Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the storage cabinets described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, since the L-shaped metal fittings and connecting bars for fixing the floor are arranged so as to protrude into the storage space, there is a problem that the design property is poor and the storage efficiency of the storage space is also reduced. Further, since the L-shaped metal fittings and connecting bars are fixed to the upper surface of the floor, there is also a problem that the floor will fall unless the floor is held by hand until the floor is fixed to the back plate and a pair of side plates with the L-shaped metal fittings and connecting bars.

[0005] In contrast, Patent Document 3 describes a storage cabinet in which a connecting member is fitted into fitting holes formed at both ends of the longitudinal direction of the base plate, and a pin attached to a pair of side plates is inserted into this connecting member to connect the connecting member and the pin, thereby fixing the base plate to the pair of side plates. In the storage cabinet described in Patent Document 3, the pin and connecting member for fixing the base plate are embedded in the pair of side plates and the base plate. Therefore, compared to the storage cabinets described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the design is improved, as is the volume efficiency of the storage space. In addition, since the base plate is temporarily placed on the pin by inserting it into the connecting member, the base plate is prevented from falling even if it is not held down by hand.

[0006] However, in the storage cabinet described in Patent Document 3, since connecting members are fitted into both the front and rear ends of the base plate, there is a problem in that the aesthetic appearance of the base plate when viewed from below is reduced. In particular, in storage cabinets installed on walls, the base plate is visible from below, so the aesthetic appearance of the base plate when viewed from below is important.

[0007] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a storage cabinet that can improve the aesthetic appearance of the floorboard when viewed from below while suppressing the floorboard from falling during construction. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] [1] The storage cabinet according to the present invention is a storage cabinet installed on a wall, comprising: a pair of side plates; a base plate disposed between the pair of side plates and connected to the pair of side plates; a pair of first rod members projecting inward from the pair of side plates in the direction opposite to the pair of side plates; a pair of second rod members located on the wall side or opposite side of the wall of the pair of first rod members and projecting inward from the pair of side plates in the direction opposite to the pair of side plates; a pair of first fittings fitted into the base plate and into which the pair of first rod members are inserted and connected to the pair of first rod members; a pair of second fittings fitted into the base plate and into which the pair of second rod members are inserted and connected to the pair of second rod members, wherein the pair of first fittings are located on the lower side of the base plate and the pair of second fittings are located on the upper side of the base plate.

[0009] In this storage cabinet, a pair of first fittings are positioned on the underside of the base plate, and a pair of second fittings are positioned on the upper side of the base plate. Therefore, by rotating the base plate so that the pair of first fittings face the pair of first rod members from above and the pair of second fittings face the pair of second rod members from below, the pair of first rod members can be inserted into the pair of first fittings, and the pair of second rod members can be inserted into the pair of second fittings. Then, by connecting the pair of first rod members to the pair of first fittings, and the pair of second rod members to the pair of second fittings, the base plate can be connected to the pair of side plates.

[0010] Furthermore, no pair of second fittings are positioned on the underside of the base plate. As a result, the number of fittings visible from below is reduced compared to the case where both a pair of first fittings and a pair of second fittings are positioned on the underside of the base plate. This improves the aesthetic appearance of the base plate when viewed from below. On the other hand, a pair of first fittings are positioned on the underside of the base plate. As a result, by inserting a pair of first rod members into a pair of first fittings, the pair of first fittings catches on the pair of rod members, and the base plate is temporarily placed on the first fittings. Therefore, even without holding the base plate by hand, it is possible to prevent the base plate from falling.

[0011] [2] In the storage cabinet described in [1] above, the pair of second rod members may be located on the wall side of the pair of first rod members, and the pair of second fittings may be located on the wall side of the pair of first fittings. In this storage cabinet, the pair of first fittings, which are located on the underside of the base plate, are located on the opposite side (front) of the wall, and the pair of second fittings, which are located on the upper side of the base plate, are located on the wall side (rear). Therefore, even when a back plate is placed between a pair of side plates, the base plate can be rotated without being obstructed by the back plate, allowing the pair of first rod members to be inserted into the pair of first fittings and the pair of second rod members to be inserted into the second fittings.

