Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention also relates to the assembly kennel.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As shown in FIG. 6, a stainless steel kennel a for storing pets such as dogs and cats is conventionally used in animal hospitals and the like. The kennel a is configured such that a front door is opened and a see-through door c made of a stainless steel round bar is hinged on one side of the opening b through a hinge.
[0003]
By the way, in animal hospitals, etc., the required number of the kennels a ... are installed by loading them vertically and horizontally according to the space of the room.
[0004]
However, since there is a risk of collapsing simply by loading a large number of kennels a ..., a lock mechanism d that couples the kennels together is used.
[0005]
Conventionally, as the lock mechanism d are shown in FIG. 6, the provided binding plate e to cover between corners a ₁ · · · of the kennel a · · · front of a plurality of the binding plate e It is a structure that is fixed and locked to each kennel a... With screws f.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional locking mechanism d, it is troublesome to attach and remove the screws f, which takes too much time and time, and the coupling plate e ... and a large number of screws f ... are exposed in the front of the kennel. Therefore, there are design problems such as poor appearance.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art described above, and by providing a lock fitting that engages with the top plate and the bottom plate of the kennel, it is possible to move up and down by a simple operation with one touch. The purpose is to provide an assembled kennel that can handle and take off the kennel, has a good appearance in front of the kennel, and is excellent in design.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
To achieve the above object, the assembly kennel in accordance with the present invention, in claim 1, at least two lower slide rail in the longitudinal direction of the top plate the upper surface of the kennel body, two similarly to the bottom plate lower surface sliding the upper slide rail, provided in parallel at predetermined intervals so that they face each other in the vertical kennel-out loading all, the opposing surfaces of the upper and lower slide rails of the upper and lower kennel-out loading all the longitudinal direction of the A pair of locking metal fittings that can be locked to each other while being attached to the upper and lower slide rails.
[0009]
Further, in claim 2, the lock fitting of the upper-stage slide rail side, is formed on the front substantially inverted L-shape by a perpendicular plate portion horizontal locking plug plate portion, whereas, the lower slide rail side locking The metal fitting is formed in a substantially reverse L-shape from the front by a horizontal locking receiving plate portion and a vertical substrate portion.
[0010]
[Action]
The rear end of the upper slide rail provided on the lower surface of the bottom plate is placed on the front side of the lower slide rail provided on the upper surface of the top plate of the lower kennel main body while the upper kennel main body is inclined backward.
[0011]
In this state, when the upper part of the kennel body is gradually lowered while pushing the upper kennel body backwards, the upper slide rail slides on the lower slide rail and moves straight to the rear. When moved, the lock fitting attached to the rear of the upper slide rail and the lock fitting attached to the rear of the lower slide rail are locked together.
[0012]
The upper slide rail lock bracket is formed by a horizontal latching insertion plate portion and a vertical substrate portion, and the lower slide rail lock bracket is formed by a horizontal latch receiving plate portion and a vertical substrate portion. Therefore, the locking insertion plate portion of the upper slide rail is inserted below the locking receiving plate portion of the lower slide rail, and the both plate portions are locked and held with elasticity.
[0013]
Next, the front of the upper kennel is lowered to the upper surface of the lower kennel, and the locking plate hanging from the lower end of the flange of the upper kennel is locked to the flange upper end rear edge of the lower kennel.
Thus, the upper kennel is fixed and held with respect to the lower kennel without sliding forward and left and right.
[0014]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state before assembling two upper and lower kennels equipped with a lock mechanism according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view of the main part of the same, and FIG. FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a locked state of the locking mechanism, and FIG. 5 is a view before connecting and fixing the kennels on the left and right sides with connecting metal fittings. It is a perspective view which shows the state of.
[0015]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the kennel A is made of stainless steel and includes a box-shaped kennel main body 1 having a front laterally long rectangular shape, and an opening 2 is formed in the front of the kennel main body 1. At the same time, a see-through door 3 made of a stainless steel bar is hinged to the opening 2 through a hinge 4 so as to be able to open in one side.
In the figure, reference numeral 5 denotes a flange provided outside the opening 2.
[0016]
The lock mechanism B for fixing the kennels A and A loaded vertically is configured as follows.
The top plate 1a two of the lower slide rail 6,6 in the longitudinal direction of the upper surface of the kennel body 1, similarly two to the underside bottom plate 1b of the upper slide rail 7 and 7,-out loading all kennels A, the A The guide plates 6a, 6a are vertically projected upward from the lower slide rails 6, 6 so as to be opposed to each other at a predetermined interval.
The slide rails 6, 6, 7, and 7 are all made of stainless steel having a square cylindrical section.
[0017]
Then, on the rear side of the slide rail 6,6,7,7, loading all-out kennel A, A together lockable while sliding the facing surfaces in the longitudinal direction of the slide rail 6, 6 and 7 and 7 A pair of stainless steel lock fittings 8, 8, 9, 9 having excellent elasticity is provided.
[0018]
The lower slide rails 6, 6 side lock fittings 8, 8 are formed in a substantially reverse L-shape in front by horizontal locking receiving plate portions 8 a, 8 a and vertical substrate portions 8 b, 8 b. The outer sides of 8b and 8b are fixed to the rear inner facing surfaces of the lower slide rails 6 and 6, respectively, and horizontal locking receiving portions 8a and 8a are protruded to face the inner sides of the slide rails 6 and 6, respectively.
[0019]
