Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an assembly set for a storage device and a storage device assembled using said set. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, clothes have generally been stored by hanging hangers on which clothes are hung on a hanger rack. For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, such a hanger rack has a structure in which several pipe beams are hung between several pipe pillars, and hangers are hung on the beams to store clothes. However, such storage devices are not preferred to be installed in conspicuous places because their structure is more complicated and their appearance is cluttered, and they are generally installed in places where people do not usually go in and out, such as closets.

[0003] Meanwhile, in recent years, a storage format known as "visible storage" has been gaining attention, in which storage equipment is deliberately installed in conspicuous locations and the stored clothes can be used as interior decor. "Visible storage" refers to storage equipment in which pipes or the like are fixed to the walls or ceilings of rooms and hangers are hung from the pipes. In visible storage, it is important to simplify the structure of the storage equipment itself, since the appearance becomes cluttered if the structure of the storage equipment becomes complicated. Also, if more hangers can be hung, not only can the number of clothes that can be stored be increased, but the decorative effect of the clothes can be enhanced, so it is considered preferable to make the length of the pipes on which the hangers are hung longer.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3147576 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] While it is better to make the pipes in the "visible storage" as long as possible, the longer the length of the pipe itself, the higher the risk of bending due to the weight of the clothes hung on it and the weight of the pipe itself. In order to solve the above problem, metals with high rigidity, such as steel and stainless steel, are often used. Although such metal pipes have high rigidity, the pipes themselves are heavy, making it difficult to handle them when fixing long pipes using a fixture. For example, when fixing a fixture for fixing a pipe to a wall or the like and fixing the pipe to the fixture, the pipe itself is heavy, so it is time-consuming to position the pipe relative to the fixture. When positioning the pipe in this way, the surface of the pipe may be damaged due to repeated contact between the pipe and the fixture, which may damage the metal luster of the pipe or cause the coating applied to the pipe surface to peel off. Since the appearance of the pipe is damaged in this way, which is undesirable for "visible storage," a solution to this problem was desired. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] As a result of intensive research conducted by the present inventors to solve the above problems, they discovered that the above problems could be solved by an assembly set of a specific structure and a storage device assembled from said set, and thus arrived at the present invention. That is, the present invention provides: [1] A rod-shaped member and a fastener for fastening the rod-shaped member to a structural member and / or a non-structural member of a building; The rod-shaped member has at least one hole in a longitudinal surface thereof near at least one end thereof, the fixing device includes a flat base portion and a hollow rod-shaped member accommodating portion formed by a wall extending vertically from the base portion, the wall being provided with at least one screw hole penetrating the wall, At least one stopper is provided protruding from an inner wall forming the rod-shaped member accommodating portion toward the center of the hollow space. A storage device assembly set, [2] An assembly set for the storage device according to [1], further including a set screw at the end of the rod; [3] An assembly set for a storage device according to [1] or [2], wherein a screw hole is provided in a base portion of the fastener, and the screw hole is provided at least one on each side of the rod-shaped member accommodating portion in the axial direction of the screw hole provided in the wall, and at least one on each side of the rod-shaped member accommodating portion in the perpendicular direction to the axial direction of the screw hole provided in the wall. [4] An assembly set for a storage device according to any one of [1] to [3], further comprising a connector for connecting the rod-shaped members to each other, the connector having at least one screw hole penetrating a wall of the pipe connecting portion and at least one stopper formed of a protrusion on the inside of the wall; and [5] A storage device assembled using the assembly set according to any one of [1] to [4]. Regarding. Effect of the Invention

[0007] By using the assembly set of the present invention, assembly is easier and the possibility of damaging the surfaces of the rod-shaped members during assembly can be minimized. In addition, the storage device assembled using the set of the present invention can use rod-shaped members made of a highly rigid material, so it has a simple appearance and can hold more clothes, and the decorative effect of "visible storage" can be enhanced.

[0009] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on specific embodiments with reference to the drawings. Note that the drawings and the following description are merely for explaining one embodiment of the present invention, and do not limit the scope of the present invention in any way. In addition, the terms "up and down", "front and back", and "left and right" in the text refer to the directions shown in each drawing.

