The article fastener according to this embodiment has a downward hook portion on one side that can be attached to a fixed body such as a net display unit, and has at least two upper and lower upward hook portions on the other side that support articles. The article fastener is a multi-purpose hook with hook portions on both sides.

[0021] 1 to 9 are diagrams showing an example of an article fastening device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The article fastening device 1 according to this embodiment comprises a base body 2. The base body 2 extends in the vertical direction (Z direction in the drawings) from an upper end portion 3 to a lower end portion 4, and comprises a front surface 5 and a back surface 6. The base body 2 is made of, for example, resin. The article fastening device 1 may be a resin molded product.

[0022] The article fastener 1 includes a first upward hook portion 7 that extends from the surface 5 of the base body 2 facing the surface 5 at a predetermined interval and is capable of supporting an article. The first upward hook portion 7 extends from the lower end portion 4 of the base body 2 facing the surface 5. The first upward hook portion 7 is a pair of left and right hook portions (a left hook portion 9 and a right hook portion 11) separated by a first gap 8 in the width direction (X direction in the drawing). The first gap 8 is located approximately at the center of the base body 2 in the width direction, and the pair of left and right hook portions 9, 11 may be symmetrical.

[0023] The base 2 comprises, from the lower end side to the upper end side, a first thick portion 12 with a recessed rear surface, a flat first thin portion 13, a second thick portion 14 with a recessed rear surface, and a flat second thin portion 15. Here, the terms "thick" and "thin" refer to the thickness of the article fastener 1 in the front-to-rear direction (Y direction in the drawing).

[0024] The first upward hook portion 7 has a forward extension portion 17 that rises substantially vertically from the surface 16 of the first thick portion 12 of the lower end portion 4 of the base body 2, and an upward extension portion 18 that extends substantially vertically upward from the forward extension portion 17, and has a substantially L-shaped upward shape. The first upward hook portion 7 forms a first holding portion 19 that can place or hook various articles between the surface 5 of the base body 2 and the first upward hook portion 7 due to the gap formed between the surface 16 by the forward extension portion 17 and the upward extension portion 18. The first upward hook portion 7 can hold an article, such as a horizontal bar, by the first holding portion 19.

[0025] The first upward hook portion 7 has a protrusion 22 protruding toward the surface 16 on an inner surface 21 of the first holding portion 19 that faces the surface 16 of the first thick portion 12 of the base 2. The protrusion 22 extends across the entire width of the first upward hook portion 7. The protrusion 22 is not limited to extending across the entire width, and one or more protrusions 22 may be scattered in the width direction.

[0026] A first gap 8 between the pair of left and right hook portions 9, 11 of the first upward hook portion 7 forms a first article engaging groove 23 capable of engaging with an article. The first article engaging groove 23 is formed by a right side surface 24 of the left hook portion 9, a left side surface 25 of the right hook portion 11, and a bottom surface 26 of the first gap 8 (surface 16 of the first thick portion 12).

[0027] The base body 2 has a first step portion 27 that extends gently from the first thick portion 12 to the first thin portion 13. The first step portion 27 is not limited to a gentle incline, and may be a steep step.

[0028] The first thin portion 13 has a first semi-cylindrical portion 28 that is approximately semi-cylindrical and protrudes forward and extends in the vertical direction at the approximately center in the width direction. A surface 29 of the first semi-cylindrical portion 28 does not protrude forward further than a surface 16 of the first thick portion 12.

[0029] The article fastener 1 includes a second upward hook portion 31 that extends from the surface 5 of the base body 2 facing the surface 5 at a predetermined interval and is capable of supporting an article. The second upward hook portion 31 is located at a different position from the first upward hook portion 7 in the vertical direction. The second upward hook portion 31 extends from the surface 5 facing the surface 5 between the upper end portion 3 and the lower end portion 4 of the base body 2. The second upward hook portion 31 is a pair of left and right hook portions (a left hook portion 33 and a right hook portion 34) separated by a second gap 32 in the width direction. The second gap 32 is located approximately at the center of the width direction of the base body 2, and the pair of left and right hook portions 33, 34 may be symmetrical.

