Description

  The present invention relates to a height-adjustable leg bracket used for a panel defining a so-called partition or a toilet booth constituting a simple partition in a living room space.

  Conventionally, a construction method has been adopted in which a living room space or a public space is partitioned by a partition or a partition panel to easily define a small room or a booth. For example, a panel for a toilet booth installed at a station or the like forms a plurality of booths by connecting a plurality of panels. In this case, if the floor surface is uneven, there will be inconveniences such as a difference in height from the adjacent panel, or the dimensions may not match the assembly with the door member, etc. A leg bracket (see, for example, Patent Document 1) as means is provided.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, this type of leg hardware 500 has a panel-side mounting plate 503 fixed to a lower end surface 501 a of a panel 501 with a screw 505, and the panel-side mounting plate 503 is a panel-side male screw. The part 507 is integrally fixed and suspended. On the other hand, a building-side male screw part 513 having a bowl-shaped base plate 511 at the lower end is installed on the floor 509, and the bowl-shaped base plate 511 is fixed to the floor 509 with a plurality of screws 515. The panel-side male screw portion 507 and the building-side male screw portion 513 are reverse screws, and are screwed into both ends of the adjustment pipe 519 in which the female screw portion 117 is formed.

Therefore, after the panel 501 is placed on the floor 509 via the leg hardware 500, if the adjustment pipe 519 is rotated forward and backward, the panel-side male screw portion 507 and the building-side male screw portion 513 are moved closer to or away from each other. The distance L between the lower end surface 501a of the panel 501 and the floor 509 could be adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, the metal base 500 is fixed integrally with the building-side male screw portion 513 by tightening a set screw 521 that is screwed into the adjustment pipe 519 from the outside in the radial direction, and the rotation is restricted to the adjusted dimension. I was able to hold it.

  However, since the conventional leg metal 500 assembles the three parts of the panel-side male screw part 507, the building-side male screw part 513, and the adjustment pipe 519, the assembling work is complicated, and there has been a demand for reducing the number of parts. Further, in order to prevent loosening, it is necessary to tighten the set screws 521 at a position close to the floor 509, and it takes a lot of labor to tighten a large number of set screws 521, and the workability is poor. On the other hand, if the set screw 521 is forgotten to be tightened, the adjustment pipe 519 rotates due to repeated vibrations when the door is opened and closed, causing a problem in that the adjusted distance L is distorted. In the case of the light panel 3 having a low height, the adjustment pipe 519 can be rotated relatively easily. However, the high panel and the panel having increased rigidity are heavy and the adjustment pipe by hand is large. The rotation of 519 becomes difficult. In this case, since the adjustment pipe 519 is a cylinder, the outer peripheral surface must be gripped and rotated using a tool such as a pliers, and the adjustment pipe 519, which is a conspicuous portion, is conspicuously scratched and the appearance is reduced. There was something to do.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and its first object is to reduce the number of parts, without changing the conventional construction method, and without requiring fixing with a set screw or the like. An object of the present invention is to provide a leg bracket for a partition panel that can prevent the above.

  A tool clamping portion 47 having at least a pair of parallel surfaces 47 a and 47 a is formed on a part of the outer peripheral surface of the male screw portion 37. In the present embodiment, the tool clamping portion 47 is formed in a hexagonal shape on the upper end side of the male screw portion 37 (on the side close to the panel side mounting plate 7). In FIG. 3, reference numeral 49 denotes a fixing hole for the screw 9.

  The male screw portion 37 has a specific screwing length of about 10 mm, and this screwing range (actually the range obtained by subtracting the screwing allowance) is the upper limit of the adjustment range. Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, a plurality of types of cylindrical members having different lengths LL and the like (LL ≠ L) with respect to the cylindrical member 23 having the standard length L (FIG. 4A). By preparing 23A, it is possible to easily cope with a wider adjustment range.

  In the leg bracket 35, the male screw portion 37 is rotatable with respect to the panel side mounting plate 7 fixed to the panel 3, and the male screw portion 37 screwed into the female screw portion 19 of the cylindrical member 23 is used as a tool. By grasping and rotating the holding portion 47 with a wrench or the like, it moves forward and backward from the cylindrical member 23, and the distance between the lower end surface 3a of the panel 3 and the bowl-shaped base plate 21 can be easily variably adjusted. According to this configuration, even when the panel-side mounting plate 7 is fixed to the lower end surface 3a of the panel 3 and the bowl-shaped base plate 21 is fixed to the floor 25, the lower end surface 3a of the panel 3 and the bowl-shaped base The distance from the plate 21 can be adjusted.

  According to the bracket 35 according to the present embodiment, the male screw portion 37 is rotatably attached to the panel side mounting plate 7, and the tool holding portion 47 having at least a pair of parallel surfaces 47a and 47a is attached to the male screw portion 37. Since it is formed, it is possible to easily turn the parallel surfaces 47a and 47a by using a wrench or the like, thereby improving workability. Further, the legs 35 are not damaged by teeth such as pliers.

