Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an improvement in a locking plate.

(Prior Art) Locking plates are already known. The locking plate consists of a plate and a locking tool, the plate is composed of a flat plate with a large number of holes, and the locking tool is configured so that a part of the locking tool can be fixed to any of the holes of the plate. and the remaining portion of the fastener is configured to carry or lock other items. Therefore, a hole at an appropriate position can be selected from among the many holes provided in the plate, and the locking tool can be fixed to this hole. The locking device fixed in this manner can be used to place or hang various articles. Therefore, the locking plate is used to store various items vertically.

As the fasteners, various structures were used. The simplest method is to bend a piece of wire and
One end is used as a part to be inserted into the plate hole, and the other end is used as a part to lock an article. In this case, the cross section of the hole in the plate was just large enough to pass the wire through. However, such a fastener generally tends to come off from the plate, and in order to prevent it from coming off, the insertion portion must be bent in a complicated manner. However,
If the insertion portion is bent in a complicated manner, in order to fix the insertion portion to the plate, the insertion portion must be faced to the hole and then the locking tool must be rotated in a complicated manner in accordance with the bending of the insertion portion. However, complicated rotation is not easy. Therefore, there was a need to develop a fastener that could be easily fixed to the board.

In order to meet this requirement, the part of the locking device facing the plate is made into a wide surface, and a protrusion is provided on this surface.
It has been proposed to make the protrusion insertable into the hole in the plate, provide a gap at the base of the protrusion to accommodate the edge of the hole, and provide a protruding so-called locking piece. However, when a locking piece is provided, unless the gap between the locking pieces is exactly equal to the thickness of the plate at the periphery of the hole, the locking tool will wobble on the plate, which is inconvenient in use. Moreover, it is not easy to make this gap exactly equal to the thickness of the plate, and even if it is made equal, the gap widens during use, resulting in wobbling. However, if the locking tool is fixed to the board by another means, it will be difficult to remove the locking tool from the board.
This is also inconvenient in use. Therefore, there was a demand for a locking tool that does not rattle and can be easily attached and detached.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) This invention was created in response to the above-mentioned demands. That is, the present invention aims to provide a locking tool that can be easily attached to and removed from a plate, and that, when attached to the plate, comes in close contact with the plate without wobbling.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention aims to achieve the above object by using the conventional structure of the plate as it is and improving the locking device. Simply put, this invention provides a locking piece on a locking tool, and inserts the periphery of the hole in the plate into a gap provided at the base of the locking piece, in order to facilitate attachment and detachment to the plate. We decided to follow the conventional method of fixing it to the board. Moreover,
This invention attempts to maintain stability in a locked state by providing a plurality of locking pieces on one locking tool. Further, in the present invention, a flexible piece is protruded from the middle of the locking piece in order to eliminate rattling in the locked state. By pressing the locking tool toward the plate, this flexible piece is contracted to facilitate the attachment and detachment of the locking tool, and when the pressing is stopped, it stretches to prevent the locking tool from rattling due to its elasticity. In this way, the purpose of easy attachment and detachment and prevention of rattling is achieved.

(Summary of the Invention) The present invention provides a locking plate consisting of a plate with a large number of holes and a locking tool that is fixed by locking into the hole. The base piece has a plurality of protrusions on the surface facing the plate, each protrusion can be inserted into a hole in the plate, a gap is provided at the base of each protrusion to accommodate the edge of the hole, and a gap The openings of the flexible pieces are oriented in the same direction, the flexible piece protrudes between the protrusions on the same side as the protrusions, and the protruding tip protrudes within the plane connecting the gaps or along the protrusion, and is elastically retracted. The present invention relates to a locking plate characterized in that it uses a locking device that is possibly fixed to a base piece.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing another mode of use of the locking plate according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, A is a plate and B is a locking device, and the locking plate according to the present invention includes a plate A and a locking device B.
It consists of Plate A is attached to workbench C. Specifically, columns D are erected on both sides of the front of the workbench C, and a plate A is inserted between the columns D and fixed. In this way, board A is placed on workbench C.
It is attached so that you can stand in front of it. Plate A has a number of holes E drilled therein. The locking tool B is provided with a locking piece on the side facing the plate A, and the locking piece can be inserted into any of the holes E. In this way, the locking tool B can be fixed at various positions on the plate A. Also, by removing the locking piece from the hole E, the locking tool B is separated from the plate A, and
It can be inserted into another hole E.

As shown in FIG. 2, the locking tool B is constructed by abutting a flexible piece 2 on the back side of a base piece 1, inserting a rod 3 into this, and tightening it with a nut 4. There is. To be more specific, the base piece 1 is made of a right-angled quadrilateral plate, and a protrusion 12 is provided at each point position of the base piece 1 to protrude across the back side, and a gap 13 is provided at the base of each protrusion 12.
, and four locking pieces are provided with the openings of the gaps 13 facing in the same direction. The four protrusions 12 are provided at positions exactly corresponding to the four adjacent holes E in the plate A. Moreover, each protrusion 12
can be inserted into any hole E in plate A, and the gap 13 has a width that can accommodate the edge of hole E in plate A. Since the plate A usually has a uniform thickness, the width of the gap 13 is equal to or slightly larger than the thickness of the plate A.

The base piece 1 is provided with three holes 14 therein.
The periphery of the hole 14 protrudes toward the back side, forming a ring-shaped projection 15. On the other hand, the flexible piece 2 consists of pieces 21 and 22 which are bent into a dogleg shape in cross section, the piece 21 is in close contact with the back surface of the base piece 1, and the piece 22 is made to protrude from the back side of the base piece 1. It will be done. The piece 21 has a hole 14
A hole 23 is drilled at a position corresponding to the hole 2.
3 is sized to just fit into the ring-shaped projection 15. In this way, when the flexible piece 2 is integrated with the base piece 1 by fitting the ring-shaped protrusion 15 into the hole 23, the rod 3 is inserted into the holes 14 and 23, and the nut 4
It is stopped and united.

