When the at least one support frame 140 is provided as a plurality of configurations, the shelf frame 100 may be supported within the care room 30 such that the plurality of support frames 140 is arranged to be spaced apart from each other in the up-down direction.

When the open portion 150 is formed on a front side of the shelf frame 100, the hook member 160 may be disposed to face the rear side of the first side frame 110. According to this structure, the shelf frame 100 may be inserted from the front to the rear of the care room 30. In this case, because the one end 141 of the at least one support frame 140 may face the opening 10a side of the clothes care apparatus 1 (see FIG. 2) when the hook member 160 is coupled to the frame support parts 61, 190, and 190a, clothes and the like may be easily received on the shelf frame 100.

As illustrated in the drawings, the hook member 160 may be provided on the first side frame 110 side. The hook member 160 may be rotatable with respect to the first side frame 110.

Unlike illustrated in the drawings, the hook member 160 may be formed integrally with the first side frame 110, the second side frame 120, or the connection frame 130. Additionally, the hook member 160 may have a structure capable of sliding so as to protrude from the first side frame 110, the second side frame 120, or the connection frame 130 toward the outside of the shelf frame 100.

The hook member 160 may be capable of being coupled with the locking members or locks 190 and 190a. The hook member 160 may be disposed in a locked position in which the hook member protrudes to the outside of the shelf frame 100 to be capable of being coupled with the locking members 190 and 190a. The hook member 160 may be disposed in an accommodated position in which the hook member is rotated toward the inside of the shelf frame 100 from the locked position. The hook member 160 may be rotatable with respect to the first side frame 110 to be movable between the locked position and the accommodated position.

A member such as silicon or rubber may be coupled to a coupled portion between the hook member 160 and the first side frame 110. This is to prevent the hook member 160 from rotating due to an own weight thereof when not coupled with the locking member 190 or 190a. The hook member 160 is not limited to this structure and may include a locking structure of being capable of fixing the hook member 160 in the locked position and the accommodated position.

The hook member 160 may include a rotational coupling part 161 provided to be coupled to the first side frame 110, and a hook protrusion 162 protruding from the rotational coupling part 161 to be coupled to the locking members 190 and 190a. The hook protrusion 162 may be coupled to the support bar 61.

The shelf frame 100 may include a hook accommodating groove 115 provided to accommodate the hook member 160. The hook accommodating groove 115 may be provided on a lower side of the shelf frame 100 on which the support protrusion grooves 111, 112, 121, and 122 are formed. The reason why the hook accommodating groove 115 is provided on the lower side is to improve the aesthetics of the shelf frame 100 when the shelf frame 100 is supported by the support members 170, 180, 180a, and 180b.

However, the hook accommodating groove 115 may be formed to be provided on the upper side of the shelf frame 100 when the shelf frame is supported by the support members 170, 180, 180a, and 1180b. According to this structure, the hook member 160 may be disposed in the accommodated position without a separate locking structure.

The present disclosure is not limited to the shelf frame 100 illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 7, and the hook member 160 may not be provided on the shelf frame 100. Unlike illustrated in FIG. 8, support protrusions 171 and 172 of the support members 170 and 180 may be provided as a single configuration. That is, the hook accommodating groove 115 of the shelf frame 100 may not be a groove for accommodating the hook member 160. In this case, the support protrusions 171 and 172 of the support members 170 and 180 may not be provided as a plurality of configurations but may be provided as at least one configuration, and in this case, at least one protrusion of the support members 170 and 180 may be inserted into the hook accommodating groove 115.

Instead of the configuration of the hook member 160, the shelf frame 100 may include a support member groove (not shown) capable of extending in a longitudinal direction of the first side frame 110 and the second side frame 120. According to this structure, the support members 170 and 180 may not include the configurations of the support protrusions 171, 172, 181, and 182, and the support members 170 and 180 may be inserted while sliding into the support member groove. The hook member 160 may also be detachably coupled to the shelf frame 100. According to this structure, the hook member 160 may be coupled to the shelf frame 100 only when the shelf frame 100 is disposed in the up-down direction.

Structures of the support members 170, 180, 180a, and 180b and the locking members 190 and 190a, and a process in which the shelf frame 100 is coupled to the support members 170, 180, 180a, and 180b will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9.