[0012] [3] The storage cabinet described in [1] or [2] above may further include a back panel positioned between a pair of side panels. By positioning the back panel between the pair of side panels in this storage cabinet, the aesthetic design of the storage cabinet can be improved, and the storage items can be prevented from falling from the wall side. Moreover, if the pair of first fittings positioned on the underside of the base plate are located on the opposite side of the wall (front) and the pair of second fittings positioned on the upper side of the base plate are located on the wall side (rear), the base plate can be rotated without being obstructed by the back panel, allowing the pair of first fittings to face the pair of first rod members from above and the pair of second fittings to face the pair of second rod members from below.

[0013] [4] The cabinet described in [3] above may further include a batten erected on the base and positioned on the wall side of the back panel. In this storage cabinet, since the batten positioned on the wall side of the back panel is erected on the base panel, the batten can be inserted into the gap between the back panel and the wall when connecting the base panel to a pair of side panels. Moreover, a pair of first fittings positioned on the underside of the base panel are located on the opposite side of the wall (front), and a pair of second fittings positioned on the upper side of the base panel are located on the wall side (rear). Therefore, by rotating the base panel so that the pair of first fittings face the pair of first rod members from above and the pair of second fittings face the pair of second rod members from below, the batten can be inserted into the gap between the back panel and the wall.

[0014] [5] In the storage cabinet described in [4] above, the back panel may be fixed to the wall via a batten. In this storage cabinet, the strength of the back panel's fixation to the wall can be increased because the back panel is fixed to the wall via a batten. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] According to the present invention, it is possible to improve the aesthetic appearance of the floorboard when viewed from below while suppressing the collapse of the floorboard during construction. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

Mode for Carrying out the Invention

[0017] Hereinafter, the storage cabinet of the embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In all the drawings, the same or corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations are omitted.

[0018] Figure 1 is a perspective view from above of the storage cabinet according to this embodiment installed on a wall. Figure 2 is a perspective view from below of the storage cabinet according to this embodiment installed on a wall. Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in Figure 1. Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV in Figure 1. As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the storage cabinet 1 according to this embodiment is installed on the wall 3 in a position that is floating above the floor 2. In other words, the storage cabinet 1 is suspended from the wall 3. For this reason, the storage cabinet 1 is also called a suspended storage unit or wall-mounted storage unit. In the following description, the front-to-back, left-to-right, and up-and-down directions of the storage cabinet 1 refer to the directions when the storage cabinet 1 is installed on the wall 3. The up-and-down direction is the direction opposite to the floor 2, the front-to-back direction is the direction opposite to the wall 3, and the left-to-right direction is the direction perpendicular to the up-and-down and front-to-back directions. Furthermore, the front in the front-to-back direction is called front F, the upper part in the up-and-down direction is called upper U, and the right side in the left-to-right direction is called right R.

[0019] The storage cabinet 1 comprises an upper crossbar 11, a top panel 12, a first side panel 13, a second side panel 14, a bottom panel 15, a back panel 16, and a lower crossbar 17.

[0020] The upper rail 11 is a component for fixing the storage cabinet 1 to the wall 3. The upper rail 11 is formed in the shape of an elongated rectangular plate. The upper rail 11 is positioned to extend in the left-right direction and is fixed to the wall 3. The upper rail 11 can be fixed to the wall 3, for example, by screwing it in.

[0021] Figure 5(a) is a perspective view of the top panel seen from above, and Figure 5(b) is a perspective view of the top panel seen from below. As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the top panel 12 is a component positioned above the storage space 4 of the storage cabinet 1. The storage space 4 is the space enclosed by the top panel 12, the first side panel 13, the second side panel 14, the bottom panel 15, and the back panel 16. The top panel 12 is formed in a rectangular shape. The top panel 12 extends in the left-right direction and also extends forward F from the wall 3, and is fixed to the upper rail 11 while resting on it. The top panel 12 can be fixed to the upper rail 11 by means of screws, adhesive, etc.

