Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a transport rack 10 as an embodiment of a plate-shaped body transport tool according to the present invention. Each transport rack 10 is used to transport a single glass unit or other plate-like body so that the glass unit or the like is not damaged by impact or vibration during transportation. It is done. FIG. 1 shows a state where one glass unit 12 is loaded on the transport rack 10. FIG. 2 is a side view showing the transport rack 10 according to the present embodiment. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA ′ of FIG. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view along the line BB in Fig. 1.

The transport rack 10 is configured to include a panel support member 16 as a plate-like body support member and a restraining body 24. The panel support member 16 supports the glass unit 12 loaded on the transport rack 10 along a substantially vertical plane. The restraint 24 contacts the corner of the glass unit 12 and presses the glass unit 12 toward the panel support member 16. Note that the “substantially vertical plane” here is not only strictly in the state along the vertical plane, but the plate-like body is pressed by pressing the corners of the plate-like body from above in the vertical direction by the restraint body 24. The purpose is to allow the plate-like body transporting device to be held. The plate-like body should be supported in an inclined state of about 10 ° with respect to the vertical plane.

The panel support member 16 includes a first support portion 18 that supports the first side end portion 13 positioned below the glass unit 12 and a second side end that is orthogonal to the first side end portion 13. And a second support portion 20 that supports the portion 14. It is preferable that the first support surface 19 of the first support portion 18 in contact with the first side end portion 13 is lowered on the second support portion 20 side. In this case, the second support surface 21 of the second support portion 20 in contact with the second side end portion 14 is inclined in the direction of arrow C so as to be orthogonal to the first support surface 19. According to this, even when the glass unit 12 is not fixed by the restraint body 24, the glass unit 12 is stably held by its own weight, so that it is safe to attach the restraint body 24 to the glass unit 12. And can be done easily.

A plurality of convex portions 28 are provided on the upper surface of the first support portion 18. Each of the plurality of convex portions 28 is disposed so as to extend in parallel with each other in the direction along the glass unit 12. Transport rack The convex portions 28 are arranged on the upper surface of the first support portion 18 so that the interval between the convex portions 28 is set larger than the thickness of the glass unit 12 loaded on the cup 10. Thereby, the horizontal groove part 30 is formed between each convex part 28 (refer FIG. 3), and the lower end part of the glass unit 12 can be accommodated in the horizontal groove part 30. FIG. Note that a cushioning material that also serves as an elastic material such as polyurethane or polyethylene may be provided at the bottom of the horizontal groove 30. In this case, the shock and vibration that may occur during conveyance are preferably transmitted to the plate-like body support member force plate-like body because the buffer material suppresses the shock.

In addition, a restraint hook 34 is fixed on the center line of the horizontal groove 30 at the tip of the first support 18. A recess 36 is provided at the center of the first support 18, and a restraining hook 35 is fixed on the center line of the horizontal groove 30 on the side surface of the recess 36 on the second support 20 side. .

[0018] The restraint hook 34 is shaped so that the end of the restraint 24 can be connected and fixed. For example, the restraint hook 34 may have a key shape so that the end of the restraint formed in a ring shape can be hooked. Alternatively, the restraint hook 34 may have a rod shape so that the ends of the restraint can be tied together.

In addition, the first support portion 18 is provided with a pair of connection portions 70 as shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the pair of connecting portions 70 includes a connecting hole 71 and a protrusion 72 that can be fitted into the connecting hole 71. With the connecting portion 70, two transport racks 10 adjacent in the stacking direction of the glass units 12 can be connected to each other.

[0020] Similar to the first support portion 18, a plurality of convex portions 29 are provided on the front surface of the second support portion 20. Each of the plurality of convex portions 29 is disposed so as to extend in parallel to each other in the vertical direction. Thereby, a vertical groove portion 31 is formed between the convex portions 29 (see FIG. 4), and the side end portion of the glass unit 12 can be accommodated in the vertical groove portion 31. For example, a cushioning material such as polyurethane or polyethylene may be provided at the bottom of the vertical groove 31! Then, it is preferable because shocks and vibrations that may occur during conveyance are transmitted to the plate-like body support member force plate-like body by the buffer material.

