In the present embodiment, the front panel 4 is the panel surface facing the high temperature section 17 side of the heater 2 (see FIG. 2).

A stove guard 1 according to the present embodiment is a guard that encloses a heating appliance 2 such as an oil stove, oil fan heater, ceramic heater, or electric heater. The stove guard 1 has a fence part 3 made of wire. By providing the fence part 3 around the heating appliance 2, it is possible to mainly prevent the occurrence of inconvenience such as contact with the high temperature part 17 of the heating appliance 2 such as the heating part of the stove or blowing out of the fan heater.

In the configuration shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the fence portion 3 is configured by assembling four face panels, a front panel 4, a right panel 5, a left panel 6, and a rear panel 7, and the stove guard 1 as a whole has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. is configured to Each face panel is formed in a fence shape by combining vertical wires 12 extending in the vertical direction and horizontal wires 13 extending in the horizontal direction. The stove guard 1 is not provided with a top panel, and the storage space 8 for the heater 2 is open above.

A lower rod 11 is provided at the lower position of each face panel to which the fixture 30 of the stove guard 1 can be locked. FIGS. 1 and 2 show an example in which the lower rod 11 is constructed from the lower end horizontal wire of each face panel. However, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a supporting rod other than the lower end horizontal wire rod of each face panel is provided separately.
At both ends of the lower rods 11 of the right panel 5 and the left panel 6 in the front-rear direction, legs 14 are provided by extending the vertical wires 12 at both ends downward and folding them back at a predetermined height. . Handles 15 of the stove guard 1 are provided on the upper rods 10 of the right panel 5 and the left panel 6, respectively.

As shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), the fixture 30 is composed of a fixture 31 formed by bending a rod-like or flat plate-like wire part several times.
The fixture 30 has a fixing body portion 36 that can extend linearly with respect to the plane of the floor surface. Used to fix.

A front connection portion 39 having the locking portion 32 at the front end is formed on the front side of the fixed main body portion 36, and a rear connection portion 39 having the locking portion 32 at the rear end is formed on the rear side of the fixed main body portion 36. A portion 40 is formed. The front connecting portion 39 has a front hanging portion 33 extending downward and a distance setting portion 34 . The front hanging portion 33 is formed of a wire extending downward from the locking portion 32 . Between the rear end of the distance setting portion 34 and the front end of the fixing body portion 36, a rising portion 35 connecting the distance setting portion 34 and the fixing body portion 36 is provided. The distance setting portion 34 is a portion that defines the length from the locking portion 32 to the rising portion 35 .

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the raised portion 35 is formed to have a substantially vertical wall surface so as to reliably receive the front surface of the heater 2 . The distance K from the front panel 4 to the rising portion 35 is defined by the length of the distance setting portion 34 when the pair of fixtures 30 are attached in a crossed state. For example, it is possible to set the distance K to the front panel 4 in the storage space 8 to be long and the distance to the rear panel 7, which does not need to be concerned about the temperature, to be short. Specifically, the distance K is set to a predetermined distance that is less affected by the high temperature portion 17 and that satisfies the guard function.
The locking portion 32 has a shape such as a hook, and is configured to be detachably locked to the lower rod 11 .

Generally, a pair of fixtures 30 are spanned between opposing portions of the fence 3 . In this embodiment, since the stove guard 1 is configured in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, it is bridged between the lower rods 11 of the front panel 4 and the rear panel 7 . The overall longitudinal length of the fixture 30 shown in FIG. 3 is longer than that of the fixture 52 shown in FIG. 4 due to the crossing. Specifically, the length is preferably set to be equal to or smaller than the length of the diagonal of the square formed by each face panel shown in FIG. be.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, cross relief portions 38 are provided in the portions of the two crossing fixing body portions 36, one of which is higher than the other. FIG. 3(a) shows a configuration having a straight fixing body portion 36, and FIG. 3(b) shows a configuration having a cross relief portion 38. FIG. The intersecting relief portion 38 is formed by, for example, a portion bent in a trapezoidal shape when viewed from the front so as to avoid the thickness of the straight portion of the fixed main body portion 36 . By providing such a cross relief portion 38, the area other than the cross relief portion 38 of the fixed main body portion 36 positioned above the cross portion can contact the floor surface without being lifted from the floor surface. The stability of the stove guard 1 due to the weight of the appliance 2 can be improved.

Next, the arrangement of the pair of fixtures 30 within the stove guard 1 in this embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, the distance X between the engaging portions 32, 32 engaged with the lower rod 11 of the front panel 4 on the side closer to the high-temperature portion 17 of the heater 2 is equal to the distance X between the lower rod 11 of the rear panel 7. is set larger than the distance Y between the locking portions 32, 32 that are locked together. Both the distance X and the distance Y are set to be smaller than the width of the front panel 4 and the rear panel 7 . In this bridging structure, the engaging portions 32, 32 engaged with the lower rod 11 are engaged at positions inside the left and right corners of the front panel 4 and the rear panel 7, respectively.

With the configuration as described above, the cross point position (the position overlapping the intersection relief portion 38) is positioned rather than the center position C indicated by the intersection point of the diagonal lines (not shown) of the square that constitutes the stove guard 1 in plan view in FIG. ) will shift backwards. The area of the triangle formed by the two locking portions 32, 32 of the front panel 4 and the cross point position is the area of the triangle formed by the two locking portions 32, 32 of the rear panel 7 and the cross point position. be larger than

With this configuration, when the distance K is set large in order to prevent the occurrence of burns, etc., the cross point position of the fixed body portion 36 can be arranged closer to the rear panel 7 side than the center position C. . With this configuration, the lengths of the pair of fixed body portions 36 on which the weight of the heating appliance 2 is applied can be set so that there is as little difference as possible between the front and rear positions of the cross point position. The stability of the state in which the heater 2 is placed on the fixed main body portion 36 of 30 is improved.

Further, even if the required distance K between the front panel 4 and the high temperature portion 17, which is determined by the positions of the rising portions 35, 35, is secured, the distance Z between the two lateral rising portions 35, 35 can be increased. Therefore, the position where the lower front surface of the heating appliance 2 is received by the rising portions 35, 35 can be increased in the lateral direction of the heating appliance 2, so that the position of the heating appliance 2 in the stove guard 1 can be easily stabilized.

Since the pair of intersecting fixtures 30 has a triangular shape like a trust structure, deformation of the front panel 4 in the front-rear direction can be suppressed. In addition, even when force is applied in the lateral direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction, the lower rods 11 of the front panel 4 and the rear panel 7 are supported by the crossed fixtures 30 so that they are difficult to move. It acts in the direction of suppressing the deformation against the external force of .
