Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] However, in the above storage structure, since the front-rear length of the partition wall portion that partitions the space inside the closet left and right is approximately the same as the depth of the closet, it is difficult for light to reach the rear shelf, it is difficult to see the items on the shelf board, and it is difficult to find the target item.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and its object is to provide a storage structure that can effectively utilize the storage space without waste and makes it easy to find stored items.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, the storage space is partitioned in the left - right direction by a partition plate, a shelf board is installed in the rear (inner) region which is a part of a part of the region partitioned between the partition plate of the storage space and the opposing wall, and a hanger pipe is installed in the front (near - side) region which is a part of a part of the above - mentioned part of the region, and the front - rear length of the partition plate is made shorter than before.

[0009] Specifically, the first invention is premised on a storage structure provided in a storage space surrounded by at least a left - hand wall, a right - hand wall, and a rear - hand wall on three sides.

[0010] And the first invention includes a partition plate that extends in the front - rear direction and the up - down direction and is provided so that the rear end surface abuts or is close to the above - mentioned rear - hand wall to partition the above - mentioned storage space in the left - right direction, an opposing wall that opposes the above - mentioned partition plate, a shelf board whose front - rear length is shorter than the front - rear length of the above - mentioned partition plate and is installed so that the rear end surface abuts or is close to the rear - hand wall or a mounting member fixed to the rear - hand wall between the above - mentioned partition plate and the above - mentioned opposing wall, and a hanger pipe installed in front of the above - mentioned shelf board between the above - mentioned partition plate and the above - mentioned opposing wall, and the front - rear length of the above - mentioned partition plate is 3 / 4 or less of the front - rear length of the above - mentioned storage space.

[0011] Here, "the rear end surface is close to the rear - hand wall or the mounting member" means a state where the gap (interval) between the rear end surface and the rear - hand wall or the mounting member is less than 5 mm.

[0012] In the first invention, the storage space is partitioned into left and right by a partition board, a shelf board is installed in the rear area which is a part of a part of the area partitioned between the partition board of the storage space and the opposing wall, and a hanger pipe is installed in the front area which is a part of a part of the storage space. With such a configuration, in a part of the storage space partitioned by the partition board, the rear area can be used as an article placement and storage area, and the front area can be used as an article hanging and storage area. That is, according to the first invention, the storage space can be effectively utilized without waste.

[0013] Also, in the first invention, the partition board that partitions the storage space in the left-right direction is formed with a front-rear length that is 3 / 4 or less of the front-rear length of the storage space. Therefore, even if the storage space is a dark closet or the like, since light can pass in front of the partition board, it is easy for the light to reach the shelf board in the rear area, and the visibility is improved. Therefore, according to the first invention, a storage structure that makes it easy to find stored articles can be provided.

[0014] The second invention further includes a storage case with casters attached to the lower surface in the first invention. The storage case is formed with a left-right length shorter than the distance between the partition board and the opposing wall, and a front-rear length shorter than the distance between the front end of the shelf board and the front end of the storage space, and is installed between the partition board and the opposing wall in the storage space, below the hanger pipe and in front of the shelf board.

[0015] In the second invention, a storage case with casters is provided below the hanger pipe in the hanging and storage area in front of the shelf board. Since it is a storage case with casters, it can be easily moved when taking articles in and out of the shelf board. Therefore, according to the second invention, the area in front of the shelf board and below the hanger pipe can be effectively used as a storage area without making it difficult to take articles in and out of the shelf board.

[0016] The third invention, in the first or second invention, further comprises a plurality of shelf receiving members that support the shelf board, and a plurality of shelf columns that extend in the vertical direction and have a plurality of attachment portions to which the shelf receiving members are detachably attached, and the plurality of attachment portions are formed so as to be arranged in the vertical direction. The plurality of shelf columns are attached so as to form pairs at three or more corresponding positions on the opposing surfaces of the partition plate and the opposing wall.

[0017] In the third invention, the shelf columns to which the shelf receiving members are detachably attached are attached so as to form pairs at three or more corresponding positions on the opposing surfaces of the partition plate and the opposing wall. Therefore, it can be easily replaced with shelf boards having different front-to-back lengths.

