Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a rack that can be installed on an installation surface, a mounting member provided on the rack, and an installation structure for installing the rack on the installation surface. [Background technology]

[0002] There are cases where a rack capable of holding items is installed on a target surface. As an example, Patent Document 1 discloses an installation structure in which a U-shaped fixing member is attached at both ends to the rear wall of a sink as a target surface to form a protruding portion protruding from the rear wall of the sink, and the rack is hooked onto the fixing member to install the rack on the rear wall of the sink. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2012-246725 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the above-mentioned installation structure, a large load may be concentrated on one lateral end of the rack when a relatively heavy object is placed on the one lateral end, or when the pump of a pump-equipped bottle placed on the one end is pushed in. In such a case, the other end of the rack may rotate around the one end so as to rise up, and the rack may come off the surface on which it is to be installed.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a rack that can be prevented from coming off the installation surface due to rotation, and to provide a mounting member and installation structure that can prevent the rack from coming off the installation surface due to rotation. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The rack according to the present invention comprises: A rack that can be installed on a protruding portion that protrudes from an installation target surface, A rack body configured to be able to hold an article and having a rear surface portion disposed opposite the installation target surface, and an engagement portion provided on the rear surface portion and engaging with the protruding portion in the up-down direction; a mounting member that is attached to the rear surface of the rack body, is positioned on the opposite side of the engaging portion of the rack body via the protruding portion in the vertical direction, and has a mounting engaging portion configured to be engageable with the protruding portion in the vertical direction; The mounting member is configured so that the mounting engagement portion is located on the opposite side of the engagement portion of the rack body via the protrusion portion in the vertical direction, and is movable between a restricting position where it restricts vertical movement of the rack body relative to the protrusion portion, and a retracted position where it is retracted from the restricting position and allows vertical movement of the rack body relative to the protrusion portion.

[0007] The rack is installed on the installation target surface by being installed on the protruding portion. In addition, in the rack, when the engaging portion of the rack body is engaged with the protruding portion in one of the vertical directions and the mounting member is in a restricted position, the mounting engaging portion engages with the protruding portion in the other vertical direction, so that the vertical movement of the rack body relative to the protruding portion is restricted. This makes it possible to prevent the rack from rotating and coming off the installation target surface. Also, when the mounting member is in a retracted position, the mounting engaging portion is disposed in a position where it does not engage with the protruding portion in the vertical direction, so that the vertical movement of the rack body relative to the protruding portion is permitted. This makes it possible to install or remove the rack relative to the protruding portion.

[0008] In the rack according to the present invention, The mounting member may be configured to move from the retracted position to the regulating position in conjunction with moving the rack body upward or downward relative to the protrusion portion so as to engage the engagement portion of the rack body with the protrusion portion.

[0009] In the above rack, when the rack body is moved to engage the engagement portion of the rack body with the protrusion portion, the mounting member moves from the retracted position to the regulated position in conjunction with the movement, making it easy to install the rack on the installation surface.

[0010] The mounting member according to the present invention comprises: The rack is detachably attached to a rack body having a protruding portion protruding from a surface to be installed and configured to hold an article, and a rear portion arranged to face the surface to be installed and an engagement portion provided on the rear portion and engaging with the protruding portion in the vertical direction; An attachment engagement portion that engages with the protruding portion in the up-down direction; A detachable part configured to be detachably attached to a rear surface of the rack body; Equipped with When the detachable portion is attached to the rear portion of the rack body, the mounting engagement portion is configured to be movable in the vertical direction between a restricting position located on the opposite side of the engagement portion of the rack body via the protrusion portion, where it restricts the vertical movement of the rack body relative to the protrusion portion, and a retracted position retreated from the restricting position, where it allows the vertical movement of the rack body relative to the protrusion portion.

[0011] The mounting member is attached to the rack body to form a rack, and the rack is installed on the protruding portion to install the rack on the installation target surface. When the rack is installed on the installation target surface, if the mounting member is in a restricted position with the engaging portion of the rack body engaged with the protruding portion in one direction in the vertical direction, the mounting engaging portion engages with the protruding portion in the other direction in the vertical direction, thereby restricting the vertical movement of the rack body relative to the protruding portion. This makes it possible to prevent the rack from rotating and coming off the installation target surface. Also, when the mounting member is in a retracted position, the mounting engaging portion is positioned in a position where it does not engage with the protruding portion in the vertical direction, thereby allowing the rack body to move in the vertical direction relative to the protruding portion. This makes it possible to install or remove the rack on or from the protruding portion.

[0012] An installation structure according to the present invention comprises the above-mentioned rack, and a protruding portion protruding from an installation surface on which the rack is to be installed.

