Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to the structure of a device for arranging a storage box for printer paper, etc. at the bottom of a desk on which a printer is placed, etc., so as not to shift its position. It is.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

Recently, small computers, computer terminals such as printers, and office automation equipment such as word processors have been introduced for office processing.

The paper printed by the printer is generally in the form of a belt, and the paper has cut lines perpendicular to the longitudinal direction at appropriate intervals in the longitudinal direction, and the paper is cut at the cut line locations. It is designed so that it can be folded and stacked.

Then, the paper printed by the desk printer is dropped into a basket-shaped storage box with an open top placed on the floor below the desk so that it can be stored in a naturally folded state.

Therefore, if the storage box is misaligned with respect to the desk, the paper cannot be properly stored in the storage box, and if the storage box is attached to the bottom of the desk, it is not only troublesome to remove the paper, but also
There was a problem that the storage box was a nuisance when it was not needed or when the desk was being transported or packed, and it was also bulky.

The present invention aims to solve these problems.

[Means for solving problems]

Therefore, in the present invention, in a storage box position holding device configured to hold the storage box placed on the floor between the left and right legs of a desk using a holding frame, the storage box is attached to the inner surface of the left and right legs. Approximately horizontal support holes are formed in the pair of left and right locking tools, and shaft portions are formed facing outward at both left and right end portions of the holding frame, which is approximately U-shaped in plan view. removably and rotatably inserted into the support hole of each of the locking tools,
Each locking tool has a substantially horizontal locking groove on a surface thereof in a direction substantially perpendicular to the support hole, which supports the right and left ends of the holding frame and holds the holding frame substantially horizontally behind the desk. , substantially vertical locking grooves into which the left and right end portions of the holding frame fit when the holding frame is changed in attitude downward and substantially vertically are provided.

[Functions and effects of the invention]

According to this configuration, the holding frame is detachably and rotatably supported by the shaft portions at both left and right ends of the holding frame in the support holes of the locking tool attached to the inner side surface of the leg body, so the holding frame is not required. Sometimes, it is sufficient to remove the holding frame from the locking device, and the desk does not take up much bulk when being transported or packed.

The holding frame is pivotally supported with respect to the locking tool so as to be able to move up and down, and is fitted into a substantially horizontal locking groove formed on the surface of the locking tool in a direction substantially perpendicular to the support hole.
If the right and left ends of the holding frame are locked, the holding frame will be held horizontally in a U-shape when viewed from above, so the holding frame can be used to regulate the placement position of the storage box. This can at least prevent the storage box from shifting toward the rear of the desk.

On the other hand, the holding frame may be rotated upward so as to pass over the top of the storage box and then rotated downward to position the holding frame on the front side of the storage box, or conversely, the holding frame may be moved from the backward horizontal position. If the holding frame is rotated directly downward, the holding frame will not come into contact with at least the rear surface of the storage box, so the restriction on the position of the storage box will be lifted, and the storage box can be easily moved to the rear of the desk. This has the effect of making it extremely easy to remove the paper inside.

Also, when there is no need to install a storage box,
If the holding frame is made substantially vertical, the left and right end portions of the holding frame will fit into the vertical locking grooves on the surfaces of the locking devices on both the left and right sides, and the holding frame will no longer wobble and the posture can be maintained. The holding frame can be held vertically downward without protruding backwards, so that it can be folded, and there is also an effect that no extra space is required behind the desk and it does not get in the way.

〔Example〕

Next, to explain an example, in the figure,
Reference numeral 1 is the desk top plate 3 attached to the top of the left and right legs 2, 2.
A desk is shown on which a printer 4 can be placed on the top surface, and a shelf board 6 on which unused paper 5 is placed is installed between the left and right legs 2 at an appropriate height below the desk top plate 3. .

Further, a vertical curtain plate 7 is fixed between the rear end portions of both leg bodies 2, 2. An opening 8 of an appropriate length on the left and right through which the paper 5 can be inserted is provided between the left and right center portions of the upper end of the curtain plate 7 and the lower surface of the desk top plate 3. A guide frame 9 having a U-shape in plan view is provided protruding approximately horizontally, and both left and right open ends of the guide frame 9 are fixed to the lower surface of the desk top plate 3 with mounting brackets 10. A guide plate 11 tilting rearward and upward is detachably mounted between the rear end and the upper end of the opening 8.

Reference numeral 12 indicates a floor surface 1 between the left and right legs 2 and 2 of the desk 1.
A basket-shaped storage box with an open top that is placed on top of the
Reference numeral 4 denotes a mounting device that allows the storage box 12 to be mounted so as not to be displaced at least toward the rear of the desk. It consists of a locking tool 18 that pivotally supports shaft portions 17, 17, which are bent outwardly at both ends, in a detachable and vertically movable manner.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the holding frame 15 is bent so that its left and right longitudinal center portions form an abutment surface 19 that abuts against the side and rear surfaces of the storage box 12 and prevents the storage box 12 from shifting. The end portions 16, 16 are bent near the left and right shaft portions 17, 17, and are fitted into substantially horizontal locking grooves 20 and substantially vertical locking grooves 21 of each locking tool 18, which will be described later. They are constructed so that they can fit into each other.

