DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a locker to be installed and used in various places where clothes are needed, including offices and factories.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, a conventional locker is provided with a unit storage element having a rectangular storage space in plan view between parallel left and right side walls. However, in a type in which each storage space can be used by each person, usually, the depth dimension of the storage space is set to a value corresponding to the shoulder width dimension of the clothing so that the clothing can be stored vertically. In addition, the width of the storage space is set to a width that does not hinder the storage of shoes, baggage, and the like.

[0003]

However, in such a locker, the width cannot be reduced in relation to the shoulder width of the garment. It is inevitable, but if the width dimension is too small, it will be impossible to store baggage etc that can not be deformed or folded,
It will be of low use value. For this reason, the conventional lockers have certain limitations in their high-density arrangement.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a locker which can realize a higher density arrangement without lowering the utility value.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following measures. That is, the rocker according to the present invention comprises comprises a plurality of unit storage elements progressively the distance obtained by forming a storage space between the left and right side walls increases towards the open front opening, the unit housing Each side wall of the element only at the leading edge
It is characterized by being made of sheet metal having a hollow portion for reinforcement .

In order to arrange unit storage elements at high density
Should have the trailing edge of each side wall in one place
No. In addition, the preferred form of the unit storage element is a storage empty
The space between them is a substantially right-angled triangular shape in plan view,
An example in which a plurality of sets of the second unit storage elements are arranged adjacent to each other can be given.

[0007]

With such a construction, the utility value does not decrease even if the volume of the storage space is set to about half of the conventional one. That is, according to the present invention, the storage space is gradually narrowed toward the back, but since the clothing is flexible, it can be stored without difficulty if the depth dimension corresponds to the shoulder width dimension. . On the other hand, shoes, baggage, and the like stored in this type of locker are usually not large enough to correspond to the shoulder width of clothing. Therefore, if the vicinity of the opening of the storage space has the same width dimension as before, the storage can be performed without difficulty. Moreover, since the locker of the present invention is configured by arranging unit storage elements rather than partitioning a large space, it is possible to easily cope with various specifications by changing the arrangement of the unit storage elements. Becomes possible. Furthermore, each side wall of the unit storage element,
Made of sheet metal with a hollow portion for reinforcement only at the leading edge
So it can be extremely thin except for the front edge of the side wall.
Leaving a dead space on the trailing edge of each of those sidewalls
High-density arrangement
Becomes possible.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Embodiment 1 (FIGS. 1 to 7) In a locker 1 of this embodiment, as schematically shown in FIG. 1, unit storage elements 2R and 2L are arranged adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction, and approximately 8 in plan view. A rectangular storage element group 3 is formed, and a plurality of storage element groups 3 are arranged in series.

The unit storage elements 2R, 2L are formed by forming a storage space S between the left and right side walls 22, 23 whose separation distance gradually increases toward the front opening 21 as shown in a plan section in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the upper ends of both side walls 22 and 23 are joined by a top plate 24, and the lower ends are joined by a bottom plate 25. The door 26 is hinged so that it can be opened and closed.
In this embodiment, the first unit storage element 2R in which the left side wall 22 and the front opening 21 are orthogonal to each other in a front view.
And second unit storage elements 2L in which the right side wall 23 and the front opening 21 are orthogonal to each other in a front view are alternately arranged adjacent to each other in a state where the side walls 22 and 23 are tightly joined to each other, and are approximately 8 in a plan view.
A rectangular storage element group 3 is formed. Each side wall 22, 23
Is made of sheet metal having hollow pillar portions 22a and 23a for reinforcement only at the front edge. FIG. 3 is a view taken in the direction of the arrow A in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a partial front view showing the inside of the storage space with the door 26 omitted. FIG. 5 is a side sectional view showing the inside of the storage space. In these figures, 27 is a shelf, and 28 is a hanging bar for hanging clothes.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show the storage element group 3,
An example is shown in which a plurality of half storage element groups 4 are combined and arranged on a certain floor.

