Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cover plate of a table or the like which can provide sufficient strength even with a thin-plate structure by improving edges. SOLUTION: In this mounting structure for a cover plate that covers the top of the rear or side portion of a top plate of a table or the like, the cover plate 1 is formed by causing at least the upper and lower ends of a base 1a made of a sheet metal to be forwardly curled into circular shapes on side view, and causing the loose edges of the upper and lower ends to abut the front surface of the base. The loose end edge of each curled portion is cut at a plurality of horizontal positions to form clearance portions 6 such that the width of clearance between the curled portion and the front surface of the base is smaller than the plate thickness of a mounting metal fitting. The upper end of the mounting metal fitting 3 having an inclined surface such that the front surface side of the upper end is inclined so as to extend backward as it gets higher is fitted into the clearance portion 6, and the rear surface of the mounting metal fitting 3 and the front surface of the base 1a are made to abut each other and connected together by a connecting means. Further, the lower portion of the mounting metal fitting is attached to a table main body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a cover plate mounting structure for a table or the like according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a cover plate mounting structure such as a table of the present invention. The cover plate (1) is used by being attached to the table (2) by a mounting bracket (3) in order to cover the rear part or the upper part of the side of the table (2). Therefore, only the case where it is attached to the rear portion will be described below.

The cover plate (1) is formed by pressing a thin metal plate, and is formed on a rectangular flat substrate (1a), which is long in the left-right direction, above, below, left, and right with reinforcing edges (1b). ) (1c) (1d) (1e). As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the upper and lower edges (1b) and (1c) are curled in a circular shape when viewed from the side, and the free end is formed on the substrate.
By making contact with the front surface of (1a), it becomes a pipe structure,
Even if the cover plate (1) is a long one having a single-plate structure, it has sufficient strength so as not to bend or twist.

The left and right edges (1d) and (1e) of the substrate (1a)
(However, the left edge (1d) is omitted in FIG. 2), as shown in the circle of FIG. 2, is folded back and bent into a hook shape in a plan view, and the edges (1d), ( 1e) and the substrate (1a) are formed into a U-shape to form a picture frame structure. The substrate (1a) having a single-plate structure is reinforced and the upper and lower ends of the folded portion (5) are connected to the upper and lower ends of the substrate (1a). And is in contact with the curled portion of

The upper curled edge (1b) of the substrate (1a)
Are used to fix the upper end of the mounting bracket (3). Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the free ends of the curl portion are cut out at a plurality of positions in the left-right direction, and the curl portion and the front surface of the substrate are cut off. Is formed as a separation portion (6) smaller than the thickness of the mounting bracket (3). This spacing (6) is in effect the upper edge (1
Although only b) is required, it may be formed also on the lower edge (1c) for convenience of molding.

The substrate (1a) is provided with small holes (7) of an arbitrary shape in a front surface of the substrate (1a) except for a portion to which the mounting bracket (3) is attached, in a preferred arrangement in design. ) Can be used for decoration, ventilation or hanging with hooks.

The mounting bracket (3) is made of a thick sheet metal and has a side view L.
The inclined surface (8) formed in the mold and formed so that the back surface of the vertical piece (3a) faces the front surface of the substrate (1a) and the upper surface of the front surface is recessed toward the top, and the curl portion is cut away. Separation part
(6), the edge of the separated part (6)
Attach the mounting bracket to hold down the slope (8) at the upper end of (3).
The back surface of (3) is in contact with the front surface of the substrate (1a).

As described above, after the mounting bracket (3) and the board (1a) are brought into contact with each other, a screw is provided under the vertical piece (3a).
Align the (9) with the hole (10) of the board (1a) and tighten the screw (11) to connect the mounting bracket (3) to the board (1a).

After connecting the substrate (1a) and the mounting bracket (3),
Align the hole (12) provided in the horizontal piece (3b) of the mounting bracket (3) with the embedding nut (13) embedded in the lower surface of the table (2), and tighten the screw (14). , Mounting bracket (3) to table (2)
Then, the cover plate (1) is attached above the rear of the table (2).

[0016]

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (a) According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the edges are improved, the cover plate has a single-plate structure, so that the material and the number of manufacturing steps can be reduced, and the product can be manufactured at low cost and light weight.

The upper and lower edges of the cover plate are curled in a circular shape in a side view to form a pipe structure. Even if the cover plate has a single-plate structure and is long, no deformation or twisting occurs. . When the slope of the upper end portion of the mounting bracket is abutted against the separated portion of the upper edge, the mounting bracket and the board abut, and if connection is performed by the connecting means in this state, the connection between the board and the mounting bracket is not separated. . Since the upper and lower edges are curled in a circular shape when viewed from the side, and their free ends are in contact with the substrate, there is no danger of injury due to waving the cut of the sheet metal.

(B) According to the second aspect of the invention, the left and right edges are folded to form a frame structure, thereby increasing the commercial value of the cover plate, and the upper and lower ends of the free end are formed. Since it is in contact with the upper and lower edges, the appearance is good, and there is no danger of injury to the hand or the like at the upper and lower ends of the folded portion.

(C) According to the third aspect of the present invention, small holes are arranged on the substrate in a well-designed manner to provide an aesthetic appearance, not to impede ventilation, and to be convenient for hanging using a hook. Available to
