[0018] Hereinafter, the configuration of a storage fixture according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the side where the shelf opening is located and where objects to be stored are inserted and removed will be referred to as the front side.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 1, the storage fixture 1 comprises a fixture main body 2 having multiple storage spaces S therein, and an item storage unit 10 provided in the storage spaces S. Multiple storage spaces S are provided vertically in a shelf-like manner in the internal space W of the storage fixture 1. There may be only one storage space S. Each storage space S is closed at the top and bottom and is open to the front in the front-to-rear direction. The fixture main body 2 is installed, for example, in the space below the top of a desk. The fixture main body 2 may be installed against a wall inside a room.

[0020] The fixture body 2 is a storage shelf for storing and organizing storage objects such as documents. The fixture body 2 has a bottom plate 3 that is placed on a support surface such as a floor. The bottom plate 3 is formed in a rectangular plate shape. A pair of vertical rods 4, 5 are arranged to stand upward at right angles from both short side surfaces of the bottom plate 3. The pair of vertical rods 4, 5 are formed in a rectangular plate shape.

[0021] A top plate 6 is disposed at the upper ends of the pair of vertical rods 4, 5, facing the bottom plate 3. The top plate 6 is formed in a rectangular plate shape. An internal space W is formed by the bottom plate 3, the pair of vertical rods 4, 5, and the top plate 6. A rectangular opening on the rear side of the internal space W is closed by a rear plate 7. The rear plate 7 is formed in a rectangular plate shape so as to be fixed to the end on the rear side of the storage space S formed by the bottom plate 3, the pair of vertical rods 4, 5, and the top plate 6.

[0022] A shelf board 8 is provided inside the fixture body 2, dividing the internal space W horizontally. The shelf board 8 is formed in a rectangular plate shape. The shelf board 8 is adjusted to any height in the internal space W and attached. For example, both short side surfaces of the shelf board 8 are supported by a pair of vertical rods 4, 5. When there is only one storage space S, the shelf board 8 may be the bottom board 3.

[0023] The shelf board 8 forms, for example, a plurality of storage spaces S in the internal space W. In this embodiment, the shelf board 8 is fixed at a height adjusted to allow the upper storage space S to store documents of a predetermined size (for example, A4 size).

[0024] A rectangular opening is formed on the front side in the front-rear direction in the storage space S. A plurality of shelf boards 8 may be provided. The bottom board 3, the pair of vertical rods 4, 5, the top board 6, the back board 7, and the shelf board 8 are formed into a plate shape having a predetermined thickness, for example, by bending and combining metal plates. This ensures that the bottom board 3, the pair of vertical rods 4, 5, the top board 6, the back board 7, and the shelf board 8 have a predetermined bending rigidity.

[0025] An item storage unit 10 is fixed to the storage space S. The item storage unit 10 is fixed, for example, at an arbitrary position in the storage space S when viewed from the opening direction. The item storage unit 10 is accommodated in at least one of the storage spaces S and divides the storage space S in a left-right direction intersecting the up-down direction and the front-rear direction to form an item storage space B in a part of the storage space S in which items can be stored. The item storage unit 10 may be installed toward either the left or right side in the left-right direction in the storage space S, or may be installed at an arbitrary position in the left-right direction and used as a partition.

[0026] As shown in Figure 2, the item storage unit 10 comprises a housing 11 which forms an item storage space B therein, a lid portion 20 which is provided on the housing 11 and which is capable of opening and closing between the item storage space B and the outside of the housing itself, an item storage section C which is attached to the lid portion 20 and is positioned inside the item storage space B for storing items, and a fixing portion 30 which is capable of fixing the housing 11 to the fixture main body 2 from the item storage space B.

[0027] The housing 11 divides the storage spaces S in the left-right direction when viewed from the opening direction, and forms an item storage space B inside. The item storage space B is formed so that it can accommodate A4-sized items in the up-down direction. The housing 11 is formed in a box shape that closes at least both sides when viewed from the opening direction of the storage spaces S to form the item storage space B.

[0028] The housing 11 has a top plate 15 arranged along the upper surface that closes the storage space S, and a bottom plate 12 arranged along the lower surface that closes the storage space S. The housing 11 has a substantially rectangular opening that opens to one side in the front-to-rear direction between the top plate 15 and the bottom plate 12. The lid portion 20 closes the opening. The bottom plate 12 is formed, for example, in the shape of a rectangular plate. The bottom plate 12 is installed on the shelf board 8 so that one short side faces the front.

