Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、種々のものを整理したり保管したりしておくのに使用されるラックに使用されるラック用連結部材に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、図１２示すような金属製のラックを組み立てる場合には、図１４に示すようなラック用連結部材１００が使用されている。このラック用連結部材１００は、適宜厚さの金属板材をＬ状に形成し、図示のように３箇所に穴１０１を形成したものである。
【０００３】
上記ラック１０２（図１２参照）は、複数の上記ラック用連結部材１００と、長手方向に所定間隔を以って複数の長穴１０３を形成した４本のアングル部材１０４と、長方形状の３枚の棚板部材１０５と、多数のボルト・ナット１０６と、中間棚支持金具１０７と、ゴム製の滑り止め部材１０８とによって図示のように組み立てられる。
【０００４】
この場合、１枚の棚板部材１０５を各アングル部材１０４に取り付ける場合は（図１２、図１３参照）、２枚のラック用連結部材１００と６個のボルト・ナット１０６によってアングル部材１０４に取り付けている。
【０００５】
そのため、棚板部材１０５の各隅部１０９には、リブ部１１０の４箇所に穴
１１１を開けておく必要があり、１枚の棚板部材１０５全体で１６箇所に穴１１１を開けておかねばならなかった。また、ラック用連結部材１００を介して棚板部材１０５をアングル部材１０４に固定するのに３個のボルト・ナット１０６を必要とし、１枚の棚板部材１０５を４本のアングル部材１０４に固定するのに２４個のボルト・ナット１０６を必要とした。
【０００６】
また、図示の例では下段の棚板部材１０５をアングル部材１０４に取り付ける場合、棚板部材１０５の各隅部を各アングル部材１０４の長穴１０３にそれぞれボルト・ナット１０６を通して固定するため、４本のアングル部材１０４に棚板部材１０５を取り付ける時に水平バランスが崩れて固定してしまうことが往々にしてあり、棚板部材１０５を水平にして取り付けるのに手間取ってしまうといった問題があった。
【０００７】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記のような点に鑑みて開発されたものであり、その目的とするところは、ラックを組み立てる時に棚板部材を各支持部材の所定位置に簡単に取り付けできると共に、棚板部材の水平取り付けを容易に行うことができ、かつ、穴加工の数やボルトの使用個数を減らしてラックを迅速に組み立てできるようにしたラック用連結部材を提供することにある。
【０００８】

【００１３】
上記の構成により、本体部１０の両側の係止部１５を支持部材７の両側部に係合させることによって、支持部材７に対してラック用連結部材８の左右方向への傾きを防止できる。また、棚板部材５の隅部５ｂを各突片部１６の上下の水平片部１８の間に係合させて取り付けることができる。また、本体部１０に形成した穴１１にボルト等を通して支持部材７に棚板部材５を上記ボルト等を含む固定具２２で固定することができる。
【００１４】
請求項４記載の本発明のラック用連結部材は、四角形状で棚板部２の周囲に所定幅の帯状のリブ部４を有する棚板部材５の四隅部５ｂの外側に、長手方向に所定間隔を以って複数の穴６を有し上記棚板部材５にそれぞれ係合する支持部材７を配し、各支持部材７を棚板部材５に固定するラック用連結部材８であって、

【００１６】
請求項５記載の本発明のラック用連結部材は、四角形状で棚板部２の周囲に所定幅の帯状のリブ部４を有する棚板部材５の四隅部５ｂの外側に、長手方向に所定間隔を以って複数の穴６を有し上記棚板部材５にそれぞれ係合する横断面Ｌ字状の支持部材７を配し、各支持部材７を棚板部材５に固定するラック用連結部材８であって、
上記した支持部材７の外面部に係合する横断面Ｌ字状の所定長さの本体部１０と、この本体部１０の各面に穿設した穴１１と、本体部１０の上部寄りまたは下部寄りの各側部から側方に突出する片部を屈曲形成して上記支持部材７の両側部に係止する係止部１５と、複数の固定具２２とからなることを特徴とする構成である。
