Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement of a shelf structure for displaying products.

  In general, as shown in FIG. 19, a shelf for displaying commodities has a bracket 10 attached to a support column 100 of the shelf, and a shelf plate 200 supported by the bracket 10. In many cases, as shown in FIG. 20, the shelf board 200 is provided with a beam member 201 having a U-shaped cross section or a V-shaped cross section by a steel plate or the like on the back surface of the top board 202 of the shelf board 200. The strength of the shelf board 200 is obtained.

  Moreover, the bracket 10 is directly addressed and supported on the back surface of the top plate 202 of the shelf board as an example, and specifically, the back surfaces of the left and right ends of the shelf board 200 are supported. In this case, the beam member 201 protruding to the back surface is an obstacle to the bracket 10, so that both ends of the beam member 201 are slightly shorter than the lateral width of the shelf plate 200 as shown in FIG. Thus, only a small section at both ends of the shelf board 200 is in a state without the beam member 201, and this is a place where the bracket 10 is addressed. The shelf board 200 has side portions 203 that hang down from the four sides around the shelf board 200, but the side portion 203a on the rear side of the shelf board has a groove for a bracket cut out at a location corresponding to the bracket 10 (not shown). The bracket 10 is directed to the back surface of the shelf board 200 so as to be inserted into the groove. This groove also serves to suppress the rattling of the bracket 10 to the left and right.

  The width of such a shelf board becomes the space | interval of a bracket also as the space | interval of a bracket. In other words, the interval between the columns is to define the left and right width of the shelf board, but the interval between the columns may be different for each manufacturer. Also, if the shelf is a meter module or an inch module, there is usually no compatibility with respect to width. Therefore, there are many cases where the shelf board does not fit even if it is tried to be combined with an existing pillar of another manufacturer or a bracket provided on the shelf board.

(Sliding shelf): Some shelves can be pulled out by sliding the shelf forward. Such slide-type shelves are provided for the purpose of facilitating the display of products in the back of the shelves (see Patent Document 1).

  In such a slide-type shelf, for example, as shown in FIG. 22 in which the shelf plate is seen through, a slide rail 210 is attached to the outer surfaces of the left and right brackets 10 that support the shelf plate 200, and the bracket with the slide rail is attached. 10 is joined to both sides of the shelf board 200, thereby enabling a sliding shelf. In this case, when the joining position of the slide rail 210 to the shelf board 200 is determined, the interval between the left and right brackets 10 is defined as this interval. The slide rail may be provided inside the bracket.

  In addition to the problem of bracket spacing, such a sliding shelf has a problem that the left and right brackets 10 are wobbled. In the case of a general shelf that is not slidable, the shelf board is fixedly bridged between the left and right brackets, so the shelf board is a brace with the bracket, that is, the role of the fixing member that fixes the wobble of the bracket. Is supposed to fulfill. However, in the case of a slide-type shelf, when the shelf is slid forward, there is no shelf between the brackets, and the role of a fixing member for the bracket is less likely. For this reason, a long member 204 called “pull” as shown in FIG. 22 is bridged between the brackets to suppress wobble. Nevertheless, when the shelf board 200 is slid forward, the distance L between the top end 200 of the shelf board and the bracket base end becomes larger, and the shaking by the drawn shelf board is larger than when the shelf board 200 is not pulled out. Will work. Further, the center of gravity of the shelf plate on which the products are displayed is also separated from the base end (that is, the support column) of the bracket by the amount of the drawer, so that wobble tends to increase.

(Thickness of shelf board etc.): Furthermore, as for the slide type shelf, it is good to join the slide rail 201 side by side with the bracket 10 and the side part of the shelf board 200 as shown in FIG. When the slide rail and the shelf board that slides are joined in an overlapping manner, a shelf board with a large vertical thickness is formed. In addition to sliding shelves, shelves generally do not have to be too thick, and the combined thickness of the shelves and brackets should not be too large. This is because if this is large, the number of shelves on the shelf is restricted, and the space above the shelves becomes narrow, which is undesirable for the display effect.

(Shelves on the wall): The shelf board may be provided directly on the wall in the store. For example, a bracket column is embedded in the wall surface, a bracket is attached to the wall, and a shelf board is provided. For example, a shelf plate made of a glass plate is often used. In this case, the glass plate is simply placed on the bracket. Further, in this case, the bracket is positioned not at both ends of the glass plate but at a middle position to some extent.
JP 2002-272568 A

The shelf directly provided on the wall is provided with a shelf plate originally planned, and in many cases, the shelf is a glass plate. If necessary, the shelf as a normal fixture can be replaced with other shelves after that, but if the wall is equipped with mounting points such as columns, it will be renovated so that it can be easily replaced. I can't.
In addition, when the shelf provided on the wall is replaced with a shelf plate different from the shelf plate at the time of installation, since the bracket interval is fixed, it is often not attached unless it fits. In many cases, glass shelves support the middle rather than both ends with brackets, while steel shelves support both ends, which also increases the probability that the bracket width will not match. . However, even in such a case, there is a demand for providing another shelf board in place of the original shelf board on the existing wall shelf.

