Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a joining structure for members, which is particularly suitable for application to furniture products.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are various means for connecting one member, which is a constituent element of furniture products and other products, to another member, and one member is often used as a backing member. There is one in which these other members are fastened to the backing member by sandwiching them with. In particular, when the backing member has a function as a nut, it is possible to connect one member to another member by inserting a bolt into the other member and screwing the bolt into the backing member.

[0003]

When the above means is taken and the mounting position of another member with respect to one member is to be changed, the backing member is moved in response to the change of the position of the other member. The need arises. However, it is often difficult to move the backing member to an appropriate position. In particular, if the backing member is arranged on the back side or inside of a member that is difficult for humans to reach, it is difficult to operate the backing member, so that one member and another member are connected. It becomes an obstacle.

As an example, it is considered that a desktop panel, a curtain plate, or a panel that also serves as these is attached along each side of the desk except for the side on the use end side of the desk.
Usually, such a panel is attached by interposing a bracket on the top plate or legs. When a backing member is arranged at a required portion of the panel and the backing member and the bracket are fastened to join the panel and the bracket together, if the mounting height of the panel is to be adjusted, the backing member is required. Need to move in the height direction.
However, if the backing member is to be moved in the height direction, the backing member is naturally in a state where it can fall. Therefore, if the backing member is arranged at a position that is difficult to operate from the outside, it will be difficult to move it to an appropriate position, and this will hinder the work of connecting the panel and the bracket. .

In view of the above problems, according to the present invention, the positioning of the backing member can be easily carried out when one member and the other member are joined together by using a backing member such as a nut. The realization of such a structure of connecting members is an intended problem to be solved.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, a backing member that is movably inserted into an insertion space provided in a first member along a predetermined direction, and the insertion member. A fastening member that fastens the backing member and the second member with the circumferential wall interposed therebetween through an opening provided in the circumferential wall forming a space, and is provided on the outer surface of the circumferential wall and the second member. A first coupling member and a second coupling member, which are brought into close contact with each other by a coupling surface formed between the first member and the second member, and the second member of the backing member inserted into the insertion space is inserted into the second member. The backing member positioning portion for positioning the relative position with respect to the member is provided to form a coupling structure of members.

With such a structure, even if the relative position of the second member with respect to the first member is changed along the predetermined direction, the backing member can be appropriately adjusted to correspond to the movement of the second member. Can be brought to a position. Therefore, the work of joining the members becomes easy.

In order to enable the positioning of the backing member with a simple structure, the backing member positioning portion abuts on the backing member to inhibit movement of the backing member in at least one direction. The thing which has a contact surface can be mentioned. At this time, a projecting portion may be formed on the second member and an appropriate surface of this projecting portion may be used as an abutting surface. The projecting portion may be formed on the backing member and an appropriate portion of the second member may be formed. Alternatively, a contact surface that contacts the protruding portion of the backing member may be set. It is desirable that the abutting surface is configured to be substantially perpendicular to the moving direction of the backing member.

If the backing member is provided with a projection, and the backing member positioning portion is provided with a recessed portion that engages with the projection and a contact surface is set in the recessed portion, the backing member It is possible to prevent the member from moving in one direction and to position the backing member in a direction perpendicular to the one direction.

In addition, a position provisional deciding means for locating the relative position of the first member with respect to the second member is provided, and the backing member locating portion is constructed by utilizing the position tentative determining means. Thus, the positioning of the backing member and the positioning of the first member and the second member can be performed by one structure, and the work of connecting the members can be facilitated even though the structure is simple. .

As a specific configuration example, the position provisional locating means engages a protrusion protruding from the second member with a recess provided in a peripheral wall on the back side of the backing member in the insertion space. Can be mentioned. The protrusion has an abutment surface that abuts the backing member and prohibits the backing member from moving in at least one direction. Moreover, by providing a plurality of the recesses intermittently along the movement direction of the backing member, it is possible to select at least one of the recesses and insert the protrusion. Therefore, the relative position of the first member with respect to the second member can be moved stepwise.

Alternatively, the backing member is inserted into the insertion space provided in the first member so as to be movable along a predetermined direction, and the backing member is provided through an opening provided in the peripheral wall forming the insertion space. A fastening means for fastening the member and the second member with the peripheral wall sandwiched therebetween, and the outer surface of the peripheral wall and the coupling surface provided on the second member are brought into close contact with each other, and the first member and A member for connecting the second member, wherein a backing member positioning portion for positioning the position of the backing member inserted into the insertion space is provided on a peripheral wall on the back side of the backing member in the insertion space. It may be a bond structure. At this time, the backing member positioning portion may engage with the backing member to perform relative positioning of the backing member with respect to the first member. The member may be positioned relative to the first member. In addition, in the case of a plurality of recesses provided intermittently along the movement direction of the backing member on the peripheral wall, at least one of the plurality of recesses is selectively used to provide the first stepwise step. It is possible to change the mounting position of the member of the second member with respect to the second member along the moving direction of the backing member.

If the insertion space is a groove having an inner depth portion wider than the opening width, it has a relatively simple shape and can be easily formed by a method such as extrusion molding or sheet metal bending. If the backing member has a width dimension larger than the opening width of the groove, the backing member can slide in the extension direction of the groove but does not escape from the inside of the groove. This works effectively when the backing member is moved to an appropriate position in the insertion space to join the members. Further, the backing member and the above-mentioned concave portion can be hidden by the peripheral wall, and the effect of enhancing the appearance of the product can be obtained. It is preferable that the protrusion or the protrusion penetrates the opening of the groove.

A bolt is preferably used as a fastening means for fastening the second member and the backing member together.
By providing a hole through which the bolt is inserted in the member and a screw hole that engages with the bolt in the backing member, a coupling structure in which the first member and the second member are detachable can be configured. .

With the member connecting structure as described above, the positioning of the backing member in the member connecting operation can be easily performed. Therefore, when the insertion space extends in the direction including the vertical component and the backing member can move in the insertion space in the direction including the vertical component, that is, the backing member falls and is appropriately It is particularly effective to apply the present invention when it is difficult to place it in the position.

As an example of the application of the present invention, it is conceivable that the desktop panel or the curtain plate, or those having both functions, or the partition wall or the panel is attached to an appropriate member. At this time, a panel is used as the first member, and the insertion space is provided in the frame of the panel that is the first member. Moreover, if the second member is provided on a required desk, the panel can be provided substantially vertically along the side of the top plate of the desk.
