Among these metal racks, there is one that supports the shelf boards as follows.

The support is a pipe support, and a shallow annular groove is provided on the outer periphery thereof at a constant pitch in the height direction. On the outer circumference of this strut, a tapered two-divided taper cone is fitted by fitting a protrusion provided on the inner surface of the cone into an annular groove on the outer circumference of the strut, and attached to the outer circumference of the cone at the corner of the shelf plate. The sleeve is fitted to fix the shelf at the desired height.

[0006]

In the rack, the space between the shelves is transparent, and the items placed on the shelves can be seen from the outside. The same applies to the metal rack described above. Ornamental items are supposed to be visible, so there is no problem, but if small items other than those for ornamental purposes are cluttered on the shelves, the appearance is bad.

[0007] In such a case, if the space between the shelves is covered with a curtain, the interior of the room will be clean and comfortable.

However, commercially available racks do not have a curtain mounting portion. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an attachment for mounting a curtain rail so that a slide opening / closing curtain can be mounted on a commercially available rack.

[0009]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides two kinds of curtain attachments.

One of them is that an upper tapered two-divided taper cone is fitted to the outer periphery of the column by engaging a protrusion on the inner surface of the cone with an annular groove provided on the outer periphery of the column, and is attached to a shelf plate on the outer periphery of the cone. It is a curtain attachment with the following structure that is used in an assembling rack that supports a shelf by fitting a taper sleeve. The support arm has a mounting portion that fits in a groove provided in the tapered cone and is sandwiched inside the taper sleeve, and a support arm that rises from the lower end of the mounting portion to the outside of the sleeve through the lower side of the sleeve. A structure that supports the ends of the rails and supports the ends of the curtain rails that are provided along the edges of the shelves.

Also, the end of the curtain rail, which has screws for fastening the first and second plates and the rail holder to each other, is attached to the shelf plate by the fixture and provided along the peripheral edge of the shelf plate to support the rail end. Structure supported by the department.

In this latter attachment, the supporting portions at the rail ends are provided so as to extend to the left and right of the supporting arm, the left and right supporting portions are formed by joints, and the joints of the curtain rail formed by pipes or rods are provided. One in which the end portions are inserted and fitted, one in which one side of the support arm is provided with an L-shaped auxiliary arm along a corner of the shelf plate in plan view, and a support portion for the rail end is provided at the tip of the auxiliary arm, One of the supporting arms is provided with a rail end supporting part with an L-shaped auxiliary arm on one side (either left or right), and a supporting part without an auxiliary arm is provided on the other side. It is conceivable that an adjuster function for shifting the position of the rail holder in the height direction by shifting the fitting position and an adjuster function for adjusting the distance between the hooks of the first and second plates are added. The support portion provided in this attachment is preferably a plug-in type joint.

[0015]

The attachment of the present invention makes it possible to attach the curtain of the slide opening / closing type to the rack in a good appearance and easily.

The attachments are attached to the corners of the rack (shelf plate support portions formed by taper cones and taper sleeves) and the peripheral edge of the shelf plate, and the two attachments are paired to support both ends of the curtain rail. As a result, the curtain rail is erected at a position keeping an appropriate space between the curtain rail and the shelf plate, and the curtain can be suspended by the rail.

A ring-shaped runner is attached to the upper edge of the curtain at an appropriate interval, the runner is slidably fitted to the curtain rail, and then the end of the curtain rail is supported and fixed by an attachment. .

The attachment that can change the fixing position of the support arm in the height direction can adjust the installation height of the curtain rail, and the attachment that can adjust the distance between the hooks of the first and second plates is a shelf board. It is preferable because it can cope with the height change of the edge frame.
