Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、一対の起立壁を有する第１部材を、前記起立壁の起立方向に対向する第２部材の取付面部に取り付ける際に適用される部材の取付構造に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、例えば天板付き家具等の家具において、天板を支持する一対の支持部材と、支持部材間に架け渡す横架材とを取り付ける際には、角パイプ状をなす横架材の両端を、支持部材の内側面に設けた突出部に挿入し、ねじ止めすることにより行われている（例えば特許文献１参照）。また、角パイプ状をなす横架材を、支持部材の上面部に載置し、この上面部と、上面部から離間する横架材の上壁とをねじ部材を用いて締め付ける態様も考えられる。
【０００３】

【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、前者の取付構造は、横架材を支持部材に嵌合するため、取り付けた状態において両部材間に少なくとも若干の隙間が形成され多少のガタが生じるという不具合がある。また、後者の取付構造は、支持部材の上面部と、上面部から離間する上壁を締め付ける構成であるため、その締付力が上壁を上面部側へ引寄せる方向に沿って作用し、上壁が撓み易いという不具合が生じる。その結果、十分な締付力を得られず両部材の確実な固定を図ることが難しいものである。また、壁に設けるねじ孔の加工誤差などによって、両部材の連結状態に多少のガタが生じる場合がある。
【０００５】
本発明は、このような課題に着目してなされたものであって、主たる目的は、一対の起立壁を有する第１部材を、前記起立壁の起立方向に対向する第２部材の取付面部に突き当てて取り付ける際に、十分な締付力が得られ、かつ、各部材の一部を確実に押圧状態で接触させ結合し、ガタつきのない良好な取付状態を実現する部材の取付構造を提供することにある。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
すなわち、本発明の部材の取付構造は、一対の起立壁を有する第１部材を、前記起立壁の起立方向に対向する第２部材の取付面部に突き当てて取り付ける際に適用される部材の取付構造であって、前記起立壁間に架け渡す架材と前記取付面部とを互いに相寄る方向に引き寄せる引寄手段によって、前記起立壁の起立方向への圧縮強度を利用して前記第１部材を前記第２部材に取り付けることを特徴とする。
【０００７】
このようなものであれば、引寄手段により第１部材と第２部材とを引寄せる操作力が、架材を介して起立壁が起立方向に沿って圧縮力として作用することになるため、例えば第２部材の取付面部から離れた位置にある第１部材の所定の面を取付面側へ引寄せる方向に沿って操作力が作用する従来の取付構造と比較して、操作時に前記所定の面が取付面側に撓むことがなく、有効な取付強度を得ることができる。しかも、起立壁と取付面部とを押圧した状態で接触させることが可能になり、第１部材と第２部材との間に隙間が生じてガタつきが発生する要因が排除され、良好な取付状態を実現することができる。
【０００８】
具体的な実施態様としては、前記第１部材が、前記一対の起立壁の一端部同士を接続する接続壁を有するものであり、当該接続壁と前記取付面部とを当接または近接させるように前記第１部材と前記第２部材とを突き当てて、前記引寄手段の引寄力により前記起立壁の一端部及び接続壁と前記取付面部とが押圧状態で接触するように前記第１部材を前記第２部材に取り付けるようにしたものが挙げられる。
【０００９】
また、他の具体的な実施態様としては、前記第１部材が、前記一対の起立壁の一端部同士を接続する接続壁を有するものであり、起立壁の他端部と前記取付面部とを当接または近接させるように前記第１部材と前記第２部材とを突き当てて、前記引寄手段の引寄力により前記起立壁の他端部と前記取付面部とが押圧状態で接触するように前記第１部材を前記第２部材に取り付けるようにしたものが挙げられる。
