Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide sufficient resistance against a big shake by providing suspension members, which are interposed between furniture or the like and the ceiling of a house, more than two while having a certain distance from the front to the back concerning respective left and right sides, and connecting the front and rear suspension members by a connecting member. SOLUTION: Between furniture 9 or the like and the ceiling T of the house, front and rear suspension members 1 more than two are fitted respectively on the left and right sides (therefore totally for the minimum unit of four members). The front and rear suspension members 1 and 1 are connected obliquely, for example, by a connecting member 2 such as a steel bar, belt, rope or brace with turn buckle. The connecting member 2 is extended from the upper end of the rear suspension member 1 to the lower end of the front suspension member 1 and at both the terminals, these suspension members 1 and 1 are connected. As a result, the forward movement of the lower end of the suspension member 1 is suppressed and it seems that one resistant wall is formed by both the front and rear suspension members 1 and the connecting member 2.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fall prevention device for furniture or the like which prevents the furniture or the like from falling over in the event of an earthquake.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a method of fixing furniture or the like to a wall or interposing a projecting member between the furniture and the ceiling of a house in order to prevent the furniture or the like from falling over in the event of an earthquake. However, in some cases, these conventional methods are insufficient in terms of proof strength against a large shaking of a large earthquake.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above problems of the prior art and to provide a fall prevention device for furniture or the like which has sufficient strength.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is provided between the furniture and the ceiling of the house, and two or more right and left protrusions are provided with a front and rear distance for each left and right. The present invention proposes a fall prevention device for furniture or the like, which is composed of a material and a connecting material that connects front and rear projecting materials.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A fall prevention device for furniture according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. 1 and 2 show a fall prevention device for furniture or the like according to the present invention. The fall prevention device for furniture or the like has a projecting member (1) interposed between furniture (9) and a house ceiling T. The projecting member (1) extends vertically by, for example, turning and is projectingly attached between a top plate of furniture (9) and a house ceiling T. That is, the load is transmitted between the top plate of the furniture (9) and the ceiling T of the house to transmit the load and prevent the furniture (9) from falling and rotating. Two or more front and rear protruding members (1) are attached to each of the left and right sides (therefore, a total of four units is the minimum unit). Front and rear bracing materials (1) (1) are steel rods, belts, ropes, braces with turnbuckles (similar to brace on walls such as houses)
Connections (2) are connected (obliquely connected in the illustrated embodiment). For example, the connecting member (2) shown in FIG. 2 is exemplified by a belt or rope made of nylon or the like, and extends from the upper end of the rear protruding member (1) to the lower end of the front protruding member (1). It is connected to (1).
In the case of the above fall prevention device for furniture or the like, the vertical movement of the furniture (9) is prevented when the earthquake etc., because the supporting member (1) itself is four or more and holds the top plate of the furniture (9). It
Next, even if the furniture (9) tries to fall over and rotate, the overturning and the like is accompanied by the compression of the overhanging member (1), and the overhanging member (1) itself bears a load to prevent the overturning and the like.

Further, not only the back-and-forth movement of the furniture (9) due to shaking but also the fall and rotation of the furniture (9) includes a component of force for pushing the lower end of the protruding member (1) forward to shift the lower end of the protruding member (1). Tries to move forward with furniture (9). However, since the connecting member (2) connects the lower end of the front protruding member (1) to the upper end of the rear protruding member (1), the force is transmitted to the house ceiling T at the upper end of the rear protruding member (1). The power is borne by the house ceiling T. That is, the forward movement of the lower end of the projecting member (1) is suppressed, and the front and rear projecting members (1) and the connecting member (2) form a bearing wall. Next, FIG. 3 shows another connecting member of the overturning prevention device for furniture or the like of the present invention. The connecting member (3) is a main body (3a) and an attachment portion (at the side end of the main body (3a) ( 3b). In the illustrated embodiment, the main body (3a) is plate-shaped, but it is also possible to use X-shaped, lattice-shaped or the like, or plastic, metal, metal-embedded plastic, glass fiber or the like as the material. Further, in the illustrated embodiment, the mounting portion (3b) is ring-shaped and the pillar of the protruding member (1) is inserted therein, but a hook-like shape for grasping the protruding member (1) or the like is also possible. FIG.
Shows another fall prevention device for furniture or the like of the present invention, and the connecting member (4) of the fall prevention device for furniture or the like also serves as the bottom plates of the front and rear projecting members (1) (1). That is, the connecting member (4) connects the front and rear projecting members (1) and (1) at the bottom plate and the wall portion continuously rising from the bottom plate. Further, when the distance between the top plate of the furniture (9) and the house ceiling T is long, an additional connecting member (3) (similar to FIG. 3) for connecting the upper portions of the projecting members (1) and (1) is used. You may connect with.

[0007]

The embodiments of the fall prevention device for furniture according to the present invention are as described above, and the effects thereof are listed below. (1) Since the falling prevention device for furniture or the like according to the present invention is provided with two or more projecting members on the front and rear for each of the left and right sides, they bear a large vertical force as pillars, and do not move up and down or turn over the furniture. To be prevented. (2) In the fall prevention device for furniture according to the present invention, two or more projecting members are provided on each of the left and right sides with a front and back distance, and the projecting members and the connecting members are connected to each other by connecting the connecting members to each other. It will be in a formed state, and it will have sufficient strength to withstand the large shaking of a large earthquake.