[0029] The bottom plate 12 is provided with a fixing portion for fixing to the shelf plate 8, for example, as described later. A pair of side plates 13, 14 are provided on both longitudinal sides of the bottom plate 12, standing in an upward orthogonal direction. The pair of side plates 13, 14 are formed in a rectangular plate shape. A top plate 15 is provided on the upper ends of the pair of side plates 13, 14, to which the upper ends of the pair of side plates 13, 14 are attached. The top plate 15 is arranged, for example, so as to contact the lower surface of the top plate 6 of the furniture main body 2, or so as to be spaced apart by a small interval. The top plate 15 is formed in a rectangular plate shape. The top plate 15 may have ribs formed in an uneven shape when viewed from the opening direction of the furniture main body 2.

[0030] An opening is formed on the rear surface of the housing 11. This opening is closed by the rear plate 7 when the housing 11 is fixed to the multiple storage spaces S. This opening may be closed by a plate-like body. With the above-mentioned configuration, an item storage space B is formed inside the housing 11, surrounded by the bottom plate 12, the pair of side plates 13, 14, the top plate 15, and the rear plate 7. In the housing 11, a lid portion 20 that can be opened and closed is provided on the opening side (the opening side of the multiple storage spaces S) of the front surface of the item storage space B. The lid portion 20 is formed, for example, to have approximately the same height as the openings of the multiple storage spaces S. The bottom plate 12, the pair of side plates 13, 14, and the top plate 15 are formed, for example, into a plate shape by processing a metal plate. The lid portion 20 is formed, for example, into a plate shape having a predetermined thickness by folding and combining a metal plate.

[0031] The bottom plate 12, the pair of side plates 13, 14, the top plate 15, and the lid 20 may be formed using punching metal, rod-shaped bodies, or mesh plates so that the item storage space B can be visually confirmed. That is, the housing 11 may be formed in a louvered or meshed shape. The housing 11 may also be formed using a transparent or semi-transparent resin plate so that the item storage space B can be visually confirmed.

[0032] The lid portion 20 is slidably opened and closed horizontally, for example, so as to protrude from the openings of the multiple storage spaces S relative to the housing 11. The back side of the lid portion 20 facing the item storage space B is provided with, for example, an item storage section C that stores items to be stored inside the housing 11. The item storage section C is provided with an upper placement section C1 arranged at the top of the item storage space B and a lower placement section C2 arranged at the bottom of the item storage space B. The upper placement section C1 is arranged so as to divide the item storage space B in the vertical direction. The upper placement section C1 is formed in a box shape (tray) with an open top.

[0033] 3 and 4, the upper mounting portion C1 is supported by a cantilever on the back surface of the lid portion 20. A plurality of fixing holes 21 for fixing the upper mounting portion C1 are provided on the back surface of the lid portion 20. On the back surface of the lid portion 20, a group of fixing holes 21 arranged vertically is formed in two rows proximate to a pair of long sides of the lid portion 20 along the vertical direction. The fixing holes 21 are formed as rectangular through holes whose longitudinal direction is along the vertical direction.

[0034] A pair of hook portions F for engaging with the fixing holes 21 are formed on the front surface of the upper mounting portion C1. The hook portions F are formed to protrude toward the front surface of the upper mounting portion C1. A notch is formed downward at the base end of the hook portions F. With the above-described configuration, when the hook portions F are inserted into the fixing holes 21 and the upper mounting portion C1 is moved downward and the notches are engaged with the plate on the back surface of the lid portion 20, the hook portions F and the front surface of the upper mounting portion C1 cooperate to support the upper mounting portion C1 on the back surface side of the lid portion 20 by cantilevering.

[0035] The hook portion F has a sufficient strength to withstand the moment caused by the load of an article placed on the upper placement portion C1. By engaging the hook portion F with fixing holes 21 at different heights, the attachment position in the height direction of the upper placement portion C1 can be changed.

[0036] The lower mounting portion C2 is formed in a box shape with an open top. The front surface of the lower mounting portion C2 is fixed to the back surface side of the lid portion 20. As a result, the lower mounting portion C2 is supported by a cantilever on the back surface side of the lid portion 20. With the above configuration, the lid portion 20, the upper mounting portion C1, and the lower mounting portion C2 are integrally formed.

