[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The embodiment of the furniture tilting prevention device according to the present invention will be described based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the furniture tilting prevention device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a central longitudinal side view of the tilting prevention device shown in FIG. The basic structure of the furniture tilting prevention device according to the present invention is as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 1 and the central longitudinal side view of FIG. The telescopic column 11 that slides inside the pipe 7 as a guide can be fixed to an arbitrary position with respect to the support pipe 7, and the upper end of the telescopic column 11 is larger in diameter than the telescopic column 11 and the upper end surface is flat. The contact member 12 is provided.

In the case of the embodiment shown in the figure, the base 20 comprises a wooden base plate 1 made of wood and a thick wooden trapezoidal reinforcing support 4 fixed to the upper surface thereof by bonding or screwing. The lower part of the support pipe 7 is inserted into the deep support hole 6 provided at the upper center of the reinforcing support 4 to fit it deeply. The configuration of the base 20 is not limited to the above-described form. For example, a similar form may be integrally formed of plastic, or the support pipe 7 may be fixed upright on the upper surface of the base 20. As a means, instead of the means for inserting the lower part of the support pipe 7 into the deep support hole 6, it is also possible to fix using appropriate means such as screwing or screwing.

The shape of the thick trapezoidal reinforcing support 4 may be bilaterally symmetrical when viewed from the side, but as shown in FIG. 2, the trapezoidal front inclined portion 5a is connected to the rear inclined portion 5b. Side, and the inclination angle α of the front inclined part 5a is smaller than the inclination angle β of the rear inclined part 5b. With this configuration, it occurs when furniture is inclined. The support pipe 7 is designed to withstand a large load on the front portion of the reinforcing support 4.

Further, the support pipe 7 and the telescopic column 11 that slides inside the support pipe 7 are all made of stainless steel. However, this material is adopted in consideration of the strength and appearance of the support pipe 7 and the telescopic column 11, and these materials are not particularly limited. Further, various means may be considered for fixing the support pipe 7 and the telescopic column 11 that slides up and down inside the support pipe 7. As shown in the drawing, a plastic material is provided between the support pipe 7 and the telescopic column 11. A flange 21 of the flanged sleeve 8 is interposed, and a flange 21 of the flanged sleeve 8 is protruded axially outward from the support pipe 7. A thin metal nut 9 is inserted into the protruded flange 21. If a method in which the fixing screw 10 is screwed into the nut is used, the fixing can be performed inexpensively and securely, and the sliding of the extendable column 11 can be made extremely smooth.

The abutting member 12 is formed by plastically molding an inverted truncated cone-shaped lower end with a shaft portion 13 integrally therewith. The shaft portion 13 is inserted into the upper end of the telescopic column 11 to form a side. Although it is fixed with a screw 14 from a part, the material and form of the contact member 12 are not particularly limited. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower end of the contact member 12 is formed in a spherical shape 16 and the spherical portion is rotatably wrapped around the upper end of the telescopic column 11 to form a pivot journal. Even if the ceiling T is slightly inclined, the flat upper end surface of the contact member 12 is inclined following the inclination of the ceiling T, so that the upper end surface of the contact member 12 can be in close contact with the ceiling T.

A sponge sheet or a rubber plate is integrally provided as an elastic member 15 on the upper surface of the contact member 12, which makes the contact between the contact member 12 and the ceiling T soft. This is to avoid scratching the ceiling. If the upper surface of the contact member 12 is made of metal or aluminum, it is better to provide such an elastic member, but if it is made of plastic, it is not always necessary. Reference numeral 2 in the drawing denotes an inclined surface formed on the front edge and both side edges of the base plate 1. The inclined surface 2 is used to attach the tilt prevention device according to the present invention to both sides of the top plate of the furniture K. When the device for tilting is viewed from the front or side in the state where it is installed on the edge, it is for hiding the small edge of the base plate 1 to improve the appearance. Not required.

Reference numeral 3 in the drawing denotes mounting holes provided on the front and rear sides of both sides of the base plate 1. A required portion of the mounting holes 3 is used to tilt the base plate 1 according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the preventive device is used to fix the left and right ends of the furniture K on the top plate with wood screws 17. In the furniture tilting prevention device according to the present invention, after the base 20 is fixed on the top plate of the furniture K, the telescopic column 11 is pulled out from the support pipe 7 and the upper surface of the contact member 12 at the tip is placed on the ceiling T. By fixing the fixing screw 10 in the abutting or approaching state, and fixing the telescopic column 11 at a predetermined height, the furniture K is in a state where a strut is interposed between the furniture K and the ceiling T.

Therefore, even when the furniture shakes due to the earthquake, the tilt preventing device according to the present invention has the same effect as the absence of the space between the rear upper surface and the ceiling of the furniture. Furniture cannot be tilted forward because of the furniture, and the furniture does not tilt or fall as in the past. In the above-described embodiment, the two-stage tilt-prevention device that adjusts the height by sliding one telescopic column up and down in the support pipe is used. It is also possible to form more than an anti-tilt device.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example is shown for wooden furniture. However, it is needless to say that the tilting prevention device can also be applied to steel furniture. For example, a double-sided adhesive tape (not shown) may be stuck on the top plate of the furniture, and the lower surface of the base may be pressed thereon and fixed.
