DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a skirting board mounting structure which is mainly mounted on a counter or the like used at a reception office or a guidance office.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A counter installed in a reception office of a company or the like has a top plate, a front panel for supporting the top plate, and a baseboard fixed along the lower edge of the front panel. . Generally, the shape of the front panel is classified into a flat type that does not bend and a round type that bends outward or inward, depending on the place where it is installed. In contrast to such a front panel shape, a skirting board made of a flexible extruded material made of synthetic resin has a groove, and the bottom surface of the groove is fixed by joining the bottom surface of the groove to the front panel with screws. It is composed of a main body and a cover that fits into the groove and covers the surface of the screw. The baseboard has a linear baseboard body created by extrusion molding and is fixed to a round type front panel. When the baseboard is heated, the linear baseboard is bent according to the panel shape. Is.

[0003]

As described above, in the case of the round type front panel, it is necessary to process the skirting board main body in a heated state, which complicates the manufacturing process and makes the front panel having different curvatures. It was necessary to prepare and stock various baseboards according to the above. That is, the extruded skirting board main body has a linear shape, and if it is applied to a round type front panel in its original shape, it is necessary to forcibly bend it according to the shape. When curved in this way, the width dimension of the groove of the skirting board main body becomes narrower than usual in the case of a concave front panel, and wider than usual in the case of a convex front panel. It will not fit.
Therefore, if the skirting board body that has been extruded is heated and softened, and if it is bent according to the curvature of the front panel in that state, the width dimension of the groove will not change from that in the straight state, so heating processing Are doing

However, since the skirting board main body cannot be applied to a round type front panel in a state of being extruded, another step is required, resulting in an increase in manufacturing cost. In addition, it is necessary to stock the skirting board body that is curved with respect to the front panel having various curvatures, which makes inventory management difficult.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate such a problem.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following measures. That is, a skirting board mounting structure according to the present invention is a flexible skirting board mounting structure that is mounted on a mounting surface via a fastener, and the skirting board is provided with an elastically deformable groove, A support wall continuously formed from the opening edge of the groove and having an end edge extending to a position beyond the outer surface of the groove; and a cover having a width dimension smaller than the opening width dimension of the groove in an unused state. In the state where the fastener is arranged in the groove and the end edge of the support wall is in contact with the mounting surface, the outer surface of the groove and the mounting surface are formed according to the shape of the mounting surface. The distance between them is shortened by the fastener , and the elastic deformation in the width direction of the groove is
Adjusting the degree of shape, even if the mounting surface is curved with the opening width dimension substantially equal to the cover width dimension.
The feature is that it can be installed easily.
As the support wall in the present invention, it is preferable that the back surface thereof has a rib extending to a position between the edge and the outer surface of the groove. Further, as the mounting surface to which the present invention can be applied, for example, the surface of the front panel of the counter is suitable.

[0007]

With such a structure, since the skirting board has flexibility, it is possible to attach it along the flat plate-shaped mounting surface or the curved mounting surface without difficulty. . In mounting such a baseboard, the groove for arranging the fastener is
The edge of the support wall extending from the opening end contacts the mounting surface, and when the distance between the outer surface of the groove and the mounting surface is shortened by the fastener in this state, the groove elastically deforms due to the distance. That is,
Although the edge of the support wall does not move when it comes into contact with the mounting surface, the support wall is formed continuously with the open end of the groove. It will press the opening of the groove. As a result, the opening of the groove is elastically deformed according to the pressing force, and the opening width dimension is reduced. Then, by making the reduced opening width dimension substantially equal to the width dimension of the cover smaller than the opening width dimension in the non-use state, the cover can be engaged with the groove. Therefore, even if the skirting board is a curved mounting surface, it can be mounted without difficulty, and the fasteners arranged in the groove can be effectively covered.

[0008]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The counter C shown in FIG. 1 comprises a top plate 1, a front panel 2 for supporting the top plate 1, and end panels 3 connected to the respective side ends of the top plate 1 and the front panel 2. A baseboard 4 extending horizontally is fixed near the lower edge 2a of the front panel 2. The structures of the top plate 1, the front panel 2, and the end panel 3 may be widely known in the art.

