DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0016] Hereinafter, a building structure in which a wall storage shelf 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention is adopted will be described with reference to FIG.
[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the building structure 100 has a wall 101 in an interior room and a wall storage shelf 1 fitted into an opening 102 (see FIG. 8) formed in the wall 101. The wall 101 has a wall surface 101a that defines a part of the interior room, and an opening 102 is formed in the wall surface 101a. The wall 101 may be any wall such as a kitchen counter, a living room, a bathroom, a dressing room, or a toilet. The wall storage shelf 1 opens on the wall surface 101a side, and is configured so that items can be placed on it from the inside of the room. In FIG. 1, the wall surface 101a side of the wall 101 is shown as the front, and the thickness direction of the wall 101 is shown as the front-rear direction A. In FIG. 1, the horizontal direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction A is shown as the left-right direction B, and the direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction A and the left-right direction B is shown as the up-down direction C. 2 to 8 also appropriately reflect the front-rear direction A, the left-right direction B, and the up-down direction C shown in FIG. 1 for the sake of convenience of explanation.
[0018] <Wall storage shelf 1> Next, the wall storage shelf 1 will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 2, the wall storage shelf 1 includes a storage shelf main body 10 and a cover member 20. The storage shelf main body 10 has a bottomed box shape with a rectangular opening at its front. That is, the storage shelf main body 10 has a recess 11 that opens toward the front, and an opening 12 at the front end of the recess 11. In this embodiment, since the front portion of the storage shelf main body 10 is shaped so that almost the entirety of the front portion is the opening 12, the four sides that define the opening 12 correspond to the front portion. As a modified example, a wide, annular front portion may be provided between the opening 12 of the storage shelf main body 10 and a flange portion 15 described later. In addition, the storage shelf main body 10 is formed long along the left-right direction B, and the opening 12 has a rectangular shape long in the left-right direction B.
[0019] As shown in FIG. 3, the storage shelf body 10 has a flange portion 15. The flange portion 15 is formed so as to protrude outward from the periphery of the front surface of the storage shelf body 10 (the periphery of the opening 12). The flange portion 15 is formed in an annular shape so as to surround all of the four peripheries that define the opening 12 of the storage shelf body 10. The flange portion 15 has a pair of first flange portions 16 extending parallel to the left-right direction B and a pair of second flange portions 17 extending parallel to the up-down direction C. The pair of first flange portions 16 is composed of an upper flange portion protruding upward from the upper side and a lower flange portion protruding downward from the lower side of the two upper and lower sides that define the opening 12. These upper flange portions and lower flange portions are arranged symmetrically with respect to a center line that passes through the center of the storage shelf body 10 and is parallel to the left-right direction B. The pair of first flange portions 16 has a rectangular cross-sectional shape, and the front surface 16a thereof is flat.
[0020] 3, the pair of second flange portions 17 is composed of a left flange portion protruding leftward from the left side and a right flange portion protruding rightward from the right side of the two left and right sides that define the opening 12. The left flange portion and the right flange portion are arranged symmetrically with respect to a center line that passes through the center of the storage shelf main body 10 and is parallel to the up-down direction C. In this embodiment, the left flange portion of the pair of second flange portions 17 will be described, and a detailed description of the right flange portion will be omitted.
[0021] As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the second flange portion (left flange portion) 17 has four screw holes (fixing holes) 18 and two base peep holes 19 penetrating in the thickness direction (front-rear direction A). A cutout portion 31 is formed on the outer side (left center) of the center in the up-down direction C of the second flange portion 17. The two base peep holes 19 are arranged at positions sandwiching the cutout portion 31 in the up-down direction C. Each base peep hole 19 has a long rectangular shape along the up-down direction C. The four screw holes 18 are arranged two by two at positions sandwiching the two base peep holes 19 in the up-down direction C. Each screw hole 18 has an elongated hole shape extending along the left-right direction B. That is, the screw holes 18 are formed extending along a direction protruding from the periphery of the opening 12 of the second flange portion 17 to be formed.
