Description

  The present invention relates to a structure of a connecting member mainly made of metal capable of easily forming a shelf used for various uses, a fence used for suspending various exhibits, a partition, and the like.

For example, display shelves used to display business-related products and other items at stores and offices, etc. are installed as necessary, and those installed for business reasons are removed or their size and installation There is a constant need to change locations. In addition, there are cases where various guides related to work and fences for suspending lightweight products (for example, cloth products) are installed, removed, and changed as occasion demands. Furthermore, it is often necessary to use a space effectively by providing a simple partition in the space. Therefore, it is extremely convenient if it can easily cope with these circumstances. Furthermore, even if it is in a shelf, a fence, etc. used over a long period of time, if it can be simply formed in a desired shape and size, cost and labor can be saved. However, few means have been proposed for solving these purposes.

  The problem to be solved is that shelves, fences, partitions, etc. of the desired shape can be easily formed, and components such as shelves, fences, partitions, etc. are almost damaged even when they are deformed or disassembled. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a connecting member of the constituent member which can be reused.

  In the present invention, when components such as shelves, fences, partitions, etc. are connected to form shelves, fences, partitions, etc., the end of the components is not connected to the end of the connection member without using means such as welding at the connection site. The most important feature is that it is fixed by a magnetic force so that it is inserted and is not dropped off.

  The structure of the connecting member of the present invention comprises a base, a protrusion that is detachably screwed to a predetermined surface of the base, an adhesive member that is fitted with a magnet on the front, and a coupling means between the protrusion and the adhesive member. A cylindrical or panel-shaped structural member is fitted and fixed with a magnetic force by a magnet so that the structural member does not fall off, so that it is very easy to form shelves, fences, partitions, etc. Even when all or a part of the shelves, fences, and the like are disassembled, there is an advantage that the constituent members are hardly damaged because the constituent members may be removed from the protrusions. As described above, since the constitutional member is fixed by a magnetic force so that it does not fall off, the magnet to be used is preferably a neodymium magnet having a relatively strong magnetic force than a ferrite magnet, but of course it is limited to this. It is not a thing.

  For example, when the base of the connecting member is used as a shelf, it is convenient to place a shelf on the end of the base if it is formed in a cubic or quadrangular prism shape, but it may be formed in a sphere or other shape. It is not impossible to select at all.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory cross-sectional view showing a state where the joint member 5 is fitted.

  First, an outline of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 1A, a cylindrical member 9 is attached to the base 1 in order to form a desired shape such as a shelf, a fence, or a partition. The details of the attaching means will be described. As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the base 1 is formed in a cube, and a female screw portion 2 is formed in each central portion of its six surfaces. A cylindrical projection 3 made of steel and provided with a male screw portion 4 at its tip is detachably formed on a desired female screw portion 2. Since the projection 3 is formed to have a diameter that allows the cylindrical member 9 to be fitted, the joining member 5 shown in FIG. 3 is used as means for preventing the fitted cylindrical member 9 from falling off the projection 3. The joining member 5 has a hole 6 formed in the front, a magnet 7 is fitted and fixed by an appropriate means, and a side groove 8 is formed at an appropriate position on the outer periphery as shown in FIG. Then, the length obtained by adding the length from the tip of the joining member 5 to the side groove 8 and the length excluding the length of the male screw portion 4 of the protrusion 3 is measured from the tip of the cylindrical member 9, and the side groove is located at the measurement position. The projection 3 and the joining member 5 are fitted into the cylindrical member 9 so that the front end of the concave portion 8 is positioned, and the concave portion 10 is formed by pressing, for example, two portions located on the upper surface of the side groove 8 on the outer wall of the cylindrical member 9 by appropriate means. Form and fix. If it does in this way, when cylindrical member 9 is inserted in projection 3, it can prevent falling off easily by magnetic force. Therefore, the male screw portion 4 of the protrusion 3 is screwed to the female screw portion 2. In order to facilitate the formation of the recess 10, the cylindrical member 9 may be made of aluminum.

  Next, an outline of the second embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 1B, the panel material 20 is attached to the base 11 in order to form a shelf, a fence, a partition, etc. in a desired shape. The details of the attachment means will be described. First, the base 11 is formed in a quadrangular prism shape as shown in FIG. 5, and a female screw portion 12 is formed in a desired surface, as shown in FIG. The male screw portion 4 of the protrusion 3 is formed to be detachable from a desired female screw portion 12. A joining member 13 shown in FIG. 6 is used as means for preventing the panel material 20 from dropping off when the panel material 20 is attached to the base 11. The joining member 13 has a hole 14 formed in the front portion, and a magnet 15 is fitted and fixed by an appropriate means, and a side groove 16 is formed at an appropriate position on the outer periphery as shown in FIG. And the external thread part 17 is formed in the rear part. When the panel member 20 is attached, in order to join the projection 3 and the joining member 13, the joining member 13 is fitted into the cylindrical member 18 as shown in FIG. The length of the member 13 up to the side groove 16 is measured, and the outer wall of the cylindrical member 18 is pressed by, for example, two portions where the upper surface of the side groove 16 is positioned by an appropriate means to form a concave portion 19 to be fixed. Further, a hole 21 having a shape as shown in the figure is formed in the panel 20, and a female screw member 22 is pushed into and fixed to the inner part thereof, and the male screw portion 17 of the joining member 13 is screwed and fixed. The panel member 20 is attached by first screwing the male screw portion 4 of the protrusion 3 into the desired female screw portion 12 of the base 11 and attaching the connecting member 13 fixed to the panel material 20 as described above to the protrusion 3. What is necessary is just to join.