[0022] Figure 6(a) is a perspective view showing the first side panel. As shown in Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 6(a), the first side panel 13 is a component located on the left side (one side) of the storage space 4 of the storage cabinet 1. The first side panel 13 is formed in a rectangular shape. The first side panel 13 is connected to the top panel 12 on the left side of the top panel 12, extending vertically and forward F from the wall 3. More specifically, the first side panel 13 is connected to the top panel 12 such that the inner surface 13a of the first side panel 13 on the side of the second side panel 14 abuts against the left end surface 12a of the top panel 12. Therefore, the first side panel 13 is indirectly supported (held) by the wall 3 via the upper crossbar 11 and the top panel 12. The connection of the first side panel 13 to the top panel 12 is made by using fittings such as knockdown fittings (for example, Hafele's Raffix 20). The connection structure and method of the first side plate 13 to the top plate 12 will be described later.

[0023] Figure 6(b) is a perspective view showing the second side panel. As shown in Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 6(b), the second side panel 14 is a component located on the right side (the other side) of the storage space 4 of the storage cabinet 1. The second side panel 14 is formed in a rectangular plate shape. The second side panel 14 is connected to the top panel 12 on the right side of the top panel 12, extending vertically and forward F from the wall 3. More specifically, the second side panel 14 is connected to the top panel 12 such that the inner surface 14a of the second side panel 14 on the side of the first side panel 13 abuts against the right end surface 12b of the top panel 12. Therefore, the first side panel 13 is indirectly supported (held) by the wall 3 via the upper crossbar 11 and the top panel 12. The connection of the second side panel 14 to the top panel 12 is made by using fittings such as knockdown fittings (for example, Hafele's Raffix 20). The connection structure and method of the second side plate 14 to the top plate 12 will be described later.

[0024] Figure 7(a) is a perspective view of the base plate and bottom rail viewed from above, and Figure 7(b) is a perspective view of the base plate and bottom rail viewed from below. As shown in Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 7, the base plate 15 is a component positioned below the storage space 4 of the storage cabinet 1. The base plate 15 is formed in the shape of a rectangular plate. The base plate 15 is positioned between the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14, and is connected to the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 so as to extend in the left-right direction and forward F from the wall 3. More specifically, the base plate 15 is connected to the first side plate 13 with its left end face 15a in contact with the inner surface 13a of the first side plate 13, and the base plate 15 is connected to the second side plate 14 with its right end face 15b in contact with the inner surface 14a of the second side plate 14. The base plate 15 is connected to the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 by fitting metal fittings such as knockdown fittings (for example, Hafele's Raffix 20). The connection structure and method of the base plate 15 to the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 will be described later.

[0025] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the back panel 16 is a component positioned at the rear of the storage space 4 of the storage cabinet 1. The back panel 16 is formed in the shape of a rectangular plate. The back panel 16 is fitted into the top plate 12, the first side plate 13, the second side plate 14, and the bottom plate 15, at a position spaced apart from the wall 3, extending horizontally from the first side plate 13 to the second side plate 14, and vertically from the top plate 12 to the bottom plate 15. More specifically, as shown in Figures 1 to 7, a groove 12d extending horizontally is formed on the lower surface 12c of the top plate 12 on the bottom plate 15 side. Also, a groove 13b extending vertically is formed on the inner surface 13a of the first side plate 13. Also, a groove 14b extending vertically is formed on the inner surface 14a of the second side plate 14. Also, a groove 15d extending horizontally is formed on the upper surface 15c of the bottom plate 15 on the top plate 12 side. The four sides of the back panel 16 are fitted into grooves 12d in the top panel 12, grooves 13b in the first side panel 13, grooves 14b in the second side panel 14, and grooves 15d in the bottom panel 15.

[0026] As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 7, the lower rail 17 is positioned in the gap between the back panel 16 and the wall 3 and is a member for fixing the back panel 16 to the wall 3. The lower rail 17 is formed in the shape of an elongated rectangular plate. The lower rail 17 extends in the left-right direction and is fixed to the floor panel 15 so as to extend upward U from the rear end 15e of the floor panel 15 on the wall 3 side. In other words, the lower rail 17 is erected on the floor panel 15 so as to form an L shape together with the floor panel 15. More specifically, the lower rail 17 is fixed to the floor panel 15 with its lower end surface in contact with the upper surface 15c of the rear end 15e of the floor panel 15. The lower rail 17 can be fixed to the floor panel 15 by means of screws, adhesive, etc. Furthermore, the lower rail 17 is fixed to the wall 3 together with the back panel 16. In other words, the back panel 16 is fixed to the wall 3 via the lower rail 17. The lower batten 17 can be fixed to the wall 3, for example, by screwing it in.