[0022] As shown in Fig. 5, a through-hole 32 is formed on the inside center in the up-down direction C of the second flange portion 17 (on the right side of the center near the opening 12) so as to penetrate in the thickness direction. A locked portion 33 that is locked by a locking claw 23a (described later) is formed in the rear portion of the through-hole 32. The locked portion 33 is a rod-shaped member extending along the up-down direction C, and is connected to upper and lower wall surfaces 32a that define the through-hole 32. In addition, as shown in Figs. 4 and 6, four locked grooves 34 that are locked by locking claws 24a, 25a, and 26a (described later) are formed in the rear portion of the periphery of the second flange portion 17.
[0023] 4, the second flange portion 17 is formed so that its front surface 17a is located one step behind the front surface 16a of the first flange portion 16. More specifically, the second flange portion 17 is formed to protrude from the periphery of the opening 12 so that the front surface 20a of the cover member 20 and the front surface 16a of the first flange portion 16 are substantially flush (i.e., substantially flush) when the cover member 20 is attached to the second flange portion 17. In this embodiment, the front surface 20a of the cover member 20 protrudes 1 mm from the front surface 16a of the first flange portion 16 (is positioned to protrude forward). As a modified example, the front surface 20a may be located slightly behind the front surface 16a.
[0024] 2, the cover member 20 has two cover parts 21. The two cover parts 21 are configured to be detachable to the left and right flange parts of the second flange portion 17. These two cover parts 21 are also arranged symmetrically with respect to a center line parallel to the up-down direction C that passes through the center of the storage rack main body 10. In this embodiment, the cover part 21 that is detachable to the left flange part will be described, and a detailed description of the cover part 21 that is detachable to the right flange part will be omitted.
[0025] As shown in FIG. 7, the cover portion 21 has a box shape in which a recess 22 that opens toward the rear is formed. The right side wall 23 that defines the recess 22 of the cover portion 21 has two notches 23a and a fitting piece 23b. The two notches 23a are arranged in the center portion of the right side wall 23 in the up-down direction C, that is, in a position sandwiching the fitting piece 23b. The fitting piece 23b is a portion that remains by forming the two notches 23a in the right side wall 23, and is configured to be able to be fitted into the through-hole 32 of the second flange portion 17. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7(a), two locking claws 23c are formed in the fitting piece 23b. These locking claws 23c are formed to protrude leftward from the fitting piece 23b and are arranged spaced apart from each other in the up-down direction C. The two locking claws 23c are configured to be able to lock with the locked portion 33 when the fitting piece 23b is fitted into the through portion 32.
[0026] As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, four locking claws 24a, 25a, and 26a are formed on the left side wall 24, the upper side wall 25, and the lower side wall 26 that define the recess 22 of the cover part 21. Two locking claws 24a are formed on the left side wall 24 protruding rightward from the left side wall 24. These two locking claws 24a are arranged apart from each other along the up-down direction C. One locking claw 25a is formed on the upper side wall 25 protruding downward from the upper side wall 25. One locking claw 26a is formed on the lower side wall 26 protruding upward from the lower side wall 26. These four locking claws 24a, 25a, and 26a are configured to be able to be locked into the four locked grooves 34 when the cover part 21 is attached to the second flange portion 17.
[0027] 2, the cover portion 21 is formed so that the front surface 20a of the cover member 20 (the front surface of the cover portion 21) and the front surface 16a of the first flange portion 16 are flush with each other when the cover portion 21 is attached to the second flange portion 17. The cover portion 21 is formed so that the cover portion 21 can cover the entire front surface 17a of the second flange portion 17 (i.e., the entirety of the screw holes 18, the peep holes 19 in the base, the notches 31, etc.) when the cover portion 21 is attached to the second flange portion 17.
