Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a device for attaching panels to furniture and the like.

Conventionally, in order to install a wide panel between a pair of left and right columns in a screen or partition, etc., a locking claw is inserted between the left and right end surfaces of the panel and the side surface of the column. If it is formed into a single plate, it cannot be attached to a post that has been fixed in advance using the above method, and the post and panel must be fitted together in advance before being assembled into a partition, etc. by fixing the post. This results in poor assembly efficiency.
There was also a problem in that positioning of the pillars was troublesome.

In addition, as a connecting device when a panel is composed of a plurality of plates, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 49-92337 discloses a device in which the upper and lower edges of the stacked panels and the upper and lower ends of the support are connected in a U-shaped cross section. A structure in which the support is integrally held by the frame is disclosed, but in this invention as well, the support and the panel are assembled in a predetermined state in advance, and then the frame is fitted from both the upper and lower ends. This method is the same as the conventional method in that it is not possible to assemble the panel to a post that has been erected in advance.

The object of the present invention is to enable panels to be easily and firmly attached to pillars that have been erected in advance.

For this reason, in the present invention, a locking body is provided on the opposing side surfaces of a pair of left and right columns that have been erected in advance, and that protrudes in the direction of the opposing columns, and a pair of front and rear panels are installed between the left and right columns. The locking body is disposed so as to be sandwiched from the front and back directions at the left and right edge portions of both panels, and only the top and bottom edges of both panels are sandwiched at the top and bottom edges of both panels. A clamping member having a U-shaped cross section is fitted, and a soft elastic material such as foamed polyurethane is inserted between the two panels.

With this configuration, both the front and back panels, which are formed separately, are held in a single plate shape by the clamping members, and both panels are attached to the column via the locking body protruding from the side surface of the column. Especially, and in its installed state,
By inserting an elastic body between both panels, both panels are held as a single plate without wobbling.

Since the panel is composed of two panels, the front and the back, and the clamping member only needs to be fitted onto both panels, it can be easily attached to a post that has been erected in advance.

Next, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a screen will be described. In the figure, 1 is a screen in which a panel 5 is attached between a pair of left and right hollow pillars 2 supported by legs 4. Both branch offices 2 are fixed by passing a cross beam 3 between their lower ends, and are erected with the left and right positions determined in advance, and a cross beam 3 is also installed between their upper ends.

The panel 5 has a front side and a back side molded separately, and both the front and back panels 5, 5 are each formed with a core material 7.
It has a structure in which a decorative board 6 is stretched over the panel 5, and an inclined abutment surface 8 is formed on the back side of both left and right ends of each panel 5.

Reference numeral 9.9 denotes a locking body having a trapezoidal cross section that protrudes from the opposing sides of the two branch offices 2, and the locking body 9 has a flat surface so that both front and rear surfaces of the locking body 9 are in close contact with the contact surfaces 8 of the two panels 5. By forming the retaining protrusion 10 provided at the base end of the retaining protrusion 10 into the engagement hole 11 formed in the column 2 at vertical intervals, it can be attached to and detached from the column 2. I have to.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a soft elastic body such as a foamed polyurethane plate inserted between the two panels 5, 5.

Reference numeral 13.13 denotes a clamping member having a U-shaped cross section in which only the upper and lower edges of both panels 5 are disposed, and the upper and lower edges of both panels 5 are integrally fitted into the opening groove 14 of the clamping member 13. This fixes both panels 5 and the elastic body 12 into a single plate.

At least one protrusion 15 is provided on the upper surface of the upper clamping member 13 and the lower surface of the lower clamping member 13, respectively.
The protrusions 15 are fitted into holes 16 provided on the lower and upper surfaces of the upper and lower cross beams 3, so that each clamping member 13 can be fixed in position relative to each cross beam 3.

