Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-23960

However, since the clothes-drying tool as described above can be attached only to the shelf board of the hanging cupboard, it lacks versatility and is unsatisfactory for consumers. For example, if the lighting fixture is installed under the shelf board of the hanging cupboard, there is not enough installation space near the shelf board due to the presence of the lighting fixture, or there is no hanging cupboard in the kitchen in the first place. Cannot be fitted with a clothesline.

Therefore, the present invention has been made based on the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a clothesline that can be hung from a wide range of objects.

The clothes-drying tool according to the present invention is rotatably connected to the hanging portion for suspending the suspended object, the mounting body attached to the hanging lower portion, and the rotation axis extending in the horizontal direction. A holder made of a hard synthetic resin having a holder body, a clip that is connected to the peripheral surface of the holder body so as to project outward and sandwiches a shelf board, and the clip with respect to the peripheral surface of the holder body. It is provided with a hook that is connected to different positions in the circumferential direction so as to project outward and can be hooked on a rod. The holder is allowed to rotate about the rotation axis of the holder body between the position where the hook protrudes upward with respect to the hanging lower portion and the position where the clip protrudes upward with respect to the hanging lower portion. At least the rotation of the holder body is prevented at each of the rotation allowable state, the position where the hook protrudes upward with respect to the hanging lower portion, and the position where the clip protrudes upward with respect to the hanging lower portion. It is configured to be switchable between the rotation blocking state and the rotation blocking state.

According to this configuration, the holder body is allowed to rotate about the rotation axis of the holder body between the position where the hook protrudes upward with respect to the hanging lower portion and the position where the clip protrudes upward with respect to the hanging lower portion. At least in the rotation allowable state, the position where the hook protrudes upward with respect to the hanging lower portion, and the position where the clip protrudes upward with respect to the hanging lower portion, at least the rotation blocking state in which the rotation of the holder body is blocked, and the rotation blocking state. It is configured to be switchable to. Therefore, the operator can switch between the hook and the clip according to the situation by switching from the rotation blocking state to the rotation allowable state and rotating the holder main body. That is, when the hook is projected upward with respect to the hanging lower portion, the hook can be hooked on the rod to suspend the clothesline. On the other hand, when the clip is projected upward with respect to the hanging lower portion, the shelf board can be sandwiched between the clips to suspend the clothesline. Therefore, the worker can hang the clothesline on a wide range of objects. Further, the operator can fix the hanging lower portion to the holder main body by switching the holder main body from the rotation allowable state to the rotation blocking state, and by extension, keep the clip or hook stable with respect to the hanging lower portion. Can be fixed. Further, since the holder is made of a hard synthetic resin, the wear caused by the rotation of the holder body with respect to the mounting body is reduced, and the durability is improved.

In the above configuration, one of the mounting body and the holder body may have a convex portion having two sides parallel to each other in a cross section orthogonal to the protruding direction. The other of the mounting body and the holder body may have an insertion hole into which the convex portion is inserted. The insertion hole is formed so as to have a hole diameter larger than the longest line segment among the line segments passing through the center in the cross section of the convex portion, thereby allowing relative rotation with the convex portion. The rotation allowable hole portion and the rotation allowable hole portion are communicated with each other, and the convex portion is formed so as to sandwich the two sides facing each other in parallel in the cross section of the convex portion. It may have a locking hole portion that prevents rotation.

According to this configuration, the insertion hole is formed so as to have a hole diameter larger than that of the longest line segment passing through the center in the cross section of the convex portion, so that the insertion hole rotates relative to the convex portion. Since the rotation allowable hole portion is provided, the rotation of the holder body is permitted in the state where the convex portion is located in the rotation allowable hole portion. Further, it has a locking hole portion that communicates with the rotation allowable hole portion and is formed so as to sandwich two sides facing each other in parallel in the cross section of the convex portion, thereby preventing relative rotation with the convex portion. Therefore, when the convex portion is located in the locking hole portion, the convex portion is pressed so as to be sandwiched from both sides by the locking hole portion. Therefore, when the convex portion is located in the locking hole portion, the convex portion is firmly gripped by the locking hole portion to prevent the rotation of the holder body. Further, as described above, with a simple configuration, it is possible to prevent the holder body from switching from the rotation-preventing state to the rotation-allowing state against the intention of the operator. Further, since the rotation allowable hole portion and the locking hole portion are communicated with each other, the convex portion can be moved between the rotation allowable hole portion and the locking hole portion with the convex portion inserted in the insertion hole. .. Therefore, the switching operation for switching between the rotation allowable state and the rotation preventive state is easy.