The support members 170, 180, 180a, and 180b and the locking members 190 and 190a may be disposed on the side wall 11 of the care room 30 (see FIG. 2). The support members 170, 180, 180a, and 180b and the locking members 190 and 190a may be disposed on the right surface 12c or the left surface 12d of the care room 30.

The frame support parts 61, 190, and 190a may include the locking members 190 and 190a and the support bar 61.

The support members 170, 180, 180a, and 180b may include the first support member 170 capable of being coupled with the locking members 190 and 190a and the second support member 180 capable of being used as a single configuration. The locking members 190 and 190a may include the first locking member 190 capable of being used by being coupled to the first support member 170 and the second locking member 190a capable of being used as a single configuration.

The first support member 170 and the second support member 180 may be disposed to be spaced apart in the up-down direction and may be provided on the left surface 12d of the care room 30. The pair of third support members 180a and 180b may be provided on the right surface 12c of the care room 30 to be spaced apart in the up-down direction.

The first support member 170 may be provided above the second support member 180. The first locking member 190 coupled to the first support member 170 may also be provided above the second support member 180. This configuration is intended to prevent clothes and the like that may be supported by the shelf frame 100 from coming into contact with a bottom of the care room 30 when the shelf frame 100 (see FIG. 6) is coupled to the first locking member 190.

The second locking member 190a may be provided above the first support member 170. Likewise, the second locking member 190a provided above the first support member 170 may hold the hook member 160 of the shelf frame 100. The second locking member 190a may be provided above the second support member 180.

The first support member 170 may include a support body 173 extending in the front-rear direction of the care room 30. The support protrusions 171 and 172 protruding upward may be disposed on front and rear sides of the support body 173, respectively. The support protrusions 171 and 172 may include the front support protrusion 171 disposed on a front side of the support body 173 and the rear support protrusion 172 disposed on the rear side of the support body 173.

The first support member 170 may include a locking member groove 175 provided to accommodate the first locking member 190 and a locking member coupling part 174 forming the locking member groove 175. The locking member coupling part 174 may have a shape of extending downward from the support body 173 between the support protrusions 171 and 172.

The locking member coupling part 174 may include the locking member groove 175. When the locking member 190 is not coupled with the hook member 160, the locking member 190 may be inserted into the locking member groove 175. The locking member 190 may be rotatably coupled to the locking member coupling part 174. The locking member 190 may be moved between a position in which the locking member protrudes to the inside of the care room 30 and a position in which the locking member is accommodated in the locking member groove 175.

According to this structure, when the locking member 190 is not coupled with the hook member 160, the locking member 190 may be moved into the locking member groove 175 to prevent interference with clothes and the like in the care room 30.

The first locking member 190 may be capable of being coupled with the hook member 160 when disposed in the position in which the first locking member protrudes to the inside of the care room 30. The locking members 190 and 190a may be formed such that the hook member 160 is seated therein. Hereinafter, a configuration of the first locking member 190 will be described, and a configuration of the second locking member 190a may correspond thereto.

More specifically, the first locking member 190 may include a body 193 coupled to the locking member coupling part 174. One side of the body 193 may be a part to be coupled to the locking member coupling part 174. The other side of the body 193 may be provided with a seating groove 191 and a locking protrusion 192 capable of fixing the hook member 160 so that the hook member 160 may be seated.

Unlike the configuration of the first support member 170, the second support member 180 may be used as a single configuration. The second support member 180 may include a support body 183 extending in the front-rear direction of the care room 30, a front protrusion 181 disposed on a front side of the support body 183, and a rear protrusion 182 disposed on a rear side of the support body 183.

The third support members 180a and 180b may include support bodies 183a and 183b, front protrusions 181a and 181b, and rear protrusions 182a and 182b, respectively, to correspond to the support body 183, the front protrusion 181, and the rear protrusion 182 of the second support member 180.

The front protrusion 171 of the first support member 170 may be inserted into the front protrusion groove 111 of the first side frame 110, and the rear protrusion 172 of the first support member 170 may be inserted into the rear protrusion groove 112 of the first side frame 110.

