[Example] Hereinafter, this invention will be described in detail based on an example shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of the cabinet according to this invention. In the same figure, the cabinet, designated as a whole by reference numeral 10, has external dimensions that can be placed below the piano shelf, for example, a width of 370×
It has a depth of 360 x height of 550 (mm), and includes an inner box 11 for storing articles, an outer box 12 for storing the inner box 11 in a manner that can be rotated in the front and rear directions, and an inner box 11 that can be rotated. It is generally composed of a support shaft 13 that is freely supported, a rotational force applying means 14 that tilts the inner box 11, and the like.

The inner box 11 has a box body with an open front surface formed by an upper plate 16A, a lower plate 16B, a pair of left and right side plates 16C, 16D, and a back plate (not shown), and the front opening 17 can be used to store musical scores, texts, etc. The interior is divided into three storage chambers by two vertical partition plates 18A and 18B.

The upper portions of the front end faces of the left and right side plates 16C, 16D and the partition plates 18A, 18B are cut off diagonally to form a slope 19 in order to facilitate visual confirmation of the interior of the inner box 11 from diagonally above. Also, inner box 1
If necessary, an opening (not shown) for removing dust is provided on the bottom surface near the back of the device 1. Furthermore, if necessary, the opening 17 may be provided with a door that can be opened and closed.

Like the inner box 11, the outer box 12 has a box body with an open front, and has casters 3 attached to each of the four corners of its lower surface, making it portable (however, the casters 3 are not always necessary).
Inner box 11 is located at the center of the inner surface of the right side panels 20A and 20B.
A shaft hole or a bearing member (not shown) serving as a bearing portion for rotatably supporting the support shaft 13 is provided. The center of rotation of the inner box 11 is positioned close to the center of gravity (the position of the center of gravity in the article storage state is particularly important) to facilitate rotation of the inner box 11. Further, the support shaft 13 is provided protrudingly provided at the center of the outer surface of each side plate 16C, 16D of the inner box 11, but the support shaft 13 is not limited to this.
3 may be provided on the inner surface of the outer box 12, and the shaft hole or bearing member may be provided on the outer surface of the inner box 11.

The inside of the outer box 12 is divided by a horizontal partition plate 21 into an inner box storage section 22 and an accessory storage section 23, and the accessory storage section 23 is provided with a door 24. A pedal 26 is provided on the right side of the accessory storage section 23 as a part of the rotating force applying means 14 for tilting the inner box 11. The rear end 26A of the pedal 26 is rotatably supported in the vertical direction by a bracket (not shown) provided on the inner bottom surface of the outer box 12, and the front end protrudes forward from the slit 28 of the front plate 27. , the rotational force applying means 1 is also provided in the intermediate part.
One end of a connecting rod 29 as part of 4 is connected. The other end of the connecting rod 29 is connected to the rear side of the outer surface of the right side plate 16D of the inner box 11.

In this case, the pedal 26 is depressed along the slit 28 and is set and held at the lowest position. In this state, the connecting rod 29 is pulled diagonally forward and downward, so that the inner box 11 rotates around the support shaft 13. Rear as a dynamic fulcrum (direction where the lower part of the front side is higher)
It is rotated by the required angle and held in an inclined position. On the other hand, when the pedal 26 is pulled up along the slit 28, the connecting rod 29 is pulled up diagonally backward and upward, so that the inner box 11 is tilted about the support shaft 13 until it assumes its normal storage position. At this time, the bottom surface of the inner box 11 is substantially parallel to the bottom surface of the outer box 12, the front surfaces are also substantially aligned, and the inner box 11 is completely housed in the outer box 12.

According to the cabinet 10 having such a structure, the inner box 11 and the outer box 12 have a double box structure, and the inner box 11 is built into the outer box 12 so as to be freely rotatable in the front and rear directions. Since it is configured so that it can be tilted at a required angle, when the inner box 11 is tilted when searching for or taking out the necessary musical scores, texts, etc., the stored items facing the front opening 17 are oriented obliquely upward. This has the advantage that there is no need to bend over or sit down, and it is possible to check stored items and take them in and out easily in a stress-free posture. In addition, inner box 11
If the inner box 11 is set and maintained in its normal position, the inner box 11 does not protrude from the outer box 12, so it does not take up much space.
