Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a metallic vertical grid body comprising a plurality of vertical grids aligned laterally and spaced apart from one another, and upper and lower support members that support the vertical grids. [Background technology]

[0002] In furniture such as storage units and racks, the interior walls of buildings, and the exterior windows of buildings, a plurality of vertical lattices made of metal or the like aligned and spaced apart from one another are widely used from the standpoints of improving design, ensuring ventilation, improving durability, and achieving both privacy protection and lighting (see, for example, vertical lattice 53 in FIG. 4 of Patent Document 1 and vertical lattice 60 in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 of Patent Document 2).

[0003] Such a plurality of vertical lattices aligned at a distance from one another on the left and right are hung across upper and lower support members (for example, upper and lower horizontal frames 29 in Patent Document 1) and attached to the support members, for example, by bolts.

[0004] On the other hand, although not used with the vertical lattice, there is a wall-mounted bracket for mounting shelves which can be placed between a wall and a shelf out of sight, easily and without rattling, and which has a locking mechanism that keeps the shelf hung on the wall so that it does not come off (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

[0005] The wall-mounted bracket P for attaching a shelf of Patent Document 3 consists of a hanging bracket 1 which is attached beforehand to a wall surface W, and an engaging bracket 2 which is attached to the back side of a shelf R. The hanging bracket 1 has a front inclined piece 7 and an elastic tongue piece 11, and a protrusion 13 which is more convex than the back side of the front inclined piece 7 on the back side of the tip of the elastic tongue piece 11. The engaging bracket 2 has an engaging piece 22 which has an engaging hole 23 in it.

[0006] When the shelf R is lifted up and brought close to the wall W so that it is flush with the wall, the engaging fitting 2 is lowered from above the hanging fitting 1, and the shelf R is hooked in a state where it is attracted to the wall W. In this state, the elastic tongue 11 of the hanging fitting 1 elastically deforms and the protrusion 13 on the back surface of the elastic tongue 11 enters the engaging hole 23 of the engaging fitting 2, forming a locking mechanism that holds the shelf R hooked to the wall W.

[0007] The structure of the locking mechanism makes it possible to remove the shelf R if desired, but in order to ensure that the shelf R never comes off, the protrusion 13 is made to have a non-return shape (paragraph

[0011] of Patent Document 3). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] [Patent Document 1] Registered Utility Model No. 3036810 [Patent Document 2] JP 2015-190166 A [Patent Document 3] JP 2014-5624 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] The inventors of the present application have conducted extensive research into various structures of a metal vertical grid body consisting of multiple vertical grids aligned at a distance from one another on the left and right and upper and lower support members that support the vertical grids. When a structure such as the wall-mounted shelf mounting bracket P consisting of a hook bracket 1 and an engagement bracket 2 in Patent Document 3 is adopted for the vertical grid body, it is easy to attach the vertical grid to the upper and lower support members, but it is difficult to ensure that the vertical grid does not come off during earthquake motion or the like, while allowing the vertical grid body to be easily removed when the vertical grid body is rearranged or when the vertical grid is damaged.

[0010] The present invention aims to facilitate the work of forming a metallic vertical lattice body consisting of a plurality of vertical lattices aligned at a distance from one another on the left and right and upper and lower support members that support the vertical lattices, and to enable the vertical lattices to be easily removed from the upper and lower support members as necessary while reliably preventing the vertical lattices from coming off the upper and lower support members in the event of earthquake movement, etc. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] The vertical grille according to the present invention is a metal vertical grille comprising a plurality of vertical grilles aligned and spaced apart from one another on the left and right, an upper support member extending left and right to support an upper portion of the vertical grilles, and a lower support member extending left and right to support a lower portion of the vertical grilles. The rear portion of the vertical grille has upper and lower upper engagement bodies and lower engagement bodies protruding downward. The upper support member is provided with a plurality of upper engagement recesses spaced left and right with which the upper engagement bodies engage. The lower support member is provided with a plurality of lower engagement recesses spaced left and right with which the lower engagement bodies engage. The upper support member or the lower support member is provided with a locking body that elastically deforms in the front-rear direction. A locking groove is provided at the upper rear portion of the upper engagement body or the upper rear portion of the lower engagement body. The locking body elastically deforms rearward during the process of engaging the upper engagement body and the lower engagement body of the vertical grille with the upper engagement recess of the upper support member and the lower engagement recess of the lower support member. When the upper engaging body is engaged with the upper engaging recess and the lower engaging body is engaged with the lower engaging recess, the locking piece of the locking body enters into the hook groove due to a restoring force caused by the elastic deformation of the locking body.

