Description

The present invention relates to an assembly set for a storage device and a storage device assembled using the set.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, clothes are generally stored by hanging clothes from hangers on hangers. For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, such a hanger hook has a form in which several pipe beams are hung between several pipe pillars, and hangers are hung on the beams for storage. exist. However, since the storage device as described above has a more complicated structure and looks complicated, it is not preferred to install it in a conspicuous place. are often installed in

On the other hand, in recent years, attention has been focused on the so-called "showable storage," in which storage equipment is intentionally placed in conspicuous places and the stored clothes can be used as interior decoration. "Showable storage" corresponds to a type of storage equipment in which a pipe or the like is fixed to the wall or ceiling of the room and a hanger is hung on the pipe or the like. In visible storage, if the structure of the storage device becomes complicated, the appearance of the storage device becomes complicated. Therefore, it is important to make the structure of the storage device simpler. Also, if you can hang more hangers, you can not only increase the number of clothes that can be stored, but also enhance the decorative effect of clothes, so it is preferable to make the length of the pipe on which the hangers are hung longer. ing.

Utility Model Registration No. 3147576

While it is better to make the pipe in "visible storage" as long as possible, the longer the pipe itself, the greater the risk that the pipe will bend under the weight of the hung clothes and the weight of the pipe itself. In order to solve the above problems, highly rigid metals such as steel and stainless steel pipes are often used. Although such metal pipes have high rigidity, the pipes themselves are heavy, which makes handling difficult when fixing long pipes using fixtures. For example, when a fixture for fixing a pipe is fixed to a wall or the like and the pipe is fixed to the fixture, positioning the pipe with respect to the fixture is troublesome because the pipe itself is heavy. If the surface of the pipe is damaged due to repeated contact between the pipe and the fixture when positioning the pipe, the metallic luster of the pipe is impaired, or the paint film applied to the pipe surface is peeled off. There is Since it is not preferable for "visible storage" that the appearance of the pipe is spoiled in this way, a solution to this problem has been desired.

As a result of intensive studies aimed at solving the above problems, the inventors have found that the above problems can be solved by an assembly set having a specific structure and a storage device obtained by assembling the set, resulting in the present invention.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on specific embodiments with reference to the drawings and the like. It should be noted that the drawings and the following description are merely for explaining one embodiment of the present invention, and do not limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, "up and down", "back and forth" and "left and right" in the text mean the directions described in each drawing.

As described above, the storage device assembly set of the present invention includes:
comprising a rod-shaped member 1 and a fixture 2 for fixing said rod-shaped member 1 to a structural and/or non-structural member of a building;
The rod-shaped member 1 has at least one hole 12 near at least one end on its longitudinal surface,
The fixture 2 includes a flat plate-shaped base portion 21 and a hollow rod-shaped member accommodation portion 23 formed by a wall 22 extending vertically from the base portion 21 , and the wall 22 is attached to the wall 22 . At least one threaded hole 24 is provided therethrough,
At least one stopper 25 protruding toward the center of the hollow from the inner wall forming the rod-shaped member accommodating portion 23 is provided.
It is. Below, after explaining each member, the storage device of the present invention will be explained.

1. Rod-shaped Member The rod-shaped member 1 is a rod-shaped member as shown in FIG. The cross-sectional shape of the rod-shaped member is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a circular shape including an ellipse, or a polygonal shape such as a triangle, a quadrangle, a pentagon, or a hexagon. Moreover, the rod-shaped member may be a so-called pipe-shaped rod-shaped member having a hollow in its length direction, or may be a rod having no hollow. The material of the rod-shaped member 1 is not particularly limited, and materials commonly used for manufacturing such storage devices, such as metal materials such as iron, steel, stainless steel, aluminum and copper, resins and ceramics. materials can be used without any particular restrictions. It is more preferable to use a metal material for the purpose of obtaining the rod-shaped member 1 having higher rigidity with high manufacturing efficiency. The length of the rod-shaped member 1 can be appropriately adjusted on the condition that it is a length that can be used as a storage device. In particular, in the assembly set of the storage device of the present invention, the rod-shaped member 1 can be made long, specifically, 2 to 5 m, in order to achieve "showable storage". The thickness of the rod-like member 1 can also be adjusted as appropriate, provided that it has a thickness that allows it to be used as a storage device. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1(D), the rod-shaped member 1 may be bent at one or more locations.

