  The present invention relates to a support fixture suitable for supporting an article (product) excellent in stability of fixing to a support column or a support column of a product display shelf used in a supermarket or a mass retailer.

  The product display shelves used in supermarkets and mass merchandisers usually use four support columns, one bracket is supported by two front and rear columns, and one display shelf is supported between the left and right brackets. (Re-Table 2005/046401, Utility Model Registration No. 3186880). There is a case where a column used for a product display shelf or a column used for supporting other than the product display shelf is used for a use other than the product display shelf. That is, since a large number of locking holes are formed in these columns at a predetermined pitch in the vertical direction, the locking portion of the column mounting tool is locked in the locking holes, and the article or article support Is used by hanging.

No. 2005/046401 Utility Model Registration No. 3186880

  However, the conventional support fixture has a pair of upper and lower locking claws that are locked in the locking holes of the support, and the fixing stability is not sufficient.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a column mounting tool suitable for supporting an article having excellent stability in fixing to a column of a merchandise display shelf or a column for support.

  That is, the present invention solves the conventional problem, and is a support fixture that supports an article or an article support by being fixed to a support having at least two upper and lower locking holes, and is attached to the support. And a support part for supporting an article or article support extending forward from the support part, and the support part has a pair of upper and lower locking claws that are locked in the locking hole. A locking claw connecting portion extending in the vertical direction connecting the pair of upper and lower locking claws, and attached to either the upper side or the lower side from the vertical center of the locking claw connecting portion, and one side Screw support seat portion having a screw hole extending in the direction, and the movement of the locking claw connecting portion on the opposite side of the screw support seat portion in contact with the front side surface of the support column in the horizontal and vertical directions And a pair of upper and lower contact surfaces for regulating It is intended to provide.

  According to the present invention, the tip of the screw threaded into the screw hole of the screw support seat portion and the pair of upper and lower contact surfaces are located on the opposite sides in the left-right direction with respect to the locking claw connecting portion extending in the vertical direction. Further, the pair of upper and lower contact surfaces are positioned on opposite sides in the vertical direction with the screw interposed therebetween. For this reason, when the locking claw is locked in the locking hole and screwed, the tip of the screw and the pair of upper and lower contact surfaces come into contact with the side surface of the support column to enable strong fixing. Therefore, stable support can be achieved even when an article or article support is suspended from the support section.

  A column mounting tool according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present specification, “front”, “upper and lower”, and “left and right” refer to directions or positions as viewed from the X direction in the column mounting state of FIG. The strut attachment 10 is fixed to a strut 50 having at least two upper and lower locking holes 51 to support the article or the article support 30. The strut attachment 10 is attached to the strut 50, and the strut It has the support part 2 which supports the articles | goods or the article support tool 30 extended ahead from the attachment part 1. As shown in FIG. The column attachment part 1 and the column part 2 are integrated.

  In the column mounting tool 10, the column mounting part 1 has a pair of upper and lower locking claws 11 a and 11 b that are locked in the locking hole 51. The pair of upper and lower locking claws 11 a and 11 b are locked in the locking holes 51 of the column 50, whereby the mounting position on the column 50 is determined. Further, the locking hole 51 of the support column 50 is usually a vertically long slit hole. Therefore, the pair of upper and lower engaging claws 11a and 11b are plate-like bodies whose thickness direction corresponding to the shape of the slit hole is the left-right direction. The pair of upper and lower locking claws 11a and 11b have the same shape as each other, and one locking claw 11b will be described. That is, the locking claw 11b includes a plate-like arm portion 113b extending rearward from the lower rear end (front end) of the locking claw coupling portion 12 and an arm portion 113b formed at the rear end of the plate-like arm portion 113b. A step 112b having an outer angle of substantially right angle is formed by the arm 113b and the locking protrusion 111b. The height of the locking projection 111 b is slightly smaller than the length (height) of the slit 51 of the support column 50, and can be easily inserted into the slit 51. Further, when the locking projection 111 b is completely inserted into the slit 51, the inside of the column 50 is hollow, so that the locking projection 111 b is immersed in the hollow column, and the arm 113 b is inserted into the slit 51. It will be locked to the lower end. As a result, the step 112b of the locking projection 111b abuts against the hollow back wall of the support 50, preventing forward movement (jumping out) and preventing the support 50 from falling off.

  In the column mounting tool 10, the column mounting unit 1 further includes a locking claw connecting portion 12 extending in the vertical direction connecting a pair of upper and lower locking claws 11a and 11b. The locking claw connecting portion 12 is a plate-like body whose thickness direction is the left-right direction. That is, the engagement claw connecting portion 12 and the pair of upper and lower engagement claws 11a and 11b have a U-shaped side view and a plate-like shape having a thickness (w) in front view. By making the latching claw connecting portion 12 into a plate-like body, the screw support seat portion 14 and the pair of upper and lower contact surfaces 13a and 13b can be easily formed.

