Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a stable leg for a partition panel that can be attached to the partition panel after level adjustment and can realize sufficient fall prevention strength.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Stabilization legs may be attached to the partition panel that partitions the room arbitrarily.
[0003]
That is, the partition panel is level-adjusted via a level-adjusting adjustment bolt attached to the lower end of the column member, and then a stable leg protruding in the thickness direction is attached to prevent the partition panel from falling. The stabilizing leg is usually screwed to the column member through a long hole, for example, and is usually adapted to the height variation of the column member due to level adjustment.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In such a conventional technique, the stabilizing leg is screwed to the column member of the partition panel through the long hole, and thus the problem that the partition panel has a tendency to be insufficient in the fall prevention strength is unavoidable.
[0005]
Therefore, in view of the problems of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to easily attach the partition panel after level adjustment to a sufficient fall prevention strength by using a lock fitting having a pair of upper and lower hook members. It is an object of the present invention to provide a stabilizing leg for a partition panel that can be used.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the configuration of the present invention comprises a support bracket having a vertical guide slit on the front surface and a lock fitting for connecting a pair of upper and lower hook members via a connection screw. The hooks to be formed project vertically symmetrically to the front surface of the support bracket via the guide slit, and the hook members are moved relative to each other in the reverse direction up and down via the connecting screws, thereby being respectively formed in the engagement slits of the column members of the partition panel. The gist is to engage and drive the support bracket to the column member side and lock the hook member and the support bracket so that they cannot be moved relative to each other.
[0007]
Each hook can drive the support bracket to the column member side via the slope.
[0008]
Moreover, each hook member can be formed in the same shape.
[0009]
Furthermore, each hook member may be formed with a locking wedge that is press-fitted into the guide slit, and the guide slit may be divided vertically.
[0010]
The support bracket may be provided with an auxiliary base or a protective cover may be attached.
[0011]
[Action]
According to the configuration of the invention, the lock fitting is configured by connecting a pair of upper and lower hook members via a connection screw, and the hook formed on the hook member is connected to the support bracket via the guide slit of the support bracket. It protrudes symmetrically on the front surface, and the hook member is moved up and down in the opposite direction via the connecting screw to engage with the engagement slits of the column material, and the support bracket is driven to the column material side. Regardless of the height of the material, the support bracket can be attached to the column material correctly and sufficiently firmly. This is because the upper and lower hook members are fixed by engaging the respective hooks with the engagement slits of the column members, and the hook member and the support bracket are locked so as not to be relatively movable. In addition, the support bracket driven to the column material side shall sandwich the panel material and the baseboard of the partition panel between the column material. In addition, the hook members may be relatively moved so as to approach each other via a connecting screw depending on the direction of the hooks to be formed, or may be relatively moved so as to move away from each other.
[0012]
Each hook engages with the engagement slit of the column member via the inclined surface, and the support bracket can be smoothly driven to the column member side as the engagement proceeds. In this case, in the column material at this time, the front end of the engagement slit with which the hook engages may be slightly deformed outward.
[0013]
Each hook member can be unified by making it the same shape and turning it upside down.
[0014]
A locking wedge formed on the hook member is press-fitted into the guide slit, and the hook member can be firmly locked to the support bracket.
[0015]
The guide slits that are divided into upper and lower portions can minimize a decrease in strength of the front surface of the support bracket.
[0016]
If the auxiliary base is attached to the support bracket, for example, by fixing the auxiliary base to the floor surface, it is possible to achieve a higher level of fall prevention strength.
[0017]
By attaching a protective cover to the support bracket, it is possible to arrange the appearance and prevent erroneous operation of the lock fitting.
[0018]

However, it is assumed that the engagement slits 31b and 31b and the engagement hooks 34a and 34a are formed at least at the upper part and the lower part of the column member 31 and the cover member 34, respectively.
[0021]
The support bracket 12 is erected on the front end of the auxiliary base 11 via set screws 12b and 12b (FIGS. 1 and 2). However, FIGS. 2A and 2B are an enlarged vertical sectional view of a main part and an enlarged exploded perspective view of the main part in FIG. The auxiliary base 11 is a plate material having sufficient strength, and a mounting hole 11 a for fixing to the floor surface is formed at the rear end of the auxiliary base 11. The support bracket 12 is formed by bending a plate material, and substantially triangular reinforcing portions 12e and 12e are formed on both sides of the front surface having the guide slits 12a and 12a, and a bottom portion 12f is formed by bending the lower portion of one reinforcing portion 12e inward. Has been. Note that the vertical guide slits 12a and 12a are vertically divided and arranged in a straight line.
[0022]
A protective cover 13 is attached to the support bracket 12. The cover 13 is formed in a box shape having a front portion and a lower opening, and can store the support bracket 12. The cover 13 engages the upper engaging ribs 13a with the steps 12c, 12c at the upper end of the support bracket 12, and the left and right engaging protrusions 13b, 13b... By engaging with 12d..., The support bracket 12 can be detachably mounted so as to cover from the rear.
[0023]
The lock fitting 20 is configured by connecting a pair of upper and lower hook members 21 and 21 via a connecting screw 22 (FIGS. 1 and 3). Each hook member 21 has a hook piece 21a that forms a substantially V-shaped hook 21a1, and the hook 21a1 has an inclined surface 21a4 with a gentle slope in front extending from an inward engagement protrusion 21a2 to a top 21a3 having a low tip. And a steeply inclined rear surface 21a5. The hook member 21 is formed with a trapezoidal wedge 21c for locking that protrudes on the hook piece 21a.
