BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shelving device in which a horizontal bar is supported by a plate-shaped bracket which is detachably locked to a support, and various articles such as clothes are hung on the horizontal bar. The present invention relates to a shelf device in which left and right brackets support a shelf board and articles are placed on the shelf board.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a shelf device for display or the like, a plurality of columns are erected so as to be separated from each other on the right and left sides.
Attaching brackets to each column by inserting slot holes on the front surface of each column at appropriate vertical intervals and dropping hook-shaped locking claws projecting rearward at the rear end of the bracket into this slot, the left and right brackets It is well known that a horizontal bar is inserted into the mounting hole formed in the and the shelf plate is placed on the left and right brackets.

However, in the structure in which the horizontal bar is simply inserted into the mounting holes of the left and right brackets or the shelf plate is placed on the left and right brackets, between the bracket and the horizontal bar or the shelf plate, In addition, there is a problem that looseness occurs between the bracket and the support. Therefore, a means for eliminating rattling has been conventionally proposed. As an example thereof, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-9451 discloses a method as shown in FIG. 8 ((a) in FIG. 8 is a partial plan view, and (b) is (a)).
B-b view, (c) is a partially enlarged view of (a)),
In supporting the shelf plate 22 with the bracket 21, an upward bending piece 23 is formed at the tip of the bracket 21, and the left and right brackets 21 are bent into a flat V shape so that the interval between the tip portions thereof is narrowed. At the rear end of the column 21, a projecting piece 25 that comes into contact with the front surface of the support column 24 is bent outward, and further, at the location of each slot 26 on the inner surface of the support column 24, on the side opposite to the projecting piece 25, the bracket 21 is engaged. It is described that the projecting piece 28 that hits the side surface of the pawl 27 is formed.

In this prior art, after mounting both the left and right brackets 21 on the support column 24, the both brackets 21 are largely flexed and deformed outward as indicated by the chain double-dashed line and arrow B in (a). After placing the shelf plate 22 on both the left and right brackets 21 and placing the shelf plate 22 on the both brackets 21, the bending piece 23 should elastically hit the front surface of the shelf plate 22 by the elastic restoring force of the left and right brackets 21. become.

According to this conventional technique, it is possible to suppress backlash between the left and right brackets 21 and the shelf plate 22. However, in any shelving device, the width dimension of the slot 26 is set to be slightly larger than the thickness dimension of the locking claw 27 so that the bracket 21 can be attached to the column 24. On the other hand, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-9451, the locking claw 27 of the bracket 21 is set to be orthogonal to the front surface of the support column 24 in a plan view with the shelf plate 22 attached. Since the locking claws 27 of both brackets 21 are set so as to fit in the groove holes 26 in parallel, the locking claws 27 of the brackets 21 are set in the groove holes 26 as shown in an enlarged view in (c). Only one of the left and right inner side surfaces is in contact with the side surface. Therefore, when an external force is applied to the shelf plate 22 and the bracket 21, the bracket 21 is easily rotated in the left and right direction as indicated by an arrow A. , Shelf 22 and booth Rattling between the socket 21 and the post 24 could not be prevented.

In addition, as a second prior art, Jikkou Sho 57.
As shown in FIG. 9 of Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. -11573 ((a) of FIG. 9 is a partial perspective view, and (b) is a sectional view of an essential part),
When the steel wire netted shelves 29 are supported by the brackets 21, as shown by the alternate long and short dash lines in FIG.
1 is bent into a V shape in plan view so that the interval between the ends is narrowed, and the net-like shelves 2 are attached to the ends of the brackets 21.
While forming a locking piece 31 that abuts the outer surface of the wire rod 30 in 9, the braided shelf 29 is formed with a support portion 32 that abuts the outer surface of the bracket 21 near the base end, and the bracket 21 is indicated by the arrow C. It is described that the locking piece 31 of the net-like shelf 29 is locked to the bracket 21 by stretching and deforming as described above.

That is, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-11573, the net-like shelf 29 is held in close contact with the bracket 21 by utilizing the elastic restoring force of the bracket 21. However, this real public Sho 57-11573
In the case of the publication, the locking claw 27 of the bracket 21 has the support 2
Since it is orthogonal to the front surface of the bracket 4, the locking claw 27 of the bracket 21 is allowed to rotate horizontally as indicated by an arrow A in FIG. Even if you can suppress the rattling between the
The play between the bracket and the bracket 21 could not be prevented.

