Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a wall-mounted storage stage that is stored upright in a storage compartment recessed in a wall.
Background Art
[0002] Conventionally, the applicant of the present application has used, as a wall-mounted storage stage stored upright in a storage compartment recessed in a wall, upright fixing legs on the floor surface of the storage compartment recessed in the wall, and at the upper part of the fixing legs, the base end portion of a stage body that can be pivoted between a horizontal state and an upright state is pivotally attached. The bottom plate of the stage body that is flush with the wall in the upright state of the stage body is at least partially formed by division at the tip, and becomes a support leg that protrudes at a right angle in the horizontal state of the stage body. The support leg is provided rotatably so as to be flush with the bottom plate in the upright state of the stage body, and a damper is installed between the support leg and an appropriate position on the back surface of the floor board. By the extension and retraction of the rod of the damper, the support leg can be protruded and reset. In the storage state, the support leg of the stage body is flush with the bottom plate and the rod of the damper is in the most retracted state, and in the horizontal state, the support leg of the stage body protrudes at a right angle to the bottom plate and the rod of the damper is in the most extended state. A wall-mounted storage stage has been developed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] However, while the above-mentioned conventional technology can certainly ensure uniformity of the wall surface when stored, there was a slight risk that if a strong impact were to be applied to the support legs, such as when a child sits at the front of the stage and their legs, which do not reach the floor, hit the support legs forcefully, the rod in its fully extended state would retract, causing the support legs to fall backward and the stage to tilt, resulting in accidents such as people or objects falling on the stage or falling off the stage. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] In view of the problem that the support legs may tip backward when subjected to a strong impact, as described above in the prior art, the present invention provides a stopper between the stage body, whose base end is pivotally attached to the floor, and the support leg, which is capable of maintaining the support leg at a right angle to the horizontally positioned stage body. The stopper is designed to stand upright when the stage body is horizontal, with its tip contacting the underside of the support leg, and to fold down when the stage body is upright, allowing it to be stored between the stage body and the support leg. This ensures uniformity of the wall surface when stored, and also prevents the support leg from tipping backward when in use, thereby solving the above problem. [Effects of the Invention]
[0006] In short, the present invention involves fixing fixed legs upright on the floor surface of a storage compartment recessed in a wall, pivotally attaching the base end of a stage body that can be tilted up and down between a horizontal and upright position to the upper part of the fixed legs, and having a base plate of the stage body that is uniform with the wall when the stage body is upright, at least the tip of which is formed to be divisible, and being able to protrude at a right angle as a support leg when the stage body is horizontal, and being rotatably provided so as to fit flush with the base plate when the stage body is upright, and between the stage body and the support leg, the stage body in a horizontal position A stopper is provided that can maintain the support legs at a right angle to the body. The stopper is designed to stand upright when the stage body is horizontal, with its tip contacting the underside of the support legs, and to fold down when the stage body is upright, allowing it to be stored between the stage body and the support legs. When stored, the bottom plate including the support legs is flush with the wall, ensuring uniformity with the wall. Furthermore, when in use, even if an impact is applied to the support legs, the stopper prevents them from falling backward, thus reliably preventing accidents such as falls caused by the stage tilting.
[0007] A base plate is installed on the back side of the stage body, and the base plate is parallel to the width direction of the stage body and inclined from the front end to the base end and from the front side to the back side of the stage body. The stopper is pivotally attached to the surface of the base plate on the front end side of the stage body so as to be able to be raised and lowered about an axis perpendicular to the length direction of the base plate. As a result, when the stage body is in a vertical position, the stopper is provided on the surface of the base plate facing upwards, so it can be automatically lowered. When the stage body is in a horizontal position, the stopper is provided on the surface of the base plate facing downwards, so it can be automatically raised and lowered. Therefore, the stopper can be automatically raised and lowered by raising and lowering the stage body.
[0008] Since the base end of the stopper can contact the substrate in an upright position, it is possible to maintain the upright position of the stopper during use, thus ensuring that the locked state of the support leg is reliably maintained during use, and thus its practical effects are considerable. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 2] This is a cross-sectional view AA in Figure 1. [Figure 3] This is a cross-sectional view of the stage in use. [Figure 4(a)] This is a perspective view of the stopper with the stage itself in an upright position. [Figure 4(b)] This is a perspective view of the stopper when the stage itself is in a horizontal position. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0010] An example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The tiltable stage according to the present invention basically consists of a stage body 1, which can be tilted between a horizontal and an upright position, with its base end pivotally attached to the floor f side of the stage installation room R, and a bottom plate 2 that is uniform with the wall W of the stage installation room R when upright, placed on the back side of the stage body 1, and at least the tip portion of the bottom plate 2 is formed to be separable as a support leg 3 that protrudes perpendicularly to the stage body 1 when it is horizontal and is parallel to the stage body 1 when it is upright, and the support leg 3 is formed in a panel shape with a width approximately the same as the stage body 1 and is rotatably provided so as to fit flush with the bottom plate 2 when the stage body 1 is upright, and a stopper 4 is placed between the stage body 1 and the support leg 3 that can maintain the perpendicular position of the support leg 3 with respect to the stage body 1 when it is horizontal, and the stopper 4 stands upright when the stage body 1 is horizontal and its tip abuts against the back side of the support leg 3 and lies down when the stage body 1 is upright and is stored between the stage body 1 and the support leg 3. The following provides a detailed explanation.