[0024]
The hook members 21 and 21 are connected symmetrically via a connecting screw 22 with a washer 22a and a plate nut 22b. The plate nut 22b is housed in one hook member 21 and is prevented from rotating. The hook members 21 and 21 have the same shape turned upside down so that the hooks 21a1 and 21a1 face each other inward. That is, the upper and lower hook members 21 and 21 are combined with the connecting screw 22 with the hooks 21a1 and 21a1 facing downward and upward.
[0025]
The lock fitting 20 is housed in the support bracket 12, and the hooks 21a1 and 21a1 of the hook pieces 21a and 21a are projected vertically symmetrically to the front surface of the support bracket 12 through the guide slits 12a and 12a, and the hooks 21a1 and 21a1 are made columnar. The engagement slits 31a and 31a can be engaged with each other (FIGS. 4 and 5). However, the left half of FIG. 4 shows the initial stage of engagement, and the right half shows the stage of completion of engagement. FIGS. 5A and 5B are cross-sectional views corresponding to lines X1-X1 and X2-X2 in FIG. 4, respectively. FIG. 5B is in the same direction as FIG. It is shown rotated. The lock fitting 20 is rotated by rotating the connecting screw 22 in the tightening direction so as to bring the hook members 21 and 21 closer (in the directions of arrows K1 and K1 in FIG. 4), whereby the hooks 21a1 and 21a with respect to the engagement slits 31a and 31a, The engagement of 21a1 proceeds.
[0026]
That is, in the initial stage of engagement, each hook 21a1 is engaged with the engagement slit 31a via the front slope 21a4, and the inward engagement protrusion 21a2 is engaged beyond the tip of the engagement slit 31a. In the meantime, the slope 21a4 drives the support bracket 12 to the column member 31 side via the hook member 21 as the engagement proceeds. A panel member 32 and a base plate 33 are sandwiched between the support bracket 12 and the column member 31, and each hook 21a1 finally deforms the front end of the engagement slit 31a outward, The hook members 21 and 21 and the support bracket 12 can be firmly fixed to the column member 31. On the other hand, when the engagement of the hooks 21a1, 21a1 with respect to the engagement slits 31a, 31a proceeds, the wedge 21c of each hook member 21 is press-fitted into the guide slit 12a of the support bracket 12, and the side surface of the hook member 21 is pushed to the side of the support bracket 12. The hook member 21 and the support bracket 12 can be locked so as not to move relative to each other by being pressed against the inner surface of the one reinforcing portion 12e.
[0027]
Therefore, the lock fitting 20 adjusts the level of the partition panel 30 via the adjusting bolt 31c, and then rotates the connecting screw 22 so that the lower surface of the auxiliary base 11 is placed on the floor surface regardless of the height of the column member 31. The support bracket 12 can be attached to the column member 31 with proper grounding. In the lock fitting 20, the hook pieces 21a and 21a of the hook members 21 and 21 are guided by the guide slits 12a and 12a and are arbitrarily moved in the vertical direction unless the engagement of the hooks 21a1 and 21a1 with the engagement slits 31a and 31a is completed. This is because it is movable and the relative height position with respect to the support bracket 12 is determined when the engagement of the hooks 21a1, 21a1 is completed. The support brackets 12 and 12 attached to the partition panel 30 in this way are attached with covers 13 and 13 to conceal the lock fittings 20 and 20 (FIG. 6), and the auxiliary bases 11 and 11 are fixed to the floor surface. Thus, a necessary and sufficient fall prevention strength for the partition panel 30 can be realized. However, the auxiliary bases 11 and 11 are not necessarily fixed to the floor surface.
[0028]
[Other embodiments]
The lock fitting 20 may have the hooks 21a1, 21a1 of the upper and lower hook members 21, 21 facing upward and downward, respectively (FIG. 7). The hook members 21, 21 are connected to each other via connecting screws 22 having male screw portions 22c, 22c that are oppositely threaded at both ends, and a slot 22d for rotational operation is formed at the upper end of the connecting screw 22. ing. Each of the hook members 21 and 21 is formed with a female screw 21d that fits the male screw portion 22c of the connecting screw 22. Therefore, the lock fitting 20 rotates the connecting screw 22 in the tightening direction to relatively move the hook members 21 and 21 away from each other (two-dot chain line in the figure), and the vertically symmetrical hooks 21a1, 21a1 can be engaged with the engagement slits 31a and 31a of the column member 31.
[0029]
Each hook member 21 may form a knurled slip stopper 21e on the side surface of the support bracket 12 on the side pressed against the reinforcing portion 12e (FIG. 8). 8B and 8C are enlarged cross-sectional views corresponding to the lines Y1-Y1 and Y2-Y2 in FIG. 8A, respectively. When the wedge 21c is press-fitted into the guide slit 12a of the support bracket 12, the hook member 21 is pressed against the inner surface of the reinforcing portion 12e via the anti-slip 21e (FIG. 3C), and further to the support bracket 12. It is locked firmly.
[0030]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, by combining the support bracket and the lock fitting having a pair of upper and lower hook members, the hooks formed on the hook members are respectively provided in the engagement slits of the column members of the partition panel. Since the hook member and the support bracket are locked so that they cannot be moved relative to each other, they can be easily attached to the partition panel after level adjustment regardless of the height of the column material, and sufficient fall prevention strength can be realized. There is an excellent effect.