Likewise, the front protrusion 181a of the third upper support member 180a may be inserted into the front protrusion groove 121 (see FIG. 4) of the second side frame 120, and the rear protrusion 182a of the third upper support member 180a may be inserted into the rear protrusion groove 122 of the second side frame 120.

Also, the front protrusion 181 of the second support member 180 may be inserted into the front protrusion groove 111 of the first side frame 110, and the rear protrusion 182 of the second support member 180 may be inserted into the rear protrusion groove 112 of the first side frame 110.

The configuration of the third lower support member 180b may correspond to the configuration of the third upper support member 180a.

However, unlike illustrated in the drawings, the protrusions 171 and 172, 181 and 182, 181a and 182a, and 181b and 182b of the support members 170, 180, 180a, and 180b may be provided as single protrusions, and correspondingly, the shelf frame 100 may also have the protrusion grooves 111 and 112, and 121 and 122 provided as single grooves.

Due to this coupling, the open portion 150 of the shelf frame 100 may be formed on the front side of the care room 30, and the connection frame 130 of the shelf frame 100 may be formed on the rear side of the care room 30.

FIG. 9 illustrates the shelf frame 100 supported by the first support member 170 disposed on the left surface 12d (see FIG. 3) of the care room 30 and the third upper support member 180a disposed on the other side wall, but is not limited thereto. That is, the shelf frame 100 may be supported by the second support member 180 and the third lower support member 180b disposed on the side wall 11 of the care room 30.

Various arrangements of the shelf frame 100 in the care room 30 will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 9 to 12. As illustrated in FIG. 9, the shelf frame 100 may be supported by the support members 170, 180, 180a, and 180b inside the care room 30. According to this structure, the shelf frame 100 may be used to accommodate items on the upper side of the shelf frame 100.

As illustrated in FIG. 10, the hook member 160 of the shelf frame 100 may be disposed to be coupled to the support bar 61. In this case, the shelf frame 100 may be arranged in the up-down direction within the care room 30. In this case, the at least one support frame 140 of the shelf frame 100 may extend in the front-rear direction of the care room 30.

More specifically, the shelf frame 100 may be supported by the support bar 61 such that the at least one support frame 140 is arranged in the up-down direction. According to this structure, by hanging the clothes 2 on the at least one support frame 140, the clothes 2 that are difficult to be supported on the hanging member 60 may also be hung in the up-down direction in the care room 30. In this case, what is supported by the at least one support frame 140 is not limited to the clothes 2, and may be a scarf or necktie.

Also, the open portion 150, which may be formed between the one or more support frames 140, may be formed on the front side of the care room 30. In this case, convenience may be increased when the clothes 2 are inserted from the front side of the one or more support frames 140 toward the rear side.

As illustrated in FIG. 11, the hook member 160 of the shelf frame 100 may be disposed to be capable of being coupled to the second locking member 190a. As in FIG. 10, the shelf frame 100 may be arranged in the up-down direction within the care room 30.

That is, the at least one support frame 140 may be arranged in the up-down direction, and the open portion 150 may be disposed to be formed on the front side of the care room 30. According to this structure, even when the hanging members 60 of a sufficient number are held on the support bar 61, the extra clothes 2 or the like may be placed inside the care room 30 using the shelf frame 100.

As illustrated in FIG. 12, the shelf frame 100 may be used to be coupled to the first locking member 190. In this case, the hook member 160 may be disposed in the locked position, and the first locking member 190 may be disposed in the position in which the first locking member protrudes to the inside of the care room 30.

In this case, the hook protrusion 162 (see FIG. 6) may be seated in the seating groove 191 (see FIG. 8) of the locking member 190, and the position of the hook protrusion 162 may be fixed by the locking protrusion 192. This structure may be a structure which the first side frame 110 is disposed above the second side frame 120. Because the clothes 2 and the like may be inserted through the open portion 150 to be supported by the at least one support frame 140, convenience may be improved.

A shelf frame 200 according to another example will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 13 to 16. Unlike the configuration of the shelf frame 100 according to one example, the shelf frame 200 may be formed in a wire shape.

The shelf frame 200 may include a first side frame 210 and a second side frame 220 capable of being supported by the support members 170, 180, 180a, and 180b. The shelf frame 200 may include a connection frame 230 connecting rear sides of the first side frame 210 and the second side frame 220.

