Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a line rail, which is a wall-mounted member for holding and displaying objects such as interior decorations and daily necessities, and a mounting structure for its attachments. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, in order to design interiors, line rails are installed to display, arrange, and store daily necessities and furnishings without interfering with the movement of residents. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a system in which a rail member is attached to an inner wall surface and daily necessities and furnishings are displayed through the rail member, in which daily necessities are hung by hangers made of a shelf board and a hanger body. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Publication No. 61-107377 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the long body described in the document generally has a hanger body or the like inserted into a groove in the center along the longitudinal direction, and the long body must be slid from both ends during the insertion operation, making the insertion and fixing extremely troublesome. In addition, the long body must have grooves and openings for hanging on the shelf board, which increases its thickness, which has the disadvantage of affecting the design of the room.

[0005] Therefore, there has been a demand for a line rail that allows users to install and fix attachments using simple means and has a shape with a minimized vertical width so as not to interfere with the interior design. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an attachment structure for a line rail that is provided on a wall surface inside a room and enables the attachment of an attachment for holding an object to be attached, the attachment comprising: a line rail main body having a predetermined length; an attachment having an attachment clamping portion that is joined to either an upper or lower surface of the line rail main body; and an auxiliary tool having an auxiliary clamping portion that is joined to either an upper or lower surface of the line rail main body, and characterized in having a manual fastener that fixes the attachment and the auxiliary tool in a state in which the line rail main body is clamped between the attachment clamping portion and the auxiliary clamping portion.

[0007] In addition to the above-mentioned configuration, it is preferable that the line rail main body has an upper surface having a concave-convex shape and a lower surface having a concave-convex shape that is vertically symmetrical with the upper surface, and at least one of the attachment clamping portion and the auxiliary clamping portion has a shape that follows the concave-convex shape of the line rail main body.

[0008] In addition to the above-mentioned configuration, the uneven shape of the upper and lower surfaces of the line rail body preferably has a leading edge horizontal surface continuing from the edge of the front wall, a leading edge inclined surface that steeply slopes inward from the leading edge horizontal surface, a rear inclined surface that gently slopes rearward from the leading edge inclined surface and slopes outward, a rear horizontal surface that is horizontal from the rear inclined surface, and a rear wall that protrudes in a flange-like shape from the rear horizontal surface, and the leading edge horizontal surface and the rear horizontal surface are preferably flush with each other.

[0009] In addition to the above-mentioned configuration, it is preferable that the attachment has an opposing clamping portion opposing the attachment clamping portion, and that the attachment clamping portion and the opposing clamping portion are horizontal surfaces. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to the invention described in claim 1, the attachment can be fixed to the line rail body simply by clamping the attachment and the clamping part of the auxiliary tool to the line rail body and fixing it with a manual fixing tool. It becomes possible for the user to fix the attachment to the line rail body in a simple manner without sliding it in from the side. In addition, since the attachment is fixed by clamping, there is no longitudinal groove, and it is possible to provide a line hanger with a pleasing appearance with a small vertical width.

[0011] In addition, according to the invention described in claim 2, the upper and lower concave and convex shapes match, so there is no risk of the user accidentally installing it upside down, and the user can easily fix it to the wall surface.

[0012] According to the invention described in claim 3, the uneven shape has horizontal parts on the tip side and rear side, and a steeply inclined recessed part is formed on the tip side. As a result, if one of the clamping parts has a convex part that engages with the recessed part, it can be held on the steeply inclined surface as an attachment of a predetermined weight. Furthermore, since there is a horizontal surface on the tip side and rear side, the clamping part on the opposite side to the clamping part having the convex part can be held even on a horizontal surface, making it easy to insert and realize simple fixation.

