Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bookshelf which can prevent a book having a cover facing forward on a top surface of a shelf board from slipping forward.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a normal book shelf in which a plurality of upper and lower shelves are laid horizontally between left and right side plates, a spine of a book is placed on a shelf plate facing forward. Is common.

[0003]

In order to appeal the contents of the book, it is effective to place the book with the front cover facing forward and leaning on the upper surface of the shelf plate and the back plate.

[0004] However, when the front cover is placed on a normal bookshelf, there is a problem that the book slips off the upper surface of the shelf even with a slight swing of the bookshelf.

In order to solve this problem, it has been considered to provide an upward stopper piece for preventing slippage on the upper surface of the shelf board. However, in this case, the normal spine is placed forward. The stopper piece hinders the placement.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a simple anti-slip means is provided on the upper surface of a shelf so that a book can be placed with its cover facing forward. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bookshelf in which a normal placement mode with the spine facing forward can be performed without any trouble.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a book shelf according to the present invention is provided with a backing plate for preventing a book from moving rearward near a shelf plate. In front of the front end of the backing plate on the upper surface, there is provided a concave groove facing in the left-right direction, the concave groove can receive a lower edge of the book in the width direction, and a supporting member having a non-slip means on the upper surface. It is characterized by being fitted. According to the book shelf having the above configuration, when the lower end edge in the width direction of the book is supported by the upper surface of the support member, the book is locked by the non-slip means. Is prevented.

[0008] In the above bookshelf, it is preferable that the anti-slip means is formed of any one of a concave strip, a large number of concave and convex strips, a large number of small projections, and a rubber plate. In this case, any of the slip prevention means can be formed relatively easily and inexpensively, and the effect of the slip prevention is great.

In the above-mentioned bookshelf, it is preferable that the upper end of the non-slip means is equal to or lower than the upper surface of the shelf. This makes it possible to normally place the book with the spine facing forward on the shelf board.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a bookshelf of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged vertical sectional side view taken along the line II-II of FIG. Two front and rear back plates 4 and 4 are fixed to an intermediate portion of the front and rear direction between the side plates 3, and between the front and rear side plates 2 and the intermediate side plate 3 of each back plate 4, By mounting a plurality of shelves 5 in an upwardly inclined shape, the book B can be stored from both front and rear surfaces.

At the upper portion between the side plates 2 and the intermediate side plate 3, wide shelves 6, 6 also serving as a top plate are arranged so that the center of the lower surface thereof is in contact with the upper ends of the front and rear back plates 4. Installed. At the center of the upper end between the side plates 2 and the intermediate side plate 3, elongated flat plate-like backing plates 7, 7 are attached.

The left and right recessed grooves 8 formed at the front and rear ends of the upper surface of the upper shelves 6 support the lower end of the book B on which the cover is placed outward, that is, forward and rearward. A support member 9 for preventing the slide member 6 from slipping off the shelf 6 is fitted.

As shown in FIG. 3, the support member 9 has a vertical dimension substantially equal to the depth of the groove 8, and has a V-shaped sliding surface with a flat bottom surface on the upper surface. A recess 10 as a stopper is formed over the entire length in the left-right direction.

The lower half of the support member 9 has a pair of foot pieces 11, which are elastically deformable in the front-rear direction with both front and rear surfaces being serrated.
By having both of the foot pieces 11 bent into the recess 8 while slightly bending them inward, a strong retaining is achieved.

The support member 9 is made of, for example, aluminum or an alloy thereof, a synthetic resin, or the like, which can be easily extruded.

As shown in FIG. 2, the back of the book B is leaned on the backing plate 7 at an angle, and the lower end of the hard cover on the back is
As shown in FIG. 3, the lower end of the book B is locked by abutting the front surface of the concave stripe 10 of the support member 9 to prevent the book B from slipping off the shelf 6. In the above embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the concave streak 10 may be an arc shape.

In the above embodiment, since the support member 9 is flush with the upper surface of the shelf plate 6, as shown in FIG. 2, a normal placement mode in which the spine of the book B faces forward does not hinder. Can be taken.

FIGS. 4 to 6 show modified examples of the support member. The support member 12 shown in FIG.
On the upper surface, which has almost the same shape as
It is formed in a large number in the left-right direction, and the frictional force prevents the book from slipping.

The support member 14 shown in FIG.
Instead of 3, a large number of small projections 15 are provided on the upper surface so that the book can be prevented from slipping by the frictional force.

The support member 16 shown in FIG. 6 has a rubber plate 17 having a large coefficient of friction adhered to the upper surface thereof, and the frictional force prevents the book from slipping.

The tops of the projections and depressions 13 and the small projections 15 on the support members 12, 14, and 16 and the upper surface of the rubber plate 17 do not protrude from the upper surface of the shelf plate 6.
As described above, a normal placement mode with the spine facing forward can be adopted.

In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the uppermost shelf plate 6 is provided with the support members 9, 12, 14, and 16.
Needless to say, a support member may be provided on the lower shelf 5 as well. In addition, the present invention can be applied to an upright type bookshelf in which the back plate is vertical and the shelves in each step are horizontal.

Although the support member has the foot piece 11, a support member having a rectangular cross section without the foot piece 11 may be simply pressed into the concave groove 8 and fixed.

[0024]

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

(A) According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the lower edge of the book is supported by being prevented from slipping forward by the non-slip means on the upper surface of the support member, the book cover can be moved forward. There is no danger of slipping forward even if it is placed on a shelf board toward.

(B) According to the invention described in claim 2, the book can be effectively prevented from slipping by any of the slip preventing means, and both can be formed relatively simply and inexpensively. Can be.

(C) According to the third aspect of the present invention, no projection is formed on the upper surface of the shelf plate, so that a normal placement form with the spine of the book facing forward can be adopted without any trouble. .
