Description

  The present invention relates to a panel support suitable for supporting a door mounting panel, a partition panel, and the like in a toilet booth or an office.

  In a toilet booth, generally, a support panel for attaching a toilet door and a partition panel used for a partition are received and supported by a panel support from the bottom, and the gap between the floor and the floor is adjusted to a predetermined height. Supports the position.

  Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, for example, the conventional panel support includes a fixing means a in which a base 3a is crimped to a fixing member 2 fixed to the floor surface 1 and an adjustment bolt 3 is erected, and an inner peripheral surface. An adjustment pipe b in which the internal thread 4 is cut and a mounting means c in which a base 7a is caulked to a receiving member 6 for receiving the panel 5 and an adjustment bolt 7 is erected are provided. When the fixing means a and the attaching means c are connected by screwing and the adjusting pipe b is rotated, the screwing position can be changed. By changing the screwing position, the panel mounted on the receiving member 6 is attached. 5 is supported by adjusting the height of the gap d opened with the floor 1.

In addition, the conventional panel support rotates the adjustment pipe b so that the adjustment bolts 3 and 7 and the adjustment pipe b are not loosened over time by repeatedly receiving shocks and vibrations by opening and closing the door. After the height of the gap d is adjusted, for example, a screw screw type set screw 9 is screwed into a screw hole 8 for preventing loosening formed in the outer periphery of the adjustment pipe b to lock the rotation of the adjustment pipe b. I have to.
Registered Utility Model No. 3008383

  However, in the conventional panel support, when the adjustment pipe b is turned and the height of the gap d is adjusted, the position of the screw hole 8 for preventing loosening is often not directly opposite to the operator. In addition, it is difficult to screw the set screw 9 into the screw hole 8, and even if the screw hole 8 is directly opposite without being displaced, the set screw 9 is small and difficult to handle. However, in some cases, there was a problem that it might be lost during work.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a panel support that makes it easy and reliable to prevent loosening of an adjusting bolt and an adjusting pipe without using a separate locking screw for locking.

  Therefore, the invention described in claim 1 is, for example, as shown in the embodiment shown below, the adjustment bolts 11 and 14 are screwed and connected to a metal adjustment pipe 12 having an internal thread 12a cut on the inner peripheral surface, By changing the screwing position, the panel support S supports the panel P at a predetermined height position by adjusting the gap d opened between the panel P and the floor surface F, and the adjusting bolts 11 and 14 are The metal receiving member such as the support plate 13 that receives the panel P or the metal fixing member that is fixed to the floor surface F such as the support rose 10 is integrally formed with resin by insert molding, and free at the center. The hollow portions 19 and 24 that open toward the end side are provided to stand upright in a cylindrical shape, and the cylindrical portions 20 and 25 are formed of a pair of thick walls in which male screws m and n are screwed on symmetrical circumferential surface portions. Expanded part While forming 0a and 25a, a pair of reduced-diameter portions 20b and 25b having a thin and concave shape are formed in the symmetrical peripheral surface portion between the enlarged-diameter portions 20a and 25a without screwing male screws. And

  The invention according to claim 2 is the panel support S according to claim 1, in which, for example, as shown in the embodiment shown below, the receiving member or the fixing member is provided with the adjusting bolts 11 and 14 during insert resin molding. The base mounting holes 15 and 16 into which the base portions 11a and 14a are fitted are formed with irregularly shaped anti-rotation holes.

  The adjusting bolt according to claim 1, wherein the adjusting bolt is integrally formed with a resin by insert molding with respect to a metal receiving member that receives the panel or a metal fixing member that is fixed to the floor surface, and a free end side at the center. A hollow hole is provided to open toward the end of the cylinder, and the cylindrical portion is erected in a cylindrical shape. While forming the diameter portion, a pair of reduced diameter portions that are thin and concave as much as there are no threads are formed on the symmetrical peripheral surface portion between the enlarged diameter portions, so that the cylindrical portion Since the wall thickness is different in the circumferential direction between the enlarged diameter part and the reduced diameter part, there is a difference in the degree of shrinkage in the process of resin cooling immediately after insert molding, and the slow expansion due to the difference in the degree of shrinkage. The male thread is deformed at the diameter, and the thread pitch is strained on the male thread. Formed by molding the locking shape including a part not. Therefore, in the panel support of the present invention, since the internal thread of the adjustment pipe and the external thread of the resin adjustment bolt with a partially irregular screw pitch are screwed into a screw fastening state, the impact or vibration that loosens this over time, etc. Even if the external force is repeatedly received, the elastic repulsive force of the male screw side of the resin adjustment bolt generates a strong frictional bonding force with the female screw on the adjustment pipe side, and the screw fastening state is loosened by this frictional bonding force. It can be securely locked so that it does not. Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, (1) the adjustment bolt and the adjustment pipe can be securely fastened without loosening over time without using a separate set screw for preventing loosening. Thus, there is no problem of losing the set screw as in the prior art, and loosening of the adjusting bolt and the adjusting pipe can be prevented easily and reliably without trouble. In addition, (2) since the adjustment bolt has a symmetrical shape between the expanded diameter part in which the cylindrical part is screwed with the male screw and the reduced diameter part that is not, the adjustment bolt is integrated with the metal receiving member or the fixing member with the resin. After insert molding, the mold can be easily and quickly released without trouble by simply dividing the mold into two in the opposite direction. In addition, according to the first aspect of the invention, (3) the adjustment bolt of the panel support is not made of metal, which has recently increased in price, but is formed of an inexpensive resin to realize a loosening prevention shape. Cost can be reduced.

