Abstract
A storage structure is provided in which an outside surface panel can be attached and removed regardless of where the storage structure is installed. The storage structure has a plurality of columns, an outside surface panel configured to be located between two mutually adjacent columns to form a part of an outer wall, and an outward-side pressing member and an inward-side pressing member each of which can be removably attached to a column. The outside surface panel has a width which is less than a distance between the two mutually adjacent columns. The outward-side pressing member and the inward-side pressing member cooperate with each other to assist in holding the outside surface panel from both sides.
Claims3
A storage structure for storing articles and having outer walls in side periphery thereof comprising:
- a plurality of columns spaced apart from each other along a spaced-apart direction;
- an outside surface panel configured to be located between two mutually adjacent columns to form a part of an outer wall;
- an outward-side pressing member configured to be removably attached to a first target surface of a column, the first target surface being an outward side surface of the column;
- and
- an inward-side pressing member configured to be removably attached to a second target surface of the column, the second target surface extending at an angle with the first target surface;
- wherein the outside surface panel has a panel width which is less than an inter-column separation distance which is a dimension, along the spaced-apart direction, of a space formed between the two mutually adjacent columns,
- wherein the outward-side pressing member and the inward-side pressing member are configured to cooperate with each other to apply pressure to the outside surface panel from a front side and a back side of the outside surface panel,
- wherein the inward-side pressing member is configured to be capable of being attached to and removed from the column by a worker by directly and manually operating the inward-side pressing member using fingers,
- wherein the inward-side pressing member is configured to rotate about its own axis while attached to the second target surface, and
- wherein the inward-side pressing member has a main body portion having a pressing surface which is configured to contact the outside surface panel and which is generally formed in a shape of a part of a sphere or in a shape of a circular-arc surface.
