Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the structure of a closet installed in a condominium or other multi-family housing, or in a single-family house. The closet structure of the present invention can be effectively applied not only to newly built houses but also to renovations.

Background Art

[0002] Regarding the internal structure of a closet installed in a residential room of a house, there are various requirements so that it can be effectively used according to the age of the occupants and the family composition. For example, a conventional closet provided with a hanger pipe for hanging clothes at an upper position inside the closet has a short front-to-back width and is inconvenient for storing, for example, futons. Also, a conventional closet mainly for storing futons and the like is not structured for storing clothes. By reforming such a conventional closet, it is possible to make it into a closet structure provided with a hanger pipe for hanging clothes at an upper position, but there tends to be a lot of wasted space and it tends to be inefficient.

[0003] Patent Document 1 below shows a closet structure in which a box-shaped storage shelf partitioned into two upper and lower stages and four left and right rows is provided on the rear wall surface of the closet, and a hanger pipe is hung between the tips of bracket arms protruding from the left and right front sides of the upper plate of the storage shelf. A pull-out wagon for storing clothes is provided in the space below the storage shelf.

[0004] In the closet structure of Patent Document 1, the storage shelf and the hanger pipe are integrated, and their mounting positions are mutually restricted. When the front-to-back width of the storage shelf is increased, the size of the clothes that can be hung on the hanger pipe is restricted.

[0005] Therefore, the applicant has devised a user-friendly closet structure that can be adapted to the age, family structure, and preferences of the resident, in which the internal structure of a closet installed in a house is designed such that the front half of the closet is equipped with a hanger pipe for hanging clothes, the rear half is equipped with shelves for placing folded clothes and accessories, and the space at the bottom of the closet can be used as storage space for things like futons.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2005-261580 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3205182 Publication [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0007] However, due to subsequent changes in lifestyle, the use of bedding has decreased, and it is now used less frequently, mainly only when guests come over. As a result, it is more practical to store bedding that is not used regularly in the upper space of the closet, and frequently used items in the lower space, making them easier to access.

[0008] In view of the above points, this invention improves upon the invention described in Patent Document 2 and provides a closet structure that can adapt to changes in lifestyle. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] Means for achieving the above objective will be described with reference to the embodiments shown in the figures. The present invention according to claim 1 or 2 relates to the internal structure of a closet 2 provided in the room of a house 1(1'), wherein a hanger rod 5 consisting of a hanger pipe spanning between the left and right side walls 6, 6 of the closet 2 is provided at an upper position in the front half portion 3 of the interior of the closet 2, and multiple shelves are provided in the left and right directions from an upper position to an intermediate position along the rear wall 7 of the rear half portion 4 of the interior of the closet 2, and the front-to-back width of the uppermost shelf 8 of the multiple shelves is the same as the shelf below the upper shelf 8 (middle shelf 9, lower shelf 10) The closet structure is characterized by being wider than the front-to-back width, extending from the rear wall 7 to the vicinity of the front half 3 of the interior of the closet 2, which is near the door 12 that opens and closes the closet 2, the height position of the hanger rod 5 is lower than the height position of the upper shelf 8, a storage space S1 is formed between the upper shelf 8 and the upper board 13 inside the closet 2, and a storage space S2 is formed between the lowest shelf 10 of the multiple upper and lower shelves and the bottom board 11 inside the closet 2.

[0010] The present invention, as described in claim 3, is a closet structure in which the front-to-back width of the middle shelf 9 and the lower shelf 10 in claim 2 are approximately the same.

[0011] In the closet structure according to each of the above claims, the number and spacing of the shelves below the upper shelf 8 are arbitrary and may be one or two or more shelves.

[0012] In the present invention according to claim 4, the front-to-back width of the inside of the closet 2 in claim 1 or 2 is approximately 900 mm, the front-to-back length from the rear wall 7 inside the closet 2 to the hanger rod 5 is approximately 565 mm, the front-to-back width of the upper shelf 8 is approximately 835 mm, the front-to-back width of the shelves below the upper shelf 8 (middle shelf 9, lower shelf 10) is approximately 265 mm, the vertical length of the storage space S1 between the top upper shelf 8 and the top board 13 inside the closet 2 is approximately 500 mm, and the vertical length of the storage space S2 between the bottom lower shelf 10 and the bottom board 11 inside the closet 2 is approximately 1100 mm.

[0013] In the internal structure of the closet described above, the front half 3, which has the hanger rod 5, has sufficient front-to-back and top-to-bottom space, so that long clothes such as long dresses and coats can be stored on hangers h. The shelves below the rear half 4 of the back of the hanger rod 5 (middle shelf 9, bottom shelf 10) can store folded clothing accessories such as bags and hats, as well as seasonal clothing. The upper shelf 8 is located above the hanger rod 5, and the front-to-back width of the upper shelf 8 can be made long regardless of the position of the hanger rod 5, so that the storage space S1 above it can store folded bedding that is not used regularly, and the storage space 12 below it can store clothing accessories, clothes, and storage boxes. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] In the closet structure according to this invention, the front half, which has a hanger rod, has sufficient front-to-back and top-to-bottom space, allowing for ample storage of long clothing such as long dresses and coats via hangers. The shelf below the rear half of the hanger rod can be used to store folded clothing accessories such as bags and hats, as well as seasonal clothing. The upper shelf is located above the hanger rod, so it is not obstructed by the hanger rod, and the wide top surface of the shelf provides ample space, allowing for the storage of folded bedding as needed. In addition, the storage space below can be used to store clothing accessories, clothing, and storage boxes. Thus, this invention allows for the effective use of the interior of a closet, particularly a closet with a wide front-to-back layout similar to a conventional storage closet, in accordance with the resident's age, family structure, or preferences, resulting in a user-friendly closet structure.

[0015] In the closet structure according to this invention, the height of the hanger rod is lower than the height of the upper shelf. Therefore, even if the front-to-back width of the upper shelf is wider than that of the lower shelf, the width of the storage space below the hanger rod can be made sufficiently long, allowing for ample storage of long clothing such as long dresses and coats. Since the front-to-back width of the upper shelf is wider than that of the lower shelf, it is not obstructed by the hanger rod, and relatively large items such as futons that are not used regularly can be placed on it and used effectively.

[0016] Furthermore, the closet structure according to this invention makes it possible to easily convert a conventional storage space into a user-friendly closet at the request of the homeowner during new construction or through renovation, and thus has the effect of being effectively implemented not only in new homes but also through renovations.