[0018] The fourth invention, in the third invention, further comprises two pipe support members that support the ends of the hanger pipe. The attachment portion is an attachment hole formed in the shelf column. The two pipe support members are respectively attached to the partition plate and the opposing wall with screws inserted through two opposing attachment holes formed in the two shelf columns that form a pair at the frontmost side among the plurality of shelf columns.

[0019] In the fourth invention, the two pipe support members are respectively fixed to the partition plate and the opposing wall with screws inserted through two opposing attachment holes formed in the two shelf columns that form a pair at the frontmost side. With such a configuration, the attachment positions of the two pipe support members can be easily aligned. Also, since shelf receiving members can be provided at height positions that do not overlap with the two pipe support members on the two shelf columns that form a pair at the frontmost side, a wide shelf board having a longer length in the front-to-back direction than the shelf board provided in the rear region can be further provided below the hanger pipe. Therefore, according to the fourth invention, the storage space can be utilized more effectively without waste.

[0020] The fifth invention, in any one of the first to fourth inventions, is characterized in that the opposing wall is the left side wall or the right side wall.

[0021] In the fifth invention, the opposing wall facing the partition plate is composed of the left side wall or the right side wall that partitions the side of the storage space. By utilizing the existing side walls, the storage space can be effectively utilized without waste with a small number of parts.

Advantages of the Invention

[0022] As described above, according to the present invention, the storage space is partitioned in the left - right direction by a partition plate, a shelf board is installed in the rear - side region of the space between the partition plate and the opposing wall, and a hanger pipe is installed in the front - side region. Since the front - to - rear length of the partition plate is made shorter than before, an effective storage structure can be provided that can utilize the storage space without waste and makes it easy to find stored items.

[0030] -Detailed Configuration of Each Part of the Storage Structure- [Partition Unit] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the partition unit 20 has a single partition board 21, two top boards 22a and 22b, and one support leg 23. The partition unit 20 is formed such that its front - to - rear length is not more than three - quarters of the front - to - rear length L1 of the storage space S, and is provided at a position closer to the rear of the storage space S.

[0031] The partition board 21 is a rectangular plate - like body in plan view. The material of the partition board 21 is not particularly limited, but in the first embodiment, it is composed of a wooden plate - like body. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the partition board 21 extends in the front - to - rear direction and the up - and - down direction, and is provided so that its rear end face is close to the rear wall 1B to partition the storage space S in the left - right direction. The partition board 21 is formed such that its front - to - rear length L2 (the length from the front end face to the rear end face) is not more than three - quarters of the front - to - rear length L1 of the storage space S. The partition board 21 has a front - to - rear length L2 formed to be 450 - 900 mm.

[0032] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, support legs 23 are attached to the lower end of the front end of the partition plate 21. The support leg 23 has a holding portion 23a for holding the lower end of the partition plate 21 and a leg portion 23b that is continuously provided below the holding portion 23a and is configured to be height-adjustable. The rear end of the partition plate 21 is fixed to the rear side wall 1B by three fixing members 24, 24, 24 made of L-shaped metal fittings.

[0033] The two top plates 22a and 22b are rectangular plate-like bodies. The materials of the two top plates 22a and 22b are not particularly limited, but in the first embodiment, they are composed of wooden plate-like bodies.

[0034] The top plate 22a is spanned between the upper end of the partition plate 21 and the left side wall 1L (opposing wall). The top plate 22b is spanned between the upper end of the partition plate 21 and the right side wall 1R. The top plate 22a has a front-rear length shorter than the front-rear length L2 of the partition plate 21 and is formed to be approximately the same as the front-rear length L3 of the shelf plate 31 of the first shelf unit 30 described later. The top plate 22b is formed to have a front-rear length approximately the same as the front-rear length L2 of the partition plate 21. The top plates 22a and 22b are provided such that their rear end faces are close to the rear side wall 1B.

[0035] The top plate 22a is fixed to the partition plate 21 and the left side wall 1L by two fixing members 25,..., 25 each made of an L-shaped metal fitting. The top plate 22b is fixed to the partition plate 21 and the right side wall 1R by two fixing members 26,..., 26 each made of an L-shaped metal fitting.

[0036] With the above configuration, the partition unit 20 partitions a first storage area A1 between the partition plate 21 and the left side wall 1L (opposing wall), and partitions a second storage area A2 between the partition plate 21 and the right side wall 1R.

