Abstract

The holder (14) comprises a carrier means (18) and a mounting part having a base (16). Extending from the upper part of the base is at least one hook which is intended to be inserted into an aperture (12) in the plate (10). Extending from the lower part of the base are two clamping legs (30,32) each of which is provided with a securing or locating stud provided with recesses (40) approximately corresponding to the thickness of the plate. When fitting the holder to the plate, the studs are pressed towards one another, preferably with the aid of bevelled surfaces. When inserted into an aperture, the securing studs spring apart so that the recesses engage around the defining edges of the apertures. When removing the holder, the clamping legs are pressed together with the aid of finger grips (44) provided thereon, so that the recessed portions (40) move out of engagement with the defining edges of the aperture.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an article holder attached to a perforated board, which is of the type described in the preamble of claim 1. .

[Conventional technology]

Object holders of this type are already well known and are used, inter alia, for hanging food items in stores and for hanging tools and other small items in the workplace or at home. The most F
In the Ajl- shape, the holder is provided with a double-shaped curved hook-shaped attachment part on its upper part, a straight intermediate part or base part that comes into contact with the board, and further has a hook-shaped or curved part. It has a holding part at its lower part.

Projecting outwardly from the base are short protrusions which, when the retainer is installed, fit into holes in the board to prevent the retainer from rolling or twisting. . The holding part has the same shape or the same size as the article to be supported on it, and therefore can have various shapes. For example, the holding part has a hook shape,! f (stirrup)
There are various shapes, such as a straight mouth or a bracket shape.

Article holders such as those described above have various drawbacks. That is,
Since these means for attaching the retainer do not have a lateral guide function, it is impossible to prevent the retainer from swinging or pivoting laterally, and the center line of such pivoting is determined by the hook-shaped attachment section. This is a straight line connecting the hole into which the projection is inserted and the hole into which the protrusion is inserted. Furthermore, the above-mentioned known holder (
(to the board) cannot guarantee a secure attachment;
The retainer can easily loosen and fall off the board. If the holder is equipped with a separate attachment means, it is time-consuming to fit it into place, and once it is attached, it is difficult to remove it without damaging the board, or to remove it from the back of the board. It is difficult to remove the separate attachment means without removing the board for access.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Therefore, one object of the present invention is to provide an article holder of the type mentioned above, which can be attached to a perforated board in a state where it can strongly maintain its position against external forces that cause it to sway. To provide an article holder that is securely supported by the board, can be secretly attached to the cough board, and can be easily removed from the board without damaging the board or the holder itself. .

Another object of the invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive structure in which a large number of different holding means for different purposes can be fitted.

[Means for solving problems]

The above object is achieved by the article holder according to the invention, having the structure described in the characterizing part of claim 1.

[For production]

According to the above structure, this article holder inserts the hook in one part into one hole of the perforated board, and presses the part opposite to the hook against the board, thereby attaching two or more clamp legs. The coughing protrusion elastically engages with another hole different from the above-mentioned one hole, accompanied by elastic deformation of the respective protruding protrusions or, together with elastic deformation of the clamp layer itself. Since the protrusion is formed with a recess having a size corresponding to the thickness of the board, the protrusion is reliably and firmly engaged with the board by the recess.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the article holder of the present invention can be drilled with a simple operation of inserting the hook into one hole and elastically engaging the protrusion into the second hole. Can be attached to the board. To remove the holder from the board, apply finger pressure to the clamps and bring them closer to each other to disengage the projection recess and the hole on the above side, and while lifting the holder, insert the hook into the above 1. Not only is it extremely easy to attach and detach the holder, it only needs to be pulled out from the two holes, but the present invention eliminates the defects found in conventional products when attached to the board, that is, tears. By using a plurality of, for example, two, the problem can be solved very effectively.