[0012] before The vertical lattice has a generally U-shaped cross section that opens to the rear, and includes a lattice plate and side plates extending rearward from both left and right ends of the lattice plate, the upper engagement body and the lower engagement body being upper engagement pieces and lower engagement pieces formed at the rear of the side plates, and below the upper engagement piece and the lower engagement piece are upper and lower recesses and lower recesses that are recessed forward, respectively, and the locking body has a plate-like portion that extends left and right and up and down, and a protruding piece that is the locking piece and extends forward from the upper end of the plate-like portion. 。

[0013] According to such a configuration of the vertical grille, the upper and lower support members and the lower support members are attached to the main body of the furniture such as a storage unit or to the wall surface of the room of a building, and the upper engaging body of the vertical grille is engaged with the upper engaging recess of the upper support member and the lower engaging body of the vertical grille is engaged with the lower engaging recess of the lower support member, thereby making it possible to easily attach the vertical grille to the upper support member and the lower support member without using tools. Therefore, it is possible to facilitate the work of forming a metallic vertical grille consisting of a plurality of vertical grilles aligned at a distance from each other on the left and right, and the upper and lower support members and the lower support members that support the vertical grilles.

[0014] When the vertical grille is attached to the upper and lower support members, the locking pieces of the locking body are inserted into the locking grooves of the vertical grille, so that the vertical grille is reliably prevented from coming off the upper and lower support members even in the event of an earthquake, etc. When removing the vertical grille from the upper and lower support members, a plate or the like is inserted into the upper or lower engagement recess from the front of the vertical grille and the locking body is pushed backward, causing the locking body to elastically deform backward so as to remove the locking pieces from the locking grooves of the vertical grille. In this state, the vertical grille can be easily removed from the upper and lower support members by moving it upward relative to the upper and lower support members.

[0015] In addition, the upper support member and the lower support member have an approximately C-shaped vertical cross section that opens to the rear, and have a front plate, an upper plate extending rearward from the upper end of the front plate, and a lower plate extending rearward from the lower end of the front plate, and the upper engagement recess and the lower engagement recess are openings that span from the top of the front plate to the upper plate, and the front plate opening, which is the front plate part of the opening, is an inverted trapezoid whose left-right width decreases as it goes downward, and the front horizontal surface of the upper engagement piece abuts against the upper surface of the wall forming the lowest end of the front plate opening of the upper engagement recess, and the front horizontal surface of the lower engagement piece abuts against the upper surface of the wall forming the lowest end of the front plate opening of the lower engagement recess, thereby positioning the vertical lattice vertically and left-right relative to the upper support member and the lower support member.

[0016] According to such a configuration of the vertical grille, when the vertical grille is attached to the upper support member and the lower support member, the left and right side plates of the vertical grille are guided by the left and right inclined surfaces that form the inverted trapezoid front plate opening of the upper support member and the lower support member. Then, when the vertical grille is attached to the upper support member and the lower support member, the front horizontal surface of the upper engagement piece abuts against the upper surface of the wall that forms the lowest end of the front plate opening of the upper engagement recess, and the front horizontal surface of the lower engagement piece abuts against the upper surface of the wall that forms the lowest end of the front plate opening of the lower engagement recess.