[0013] In the installation structure, the rack is installed on the installation target surface by being installed on the protruding portion. When the mounting member is in a restricted position with the engaging portion of the rack body engaged with the protruding portion in one of the vertical directions, the mounting engaging portion engages with the protruding portion in the other vertical direction, so that the vertical movement of the rack body relative to the protruding portion is restricted. This makes it possible to prevent the rack from rotating and coming off the installation target surface. Also, when the mounting member is in a retracted position, the mounting engaging portion is disposed in a position where it does not engage with the protruding portion in the vertical direction, so that the vertical movement of the rack body relative to the protruding portion is permitted. This makes it possible to install or remove the rack relative to the protruding portion. Effect of the Invention

[0027] The operating part 204 extends upward from the main body part 203. The upper end of the operating part 204 is located forward of the attachment engagement part 205. The operating part 204 is formed in a U-shape that is curved upward as a whole, and the lower end is connected to the main body part 203. As a result, in this embodiment, an opening surrounded by the main body part 203 and the operating part 204 is formed in the attachment main body part 201.

[0028] The detachable part 202 is located below the mounting body part 201. The detachable part 202 further includes a fitting part 207 into which the wire 101 constituting the mounted part 104 of the rack body 100 is fitted, and a contact part 208 that contacts the installation surface 20.

[0029] The fitting portion 207 includes a pair of fitting pieces 209, 210 that support the wire 101 from opposite directions via the wire 101 that constitutes the attached portion 104. In this embodiment, the fitting portion 207 includes a front fitting piece 209 that abuts against the wire 101 from the front, and a rear fitting piece 210 that abuts against the wire 101 from the rear. The fitting portion 207 also includes a pair of rear fitting pieces 210 spaced apart in the lateral direction. The front fitting piece 209 and the rear fitting piece 210 are disposed at different positions in the lateral direction. The front fitting piece 209 and the rear fitting piece 210 are disposed so as not to overlap in the front-rear direction.

[0030] The front fitting piece 209 is formed so that the horizontal direction is its long direction. The front fitting piece 209 is formed at a position away from both horizontal ends of the attachment / detachment part 202. The front fitting piece 209 also has a concave surface 211 on its rear surface into which a part of the wire 101 constituting the rack body 100 fits. The concave surface 211 is formed over the entire horizontal area of ​​the front fitting piece 209. The front fitting piece 209 also has an attachment protrusion 212 that protrudes rearward from a part of the lower edge, specifically, from approximately the center of the lower edge.

[0031] The pair of rear fitting pieces 210 are located at both lateral ends of the attachment / detachment part 202. The front fitting piece 209 is located between the pair of rear fitting pieces 210 in the lateral direction. The pair of rear fitting pieces 210 are formed so that the vertical direction is the longitudinal direction. The lower end of each rear fitting piece 210 is located below the front fitting piece 209. Each rear fitting piece 210 has a concave surface 213 on its front surface into which a part of the wire 101 constituting the rack body 100 fits. The concave surface 213 is formed over the entire lateral area of ​​each rear fitting piece 210.

[0032] By fitting the wire 101 constituting the mounting portion 104 into the fitting portion 207, the wire 101 is positioned between the concave surface 211 of the front fitting piece 209 and the concave surface 213 of the rear fitting piece 210, and the mounting member 200 rotates around the wire 101 as an axis, so that the position of the mounting member 200 can be moved back and forth.

[0033] The abutment portion 208 has two abutment surfaces 214, 215 that can abut against the installation target surface 20. In this embodiment, the two abutment surfaces 214, 215 are provided on each of the pair of rear fitting pieces 210. The two abutment surfaces 214, 215 are formed continuously in the vertical direction. In addition, when the upper abutment surface 214 located at the upper side of the two abutment surfaces 214, 215 is arranged along the vertical direction, the lower abutment surface 215 located at the lower side is arranged so as to incline forward toward the lower end. In addition, when the lower abutment surface 215 is arranged along the vertical direction, the upper abutment surface 214 is arranged so as to incline forward toward the upper end. In addition, the upper abutment surface 214 is located at a height approximately equal to that of the front fitting piece 209. In addition, the lower abutment surface 215 is located below the front fitting piece 209.

[0034] The mounting member 200 configured as described above is attached to the mounting receiving portion 104 of the rack body 100 as shown in Fig. 6, thereby forming the rack 10. Specifically, the fitting portion 207 of the mounting member 200 is fitted externally onto the wire material 101 that constitutes the mounting receiving portion 104, thereby forming the rack 10. In this embodiment, the fitting portion 207 is fitted from above into the wire material 101 that constitutes the mounting receiving portion 104. In such a rack 10, the mounting member 200 can move back and forth by rotating back and forth around the wire material 101 that constitutes the mounting receiving portion 104 as an axis. In addition, in the rack 10, the mounting member 200 is movable between a restricting position in which the mounting engagement portion 205 is located on the opposite side of the engagement portion 103 of the rack body 100 in the vertical direction via the protrusion portion 30, restricting the vertical movement of the rack body 100 relative to the protrusion portion 30, and a retracted position in which the mounting engagement portion 205 is retracted from the restricting position and allows the vertical movement of the rack body 100 relative to the protrusion portion 30.

[0035] When the rack 10 as described above is installed on the installation target surface 20, as shown in FIG. 7, the mounting body 201 is moved forward away from the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100, and the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 is disposed above the protruding portion 30. At this time, the lower contact surface 215 of the detachable portion 202 contacts along the installation target surface 20, and the upper contact surface 214 is inclined so as to move forward away from the installation target surface 20 as it approaches the upper end. In this state, the mounting engaging portion 205 is located forward in the vertical direction from the position opposite the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 via the protruding portion 30. This allows the rack body 100 to move up and down relative to the protruding portion 30. That is, in this state, the mounting member 200 is disposed in the retreated position.