【００１０】
特に、前記一対の起立壁の間において前記接続壁から起立壁と同一方向に起立する中間壁を設け、当該中間壁及び起立壁間に貫通孔又は切欠きを設け、貫通孔又は切欠きを利用して中間壁及び起立壁に架け渡す前記架材を用いた前記引寄手段によって、前記起立壁及び中間壁の起立方向への圧縮強度を利用して前記第１部材を前記第２部材に取り付けるようにしたものであれば、起立壁に加えて中間壁も取付面部に押圧結合することが可能になり、より強固な取付状態を実現することができる。この場合、例えば、前記架材を、中間壁を貫通して起立壁間に架け渡すようにすれば、第１部材の高さ寸法を小さく抑えることが可能である。
【００１１】
また、引寄手段の一例としては、前記架材と前記取付面部とをねじ送り機構を利用して引寄せ締め付けるものが挙げられる。
【００１２】
部品点数の削減を図り、取付作業を簡便に行うためには、前記引寄手段が、前記架材と前記取付面部とのいずれか一方に設けたねじ挿通孔にねじ部材を挿通させ、他方に設けたねじ孔に前記ねじ部材を螺合させることにより架材と取付面部とを引寄せるものであることが好ましい。
【００１３】
また、前記第１部材及び前記第２部材が家具を構成する部材であって、第２部材が天板の両側端部を支持する支持部材であり、第１部材が支持部材間に架け渡される横架材であれば本発明に係る取付構造を好適に適用することができる。その場合、前記取付面部が支持部材の上面部であることが好ましい。
【００１４】
他方、前記第１部材及び前記第２部材が家具を構成する部材であって、第２部材が天板であり、第１部材が天板の下面に配置される横架材であっても本発明に係る取付構造を好適に適用することができる。その場合、前記取付面部が前記天板の下面部であることが望ましい。
【００１５】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の一実施形態を、図面を参照して説明する。
【００１６】
本発明に係る部材の取付構造は、例えば図１に示す家具であるデスクＴに適用されるものである。
【００１７】
デスクＴは、図１に示すように、主として、天板１と、天板１を支持する支持部材たる脚フレーム２及び袖３と、脚フレーム２と袖３との間に架け渡され天板１を支持する本発明の第１部材たる横架材４とを具備するものであり、使用態様に応じて種々のオプション部材を取付可能に構成したものである。なお、以下の説明において、「正面視」とは同図におけるＸ方向の視点であり、「平面視」とは同図におけるＹ方向の視点であり、「側面視」とは同図におけるＺ方向の視点である。
【００１８】
天板１は、図１又は図２に示すように、木材やスチール等の一般的な天板に適用される素材によって形成された所定の厚みを有する平面視略矩形状の天板本体１１と、天板本体１１の下面部１１ａにおいて長手方向に沿う方向に設けた一対のブラケット１２とを備えたものである。ブラケット１２は、例えば一枚の板金素材を側面視略下向きＬ字形状に折り曲げ成形したものであり、天板本体１１の下面部１１ａに対して略平行をなす水平片と、水平片に対して略直角に垂下する垂下片とを一体に有する。この垂下片には、後述する横架材４の起立壁４１及び中間壁４３と同様に、複数の係合孔１２ａを長手方向に沿って形成してある（図２参照）。このような構成を有するブラケット１２を適宜の固定手段を用いて天板本体１１の下面部１１ａに固定している。また、天板本体１１の下面部１１ａであって、かつブラケット１２の取付位置近傍箇所に、後述するねじ部材Ｂがねじ合わせ可能なねじ孔（図示省略）を下方に開口するように複数設けている。
【００１９】
脚フレーム２は、図１〜図４等に示すように、一対の脚支柱２１と、脚支柱２１の上端部間に架け渡す連結材２２と、脚支柱２１と連結材２２とをコーナー連結する一対のコーナー部材２３とを備えた側面視略Ｈ字形状をなすものである。