[0037] [First Shelf Unit] The first shelf board unit 30 includes eight shelf boards 31,…,31, each of the four (a total of 32) shelf receiving members 32,…,32 that support each shelf board 31, and four shelf columns 33,…,33 to which each shelf receiving member 32 is detachably attached. The first shelf board unit 30 is formed such that its front-to-back length is shorter than the front-to-back length L2 of the partition board 21, and is provided in the area on the rear side of the first storage area A1.

[0038] The shelf board 31 is a plate-like body having a rectangular shape in plan view. As shown in FIG. 4, the shelf board 31 extends in the front-to-back direction and the left-to-right direction, and is provided such that its rear end face is close to the rear side wall 1B. The shelf board 31 is formed such that its front-to-back length L3 (the length from the front end face to the rear end face) is shorter than the front-to-back length L2 of the partition board 21 (see FIG. 5). The front-to-back length L3 of the shelf board 31 is formed to be 200 to 500 mm.

[0039] The material of the shelf board 31 is not particularly limited, but in the first embodiment, it is formed of a wooden plate-like body. Grooves 34, 34 extending from the left end to the right end are formed at the front end portion and the rear end portion of the lower surface of the shelf board 31. The grooves 34, 34 are formed to have a size into which the shelf receiving member 32 fits. Note that the shelf board 31 can also be formed by injection molding resin. [[ID=*]]

[0040] A plurality (eight in the first embodiment) of the shelf boards 31 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction in the area on the rear side of the first storage area A1, forming an article placement and storage area A11 in the area on the rear side of the first storage area A1 where articles can be placed.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 6, the shelf receiving member 32 is formed by bending a metal plate. The shelf receiving member 32 has a main body portion 32a, a support portion 32b, an upper engaging portion 32c, and a lower engaging portion 32d.

[0042] The main body portion 32a is formed in a U shape that bulges in the horizontal direction and fits into the groove 34 of the shelf board 31. The support portion 32b bends downward from one end portion (the lower - positioned end portion) of the main body portion 32a and extends downward along the shelf post 33 when attached to the shelf post 33. The upper engaging portion 32c is formed so as to be continuous with the other end portion (the upper - positioned end portion) of the main body portion 32a. The upper engaging portion 32c is formed in a shape such that it can be inserted into the mounting hole 35 of the shelf post 33 to be described later when the shelf receiving member 32 is tilted obliquely from the mounting posture, and engages with the shelf post 33 and cannot be removed when returned to the mounting posture. The lower engaging portion 32d is formed so as to be continuous with the lower end of the support portion 32b. The lower engaging portion 32d is formed to be insertable into a mounting hole 35 that is one below the mounting hole 35 with which the upper engaging portion 32c of the shelf post 33 engages.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 6, the mounting procedure of the shelf receiving member 32 is as follows: First, tilt the shelf receiving member 32 obliquely from the mounting posture and insert the upper engaging portion 32c into the mounting hole 35 of the shelf post 33 (Step 1). Then, return the inclination of the shelf receiving member 32 and slightly separate the support portion 32b from the shelf post 33 (Step 2). Next, pinch the main body portion 32a so as to narrow the distance between the two opposing sides of the U - shaped main body portion 32a (Step 3), bring the support portion 32b into contact with the shelf post 33, and insert the lower engaging portion 32d into the mounting hole 35 immediately below the mounting hole 35 into which the upper engaging portion 32c is inserted (Step 4). In this way, by inserting the upper engaging portion 32c and the lower engaging portion 32d of the shelf receiving member 32 into the two vertically - aligned mounting holes 35, 35 of the shelf post 33, the shelf receiving member 32 is attached to the shelf post 33.

[0044] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, the shelf post 33 is formed by bending a metal plate into a U-shape. As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of mounting holes 35, …, 35 are formed at equal intervals in the vertical direction in the shelf post 33. As shown in FIG. 6, the mounting hole 35 is formed in a shape in which an I-shaped hole and a circular hole are overlapped. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, two shelf posts 33 are respectively attached to the rear end portion of the facing surface of the shelf post 33 with the left side wall 1L of the partition plate 21 and at a position in the middle in the front-rear direction. Also, on the facing surface of the left side wall 1L with the partition plate 21, shelf boards 31 are respectively attached to two positions facing the two shelf posts 33, 33 attached to the partition plate 21. The shelf post 33 is fixed to the partition plate 21 or the left side wall 1L with screws (not shown).

