Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a latch-type container mounting device, and more particularly, to a container such as a flowerpot planted with flowers or the like, which is held on a veranda fence, fence, wire mesh, or the like. The present invention relates to a latch-type container mounting device for hanging a container.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, containers such as flowerpots, containers, planters and the like in which flowers and the like are planted are placed on the floor and the ground in homes and various stores, and people enjoy watching the flowers. However, such containers are not only placed on the floor or the ground, but also hung on a fence, a fence, a wire mesh, or the like of a veranda.

[0003] In this way, the container is placed on a veranda fence,
It is well known that a hanging-type metal fitting is used when hanging the apparatus by hanging it on a fence or a wire net.
Various types of latch-type brackets are commercially available at gardening counters for plants and the like, and conventional latch-type brackets for flowerpots are formed by bending an iron round bar covered with a resin or the like. That was common.

[0004] That is, a conventionally known latch-type metal fitting for a flower pot is formed by bundling two iron round bars, bending an upper end thereof into an inverted U-shape to form a hook portion, and connecting a lower end portion to the hook. It is configured by bending it so that it protrudes horizontally to the opposite side of the part, and attaching a guard frame part formed by bending a similar round bar into a ring shape on the handle part forming the seat part that supports the bottom of the pot. I was

When a container such as a flowerpot is hung on a fence or a wire mesh using such a hook-type metal fitting for a flowerpot, the upper hook portion of the handle of the hook-type metal fitting for the flowerpot is connected to the wire net. The container is hung and suspended, and then the container is inserted from above into a ring-shaped guard frame attached to a substantially middle portion of the handle in the height direction.

[0006] The container is placed on and supported by a seat located substantially on the center line of the guard frame and below the guard frame. As a result, the flower pot is supported by the seat portion and guarded against falling in the lateral direction by the guard frame portion. As a result, the flower pot is stably held.

[0007]

However, the conventionally known latch-type metal fittings for flowerpots have the following problems. The conventional latch for metal pots is a simple one made by bending a metal round bar as described above.Since the weight is received exclusively by the seat, it is easily bent when the container is heavy. In some cases, the container could not be held safely.

[0008] In addition, the conventional latch-type metal fittings for flower pots are individually hung on a fence or a wire net. could not. Therefore, when there is only one place to be hooked indoors, there is a problem that only one container can be decorated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the embodiment shown in the drawings of a latch-type container placing device of the present invention will be described in more detail. FIG. 1 shows a latch-type container placing device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The latch-type container placing device 1 according to this embodiment includes two elongated flat supporting plates 2. Each of these support plates 2 has a surface 2a as shown in FIG.
Are connected to each other by an auxiliary connecting plate 3 at a substantially middle portion in the height direction, and are integrated with each other in a state where they are arranged substantially in parallel with an interval so as to face each other.

This auxiliary connecting plate 3 is also formed of a thin flat plate,
Both ends are bent at right angles to the surface in the same direction to form a U-shape, and the bent both ends 3a, 3b are brought into close contact with the surface 2a of each support plate 2, and rivets or adhesives (not shown), etc. To connect the two support plates 2 to each other.

The two support plates 2 have a hook 2c formed at the upper end thereof on one side edge 2b side. At the lower end of each support plate 2, one elongated flat plate member 4 is attached and connected to each other. That is, the flat plate member 4 is formed in a U-shape by bending both ends thereof in the same direction at right angles to the surface thereof, and the lower end surface of each support plate 2 is formed by bending both ends of the flat plate member 4. Inside and at the corners, and secured with a suitable rivet or adhesive.

As a result, the plate portion 4a of the plate-like member 4, which is bridged between the one side edges 2b at the lower end of each support plate 2 and substantially connects the side edges 2b, is connected to the first connecting plate. And two flat plates whose bent end plate portions 4b of the flat plate member 4 fixed to the outer surface at the lower end of each support plate 2 project toward the other side edge 2d of the support plate 2. Functions as an arm-shaped plate.

To this end, when bending both ends of one flat plate member 4 to form a U-shape, it is necessary that each length of both ends to be bent is longer than the surface width dimension of the support plate 2. It is. As a result, when the lower end surface of the support plate 2 is tightly fixed inside the bent ends of the flat plate member 4 and on the surface near the corner, the tip of the plate portion 4b at the bent ends is the other end of the support plate 2. Side edge 2 of
d, it projects forward as viewed in FIG.

The ends of these two arm plates 4b are connected by a second connecting plate 5. The second connecting plate 5 is also formed by bending both ends of the flat plate member in the same direction at substantially right angles to the surface in the same direction, and making the bent ends adhere to the inner surface of the distal end portion of each arm plate 4b. Then, it is reinforced with a rivet or an adhesive.

A container receiver 6 is further connected to the front end of each arm plate 4b projecting from the lower ends of the two support plates 2. The container receiving portion 6 is formed by bending a band-shaped flat plate into a substantially ring shape so that its surface 6a becomes a peripheral surface, and each end thereof is overlapped with the front end surface of the above-described arm plate 4b by using a rivet or an adhesive. It is fixed.