脚支柱２１及び連結材２２は、例えばアルミ素材の押し出し成形等により製造される中空部材であり、長手方向の任意の部位で同一の断面形状を有するものである。コーナー部材２３は、例えば中実をなす側面視略横向きＴ字状のものであり、下端部に脚支柱２１を適宜の固定手段により取り付けるとともに、水平方向に突出する突出部２３１に連結材２２を適宜の固定手段により取り付けている。突出部２３１の上面部２３１ａには、後述するねじ部材Ｂとねじ合わせ可能なねじ孔２３１ｂを上方に開口するように設けている。また、連結材２２を挟んで対峙し後述する横架材４の一の起立壁４１が当接または近接し得る各コーナー部材２３の対向面２３２には、一部を窪ませてなる凹部２３２ａを形成している。各脚支柱２１の下端部には高さ調節可能なアジャスタ２１ａを設けている。
【００２０】
袖３は、図１〜図３に示すように、所定の収納空間を有し前面に前記収納空間を外部へ開放し得る開口部を形成した概略箱体状の袖本体３１と、袖本体３１の収納空間内に収納され引出し操作可能な引出し部３２とを具備するものである。
袖本体３１の上面部３１ａの四隅近傍箇所に後述するねじ部材Ｂとねじ合わせ可能なねじ孔（図示省略）を上方に開口するように設けている。なお、上面部３１ａの肉厚が薄い場合には、ねじ孔を有するナットを上面部３１ａに一体的に固設しても構わない。引出し部３２は、上方及び脚フレーム２側の一側方を略全開放したものであり、使用者が引出し部３２の上方のみならず、側方からも引出し部３２に収納され得る書類やボックスファイル等の被収納物の出し入れができるように構成している。
【００２１】
横架材４は、図１〜図６に示すように、例えば一枚の鋼板を塑性変形加工したものであり、天板本体１１の長手寸法と略同一または若干小さい長手寸法を有する長尺のものである。具体的には、一対の起立壁４１の間が接続壁たる底壁４２を介して接続され、さらに、一対の起立壁４１の間において底壁４２より起立壁４１と同一方向に起立する一対の中間壁４３を設け、一対の中間壁４３の間が上壁４４を介して接続された側面視略上向きＭ字形状をなすものであり、起立壁４１と中間壁４３の高さ寸法を略同一に設定している。これら起立壁４１及び中間壁４３は、平行するものであり、横架材４を前記脚フレーム２又は袖３に取り付けた状態において、起立壁４１及び中間壁４３が前記上面部２３１ａ又は上面部３１ａに対して垂直をなすように設定されている。また、起立壁４１及び中間壁４３には、一部を板厚方向に切り開けてなる本発明の貫通孔たる係合孔４ａを長手方向に沿って間欠的に複数形成している。本実施形態においては、係合孔４ａとして、主として後述する挿入架材８が挿入し得る半円弧状の第１係合孔４ａ１と、オプション部材に設けた係合片が係合し得る略矩形状の第２係合孔４ａ２の２種類を適用している。各第２係合孔４ａ２は、長手方向略中央部に開口高さ寸法を大きくなるように設定した部分円弧状の開口部を一体に有している。各係合孔４ａ１、４ａ２は、横架材４の短寸方向（奥行き方向）に連通するように各壁４１、４３の対応する位置にそれぞれ形成されている。また、中間壁４３間を接続する上壁４４の所定箇所には、後述するねじ部材Ｂが通過可能なねじ挿入孔４４ａが形成されている。このねじ挿入孔４４ａの形成位置は、前記第１係合孔４ａ１を形成した位置に略対応している。横架材４の側端部には、図４に示すように、キャップＣが取付可能に構成されている。
【００２２】
また、本実施形態においては、図２又は図３に示すように、オプション部材として、デスクトップパネル５、幕板６及び整理棚７を適用している。
【００２３】
デスクトップパネル５は、天板１の後縁部側に沿って上方に起立する姿勢で取り付けられるものであり、パネル本体５１と、このパネル本体５１の下端部に設けられ横架材４の第２係合孔４ａ２に係合し得る一対の係合片５２とを有するものである。パネル本体５１は、例えば正面視略矩形状の木製板材の表面にクロスを帖着してなり、押しピン等を挿し込む得るいわゆるピンナップボードと呼ばれるものであり、長手寸法を天板本体１１の長手寸法と略同一に設定している。係合片５２は側面視略Ｌ字形状をなし、係合片５２間の離間距離を所定の第２係合孔４ａ２間の離間距離に略対応させている。また、各係合片５２の先端部を正面視略上向き略コ字形状をなすように設定している。