The connection frame 230 may be formed by combining two wires. That is, the connection frame 230 may include a first connection frame 231 and a second connection frame 232. The first connection frame 231 and the second connection frame 232 may form a space therebetween, and may have a shape in which a rear side of the first side frame 210 and a rear side of the second side frame 220 are bent and inserted through the space.

The first side frame 210 may include a wire body 212 capable of extending along an edge to form a groove 211 therein. The first side frame 210 may include a hook housing 270 connected to the wire body 212. Unlike illustrated in the drawings, the hook housing 270 may be included in the second side frame 220.

The groove 211 may be formed to extend in the front-rear direction so that the front support protrusions 171, 181, 181a, and 181b, and the rear support protrusions 172, 182, 182a, and 182b of the support members 170, 180, 180a, and 180b are inserted therein. In this case, the wire body 212 may press the support protrusions 171, 172, 181, 182, 181a, 182a, 181b, and 182b inserted into the groove 211.

Unlike a front end 210a of the first side frame 210, a portion adjacent to a rear end 210b may be bent to be capable of being inserted between the first connection frame 231 and the second connection frame 232. In this case, the first connection frame 231 and the second connection frame 232 may press the portion adjacent to the rear end 210b of the first side frame 210.

A configuration of the second side frame 220 may be provided to correspond to the configuration of the first side frame 210 described above.

The shelf frame 200 may include at least one support frame 240 capable of extending in the first direction between the first side frame 210 and the second side frame 220 and being arranged in the second direction.

Herein, the first direction and the second direction may be the first direction corresponding to an extending direction of the first side frame 210 and the second side frame 220 in the drawings and the second direction intersecting the first direction but are not limited thereto, and the second direction may be an extending direction of the connection frame 230.

The at least one support frame 240 may be a wire extending along an edge to form a groove therein. The support frames 240 may be spaced apart from each other and may have an open portion 250 provided to be adjacent to a front end 241.

The front end 241 of the at least one support frame 240 may be bent upward, and a rear end 242 may be inserted into a space between the first connection frame 231 and the second connection frame 232. According to this structure, when an item is supported on an upper side of the at least one support frame 240, the item may be prevented from falling to a front side thereof. The rear end 242 of the at least one support frame 240 may keep a stable shape by being coupled to the connection frame 230.

The shelf frame 200 may include the hook housing 270 and a hook member 260 connected to the wire body 212 of the first side frame 210. The hook member 260 may not only be formed to be coupled to the first locking member 190 and the second locking member 190a, or the support bar 61, but also may be coupled to any member as long as the member may be held (see FIGS. 9 to 12).

The hook housing 270 may be formed in a separate configuration from the wire body 212 of the first side frame 210. The hook housing 270 may be formed so as not to protrude to the outside of the shelf frame 200 compared to the wire body 212 of the first side frame 210. The hook housing 270 may include the hook member 260 and a hook accommodating groove 275 capable of accommodating the hook member 260.

According to this configuration, because the shelf frame 200 may include the rotatable hook member 260 even when formed in a wire shape, the shelf frame 200 may be disposed in various arrangements within the care room 30 (see FIG. 2). Therefore, user convenience and satisfaction may be improved.

The hook member 260 may be movable between the accommodated position in which the hook member is accommodated within the hook accommodating groove 275 and the locked position in which the hook member is coupled with the locking member 190 and 190a (see FIG. 9). When the hook member 260 is disposed in the locked position in which the hook member is coupled with the locking members 190 and 190a, the hook member 260 may protrude to the outside of the shelf frame 200. When the hook member 260 is disposed in the accommodated position, the hook member 260 may be accommodated within the hook housing 270.

When the hook member 260 is disposed in the locked position, the hook member 260 may also be supported by the support bar 61 (see FIG. 3).

The hook member 260 may be rotatably coupled with respect to the hook housing 270. The hook member 260 may include a rotational coupling part 261 coupled to the hook housing 270 and a hook protrusion 262 formed to protrude rearward from the rotational coupling part 261. An extending direction of the hook protrusion 262 may be formed to face a rear side on which the connection frame 230 is disposed.

