Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a foldable shelf that is most suitable for use as a shelf for displaying products, and a support that constitutes the shelf.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, shelves for displaying products have already been made to be able to display products, and a shelf that can be assembled and used in a folded state has not yet been developed.

Furthermore, in the past, the supports constituting the shelves were also fixed, so a foldable support has not yet been developed.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, when transporting items that have already been completed as shelves and cannot be folded, they must be transported as they are, so it is not possible to transport many shelves at once. Transportation is inconvenient.

Furthermore, when storing the product, it cannot be folded and must be stored as is, so a large storage area is required.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a new foldable shelf and its support that are convenient for transportation and do not require a large storage area.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the structure of the foldable support according to the present invention is made up of a hollow main support and sub-supports disposed orthogonally to both ends of the main support. , guide pipes are inserted and fixed on both sides of the main column, and support rods are inserted into each guide pipe so as to be movable in the axial direction, and between the rear end of each support rod and the back of each guide pipe. A spring is interposed to bias the support rods inward, a hinge bracket is provided at the tip of each support rod, and the hinge bracket is protruded from the outside of the sub-post.
The present invention is characterized in that each of the hinge brackets is rotatably connected.

In addition, the structure of the foldable shelf according to the present invention includes two hollow main columns (upper and lower), two sub-pillars (upper and lower) arranged orthogonally to both ends of each main column, and a space between the upper and lower sub-pillars. a frame coupled to;
It consists of a shelf support installed vertically between the upper and lower main columns, with guide pipes inserted and fixed on both sides of the main column, and a support rod that can be moved axially inside each guide pipe. A spring is interposed between the rear end of each support rod and the back of each guide pipe, and a hinge bracket is provided at the tip of each support rod. Furthermore, a hinge bracket is made to protrude from the outside of each sub-pillar, and the hinge bracket is rotatably connected.

[Function] Since the hinge bracket provided at the tip of the support rod and the hinge bracket protruding to the outside of the sub-post are rotatably connected, the sub-post can be pulled outward and rotated. By doing so, the sub-pillar can be folded.

Further, by incorporating the above-mentioned rotatable support into a shelf and using it, the shelf can also be folded.

[Example] The present invention will be described below based on the illustrated example.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show a foldable support column according to an embodiment of the present invention, which consists of a hollow main column 1 and sub-pillars arranged perpendicularly to both ends of the main column 1. It is composed of 2. Guide pipes 3 are inserted and fixed into both sides of the hollow main column 1, and support rods 4 are inserted into each guide pipe 3 so as to be movable in the axial direction.
The rear end portion 4a of each support rod 4 and each guide pipe 3
A spring 5 is interposed between the backs of the support rods 4, and each support rod 4 is urged inward by the spring 5.

A hinge bracket 6 is provided at the tip 4b of each of the support rods 4, and each of the sub-pillars 2
A protruding hinge bracket 7 is provided on the outside of each of the hinge brackets 7, and each hinge bracket 7 is fitted into each of the main pillars 1 and is rotatable with each of the hinge brackets 6 via a shaft 8. is combined with

In addition, each guide pipe 3 has a slit groove 3.
a is provided, and a stopper 9 is provided in the slit groove 3a.
are fitted to guide the movement of the support rod 4 in the axial direction.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which the hinge bracket 7 is pulled out and protruded, and is rotated and folded using the shaft 8 as a fulcrum, and FIG.
4D to 4D show detailed steps for folding the hinge bracket 7.

FIG. 4A shows a state in which the hinge bracket 7 is inserted into the main support 1, and FIG. 4B shows a state in which the sub-support 2 is pulled outward. Figure 4C shows the state in which the sub-pillar 2 is rotated, and Figure 4D shows the state in which the sub-pillar 2 is rotated.
This figure shows the rotated and folded state.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the foldable column according to the present invention, in which the main column 1 and the sub-column 2 are each formed from a rectangular shape. Since the other configurations are the same as those shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the same reference numerals are given and detailed explanations will be omitted.

FIG. 6 shows a foldable shelf according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is constructed by incorporating the above-mentioned foldable supports.

This consists of two upper and lower hollow main columns 1, 1, two upper and lower sub-pillars 2, 2 arranged orthogonally to both ends of each main column 1, 1, and a connection between the upper and lower sub-pillars. A shelf board 10 is installed vertically between the frame bodies 14, 14 and the upper and lower main columns 1, 1.
Consisting of 10 supporting supports 11, 11,
Products can be displayed on the shelf boards 10, 10. The sub-support 2 and the frame 14 constitute rectangular frames 13, 13, and casters 12 are provided at the lower ends of each of the frames 13, 13, making them movable.

The sub-pillars 2, 2 are constructed of rotatable columns as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the case of a shelf in which a rotatable support is incorporated, the shelf boards 10, 10 are removed, and the frame 13, 13 can be folded.

[Effect of the idea] According to the present invention, there are the following effects.

1 Sub columns are placed at both ends of the main column,
The axially movable support rod in the main column and the sub-pillar are rotatably connected via a hinge bracket, and the guide pipe in the main column fixes the spring and guides the support rod, so it resists the spring. When the hinge bracket is pulled out and rotated, each sub-post will rotate and fold.

2. As described above, the supports are configured to be foldable, and the shelves are constructed by incorporating the supports, so the shelves themselves can be folded.

3. Therefore, since the shelf can be transported and stored in a folded state, it is convenient to transport and has the advantage that it does not require a large space for storage.