[0017] In this way, when the vertical grille is attached to the upper support member and the lower support member, the vertical and left / right positioning of the vertical grille relative to the upper support member and the lower support member is completed. Therefore, the work of adjusting the spacing and vertical position of multiple vertical grilles aligned at a distance from each other to the left and right is unnecessary, and the vertical grille is prevented from coming off the upper and lower support members by the locking body, so the vertical and left / right positioning of the vertical grille relative to the upper support member and the lower support member is maintained.

[0018] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, when the upper engagement piece of the vertical lattice is engaged with the upper engagement recess of the upper support member and the lower engagement piece of the vertical lattice is engaged with the lower engagement recess of the lower support member, the front plate of the upper support member is inserted between the hanging surface of the front surface of the upper engagement piece and the hanging surface of the rear surface of the side plate forming the front end of the upper recess, and the front plate of the lower support member is inserted between the hanging surface of the front surface of the lower engagement piece and the hanging surface of the rear surface of the side plate forming the front end of the lower recess, thereby positioning the vertical lattice fore and aft relative to the upper support member and the lower support member.

[0019] According to this configuration of the vertical lattice body, when the vertical lattice is attached to the upper support member and the lower support member, the front-to-rear positioning of the vertical lattice relative to the upper support member and the lower support member is completed. Therefore, the work of adjusting the front-to-rear positions of multiple vertical lattices aligned at a distance from each other on the left and right is unnecessary, and the vertical lattice is prevented from coming off the upper and lower support members by the locking body, so that the front-to-rear positioning of the vertical lattice relative to the upper support member and the lower support member is maintained. Effect of the Invention

[0020] As described above, according to the vertical lattice body of the present invention, it is possible to easily form a metallic vertical lattice body consisting of a plurality of vertical lattices aligned at a distance from one another on the left and right, and upper and lower support members and lower support members that support the vertical lattices, and it is possible to reliably prevent the vertical lattices from coming off the upper and lower support members in the event of earthquake movement, etc., while also making it possible to easily remove the vertical lattices from the upper and lower support members as necessary.

FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0022] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0023] In this specification, the horizontal direction from the upper support member and the lower support member toward the vertical grid is defined as "front" (see arrow F in the figure), the opposite direction to the horizontal direction is defined as "rear" (see arrow B in the figure), and when facing the "front", it is defined as "left" (see arrow L in the figure) and "right" (see arrow R in the figure). A view of the vertical grid body and its components as seen from the front is defined as a front view.

[0024] <Vertical grid> 1 and 2, a vertical grid body A according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of vertical grids 1 aligned at a distance from one another on the left and right, upper support members 2 extending left and right to support upper portions of the vertical grids 1, and lower support members 3 extending left and right to support lower portions of the vertical grids 1. The vertical grids 1, upper support members 2, and lower support members 3 are made of metal, for example, steel.

[0025] <Upper support member and lower support member> 3, the upper support member 2 has a main body 2A, a connecting member 2B that connects the left and right main bodies 2A, 2A, and end members 2C, 2D that are attached to the end of the main body 2A. The lower support member 3 has a main body 3A, a connecting member 3B that connects the left and right main bodies 3A, 3A, and end members 3C, 3D that are attached to the end of the main body 3A.

[0026] In other words, the left and right main bodies 2A, 2A are connected by inserting a mounting screw 21 through the through hole a1 of the main body 2A and screwing it into the screw hole a2 of the connecting member 2B, and the left and right main bodies 3A, 3A are connected by inserting a mounting screw 21 through the through hole a1 of the main body 3A and screwing it into the screw hole a2 of the connecting member 3B.

[0027] In addition, end members 2C, 2D are attached to the end of main body 2A by inserting mounting screw 22 through hole b1 of main body 2A and screwing it into screw hole b2 of end members 2C, 2D, and end members 3C, 3D are attached to the end of main body 3A by inserting mounting screw 22 through hole b1 of main body 3A and screwing it into screw hole b2 of end members 3C, 3D.

