Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a fall prevention device for furniture and other indoor equipment, and is particularly designed to prevent furniture, etc. from falling over due to earthquakes, etc. The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for preventing furniture, etc., from falling over, which can prevent the spread of danger.

Conventionally, this type of device has been used, for example, by attaching fixing metal fittings to both ends of a wire, fixing one metal fitting to furniture with nails, wood screws, etc., and attaching the other metal fitting to a pillar, ceiling, or wall of a building. Fixed types are commercially available.

By the way, with the above configuration, in order to fix one side of the wire to furniture, etc., it is necessary to drive or screw nails or wood screws directly into the house, etc., which may damage the furniture. There were flaws.

Furthermore, when changing the mounting position of one of the metal fittings to the furniture or the like in conjunction with changing the placement of furniture, it is difficult to remove and it is inconvenient to handle.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and it can sufficiently prevent furniture etc. from falling due to earthquakes, etc., can be attached without damaging furniture etc. when attached, and is easy to attach and detach. The purpose is to provide a fall prevention device for furniture, etc. that is convenient to handle and can be easily applied to furniture, etc. of various sizes. It is.

That is, the present invention includes a sub-rod portion having a plurality of engaging portions arranged in the length direction, and a link piece having an engaging frame that telescopically extends through the sub-rod portion and engages with the engaging portion. A support rod having an expansion/contraction adjustment mechanism consisting of a main rod portion to which a main rod is attached, and which is capable of clamping and fixing at least both sides of furniture, etc. with a pair of abutting members distributed at both ends. , and a connector having one end fixed to a fixed body such as a building orthogonally to the support rod and the other end connected to the support rod.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the illustrated example.

FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of the device in use, FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway front view, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 2.

As shown in FIG. 1, a device 1 of the present invention is used, for example, to prevent furniture 3 such as a chest of drawers placed along a wall 2 of a room from falling over. This device 1 is composed of a support rod 4 and connectors 5, 5. The support rod 4 is a part that is attached to the furniture 3, and the connectors 5, 5 are connected to the support rod 4.
This is a part for connecting and fixing between the building pillars and the pillars of the building, etc.

The support rod 4 includes, for example, a long main rod portion 40 with a large diameter and a rectangular cylindrical cross section, and a long sub-rod portion with a radial shape that can be inserted into the inner hole 40A of the main rod portion 40. 4
1. And each of the above-mentioned rod parts 4
The base ends 40B, 41B of 0, 41 are bent into an L-shape, and abutting members 42, 43 are provided with sheet-like rubber, packing material, etc. affixed to the inner surface side.
is formed. The abutting members 42, 43 are a pair of abutting members 42, 43, which abut at least two opposing sides of the furniture 3, for example, the left and right sides 3A, 3B, and act to clamp the furniture 3 from both sides. In the case of the illustrated example, the L-shaped bent hanging parts 42A, 43A of the contact members 42, 43 are both side contact parts that contact both sides of the furniture 3. 42B, 43B, and peripheral frame front contact parts 42C, 42C that abut on the front side peripheral frame part 3C.
is formed.

Furthermore, a U-shaped link piece 44 is rotatably supported by a pivot 45 from the upper surface side at the distal end 40C of the main rod portion 40. This link piece 44 is rotatable about the pivot shaft 45 in the direction of arrow X-Y in FIG. supported.

Further, the distal end 41C of the sub-rod portion 41 is formed with sawtooth-shaped engagement portions 47 arranged in the length direction of the upper surface, and the locking portions 46 on the free end side of the engagement frame 46
B can be freely engaged. The tip 4 of the sub-rod portion 41 on which the serrated engagement portion 47 is disposed
1C is adapted to be inserted and fitted into the inner hole 40A of the main rod 40 from the tip 40C, as described above.

Further, connecting portions 50, 50, which can be hooked and connected to, for example, one ends of wires 5A, 5A constituting the connecting tools 5, 5, are protrudingly provided on the upper surfaces of the main and secondary rod portions 40, 41 near the proximal ends. has been done.

Further, the other ends 5B, 5B of the wires constituting the connectors 5, 5 are fixed to a frame 6 of the room, etc., via fixing devices 48, 48, in the illustrated example.

Therefore, in order to attach the attachment 1, the link piece 44 in the state shown in FIG. 2 is rotated counterclockwise around the pivot 45 and the engaging frame 46 is moved in the Y direction in the figure with its base 46A as the center. The tip 41C of the sub-rod part 41 is inserted and fitted into the tip 40C of the main rod part 40 to fit on the furniture 3, and the contact part 4 of each of the above-mentioned rod parts 40, 41 is rotated to a free state.
2, 43 are firmly pressed against both side surfaces 3A, 3B and front side peripheral frame 3C of the furniture 3. At this time, the furniture 3 is pressed against the furniture 3 via rubber, packing material, or the like. In this way, with each of the contact parts 42 and 43 abutting the furniture 3 from both sides so as to sandwich it, the engagement frame 46 is temporarily fixed to the corresponding engagement part 47, and the link piece 44 When rotated clockwise and folded down, the main and sub-rod portions 40 and 41 are firmly connected and fixed to the furniture 3.

Therefore, the length of the connectors 5, 5 is adjusted according to the dimension between the fixing member 48 and the engaging portion 47 by shifting the position of the wire adjustment part such as the ring tube 5C disposed on the one end 5A side of the connector 3. The installation is completed by doing this.

In the device of the present invention having the above configuration, the furniture 3 is held between the contact parts 42 and 43 of the support rod 4 without providing a direct connection part using nails, wood screws, etc. Since it can be fixedly connected, it will not cause any damage to the furniture. In addition, the distance between the contact portions 42 and 43 can be easily adjusted by the expansion/contraction adjustment mechanism provided in the middle of the support rod 4, so that it can be easily and reliably attached to furniture of various sizes. Can be done. Further, as in the above embodiment, if the telescopic adjustment mechanism is constructed by combining a link piece, an engaging frame, and an engaging portion, it can be attached and detached with a single touch.

In addition, in the present invention, the abutment part and the expansion/contraction adjustment mechanism are not limited to the structure of the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. Depending on the type of furniture and the installation location, the above-mentioned support rod may be equipped with an expansion/contraction adjustment mechanism in the middle. Although not shown in the drawings, various modifications are possible as long as the support rod is equipped with a pair of abutting members distributed at both ends and can be clamped and fixed to furniture, etc. from at least two opposing sides. Furthermore, the connector is not limited to wire, but may also be a rod-shaped body or other material.

According to the present invention, the installation condition of furniture etc. is stabilized and it is possible to prevent it from falling during an earthquake, etc., and the intended purpose can be fully achieved.