[0010] As described above, the assembly set of the storage device of the present invention includes: The present invention includes a rod-shaped member 1 and a fastener 2 for fastening the rod-shaped member 1 to a structural member and / or a non-structural member of a building, The rod-shaped member 1 has at least one hole 12 in the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped member 1 near at least one end of the rod-shaped member 1, The fixture 2 includes a flat base portion 21 and a hollow rod-shaped member accommodating portion 23 formed by a wall 22 extending vertically from the base portion 21, and the wall 22 is provided with at least one screw hole 24 penetrating the wall 22, At least one stopper 25 is provided protruding from the inner wall forming the rod-shaped member accommodating portion 23 toward the center of the hollow space. Each component will be described below, and then the storage device of the present invention will be described.

[0011] 1. Rod-shaped member The rod-shaped member 1 is a rod-shaped member as shown in FIG. 1. There is no particular limitation on the cross-sectional shape of the rod-shaped member, and it may be, for example, a circle including an ellipse, or a polygon such as a triangle, a square, a pentagon, or a hexagon. The rod-shaped member may be a so-called pipe-shaped rod-shaped member having a hollow in its length direction, or a rod without a hollow. There is no particular limitation on the material of the rod-shaped member 1, and materials that are generally used in manufacturing such storage devices, such as metal materials such as iron, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and copper, resin, and ceramic, can be used without particular limitation. In order to efficiently manufacture a rod-shaped member 1 with higher rigidity, it is more preferable to use a metal material. The length of the rod-shaped member 1 can be appropriately adjusted on the condition that it is a length that can be used as a storage device. In particular, in the assembly set of the storage device of the present invention, in order to realize "visible storage", the rod-shaped member 1 can be made long, for example, specifically, 2 to 5 m. The thickness of the rod-shaped member 1 can also be appropriately adjusted on the condition that it is a thickness that can be used as a storage device. Furthermore, the rod-shaped member 1 may be bent at one or more locations as shown in FIG. 1(D).

[0012] The rod-shaped member has at least one hole 12 near one end of the main body 11 on the longitudinal surface. In FIG. 1, two holes 12 are provided, one near each end of the main body 11. As shown in FIG. 1, one hole 12 may be provided near one end, or two or more holes may be provided. The hole 12 may be a hole that penetrates the rod-shaped member 1 (if the rod-shaped member is pipe-shaped, a wall that forms the pipe), or may not penetrate the rod-shaped member 1. Note that "near one end" not only includes the end of the main body 11 of the rod-shaped member 1, but also includes the area around the end, for example, the area accommodated in the rod-shaped member accommodating portion 23 of the fixture 2 described later. The size and shape of the hole 12 are not particularly limited as long as they are large enough to screw the rod-shaped member 1 and the fixture 2 together, as described later. When using a set screw 3 described later to screw the rod-shaped member 1 and the fixture 2 together, it is not necessary to thread the hole 12. On the other hand, when fastening the rod-shaped member 1 and the fastener 2 with a normal screw, the hole 12 may be threaded.

[0013] The surface of the rod-shaped member 1 may be painted with paint or laminated with a colored resin sheet. By carrying out such processing, the decorativeness is increased, and the decorative effect of the visible storage using the rod-shaped member 1 can be further improved.

[0014] 2. Fixtures Fig. 2 is a drawing showing a representative form of fastener 2 of the present invention. Fastener 2, as shown in Fig. 2, includes a flat base portion 21 and a hollow rod-shaped member accommodating portion 23 formed by a wall 22 extending vertically from base portion 21. The "flat" shape not only includes a so-called "flat plate" shape in which both the top and bottom surfaces are flat when base portion 21 is viewed from the front, but also includes a shape in which the thickness of base portion 21 is varied, for example, rising from the ends toward the center.

[0015] The height of the wall 22 from the base 21 can be adjusted as appropriate, provided that a rod-shaped member storage section 23 having a depth sufficient to store and fix the rod-shaped member 1 can be formed. The term "vertical direction" means that the wall 22 extends vertically when viewed from a plane when the base 21 is placed on the plane. Therefore, the wall 22 does not have to have an angle of 90° with the upper surface of the base 21. The wall 22 may have one or more vertical cuts or may be continuous without cuts as shown in FIG. 2, as long as the wall 22 can form a rod-shaped member storage section 23 to store the rod-shaped member 1, as described below. In addition, in order to reliably hold the rod-shaped member 1 and maintain its strength, it is more preferable that the wall 22 is continuous without cuts. The position of the wall 22 on the surface of the base 21 can be adjusted as appropriate, provided that a screw hole 26 to be described later can be provided in the base 21.

