Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a connector for combination furniture, and particularly to a connector for connecting combination furniture in vertical and horizontal directions.

Various types of connectors are known for combining and connecting furniture, such as bookshelves, in a certain direction, but combination furniture whose main component is a box-shaped storage body is connected vertically and horizontally. A simple connecting member for this purpose has not yet been provided.

However, large joints are generally used as vertical joints for stacked furniture, but this is mainly for the purpose of fixing the stacking position and preventing the furniture placed on it from sliding horizontally. It's just a matter of doing.

The present invention aims to provide a furniture connector that can connect furniture in a stacked or combined manner vertically and horizontally, that is, if necessary, can combine and connect furniture in three dimensions.

The present invention will be described below with reference to drawings showing embodiments thereof.

The proposed connector consists of connecting plate members A-C shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and a connecting rod member shown in FIG. 4.

First, to explain the connecting plate member, as shown in FIG. There are 3 protrusions on the inside
, 3.

Cuts 4 are provided at the bases of the projecting pieces 3, 3.

The circular holes 2 have a required diameter, and are approximately the same as the connecting rod members provided at the four corners of the lower surface of the combination furniture or the connecting holes provided at the four corners of the upper surface.

As shown in FIG. 2, the connecting plate member B of the present invention has circular holes 2a similar to those described above and protrusions 3a in both ends and corners of a substantially L-shaped plate body 1a similar to that described above.・・・・・・
Also, notches 4a... are provided.

As shown in FIG. 3, the connecting plate member C according to the present invention has circular holes 2b similar to those described above and protrusions at each corner of a rectangular plate-like body 1b having a top 5 in the center. 3b...
・It is formed by forming notches 4b and so on.

As shown in Fig. 4, the connecting rod members are screwed and protrude through holes 6a, 6a at the four corners of the lower surface of the furniture, and are made of a cylindrical body made of wood, metal, or synthetic resin. The shaft core has a screw hole 6 for mounting furniture overlappingly.

As described above, the diameter of this cylindrical body is approximately the same as the diameter of the circular holes 2, 2a, and 2b.

The proposed connector is used to connect furniture as shown in FIG.

For example, the connecting plate member A is used when two pieces of furniture 7 and 8 are joined by butting their sides together, as shown in FIGS. When joining the back parts of each piece of furniture against each other, a bridge is provided between the pieces of furniture along the direction in which each piece of furniture is connected.

Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 5, the connecting plate member B is used to interconnect three pieces of furniture: furniture 7, 8 joined with their sides butted together, and furniture 8, 9 joined with their backs butted together. .

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5C, the connecting plate member C is used to connect the four pieces of furniture 7, 8 and 9, 10, which are joined by butting their sides together, at the four corners between the pieces of furniture. Used in the central part where they meet.

These connecting plate members A-C have circular holes 2° 2a, 2b in the connecting holes 13 formed at the four corners of the upper surface of each of the furnitures 7 to 10.
are aligned, and the upper furniture to be suspended from above is connected by aligning the connecting rod member with the connecting hole and placing it there.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, when the furniture 11, 12 is vertically installed above the furniture 7, 8 described with reference to FIG. ,3
is pressed by the connecting rod member and bent into the connecting hole 13, and acts as a wedge between the connecting rod member and the connecting hole 13.

Further, since the end portion of the connecting plate member A surrounds the connecting rod member, it can resist the tensile force in the longitudinal direction of the connecting plate member A.

Incidentally, screws 14 and 14 are inserted and screwed into the connecting rod members from the inside of the furniture 7 and 8, respectively, to tightly connect them.

Therefore, combination furniture can be closely connected vertically and horizontally.

According to the present invention described above, it is possible to obtain a connecting tool that allows furniture combinations to be closely connected vertically and horizontally,
Moreover, it has an extremely simple structure, is easy to manufacture, can be provided at low cost, and is easy to handle when used.
