Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a frame structure, and more particularly to a frame structure configured so that a support member and a locking member can be attached to a support pillar. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, in a frame structure in which the upper ends of multiple support posts are connected by connecting rods, a configuration for locking a shelf board or the like to the support posts is known (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). In the frame structures described in these patent documents, multiple locking holes are opened in the support posts. The support posts are supported by fixing the legs to the locking plates locked in the locking holes. The patent documents also describe a configuration in which side panels and brackets for placing shelf boards are locked in the locking holes. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2008-86535 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2008-86539 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the frame structure described in the above patent document, components such as legs, side panels, brackets, etc. are attached to the support columns using locking holes opened in the support columns. However, because these components share the same locking holes when they are attached to the support columns, there are cases where the components interfere with each other and cannot be attached when using the same locking holes.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and the problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a frame structure which can increase the freedom of arrangement of the support members and locking members by enabling the support members and locking members to be attached to the supports without interfering with each other. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a frame structure having the following configuration.

[0007] (1) A frame structure including a plurality of support columns formed into a substantially rectangular shape in a cross section perpendicular to an axis and erected at a predetermined interval, and a connecting rod connecting upper ends of opposing inner surfaces of adjacent support columns to each other, wherein a mounting portion is provided along a longitudinal direction of the support column on one side perpendicular to the inner surface of the support column, the mounting portion supporting the support column and capable of mounting a support member extending in a direction intersecting the one side surface, and a plurality of locking holes capable of locking a locking member assembled to the support column and extending in a direction intersecting the one side surface are opened along the longitudinal direction of the support column at least on the side of the adjacent support column relative to the mounting portion and the support member. A frame structure in which, on one side of the support, the mounting portion is arranged protruding beyond the opening surface of the engagement hole, the support is provided with a decorative panel covering the gap between the support and an adjacent support, the surface of the decorative panel is positioned at a position protruding beyond the opening surface of the engagement hole, and the engagement hole is exposed in the space between the mounting portion and the decorative panel.

[0008] (2) The mounting surface of the mounting portion to which the support member is attached is flush with the surface of the decorative panel. The frame structure described in (1).

[0009] (3) The one side surface of at least one of the pillars has a plurality of locking holes opened along a longitudinal direction of the pillar on a side of the adjacent pillar closer to the mounting portion and the support member and on an opposite side of the adjacent pillar. (1) or (2) The frame structure according to claim 1.

[0010] (4) A frame structure described in any one of (1) to (3), wherein the mounting portion and the engagement hole are provided on the other side of the support that is opposite to the one side so as to be symmetrical to the one side. Effect of the Invention

[0011] The frame structure according to the present invention as described above has the following advantages.

[0012] According to the configuration of (1), the support member and the locking member can be attached to the support pole without interfering with each other, which improves the degree of freedom in arranging the support member and the locking member. In addition, the mounting portion and the decorative panel can make the locking holes less visible, thereby improving the design of the frame structure.

[0013] According to the configuration of (2), The mounting portion and the decorative panel make the locking holes less visible, thereby improving the design of the frame structure.

[0014] According to the configuration of (3), The locking member, which has two rows of locking pieces provided on one support pillar, can be stably locked, and when a frame structure is constructed with three or more support pillars, a support member can be attached to the intermediate support pillars and a locking member can be locked to each side of the support member.

[0015] According to the configuration of (4), the support member and the locking member can be attached also to the rear side of the frame structure. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0017] [Frame structure F] A frame structure F according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1, 2, and 10. As shown in Figures 3, 14, 16, and 18 to 20, the frame structure F is a frame body to which locking members such as a shelf board 42 and a shelf board bracket 41, a side panel 43, a back panel 45, a hanging beam 46, or a top board bracket 47 supporting a top board 48 are locked in a state supported by supporting members such as a side panel 31, a first stabilizing leg 32, a second stabilizing leg 33, or a sleeve panel 36.

[0018] The frame structure F, various support members, various locking members, and other members described in this embodiment are generally made of bent metal plates such as steel or aluminum, etc. However, it is also possible to use other materials such as wood or resin for each member as appropriate.