[0037] The method of fixing the upper placement part C1 and the lower placement part C2 to the lid part 20 is not limited to the above, and the upper placement part C1 and the lower placement part C2 may be placed on the frame by fixing a frame-shaped frame (not shown) to the back side of the lid part 20. A rail part R is provided below the lower placement part C2 to support the lid part 20, the upper placement part C1, and the lower placement part C2 movably relative to the housing 11.

[0038] The rail portion R is a two-stage slide rail formed so as to be freely retractable from the opening on the front side of the housing 11. The rail portion R may be formed so as to be freely retractable in two or more stages. The rail portion R includes a pair of outer rails R1 provided on the back side facing the article storage space B of the pair of side plates 13, 14, and an inner rail R2 that moves relative to the outer rails R1. The outer rail R1 is, for example, a long member attached along the horizontal direction. The outer rail R1 has, for example, an inner groove formed in a C-shaped cross section.

[0039] The inner rail R2 is a movable member that slides in the front-rear direction along the inner groove of the outer rail R1. The inner rail R2 may be provided with, for example, one or more wheels that run along the inner groove of the outer rail R1. The inner rail R2 is fixed below the lower placement part C2. The rail part R supports the lid part 20, the upper placement part C1, and the lower placement part C2 movably so as to protrude from the front surface of the housing 11.

[0040] The rail portion R may be disposed between the bottom plate 12 and the bottom surface of the lower placement portion C2. That is, the rail portion R may movably support the lower placement portion C2 so as to protrude horizontally from the opening.

[0041] The item storage unit 10 is fixed to a predetermined position in the multiple storage spaces S. The item storage unit 10 is fixed, for example, to either the left side or the right side as viewed from an opening in the multiple storage spaces S. The item storage unit 10 includes a fixing portion 30 for fixing the item storage unit 10 to the storage space.

[0042] The fixing part 30 is a fixing tool that fixes the housing 11 to the fixture body 2 from inside the housing 11. The fixing part 30 includes, for example, at least one through hole 12H formed in the bottom plate 12, at least one screw P that fastens the through hole 12H and the shelf plate 8 together, and a screw hole formed in the shelf plate 8. The shelf plate 8 has at least one screw hole (not shown) formed therein corresponding to the number and position of the through holes 12H. The screw hole may be provided in the bottom plate 3. The position of the through hole 12H shown in the figure is an example, and the bottom plate 12 may be formed in another position. The through hole may be provided not only in the bottom plate 12 but also in the top plate 15 and the pair of side plates 13 and 14. In this case, the item storage unit 10 may be fixed not only to the shelf plate 8 but also to the top plate 6 and the vertical bars 4 and 5.

[0043] The screw holes formed on the shelf board 8 side are formed in advance at predetermined positions. Nuts (not shown) may be fixed to the inside of the shelf board 8 in the screw holes. The screw holes may be formed by the user using a drill or the like when using the shelf board 8. The screw P is, for example, a screw or a tapping screw, and is attached using a tool such as a screwdriver or a wrench. The screw P may be a wing bolt, a thumb screw, or another screw that does not require tools.

[0044] The lid 20 is provided with a locking section K that maintains the lid 20 in a closed state so as to maintain the item storage space B (see Figs. 1 and 2). The locking section K is provided to maintain the closed state on the housing 11 side. The locking section K includes, for example, a cylinder lock (not shown) and a locking section (not shown) provided on the cylinder lock. When a key is inserted into the cylinder lock and it is rotated in the locking direction, the locking section rotates in conjunction with the cylinder lock and protrudes upward from an opening 22 provided on the top of the lid 20.

[0045] For example, when the locking portion is in a protruding state, it is hooked on a locked portion (not shown) provided on the top plate 15, restricting the forward movement of the lid portion 20 and maintaining the closed state. When a key is inserted into the cylinder lock and rotated in the unlocking direction, the locking portion is stored inside the lid portion 20 and the hooking with the locked portion is released. When the lock portion K is unlocked, the lid portion 20 becomes free to move forward.

[0046] By providing the lock K, the lid 20 can be kept in a closed state to close off the item storage space B, forming a confidential storage space for storing confidential items of the user. When the lock K is in a locked state, the lid 20 is in a closed state, the screw P of the fixing part 30 cannot be removed, and taking out the item storage unit 10 is restricted.

[0047] When the lock K is in an unlocked state, the lid 20 becomes movable and the screw P of the fixing part 30 can be removed. As a result, the item storage unit 10 can be freely moved to either one side of the pair of vertical rods 4, 5 in the multiple storage spaces S, or to any position in the multiple storage spaces S, and then fixed to the shelf 8 again by the screw P. The lock K may be fixed not only to the top of the lid 20, but also to other positions. The lock K may be provided not only on the lid 20, but also on the housing 11 side.