  Moreover, since a bracket and a shelf board join a slide-type shelf via a slide rail, the space | interval of a bracket on either side is prescribed | regulated to the space | interval of the junction location to a shelf board. Therefore, the sliding shelf cannot be attached to an attachment location of a bracket interval different from the specified interval, that is, a column interval.

  Also, the slide type shelf should have a large thickness in the vertical direction even if it has sliding means. Furthermore, even if it is a slide-type shelf, the thing by which wobble was suppressed is good.

  In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a shelf structure in which the interval between the brackets can be freely selected, and there is no wobbling even if it is a sliding type, and the vertical thickness can be suppressed.

In order to solve the above problems, the invention of the shelf structure according to claim 1 of the present application is a shelf having a bracket, a shelf plate portion supported by the bracket, and an engaging means for the shelf plate portion and the bracket. In the structure, the engagement means is capable of engaging the bracket with respect to the shelf plate portion at an arbitrary position in the lateral width direction of the shelf plate portion.

  According to invention of Claim 6, 8, the vertical thickness of a shelf board is suppressed.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a bracket 10 inserted and attached to a slit 101 of a support column 100, a fixed shelf board portion 20, a slide shelf board portion 30, and a slide rail 40 as a sliding means interposed therebetween. It is the figure of the shelf structure 1 which looked at the shelf board part 2 from the front. FIG. 2 is a view of the shelf structure 1 of FIG. 1 as viewed from the right side, and FIG. 3 is a view of the shelf structure as viewed from the plane. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of only the shelf board 2.

  The fixed shelf board part 20 has the cross-sectional structure shown in FIG. 5, and the left side of the figure is the front side of the shelf. On the back surface side of the fixed shelf 20, an engagement groove 22 as an engagement portion formed by attaching a bent steel plate 21 is provided in the lateral direction as shown in FIG. 6. It has been. The engagement groove 22 is a groove for engaging the bracket 10 described below. The fixed shelf 20 is provided with a key hole 23 in the center of the front surface, and a slide shelf plate 30 (to be described later) can be locked and prevented from sliding by operating a key inserted therein. This is because the lock piece 24 operated by the key shown in FIG. 5 is engaged with the locking piece 31 provided on the back surface of the slide shelf as shown in FIG. The slide shelf board 30 is locked.

  The bracket 10 has the shape shown in FIG. 7, and a steel plate having a length corresponding to the longitudinal length of the fixed shelf 20 is bent at a right angle by a fold in the front-rear direction. However, the bracket main body 11 has the same shape as a normal bracket. At the base end of the bracket body 11, three attachment pieces 12 are formed by being inserted into the slits 101 of the support column 100, and when attached to the support column 100, the bracket body 11 has a vertical posture with the longitudinal direction directed in the longitudinal direction of the shelf. Take. The other side of the fold line is an engaging wing portion 13 that takes a horizontal posture, and is parallel to the rear surface of the fixed shelf 20 and is directed to the engaging groove 22. This engagement wing part 13 is provided with recesses 14 at two places in the front and rear, and is used for engagement with the fixed shelf part 20. The recess 14 has a recess opening 14a narrower than the inner recess hole 14b, and corresponds to the thickness of the shaft of the bolt 51 described below.

