Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a temporary stopper for fixing furniture such as a cabinet having a shelf board so that the shelf board does not move within the furniture body when the furniture is carried.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 This kind of temporary fastener is generally locked in a plurality of locking slots formed on the inner surface of the furniture body at appropriate vertical intervals in order to lock the locking metal fittings for supporting the shelf board, and By contacting the upper surface of the shelf board with, the shelf board is held immovable upward. As an example, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-31138, which is a prior art, a temporary fastener is formed in a substantially C shape with a leaf spring, and the upper end of the temporary fastener is inserted into a locking groove hole of a furniture main body from below. An upward U-shaped upper engaging portion adapted to be fitted and engaged is bent and formed, and at a lower end thereof, a lower locking which is fitted in a gap between the inner side surface of the furniture main body and the outer side surface of the shelf board. There is disclosed a device in which a shelf plate is fixed downward by bending one piece and elastically deforming a temporary fixing tool so as to be stretched in a vertical direction.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, this prior art has the advantage that it can be attached and detached in a one-touch manner simply by elastically deforming the temporary fastener in the vertical direction, but on the other hand, the temporary fastener is elastically stretched in the vertical direction. By placing it in this state, the upper locking part retains the state in which it is locked in the locking groove hole of the furniture body, so if the shelf plate vibrates vertically during transportation such as truck transportation, There was a danger that the temporary fasteners would fall off the furniture body due to the dance phenomenon in which the fasteners were elastically deformed irregularly.

That is, the lower locking portion of the temporary fastener is merely fitted from above in the gap between the inner surface of the furniture body and the outer surface of the shelf, while the vertical vibration of the shelf causes , The pressing force intermittently acts on the temporary stopper to narrow the space between the upper and lower ends of the temporary stopper, and the vertical vibration of the shelf does not match the elastic deformation of the temporary stopper. The dancing phenomenon occurred, and as a result, the temporary fasteners could fall out of the furniture itself.

An object of the present invention is to provide a temporary fastener which can be held irremovably from the furniture body without impairing the ease of attachment and detachment to the furniture body.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve this object, a temporary fastener according to the present invention is a fastener for abutting and fixing to the upper surface of a side edge portion of a shelf plate disposed in a furniture body, and the fastener is a flat surface. A pair of side plates facing each other toward the inner surface of the furniture main body in opposition to each other are provided, and the both side plates are connected at their bases so that the distance between the tips of the both side plates narrows against elasticity. At the tips of the both side plates, locking claws protruding outward are formed so as to fit in and engage with locking slots formed in the inner surface of the furniture body.

[0007]

[Operation and effect of the device]

 With this structure, the temporary fastener is pinched, for example, with the thumb and forefinger touching the outer surfaces of the both side plates, and in that state, the both side plates are pressed so that the distance between the locking claws at the tips of the both side plates is reduced. The temporary fixing tool can be attached to or removed from the inner surface of the furniture main body by a one-touch operation in which the locking claw is narrowed and deformed and both locking claws are inserted into and removed from the locking slot.

[0008] When the temporary fastener is attached to the furniture main body, both the locking claws on both side plates are engaged with the front and rear edges of the locking groove hole in the furniture body, so that the temporary fastener is The furniture is held along the inner surface of the furniture body so that it cannot be displaced either vertically or backwards and forwards, and the temporary fastener cannot be removed from the furniture body unless a person forcibly deforms the fastener body. Even if the shelf board vibrates in the middle, the temporary stopper will not fall off the furniture body.

That is, the temporary fastener is removed from the furniture main body by elastically deforming it with a pressing force directed in the horizontal direction, while the shelf plate only vibrates vertically during transportation. Since the vibration of the shelf does not act as a pressing force that narrows and deforms the temporary fastener, the temporary fastener engaged with the locking groove hole of the furniture body regardless of the vibration of the shelf. It is kept in a state.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to reliably keep the shelf plate in a vertically immovable state during transportation without impairing the ease of attaching and detaching the temporary fastener to the furniture body. Have.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a cabinet as an example of furniture will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 5 show the first embodiment. In these figures, reference numeral 1 denotes a cabinet body having an open front surface, and reference numeral 2 denotes a shelf plate arranged inside the cabinet body 1, respectively. A sliding door type door 3 is provided at the opening of the cabinet body 1.