[0013] Furthermore, according to the invention described in claim 4, since the attachment has an attachment clamping portion and an opposing clamping portion, both of which are horizontal surfaces, temporary fixation can be performed once and the user can fix it with an auxiliary tool having a convex portion, making it possible to easily fix it with a simple configuration.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] A shelf according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the mounting structure of the line rail and the attachment is fixed by a line rail main body 2 having a predetermined length and projecting in the longitudinal direction, an auxiliary device 10 that fits into one of the upper and lower surfaces of the line rail main body 2, an attachment 20 that abuts against the other surface, and a manual fixing device 30. The longitudinal direction of the line rail main body 2 is called the left and right, the side where the attachment 20 is mounted is called the front (tip), and the opposite side is called the rear. The attachment 20 is used for objects such as daily necessities and exhibits, and depending on the form of the attachment 20, it is placed on a plate-like object or engaged with a circular object surrounding the periphery to hold the object.

[0016] As shown in Fig. 2, the line rail body 2 is made of an alloy that protrudes in the left-right direction and is a rod-shaped body with a predetermined longitudinal length. The upper surface 3 and lower surface 4 of the line rail body 2 have a vertically symmetrical shape and have an uneven shape as described below. The line rail body 2 has a rear wall 5 and a front wall 6, and countersunk holes are appropriately opened from the front wall 6 to the rear wall 5 along the longitudinal direction, and the rear wall 5 of the line rail body 2 is fixed to the wall surface of the room by inserting fasteners 7, 7 such as fixing nails or screws and embedding them into the wall surface.

[0017] The concrete uneven shape of the upper surface 3 and the lower surface 4 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3(a), the upper surface has a leading horizontal surface 3a extending horizontally backward from the upper end of the front wall 6, a leading inclined surface 3b sloping sharply downward (inward) from the rear end of the leading horizontal surface 3a, a rear inclined surface 3c sloping gently upward from the rear end of the leading inclined surface 3b, and a rear horizontal surface 3d sloping horizontally backward from the rear end of the rear inclined surface 3c. The rear wall 5 is formed by extending upward from the rear horizontal surface 3d in a flange shape. The leading horizontal surface 3a and the rear horizontal surface 3d are formed on the same plane. In this way, a convex shape is formed by the front wall, the leading horizontal surface 3a, and the leading inclined surface 3b, and a concave shape is formed between the two horizontal surfaces 3a and 3d by the leading inclined surface 3b and the rear inclined surface 3c.

[0018] The concave and convex shape of the lower surface 4 is symmetrical to the upper surface 3 and has the same shape. That is, it has a leading horizontal surface 4a that extends horizontally backward from the lower end of the front wall 6, a leading inclined surface 4b that slopes sharply upward (inward) from the rear end of the leading horizontal surface 4a, a rear inclined surface 4c that slopes gently downward from the rear end of the leading inclined surface 4b, and a rear horizontal surface 4d that slopes horizontally backward from the rear end of the rear inclined surface 4c. A rear wall 5 is formed by extending downward from the rear horizontal surface 4d in a flange-like shape. The leading horizontal surface 4a and the rear horizontal surface 4d are formed on the same plane. In this way, a convex shape is formed by the front wall, the leading horizontal surface 4a, and the leading inclined surface 4b, and a concave shape is formed between the two horizontal surfaces 4a and 4d by the leading inclined surface 4b and the rear inclined surface 4c.

[0019] In the mounting structure of the line rail and the attachment of this embodiment, the line rail main body 2 is clamped from above and below by the attachment clamping part 21 of the attachment 20 and the auxiliary clamping part 11 of the auxiliary tool 10, and the clamped state is maintained by a urea screw, which is a manual fastener 30. Either or both of the attachment clamping part 21 and the auxiliary clamping part 11 are formed with a shape corresponding to the uneven shape of the upper surface 3 and the lower surface 4 of the line rail main body 2. In this embodiment, the auxiliary clamping part 11 is formed with an uneven shape, but in other embodiments, the attachment clamping part 21 may be formed with an uneven shape, or both clamping parts 11, 21 may be formed with uneven shapes. Also, as shown in FIG. 4, in this embodiment, the auxiliary tool 10 is disposed above the line rail main body 2 and the attachment 20 is disposed below, and fixed from below by the manual fastener 30, but it is also possible to place the auxiliary tool 10 below and the attachment 20 above, and screw the manual fastener 30 in from above.