For this engagement, an engaging member 50 including a bolt 51 and a long nut 52 as shown in FIG. 8 is used. As shown in FIG. 9, the head 53 of the bolt 51 is recessed in the engaging wing 13. 14, and the bolts 51 are tightened in a state where the nuts 52 are locked in the engagement grooves 22 of the fixed shelf 20, whereby the bracket 10 and the fixed shelf 20 are engaged. .
The bolt 51 is formed on a distal end side 54 a having a male screw of the bolt shaft 54 and a proximal end side 54 b which is thicker and does not have a male screw. The thin proximal end side 54 a is formed in the recess opening 14 a of the bracket 10. Thickness that can be passed through. The thick base end side 54b cannot pass through the recess opening 14a, but can pass through the recess hole 14b.
Further, if the length of the nut 52 (see FIG. 8B) is formed to be equal to or greater than the inner width of the engagement groove 22, the nut 52 can be prevented from spinning around when the bolt 51 is tightened, and the bolt tightening is ensured. Made. When the bolts 51 are loosened, the bracket 10 can be freely slid along the locking grooves 22, whereby the bracket 10 can be easily positioned. FIG. 10 is a diagram in which the bracket 10 is engaged at the end of the fixed shelf 20, and FIG. 11 is a diagram in which the bracket 10 is positioned inward from the end and engaged. The engagement wing 13 may be a bolt hole instead of the bolt recess 14.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 12, the slide shelf 30 is provided with a partition 32 for preventing the product from falling in front and rear, and is bent from one steel plate on the back surface at the center of the width. A locking engagement piece 31 and a pull-out handle 33 are attached. FIG.
As shown in the figure, a partition 34 is erected at the left and right ends of the slide shelf board 30, and leg portions 35 bent in an L-shape are provided on the back surface so as to hang down from both ends. The leg portions 35 are arranged so as to sandwich both the side portions 25 of the fixed shelf plate portion 20, and the side portions 25 and the leg portions 35 are provided between these slide rails 40 described below. It is joined via.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the slide rail 40 as the slide means has a pair of rail bodies 41 and 42 whose sections are nested, and these two rail bodies slide with each other with a ball bearing 43. ing. The outer rail body 41 is attached to the fixed shelf 20 and the inner rail 42 is attached to the slide shelf 20. The slide rail 40 is joined to the side 25 of the fixed shelf 20 and the leg 35 of the slide shelf 30 in a state of being interposed therebetween. Moreover, since the side part 25, the slide rail 40, and the leg part 35 are joined side by side, the thickness in the vertical direction can be reduced as compared with the case where they are joined in the vertical direction.

Next, the usage method of the embodiment of the shelf structure described above will be described.
First, the shelf structure 1 is assembled. First, the bracket 10 is attached by being inserted into the slit 101 of the column 100 to be attached. The support column 100 may be embedded in a wall.

  Next, the engagement member 50 is temporarily fixed in the engagement groove 22 on the back surface of the fixed shelf 20. Specifically, the nut 52 is screwed onto the bolt 51, and the engaging member 50 is temporarily fixed in a state where the nut 52 is placed in the engaging groove 22. At this time, the bolt 51 is screwed into the nut 52 in a shallow state. By doing so, the bolt 51 temporarily tightened in the engagement groove 22 is in a state of hanging on the lower surface of the fixed shelf 20.

  When the shelf 20 with the bolts and nuts is placed on the bracket 10 that is prepared by being attached to the support column 100, and the drooping bolt 51 is moved toward the bracket 10 along the engagement groove 22, the bolt shaft 54 can be inserted into the concave portion 14 because the narrow portion of the distal end side 54 a corresponds to the concave opening 14 a of the bracket 10. When the bolt 51 is tightened in this state, the thick portion of the bolt shaft base end side 54b enters the recess hole 14b, so that the bolt 51 cannot be removed from the recess 14 of the bracket 10. In this state, the one-end bolt 51 is temporarily fixed, and the bolt 51 is finally tightened when the direction of the bracket 10 that sways to the left and right is adjusted. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, the shelf 2 (the fixed shelf 20) The engagement with the bracket 10 is completed.

  Moreover, the slide shelf board part 20 of this shelf structure 1 is normally locked with a key on the front face so that it cannot slide. The reason for sliding is to replenish the merchandise by the store clerk, and there is a reason that the merchandise can be easily displayed behind the shelf by sliding forward. Recently, there are cases where shoplifting damage is caused to a large number of products instead of a small amount, so the displayed products are covered with a shelf on one level to prevent a large amount of theft from being met at once. Shelves are provided. In the case of such a shelf, it is further necessary to replenish the product in a state where it is slid forward, and for this purpose, an operation that allows sliding with a key is necessary. When unlocked and slid forward, the result is as shown in FIG.

  In addition, when the width of the shelf 2 is large, three brackets 10 may be used as shown in FIG. Moreover, the shelf part with such a large horizontal width is in a state where the center of the slide shelf part is slackened, and may contact the lower fixed shelf part. Therefore, a slide rail 26 made of Duracon resin or the like having excellent mechanical characteristics and self-lubricating properties is provided on the upper surface of the fixed shelf 20 and is supported and slid while the slide shelf 30 is on the slide rail 26. Because it can, it can slide without sagging.

  The bracket may have two engaging wings 13 on the left and right as shown in FIG. In many cases, shelves are arranged in a row in a row, and therefore, the support columns are usually provided with two slits for brackets (see FIG. 1). That is, in general, two brackets are attached to one column in a state of being adjacent to each other, and thus shelves are generally provided on the right side and the left side of the column. In that respect, the bracket 10 as shown in FIG. 17 can support the left and right shelf boards with one bracket. That is, in this case, the bracket 10 is used as shown in FIG.
