In FIG. 15, reference numeral 1 is a pillar, reference numeral 2 is a shelf plate attached to the pillar 1, and reference numeral 3 is a tubular body fixed to a corner of the shelf board 2. The shelf 2 has a pillar 1 and a cylindrical body 3
17 and FIG.
The cylindrical body 3 is attached to the support 1 by supporting the cylindrical body 3 on the support 1 via a sleeve 4 as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 16, the shelf board 2 is formed by connecting a pair of upper and lower frames 5 and 6 having a rectangular shape as a whole with a substantially corrugated reinforcing wire 7 so as to be separated from each other in the vertical direction. The tubular body 3 is fixed to the corners of the frames 5 and 6. Wires 8 and 9 are further laid across the upper frame 5 so as to be orthogonal to each other, and the wires 8 and 9 enable the articles to be placed on the shelf board 2. Also,
The pillar 1 has a columnar shape, and a plurality of grooves 10 that surround the pillar 1 are formed on the surface of the pillar 1 at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction of the pillar 1.

As shown in an exploded view in FIG. 17, the sleeve 4 is composed of resin sleeve halves 4A and 4B having a semi-cylindrical shape. These sleeve halves 4A, 4B
Is divided into two before being attached to the column 1, and is assembled into a cylindrical shape by sandwiching the column 1 from both sides when attaching to the column 1. Further, the opposite side end portions of the sleeve halves 4A and 4B are engaged with each other when the sleeve halves 4A and 4B are assembled, so that they are engaged with each other to regulate the displacement between the sleeve halves 4A and 4B. The protrusion 4a and the engaging recess 4b are formed respectively.

Further, on the inner surfaces of the sleeve halves 4A and 4B, there are formed ridges 4c which engage with the grooves 10 of the support column 1. In addition, as shown in FIG. 18, the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 4 is formed in a conical shape whose diameter increases from one end to the other end. That is, in FIG. 18, the outer diameter of the column 1 is d
0, the outer diameter of one end of the sleeve 4 is d1, the outer diameter of the other end is d2
Then, (d0 <d1 <d2).

The cylindrical body 3 has a cylindrical shape having a through hole 3A in the center thereof, and the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 3A corresponds to the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 4 as shown in FIG. 5
From the side) to the other end (on the side of the frame 6) in a tapered shape. That is, the inner diameter of one end of the through hole 3A is d1, and the inner diameter of the other end is d2.

In assembling the shelf, first, at the position where the shelf board 2 is to be attached, the column 1 is sandwiched between the sleeve halves 4A and 4B from both sides, and as shown in FIG. Engage. As a result, the sleeve 4 is annularly mounted on the pillar 1, and the movement of the sleeve 4 along the longitudinal direction of the pillar 1 is prevented by the engagement between the groove 10 and the protrusion 4c.

Then, the support 1 is inserted into the through hole 3A so that one end of the sleeve 4 and the other end of the tubular body 3 face each other, and then the support 1 is oriented so that one end of the sleeve 4 faces upward. 18 upright, and as shown by an arrow S in FIG.
And the shelf 2 is moved downward. Here, since the inner diameter of the other end of the through hole 3A is d2 and the outer diameter of one end of the sleeve 4 is d1, when the tubular body 3 is moved downward, the through hole 3A is inserted into the sleeve 4 on the other end side. It is wrapped around from. Moreover, the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 4 has a conical shape whose diameter increases toward the other end,
In addition, since the inner peripheral surface of the tubular body 3 corresponds to the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 4, the inner peripheral surface of the tubular body 3 and the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 4 are in close contact with each other and overlap each other. Further downward movement is prevented.

Further, in this state, the sleeve 4 is pressed inward from the cylindrical body 3 side, so that the engagement between the groove 10 and the protrusion 4c is further strengthened. As a result, the tubular body 3 is supported at a desired position on the column 1 via the sleeve 4.

By performing this work at the same time with the tubular body 3 fixed to the corner of the shelf 2, the lowest shelf 2 is attached to the column 1. Further, the same work is repeated, and the shelf board 2 is sequentially attached to the support columns 1 from the lower side, whereby a shelf as shown in FIG. 15 is completed.

[0011]

By the way, in this kind of shelf, the shelf plate 2 is attached to and detached from the column 1 for the purpose of changing the position of the shelf plate 2 and adding or removing the shelf plate 2 after assembly. There are cases. However, since the shelf board 2 is supported by the pillar 1 by inserting the tubular body 3 fixed at the corner thereof into the pillar 1, the shelf board 2 is located above the attaching / detaching position of the shelf board 2.
When it is attached, it is necessary to remove all the shelf boards 2 and the sleeves 4 above that position from the column 1. As a result, there is a problem that the attachment and detachment work becomes complicated and the work takes time. It was

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily and quickly attach / detach a shelf plate to / from a support column to which a shelf plate or the like is attached.