  In the column attachment 10, the column attachment part 1 is attached to either the upper side or the lower side from the center of the vertical length of the locking claw connecting part 12, in this example, the upper side, and one side direction. In this example, it further includes a screw support seat portion 14 having a screw hole 141 extending in the left direction. That is, the screw support seat portion 14 is a plate-like body in which a screw hole 141 is formed that flexibly extends perpendicularly to the left side from the rear end of the plate-like locking claw connecting portion 12. A female screw is cut in the screw hole 141 of the screw support seat portion 14. That is, the screw 15 that is screwed into the screw hole 141 moves forward in the screwing direction by screwing. The screw support seat portion 14 is formed on either the upper side or the lower side from the center in the vertical direction of the locking claw connecting portion 12, so that the same two are used, and one of them is inverted in the vertical direction. When used side by side, the screw support seats 14 do not become obstacles to each other, and can be used double at close positions. Thereby, use of a heavier article and article support tool 30 is attained. Further, the screw support seat portion 14 is located on the front side (front side) with respect to the pair of upper and lower contact surfaces 13a and 13b. As a result, when the screw 15 is screwed, the screw tip advances to the rear side (the column side) of the screw support seat portion 14, the tip of the screw 15 hits the front side surface of the column 50, and further screwed, whereby a pair of upper and lower members are engaged. Strong locking of the pawls 11a and 11b can be realized. Further, since the screw support seat portion 14 is located on the opposite side of the left and right direction around the engaging claw connecting portion 12 with respect to the pair of upper and lower contact surfaces 13a and 13b, the left and right deflection of the column attachment tool 10 can be prevented. Disappear.

  In the column attachment 10, the column attachment unit 1 moves in the left-right direction and the up-down direction in contact with the front side surface 52 of the column 50, which is provided on the side opposite to the screw support seat 14 of the locking claw connecting unit 12. And a pair of upper and lower contact surfaces 13a, 13b for regulating the above. The pair of upper and lower contact surfaces 13a and 13b are rear end surfaces of the substantially plate-like bent pieces 13A and 13B. That is, the pair of upper and lower contact surfaces 13a and 13b are rear end surfaces of bent pieces that are bent sideways from the upper and lower ends of the engaging claw connecting portion 12 that is a plate-like body. The substantially plate-like bent pieces 13 </ b> A and 13 </ b> B are bent from the upper and lower ends of the locking claw connecting portion 12 to the side opposite to the screw support seat portion 14 in the left-right direction. Thus, the pair of upper and lower contact surfaces 13a and 13b are located on the opposite side of the screw support seat portion 14 in the left-right direction with the locking claw connecting portion 12 of the plate-like body as the center. Since 13b becomes a horizontally long quadrilateral shape, it effectively acts to prevent the support fixture 10 from shaking in the left-right direction. Further, the distance in the front-rear direction between the locking projections 111 b of the locking claws 11 a and 11 b and the pair of upper and lower contact surfaces 13 a and 13 b is slightly larger than zero or the wall thickness t of the column 50. When the distance in the front-rear direction between the locking projections 111b of the locking claws 11a and 11b and the pair of upper and lower contact surfaces 13a and 13b is the same as the wall thickness t of the support column 50, the slits of the locking claws 11a and 11b Insertion into 51 and locking are not easy and are not easy. On the other hand, the distance between the locking projections 111b of the locking claws 11a and 11b and the pair of upper and lower contact surfaces 13a and 13b in the front-rear direction is determined by the column 50. If it is too large compared to the wall thickness t, it is not preferable in terms of the occurrence of shake in the left-right direction.

  In the column attachment 10, the support 2 is not particularly limited as long as it supports the article or the article support, and examples thereof include a rod-shaped member or a bent body of the rod-shaped member. The support unit 2 may support the article directly on the support unit 2, attach an article support tool, and support the article on the article support tool. In this example, it is a bent body of a rectangular frame-shaped rod-shaped member comprising two upper and lower horizontal bar members 21a and 21b and vertical bar members 22a and 22b connecting both ends of the horizontal bar members 21a and 21b. The rear vertical bar member 22a is fixed to the right side surface of the engaging claw connecting portion 12 between the pair of upper and lower bent pieces 13A and 13B. Reference numerals 23a and 23b are reinforcing members. In addition, the shape of the support part 2 can take various forms, such as one rod member and a plate-shaped member other than the form of this example, for example. The rod-shaped member that is the support portion 2 or the bent body of the rod-shaped member is between the pair of upper and lower bent pieces 13A and 13B and extends forward from the outside of the engaging claw connecting portion 12 as in this example. In the case of the two parallel installation described later, there is no obstacle to the installation.