Note that the cross beams 3 connecting the two branch offices 2 are connected by a connecting device 17 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

To explain this based on both figures, a pair of connecting members 18, 18, such as a U-shaped cross section, are provided at the left and right ends of the cross beam 3, and each connecting member is extended in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cross beam 3. 18, the base is fixed by welding to the cross beam 3, and both connecting members 1
8 and 18 are inserted into the hollow part of the support column 2.

One connecting member 18 is connected to the other connecting member 18.
A bolt 19 that moves back and forth toward the inner surface (opposing surface) of the column is screwed into the female threaded portion 20, while
A through hole 21 is drilled at the same height position as 9, and this through hole 21
The structure is such that a tool such as a screwdriver is exposed to the head of the bolt 19.

Further, at a lower position etc., one or both of the connecting members 1
Positioning protrusions 23 and 23 that are engaged with the engagement hole 22 provided at 8 or the lower end surface of the connecting member 18 are made to protrude inward.

As a result, the connecting members 18 provided at both left and right ends of the cross beam 3
When the bolt 19 is pushed forward by inserting the screwdriver into the opening of the support 2 and the through hole 21 of the support 2, the distance between the connecting members 18.18 will be expanded, and the distance between the connecting members 18.18 will be expanded. The inner wall surface of the support column 2 is pressed into contact with the inner wall surface of the support column 2 to connect the cross beam 3 and the support column 2.

Note that lids 24 made of synthetic resin are fitted to the left and right ends of the cross beam 3 to close the openings.

Moreover, FIGS. 6 and 7 are examples of adding columns 2 in the longitudinal direction using the connecting member 18.

That is, the bases of the pair of connecting members 18.18 are fixed within the ends of the upper strut 2 or the lower strut 2, the tips of the pair of connecting members 18.18 are inserted into the mating struts, and the bolts 1
All you have to do is connect them at point 9 so that they stick out.

With the above configuration, the pair of left and right columns 2, 2 are erected with a predetermined left and right interval, and the clamping member 1 is mounted on the upper surface of the lower cross beam 3.
3 is placed so that its clamping groove 14 opens upward, and then locking bodies 9, 9 are provided protruding from the opposing sides of both branches 2, 2, and these locking bodies 9, 9 are placed. The wide panels 5, 5 are placed back to back from the front and rear directions so as to be sandwiched between them, and the elastic body 12 is inserted between both panels 5.5. Groove 1
4, and then fit the upper clamping member 13 onto the upper edges of both panels 5, 5, thereby fixing both the front and back panels 5, 5 to both the left and right branches 2.2.

Then, by attaching the cross beam member 3 between the upper ends of both branches 2, 2, both columns 2, 2 will be connected at the upper part as well (
Of course, in the configuration of the present invention, the upper cross beam 13 may be omitted).

To disassemble it, just do the reverse procedure.

In this connected state, a soft elastic body 12 such as foamed polyurethane is inserted between both panels 5, 5 to press both panels 5, 5 in the front and back direction, so that only the upper and lower ends of both panels 5, 5 Even if the U-shaped clamping members 13, 13 are simply fitted, the panels 5, 5 can be firmly assembled without wobbling.

Note that the field of application of the present invention is of course not limited to the above-mentioned screen, and the mounting of panels such as blinds that stand up on the rear edge or left and right side edges of the top of a desk is a device or the like. Needless to say, the present invention can also be used as an attachment device for a curtain board for concealing feet provided between the rear pillars on the underside of the desk top.

As described above, according to the present invention, the two panels are attached to the pillar via the locking body protruding from the pillar, and both panels are simply fitted onto the relevant panel. Since it is fixed to a single plate using clamping members, the panel can be attached and removed with the support column erected in advance.

Therefore, the positioning of the supports and the attachment of each member can be performed accurately and quickly, and the efficiency of assembling furniture and the like can be greatly improved.

Moreover, since an elastic material such as polyurethane foam is inserted between the two panels, the two panels may wobble even if the sandwiching member is simply fitted to both panels. It is firmly fixed as a single plate without any problems.