Further, the left and right side plates 4 and 4 of the cabinet body 1 are formed in a hollow shape, and support metal fittings for the shelf plate 2 are provided at front and rear ends of the left and right inner side plates 4a and 4a (see FIG. A large number of rectangular locking groove holes 5 for detachably locking (not shown) are provided at appropriate intervals in the vertical direction, and further, on both left and right edges of the opening in the cabinet body 1. A column portion 6 having a rectangular cross-section that is wider than the side plate 4 in the left-right direction is formed, and the column portion 6 holds the shelf plate 2 so that it cannot be pulled out forward.

A bent portion 2a having a U-shaped cross section is formed on each of four edges of the shelf plate 2 for reinforcement, and the two shelf plates 2 and 2 are turned upside down. By stacking them on top of each other, the article mounting surfaces of the two shelves 2 and 2 are protected from being scratched, and these two shelves 2 and 2 are mounted on the main plate 7 of the cabinet body 1. ing. Reference numeral 8 denotes a synthetic resin temporary fixing tool arranged at the four corners of the upper shelf board 2 in order to fix the shelf board 2 so that it cannot move up and down. The temporary fixing tool 8 is a cabinet main body in plan view. Is formed in a U-shape in plan view by a pair of side plates 8a extending toward the inner side plate 4a of each side and a connecting portion 8b integrally connecting both side plates 8a at their bases. A hook-shaped locking claw in a plan view in which a temporary stopper 8 is fitted to and engages with a locking groove hole 5 in a state in which a temporary stopper 8 is in contact with an upper surface of a folded portion 2a of an upper shelf plate 2 at a lower end of a tip portion of 8a. 10 and 10 are formed so as to project outward, and both locking claws 10 and 10 are locked in a state in which both side plates 8a and 8a are narrowed and deformed so that the interval between their tips is narrowed. It is configured so that it can be inserted into and removed from the hole 5.

A guide surface 10a is formed on the outer surface of each of the locking claws 10 and 10 to guide the locking claws 10 and 10 into the locking groove hole 5 so that the distance between the locking claws 10 and 10 is narrowed. There is. Further, a top plate 11 is integrally connected between the upper ends of both side plates 8a, 8a of the temporary fastener 8, and the top end of the top plate 11 is provided with a locking groove hole 5 for the locking claw 10. An upward auxiliary locking portion 13 is formed so as to be fitted and engaged with the locking groove hole 5 located above.

In the above structure, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), first, each temporary stopper 8 is tilted in a side view, and the auxiliary locking portion 13 is first inserted into the locking groove hole 5. After insertion, as shown in (B), the temporary stopper 8 is pinched with fingers 14 and deformed so as to narrow the space between the left and right side plates 8a, 8a, and then the front and rear locking claws. 10 or 10 is inserted into the locking groove hole 5, or the auxiliary locking portion 13 is inserted into the locking groove hole 5, and then the temporary fixing tool 8 is pressed toward the inner surface of the furniture body 1. Then, the temporary stopper 8 is fixed to the furniture main body 2 by inserting the both side plates 8a, 8a into the locking groove 5 while elastically deforming the side plates 8a, 8a by the guide action of the inclined surfaces 10a of the both locking claws 10, 10. It is attached to the inner side plate 2a of the rack so that the shelf plate 2 can be held by the temporary stopper 8 so as not to move upward. It

In the state in which the temporary stopper 8 is attached to the inner surface of the cabinet body 1, both the front and rear locks are provided unless the temporary stopper 8 is grasped by the finger 14 and pressed in the front-back direction to forcefully contract and deform. Since the pawls 10 and 10 do not slip out of the locking groove hole 5, even if the shelf 2 vibrates during the transportation of the cabinet, the shelf 2 can be reliably fixed.