[0020] 3(b), the auxiliary tool 10 of this embodiment has an auxiliary clamping part 11 protruding rearward from the upper side of the rectangular parallelepiped base end part 12, and has a substantially L-shaped form in side view. The lower surface of the auxiliary clamping part 11 has a shape that follows the uneven shape of the upper surface 3 of the line rail main body 2. That is, in a side view, the rear surface 12a of the base end portion 12 of the auxiliary tool 10 is formed to conform to the front wall 6 of the line rail main body 2, a clamping recess 11a (concave shape) of the clamping portion 11 is formed along the leading edge horizontal surface 3a and leading edge inclined surface 3b of the upper surface 3 of the line rail main body 2, a clamping raised portion 11b (convex shape) of the clamping portion 11 is formed along the leading edge inclined surface 3b and rear inclined surface 3c of the upper surface 3 of the line rail main body 2, a horizontal portion 11c of the auxiliary clamping portion 11 is formed along the rear horizontal surface 3d of the upper surface 3 of the line rail main body 2, and a rear surface 11d of the auxiliary clamping portion 11 is formed along the rear wall 5 of the upper surface 3 of the line rail main body 2 which stands upright like a flange.

[0021] In addition, for the base end 12 of the auxiliary tool 10, an opening 13 is formed in the center of the lower surface 12b of the base end 12, where a hole is drilled with a screw cut in the vertical direction. Both side surfaces of the lower surface 12b further protrude to form drooping portions 14, 14 (see FIG. 6(a)). The lower surface 12b of the base end 12 is located on the upper surface of the attachment clamping portion 21, and the drooping portions 14, 14 on both sides are located on the left and right of the attachment clamping portion 21, preventing the attachment 20 from shifting from left to right.

[0022] The following describes how the line rail main body 2 is clamped by the auxiliary clamping part 11 and the attachment clamping part 21. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the attachment clamping part 21, which is made of a rectangular flat plate protruding from the attachment 2 of this embodiment toward the base end side, has a horizontal surface 21a at least on the rear side, and when provided on the lower surface 4 of the line rail main body 2, is located along the front horizontal surface 4a and the rear horizontal surface 4d. Furthermore, the rear end surface of the attachment clamping part 21 reaches the flange-shaped rear wall 5.

[0023] With the attachment clamping portion 21 provided on the underside 4 of the line rail main body 2, the auxiliary clamping portion 11 of the auxiliary tool 10 is provided from above so as to be located on the upper surface 3 of the line rail main body 2. In this state, the clamping recess 11a (concave shape) of the auxiliary tool clamping portion 11 engages with the convex shape consisting of the front wall 6, the leading end horizontal surface 3a, and the leading end inclined surface 3b of the line rail main body 2, the clamping raised portion 11b (convex shape) of the auxiliary clamping portion 11 engages with the concave shape consisting of the leading end inclined surface 3b and the rear inclined surface 3c of the line rail main body 2, and the horizontal portion 11c and the rear surface of the auxiliary clamping portion 11 engage with the rear horizontal surface 3d and the flange-shaped rear wall 5 of the line rail main body 2.

[0024] The concave and convex shapes of the line rail main body 2 and the auxiliary tool 10 engage with each other, so that the attachment 20 can be firmly fixed without coming off when clamped. That is, when an object is held at the tip of the attachment 20, a force is applied to the tip side in a downward direction, but the steeply inclined tip inclined surface 3b and the corresponding clamping protuberance 11b of the auxiliary tool 10 make it possible for the tip side to resist the force of falling downward.

[0025] In addition, the rear surface 11d of the auxiliary clamping portion 11 is aligned along the flange-shaped rear wall 5 at the rear of the line rail main body 2, and the rear end of the attachment clamping portion 11 is also aligned along the flange-shaped rear wall 5 at the rear of the line rail main body 2. Furthermore, the rear surface 12a of the base end portion 12 is aligned along the front wall 6 at the tip side of the line rail main body 2. This makes it easy to position the auxiliary tool 10 and the attachment 20 in front of (the tip side) and behind the line rail main body 2.