In addition, a through hole 60 into which the restraint body 24 can be inserted is provided in the central portion of the second support portion 20. Further, a restraint 24 is wound around the back surface of the second support portion 20. In addition, a winding part 62 capable of adjusting the length of the restraint 24 is provided.

[0022] Similarly to the first support portion 18, the second support portion 20 is provided with a pair of connecting portions 80 as shown in FIG. The pair of connecting portions 80 includes a connecting hole 81 and a protruding portion 82 that can be fitted into the connecting hole 81. With the connecting portion 80, two transport racks 10 adjacent in the stacking direction of the glass units 12 can be connected.

The restraint body 24 is configured to include a block 44 and an elastic stretchable cord 46. The block 44 is provided in the middle of the elastic elastic cord 46 and is configured to be movable along the elastic elastic cord 46.

One end of the elastic expansion / contraction cord 46 is fixed on the center line of the vertical groove portion 31 on the upper end surface of the second support portion 20. On the other hand, the other end of the elastic expansion / contraction cord 46 is configured to be connectable to the restraint hook 34. For example, the other end of the elastic telescopic cord 46 may be ring-shaped or hook-shaped so that it can be pulled and connected to the restraint hook 34 or the restraint hook 35. Alternatively, the other end of the elastic extension cord 46 is connected to the other end of the elastic extension cord 46 by connecting the other end of the elastic extension cord 46 to the restriction hook 34 or the restriction hook 35. Let's be able to do that. In this embodiment, the elastic elastic cord 46 may be a stretchable rubber rope called a pansy cord, for example.

The block 44 comes into contact with a corner portion which is opposite to the L-shaped portion of the glass unit 12 supported by being in contact with the panel support member 16, and is pressed against the glass unit by the elastic expansion / contraction cord 46. Therefore, it is preferable that the block 44 has a shape that matches the corner of the glass unit 12. The elastic expansion / contraction cord 46 applies a force to the block 44 to be pressed against the glass unit 12 when it is stretched and tension is applied. In the present embodiment, the block 44 is formed of an elastic body such as polyurethane foam.

[0026] With the above-described configuration, the transport rack 10 can load the glass units 12 as follows.

First, the lower side end portion of the glass unit 12 is inserted into a horizontal groove portion 30 formed on the first support portion 18. Next, the glass unit 12 is moved toward the second support portion 20 along the horizontal groove portion 30. And other orthogonal to the lower side edge of the glass unit 12 The side end of the second contact surface 21 is brought into contact with the second support surface 21. In this way, the glass unit 12 contacts the panel support member 16 in an L shape.

[0028] Next, the elastic elastic cord 46 is extended so that the block 44 comes into contact with the opposite corner of the L-shaped portion of the glass unit 12, and one end of the elastic elastic cord 46 is attached to the restraint hook 34. Link. Then, the tension acting on the elastic elastic cord 46 acts as a force for pressing the glass unit 12 toward the panel support member 16 via the block 44. As a result, the glass unit 12 is fixed along a substantially vertical plane. In the case of taking out the glass unit, contrary to the above description, after removing the restraint 24 from the glass unit and taking out the glass unit from the panel support member 16,

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the length force of the first side end portion 13 of the glass unit 12 The distance from the second support surface 21 to the recessed portion 36 is less than HI, and the elastic elastic cord The glass unit 12 can be fixed by hooking the other end of 46 to the restraint hook 35. If the length of the second side end 14 of the glass unit 12 is less than the distance H2 from the first support surface 19 to the through hole 60, the elastic expansion / contraction cord 46 is connected to the second support 20 An appropriate pressing force can be applied to the glass unit 12 by fixing the glass unit 12 through the through hole 60 from the back side of the glass. In this case, by winding the elastic expansion / contraction cord 46 around the winding portion 62 an appropriate number of times, the length of the elastic expansion / contraction cord 46 can be adjusted and the pressing force can be adjusted.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a state where a plurality of transport racks 10 are connected to each other. As shown in Fig. 6, the floor area occupied by the transport rack 10 can be kept to a minimum by using the transport racks 10 connected to each other corresponding to the number of glass units 12 to be transported. . As a result, space saving of the transport rack 10 can be realized, and other items can be mounted in the vacant space, so that the transportation efficiency in truck transportation can be improved.