[0017]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Members having the same structure as the conventional assembling type shelves shown in FIGS. The same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 15 to 18 are given and the description thereof is omitted.

The shelf of the present invention comprises the above-mentioned support 1 and sleeve 4.
And a collar 11 detachably supported by the sleeve 4,
Through the holder 12, which is detachably supported by the collar 11, and the sleeve 4, the collar 11, and the holder 12,
It is roughly configured by a shelf plate 13 which is detachably supported by the column 1.

An example of the structure of the collar 11 is shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 are an upper perspective view, a top view, a side view, and a sectional view of the collar 11, respectively. Color 11
Is a metal such as aluminum or polycarbonate or A
A member having a rectangular parallelepiped outer shape integrally formed of a resin such as BS, and having a fitting hole 11A penetrating the collar 11 along its four parallel sides at the center. As shown in FIG. 4, the inner peripheral surface of the fitting hole 11A is formed in a tapered shape corresponding to the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 4 and has a diameter that increases from one end (the upper end in FIG. 4) toward the other end. The inner diameter of one end of the fitting hole 11A is d1, and the inner diameter of the other end is d2.

Further, the collar 11 is formed with a slit-shaped opening 11B which is formed by cutting out the side surface of the fitting hole 11A toward one of the ridge lines along the four sides of the collar 11. Here, the width W of the opening 11B is set to be larger than the outer diameter of the column 1 and smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the sleeve 4. On the other hand, the fitting hole 11 of the collar 11
The ridge line portion located on the opposite side of the opening 11B formation side with A in between is a semicircular shape when viewed from the end, as indicated by reference numeral 11C, for the purpose of suppressing unnecessary protrusion to the outside when the shelf is assembled. It is considered to be a chamfer.

Further, among the side surfaces of the collar 11, the opening 1
The side surfaces positioned so as to sandwich 1B recede inward except for the other end portions, and as a result, the other end portion of these side surfaces has a stepped portion (projection portion) 11D protruding outward from the receded side surface.
Are formed along the other edge of the collar 11, respectively. In addition, these step portions 11D go around the chamfered portion 11C side beyond the ridge line portion connected to the side face, and as a result, on the chamfered portion 11C side of these ridge line portions, these ridge line portions are recessed inward. 11E are formed respectively.

An example of the structure of the holder 12 and the shelf plate 13 is shown in FIG.
And shown in FIG. The holder 12 is a metal plate and has a stepped portion 11D.
Is bent in an L-shape according to the end face shape of each of the convex portions 12A, and convex portions 12A formed by bending in opposite directions (inward) according to the end face shape of the concave portion 11E are formed at both ends thereof. . The width h2 from one end (upper end in FIG. 5) of the holder 12 to the other end is equal to the width of one end of the collar 11 from the step portion 11D.
The width (h1 in FIG. 3) up to one end surface of the holder 12, and the thickness and side shape of the metal plate forming the holder 12 are as follows when the holder 12 is supported by the collar 11.
The side surface of the stepped portion 11D and the side surface of the holder 12 are set to be flush with each other.

In the holder 12, instead of the tubular body 3, a space 12B sandwiched by the convex portions 12A is directed to the outside at a corner of a shelf 13 having the same structure as the conventional shelf 2. In addition, the protrusions 12A are fixed so that the extending direction thereof is orthogonal to the plate surface of the shelf plate 13.

Next, the assembling of the shelf having the above structure will be described with reference to FIGS. When assembling the shelf, first, as in the case of assembling the conventional shelf, at the position where the shelf plate 13 is to be attached, the sleeve half 4 is attached.
After the strut 1 is sandwiched from both sides by A and 4B, the ridge portion 4c is engaged with the groove 10 and the sleeve 4 is mounted on the strut 1,
The column 1 is erected so that one end side of the sleeve 4 faces upward. This state is shown in FIG.

Next, above the mounting position of the sleeve 4, the collar 11 is supported from the outside (the left side in the figure) with the one end of the collar 11 directed upward and the opening 11B directed toward the support 1 side. The fitting hole 11A is attached to the support 1 from the side through the opening 11B. In this case, since the width W of the opening 11B and the minimum diameter d1 of the fitting hole 11A are both larger than the outer diameter d0 of the supporting column 11, the passage of the opening 11B to the supporting column 11 and the mounting of the fitting hole 11A are both performed. It's easy.

