Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a partitioning device for a foldable case, and more particularly, to an improvement of a partitioning device that divides a space inside a foldable case into upper and lower sections to form a shelf.

Cases that have traditionally been used as display cases for displaying products in department stores, etc. are generally in a so-called fixed form, that is, they are made of glass that forms the four surrounding sides, the top surface, and internal shelves with respect to pillars positioned at the four corners. It is a system in which the plates are installed in a fixed state,
When the column is connected to the glass plates forming the four surrounding surfaces, the top surface, and the internal shelf, the frame holding each glass plate is fixed to the column by screws or welding, for example.

In this way, it is necessary to transport or store the product in its so-called box shape, not only when it is in use, but also when it is not in use. Because of this inconvenience, a so-called collapsible case has been proposed, which is formed into a desired box shape when in use, but can be folded when not in use.

However, in the conventionally proposed foldable case, priority is given to being foldable for convenient transportation and storage, and the height position of the internal shelf is set to a height other than a preset height. In addition, it is not possible to change the number of internal shelves, and the number of internal shelves cannot be increased or decreased.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention was developed in a collapsible case that is formed into a desired box shape when in use and can be folded when not in use. It is an object of the present invention to provide a new partitioning device for a foldable case that can be easily realized and improves the versatility of the foldable case.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the structure of the partition device in the foldable case according to the present invention is arranged between the left and right pillars on the front side and the rear side, which are arranged with an appropriate interval, and facing each other. a front frame and a rear frame, and a left frame and a right frame that are arranged between the front and rear columns on the left and right sides and face each other, between both ends of each of the left and right frames and each of the columns. In a foldable case formed to be foldable via a formed hinge part, the rear frame has an upper support rod and a middle beam, and there is a space between the support rod and the beam. The glass plate support member has a rotatably erected pole, and a glass plate support member whose base end is locked and whose distal end extends horizontally is detachably held on the pole. This is a feature of the system.

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

The drawing shows a case according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the case of the present invention, as shown in FIG.
Left and right struts 1 and 2 arranged on the front side with appropriate intervals, left and right struts 3 and 4 arranged on the rear side opposite to the front left and right struts 1 and 2, and the front side Front frame 6 installed between left and right pillars 1 and 2

It has a right frame 8 that is movable, and a left frame 9 that connects the left front and rear columns 2 and 4 and allows the left front and rear columns 2 and 4 to rotate at both ends thereof. Furthermore, an upper frame 10 is provided between the front frame 6 and the rear frame 7, the base end of which is pivotally connected so as to be able to rise and fall freely.

In this embodiment, casters 5 are attached to the lower ends of each of the pillars 1 to 4 to facilitate transportation of the case of the present invention.

The front frame 6 is disposed in a continuous manner by welding or the like between the left and right columns 1 and 2 on the front side, and allows the front end side of the upper frame 10 to be adjacent to the upper surface thereof.

Although not shown, the front frame 6
The upper half of the front side has a glass plate, and the lower half has a decorative plate.

Further, the middle beam member 12, which is approximately in the center of the front frame 6, has a shelf X whose base end is pivotably supported, and the shelf X is connected to a glass plate 36. It consists of a arm member 33 that holds the glass plate 36 from below.

The proximal end of the shelf X, that is, the proximal end of the arm member 33, is pivotally connected to the middle beam 12 of the front frame 6, and the tip side of the shelf X, that is, the end of the arm member 33. is secured to the upper surface of a middle beam member 38 of the rear frame 7, which will be described later.

That is, in this embodiment, when the case of the present invention is molded into a box shape, the shelf X is used as a stopper to maintain the molded state, and when the case of the present invention is used, The above-mentioned shelf X is arranged in order to form the shelf that is used most often.

As shown in FIG. 2, the rear frame 7 includes an upper support rod 37 that is arranged in a continuous manner by welding or the like between the upper ends of the left and right columns 3 and 4 on the rear side, and A middle beam member 38 is arranged in a continuous manner such as by welding between the middle part and the lower end part of the pillars 3 and 4.
A glass plate fixing frame 40 is provided on the lower end surface of the support rod 37, and a glass plate fixing frame 41 is provided on the upper end surface of the middle beam member 38. Glass plates 42a and 42b serving as so-called sliding doors are slidably disposed between the upper and lower glass plate fixing frames 40 and 41, respectively.

In this embodiment, two glass plates 42a and 42b are slidably disposed on the upper and lower glass plate fixing frames 40 and 41 for use as sliding doors. Alternatively, one glass plate may be fitted between the upper and lower glass plate retaining frames 40, 41 in a so-called closed-loop manner.

The support rod 37, the middle beam 38, and the lower beam 39 are each formed into a prismatic shape using a long pipe or the like, and a power source E is attached to the upper center of the lower beam 39. ing.

In particular, in this embodiment, a plurality of sockets 43 are provided at appropriate intervals on the inner lower surface of the support rod 37.
It has a plurality of sockets 44 arranged on the inner upper surface of the middle beam 38 so as to face each of the sockets 43, and between the upper and lower sockets 43, 44, A pole 45 is rotatably housed.

The pole 45 is made of a so-called hollow pipe, and has a plurality of holes 46 formed in a row on its outer peripheral surface in the axial direction. A proximal end hook portion 49 of 48 is detachably attached.

In this embodiment, the glass plate supporting members 47 and 48 are provided in plural numbers above and below, each having different lengths, but instead, they may have the same length, and the number may also be the same. It may be something that is considered a book.

The glass plate supporting members 47 and 48 are connected to the poles 45
The glass plate supporting members 47 and 48 are fixed at an arbitrary height position and horizontally extended, and are placed through the poles 45 so that the glass plate supporting members 47 and 48 are positioned inside, that is, inside the case of the present invention. When rotated, glass plates 50 and 51 can be placed on the glass plate support members 47 and 48, respectively, and the glass plates 50 and 51 can be used as so-called shelves.

