Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、椅子用の樹脂製脚に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
椅子の合成樹脂製脚は、図8に示すように、ガスシリンダ等の脚柱を支持する筒部21から複数本の枝杆22を放射状に延ばした形態になっており、各枝杆22は全体として下向き開口の樋状に形成されている。
【0003】
そして、各枝杆22の内部には、一端を筒部21に連設した状態で枝杆22の長手方向に延びる直線リブ23と、底面視でX字状に形成されたクロスリブ24とを形成していることが多い。また、隣合った枝杆22は平面視円弧状の股部25を介して一体に連続しており、股部25と筒部21とは股部リブ26で一体に接続されている。
【0004】
そして、従来の脚は、例えば66ナイロンにガラス繊維を混入したガラス強化プラスチックのようないわゆるエンジニアリングプラスチックを素材として製造されている。
【0005】
しかし、エンジニアリングプラスチックは高価であるばかりか、廃棄後の処理も厄介であるという問題がある。そこで、安価で処理性に優れたポリプロピレンを使用し、これにガラス繊維を混入することによって、強度を保持したままコストダウンを図ることが提案されている(例えば特開平7−236537号公報参照)。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本願発明者たちも、ポリプロピレンにガラス繊維を混入した複合素材によって椅子用脚を製造することを研究したが、従来の形態のままでは、強度の面で満足を得ることができなかった。
【0007】
そこで、本願発明者たちが解析・研究したところ、図8(A)に丸で囲ったa部、すなわち、クロスリブ24の付け根箇所での強度が特に弱いことが判明した。そして、更に解析・研究したところ、a部以外の箇所では繊維Fは枝杆22の長手方向に沿って延びているのに、a部では、繊維Fが枝杆22の長手方向と交叉する方向に並んでいることが分かり、このことが、強度低下の原因になっていると推測できるに至った。
【0008】
つまり、図8(A)のB−B方向から見た場合、部以外の箇所では、繊維Fは端面のみが見えて(D)のように多数の点となって現れるの対して、部では(E)のように繊維Fは線となって現れており、このように、繊維Fの並びに連続性がないことが、強度低下の原因と考えられる。
【0009】
また、繊維Fの並びに連続性がないのは、(C)のように、金型17,28の合わせ面に形成されたキャビティに、ゲート29から繊維入り樹脂を注入するに際して、キャビティのうちa部を成形するための部位で樹脂の流れに乱れが生じるためと解される。
【0010】
本願発明は、上記のような研究・知見に基づき成されたもので、ポリプロピレンのような汎用樹脂を使用して高い強度の椅子用脚を得ることを目的とする。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本願発明は、脚柱を支持する筒部から複数本の枝杆が放射状に延びる形態で、かつ、無数の繊維が混入した溶融樹脂を金型のキャビティに注入してから固まらせる射出成形法によって製造される脚であり、前記射出成形に際して溶融樹脂の注入部をキャビティの中央部に設けて溶融樹脂を放射方向に流すことにより、前記各枝杆の内部の繊維群を当該枝杆の長手方向に延びるように配向させている椅子用の樹脂製脚に関するものである。
【0012】
上記目的を達成するため、本願発明では、前記各枝杆は天板と側板とを備えた断面下向き開口の樋状に形成されており、これら各枝杆の内部には、一端を前記筒部に連設し且つ上端を天板に連設した状態で前記枝杆の長手方向に延びる適宜本数の直線リブと、上端を天板に連設した状態で前記直線リブを斜めに横切るように延びる底面視X字状のクロスリブとが一体に設けられている。
【0013】
更に、隣り合った前記枝杆は、前記筒部の外側に位置する平面視円弧状の股部を介して連続しており、前記各股部は、隣合った枝杆の天板と筒部とに連続する天板を備えており、前記股部と前記筒部との間の部位を、当該股部と筒部とに連設するリブが存在しない下向き開口の空所に形成している。