[0045] In the first shelf board unit 30, shelf receiving members 32 are attached to two mounting holes 35, 35 at the same height position of the four shelf posts 33, and the shelf board 31 is placed so that the four shelf receiving members 32, …, 32 attached at the same height position are fitted into the front and rear grooves 34. In this way, the first shelf board unit 30 is assembled. Also, by the first shelf board unit 30 assembled in this way, the area behind the first storage area A1 becomes the article placement and storage area A11.

[0046] [Hanger Unit] The hanger unit 40 has one hanger pipe 41, two pipe support members 42, 42, and two shelf posts 43, 43.

[0047] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, the hanger pipe 41 is composed of a metal rod-shaped member having an oval cross section. The hanger pipe 41 is provided at the upper part of the area in front of the first storage area A1. Specifically, the hanger pipe 41 is installed between the upper end portion of the partition plate 21 and the facing portion of the left side wall 1L. By installing the hanger pipe 41 in such a position, the area in front of the first storage area A1 becomes the hanging storage area A12.

[0048] The pipe support member 42 has a support portion 44 and a fixing portion 45. The support portion 44 is formed in a U-shaped cross-section into which the end of the hanger pipe 41 fits. The fixing portion 45 is a plate-like piece that closes one end face of the support portion 44, and two insertion holes 45a for inserting screws 46 are formed vertically. The material of the pipe support member 42 is not particularly limited, but in the first embodiment, the pipe support member 42 is made of aluminum. As shown in FIG. 7, the pipe support member 42 is fixed to the partition plate 21 or the left side wall 1L by screwing two screws 46, 46 inserted through the two insertion holes 45a, 45a and the two mounting holes 47, 47 arranged vertically on the shelf post 43 into the partition plate 21 or the left side wall 1L. Note that the pipe support member 42 can also be formed by injection molding resin.

[0049] The shelf post 43 is configured in the same manner as the shelf post 33 of the first shelf board unit 30. Mounting holes 47,..., 47 having the same shape as the mounting hole 35 are formed at equal intervals in the vertical direction on the shelf post 43. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, one of the two shelf posts 43, 43 is attached to the front end portion of the facing surface with the left side wall 1L of the partition plate 21. The other shelf post 43 is attached to a position facing the front end portion of the partition plate 21 on the facing surface with the partition plate 21 of the left side wall 1L. The shelf post 43 is fixed to the partition plate 21 or the left side wall 1L with screws (not shown).

[0050] Note that, as shown in FIG. 7, the hanger unit 40 may include a hook 48. The hook 48 has a J-shaped hook body 48a and an annular support portion 48b that is continuously formed above the hook body 48a and has an insertion hole through which the hanger pipe 41 is inserted. The hook 48 is attached to the hanger pipe 41 slidably in the longitudinal direction of the hanger pipe 41 by inserting the hanger pipe 41 through the insertion hole of the support portion 48b. Note that the hook 48 may have any shape as long as it can be hooked on the hanger pipe 41 to suspend and support an object. For example, the support portion 48b may be formed in an inverted U shape and hooked on the hanger pipe 41 from above.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 7, the assembly procedure of the hanger unit 40 is as follows. First, attach two pipe support members 42, 42 to the same height positions of two shelf pillars 43, 43 facing each other (Step 1). Specifically, position each pipe support member 42 at a position where two insertion holes 45a, 45a overlap with two mounting holes 47, 47 arranged vertically on the shelf pillar 43, insert two screws 46, 46 through the corresponding insertion holes 45a and mounting holes 47, and screw them into the partition plate 21 or the left side wall 1L.

[0052] Next, when the hanger unit 40 is equipped with a hook 48, attach the hook 48 to the hanger pipe 41 (Step 2). Then, detachably attach the hanger pipe 41 to the pipe support members 42, 42 (Step 3). Specifically, fit both ends of the hanger pipe 41 into the U-shaped support portions 44, 44 of the two pipe support members 42, 42 attached to the same height positions of the two shelf pillars 43, 43. In this way, the hanger unit 40 is assembled. Also, with the hanger unit 40 assembled in this manner, the area in front of the first storage area A1 becomes the suspended storage area A12.

[0053] [Storage Case] The storage case 50 has a case 51, three drawers 52, 52, 52, and four casters 53,..., 53.

