Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a partition plate holder for temporarily holding a partition plate used for drawers, shelves, etc. on the inner surface of a side plate such as a drawer when packing and transporting cabinets, desks with sleeves, etc. More specifically, the present invention relates to a partition plate holder having excellent operability in attachment and detachment.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For drawers and shelves of cabinets, desks with sleeves, etc., partition plates that partition the inside are used by being locked in the locking grooves. However, when packing and transporting cabinets, sleeved desks, etc., they may be turned upside down, so the partition plates cannot be locked in the locking grooves such as drawers. Therefore, conventionally, a method has been widely adopted in which a wing nut is tightened to a bolt penetrating the side wall and the partition plate from the back side surface of the side plate such as a drawer to hold the partition plate on the inner surface of the side plate such as the drawer.

On the other hand, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-107631, a long hole is formed in a side plate and a partition plate such as a drawer, and the partition plate is attached to the inner surface of the side plate by a clip fitted in the long hole. Have been proposed. This clip has a neck that can be rotated within the slot between a head that has a shape that roughly fits the slot and a collar that is large enough to cover the slot. The head is prevented from coming off from the long hole when it is inserted through and rotated about 90 °, and the side plate such as the drawer and the partition plate are clamped between the head and the collar.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 When the partition plate is held on the inner surface of the side plate such as the drawer by using the bolt and wing nut, the cost of parts increases and the operation of the wing nut becomes complicated. Since the operation to prevent rotation is also required, the work of attaching and detaching the partition plate becomes complicated. In addition, it is not applicable if the back side of the side plate such as the drawer is covered with an outer plate, etc. Furthermore, if the space on the back side of the side plate such as the drawer is narrow, it will be difficult to prevent the bolt from rotating. .

On the other hand, the above-described conventional clip can eliminate some of the drawbacks of the bolt and the wing nut, but has a difficulty in operability because it requires insertion and removal of the clip and rotation operation. Furthermore, since a large knob is required to rotate the clip, the shape becomes complicated and the size becomes large, and the manufacturing cost such as resin molding is disadvantageously increased.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a partition plate holder that can be easily attached and detached and can be manufactured at low cost.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 to 3 show a first embodiment of the present invention. First of all, referring to FIG. 1, a drawer 1 made of steel used for a file cabinet or the like has a rectangular storage part defined by a bottom plate 2 and left and right and front and rear side plates 3 to 6, and a front side plate 5 is a front part. It forms the back cover of the latch mechanism incorporated in the face plate 7. The partition plate 8 for partitioning the storage portion of the drawer 1 is formed near the front and rear ends of the bottom plate 2 and is formed on the upper portion of the rear side plate 6 and the convex portion 8a that engages with the slit grooves 2a arranged in the left-right direction. It has a convex portion 8b that engages with the slit groove 6a, and by engaging these convex portions 8a, 8b with the slit grooves 2a, 6a, the partition plate 8 can be erected in the storage portion of the drawer 1. Has become.

When the partition plate 8 is attached to the slit grooves 2a and 6a of the drawer 1 when the file cabinet or the like containing the drawer 1 is packed and transported, the partition plate 8 is slit by the vibration during transportation. There is a risk that it will come off from 2a and 6a. Further, when the cabinet storing the drawer 1 is stacked upside down during transportation, the partition plate 8 comes out of the slit grooves 2a and 6a. Therefore, the partition plate 8 needs to be held on the inner side surface of one of the side walls 3 to 6. Therefore, for this purpose, holes 4a and 8a are formed through the side plate 4 and the partition plate 8 of the drawer 1, and the partition plate holder 10 that engages with these holes 4a and 8a is used.

As shown in FIG. 2, the partition plate holder 10 includes a substantially V-shaped or U-shaped elastic clip body including two arm portions 11 and 12 having one ends connected to each other. Protrusions 11a and 12a, which are brought into contact with the periphery of the hole 4a on the rear side surface of the side plate 4 of the drawer 1, are formed on the outer portions of the arms 11 and 12 of the clip body near the above-mentioned one end. Collar portions 11b and 12b for pressing the partition plate 8 toward the protrusions 11a and 12a are further formed on the outer sides of the arm portions 11 and 12 so as to project at positions spaced from the protrusions 11a and 12a. This clip body is made of an elastic synthetic resin, and the protrusions 11a and 12a of both arm portions 11 and 12 are formed in the side plate 4 and the partition plate 8 of the drawer 1 when the distance between both arm portions 11 and 12 is narrowed with fingers. It becomes possible to pass through 4a and 8a. In this embodiment, the outer surfaces from the tips of the protrusions 11a and 12a to the ends of the arm portions 11 and 12 have a substantially V-shaped contour, so that the clip body can be easily inserted into the holes 8a and 4a. be able to.

When the partition plate holder 10 having the above-described configuration is used, the other end side of both arm portions 11 and 12 of the clip main body is sandwiched by fingers, and the distance between both arm portions 11 and 12 is narrowed. , 12 are inserted from the inside of the drawer 1 into the hole 8a of the partition plate 8 and the hole 4a of the side plate 4 which are stacked on the inner surface of the side plate 4. Then, when the projections 11a, 12a near one end of both arm portions 11, 12 pass through the hole 4a of the side plate 4, remove the fingers from both arm portions 11, 12 to restore both arm portions 11, 12 to the expanded state. . At this time, since the protrusions 11a and 12a of both arm portions 11 and 12 come into contact with the back side surface of the side plate 4 and the flange portions 11b and 12b come into contact with the inner side surface of the partition plate 8, the partition plate 8 is the partition plate holder. It is held on the inner surface of the side plate 4 via 10. In this way, since the clip body can be easily engaged and disengaged and inserted and removed with a simple operation, the workability of temporarily holding the partition plate 8 is improved, and at the same time, it is small in size, simple in structure, and inexpensive to manufacture. Become.