Further, the glass plate supporting members 47 and 48 can be used when the case of the present invention is not in use, that is, when it is folded.
After the glass plates 50 and 51 are removed, they are rotated 90 degrees together with the pole 45 and positioned along the inner surfaces of the glass plates 42a and 42b of the rear frame 7.

By the way, in the present invention, the following considerations are made regarding the rotatable installation of the pole 45.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a guide pin 60 is present in the upper socket 43, and a spring 61 is interposed around the outer periphery of the guide pin 60. As shown in FIGS.

Adjacent to the lower end of the spring 61 is a spring seat 62 that is slidably interposed on the outer periphery of the guide pin 60.

The spring seat 62 is prevented from coming off the guide pin 60 by a flanged bolt 63 screwed into the lower end of the guide pin 60.

On the other hand, the spring seat 62 is in contact with the upper end of the pole 45 inserted into the socket 43 from below.

Therefore, the pawl 45 is constantly pressed downward by the urging force of the spring 61, and is prevented from coming off from the socket 44 below the lower end of the pawl 45.

Next, two notch grooves 65 and 66 that open upward are formed in the lower socket 44, and one of the notch grooves 65 and 66 has a hole formed on the outer periphery of the lower end of the pole 45. A protruding stopper 67 is adapted to fit therein.

That is, the stopper 67 is connected to the holes 46 that are arranged in a line in the vertical direction on the outer peripheral surface of the pole 45.
The two cutout grooves 65 and 66, which are formed in a protruding manner so as to be in the same line as the group, and into which the stopper 67 is fitted, have a mutual angle of 90 degrees in the horizontal direction. The groove 65 faces inside the case of the present invention, and the other notch groove 66 is oriented in the axial direction of the middle beam member 38.

Therefore, when forming the case of the present invention into a box shape, that is, when extending the glass plate supports 47 and 48 horizontally into the case of the present invention, the stopper 67 is inserted into the cutout groove facing into the case of the present invention. 65 and when folding the case of the present invention, the stopper 67 is fitted into another notched groove 66 which is 90 degrees apart, and the rotation of the pawl 45 is prevented and stabilized at each time. becomes possible.

In addition, the stopper 67 has one notch groove 65.
When fitting into another notch groove 66,
It is sufficient to raise the pawl 45 against the biasing force of the spring 61 and to rotate the pawl 45 horizontally by 90 degrees.

At this time, it goes without saying that the glass plate supports 47 and 48 are also rotated in conjunction with the pole 45.

As shown in FIG. 1, the right side frame 8 and the left side frame 9 are rotatably connected to each of the pillars 1 to 4 at hinge portions Y at both ends thereof, so that the right side frame 8 and the left side frame 9 are A front frame 6 that is integrally connected to the pillars 1 and 2 and a rear frame 7 that is integrally connected to the pillars 3 and 4.
For the above right frame 8 and left frame 9
is so-called foldable.

In addition, the above-mentioned right side frame 8 and left side frame 9
A glass plate is fitted in the upper half, and a decorative board is fitted in the lower half.

As shown in FIG. 1, the upper frame 10 is formed such that its proximal end side is pivotally connected to the rear frame 7 side so that it can be tilted up and down. When the upper frame 10 is molded into a
When the case of the present invention is not in use, that is, when folded, the distal end side of the upper frame 10 can be removed from the upper surface of the front frame 6, and the proximal end side can be rotated. It is assumed that the upper frame 10 is made to hang down along the outer surface of the rear frame 7 by pivoting around the center of movement.

Note that a glass plate is fitted into the upper frame 10.

The operation of the case of the present invention formed as described above will be briefly explained.

When folding this from the usage state shown in FIG. 1, first, as shown by arrow A in FIG.
The upper frame 10 is separated from the rear frame 7 and rotated around its base end side.
hang along the outer surface of the

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the glass plates 50 and 51 are attached to the glass plate support member 47
At the same time, the glass plate supporting members 47 and 48 are rotated 90 degrees together with the pole 45 as shown by arrow B in the figure, so that the glass plate supporting members 47 and 48 are removed from above the rear frame 7. Position it along the inside surface.

Then, the glass plate 36 constituting the middle shelf This is a so-called stopper release to release the lock.

After the so-called obstacles in the case of the present invention are removed as described above, the right frame 8 and the left frame 9 are removed as shown by arrow D in FIG.
are respectively rotated via hinge portions Y.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the front frame 6 and the rear frame 7 are brought into a so-called folded state in which their inner surfaces are adjacent to each other, and the case of the present invention can be transported in a flat state. It is allowed.

Furthermore, when forming the case of the present invention, it is of course possible to perform the reverse process of the folding operation described above, but at that time, the glass plate supporting members 47 and 48 may be attached to the poles 45 depending on the use of the case of the present invention. By changing the position, the height position of the shelves can be freely set, and either one of the glass plate supporting members 47, 48 can be removed from the pole 45 to reduce the number of shelves themselves.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a case that can be made into a box-shaped fixed form when in use and can be folded compactly when not in use. The member is held by a pole rotatably installed between the upper support rod and the middle beam of the rear frame, so when in use, the pole is rotated to horizontally project the glass plate support member. It becomes possible to
Furthermore, when not in use, the pole can be rotated to keep the glass plate support member along the inner surface of the rear frame.Furthermore, the glass plate support member is detachably held on the pole. It becomes possible to select the locking position of the glass plate supporting member to the pole and change its height position, and to change the number of shelves installed, which has the advantage of improving versatility as a so-called show case.
