Description

[Technical field]

[0001] To provide a shelf board for placing flower pots, which is made in parts and can be easily assembled without using screws, pins, etc., and has light weight and strength. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there are flower pot stands whose shelves are formed as a single unit.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method of assembling shelves that uses a separate intermediate part to join the shelves.

[0004] Furthermore, as in Patent Document 1, many parts are required to assemble the shelf board, and some parts do not have the strength to easily pull out even after they are assembled. [Prior art documents] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2014-064658 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, assembling the shelves requires a lot of parts, making the work complicated. Moreover, the parts do not have any structure to prevent them from coming loose, such as tabs between them, so they can easily come loose.

[0006] On the other hand, when packaging the parts, the number of parts is large and the packaging becomes very bulky, which causes problems in various aspects such as packaging size, storage, delivery, and display.

[0007] The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and reduces the number of parts, making assembly easier. At the same time, the number of parts is reduced, and the packaging can be kept to a minimum size without being bulky. At the same time, a slope is provided in the mating convex part and concave part to make mating easier, and a slip-out prevention return is provided to firmly hold the mating. Moreover, by making the convex part box-shaped, great strength is achieved with a minimal shape. The objective of the present invention is to provide a shelf board that has a shape that prevents damage due to concentrated stress when a load is applied to the entire shelf board by making the inner corners of the concave part rounded. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is used as a shelf for placing flower pots, and is characterized in that the shelf has a convex part and a concave part, and when viewed from above, the convex part has a concave part in the center with convex parts on both sides, forming a box shape, the central concave part has a return, and the shelf concave part has a square sprout hole in the center of the concave part.

[0009] The concave shelf part has a rectangular recess with an R-shaped inner corner, so that when the centre of the recess is fitted with the turn-end of the convex shelf part, the square hole in the central convex shape of the concave shelf part and the jaw of the turn-end at the centre of the convex shelf part can be firmly hooked onto each other, providing a strong hold.

[0010] The shelf convex part is formed in a box shape and this box shape is provided on the top and bottom surfaces, for example, minimizing the amount of resin used, and having the strength to withstand when the shelf convex part and the shelf concave part are joined and a load is applied to the entire shelf. Effect of the Invention

[0011] By applying the present invention, a shelf board can be provided which is compact in size, has a small number of parts, is not bulky, can be packed, and problems in storage, delivery, display, etc. can be eliminated, and a shelf board which is lightweight and strong when assembled can be provided. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0012] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an assembled shelf according to an embodiment of the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. A step (16) is provided at one end of the shelf protruding part (1), and wall panels (11) and (12) are integrated with the tips of the ribs (10) and (15) connected to this. A flat plate (14) that is integrated with the rib shape is provided at the center of the height of the wall panels (11) and (12). A joint return (13) is provided on the central wall panel. Plates (3) and (4) are provided at one end of the shelf recess (2) to form a sloped rectangular recess. At the back of the rectangular recess is (8), and at the center are (5) and (6) which form a convex wall. (6) has a hole (7) into which a fitting bar fits. The rectangular recess corners are rounded (9). When using this, the shelf protruding part and the shelf concave part are simply pushed together to assemble them into one unit. EXAMPLES

[0014] Use it as a shelf to hold gardening flower pots. [Industrial Applicability]

[0015] It does not take up much space when packaging, storing, transporting, displaying in stores, or when consumers take it home after purchase. When assembled and used, it can be integrated without loosening, allowing flower pots and planters to be raised and used. In the future, in 2024, the logistics industry will be able to use packaging that does not take up much space, which will improve loading efficiency and lead to low carbon emissions. By using this joint structure, it is possible to expand the range of use beyond everyday items in many areas due to the compactness of the plate shape and high strength after assembly.

Claims

1. A shelf board used for a flower pot stand, the shelf board being divided to have a convex joint portion and a concave joint portion, When the above-mentioned shelf plate is viewed from above, it has a convex shape at one end and a concave shape in the center with a turnout at the center. The convex shape is connected to the step adjacent to the shelf board and has a horizontal flat plate at the center of the thickness of the convex shape, with ribs provided above and below the flat plate to form a box shape, and the rib shape slopes downward toward the ends. When viewed from above, the center has a U-shaped recess that is one step lower than the convex shape, and a protrusion is provided there to prevent it from coming loose when mated.

2. The concave shelf has an R-shape that increases the breaking strength when a load is applied to the square corners of the concave shelf, and an opening at the center of the recess where a tab is fixed to prevent it from slipping out when it is mated with the convex shelf. The recess has a slope that narrows from the entrance to the back, so that when the convex shelf and the concave shelf are inserted and mated, there is no gap and it is strong and does not loosen, and at the same time, the tab prevents it from slipping out.