[0036] Then, the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 is brought close to the protruding portion 30 from above. At this time, the detachable portion 202 of the mounting member 200 is pressed toward the installation target surface 20, so that the mounting member 200 moves toward the installation target surface 20 around the boundary between the upper abutment surface 214 and the lower abutment surface 215 as an axis. In this state, as shown in FIG. 8, the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 is disposed at a position where it engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the shaft portion 31, from above. Furthermore, the mounting engaging portion 205 is disposed on the opposite side of the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 through the protruding portion 30 in the vertical direction, and is disposed at a position where it engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the front flange portion 32, from below. This restricts the vertical movement of the rack body 100 relative to the protruding portion 30. That is, in this state, the mounting member 200 is disposed at a restricting position. Thus, in this embodiment, the mounting member 200 moves from the retracted position to the regulated position in conjunction with moving the rack body 100 downward relative to the protrusion 30 so as to engage the engagement portion 103 of the rack body 100 with the protrusion 30.

[0037] As described above, when the mounting member 200 is in the restricted position, the mounting engagement portion 205 engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the front flange portion 32, from below, so that the engagement portion 103 of the rack body 100 is restricted from moving upward relative to the protruding portion 30. Also, since the mounting engagement portion 205 engages with the front flange portion 32 relatively close to the front flange portion 32, it is possible to suppress rattling of the rack 10 relative to the protruding portion 30. Also, since the engagement portion 103 of the rack body 100 engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the shaft portion 31, from above, the engagement portion 103 of the rack body 100 is restricted from moving downward relative to the protruding portion 30.

[0038] Furthermore, when the mounting member 200 is in the restricted position, the main body protrusion 206 engages with the protruding portion 30 in the front-rear direction. Specifically, when the mounting member 200 is in the restricted position, the main body protrusion 206 is located behind the front flange portion 32 of the protruding portion 30, and engages with the front flange portion 32 from behind. This prevents the mounting main body 201 from unintentionally moving to the retracted position.

[0039] In the installation structure including the rack 10 and the protruding portion 30 as described above, the mounting member 200 can be moved to a retracted position by pulling down the operating portion 204 of the mounting member 200 with a finger. This allows the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 to move vertically relative to the protruding portion 30, so that the rack 10 can be installed or removed relative to the protruding portion 30.

[0040] Second Embodiment A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 9 to 15. In this embodiment, the configuration of the mounting member 300 is different from that of the first embodiment. Therefore, the differences from the first embodiment will be described, and the same components will be denoted by the same reference numerals and will not be described repeatedly.

[0041] As shown in Figs. 9 to 11, the mounting member 300 according to this embodiment includes a mounting engagement portion 305 that engages with the protruding portion 30 in the up-down direction. Specifically, the mounting member 300 includes a mounting main body portion 301 and a mounting portion 302 that is attached to the mounted portion 104 of the rack body 100, and the mounting main body portion 301 has the mounting engagement portion 305. In this embodiment, the mounting member 300 includes, as the mounting portion 302, a detachable portion 302 that is configured to be detachable from the mounted portion 104. In the mounting member 300, the mounting main body portion 301 and the detachable portion 302 are integrally formed. In this embodiment, the mounting member 300 is integrally formed as a whole using a resin material.

[0042] The mounting body 301 includes a main body part 303 and an operating part 304 that is operated when changing the position of the mounting member 300, and has a mounting engagement part 305 on the main body part 303. In this embodiment, the operating parts 304 are disposed on both sides of the main body part 303 in the lateral direction.

[0043] The main body part 303 is configured so that the protruding part 30 can be disposed above it. When the protruding part 30 is disposed above it, the main body part 303 is provided with an attachment engagement part 305 at a position facing the protruding part 30 in the up-down direction. In this embodiment, the main body part 303 is provided with the attachment engagement part 305 at its upper end. Specifically, the main body part 303 is formed so that its upper end protrudes rearward, and the attachment engagement part 305 is provided at the protruding part. Moreover, the main body part 303 is formed so that one of both side edges located in the lateral direction is curved toward the other side edge.

[0044] The main body portion 303 also includes a main body protrusion 306 that protrudes rearward from the mounting engagement portion 305. The main body protrusion 306 is formed below the upper surface of the mounting engagement portion 305. The main body protrusion 306 is formed from one end of the mounting engagement portion 305 toward the other end in the lateral direction. The lateral length of the main body protrusion 306 is shorter than the lateral length of the mounting engagement portion 305. In this embodiment, the main body protrusion 306 is formed from one end of the mounting engagement portion 305 in the lateral direction to the curved side edge of the main body portion 303. The main body protrusion 306 also includes a concave surface 313 on the upper surface into which a part of the wire 101 constituting the rack body 100 fits.

