BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a connector for connecting a mobile article rack or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are two types of movable article hangings: one proposed by the present applicant and another proposed by others. What is made. These article racks are movably mounted between the upper and lower rails in a loop state via guide rollers or door rollers, respectively. Also, a plurality of article racks are connected to each other by a connector, and rotate integrally. For example, Jpn.
2-266007, Japanese Utility Model Application 2-59639, Japanese Utility Model Application
It is publicly known, for example, in JP-A-3-85927 .

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, however, the article hooks are connected to each other with a connecting tool. However, the article hooking, ie, the connected member and the connecting tool are connected using a fastener such as a screw. That method was time-consuming and troublesome to install and remove the connector. The real No. 3-8
As described in Japanese Patent No. 5927, in a structure in which a fitting of a connected member is formed in a connecting tool and fitted and connected to each other , shapes of the fitting openings formed on both sides of the connecting tool are different.
From the point where it is first inserted into the connected member.
Must be attached to the connected member
The work was insufficient, and there was a possibility that the connecting tool might come off. The present invention has been made to solve the above problems by focusing on the above problems and improving the connecting device.

[0004]

The present invention has the following features. The details are described in the embodiments and the like described later. "On both sides of the main body 2 having a desired length of the connecting tool 1, connecting portions 3 which are respectively removably fitted to the connected members are formed, and the connecting portions are formed with fitting inlets 4 along the outer shape of the connected members and the fitting thereof. An elongated incision 5 communicating with the mouth and extending in the direction of the coupling on the other side of the body 2
In addition, in the direction orthogonal to the kerf, the insertion gap 6 of the connected member having a width smaller than the diameter of the insertion port , and the insertion gap 6 is located on the side opposite to the main body side of the insertion gap in a direction orthogonal to the cut groove. ,
A projecting portion 8 projecting outward from the main body side is formed.
When the connected member is pressed against the protrusion, the protrusion
A connector for connecting a movable article rack or the like, wherein the insertion gap 6 is expanded by pressing and unfolding . "

[0005]

According to the present invention, the incision provided in the main body as described above and the side opposite to the main body side of the insertion gap of the connecting portion.
Is formed by forming a protruding part that protrudes outward from the main body side.
To insert the connected member from the insertion gap into the fitting entrance
Since the protruding portion is pressed against the member to be connected and spreads out, the point is that the connecting portion is twisted or deformed, so that the work of connecting and disconnecting the connecting member to and from the member to be connected can be performed easily and reliably.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of a connector, and 1 is a connector made of synthetic resin. Connecting portions 3 are provided on both sides of the main body 2 having a desired length.
Is formed. The connecting portion is formed so as to be able to be fitted to and removed from the connected member. The connecting portion has a fitting opening 4 along the outer shape of the member to be connected, an elongated slit 5 communicating with the fitting opening and extending in the direction of the connecting portion on the other side of the main body 2, The insertion gap 6 has a width smaller than the diameter of the fitting entrance and is formed in a direction perpendicular to the cut groove.

Reference numeral 7 denotes an outwardly expanding tapered portion formed on the main body side of the insertion gap 6, and reference numeral 8 denotes a side opposite to the main body side of the insertion gap.
It is a protruding portion that is located and protrudes outward from the main body side .
When connecting the connecting member to the member to be connected, when the member to be connected is pressed against the insertion gap, the protruding portion is pressed and spread to the opposite side of the main body, the insertion gap is widened, and the member to be connected is accommodated in the fitting opening 4. As is clear from the figure, the protrusion 8
A large moment at the tip of the kerf 5 by a very small load
This is the structure that works. This structure is formed on the connecting parts on both sides
It is characterized by The connected member may be a part of the structure of the article rack, or may be a member provided to be fitted to the connecting member.

FIG. 2 is a front view of a main part in which adjacent movable article racks 9 are connected to each other by the connecting tool of the present invention.
The known structure of the article rack is omitted from the drawings and description, but is movably mounted between the upper and lower rails via a car or a guide roller. For example, a frame is assembled into a square to form a clothes hanger, or a box-shaped storage shelves. 9a is a circular column, which is a vertical frame for hanging clothes.
The vertical frame members are fitted into the connecting tool. Protrusions into which the connector is fitted may be provided on the upper and lower frames, and the protrusions may be connected by the connector .

FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a state where the connecting member is fitted into the member to be connected. The connected member 9a fits in the fitting opening 4 wider than the insertion gap 6 and does not fall off. When disconnection is desired, the connecting part can be removed by deforming the connecting part, for example, by deforming as indicated by a dotted line. protrusion
Since the groove 8 and the notch 5 are provided, the deformation is easy, and the attachment and detachment of the connecting tool can be surely and easily performed.

In the above embodiment, the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings. However, various design changes can be made without departing from the technical idea of the present invention.

[0011]

According to the present invention, as shown in the embodiments , the kerfs provided on the main body and the projections provided on the connecting portion are used.
Because the connecting part will twist and deform with a small load ,
The work of fitting and removing the connecting tool to and from the connected member can be performed easily and reliably.
