The present invention has been made in order to meet these problems and demands of the prior art, and makes it possible to easily attach and detach articles and to carry out wiring work, wiring storage, and other processing. An object of the present invention is to provide an article storage / support device.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the article storage / support apparatus according to the invention as set forth in claim 1 is horizontally long and is detachably engaged with the front surface of furniture such as a support column or a partition panel. The hollow beam body is provided with a plurality of through holes for wiring and a wiring processing accommodating space.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the article storing / supporting apparatus according to the first aspect, the beam body is provided with a protrusion for attaching an additional article on the bottom surface thereof. is there.

The invention described in claim 3 is the same as claim 1
Alternatively, in the article storing / supporting device according to claim 2,
The detachable lid that covers the upper surface of the beam body is provided with an opening groove through which the wiring can be inserted while being attached to the beam body.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the article storing / supporting device according to any one of the first to third aspects, a bracket is detachably mounted inside the beam body, and the bracket is detachably mounted. Is configured to support an external support member through an insertion hole provided on the side surface of the beam body.

Further, the invention according to claim 5 is the article storing / supporting device according to any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the back surface of the beam body is detachable from the furniture. A locking member is provided.