[0054] The case 51 is constituted by a box-shaped body with an open front surface, and three drawers 52a, 52b, 52c are formed so as to be pullable. On the bottom surface of the case 51, four casters 53 are attached, one at each of the four corner portions. Also, a caster 54 is attached to the center in the width direction of the front end portion of the lower surface of the lowermost drawer 52c among the three drawers 52a, 52b, 52c. Although not shown, the bottom plate of the case 51 is formed with a notch for accommodating the caster 54 so as not to interfere with the caster 54 when the lowermost drawer 52c is inside the case 51.

[0055] The storage case 50 is formed such that its left - right length L4 is shorter than the distance L5 between the partition plate 21 and the left side wall 1L, and its front - rear length L6 is shorter than the distance L7 between the front end of the shelf board 31 of the first shelf board unit 30 and the front end of the storage space S (the rear end of the side upright 4). That is, the storage case 50 is formed to be of a size that can be installed between the partition plate 21 and the left side wall 1L in the storage space S, below the hanger pipe 41, and on the front side of the shelf board 31 of the first shelf board unit 30. The storage case 50 is movably installed in the lower region of the suspended storage area A12.

[0056] [Second Shelf Board Unit] The second shelf board unit 60 includes four shelf boards 61,..., 61, four (a total of sixteen) shelf receiving members 62,..., 62 for supporting each shelf board 61, and four shelf posts 63,..., 63 to which each shelf receiving member 62 is detachably attached. The second shelf board unit 60 is formed to have a front - rear length approximately the same as the front - rear length L2 of the partition plate 21 and is provided in the second storage area A1.

[0057] The shelf board 61 is a plate - like body having a rectangular shape in plan view. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the shelf board 61 extends in the front - rear direction and the left - right direction and is provided such that its rear end face is close to the rear side wall 1B. The shelf board 61 is formed to have a front - rear length L8 (the length from the front end face to the rear end face) approximately the same as the front - rear length L1 of the partition plate 21.

[0058] The material of the shelf board 61 is not particularly limited, but in the first embodiment, it is formed of a wooden plate - like body. Although not shown, at the left and right ends of the lower surface of the shelf board 61, there are attached displacement - preventing members made of plate - like pieces that prevent the displacement of the shelf board 61 by coming into contact with the shelf receiving members 62. Note that the shelf board 61 can also be formed by injection - molding resin.

[0059] A plurality (four in the first embodiment) of the shelf boards 61 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction in the second storage area A2. As a result, the second storage area A2 has become an article placement and storage area where articles can be placed.

[0060] The shelf receiving member 62 is configured in the same manner as the shelf receiving member 32 of the first shelf board unit 30, and has a main body portion 62a, a support portion 62b, an upper engagement portion 62c, and a lower engagement portion 62d.

[0061] The shelf receiving member 62 is attached to the shelf post 63 by inserting the upper engagement portion 62c and the lower engagement portion 62d into two mounting holes 65, 65 arranged vertically on the shelf post 63.

[0062] The shelf post 63 is configured in the same manner as the shelf post 33 of the first shelf board unit 30. A plurality of mounting holes 65,..., 65 are formed at equal intervals in the vertical direction on the shelf post 63. As shown in FIG. 5, two shelf posts 63 are respectively attached to the front end portion and the rear end portion of the opposing surface of the shelf post 63 with the right side wall 1R of the partition plate 21. Also, on the opposing surface of the right side wall 1R with the partition plate 21, one shelf post 63 is attached to each of two positions opposing the two shelf posts 63, 63 attached to the partition plate 21. The shelf post 63 is fixed to the partition plate 21 or the right side wall 1R with screws (not shown).

[0063] In the second shelf board unit 60, the shelf receiving member 62 is attached to two mounting holes 65, 65 at the same height position of the four shelf posts 63, and the shelf board 61 is placed on each of the four shelf receiving members 62,..., 62 attached at the same height position. In this way, the second shelf board unit 60 is assembled. Also, with the second shelf board unit 60 assembled in this way, the second storage area A2 becomes an area for placing and storing articles.

[0064] -Usage example of the storage structure- Next, a usage example of the storage structure 10 will be described.

