Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shelf mounting member that can readily mount a middle shelf receiving member in a short time without detaching existing shelf receiving members.SOLUTION: A first portion and a second portion formed as divided parts are fitted to each other to define a through hole through which a column of a knock-down shelf is inserted. One end of the first portion has a rotational shaft for allowing the first portion to rotate from the second portion. A target shelf receiving member can thus be attached or detached to or from the column only by rotating a shelf mounting member associated with the shelf receiving member. This structure can greatly reduce the work and effort required for assembly of the shelf. Furthermore, the first portion is connected to the second portion with a latch, so that the connection between the first and second portions can be readily released by applying force in the opposite direction from force of a spring to a latch bolt urged by the spring. The shelf mounting member can thus be attached and detached with a small number of components and can be fabricated at reduced costs.

Description

  The present invention relates to a shelf locking member used for installing a shelf member on a support column of an assembly-type shelf.

  Conventionally, assembling-type shelves are installed by, for example, inserting through holes at the corner positions of the shelf receiving members from above into the columns arranged at the four corners if the shelf receiving members (shelf plates, etc.) are rectangular. It was common to move to an arbitrary height. Further, a locking member is installed on the support column, and the shelf receiving member is fixed.

  Since this is an assembly-type shelf, after the shelf receiving member is fitted to the support column to complete the shelf, a new shelf receiving member C is added between the existing shelf receiving members A and B, or the existing shelf When it is desired to remove the shelf receiving member C between the receiving members A and B, the shelf receiving member assembled upward must be once removed from the support column, which takes time and effort.

  Then, the example which made the shelf attachment mechanism with respect to the locking member installed in a support | pillar the shape of a half cylinder body, and was made to be the attachment or detachment structure is disclosed (patent document 1 below).

Japanese Patent No. 4749150

  However, as shown in FIG. 2 of Patent Document 1, the locking member 110 has at least two divided corner parts 11, 12, 13, and 14 that are joined with the support column 101 interposed therebetween. In this structure, the upper part of the corner part 11 is covered with a plate 13, and the abutting plate 14 is applied to the corner part and screwed. Therefore, it is possible to install a new shelf support member without removing the existing shelf support member from the column, but the use of such a shelf mounting mechanism with a large number of parts still eliminates the labor of installation. It was not what was being done.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an intermediate shelf receiving member can be attached or an existing shelf receiving member can be easily removed in a short time without removing the existing shelf receiving member. An object is to provide a mounting member for a shelf.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the shelf mounting member for fixing the shelf receiving member of the assembly-type shelf according to the present invention includes a first portion configured to be divided so as to sandwich the column of the assembly-type shelf. When the second portion is in the fitted state, a through hole for penetrating the support column is formed, and a rotation shaft for allowing one end of the first portion to rotate with the second portion is provided. And the rotation shaft is coupled with the fitting hole of the second portion by a screw member, and when at least one of the first portion and the second portion rotates around the rotation shaft, It is possible to remove from the support pillar in the through hole, and the other one end portion of the first portion forms a concave recess for latching connection with the second portion, and is engaged with the concave recess. When the latch bolt of the second part to be brought into contact with the end of the concave recess, it is biased by the force of the spring The latch bolt is pushed back, and the latch bolt is slid into the concave recess so that the first portion and the second portion are in a fitted state. .

  Further, the other one end portion of the first portion has a notch, and when a latch release tool is inserted into the notch and a force is applied in a direction to separate the latch bolt from the concave recess, And the first part and the second part are in a non-fitted state.

  Further, the latch bolt is provided with a protrusion-like knob portion for pushing back the spring force for urging the latch bolt of the second portion.

  The shelf mounting member according to the present invention forms a through-hole for penetrating the column of the assembly-type shelf by fitting the first part and the second part, which are divided and configured, into the first part. A rotation shaft for enabling rotation with the second portion is formed at one end of the first portion. Therefore, regardless of the presence of other shelf receiving members installed, it is possible to attach and detach from the column only by rotating the shelf mounting member related to the shelf receiving member to be removed. And labor can be significantly reduced.

  In addition, since the first part and the second part constituting the shelf mounting member are latch-coupled, the latch bolt that is biased by the spring force is in a direction opposite to the spring force. By applying a force, the first part and the second part can be easily disengaged. Therefore, the mounting member for the shelf is attached and detached with a small number of parts, and the cost of the mounting member for the shelf can be reduced.

It is a perspective view of the state where the mounting member for shelves which is one embodiment of the present invention was fixed to the support. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which the latch coupling of the shelf mounting member shown in FIG. 1 is released. It is the figure which showed a mode that latch connection was removed using the wrench which is an example of a latch release tool.

DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 8 is an example of a conventional assembly-type shelf. A shelf is completed by inserting the column 21 into the hole 23 at each corner 22 (corner) of the plurality of shelf receiving members 20. The present invention relates to an attachment member attached to each corner.

  FIG. 1 is a view showing a state in which a shelf mounting member 10 according to the present invention is fixed to a cylindrical column 1. The shelf mounting member 10 is fitted through the sleeve 13 so that the first portion (2a) and the second portion (2b) sandwich the support column 1 therebetween. In other words, the mating surfaces of the first part (2a) and the second part (2b) are processed so as to match the shape of the support column. When the portion (2a) and the second portion (2b) are fitted, the vertical cross section of the hole in the mating surface is processed to form a circle. The material of the shelf mounting member 10 may be made of metal or resin.