The rod-shaped member has at least one hole 12 near one end on the longitudinal surface of the main body 11 . In FIG. 1 , two holes 12 are provided in total, one near each end of the main body 11 . As shown in FIG. 1, one hole 12 may be provided near one end, or two or more holes may be provided. The hole 12 may be a hole that penetrates the rod-shaped member 1 (the wall forming the pipe when the rod-shaped member is pipe-shaped) or a hole that does not penetrate the rod-shaped member. Note that "near one end" includes not only the end of the main body 11 of the rod-shaped member 1, but also the area around the end, for example, the rod-shaped member housing portion 23 of the fixture 2 described later. It also includes areas where The size and shape of the hole 12 are not particularly limited as long as the size and shape allow the rod-shaped member 1 and the fixture 2 to be screwed together as described later. When screwing the rod-shaped member 1 and the fixture 2, it is not necessary to form a thread in the hole 12 when using a set screw 3, which will be described later. On the other hand, when the rod-shaped member 1 and the fixture 2 are screwed together with normal screws, the holes 12 may be threaded.

The surface of the rod-shaped member 1 may be coated with paint or laminated with a colored resin sheet. By performing such processing, the decorativeness is further enhanced, and the decorative effect of the storage using the rod-shaped member 1 can be further enhanced.

2. Fixture FIG. 2 is a drawing showing a representative form of the fixture 2 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the fixture 2 includes a flat plate-like base portion 21 and a hollow rod-like member accommodating portion 23 formed by a wall 22 extending vertically from the base portion 21 . The above-mentioned "flat plate shape" includes, of course, a so-called "flat plate" shape in which both the upper and lower surfaces are flat when the base portion 21 is viewed from the front. It also includes a shape that has a change in thickness, for example, a shape that swells from the end toward the center.

The height of the wall 22 from the base portion 21 can be appropriately adjusted on the condition that the rod-shaped member accommodating portion 23 having a depth sufficient to accommodate and fix the rod-shaped member 1 can be formed. In addition, the “vertical direction” means that when the base portion 21 is placed on a plane, the wall 22 extends in the vertical direction when viewed from the plane. Therefore, wall 22 does not have to form a 90° angle with the upper surface of base 21 . Further, the wall 22 may be formed with a rod-shaped member housing portion 23 described later for housing the rod-shaped member 1, and the wall 22 may have one or more cuts in the vertical direction. may be continuous without a break. It is more preferable that the wall 22 is continuous without a break in order to reliably hold the rod-shaped member 1 and maintain the strength. The position of the wall 22 on the surface of the base portion 21 can be appropriately adjusted on condition that the base portion 21 can be provided with a screw hole 26 described later.

The shape of the base portion 21 and the rod-shaped member accommodating portion 23 of the fixture 2 when viewed from the plane direction is not particularly limited on the condition that the rod-shaped member 1 can be accommodated as will be described later. For example, it may be circular including an ellipse as shown in FIG. 2, or polygonal such as triangle, quadrangle, pentagon and hexagon. The planar shape of the base portion 21 and the planar shape of the rod-shaped member accommodating portion 23 may be the same shape, or may be different shapes. Further, any material generally used for storage devices can be used as the material of the fixture 2, provided that the rod-like member 1 can be held and fixed. In addition, as described above, when the rod-shaped member 1 fixed by the fixture 2 is made of, for example, a metal material, the heavy rod-shaped member 1 can be securely held, fixed, and supported. It is more preferable to use metal materials such as iron, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and copper as the material of the fixture 2 .

Said wall 22 is provided with at least one screw hole 24 extending therethrough. In the example of FIG. 2, one screw hole 24 is provided. As will be described later, by aligning this screw hole 24 with the hole 12 of the rod-shaped member 1 described above and fastening with a screw (not shown), the rod-shaped member 1 can be firmly fixed by the fixture 2 .

The rod-shaped member accommodating portion 23 is a hollow space formed by the wall 22 as described above. The rod-like member accommodating portion 23 may be a hole whose lower portion is closed by the base portion 21 and does not penetrate through, or may be a hole that passes through the base portion 21 as shown in FIG. 2 . At least one stopper 25 protruding from the inner wall forming the rod-shaped member accommodating portion 23 toward the center of the rod-shaped member accommodating portion 23 is provided. The number and positions of the stoppers 25 are such that the rod-shaped member 1 is housed in the rod-shaped member housing portion 23 as described later, and the rod-shaped member 1 is positioned at a predetermined position, specifically, the hole 12 of the rod-shaped member 1 and the screw hole. There is no particular limitation provided that the number and position are such that it can be stopped at a position where it communicates with 26 . For example, in the example of FIG. 2 , the stoppers 25 are provided at two locations on the inner wall forming the rod-shaped member housing portion 23 , specifically, the inner wall of the base portion 21 forming the rod-shaped member housing portion 23 . The distance from the upper end of the stopper 25 to the lower end of the screw hole 24 (L2 in FIG. 2) is substantially the same as the distance from the end of the bar member 1 to the end of the hole 12 (L1 in FIG. 1). By providing such stoppers 25 , 25 , when the rod-shaped member 1 is inserted into the rod-shaped member accommodating portion 23 and fixed by the fixture 2 , the positioning of the rod-shaped member 1 can be performed smoothly. Specifically, the repeated contact between the rod-shaped member 1 and the inner side of the wall 22 can further reduce the risk of damage to the surface of the rod-shaped member 1 itself and the coating or laminated film applied to the surface of the rod-shaped member 1. , storage to be seen using the rod-shaped member 1 can be realized more beautifully.