Unlike illustrated in the drawings, the hook member 260 may have a wire shape of being formed integrally with the first side frame 210, the second side frame 220, or the connection frame 230. The hook member 260 may have a sliding structure to be capable of protruding toward the outside of the shelf frame 200 from the hook housing 270 coupled to the first side frame 210, the second side frame 220, or the connection frame 230, but is not limited thereto.

The hook accommodating groove 275 of the shelf frame 200 may be formed on a lower side when the shelf frame 200 is supported by support members 170, 180, 180a, and 180b (see FIG. 9) to be similar to the configuration of the shelf frame 100 according to one example. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

A shelf frame 300 according to another example will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 17 to 21. Descriptions of configurations of the shelf frame 300 corresponding to the configurations of the shelf frame 100 according to one example will be omitted.

A hook member 360 disposed on a first side frame 310 side of the shelf frame 300 may be included, and a clamp 370 formed on a second side frame 320 side may be included.

The clamp 370 may be provided to secure a position of the clothes 2 supported by the shelf frame 300. The clamp 370 may include covers 324 and 326 rotatably coupled to the second side frame 320. The clamp 370 may include coupling plates 325 and 327 disposed on the second side frame 320 to fix the clothes 2 to the second side frame 320.

The covers 324 and 326 may include the first cover 324 and the second cover 326. The first cover 324 may be formed to be larger than the second cover 326, and the first cover 324 and the second cover 326 may be provided on one side or the other side of the second side frame 320.

A size of the first cover 324 may be formed to correspond to or be smaller than a side body 323 of the second side frame 320, and the first cover 324 may be rotatably coupled with respect to one surface 323a of the side body 323. A portion to which the first cover 324 and the side body 323 are coupled may be one side of the shelf frame 300. Herein, the one side may be a side opposite to the other side of the shelf frame 300 on which the hook member 360 may be provided.

The first cover 324 may include a first rotational coupling part 324a coupled to the side body 323. That is, the first cover 324 may be open on the other side facing the at least one support frame 340 with respect to the first rotational coupling part 324a disposed on the one side.

The second cover 326 may be formed to be smaller than the side body 323. That is, the second cover 326 may face a different direction from the first cover 324, and the first cover 324 may be coupled to the first surface 323a of the side body 323, and the second cover 326 may be coupled to a second surface 323b of the side body 323.

The second cover 326 may be rotatably coupled with respect to the side body 323, and more detail, may be rotationally coupled to second rotational coupling parts 326a formed on left and right sides of the second cover 326.

The second cover 326 may be rotatably coupled to lower sides of the second rotational coupling parts 326a, and the lower sides may be one sides adjacent to the first rotational coupling part 324a.

The second cover 326 is fixed to the one sides of the second rotational coupling part 326a, so that the other side of the second cover facing the first side frame 310 may be opened. Unlike the first cover 324, an opening 328 may be formed on a lower side of the second cover 326.

The coupling plates 325 and 327 may include the first coupling plate 325 capable of being coupled to the first surface 323a of the side body 323, and the second coupling plate 327 capable of being coupled to the second surface 323b. The coupling plates 325 and 327 may be provided to be smaller than the side body 323.

Although not illustrated in the drawings, the first coupling plate 325 may be coupled to one surface of the first cover 324 adjacent to the first surface 323a, and the second coupling plate 327 may be coupled to one surface of the second cover 326 adjacent to the second surface 323b. Herein, the one surface of the first cover 324 or the one surface of the second cover 326 may be a surface adjacent to the side body 323.

The present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the first coupling plate 325 may be coupled to both the first cover 324 and the first surface 323a of the side body 323, and the second coupling plate 327 may be coupled to both the second cover 326 and the second surface 323b of the side body 323.

Hereinafter, a process in which the clothes 2 are supported by the shelf frame 300 when the at least one support frame 340 is arranged in the up-down direction will be described in detail.

When the at least one support frame 340 is arranged in the up-down direction, the hook member 360 may be in the position in which the locking member protrudes to the outside of the shelf frame 300. In this case, the first rotational coupling part 324a may be disposed at a lower portion of the first cover 324. The lower portion of the first cover 324 may not be opened, and only an upper portion thereof may be opened.

The clothes 2 may be placed on one side and the other side of the shelf frame 300 throughout the at least one support frame 340.