[0030] The second upward hook portion 31 has a forward extension portion 36 that rises substantially vertically from the surface 35 of the second thick portion 14, and an upward extension portion 37 that extends substantially vertically upward from the forward extension portion 36, and has a substantially L-shaped upward shape. The forward extension portion 36 rises forward from the surface 5 of the base body 2 between the first thin portion 13 and the second thick portion 14. The second upward hook portion 31 forms a second holding portion 38 that can place or hook various articles between the surface 5 of the base body 2 and the second upward hook portion 31 due to the gap formed between the surface 35 by the forward extension portion 36 and the upward extension portion 18. The second upward hook portion 31 can hold an article, such as a horizontal bar, by the second holding portion 38.

[0031] The base body 2 has a second step portion 39 that extends gently from the second thick portion 14 to the second thin portion 15. The second step portion 39 is not limited to a gentle incline, and may be a steep step.

[0032] The second thin-walled portion 15 has a second semi-cylindrical portion 41, which is approximately at the center in the width direction and has a generally semi-cylindrical shape that protrudes forward and extends in the up-down direction. A surface 42 of the second semi-cylindrical portion 41 does not protrude forward beyond a surface 35 of the second thick-walled portion 14. The second semi-cylindrical portion 41 is aligned with the first semi-cylindrical portion 28 in the up-down direction and is coaxial with the first semi-cylindrical portion 28. The second semi-cylindrical portion 41 may be shorter than the upper end portion 3 of the base 2, but may also extend to the vicinity of the upper end portion 3 of the base 2.

[0033] The second upward hook portion 31 has a protrusion 44 protruding toward the surface 35 on an inner surface 43 of the second holding portion 38 that faces the surface 35 of the second thick portion 14 of the base 2. The protrusion 44 extends over the entire width of the second upward hook portion 31. The protrusion 44 is not limited to extending over the entire width, and one or more protrusions 44 may be scattered in the width direction.

[0034] The second gap 32 between the pair of left and right hooks 33, 34 of the second upward hook 31 forms a second article engaging groove 45 that can engage with an article. The second article engaging groove 45 is formed by a right side surface 46 of the left hook 33, a left side surface 47 of the right hook 34, and a bottom surface 48 of the second gap 32 (surface 35 of the second thick portion 14).

[0035] The first gap 8 between the pair of left and right hooks 9, 11 of the first upward hook 7 and the second gap 32 between the pair of left and right hooks 33, 34 of the second upward hook 31 are aligned in the vertical direction and form article engaging grooves 23, 45 that can engage with an article. The article engaging grooves 23, 45 can engage with, for example, a vertical bar of an article.

[0036] The article fastener 1 has a downward hook portion 49 that extends from the back surface 6 of the base body 2 facing the back surface 6 at a predetermined interval and can be attached to a fixed body such as a net fixture. The downward hook portion 49 is curved in a substantially inverted U shape from the front surface 5 of the base body 2 toward the back surface 6 at the second thin portion 15 of the upper end portion 3 of the base body 2, and extends facing the back surface 6. The downward hook portion 49 is a pair of left and right hook portions (a left hook portion 52 and a right hook portion 53) separated by a third gap 51 in the width direction. The downward hook portion 49 includes a first inclined portion 54 that is inclined from the back surface 6 of the base body 2 toward the back surface 6, and a second inclined portion 55 that is inclined from the first inclined portion 54 to move away from the back surface 6. The first inclined portion 54 and the second inclined portion 55 form the downward hook portion 49 that is narrowed in a substantially dogleg shape with respect to the back surface 6 of the base body 2. The downward hook portion 49 forms an attachment portion 56 between the rear surface 6 of the base 2 and the downward hook portion 49, which can be attached to a fixed object such as a fixture.