【００２４】
幕板６は、天板１の後縁部側に沿って下方に垂下する姿勢で取付けられるものであり、幕板本体６１と、この幕板本体６１の上端部に設けられ横架材４の第２係合孔４ａ２に係合し得る一対の係合片６２とを有するものである。各係合片５２の先端部は正面視略下向き略コ字形状をなし、係合片６２間の離間距離を所定の第２係合孔４ａ２間の離間距離に略対応させている。
【００２５】
整理棚７は、天板１の後縁部側の下肢空間に配置されるものであり、棚本体７１と、棚本体７１の上端部に設けられ横架材４の第２係合孔４ａ２に係合し得る一対の係合片７２とを備えたものである。棚本体７１は、例えば略鉛直方向に起立する板状の壁体７１１と、壁体７１１の高さ方向所定位置から略水平方向に突出するように取り付けられる複数の棚７１２とを有するものであり、この棚７１２に書類やボックスファイル等を載置できるように設定している。各係合片７２の先端部は正面視略下向き略コ字形状をなし、７２間の離間距離を所定の第２係合孔４ａ２間の離間距離に略対応させている。
【００２６】
しかして、本実施形態においては、図４〜図５（図５は、図３におけるＰ−Ｐ線断面図である）等に示すように、横架材４と、天板１並びに脚フレーム２及び袖３を一体的に取り付けて、デスクＴを組み立てるようにしている。
【００２７】
この取付構造は、前記起立壁４１及び中間壁４３に形成した第１係合孔４ａ１に挿入して架け渡した挿入架材８を用いてなり、この挿入架材８と、脚フレーム２若しくは袖３の上面部２３１ａ、３１ａ、又は天板１の下面部１１ａとを互いに相寄る方向に引き寄せる引寄手段９の引寄力により、横架材４と、脚フレーム２若しくは袖３又は天板１とを起立壁４１及び中間壁４３の起立方向への圧縮強度を利用して押圧結合するものである。なお、ここで、「脚フレーム２の上面部２３１ａ」とは、前記コーナー部材２３の突出部２３１の上面部２３１ａを意味し、「袖３の上面部３１ａ」とは、袖本体３１の上面部３１ａを意味し、「天板１の下面部１１ａ」とは、天板本体１１の下面部１１ａを意味する。以後の説明においても、同義で用いる。脚フレーム２、袖３、天板１が本発明の第２部材に相当し、各上面部２３１ａ、３１ａ、下面部１１ａが本発明の取付面部に相当する。
【００２８】
挿入架材８は、図４又は図５等に示すように、例えば円柱の一部を縦に平面で切断した正面視略半円弧状をなし、その外周面に円柱面部８１と平面部８２とが形成されるように構成した中実ブロック状のものである。そしてその軸に直交するようにねじ部材Ｂのねじ部Ｂ１が挿通し得るねじ挿通孔８ａを平面部８２の略中央部に開口するように貫通させている。
【００２９】
ねじ部材Ｂは、図４又は図５に示すように、雄ねじであるねじ部Ｂ１と、ねじ部Ｂ１よりも径の大きいねじ頭Ｂ２とを有する周知のものであるため、詳細な説明は省略する。なお、横架材４の上壁４４に形成したねじ挿通孔４４ａの径を、ねじ部Ｂ１及びねじ頭Ｂ２が通過できるように設定するとともに、挿入架材８に形成したねじ挿通孔８ａの径を、ねじ部Ｂ１のみが通過できるように設定している。
【００３０】
引寄手段９は、挿入架材８に形成したねじ挿通孔８ａにねじ部材Ｂを挿通し、脚フレーム２若しくは袖３の上面部２３１ａ、３１ａ、又は天板１の下面部１１ａにそれぞれ設けたねじ孔にねじ部材Ｂのねじ部Ｂ１をねじ合わせることにより、挿入架材８と、脚フレーム２若しくは袖３の上面部２３１ａ、３１ａ、又は天板１の下面部１１ａを前記起立壁４１及び中間壁４３の起立方向に引寄可能に構成したものである。
【００３１】
次に、引寄手段９を用いて横架材４と脚フレーム２とを取り付ける手順を図４及び図５を参照して説明する。
【００３２】