The base portion 21 of the fixture 2 is provided with a screw hole 26 for fixing the fixture 2 to a structural member and/or non-structural member of a building by screwing. The number and opening positions of the screw holes 26 can be appropriately changed depending on the position where the fixture 2 is fixed, the size of the screw used, and the like. Here, "structural member" means a member necessary for safe use of a building. Specific examples of structural members include columns, beams, floors and walls. "Non-structural member" means a member whose direct purpose is not to ensure the safety of buildings or human life. Specific examples of nonstructural members include decorative materials such as ceiling boards, floorboards, and wall materials.

For example, after fixing the fixture 2 to the wall, the rod-shaped member 1 is accommodated in the rod-shaped member accommodating portion 23 and screwed using the screw hole 24 . At this time, it is more preferable that the axial direction of the screw hole 24 is vertical or horizontal as seen from the operator so that the operator can easily screw the screw hole 24 . If the axial direction of the screw hole 24 is slanted, when the rod-shaped member 1 is accommodated in the rod-shaped member accommodating portion 23 and then screwed with the set screw 3 described later, the screw-fastening tool such as a screwdriver may be slanted from the operator's perspective. must be tilted to the side and screwed. The fixing work performed with the screwing tool obliquely puts a burden on the operator's arm, and there is a possibility that the work efficiency is deteriorated.

However, for example, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the screw hole 26 is provided in a direction that is not along the axial direction of the screw hole 24, the screw hole 24 may be vertical when viewed from the operator. Then, even if only a portion of the screw holes 26 (two screw holes 26 on the left side in FIG. 3B) can be fixed to a structural member such as the pillar P or the beam B, the remaining screw holes 26 can be fixed to the pillar P or the beam B. It cannot be fixed to a structural member such as a beam B, and must be fixed to a non-structural member such as a wall material. In general, most non-structural members such as wall materials and ceiling panels are made of thin plate materials. When the fixture 2 is fixed to such a thin plate by screwing, when the metal bar member 1 is fixed with the fixture 2, the screw 27 fixed in the screw hole 26 can withstand the weight of these members. It is difficult, and there is a risk that the fixture 2 will peel off from the wall material.

Therefore, as a specific form of the screw hole 26, as shown in FIG. At least one screw hole 24 drilled in the wall 22 is provided at positions facing each other across the rod-shaped member accommodating portion 23 in the axial direction of the screw hole 24 (the direction of the axis v in FIG. 3A). It is more preferable to provide at least one at each position facing each other across the rod-shaped member accommodating portion 23 in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction (the direction of line h in FIG. 3A). The pillars and beams, which are the structural members of the house, are assembled in a cross shape, and the wall materials, which are non-structural members, are attached to the surface. As shown in FIG. 3C, by using the fixture 2 of FIG. The fixture 2 can be fixed to the structural members of both the pillar P and the beam B using the holes 26 (four screw holes 26 in FIG. 3C), so that the fixture 2 can be fixed more firmly.

3. Set screw The set assembly of the storage device of the present invention may further include a set screw 3 on the rod end. A set screw 3 can be used to fix the rod-shaped member 1 to the fixture 2 . FIG. 4 shows an example of a specific form of such a set screw 3. As shown in FIG. The set screw 3 at the tip of the bar is a screw without a head, and has a threaded portion 31 with a thread and a cylindrical shape thinner than the threaded portion 31 with no thread below it. has a rod tip portion 32 of . The flat end of the threaded portion 31 is provided with a notch 33 (a hexagonal notch in FIG. 3) used when tightening the set screw 3 . For example, the set screw 3 can be tightened or loosened by inserting a hexagonal wrench into the notch 33 and rotating the set screw 3 . Since the set screw 3 does not have a head like a normal screw, the head of the screw does not protrude from the screw hole 24 when the rod-shaped member 1 and the fixture 2 are fixed. , the appearance of the screw fastening portion can be made neater, and the decorativeness of the visible storage can be further improved. In addition, by inserting the rod tip portion 32 into the hole 12 of the rod-shaped member, the rod-shaped member 1 can be more firmly fixed to the fixture 2 .