[0016] The shape of the base 21 and the rod-shaped member storage portion 23 in the fixture 2 as viewed from the planar direction is not particularly limited, provided that the rod-shaped member 1 can be stored therein, as described later. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the shape may be a circle including an ellipse, or a polygon such as a triangle, a rectangle, a pentagon, or a hexagon. The planar shape of the base 21 and the planar shape of the rod-shaped member storage portion 23 may be the same or different. In addition, the material of the fixture 2 may be any material generally used in storage devices, provided that the fixture 2 can hold and fix the rod-shaped member 1. As described above, when the rod-shaped member 1 fixed by the fixture 2 is made of, for example, a metal material, it is more preferable that the material of the fixture 2 be a metal material such as iron, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or copper, so that the fixture 2 can reliably hold and support the heavy rod-shaped member 1.

[0017] The wall 22 is provided with at least one screw hole 24 penetrating the wall 22. In the example of Fig. 2, one screw hole 24 is provided. As will be described later, the screw hole 24 and the hole 12 of the rod-shaped member 1 described above are aligned and fastened with a screw (not shown), thereby enabling the rod-shaped member 1 to be firmly fixed by the fastener 2.

[0018] The rod-shaped member accommodating section 23 is a hollow space formed by the wall 22 as described above. The rod-shaped member accommodating section 23 may be a hole that does not penetrate the rod-shaped member accommodating section 23 and is closed at its lower part by the base section 21, or may be a hole that penetrates the base section 21 as shown in FIG. 2. At least one stopper 25 that protrudes from the inner wall toward the center of the rod-shaped member accommodating section 23 is provided on the inner wall that forms the rod-shaped member accommodating section 23. The number and the position of the stopper 25 are not particularly limited, provided that the number and the position of the stopper 25 are such that the rod-shaped member 1 can be accommodated in the rod-shaped member accommodating section 23 and the rod-shaped member 1 can be stopped at a predetermined position, specifically, at a position where the hole 12 of the rod-shaped member 1 communicates with the screw hole 26, as described later. For example, in the example of FIG. 2, the stopper 25 is provided at two places on the inner wall that forms the rod-shaped member accommodating section 23, specifically, on the inner wall of the base section 21 that forms the rod-shaped member accommodating section 23. The distance from the upper end of the stopper 25 to the lower end of the screw hole 24 (L2 in FIG. 2) is approximately the same as the distance from the end of the rod-shaped member 1 to the end of the hole 12 (L1 in FIG. 1). By providing such stoppers 25, 25, the rod-shaped member 1 can be smoothly positioned when it is inserted into the rod-shaped member storage portion 23 and fixed by the fixing device 2. Specifically, repeated contact between the rod-shaped member 1 and the inside of the wall 22 reduces the risk of damaging the surface of the rod-shaped member 1 itself or the coating or laminate film applied to the surface of the rod-shaped member 1, and the rod-shaped member 1 can be used to create a more beautiful, visually appealing storage.

[0019] The base portion 21 of the fastener 2 has screw holes 26 that are used when fastening the fastener 2 to structural and / or nonstructural members of a building by screw fastening. The number and positions of the screw holes 26 can be appropriately changed depending on the position where the fastener 2 is fixed, the size of the screws used, and the like. Here, "structural members" refers to members necessary for the safe use of a building. Specific examples of structural members include pillars, beams, floors, and walls. Furthermore, "nonstructural members" refers to members that do not directly aim to ensure the safety of a building or human life. Specific examples of nonstructural members include decorative materials such as ceiling boards, floor boards, and wall materials.

[0020] For example, after the fixing device 2 is fixed to the wall, the rod-shaped member 1 is accommodated in the rod-shaped member accommodation portion 23 and screwed into the screw hole 24. In this case, in order to make it easier for the worker to screw into the screw hole 24, it is more preferable that the axial direction of the screw hole 24 is vertical or horizontal as seen by the worker. If the axial direction of the screw hole 24 is inclined, when the rod-shaped member 1 is accommodated in the rod-shaped member accommodation portion 23 and then screwed into the screw hole 24 using the set screw 3 described below, the screw must be fastened by tilting the screw fastening tool, such as a screwdriver, at an angle as seen by the worker. Such fastening work with a screw fastening tool at an angle places a strain on the worker's arms, and there is a risk of reducing work efficiency.