【0014】
【発明の作用・効果】
ところで、樹脂に繊維を混入しているのは、繊維によって樹脂の強度(特に引っ張り強度)を高めるためであり、そのためには、引っ張り強度が作用する方向に繊維が延びていることが必要である。繊維の並びに不連続な部分があると、その不連続部分で強度が低下してしまい、繊維を混入したことの意義が没却されてしまいかねない。
【0015】
この点、本願発明では隣合った枝杆を接続する股部と筒部との間にリブが存在しないので、脚をキャビティにおける中央の樹脂注入部から放射方向に遠ざかるように流し込む射出成形により製造するに当たって、金型のキャビティ内での樹脂の直進性を確保することができる。その結果、枝杆の全体にわたって繊維群の向きが一定となって、強度的に弱い部分が生じることなく、強度を向上できるに至ったと考えられる。
【0016】
これにより、主要樹脂としてポリプロピレンのような汎用樹脂を主材料としても、エンジニアリングプラスチックと遜色のない強度を確保することができる。従って、本願発明によると、強度に優れた椅子用脚を安価に製造することができるのである。
【0017】
【発明の実施形態】
次に、本発明を椅子用脚に適用した実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。
【0018】
≪脚の構造≫
図1は椅子用脚の斜視図、図2は部分平面図、図3は図2の III-III視断面図、図4のうち(A)は部分底面図、(B)〜(G)はそれぞれ(A)をB〜G線の箇所で切断した断面図、図5のうち (A)は図4の V-V視断面図、 (B)は (A)の B-B視断面図、図6は成形工程を示す正断面図、図7は成形工程を示す平面図である。
【0019】
脚は従来と同様に筒部1と5本の枝杆2とを備えている。枝杆2は、天板3と、その左右両端から垂下した外側板4と、その内側に配置した中間側板5と、更にその内側に位置した2本の直線リブ6と、中間側板5で囲われた部位に位置した底面視X型のクロスリブ7とを備えている。直線リブ6の一端は筒部1に連設されている。言うまでもないが、中間側板5と直線リブ6とクロスリブ7とは天板3に連設されている。
【0020】
外側板4から中間側板5、中間側板5から直線リブ6へと、高さが順に高くなるように設定している。直線リブ6は、筒部1に近づくに従って上下高さが高くなるように設定している。
【0021】
また、隣合った枝杆2の天板3と外側板4と中間側板5とは平面視円弧状の連接部4a,5aを介して一体に連続している。また、隣合った枝杆2の天板3と筒部1とは股部8の天板8′を介して一連に連続している。このため、脚の股部8は下向きに開口した空所になっている。股部8にはリブは存在せず、単なる下向き開口の空間となっているに過ぎない。
【0022】
クロスリブ7は直線リブ6を斜めに横切る状態で延びている。また、クロスリブ7は枝杆2の長手方向に並んでおり、隣合ったクロスリブ7の延長線が外側板4の内側面の当たりで交差するように設定している。筒部1寄りに位置したクロスリブ7は、底面視で中間側板5の連接部5aの接線方向に延びるように設定している。クロスリブ7は中間側板5よりもやや低い高さに設定している。
【0023】
各枝杆2の先端には、キャスターを取り付けるための丸穴9が空いており、その周囲には、成形に際してのヒケ防止のため、丸穴9と同じ程度の深さの逃がし穴10を円周方向に沿って適宜間隔で多数形成している。
【0024】
本実施形態の脚は、ポリプロピレンにガラス繊維を混入した複合素材を材料とした射出成形によって製造されている。そして、各枝杆2を図5のB−B線で示す方向から見た場合、どの部分においても、繊維Fは図5(B)に示すように向いている。
【0025】
すなわち、枝杆2のどの部位においても、繊維Fは枝杆2の長手方向を向く姿勢に並んでおり、このため、図5(A)の B-B視においては繊維Fはその端面のみが現れて、散点状の状態に表示される。
【0026】