先ず、横架材４の一方の起立壁４１と、前記コーナー部材２３の対向面２３２とを当接または近接させるようにして、コーナー部材３２の突出部２３１の上面部２３１ａに横架材４の一側端部を載置する。その際、横架材４の上壁４４に形成したねじ挿通孔４４ａと、前記上面部２３１ａに設けたねじ孔２３１ｂとを略一致させる。次に、前記挿入架材８を、起立壁４１及び中間壁４３の一側端部近傍に形成した各第１係合孔４ａ１に挿入し、前記対向面２３２の凹部２３２ａに当接または近接させて、ねじ挿通孔８ａを上壁４４のねじ挿通孔４４ａと略一致させる。この場合、前記凹部２３２ａは挿入架材８の位置決めを行う位置決め部として機能する。そして、ねじ部材Ｂを前記上壁４４のねじ挿通孔４４ａ及び挿入架材８のねじ挿通孔８ａの順に上方から挿通して、適宜の工具を用いてねじ部Ｂ１を前記上面部２３１ａのねじ孔２３１ｂに螺合すると、引寄手段９の引寄力により、挿入架材８の下縁部８ｂと第１係合孔４ａ１の下縁部４ａ１１とが当接して、起立壁４１及び中間壁４３の起立方向に締付力が働き、起立壁４１及び中間壁４３の下端部４１ａ、４３ａと突出部２３１の上面部２３１ａとが押圧結合されるとともに、底壁４２が上面部２３１ａに圧接される（図５参照）。このように取り付けた状態において、ねじ部材Ｂのねじ頭Ｂ２は横架材４内に完全に収容され表出しないように設定されている。なお、本実施形態においては、ねじ頭Ｂ２と挿入架材８との間に座金Ｗを介在させている。
【００３３】
横架材４と袖３との取り付け作業も、引寄手段９を用いて上記とほぼ同様の手順により行う。簡単に説明すると、起立壁４１及び中間壁４３の他側端部近傍に形成した各第１係合孔４ａ１に挿入架材８を挿入し、挿入架材８のねじ挿通孔８ａと、袖３の上面部３１ａに設けたねじ孔及び前記上壁４４のねじ挿通孔４４ａとを略一致させる。そして、ねじ部材Ｂをねじ挿通孔４４ａ、８ａの順に上方から挿通して、ねじ部Ｂ１を上面部３１ａのねじ孔に螺合することにより、挿入架材８の下縁部８ｂと第１係合孔４ａ１の下縁部４ａ１１とが当接して、起立壁４１及び中間壁４３の起立方向に締付力が働き、起立壁４１及び中間壁４３の下端部４１ａ、４３ａと上面部３１ａとが押圧結合されるとともに、底壁４２が上面部２３１ａに圧接される。このような手順を経て横架材４を、脚フレーム２及び袖３に一体的に取り付ける。
【００３４】
また、横架材４と、天板１との取り付けも、横架材４と脚フレーム２又は袖３との取り付け作業に準じて行うことができる。簡単に説明すると、先ず、天板１を横架材４の上端部に載置する。その際、天板１のブラケット１２を、各横架材４の内方側に位置する起立壁４１に当接または近接させるとともに、ブラケット１２に形成した各係合孔１２ａと起立壁４１及び中間壁４３に形成した各係合孔４ａ１、４ａ２とを略一致させる。そして第２係合孔４ａ２の挿入可能な略直方体状の図示しない挿入架材を各係合孔１２ａ、４ａ２に挿入し、挿入架材に設けたねじ挿通孔（図示省略）と、天板１の下面部１１ａに設けたねじ孔及び前記上壁４４のねじ挿通孔４４ａとを略一致させる。そして、ねじ部材Ｂを下方から挿入架材のねじ挿通孔、上壁のねじ挿通孔４４ａの順に挿通して、適宜の工具を用いてねじ部Ｂ１を前記下面部１１ａのねじ孔に螺合すると、引寄手段９の引寄力により、挿入架材の上縁部と第２係合孔４ａ２の上縁部４ａ２２とが当接して、起立壁４１及び中間壁４３の起立方向に締付力が働き、起立壁４１及び中間壁４３の上端部４１ｂ、４３ｂと天板１の下面部１１ａとが押圧結合されるとともに、上壁４４が下面部１１ａに圧接される。このようにして天板１を横架材４に取り付けた状態においては、図６（図６は、図３のＱ−Ｑ線断面を一部省略して示す図であり、天板１を一点鎖線で示している）に示すように、天板１の下面部１１ａと、起立壁４１及び中間壁４３の上端部４１ｂ、４３ｂとが略当接し、起立壁４１及び中間壁４３の各上端部４１ｂ、４３ｂが各壁４１、４３の起立方向に天板１の荷重を分担して受けるように構成している。
【００３５】
以上の手順を経ることにより、横架材４を利用して、脚フレーム２、袖３及び天板１を一体的に組み付けることができる。
【００３６】