[0037] As shown in Figs. 2 and 4, the back surface 6 of the base 2 is formed with a fixture engagement groove 57 that is aligned with the third gap 51 in the vertical direction and can engage with a fixture. The fixture engagement groove 57 can engage with, for example, a vertical bar of the fixture. The fixture engagement groove 57 is composed of a substantially semicircular hole 59 formed in a bottom portion 58 on the back surface side of the first thick portion 12, a first semicylindrical groove 61 on the back surface side of the first semicylindrical portion 28 of the first thin portion 13, and a second semicylindrical groove 62 on the back surface side of the second semicylindrical portion 41 of the second thin portion 15. The hole 59, the first semicylindrical groove 61, and the second semicylindrical groove 62 are aligned in the vertical direction.

[0038] 10 to 19, examples of various usage forms of the article fastener 1 of this embodiment will be described. The article fastener 1 can support an article, which is a basket-shaped member or a plate-shaped member equipped with a storage section, by means of the upward hook parts 7, 31.

[0039] [Usage form 1] As shown in Fig. 10, the article fastener 1 is attached to the net fixture 101 by the downward hook portion 49 on the back side. The net fixture 101 is a lattice-like body including horizontal bars and vertical bars. By fitting the downward hook portion 49 into the horizontal bar 102 of the net fixture 101 from above, the attachment portion 56 (see Figs. 1, 2, 5 and 8) is attached to the horizontal bar 102, and the article fastener 1 can be easily attached to the net fixture 101. The downward hook portion 49 is constricted in an approximately dogleg shape with respect to the back surface 6 of the base 2 by the first inclined portion 54 and the second inclined portion 55 (see Figs. 1, 2, 5 and 8), so that once fitted, it is unlikely to come off the horizontal bar 102 unexpectedly.

[0040] In the article fastening device 1a shown on the right side of Fig. 10, the vertical bar 103 of the net fixture 101 is fitted into the fixture engagement groove 57 (see Figs. 2 and 4) extending vertically on the back side, and can support the vertical bar 103 of the net fixture 101. Since the vertical bar is located forward of the horizontal bar in the net fixture 101, the vertical bar 103 is supported by abutting against the hole 59 of the fixture engagement groove 57, the first semi-cylindrical groove 61, and the second semi-cylindrical groove 62 (see Figs. 2 and 4). When the vertical rod 103 of the net fixture 101 is not fitted into the fixture engagement groove 57, as in article fastener 1b shown on the left side of Figure 10, article fastener 1b can slide widthwise relative to the horizontal rod 102, but when the vertical rod 103 of the net fixture 101 is fitted into the fixture engagement groove 57, as in article fastener 1a shown on the right side of Figure 10, the widthwise movement of article fastener 1a is restricted relative to the horizontal rod 102, and the article fastener 1a is more securely fixed to the net fixture 101.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 10, the article fastener 1 can support the basket 104 by the first upward hook portion 7 and the second upward hook portion 31 on the front side. The basket 104 is a cage-shaped member with a storage section, and is a lattice-shaped body with horizontal and vertical bars. For example, the horizontal bars 105 and 106 of the basket 104 are fitted from above into the first upward hook portion 7 and the second upward hook portion 31, respectively, and can support the horizontal bars 105 and 106 of the basket 104. Furthermore, the vertical bars 107 and 108 of the basket 104 are engaged with the article engagement grooves 23 and 45 on the front side, respectively, and can support the vertical bars 107 and 108 of the basket 104. As a result, the basket 104 is fixed in the width direction as well, and movement in the width direction is also restricted.

[0042] When the horizontal bars 105, 106 of the basket 104 are fitted into the first upward hook portion 7 and the second upward hook portion 31 of the article fastener 1, respectively, the horizontal bars 105, 106 climb over the protrusions 22, 44 (see Figs. 1, 2, 5 and 8) and are held by the first holding portion 19 and the second holding portion 38 (see Figs. 1, 2, 5 and 8). The horizontal bars 105, 106 are stably held by the first holding portion 19 and the second holding portion 38 in a state of abutting against the protrusions 22, 44, respectively.