[0008] In addition, as a third prior art, Jikkou Sho 57.
In the -60382 publication, as shown in FIG.
Among them, (a) is a partial plan view, (b) is a plan view showing a mounting state, (c) is a partially enlarged view of (a)), and mounting holes formed at the tips of the left and right brackets 21 When the horizontal bar 34 is inserted into 33, the bracket 21 is bent into a V shape in a plan view as in both of the conventional examples, and the mounting hole 33 is inserted.
When the front end portion of the bracket 21 is placed in a posture orthogonal to the horizontal bar 34 as shown by the one-dot chain line in (a) and (b), the horizontal bar 34 becomes slidable in the mounting hole 33,
As shown by the solid lines in (a) and (b), the dimensions are set so that the horizontal bar 34 cannot slide with respect to the bracket 21 when the tip end portion of the bracket 21 is inclined with respect to the horizontal bar 34 in plan view. It is described to do.

In this conventional example, the left and right brackets 21 are fitted to predetermined positions of the horizontal bar 34 as shown by the dashed line in (b), and then the left and right brackets 21 are indicated in (b) by the arrow D. Push it to the state shown by the solid line to deform it,
In this state, both brackets 21 are attached to the column 24. However, even in this conventional example, the bracket 2
Since the locking claw 27 of the bracket 21 extends in a direction orthogonal to the front surface of the support column 24 in a state in which 1 is attached to the support column 24, the locking claw 27 is provided on one of the left and right inner side surfaces of the groove hole 26 in the support column 24. However, the rattling between the bracket 21 and the support column 24 cannot be prevented.

Further, in this prior art, since the bracket 21 and the horizontal bar 34 are fixed by utilizing friction, there is a problem that the fixing function between the bracket 21 and the horizontal bar 34 is weak. . Further, as a fourth conventional technique, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-6831 discloses that, as shown in FIG. 11, when a rectangular cylindrical lateral bar 34 is inserted into the rectangular mounting holes 33 formed in the left and right brackets 21, Similarly to each conventional example, the bracket 21 is bent in a V shape in plan view, and the locking projection 35 is projected at the location of the mounting hole 33 of the bracket 21, while the horizontal bar 34 is provided with the locking projection 35. In the state where the locking hole 36 that fits and is engaged with the locking projection 36 is fitted in the locking hole 36, the left and right brackets 21 are elastic so that the parts excluding the tips thereof extend in parallel. It is described that the bracket 21 is deformed and then the bracket 21 is attached to the column 24 in that state.

According to this prior art, since the locking projection 35 of the bracket 21 and the locking hole 36 of the horizontal bar 34 are fitted together, the bracket 21 and the horizontal bar 34 are securely held in a state in which they cannot be disengaged. However, since the locking claws 27 of the bracket 21 extend so as to be orthogonal to the front surface of the support column 24 in a plan view, the bracket 21 is similar to the three conventional examples.
It was impossible to prevent rattling between the horizontal bar 34 and the horizontal bar 34.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. It is possible to prevent rattling between the bracket and the horizontal bar or the shelf plate, and to prevent rattling between the column and the bracket. It is an object of the present invention to provide a shelf device capable of preventing sticking.

[0013]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention relates to a hanger type shelving device in which a horizontal bar is supported by left and right brackets. At the position where both brackets and the horizontal bar come into contact with each other, the left and right brackets are elastically resisted toward or away from each other so that the locking claws of the left and right brackets are inclined with respect to the front surface of the column in plan view. Then, in the deformed state, an engaging means is formed so as to hold the lateral bar in a non-sliding manner with respect to both the left and right brackets. "

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in a shelf type shelving device in which the left and right brackets support the shelf board, the left and right brackets contact the shelf board. The left and right brackets of the bracket are elastically deformed in a direction toward or away from each other so that the locking claws of the bracket are inclined with respect to the front surface of the column in a plan view. On the other hand, the engaging means is formed so as to be held so that it cannot be horizontally moved.

[0015]

With this structure, the horizontal bar or the shelf plate and the bracket are held by the engaging means so as not to be displaced while the horizontal bar or the shelf plate is supported by the left and right brackets. Since the state is held by the elastic restoring force of both the left and right brackets, the bracket and the horizontal bar or the shelf plate are held so that they cannot rattle.

When the left and right brackets are elastically deformed in a direction toward or away from each other, the locking claws of the left and right brackets abut on both left and right inner side surfaces of the slot in the column. And the state is held by the elastic restoring force of the bracket itself. In other words, the locking claws of both brackets are in a state of being stretched from the left and right sides on the left and right inner side surfaces of the slot in the support column by the elastic restoring force of the brackets themselves. It is held so as not to be horizontally rotatable in the slot, and it is possible to reliably prevent looseness between the left and right brackets and the support.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to reliably prevent the rattling between the bracket and the horizontal bar or the shelf, and
Since it is possible to surely prevent rattling between the column and the bracket, it is possible to significantly improve the utility value of the shelf device.
