This fixture is used to display and sell merchandise at supermarkets, drug stores, etc., and is attached to the frame 2 having a pair of columns 1 and 1 and the lower end of each column 1 and 1 in the front-rear direction. A pair of legs 3, 3 and a connector 4 that connects the column 1 and the leg 3 are provided. The pillar 1 is located in the middle of the leg 3 in the front-rear direction.
The frame 2 has a rectangular frame with an upper connecting member 9 installed between the columns 1 and 1 and a lower connecting member 10 installed between the columns 1 and 1, and a metal wire is placed in the frame. A net 11 assembled in a lattice shape is attached. The pillar 1 has a number of vertically long slits 12 formed on the front and rear surfaces at intervals in the vertical direction. The bracket 13 is appropriately attached by being hooked on the slit 12, and the bracket 13 attached to the left and right pillars 1, 1. , 13, the shelf plates 14, 14,... Can be attached to any desired height on the front and rear sides. Moreover, the shelf board 14 is also attached on the pair of legs 3 and 3 projecting forward and backward.
As shown in FIG. 6, the present fixture is configured such that a pair of legs 3, 3 are connected to the lower ends of the columns 1, 1 of the frame 2 by a connector 4, whereby the frame 2 and the legs 3, 3 are connected. 3 is separable.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the connector 4 is attached to the leg 3 and inserted into the pillar 1, and the pillar insertion part 6 is attached to the opposing face 1 a of the pillar 1 and to the opposing face 3 a of the leg 3. It is comprised with the connection part 7 which contact | abuts. The column insertion portion 6 is formed by pressing a metal plate such as iron and is fixed to the upper surface of the leg 3 by welding. As shown in FIG. 1, the column insertion portion 6 has convex portions 15 projecting inward in the center in the front-rear direction and continuously formed in the up-down direction, and at the front and rear four locations. A circular protrusion 16 projecting outward is provided, and the dimension in the front-rear direction of the column insertion portion 6 is substantially the same as the dimension in the front-rear direction of the space inside the column 1. As shown in FIG. 3, a female screw hole 17 is formed in the lower part of the convex portion 15. When the column insertion portion 6 is inserted into the column 1, as shown in FIG. 1A, the convex portion 15 of the column insertion portion 6 comes into contact with the inner side surface 1 b inside the column 1, and 4 of the column insertion portion 6. The protrusions 16 at the locations abut against the outer inner surface 1c inside the column 1, and the front and rear edges of the column insertion portion 6 abut against the inner side 1d at the front side and the rear side inside the column 1, thereby tilting the column 1 It is held at a right angle to the legs 3 so as not to rattle.
The connecting portion 7 is formed by pressing a metal plate such as iron into a U shape, and includes a contact plate 18 that contacts the opposing surfaces 1a and 3a of the pillar 1 and the leg 3, and a pair of side plates 19 and 19. I have. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the connecting portion 7 has an upper end in contact with the lower surface of the lower connecting member 10 and a contact plate 18 fixed to the opposing surface 1 a of the column 1 by welding. Also protrudes downwards. The contact plate 18 is provided with screw insertion holes 20 in two vertical positions in the form of a long hole in the vertical direction. When the column insertion portion 6 is inserted into the column 1, as shown in FIG. 1, the lower half of the contact plate 18 of the joint portion 7 contacts the opposing surface 3 a of the leg 3, and the screw insertion hole 20 of the contact plate 18. The screws 8a and 8b inserted into the column 1 are screwed into the female screw hole 17 formed in the column insertion portion 6 and the female screw hole 21 formed in the opposing surface 3a of the leg 3, respectively. Are firmly connected and fixed. Since the present connecting tool 4 regulates the tilting of the pillar 1 in the front-rear direction and the inside-outside direction at the two parts of the pillar insertion part 6 and the connecting part 7, it can cope with a large load. In particular, since the connecting portion 7 is fixed in contact with the opposing surface 1a of the column 1 and the opposing surface 3a of the leg 3, the column 1 can be prevented from falling inward and outward, so that the fixture can be moved. When the pillar 1 is pushed or pulled, the frame 2 can be prevented from being deformed into a parallelogram.