また、必要に応じて、前記デスクトップパネル５、幕板６、整理棚７を横架材４に取り付けることができる。例えばデスクトップパネル５を横架材４に取り付ける場合には、デスクトップパネル５を天板１の後縁部側に位置させ、デスクトップパネル５の一対の係合片５２を、横架材４の第２係合孔４ａ２にそれぞれ略同時に挿入して係わり合わせる。この場合、図６に示すように、係合片５２の下端部５２ａが起立壁４１及び中間壁４３の各係合孔４ａ２の下縁部４ａ２１と当接し、各係合孔４ａ２の下縁部４ａ２１が各壁４１、４３の起立方向にデスクトップパネル５の荷重を分担して受けるように構成している。同様に、前記幕板６や前記整理棚７も各係合片６２又は７２を所定の係合孔４ａ２又は４ａ１に挿入して係わり合わせることにより横架材４に取り付けることができ、各係合孔４ａ２、４ａ１の下縁部４ａ２１、４ａ１１が起立方向に幕板６または整理棚７の荷重を受けるように構成している。なお、各オプション部材５、６、７を横架材４に取り付けた状態において、各オプション部材５、６、７の係合片５２、６２、７２が相互に干渉したり、または同一の係合孔４ａ１又は４ａ２を共用しないように、それぞれの係合片５１間、係合片６２間、係合片７２間の離間距離を適宜設定している。
【００３７】
また、上記取付状態において、図１等に図示するように、横架材４の両側端部が、脚フレーム２または袖３の外側端部と略一致するように設定されている。そこで、この横架材４を利用して、他の天板付き家具と連結することができる。
【００３８】
他の天板付き家具としては、前記デスクＴと同一形状、同一構造をなすものでもよいが、本実施形態においては、図７に示すサイドテーブルＳＴを用いる。このサイドテーブルＳＴは、同図に示すように、天板Ｘ１と、天板Ｘ１の両側端部を支持する一対の脚フレームＸ２と、脚フレームＸ２間に架け渡される横架材Ｘ４とを備えたものである。天板Ｘ１、脚フレームＸ２及び横架材Ｘ４は、天板Ｘ１の形状及び横架材Ｘ４の長手寸法が異なる以外は、前記天板１、脚フレーム２及び横架材４と略同一形状をなし、前記デスクＴと同様に、引寄手段を用いて、各部材Ｘ１、Ｘ２、Ｘ４を一体的に組み付けている。この引寄手段も前記引寄手段９と略同様のものである。そして、横架材Ｘ４の両側端部が、各脚フレームＸ２の外側端部と略一致するように設定されている。
【００３９】
このような構成を有するサイドテーブルＳＴと前記デスクＴとを連結部材Ｒを用いて連結する。連結部材Ｒは、図８に示すように、起立壁４１と中間壁４３との間に収容可能な厚みを有する概略厚板状のブロック体である。この連結部材Ｒの両側端部近傍には肉厚方向に貫通する取付孔Ｒ１が設けられている。この取付孔Ｒ１は、前記第１係合孔４ａ１と略同形状をなすものである。

また、一対の起立壁４１の間において底壁４２から起立する中間壁４３を設けているため、起立壁４１のみで引寄手段９による操作力を受ける場合と比較して、起立壁４１に掛かる応力集中を中間壁４３にも分散することができ、起立壁４１に掛かる負荷を軽減することが可能となる。その結果、応力集中による起立壁４１の早期破損を防止することができる。加えて、中間壁４３を貫通して起立壁４１間に架け渡す挿入架材８を用いた引寄手段９によって、起立壁４１及び中間壁４３の起立方向への圧縮強度を利用して横架材４を脚フレーム２若しくは袖３又は天板１に取り付けるため、起立壁４１及び中間壁４３と、上面部２３１ａ若しくは３１ａ又は下面部１１ａとを押圧結合することが可能になり、より強固な取付状態を実現することができる。また、挿入架材８を、中間壁４３を貫通して起立壁４１間に架け渡すようにしているため、横架材４の高さ寸法を小さく抑えることが可能である。
【００４４】
前記引寄手段９が、挿入架材８に設けたねじ挿通孔８ａにねじ部材Ｂを挿通させ、上面部２３１ａ、３１ａ、下面部１１ａにそれぞれ設けたねじ孔にねじ部材Ｂを螺合させることにより挿入架材８と、上面部２３１ａ若しくは３１ａ又は下面部１１ａとを引寄せるものであるため、引寄手段９のねじ送り機構を利用して簡単な作業により横架材４を、脚フレーム２若しくは袖３又は天板１に確実に取り付けることができる。