[0027] Next, the connection structure of the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 to the top plate 12, and the connection structure of the bottom plate 15 to the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 will be described.

[0028] As shown in Figures 6(a) and 6(b), the left first rod member 21 and the left second rod member 22 for the top plate are attached to the upper end 13c of the first side plate 13, and the right first rod member 23 and the right second rod member 24 for the top plate are attached to the upper end 14c of the second side plate 14. The left first rod member 21 and the left second rod member 22 for the top plate are members that protrude inward from the first side plate 13 in the direction of opposition between the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14. In other words, the left first rod member 21 and the left second rod member 22 for the top plate protrude from the inner surface 13a of the first side plate 13 toward the second side plate 14. The right first rod member 23 and the right second rod member 24 for the top plate are members that protrude inward from the second side plate 14 in the direction of opposition between the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14. In other words, the right first rod member 23 for the top plate and the right second rod member 24 for the top plate protrude from the inner surface 14a of the second side plate 14 toward the first side plate 13.

[0029] Furthermore, the lower end portion 13d of the first side plate 13 is fitted with the left first rod member 25 and the left second rod member 26 for the base plate, and the lower end portion 14d of the second side plate 14 is fitted with the right first rod member 27 and the right second rod member 28 for the base plate. The left first rod member 25 and the left second rod member 26 for the base plate are members that protrude inward from the first side plate 13 in the direction opposite to the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14. In other words, the left first rod member 25 and the left second rod member 26 for the base plate protrude from the inner surface 13a of the first side plate 13 toward the second side plate 14. The right first rod member 27 and the right second rod member 28 for the base plate are members that protrude inward from the second side plate 14 in the direction opposite to the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14. In other words, the right first rod member 27 for the base plate and the right second rod member 28 for the base plate protrude from the inner surface 14a of the second side plate 14 toward the first side plate 13.

[0030] The left first rod member 21 for the top plate, the left second rod member 22 for the top plate, the right first rod member 23 for the top plate, the right second rod member 24 for the top plate, the left first rod member 25 for the base plate, the left second rod member 26 for the base plate, the right first rod member 27 for the base plate, and the right second rod member 28 for the base plate have the same configuration as each other, and therefore, unless otherwise specified, they will be described together as rod member 20.

[0031] As shown in Figures 5(a) and 5(b), the top plate 12 has a left first fitting alloy fitting 31 for the top plate that connects to the left first rod member 21 for the top plate, a left second fitting alloy fitting 32 for the top plate that connects to the left second rod member 22 for the top plate, a right first fitting alloy fitting 33 for the top plate that connects to the right first rod member 23 for the top plate, and a right second fitting alloy fitting 34 for the top plate that connects to the right second rod member 24 for the top plate fitted into it. As shown in Figures 7(a) and 7(b), the base plate 15 has a left first fitting alloy fitting 35 for the base plate that connects to the left first rod member 25 for the base plate, a left second fitting alloy fitting 36 for the base plate that connects to the left second rod member 26 for the base plate, a right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base plate that connects to the right first rod member 27 for the base plate, and a right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the base plate that connects to the right second rod member 28 for the base plate fitted into it.

[0032] The left first fitting alloy fitting 31 for the top plate, the left second fitting alloy fitting 32 for the top plate, the right first fitting alloy fitting 33 for the top plate, the right second fitting alloy fitting 34 for the top plate, the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 for the base plate, the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 for the base plate, the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base plate, and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the base plate have the same configuration as each other, and therefore, unless otherwise specified, they will be described together as fitting alloy fitting 30.

[0033] Figure 8(a) is a plan view showing the fitting, and Figure 8(b) is a perspective view showing the state in which a rod member is inserted into the fitting. As shown in Figures 8(a) and 8(b), the rod member 20 is a member formed in the shape of a rod, with an enlarged head 20a formed at its tip. The fitting 30 is a member into which the rod member 20 is inserted and connected to the rod member 20. The fitting 30 has a case 30a having an internal space into which the tip of the rod member 20 is inserted, and a tightening member 30b positioned in the internal space of the case 30a to tighten the head 20a of the rod member 20. The case 30a has an insertion opening 30c formed in the internal space for inserting the tip of the rod member 20. The tightening member 30b can be rotated with a tool such as a screwdriver to tighten the head 20a inserted into the internal space. For example, the fitting alloy 30 can be a Hafele Raffix 20, and for example, the rod member 20 can be a Hafele Raffix 20 casing pin bolt.