A first opening 324h may be formed in an open portion of the first cover 324, and one end 2a of the clothes 2 may be inserted into the first opening 324h. Thereafter, the first cover 324 may be closed again by the first rotational coupling part 324a and coupled to the first surface 323a of the side body 323.

As such, an elastic member is provided on the first rotational coupling part 324a so that the first rotational coupling part 324a may be closed again to fix the clothes 2, thereby providing an elastic force for rotation. Alternatively, the first rotational coupling part 324a may be provided with a locking structure or a magnet so that the first cover 324 may be fixed in a closed position.

The first coupling plate 325, which is coupled to the first surface 323a of the side body 323 and has a smaller shape than the side body 323, may fix the clothes 2 to the second side frame 320. This is to remove wrinkles by fixing the one end 2a of the clothes 2 to the second side frame 320.

Thereafter, as the second cover 326 is opened, the other end 2b of the clothes 2 may be inserted into a second opening 326h. The other end 2b of the clothes 2 may be inserted into the opening 328 provided on the lower side of the second cover 326 and protrude further downward than the second cover 326.

Thereafter, as the second cover 326 is closed again by the second rotational coupling part 326a, the second cover 326 may be coupled to the second surface 323b of the side body 323. Like the first rotational coupling part 324a described above, the second rotational coupling part 326a may also be provided with an elastic member, a locking structure, or a magnet so that the second cover 326 may be fixed in a closed position.

The second coupling plate 327 coupled to the second surface 323b of the side body 323 may fix the clothes 2 to the second surface 323b. Accordingly, a portion of clothes 2 adjacent to the one end 2a and the other end 2b is fixed to the second side frame 320, so that wrinkles in the clothes 2 may be removed.

The present disclosure is not limited to what is illustrated in the drawings, and the hook member 360 may be provided on the one side of the shelf frame 300 and the clamp 370 may be provided on the other side.

A shelf frame 400 according to another example will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 22 and 23. The shelf frame 400 may be configured such that a first side frame 410 may be supported by one configuration of the third support members 180a and 180b disposed on the right surface 12c (see FIG. 9) of the care room 30. A second side frame 420 may be supported by the first support member 170 or the second support member 180 disposed on the left surface 12d of the care room 30. A hook member 460 may be provided to be adjacent to the first side frame 410.

The shelf frame 400 may include connection frames 430 and 470 connecting the first side frame 410 and the second side frame 420. The connection frames 430 and 470 may include the first connection frame 430 and the second connection frame 470.

As illustrated in FIG. 22, the first connection frame 430 may be provided on a front side of at least one support frame 440, and the second connection frame 470 may be provided on a rear side of the at least one support frame 440. The first connection frame 430 and the second connection frame 470 may be arranged side by side with each other.

One end 441 of the at least one support frame 440 may be connected to the first connection frame 430, and the other end 442 may be connected to the second connection frame 470. That is, one side of the at least one support frame 440 may be connected to the first connection frame 430, and the other side may be connected to the second connection frame 470.

When the hook member 460 is supported by the locking members 190 and 190a or the support bar 61, as illustrated in FIG. 23, the first connection frame 430 may be provided on the rear side of the at least one support frame 440 (see FIGS. 9 to 12). In this case, the second connection frame 470 may be provided on the front side of the at least one support frame 440.

In this case, the second connection frame 470 may be rotatably coupled with respect to the first side frame 410 and the second side frame 420. The one end 441 of the at least one support frame 440 may be coupled to the first connection frame 430, and the other end 442 of the at least one support frame 440 may be moved depending on a movement of the first connection frame 430.

That is, the one end 441 of the at least one support frame 440 may be fixed to the first connection frame 430, and the other end 442 may be moved by the movement of the first connection frame 430. The other end 442 may be capable of being coupled to the second connection frame 470.

When the other end 442 is coupled to the second connection frame 470, an open portion 450 may be closed, and when the other end 442 is separated from the second connection frame 470, the open portion 450 may be opened. A support frame groove 471 into which the at least one support frame 440 may be inserted may be disposed on the second connection frame 470 so that the other end 442 may be detachably coupled to the second connection frame 470. The support frame groove 471 may be modified depending on a shape of the at least one support frame 440.

