Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a column of a gauge stand.

(Prior Art) FIG. 3 shows a conventional gauge stand 10. The first stand 16 made of steel is erected on the base 12 of the gauge stand 10, and the second stand 28 made of steel is also placed at an arbitrary position by tightening the fastener 24 on the first stand 16. It can be fixed to the posture. Attached items such as gauges (not shown)
Is fixed to a fixture 32 that is rotatable and slidable with respect to the second column 28, and by tightening the fixture 24, the mounted object can be set to an arbitrary spatial position. Each tip of the first and second columns 16 and 28 is formed into a protruding curved surface.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the above-mentioned conventional columns of the gauge stand have the following problems.

Both the first and second columns 16 and 28 are made of steel, and the tips of the columns are exposed. Therefore, for example, when a table (not shown) to which the gauge stand 10 is fixed is lifted, other upper objects may be damaged at the upper end of the first support column 16. Furthermore, the second support 28 has the same problem as the first support 16,
There is a problem that when the fastener 24 is loosened, the second support column 28 falls and damages other objects located below at the upper end or the lower end.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a support of a gauge stand capable of suppressing damage to other objects by the support.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration.

That is, in a pillar of a gauge stand for arbitrarily setting the posture and position of an object to be mounted such as a gauge to be attached, a cushioning material is provided on an end surface of the pillar.

(Operation) The operation will be described.

Since the cushioning material is arranged at the tip of the column, even if the tip of the column comes into contact with another object, the shock is absorbed by the cushioning material, so damage to the object can be suppressed.

(Embodiment) Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 3 shows a conventional gauge stand 10. The gauge stand according to the present invention is the third basic structure except for the columns.
Since it is the same as the one shown in the figure, the gauge stand is
It will be described with reference to the drawings. The column portion according to the present invention will be described in FIGS. 1 and 2 with the same member numbers as in FIG.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a base, which has a built-in magnet (not shown), and by rotating the switching knob 14, it is possible to select fixing or releasing the fixing of the base 12 to a base (not shown) made of a magnetic material. The base 12 does not have to be a magnet type,
The gauge stand 10 may be fixed by the weight of the base 12 itself.

Reference numeral 16 is a first column, and details of the first column according to the present invention are shown in FIG. The first support column 16 is made of steel in a columnar shape, and its surface is plated with chrome. A male screw portion 18 is formed at the lower end of the first support column 16 and is screwed into a female screw hole (not shown) formed in the upper surface of the base 12. A hole 20a is formed in the upper end surface of the first support column 16 in the axial direction. Resin (for example, ABS resin, rubber, nylon, etc.) in this hole 20a
The cushioning material 22a formed in 1 is press-fitted and fixed. The cushioning material 22a is provided so as to cover the upper end surface of the first support column 16. The fixing of the cushioning material 22a to the upper end surface of the first support column 16 is not limited to the press-fitting as described above, and other means such as screwing or bonding may be used. Further, the shape of the cushioning material 22a is not limited to the hemispherical mushroom shape shown in the figure, and the tip of the cushioning material 22a may be a flat surface or a convex surface.
It is only necessary to prevent the steel portion of the upper end surface of 6 from directly contacting another object.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 24 is a fastener, which is fitted onto the first support column 16 and is rotatable around the outer periphery of the first support column 16 and slidable in the longitudinal direction of the first support column 16. ing. By tightening the handle 26, the fastener 24 can be fixed to the first support column 16 at any height position and any rotation position.

In FIG. 3, 28 is a second support, and the details of the second support according to the present invention are shown in FIG. The second support column 28 is made of steel and has a circular shape, and the surface thereof is chrome-plated. Holes 20b and 20c are formed in the upper end surface and the lower end surface of the second support column 28 in the axial direction. The same cushioning materials 22b and 22c as the cushioning material 22a are press-fitted and fixed in the holes 20b and 20c.
Like the cushioning material 22a, the cushioning materials 22b and 22c are not limited to those shown in FIG. 2 in terms of material, mounting means to the second support column 28, shape and the like. These cushioning materials 22b and 22c are also second
The steel portion of the upper end surface or the lower end surface of the column 28 is prevented from directly contacting with another object. The second support column 28 is slidably inserted in the tightening body 30 of the tightening tool 24. Further, since the tightening body 30 is rotatable with respect to the fastener 24 when the handle 26 is loosened, the second support column 28 is rotatable with respect to the first support column 16. Therefore, tightening the handle 26
The position and posture of the second support column 28 with respect to the support column 16 are fixed. Note that the tightening structure of the tightening tool 24 is a known structure, and therefore its explanation is omitted.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 32 is a fitting, which is fitted onto the second support column 28 so as to be rotatable and slidable. By tightening the handle 34, the position of the fixture 32 on the second column 28 is fixed. An object to be attached (not shown) such as a gauge is attached to the attachment 32.

After attaching a gauge or the like to the attachment 32 of the gauge stand 10 configured as described above, the handle 26 of the fastener 24 is loosened, and the position, posture, etc. of the second support 28 are changed to spatially adjust the gauge or the like. After the positioning, the handle 26 can be tightened to fix the gauge or the like at the space position. At that time, even if the upper end of the first support column 16 comes into contact with another member (not shown), the cushioning material
Even if the upper end or the lower end of the second support column 28 abuts on another object, the cushioning material 22b or 22c absorbs the cushioning, so that the gauge stand 10 and other objects can be prevented from being damaged. Further, as a secondary effect, when the outer peripheral surfaces of the first and second support columns 16 and 28 are plated, the first
In addition, plating is performed by gripping a part of the second support columns 16 and 28 and performing plating, and then plating the part that is not plated in the next step. Since it is possible to apply plating by hanging an appropriate suspending tool on the holes 20a, 20b, 20c of the second support columns 16, 28, it is possible to perform plating in one step.

Although various preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and may be used for all columns of a gauge stand having three or more columns, for example. It is needless to say that more modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention such as possible.

(Effect of the Invention) When the support of the gauge stand according to the present invention is used, even when the end surface of the support made of a hard material comes into contact with another object when mounting or positioning an object to be mounted such as a gauge. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to suppress damage to other objects that have come into contact with each other.