[0043] [Usage form 2] As shown in Figures 11 to 19, the article fastening device 1 can be attached to the net fixture 109 by the downward hook portion 49 on the back side. By fitting the downward hook portion 49 into the horizontal bar 111 of the net fixture 109 from above, the mounting portion 56 (see Figures 1, 2, 5 and 8) is attached to the horizontal bar 111, and the article fastening device 1 can be easily attached to the net fixture 109. The downward hook portion 49 is constricted in a roughly dogleg shape relative to the back surface 6 of the base 2 by the first inclined portion 54 and the second inclined portion 55 (see Figures 1, 2, 5 and 8), so that once fitted, it is unlikely to come off the horizontal bar 111 unexpectedly.

[0044] In the article fastening device 1 shown in Figs. 11 to 19, the vertical bar 112 of the net fixture 109 is clamped in the third gap 51 in the width direction of the downward hook portion 49, and the vertical bar 112 of the net fixture 109 can be supported. In the net fixture 109, the horizontal bar is located forward of the vertical bar, so that when the downward hook portion 49 is attached to the horizontal bar 111 of the net fixture 109, the vertical bar 112 is disposed in the third gap 51. As shown in Figs. 13, 15, 17 and 19, the first inclined portion 54 and the second inclined portion 55 (see Figs. 1, 2, 5 and 8) of the downward hook portion 49 come into contact with the vertical bar 112 of the net fixture 109, thereby restricting movement in the width direction and more securely fixing the net fixture 109.

[0045] As shown in Figs. 11 to 15, the article fastener 1 can support a net shelf 113 by the second upward hook portion 31 on the front side. The net shelf 113 is a plate-like member, and is a lattice-like body having horizontal bars and vertical bars. For example, two article fasteners 1 can be attached to each of two net fixtures 109, and the horizontal bars 114, 115 of the net shelf 113 can be fitted into the second upward hook portion 31, thereby placing the net shelf 113 between the net fixtures 109. Similarly, the article fastener 1 can support the net shelf 113 by the first upward hook portion 7 on the front side, as shown in Figs. 16 to 19. For example, by attaching two item fasteners 1 to each of two net fixtures 109 and fitting the cross bars 114, 115 of the net shelf 113 into the first upward hook portions 7, a net shelf 113 can be placed between the net fixtures 109.

[0046] When the horizontal bars 114, 115 of the net shelf 113 are fitted into the second upward hook portion 31 of the article fastener 1, the horizontal bars 114, 115 each climb over the protrusion 44 and are held by the second holding portion 38. As shown in Figures 13 and 15, the horizontal bars 114, 115 are each stably held by the second upward hook portion 31 by the second holding portion 38 in a state of abutting against the protrusion 44.

[0047] When the horizontal bars 114, 115 of the net shelf 113 are fitted into the first upward hook portion 7 of the article fastener 1, the horizontal bars 114, 115 climb over the protrusions 22 and are held by the first holding portions 19. As shown in Figs. 17 and 19, the horizontal bars 114, 115 are stably held by the first upward hook portion 7 by the first holding portions 19 while abutting against the protrusions 22.

[0048] The effects of the embodiments of the present invention will be described below. According to this embodiment, the article fastener includes a base body extending in the vertical direction and having a front surface and a back surface, a first upward hook portion extending from the front surface of the base body facing the front surface and capable of supporting an article, a second upward hook portion located at a position different from the first upward hook portion in the vertical direction, extending from the front surface of the base body facing the front surface and capable of supporting an article, and a downward hook portion extending from the back surface of the base body facing the back surface and capable of being attached to a fixture. The downward hook portion on the back surface side allows the article fastener to be attached to a fixed body such as a net fixture, and further, the first upward hook portion and the second upward hook portion on the front surface side allow the article fastener to support various articles, providing a highly convenient article fastener.

