Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sheet glass transporting tool, and more particularly to a sheet glass transporting tool in which a plurality of glass sheets are placed in an upright position and arranged in a thickness direction.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When glass sheets having different sizes are mounted together on a glass sheet transporting tool, as shown in FIG. 10, a large glass sheet 1, a medium glass sheet 3, and a small glass sheet 5 are arranged in order of size. Lay them on top of each other and fix them by placing a band on the base of the glass transporting tool.

[0003]

For example, general sheet glass used for windows and doors of houses is rarely manufactured individually in a required size, and is required to be manufactured from original sheet glass manufactured in a certain size. It is often provided cut out in various dimensions. In this case, in order to minimize waste of the original glass, the required number of pieces of the same size are rarely cut out at once, but rather, pieces of different sizes are often cut out in random order. Therefore,
It is virtually impossible to mount the cut sheet glass on the sheet glass transporting tool without interruption in the order of size. This has caused the processing of the cut sheet glass to be very inefficient. In addition, when the components are mounted ignoring the order of the sizes, it is difficult to take out the components in a uniform size, and thus the work efficiency at the processing site of the sheet glass is deteriorated.

[0004] Further, since the paired glass is hollow, even if the paired glass is stacked in the order of size, the edge of the small glass is pressed locally against the large glass due to vibration during transportation. If moved, the large sized sheet glass may be easily broken.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the mounting order and size of the glass sheets can be freely selected, so that the mounted glass sheets do not touch each other. Another object of the present invention is to provide a sheet glass transporting tool that is easy to handle.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A flat glass transporting tool 7 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The sheet glass transporting tool 7 includes a frame 9 made of a mold steel material, a base portion 11, a large number of round bar-shaped partition bars 13, a fall prevention member 15, and the like. The frame 9 has a rectangular lower frame 17 and an upper frame 19 which are long in the front-rear direction, and a corner post 21 which connects each corner of the lower frame 17 and the upper frame 19 up and down.
The lower frame 17 and the upper frame 19 are formed of an intermediate column 23 which is formed by vertically connecting the intermediate portions of the left and right side portions 17a and 19a. Therefore, the outer shape of the frame 9 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape.

Reference numeral 27 denotes a foot of the frame 9, and the foot 27 projects downward from four corners of the lower frame 17.
Are reinforced by being sequentially connected by a band-shaped bottom plate 29. Therefore, the flat space 3 is located below the lower frame 17.
1 is formed. Reference numeral 33 denotes a hook fixed to the upper surface of the corner portion of the upper frame 19. The hook 33 is used to hang a hanging wire or the like when loading and unloading the sheet glass transporting tool 7 on a vehicle or a ship.

Reference numeral 35 denotes a bottom rail of the base portion 11, which is made of U-shaped steel (see FIG. 5) and is provided in a laterally extending orientation extending in the left-right direction. Nine bottom rails 35 are arranged at equal intervals in the front-rear direction, the bottom rails 35 at the front and rear ends are separately fixed to the upper surfaces of both front and rear sides of the lower frame 17, and the other seven bottom rails 35 are lower frames. 17 are provided on the upper surfaces of the left and right side portions 17a in a bridging manner. 37
Denotes a base plate. The base plate 37 has a flat plate shape having substantially the same size as the outer shape of the lower frame 17, and is fixed to the upper surface of the bottom rail 35.

Reference numeral 39 denotes a circular lower insertion hole. The lower insertion hole 39 is for inserting one end of the partition bar 13, is formed through the base plate 37 and the bottom rail 35 in an area corresponding to the bottom rail 35, respectively, and has a constant width in the left-right direction. Many are arranged at a pitch.

Reference numeral 41 denotes a bottom partition plate.
Is fixed to the upper surface of the base plate 37. The bottom partition plate 41 has a length slightly shorter than the arrangement interval of the lower insertion holes 39 in the front-rear direction, and the shape viewed from the longitudinal direction is formed by an inverted trapezoidal bottom and left and right sides. The bottom partition plate 41 is disposed between the two adjacent front and rear lower insertion holes 39 in a long direction in the front-rear direction, and the bottom portion 43 is fixed to the base plate 37 by rivets. Accordingly, the bottom partition plates 41 are arranged straight at eight constant intervals in the front-rear direction,
Eight bottom partition plates 4 arranged straight in the front-rear direction
1 forms one glass placement groove 45, and
Many such glass arrangement grooves 45 are formed in the left-right direction. In this embodiment, 25 glass arrangement grooves 45 are formed, but this number may be arbitrarily determined according to the size of the frame 9 and the size of the plate glass 25 to be mounted.