【００１７】
上記の構成により、本体部１０の両側の係止部１５を支持部材７の両側部に係合させることによって、支持部材７に対してラック用連結部材８の左右方向への傾きを防止できる。また、棚板部材５の隅部５ｂを本体部１０の両側の係止部１５の上端に載置させて取り付けることができる。また、本体部１０に形成した穴１１にボルト等を通して支持部材７に棚板部材５を上記ボルト等を含む固定具２２で固定することができる。
【００１８】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態について説明する。
図１は本発明のラック用連結部材８を使用して組み立てたラック１であり、　このラック１は、長方形等の四角形状の棚板部２の周囲に所定幅（上下幅）３の帯状のリブ部４を有する複数の棚板部材５と、長手方向に所定間隔を以って複数の穴（長穴）６を有し上記棚板部材５にそれぞれ係合する横断面Ｌ字状の４本の支持部材７と、各支持部材７を棚板部材５に固定するラック用連結部材８８等によって組み立てられている。棚板部材５の四隅部の角の両側近傍のリブ部４には、ボルトを通す丸穴２４（図２参照）が穿設されている。
【００１９】
そこで、本発明の一例のラック用連結部材８（図２および図３参照）について説明すると、このラック用連結部材８は、金属板部材を成形して図示のような形状に形成したものであり、上記した支持部材７の外面部９に係合する横断面Ｌ字状の所定長さの本体部１０と、この本体部１０の各面１２ａ、１２ｂに穿設した穴１１と、本体部１０の上部寄り並びに下部寄りの各両側部１３から側方に突出する片部１５ａを屈曲形成して上記支持部材７の両側部１４に係止する各係止部１５と、上下の係止部１５の間の本体部１０の側部１３から両側方に突出する突片部１６と、各突片部１６の上端部１７から延設して内側に屈曲形成され上記棚板部材５の上面５ａに係止する水平片部１８と、上記各突片部１６の内側１９に突出して棚板部材５の隅部５ｂの近傍のリブ部４に穿設した穴２０に係止する突部２１と、ボルト・ナットからなる複数（図示の場合は２つ）の固定具２２とからなる。
【００２０】
上記の突部２１は、図示の例では突片部１６の水平片部１８寄りの箇所に矩形状の穴２３を開け、この穴２３からＶ状の頂部が内側に突出するようにして突片部１６に固着してある。勿論、突部２１は、突片部１６に穴２３を開けることなく突片部１６の内側に固着してもよい。
【００２１】
上記したラック用連結部材８を用いて棚板部材５を４本の支持部材７に取り付ける場合は、一例として支持部材７の上端側（または下端側）からラック用連結部材８の両側の各係止部１５を支持部材７の両側部１４に係合させ、支持部材７の外面部９に本体部１０を沿わせて支持部材７の所望位置に移動させる。次に棚板部材５の一隅部を支持部材７に係合するラック用連結部材８の上下の係止部１５の間に、支持部材７の内側から係合させる。この時、棚板部材５の一隅部の上下端（上面５ａおよびリブ部４の下端）は、ラック用連結部材８の上下の係止部１５に案内され、この上下の係止部１５に挟さまれた状態となって位置決めされることになる。また、ラック用連結部材８の突片部１６のそれぞれの突部２１は、棚板部材５の対応する穴２０に係止される。この状態で外側から対応しているラック用連結部材８の穴１１と支持部材７の長穴６および棚板部材５の丸穴２４へと順次ボルト（固定具２２）を通し、棚板部材５の内側からナットをボルトにネジつけて棚板部材５の一隅部を支持部材７の所望位置に固定する。このようにして他の支持部材７に対してもラック用連結部材８を介して棚板部材５の各隅部を固定具２２によって固定する。
【００２２】