[0065] [First storage area] In the placement and storage area A11 in the area behind the first storage area A1, clothes, bags, ornaments, etc. can be stored on the eight shelf boards 31,..., 31. When taking in and out the articles on the eight shelf boards 31,..., 31 (especially the shelf board 31 behind the storage case 50), by pulling out the storage case 50 with casters 53 to the front side, it is possible to approach the shelf board 31, so that the articles can be easily taken in and out.

[0066] In the hanging storage area A12 in the area in front of the first storage area A1, clothes, bags, etc. can be hung on the hanger pipe 41 using hooks 48 or hangers (not shown). Also, in the hanging storage area A12, clothes, etc. can be stored inside the three drawers 52, 52, 52 of the storage case 50 provided at the lower part. Further, since the storage case 50 is configured to be movable with casters 53, the installation location can be changed between the hanging storage area A12 and the interior of the living room as necessary.

[0067] Also, in the first embodiment, a pair of shelf columns 43, 43 are also provided in the hanging storage area A12. Therefore, when the storage case 50 is not provided at the lower part of the hanging storage area A12, the shelf board 31 provided at the lower part of the placement and storage area A11 of the first shelf board unit 30 can be changed to a long shelf board with a front-to-back length extending from the rearmost shelf column 33 to the foremost shelf column 43, and shelf receiving members 32, 32 can be attached to the pair of shelf columns 43, 43 and replaced with the long shelf board with a front-to-back length.

[0068] [Second Storage Area] The four shelf boards 61,..., 61 provided in the second storage area A2 (placement and storage area) are longer in the front-to-back length than the eight shelf boards 31,..., 31 provided in the placement and storage area A11, and the interval between the vertically adjacent shelf boards 61, 61 is larger than that of the shelf boards 31, 31. Therefore, in the second storage area A2 (placement and storage area), it is possible to store larger items than the items that can be stored in the placement and storage area A11 on the four shelf boards 61,..., 61. On the four shelf boards 61,..., 61, in addition to clothes, bags, ornaments, etc., household appliances such as bedding and a fan can also be stored.

[0069] -Effects of the First Embodiment- In the storage structure 10 of the first embodiment, the storage space S is partitioned into left and right by the partition plate 21, and a shelf board 31 is installed in the rear area, which is a part of a partial area (the first storage area A1) partitioned between the partition plate 21 of the storage space S and the left side wall 1L (opposite wall), and a hanger pipe 41 is installed in the front area, which is a part of a partial area A1 of the storage space S. With such a configuration, in a partial area A1 of the storage space S partitioned by the partition plate 21, the rear area can be used as an article placement and storage area A11, and the front area can be used as an article hanging and storage area A12. That is, according to the storage structure 10 of the first embodiment, the storage space S can be effectively utilized without waste.

[0070] Also, in the storage structure  10 of the first embodiment, the partition plate 21 that partitions the storage space S in the left - right direction is formed with a front - rear length that is 3 / 4 or less of the front - rear length of the storage space S. Therefore, even if the storage space S is a dark closet or the like, since light can pass in front of the partition plate 21, the light can easily reach the shelf board 31 in the rear area, improving the visibility. Therefore, according to the storage structure 10 of the first embodiment, a storage structure 10 that makes it easy to find stored articles can be provided.

[0071] Also, in the storage structure 10 of the first embodiment, a storage case 50 with casters 53 is provided below the hanger pipe 41 in the hanging storage area A12 in front of the shelf board 31. Because it is a storage case 50 with casters 53, when taking articles in and out of the shelf board 31, it can be easily moved. Therefore, according to the storage structure 10 of the first embodiment, the area in front of the shelf board 31 and below the hanger pipe 41 can be effectively used as a storage area without making it difficult to take articles in and out of the shelf board 31.

[0072] Also, in the storage structure 10 of the first embodiment, shelf columns 33, 43 to which a shelf receiving member 32 can be detachably attached are attached so as to form pairs at three corresponding positions on the opposing surfaces of the partition plate 21 and the left side wall 1L (opposite wall). Therefore, it can be easily replaced with shelf boards 31 having different front - rear lengths.