Reference numeral 47 denotes a roller arrangement hole. The roller arrangement hole 47 has a substantially square shape, and is formed so as to penetrate the bottom part 43 of the bottom partition plate 41 and the base plate 37 in the thickness direction. The position where the roller arrangement hole 47 is provided is a position corresponding to a substantially middle portion between the middle and both ends in the longitudinal direction of the bottom partition plate 41. Bottom partition plate 41
A small through-hole (not shown) is formed at a lower end portion of the side wall corresponding to the roller arrangement hole 47, and a roller support shaft 49 is inserted through a row of through-holes arranged in the left-right direction. A roller 51 having rubber elasticity is rotatably supported at a portion of the roller support shaft 49 corresponding to the roller arrangement hole 47. The portion above the axis of the roller 51 projects above the bottom surface of the bottom partition plate 41.

Reference numeral 53 denotes an upper cross, and the upper cross 53 is a lower cross 3
It is made of the same U-shaped steel as that of No. 5 (see FIG. 7). The upper crosspiece 53 is provided in a sideways posture at a position corresponding to each of all the bottom crosspieces 35, and both ends thereof are fixed to left and right side portions 19 a of the upper frame 19. Upper piece 5 of the upper cross 53
5, a circular attachment / detachment hole 59 is formed at a position coaxial with the lower insertion hole 39. In the lower piece 57 of the upper crosspiece 53, an upper insertion hole 61 having a long oval shape in the front-rear direction is formed at a position coaxial with the lower insertion hole 39, respectively. The width of the upper insertion hole 61 is the same as the inner diameter of the lower insertion hole 39, and the length is about 1.5 times the width.

The partition bar 13 is formed by coating a metal pipe with vinyl chloride, and has an appropriate bending elasticity in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction. One end of the partition bar 13 is inserted into the lower insertion hole 39 and the other end is inserted in the upper insertion hole 61 so as to be provided in a substantially upright posture. The insertion and removal of the partition bar 13 is performed through the attachment / detachment hole 59, and the partition bar 13 is placed on the lower piece of the bottom bar 35. In this state, the partition bar 1
The upper end of 3 is located slightly below the upper piece 55 of the upper cross 53.
Therefore, the posture of the partition bar 13 is such that the upper end thereof is in the upper insertion hole 6.
1 comes into contact with any one of the front and rear ends of the inner peripheral edge. In other words, the partition bar 13 is in a slightly inclined posture before and after.

As described above, since the partition bar 13 is provided in a posture inclined forward or backward, the upper end of the partition bar 13 is slightly displaced from the upper insertion hole 61, and the partition bar 1
3 can be prevented from accidentally falling out. Therefore, even when the sheet glass transporting tool 7 vibrates up and down greatly during transportation, the partition bar 13 does not fall out of the lower insertion hole 39, so that it is not necessary to fix the partition bar 13 to the frame 9, and therefore the partition bar 13 is not required. The attachment and detachment of the rod 13 can be easily performed at any time.

When the partition bar 13 is provided, the space above each glass arrangement groove 45 is partitioned into spaces on both left and right sides. The individual spaces thus partitioned become glass mounting spaces 63. A pair of upper and lower lower insertion holes 39 and upper insertion holes 61 is 16 in the front-rear row, but the partition bar 13 does not necessarily need to be provided in all of the 16 holes. Divider 13
Is the number of plate glasses 25 mounted in the glass mounting space 63.
May be arbitrarily determined according to the size of the object. For example, FIG.
FIG. 2 shows an example in which only five partition bars 13 are provided at equal intervals in the front and rear directions.

The fall prevention member 15 is shaped like a prism having a length substantially equal to the left and right width of the frame 9, and a relatively thick rubber sheet 65 is attached to one side surface thereof. , Each of which has a hook 67 fixed thereto.
Denotes a bracket supporting the fall prevention member 15. The bracket 69 has a substantially rectangular plate shape that is long in the vertical direction, and is provided so as to vertically protrude from the front side surface of the front corner post 21 and the rear side surface of the rear corner post 21. The bracket 69 has a notch 7 in the corner near the corner post 21 at the upper end edge.
1 is formed, and furthermore, an engagement hole 73 that is long in the up-down direction is formed in the center thereof.

The fall prevention member 15 is rotatably supported by the bracket 69 by one end of the hook 33 being slidably inserted through the engagement hole 73 of the bracket 69. When the other end of the hook 67 is engaged with the notch 71 of the bracket 69 as shown by a solid line in FIG. 5, the fall prevention member 15 is held at the closed position. In this state, the front and rear ends of the lower end of the glass mounting space 63 are closed by the drop prevention member 15, and the sheet 65 faces inward. Further, from this state, the fall prevention member 15 is lifted and the other end of the hook 67 is raised from the notch 71, and then the fall prevention member 15 is tilted forward as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. When moved to the position, the closed state with respect to the glass mounting space 63 is released.

Next, a method of using the sheet glass transporting device 7 configured as described above will be described. The procedure for mounting the sheet glass on the sheet glass transport tool is not particularly limited,
Basically, the cut glass sheets 25 are sequentially
What is necessary is just to mount in the arbitrary glass mounting space 63. In this case, taking into account work procedures at the processing site at the destination,
The same size may be combined, or the size may be alternately changed so that the load is not biased. Therefore, when mounting, it is desirable to adjust the arrangement interval of the partition bars in advance according to the size and number of the plate glass to be mounted, the mounting order, and the like. For example, the arrangement interval of the partition bars may be roughly adjusted where a large-sized plate glass is mounted, and the arrangement interval may be reduced finely where a relatively small-sized plate glass is mounted.