[0049] The downward hook portion extends from the upper end of the base body facing the back surface. The first upward hook portion extends from the lower end of the base body facing the front surface. The second upward hook portion extends from the front surface facing the front surface between the upper end and the lower end. The downward hook portion is located at the upper end of the base body, making it easy to handle and attach to a fixed body such as a net display. In addition, the first upward hook portion at the lower end and the second upward hook portion between the upper end and the lower end can support various articles, providing a highly convenient article fastener. Various applications are possible, such as supporting an article only with the first upward hook portion, supporting an article only with the second upward hook portion, supporting the same article simultaneously with the first upward hook portion and the second upward hook portion, or supporting different articles simultaneously with the first upward hook portion and the second upward hook portion.

[0050] The downward hook portion is attached to the horizontal bar of the fixture. The downward hook portion allows easy attachment and detachment to the horizontal bar of the fixture, making it easy to handle. The first upward hook portion and the second upward hook portion support the horizontal bar of the item. The upward hook portion allows easy attachment and detachment to the horizontal bar of the item, making it easy to handle. It can hold a variety of items, such as the horizontal bar of a basket or the horizontal bar of a net shelf.

[0051] The first upward hook portion is a pair of left and right hook portions separated by a first gap, and the second upward hook portion is a pair of left and right hook portions separated by a second gap. The left and right hook portions can be used separately, which is highly convenient.

[0052] The first gap of the first upward hook portion and the second gap of the second upward hook portion are aligned in the vertical direction to form an article engagement groove that can engage with an article. The article engagement groove engages with the vertical rod of the article. By the vertical article engagement groove engaging with the vertical rod of the article, the article can be supported by the upward hook portion and the article can be held more securely. Movement in the width direction can be restricted, providing excellent stability when holding an article.

[0053] The downward hook portions are a pair of left and right hook portions separated by a third gap, with which a fixture can engage. A fixture engagement groove is formed on the back surface of the base, which is aligned in the vertical direction with the third gap and which can engage with the fixture. The third gap or the fixture engagement groove engages with the vertical bar of the fixture. By the third gap or the vertical fixture engagement groove engaging with the vertical bar of the fixture, in addition to attaching the fixture to the horizontal bar with the downward hook portions, the vertical bar can also be more securely attached to the fixture. Movement in the width direction can be restricted, providing excellent stability when attached to the fixture.

[0054] The downward hook portion includes a first inclined portion inclined from the back surface of the base toward the back surface, and a second inclined portion inclined from the first inclined portion away from the back surface. The first inclined portion and the second inclined portion form a hook portion that is constricted in a generally dogleg shape relative to the back surface of the base. An article fastener that can be firmly fixed to a fixture and is unlikely to come off unexpectedly can be provided.

[0055] The first upward hook portion and the second upward hook portion are provided with protrusions protruding toward the surface on the inner surface facing the surface of the base body. The presence of the protrusions makes it possible to provide an article fastener that can hold an article more reliably.

[0056] The article supported by the article fastener can be a basket or a net shelf with a storage section. The upward hook of the article fastener can hold a basket or a net shelf with a horizontal bar, and the article engagement groove between the pair of left and right hooks of the upward hook can hold a basket or a net shelf with a vertical bar. An article fastener that can be used to support various articles can be provided.

[0057] For example, in conventional products where a dedicated hook is welded to a basket, the hook becomes an obstacle when stacking baskets, making it difficult to compress them during packaging, and there are not a few problems with the hook breaking during transportation. The article fastener according to the present embodiment is detachable from the article, so it does not reduce the packaging efficiency of articles such as baskets, and as a result, the transportation cost of the article can be reduced. The problem of breakage during transportation is also solved.

[0058] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, various modifications and changes are possible within the scope of the present invention. Although the upward hook portion has been described as having two stages, the upward hook portion may have two or more stages. The vertical positions of the upward hook portion and the downward hook portion are not limited to the upper end portion or the lower end portion. Although the back surface of the base body of the article fastener (the back surface of the first thick portion and the second thick portion) has been described as being concave, it does not have to be concave. The base body of the article fastener is not limited to the one described above, and may be a flat base body having a generally uniform thickness.