[0045] The two operation parts 304 constitute both ends of the attachment main body 301 in the lateral direction. One operation part 304 has a shape that is curved as a whole toward the side away from the main body part 303 in the lateral direction, and the other operation part 304 has a plate-like shape. The end of one operation part 304 on the main body part 303 side is connected to the main body part 303. As a result, in this embodiment, an opening surrounded by the main body part 303 and the operation parts 304 is formed in the attachment main body 301.

[0046] The detachable portion 302 is located below the mounting engagement portion 305. Moreover, the detachable portion 302 protrudes rearward from the lower end portion of the mounting main body portion 301. Specifically, the detachable portion 302 protrudes rearward from the lower end portion of the main body portion 303. Moreover, the detachable portion 302 is located at a position away from both ends of the mounting main body portion 301 in the lateral direction, specifically, between the two operation portions 304.

[0047] The detachable portion 302 also includes a fitting portion 307 into which the wire 101 constituting the attached portion 104 of the rack body 100 is fitted. The fitting portion 307 includes a pair of fitting pieces 309, 310 facing each other in the vertical direction. The pair of fitting pieces 309, 310 include, on their facing surfaces, concave surfaces 311, 312 into which a portion of the wire 101 constituting the attached portion 104 fits. The concave surfaces 311, 312 are formed across the entire lateral area of ​​the pair of fitting pieces 309, 310.

[0048] In this embodiment, of the pair of fitting pieces 309, 310, the lateral length of the upper fitting piece 309 located at the top is shorter than the lateral length of the lower fitting piece 310 located at the bottom. In this embodiment, the upper fitting piece 309 is formed across from one end of the detachable portion 302 to the curved side edge of the main body portion 303 in the lateral direction.

[0049] By fitting the wire 101 into the fitting portion 307, the wire 101 is positioned between the concave surface 311 of the upper fitting piece 309 and the concave surface 312 of the lower fitting piece 310, and the mounting member 300 is configured to be able to move laterally along the wire 101.

[0050] The mounting member 300 configured as described above is attached to the mounting portion 104 of the rack body 100 as shown in FIG. 12, to form the rack 11. Specifically, the fitting portion 307 of the mounting member 300 is fitted externally to the wire 101 constituting the mounting portion 104 to form the rack 11. In this embodiment, the fitting portion 307 is fitted into the mounting portion 104 from the front. In such a rack 11, the mounting member 300 is movable laterally along the wire 101 constituting the mounting portion 104. In addition, in the rack 11, the mounting member 300 is movable between a restricting position where the mounting engagement portion 305 is located on the opposite side of the engagement portion 103 of the rack body 100 via the protruding portion 30 in the vertical direction to restrict the vertical movement of the rack body 100 relative to the protruding portion 30, and a retracted position where the mounting member 300 is retracted from the restricting position to allow the vertical movement of the rack body 100 relative to the protruding portion 30. Furthermore, the main body protruding portion 306 abuts from below against the wire 101 located above the mounting portion 104 of the rack main body 100, and the lower end of the wire 101 enters the concave surface 313. This makes it possible to prevent the mounting member 300 from rotating forward around the wire 101 fitted into the fitting portion 307 as an axis.

[0051] When installing the rack 11 as described above on the installation surface 20, the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 is placed above the protruding portion 30 with the mounting member 300 spaced laterally from the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 as shown in Fig. 13. In this state, the mounting engaging portion 305 is located to the side of the opposite side of the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 across the protruding portion 30 in the vertical direction. This allows the rack body 100 to move vertically relative to the protruding portion 30. That is, in this state, the mounting member 300 is placed in the retracted position.

[0052] Then, as shown in Figs. 14 and 15, the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 is brought into contact with the protruding portion 30 from above, and the operating portion 304 is operated with a finger to move the mounting member 300 toward the protruding portion 30. In this state, the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 is disposed at a position where it engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the shaft portion 31, from above. Furthermore, the mounting engaging portion 305 is disposed on the opposite side of the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 via the protruding portion 30 in the vertical direction, and is disposed at a position where it engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the front flange portion 32, from below. This restricts the vertical movement of the rack body 100 relative to the protruding portion 30. That is, in this state, the mounting member 300 is disposed at a restricting position.

[0053] As described above, when the mounting member 300 is in the restricted position, the mounting engagement portion 305 engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the front flange portion 32, from below, so that the engagement portion 103 of the rack body 100 is restricted from moving upward relative to the protruding portion 30. Also, since the mounting engagement portion 305 engages with the front flange portion 32 relatively close to the front flange portion 32, it is possible to suppress rattling of the rack 11 relative to the protruding portion 30. Also, since the engagement portion 103 of the rack body 100 engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the shaft portion 31, from above, the engagement portion 103 of the rack body 100 is restricted from moving downward relative to the protruding portion 30.

[0054] In the installation structure including the rack 11 and the protruding portion 30 as described above, the mounting member 300 can be moved to a retracted position by operating the operating portion 304 of the mounting member 300 with a finger. This allows the engaging portion 103 of the rack main body 100 to be moved in the vertical direction relative to the protruding portion 30, so that the rack 11 can be installed or removed relative to the protruding portion 30.