After manufacturing each of the first part (2a) and the second part (2b), the first part (2a) and the second part (2b) are connected via the rotating part 3. The shape of the rotating part 3 is processed so that one end of the first part (2a) is a substantially cylindrical shape, and a part of the second part (2b) is formed in a concave shape in accordance with this cylindrical shape. Process to be pulled out. As a result, the column-shaped rotation part 3 of the first portion (2a) serves as a rotation axis to generate a rotatable motion.
Note that there are screw holes 15 at the top and bottom of the rotating part 3 (only the upper screw is drawn in FIG. 1), and the first part (2a) and the second part are fastened by a bolt 14 via a washer. (2b) is not separated.

  When at least one of the first part (2a) or the second part (2b) is rotated around the rotation axis of the rotating unit 3, the first part (2a) and the second part are rotated as shown in FIG. The part (2b) is disengaged. By disengaging the fitting, the through hole for passing the column 1 formed by the first part (2a) and the second part (2b) is divided and spreads outward, so that the shelf mounting member 10 is It can be removed from the support column 1 from the side without moving up and down.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the first portion (2a) and the second portion (2b) are fitted to each other because the end of the first portion (2a) opposite to the rotating portion 3 is the first portion. This is because it has a structure that is latch-coupled to the second portion (2b). As shown in FIG. 3, the latch coupling includes a latch bolt 4 attached to the second portion (2b) side so as to always protrude from the joint surface by the biasing force of the spring. When the spring 6 abuts against the end of the concave recess 5 provided in the spring, a force in the opposite direction is applied to push the latch bolt 4 back, and the latch bolt 4 slides into the concave recess 5 of the first portion (2a). The part (2a) and the second part (2b) are fixed. The state after the latch coupling is the above-described FIG. 1 and FIG.

  After installing the shelf receiving member 7 using the shelf mounting member 10 of the present invention and completing the shelf, when it is desired to remove some of the existing shelf receiving members, the part to be removed It is only necessary to release the latch connection of only the shelf mounting member related to the shelf receiving member and remove it from the column 1, and to remove other shelf receiving members installed above the one of the shelf receiving members to be removed from the column. It can be removed without any need. The same applies to the case where a shelf receiving member is added, and installation is possible without removing the shelf receiving member above the shelf receiving member to be added.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a tool 9 for releasing the latch is inserted into the concave gap 8 provided in the first portion (2a) as shown in FIG. 3 (see FIG. 3B). It is sufficient to apply a force in the direction (see FIG. 3C). The vicinity of the tip of the inserted tool 9 serves as an action point, and the latch bolt 4 of the second portion (2b) can be easily removed from the concave recess 5 of the first portion (2a) by the force of the “lever principle”. .

  Another way of releasing the latch coupling is shown in FIG. A knob portion 11 joined to the latch bolt 4 (or integrated with the latch bolt) protrudes from the outer surface of the second portion (2b). When this knob portion 11 is moved in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 7B, the force of the spring 6 biasing the latch bolt 4 toward the first portion (2a) is pushed back. 4 can be removed from the concave recess 5 of the first part (2a).

  FIG. 4 is a view when the state after placing the wire mesh-like shelf receiving member 7 on the shelf mounting member 10 of the present invention is viewed from below. Since the second portion (2b) of the shelf mounting member 10 has a notch 12 for mounting the shelf receiving member 7, it has an uneven shape. When the wire mesh bar of the shelf receiving member 7 is engaged with the notch 12, the shelf receiving member 7 is securely fixed to the shelf mounting member 10.

FIG. 5 is a view when the state before placing the plate-like shelf receiving member 7 on the shelf mounting member 10 of the present invention is viewed from below, and FIG. 6 shows the state after placement. It is a figure when it sees from.
The shelf member 7 is securely fixed to the shelf mounting member 10 by the plate material under the shelf receiving member 7 engaging with the notch 12. Moreover, thanks to the notch 12 in the shelf mounting member 10, even if there is no frame member between the columns (that is, the only component of the shelf other than the shelf receiving member 7 is the column 1), the shelf receiving member 7 It can be attached to the column 1. For this reason, since the frame member between support | pillars can be excluded, the low cost of the whole shelf can be aimed at.

  In order to fix the shelf mounting member 10 to the column 1, the column 1 is provided with a tapered sleeve 13. Since the first portion (2a) and the second portion (2b) of the shelf mounting member 10 sandwich the support column 1 via the sleeve 13, the shelf receiving member 7 is placed on the shelf mounting member 10. When the load is applied, the tightening force of the shelf mounting member 10 to the column 1 increases. As a result, the mounting stability of the shelf mounting member 10 can be ensured.

  In addition, in this Embodiment, since the support | pillar 1 is cylindrical shape, the 1st part (2a) and the 2nd part so that the through-hole cross section for pinching the support | pillar 1 of the mounting member 10 for shelves may become circular. (2b) was processed and formed. However, the support column 1 is not necessarily limited to the cylindrical shape, and may be another shape such as a rectangle. For example, in the case of a rectangular support, the cross-section of the through hole formed by fitting the first part (2a) and the second part (2b) is rectangular so that the support can be firmly sandwiched. It goes without saying that it is necessary to process so as to be.