[0019] The frame structure F according to this embodiment includes pillars 10, 10 which are two rods arranged at a predetermined distance from each other, a connecting rod 21 connecting the upper ends of the pillars 10, 10, and a panel 22 connecting the lower parts of the pillars 10. Note that the configuration of the frame structure is not limited to the above, and it is also possible to configure three or more pillars 10 to be connected by two or more connecting rods 21 and two or more panel 22 (see Figs. 18 to 20).

[0020] 1 and 2, the connecting rod 21 is fixed to the upper ends of the opposing inner surfaces of the adjacent posts 10, 10 via fasteners such as screws. In this way, the connecting rod 21 connects the upper ends of the posts 10, 10 to each other. The connecting rod 21 is composed of a connecting body 21a and a connecting cover 21b that is placed on the upper side of the connecting body 21a.

[0021] The skirting board 22 is fixed to the lower part of the opposing inner side of the adjacent pillars 10, 10 via fasteners such as screws. As a result, the skirting board 22 connects the lower parts of the pillars 10, 10 to each other. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 2, connecting metal fittings 22a, which are thick and U-shaped in plan view, are welded to both ends of the skirting board 22, and the connecting metal fittings 22a are fixed to the pillars 10 with fasteners such as screws. In this embodiment, the skirting board 22 is attached to the pillars 10 via the connecting metal fittings 22a, thereby increasing the rigidity of the frame structure F. In addition, the pillars 10, which are the attachment points of the skirting board 22, are partially configured as double tubes.

[0022] In the frame structure F according to this embodiment, a part of the fixing point of the fascia 22 (connecting metal fitting 22a) to the support 10 is located below the upper end of the first stabilizing leg 32 or the second stabilizing leg 33 (the fixing part of the fascia 22 to the support 10 and the fixing part of the stabilizing leg overlap in the height direction) (see Figs. 1 and 3). This prevents the load from concentrating on the base part of the first stabilizing leg 32 or the second stabilizing leg 33. Also, in order to prevent the fascia 22 from blocking a general wall outlet, the position of the fascia 22 is not lowered as shown in Fig. 2, and only the connecting metal fitting 22a is extended below the fascia 22.

[0023] 10(a), the pillar 10 is formed into a substantially rectangular shape in a cross section perpendicular to the axis (horizontal cross section). The pillar 10 is formed into a cylindrical shape by joining pillar bodies 11, 11, which are plate materials bent into a C-shape in cross section, facing each other.

[0024] In the pillar 10, an attachment portion 12 is provided along the longitudinal direction of the pillar 10 on one side (both the upper and lower sides in FIG. 10(a)) perpendicular to the inner side to which the connecting rod 21 is fixed. As shown in FIG. 10(a), the attachment portion 12 is formed from a plate material bent into a C-shape in cross section. As will be described later, the attachment portion 12 is configured so that a support member for supporting the pillar 10 can be attached to it. Note that in this embodiment, the attachment portion 12 is provided along the entire length of the pillar 10, but it is also possible to configure the attachment portions 12-12 to be provided only in a portion of the pillar 10 in the longitudinal direction.

[0025] In this embodiment, the upper end of the pillar 10 (the upper ends of the pillar bodies 11·11 and the mounting portions 12·12) is covered with a pillar cover 23. Also, as shown in Figures 9 and 11, a lower end support member Hp for supporting the pillar 10 is fixed to the lower end of the pillar 10.

[0026] A plurality of locking holes 11a are formed along both sides of the mounting portion 12 on one side of the support 10. As described below, the locking holes 11a are configured to be capable of locking a locking member to be attached to the support 10. In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 10(a), the mounting portion 12 is provided protruding from the opening surface of the locking hole 11a (both the upper and lower surfaces in Fig. 10(a)). It is also possible to provide the locking holes 11a only on the connecting rod 21 side (the inside of the frame structure F) along the mounting portion 12.

[0027] As shown in Figures 10(a) and (b), in the frame structure F of this embodiment, mounting portions 12 and engagement holes 11a... are provided symmetrically on both opposing sides of the support 10 (the upper and lower sides in Figure 10(a)).