[0055] <Third embodiment> A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 16 to 20. In this embodiment, the configuration of the mounting member 400 is different from that of the first embodiment. Therefore, the differences from the first embodiment will be described, and the same components will be denoted by the same reference numerals and will not be described repeatedly.

[0056] As shown in Figs. 16 and 17, the mounting member 400 according to this embodiment includes a mounting engagement portion 404 that engages with the protruding portion 30 in the up-down direction. Specifically, the mounting member 400 includes a mounting main body portion 401 and a mounting portion 402 that is attached to the mounted portion 104 of the rack body 100, and the mounting main body portion 401 has the mounting engagement portion 404. In this embodiment, the mounting member 400 includes, as the mounting portion 402, a detachable portion 402 that is configured to be detachable from the mounted portion 104. In the mounting member 400, the mounting main body portion 401 and the detachable portion 402 are integrally formed. In this embodiment, the mounting member 400 is integrally formed as a whole using a resin material.

[0057] The mounting body 401 is composed of a main body part 403, and the main body part 403 has a mounting engagement part 404. The main body part 403 is located above the detachable part 402. The main body part 403 has a lateral length shorter than that of the detachable part 402.

[0058] The main body part 403 is configured so that the protruding part 30 can be arranged on the upper part. The main body part 403 has an attachment engagement part 404 at a position facing the protruding part 30 in the up-down direction when the protruding part 30 is arranged on the upper part. In this embodiment, the main body part 403 has the attachment engagement part 404 at the upper end part. The main body part 403 is formed so that the upper end part protrudes forward. The main body part 403 is configured so that at least the upper end part fits in a part (a part including the engagement part 103 of the rack body 100, specifically, a U-shaped part) formed by bending a part of the wire 101 extending laterally so as to protrude upward.

[0059] The detachable part 402 is located below the mounting body part 401, specifically, the main body part 403. The detachable part 402 includes an insertion part 405 into which the wire 101 constituting the mounted part 104 of the rack body 100 is inserted, and an operation part 406 that is operated when moving the position of the mounting member 400. In this embodiment, the detachable part 402 includes a pair of insertion parts 405 spaced apart in the horizontal direction. The pair of insertion parts 405 are located at both ends of the detachable part 402 in the horizontal direction. Each insertion part 405 includes a pair of opposing insertion pieces 407. The pair of insertion pieces 407 includes, on opposing surfaces, a concave surface 408 into which a part of the wire 101 constituting the mounted part 104 is inserted. The concave surface 408 is formed over the entire horizontal area of ​​each insertion piece 407. By fitting the wire 101 into the fitting portion 405, the wire 101 is positioned between the concave surfaces 408 of a pair of fitting pieces 407, and the mounting member 400 rotates around the wire 101 as an axis, so that the position of the mounting member 400 can be moved back and forth.

[0060] The operating portion 406 extends forward from the fitting portion 405. In addition, the operating portion 406 is inclined downward toward the tip end in the extending direction in a state where the mounting main body portion 401 is arranged along the up-down direction. In addition, the operating portion 406 is formed across both ends of the detachable portion 402 in the lateral direction.

[0061] The mounting member 400 configured as described above is attached to the mounting receiving portion 104 of the rack body 100 as shown in FIG. 18, thereby forming the rack 12. Specifically, the fitting portion 405 of the mounting member 400 is fitted externally to the wire rod 101 constituting the mounting receiving portion 104, thereby forming the rack 12. In such a rack 12, the mounting member 400 can move forward and backward by rotating forward and backward around the wire rod 101 constituting the mounting receiving portion 104 as an axis. Also, in the rack 12, the mounting member 400 can move between a restricting position where the mounting engaging portion 404 is located on the opposite side of the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 via the protruding portion 30 in the vertical direction and restricts the vertical movement of the rack body 100 relative to the protruding portion 30, and a retracted position where the mounting member 400 is retracted from the restricting position and allows the vertical movement of the rack body 100 relative to the protruding portion 30.

[0062] When installing the rack 12 as described above on the installation surface 20, as shown in Fig. 19, the mounting body 401 is moved forward away from the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100, and the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 is disposed above the protruding portion 30. In this state, the mounting engaging portion 404 is located forward in the vertical direction from the position opposite the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 across the protruding portion 30. This allows the rack body 100 to move vertically relative to the protruding portion 30. That is, in this state, the mounting member 400 is disposed in the retracted position.

[0063] Then, as shown in FIG. 20, the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 is brought into contact with the protruding portion 30 from above, and the operating portion 406 is pulled up with a finger to move the mounting member 400 toward the installation target surface 20. In this state, the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 is disposed at a position where it engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the shaft portion 31, from above. Furthermore, the mounting engaging portion 404 is disposed on the opposite side of the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 via the protruding portion 30 in the vertical direction, and is disposed at a position where it engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the rear flange portion 32, from below. This restricts the vertical movement of the rack body 100 relative to the protruding portion 30. That is, in this state, the mounting member 400 is disposed at a restricting position.

