[0017] [First Example] FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of a suspension stand according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
[0018] 1(a) is an exploded view of the first hanging hardware 4, showing the first plate 41 at the bottom and the first L-shaped steel 42 at the top. The first plate 41 has a substantially inverted trapezoidal shape, and the first L-shaped steel 42 is an angle with an L-shaped cross section.
[0019] 1(b) shows the first hanging hardware 4 configured by joining and connecting the first plate 41 and the first L-shaped steel 42. That is, one first side 42a arranged in the vertical direction of the first L-shaped steel 42 is joined and connected by a bolt 42c to the upper end of the first plate 41 that is erected in the vertical direction, whereby the other first side 42b of the first L-shaped steel 42 is arranged in a horizontal state.
[0020] 1(c) is an upper perspective view showing one of the multiple vertical frame members 2. This vertical frame member 2 is composed of a first L-shaped steel column 20 and a second L-shaped steel column 21, which are angles with an L-shaped cross section, assembled together.
[0021] That is, the first L-shaped steel column 20 has one first column one side 20a and the other first column one side 20b, and the second L-shaped steel column 21 has one second column one side 21a and the other second column one side 21b. The other first column one side 20b of the first L-shaped steel column 20 and one second column one side 21a of the second L-shaped steel column 21 are arranged facing each other with a predetermined gap S between them and are connected by bolts, nuts (not shown), etc. As a result, one first column one side 20a of the first L-shaped steel column 20 and the other second column one side 21b of the second L-shaped steel column 21 are arranged in a flush state.
[0022] 1(d) is a perspective view showing a state in which the above-mentioned first hanging fitting 4 is connected to the upper end of the vertical frame member 2. That is, the lower part of the first plate 41 is joined and connected to the upper end of one of the first column side surfaces 20a of the first L-shaped steel column 20 by a bolt 42d. Note that, during this joining and connection, the joining and connection are performed by aligning the position so that the above-mentioned gap S is not blocked.
[0023] It should be noted that the assembly procedures shown in FIGS. 1(a), (b), (c), and (d) are provided for the purpose of easy-to-understand explanation, and the procedures used in actual manufacturing are not necessarily limited to these.
[0024] Fig. 2 is a front view (a) and a perspective view (b) showing the first hanging fitting 4 attached to the upper ends of the four vertical frame members 2, 2, 2, 2 as described above. The first hanging fitting 4 shown in Fig. 1 corresponds to the first hanging fitting 4 at the far right in Fig. 2. In the case of Fig. 2, the direction of the first L-shaped steel 42 of each first hanging fitting 4 is perpendicular to the paper surface in (a), and faces upward and to the right (downward and to the left) in (b). Furthermore, it faces inward of the four vertical frame members 2. In the first embodiment, the first hanging fitting 4 is an example of a hanging fitting of the present invention.

[0030] 4(b) shows the second hanging hardware 5 configured by joining and connecting the second plate 51 and the second L-shaped steel 52. That is, one second side 52a arranged vertically of the second L-shaped steel 52 is joined and connected by a bolt 52c to the upper end of the second plate 51 that is erected vertically, so that the other second side 52b of the second L-shaped steel 52 is arranged horizontally. Up to this point, it is the same as the first hanging hardware 4 in FIG. 1. However, the arrangement direction is different. That is, the second L-shaped steel 52 is arranged perpendicular to the first L-shaped steel 42.
[0031] FIG. 4(c) shows the vertical frame member 2 of FIG. 1(c) itself.
[0032] FIG. 4(d) is a perspective view showing the state in which the second hanging fitting 5 described above is connected to the upper end of the vertical frame member 2.
[0033] That is, the lower part of the second plate 51 of the second hanging hardware 5 is inserted into a predetermined gap S formed between the other first column one side 20b of the first L-shaped steel column 20 and one second column one side 21a of the second L-shaped steel column 21, and fixed to the gap S by the bolt 52d. That is, it is fixed by the bolt 52d that penetrates the first column one side 20b and the second column one side 21a. Alternatively, it may be fixed to only one of the column one sides 20b, 21a.
[0034] By doing this, the direction in which the other second side 52b of the second L-shaped steel 52 of the second hanging bracket 5 faces is perpendicular to the direction in which the other first side 42b of the first L-shaped steel 42 of the first hanging bracket 4 faces.
[0035] Fig. 5(a) is a front view of the hanging stand completed by combining the first hanging fitting 4 and the second hanging fitting 5. Fig. 5(b) is an enlarged view of the upper part.
