Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pillar structure for rotatably supporting two panels, a heating equipment guard using the pillar structure, and a flower stand.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A heating device guard for covering a heating device such as a fan heater with a panel to ensure safety is generally known. In the case of a heating device that burns kerosene, it is often installed along the wall surface of the room because it is necessary to exhaust the air to the outside of the room. In this case, the heating device guard is configured by covering at least the front surface and both side surfaces of the heating device with panels. These panels have their joints fixed by fixing brackets.

[0003]

However, in the case of the heating equipment guard having the above-mentioned structure, since the panel is fixed by the fixing metal fitting, it is not easy to assemble it and it is not easy to disassemble and store it.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and provides a pillar structure in which panels can be easily assembled and can be easily folded and stored, and a heating equipment guard and a flower stand using the pillar structure. The purpose is to provide.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the strut structure according to the first invention is a strut structure for rotatably supporting two adjacent panels, and a strut from the end of the panel. And a receiving portion that is attached to the support column portion and that is fitted into the folding portion to rotatably support the panel.

With the above structure, the two adjacent panels can be rotatably supported by inserting the folded-back portion into the receiving portion of the column from above.

A strut structure according to a second invention is the strut structure according to the first invention, wherein the folded-back portion and the receiving portion are provided between one of the two panels and the strut portion, and the two strut structures are provided. It is characterized in that the other side of the panel is provided with an extending portion extending from the end portion of the panel toward the strut portion, and the strut portion is provided with an insertion hole into which the extending portion is inserted.

With the above structure, one panel is rotatably supported by the support by inserting the folded-back portion into the receiving portion of the support from above. In addition, the other panel is fixed to the support by inserting the extension into the insertion hole of the support.

A pillar structure according to a third invention is characterized in that, in the pillar structure according to the first or second invention, the pillar portion is made of wood.

With the above construction, since the corner portions of the two panels are covered with the wooden columns, the safety is improved and
It looks good.

A heating device guard according to a fourth aspect of the present invention includes a front panel that covers the front surface of the heating device, side panels that cover both sides of the heating device, and support the front panel and each side panel so that they can be opened and closed. The pillar structure according to any one of 1 to 3 is provided.

With the above structure, the front panel and the side panel are supported by the strut structure to form a heating device guard, and when used for a heating device, each side panel is expanded to cover the periphery of the heating device. If not, fold each side panel to the front panel side to make it smaller and store. Further, since the corners of the front panel and the side panel are covered with the wooden columns, the safety is improved and the appearance is improved.

The heating equipment guard according to the fifth aspect of the present invention is the fourth aspect.
In the heating equipment guard according to the invention, a leg bar that is inserted into the lower side of the heating equipment in a state of being hung on each side panel is provided, and a horizontal bar that hangs the leg bar is provided at the bottom of each side panel, The front end portion of the horizontal bar is raised.

With the above structure, the leg bar is inserted from the front side to the lower side of the heating device in a state of being hung on each side panel, and the heating device guard is fixed to the heating device. Furthermore, since the horizontal bar on which the leg bar is hung is raised at the front end of the heating device guard, the leg bar cannot be hung on this front end, and the heating device is inevitably vacated from the heating device guard at regular intervals. . This allows the front panel to be spaced a sufficient distance from the heating device. In particular, in the case of a fan heater, there is a warm air outlet on the front surface, but since a certain interval can be provided from the warm air outlet, sufficient safety can be maintained.

The heating device guard according to the sixth aspect of the present invention is the fifth aspect.
In the heating device guard according to the invention, the horizontal bar is raised at a portion up to 180 mm from the front end thereof.

With the above structure, the horizontal bar on which the leg bar is hung is raised up to 180 mm from the front end of the heating device guard, so that the leg bar inserted under the heating device cannot be hung at this part. Inevitably, the heating equipment is spaced 180 mm from the heating equipment guard. This allows you to keep a sufficient distance from the heating device,
You can keep enough safety. The interval of 180 mm is a numerical value set in consideration of the performance of various heating devices and fan heaters. If you leave this distance,
It is possible to eliminate the influence of heat and warm air.

A flower stand according to a seventh aspect of the invention is characterized in that it is constructed by using the strut structure according to any one of the first to third aspects.

With the above structure, two adjacent panels can be rotatably supported, and when not in use, they are folded and stored. If used, open the panel and attach the shelf to form a flower stand. The corners of this flower stand are covered with wooden columns, improving safety and
It looks good.