[0028] Next, the situation when mounting the wall storage shelf 1 on the wall 101 will be described below with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 8. First, as shown in Fig. 8, the storage shelf main body 10 is inserted into the opening 102 formed in the wall 101, and the flange portion 15 is brought into contact with the wall surface 101a. Then, the storage shelf main body 10 is positioned while checking the underlying wall surface 101a through the peephole 19 in the base. Thereafter, with the storage shelf main body 10 positioned, pilot holes are formed in the portions of the wall surface 101a that face each of the screw holes 18.
[0029] Next, screws (fixing devices) are screwed into pilot holes from each screw hole 18 to fasten the storage shelf main body 10 to the wall 101. At this time, because the screw holes 18 have an elongated hole shape, the stress generated when the screws are driven diagonally outward to perform oblique fastening can be released to the side. This makes it possible to perform oblique fastening well. Also, in this embodiment, because the storage shelf main body 10 can be fixed to the wall 101 with screws, the installation position of the storage shelf main body 10 can be fine-tuned by loosening the screws.
[0030] Next, the two cover portions 21 of the cover member 20 are attached to the pair of second flange portions 17. That is, the fitting pieces 23b of the cover portions 21 are fitted into the through-holes 32 of the second flange portions 17, and the locking claws 23c are locked to the locked portions 33. At this time, the four locking claws 24a, 25a, 26a are locked to the four locked grooves 34 of the second flange portions 17. In this way, the cover member 20 covers the entire front surfaces 17a of the pair of second flange portions 17, and the mounting of the wall storage shelf 1 to the wall 101 is completed.
[0031] As described above, even if the storage shelf main body 10 is fixed to the wall surface 101a with screws (fixing devices) passing through the screw holes (fixing holes) 18, it is possible to cover the screws and the screw holes 18 with the cover member 20. Therefore, even if the storage shelf main body 10 is attached with screws, it is possible to achieve a beautiful finish. Also, the position of the base can be confirmed through the peep hole 19 in the base, and the storage shelf main body 10 can be reliably fastened with screws.
[0032] In addition, the cover member 20 is formed so that its front surface 20a and the front surface 16a of the first flange portion 16 are flush with each other when the cover member 20 is attached to the second flange portion 17. This gives the wall storage shelf 1 a more beautiful finish.
[0033] Furthermore, since a base peephole 19 is formed in the second flange portion 17, the position of the wall surface 101a (base) can be confirmed through the base peephole 19, and the storage shelf main body 10 can be reliably fastened with screws.
[0034] Also, two base peepholes 19 are formed in each second flange portion 17. This allows the position of the wall surface 101a (base) to be confirmed along the arrangement direction of the base peepholes 19 (up-down direction C) using the multiple base peepholes 19, and allows the storage shelf main body 10 to be fastened with screws more reliably.
[0035] In this embodiment, two screw holes 18 are provided as long holes at the top and bottom of each of the flange portions 17 on both the left and right sides.This is because if the screws interfere with the joints of the base materials, they may widen the joints of the base materials or loosen the fastening, so that it is possible to select positions for the two screw holes 18 at each location that do not interfere with the joints depending on how the base materials are assembled.
[0036] Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the claims. For example, in the above embodiment, the cover portion 21 of the cover member 20 covers the entire front surface 17a of the second flange portion 17 when attached to the second flange portion 17, but it may cover only the screw holes 18. Even in this case, it is possible to achieve a beautiful finish even if the storage shelf main body 10 is attached with screws, as described above.
[0037] Furthermore, each first flange portion 16 may be provided with one or more screw holes 18 as fixing holes similar to those of the second flange portion 17. In this case, it is sufficient that the cover member 20 is configured to be able to cover each first flange portion 16. Furthermore, as long as the screw holes 18 are formed in the first flange portion 16 and the second flange portion 17 is configured to be able to be covered with the cover member 20, the second flange portion 17 may be similar to the first flange portion 16 that is not covered with the cover member 20.
[0038] Further, although two substrate peepholes 19 are formed in each flange portion 17 in the above embodiment, one or three or more substrate peepholes 19 may be formed. Further, the substrate peephole 19 may not be formed in the flange portion 15. Further, the screw holes 18 may have a shape other than an elongated hole shape. [Explanation of symbols]