In the above configuration, the suspension may have at least two rods arranged horizontally apart and in parallel. The hook may be arranged on the peripheral surface of the holder body opposite to the clip with respect to the rotation axis. The cross section of the convex portion may have a square shape.

According to this configuration, since the hook is arranged on the peripheral surface opposite to the clip with respect to the rotation axis of the holder body, the hook and the clip are located in the same plane. Therefore, for example, the operator rotates the holder body 90 degrees from the position where the clip protrudes upward with respect to the hanging lower portion, and causes the clip and the hook to lie down with respect to the hanging lower portion, so that the two rod portions are positioned. Hooks and clips can be positioned in a flat surface, and in this laid-down state, the bulk of the clothesline is reduced and it becomes compact. Further, since the cross section of the convex portion has a square shape, the convex portion can move from the rotation allowable hole portion to the locking hole portion even when the clip and the hook are laid down with respect to the hanging lower portion. .. Therefore, the clothesline is advantageous for packaging, packing, transportation, and storage because the clip and hook can be prevented from rotating around the rotation axis of the holder body in the laid-down state with respect to the hanging lower portion.

In the above configuration, the mounting body may have the convex portion. The holder body may have the insertion hole. The locking hole portion may be arranged below the rotation allowable hole portion in a state where at least one of the clip and the hook protrudes upward with respect to the hanging lower portion.

According to this configuration, the locking hole portion is arranged under the rotation allowable hole portion in a state where at least one of the clip and the hook protrudes upward with respect to the hanging lower portion, so that the locking hole portion is provided in the locking hole portion. Even if a downward force due to the weight of the suspended object acts on the convex portion located via the suspended lower portion, the convex portion does not move from the locking hole portion to the rotation allowable hole portion. .. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the rotation-preventing state from being switched to the rotation-allowed state, contrary to the intention of the operator.

In the above configuration, the clip may be rotatably connected to the holder body about an orthogonal rotation axis orthogonal to the rotation axis of the holder body.

According to this configuration, the clip can be rotated about the axis of rotation orthogonal to the holder body, so that the orientation of the clip with respect to the suspended lower portion can be changed. Therefore, when the shelf board is clipped, the position of the hanging lower portion with respect to the shelf board can be changed, and even if the space near the shelf board is narrow, it becomes easy to install the clothesline in the space.

In the above configuration, the clip is a clip body that is attached to the connecting portion and is attached to the connecting portion and imparts a holding force for sandwiching the shelf board between the connecting portion connected to the holder body and the facing surface facing the connecting portion. And a flexible sheet body attached to the facing surface of the clip body. The width of the sheet body may be wider than the width of the facing surface of the clip body.

According to this configuration, the width of the sheet body is wider than the width of the facing surface of the clip body, so that when the shelf board is sandwiched between the clips, the shelf board is damaged by the edge portion in the width direction of the clip body. Can be prevented.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a clothesline that can be hung from a wide range of objects.

The holes 36 are formed along the longitudinal direction. As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, a part of the main body insertion hole 36 is opened downward, and the clip main body 30 is fixed to the clip fixing portion 32 corresponding to the downward open portion. A screw hole 35 is formed for this purpose. Further, in the central portion of the top wall portion 32b, a hole 58 having a rectangular cross section is formed in the vertical direction.