[0026] The length between the side edges 21b, 21b of the attachment clamping portion 21 is approximately the same as the length between the two hanging portions 14, 14 formed on the base end portion 12 of the auxiliary tool 10. Due to this configuration, when the attachment clamping portion 21 is provided on the underside 4 of the line rail main body 2 and the clamping portion 11 of the auxiliary tool 10 is provided on the upper surface 3 of the line rail main body 2 and clamped from above, the attachment clamping portion 21 is provided between the hanging portions 14, 14 of the base end portion 12 and is stably joined to the underside 4 without shifting in the left-right direction.

[0027] Furthermore, an opening 22 is formed on the tip side of the attachment clamping part 21, penetrating vertically. The opening 22 is located in a position communicating with the opening 13 of the above-mentioned auxiliary tool 10, and when the clamping part 11 of the auxiliary tool 10 and the clamping part 21 of the attachment 20 are clamped from above and below the line rail main body 2, the clamped state can be fixed by screwing in a fixing device 30 consisting of a urea screw. In this way, it becomes possible for the user to fix the line rail main body 2 by simply turning in a urea screw at a desired position, without having to insert members from the left and right sides of the line rail main body 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, the manual fastener uses a urea screw 30, which is a screw equipped with a gripping portion that can be rotated manually. By using a urea screw, the user can clamp the attachment 20 to the line rail main body 2 with the clamping portions 11, 21 and manually fix it with the urea screw 30 without using tools or the like. In conventional line hangers, the attachment must be inserted into the central groove from the side of the line rail to be fixed, which requires extremely troublesome work, but the mounting structure of the line rail and attachment of this embodiment not only allows for easy fixing by clamping with the clamping portions 11, 21 and the urea screw 30, but also allows the vertical width of the line rail main body 2 to be narrowed, providing a good appearance.

[0029] In addition, with conventional line rails, users may have attached the rail to a wall upside down, causing problems in the workplace, but the line rail body 2 of this embodiment has the same shape on the top and bottom, so it will not be upside down and the hassle of installation for users can be eliminated. Furthermore, since there are flush leading end and rear horizontal surfaces, if a convex portion is formed in one clamping part, the other clamping part can be positioned using only the horizontal surface, making it easy to fix.

[0030] Next, the form of the attachment 20 will be described. The attachment 20 is a member that is connected to the line rail main body 2 and is provided with exhibits, daily necessities, etc., and is formed by rolling and bending a thin plate, and has a uniform overall thickness. As shown in FIG. 5, there are a hook form 20a, a ring form 20b, and a ball ring form 20c. In each case, an opening 22 is formed in the attachment clamping portion 21 protruding from the holding portion 25. In addition to these, it is possible to use it by changing the form as appropriate.

[0031] Also, as shown in FIG. 6, a plate-type attachment 20d may be used. Such an attachment 20d is formed by rising from an attachment clamping portion 21 at a rising portion 23, and a holding portion 25 is formed, and an opposing clamping portion 24 is formed as a horizontal surface opposing the attachment clamping portion 21. The opposing clamping portion 24 is located above the attachment clamping portion 21 in a side view, and can be located along the horizontal surfaces 3a, 3d of the upper surface 3 of the line rail main body 2. When the attachment clamping portion 21 is located along the horizontal surfaces 4a, 4d of the lower surface 4, it can be temporarily fixed by clamping it with these. An open portion having the same shape as the clamping portion is formed above the attachment clamping portion 21, and an auxiliary tool 10 having an uneven shape can be inserted from the open portion and fixed with a manual fixing tool 30 using a urea screw.

[0032] In addition, the attachments 20 include attachments other than those described above, for example, attachments for holding mirrors, and it is also possible to arrange multiple line rail bodies 2 in parallel in the vertical direction and hang mirrors held down by the line rail bodies 2 arranged above and below.