[0028] The lock body 8 is attached to the main body 3A by inserting the mounting screw 23 into the through hole c1 of the main body 3A of the lower support member 3 and screwing it into the screw hole c2 of the lock body 8.

[0029] The upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3 are attached to the main body of the furniture, such as a storage cabinet, or to a wall surface, etc., by inserting the mounting screw 24 through the through hole d1 of the connecting members 2B and 3B, inserting the mounting screw 25 through the through hole e1 of the end members 2C, 2D, 3C, and 3D, and screwing them into a screw hole at a predetermined location on the main body of the furniture, such as a storage cabinet, or on a wall surface inside a building, etc.

[0030] The upper support member 2 has a plurality of upper engagement recesses 6 spaced apart on the left and right, and the lower support member 3 has a plurality of lower engagement recesses 7 spaced apart on the left and right, and the vertical lattice 1 is attached to the upper engagement recesses 6 and the lower engagement recesses 7.

[0031] <Vertical grid> As shown in the exploded perspective view of Fig. 3 and the right side view of Fig. 4(a), there are upper and lower upper engagement bodies 4 and lower engagement bodies 5 that protrude downward at the rear of the vertical grille 1. The upper engagement body 4 engages with an upper engagement recess 6 of the upper support member 2, and the lower engagement body 5 engages with a lower engagement recess 7 of the lower support member 3. A hook groove 10 is provided at the upper rear of the lower engagement body 5.

[0032] As shown in the exploded perspective view of Fig. 3 and the cross-sectional view of Fig. 4(b), the vertical lattice 1 has a generally U-shaped cross section that opens to the rear, and has a front lattice plate 11 and side plates 12, 13 that extend rearward from both left and right ends of the lattice plate 11. The upper engagement body 4 is an upper engagement piece 14 formed at the rear of the side plates 12, 13, and the lower engagement body 5 is a lower engagement piece 15 formed at the rear of the side plates 12, 13. Below the upper engagement piece 14 there is an upper recess 16 that is recessed forward, and below the lower engagement piece 15 there is a lower recess 17 that is recessed forward.

[0033] <Details of the Upper Support Member, the Lower Support Member, and the Upper Engagement Recess, and the Lower Engagement Recess> As shown in the enlarged front view of essential parts in Figure 5(a), the enlarged plan view of essential parts in Figure 5(b), the enlarged front view of essential parts in Figure 6(a), the enlarged plan view of essential parts in Figure 6(b), and the schematic right side view in Figure 7, the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3 have an approximately C-shaped vertical cross section that opens to the rear, and have a front plate 18, an upper plate 19 extending rearward from the upper end of the front plate 18, and a lower plate 20 extending rearward from the lower end of the front plate 18.

[0034] The upper engagement recess 6 and the lower engagement recess 7 form an opening C that spans from the top of the front plate 18 to the upper plate 19, and a front plate opening D, which is the front plate 18 portion of the opening C, has an inverted trapezoid shape whose left and right width decreases downward. The inverted trapezoid front plate opening D is formed by the opposing left and right inclined surfaces I, J shown in Figures 5(a) and 6(a).

[0035] <Lock body details> As shown in the enlarged front view of the main part in Fig. 6(a), the enlarged plan view of the main part in Fig. 6(b), and the schematic right side view in Fig. 7, the locking body 8 has a plate-shaped part 8A extending left and right and up and down, a protrusion 8B that is a locking piece 9 and extends forward from the upper end of the plate-shaped part 8A, and a mounting plate 8C that extends forward from the lower end of the plate-shaped part 8A. The locking body 8 is attached to the main body 3A of the lower support member 3 by the mounting screw 23 as described above, with the mounting plate 8C aligned along the upper surface of the lower plate 20 of the lower support member 3. Since the locking body 8 is attached to the main body 3A in a cantilevered state, when the protrusion 8B is pushed in the front-rear direction, the plate-shaped part 8A is elastically deformed, and the protrusion 8B moves in the front-rear direction.

