Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs] [0001] The present invention is a device for enhancing the effectiveness of a shelf or a locker for storing books.

[Prior Art] Generally, a bookshelf has a wide space in its width, and it is impossible to prevent the books from tilting or falling down unless the books are stored in full. Even if there is a device to improve this point, the material of the bookshelf or the locker is wood, steel, hard synthetic resin, etc., and since there are various structures, no existing bookshelves or lockers are absolutely effective.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems as an inexpensive device that can be easily installed in an existing bookshelf or a locker. And the inside of the bookshelf can always be kept tidy, which is a great advantage in terms of appearance.

[Means for Solving the Problems] According to the present invention, one hard horizontal bar is attached as a hanging bar to the upper inside of a bookshelf or a rocker, and the bar is inserted into the holes of several separately prepared blocking boards. It is designed so that it can be freely slid to the left and right by passing it through, and the blocking board can be fixed where it seems appropriate. The several fixed blocking plates serve to prevent the book from tilting or falling.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A cap is fixed to an upper part of an inner side wall of an existing bookshelf or a rocker, which supports both ends of the horizontal bar. If the bookshelf or locker is made of wood, the cap is fixed with screws. If it is made of steel, the cap is attached to the magnet, synthetic resin, etc. The horizontal bar should have a thickness of 1 cm before and after, with an oval cross section, and the length should be added to match the width of the bookshelf or rocker. If there are many thin books, it is better to increase the number of books. When the sliding board is slid along the horizontal bar, it floats up to the front, but when it is fixed at any place, it is tightened by 30 to 45 degrees so that it does not move.

[Embodiment] An embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a bookshelf or rocker, 2 is a blocking plate, 2a is the plate itself 2b is a hole through which a horizontal bar is inserted, 3 is a horizontal bar, 4 is a cap for fixing both ends of the horizontal bar, and 5 is a structure in which the cap of 4 cannot be attached. In the case of using a supporting leg in a bookshelf or a locker, it is composed of 5a and 5b, and 7 indicates a stored book.

The features of the above parts will be described in numerical order. When 7 books are stored in the 1 bookshelf or locker, weak articles such as thin magazines and pamphlets may tilt or fall when there is a space between the books and the shelf is wide. It's easy to do. As the curtain plate consisting of 2a and 2b moves freely left and right like a curtain rail in the state of 2a in (Fig. 4) (A), lower it vertically as 2a in Fig. (B). When it is opened, the hole of 2b is made into an elliptical shape according to the cross section of the horizontal bar of 3, so it is fixed by tightening it at that place.

The horizontal bar 3 is supported by the cap 4 of FIGS. 5 (A) and 5 (B). This cap is shown in FIGS. 6 (A) and (B) when the side wall 1 is made of hard synthetic resin. ) 5a and 5b, the height of which is freely adjustable. In other words, the 4a part of the cap is placed on the 6th place of the supporting leg. A part of the back surface of the supporting leg may be attached to the inside of the side wall of 1 with an adhesive or the like. Also, it is convenient to make either of the caps of 4 open so that the horizontal bar of 3 can be easily attached.

[Advantage of Device] As described above, the device of the present invention is not only a new product for a bookshelf but also an inexpensive one that can be easily attached to an existing one to prevent tilting and falling without bending the waist of the book. To do.

The device can accommodate various types of bookcases or lockers.

Even if some books are taken out from the stored books, the adjacent books do not fall down.

Since the inside of the bookshelf or the locker can always be kept tidy, the external appearance has a great advantage.

Claims (6)

[Utility model registration claims] 1. A thin horizontal bar made of a rigid material having an elliptical cross section and fixed at both ends to the upper portions of both side walls of a shelf or a rocker. 2. Two caps for supporting both ends of the rod according to claim 1 to be attached to a side wall of a shelf or a rocker. 3. Two caps with screws if the side walls of the shelf or rocker are made of wood, and with magnets if made of steel. 4. A shut-off board which functions to prevent the upper part of the stored books from being largely moved and to prevent the books arranged next to them from tilting or falling when the books in the books are taken out. This was prepared with several thin plates, and the surface of the rod and the inside of the hole made in the blocking plate were made into an oval shape of the same shape so that it could be hung from the horizontal bar as if it floated and moved freely left and right. When the floating plate is lowered by 30 to 45 ° in any place to make it vertical, the elliptical shapes are displaced and fixed tightly. 5. Two support legs for supporting and stopping the two caps at appropriate positions when it is difficult to mount the caps on the inside of the side wall of the shelf or the rocker because of hard synthetic resin or the like. 6. Two support legs for supporting and stopping the cap at an arbitrary height by engaging two parts.
