[0025] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the storage table main body 100 is provided with hinge portions 110 at the front and rear ends of the left end portion, each having a pillar fitting hole 110a into which the base end portion 311 of the left side pillar 310 described later is fitted, and is provided with pillar fitting portions 120 at the front and rear ends of the right end portion, each having a pillar fitting hole 120a into which the base end portion 321 of the right side pillar 320 described later is fitted.
[0026] The left handle bar 210 is formed at each end with a support column fitting portion 211 having a support column fitting hole 211a into which the tip end of a left support column 310, which will be described later, is fitted.
[0027] The right handle bar 220 is formed at each end with a support column fitting portion 221 having a support column fitting hole 221a into which the tip end of a right support column 320, which will be described later, is fitted.
[0028] The left side support 310 has a base end 311 that fits into the support fitting hole 110a of the hinge portion 110 of the storage table main body 100, and a tip end 312 that fits into the support fitting hole 211a of the support fitting portion 211 of the left side handle bar 210.
[0029] The right side support 320 has a base end 321 that fits into the support fitting hole 120a of the support fitting portion 120 of the storage table main body 100, and a tip end 322 that fits into the support fitting hole 221a of the support fitting portion 221 of the right side handle bar 220.
[0030] A plurality of retaining rings 420 and / or a plurality of retaining holders 430 are fixedly or slidably mounted on the connecting bar 400, and a holder portion 410 is provided on each end thereof for fastening and connecting the left and right handle bars 210, 220 by a fastening means described later.
[0031] In the present invention, the pair of left support columns 310, 310 can be folded onto the storage table main body 100 by the pair of hinge portions 110, 110.

[0034] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the stacked state of the storage table before packaging for distribution.
[0035] As shown in FIG. 4, when the storage stand of the present invention is packaged for shipment at a production factory, first, the pair of left support columns 310, 310 connected by the left handle bar 210 are folded onto the top surface of the storage stand main body 100 by the pair of hinge portions 110, 110, and then the pair of right support columns 320, 320 connected by the right handle bar 220 and the connecting bar 400 are stacked on top of each other in order, thereby minimizing the volume of the storage stand when packaged, and since it is only necessary to insert the multiple casters 130 and the multiple stoppers 140 into the empty space before packaging, this has the advantage of being convenient in terms of distribution and storage.
[0036] Also, although not shown, hinge portions having post fitting holes can be provided at the front and rear ends of the right side end of the storage table main body 100, similar to the front and rear ends of the left side end, so that the pair of right side posts 320, 320 can be folded onto the storage table main body 100.
[0037] At this time, for example, if the right hinge portion is formed longer than the left hinge portion 110 by the thickness of the left support pillar 310, the pair of right support pillars 320, 320 folded by the pair of right hinge portions can be placed on top of the pair of left support pillars 310, 310 folded onto the upper surface of the storage table main body 100 by the pair of left hinge portions 110, 110. This provides the effect of minimizing the volume of the storage table when packaging for shipment at the production factory, as described above.
[0038] FIG. 5 is an enlarged perspective view of the right holder portion 410 of the connecting bar 400, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the fastening structure between the right holder portion 410 of the connecting bar 400 and the right handle bar 220. As shown in FIG.
[0039] In the present invention, as a fastening means between the left and right holder portions 410, 410 of the connecting bar 400 and the left and right handle bars 210, 220, a plurality of fitting grooves 232 are formed on each opposing surface of the left and right handle bars 210, 220, as shown in Figures 3, 5 and 6, and a plurality of fitting protrusions 412 that fit into the plurality of fitting grooves 232 are formed on each inward-facing inner surface of the left and right holder portions 410, 410 of the connecting bar 400.
[0040] As a result, the left and right holder portions 410, 410 of the connecting bar 400 and the left and right handle bars 210, 220 are fastened to each other by the multiple engaging protrusions 412 engaging with the multiple engaging grooves 232, respectively, with the left and right handle bars 210, 220 respectively fitted into the left and right holder portions 410, 410 of the connecting bar 400.
[0041] In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the tips of the plurality of fitting protrusions 412 have an inclined surface which gradually becomes higher toward the bottom surface side of the holder portion, so that the left and right handle bars 210, 220 can be easily fitted into the left and right holder portions 410, 410 of the connecting bar 400. Moreover, when the left and right handle bars 210, 220 are completely fitted into the left and right holder portions 410, 410 of the connecting bar 400, the inner surfaces of the plurality of fitting protrusions 412 which have a high protruding height are deeply engaged with the groove edges of the plurality of fitting grooves 232. As a result, the fitting state between the plurality of fitting protrusions 412 and the plurality of fitting grooves 232 is firmly maintained, and thus durability due to the fastening between the connecting bar 400 and the left and right handle bars 210, 220 is significantly improved.
[0042] Furthermore, in the present invention, as shown in Figures 3 to 6, it is preferable to form a guide protrusion 413 on the outward inner surface of at least one of the left and right holder portions 410, 410 of the connecting bar 400, and to form a guide groove 233 for guiding the guide protrusion 413 on the outer surface of the corresponding one of the left and right handle bars 210, 220.
[0043] As a result, by matching the guide protrusions 413 and the guide grooves 233, the connecting bar 400 can always be assembled to the left and right handle bars 210, 220 in the same position and direction, so that when a consumer purchases and assembles the storage stand of the present invention, the plurality of retaining rings 420 and the plurality of retaining holders 430 of the connecting bar 400 can always be assembled in the same position and direction.
[0044] In addition, in the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, it is preferable to form a plurality of recesses 101 and a number of long horizontal protrusions 102 at predetermined intervals on the surface of the storage table body 100 so that the cleaning tools or working tools fitted in the plurality of retaining rings 420 or the plurality of retaining holders 430 of the connecting bar 400 can be maintained in an upright state on the storage table body 100.
[0045] This prevents the lower ends of cleaning tools and working tools erected on the storage table body 100 from slipping by fitting into the multiple recesses 101 or hooking onto the numerous long lateral projections 102, thereby maintaining the storage condition of the cleaning tools and working tools in good condition.
[0046] FIG. 7 is a bottom view showing the structure of the bottom of the storage table main body.
[0047] In the present invention, it is preferable that the storage table main body 100 has caster fixing holes 103 formed near the four corners of the bottom surface, into which casters 130 can be freely inserted and removed, and that stopper fixing holes 104 formed near the front and rear ends of at least one of the left and right ends of the bottom surface, as shown in Figure 7.
[0048] This makes it easier to move and secure the storage table of the present invention, and also reduces the play of the storage table when inserting and removing cleaning tools and working tools.
[0049] In addition, the storage table main body 100 can be used by attaching only the casters 130 or only the stoppers 140 as necessary, and the storage table main body 100 can also be used by attaching the casters 130 to one end and the stoppers 140 to the other end.
[0050] The invention made by the present inventor has been specifically described above based on the embodiments thereof. However, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit of the invention.