After the fitting hole 11A is attached to the support column 1, the collar 11 is moved downward along the support column 1. As a result, similar to the conventional tubular body 13 described above, at the position where the inner peripheral surface of the fitting hole 11A and the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 4 are in close contact with each other and overlap,
Further downward movement of the collar 11 is prevented, and the collar 1
1 is supported by the sleeve 4. This state is shown in FIG.
In this case, since the width W of the opening 11B is smaller than the maximum outer diameter d2 of the sleeve 4, the sleeve 4 does not come off from the opening 11B.

When the collar 11 is supported by the sleeve 4,
Above the mounting position of the sleeve 4, the shelf plate 13 to which the holder 12 is fixed, the space 12B with the space 12B formed between the convex portions 12A of the holder 12 facing the support column 1 side.
Until it overlaps with the column 1, the inner side (the right side in the figure) is brought closer to the column 1. Further, when the space 12B overlaps the support column 1, the convex portions 12A formed at both ends of the holder 12 are engaged with the concave portions 11E of the collar 11, respectively, and the lower end of the holder 12 contacts the one end surface of the stepped portion 11D. The shelf 13 is moved downward along the support 1 until it comes into contact. This state is shown in FIGS. 9 to 11.

In the state shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the lateral movement of the holder 12 is prevented by the engagement between the convex portion 12A and the concave portion 11E and the contact between the opposite side surfaces of the collar 11 and the holder 12. Moreover, the downward movement of the holder 12 is prevented by the contact between the lower end of the holder 12 and the one end surface of the step portion 11D. That is, in this shelf, when the holder 12 is placed on the stepped portion 11D, the collar 11
It is firmly and detachably supported.

Then, the above-mentioned work is carried out on each of the columns 1 standingly provided at the corners of the shelf plate 13 sequentially or substantially at the same time as required, so that the shelf plate 13 is attached to the column 1. Further, the same work is repeated and the shelf plate 13 is attached to a desired position of the support column 1 to complete the shelf according to the present embodiment. Further, when removing the shelf plate 13, the reverse operation may be performed.

In the case of the shelf of the present embodiment, the shelf board 1 on the column 1
Since the members (sleeve 4, collar 11 and holder 12) required for attaching 3 are all removable from the side of the support column 1, it is possible to attach the other shelf plate 13 or the like to the support column 1 above. However, the shelf plate 13 can be attached and detached without removing the upper shelf plate 13 and the like. Therefore, according to the shelf of the present embodiment, it is possible to easily and quickly attach and detach the shelf plate 13 to and from the pillar 11 to which another shelf plate 13 or the like is attached above. Workability in addition, removal, or replacement is improved.

Further, since the parts (post 1, sleeve 4, etc.) constituting the conventional shelves shown in FIGS. 15 to 18 can be used, the kind and the number of parts to be newly created for carrying out the present invention. Is less. Further, by only purchasing the collar 11 and the shelf plate 13, even if the shelf plate 2 is provided with the tubular body 3A, it is possible to add the shelf plate 13 or disassemble the shelf plate without disassembling the shelf. It is possible to mix and use the plates 2 and 13.

Moreover, since the holder 12 is supported by the collar 11 while holding the collar 11 from the left and right with the opening 11B sandwiched therebetween, the opening 1 is supported by the load on the shelf plate 13.
Even if the collar 11 is deformed to open 1B outward,
This deformation is prevented by the holder 12. Therefore, the shelf plate 13 does not fall off the pillar 1 due to the deformation of the collar 11. Further, as the collar 11 outwardly deforms due to the load, the side surface of the collar 11 strongly presses the side surface of the opposing holder 12 from the inner side. The engagement between 11 and the holder 12 is strengthened.

In addition, in the case of the shelf of this embodiment, the holder 1
2 is fixed to the shelf plate 13 and is firmly supported by the support column 1 via the collar 11 and the sleeve 4. Therefore, the strength of the shelf plate 13 itself is high, the same high load resistance as the conventional shelf plate 2 having the tubular body 3 can be obtained, and the lateral movement or deformation of the support column 1 due to the load is prevented. , Shelf 1
3 and the holder 12 fixed to the shelf plate 13, the effect of improving the strength of the entire shelf by attaching the shelf plate 13 is obtained.

Further, since the holder 12 can be engaged with the collar 11 from either one end or the other end, the holder 1
By selecting whether to engage 2 with the collar 11 from one end or the other end (whether the one end or the other end faces downward), the front and back of the shelf plate 13 are selectively moved upward or downward. Can be used for. For example, in the example shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the frame indicated by reference numeral 5 is located above, but by replacing the top and bottom of the shelf plate 13 and engaging the holder 12 with the collar 11,
The frame indicated by reference numeral 6 can be located above.