[0028] [First Example] A first embodiment of the frame structure F will be described below with reference to Figures 3 to 11. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a decorative panel 24 that closes an opening formed by the pillars 10, the connecting rod 21, and the header 22 can be attached to the frame structure F. In other words, the decorative panel 24 covers the gap between the adjacent pillars 10. In this embodiment, two decorative panels 24 are attached to each side of the frame structure F. The decorative panel 24 is attached to the frame structure F shown in Figures 3 and 4 with a wiring duct 27 fixed below the header 22.

[0029] When assembling the decorative panel 24 to the frame structure F, as shown in Figures 7 and 10(b), the engaging holes 24a of the decorative panel 24 are engaged with the engaging members 11b fixed to the inner surface (the surface to which the connecting rods 21 are attached to the posts 10) of the frame structure F. As shown by the two-dot chain line L in Figure 10(b), when the decorative panel 24 is attached to the frame structure F, the mounting surface to which the support member is attached in the mounting portion 12 and the surface of the decorative panel 24 are arranged on the same plane.

[0030] 3 and 4, an outer cover 25 can be attached to the outer end of the frame structure F (the surface opposite to the surface of the support 10 to which the connecting rod 21 is attached). When attaching the outer cover 25 to the frame structure F, as shown in FIG. 6, a fastener such as a screw is attached to the support 10, and then the fastener is inserted into a potbelly hole 25a formed in the outer cover 25.

[0031] When the decorative panel 24 is not attached to the frame structure F, as shown in Figures 12 and 13, the inner cover 26 can be assembled to the inner surface of the frame structure F. In this case, the inner cover 26 is attached to the support 10 by adhesion with adhesive, double-sided tape or hook-and-loop fastener, or by fixing with fasteners such as screws.

[0032] [Support member] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, support members for supporting the columns 10 can be attached to the mounting portions 12 of the frame structure F. Figure 3 shows a configuration in which a side panel 31 is attached to the mounting portion 12 of the column 10 shown on the left side, a first stabilizing leg 32 is attached to one mounting portion 12 of the column 10 shown on the right side, and a second stabilizing leg 33 is attached to the other mounting portion 12 as support members.

[0033] An upper end of the side panel 31 is fixed to the mounting portion 12 by an upper connecting member J1. Similarly, a lower end of the side panel 31 is fixed to the mounting portion 12 by a lower connecting member J2. As shown in Figures 5 to 7, when fixing the upper end of the side panel 31 to the mounting portion 12, the side end face of the side panel 31 is abutted against the mounting portion 12. Then, with the fixing piece of the upper connecting member J1 engaged with the fixing hole 31a of the side panel 31, the upper connecting member J1 is fixed to the support 10 using a fastener such as a screw.

[0034] 8 and 9, when fixing the lower end portion of the side panel 31 to the mounting portion 12, the lower connecting member J2 is fixed to the mounting portion 12 using a fastener such as a screw. Then, the side panel 31 is placed on the upper side of the lower connecting member J2 with the side end face of the side panel 31 abutting against the mounting portion 12, and the side panel 31 and the lower connecting member J2 are connected to each other using a fastener such as a screw.

[0035] In this manner, the frame structure F is attached to the mounting portion 12 of the pillar 10 via the upper connecting member J1 and the lower connecting member J2. That is, the side plate panel 31, which is a support member, is firmly attached to the frame structure F. The sleeve panel 36 shown in Fig. 18 is also attached to the frame structure F in the same configuration as the side plate panel 31.

[0036] As shown in Fig. 11, a first stabilizing leg 32 is attached to the mounting portion 12 of the support 10. A plurality of locking pieces 32a are formed on the first stabilizing leg 32. The locking pieces 32a are locked into the locking holes 11a of the support 10, and the first stabilizing leg 32 is fixed to the support 10 using a fastener such as a bolt with the first stabilizing leg 32 abutting against the mounting portion 12. The lower portion of the first stabilizing leg 32 is fixed to the floor surface via a first fixing member R1. It is also possible to configure the first stabilizing leg 32 not to have the locking pieces 32a, and to fix the first stabilizing leg 32 to the support 10 using only the mounting portion 12.