The insertion tube portion 33 is formed so as to project downward from the central portion on the open side of the clip fixing portion 32. A concave groove 37 into which the raised portion 28 of the inserted cylinder portion 20 of the holder main body 14 is fitted is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the insertion cylinder portion 33. The concave groove 37 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape that is slightly recessed from the outer peripheral surface of the insertion cylinder portion 33 in the axial direction of the insertion cylinder portion 33, and the insertion cylinder portion 33 is inserted into the inserted cylinder portion 20. The raised portion 28 of the inserted cylinder portion 20 is fitted into the concave groove 37 of the insertion cylinder portion 33. As a result, the insertion cylinder portion 33 is orthogonal to the rotation axis 14c as shown in FIG. 2 when a force in the circumferential direction of a certain value or more is applied in the state of being inserted into the insertion cylinder portion 20 of the holder main body 14. It is configured to rotate about the orthogonal rotation axis 29c. Therefore, the operator can obtain a click feeling when the connecting portion 29 is rotated about the orthogonal rotation axis 29c with respect to the holder main body 14. Four concave grooves 37 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the insertion cylinder portion 33 at regular intervals in the circumferential direction.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a conical cylindrical boss portion 38 extending upward is formed in the lower portion inside the protruding end of the insertion cylinder portion 33. The inner surface of the peripheral wall of the boss portion 38 is a tapered surface whose inner diameter gradually decreases upward. A notch 39 extending upward is formed on the peripheral wall of the boss portion 38. As a result, the boss portion 38 is easily elastically deformed outward in the radial direction. For example, three notches 39 are provided at regular intervals in the circumferential direction of the boss portion 38.

As shown in FIG. 2, the clip main body 30 is formed by bending an elongated substantially rectangular metal plate material into a substantially U-shaped cross section. Specifically, the clip main body 30 has a fixing portion 40 fixed to the clip fixing portion 32, a rising portion 41 rising from one end edge of the fixing portion 40, and a fixing portion bent from the upper end edge of the rising portion 41. It has a holding portion 42 extending substantially parallel to 40.

The fixing portion 40 is formed in a rectangular plate shape, and has a through hole 40a into which a screw 43 for fixing to the clip fixing portion 32 is inserted. The rising portion 41 is formed in a rectangular plate shape having a length shorter in the longitudinal direction than the fixing portion 40. The sandwiching portion 42 is formed in a rectangular plate shape having a length longer in the longitudinal direction than the fixing portion 40, and is bent at an acute angle from the upper end edge of the rising portion 41. The tip end side of the sandwiching portion 42 is slightly bent in the direction opposite to the fixing portion 40, and the tip end edge is formed in an arc shape.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the sheet body 31 is attached over the entire surface of the sandwiching portion 42 on the side facing the fixed portion 40. The width of the sheet body 31 is slightly wider than the width of the sandwiching portion 42. For example, the width of the sheet body 31 can be made wider by about 1 to 3 mm than the width of the holding portion 42. The sheet body 31 can be formed of a flexible resin or rubber. The material of the sheet body 31 is not particularly limited, but in this embodiment, polyester is used. In FIG. 8, the horizontal shaft portion 19 of the holder main body 14 is omitted.

The clip 4 configured as described above is assembled as follows. First, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the operator inserts the fixing portion 40 into the clip fixing portion 32 through the main body insertion hole 36 on the other short side wall portion 32c side of the clip fixing portion 32, and raises the portion. The 41 is brought close to the other short side wall portion 32c of the clip fixing portion 32. In this state, the screw 43 is inserted into the through hole 40a and the screw hole 35 to fix the fixing portion 40 to the clip fixing portion 32. As a result, the holding portion 42 is in a state of facing the top wall portion 32b of the clip fixing portion 32, and is configured to impart a holding force for sandwiching the shelf board 100 with the top wall portion 32b. The connecting portion 29 may be omitted by being integrally formed with the holder main body 14. In this case, the fixing portion 40 of the clip main body 30 is rotatably connected to the holder main body 14 about the orthogonal rotation axis 29c.

Next, the hook 5 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the hook 5 projects outward from the peripheral surface of the holder body 14 opposite to the clip 4 with respect to the rotation axis 14c in the vertical direction (orthogonal rotation axis 29c). It is rotatably connected and hooked on a rod to hang the clothesline 1. The hook 5 is made of a hard synthetic resin. The hook 5 is formed at a substantially U-shaped hook portion 44 that can be hooked on a rod and a base end of the hook portion 44, and is a mounting portion for attaching the hook portion 44 to the inserted cylinder portion 20 of the holder main body 14. 45 and.