[0048] As described above, according to the present invention, the shelf-like storage space can be partitioned by the housing to form an item storage space. The housing can be fixed to either the left or right side of the opening of the storage space by the fixing part, so that the mounting position of the housing can be changed even if the storage fixture is moved, improving convenience for the user.

[0049] According to the present invention, since both side surfaces of the housing are closed, an item storage space can be secured when the housing is fixed to either the left or right side as viewed from the opening side of the storage space. According to the present invention, since the lid portion is provided on the housing, the item storage space can be closed and items can be stored in the storage space.

[0050] According to the present invention, by providing the upper placement portion, when the storage space is located at a lower position, it becomes easier for the user to store frequently used items. According to the present invention, by providing the locking portion that keeps the lid portion closed, confidential items can be stored in the item storage space.

[0051] [Variations] The above-mentioned item storage unit 10 has a lid 20 that can be opened and closed freely in a drawer style. The method of opening and closing the lid 20 is not limited to this, and it may be opened and closed by a hinge. In the following description, the same names and symbols are used for the same configurations as the above-mentioned embodiment, and duplicate descriptions are omitted as appropriate.

[0052] As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, an item storage unit 10A according to a modified example includes a housing 11 and a lid 20 attached to the housing 11 via a hinge T so as to be freely opened and closed. The lid 20 opens and closes, for example, relative to an opening on the front side of the housing 11. The hinge is provided, for example, on the underside of the opening. The lid 20 opens and closes by opening upward relative to the housing 11 with the lower side serving as a rotation axis by the hinge T. The hinge T has, for example, a hinge structure. The hinge T may be formed of a flexible plate-like body.

[0053] For example, a magnetic catch (not shown) or a magnetic latch (not shown) that magnetically attracts is provided between the top of the lid 20 and the upper side of the opening of the housing 11. A lock K is provided on the upper side of the opening of the housing 11. In the closed state, the lock K has an engagement portion K1 that engages with an engagement hole 20K formed on the upper end of the lid 20.

[0054] When the lid portion 20 is in an open state, the article storage space B is exposed through the opening of the housing 11. An upper placement portion C3 is provided in the article storage space B. The upper placement portion C3 is attached, for example, in the article storage space B so that it can be freely pulled out in the direction of the opening of the article storage space B when the lid portion 20 is in an open state. The upper placement portion C3 is formed, for example, in the shape of a tray with an open top. A flange portion G protruding in the horizontal direction is formed and extends around the opening of the upper placement portion C3. The flange portion has a pair of flange members G1 formed and extending in the longitudinal direction.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 7, for example, rail portions R5 supporting a pair of flange members G1 are provided on the side plates 13, 14 of the housing 11 on the side of the article storage space B. The rail portions R5 are formed to extend horizontally at a predetermined height position of the side plates 13, 14. The flange members G1 are placed on the rail portions R5. The rail portions R5 may be formed to sandwich the flange members from above and below. When the upper placement portion C3 is pulled out horizontally toward the opening side with the lid portion 20 in the open state, the flange members G1 move on the rail portions R5. This allows the articles stored in the upper placement portion C3 to be taken out from the opening.

[0056] As described above, according to the item storage unit 10A of the modified example, the lid portion 20 is provided so as to be openable and closable by the hinge T, so that the device configuration can be simplified.

[0057] In addition, the components in the above embodiment may be replaced with known components as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the above-mentioned modified examples may be combined or substituted as appropriate. For example, the item storage unit 10 may be provided with at least one of the side panels 13, 14 and the lid 20 by using the components of the fixture body 2, and may form the item storage space B.

[0058] The lid 20 may be opened and closed not only by being pulled out horizontally, but also by a hinge. In this case, the lid 20 may be opened and closed to the left or right about a rotation axis along the vertical direction. In this case, the upper placement part C1 and the lower placement part C2 may be attached to the housing 11 so as to be freely pulled out horizontally from the opening of the lid 20 in the open state.

[0059] The item storage unit 10 may be fixed not only to the upper storage space S, but also to a storage space S lower than the upper storage space S. The lid 20 may be formed integrally with the housing 11. In this case, the housing 11 and the lid 20 may be formed to be flexible, and the lid 20 may be made to be freely openable and closable.
