The first bracket 34 is connected to the first end 38 of the adjacent first rail 28, and the first bracket 34 is attached to the third support column 22 of the rack 10.
The second bracket 36 is adjacent to the second end 40 of the adjacent first rail 28, and the second bracket 36 is attached to the fourth support pillar 24 of the rack 10.

As shown in FIG. 2, the first bracket 34 further includes a side plate 42, an end plate 44, a guard component 46, an elastic component 48, and at least one attachment component 50.

The side plate 42 includes an upper side wall 52, a lower side wall 54, and a surface portion 56 that is connected approximately vertically between the upper side wall 52 and the lower side wall 54. The surface portion 56 includes a first window 60 and a second window 62.
The contact connection base 58 protrudes from the surface portion 56 approximately, and the direction of protrusion is opposite to the direction of the upper side wall 52 and the lower side wall 54. There is an altitude difference between the contact connection base 58 and the surface portion 56. Accordingly, the accommodation space 66 is formed jointly between the surface portion 56 and the contact connection table 58, and the contact connection table 58 includes the contact connection unit 64 adjacent to the second window 62.

  The first window 60 is close to the end of the side plate 42. The end plate 44 extends from the side plate 42 and is adjacent to the first window 60. The end plate 44 is provided perpendicular to the surface portion 56 of the side plate 42. The end plate 44 includes at least one localization hole 68.

In the present embodiment, the side plate 42 further includes a pair of ear portions 61 and a pair of support portions 63.
The pair of ears 61 extend from the upper side wall 52 and the lower side wall 54 in the protruding direction of the contact connection table 58 and are adjacent to both sides of the second window 62.
Each ear 61 includes a hole 65, and the holes 65 of the pair of ears 61 correspond to each other.

The pair of support parts 63 are installed between the pair of ear parts 61.
Each support portion 63 includes an arcuate recess 67 corresponding to the hole 65 of the pair of ear portions 61, and the pair of support portions 63 extends from the peripheral edge of the second window 62 and protrudes.

  The guard component 46 includes a first portion 70, a second portion 72, and an intermediate portion 74. The intermediate portion 74 is connected between the first portion 70 and the second portion 72. The first portion 70 and the second portion 72 are symmetrical to each other, and include a first side portion 76, a second side portion 78, and a connecting wall 80 that is connected between the first side portion 76 and the second side portion 78. Prepare each. The first side portion 76 and the second side portion 78 each include a hole 77, and the hole 77 of the first side portion 76 and the hole 77 of the second side portion 78 correspond to each other. The first side 76 includes an extension section 82. The intermediate portion 74 includes a first end portion 84 and a second end portion 86 corresponding to the first end portion 84.

  The elastic component 48 includes a curved portion 88 and a branch portion 90. The curved portion 88 corresponds to the contact connection portion 64 of the contact connection table 58. The branch portion 90 includes a recessed space 92 corresponding to the second end 86 of the intermediate portion 74 of the guard component 46.

At least one mounting component 50 is installed in the stereotaxic hole 68 of the end plate 44 and corresponds.
As described above, the movable connecting part 47 is further connected to the first part 70 of the guard part 46 and the hole 77 of the first side part 76 and the second side part 78 on the second part 72, and the hole 65 of the ear part 61 of the side plate 42. And the arcuate recess 67 of the support part 63 of the side plate 42 is installed to correspond.

  Since the coupling structure of the first bracket 34 and the second bracket 36 is a homologous form, the structure of the second bracket 36 will not be described here.

  As further shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the guard part 46 is moved by a movable connecting part 47 through a hole 77 in a first side 76 and a second side 78 on the first part 70 and the second part 72 of the guard part 46. It passes through the hole 65 of the ear portion 61 of the side plate 42 and the arc-shaped concave portion 67 of the support portion 63 of the side plate 42 and is movably connected to the side plate 42.

The local part of the elastic part 48 enters the accommodation space 66 between the surface part 56 of the side plate 42 and the contact connection base 58. Accordingly, the curved portion 88 of the elastic component 48 contacts the contact connection portion 64 of the contact connection base 58, and the branch portion 90 of the elastic component 48 contacts the second end portion 86 of the intermediate portion 74 of the guard component 46. .
Therefore, the guard part 46 is subjected to the elastic force generated by the elastic part 48, and the extending section 82 of the guard part 46 contacts the surface portion 56 of the side plate 42. Thus, the guard component 46 is held at a predetermined position.

  At least one attachment component 50 is fixedly connected to the end plate 44. At the time of attachment, the first bracket 34 is localized by passing at least one attachment component 50 from the outside to the inside through the hole 26 of the third support column 22. As a result, the first bracket 34 is attached to the third support column 22, and the first end 84 of the intermediate portion 74 of the guard component 46 corresponds to the third support column 22.

That is, at the time of attachment, the intermediate portion 74 surface 83 of the guard part 46 of the first bracket 34 first comes into contact with the third support column 22. Next, when the force F1 is applied, the guard component 46 overcomes the elasticity of the elastic component 48 by the force F1 and rotates somewhat.
At the same time, when the mounting part 50 is aligned with the hole 26 of the third support column 22 and a force F <b> 2 is applied, the local part of the mounting part 50 passes through the hole 26. At the same time, the guard component 46 is disconnected from the contact connection with the third support column 22 and is restored to a predetermined position by the elasticity released by the elastic component 48, and thus the first bracket 34 is moved to the third support column 22. Mounted on top and localized.

FIG. 4 shows a state where the first bracket 34 is attached to the third support column 22. Under this condition, the mounting part 50 of the first bracket 34 passes through the hole 26 of the third support column 22, and the first end 84 of the intermediate part 74 of the guard part 46 of the first bracket 34 is connected to the third support 34. Adjacent to the pillar 22, the attachment part 50 is prevented from being detached from the route of the third support pillar 22. Thus, the attachment part 50 is attached to the third support column 22 by the guard part 46 of the first bracket 34, and an effective engagement is formed by the guard part 46.
Thereby, the attachment component 50 does not fall off from the third support pillar 22.

FIGS. 5 and 6 are operation schematic diagrams showing how the first bracket 34 according to the embodiment of the present invention is removed from the third support pillar 22. First, the user applies a force F3 to the intermediate portion 74 of the guard part 46 of the first bracket 34 to overcome the elasticity generated by the elastic part 48.
As a result, the guard part 46 moves at a certain angle relative to the movable connecting part 47.
Preferably, this causes the local part of the first end 84 of the intermediate part 74 of the guard part 46 to enter the first window 60 and release the engagement state of the guard part 46 with respect to the third support column 22. The attachment component 50 of the bracket 34 can be withdrawn from the hole 26 of the third support column 22, and the first bracket 34 can be removed from the third support column 22.

FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.
In the present embodiment, the guard part 200 of the first bracket 34 is provided with only the first part 202 and the intermediate part 204. A side wall 206 is added to the intermediate portion 204, thereby fixing the position of the elastic component 48.

FIG. 8 shows a third embodiment of the present invention.
In the embodiment, both ends of the elastic component 300 are both curved portions 302 and contact the contact connection base 58 of the first bracket 34 and the second end portion 86 of the guard component 46, respectively.

  By combining the descriptions of the above-described embodiments, the operation, use, and effects of the present invention can be fully understood. However, the embodiment described above is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of claims for utility model registration of the present invention. That is, all simple changes and modifications having the same effect based on the scope of the claims of the utility model registration of the present invention and the contents of the description shall fall within the scope of the present invention.