[0064] As described above, when the mounting member 400 is in the restricted position, the mounting engagement portion 404 engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the rear flange portion 32, from below, so that the engagement portion 103 of the rack body 100 is restricted from moving upward relative to the protruding portion 30. Also, since the mounting engagement portion 404 engages with the rear flange portion 32 relatively close to the rear flange portion 32, it is possible to suppress rattling of the rack 12 relative to the protruding portion 30. Also, since the engagement portion 103 of the rack body 100 engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the shaft portion 31, from above, the engagement portion 103 of the rack body 100 is restricted from moving downward relative to the protruding portion 30.

[0065] As described above, in the installation structure including the rack 12 and the protruding portion 30, the mounting member 400 can be moved to a retracted position by pressing down the operating portion 406 of the mounting member 400 with a finger. This allows the engaging portion 103 of the rack main body 100 to move vertically relative to the protruding portion 30, so that the rack 12 can be installed or removed relative to the protruding portion 30.

[0066] <Fourth embodiment> A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 21 to 26. This embodiment differs from the first to third embodiments in the configurations of the rack body 100 and the mounting member 500.

In this embodiment, the detachable portion 502 includes a pair of engagement portions 507 spaced apart in the horizontal direction. The pair of engagement portions 507 are connected to the upper ends of the pair of body connecting portions 504. Each engagement portion 507 includes a pair of opposing engagement pieces 508. The pair of engagement pieces 508 includes, on opposing surfaces, concave surfaces 509 into which a part of the wire 101 constituting the mounted portion 104 is engaged. The concave surfaces 509 are formed across the entire horizontal area of ​​each engagement piece 508. By fitting the wire 101 into each fitting portion 507, the wire 101 is positioned between the concave surfaces 509 of a pair of fitting pieces 508, and the mounting member 500 rotates around the wire 101 as an axis, so that the position of the mounting member 500 can be moved back and forth.

[0073] The mounting member 500 configured as described above is attached to the mounting portion 104 of the rack body 100 as shown in FIG. 24, thereby forming the rack 13. Specifically, the fitting portion 507 of the mounting member 500 is fitted externally to the wire rod 101 constituting the mounting portion 104, thereby forming the rack 13. In such a rack 13, the mounting member 500 can move forward and backward by rotating forward and backward around the wire rod 101 constituting the mounting portion 104 as an axis. Also, in the rack 13, the mounting member 500 can move between a restricting position where the mounting engagement portion 505 is located on the opposite side of the engagement portion 105 of the rack body 100 via the protruding portion 30 in the vertical direction and restricts the vertical movement of the rack body 100 relative to the protruding portion 30, and a retracted position where the mounting member 500 retreats from the restricting position and allows the vertical movement of the rack body 100 relative to the protruding portion 30.

[0074] When installing the rack 13 as described above on the installation surface 20, as shown in Fig. 25, the mounting body 501 is moved forward away from the engaging portion 105 of the rack body 100, and the engaging portion 105 of the rack body 100 is placed above the protruding portion 30. In this state, the mounting engaging portion 505 is located forward in the vertical direction from the position opposite the engaging portion 105 of the rack body 100 across the protruding portion 30. This allows the rack body 100 to move in the vertical direction relative to the protruding portion 30. That is, in this state, the mounting member 500 is placed in the retracted position.

[0075] Then, as shown in FIG. 26, the engaging portion 105 of the rack body 100 is brought into contact with the protruding portion 30 from above, and the operating portion 506 is pressed down with a finger to move the mounting member 500 toward the installation target surface 20.

Specifically, each main body part 603 is formed so that its upper end protrudes rearward from the main body connecting part 604, and is provided with the attachment engagement part 605 at the protruding part.

[0082] The pair of main body connecting parts 604 extend upward from the pair of main body parts 603. The pair of main body connecting parts 604 have their upper ends on the outer sides in the lateral direction connected to the detachable part 602.

[0083] The detachable part 602 is connected to the mounting main body part 601, specifically, to the upper end parts of a pair of main body connecting parts 604. The detachable part 602 also includes a pair of fitting parts 606 into which the wires 101 constituting the mounted part 104 of the rack main body 100 are fitted, and a fitting connecting part 607 that connects the pair of fitting parts 606.

[0084] The pair of fitting parts 606 are arranged with a gap therebetween in the horizontal direction. The pair of fitting parts 606 are located at both ends of the detachable part 602 in the horizontal direction. The pair of fitting parts 606 are connected to the mounting body part 601, specifically, the pair of body connecting parts 604, at their ends on the inner side in the horizontal direction. As a result, the pair of body connecting parts 604 extend downward from between the pair of fitting parts 606. Each fitting part 606 has a pair of opposing fitting pieces 608. The pair of fitting pieces 608 have, on their opposing surfaces, concave surfaces 609 into which a part of the wire 101 constituting the attached part 104 fits. The concave surfaces 609 are formed over the entire horizontal area of ​​each fitting piece 608. The fitting connecting part 607 is formed so that the horizontal direction is the long direction, and both ends in the long direction are connected to the pair of fitting parts 606. Moreover, the fitting connection portion 607 is formed so that the lower end surface is curved upward.