The skirting board 4 is an extruded material made of synthetic resin and has flexibility. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the skirting board 4 includes an elastically deformable groove 51 and an opening edge 51 of the groove 51.
a baseboard body 5 formed of a support wall 52 continuously formed from a and extending to the position beyond the outer surface of the groove 51, and an opening width dimension W of the groove 51 in an unused state.
A cover 6 having a smaller width is provided. The difference between the opening width dimension W and the width dimension of the cover 6 in the non-use state may be set so as to be compatible with a curved mounting surface having a small curvature.

The skirting board main body 5 is a long one, in which a groove 51 having a U-shaped cross section and a support wall 52 are integrally formed, and a rib 53 is supported on the back surface of the support wall 52 for reinforcement. Wall 5
It is integrally formed in parallel with the second end wall portion 52b. The support wall 52 is provided on the side opposite to the opening inclined from each opening edge 51a of the groove 51, and its end wall portion 52b.
Is bent in a direction orthogonal to the opening 51b of the groove 51 and extends to the outside of the outer surface 51d of the mounting wall 51c facing the opening 51b of the groove 51. That is, when the skirting board main body 5 is directed to the horizontal plane and the opening 51b of the groove 51 is directed upward, the outer surface 51d of the mounting wall 51c is in a position floating above the horizontal plane, that is, only the edge 52a of the support wall 52 is in contact with the horizontal plane, The end edge 52a is extended so that the outer surface 51d of the mounting wall 51c is held in a position where it does not abut. Further, the edge 53 a of the rib 53 is the edge 52 a of the support wall 52.
Is extended to a straight line position (shown by an imaginary line in FIG. 3) substantially parallel to the inclination angle of the support wall 52 extended from. Then, in the mounting wall 51c, a long hole 51 which is long in the width direction of the groove 51 at a predetermined interval and through which the mounting screw 7 as a fastening tool penetrates.
e is provided. The mounting screw 7 is the outer surface 5 of the mounting wall 51c.
A length longer than the distance from 1d to the straight line connecting the end edges 52a of the support walls 52 vertically is used.

Like the groove 51, the cover 6 has a U-shaped cross section. The cover 6 has a depth dimension substantially equal to the depth of the groove 51, and is formed with a width dimension smaller than the opening width dimension W in an unused state in which the groove 51 is not elastically deformed.

In the case where the front panel 2 shown in FIG. 1 has a flat plate-like shape, the outer surface 51d of the mounting wall 51c is floated from the surface of the front panel 2 as shown in FIG. In this state, it is fixed by the attachment screw 7 which is a fastener. That is, the skirting board main body 5 is held in a state in which only the end edge 52a of the support wall 52 is in contact with a predetermined position near the lower edge 2a of the front panel 2, and the mounting screw 7 is passed through each elongated hole 51e to allow room for tightening. Fasten with the remaining parts (Fig. 4). The mounting screw 7 is fastened until the opening width dimension of the groove 51 becomes substantially equal to the width dimension of the cover 6, and the mounting wall 51
It is not up to where the outer surface 51d of c contacts the surface of the front panel 2. In other words, as you tighten the mounting screws 7,
Mounting wall 51c of the groove 51 is gradually pressed against the front panel 2, the distance L between the outer surface 51d and the front panel 2 surface of the mounting wall 51c is shorter than the distance when held against the core print body 5. As a result, the support wall 52 is pushed by the front panel 2 and can be regarded as the free end of the groove 5.
The first opening edge 51a is pressed, and as a result, the respective opening edges 51a approach each other, and the opening width dimension decreases. In this case, since the rib 53 is provided on the back surface of the support wall 52, even if the groove 51 is elastically deformed in the width direction by tightening the mounting screw 7, the support wall 52 is not deformed in the longitudinal direction. Even if the distance between the screws 7 is slightly long, the pressing force acts on the groove 51 even in the middle portion thereof similarly to the vicinity of the mounting screw 7, and similarly elastically deforms. Then, when the opening width dimension substantially coincides with the width dimension of the cover 6 over the entire length of the groove 51, the fastening of the mounting screw 7 is stopped. Then, the cover 6 is mounted in the groove 51 to hide the mounting screw 7.

