Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention can be used, for example, to store winter tires such as snow tires, spike tires, and snow tires in the summer, and to store regular tires in the winter. This relates to a tire storage shed that is used to store tires.

[Conventional technology]

In regions where winter tires and regular tires are used depending on the season, it is necessary to store unused tires removed from automobiles for a long period of time.

For long-term storage of tires, it is necessary to avoid places exposed to direct sunlight, rain, or water, so they are often stored in a shed.

By the way, when storing tires in a storage room, if you keep them upright, they will not be stable and may hit the inside of the door, making it difficult to open the door, or the tires may roll out unexpectedly when you open the door. Conventionally, tires were stacked on their sides due to the possibility of this.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

With the above storage method, the tires have to be lifted up inside a small storage space, and automobile tires weigh about 20 kg each, depending on the tire size and wheel material. It was very troublesome to put it in and take it out.

In view of this current situation, the present invention has been developed to provide a versatile tire storage that can store automobile tires in a very stable and easy-to-access state, and can also be conveniently used to store items other than tires. We aim to provide the following.

[Means for solving problems]

The technical measures taken by the present invention to achieve the above objectives are as follows. That is, the tire storage according to the present invention includes a roof, left and right side walls, a rear wall, a door for opening and closing a front opening, and a floor plate, and the circumferential surface of the tire in an upright position is placed on the floor plate. The tire is characterized in that groove-shaped tire support portions are provided in the left-right direction to support the tire at at least two points in the front-rear direction.

[Effect]

According to the above configuration, the circumferential surface of the tire in the upright position is supported at least at two points in the front and rear directions by the groove-shaped tire support portion, so even though the tire is in the upright position, Can be stored stably. In other words, since the tire support part is formed in the shape of a concave groove in the left-right direction on the floorboard, the circumferential surface of a tire stored in the front-rear direction perpendicular to the groove comes into contact with the front and rear groove shoulders at two points. Since the tire is supported directly and prevented from moving forward and backward, the tire will not roll out of the groove.

Even if the tire is small in diameter, its circumferential surface is the groove bottom,
Since the tire contacts either the front or rear groove shoulders at at least two points, the tire is prevented from rolling out of the groove and is stably supported within the groove. on the other hand,
Even if the tire is large, its circumferential surface contacts the front and rear groove shoulders at least at two points, so movement in the front and rear direction is prevented. It goes without saying that even if the circumferential surface of the tire is abutted and supported at three points: the groove bottom and the front and rear groove shoulders, the tire remains stable and is prevented from rolling out in the front-rear direction.

Since the tire support part mentioned above is provided on the floorboard and in the left and right direction (left and right direction when viewed from the front opening), the tire can be rolled and supported by the tire support part without changing its direction. Since there is no need to change the direction of the tire when taking it out of the storage, it is easy to take the tire in and out.

Also, since there is a floorboard, it is possible to store items other than tires.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

The floor plate 6 is provided with groove-shaped tire support portions A in the left-right direction for supporting the circumferential surface of an automobile tire B in an upright position at two points.

The structure of the tire support section A will be explained in more detail as follows. That is, the floorboard 6 has a downwardly recessed middle part in the front-rear direction, and both lower ends of the sideboard parts 7a, 7a, which have parallel and opposing curved shoulder parts, are flattened. Bottom plate part 7
A groove 8 with a width of about 30 cm is formed integrally connected by the curved shoulder part (groove shoulder) of the tire B.
The tire support portion A is configured to support the circumferential surface of the tire at two points in the front and rear directions. On the back side of the floor plate 6, two reinforcing bars 9, 9 for reinforcing the tire support part A are welded, glued, screwed, etc., at positions that contact the side plate parts 7a, 7a and the floor plate parts on both sides thereof. It is configured to be fixed by appropriate means to prevent deformation of the floorboard 6. 10, 10 are reinforcing flange portions bent downward on both the front and rear edges of the floorboard 6;
Reference characters a, 11a, 11b, and 11b are reinforcing flange portions formed by bending downward on both left and right edges of the floorboard 6. The reinforcing bars 9, 9, as shown in FIG.
It has a hollow shape, and one side thereof is connected to the side plate portions 7a, 7.
It is formed into a curved surface shape corresponding to the curved surface shape of a, and has end plates 12 with screw holes at both ends thereof.
Then, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the reinforcing flange portions 11a, 1
The end plates 12 of the reinforcing bars 9, 9 are inserted through the screw holes 1b.
The floor plate 6 is fixed to the left and right side walls 2 by screwing screws 13 into the screw holes.

As shown in FIG. 2, the lower part of the floorboard 6 is composed of a front lower frame 14, a rear lower frame 15, left and right lower frames 16, 16, and an intermediate lower frame 17 installed between these. A floor frame C is provided, and the floor plate 6 is supported by the floor frame C (see FIGS. 3 and 4). D... is a foundation such as a concrete block, and supports the floor frame C.

The length of the tire support portion A in the left-right direction (dimensions of the floorboard 6) is a matter that should be set appropriately;
Since four tires are usually replaced at the same time, the tire support section A needs to be long enough to support at least four tires B side by side for storage purposes.

On the inner surfaces of the left and right side walls 2, 2, removable tire supports 18, 18 suspended between pillars formed by bending the ends of the side walls 2, 2 are provided at appropriate heights. , even if the tire B is tilted, the side walls 2, 2