The loading and unloading of the sheet glass 25 is performed in a state in which one of the front and rear fall prevention members 15 is moved to the open position. The mounting is performed by placing one end of the plate glass on a roller while inserting it into the glass mounting space 63, and pressing the plate glass from that state. That is, the work for mounting the plate glass is almost a push operation, and there is almost no need to lift the plate glass. The same applies to the case where the mounted glass sheet is taken out. In this case, it is sufficient to pull out most of the glass sheet and then lift it.

The mounted glass sheet is kept in an upright posture by lightly contacting a large number of partitioning bars arranged on the left and right sides, and the lower side end portion fits between the left and right side walls of the bottom partitioning plate. The seating position is stably supported without swinging left and right. In addition, since it is supported in a buffered manner by being mounted on a large number of rubber rollers, there is no possibility that the lower edge is chipped. .

With respect to the small plate glass 25,
As shown in FIG. 9, two front and rear
It may be mounted. In this case, the number of the partition rods 13 may be slightly increased, and a buffer material 75 such as styrene foam may be interposed between the two glass sheets 25. When mounted in this manner, the utilization efficiency of the glass mounting space 63 is increased, and the mounted plate glass 25 is stabilized, and the load does not need to be biased in the front-rear direction. After all the plate glasses 25 to be mounted are mounted, the fall prevention member 15 is moved to the closed position. This reliably prevents the mounted plate glass 25 from slipping off the glass mounting space 63.

In order to load and unload the sheet glass transporting tool 7 on which the sheet glass 25 has been mounted on a transport vehicle or ship,
This is performed by a forklift using the space 31 below the frame 9 or a crane using the hook 33. When a plurality of sheet glass transporting tools 7 are stacked, the plate glass transporting tool 7 may be placed so that the bottom plate 29 of another sheet glass transporting tool 7 sits on the upper surface of the frame 9. When the sheet glass transporting tool 7 is to be moved by hand pressing or the like, a caster is attached to the back side of the lower frame 17.

As described above, the mounted plate glass 25
Is kept in an upright posture by lightly contacting a large number of partition bars 13 arranged on the left and right.
Since there is a slight gap between them, it is inevitable that they will shake to the left and right to some extent and hit the partition bar due to vibration during transportation. However, since only the both ends are supported, the partition bar 13 has a moderate flexibility in the lateral direction. Therefore, when the plate glass 25 hits the partition bar 13, the shock of the partition bar 13 is reduced. 13 is absorbed by bending. Although the partition bar 13 is bent, a portion where the mounted plate glass 25 hits the partition bar 13 is usually
Since the partition bar 13 is located at a position above the intermediate portion, the partition bar 13 does not bend significantly.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and there are changes in the design without departing from the gist of the present invention. Are also included in the present invention. For example, the partition rod 13 is formed by coating a metal pipe with vinyl chloride, but this coating material is not limited to vinyl chloride.
Any kind of material having elasticity may be used.

[0029]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the plate glass to be mounted is housed in a glass mounting space individually partitioned by a partition bar while being separated from other plate glass. Therefore, the order of mounting the glass sheets, the method of summing up the sizes, and the like are arbitrary for the user, and there is no restriction on the size of the supplied glass sheets, and the mounted glass sheets do not touch and break. And, even if the mounted plate glass swings in the thickness direction and hits the partition bar during transportation, the shock is applied to the plate bar because the shock is absorbed by the bending of the partition bar. Can be prevented.

Further, since a roller is arranged at the bottom of each glass mounting space, mounting is performed by placing one side end of the plate glass on the roller while inserting it into the glass mounting space, and pushing the plate glass from that state. . That is, the work for mounting the plate glass is almost a push operation, and there is almost no need to lift the plate glass. The same applies to the case where the mounted glass sheet is taken out. In this case, it is sufficient to pull out most of the glass sheet and then lift it. Then, the mounted plate glass is reliably prevented from sliding down from the glass mounting space by the fall prevention member.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the roller has elasticity, the sheet glass is supported in a cushioning manner also on the lower side thereof. Therefore, there is no fear that the lower edge is missing even when placing the plate glass on the roller, dragging the plate glass, or moving up and down during transportation.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the lower portion of the glass plate mounted in the glass mounting space is substantially exactly fitted in the glass arrangement groove of the bottom partition plate, so that the lower portion does not swing right and left. The state is very stable.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the upper end of the mounted partition bar does not change its position in the vertical direction unless the upper end thereof is coaxial with the mounting hole, it is not necessary to fix the partition bar to the frame. Therefore, it is possible to easily attach and detach the partition bar at any time.