  The upper screw 8a is mainly for preventing the column insertion portion 6 from coming off, and can be omitted. In that case, the column insertion portion 6 is formed so as to be closely fitted to the column 1 so as not to easily come off the column 1. For example, the column insertion portion 6 can be inserted by striking with a hammer when inserted into the column 1 and cannot be easily removed. However, the column 1 is fixed in a state sandwiched between the column insertion portion 6 and the connection portion 7 by fixing the column insertion portion 6 and the connection portion 7 with the screw 8a as in the present embodiment. There is an effect of increasing the strength.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the present fixture has a plurality of casters 5, 5,... The casters 5 are attached to the left, right, and left legs 3 at three locations, a front portion, a rear portion, and a central portion. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the caster 5 is attached via a caster attachment portion 22 provided on the leg 3. The caster mounting portion 22 is formed by pressing a metal plate such as iron into a U-shape, and includes a bottom plate 23 and a pair of side plates 24, 24. The upper surface of the bottom plate 23 is the lower surface of the leg 3, and the side plates 24, The outer edges of 24 are in contact with the opposing surfaces 3a of the legs 3, and are attached by welding. A nut 25 is welded to the upper surface of the bottom plate 23, and the caster 5 is attached to the nut 25 by screwing a mounting bolt 26 of the caster 5.
The caster mounting portion 22 at the center in the front-rear direction is located at the same position in the front-rear direction as the column 1 and the connector 4, and the distance between the side plates 24, 24 of the caster mounting portion 22 is connected as shown in FIG. It is formed wider than the interval between the side plates 19 and 19 of the connecting portion 7 of the tool 4, and the connecting portion 7 is sandwiched between the side plates 24 and 24 of the caster mounting portion 22. In this way, the present fixture can be adapted to a large load because the caster 5 is disposed at the same position in the front-rear direction as the pillar 1 so that the load applied to the pillar 1 can be directly transmitted to the ground by the caster 5. The movement is also smooth. Further, the caster mounting portion 22 is made to hold the connecting portion 7 of the connector 4 so that the caster mounting portion 22 and the connecting portion 7 are in contact with the opposing surface 3a of the leg 3 having a limited height as long as possible. Therefore, the connection strength between the pillar 1 and the leg 3 and the attachment strength of the casters 5 by the connecting portion 7 can be increased.

  As described above, the present fixture includes the connecting device 4 that connects the column 1 and the leg 3, and the connecting device 4 is attached to the leg 3 and inserted into the column 1, the column insertion portion 6, and the column. 1 has a connecting portion 7 attached to the opposing surface 1a and abutting the opposing surface 3a of the leg 3, and the column insertion portion 6 is closely fitted to the column 1 or fixed with the column 1 and a screw 8a. Since the lower part of 7 is fixed to the leg 3 with the screw 8b, the column 1 and the leg 3 can be separated from each other when shipping from the factory, thereby saving space. That is, when transporting a large number of fixtures by truck, ship, etc., the frame 2 can be stacked only by the frame 2 and the legs 3 can be packed only by the legs 3, so that they can be loaded in a narrow space, thereby reducing the transportation cost. Can do. In addition, this fixture has the column insertion portion 6 attached to the leg 3 closely fitted to the column 1 or fixed with the column 1 and the screw 8a, and the connecting portion 7 attached to the opposing surface 1a of the column 1 is attached to the leg 3. The pillar 1 and the leg 3 can be firmly connected by abutting on the opposite surface 3a and fixing with the screw 8b. Moreover, since this fixture has the caster 5 inside a pair of legs 3 and 3 which opposes, the caster 5 does not become obstructive at the time of storage or installation. Furthermore, since the connector 4 and the caster attachment part 22 are not visible from the outside, the design is good. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, this fixture can be stacked in the front-rear direction in the assembled state, so that a plurality of fixtures can be stored in a narrow space when not in use.

  FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of the fixture of the present invention. This embodiment is a single-sided type in which the shelf plate 14 is attached only to the front side. The columns 1 and 1 of the frame 2 are connected to the rear upper surface of the legs 3 and 3, and the column 1 and the legs 3 form an L shape. The casters 5 are provided at two locations on the front and rear of the left and right legs 3. The structure of the connector 4 that connects the column 1 and the leg 3 and the point that the casters 5 are attached to the inside of the legs 3 and 3 are the same as in the double-sided embodiment described above.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. The specific shape of the coupler can be changed as appropriate. The fixing tool for fixing the connecting tool to the column and the leg may be an adhesive other than a screw or a rivet that can be attached and detached. The grounding tool is not limited to a caster, and may be a disc-shaped adjuster bolt with a foot or the like. In the embodiment, the connecting portion of the connector is squeezed into the caster mounting portion, but the caster mounting portion can be squeezed into the connecting portion of the connector. The frame can be attached to a panel instead of a net, and neither the net nor the panel can be attached.
