Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an edge coating device for a top plate of a desk, a bookshelf, a cabinet, etc.

Conventionally, covering strips have been attached to the edges of these top plates with adhesive, but this is cumbersome to manufacture, requires skill to achieve a beautiful finish, and is not safe for study desks, etc. It was difficult to finish the corners into curved surfaces from above.

This invention solves these conventional problems and makes it possible to easily form rounded corners on the top plate, improving safety, and creating a top plate with beautiful corners that are easy to assemble and manufacture. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an edge coating device, and the feature of the present invention is that grooves are formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the top plate along two adjacent sides. Covering the side portions of the top plate with a side cover member having locking protrusions that are inserted into the top plate and projecting from the top and bottom of the inner surface, and near the intersection of the grooves exposed at the corners of the top plate. A protrusion that fits and latches into the
A corner with a rounded outer surface that protrudes from at least one of the upper and lower sides of the inner surface, and also serves to cover the edge of the side cover member from the outside and prevent the side cover member from being pulled out in the longitudinal direction. The present invention is characterized in that the cap is attached to the corner portion in a covering manner.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on the illustrated embodiments.

In Fig. 1, a study desk and a bookshelf are integrated, and a tall bookshelf 1 is installed on the left, and a top plate 3 with sleeves 2 on only one side is placed on the other side of the bookshelf 1. A desk 4 is formed by being connected and supported by the bookshelf 1 at a medium height position, and the edges extend across the top plate 3 of the bookshelf 1 and the front side, right side, and rear side of each of the top plate 3 of the desk 4. An edge coating device 6 is provided.

In addition, in Fig. 2, a cabinet or a telephone stand is illustrated,
An edge coating device 6 is attached along the periphery of the top plate 3.

Therefore, this edge covering device 6 includes one side cover member 7...
and a corner cap 8..., specifically a third corner cap.
As shown in the figures to FIG. 6, grooves 11 and 11 are formed on the upper surface 9 and lower surface 10 along the sides 13 of the top plate 3. Engagement protrusions 12, 12 are provided that fit into the grooves 11, 11 from above and below in a latching manner, and as shown by arrow A in FIG. Push the cover member 7 into the upper and lower latching protrusions 1
Insert and lock the 2°12.

In this way, each side portion 13' is covered as shown in FIG. 4.

The side cover member 7 has a rounded U-shape or arch-shape in cross section, and latching protrusions 12, 12 are protruded from both the upper and lower sides in an opposing manner.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the side cover members 7 are attached to the sides 13, the length of the sides 13 of the top plate 3 is adjusted to expose the corners 5. The length dimension of the side cover member 7 is set to be shorter than the length dimension.

Therefore, the groove ill exposed at the corner 5 of the top plate 3
, 11, a protrusion 1 that fits and engages in the vicinity of the intersection W of 11.
4.14 are provided to protrude above and below the inner surface of the corner cap 8 to cover the above-mentioned exposed corner portion 5.

The shape of the protrusion 14 is T-shaped as shown in FIG. 7 or L-shaped as shown in FIG. Prevents rattling from side to side and separation.

Further, the corner cap 8 is integrally formed of plastic, has a rounded outer surface, and has a depth dimension approximately equal to the wall thickness dimension of the side cover member 7 at the end edges 15, 15 of the corner cap 8. A recess 16.16 is formed, and as shown in FIG.
6, and the end edge 15 of the corner cap 8 eventually covers the end edge 7a of the side cover member 7 and also serves to prevent the side cover member 7 from being pulled out in the longitudinal direction. The side cover member 7 is securely held without wobbling.

Arrow B in FIG. 4 indicates the direction in which the corner cap 8 covers the exposed corner 5. The height of the protrusion 14.14 is adjusted by utilizing the elastic deformation of the relatively thin plastic cap 8. The opening is enlarged and pushed into the groove 11 up to the intersection W of the groove 11.

FIG. 6 shows the state after fitting.

Next, as shown in FIG. 9, the protrusion 14 is provided only on one of the upper and lower sides of the inner surface of the corner cap 8, and the protrusion 14 is omitted on the other side, and a waist screw is inserted through the hole 17 instead. It is also free to insert it into the corner 5 of the top plate 3 and screw it onto the corner 5 of the top plate 3.

This is preferable because the protrusion 14 and groove 11 can be easily fitted into each other.

Note that the side cover member 7 can be omitted on the side part 13 of one top plate 3 that is not visible to the human eye, and the corner cap 8 can be omitted.
can also be omitted, so the minimum number of corner caps 8 is 1
It is also possible that there are only one.

In addition, as in the illustrated embodiment, the corner cap 8 also serves as a stopper for the side cover member 7 to be pulled out in the longitudinal direction, so that screws and the like for fixing the side cover member 7 can be omitted, making assembly work more efficient. , an improvement in aesthetic appearance was achieved.

The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and can be widely applied to desks, bookshelves, cabinets, telephone stands, and other various types of furniture. Both the cover member 7 and the corner cap 8 could be easily and quickly attached without requiring any skill, and the sides 13 and corners 5 of the top plate 3 could be finished extremely beautifully.

Furthermore, if the corners 5 are chamfered into a flat shape and covered with the corner caps 8, a rounded outer surface shape can be obtained, which is very preferable from a safety point of view for furniture that children use or approach, such as study desks.

Furthermore, grooves 11.1 on the upper surface 9 and lower surface 10 of the top plate 3
1 engages the upper and lower retaining protrusions 12 and 12 of the side cover member 7, so that the middle part of the side cover member 7 curves outward and separates from the top plate 3. No deformation occurs.

That is, even if the side cover member 7 itself has a small cross-sectional area, it can be integrally and firmly attached to the top plate 3.