When the front panel 2 is placed on the floor with a gap between the lower edge 2a and the floor by, for example, height adjustment, the skirting board main body 5 is temporarily placed on the lower side. It slides in the stopped state to cover the gap such that the lower end wall portion 52b abuts on the floor. In this state, the rib 53 located on the lower side comes into contact with the front panel 2 and contributes to the elastic deformation of the opening 51b in place of the lower edge 52a. Then, thereafter, as in the case described above, the mounting screw 7 is tightened, and the tightening is stopped at a position where the opening width dimension is substantially equal to the width dimension of the cover 6,
The cover 6 is mounted in the groove 51 to hide the mounting screw 7 (FIG. 6).

Next, the mounting structure of the skirting board 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8 when the front panel 102 is curved outward. When the front panel 102 is curved in a convex arc shape, when the mounting screws 7 are temporarily fixed to the skirting board main body 5 sequentially from the end in the longitudinal direction, the skirting board main body 5 is attached to the front panel 102. It bends according to the curved shape. In this temporarily fixed state, the skirting board main body 5 is convexly curved in the direction of the opening 51b of the groove 51, so that the support wall 52 is moved to the groove 51 every time the edge 52a of the support wall 52 contacts the surface of the front panel 102. The opening edge 51a is pulled toward the outer side of the groove 51, and as a result, the groove 51 is elastically deformed to increase the opening width dimension. Therefore, the mounting wall 5
The mounting screw 7 is tightened until the outer surface 51d of 1c contacts the surface of the front panel 102, the mounting wall 51c is moved to the front panel 102 side, and the opening edge 51a is elastically deformed outward in the curved shape when temporarily fixed. Elastically deform in the opposite direction from the state. As a result, the width of the opening is reduced, and the cover 6 can be held.

On the contrary, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, when the front panel 202 is curved in the shape of a concave arc, the support wall 52 is temporarily fixed and the support wall 52 opens the edge 5 of the groove 51.
1a is pressed toward the inside of the groove 51.
Therefore, the respective opening edges 51a are close to each other,
The width dimension of the opening 51b at that time is slightly smaller than the opening width dimension W in the unused state. Then, from this temporarily fixed state, the mounting screw 7 is tightened, and the outer surface 51d of the mounting wall 51c is tightened.
Since the opening width dimension and the width dimension of the cover 6 are substantially equal to each other when a slightly larger distance is opened between the front panel 202 and the front panel 202 than in the case of the flat panel-shaped front panel 2, the mounting screw is attached. 7 tightening is completed and cover 6 is inserted into groove 5.
Attach to 1.

As described above, since the skirting board main body 5 is flexible, the curved front panels 102, 20 are provided.
No. 2 can be attached without performing heat treatment or the like in advance. Further, the degree of elastic deformation of the groove 51 for mounting the cover 7 is adjusted depending on the tightened state of the mounting screw 7 to make the opening width dimension smaller than the original opening width dimension W, regardless of the curved state of the front panel. Instead, the cover 7 can be fitted into the groove 51. Therefore, the baseboard 4 may be stored in the extruded state as it is, and the front panel 2, 102 to which the baseboard 4 is attached,
It is not necessary to prepare one corresponding to the shape of 202. That is, it can be commonly used in various counters C. Therefore, the manufacturing process and inventory control can be simplified, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.

In addition, the configuration of each section is not limited to the illustrated example, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0020]

As described in detail above, the present invention has a groove which is flexible and elastically deformable, and a position which is formed continuously from the opening edge of the groove and exceeds the outer surface of the groove. A skirting board having a support wall whose end edge extends up to and a cover having a width dimension smaller than the opening width dimension of the groove when not in use, with the edge of the support wall abutting the mounting surface. Depending on the shape of the mounting surface, the distance between the outer surface of the groove and the mounting surface can be shortened by the fasteners placed in the groove to reduce the degree of elastic deformation in the width direction of the groove.
Since it is adjusted and the opening width dimension is made approximately equal to the width dimension of the cover, it can be attached to a flat plate-shaped or curved mounting surface without the need for pre-processing according to the shape of the mounting surface. . Further, since one type of baseboard can be used for various mounting surfaces, the manufacturing process and inventory management can be simplified.