[0031] Note that the transport rack 10 of the present embodiment has two sets of connecting portions 70 with the recess 36 in between, and two sets of connecting portions 80 with a through hole 60 to be described later in between. According to this, the strength reduction due to having the recess 36 and the through hole 60 can be compensated, and the rigidity when the plurality of transport racks 10 are connected can be increased. The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications such as design changes can be added to the embodiments based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art. Added embodiments may also fall within the scope of the present invention. Here are some examples.

[0033] The connecting portion 70 and the connecting portion 80 may have a structure capable of connecting adjacent transport racks 10 to each other. For example, magnets may be used as the connecting part 70 and the connecting part 80. In addition, with the connecting portion 70 and the connecting portion 80 as through holes, with the positions of the through holes of the plurality of transport racks 10 being aligned, a tightening rod is inserted, and both end forces of the plurality of transport racks 10 are also nuts, etc. A plurality of transport racks 10 may be fixed by fastening with a fastening member.

[0034] The restraining body 24 is not necessarily limited to pressing the plate-like body such as a glass unit in a direction along the diagonal line of the plate-like body as long as it can push the plate-like body against the plate-like body supporting member. . From the diagonal side of the corner where the first side edge and the second side edge of the plate are orthogonal to each other, for example, the plate is pressed toward the plate support along the vertical direction or the horizontal direction. Also good.

In addition, one end side of the elastic elastic cord 46 connected to the restraint hook 34 is formed as, for example, a rod-like rigid body, and the tip of the rod-like portion is connected to the restraint hook 34. It is good also. This is preferable because when the end of the elastic expansion / contraction cord 46 is hooked on the hook 34 for the restraining body, the elastic expansion / contraction cord 46 does not bend unnecessarily and is easy to handle. Further, a non-stretchable rope, wire, or the like may be used instead of the elastic stretchable cord 46 of the restraint 24.

In the present embodiment, the block 44 of the restraint 24 may be pressed by two or more elastic elastic cords 46 that are pressed against the glass unit by one elastic elastic cord 46. For example, press the block 44 against the glass with two elastic cords 46 from both sides.

[0037] In addition, the restraint 24 includes a block 44! /, May! /, And may / may not be included! /.

If the block 24 is not included in the restraint 24, you can bring a rope, wire, pansy cord, etc. directly into contact with the glass unit! In the case where the glass unit is, for example, a double-glazed glass, it is preferable to use a restraining body that is wider than the thickness of the intermediate layer of the double-glazed glass. As a result, the pressing force acts on the outer glass layer as well as the intermediate layer. Can suppress excessive pressing force on the intermediate layer having a lower strength than the glass layer.

In the present embodiment, the first support portion 18 of the panel support member 16 serving as the plate-like body support member is provided with a recess 36 at a force point, and a restraint body hook 35 is installed in the recess 36. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and by providing a larger number of recesses 36, the restraint hooks 35 may be installed at a number of locations. By providing a large number of recesses 36, a large number of restraint hooks can be provided correspondingly. The same applies to the through hole 60 of the second support portion 20. By providing a large number of recesses 36, the elastic expansion / contraction cord 46 can be taken out to the front surface of the second support portion 20 in accordance with the length of the second side end portion 14 of the glass unit 12. In other words, by providing the panel support member 16 with a large number of the recesses 36 and the through holes 60, it is possible to bridge the restraint more appropriately according to the dimensions of the glass unit.

[0039] When the glass unit 12 is, for example, a multilayer glass, it is preferable to use a restraining body having a width wider than the thickness of the intermediate layer of the multilayer glass. Then, the pressing force acts on the outer glass layer as well as the intermediate layer. Therefore, the strength is usually lower than that of the glass layer, and it is possible to suppress the pressing force from acting on the intermediate layer excessively.