  According to the invention described in claim 2, when the insert resin is molded, the adjusting bolt is integrally formed by fitting the base portion into the mounting hole of the detent of the receiving member or the fixing member, and is molded in the detent lock state. Securely lock the adjustment bolt so that it does not rotate with respect to the receiving member or the fixing member even if it receives external force to loosen the screw by rotating the adjustment bolt over time, such as impact or vibration. The effect of preventing the screw from loosening can be promoted.

  Hereinafter, the best embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 9 shows a toilet door panel structure in a toilet booth to which a panel support as an example of the present invention is applied. In the door panel structure, a plurality of support panels P are arranged flush with each other and connected together by an upper headboard R, and each support panel P is connected to the floor surface F by the panel support S of the present invention. The gap d is adjusted and supported at a predetermined mounting height position, and the door panel D is rotatably attached to and supported by the support panel P on one side.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the panel support S of the present invention includes a fixing means A in which a base 11 a is connected to a support rose 10 of a fixing member fixed to a floor surface F, and an adjustment bolt 11 of a screw tool is erected, An adjusting pipe 12 of a fastener having an internal thread 12a cut on the inner peripheral surface, and a mounting means B in which a base portion 14a is connected to a support plate 13 of a receiving member for receiving the support panel P and an adjusting bolt 14 of the screw tool is erected. It is equipped with.

  In the fixing means A, the support rose 10 is made of a metal, for example, stainless steel, in a disk shape, and provided with a mounting hole 15 into which the base 11a of the adjusting bolt 11 is fitted at the center, while the peripheral edge 10a is bent downward and reversed. Shaped in a dish shape. The mounting hole 15 is not a perfect circle hole, but is formed with an irregular anti-rotation hole, for example, a hexagonal hole as shown in FIG.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the fixing means A integrally forms the adjustment bolt 11 with resin by insert molding with respect to the support rose 10. The adjustment bolt 11 is provided with a hollow hole 19 that opens toward the free end at the center, and is erected in a cylindrical shape. The cylindrical portion 20 is provided with a male screw m at a symmetrical peripheral surface portion. Then, while forming a pair of enlarged diameter portions 20a that are thicker than the height of the thread, a male screw is not screwed on the symmetrical peripheral surface portion between the enlarged diameter portions 20a, and the thickness is reduced as much as there is no thread. A pair of reduced diameter portions 20b having a concave shape is formed into a loosening prevention shape.

  In other words, according to the present invention, the adjustment bolt 11 has a different thickness in the circumferential direction between the enlarged diameter portion 20a and the reduced diameter portion 20b of the cylindrical portion 20, so that the degree of contraction differs in the process of resin cooling immediately after insert molding. Based on the difference in the degree of shrinkage, the male screw m is deformed at the diameter-expanded portion 20a that is slow to cool, and the male screw m is molded into a loosening prevention shape including a portion where the screw pitch is not uniform due to strain. In addition, in the fixing means A, during the insert resin molding, the adjusting bolt 11 is formed by integrating the base 11a into the hexagonal mounting hole 15 of the support rose 10 and forming it in a non-rotating locked state. In the present invention, the fixing means A has a symmetrical shape with the enlarged bolt portion 20a in which the cylindrical portion 20 is screwed with the male screw m and the concave reduced diameter portion 20b in which the adjusting bolt 11 is not screwed. After the insert molding is integrally performed with the metal support rose 10 and the resin, the mold can be easily and quickly released without trouble by simply dividing the mold into two in the opposite direction.

  In the mounting means B, the support plate 13 is made of a narrow metal plate, for example, a stainless steel plate, corresponding to the thickness of the support panel P, and as shown in FIG. An attachment hole 16 into which the base portion 14a is fitted is provided. The mounting hole 16 is formed in two stages by drilling one side of the plate thickness direction in a non-rotating anti-rotation hole, for example, a hexagonal hole shown in FIG. 4, and drilling the other side receiving the support panel P in a round hole. Forming.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5 as well as the attachment means B, the adjustment bolt 14 is integrally formed with resin by insert molding on the support plate 13. The adjustment bolt 14 is provided with a hollow hole 24 that opens toward the free end at the center and is erected in a cylindrical shape. The cylindrical portion 25 is provided with a male screw n at a symmetrical peripheral surface portion. Thus, a pair of enlarged diameter portions 25a that are thicker than the height of the thread are formed, while a male screw is not screwed on the symmetrical peripheral surface portion between the enlarged diameter portions 25a, and the thickness is reduced as much as there is no thread. It shape | molds in the shape which formed a pair of diameter-reduced part 25b which became concave.