The locking tools 18, 18 made of synthetic resin have a symmetrical shape, and a support hole 22 is bored in the center of each locking tool 18, penetrating from the front surface to the back surface. 17 can be supported rotatably. A pair of upper and lower downward claws 23, 23 is protruded from the back surface of each locking tool 18, and both claws 23, 23 are inserted into engagement holes 24, 24 recessed in the inner surface of the leg body 2 and engaged. When this is done, the horizontal locking hole 25 drilled in the inner surface of the leg 2 and the support hole 22 of the locking tool 18 are configured to match in position.

In addition, a substantially horizontal locking groove 20 is provided on the surface of each locking tool 18 (the surface in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis of the support hole 22), which extends radially outward from the support hole 22 and toward the rear of the desk 1. On the other hand, a substantially vertical locking groove 21 is provided that extends downward from the desk 1.

The surface of each locking tool 18 is approximately truncated conical,
When the holding frame 15 is rotated from upward to downward, as the left and right end portions 16, 16 of the holding frame 15 move from the 20 horizontal locking grooves to the vertical locking groove 21, The thickness from the dimension (l1) to the back surface of the 22 support holes in the center of the locking tool 18 is adjusted so that the pressing force exerted by the locking tool 18 on the left and right end portions 16, 16 becomes smaller sequentially. l2) is formed on the inclined surface 26 so as to become gradually smaller (see FIG. 7).

With this configuration, the shaft parts 17, 17 on both the left and right sides of the holding frame 15 can be fitted into the support holes 22 in the left and right locking tools 18, 18, and the left and right end parts 1
6, 16 into the substantially horizontal locking grooves 20, 20,
The desk 1 is held substantially horizontally so that the contact surface 19 faces toward the rear of the desk 1. If the storage box 12 is placed on the floor 13 below the desk so as to be surrounded by the contact surfaces 19, 19, the storage box 12 can be positioned, and the paper 5 falling from the printer 4 can be placed in the storage box. It can be stored while being folded in order without protruding from the 12.

When the storage box 12 is not in use or when the storage box 12 is taken out together with the paper 5 that has been cut from the four printer locations, the left and right ends 16, 1 of the holding frame 15 are
6 from the substantially horizontal locking grooves 20, 20 in both the locking tools 18, 18, and rotate the holding frame 15 upward, the contact surface 19 will go over the top of the storage box 12 and the corresponding Because it comes to the front side of the storage box 12,
The storage box 12 can be easily taken out toward the rear of the desk.

The left and right end portions 16, 16 of the holding frame 15 are connected to the substantially vertical locking grooves 21, 2 in both the locking tools 18, 18.
1, the contact surface 19 can be kept in a state where it does not protrude to the rear of the desk.

When the holding frame 15 is rotated upward and then downward as described above, the inclined surfaces 26 on the front side of the locking tool 18 cause the left and right ends 1 of the holding frame 15 to be rotated.
Since the pressing force exerted by the locking members 6 and 16 on the locking members 18 gradually decreases, the holding frame 15 can be rotated smoothly and lightly.

In this way, the shaft portions 1 on both the left and right sides of the holding frame 15
7, 17 are removably and rotatably supported in the support holes 22 of the locking tools 18 attached to the inner surfaces of the left and right leg bodies 2, 2, so that they can be removed when the holding frame 15 itself does not need to be attached. Moreover, by moving the holding frame 15 up and down, the holding frame 1 can be
The left and right end portions 16, 16 of
The holding frame 15 can be held in horizontal and vertical positions by being selectively locked in the substantially horizontal locking groove 20 and the substantially vertical locking groove 21 in the storage box 12. Position regulation and removal can be performed extremely easily, and the device is not bulky.

Further, when rotating the holding frame 15, the left and right end portions 16, 16 of the holding frame 15, which are bent into a U-shape in plan view, are rotated so that the locking tool 18,
Since the surface of 18 is constantly pressed, the shaft portion 17,
There is no fear that the portion 17 will slip out of the locking tool 18, and the attachment and detachment work can be done easily.

Note that the storage box 12 and the holding frame 15 are not only placed in contact with each other to regulate their positions, but also the holding frame 1
It goes without saying that the rod-shaped portion having the abutment surface 19 etc. in 5 may be removably locked via a conventionally well-known upward U-shaped hook-shaped fitting (not shown) that can be inserted and removed from above. and the shaft portion 17
It is not an essential requirement that the support member extend to the locking hole 25 of the leg body 2, but it is sufficient that the support hole 22 of the locking member 18 is pivotally supported.