そして、椅子に人の体重がかかると、脚の各枝杆2には曲げ力が作用し、すると、脚には、図5(A)に矢印bで示すように、その下部は長手方向に引っ張られて上部は長手方向に圧縮されるように外力が作用するが、枝杆2の全ての部位で繊維Fが枝杆2の長手方向に沿って延びているため、枝杆2の引っ張り強度が格段に向上し、その結果、曲げ強度を格段に向上できる。
【0027】
≪成形≫
上記した脚は、図6に大雑把に示すように、密着・離反自在な一対の金型11,12の合わせ面に形成したキャビティに、繊維入りの樹脂を注入することによって製造される。本例の場合、筒部1は底付きの状態に成形し、後から、ドリル加工によって底板に穴を空けるようにしている。
【0028】
樹脂はペレット状のものが素材として使用され、これを加熱・溶融して、スクリューによってゲート13からキャビティに押し出す。その際に、溶融した樹脂にガラス繊維を混入して、ゲート13からキャビティに一緒に押し出す。
【0029】
繊維の混入量は脚全体に対して30〜40重量%が好ましい。また、繊維は長さ9ミリ程度の超繊維のみを使用したり、長さ3mm程度の短繊維のみを使用したり、或いは中間的な長さのもののみを使用したり、更には、長さの異なるものを組み合わせて使用したりするなど、必要に応じて選定できる。
【0030】
樹脂と共に繊維Fをゲート13から押し出すと、繊維Fは樹脂の流れと同じ方向に並んで、樹脂と一緒にキャビティ内に流れていく。
【0031】
そして、ゲート13から流出した樹脂は、筒部成形用キャビティ14を充満しつつ、股部成形用キャビティ15と、直線リブ成形用キャビティ16と、天板成形用キャビティ17と、側板成形用キャビティ18,19とに流れ込み、これら直線リブ成形用キャビティ16、天板成形用キャビティ17、側板成形用キャビティ18,19をその付け根部から先端に向けて流れていく。
【0032】
この場合、股部8がシンプルな形態であるため、樹脂は股部成形用キャビティ15で滞留することはなく、樹脂は、天板成形用キャビティ17と側板成形用キャビティ18,19と直線リブ成形用キャビティ16とをその付け根部から先端部に向けて等しい速度で流れていくと考えられる。
【0033】
また、クロスリブ7が底面視で中間側板5における連設部5aの接線方向に延びているため、股部成形用キャビティ15を通過した樹脂はクロスリブ成形用キャビティ20をスムースに通過していくと考えられる。
【0034】
このように、波紋が中心から放射方向に均等に広がるように、樹脂は筒部成形用キャビティ14から直進性をもって各キャビティ15・・・・の先端に向けて広がっていく。このため、繊維Fは枝杆2の各部位において同じ方向に延びている。
【0035】
他方、図8の従来例の場合、正確な現象は把握できていないが、股部リブ26が存在しているため、股部リブ成形用キャビティからクロスリブ成形用キャビティの箇所に流れる樹脂の流れが遅くなり、天板成形用キャビティに流れ込んだ樹脂がa部を成形するためのキャビティの箇所で逆流する現象を生じて、逆流した樹脂と股部成形用キャビティから流れた樹脂とがa部で衝突し、このため、a部で繊維が図8(E)のように向きになってしまうと考えられる。
【0036】
なお、エンジニアリングプラスチック製の脚の場合も、繊維の向きの不連続性はあったと考えられるが、エンジニアリングプラスチックはもともと強度が大きいため、繊維の向きが連続しないことによる強度低下は顕著な問題として現れていなかったに過ぎないと考えられる。
【0037】
逆に言うと、本願発明をエンジニアリングプラスチック製の脚等に適用すると、従来と同じ肉厚で強度を格段に向上させたり、強度低下を招来することなく薄肉化したりすることもできる。
【0038】
≪その他≫
本発明は、ポリプロピレン以外の汎用樹脂を使用することも可能である。また繊維はガラス繊維のみでなく、カーボン繊維など、他の材質からなる繊維も使用できる。
【0039】
また、本発明は、椅子用脚のみでなく、テーブル類の脚や各種装置のアームなど、様々の樹脂製品に適用できる。特に、椅子用脚のように、断面積に比べて長さが長く、しかも、リブを有する複雑な形状であるほど、本願発明の効果が発揮される。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a resin leg for a chair .
