Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a construction method and apparatus for rotatably supporting a plate-like member with one support.

Conventionally, various construction methods have been used to rotatably support a plate-like member with a single support, but the simple construction methods result in poor mechanical strength of the resulting device and Attempts to increase the mechanical strength have the drawback of complicating the construction method and increasing the cost of the equipment.

The present invention was made in order to solve the above problems, and although it is an extremely simple construction method, the resulting device has excellent mechanical strength. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a construction method and device for rotatably supporting the structure with individual pillars.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 showing one embodiment. 1 has parallel opposing surfaces 4', 5' and 6' with a gap equal to the thickness of the plate member 8 to be supported.
A set of support members 2 and 3 consisting of two bar-shaped support members 4, 5 and 6, 7 each having a square cross section and held at 7'.
It is a combination support member formed by arranging two sets of the above in parallel on two parallel planes including opposing faces 4', 6' and 5', 7' adjacent to each other at appropriate intervals. It is located approximately at the center of the plate-like member 8 inserted between the opposing surfaces 4', 5' and 6', 7'.

The plate member 8 is fixed near both ends of the support members 2 and 3 by thick rods 9 that penetrate through the plate member 8 and are fixed to the support members 2 and 3.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a column with a square cross section that penetrates vertically and perpendicularly to the plate member 8 at the center of the combination support member 1 (the center of gravity of the plate member 8), and extends through the column 10 on both the upper and lower sides of the plate member 8. The supporting members 2, 3 are fixed by thick rods 9' fixed to the adjacent supporting members 4, 6 and 5, 7, respectively, and the lower end is connected to the plate member 8.
is fixed to a base 12 via a bearing 11 so as to be rotatable.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a support device in which the plate member 8 is rotatably supported by one support 10.

In this case, the plate-like member 8 is fixed by both supporting members 2 and 3 arranged in parallel while holding the plate-like member 8, and the plate-like member 8 is fixed at the center of the combined supporting member 1.
The support column 10 inserted perpendicularly to the plate-like member 8 is fixed by the adjacent support members 4, 6 and 5, 7 of the support members 2, 3, respectively, on both sides of the plate member 8. The plate member 8 and the column 10 are held extremely firmly by the combined support member 1.

This device 13 can be used in an extremely wide range of applications, such as small furniture products such as rotating tables and rotating counters, and large rotating houses.

In the above embodiment, each of the rod-shaped support members 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the combination support member 1 is made of a square member with a square cross section, but the surfaces 4', which contact the plate-shaped member 8,
5', 6', 7, and the surfaces that contact the pillar 10 are flat, the other surfaces may have an appropriate shape such as a circle. Although the cross-sectional area and length of each rod-shaped support member 4, 5, 6, and 7 are made the same, it is possible to increase the mechanical strength of the plate-shaped member 8 or to change the length of both sets of support members 2 and 3 as necessary. The cross-sectional area and length of the supporting members 5 and 7 located on the lower surface may be larger than those of the supporting members 4 and 6 located on the upper surface. Also, both sets of supporting members 2 and 3
The interval between the plate members 8 and 8 was adjusted to the thickness of the pillars 10.
The mechanical strength of the support may be increased, or the gap may be made larger than the thickness of the supporting support as necessary.
In addition, the plate member 8, both sets of support members 2 and 3, and the support column 1
Only the thick rods 9, 9' were used to fix the support members 2, 3 to the adjacent support members 4, 6; 5, 7, respectively, but in order to increase the mechanical strength of the fixation, If necessary, use thick rods 9, 9' and adhesive together,
It may be tightened with bolts and nuts, or the above methods may be used in combination as appropriate. Particularly when the gap between the supporting members 2 and 3 is made wider than the thickness of the supporting column used, tightening bolts and nuts is effective.
Further, although the combination member 1 is assembled so as to be located approximately in the center of the plate-like member 8, it may be located not in the center but on either side depending on the purpose of use.
Further, although the support column 10 has a regular cross-sectional shape, it is not limited to this cross-sectional shape as long as it can be firmly fixed to both sets of supporting members 2 and 3 and a rotation mechanism can be attached thereto. Further, in order to enable rotation of the plate member 8, a support 10 is provided.
Although the bearing 11 is attached to the lower end of the support column 11 to fix it to the base 12, if the plate member 8 can be made rotatable, the support column 10 may be fixed by a rotation mechanism other than the bearing 11. . Further, although the plate-like member 8 is a single flat plate, it may be an assembly of narrow flat plates arranged orthogonal to the supporting members 2 and 3.

Since the present invention has the above configuration, it has the following effects.

(1) Since the construction method is simple, processing costs are low, contributing to lower equipment costs.

(2) Despite its simple construction method, it has high mechanical strength, making it possible to provide relatively inexpensive and robust equipment.

(3) Despite its simple construction method, it has high mechanical strength, making it possible to easily and relatively inexpensively manufacture devices with a large surface area of plate-like members, devices that can hold heavy objects, etc., which were previously difficult to manufacture. .

(4) Despite its simple construction method, it has high mechanical strength and has an extremely wide range of applications.