[0021] However, for example, as shown in FIG. 3(B), when the screw holes 26 are provided in a direction not along the axial direction of the screw holes 24, if the screw holes 24 are to be made vertical as seen by the worker, even if only some of the screw holes 26 (the two screw holes 26 on the left side in FIG. 3(B)) can be fixed to a structural member such as a column P or a beam B, the remaining screw holes 26 cannot be fixed to a structural member such as a column P or a beam B, and are fixed to a non-structural member such as a wall material. In general, most non-structural members such as wall materials and ceiling panels are made of thin plate materials. If the fastener 2 is fixed to such a thin plate material by screwing, when the metal rod-shaped member 1 is fixed with the fastener 2, it is difficult for the screw 27 set in the screw hole 26 to withstand the weight of these members, and there is a risk that the fastener 2 will come off from the wall material.

[0022] Therefore, as a specific form of the screw holes 26, as shown in Fig. 3(A), it is more preferable that the screw holes 26 are provided in the base part 21 of the fixing device 2, with at least one screw hole 26 provided in each of positions facing each other across the rod-shaped member accommodating part 23 in the axial direction (the direction of axis v in Fig. 3(A)) of the screw hole 24 opened in the wall 22, and at least one screw hole 26 provided in each of positions facing each other across the rod-shaped member accommodating part 23 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the screw hole 24 opened in the wall 22 (the direction of line h in Fig. 3(A)). The pillars and beams which are the structural members of a house are assembled in a cross shape, and wall materials and the like which are non-structural members are attached to their surfaces. As shown in FIG. 3(C), by using the fastener 2 of FIG. 3(A), the axial direction of the screw holes 24 becomes vertical or horizontal as seen by the worker who screws in, and at the same time, the fastener 2 can be fixed to both the structural members of the column P and the beam B using all of the screw holes 26 (four screw holes 26 in FIG. 3(C)), making it possible to fix the fastener 2 more firmly.

[0023] 3. Setscrew The assembly set for the storage device of the present invention may further include a set screw 3 at the rod end. The set screw 3 can be used to fix the rod-shaped member 1 to the fixture 2. FIG. 4 shows an example of a specific form of such a set screw 3. The set screw 3 at the rod end is a screw without a head, and has a threaded screw portion 31 with a thread cut thereon and a cylindrical rod tip portion 32 at the lower part of the screw portion 31 that is thinner than the threaded screw portion 31 without a thread cut thereon. The flat end of the threaded portion 31 is provided with a notch portion 33 (a hexagonal notch in FIG. 3) used when tightening the set screw 3. For example, the set screw 3 can be tightened or loosened by inserting a hexagonal wrench into the notch portion 33 and rotating the set screw 3. Since such a set screw 3 does not have a head like a normal screw, when the rod-shaped member 1 and the fixture 2 are fixed, the head of the screw does not protrude from the screw hole 24, which makes the screw fastening portion look neat and improves the decorativeness of the storage to be displayed. Furthermore, by inserting the rod tip portion 32 into the hole 12 of the rod-shaped member, the rod-shaped member 1 can be fixed to the fixture 2 more firmly.

[0024] 4. Connectors The storage device assembly set of the present invention may further include a connector 4 for connecting the rod-shaped members together. An example of the connector 4 is a connector having at least one screw hole 42 penetrating the wall of a connecting portion 41 for accommodating an end of a rod-shaped member 1 and at least one stopper 43 formed of a protrusion on the inside of the wall. By including such a connector 4, when assembling a storage device using the storage device assembly set of the present invention, for example, the direction of the rod-shaped member 1 can be changed, or short rod-shaped members 1 can be connected to each other to use them as longer rod-shaped members 1.