In the example of FIG. 2, three partition plates 8 are stacked on the inner side surface of the side plate 4 and sandwiched between the protrusions 11a and 12a and the flange portions 11b and 12b. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the distance between the protrusions 11a, 12a and the roots of the collars 11b, 12b in this embodiment is approximately equal to the total thickness of the side plate 4 and the three partition plates 8. Therefore, the number of partition plates 3 that can be held is limited to three, but the collar portions 11b and 12b of this embodiment are located on the protrusions 11a and 12a side from the root portion toward the tip, as can be easily understood from FIG. The collar portions 11b and 12b are inclined and formed relatively thin so that the collar portions 11b and 12b can be flexibly deformed with respect to the arm portions 11 and 12. Therefore, even if the number of partition plates 8 is two, it is possible to sandwich the partition plate 8 together with the side plate 4 between the tip portions of the collar portions 11b and 12b and the protrusions 11a and 12a.

Further, since bulging portions 11c and 12c which bulge in the expanding direction of both arm portions 11 and 12 are formed at the other ends of both arm portions 11 and 12, the bulging portions 11c and 12 are formed. Both arms 11 and 12 can be easily operated by placing a finger on c.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the holes 4a and 8a are round holes, but they may be rectangular holes having a horizontal width corresponding to the horizontal width of both abs 11 and 12.

4 and 5 show a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, since the collar portions 11b and 12b are formed to be relatively thick and do not undergo the bending deformation as in the first embodiment, only when the partition plate 8 has the specified number (two in the illustrated example), the protrusions are formed. The partition plate 8 can be sandwiched between the side plates 4 and 11a, 12a and the collar portions 11b, 12b. The other structure is similar to that of the first embodiment.

6 and 7 show a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the partition plate holder 10 is provided with a substantially V-shaped or U-shaped elastic clip body consisting of two arm portions 11 and 12 connected at one end to each other. As in the first embodiment, projections 11a and 12a are formed on the outer side of the portions 11 and 12 near the one end, which are brought into contact with the periphery of the hole 4a on the back side of the side plate 4 of the drawer 1. The protrusions 11a and 12a of the arm portions 11 and 12 can pass through the holes 4a and 8a of the side plate 4 and the partition plate 8 when the distance between the arm portions 11 and 12 is narrowed with a finger. However, in this embodiment, the abutment wall 11d that abuts the inner surface of the partition plate 8 only on the outer side of one arm 11 is directed toward the other arm 12 from a position spaced a predetermined distance from the protrusion 11a. A protruding guide is formed on the contact wall 11d so as to slidably hold the other arm portion 12 on the wall surface of the contact wall 11d and regulate the expanded position of the other arm portion 12. A part 11e is provided. The other structure is similar to that of the first embodiment.

When the partition plate holder 10 of the third embodiment is used, the other end side of both arm portions 11 and 12 of the clip body is pinched with fingers to reduce the distance between both arm portions 11 and 12. Since the other arm portion 12 is guided along the wall surface of the contact wall 11d by the regulation guide portion 11e of the contact wall 11d that is provided so as to project from the arm portion 11, both arm portions 11, 12 are not in the expansion / contraction direction. It can be prevented from being greatly distorted in the direction of. Therefore, the operability of both arm portions 11 and 12 is improved. Similar to the first embodiment, one end sides of both arm portions 11 and 12 are inserted from the inside of the drawer 1 into the hole 8a of the partition plate 8 and the hole 4a of the side plate 4 which are stacked on the inner side surface of the side plate 4, and When the protrusions 11a and 12a near one end of the arm portions 11 and 12 pass through the hole 4a of the side plate 4, the fingers are released from the arm portions 11 and 12 to restore the arm portions 11 and 12 to the expanded state. At this time, the projections 11a and 12a of both arm portions 11 and 12 come into contact with the back side surface of the side plate 4, and the contact wall 11d of one arm portion 11 comes into contact with the inner surface of the partition plate 8. 8 is held on the inner side surface of the side plate 4 via a partition plate holder 10. In this way, since the clip main body can be easily engaged and disengaged and inserted and removed with a simple operation, the workability of temporarily holding the partition plate 8 is improved, and at the same time, it can be manufactured at a small size and a simple structure at low cost. .

As shown in FIG. 7A, the regulation guide portion 11e can regulate the expanded position of the other arm portion 12. Since the clip body is made of a material having a high spring property, when the arm portion 12 is detached from the regulation guide portion 11e, the arm portion 12 greatly expands as shown in FIG. By forming the clip body with a material having a high spring property in this way, the retaining property of the partition plate can be enhanced. However, the arm portion 12 is engaged with the regulation guide portion 11e to regulate its expanded position. This makes it easy to handle or operate the clip body.

As shown in FIG. 6, the clip body of the third embodiment can be molded in a state where the arm portion 12 does not overlap the abutment wall 11e, which facilitates molding. On the other hand, when the arm portion 12 is used, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the arm portion 12 is overlapped with the contact wall 11e, so that the holes 4a and 8a have at least a width corresponding to the total width of the arm portions 11 and 12. Must have

Although the illustrated embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. For example, the shapes of the protrusion of the arm portion, the collar portion, the contact wall, the regulation guide portion, the bulge portion, and the like can be changed. Further, holes for holding the partition plate, that is, holes for inserting the partition plate holder may be formed in the other side plates 3, 5, 6 and the like. Further, the present invention can be applied to not only the partition plate of the drawer but also the partition plate provided on the fixed shelf of the steel bookcase.