このように上記したラック用連結部材８を使用して棚板部材５を支持部材７の所望箇所に取り付ければ、棚板部材５を簡単にかつ迅速に所望位置に取り付けることができる。また、棚板部材５も突片部１６の上側並びに下側に位置する係止部１５に挟まれ、かつ、各突部２１が棚板部材５の対応する穴２０に係止された状態で支持部材７に支持されることになる。そのため、棚板部材５は各隅部で水平を保持でき、棚板部材５を水平に簡単に取り付けできて傾きを生じるといったこともない。またラック用連結部材８の水平片部１８が、棚板部材５に係止された状態となるので、ラック用連結部材８が位置ずれして取り付けされることを防止できる。
【００２３】
図４、図５は、本発明に係る他の例のラック用連結部材８であって、この例のラック用連結部材８は、金属板部材を成形して図示のような形状に形成したものであり、支持部材１０の外面部９に係合する横断面Ｌ字状の所定長さ（例えば数センチ）の本体部１０（アングル形状部分）と、この本体部１０の各面１２ａ、１２ｂに穿設した穴１１と、本体部１０の下部寄りの各両側部から側方に突出する片部１５ａを屈曲形成して上記支持部材７の両側部１４に係止する各係止部１５と、本体部１０の上部寄りの側部から両側方に突出する突片部１６と、各突片部１６の上端部から延設して内側に屈曲形成し上記棚板部材５の上面５ａおよびリブ部４の下端に係止する水平片部１８と、上記各突片部１６に穿設して棚板部材５の隅部５ｂの近傍のリブ部４に設けた係止突起２６を係止する係止穴２７と、複数の固定具（図示省略）とからなる。
【００２４】
また、この例で上記係止突起２６は、図６、図７に示すように所定長さの帯状金属板を９０度に折曲して形成した受金部材２８の両端近傍の上端寄りに開口２９を形成し、この開口２９に内側から外側に頂部３０が突出するようにして上記受金部材２８に固着したものである。上記した受金部材２８には、固定具（図示省略）であるボルトを挿入するための穴３１が２箇所に形成されている。なお、係止突起２６は、棚板部材５の隅部５ｂの近傍のリブ部４に直接固着してもよい。
【００２５】
上記したラック用連結部材８を用いて棚板部材５を４本の支持部材７に取り付ける場合は、先に説明した例と同様に先ず支持部材７の上端側（または下端側）からラック用連結部材８の各係止部１５を支持部材７の両側部１４に係合させ、支持部材７の外面部９に本体部１０を沿わせて支持部材７の所望位置に移動させる。
【００２６】
次に棚板部材５の一隅部を、支持部材７の所定位置に取り付けたラック用連結部材８の上下の水平片部１８の間に、支持部材７の内側から係合させる。
そして受金部材２８を棚板部材５の内側から隅部に沿って押し当て、受金部材２８に固着した係止突起２６を、棚板部材５のリブ部４の穴２０、支持部材７の長穴６を介して、ラック用連結部材８の係止穴２７にはめ込む。
【００２７】
この状態で外側から、合致しているラック用連結部材８の穴１１と支持部材７の長穴６および棚板部材５の丸穴２４、受金部材２８の穴３１へと順次ボルト（固定具２２）を通し、棚板部材５の内側からナットをボルトにネジつけて棚板部材５の一隅部を支持部材７の所望位置に固定する。このようにして他の支持部材７に対してもラック用連結部材８および受金部材２８を介して棚板部材５の各隅部を固定具２２によって固定する。
【００２８】
このように上記した例のラック用連結部材８を使用して棚板部材５を支持部材７の所望箇所に取り付けても、棚板部材５を簡単にかつ迅速に所望位置に取り付けることができ、また、棚板部材５も上下の水平片部１８に挟まれた状態となって確実に水平に保持でき、他の箇所の支持部材７に取り付けられる棚板部材５の隅部との間でねじれを生じるといったこともない。また上下の水平片部１８が、棚板部材５の上面５ａおよびリブ部４の下端に係止された状態となるので、ラック用連結部材８が単独で位置ずれしてしまうといったこともない。
【００２９】
図８、図９は、本発明に係る他の例のラック用連結部材８であって、この例のラック用連結部材８は、金属板部材を成形して図示のような形状に形成したものであり、支持部材１０の外面部９に係合する横断面Ｌ字状の所定長さ（例えば数センチ）の本体部１０（アングル形状部分）と、この本体部１０の各面１２ａ、１２ｂに穿設した穴１１と、棚板部材２のリブ部４の上下幅３に相当する間隔を以って本体部１０の上部寄り並びに下部寄りの各側部から側方に突出する片部１５ａを屈曲形成して上記支持部材７の両側部１４に係止する係止部１５と、複数の固定具２２とからなる。