[0034] As shown in Figure 6(a), the left first rod member 21 for the top plate is located in front F (opposite side of wall 3) of the left second rod member 22 for the top plate at the upper end 13c of the first side plate 13, and the left second rod member 22 for the top plate is located behind (towards wall 3) of the left first rod member 21 for the top plate at the upper end 13c of the first side plate 13. As shown in Figure 6(b), the right first rod member 23 for the top plate is located in front F (opposite side of wall 3) of the right second rod member 24 for the top plate at the upper end 14c of the second side plate 14, and the right second rod member 24 for the top plate is located behind (towards wall 3) of the right first rod member 23 for the top plate at the upper end 14c of the second side plate 14.

[0035] As shown in Figures 5(a) and 5(b), the left first fitting alloy fitting 31 for the top plate is positioned to correspond to the left first rod member 21 for the top plate, and the left second fitting alloy fitting 32 for the top plate is positioned to correspond to the left second rod member 22 for the top plate. In other words, the left first fitting alloy fitting 31 for the top plate is located in front F (opposite side of wall 3) of the left second fitting alloy fitting 32 for the top plate at the left end 12e on the first side plate 13 side of the top plate 12, and the left second fitting alloy fitting 32 for the top plate is located behind (towards wall 3) of the left first fitting alloy fitting 31 for the top plate at the left end 12e of the top plate 12. The right first fitting alloy fitting 33 for the top plate is positioned to correspond to the right first rod member 23 for the top plate, and the right second fitting alloy fitting 34 for the top plate is located to correspond to the right second rod member 24 for the top plate. In other words, the right first fitting alloy fitting 33 for the top plate is located in front of the right second fitting alloy fitting 34 for the top plate at the right end 12f of the top plate 12 on the second side plate 14 side (opposite side from the wall 3), and the right second fitting alloy fitting 34 for the top plate is located behind the right first fitting alloy fitting 33 for the top plate at the right end 12f of the top plate 12 (towards the wall 3).

[0036] The left first fitting alloy fitting 31 for the top plate, the left second fitting alloy fitting 32 for the top plate, the right first fitting alloy fitting 33 for the top plate, and the right second fitting alloy fitting 34 for the top plate are all positioned on the lower surface 12c side of the top plate 12, with the insertion opening 30c open on the lower surface 12c side of the top plate 12.

[0037] The left first rod member 21 for the top plate and the left first fitting alloy fitting 31 for the top plate are connected by inserting the left first rod member 21 for the top plate into the insertion opening 30c of the left first fitting alloy fitting 31 for the top plate from the lower surface 12c side of the top plate 12, and tightening the head 20a of the left first rod member 21 for the top plate with the tightening member 30b of the left first fitting alloy fitting 31. The left second rod member 22 for the top plate and the left second fitting alloy fitting 32 for the top plate are connected by inserting the left second rod member 22 for the top plate into the insertion opening 30c of the left second fitting alloy fitting 32 for the top plate from the lower surface 12c side of the top plate 12, and tightening the head 20a of the left second rod member 22 for the top plate with the tightening member 30b of the left second fitting alloy fitting 32 for the top plate. Furthermore, the right first rod member 23 for the top plate and the right first fitting alloy fitting 33 for the top plate are connected to each other by inserting the right first rod member 23 for the top plate into the insertion opening 30c of the right first fitting alloy fitting 33 for the top plate from the lower surface 12c side of the top plate 12, and tightening the head 20a of the right first rod member 23 for the top plate with the tightening member 30b of the right first fitting alloy fitting 33. Furthermore, the right second rod member 24 for the top plate and the right second fitting alloy fitting 34 for the top plate are connected to each other by inserting the right second rod member 24 for the top plate into the insertion opening 30c of the right second fitting alloy fitting 34 for the top plate from the lower surface 12c side of the top plate 12, and tightening the head 20a of the right second rod member 24 for the top plate with the tightening member 30b of the right second fitting alloy fitting 34 for the top plate.