[0025] Specific forms of such a connector 4 are shown in Figs. 5(A) to (C). The connector 4 in Figs. 5(A) to (C) is made of a pipe bent into an L-shape, and a screw hole 42 is formed near both ends thereof, penetrating the wall of the connector 41. A stopper 43 consisting of a protrusion is provided on the inside of the wall of the connector 41. The cross-sectional shape of the connector 41 is not particularly limited, provided that the connector 41 can accommodate the rod-shaped member 1. For example, the connector 41 may be a circle including an ellipse (see Fig. 5), or a polygon such as a triangle, a square, a pentagon, or a hexagon. The distance from the end of the connector 41 to the end of the screw hole 42 (L3 in Fig. 4) is approximately the same as the distance from the end of the rod-shaped member 1 to the end of the hole 12 (L1 in Fig. 1). With such a configuration, the rod-shaped member 1 can be smoothly positioned when the rod-shaped member 1 is inserted into the connector 4 and fixed. Specifically, repeated contact between the rod-shaped member 1 and the inside of the connecting portion 41 reduces the risk of damaging the surface of the rod-shaped member 1 itself or the coating or laminate film applied to the surface of the rod-shaped member 1, thereby enabling the use of the rod-shaped member 1 to provide a more beautiful, visually appealing storage space.

[0026] The shape and material of the connector 4 are not particularly limited, provided that it can perform the above-mentioned functions and can withstand the weight of the rod-shaped member. Examples of materials include metals such as iron, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and copper, and ceramics. As for the shape, the connector 4 may be in the shape of an unbent pipe, as shown in FIG. 4(E). As shown in FIG. 4(F), the connector 4 may have a three-pronged shape. As shown in FIG. 4(G), the connector 4 may include a connector fixing portion 44 for fixing the connector 4 to a structural member and / or a nonstructural member of a building. By including such a connector fixing portion 44, the connector 4 itself can be fixed to a structural member and / or a nonstructural member of a building, improving the durability of the entire storage device, and for example, it becomes possible to assemble a storage device having a longer rod-shaped member 1.

[0027] 5. Storage equipment By assembling the assembly set for the storage device of the present invention, a highly durable storage device can be assembled more easily. Specifically, the fasteners 2 are fixed to structural members and / or non-structural members using screws 27 as shown in Fig. 3(B) and (C). In the storage device of the present invention, the storage device can be fixed more firmly by fixing the fasteners 2 to structural members. Furthermore, the term "building" includes not only general housing, but also buildings where no one lives, such as stores, hospitals, government offices, and elderly care facilities.

[0028] After the fixing device 2 is fixed, the end of the rod-shaped member 1 is inserted into the rod-shaped member accommodating portion 23 of the fixing device 2. At this time, the end of the rod-shaped member 1 hits the stopper 25 of the fixing device 2, so that the position of the hole 12 of the rod-shaped member 1 and the screw hole 26 of the fixing device 2 can be aligned very easily. After the positions of the hole 12 and the screw hole 26 are aligned, they are fastened together with a screw (the set screw 3 if the assembly set includes the set screw 3). When the rod-shaped member 1 is to be made longer or the direction of the rod-shaped member 1 is to be changed, a connecting device 4 is used. The connecting device 4 can be used to connect the rod-shaped member 1 by inserting the rod-shaped member 1 into the connecting portion 41 of the connecting device 4 up to the position where it hits the stopper 43, and fastening it with a screw, in the same way as when the rod-shaped member 1 is fixed by the fixing device 2.

[0029] FIG. 6 shows a specific form of a storage device obtained by assembling the assembly set of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6(A), the storage device can be installed so as to span one wall side and the other wall side opposite to it. In addition, by using a connector 4, it is possible to fix the storage device to the wall side and the ceiling side as shown in FIG. 6(B), or to fix the storage device only to the ceiling side as shown in FIG. 6(C). In addition, it may be fixed using two fixing devices 2 as shown in FIG. 6, or it may be fixed using three or more fixing devices 2 (not shown). The fixed location is not limited to the ceiling side and wall side of the building, but may be fixed to the floor side. In addition, the fixed location may be indoors or outdoors. Since the layout of the storage device of the present invention can be freely changed, the form of the storage device can be freely changed according to the location where the storage device is installed, and more effective storage that can be displayed can be realized. The storage device of the present invention can also be used for purposes other than storage, such as a clothesline or handrail. [Industrial Applicability]

[0030] The present invention provides a highly durable and easy-to-assemble visible storage system. The present invention will make "visible storage" more widespread and enable more effective space utilization. [Explanation of symbols]
