Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application This invention relates to a stand for a flower pot, particularly a retractable stand for a flower pot having a stepped shelf.

Conventional technology Most of the conventional flower pot stands are fixed type, so they can be used when the installation space is narrow, such as on the balcony of a housing complex, or when the number of flower pots to be placed is increased or decreased depending on the season. In such cases, it is necessary to prepare flowerpot stands of different sizes depending on the installation space and the number of flowerpots to be placed, which is very inconvenient. Furthermore, fixed flower pot stands are bulky and require a large space for transportation and storage.

Conventionally, a pair of left and right support members are arranged to face each other, and a pair of shelf members are attached to both support members so as to extend substantially horizontally. A retractable shelf for holding items such as flower pots has been proposed in which the shelf members are slidable and the two shelf members are connected to each other with fixing bolts at required positions (for example, Jekkosho (See Publication No. 56-39384).

Problems to be Solved by the Invention This conventional article storage shelf has several rods arranged in parallel at predetermined intervals, through which an intermediate body having the same number of through holes is slidably inserted. Two sets of shelf members of the same configuration, each consisting of a base fixed to a base, are arranged such that both bases are located at both ends and the rods are staggered from each other, and each intermediate member is attached to the other rod. By fixing it to the end, a shelf body whose overall length can be adjusted freely is formed, and this shelf body is mounted and mounted on a support member, but this requires a very large number of parts. The structure was also relatively complex, and there was a problem that it was not easy to manufacture.

In addition, the two sets of shelf members are arranged so that these rods are staggered with each other, and each intermediate body is fixed to the end of the other rod. The shelves that are constructed with these are flat, and therefore, conventional shelves for placing items are very ordinary.For example, it is not possible to place flower pots of different sizes in a well-arranged manner at different heights, and the shelf structure is flat. There were problems in that it was both physically inconvenient and lacked decorative effects.

The purpose of this invention is to solve the above problem and to provide a stepped shelf consisting of shelf members arranged at different heights on the upper and lower sides, so that flowerpots of different sizes can be arranged at different heights, and therefore very easily. It can be placed neatly, is functionally convenient, has an excellent decorative effect, has a simple structure, has a small number of parts, and can be manufactured easily and inexpensively.
The purpose is to provide a flexible stand for flower pots.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, this invention includes a pair of left and right support members arranged oppositely, and a pair of support members each attached to both support members so as to extend substantially horizontally. and a shelf member, in which one shelf member is slidable relative to the other shelf member, and both shelf members are coupled to each other at a required position with a fixing bolt. In the extensible flowerpot stand, a pair of shelf members each having a rectangular frame that is long in the left and right direction are arranged vertically at different heights, and hanging members are substantially suspended from the front and back sides of the tip of the upper shelf member. Short fitting guide members with a U-shaped cross section and opening inward are attached horizontally to the lower ends of these hanging members, and these fitting guide members are attached to the front and rear of the lower shelf member. The gist of the present invention is a retractable stand for a flowerpot, characterized in that a shelf with different levels is formed by slidably fitting both side frame members together.

Function According to the above-mentioned flower pot stand, since it is equipped with a shelf made of shelf members arranged at different heights on the upper and lower sides, flower pots of different sizes can be arranged at different heights, and therefore, it is very aesthetically pleasing. It can be placed, is functionally convenient, and has an excellent decorative effect. Moreover, since only the front and rear frame members of the lower shelf member are fitted into the fitting guide members and slid, the sliding mechanism is very simple. In addition, the upper and lower shelf members each have a lattice attached within a rectangular frame, and these can be made separately. Since the front and rear frame members of the lower shelf member are simply fitted together in a slidable manner, the structure is very simple, the number of parts is small, and the flowerpot stand is easy to manufacture.

Embodiment Next, an embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

In this specification, front, rear, left and right refer to the first

In the drawing, a flowerpot stand 1 according to this invention is shown.
are a pair of left and right supporting members 2 arranged oppositely,
3, and two sets of upper and lower shelf members 4 and 5 attached to both supporting members 2 and 3 so as to extend substantially horizontally inward and at different heights from each other. It is equipped with Both support members 2 and 3 are made by bending square iron pipes with a rectangular cross section into curved shapes, and have different heights.

The upper and lower shelf members 4 and 5 that make up each of the different shelves A have rectangular frames 6 and 7 made of square iron pipes with a square cross section, respectively, and a large number of lattices 8 and 8 that are fixed in parallel in the frames 6 and 7. It is made by.

In each stepped shelf A, hanging members 9, 9 made of a pair of front and rear square iron pipes are attached to the tip of the upper shelf member 4.
are attached in a substantially hanging manner, and short fitting guide members 10, 10 having an inwardly open U-shaped cross section are attached to the lower ends of these hanging members 9, 9 in a substantially horizontal manner. Front and rear frame members 7a and 7b of the lower shelf member 5 are slidably fitted and supported by the guide members 10 and 10, respectively.

A female threaded portion 11 is provided on the lower wall of each fitting guide member 10 by burring processing, and the tip of a fixing bolt 12 screwed into this female threaded portion 11 from below extends to a required portion of the lower surface of the side frame members 7a, 7b. The side frame members 7a, 7b are firmly connected to the fitting guide members 10, 10 by being pressed into contact with the fitting guide members 10, 10.

Each shelf member 4, 5 is horizontally attached to a pair of left and right support members 2, 3 by a connecting bolt 13. That is, nuts (not shown) are embedded in the ends of the front and rear side frame members 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b of each shelf member 4, 5 on the supporting member 2, 3 side, respectively.
The tips of connecting bolts 13 that penetrate each of the support members 2 and 3 from the outside are screwed into these nuts, and the upper and lower shelf members 4 and 5 are horizontally connected to the support members 2 and 3. .

When using the above flowerpot stand 1, the uneven shelf A
is composed of shelf members 4 and 5 arranged at different heights on the upper and lower sides, so as shown in Fig. 1,
Different flower pots 14 can be arranged in different heights and placed in a very attractive manner, which is functionally convenient and has an excellent decorative effect.
