Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a glass door mounting device that uses a simple structure to prevent the glass door from falling off the hinge.

Figure 1 shows a general rack.
1 is the rack body, 2 is a glass door rotatably attached to the front of the rack, 3 is a hinge for attaching the rear end of the glass door 2 to the side plate 1a of the rack body 1, and 4 is attached above the tip of the glass door 2. A handle 5 made of a magnetic material is a magnetic catch that attracts the handle 4 and locks the glass door 2.

Conventionally, when installing such a glass door 2,
As shown in FIG. 2, a flat metal spacer 6 is pasted on the inner surface of the rear end of the glass door 2, and the recess 3a provided on the hinge 3 is fitted into the end of the glass door 2. The screw 7 is tightened from the outside. This is because if the screws 7 are tightened directly on the surface of the glass door 2, the glass door 2 may be damaged, and the glass door 2 and the hinge 3 cannot be firmly connected. A metal spacer 6 is pasted in advance, and a screw 7 is tightened there.

However, the glass door 2 is generally heavy;
Since the glass door 2 is subjected to a load in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1 due to its own weight, and is subjected to shocks when opening and closing the door, the entire glass door 2 often tilts in the direction of arrow A after long-term use. At this time, the rear end of the glass door 2 is pulled out in the direction of arrow B in FIG. There is a problem in that the number 2 slips out in the direction of arrow B.

The present invention provides a glass door mounting device that solves these conventional problems with a simple configuration.

FIG. 4 shows the relationship between a spacer and a hinge in an embodiment of the present invention, where 8 is a hinge and 9 is a spacer made of a metal plate. The hinge 8 is composed of a mounting portion 8a for attaching to the glass door 2 and a mounting portion 8b for attaching to the rack body 1, which are rotatably connected by a pin 11.
A recess 8c that fits into the end of the recess 8c, a groove 8d provided on the inner surface of the recess 8c, a screw hole 8e for screwing the screw 7, and a notch 8f into which one end of the mounting portion 8b enters and exits are provided. The mounting portion 8b is provided with a through hole 8g for inserting the same 10 as shown in FIG. On the other hand, two cutouts 9a, 9a are provided at the end of the spacer 9, projecting in a direction away from the surface of the glass door 2, and these cutouts 9a, 9a correspond to the spacing between the screw holes 8e, 8e. are spaced approximately the same distance apart.

In the above configuration, a spacer 9 is attached to the inner surface of the end of the glass door 2, and the hinge 8 is pushed in the direction of arrow C as shown in FIG. When the spacer 9 is fitted, the cut and raised portion 9a of the spacer 9 is pressed against the wall surface of the groove 8d and is bent in the direction of arrow D, so that the hinge 8 is attached to the glass door 2 as shown in FIG. 5b. When the screw 7 is tightened in this state, the tip of the screw 7 is pressed against the surface of the spacer 9, and the glass door 2 and the hinge 8 are joined together.

If the glass door 2 tilts in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1 due to its own weight or impact when opening and closing, the end of the glass door will tend to protrude in the direction shown by arrow E in FIG. 5c. , when it comes out a certain amount, cut and raise 9a and screw 7
is locked at the tip of the glass door 2, and further rotation of the glass door 2 is prevented. Therefore, the glass door 2 will not fall off the hinge 8, and there is no possibility that the glass door 2 will be damaged.

If the amount of movement of the glass door 2 in Fig. 5c is set to about 5 mm, the tilted state of the glass door 2 can be easily seen, so loosen the screw 7 and move the glass door 2. Connect the end to the recess 8 of the hinge 8
If you push it all the way into c and retighten screw 7,
It can be returned to normal condition.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to reliably prevent the glass door from falling out of the recessed portion of the hinge with the extremely simple structure of providing the spacer with a cut-and-raised portion.