The rod 3 has a screw 31 carved into one end, and a projecting portion 32 projecting to both sides in the middle. stick 3
The other end is hook-shaped. Corresponding to the protrusion 32 of the rod 3, the hole 14 of the base piece 1 has a fifth hole on the surface.
A depression 16 as shown in the figure is formed. Therefore, when inserting the rod 3 into the base piece 1, the protruding portion 32 of the rod 3 is inserted into the recess 16 of the base piece 1, and the rod 3 is inserted into the base piece 1.
This prevents the hook from rotating and also ensures that the hook is pointing in the correct direction. FIG. 2 shows a locking tool B in which a rod 3 is inserted into only the central hole among the three holes 14 provided in the base piece 1.

The locking tool B made in this way has a structure in which the hook of the alligator bar 3 protrudes from the front side, as shown in FIG. Furthermore, on the back side of the locking tool B, the tip of the piece 22 of the flexible piece 2 protrudes into a plane X in which four gaps 13 are connected, as shown in FIG. . The tip of the piece 22 is a plane X that connects the gap 13
The tip may protrude more than the tip.

The fastener B can be easily fixed at any position on the plate A. That is, the protrusions 12 of the locking tool B are each of a size that can be inserted into the holes E of the plate A, and are provided at intervals corresponding to the intervals of the holes E, so that as shown in FIG. , by holding the locking tool B with one hand and bringing it close to the plate A with the back surface of the locking tool B facing the plate A, the four protrusions 12 can be inserted into the respective adjacent holes E. At this time, with the gap 13 of the locking tool B facing downward and moving the locking tool B strongly toward the plate A while moving it downward, the flexible piece 22 has been retracted, so the plate The edge of the hole E of A can be easily inserted into the gap 13. After that, when the user releases his/her hand, the flexible piece 22 returns to its original position and stretches to push the plate A, so that the locking tool B is firmly fixed to the plate A without wobbling. Therefore, the fifth
As shown in the figures and FIG. 6, various tools can be hooked onto the rod 3 and stored in a state where the tools can be easily accessed.

The locking tool B locked in this way can be easily released from the plate A by moving it in the opposite direction to when it was fixed. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, hold the locking tool B with your fingers, move it upward while pressing it toward the plate A, remove the plate A from the gap 13 of the locking tool B, and then remove the locking tool B. By pulling toward you, the locking tool B can be easily removed from the plate A. After removing the locking tool B, the locking tool B is inserted into the other hole E.
can be moved and fixed in any position.

The stop B can be made of metal or plastic. Of the fastener B, the base piece 1 is preferably made of plastic, especially nylon, ABS resin, polycarbonate, or polypropylene, and the flexible piece 2 is preferably made of metal, polycarbonate, or polypropylene. In this way, the flexible piece 2 can be made of the same material as the base piece 1, but in this case, the thickness of the flexible piece 2 is reduced,
Additionally, the distance from the fulcrum to the tip is increased to provide flexibility. Preferably, the rod 3 and the stud 4 are made of metal.

In FIG. 5, three holes 1 provided in the locking tool B are shown.
Although an example is shown in which the rod 3 is passed through only the center hole among the three holes 14, the rod 3 may be passed through only the holes at both ends of the three holes 14. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the tool can be fixed by hanging it between the two rods 3.

In FIG. 1, a square hole is illustrated as the hole E of the plate A, but the plate A is not limited to this. As shown in FIG. 7, the plate A may have a large number of slit-shaped holes F arranged in parallel to each other. When using plate A shown in FIG. The two sets of positioned protrusions will be inserted into adjacent holes F.

In this case, it is convenient because the locking tool B can be moved freely left and right as it is.

In addition, since the hole F of the locking plate A in FIG. 7 extends widely from side to side, in order to prevent the strength from decreasing due to the hole, the section is not cut off to form the hole.
The section was bent backwards and left as a reinforcing piece with an L-shaped cross section.

(Effect of the invention) According to this invention, the base piece is provided with a plurality of protrusions on the surface facing the plate, and each protrusion can be inserted into the hole of the plate, so that by pressing the base piece toward the plate, A plurality of protrusions can be simultaneously inserted into a plurality of holes provided in the plate. In addition, each protrusion has a gap at its base that can accommodate the edge of the hole, and the openings of the gaps are oriented in the same direction. By moving the base piece to the plate, the edge of the hole can be inserted into each gap at the same time, and the base piece can be easily fixed so that it cannot be separated from the plate. Furthermore, a flexible piece is provided between the protrusions that protrudes on the same side as the protrusion, and the tip of the flexible piece is made to protrude in the plane connecting the gaps or beyond the plane, and the flexible piece is elastically retracted. As mentioned above, when locking, by pressing the locking tool toward the plate, the flexible piece can be compressed and locking can be easily performed, and when the locking tool stops pressing, the flexible piece can be easily locked. Since the flexible piece extends and elastically presses between the locking tool and the plate between the protrusions, the locking tool can be prevented from tilting and shaking between the locking tool and the plate. In this way, the locking tool can be easily fixed to the plate without rattling without any complicated operations. Conversely, to remove the locking tool from the board, you can easily remove the locking tool from the board by pressing the locking tool toward the board, moving it in the opposite direction to the front, and then pulling it apart. . Therefore, the locking tool can be attached to and removed from the plate with one simple operation, and there is a great advantage in that it is possible to eliminate rattling.