Further, as described above, the width h2 from one end of the holder 12 to the other end is determined from the one end of the collar 11 to the step portion 11D.
The width h1 up to one end surface of the holder 12, and the thickness and side surface shape of the metal plate forming the holder 12, when the holder 12 is supported by the collar 11, the side surface of the stepped portion 11D and the side surface of the holder 12 are Are set to be on the same plane. As a result, when the holder 11 is supported by the collar 11, an unnecessary gap, a step, or the like is not formed between the collar 11 and the holder 12, and a shelf excellent in terms of aesthetics can be obtained.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12, for example, the holder 12 is separated from the shelf board, and the hooks (supporting means) 12C provided on the ridges thereof are provided with the frames 5 and 6 as shown in FIG. 13A, for example. A shelf plate having a bent corner C may be detachably engaged. In this case, after the holder 12 is locked to the collar 11, it projects inward of the shelf,
By engaging the corner portion C of the shelf plate 13A from above with the hook 12C that bends upward, the shelf plate 13A is detachably supported by the holder 12.

Alternatively, for example, a structure may be used in which a supporting body (supporting means) 14 for supporting the shelf plate 13A as shown in FIG. 13 is prepared, and the holder 12 is fixed to both ends of the supporting body 14. The support body 14 is an elongated member that is roughly configured by a side plate 14A and a bottom plate 14B and has an L-shape when viewed from the end. The holder 12 is a bottom plate 14B at both ends of the side plate 14A.
On the surface opposite to the side, the extending direction of the protrusion 12A is the support 1
4 are each fixed so as to be orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. The upper stopper 14 is provided at the center of the side plate 14A.
C projects from the side end surface of the side plate 14A so as to face the bottom plate 14B, and the end stoppers 14 are provided from both ends of the bottom plate 14B.
D projects to the upper stopper 14C side so as to face each other.

At the time of attaching the shelf plate 13A, the holders 12 fixed to both ends are engaged with the collars 11 supported by the support columns 1 through the sleeves 4, respectively, so that they are erected at the corners of the shelf. between four posts, a pair of supports 14, faces downward bottom plate 14 B, and so as to protrude inwardly of the shelf, is supported horizontally and parallel. By mounting the frame 6 of the shelf plate 13A on the bottom plates 14B of the pair of support bodies 14, the shelf board 13A is detachably supported between the pair of support bodies 14.

Here, when the shelves 13A are mounted between the supports 14, the shelves 13A are attached to one end stopper 14D side as shown by reference numeral A in FIG. 14, for example.
The support plate 14 is obliquely inserted from above through the gap formed between the upper stopper 14C and the end stopper 14D, and the shelf plate 13A is pushed between the support members 14 along the bottom plate 14B. As a result, the shelf plate 13A is placed horizontally on the bottom plate 14B, as indicated by the symbol B in FIG. Further, movement of the shelf plate 13A placed on the bottom plate 14B in the longitudinal direction of the support 14 is blocked by the end stopper 14D, and movement of the shelf plate 13A in the vertical direction is prevented by the bottom plate 14.
It is blocked by B and the upper stopper 14C. On the other hand, when removing the shelf 13A, the above operation may be performed in reverse.

In these examples, the holder 12 is the shelf board 13A.
Since it is not fixed to the shelf plate 13A, the holder 12 and the shelf plate 13A do not contribute to the strength of the entire shelf, and the load resistance of the shelf plate 13A is slightly lower than that of the shelf plate indicated by reference numeral 13. In addition, in these examples, since the supporting column 1 cannot be supported by the shelf plate 13A, the supporting column 1 is preliminarily set up by a shelf plate capable of supporting the supporting column 1, as indicated by reference numeral 2 or 13, for example. There is a need. Other operational effects and the like are the same as when the shelf plate indicated by reference numeral 13 is used.

The concrete shapes and the like of each member constituting the shelf according to the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present invention. Needless to say.

[0042]

As described above, in the shelf of the present invention, since all the members required for attaching the shelf plate to the support pillar can be attached and detached from the side of the support pillar, other shelf boards or the like can be placed above. It is possible to attach / detach the shelf plate without removing the upper shelf plate or the like to / from the column to which is attached. Therefore, according to the shelf of the present invention, it is possible to easily and quickly attach / detach the shelf plate to / from a pillar having another shelf plate or the like attached thereto.