[0036] The locking body 8 may be attached to the upper support member 2 instead of the lower support member 3. For example, in the exploded perspective view of Fig. 3, the locking body 8 can be attached to the main body 2A by inserting the mounting screw 23 into the through hole c1 of the main body 2A of the upper support member 2 and screwing it into the screw hole c2 of the locking body 8. When the locking body 8 is attached to the upper support member 2, a hook groove 10 is provided at the upper rear of the upper engagement body 4, as shown by the imaginary line in the schematic right side view of Fig. 7.

[0037] The locking body 8, which is elastically deformable in the front-rear direction, is provided on one or both of the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3. However, in consideration of the ease of removing the vertical grille 1 from the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3, which will be described later, it is preferable to provide the locking body 8 on one of the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3, and it is most preferable to provide it only on the lower support member 3.

[0038] <Attaching the vertical lattice to the upper and lower support members> As shown in the schematic right side view of Figure 7, from a state in which the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3 are spaced apart from the vertical lattice 1 in the front-to-rear direction, the vertical lattice 1 is moved rearward as indicated by arrow S1 in Figure 7 to bring it closer to the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3.

[0039] Then, as shown in the schematic right side view of Figure 8, the hanging surface 1C of the rear surfaces of the side plates 12, 13 which form the front end of the upper recess 16 is pressed against the front plate 18 of the upper support member 2, and the hanging surface 1D of the rear surfaces of the side plates 12, 13 which form the front end of the lower recess 17 is pressed against the front surface of the front plate 18 of the lower support member 3.

[0040] In the state shown in Fig. 8, the protrusion 8B, which is the lock piece 9 of the lock body 8, is pushed backward by the lower engagement piece 15 as shown by the arrow E1 in Fig. 8, and the plate-shaped portion 8A is elastically deformed. From the state shown in Fig. 8, the vertical grille 1 is lowered as shown by the arrow S2 in Fig. 8, and as shown in the schematic right side view of Fig. 9, the upper engagement piece 14 is engaged with the upper engagement recess 6, and the lower engagement piece 15 is engaged with the lower engagement recess 7. In the state shown in Fig. 9, the protrusion 8B, which is the lock piece 9, enters the engagement groove 10 of the vertical grille 1 due to the restoring force caused by the elastic deformation of the plate-shaped portion 8A as shown by the arrow E2 in Fig. 9.

[0041] As described above, in the process of engaging the upper engagement body 4 and the lower engagement body 5 of the vertical grille 1 with the upper engagement recess 6 of the upper support member 2 and the lower engagement recess 7 of the lower support member 3, the locking body 8 elastically deforms rearward, and when the upper engagement body 4 is engaged with the upper engagement recess 6 and the lower engagement body 5 is engaged with the lower engagement recess 7, the restoring force due to the elastic deformation of the locking body 8 causes the locking piece 9 of the locking body 8 to enter the hooking groove 10.

[0042] <Up / down and left / right positioning of vertical grid> As described above, as shown in the enlarged front views of the main parts in Fig. 5(a) and Fig. 6(a), the front panel opening D has an inverted trapezoid shape whose width decreases toward the bottom. Thus, when the vertical grille 3 is attached to the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3, the left and right side plates 12, 13 of the vertical grille 1 are guided by the left and right inclined surfaces I, J that form the inverted trapezoid front panel opening D of the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3. Then, in the state where the vertical grille 1 is attached to the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3 as shown in the schematic right side view of Fig. 9, the front horizontal surface 1A of the upper engagement piece 14 abuts against the upper surface 6A of the wall that forms the lowest end of the front panel opening D of the upper engagement recess 6, and the front horizontal surface 1B of the lower engagement piece 15 abuts against the upper surface 7A of the wall that forms the lowest end of the front panel opening D of the lower engagement recess 7.