[0002]
[Prior art]
As shown in FIG. 8, the synthetic resin leg of the chair has a shape in which a plurality of branch rods 22 are radially extended from a cylindrical portion 21 that supports a pedestal such as a gas cylinder. As a whole, it is formed in a bowl shape with a downward opening.
[0003]
Each branch rod 22 is formed with a straight rib 23 extending in the longitudinal direction of the branch rod 22 with one end connected to the cylindrical portion 21 and a cross rib 24 formed in an X shape in a bottom view. Often doing. Adjacent branches 22 are integrally connected via a crotch portion 25 having a circular arc shape in plan view, and the crotch portion 25 and the cylindrical portion 21 are integrally connected by a crotch rib 26.
[0004]
And the conventional leg is manufactured from what is called engineering plastics, such as glass reinforced plastic which mixed glass fiber in 66 nylon, for example.
[0005]
However, there is a problem that engineering plastics are not only expensive but also troublesome after disposal. Therefore, it has been proposed to reduce the cost while maintaining the strength by using inexpensive polypropylene having excellent processability and mixing glass fiber therein (see, for example, JP-A-7-236537). .
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The inventors of the present application have also studied the production of chair legs using a composite material in which glass fibers are mixed in polypropylene, but the conventional form has not been satisfactory in terms of strength.
[0007]
As a result, the inventors of the present application analyzed and researched and found that the strength at the portion a surrounded by a circle in FIG. 8A, that is, at the root of the cross rib 24, was particularly weak. Further analysis and research have revealed that the fiber F extends along the longitudinal direction of the branch 22 at a place other than the part a, but the fiber F intersects the longitudinal direction of the branch 22 at the part a. It has been found that this is a cause of a decrease in strength.
[0008]
In other words, when viewed from the direction B-B of FIG. 8 (A), in a portion other than a portion, the fiber F is for the appear as many points as only the end face is seen (D), a In the part, the fiber F appears as a line as shown in (E). Thus, the lack of continuity of the fiber F is considered to be a cause of the strength reduction.
[0009]
Further, there is no continuity of the fibers F when the resin containing fibers is injected from the gate 29 into the cavities formed on the mating surfaces of the molds 17 and 28 as shown in FIG. It is understood that the flow of the resin is disturbed at the part for molding the part.
[0010]
The present invention has been made based on the above research and knowledge, and an object thereof is to obtain a chair leg with high strength using a general-purpose resin such as polypropylene.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention is an injection molding method in which a plurality of branch ridges extend radially from a cylindrical portion supporting a pedestal, and a molten resin mixed with countless fibers is injected into a cavity of a mold and then solidified. In the injection molding, a molten resin injection portion is provided in the central portion of the cavity, and the molten resin is caused to flow in the radial direction, whereby the fiber groups inside each branch are moved in the longitudinal direction of the branch. It is related with the resin-made legs for chairs orientated so that it may extend.
[0012]
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the present invention, each branch rod is formed in the shape of a cross-section opening downward provided with a top plate and a side plate, and one end of the cylindrical portion is provided inside each branch rod. And an appropriate number of linear ribs extending in the longitudinal direction of the branch fence with the upper end connected to the top plate, and extending so as to obliquely cross the linear rib with the upper end connected to the top plate. A cross rib having an X-shape when viewed from the bottom is integrally provided.
[0013]
Further, the adjacent branches are continuous via a crotch portion having an arc shape in plan view located outside the cylindrical portion, and each crotch portion includes a top plate and a cylindrical portion of adjacent branch branches. And a portion between the crotch portion and the tubular portion is formed in a space of a downward opening where there is no rib connected to the crotch portion and the tubular portion. .