In the latch-type container mounting device 1 configured as described above, the upper end sides of the two support plates 2 are formed of a relatively elastic material that can bend to the surface opposing sides. I have. In this case, it is preferable that at least two support plates 2 are formed of a thin metal plate or a plastic plate.

Next, a description will be given of a method of using the latch type container placing tool 1. For example, when a container such as a pot in which a flower is planted is hung on a wire net or the like and hung, the hung-type container mounting device 1 is used. That is, the hook portions 2c formed at the upper ends of the two support plates 2 of the hook-type container placing device 1 are hooked on a wire mesh or the like to be hooked. Then, a container (not shown) such as a flower pot is put into and held in the container receiving portion 6 attached to the lower end of the support plate 2. In this case, a flower pot or the like may be directly placed in the container receiving portion 6, or a saucer (not shown) may be first inserted into the container receiving portion 6 and placed, and the flower pot or the like may be placed on the receiving tray. it can. As described above, since the tray can be inserted and placed in the container receiving portion 6, if it can be placed on the tray, it can be used for display of things other than flowerpots, and various stores and the like can be used. Can efficiently and beautifully display various products.

Since the container receiving portion 6 is formed by bending a band-shaped flat plate so that its surface 6a becomes a peripheral surface,
The bending strength of the container receiving portion 6 itself is very high, so that the container is stably held. The weight of the container acts on the support plate 2 via the arm plate 4b, and the support plate 2 has its surface 2a oriented in a direction orthogonal to the bending force acting on the support plate 2. Since it is used, it is formed of a relatively thin plate material, but has extremely high bending strength.

Further, the flat plate-shaped arm plate 4b connecting the container receiving portion 6 to the support plate 2 is also mounted so that its surface is substantially parallel to the surface 2a of the support plate 2, so that It has a very high bending strength, so that a relatively heavy container as a whole can be stably held, and a very safe hanging support is possible.

That is, two latch-type container mounting devices 1
Are arranged in the vertical direction, and the upper end side of the support plate 2 in the lower latch type container placing device 1 is slightly bent (bent) toward the surface facing side,
It is inserted along the two support plates 2 from the bottom of the upper latch-type container mounting device 1. And the hook part 2c of each support plate 2 in the lower latch type container placing tool 1 is hooked on the first connecting plate 4a of the upper latch type container placing tool 1 and suspended.

Thus, two latch-type container mounting devices 1
Since the container receiving portion 6 is spaced apart in the vertical direction by substantially the length (height) of the support plate 2, if the container is of a normal size, the latching type container mounting device above The container held at 1 does not hit the container held at the container receiving portion 6 of the latch-type container placing device 1 below.

FIG. 2 shows an example in which two latch-type container placing devices 1 are continuously suspended and connected, but it goes without saying that three or four container placing devices 1 can be continuously suspended. Therefore, for example, when there is only one place to be hung indoors, a number of containers can be suspended in the vertical direction using the one suspension place.

In the embodiment described above, for example, the first connecting plate 4a and the arm plate 4b are formed from one plate-like member 4, and this is attached to the lower end of the support plate 2.
In the present invention, it is optional whether each component is individually manufactured and connected to each other, or some components are integrally manufactured.

For example, the first connecting plate 4a, the arm plate 4b and the container receiving portion 6 are integrally formed by connecting the ends of one elongated plate-shaped member, and this is attached to the lower end of the supporting plate 2. After the attachment, the third connection plate 5 may be fixed at a predetermined position, or the two support plates 2, the auxiliary connection plate 3, and the first connection plate 4
a and the arm plate 4b are integrally formed, and the unfolded part is punched from a metal plate, and each support plate 2 is bent and raised to be a semi-finished product, and then the second connecting plate 5 and the container receiving portion 6
Can be formed by attaching to the arm plate 4b.

In the latch-type container mounting device 1 of the above-described embodiment, the container receiving portion 6 is formed by bending a band-shaped flat plate into a ring shape, and includes, for example, an inverted truncated cone-shaped flowerpot or the like. The side was inserted, and the peripheral edge of the upper part of the flowerpot was placed on the container receiving part 6 to receive it.

However, in the present invention, the container receiving portion 1 of the latch type container placing device 10 of another embodiment shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, a belt-like flat plate is bent into a ring shape so that its surface becomes a peripheral surface, and the outer peripheral edge of the bottom plate 12 is fixed to the lower peripheral portion thereof with an adhesive, welding, rivets, or the like to form a tray. It may be formed. Except for this component, it is the same as the latch-type container placing device 1 of the embodiment shown in FIG. If such a latch-type container mounting tool 10 is used,
A pot having a smaller diameter than the container receiving portion 11 can be placed.

[0035]

As described above, according to the latch-type container placing device of the present invention, a relatively heavy, for example, a flowerpot or the like can be obtained with a simple structure formed of a material such as a thin plate. Can stably and safely hold containers such as
In addition, they can be connected to each other while holding the containers and can be continuously suspended.

Further, according to the present invention, a tray can be inserted and placed in the container receiving portion, so that it can be used for hanging displays of things other than flowerpots as long as it can be placed on the tray. In addition, various commodities can be efficiently and attractively displayed in various stores.