[0043] In this way, when the vertical grille 1 is attached to the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3, the vertical and left / right positioning of the vertical grille 1 relative to the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3 is completed. Therefore, there is no need to adjust the spacing and vertical position of the multiple vertical grilles 1, 1, ... that are aligned and spaced apart from each other to the left and right, and since the locking body 8 prevents the vertical grille 1 from coming off the upper and lower support members 2 and 3, the vertical and left / right positioning of the vertical grilles 1, 1, ... relative to the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3 is maintained.

[0044] <Front and rear positioning of vertical grid> When the attachment of the vertical grille 1 to the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3 is completed, as shown in the schematic right side view of Figure 9, the front plate 18 of the upper support member 2 is inserted between the hanging surface 14A on the front side of the upper engagement piece 14 and the hanging surface 1C on the rear sides of the side plates 12, 13 that form the front end of the upper recess 16, and the front plate 18 of the lower support member 3 is inserted between the hanging surface 15A on the front side of the lower engagement piece 15 and the hanging surface 1D on the rear sides of the side plates 12, 13 that form the front end of the lower recess 17, so that the front and rear positioning of the vertical grille 1 is determined relative to the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3.

[0045] In this way, when the vertical grille 1 is attached to the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3, the front-to-rear positioning of the vertical grille 1 relative to the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3 is completed. Therefore, there is no need to adjust the front-to-rear positions of the multiple vertical grilles 1, 1, ... that are aligned at a distance from each other on the left and right, and since the locking body 8 prevents the vertical grille 1 from coming off the upper and lower support members 2 and 3, the front-to-rear positioning of the vertical grilles 1, 1, ... relative to the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3 is maintained.

[0046] <Removing the vertical lattice from the upper and lower support members> Since the front panel opening D of the lower engagement recess 7 has an inverted trapezoidal shape as described above, there is a gap between the upper part of the front panel opening D and the side panels 12, 13 of the vertical grille 1. Therefore, as indicated by arrow H in the schematic oblique view of Figure 10, the plate material P can be inserted into the front panel opening D while aligning the plate material P with the side panel 12 or 13.

[0047] As a result, as shown in the schematic right side view of Fig. 11, the locking body 8 is elastically deformed backward by the plate material P, and the protruding piece 8B, which is the locking piece 9, is removed from the locking groove 10 of the vertical grille 1, as indicated by the arrow E1 in Fig. 11. In the state of Fig. 11, the vertical grille 1 can be moved upward, as indicated by the arrow S3 in Fig. 11, so that the vertical grille 1 can be easily removed from the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3.

[0048] <Action and effect> According to the configuration of the vertical grille body A according to the embodiment of the present invention, the upper and lower support members 2 and lower support members 3 are attached to the main body of furniture such as a storage unit or to a wall surface inside a building, and the upper engagement body 4 of the vertical grille 1 is engaged with the upper engagement recess 6 of the upper support member 2 and the lower engagement body 5 of the vertical grille 1 is engaged with the lower engagement recess 7 of the lower support member 3, thereby making it possible to easily attach the vertical grille 1 to the upper support members 2 and lower support members 3 without using tools. Therefore, it is possible to facilitate the work of forming the metallic vertical grille body A consisting of a plurality of vertical grilles 1 aligned at a distance from one another on the left and right, and the upper and lower support members 2 and lower support members 3 that support the vertical grilles 1.

[0049] When the vertical grille 1 is attached to the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3, the locking pieces 9 of the locking body 8 are inserted into the hooking grooves 10 of the vertical grille 1, so that the vertical grille 1 is reliably prevented from coming off the upper and lower support members 2 and 3 even during earthquake motion. When removing the vertical grille 1 from the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3, a plate material P or the like is inserted into the upper engagement recess 6 or the lower engagement recess 7 from the front of the vertical grille 1 to push the locking body 8 backward, thereby elastically deforming the locking body 8 backward so as to remove the locking pieces 9 from the hooking grooves 10 of the vertical grille 1. In this state, the vertical grille 1 can be easily removed from the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3 by moving the vertical grille 1 upward relative to the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 3.

[0050] The above description of the embodiments is given by way of example only and is not intended to be limiting, and various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