[0073] Further, in the storage structure 10 of the first embodiment, two pipe support members 42, 42 are fixed to the partition plate 21 and the left side wall 1L respectively by screws 46, 46 inserted into two mounting holes 45, 45 facing each other of two shelf columns 43, 43 that are paired and located at the foremost side. With such a configuration, the mounting positions of the two pipe support members 42, 42 can be easily aligned. Also, since a shelf receiving member 32 can be provided at a height position that does not overlap with the two pipe support members 42, 42 on the two shelf columns 43, 43 that are paired and located at the foremost side, a wide shelf board having a longer length in the front-rear direction than the shelf board 31 provided in the rear region can be further provided below the hanger pipe 41. Therefore, according to the storage structure 10 of the first embodiment, the storage space S can be utilized more effectively without waste.

[0074] Also, in the storage structure 10 of the first embodiment, the opposing wall facing the partition plate 21 is constituted by the left side wall 1L that partitions the side of the storage space S. By using the existing side wall, the storage space S can be utilized effectively without waste with a small number of parts.

[0075] <<Second Embodiment of the Invention>> As shown in FIG. 8, the storage structure 10 of the second embodiment partitions the storage space S into three regions in the left-right direction with two partition plates 21, 21. Hereinafter, only the parts different from the first embodiment will be described in detail, and the detailed description of the same configuration as the first embodiment will be omitted.

[0076] -Schematic Configuration of the Storage Structure- As shown in FIG. 8, also in the second embodiment, the storage space S is surrounded on three sides laterally by the left side wall 1L, the right side wall 1R, and the rear side wall 1B, and three sliding doors 3, 3, 3 are provided in the front opening 2 of the closet 1. The size of the storage space S is the same as that of the first embodiment.

[0077] The storage structure 10 includes a partition unit 20, a first shelf unit 30, a hanger unit 40, a storage case 50, a second shelf unit 60, and a third shelf unit 70. Details will be described later. By the partition unit 20, three storage areas A1 to A3 partitioned left and right are formed inside the storage space S. The first shelf unit 30, the hanger unit 40, and the storage case 50 are provided in the first storage area A1 at the center in the left - right direction. The second shelf unit 60 is provided in the second storage area A2 on the right side, and the third shelf unit 70 is provided in the third storage area A3 on the left side. Also, similar to Embodiment 1, the area on the rear side of the first storage area A1 becomes an article placement and storage area A11 by the first shelf unit 30, and the area on the front side of the first storage area A1 becomes an article hanging and storage area A12 by the hanger unit 40. The storage case 50 is provided below the hanging and storage area A12. The second storage area A2 is an article placement and storage area by the second shelf unit 60. Also, the third storage area A3 is an article placement and storage area by the third shelf unit 70.

[0078] -Detailed Configuration of Each Part of the Storage Structure- [Partition Unit] As shown in FIG. 8, the partition unit 20 has two partition plates 21, 21, three top plates 22a to 22c, and two support legs 23, 23. The partition unit 20 is formed such that its front - to - rear length is equal to or less than three - quarters of the front - to - rear length L1 of the storage space S, and is provided at a position closer to the rear of the storage space S.

[0079] Since the configuration and installation method of the partition plate 21 are the same as those in Embodiment 1, a detailed description is omitted. The two partition plates 21, 21 are installed at positions that approximately trisect the length of the storage space S in the left - right direction.

[0080] Of the three top plates 22a to 22c, two top plates 22a and 22b are configured in the same manner except that their left - right widths are different from those of the top plates 22a and 22b in Embodiment 1. The top plate 22c is configured in the same manner as the top plate 22b. The top plate 22a is spanned between the upper ends of the two partition plates 21, 21. The top plate 22b is spanned between the upper end of the right partition plate 21 and the right side wall 1R. The top plate 22c is spanned between the upper end of the left partition plate 21 and the left side wall 1L.

[0081] With the above - described configuration, the partition unit 20 partitions a first storage area A1 between the two partition plates 21, 21, partitions a second storage area A2 between the right partition plate 21 and the right side wall 1R, and partitions a third storage area A3 between the left partition plate 21 and the left side wall 1L.

[0082] The first shelf - plate unit 30, the hanger unit 40, and the storage case 50 are provided between the two partition plates 21, 21. Compared with the first shelf - plate unit 30 in Embodiment 1, their left - right width is shorter (in Embodiment 1, it is approximately half of the left - right width of the storage space S, while in Embodiment 2, it is approximately one - third of the left - right width of the storage space S). Since the other configurations are the same as those of the first shelf - plate unit 30 in Embodiment 1, detailed description is omitted.