The mounting portion 45 is formed at a circular contact portion 46 formed at the base end of the hook portion 44, a columnar portion 47 extending from the contact portion 46 in the direction opposite to the hook portion 44, and a protruding end of the columnar portion 47. It has a locking portion 48 that expands in diameter with respect to the cylindrical portion 47. The contact portion 46 has a diameter slightly larger than the inner diameter of the contact flange portion 20b of the inserted cylinder portion 20 of the holder main body 14. The cylindrical portion 47 has a diameter slightly smaller than the smallest inner diameter of the boss portion 38 of the insertion cylinder portion 33 of the clip 4. The locking portion 48 has a diameter slightly larger than the smallest inner diameter of the boss portion 38 of the insertion cylinder portion 33 of the clip 4, and the diameter gradually increases from the cylindrical portion 47 in the direction opposite to the contact portion 46. It has a small circular cross section.

The clip 4 and the hook 5 configured as described above are attached to the holder main body 14 as follows. First, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 2, the insertion cylinder portion 33 of the clip 4 is inserted into the inserted cylinder portion 20 of the holder body 14, and the clip fixing portion 32 is inserted into the clip storage portion of the horizontal shaft portion 19 of the holder body 14. Install at 21. In this state, the raised portion 28 of the inserted cylinder portion 20 is fitted into the concave groove 37 of the insertion cylinder portion 33, and the insertion cylinder portion 33 is rotatable about the orthogonal rotation axis 29c orthogonal to the rotation axis 14c. Become. Next, the mounting portion 45 of the hook 5 is inserted into the inserted cylinder portion 20 from the protruding side of the inserted cylinder portion 20 of the holder body 14, and the locking portion 48 of the mounting portion 45 is inserted into the insertion cylinder portion 33 of the clip 4. It is brought into contact with the boss portion 38. In this state, by pushing the hook 5 against the boss portion 38, the boss portion 38 is elastically deformed and the locking portion 48 is passed through the inside of the boss portion 38. When the locking portion 48 passes through the inside of the boss portion 38, as shown in FIG. 8, the cylindrical portion 47 having a diameter smaller than the smallest inner diameter of the boss portion 38 is located inside the boss portion 38, and the boss The portion 38 returns to its original shape. At this time, the contact portion 46 of the hook 5 is in contact with the contact flange portion 20b of the inserted cylinder portion 20 of the holder main body 14. As a result, the insertion cylinder portion 33 of the connecting portion 29 in the clip 4 is prevented from coming off from the inserted cylinder portion 20 of the holder main body 14, and the locking portion 48 cannot pass through the inside of the boss portion 38, so that the hook 5 Is prevented from coming off from the inserted cylinder portion 20 of the holder main body 14.

Next, a method of using the clothesline 1 configured as described above will be described. First, a case where the shelf board 100 of the hanging cupboard is installed in the kitchen will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 10, the operator positions the convex portion 17 of the mounting body 13 in the rotation allowable hole portion 24 of the insertion hole 23 of the holder main body 14, and centers the rotation shaft 14c of the holder main body 14. Make the rotation allowable state to allow rotation. In this state, the operator rotates the holder main body 14 around the rotation shaft 14c, and causes the clip 4 to project upward with respect to the suspension lower portion 2 as shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the locking hole portions 25 of the insertion hole 23 are arranged on both sides of the rotation allowable hole portion 24 in the vertical direction. Next, the operator pushes up the holder main body 14 upward to move the convex portion 17 from the rotation allowable hole portion 24 to the locking hole portion 25 (broken line in FIG. 4). As a result, the protruding pieces 18 and 18 of the convex portion 17 are pressed by the inner surfaces 25a and 25a of the locking hole portion 25, and the relative rotation between the convex portion 17 and the locking hole portion 25 is prevented. .. As a result, the rotation allowable state is switched to the rotation blocking state in which the rotation of the holder body 14 around the rotation shaft 14c is blocked. Next, the shelf board 100 is sandwiched between the holding portion 42 of the clip 4 and the top wall portion 32b of the connecting portion 29. As a result, the clothesline is hung on the shelf board 100. Finally, the worker sandwiches a suspended object such as a cloth or gloves in the pinch 9.

