Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to storage furniture used in combination with a TV stand. More specifically, the present invention relates to storage furniture that can be arranged integrally with the TV stand to efficiently utilize the living space while achieving both storage capacity and ensuring a smooth flow line.

Background Art

[0002] With the spread of large TVs, the demand for TV stands is increasing. Since a TV stand itself does not have a storage function for peripheral devices and small items, when using a TV stand, it is necessary to additionally prepare means for storing peripheral devices and the like. Patent Document 1 discloses a box-shaped shelf that can be attached to the support part of a TV stand and store peripheral devices and small items. Patent Document 2 discloses a TV stand that can be installed on the floor surface and store peripheral devices and cords.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in the shelf disclosed in Patent Document 1, there are limitations in the size and quantity of peripheral devices and small items that can be stored, and there is a problem that the strength of the shelf is insufficient when storing heavy peripheral devices. Further, in the TV stand disclosed in Patent Document 2, although the limitations on the size, quantity, and weight of peripheral devices and small items that can be stored are eliminated, since the TV stand is generally arranged along the wall in a living room or the like, when the TV stand is installed in front of the TV stand, a useless space is generated between the TV stand and the wall. Further, when the TV stand is arranged beside the TV stand, it occupies a large space along the wall and impairs the aesthetic appearance. In any case, there is a problem of squeezing the living space.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide storage furniture that effectively utilizes limited living space and achieves both storage capacity and ensuring of a flow line.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The storage furniture of the present invention comprises a box-shaped body having an internal space and provided on an installation surface, and a notch portion is recessed on the back surface of the main body portion so that a vertically long TV stand having a support portion for supporting a TV arranged in the upper space of the main body portion and a base portion provided on the installation surface can be arranged.

[0007] The main body portion has a bottom plate portion facing the installation surface, and legs for supporting the main body portion so that a predetermined gap into which the base portion enters is formed between the bottom plate portion and the installation surface.

[0008] The notch portion is formed substantially at the center in the width direction of the back surface.

[0009] The interior of the main body portion is divided into a plurality of compartments by at least one partition portion, and a part of the partition portion forms the surface of the notch portion on the back surface.

Effects of the Invention

[0010] The storage furniture according to the present invention can be arranged integrally with a TV stand, and while efficiently utilizing the living space, it can achieve both a storage function and ensuring a traffic line.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] Hereinafter, the storage furniture according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, the main body 2 of the storage furniture 1 of the present invention is composed of a box-shaped body having a top plate portion 3 and a bottom plate portion 4, and a notch portion 8 in which a vertically long TV stand can be disposed is recessed substantially at the center in the width direction of the back surface 5. A left leg portion 9 and a right leg portion 10 for supporting the main body portion 2 are provided near both left and right ends of the bottom plate portion 4 so as to form a gap between the bottom plate portion 4 and the installation surface. Through holes 14 for passing power cords and various wirings are formed in the back surface 5.

[0014] In use, as shown in Fig. 2, a TV stand support portion 23 is disposed in the notch portion 8, and a TV stand base portion 24 is installed in the gap between the bottom plate portion 4 between the left leg portion 9 and the right leg portion 10 and the installation surface. Thereby, as shown in Fig. 3, the storage furniture 1 and the TV stand 20 can be integrally arranged, so that the aesthetic appearance can be maintained. Further, according to the present invention, as shown in Fig. 4, the back surface 5 of the storage furniture 1 can be installed in contact with the wall 25 such as in the living room, so that the living space can be efficiently utilized.

[0015] As shown in Fig. 5, a door 11 is installed on the front surface of the storage furniture 1 of the present invention, and peripheral devices and small items can be stored inside. The inside is divided into a plurality of compartments by providing a partition portion 12, which makes it easier to organize according to the types of stored items. Removable storage shelves 13 are provided in each compartment, so that the internal space can be efficiently utilized.

[0016] Fig. 7 shows a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of the rear view of the storage furniture 1 of the present invention shown in Fig. 6. As shown in Fig. 7, on the side of the back surface 5, a part of the outer surface of the partition portion 12 of the internal compartment forms the surface of the notch portion 8.

[0017] Next, the storage furniture according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 8. In the storage furniture according to the second embodiment, the three surfaces of the notch portion 8 recessed in the back surface 5 are each formed so as to be substantially in the same plane extending from the upper end of the top plate portion 3 to the lower end of the bottom plate portion 4. Further, the left leg portion 9 and the right leg portion 10 are formed by extending the left side surface 6 and the right side surface 7 vertically downward. Thereby, even when the lateral width of the storage furniture is narrowed, a TV stand support portion can be disposed in the notch portion 8, and a TV stand base portion can be installed in the gap between the bottom plate portion 4 between the left leg portion 9 and the right leg portion 10 and the installation surface.

[0018] In addition, in the storage furniture shown in each embodiment, a notch is formed at approximately the center in the width direction of the back surface to give an aesthetic appearance. However, depending on the convenience of the installation space and the like, it may be formed at an arbitrary position in the width direction of the back surface. Further, in the storage furniture shown in each embodiment, the door formed on the front surface is a double-leaf door, but it may be a sliding door, a drawer, or a combination thereof, or there may be no door. Further, in the storage furniture shown in each embodiment, casters may be provided at the four corners of the front, rear, left, and right of the bottom plate portion as legs so that it can move freely. Further, the arrangement and number of the doors and the partition portions inside are not limited to those in each embodiment. Furthermore, the arrangement and number of the through holes formed on the back surface are not limited to those in each embodiment.