【００３０】
この例のラック用連結部材８を用いて棚板部材５を４本の支持部材７に取り付ける場合は、上記した例と同様に一例として支持部材７の上端側（または下端側）からラック用連結部材８の各係止部１５を支持部材７の両側部１４に係合させ、支持部材７の外面部９に本体部１０を沿わせて支持部材７の所望位置に移動させる。
【００３１】
次に棚板部材５の一隅部を支持部材７に係合するラック用連結部材８の上下の係止部１５の間に、支持部材７の内側から係合させる。この時、棚板部材５の一隅部の上下端（上面５ａおよびリブ部４の下端）は、ラック用連結部材８の上下の係止部１５に挟さまれた状態となって位置決めされることになる。
【００３２】
この状態で外側から対応しているラック用連結部材８の穴１１と支持部材７の長穴６および棚板部材５の丸穴２４へと順次ボルト（固定具２２）を通し、棚板部材５の内側からナットをボルトにネジつけて棚板部材５の一隅部を支持部材７の所望位置に固定する。このようにして他の支持部材７に対してもラック用連結部材８を介して棚板部材５の各隅部を固定具２２によって固定する。
【００３３】
このようにこの例のラック用連結部材８を使用して棚板部材５を支持部材７の所望箇所に取り付けても、棚板部材５を簡単にかつ迅速に所望位置に取り付けることができ、また、棚板部材５も上下の係止部１５に挟まれて位置決めしやすく、棚板部材５の水平を保持しやすく、他の箇所の支持部材７に取り付けられる隅部との間でねじれを生じて傾くといったことがない。
【００３４】
図１０、図１１は、本発明に係るまた別の例のラック用連結部材８であって、この例のラック用連結部材８は、金属板部材を成形して図示のような形状に形成したものであり、支持部材１０の外面部９に係合する横断面Ｌ字状の所定長さ（例えば数センチ）の本体部１０（アングル形状部分）と、この本体部１０の各面１２ａ、１２ｂに穿設した穴１１と、本体部１０の上部寄りまたは下部寄り（この例では下部寄り）の各側部から側方に突出する片部１５ａを屈曲形成して上記支持部材７の両側部１４に係止する係止部１５と、複数の固定具（図示省略）とからなる。
【００３５】
この例のラック用連結部材８は、主にラック１の上端部に取り付ける棚板部材５を４本の支持部材７に取り付ける場合に使用する。勿論、支持部材７の他の箇所に棚板部材５を取り付けるのに使用してもよい。
【００３６】
すなわち、棚板部材５を４本の支持部材７の上端部に取り付ける場合は、支持部材７の上端側（または下端側）からラック用連結部材８の両側の係止部１５を支持部材７の両側部１４に係合させ、支持部材７の外面部９に本体部１０を沿わせて支持部材７の上端部に移動させる。
【００３７】
次に棚板部材５の一隅部５ｂを、支持部材７に係合するラック用連結部材８の係止部１５の上端に、支持部材７の内側から載置する。このことにより棚板部材５は、水平状態に位置決めされ支持されることになる。
【００３８】
この状態で外側から対応しているラック用連結部材８の穴１１と支持部材７の長穴６（図１参照）、棚板部材５の丸穴２４へと順次ボルト（固定具２２）を通し、棚板部材５の内側からナットをボルトにネジつけて棚板部材５の一隅部を支持部材７の上端部に固定する。このようにして他の支持部材７に対してもラック用連結部材８を介して、棚板部材５の各隅部を支持部材７の上端部に固定具２２（図１参照）で固定する。
【００３９】
このようにこの例のラック用連結部材８を使用して棚板部材５を支持部材７の上端部に取り付けても、棚板部材５を簡単にかつ迅速に所望位置に取り付けることができ、また、棚板部材５も係止部１５に支持されることによって、棚板部材５の水平を保持しやすく、他の箇所の支持部材７に取り付けられる隅部との間で捩れを生じるといったこともない。
【００４０】