[0085] By fitting the wire 101 into each fitting portion 606, the wire 101 is positioned between the concave surfaces 609 of a pair of fitting pieces 608, and the mounting member 600 rotates around the wire 101 as an axis, so that the mounting member 600 is configured to be movable back and forth.

[0086] The mounting member 600 configured as described above is attached to the mounting portion 104 of the rack body 100 as shown in FIG. 29, to form the rack 14. Specifically, the fitting portion 606 of the mounting member 600 is fitted externally to the wire rod 101 constituting the mounting portion 104 to form the rack 14. In such a rack 14, the mounting member 600 can move forward and backward by rotating forward and backward around the wire rod 101 constituting the mounting portion 104 as an axis. Also, in such a rack 14, the mounting member 600 can move between a restricting position where the mounting engagement portion 605 is located on the opposite side of the engagement portion 105 of the rack body 100 via the protruding portion 30 in the vertical direction to restrict the vertical movement of the rack body 100 relative to the protruding portion 30, and a retracted position where the mounting member 600 retreats from the restricting position and allows the vertical movement of the rack body 100 relative to the protruding portion 30.

[0087] When the rack 14 as described above is installed on the installation target surface 20, as shown in FIG. 30, the engaging portion 105 of the rack body 100 is disposed above the protruding portion 30, and the pair of main body portions 603 are abutted against the protruding portion 30, specifically, the rear flange portion 32, from above. Then, the engaging portion 105 of the rack body 100 is moved downward relative to the protruding portion 30. As a result, the pair of main body portions 603 move so that the lateral distance increases at the position where they abut against the protruding portion 30. In this state, the mounting engaging portion 605 provided on each of the pair of main body portions 603 is positioned laterally outward from the position opposite the engaging portion 105 of the rack body 100 via the protruding portion 30 in the vertical direction. As a result, the vertical movement of the rack body 100 relative to the protruding portion 30 is permitted. That is, in this state, the mounting member 600 is disposed in the retreated position.

[0088] Then, as shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, the engaging portion 105 of the rack body 100 is brought into contact with the protruding portion 30 from above. In this state, the engaging portion 105 of the rack body 100 is disposed at a position where it engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the shaft portion 31, from above. Furthermore, the mounting engaging portion 605 is disposed on the opposite side of the engaging portion 105 of the rack body 100 through the protruding portion 30 in the vertical direction, and is disposed at a position where it engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the rear flange portion 32, from below. This restricts the vertical movement of the rack body 100 relative to the protruding portion 30. That is, in this state, the mounting member 600 is disposed at a restricting position. That is, the mounting member 600 moves from the retracted position to the restricting position in conjunction with the rack body 100 moving downward relative to the protruding portion 30 so as to engage the engaging portion 105 of the rack body 100 with the protruding portion 30.

[0089] As described above, when the mounting member 600 is in the restricted position, the mounting engagement portion 605 engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the rear flange portion 32, from below, so that the engagement portion 105 of the rack body 100 is restricted from moving upward relative to the protruding portion 30. Also, since the mounting engagement portion 605 engages with the rear flange portion 32 relatively close to the rear flange portion 32, it is possible to suppress rattling of the rack 14 relative to the protruding portion 30. Also, since the engagement portion 105 of the rack body 100 engages with the protruding portion 30 from above, the engagement portion 105 of the rack body 100 is restricted from moving downward relative to the protruding portion 30.

[0090] In the installation structure including the rack 14 and the protruding parts 30 as described above, by lifting the rack 14, the lateral distance between the pair of main body parts 603 is widened by the protruding parts 30, specifically, the rear flange parts 32, so that the mounting member 600 can be moved to a retracted position. This allows the engaging parts 105 of the rack body 100 to move vertically relative to the protruding parts 30, so that the rack 14 can be installed or removed relative to the protruding parts 30.

[0091] Sixth Embodiment A sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 33 to 42. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the configurations of the rack body 100 and the mounting member 700.

[0092] In this embodiment, the rack body 100 has an attachment portion 106 formed by a wire 101 extending in the vertical direction, as shown in Fig. 33. The rack body 100 also has the attachment portion 106 on the outer side of the engagement portion 103 in the lateral direction.

[0093] In this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 34 to 36, the mounting member 700 includes a mounting engagement portion 705 that engages with the protruding portion 30 in the up-down direction. Specifically, the mounting member 700 includes a mounting main body portion 701 and a mounting portion 702 that is attached to the mounted portion 106 of the rack body 100, and the mounting main body portion 701 has the mounting engagement portion 705. In this embodiment, the mounting member 700 includes, as the mounting portion 702, a detachable portion 702 that is configured to be detachable from the mounted portion 106. In the mounting member 700, the mounting main body portion 701 and the detachable portion 702 are integrally formed. In this embodiment, the mounting member 700 is integrally formed as a whole using a resin material.

[0094] The mounting body 701 is located in front of the detachable part 702. The mounting body 701 is formed such that the horizontal direction is the long direction. In this embodiment, the mounting body 701 is formed in a plate shape and arranged along the up-down direction. The mounting body 701 includes a main body part 703 including one end in the horizontal direction, and a main body connecting part 704 including the other end in the horizontal direction and connected to the main body part 703 and the detachable part 702, and the main body part 703 has a mounting engagement part 705. The mounting body 701 includes an operation part 706 at one end in the horizontal direction that is operated when moving the position of the mounting member 700.