[0014]
[Operation and effect of the invention]
By the way, the fiber is mixed in the resin in order to increase the strength (particularly tensile strength) of the resin by the fiber, and for that purpose, the fiber needs to extend in the direction in which the tensile strength acts. . If there are discontinuous portions of fibers, the strength decreases at the discontinuous portions, and the significance of mixing the fibers may be lost.
[0015]
In this respect, in the present invention, there is no rib between the crotch portion and the cylindrical portion connecting the adjacent branches, so that the leg is manufactured by injection molding so as to flow away from the central resin injection portion in the cavity. In doing so, the straightness of the resin in the cavity of the mold can be ensured. As a result, the orientation of the fiber group is constant throughout the entire branch, and it is considered that the strength can be improved without producing a weak portion.
[0016]
As a result, even when a general-purpose resin such as polypropylene is used as a main material, the strength comparable to that of an engineering plastic can be ensured. Therefore, according to the present invention, a chair leg with excellent strength can be manufactured at low cost.
[0017]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a chair leg will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0018]
≪Leg structure≫
1 is a perspective view of a chair leg, FIG. 2 is a partial plan view, FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line III-III in FIG. 2, (A) is a partial bottom view, and (B) to (G) are FIG. each (a) cross-sectional view taken at a point B~G line, (a) is VV sectional view of FIG. 4 of FIG. 5, BB cross-sectional view of (B) is (a), FIG. 6 is molded FIG. 7 is a plan view showing the molding process.
[0019]
The leg includes a cylindrical portion 1 and five branch rods 2 as in the prior art. The branch board 2 is surrounded by a top plate 3, an outer plate 4 hanging from both left and right ends thereof, an intermediate side plate 5 disposed inside the top plate 3, two linear ribs 6 positioned further inside, and an intermediate side plate 5. A bottom-view X-shaped cross rib 7 is provided at the broken portion. One end of the straight rib 6 is connected to the cylindrical portion 1. Needless to say, the intermediate side plate 5, the linear rib 6, and the cross rib 7 are connected to the top plate 3.
[0020]
The height is set so as to increase in order from the outer side plate 4 to the intermediate side plate 5 and from the intermediate side plate 5 to the linear rib 6. The straight rib 6 is set so that the vertical height increases as it approaches the tube portion 1.
[0021]
Further, the top plate 3, the outer plate 4 and the intermediate plate 5 of the adjacent branches 2 are integrally continuous via connecting portions 4a and 5a having a circular arc shape in plan view. Further, the top plate 3 of the adjacent branch 2 and the tube portion 1 are continuously connected via the top plate 8 ′ of the crotch portion 8 . For this reason, the leg crotch portion 8 is a space opened downward. The crotch portion 8 does not have ribs, and is merely a space with a downward opening.
[0022]
The cross rib 7 extends so as to cross the straight rib 6 diagonally. Further, the cross ribs 7 are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the branch ridge 2, and the extension lines of the adjacent cross ribs 7 are set so as to intersect each other at the inner surface of the outer plate 4. The cross rib 7 located closer to the tube portion 1 is set so as to extend in the tangential direction of the connecting portion 5a of the intermediate side plate 5 in a bottom view. The cross rib 7 is set at a slightly lower height than the intermediate side plate 5.
[0023]
A round hole 9 for attaching a caster is formed at the end of each branch 2, and an escape hole 10 having a depth similar to that of the round hole 9 is formed around the circle hole 9 to prevent sink marks during molding. A large number are formed at appropriate intervals along the circumferential direction.
[0024]
The legs of this embodiment are manufactured by injection molding using a composite material in which glass fibers are mixed in polypropylene. And when each branch rod 2 is seen from the direction shown by the BB line of FIG. 5, the fiber F has faced as shown in FIG.5 (B) in any part.