[0011] Figure 1 is a front view showing the wall-mounted state of the tiltable stage according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of AA in Figure 1, and Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the stage in a horizontal state, which is provided to be able to be stored upright in a storage compartment H recessed in the wall W of the stage installation room R.
[0012] The stage body 1 is formed in a flat box shape and has a floorboard 5 that is horizontally positioned in a horizontal state, a pair of elongated strip-shaped sideboards 6, 6a arranged on the left and right side edges of the floorboard 5, and an elongated strip-shaped kick plate 7 arranged on the left and right side edges of the floorboard 5 and installed between the ends of the sideboards 6, 6a.
[0013] The stage body 1 has multiple joists 8, 8a... arranged parallel to each other in the width direction on the underside of the floorboard 5, and multiple fixed legs 9, 9a... are fixed in parallel and upright at predetermined intervals in the lateral (left and right) direction on the floor surface f of the storage room H, and the base ends of the joists 8, 8a... are pivotally attached to the fixed legs 9, 9a..., thereby making it possible to raise and lower the stage body 1.
[0014] The base plate 2 is positioned parallel to the floor plate 5 on the underside of the stage body 1, and is uniform with the wall W when the stage body 1 is upright. The base plate 2 consists of support legs 3 at the front and the base plate body 10 that occupies the rest. The support legs 3 are rotatably provided so that they fit flush with the base plate body 10 (arranged on the same plane) when the stage body 1 is upright, and become the floor plate 5.
[0015] The support legs 3 are pivotally attached to the stage body 1 at hinges located at appropriate positions on the underside of their bases. A damper 12 with a rod 11 that can extend and retract is installed between multiple brackets located at appropriate positions on the underside of both the support legs 3 and the floorboard 5, ensuring that the support legs 3 maintain a vertical position at all times during the elevation and lowering process of the stage body 1. Multiple contact points 13 with adjustable protrusion lengths are provided at various locations on the underside of the tip of each support leg 3.
[0016] The stopper 4 is installed on a base plate 14 that is erected between adjacent joists 8, 8a... The base plate 14 is inclined from the front end to the base end and from the front side to the back side of the stage body 1, and the stopper 4 is positioned on the front end side of the base plate 14 so as to be able to move up and down about an axis perpendicular to the length direction of the base plate 14.
[0017] As shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b), the stopper 4 is attached via a hinge 16 to the upper surface of a mounting block 15 fixed to the substrate 14. Specifically, it has a corrugated plate 17 and a stopper body 18 provided on the side surface in the falling direction of the swing plate 17, and the stopper body 18 protrudes from the tip of the swing plate 17.
[0018] The stopper body 18 is composed of a fixing nut 19 for the corrugated plate 17, a bolt body 20 screwed into the fixing nut 19, and an adjusting nut 21 screwed onto the middle part of the bolt body 20. After adjusting the protruding length of the bolt body 20 with respect to the fixing nut 19, the adjusting nut 21 is fastened to fix the bolt body 20, and a contact block 22 of the stopper 4 is provided on the back surface of the support leg 3.
[0019] In addition, it is preferable that the corrugated plate 17 is formed such that its base end abuts against the substrate 14 when it is perpendicular to the substrate 14. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4(b), the protruding length of the base end side portion of the corrugated plate 17 from the rotation center 16a of the hinge 16 and the height of the rotation center 16a of the hinge 16 with respect to the substrate 14 are the same dimension.
[0020] Then, as shown in FIG. 3, to use the stage body 1 in the stored state as a stage, the vertical stage body 1 is rotated to fall, and when the stage body 1 becomes horizontal, the grounding portion 13 of the support leg 3 protruding at a right angle to the stage body 1 touches the floor surface f, and the tip of the upright stopper 4 hits the contact block 22 of the support leg 3, resulting in a stage where the floor board 5 is horizontally arranged on the upper layer and the support leg 3 does not fall inward.
[0021] That is, since the stopper 4 is provided on the upward-facing surface of the substrate 14 when the stage body 1 is in the vertical state, it automatically falls, and since it is provided on the downward-facing surface of the substrate 14 when the stage body 1 is in the horizontal state, it automatically stands up.
[0022] Furthermore, in order to store the stage body 1 in an upright position in the storage bay H, the stage 1 is rotated upright using the reverse procedure, the upright stopper 4 collapses, the support legs 3 return to their parallel position with the stage body 1, and the support legs 3 and the base plate body 10 become flush with the base plate 2.