【００４５】
なお、本発明は、以上に詳述した実施形態に限られるものではない。
【００４６】
例えば、第１部材たる横架材は、対向する壁さえ有したものであれば好適に用いることができ、例えば押し出し成形してなる角パイプ状のものであってもよい。
【００４７】
また、第１部材が、一対の起立壁の一端部同士を接続する接続壁を有し、中間壁を有しないものであっても構わない。その場合には、起立壁の他端部と取付面部とを当接または近接させるように第１部材と第２部材とを突き当てて、引寄手段の引寄力により起立壁の他端部と取付面部とが押圧状態で接触するように第１部材を第２部材に取り付けるようにしてもよい。
【００４８】
第１部材が、３枚以上の中間壁を設けたものであっても勿論構わない。
【００４９】
また、係合孔の代わりに、起立壁及び中間壁に切欠きを設け、切欠きに挿入架材を架け渡すようにしてもよい。

【発明の効果】
以上説明したように本発明によれば、引寄手段により第１部材と第２部材とを引寄せる操作力が、架材を介して起立壁が起立方向に沿って圧縮力として作用することになるため、例えば第２部材の取付面部から離れた位置にある第１部材の所定の面を取付面側へ引寄せる方向に沿って操作力が作用する取付構造と比較して、操作時に前記所定の面が取付面側に撓むことがなく、有効な取付強度を得ることができる。しかも、起立壁と取付面部とを押圧した状態で接触させることが可能になり、第１部材と第２部材との間に隙間が生じてガタつきが発生する要因が排除され、良好な取付状態を実現することができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a mounting structure of a member applied when a first member having a pair of upright walls is mounted on a mounting surface portion of a second member facing a rising direction of the upright wall.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, for example, in furniture such as furniture with a top plate, when attaching a pair of support members for supporting the top plate and a cross member to be bridged between the support members, both ends of the cross member having a square pipe shape are attached. It is performed by inserting into a protrusion provided on the inner surface of the support member and screwing it (for example, see Patent Document 1). Further, a mode in which a horizontal member in the shape of a square pipe is placed on the upper surface of the support member and the upper surface and the upper wall of the horizontal member separated from the upper surface are fastened using a screw member is also conceivable. .