[0037] 11, a second stabilizing leg 32 is attached to the mounting portion 12 of the support 10 on the opposite side to the first stabilizing leg 32. The second stabilizing leg 32 is fixed to the support 10 using a fastener such as a bolt while abutting against the mounting portion 12. The second stabilizing leg 32 is covered with a leg cover 34 having a plurality of locking pieces 34a formed thereon. The leg cover 34 is attached to the support 10 by locking the locking pieces 34a into the locking holes 1a, 11a, etc. The lower part of the second stabilizing leg 33 is fixed to the floor surface via the second fixing member R2. In this manner, the first stabilizing leg 32 and the second stabilizing leg 33, which are support members, are firmly attached to the frame structure F.

[0038] [Locking member] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, locking members attached to the posts 10 are locked into the locking holes 11a in the frame structure F. Figure 3 shows a configuration in which shelf board brackets 41 supporting shelf boards 42 are locked as locking members. Note that while Figure 3 illustrates three tiers of shelf boards 42, for ease of explanation, Figure 4 omits the illustration of the upper and lower tiers of shelf boards 42 and shelf board brackets 41.

[0039] As shown in Fig. 5, three locking pieces 41a are formed on the shelf bracket 41. The shelf bracket 41 is attached to the support 10 by locking each of the locking pieces 41a into the locking holes 11a. Of the locking pieces 41a, the locking piece 41a formed at the top extends upward and is locked above the locking hole 11a, making it difficult for the shelf bracket 41 to come off the support 10. The lower end of the shelf bracket 41 is bent to form a mounting portion 41b. A shelf 42 is placed on the mounting portions 41b of the shelf brackets 41 locked to the supports 10 on both sides.

[0040] In this embodiment, when a shelf board 42 is provided at the bottom of the frame structure F, a configuration can be adopted in which one end of the shelf board 42 is supported by the first stabilizing leg 32 instead of the shelf board bracket 41. Specifically, as shown in Figures 4 and 11, two slits 32b are formed on both side surfaces of the first stabilizing leg 32. Then, a support member 35 having fixing pieces 35a formed thereon is attached to the first stabilizing leg 32 by engaging the fixing pieces 35a with the slits 32b. In this embodiment, one end of the shelf board 42 can be supported by the support member 35.

[0041] As described above, in the frame structure F according to this embodiment, one side surface of the pillar 10 is provided with an attachment portion 12 to which a support member that supports the pillar 10 can be attached, and a plurality of locking holes 11a...11a... are opened along the attachment portion 12 to which a locking member to be assembled to the pillar 10 can be locked. In this manner, in this embodiment, by separately providing the attachment portion 12 and the locking holes 11a...11a... on the pillar 10, it becomes possible to attach the support member and the locking member to the same surface of one pillar 10 without interfering with each other. In other words, the degree of freedom in arranging the support member and the locking member can be improved.

[0042] Furthermore, whereas the frame structure according to the prior art is structured so that the frame structure is supported by a desk, the frame structure F according to this embodiment is structured so that it is stably supported by supporting members such as the side panel 13, the first stabilizing leg 32, and the second stabilizing leg 33. That is, this embodiment increases the degree of freedom in the layout of the supporting members and the locking members, and at the same time makes it possible to firmly fix the frame structure F without using a support such as a desk.

[0043] In the frame structure F according to this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 10a, the mounting portion 12 is provided on one side of the support 10 so as to protrude beyond the opening surface of the locking holes 11a·11a···. The support 10 is provided with a decorative panel 24 that covers the gap between the support 10 and an adjacent support 10, and as shown by the two-dot chain line L in Fig. 10(b), the mounting surface of the mounting portion 12 to which the support member is attached and the surface of the decorative panel 24 are disposed on the same plane. In this way, by positioning the locking holes 11a·11a··· at a portion recessed from the mounting portion 12 and the decorative panel 24, the mounting portion 12 and the decorative panel 24 can make the locking holes 11a·11a··· less visible as shown in Fig. 3. That is, the design of the frame structure F can be improved.

[0044] 10(a) and 10(b), the frame structure F according to this embodiment has mounting portions 12 and locking holes 11a, 11a, etc., provided symmetrically on both opposing sides of the support 10. This makes it possible to attach supporting members and locking members to the back side of the frame structure F in the same way as on the front side, as shown in Figs. 19 and 20.