  Next, the attachment method of the support fixture 10, the action of fixing to the support and the usage method will be described. First, the locking claws 11a and 11b of the support fixture 10 are inserted into the two slits 51 and 51 slightly obliquely from the front. The pair of locking claws 11a and 11b and the two slits 51 and 51 are in corresponding positions. For this reason, the locking projections 111a and the locking projections 111b at the tips of the pair of locking claws 11a and 11b can be easily inserted into the slits 51 and 51, respectively. When the support fixture 10 is further pushed into the support 50 side, the pair of upper and lower contact surfaces 13a, 13b hit the front side surface 52 of the support 50, and if it is lowered a little as it is, the pair of locking claws 11a, 11b has two slits. 51 and 51 are locked. That is, the steps 112a and 112b are locked to the lower corners of the slits 51 and 51. In this state, the screw 15 is screwed into the screw hole 141 of the screw support seat portion 14. Since a screw is cut in the screw hole 141, the screw 15 advances while rotating in the screwing direction. The distal end of the screw 15 hits the front side surface 52 of the support column 50 and further screwed in, so that the pair of locking claws 11a and 11b and the support column 50 are firmly locked, and the support portion 2 is supported perpendicularly to the front side surface 52. The pair of upper and lower contact surfaces 13a and 13b and the front side surface 52 of the support column 50 are closer to each other as they come closer to contact. Further, the tip of the screw 15 and the pair of upper and lower contact surfaces 13a and 13b are located on the opposite sides in the left-right direction with the locking claw connecting portion 12 in between. The pair of upper and lower contact surfaces 13a and 13b are positioned on opposite sides in the vertical direction with the screw 15 interposed therebetween. For this reason, when the locking claws 11a and 11b are locked to the slits 51 and 51 and screwed, the tip of the screw 15 and the pair of upper and lower contact surfaces 13a and 13b come into contact with the side surface 52 of the support column 50 for strong fixation. It becomes possible. Next, the article or article support is supported by the support unit 2. In the case of FIG. 6, a hook-shaped locking portion (not visible in FIG. 6) is formed in the cage container 30 formed of a wire, and the locking portion is locked to the support portion 2. The basket-like container 30 is suspended. Since the support fixture 10 is firmly fixed to the support 50, the support of the cage 30 is also stable.

  Next, a method for attaching the column mounting tool 10 to the column 50 having the double slits 51 and 51 and a method for using the column mounting fixture 10 will be described. That is, the support column 50 has two double slits 51, 51 side by side. One support fixture 10 is attached to one column of slits 51 of the support 50. The attachment method of the support fixture 10 to the support 50 is the same as that described above. As shown in FIG. 4, the engaging claw connecting portion 12, the pair of upper and lower contact surfaces 13 a and 13 b, and the pair of upper and lower engaging claws 11 a and 11 b of the support fixture 10 are outside the column slit 51 attached in the left-right direction. Located in. Further, the screw support seat portion 14 is located between the two slits 51, 51 side by side in the left-right direction.

  Next, in the attachment state of FIG. 4, the second support fixture 10 is attached. The second support fixture 10 is turned upside down. Attach to the support 50 in this state. The method for attaching the second support fixture 10 to the support 50 is the same as that described above. Since the screw support seat portion 14 is attached to either the upper side or the lower side of the center of the vertical length of the locking claw connecting portion 12, it does not become an obstacle when adjacently installed. That is, in this example, as shown in FIG. 4, the locking claw connecting portion 12 of the first column mounting tool 10 is located above the center in the vertical direction, and the second column mounting tool 10 is locked. The claw connecting portion 12 is positioned below the center in the vertical direction, and the two locking claw connecting portions 12 are arranged in a vertical line in the vertical direction at the center in the horizontal direction of the support column 50.

  In the two side-by-side column attachments 10, the bent body 2 of the bar-shaped member, which is the support portion 2, is adjacent to each other in the side-by-side configuration, so that if two side-by-side rod-shaped members are used as the support portion 2, heavy objects can be supported It becomes. In order to remove the support fixture 10 from the support 50, the screw 15 is removed. When the support fixture 10 is loosened, the support fixture 10 is lifted slightly upward and then pulled forward, so that the locking claws 11a and 11b are slit 51, 51. Remove from.

  According to the present invention, when the pair of upper and lower locking claws are locked in the locking holes and screwed, the locking claws are strongly locked. Further, since the pair of upper and lower contact surfaces and the screw support seat portion are located on the opposite side in the left-right direction across the locking claw, the left-right deflection is suppressed, and the fixing stability to the support column is excellent. Therefore, stable support is possible even if the article or the article support is suspended from the support portion. For this reason, the hanging display of plastic bottles becomes possible, and the production of the display can be enhanced. Moreover, the removal to a support | pillar is easy and can reduce work burden.