Further, for example, when there is not enough space to install the drying tool 1 in the vicinity of the shelf board 100 due to the presence of the lighting fixture installed under the shelf board 100 of the hanging cupboard, the clip 4 is hung from the hanging lower portion 2. As shown in FIG. 11, the clip 4 is rotated 90 degrees around the orthogonal rotation axis 29c to clip the shelf plate 100 in a state where the holder body 14 is switched to the rotation blocking state by projecting upward with respect to the above. It may be sandwiched between.

On the other hand, when the hanging cupboard is not installed in the kitchen and a rod extending in the horizontal direction (not shown) is installed, the clothesline 1 is hung on the rod by hooking the hook 5 on the rod. May be good. In this case, the operator first puts the holder main body 14 in a rotation-allowable state, rotates the holder main body 14 around the rotation shaft 14c, and causes the hook 5 to project upward with respect to the hanging lower portion 2. Subsequent operations are performed in the same manner as described above to put the holder body 14 in the rotation-prevented state. In this state, the operator hooks the hook 5 on the rod and sandwiches the suspended object such as a cloth or gloves in the pinch 9.

Next, a case where the clothes-drying tool 1 is stored will be described. First, the operator removes the suspended object suspended from the pinch 9 from the pinch 9, and removes the clip 4 from the shelf board 100. Next, the operator pushes down the holder body 14 to move the convex portion 17 of the mounting body 13 from the locking hole portion 25 of the insertion hole 23 to the rotation allowable hole portion 24 (see FIG. 4). As a result, relative rotation is allowed between the convex portion 17 and the rotation allowable hole portion 24, and the rotation prevention state is switched to the rotation allowable state. Next, the operator rotates the holder body 14 by 90 degrees around the rotation shaft 14c. At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, the locking hole portions 25 are located on both sides of the rotation allowable hole portion 24 in the extending direction of the first rod portion 6 (both sides in the left-right direction in FIG. 10). Finally, the operator moves the holder body 14 in the left-right direction to move the convex portion 17 from the rotation allowable hole portion 24 to the locking hole portion 25 (broken line in FIG. 10). As a result, relative rotation is prevented between the convex portion 17 and the locking hole portion 25, the rotation allowable state is switched to the rotation blocking state, and the clip 4 and the hook 5 are connected to the first and second rod portions. It is located in the same plane passing through 6 and 7. In this state, the worker stores the clothesline 1 in the storage space.

According to the clothes-drying tool 1, the holder body 14 is located between the position where the hook 5 protrudes upward with respect to the hanging lower portion 2 and the position where the clip 4 protrudes upward with respect to the hanging lower portion 2. The holder body 14 is in a rotation-allowed state in which rotation around the rotation shaft 14c is allowed, a position where the hook 5 protrudes upward with respect to the hanging lower portion 2, and a position where the clip 4 protrudes upward with respect to the hanging lower portion 2. It is configured to be switchable between a rotation blocking state in which rotation around the rotation shaft 14c is blocked. Therefore, when the operator switches from the rotation-prevented state to the rotation-allowed state and rotates the holder body 14 around the rotation shaft 14c so that the hook 5 protrudes upward with respect to the suspension lower portion 2, the hook 5 becomes a rod. The hook 5 can be hooked to hang the clothesline. On the other hand, when the clip 4 is projected upward with respect to the hanging lower portion 2, the shelf board 100 can be sandwiched between the clips 4 to suspend the clothes drying tool 1. Therefore, the worker can hang the clothesline on a wide range of objects. Further, the operator can fix the hanging lower portion 2 to the holder main body 14 by switching the holder main body from the rotation allowable state to the rotation blocking state, and by extension, attach the clip 4 or the hook 5 to the hanging lower portion 2. Can be fixed in a stable state. Further, since the holder 3 is made of a hard synthetic resin, the wear caused by the rotation of the holder main body 14 with respect to the mounting body 13 is reduced, and the durability is improved.

According to the clothes-drying tool 1, since the rotation allowable hole portion 24 of the insertion hole 23 and the locking hole portion 25 are communicated with each other, the convex portion 17 is inserted into the insertion hole 23 and the convex portion 17 is inserted into the rotation allowable hole. It can be moved between the portion 24 and the locking hole portion 25. Therefore, the switching operation for switching between the rotation allowable state and the rotation preventive state is easy.