The support frame groove 471 may be formed to face upward when the shelf frame 400 is supported by the support members 170, 180, 180a, and 180b (see FIG. 9). According to this configuration, the at least one support frame 440 may be prevented from being separated from the support frame groove 471.

However, the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration, and in order to prevent the first connection frame 430 from being moved due to a slight force, a member such as a rubber member may be added at portions where the first connection frame 430 is coupled to the first side frame 410 and the second side frame 420.

According to this structure, when the shelf frame 400 is supported by the support members 170, 180, 180a, and 180b, items may be prevented from falling toward the front. In addition, even when the shelf frame is supported by the support bar 61 or the locking members 190 and 190a, clothes and the like may be easily inserted through the open portion 450, thereby increasing convenience.

A shelf frame 500 according to another example will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 24 to 26. The shelf frame 500 may further include an opening and closing frame 570 capable of opening and closing an open portion 550 formed on a front side of at least one support frame 540.

The opening and closing frame 570 may be coupled to a first side frame 510 and a second side frame 520. More specifically, the shelf frame 500 may include seating frames 543 and 544 provided to be adjacent to the at least one support frame 540 from the first side frame 510, the second side frame 520 and a connection frame 530. The seating frames 543 and 544 may be formed to seat the opening and closing frame 570.

The seating frames 543 and 544 may include the first seating frame 544 provided to be adjacent to the first side frame 510 and the second side frame 520, and the second seating frame 543 provided to be adjacent to the connection frame 530.

The seating frames 543 and 544 may be formed to be smaller than heights of the first side frame 510, the second side frame 520, and the connection frame 530. The at least one support frame 540 may be formed to be smaller than the heights of the first side frame 510, the second side frame 520, and the connection frame 530. The at least one support frame 540 and the seating frames 543 and 544 may have the corresponding heights.

The opening and closing frame 570 may be moved by being coupled to the first side frame 510 and the second side frame 520. The opening and closing frame 570 may be rotatably coupled with respect to the first side frame 510 and the second side frame 520. The opening and closing frame 570 may be movable between an opened position in which the opening and closing frame opens the open portion 550 and a closed position in which the opening and closing frame closes the open portion 550.

More specifically, portions where the opening and closing frame 570 is coupled to the first side frame 510 and the second side frame 520 may be provided between a front support protrusion groove 511 and a rear support protrusion groove 512 of the first side frame 510. The opening and closing frame 570 may be disposed to be adjacent to the at least one support frame 540.

When one end 571 of the opening and closing frame 570 is disposed further forward than the at least one support frame 540, the opening and closing frame 570 may be disposed in a closed position in which the opening and closing frame closes the open portion 550. When the opening and closing frame 570 is rotated and seated on the second seating frame 543, the opening and closing frame 570 may be disposed in the opened position in which the opening and closing frame opens the open portion 550.

When the opening and closing frame 570 is disposed in the closed position, the opening and closing frame 570 may be supported by a front portion of the first seating frame 544. A case in which the opening and closing frame 570 is disposed in the opened position may be a case in which the opening and closing frame 570 is supported by a rear portion of the first seating frame 544 and the second seating frame 543.

When the opening and closing frame 570 is disposed in the closed position, the one end 571 of the opening and closing frame 570 may be disposed further forward than an one end 541 of the at least one support frame 540.

A front end 510a of the first side frame 510 and a front end 520a of the second side frame 520 may protrude further than the one end 541 of the at least one support frame 540. When the opening and closing frame 570 is disposed in the closed position, front sides of the front ends 510a and 520a of the first and second side frames 510 and 520 may not protrude compared to the one end 571 of the opening and closing frame 570.

Although the drawings illustrate the movement of the opening and closing frame 570 based on when the shelf frame 500 is supported by the support members 170, 180, 180a, and 180b, when the shelf frame 500 is supported by the locking members 190 and 190a or the support bar 61, the opening and closing frame 570 may be moved (see FIGS. 9 to 12).

According to this structure, the open portion 550 may be opened and closed so that items may be stably supported or clothes may be easily inserted, thereby increasing convenience.

A shelf frame 600 according to another example will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 27 and 28. The shelf frame 600 may include an opening and closing frame 670 provided to open and close an open portion 650 formed on a front side of at least one support frame 640.