With such a configuration, even if the volume of the storage space S is set to about half the conventional value, the utility value does not decrease. That is, in the locker 1, the storage space S gradually narrows toward the back,
Since the garment 5 is flexible, it can be stored comfortably if the depth dimension corresponds to the shoulder width dimension. On the other hand, the shoes, baggage 6, and the like stored in the locker 1 of this type are not large enough to correspond to the shoulder width of the clothing 5 in general. Therefore, if the vicinity of the front opening 21 of the storage space S has the same width as before, the storage can be performed without difficulty.

Further, as in this embodiment, the storage space S is formed in a substantially right-angled triangular shape in plan view, and a plurality of sets of first and second unit storage elements 2R and 2L which are symmetrical to the left and right are arranged adjacent to each other to form an octagon. When the storage element group 3 is formed, the number of the storage element groups 3 is appropriately arranged so that the multi-person locker 1 is easy to use.
Can be configured. That is, both end portions 1a of the locker 1 can be used, and both the use surfaces 1b of the locker 1 are a repetition of the flat portion 1c and the V-shaped concave portion 1d. It is possible to dramatically increase the number of people who can be used face-to-face as compared with those having the total volume of. In addition, if it is an octagon, the V-shaped recess 1d has a relatively large opening angle and does not hinder use.

Embodiment 2 (FIG. 8) In this embodiment, as in the previous embodiment, unit storage elements 2R and 2L each having a storage space S of a substantially right triangle in plan view are arranged in the circumferential direction and viewed in plan. A substantially hexagonal storage element group 3 is formed, and a plurality of the storage element groups 3 are arranged in series.

In this case as well, effects similar to those of the first embodiment can be obtained. However, in this embodiment, since the storage element group 3 is hexagonal, the V-shaped recess 1d The divergence angle is larger than that of the octagonal shape, and it is easier to use.

Embodiment 3 (FIGS. 9 to 13) In the unit storage element 2 of this embodiment, a storage space S is formed between a pair of side plates 22 and 23 having equal depth dimensions as shown in FIG. Things. That is, the storage space S has a substantially isosceles triangle shape in plan view. The locker 1 is constructed by appropriately combining the unit storage elements 2. 9 shows an example in which four unit storage elements 2 are arranged adjacently in the circumferential direction, and FIG. 10 shows an example in which eight unit storage elements 2 are arranged adjacently. FIG. 11 shows a pair of unit storage elements 2, 2 connected together with the front opening 21 facing in the same direction to form a set of units, and a plurality of units joined and arranged with different directions of the front opening 21. Things. FIG. 12 shows the unit storage elements 2 joined alternately one by one by reversing the direction of the front opening 21.

In this embodiment, however, the storage space S is substantially triangular in plan view, so that an effect similar to that of the above-described embodiment can be obtained. If it is an isosceles triangle, one type of unit storage element 2
Accordingly, various types of lockers 1 can be configured. Therefore, the number of types of parts at the time of manufacturing can be reduced, and manufacturing efficiency can be reasonably improved.

The combination of the unit storage elements is not limited to those described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Further, a locker having only one unit storage element is, of course, included in the present invention.

Further, the arrangement of the shelves and the like in the storage space is not limited to the illustrated embodiment.

[0020]

According to the present invention having the above-described structure, it is constructed by arranging unit storage elements instead of partitioning a large space. Therefore, the arrangement of the unit storage elements can be changed. , It is possible to easily cope with various specifications, it is possible to reduce the entire volume without difficulty reducing the utility value, it is possible to use the floor space more efficiently and change the dressing space A locker that can be configured can be provided. Ma
In addition, each side wall is made of sheet metal having a hollow portion for reinforcement only at the front edge.
, So it ’s just better in terms of strength
In addition, a profound appearance can be secured. Only
Even though the side plate can be made rigid,
Because the inner part of the plate is made of one sheet metal material,