[0038] As shown in Figures 7(a) and 7(b), the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 for the floor plate is positioned to correspond to the left first rod member 25 for the floor plate, and the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 for the floor plate is positioned to correspond to the left second rod member 26 for the floor plate. In other words, the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 for the floor plate is located in front F (opposite side of the wall 3) of the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 for the floor plate at the left end 15f on the first side plate 13 side of the floor plate 15, and the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 for the floor plate is located behind the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 for the floor plate at the left end 15f of the floor plate 15 (towards the wall 3). The right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the floor plate is positioned to correspond to the right first rod member 27 for the floor plate, and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the floor plate is positioned to correspond to the right second rod member 28 for the floor plate. In other words, the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base plate is located in front of the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the base plate 38 at the right end 15g of the base plate 15 on the second side plate 14 side (opposite side from the wall 3), and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the base plate is located behind the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base plate 15 at the right end 15g of the base plate 15 (towards the wall 3).

[0039] The left first fitting alloy fitting 35 and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base plate are positioned on the lower surface 15h side of the base plate 15, with their insertion openings 30c open on the lower surface 15h side of the base plate 15. On the other hand, the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the base plate are positioned on the upper surface 15c side of the base plate 15, with their insertion openings 30c open on the upper surface 15c side of the base plate 15. In other words, the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base plate and the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the base plate are positioned on the opposite side of the base plate 15, with their insertion openings 30c also open on the opposite side of the base plate 15.

[0040] The left first rod member 25 for the base plate and the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 for the base plate are connected by inserting the left first rod member 25 for the base plate into the insertion opening 30c of the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 for the base plate from the lower surface 15h side of the base plate 15, and tightening the head 20a of the left first rod member 25 for the base plate with the tightening member 30b of the left first fitting alloy fitting 35. On the other hand, the left second rod member 26 for the base plate and the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 for the base plate are connected by inserting the left second rod member 26 for the base plate into the insertion opening 30c of the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 for the base plate from the upper surface 15c side of the base plate 15, and tightening the head 20a of the left second rod member 26 for the base plate with the tightening member 30b of the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 for the base plate. Furthermore, the right first rod member 27 for the base plate and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base plate are connected to each other by inserting the right first rod member 27 for the base plate into the insertion opening 30c of the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 from the lower surface 15h side of the base plate 15, and tightening the head 20a of the right first rod member 27 for the base plate with the tightening member 30b of the right first fitting alloy fitting 37. On the other hand, the right second rod member 28 for the base plate and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the base plate are connected to each other by inserting the right second rod member 28 for the base plate into the insertion opening 30c of the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 from the upper surface 15c side of the base plate 15, and tightening the head 20a of the right second rod member 28 for the base plate with the tightening member 30b of the right second fitting alloy fitting 38.

[0041] Next, the installation method of storage cabinet 1 will be explained, referring to Figures 9 to 11. Figures 9 to 11 are front views illustrating the installation method of the storage cabinet.

[0042] First, as shown in Figure 9, the upper rail 11 is fixed to the wall 3, the top plate 12 is fixed to the upper rail 11, and the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 are connected to the top plate 12. Alternatively, the top rail 11 may be fixed to the wall 3 after the top plate 12 has been fixed to the upper rail 11 and the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 have been connected to the top plate 12.

[0043] Here, with reference to Figures 5, 6(a), and 6(b), the method of connecting the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 to the top plate 12 will be explained in detail.

[0044] As shown in Figures 5, 6(a), and 6(b), the connection of the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 to the top plate 12 is first made by inserting the left first rod member 21, left second rod member 22, right first rod member 23, and right second rod member 24 for the top plate into the respective insertion openings 30c of the left first fitting alloy fitting 31, left second fitting alloy fitting 32, right first fitting alloy fitting 33, and right second fitting alloy fitting 34 for the top plate, respectively, from the lower surface 12c side of the top plate 12. Then, the fastening members 30b of the left first fitting alloy fitting 31 for the top plate, the left second fitting alloy fitting 32 for the top plate, the right first fitting alloy fitting 33 for the top plate, and the right second fitting alloy fitting 34 for the top plate fasten the heads 20a of the left first rod member 21 for the top plate, the left second rod member 22 for the top plate, the right first rod member 23 for the top plate, and the right second rod member 24 for the top plate. As a result, the left first rod member 21 for the top plate, the left second rod member 22 for the top plate, the right first rod member 23 for the top plate, and the right second rod member 24 for the top plate are connected to the left first fitting alloy fitting 31 for the top plate, the left second fitting alloy fitting 32 for the top plate, the right first fitting alloy fitting 33 for the top plate, and the right second fitting alloy fitting 34 for the top plate, thereby connecting the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 to the top plate 12.