JP-A-2000-333738 (pages 6 to 8, FIG. 4)
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the former mounting structure, since the horizontal member is fitted to the support member, at least a slight gap is formed between the two members in the mounted state, and there is a problem that some backlash occurs. Further, since the latter mounting structure is configured to tighten the upper wall of the support member and the upper wall separated from the upper surface, the tightening force acts along the direction of pulling the upper wall toward the upper surface, There is a problem that the upper wall is easily bent. As a result, sufficient fastening force cannot be obtained, and it is difficult to reliably fix both members. Further, there may be a case where the connection between the two members is slightly loose due to a processing error of a screw hole provided in the wall.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and a main object is to attach a first member having a pair of upright walls to a mounting surface portion of a second member facing the upright direction of the upright walls. Provided is a member mounting structure in which a sufficient tightening force is obtained at the time of abutting and mounting, and a part of each member is surely brought into contact with each other in a pressed state and connected to each other to realize a favorable mounting state without rattling. Is to do.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
That is, the member mounting structure of the present invention is a member mounting structure applied when a first member having a pair of upright walls is mounted by abutting against a mounting surface of a second member facing the upright direction of the upright walls. Structure, wherein the first member is formed by utilizing a compressive strength of the upright wall in an upright direction by a pulling means for pulling the mounting member and the mounting surface portion between the upright walls in directions that are close to each other. It is characterized by being attached to the second member.
[0007]
In such a case, the operating force for pulling the first member and the second member by the drawing means acts as a compressive force on the upright wall along the upright direction via the frame. For example, as compared with a conventional mounting structure in which an operating force acts along a direction in which a predetermined surface of the first member located at a position away from the mounting surface of the second member is drawn toward the mounting surface, the predetermined value is reduced during operation. An effective mounting strength can be obtained without the surface being bent toward the mounting surface. In addition, the upright wall and the mounting surface can be brought into contact with each other in a pressed state, and a factor that causes a gap between the first member and the second member to cause looseness is eliminated, and a favorable mounting state is achieved. Can be realized.
[0008]
As a specific embodiment, the first member has a connection wall connecting one end of the pair of upright walls, and the connection wall and the mounting surface portion are brought into contact with or close to each other. The first member is brought into contact with the first member and the second member so that one end portion and the connection wall of the upright wall and the mounting surface portion come into contact with each other in a pressed state by a drawing force of the drawing means. Is attached to the second member.
[0009]
Further, as another specific embodiment, the first member has a connection wall connecting one end of the pair of upright walls, and the other end of the upright wall and the mounting surface portion are connected to each other. The first member and the second member are abutted against each other so as to be in contact with or close to each other, and the other end of the upright wall and the mounting surface are brought into contact with each other in a pressed state by the drawing force of the drawing means. The first member is attached to the second member.
[0010]
In particular, an intermediate wall that stands in the same direction as the upright wall from the connection wall is provided between the pair of upright walls, a through hole or a notch is provided between the intermediate wall and the upright wall, and the through hole or the notch is used. The first member is attached to the second member by utilizing the compressive strength of the upright wall and the intermediate wall in the upright direction by the drawing means using the bridging member that bridges the intermediate wall and the upright wall. With such a configuration, it is possible to press-connect the intermediate wall in addition to the upright wall to the mounting surface, and a more robust mounting state can be realized. In this case, for example, the height of the first member can be kept small by penetrating the intermediate member between the upstanding walls through the intermediate wall.
[0011]
In addition, as an example of the drawing means, a method of drawing and tightening the frame member and the mounting surface portion using a screw feed mechanism may be used.
[0012]
In order to reduce the number of parts and to facilitate the mounting operation, the drawing means allows the screw member to be inserted through a screw insertion hole provided in one of the mounting member and the mounting surface portion, and It is preferable that the frame member and the mounting surface are drawn by screwing the screw member into the provided screw hole.
[0013]
Further, the first member and the second member are members that constitute furniture, the second member is a support member that supports both side ends of the top plate, and the first member is bridged between the support members. If it is a horizontal member, the mounting structure according to the present invention can be suitably applied. In this case, it is preferable that the mounting surface is the upper surface of the support member.
[0014]
On the other hand, even if the first member and the second member are members constituting furniture, the second member is a top plate, and the first member is a horizontal member arranged on the lower surface of the top plate. The mounting structure according to the invention can be suitably applied. In that case, it is desirable that the mounting surface is the lower surface of the top plate.
