【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、通信機器等を収納する機器収納用ラック同士をポストで連結するための連結金具に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に機器収納用ラック同士を連結する場合には連結金具が用いられている。連結金具はクランク状に折曲形成した2つの板状部材で成り、一方の端部に機器収納用ラックのポストに固定するためのネジが挿通するネジ挿通孔が穿設され、他方の端部に連結金具同士を固定するためのボルトが挿通するボルト挿通孔が穿設されている。機器収納用ラックの連結は、この連結金具を隣接した2つの機器収納用ラックのポストに夫々螺着固定し、両方の連結金具にボルトを挿通させてナットで締め付け固定することにより行っていた(例えば、非特許文献1参照。)。
【0003】
【非特許文献1】
“カワムラ ラックカタログ No.7 改訂版”、河村電器産業株式会社、2002年5月10日、p.127−130
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来の連結金具では機器収納用ラックの内部に機器を収納した状態でネジの締め付けに必要なスペースを確保するのが困難であり、ネジやボルトの締め付けに時間がかかり、また、ネジやボルトやナットを紛失することもあるので作業性が悪く、ドライバーやレンチ等の工具を用意しなければならないので手間が掛かっていた。
【0005】
そこで上記問題点に鑑み、本発明の目的は、工具を使用することなく簡単に連結ができる機器収納用ラックの連結金具を提供することである。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、隣接した2つの機器収納用ラックの双方のポストに嵌まるコ字状部の一方端に一方の機器収納用ラックのポストに穿設した係止孔に係止する鉤部が形成され、他方端に他方の機器収納用ラックのポストに穿設した係止孔と対向する透孔が穿設され、透孔を有する側のコ字状部の端部に案内部が透孔の開口方向に延設された本体金具と、本体金具の案内部の端部に回動可能に設けられるレバー金具と、レバー金具の回動動作に連動してリンク板を介して本体金具の案内部に沿ってスライドし、本体金具の透孔と他方の機器収納用ラックの係止孔に挿抜され、且つポストを押圧して本体金具とで2本のポストを挟持するスライド金具と、スライド金具が本体金具の透孔と他方の機器収納用ラックの係止孔に挿入した状態でレバー金具の回動をロックするロック金具とで構成したことを特徴とする。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
連結金具は、隣接した2つの機器収納用ラックの双方のポストに嵌まるコ字状部の一方端に一方の機器収納用ラックのポストに穿設した係止孔に係止する鉤部が形成され、他方端に他方の機器収納用ラックのポストに穿設した係止孔と対向する透孔が穿設され、透孔を有する側のコ字状部の端部に案内部が透孔の開口方向に延設された本体金具と、本体金具の案内部の端部に回動可能に設けられるレバー金具と、レバー金具の回動動作に連動してリンク板を介して本体金具の案内部に沿ってスライドし、本体金具の透孔と他方の機器収納用ラックの係止孔に挿抜され、且つポストを押圧して本体金具とで2本のポストを挟持するスライド金具と、スライド金具が本体金具の透孔と他方の機器収納用ラックの係止孔に挿入した状態でレバー金具の回動をロックするロック金具とで構成する。
【0008】
【実施例】
本発明に係る機器収納用ラックの連結金具の実施例を図1〜図4の添付図面に基づいて説明する。
【0009】
図示しないが通信機器等を収納するための機器収納用ラックは天板と底板とを4本のポストによって連結した構造に成っている。
【0010】
この機器収納用ラックを並設した際に機器収納用ラック同士を連結するために用いられる連結金具1は、本体金具2と、レバー金具3と、リンク板4と、スライド金具5と、ロック金具6とで構成している。
【0011】
本体金具2は、隣接した2つの機器収納用ラックの双方のポスト7,8に嵌まるように板状部材を略コ字状に折曲形成したコ字状部2aの一方端に一方の機器収納用ラックのポスト7に穿設した係止孔7aに係止する鉤部2bが形成され、他方端に他方の機器収納用ラックのポスト8に穿設した係止孔8aと対向する透孔2cが穿設され、透孔2cを有する側のコ字状部2aの端部に案内部2dが透孔2cの開口方向に向けて延設されている。
【0012】
レバー金具3は本体金具2の案内部2dの端部にリベット9等で取り付けられて水平方向に回動可能に設けられている。リンク板4は一端がレバー金具3に、他端がスライド金具5の端部にリベット10,11等で取り付けられ、スライド金具5は本体金具2の案内部2dに沿ってスライドし、舌片部5aが本体金具2の透孔2cと他方の機器収納用ラック8の係止孔8aに挿抜されるように配置されている。また、舌片部5aの上下に張設された腕部5bはポスト8を押圧するようになっている。
【0013】
ロック金具6は、先端部に係止溝6aが形成されて成り、本体金具2のコ字状部2aの略中央にリベット12等で取り付けられ、垂直方向に回動可能に設けられている。
【0014】
次に、連結金具1の使用方法について説明する。まず、隣接して設置された機器収納用ラックの双方のポスト7,8に本体金具2のコ字状部2aを嵌め込み、そして鉤部2bを一方の機器収納用ラックの係止孔7aに係止させる。
【0015】
それから、レバー金具3を図1の矢印A方向に回動させるとリンク板4を介してスライド金具5が連動し、本体金具2の案内部2dに沿って矢印B方向にスライドして舌片部5aが本体金具2の透孔2cと他方の機器収納用ラックの係止孔8aに挿入する。同時にスライド金具5の腕部5bは他方の機器収納用ラックのポスト8を押圧し、本体金具2の鉤部2bが設けられた片と対になって2つのポスト7,8を挟持する。
【0016】
この状態でロック金具6を図4の矢印C方向に回動させ、レバー金具3の先端部から外側方向に折曲形成した把手片3aにロック金具6の係止溝6aを上側から嵌め込むことにより、レバー金具3は回動できないようにロックされる。
【0017】
以上の手順でポストの数カ所を連結金具で連結することにより、機器収納用ラックを連結することができる。
【0018】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように隣接した2つの機器収納用ラックの双方のポストに嵌まるコ字状部の一方端に一方の機器収納用ラックのポストに穿設した係止孔に係止する鉤部が形成され、他方端に他方の機器収納用ラックのポストに穿設した係止孔と対向する透孔が穿設され、透孔を有する側のコ字状部の端部に案内部が透孔の開口方向に延設された本体金具と、本体金具の案内部の端部に回動可能に設けられるレバー金具と、レバー金具の回動動作に連動してリンク板を介して本体金具の案内部に沿ってスライドし、本体金具の透孔と他方の機器収納用ラックの係止孔に挿抜され、且つポストを押圧して本体金具とで2本のポストを挟持するスライド金具と、スライド金具が本体金具の透孔と他方の機器収納用ラックの係止孔に挿入した状態でレバー金具の回動をロックするロック金具とで構成したことにより、工具を使用することなく簡単に連結ができるという効果がある。
