Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a panel connection device. Conventionally, when connecting panels of different height dimensions in a straight line, as shown in FIG. Locking holes D formed at a predetermined interval in the vertical direction of the left and right ends of the panel C
It was engaged with...

Therefore, low panel B or high panel C
When one side of the panel is adjusted for level adjustment or lifted for movement, the connecting fitting is also lifted at the same time, and the locking hole of one panel and the locking claw of one of the connecting fittings are disengaged, causing the low panel B or high panel There was a very dangerous drawback that Panel C could accidentally fall over.

The purpose of this invention is to improve the above drawbacks,
To provide a panel connecting device that prevents accidental detachment of two panels by preventing them from moving independently in the height direction after they are connected, but always moving in unison. Engagement holes formed at a predetermined interval in the vertical direction of the left and right ends of the low panel;
A locking pawl that linearly connects the high panel and the low panel by engaging with a plurality of engagement holes formed at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction of the left and right ends of the high panel,
An engaging metal fitting having a substantially U-shaped cross section formed at the end on the locking hole side and a substantially U-shaped cross section fitting into the lower engagement hole in which the locking pawl engages. It consists of a holding fitting having a fitting protrusion of approximately matching size, and a cover that is attached to the front side of the holding fitting so as to protrude upward and engages with the engaging fitting to prevent the holding fitting from coming off. be.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, reference numeral 1 indicates a high panel, and reference numeral 2 indicates a low panel, and on the left and right ends of both panels 1 and 2, there are a plurality of engagement panels at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction. Holes 11..., 21... are formed.

Reference numeral 3 indicates an engaging fitting having a substantially U-shaped cross section, and downward locking claws 32 are formed at the ends of the side walls 31, 31 on the side of the engaging holes 11, 21, and further. Fitting holes 33, 33 for a cover 5, which will be described later, are formed at the upper ends of the front sides of the side walls 31, 31.

Reference numeral 4 indicates a holding fitting having a substantially U-shaped cross section;
Fitting protrusions 41, 41 that substantially match the engagement holes 11, 21 are formed at the ends. and,
A cover 5 having a substantially U-shaped cross section is fixed to the front side of the holding fitting 4 so as to protrude upward and hide the front side of the engaging fitting 3.

Furthermore, fitting protrusions 52, 52 that protrude inwardly are formed on the upper portions of the side plates 51, 51 of the cover 5, corresponding to the fitting holes 33, 33 of the engaging metal fittings 3.

The present invention is constructed as described above, and has a high panel 1
After arranging the low panels 2 and 2 in a straight line, the respective locking claws 32 of the engaging metal fittings 3 are inserted into the engaging holes 11 of the high panel 1 and the low panel 2, 21...
... from the front, push down the engagement metal fitting 3 and insert the locking claws 32, 32 into the engagement holes 11...,
21... to connect the high panel 1 and the low panel 2 in a straight line by engaging between them.

Next, the fitting protrusions 41, 41 of the holding fitting 4 are fitted into the engagement holes 11, 21 below the engaging metal fitting 3.

In this state, when one panel, for example, the low panel 2, is about to be lifted, one fitting protrusion 41 fitted into the engagement hole 21 of the low panel 2 is also about to be lifted, so that the other fitting protrusion 41 The high panel 1 on the side of the engagement hole 11 into which the lock has been inserted is also lifted up at almost the same time as the low panel 2, and the engagement tool 3 also moves together with the high panel 1 and the low panel 2, so the locking claws 32, 32 of the engagement tool 3 Engagement hole 1
1 and 21, and the connected state of the high panel 1 and the low panel 2 is maintained.

That is, the holding fittings 4 prevent the high panel 1 and the low panel 2 from moving independently in the height direction.

And the fitting protrusions 41, 41 of the holding fitting 4
The engagement holes 11 and 2 of the high panel 1 and low panel 2
1, the fitting protrusion 52 of the cover 5 fixed to the front surface of the holding metal fitting 4 is fitted into the fitting hole 33 of the engaging metal fitting 3, and the holding fitting 4 is accidentally inserted into the fitting hole 1.
1 and 12, and hides the front part of the engaging fitting 3.

In the embodiment, the cover 5 and the holding fitting 4 are engaged with each other through the fitting protrusion 52 and the fitting hole 33, but screws or the like may be used as the means for attaching the cover 5 and the holding fitting 4. can be changed as appropriate without departing from the gist of the present invention.

<<Effects>> As described above, the present invention forms a plurality of engagement holes at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction of the left and right ends of the high panel and the low panel, and makes the engagement fittings approximately U-shaped in cross section. A downward locking pawl is formed on the end of the engagement hole, so the high panel and low panel can be securely connected by simply engaging the locking pawl with the locking hole of the high panel and low panel. I can do it.

The holding fitting has a substantially U-shaped cross section, and a fitting protrusion is formed at the end, and the fitting protrusion is formed in a size that approximately matches the engagement hole, so that each of the fitting protrusions is By simply fitting into the respective engagement holes of the low panel and high panel, it is possible to prevent the low panel and high panel from moving independently in the height direction. There is no risk of the panel falling out of the engagement hole and accidentally falling over.

In addition, since a cover is provided on the front side of the holding metal fitting that projects upward, the engaging metal fitting is hidden when the holding metal fitting is attached to the engagement hole, resulting in a very good appearance.

In addition, since the cover engages with the engagement metal fitting to prevent the holding metal fitting from coming off, the holding metal fitting does not accidentally slip out of the engagement hole, making it safe.
