Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a bracket used for installing a picture rail on a wall surface.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As shown in FIG. 5A, the conventional bracket 20 includes a metal plate main body 21 and a synthetic resin molded elastic movable body held by the main body so as to be movable up and down. The picture rail 16 is attached to the bracket 20 by latching the concave upper edge 17 to the fixed hook portion 23 of the main body 21 and the concave lower edge 18 to the movable hook portion 24 that elastically moves up and down the elastic movable body 22. there were. As shown in FIG. 5B, the bracket 20 rotates so as to lift up the picture rail 16 around the upper edge 17 of the recess when the picture rail 16 is attached to or removed from the bracket 20. A gap of about 15 mm was required between the upper surface of 16 and the ceiling surface 13. There is a problem that this relatively large gap impairs the design of the picture rail.
[0003]
Further, when the upper edge 17 of the concave portion of the picture rail 16 is detached from the fixed hook portion 23 of the bracket 20 by the action of the external force, the picture rail 16 is immediately dropped to be dangerous. Further, since the lower edge 18 of the concave portion of the picture rail 16 engages with the movable hook portion 24 that moves up and down elastically, when the external force acts on the lower edge side of the picture rail 16, the lower edge 18 of the concave portion is detached from the bracket 20 and falls. There was danger.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and the problem is that the picture rail can be installed close to the ceiling surface, and the upper edge of the concave portion of the picture rail is separated from the fixing hook of the bracket. An object of the present invention is to provide a bracket capable of preventing the picture rail from falling even if it is detached or an external force acts on the lower edge side of the concave portion of the picture rail.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the means employed by the present invention comprises a main body made of a metal plate fixed to a wall surface or the like, and an elastic movable body of a synthetic resin molded product that is elastically held up and down by the main body. In the bracket, the back side of the upper end of both sides protruding from the main body to the front side is formed as a fixed upper edge hook, the back side of the lower end of the elastic movable body is formed as a movable lower edge hook, and the front side is formed as a lower guide slope. Then, when the picture rail is pressed perpendicularly to the wall with the upper edge of the recess on the back of the picture rail in contact with the upper guide slope and the lower edge of the recess in contact with the lower guide slope, the upper edge of the recess hooks on the fixed upper edge hook, The edge is held between the movable lower edge hook and the fixed lower edge hook.
[0006]
It is preferable that both side portions are further extended to the front side and the tip end is formed as an auxiliary hook that is hooked by the upper edge of the recess of the picture rail that is detached from the fixed upper edge hook.
[0007]
Both sides arranged symmetrically, Slight direction then opposite to protrude to the front side from both left and right sides of the body middle surrounds the elastic movable member, be adapted to form an auxiliary hook again projected to the front side it can.
[0008]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The bracket of the present invention will be described based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.
1 is a side view of the embodiment bracket, FIG. 2 is a front view, and FIG. 3 is a plan view.
[0009]
As shown in the drawing, the bracket 1 includes a main body 2 made of a metal plate and an elastic movable body 3 made of a synthetic resin supported by the main body 2. The main body 2 is rectangular when viewed from the front, and is provided with a set screw through hole 4 at the center and a fixed lower edge hook 5 that curves to the front side at the lower edge. The left and right sides of the center of the main body 2 project at right angles to the front side to form both side portions 6. Both side portions 6 extend inwardly facing each other, and then extend again to the front at a right angle to form an auxiliary hook 7 whose tip is upward.
[0010]
A fixed upper edge hook 8 that hangs the upper edge of the concave portion of the picture rail is formed on the back side of the upper end portion of both side portions 6, and an upper guide slope 9 is formed on the front side. Both projecting portions 19 of the elastic movable body 3 arranged inside the both side portions 6 are fitted into the support grooves 10 formed at the upper end portions of the both side portions 6 so that the elastic movable body 3 is elastically supported in a vertically movable manner. The back side of the lower end of the elastic movable body 3 is formed on the movable lower edge hook 11 and the front side is formed on the lower guide slope 12.
[0011]
4A and 4B are side views showing the attachment and detachment of the bracket and the picture rail. FIG. 4A shows the state before or after the attachment, FIG. 4B shows the attached state, and FIG. 4C shows the upper edge of the concave portion of the picture rail. The state where the bracket is detached from the fixed upper edge hook is shown.
[0012]
As shown in FIG. 4A, the bracket 1 is fixed to the wall surface 15 with a set screw 14 so that the upper surface of the main body 2 is in contact with the ceiling surface 13. The picture rail 16 abuts the upper edge 17 of the recess parallel to the bracket 1 and the upper guide slope 9 of the main body 2 and the lower edge 18 of the recess against the lower guide slope 12 of the elastic movable body 3. If the picture rail 16 is pressed perpendicularly to the wall surface 15 as indicated by a thick arrow, the upper edge 17 of the recess is over the upper guide slope 12 and is hooked on the fixed upper edge hook 8 as shown in FIG. Since the recess lower edge 18 is held between the movable lower edge hook 11 of the elastic movable body 3 and the fixed lower edge hook 5 of the main body 2, the picture rail 16 is firmly held by the bracket 1. At this time, since the gap between the upper surface of the picture rail 16 and the ceiling surface 13 is about 5 mm, there is no possibility that the designability is impaired. Since the lower edge 18 of the concave portion of the picture rail 16 is held between the main body 2 of the bracket 1 and the elastic movable body 3, even if an external force is applied to the lower side of the picture rail 16, the lower edge 18 of the concave portion is detached from the bracket 1. There is no danger of the rail 16 falling.
[0013]
When the picture rail 16 is attached to the bracket 1, even if the concave upper edge 17 of the picture rail 16 is detached from the fixed upper edge hook 8, the concave upper edge 17 is an auxiliary hook of the bracket 1 as shown in FIG. 7, there is no danger of the picture rail 16 falling immediately.
[0014]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the bracket of the present invention not only cannot attach the conventional picture rail close to the ceiling surface but also has a risk of dropping the picture rail due to external force. Because it has an upper guide slope that inserts the edge into the fixed upper edge hook, a fixed lower edge hook that holds the lower edge of the concave portion together with the movable lower edge hook, and an auxiliary hook that latches the upper edge of the concave portion separated from the fixed upper edge hook The following excellent effects are achieved.
1. Since the picture rail can be mounted close to the ceiling surface, the design of the picture rail is improved.
2. Even if the upper edge of the concave portion is detached from the fixed upper edge hook of the bracket, the risk of the picture rail falling immediately is prevented.
3. Even if an external force acts on the lower side of the picture rail, there is no possibility that the underline of the concave portion of the picture rail will come off the bracket and fall.