[0025]
In other words, the fibers F are arranged in a posture facing the longitudinal direction of the branch rod 2 at any part of the branch rod 2, and therefore, only the end face of the fiber F appears in the BB view of FIG. , Displayed in a dotted state.
[0026]
When a person's weight is applied to the chair, a bending force acts on each leg branch 2, and the lower portion of the leg extends in the longitudinal direction as shown by an arrow b in FIG. Although an external force acts so that the upper part is compressed in the longitudinal direction by being pulled, the fiber F extends along the longitudinal direction of the branch 2 in all parts of the branch 2 so that the tensile strength of the branch 2 is increased. As a result, the bending strength can be remarkably improved.
[0027]
≪Molding≫
The above-described legs are manufactured by injecting resin containing fibers into cavities formed on the mating surfaces of a pair of molds 11 and 12 that can be closely contacted and separated as shown roughly in FIG. In the case of this example, the cylindrical part 1 is formed in a bottomed state, and a hole is made in the bottom plate by drilling later.
[0028]
The resin is used in the form of pellets, heated and melted, and extruded from the gate 13 into the cavity by a screw. At that time, glass fiber is mixed into the molten resin and extruded from the gate 13 into the cavity.
[0029]
The mixing amount of fibers is preferably 30 to 40% by weight with respect to the entire leg. Also, the fibers can be only ultra-fibers with a length of about 9 mm, only short fibers with a length of about 3 mm, or only intermediate lengths. It can be selected as necessary, such as using a combination of different types.
[0030]
When the fiber F is pushed out from the gate 13 together with the resin, the fiber F is aligned in the same direction as the flow of the resin and flows into the cavity together with the resin.
[0031]
The resin flowing out from the gate 13 fills the cylinder forming cavity 14, while crotch forming cavity 15, linear rib forming cavity 16, top plate forming cavity 17, and side plate forming cavity 18. , 19, and the linear rib forming cavity 16, the top plate forming cavity 17, and the side plate forming cavities 18, 19 flow from the base to the tip.
[0032]
In this case, since the crotch portion 8 has a simple form, the resin does not stay in the crotch forming cavity 15, and the resin is formed from the top plate forming cavity 17, the side plate forming cavities 18 and 19, and the straight rib forming. It is considered that the cavities 16 flow at the same speed from the base part toward the tip part.
[0033]
Further, since the cross rib 7 extends in the tangential direction of the connecting portion 5a in the intermediate side plate 5 in a bottom view, the resin that has passed through the crotch forming cavity 15 is thought to pass smoothly through the cross rib forming cavity 20. It is done.
[0034]
In this way, the resin spreads straight from the cylinder forming cavity 14 toward the tip of each cavity 15... So that the ripples spread evenly in the radial direction from the center. For this reason, the fiber F is extended in the same direction in each part of the branch 2.
[0035]
On the other hand, in the case of the conventional example of FIG. 8, the exact phenomenon cannot be grasped, but since the crotch ribs 26 are present, the flow of the resin flowing from the crotch rib forming cavities to the cross rib forming cavities is reduced. The resin that flowed into the top plate forming cavity slows down and flows back at the cavity for forming part a, and the resin flowing back and the resin flowing from the crotch forming cavity collide with part a. For this reason, it is considered that the fibers are oriented as shown in FIG.
[0036]
In the case of legs made of engineering plastics, it is thought that there was discontinuity in the fiber orientation, but the strength of engineering plastics was originally high. It is thought that it was only not.
[0037]
Conversely, when the present invention is applied to a engineering plastic feet or the like, or to significantly improve the same thickness in strength to conventional, may be subjected to a thinning without causing reduction in strength.
[0038]
≪Others≫
In the present invention, a general-purpose resin other than polypropylene can be used. The fiber not only glass fiber and carbon fiber, fiber can be used made of other materials.
[0039]
The present invention can be applied not only to chair legs but also to various resin products such as table legs and various device arms. In particular, the effect of the present invention is exhibited as the length is longer than the cross-sectional area as in a chair leg, and the more complicated the shape is with ribs.