〔Example〕

The board (10) shown in FIG. 1 has square holes (12), and these holes are arranged at equal intervals in two mutually orthogonal directions. The article holder of the present invention, generally designated (14), is fitted into two holes. The retainer has a substantially rigid base (16). Projecting from the front face of the base is a retaining means (18), which is a looped structure of elongated, rigid metal rod with an upwardly curved outer end. Extending from the back side of the holder is a hook (22), which has a section (24) corresponding to the thickness of the board and at right angles to the back side (20) of the base, and a grip curved upwards. Part (2
6). When the holder is fitted into a predetermined position, the grip portion is abutted and supported on the back surface of the board (28).

Projecting outward from the base (16) are two clamps! (30), (32), these 1 extending in a direction opposite to the gripping part (26) of said hook, the clamping legs (30), (32) being separated from each other by an opening (34). The opening terminates in a circular enlarged portion (36). Extending from each clamp leg is a protrusion for positioning and position fixing (
38), each protrusion is provided with a recess (40), and these recesses are oriented in opposite directions. These recesses are formed when the article holder is attached to the board (10).
It is of sufficient size to surround and engage the edge portion of the board defining the hole. The three edges of the protrusion (38) have chamfered portions (42) extending outwardly into the recess. The operation of the clamping portions (44) extending from each clamp leg (30), (32) will be described later.

The base (16) has a thickened part (46) in which three through-holes (48) are provided into which retaining means, for example loop-shaped retaining means consisting of a metal rod or wire ( 18), can be fixed. A tapered reinforcing portion (50) extends from the thickened portion (46) and is disposed on the base surface opposite the hook (22). Similarly, clamp legs (30), (32)
When the article holder is attached, the flat part (52) parallel to the board (10) and the thick part (46) of the base increase in depth and height), and the grip part (44) increases. There is also an inclined band-shaped portion (54) which increases in depth and has the same shape as the core portion.

The article holder of the present invention is inserted and fixed into the perforated board (10) as follows. That is, after inserting the grip part (26) of the hook (22) obliquely into the board, the protrusion (38) is turned to bring the grip part (26) into contact with the back surface (28) of the board. When the projection comes into contact with another hole, the protrusion and the clamp leg (30), (3
2) are pressed toward each other, and this is made possible by the action of the chamfered portion (42). Then, when the protrusion is fully inserted into the hole and the boundary surface of the recess (40) is flush with the back surface of the board (28), the protrusion and the clamp leg elastically deform outward, thus causing the clamp leg to deform outward. As the recess engages with the board, the end surface of the hole comes into contact with the bottom of the recess and is supported thereon. Since the clamp legs (30) and (32) are pressed toward each other by the clamping portion (44), it is easy to insert the protrusion (38) into the hole.

In this way, the article holder is a perforated board (10).
It is securely locked to. In order to remove this article holder, it is necessary to press the clamping parts (44) in the direction toward each other, and this releases the protrusion from the end surface around the hole, so the hook (22) is The article holder can be rotated to remove it from the hole.

The dimensions of the recess (40) are determined to correspond to the thickness of the board (10), but there is a slight play mark there, so it is necessary to compensate for errors in the manufacturing process or to compensate for the slight play in the board. It can accommodate various deformations.

The recesses are arranged on opposite sides of the protrusion. However, the recess may extend around the entire circumference of the protrusion (38), forming a side facing the hook (22) and a side facing away from the hook.

Such a protrusion design is necessary for processing reasons when the cough part is made by turning. The protrusion having the concave portion (40) extending over the entire circumference engages with the hole at the portion facing the hook (22) and the portion opposite thereto, so that the locking effect is even better. This is particularly advantageous in the case of the embodiment not shown, in which the gripping part (26) of the hook is opposite the projection (38). In this case, the dimensions of the hook (22) must be substantially the same as the dimensions of the hole (12); therefore, in this case, the hook must be retracted to engage the entire circumference of the hole before the protrusion occurs. I can't insert my body into other holes.

In addition to chamfering the outward part of the end of the protrusion (38),
It would be convenient if the upward and downward facing parts were also chamfered. This facilitates centering of the protrusion when fitting the article holder onto the perforated board. This is the recess (40
) is formed over the entire circumference including the upper and lower surfaces of the cough protrusion, which is particularly advantageous.