In the above description, the two shelves 2 and 2 are placed on the main plate 7 in a stacked manner. However, the shelves 2 and 2 are placed at mid-height positions between the left and right inner side surfaces of the cabinet body 1. When arranging the two, as shown in FIG. 5, a temporary supporting metal fitting 15 of a substantially U-shaped cross section that supports the shelf board 2 only during transportation is provided with a locking groove of an appropriate height. It suffices to engage the hole 5 and support the lower shelf plate 2 with the temporary stopper 15.

FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment showing a modified example of the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the connection of the temporary stoppers 8 formed in the same manner as in the first embodiment. A sandwiching piece 16 extending along the lower surface of the folded back portion 2a of the shelf plate 2 located above is formed at the lower end of the portion 8b, and a projection 19 is formed on the lower surfaces of both side plates 8a, 8a. In this case, the mouth portion of the bag 17 made of vinyl or the like containing the locking metal fittings for supporting each shelf 2 in the normal use state of the cabinet is squeezed, and the mouth portion of the bag 17 is clamped by the clamping piece 16 The bag 17 with the locking metal fittings is attached to the shelf plate 2 by sandwiching the bag 17 with the folded-back portion 2a of the shelf plate 2. By doing so, the bag 17 is made one by one with adhesive tape pieces. Since it is not necessary to fix it to the shelf board 2 or the like, there is an advantage that the labor of packing the cabinet can be reduced.

It should be noted that the folded-back portion 2a of the shelf plate 2 may be simply sandwiched between the side plates 8a, 8a and the sandwiching piece 16. FIG. 7 shows a third embodiment. In this embodiment, unlike the first and second embodiments, the auxiliary locking portion 13 is not formed, and the temporary stopper 8 is simply seen in a plan view. It is formed in a substantially U shape, and locking claws 10, 10 are formed at the tips of both side plates 8a, 8a, respectively, and further, a pressing piece 18 is formed on the lower surface of the connecting portion 8b, the tip of which is the rear side plates 8a, 8a. It is formed so as to be positioned slightly below the lower end surface of 8a by a dimension e, and the pressing piece 18 elastically presses and urges the shelf 2.

Since the pressing piece 18 can forcibly prevent upward movement of the shelf plate 2 formed in this way, it has an advantage that it is possible to reliably prevent rattling of the shelf plate 2 during transportation. .. Even if the auxiliary locking portion 13 is not provided and the locking claws 10 are simply formed on the both side plates 8a, 8a, the temporary locking device 8 does not have to be contracted and deformed. Since the pawls 10 and 10 cannot be removed from the locking groove 5, the temporary stopper 8 does not accidentally come off the cabinet body 1 due to vibration during transportation.

FIG. 8 shows a fourth embodiment which is another embodiment for preventing rattling of the shelf plate 2. Of these, FIG. 8A shows the front and rear side plates 8a, Protrusions 19 and 19 facing downward are formed on the lower surface of 8a, respectively, and with the protrusions 19 and 19 elastically deforming the folded-back portion 2a of the shelf 2, the locking claws 10 and 10 are formed. Is engaged with the locking slot 5.

Further, as shown in (B), the lower surface of the temporary stopper 8 is formed into an inclined surface having an appropriate angle θ such that the back surface of the temporary stopper 8 is located downward, and the lower surface of the stopper main body 9 serves as a shelf. The locking claws 10, 10 are engaged with the locking groove holes 5 in a state where the folded-back portion 2a of the plate 2 is elastically deformed. In both of the embodiments of FIGS. 7 to 8 described above, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 7A, the sandwiching piece 16 may be provided on the lower surface of the connecting portion 8b.

Although the above embodiment was applied to a cabinet, it is needless to say that the temporary fastener according to the present invention can be widely used for furniture including shelf boards in general, and the fastener main body has a flat section V. It may be formed in a letter shape.
