Abstract

A storage rack includes: a plurality of supporting pillars and a platform on which an object to be stored is to be placed. The platform includes a platform body, and a pair of attachment plates each having a plate shape. A pair of surfaces that face each other of a pair of supporting pillars are respectively provided with a pair of recessed grooves into which the pair of attachment plates are inserted. Each recessed groove includes a groove-side abutting portion that extends linearly in a direction orthogonal to the left-right direction. An outer edge of the attachment plate includes a plate-side abutting portion that is parallel with the groove-side abutting portion. The platform is fixed to the pair of supporting pillars such that the plate-side abutting portion abuts against the groove-side abutting portion.

Claims (27)

1. A storage rack comprising:

a plurality of storage sections that are regularly arranged in a top-bottom direction and a left-right direction;

a plurality of supporting pillars that stand in the top-bottom direction at left and right ends of the plurality of storage sections in the left-right direction and at positions each between the storage sections that are adjacent to one another in the left-right direction; and

a platform that is fixed to a pair of supporting pillars that are adjacent to each other in the left-right direction, from among the plurality of supporting pillars, and on which an object to be stored is adapted to be placed,

wherein:

the platform includes a platform body, and a pair of attachment plates each having a plate shape and extending in the top-bottom direction and a front-rear direction, along two side edges, in the left-right direction, of the platform body,

a pair of surfaces that face each other of the pair of supporting pillars are provided with a pair of recessed grooves into which the pair of attachment plates are inserted, such that positions, in the top-bottom direction, of the pair of recessed grooves coincide with each other,

the pair of recessed grooves includes a groove-side abutting portion that extends linearly in a direction orthogonal to the left-right direction,

the pair of attachment plates has an outer edge including a plate-side abutting portion that extends linearly in parallel with the groove-side abutting portion, and

the platform is fixed to the pair of supporting pillars such that the plate-side abutting portion abuts against the groove-side abutting portion.

2. The storage rack according to claim 1 , wherein the platform body has a plate shape that extends in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction,

wherein the pair of attachment plates are formed integrally with the platform body, and

wherein the plate-side abutting portion is constituted by a lower edge of the pair of attachment plates.

3. The storage rack according to claim 1 , wherein:

the pair of recessed grooves further includes a second groove-side abutting portion in addition to a first groove-side abutting portion which is the aforementioned groove-side abutting portion,

the first groove-side abutting portion and the second groove-side abutting portion extend in different directions orthogonal to the left-right direction,

the outer edge further includes a second plate-side abutting portion in addition to a first plate-side abutting portion which is the aforementioned plate-side abutting portion,

the first plate-side abutting portion and the second plate-side abutting portion extend in different directions orthogonal to the left-right direction,

the first plate-side abutting portion is parallel with the first groove-side abutting portion,

the second plate-side abutting portion is parallel with the second groove-side abutting portion, and

the platform is fixed to the pair of supporting pillars such that the first plate-side abutting portion abuts against the first groove-side abutting portion and the second plate-side abutting portion abuts against the second groove-side abutting portion.

4. The storage rack according to claim 3 , wherein the first groove-side abutting portion and the first plate-side abutting portion extend in a horizontal direction,

wherein the second groove-side abutting portion is located adjacent to one end of the first groove-side abutting portion, and extends in a direction that intersects the first groove-side abutting portion, and

wherein the second plate-side abutting portion is located adjacent to one end of the first plate-side abutting portion, and extends in a direction that intersects the first plate-side abutting portion.

5. The storage rack according to claim 1 , wherein each of the pair of attachment plates has a portion inserted into corresponding one of the recessed grooves, the portion fixed to the supporting pillar, using a fastening member.

6. The storage rack according to claim 5 , wherein the pair of attachment plates includes an upper extension portion that extends at a higher level than the platform body, the upper extension portion provided with a fastened portion fastened using the fastening member.

7. The storage rack according to claim 1 , wherein a rear portion of the platform in the front-rear direction is fixed to the pair of supporting pillars in a cantilever manner.