[Another Embodiment] Figures 7 to 12 show a second embodiment of the article holder of the present invention. Each part corresponding to that of the embodiment in Figure 1 is designated with a (゛) (dash) symbol and is designated as the same. It is indicated by the number. In the second embodiment, the holder is a board (
60), and the intervals between these round holes are different in the horizontal and vertical directions. The article holder (64) that can be fitted onto this board is a holding means (18″)
A base (66) having two continuous thick-walled portions (90) is provided. Two hooks (72) of circular cross section extending from the upper part of the base include a part (74) extending perpendicularly to the back surface of the base and a part (74) extending around the back surface of the board (78) in the installed state. and a grip portion (76) that comes into contact with the internuclear region.

Also extending from the base are two elastic clamps I (80) and (82) of roughly rectangular cross section.

The gap (84) separating the clamp legs corresponds to the distance between two horizontally adjacent holes (62). The clamp legs are all rounded at the transition to the base (62). A clamping portion (94) is formed at the free end of each leg.

Recesses (90) are formed in the circular protrusions (88) disposed on the clamp legs (80) and (82), and these recesses (90) are oppositely spaced from each other like the aforementioned recesses (40). . Advantageously, these recesses are circular, corresponding to the shape of the hole (62). In that case, it is desirable that the radius of the recess is smaller than the radius of the hole (62), since this provides a clearance to allow for measurement errors during the manufacturing process. Preferably, the ends of the projections (88) are rounded as in the first embodiment.

The article holder of this second embodiment is different from that of the first embodiment in that the two hooks (72) engage in separate holes (62), and the two protrusions (88) are also separate. The point is that it engages with the hole. Although this configuration provides a wide holding surface for the retainer, in terms of individual hooks and projections it is weaker than in the first example.

The article holder illustrated and described above can be modified in various ways within the scope of the present invention. For example, the distance between the hook and the protrusion may extend over a plurality of large sizes. It is also possible, for example, to provide two or more protrusions on one clamp leg, each of which engages a different hole, or to the upper end of the base in a manner such that they engage different parts of a large hole. More than one hook may be arranged in a row, which is advantageous if the perforated board has more than one hole in close proximity. The article holder of the present invention can be attached even when a very large hole is bored, such as in a metal punching plate. In this case,
It is necessary that two hooks and two protrusions disposed on each clamp leg engage with the circumferential surface of the same or different holes, thereby achieving reliable attachment in a predetermined position.

In the case of a type in which the protrusions are inserted into different holes, the recesses may be formed in positions facing each other. In this example, the clamp legs are pressed in directions that are separated from each other during mounting, and must also be pushed apart from each other during removal.

The design may be such that by pressing the clamp legs toward each other in relation to the perforated board, the protrusion can be inserted into the corresponding hole.

In this case, the recess is in a state where it is elastically pressed against the periphery of the hole, thereby reliably fixing the article holder. In addition, holes (
12) If, for some reason, a hole is not large enough to allow one-stroke entry of the protrusion into (62), the clamping leg must also be pressed in the direction of mutual approach.

The actual holding means constituting the article holder of the present invention may have any suitable shape. For example, it can be in the shape of a hook, a shadow or a rod, or it can be a structural member such as a more complicated holding bag or a self-posturing bracket. When the retaining means is in the form of a support bracket,
It is desirable that the size of the base extends over multiple rows of holes to increase the load supporting capacity of the bracket.

The article holder and the corresponding board described above can in principle be made of any kind of material with suitable mechanical strength. For boards, Masonite (trademark for hard fiberboard) and other woods,
Can be made of fiberboard, plastic, or metal. In most cases, a rigid steel plate is preferred; for loads that are not unusually heavy, a thickness of 1.5 mm is suitable.

The holding means in the article holder can be made of metal, wood or plastic, with metal being preferred in most cases. attachment means in the retainer, i.e. a base, a hook, a clamp leg;
It is preferable that the protrusions and the like are made of plastic of suitable properties. In most cases, this will result in the lowest manufacturing costs. It is also conceivable for such attachment means to be made of other materials, for example metal or composite materials.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but may be modified within the scope of the claims.