[0083] Also, the second shelf - plate unit 60 is shorter in the left - right direction compared with the second shelf - plate unit 60 in Embodiment 1 (in Embodiment 1, it is approximately half of the left - right width of the storage space S, while in Embodiment 2, it is approximately one - third of the left - right width of the storage space S). Since the other configurations are the same as those of the second shelf - plate unit 60 in Embodiment 1, detailed description is omitted.

[0084] The third shelf - plate unit 70 is formed in a shape that is the left - right inversion of the second shelf - plate unit 60 and is otherwise configured substantially the same.

[0085] The third shelf unit 70 includes four shelf boards 71,…,71, four (a total of 16) shelf receiving members 72,…,72 that support each shelf board 71, and four shelf columns 73,…,73 to which each shelf receiving member 72 is detachably attached. The third shelf unit 70 is formed to have a front-rear length approximately the same as the front-rear length L2 of the partition plate 21 and is provided in the third storage area A3. Since the shelf board 71, the shelf receiving member 72, and the shelf column 73 are configured in the same manner as the shelf board 61, the shelf receiving member 62, and the shelf column 63 of the second shelf unit 60, detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0086] With the configuration as described above, in the storage structure 10 of the second embodiment, the storage space S is partitioned into three regions A1 to A3 in the left-right direction by two partition plates 21, 21, and a third storage region A3 similar to the second storage region A2 is formed on the side opposite to the second storage region A2 in the first storage region A1. Even in such a storage structure 10 of the second embodiment, the same effects as those of the storage structure 10 of the first embodiment can be achieved.

[0087] 《Other Embodiments》 In the above-described first and second embodiments, as an example of the fitting according to the present invention, an example in which the storage structure 10 is provided in the closet 1 has been described. However, the installation location of the storage structure 10 according to the present invention is not limited to a storage space S in which the front opening 2 such as the closet 1 can be closed by the door 3. The storage structure 10 may be installed in a storage space S in which the front opening 2 facing the living room is not closed.

[0088] Also, in the above-described first embodiment, an example in which the opposing wall facing the partition plate according to the present invention is constituted by the existing wall (left side wall 1L) of the closet 1 has been described, but the opposing wall may be one of the plurality of partition plates 21, 21 as in the second embodiment. Specifically, in the first embodiment, another partition plate 21 may be erected along the left side wall L1, and the first storage region A1 may be formed between the two partition plates 21, 21 (the shelf board 31 and the hanger pipe 41 may be installed).

[0089] In addition, in the above-described Embodiments 1 and 2, the storage structure 10 included the storage case 50, the second shelf unit 60, and the third shelf unit 70 (only in Embodiment 2). However, the storage structure 10 according to the present invention may not include the storage case 50, the second shelf unit 60, and the third shelf unit 70.

[0090] In addition, in the above-described Embodiments 1 and 2, the second and third storage areas A2 and A3 adjacent to the first storage area A1 were configured as placement and storage areas for articles with the second and third shelf units 60 and 70 provided therein. However, the second and third storage areas A2 and A3 may be configured as hanging storage areas with hanger pipes provided instead of the shelf boards 61 and 71, or may not have any shelf boards, hanger pipes, etc.

[0091] In addition, in the above-described Embodiments 1 and 2, the partition plates 21 were all provided such that their rear end faces were close to the rear side wall 1B. However, it is sufficient that the rear end face of the partition plate 21 is near the rear side wall 1B, and it may be provided such that the rear end face abuts against the rear side wall 1B. Further, the partition plate 21 may be fixed, for example, with screws so that the rear end face abuts against or is close to a crosspiece (attachment member) extending in the vertical direction and adhesively fixed to the rear side wall 1B.

[0092] Here, "the rear end face is close to the rear side wall 1B or the crosspiece (attachment member)" means a state where the gap (interval) between the rear end face and the rear side wall 1B or the crosspiece (attachment member) is less than 5 mm.

[0093] Similar to the above-described partition plate 21, in the above-described Embodiments 1 and 2, the top plates 22a and 22b and the shelf boards 31, 61, and 71, which were provided such that their rear end faces were close to the rear side wall 1B, only need to have their rear end faces near the rear side wall 1B, and may be provided such that the rear end faces abut against the rear side wall 1B.