  That is, even in the mounting means B, the adjustment bolt 14 has a different thickness in the circumferential direction between the enlarged diameter portion 25a and the reduced diameter portion 25b of the cylindrical portion 25, so that the degree of contraction is reduced in the process of resin cooling immediately after insert molding. Based on the difference in the degree of contraction, the male screw n is deformed by the slow-expanded diameter-expanded portion 25a, and the male screw n is molded into a loosening prevention shape including a portion where the screw pitch is not uniform due to strain. . In addition, in the mounting means B, during the molding of the insert resin, the adjustment bolt 14 is formed by integrating the base portion 14a into the hexagonal mounting hole 16 of the support plate 13 and forming it in a non-rotating locked state. In the present invention, the attachment means B also has the symmetrical shape of the adjustment bolt 14 with the enlarged diameter portion 25a in which the cylindrical portion 25 is screwed with the male screw n and the concave reduced diameter portion 25b. After the insert molding is integrally performed with the metal support plate 13 and the resin, the mold can be easily and quickly released without trouble by simply dividing the mold into two in the opposite direction.

  On the other hand, the adjustment pipe 12 is made of metal and is formed in a tubular shape with aluminum in the illustrated example. As shown in FIG. 1, the internal thread 12 a has a threaded portion on one side in the length direction and an enlarged diameter of the adjustment bolt 11. In accordance with the screw direction of the male screw m in the portion 20a, for example, a left screw is formed, while the screw portion on the other side is formed in accordance with the screw direction of the male screw n in the enlarged diameter portion 25a of the adjusting bolt 14, for example, with a right screw. is doing.

  Accordingly, the panel support S having the above-described component configuration is configured such that the male screw m of the adjusting bolt 11 is screwed to one side of the female screw 12a of the adjusting pipe 12, while the male screw n of the adjusting bolt 14 is screwed to the other side. The fixing means A and the attaching means B are connected and assembled by the adjusting pipe 12. Then, by changing the screwing position of the adjustment pipe 12, the fixing means A and the attachment means B are expanded and contracted so as to be adjustable in height.

  When the support panel P is erected with the panel support S configured as described above, the support plate 13 of the mounting means B is screwed to the lower end surface of the support panel P, and the panel support S is attached to the support panel P. Assemble. Thereafter, the support panel P is lifted and the upper end of the panel is assembled to the headboard R and suspended. Then, while appropriately adjusting the adjustment pipe 12 or the fixing means A with respect to the fixing means B in the fixed state, the length of the panel support S is adjusted in accordance with the gap d with the floor surface F, and the support rose 10 is fixed to the floor. After pressing against the surface F, it is screwed to the floor surface F as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, and the support panel P is received and supported by the panel support S from below. In this case, if the mounting height position of the support panel P is not accurate, the adjustment pipe 12 or the fixing means A is rotated, and the panel support S is vertically expanded and contracted as shown in FIG. The gap heights d1 and d2 with the surface F are adjusted, and the support panel P is positioned and supported at a predetermined mounting height position.

  By the way, in the door panel structure of the toilet booth, the panel support S receives external force to loosen the screwing of the adjusting bolts 11 and 14 and the adjusting pipe 12 such as repeated impact and vibration by opening and closing the door panel D. . However, in the panel support S of the present invention, even if such an external force is applied over time, the female thread 12a of the adjusting pipe 12 and the male thread m of the resin adjusting bolts 11 and 14 whose thread pitches are not uniform are partially obtained. Since n is screwed into a screw fastening state, a strong frictional joining force is generated between the adjusting screw 11 and the female screw 12a on the adjustment pipe 12 side due to the elastic repulsive force of the male adjusting screw 11 and 14 on the male screw m and n side. This frictional joining force can be surely locked so that the screw fastening state is not loosened.

  In addition, in the illustrated panel support S, the adjustment bolts 11 and 14 are integrally formed with the base portions 11a and 14a being fitted into the hexagon mounting holes 15 and 16 of the support rose 10 and the support plate 13 in a non-rotating state, respectively. Even if an external force is applied to loosen the screw by rotating the adjusting bolts 11, 14 such as impact or vibration over time, the adjusting bolts 11, 14 rotate with respect to the support rose 10 and the support plate 13 and come off. It can be securely locked so that the effect of preventing the screws from loosening can be further promoted.

  The panel support S in the illustrated example has a structure in which the adjustment bolt 14 of the attachment means B and the adjustment bolt 11 of the fixing means A are screwed and connected to the upper and lower ends of the adjustment pipe 12 so that they can be expanded and contracted. The present invention is not limited thereto, and may have a structure in which an adjustment pipe is erected on the fixing means side, and an adjustment bolt on the attachment means side is screwed to the upper end side of the pipe so as to be extendably connected. Further, a structure in which an adjustment pipe is erected on the attachment means side, and an adjustment bolt on the fixing means side is screwed to the lower end side of the pipe, and is similarly connected so as to be extendable and contractible.