[0045] [Second embodiment] Next, a second embodiment of the frame structure F will be described with reference to Figures 14 and 15. In the embodiments described after this embodiment, the basic configuration of the frame structure F is similar to that of the first embodiment, so the configuration described in the first embodiment is given the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0046] 14, in the frame structure F of this embodiment, first stabilizing legs 32 are attached to the support columns 10 on both sides. A desk 51 is disposed between the first stabilizing legs 32. Side panels 43 are attached to the support columns 10 on both sides to cover both sides of the desk 51.

[0047] 15, panel support members 44 / 44 having locking pieces 44a formed thereon are attached to both sides of the corners of the side panel 43. The side panel 43 is attached to the support 10 by locking the locking pieces 44a / 44a into the locking holes 11a. That is, in this embodiment, the side panel 43 to which the panel support members 44 / 44 are attached is attached to the support 10 as an locking member.

[0048] As described above, in the frame structure F according to this embodiment, a plurality of locking holes 11a are opened in one side surface of the pillar 10 along both sides of the mounting portion 12. This allows the side panel 43, which has two rows of locking pieces 44a, to be locked as a locking member to the pillar 10. That is, by forming two rows of locking holes 11a in one pillar 10, it becomes possible to stably lock one locking member. It is also possible to configure the side panel 43 to be fixed to the pillar 10 using only the mounting portion 12 without providing the locking pieces 44a on the side panel 43.

[0049] In addition, by opening locking holes 11a...11a... along both sides of the mounting portion 12 in the support 10, when a frame structure is formed with three or more support pillars 10, it is possible to attach a support member to the intermediate support pillar 10 (a support 10 to which two connecting rods 21 are connected) and lock a locking member to each side of the support member (see Figures 19 and 20).

[0050] [Third Example] Next, a third embodiment of the frame structure F will be described with reference to Figures 16 and 17. As shown in Figure 16, the frame structure F of this embodiment does not have the decorative panel 24 of the first embodiment, and instead has a back panel 45 attached to the posts 10, slightly above the shelf board brackets 41 and the shelf boards 42. Note that support members that support the frame structure F are not shown in Figures 16 and 17.

[0051] 17, locking pieces 45a are formed on both ends of the back plate 45. The back plate 45 is attached to the posts 10 by locking the locking pieces 45a into the locking holes 11a of the posts 10. That is, in this embodiment, the back plate 45 is attached to the posts 10 as a locking member.

[0052] In addition, in the frame structure F according to this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 16, a hanging beam 46 capable of connecting a monitor M is attached to the posts 10. As shown in Fig. 17, locking pieces 46a are formed on both ends of the back panel 45. The hanging beam 46 is attached to the posts 10 by locking the locking pieces 46a into the locking holes 11a of the posts 10. That is, in this embodiment, the hanging beam 46 is attached to the posts 10 as a locking member. In addition to the monitor M, options such as a tray can be locked to the hanging beam 46.

[0053] In the frame structure F of this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 16, a top plate bracket 47 supporting a top plate 48 is locked as a locking member. As shown in Fig. 17, locking pieces 47a are formed on the top plate bracket 47. The top plate bracket 47 is attached to the support pillar 10 by locking each of the locking pieces 47a into the locking holes 11a. The top plate 48 is placed on the top plate brackets 47, 47 locked to the support pillars 10 on both sides. The central front end of the top plate 48 is supported by a support leg 49.

[0054] As described above, in the frame structure F according to this embodiment, the back panel 45, the hanging beam 46, the top panel bracket 47, etc. are configured to be engaged with the support 10 as engaging members. Note that it is also acceptable to configure the frame structure F to engage with the support 10 with the decorative panel 24 provided thereon.

[0055] [Example of configuration using frame structure F] Next, various configuration examples using the frame structure F will be described with reference to Fig. 18 to Fig. 20. Fig. 18 to Fig. 20 all show a frame structure F having four support columns 10 connected by three connecting rods 21. Fig. 19 and Fig. 20 are perspective views of the same second configuration example as seen from the front and rear directions, respectively.