The opening and closing frame 670 may include an opening and closing body 671 disposed side by side with a connection frame 630 and an insertion hole 672 into which at least one support frame 640 may be inserted.

The opening and closing frame 670 may be moved forward and rearward along a guide groove 621 formed on a first side frame 610 and a second side frame 620. In this case, the opening and closing frame 670 may be moved forward and rearward while the at least one support frame 640 is inserted into the insertion hole 672.

When the opening and closing frame 670 is moved to a front end 641 side of the at least one support frame 640, the opening and closing frame 670 may be disposed in a closed position in which the open portion 650 is closed. When the opening and closing frame 670 is moved to a rear end 642 side of the at least one support frame 640, the opening and closing frame 670 may be disposed in an opened position in which the open portion 650 is opened.

The effects of this structure are the same as described above.

A shelf frame 700 according to another example will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 29 to 31. Unlike the shelf frame 100 according to one example, the shelf frame 700 may have a configuration in which a hook member 760 slides.

Unlike illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 7, a hook member 760 may not be rotatably provided on side frames 710 and 720 or a connection frame 730 of the shelf frame 700. For example, the hook member 760 may be structured to slide from the side frames 710 and 720 or the connection frame 730 toward the outside of the shelf frame 700.

More specifically, the hook member 760 may be structured to slide toward the outside of the shelf frame 700 when the hook member 760 is disposed in the locked position. According to this structure, a sliding groove may be formed in a hook member accommodating groove 715 of the first side frame 710 to guide the hook member 760.

In the sliding groove in the hook member accommodating groove 715, an elastic member may be provided as described above, or a separate locking structure may be provided.

Also, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and when the hook member 760 is provided on the second side frame 720, the sliding groove may be provided on the second side frame 720, and when the hook member 760 is provided on the connection frame 730, the sliding groove may also be provided inside the connection frame 730.

Referring to FIGS. 32 and 33, a shelf frame 800 according to another example may include a coupling bar 860, unlike the hook member 160 according to one example. The coupling bar 860 may have a configuration capable of being coupled to the locking members 190 and 190a or the support bar 61.

More specifically, the coupling bar 860 may have a configuration capable of being supported in the seating grooves 191 and 191a of the locking members 190 and 190a.

In this case, the shelf frame 800 may be disposed along the up-down direction of the care room 30 to correspond to various arrangements of the shelf frame 100 according to one example. That is, when a connection frame 830 of the shelf frame 800 extends in the up-down direction of the care room 30, at least one support frame 840 also may extend in the front-rear direction of the care room 30.

As illustrated in FIG. 33, the coupling bar 860 may have a structure capable of being coupled to a hook member 62 provided on the support bar 61. According to this structure, the shelf frame 800 does not include a hook member and may include the coupling bar 860 in various forms.

The support bar 61 may include the hook member 62, and the coupling bar 860 may be coupled to and supported by the hook member 62 of the support bar 61.

Unlike illustrated in the drawings, the configuration of the hook member may not be provided on the shelf frame 800, and may be structured to be provided on the support members 170, 180, 180a, and 180b to be coupled to the coupling bar 860. The effects of this structure are the same as described above.

A shelf frame 900 according to another example will be described below with reference to FIGS. 35 and 36. In the shelf frame 900, unlike the shelf frame 100 according to one example, a hook member 960 may be formed on a connection frame 930 side.

Additionally, at least one support frame 940 may extend in the first direction and be arranged in the second direction between a first side frame 910 and a second side frame 920. Herein, the first direction may be an extension direction of the connection frame 930, and the second direction may be a direction intersecting the first direction.

According to this structure, the at least one support frame 940 may be provided further forward than the connection frame 930 to connect the first side frame 910 and the second side frame 920.

Like the hook member 160 according to one example, the hook member 960 may be rotatably coupled with respect to the connection frame 930 so as to be movable between the locked position and the accommodated position. The hook member 960 may include a rotational coupling part 961 coupled to the connection frame 930 and a hook protrusion 962 protruding from the rotational coupling part 961.

When the hook member 960 is disposed in the locked position, the first side frame 910 or the second side frame 920 may be disposed to face forward.

The foregoing has illustrated and described specific embodiments. However, it should be understood by those of skilled in the art that the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the technical idea of the present disclosure described in the following claims.