4. Connector The assembled set of the storage device of the present invention may further include a connector 4 for connecting the rod-like members. As the connector 4, for example, at least one screw hole 42 penetrating through the wall of the connecting portion 41 for accommodating the end portion of the upper rod member 1 and at least one stopper 43 formed of a projection inside the wall are provided. connector. By including such a connector 4, when assembling a storage device using the storage device assembly set of the present invention, for example, the direction of the rod-shaped member 1 can be changed, or the short rod-shaped member 1 can be connected. It can also be used as a longer rod-shaped member 1.

A specific form of such a connector 4 is shown in FIGS. 5(A) to 5(C). The connector 4 in FIGS. 5(A) to 5(C) is made of a pipe bent into an L shape, and has screw holes 42 penetrating through the wall of the connector 41 near both ends thereof. Further, a stopper 43 made of a projection is provided inside the wall of the connecting portion 41 . The cross-sectional shape of the connecting portion 41 is not particularly limited as long as the rod-shaped member 1 can be accommodated therein. For example, a circular shape including an ellipse (see FIG. 5), or a polygonal shape such as a triangle, a quadrangle, a pentagon, and a hexagon may be used. The distance from the end of the connecting portion 41 to the end of the screw hole 42 (L3 in FIG. 4) and the distance from the end of the bar member 1 to the end of the hole 12 (L1 in FIG. 1) are substantially the same. be. With such a configuration, when the rod-shaped member 1 is inserted into the connector 4 and fixed, the positioning of the rod-shaped member 1 can be performed smoothly. Specifically, repeated contact between the rod-shaped member 1 and the inside of the connecting portion 41 may damage the surface of the rod-shaped member 1 itself, or the coating or laminated film applied to the surface of the rod-shaped member 1. By reducing the amount of storage space, storage using the rod-shaped member 1 can be realized more beautifully.

The shape and material of the connector 4 are not particularly limited as long as they can exhibit the functions described above and can withstand the weight of the rod-shaped member. Examples of materials include metals such as iron, steel, stainless steel, aluminum and copper, and ceramics. Moreover, as for the shape, as shown in FIG. 4(E), the shape of an unbent pipe may be used. As shown in FIG. 4(F), the coupler 4 may have a three-pronged shape. As shown in FIG. 4(G), the connector 4 may include a connector retainer 44 for securing the connector 4 to structural and/or non-structural members of the building. By including such a connector securing portion 44, the connector 4 itself can be secured to the structural and/or non-structural members of the building to improve the durability of the overall storage device, e.g. It becomes possible to assemble a storage device that has.

5. Storage Tool By assembling the assembly set for the storage tool of the present invention, a storage tool with high durability can be assembled more easily. Specifically, fixture 2 is secured to the structural and/or non-structural member using screws 27, as illustrated in FIGS. 3B and 3C. In the storage device of the present invention, by fixing the fixture 2 to the structural member, the storage device can be fixed more firmly. "Buildings" include not only ordinary houses, but also buildings in which people do not reside, such as shops, hospitals, government offices, and facilities for the elderly.

After fixing the fixture 2 , the end of the rod-shaped member 1 is inserted into the rod-shaped member accommodating portion 23 of the fixture 2 . At this time, the end of the rod-shaped member 1 collides with the stopper 25 of the fixture 2, so that the hole 12 of the rod-shaped member 1 and the screw hole 26 of the fixture 2 can be aligned very easily. After aligning the hole 12 and the screw hole 26, they are screwed together with a screw (set screw 3 if the assembly set includes said set screw 3). When the rod-shaped member 1 is made longer or the direction of the rod-shaped member 1 is changed, the coupler 4 is used. The connection of the rod-shaped member 1 using the connecting device 4 is performed by inserting the rod-shaped member 1 into the connecting portion 41 of the connecting device 4 to a position where it hits the stopper 43 in the same manner as when fixing the rod-shaped member 1 with the fixing device 2, and screwing. It can be fixed by

FIG. 6 shows a specific form of a storage device obtained by assembling the assembly set of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6(A), the storage device can be installed so as to extend between one wall side and the other opposite wall side. Further, by using the connector 4, the storage device can be fixed on the wall side and the ceiling side as shown in FIG. 6B, or the storage device can be fixed on the ceiling side as shown in FIG. 6C. It is also possible to fix only by Moreover, as shown in FIG. 6, it may be fixed using two fixtures 2, or may be fixed using three or more fixtures 2 (not shown). The location to be fixed is not limited to the ceiling side and wall side of the building, and may be fixed to the floor side. Moreover, the place where it is fixed does not matter indoors or outdoors. Since the layout of the storage device of the present invention can be freely changed, its form can be freely changed according to the place where the storage device is installed, and more effective visible storage can be realized. The storage device of the present invention can also be used for purposes other than storage, for example, as a clothesline or handrail.

The present invention makes it possible to provide visible storage that is highly durable and easy to assemble. According to the present invention, "storage to show" becomes more popular, and more effective space utilization becomes possible.
