Description

[0001]
[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a connecting member for plate members constituting a top plate such as a table or a shelf.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Recently, there are a lot of assembly furniture that buyers can arrange freely according to their own preference, and tables that can be freely assembled and disassembled with the outdoor boom. , Can be folded by forming a hinge on the top plate, or can be removed from the top plate by removing the legs and base part, so that it can be arranged according to your preference and eliminates bulkiness during transportation What is comprised so that it can do is common.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the assembly furniture that is placed indoors, if the size of the top plate part is specified, the range that the purchaser can arrange freely will be extremely limited, A table or the like used outdoors has a drawback that the purpose of preventing bulkiness cannot be sufficiently exhibited unless the top plate itself can be disassembled.
[0004]
The present invention relates to a connecting member for plate materials constituting a top plate such as a table or a shelf, and by using this, it is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems found in conventional ones. It is.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention relates to a connector for allowing a plate material constituting a top plate such as a table or a shelf to be freely connected, and includes an attachment member to the plate member and a connection material that can be engaged with the attachment member. By attaching attachment members to each plate material constituting the top plate and allowing the connection material to be engaged with it, each plate material can be freely connected, and the size and shape of the top plate etc. can be freely arranged It is what we try to be able to do.
[0006]
【Example】
An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the connector main body 1 includes an attachment member 3 to a plate member 2 constituting a table, a shelf board, and the like, and an attachment member 3. The attachment member 3 to the plate member 2 is formed with a holding portion 5 for engaging the connection member 4 and is engaged with a fitting portion 7 formed on the connection member 4. The connecting member 4 is configured so that the one half and the other half can be engaged with different mounting members 3 and 3, respectively. 3, the engagement state between the attachment member 3 and the connecting member 4 can be fixed by engaging the fixing means 6 formed on the attachment member 3 with the fitting portion 7. -ing
[0007]
That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the attachment member 3 to the plate member 2 is formed with holding portions 5 that can engage both side portions of the connecting material 4 on both side portions, and is connected to the holding portion 5. By inserting both sides of the material 4, the connecting material 4 can be held.
[0008]
In addition, when the connecting member 4 is engaged, a fixing means 6 for fixing the state of the connecting member 4 to the plate member 2 is formed. That is, the fixing means 6 is attached so that the base portion of the hook member having the hook portion 8 at the tip portion is swingable by the fulcrum shaft, and is always attached by the spring 9 so that the hook portion 8 is lowered. Thus, the hook portion 8 can be lifted upward by placing the finger on the tip portion 10 and pulling it up.
[0009]
The above is a case where a spring-biased rotating metal fitting is used as the fixing means. As another example of the fixing means formed on the attachment member 3, as shown in FIG. 3, a hole 13 into which the fixing means 6 can be inserted is formed, while a fitting portion 7 into which the tip of the fixing means 6 can be inserted is formed in the connecting member 4, and the connecting member 4 is engaged with the mounting member 3, and then the fixing means It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a fixed state can be achieved by inserting 6 into the fitting portion 7 and that the engaged and fixed state can be released by removing it.
[0010]
The attachment member 3 to the plate member 2 has the above-described configuration. However, when attaching to the plate member 2 constituting the top plate, the shelf, or the like, as shown in FIGS. After the mounting member 3 is disposed, the screws 12 are inserted through the mounting holes 11 and screwed into the plate member 2. FIG. 5 shows another example of attachment to the plate member 2, and a recess 14 corresponding to the shape of the attachment member 3 is formed in advance on the back surface end portion of the plate member 2, and the recess 14 is formed in the recess 14. The case where it attaches in the state which embedded the attachment member 3 is shown.
[0011]
The connecting member 4 is formed in a shape that allows one half and the other half to be engaged and held by different mounting members 3. When the connecting member 4 is engaged and held by the mounting member 3, the connecting member 4 is formed on the mounting member 3. Therefore, when the connecting member 4 is engaged with the attachment member 3 to the plate member 2, the fixing member 6 of the fixing member 6 is engaged. The hook portion 8 enters the fitting portion 7 of the connecting member 4, whereby the attachment member 3 and the connecting member 4 are connected and fixed, and connected by pulling the tip 10 of the fixing means 6 with a finger and pulling it up. The fixed state is released and both can be separated.
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
The connector main body 1 according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, and is attached to the plate material 2 constituting the table top plate, shelf, etc., so that the top plate, shelf, etc. can be freely shaped according to the space. It can be arranged, and if the plate material 2 is increased as necessary, the area of the top plate and the shelf can be easily increased, and the disassembly can be easily performed by the operation of the fixing means 6. Even when it is used as a table for business, etc., it is convenient not to be bulky when carrying and storing. Furthermore, when it is used as a shelf board, there is an advantage that it can be arranged not only as a shelf board at home but also as a shelf board for display at various stores in a size and shape as required.
[0013]
6 shows a case where a plurality of plate members 2... Are connected to form a top plate, and legs are attached to the table to form a table. FIG. Is formed along the wall of the room and a shelf is formed by attaching a column to the wall. By using the connector according to the present invention, it is possible to arrange in such a free shape, and If it is disassembled, there is an advantage that it can be reduced to the size of each plate member 2.
