Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to a partition shelf for storing plate-shaped items upright. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, in partition shelves that store plate-shaped items upright, when multiple items are stored closely together, there is no space between the items to fit fingers in, which can make it difficult to grab an item when trying to remove it.

[0003] In response to this, a partitioned shelf has been proposed that provides gaps between stored items to allow fingers to fit through, making it easier to grab and remove stored items. (Non-Patent Document 1) [Prior art documents]

[0004] [Non-Patent Document 1] Matsusada Precision Co., Ltd. Aluminum frame Metal mask shelf URL: https: / / www.matsusada.co.jp / product / clean / cell-production / msk / Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In Non-Patent Document 1, stored items are easy to grab and remove, but because dividers are provided to ensure gaps for inserting fingers, there is an issue that the number of items that can be stored is reduced by the amount of the gaps.

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a partition shelf structured so that plate-shaped items can be easily grasped and removed even when they are stored upright with no gaps between them. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The invention of claim 1 to solve the above problem is a partition shelf for storing plate-shaped items in an upright position, lined up from left to right toward the front of the shelf, with the partition shelf placed on the top surface of the shelf, and with multiple partition shelves lined up from left to right toward the front of the shelf, the partition shelves have raised edges on both the left and right sides, which separate each item individually, the partition shelves are structured so that the items are placed in the center, and there is a handle in front of the partition shelves that can be grasped or hooked with the fingers, and a protrusion for forward and backward movement is provided on one of the shelf shelves or partition shelves, and an engaging portion into which the protrusion for forward and backward movement fits is provided on the other, and by engaging these, the protrusion for forward and backward movement is restricted to only moving forward and backward within the range of the engaging portion, allowing the partition shelves to move forward and backward individually.

[0008] The invention of claim 2 is a partition shelf as described in claim 1, characterized in that the protrusion for forward and backward movement is provided with a protrusion for preventing it from coming loose from the mating part, thereby preventing the partition plate from coming loose from the partition shelf. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to this invention, it is possible to provide a partition shelf with a structure that makes it easy to take out plate-shaped items even when they are stored upright with no gaps. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0010] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which the partition shelf is separated into a shelf body, a partition plate, and stored items. [Diagram 2] FIG. [Diagram 3] This is an oblique view showing the shelf body separated by the top plate, shelf board assembly, and support posts. [Figure 4] This is an oblique view showing the shelf board and the partition holder of the shelf board set. [Diagram 5] 13 is a cross-sectional view showing the positional relationship of the protrusions when the partition plate is moved forward. FIG. [Figure 6] 13 is a cross-sectional view showing the positional relationship of the protrusions when the partition plate is moved rearward. FIG. [Figure 7] FIG. 11 is a front cross-sectional view showing the protrusions when the partition shelf is in use. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] The partition shelf of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. In the description of the embodiments in this specification, the terms "front", "back", "left", "right", "upper" and "lower" are shown in FIG. 1 for ease of understanding.

[0012] As shown in FIG. 1, the partition shelf is constructed to be assembled from a shelf body 1 and a partition plate 2, and after assembly, an item 3 can be placed inside.

[0013] As shown in Figure 2, the partition plate 2 has risers 6 on the left and right sides and a riser 7 on the rear, and a handle 8 on the front. In addition, the partition plate 2 has a protrusion 4 for forward and backward movement downward on the rear right side, and a protrusion 5 to the right of the protrusion 4 for forward and backward movement to prevent it from falling out.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 3, the shelf body 1 is composed of a support 9, a top plate 10, and a shelf plate assembly 11.

[0015] As shown in Fig. 4, the shelf board set 11 is constructed to be assembled by a shelf board 12 and a partition holder 13. The shelf board also has a fitting portion 15 for receiving the projection 4 for forward and backward movement.

[0016] As shown in Fig. 5, the partition plate 2 is in a state of being moved forward. When an item 3 is placed on the partition plate 2, by moving the partition plate 2 forward, the item 3 also comes forward, making it easy to grasp and take out the item 3.

[0017] 6, the partition plate 2 is in a state of being moved backward. When an item 3 is placed on the partition plate 2, it can be stored by moving the partition plate 2 backward.

[0018] 5 and 6, the partition plate 2 is placed on the upper surface of the shelf plate 12, and the protrusion 4 for front-rear movement of the partition plate 2 is constructed to fit into a mating portion 14 on the shelf plate 12, and the protrusion 4 for front-rear movement is configured to be able to move only within the range of the mating portion 14. In addition, the range within which the protrusion 4 for front-rear movement can move is the position where the protrusion 4 for front-rear movement abuts on the end face of the mating portion 14.

[0019] As shown in Figure 7, when the protrusion 4 for moving the partition plate 2 back and forth is stored in the mating portion 14 on the shelf plate 12, when the partition plate 2 is lifted upward, the anti-slip protrusion 5 comes into contact with the lower surface of the shelf plate 12, so that the partition plate 2 does not come out of the mating portion 14. [Industrial Applicability]

[0020] The partition shelf of this invention makes it easy to take out plank-shaped items even when they are stored upright with no gaps, and is useful when you want to maximize the number of items you can store in a limited space. [Explanation of symbols]
