Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a refugee under furniture from being thrown out by attaching an attachment member to the lower part of a top plate and an adjustment support movably and adjustably in an axial direction to the lower part of a column. SOLUTION: A flange-like attachment member 2 provided with plural attachment holes is provided on the upper part of the column 1 by the method of fixing or the like. To the lower part of the column 1, the adjustment support 3 composed of a flange part 3a and a screw bar 3b erected from the center part is attached height-adjustably in a vertical direction by screwing the screw bar 3b to a female screw part provided in the column 1. Thus the attachment member 2 is fixed to the lower surface of the top plate 4a of a table 4 or a desk, etc., by using attachment machine screws and bolts, the column 1 is suspended to the lower part of the top plate 4a, the adjustment support 3 is turned to either left or right direction, the height is adjusted and it is grounded. Then, attachment to the existing table 4 or desk is completed. When an earthquake occurs, at the time of escaping under the table 4 and clinging to the column 1, no fear of being thrown out is present.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention can be particularly effective in the case of an earthquake with a seismic intensity of 4 or more, in which an object in a room falls and furniture is collapsed.
The present invention relates to an earthquake grip bar and earthquake furniture to which the earthquake grip bar is attached.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When an earthquake is encountered in a room, first of all, it is necessary to evacuate to the bottom of a table or desk to see how it is, in order to ensure the safety of body and life. This is explained as a safety measure, and this is also practiced as a drill during evacuation drills assuming an earthquake.

[0003]

However, in the case of an earthquake having a seismic intensity such that it is necessary to actually evacuate under the table or desk, the evacuated table or desk itself may be turned over or moved. However, there is a problem that the body of a person who has evacuated under a table or desk is also thrown out from underneath.

Alternatively, in the case of a four-legged table or desk without a pillar in the center, when other furniture, ceiling beams, etc. fall due to the shaking of the earthquake, the top plate folds and evacuates downwards. There was also the problem of hitting those who did it directly.

An object of the present invention is to prevent a person who has evacuated under a table or desk from being thrown out from the place in the event of an earthquake, and to increase the strength of the table or desk. The purpose is to provide earthquake grips and earthquake furniture such as tables and desks to which these grips are attached.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a support column and a mounting member having a structure which is provided on an upper portion of the support column and is attached to a lower portion of a top plate of a table or a desk. , An adjustment support body attached to the lower part of the column so as to be movable and adjustable in the axial direction.

In this case, according to the present invention, the mounting member may be a flange portion formed on the upper portion of the column.
Further, the adjusting support can be attached to the lower part of the column by screwing the lower part of the column so as to be movable in the axial direction.

Further, according to the present invention, the earthquake grip bar is attached to the lower portion of the top plate to provide earthquake furniture.

At this time, the grip bar can be hung from the lower part of the top plate so that the tip of the grip bar does not come into contact with the ground.

[0010]

[Operation] A mounting member is fixed to a central portion of a table or a table top without legs by a mounting screw or the like to hang the supporting column from the table, and the adjusting support is moved up and down to be grounded on the floor. And in the event of an earthquake, the table or desk might turn over,
In addition to not moving in the unexpected direction,
Being under the table or desk and clinging to the pillar, you will not be thrown out from under the evacuated table or desk no matter how much you shake. In addition, if the lower end of the grip bar is grounded, it also reinforces the table or desk, especially the top plate, so even if other furniture, ceiling, beams, etc. fall onto it, It is possible to prevent the plate from being broken and destroyed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The drawings show an embodiment of the present invention. In FIGS. 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a column, which is made of a metal such as steel, stainless steel or aluminum, or a strong material such as synthetic resin. It has a pipe shape. Of course, the shape is not necessarily limited to the pipe shape, and various cross-sectional shapes such as a circle, an ellipse, a square, and other polygons may be considered, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiment. A flange-shaped mounting member 2 having a plurality of mounting holes 2a is provided on the upper portion of the column 1 by a method such as fixing, welding, or integral molding. The shape of the mounting member 2 is a disk shape in the embodiment, but various shapes such as an ellipse, a triangle, a square, and other polygons can be considered, and the shape is not limited to the embodiment.

At the lower part of the column 1, an adjusting support body 3 composed of a flange portion 3a and a screw rod 3b provided upright from the central portion of the flange portion 3a is provided with a female screw portion in which the screw rod 3b is provided on the column 1. It is mounted so that its height can be adjusted in the vertical direction by screwing it on to 1a.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the mounting member 2 is attached to the lower surface of the top plate 4a of a table, a desk or the like by a mounting screw 5.
By using a bolt or a bolt to hang the support column 1 below the top plate 4a and turning the adjustment support body 3 in either the left or right direction to adjust its height to the ground, the existing table or Installation on the desk is complete. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, when there is an earthquake, if you run under the table and cling to the pillar 1, you do not have to worry about being thrown out. In addition, even if other furniture, ceilings, beams, etc. fall, the top plate is vulnerable to the pressing force, and there is a column in the center, so it is possible to prevent the top plate from breaking. It can be prevented. The place where the pillar 1 is attached is that the top plate can cover the upper part of the table or desk, etc. and the person evacuated below it due to the shaking of the earthquake. The central part of the top plate is the most desirable because it is the weakest place, but it is optional to set it at a slightly offset position. If the table or desk is large, it may be installed in several places.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment. When the furniture 10 such as a table or a desk is low as described above, the length of the column 11 is shortened.

FIG. 5 shows still another embodiment. According to the drawing, the adjustment support is not attached to the tip (lower end) of the column 13 fixed to the lower part of the furniture 12 such as a table or a desk. Therefore, the lower end of the column 13 is floating on the floor without being grounded.

One object of the present invention is that even if it is carried out in this way, a person who has evacuated under the furniture 12 such as a table or a desk will not be thrown out by clinging to the pillar. Can be achieved.

[0017]

The present invention is configured as described above.
Persons who have evacuated under furniture such as a table or a desk with a gripping rod can be effectively prevented from being thrown out, improving safety, and the tip (lower end) of the gripping rod.
Since the structure in which the floor is grounded increases the strength of the furniture, it is possible to achieve an effect that the safety can be further improved.