According to the clothes-drying tool 1, the convex portion 17 has two parallel projecting pieces 18 and 18, so that the convex portion 17 is easily elastically deformed in the opposite direction. Therefore, when the convex portion 17 moves from the rotation allowable hole portion 24 to the locking hole portion 25, the facing surfaces 18a and 18a facing each other on the outer side of the facing surfaces of the two protruding pieces 18 and 18 are pressed from both sides. By being sandwiched in such a manner, it is easily elastically deformed and easily moved from the rotation allowable hole portion 24 to the locking hole portion 25. Therefore, the operator can easily switch the holder main body 14 from the rotation allowable state to the rotation preventive state.

According to the clothes-drying tool 1, the convex portion 17 is formed so as to have a substantially square cross section, and the locking hole portion 25 has two projecting pieces 18 in a state where the convex portion 17 is located at the locking hole portion 25. , 18 are formed so as to sandwich two facing surfaces 18a and 18a that face each other in parallel on the outer side of the facing surfaces that face each other in parallel (broken line in FIG. 4). Therefore, when the convex portion 17 is located in the locking hole portion 25, the convex portion 17 is pressed so as to be sandwiched from both sides by the locking hole portion 25, so that the convex portion 17 is firmly gripped by the locking hole portion 25. Therefore, with a simple configuration, it is possible to prevent the holder body 14 from switching from the rotation-preventing state to the rotation-allowing state against the intention of the operator.

According to the clothes-drying tool 1, the hook 5 is arranged on the peripheral surface opposite to the clip 4 with respect to the rotation shaft 14c of the holder main body 14, so that the hook 5 and the clip 4 are located in the same plane. is doing. Therefore, the operator rotates the holder body 14 90 degrees around the rotation shaft 14c from the position where the clip 4 protrudes upward with respect to the hanging lower portion 2, and causes the clip 4 and the hook 5 to lie down with respect to the hanging lower portion 2. By doing so, the hook 5 and the clip 4 can be positioned in the plane on which the first and second rod portions 6 and 7 are located, and in this laid-down state, the bulk of the clothes-drying tool 1 is suppressed and the clothes-drying tool 1 becomes compact. Further, since the cross section of the convex portion 17 has a square shape, as shown in FIG. 10, even when the clip 4 and the hook 5 are laid down with respect to the hanging lower portion 2, the convex portion 17 has a rotation allowable hole. It can be moved from the portion 24 to the locking hole portion 25. Therefore, the clothes-drying tool 1 can prevent the clip 4 and the hook 5 from rotating around the rotation shaft 14c of the holder body 14 in a state of lying down with respect to the hanging lower portion 2, and thus is packaged, packed, and transported. It is advantageous for storage and storage.

According to the clothes-drying tool 1, the locking hole portion 25 is arranged under the rotation allowable hole portion 24 in a state where the clip 4 and the hook 5 project upward with respect to the hanging lower portion 2, and thus the locking hole portion 25 is locked. Even if a downward force due to the weight of the suspended object acts on the convex portion 17 located in the hole portion 25 via the hanging lower portion 2, the convex portion 17 rotates from the locking hole portion 25. It does not move to the allowable hole portion 24. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the holder body 14 from switching from the rotation-preventing state to the rotation-allowed state, contrary to the intention of the operator.

According to the drying tool 1, the clip 4 is rotatably connected to the holder body 14 about the orthogonal rotation axis 29c orthogonal to the rotation axis 14c of the holder body 14, so that the clip 4 is connected to the holder body 14. By rotating the clip 4 around the orthogonal rotation axis 29c, the orientation of the clip 4 with respect to the first and second rod portions 6 and 7 can be changed. Therefore, when the shelf board 100 is sandwiched between the clips 4, the position of the hanging lower portion 2 with respect to the shelf board 100 can be changed, and even if the space in the vicinity of the shelf board 100 is narrow, the clothesline 1 can be placed in that space. It will be easier to install.

According to the clothes-drying tool 1, the width dimension of the sheet body 31 of the clip 4 is longer than the width dimension of the holding portion 42 of the clip body 30, so that when the shelf board 100 is sandwiched by the clip 4, the edge of the holding portion 42 is used. It is possible to prevent the shelf board 100 from being damaged by the portion.