[0045] Next, as shown in Figures 10, 5, 6(a), and 6(b), the back panel 16 is attached to the first side panel 13, the second side panel 14, and the top panel 12 by fitting the back panel 16 into the groove 13b of the first side panel 13, the groove 14b of the second side panel 14, and the groove 12d of the top panel 12.

[0046] Next, as shown in Figures 11, 7(a), and 7(b), the base plate 15 is connected to the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14, and the back plate 16 is fitted into the base plate 15. Then, the back plate 16 is fixed to the wall 3 via the lower crossbar 17. This installs the storage cabinet 1 on the wall 3.

[0047] Here, with reference to Figures 12 and 13, the method of connecting the base plate 15 to the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 will be explained in detail. Figures 12 and 13 are partial cross-sectional views illustrating the method of connecting the base plate to a pair of side plates.

[0048] As shown in Figures 12, 6(a), 6(b), 7(a), and 7(b), the connection of the base plate 15 to the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 is as follows: First, the base plate 15 is inserted from above into the gap between the left first base plate member 25 and the right first base plate member 27 and the left second base plate member 26 and the right second base plate member 28. Then, the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 are placed above the left first base plate member 25 and the right first base plate member 27, the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 are placed below the left second base plate member 26 and the right second base plate member 28, and the bottom rail 17 is placed below the gap between the back plate 16 and the wall 3. At this time, a part of the bottom rail 17 may be inserted into the gap between the back plate 16 and the wall 3.

[0049] Next, as shown in Figures 13, 6(a), 6(b), 7(a), and 7(b), the base plate 15 is rotated and the left first base plate member 25 and the right first base plate member 27 are inserted into the insertion openings 30c of the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 from the lower surface 15h side of the base plate 15, and the left second base plate member 26 and the right second base plate member 28 are inserted into the insertion openings 30c of the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 from the upper surface 15c side of the base plate 15, and the lower crossbar 17 is inserted into the gap between the back plate 16 and the wall 3.

[0050] Next, the heads 20a of the left first rod member 25, left second rod member 26, right first rod member 27, and right second rod member 28 for the floor are tightened with the fastening members 30b of the left first fitting alloy fitting 35, left second fitting alloy fitting 36, right first fitting alloy fitting 37, and right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the floor. As a result, the left first rod member 25, left second rod member 26, right first rod member 27, and right second rod member 28 for the floor are connected to the left first fitting alloy fitting 35, left second fitting alloy fitting 36, right first fitting alloy fitting 37, and right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the floor, and the floor 15 is connected to the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14.

[0051] As described above, in the storage cabinet 1 according to this embodiment, the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 for the base plate and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base plate are arranged on the lower surface 15h side of the base plate 15, and the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 for the base plate and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the base plate are arranged on the upper surface 15c side of the base plate 15. Therefore, by rotating the base plate 15 so that the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base plate move towards the left first rod member 25 and the right first rod member 27 for the base plate from above, and the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the base plate move towards the left second rod member 26 and the right second rod member 28 for the base plate from below, the left first rod member 25 and the right first rod member 27 for the base plate can be inserted into the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base plate, and the left second rod member 26 and the right second rod member 28 for the base plate can be inserted into the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the base plate. Then, by connecting the left first rod member 25 and the right first rod member 27 for the base plate to the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base plate, and by connecting the left second rod member 26 and the right second rod member 28 for the base plate to the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the base plate, the base plate 15 can be connected to the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14.

