Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hardware accessories technology, specifically to a glass shelf clamp. Background Technology

[0002] A glass shelf support is a furniture hardware accessory used in cabinets to support glass shelves. A traditional glass shelf support consists of two parts: a glass shelf support nut and a glass shelf nail. The support nut is a nut with internal threads that is embedded in the side panel and back panel of the cabinet for fixation. Then, a nail with external threads is screwed onto the support nut, and a glass shelf is placed on top of the nail. This supports the glass shelf but does not fix the glass. When people take items out or put them in, the glass shelf can easily move horizontally and slip down, causing the glass shelf to break.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese invention patent, CN103431664A, for a furniture glass shelf support. This shelf support includes an L-shaped bracket with an arc-shaped connecting part at the inner apex of the L-shaped bracket. A fixing post is connected to the outer side of the L-shaped bracket, and a rubber suction cup is fixed to the upper end of the L-shaped bracket. A fastening block connected to the upper end of the L-shaped bracket is provided on the outer side of the bottom of the rubber suction cup. It can be seen that although it can support and hold the glass shelf, the suction force of the suction cup is not strong and stable enough, which leads to the risk of the glass shelf slipping.

[0004] Based on the above, this utility model proposes a glass shelf clamp. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background above, this utility model provides a glass shelf clamp.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows.

[0007] A glass shelf clamp includes a U-shaped outer clamp and a U-shaped inner silicone pad. The outer clamp has a bottom groove on the side away from the U-shaped opening. A connector extends vertically from the bottom of the bottom groove for connecting to a furniture side panel. The bottom of the bottom groove also has two through holes located on both sides of the connector.

[0008] An clearance hole is provided on the side of the U-shaped inner silicone pad away from the U-shaped opening. The clearance hole and the connector form an interference fit. The U-shaped inner silicone pad is installed in the U-shaped outer clamp body on the side of the U-shaped outer clamp body away from the U-shaped opening through the two through holes.

[0009] The side of the U-shaped outer clamp is also provided with mounting holes, which are connected to the U-shaped space inside the U-shaped outer clamp. Bolts are installed in the mounting holes.

[0010] As a further improvement and optimization of this utility model, the inner wall of the U-shaped space of the U-shaped outer clamp is provided with a side groove, a pressure plate is slidably installed in the side groove, and the mounting hole is set at the bottom of the side groove.

[0011] As a further improvement and optimization of this utility model, the bolt thread is installed in the mounting hole and the end of the bolt forms a rotating connection with the pressure plate.

[0012] As a further improvement and optimization of this utility model, the bolt is rotatably installed in the mounting hole, the bolt is hollow inside and threaded with a threaded cam, and the threaded cam is fixedly connected to the pressure plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This solution uses a U-shaped inner silicone pad to contact the glass shelf, and uses bolts to push the U-shaped inner silicone pad to hold the glass shelf in place. This can support and fix the glass shelf at the same time, and the silicone material is not likely to damage the glass shelf.

[0015] Furthermore, through two perforations, the inner silicone pad of the U-shaped clamp is installed inside the U-shaped outer clamp on the side of the U-shaped outer clamp away from the U-shaped opening. The advantage of doing this is that, through the interference fit between the clearance hole and the joint, the inner silicone pad of the U-shaped clamp can be initially restricted inside the U-shaped outer clamp, preventing the inner silicone pad of the U-shaped clamp from shifting inside the U-shaped outer clamp when this glass shelf clamp is used. In addition, the inner silicone pad of the U-shaped clamp is in contact with the side panel of the furniture, which can prevent the side panel of the furniture from being scratched by the metal U-shaped outer clamp.

[0016] Furthermore, the pressure plate design increases the pressure area between the U-shaped inner silicone pad and the glass shelf when pressing the glass shelf, making the glass shelf less prone to damage. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Reference Figures 1-3 A glass shelf clamp includes a U-shaped outer clamp 1 and a U-shaped inner silicone pad 2.

[0027] The U-shaped outer clamp 1 has a bottom groove 101 on the side away from the U-shaped opening. The bottom of the bottom groove 101 has a connector 4 extending vertically. The connector 4 is used to connect with the side panel of the furniture. For example, if a hole is drilled in the side panel of the furniture, the connector 4 is inserted into the hole. The bottom of the bottom groove 101 also has two through holes 102, which are located on both sides of the connector 4.

[0028] The U-shaped inner silicone pad 2 can be directly inserted into the U-shaped outer clamp 1 through the U-shaped opening. Alternatively, a clearance hole can be made on the side of the U-shaped inner silicone pad 2 away from the U-shaped opening. The clearance hole and the connector 4 form an interference fit. The U-shaped inner silicone pad 2 is installed in the U-shaped outer clamp 1 on the side away from the U-shaped opening through the two through holes 102. The advantage of this is that the interference fit between the clearance hole and the connector 4 can initially restrict the U-shaped inner silicone pad 2 inside the U-shaped outer clamp 1, preventing the U-shaped inner silicone pad 2 from shifting inside the U-shaped outer clamp 1 when the glass shelf clamp is used. In addition, the U-shaped inner silicone pad 2 is in contact with the side panel of the furniture, which can prevent the side panel of the furniture from being scratched by the metal U-shaped outer clamp 1.

[0029] The main function of the aforementioned soft adhesive is to buffer the direct contact between the clamped glass and the zinc alloy, preventing damage to the glass from direct contact. At the same time, because the soft adhesive has good adsorption properties, the connection between the glass and the glass clamp has better firmness and stability.

[0030] The side of the U-shaped outer clamp 1 is also provided with a mounting hole, which is connected to the U-shaped space inside the U-shaped outer clamp 1. A bolt 3 is installed in the thread of the mounting hole.

[0031] The usage process of Example 1 is specifically as follows:

[0032] After assembling the glass shelf clamp, insert the connector 4 into the hole on the side panel of the furniture, then insert the glass shelf into the U-shaped inner silicone pad 2, and finally tighten the bolt 3 with a screwdriver or other tools. The bolt 3 will push against the U-shaped inner silicone pad 2, so that the U-shaped inner silicone pad 2 and the glass shelf are tightly fitted, thereby clamping the glass shelf without damaging the clamping position of the glass shelf.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] In the first embodiment, the contact area between the bolt 3 and the U-shaped inner silicone pad 2 is relatively small. When tightening, the pressure applied to the U-shaped inner silicone pad 2 is relatively large, which in turn applies a large pressure to the glass layer. If the glass strength is insufficient or the user tightens the bolt 3 too hard, the glass layer is still prone to breakage. Therefore, the second embodiment is proposed.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The inner wall of the U-shaped space of the U-shaped outer clamp 1 is provided with a side groove, and a pressure plate 5 is slidably installed in the side groove. The mounting hole is set at the bottom of the side groove, and a driving component is set in the mounting hole to drive the pressure plate 5 to move. The pressure plate 5 applies pressure to the U-shaped inner silicone pad 2. The contact area between the U-shaped inner silicone pad 2 and the pressure plate 5 is larger. Therefore, compared with the bolt 3, it is less likely to cause the glass layer to break, and the clamping effect on the glass layer is better.

[0036] There are two types of drive components:

[0037] Firstly, refer to Figure 4 The driving component includes a bolt 3 threaded into a mounting hole, and the end of the bolt 3 is rotatably connected to the pressure plate 5.

[0038] Secondly, refer to Figure 5 The driving component includes a bolt 3 that is rotatably installed in a mounting hole. The bolt 3 is hollow inside and has a threaded cam 6 threadedly installed. The threaded cam 6 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 5.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