[0056] In the first configuration example shown in Fig. 18, two side panels 31 are connected as support members to each of the support columns 10 at both ends that constitute the frame structure F, and one of the side panels 31 is further displaced 90 degrees and connected. This allows the frame structure F and the six side panels 31 to form one large space. Three sleeve panels 36 are attached to the back surface of the frame structure F as support members.

[0057] In the first configuration example, a first stabilizing leg 32 is attached as a support member to the middle support 10 constituting the frame structure F. In addition, a shelf board 42 as a locking member, a hanging beam 46 to which a monitor M is connected, a top board 48, etc. are attached to the frame structure F. A table 52 is disposed next to the top board 48.

[0058] In this configuration example, as shown in Fig. 18, a tray 48a formed by pressing nonwoven fabric is provided in the gap between adjacent tabletops 48 (on the front side of the support 10 to which the first stabilizing leg 32 is attached). This makes it possible to effectively utilize the space in the gap between the tabletops 48, which is formed on the front side of the support 10 where no side panel 31 is provided. If the depth dimension of the tabletop 48 is greater than the configuration shown in Fig. 18, it is also possible to arrange two or more trays 48a side by side, one behind the other.

[0059] 19 and 20, two side panels 31 are connected back-to-back to each of the posts 10 that make up the frame structure F. As a result, the frame structure F and the eight side panels 31 form six individual spaces.

[0060] As shown in Fig. 19, a desk 51 is placed in each individual space on the front side, and a shelf board 42 is attached as an engagement member to the frame structure F. As shown in Fig. 20, a top board 48 is attached as an engagement member to the frame structure F in each individual space on the rear side. The top board 48 is supported by support legs 49.

[0061] In the frame structure F according to this embodiment, locking holes 11a are opened along both sides of the mounting portion 12 of the support pillar 10. As a result, as shown in the second configuration example in Figs. 19 and 20, when a frame structure is constructed with three or more support pillars 10, it is possible to attach support members (side panel 31) to the intermediate support pillars 10 (support pillars 10 to which two connecting rods 21 are connected) and lock locking members (shelf board 42 and top board 48) to both sides of the support members. In this way, in the frame structure F according to this embodiment, as shown in the above first to third configuration examples, it is possible to use the frame structure F to lay out spaces such as offices in a wide variety of ways.

[0062] In addition, in the pillars 10 constituting the frame structure F, which side of the mounting portion 12 the locking holes 11a are opened on (either one side of the connecting rod 21 only or both sides) and the arrangement of the pillars 10 are not limited to the embodiments and configuration examples described in this specification. That is, in the case of a frame structure F having two pillars 10, the number of pillars 10 having locking holes 11a opened on both sides of the mounting portion 12 can be zero, one, or two. Similarly, even in the case of a frame structure F having three or more pillars 10, the number and positions of the pillars 10 having locking holes 11a opened on both sides of the mounting portion 12 are not limited.

[0063] In addition, in the case of a frame structure F having three or more columns 10, by adopting a structure in which the locking holes 11a are opened on both sides of the mounting portion 12 for at least the intermediate columns 10, locking members such as the shelf board 42 and the hanging beam 46 can be locked without hindrance to both sides of the column 10. In other words, it is preferable to adopt a structure in which the locking holes 11a are opened on both sides of the mounting portion 12 for the intermediate columns 10 in a frame structure F having three or more columns 10, from the viewpoint of locking members without hindrance to both sides of the column 10. On the other hand, for the columns 10 located at both ends of the frame structure F, it is acceptable to adopt either a structure in which the locking holes 11a are opened only on one side of the mounting portion 12, that is, the connecting rod 21 side, or a structure in which the locking holes 11a are opened on both sides of the mounting portion 12.

[0064] Furthermore, as described above, when a configuration is adopted in which the first stabilizing leg 32 or the side panel 43 is fixed only to the mounting portion 12 of the support 10, whether the support 10 has the locking hole 11a opened only on one side of the mounting portion 12, that is, the connecting rod 21 side, or the support 10 has the locking hole 11a opened on both sides of the mounting portion 12, the locking member such as the shelf board 42 or the hanging beam 46 can be locked adjacent to the first stabilizing leg 32 or the side panel 43.