[0052] Furthermore, the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the base plate are not positioned on the lower surface 15h side of the base plate 15. As a result, the number of fitting alloy fittings 30 visible from below is reduced compared to the case where both the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base plate and the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the base plate are positioned on the lower surface 15h side of the base plate 15. This improves the aesthetic appearance of the base plate 15 when viewed from below. On the other hand, the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base plate are positioned on the lower surface 15h side of the base plate 15. Therefore, by inserting the left first rod member 25 and the right first rod member 27 for the base plate into the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base plate, the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base plate catch on the left first rod member 25 and the right first rod member 27 for the base plate, and the base plate 15 is temporarily placed on the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base plate. As a result, the base plate 15 can be prevented from falling even without holding it down by hand.

[0053] Furthermore, the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the floor plate, which are positioned on the lower surface 15h side of the floor plate 15, are located on the opposite side (front F) of the wall 3, while the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the floor plate, which are positioned on the upper surface 15c side of the floor plate 15, are located on the wall 3 side (rear). Therefore, even when the back plate 16 is positioned between the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14, the floor plate 15 can be rotated without being obstructed by the back plate 16, allowing the left first rod member 25 and the right first rod member 27 for the floor plate to be inserted into the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the floor plate, and the left second rod member 26 and the right second rod member 28 for the floor plate to be inserted into the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the floor plate.

[0054] Furthermore, by positioning the back panel 16 between the first side panel 13 and the second side panel 14, the aesthetic design of the storage cabinet 1 can be improved, and the storage items can be prevented from falling from the wall 3 side. Moreover, the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base panel, which are located on the lower surface 15h side of the base panel 15, are located on the opposite side of the wall 3 (front F), while the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the base panel, which are located on the upper surface 15c side of the base panel 15, are located on the wall 3 side (rear). Therefore, the base plate 15 can be rotated without being obstructed by the back plate 16, so that the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base plate are directed from above toward the left first rod member 25 and the right first rod member 27 for the base plate, and the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the base plate are directed from below toward the left second rod member 26 and the right second rod member 28 for the base plate.

[0055] Furthermore, since the lower crossbar 17, which is positioned on the wall 3 side of the back plate 16, is erected on the base plate 15, the crossbar can be inserted into the gap between the back plate 16 and the wall 3 when connecting the base plate 15 to the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14. Moreover, the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the base plate, which are positioned on the lower surface 15h side of the base plate 15, are located on the opposite side (front F) of the wall 3, while the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the base plate, which are positioned on the upper surface 15c side of the base plate 15, are located on the wall 3 side (rear). Therefore, by rotating the floorboard 15 so that the left first fitting alloy fitting 35 and the right first fitting alloy fitting 37 for the floorboard move towards the left first rod member 25 and the right first rod member 27 for the floorboard from above, and the left second fitting alloy fitting 36 and the right second fitting alloy fitting 38 for the floorboard move towards the left second rod member 26 and the right second rod member 28 for the floorboard from below, the lower crossbar 17 can be inserted into the gap between the backboard 16 and the wall 3.

[0056] Furthermore, since the back panel 16 is fixed to the wall 3 via the lower rail 17, the fixing strength of the back panel 16 to the wall 3 can be increased.

[0057] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be modified as appropriate.

[0058] For example, in the above embodiment, it was described that a pair of first fittings arranged on the lower surface of the floorboard are located on the opposite side (front) of the wall, and a pair of second fittings arranged on the upper surface of the floorboard are located on the wall side (rear). However, it is also possible that a pair of first fittings arranged on the lower surface of the floorboard are located on the wall side (rear), and a pair of second fittings arranged on the upper surface of the floorboard are located on the opposite side (front) of the wall.

[0059] Furthermore, although the above embodiment was described as having the back panel fixed to the wall via a batten (lower batten), the back panel may not be fixed to the wall.

[0060] Furthermore, although the above embodiment was described as having a back panel and battens (lower battens), it is also possible to omit the back panel and battens (lower battens). Also, the top panel may have battens erected on it that are fixed to the wall, similar to the bottom panel.

[0061] Furthermore, although the above embodiment was described as the pair of side panels being supported by the wall via the upper rail and top panel, the fixing structure of the storage cabinet to the wall is not particularly limited. For example, the pair of side panels may be directly fixed to the wall, or the pair of side panels may be fixed to the wall via other members. [Explanation of Symbols]