FIG. 5 is a side view of a modified example of the leg bracket shown in FIG.
The above-described leg bracket 35 may be a leg bracket 35A in which the insertion hole 51 of the rod-shaped tool is formed in the outer peripheral surface of the male screw portion 37 in the center direction of the diameter, that is, radially inward, instead of the tool clamping portion 47. .
In the leg bracket 35A according to this modified example, the male screw portion 37 advances and retreats from the cylindrical member 23 by being rotated through a rod-shaped tool (not shown) inserted into the insertion hole 51, and the lower end surface 3a of the panel 3 The distance from the bowl-shaped base plate 21 can be easily variably adjusted. According to this configuration, even when the bowl-shaped base plate 21 is fixed, the distance between the panel 3 and the bowl-shaped base plate 21 can be adjusted.

  According to the leg bracket 35A, a rod-shaped tool or the like can be inserted into the insertion hole 51, and the male screw portion 37 can be easily turned, so that workability is improved. In addition, it is possible to prevent a conspicuous scratch on the conspicuous portion of the leg bracket 35A with teeth such as pliers.

FIG. 6 is a plan view showing the positional relationship between the fixing holes of the bowl-shaped base plate and the panel.
In the above-described embodiments (particularly, the metal base 5 according to the first embodiment), the bowl-shaped base plate 21 has at least a pair of fixings arranged in the circumferential direction with a 90-degree included angle around the central axis. It is preferable that the use holes 27 are formed. In the illustrated example, a total of four fixing holes 27 in two pairs are arranged every 90 degrees.

  By arranging the fixing holes 27 in this way, as shown in FIG. 6A, the pair of fixing holes 27 and 27 temporarily overlap the panel 3 depending on the rotational position of the bowl-shaped base plate 21. However, the other fixing holes 27, 27 are detached from the panel 3, so that a tool can be used and screws can be fixed. As shown in FIG. 6B, if the panel 3 is arranged between the adjacent fixing holes 27, 27, all the fixing holes 27 can be used. In the case where the pair of fixing holes 27 and 27 are arranged circumferentially at an included angle of 180 degrees, the two fixing holes 27 and 27 overlap the panel 3 at the same time depending on the rotational position of the bowl-shaped base plate 21. , It may become impossible to fix.

  By the way, the door stopper for the conventional toilet booth mainly used for an outward opening door is being fixed to the upper edge and side of the door panel with two or three screws. In this case, since the fixing force of the screw differs depending on the type of the door panel, the door stopper may fall due to the screw being pulled out by a force such as an impact when the door is fully opened or the door panel cracking. In addition, two or three mounting screws were necessary, and workability was poor. On the other hand, a door stopper that also serves as a hat is attached to the top of the door panel when the door is an internal opening. When the door is fully opened, there is a problem that the opening angle of the door varies depending on the position of the panel 3 of the toilet booth.

  Due to such problems, the door stopper does not depend on the fixing force of screws depending on the material of the door panel, and the opening angle is 90 degrees regardless of the position of the panel 3 when the door is open, and the door stopper is well constructed. There was a request.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a door stopper for a toilet booth attached to an exterior door.
The toilet booth door stopper 61 used in the present embodiment has a substantially strip-shaped horizontal plate portion 63 reinforced by ribs 63a.

Fixed. A stopper piece 71 is bent and raised at the other end of the horizontal plate portion 63, and the stopper piece 71 can come into contact with a crosspiece 73 passed over the entrance / exit of the toilet booth from the inside. The stopper piece 71 is provided with an impact absorbing rubber 75 that absorbs an impact with the crosspiece 73.

  Therefore, when the door panel 65 is opened, the toilet booth door stopper 61 is moved together with the door panel 65, and the door panel 65 is restricted to be opened at an opening angle of 90 degrees with the shock absorbing rubber 75 in contact with the crosspiece 73. It has become so.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a toilet booth door stopper attached to the inner opening door.
On the other hand, the toilet booth door stopper 61 can also be used for an inner opening door panel 65A. In the inner opening door panel 65 </ b> A, sandwiching pieces 67 a, 67 b, 67 c are inserted and sandwiched from the lower surface side of the crosspiece 73, and the sandwiching pieces 67 a, 67 b, 67 c are fixed to the crosspiece 73 by the fixing screws 75.

  Therefore, when the door panel 65A is opened, the opening angle of the door panel 65A is 90 degrees when the inner upper end surface of the door panel 65A is in contact with the stopper piece 71 of the toilet booth door stopper 61 fixed to the crosspiece 73. The door opening is regulated.

  According to this toilet booth door stopper 61, the door panel 65 is sandwiched between the sandwiching pieces 67a, 67b and 67c, so that the load applied when the door panel 65 is fully opened is not affected by the screw fixing force of the door panel 65. , 67b, 67c and the stopper piece 71, the impact resistance can be improved. Moreover, workability | operativity can be improved by screwing in the outer opening door 65 in one place. Further, by attaching the toilet booth door stopper 61 to the crosspiece 73, the opening angle can be set to 90 degrees even when the inner opening door 65A is used. As a result, the mounting strength can be improved, the workability can be improved, and the appearance when the inner opening door is fully opened can be improved.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the structure in which the leg metal 5 is disposed between the lower end surface 3a of the panel 3 and the floor 25 has been described as an example. It is disposed between the upper end surface of the panel 3 and the ceiling, and can also be used as a support fixing member that fixes the upper end of the panel to the ceiling surface while absorbing variations in the distance between the upper end of the panel and the ceiling.