[0095] The main body part 703 is located rearward of the main body connecting part 704. The main body part 703 is configured so that the protruding part 30 can be disposed above it. The main body part 703 is provided with an attachment engagement part 705 at a position facing the protruding part 30 in the up-down direction when the protruding part 30 is disposed above it. In this embodiment, the main body part 703 is provided with the attachment engagement part 705 at its upper end. The main body part 703 is also provided with an operation part 706 at one lateral end.

[0096] The main body connecting part 704 has a bent shape such that a region including an end portion on the main body part 703 side protrudes backward. The end portion on the main body part 703 side of the main body connecting part 704 is connected to the main body part 703, and the region other than the region protruding backward is connected to the detachable part 702.

[0097] The detachable part 702 is located behind the mounting main body part 701. The detachable part 702 is connected to the mounting main body part 701, specifically, to the main body connecting part 704, at a position laterally separated from the mounting engagement part 705. The detachable part 702 is also provided with a fitting part 707 into which the wire 101 constituting the rack main body 100 is fitted, and an abutment part 708 that abuts against the installation target surface 20.

[0098] The fitting portion 707 is located between the mounting main body portion 701 and the abutment portion 708 in the front-rear direction. The fitting portion 707 is connected to the mounting main body portion 701 and the abutment portion 708. The fitting portion 707 has a shape that is curved in the lateral direction toward the side away from the mounting engagement portion 705, and is configured so that the wire 101 extending in the up-down direction can be fitted inside.

[0099] The abutting portion 708 has a plate shape that conforms to the mounting main body 701. Of both ends in the lateral direction, one end on the mounting engagement portion 705 side is connected to the fitting portion 707.

[0100] The mounting member 700 configured as described above is attached to the mounting receiving portion 106 of the rack body 100 as shown in Figs. 37 and 38, thereby forming the rack 15. Specifically, the fitting portion 707 of the mounting member 700 is fitted externally onto the wire 101 constituting the mounting receiving portion 106, thereby forming the rack 15. In such a rack 15, the mounting member 700 is movable between a restricting position where the mounting engagement portion 705 is located on the opposite side of the engagement portion 103 of the rack body 100 via the protruding portion 30 in the vertical direction and restricts the vertical movement of the rack body 100 relative to the protruding portion 30, and a retracted position where the mounting member 700 is retracted from the restricting position and allows the vertical movement of the rack body 100 relative to the protruding portion 30.

[0101] When the rack 15 as described above is installed on the installation target surface 20, as shown in Figs. 39 and 40, the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 is disposed above the protruding portion 30, and the mounting body portion 701, specifically, the main body portion 703, is pushed forward by the protruding portion 30. At this time, the abutting portion 708 of the mounting member 700 is in abutment with the installation target surface 20. In this state, the mounting engaging portion 705 is located forward in the vertical direction from the position on the opposite side of the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 via the protruding portion 30. This allows the rack body 100 to move in the vertical direction relative to the protruding portion 30. That is, in this state, the mounting member 700 is disposed in the retreated position.

[0102] Then, as shown in FIGS. 41 and 42, the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 is brought into contact with the protruding portion 30 from above. In this state, the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 is disposed at a position where it engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the shaft portion 31, from above. Furthermore, the mounting engaging portion 705 is disposed on the opposite side of the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 via the protruding portion 30 in the vertical direction, and is disposed at a position where it engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the front flange portion 32, from below. This restricts the vertical movement of the rack body 100 relative to the protruding portion 30. That is, in this state, the mounting member 700 is disposed at a restricting position. Thus, in this embodiment, the mounting member 700 moves from the retracted position to the restricting position in conjunction with the movement of the rack body 100 downward relative to the protruding portion 30 so as to engage the engaging portion 103 of the rack body 100 with the protruding portion 30.

[0103] As described above, when the mounting member 700 is in the restricted position, the mounting engagement portion 705 engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the front flange portion 32, from below, so that the engagement portion 103 of the rack body 100 is restricted from moving upward relative to the protruding portion 30. Also, since the mounting engagement portion 705 engages with the front flange portion 32 relatively close to the front flange portion 32, it is possible to suppress rattling of the rack 15 relative to the protruding portion 30. Also, since the engagement portion 103 of the rack body 100 engages with the protruding portion 30, specifically, the shaft portion 31, from above, the engagement portion 103 of the rack body 100 is restricted from moving downward relative to the protruding portion 30.

[0104] In the installation structure including the rack 15 and the protruding portion 30 as described above, the mounting member 700 can be moved to a retracted position by moving the operating portion 706 of the mounting member 700 forward with a finger. This allows the engagement portion 103 of the rack main body 100 to be moved upward relative to the protruding portion 30, so that the rack 15 can be installed or removed relative to the protruding portion 30.

[0105] As described above, according to this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the racks 10 to 15 from coming off the installation surface 20 due to rotation.
