Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fixing body, a fixing structure for an installation body, and a fixing body device for fixing an installation body installed on an installation surface to the installation surface. [Background technology]

[0002] An installation body such as a rack is installed on an installation surface, and is fixed to the installation surface by a fixing body to prevent the installation body from moving due to an earthquake or the like. For example, the earthquake-resistant fastener disclosed in Patent Document 1 fastens equipment to the floor as a fixed object. The equipment has adjusters at the four corners of its underside. The adjusters have a threaded portion screwed into the underside of the equipment, and a hexagonal portion and a base portion integral with the threaded portion.

[0003] The earthquake-resistant fixing device of Patent Document 1 includes a plate-like body, a fixing member provided on the upper surface of the plate-like body, and an impact absorbing material attached to the lower surface of the plate-like body. The fixing member includes a box-shaped body provided on the upper surface of the plate-shaped body. The box-shaped body is open at the front. The box-shaped body also includes a notch in the ceiling. The notch is U-shaped and extends rearward from the front open end of the box-shaped body. The box-shaped body also includes a pair of opposing bolt insertion holes.

[0004] When the earthquake-resistant fixing device is in use, the plate-shaped body is firmly fixed to the floor surface via the shock absorbing material. The threaded portion of the adjuster is inserted into the notch in the fixing member, and the hexagonal portion and base portion are housed inside the box-shaped body. Bolts are inserted into the bolt insertion holes in the fixing member, and nuts are screwed onto the bolts.

[0005] This bolt is located in front of the threaded portion. When the equipment tries to slide forward from the box-shaped body, the threaded portion of the equipment comes into contact with the bolt. This contact prevents the equipment from sliding forward from the box-shaped body. In addition, the ceiling of the box-shaped body is located above the hexagonal portion. When the equipment tries to move upward, the hexagonal portion comes into contact with the ceiling. This contact prevents the equipment from moving upward. In this way, the earthquake-resistant fixing device fixes the equipment to the floor. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-299561 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] The earthquake-resistant fixing device in Patent Document 1 prevents upward movement of equipment by bringing the hexagonal part housed in the box-shaped body into contact with the ceiling. Therefore, the earthquake-resistant fixing device can only prevent upward movement of equipment that has a hexagonal part. In other words, the range of installation objects that can be fixed to the installation surface with the earthquake-resistant fixing device is limited. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The fixture for solving the above problem is a fixture for fixing an installation body to an installation surface, the fixture being plate-shaped and having two perpendicular edge portions interposed between the installation surface and the installation body, the fixture having a mounting surface on the front side on which the installation body is placed and a main body portion whose back side is attached to the installation surface, and two walls rising from each of the two edge portions of the main body portion to the front side, each of the two walls having an abutment surface that contacts the outer surface of the installation body placed on the mounting surface, one of the two walls having an insertion hole through which a winding band wound around the installation body can be inserted, the insertion hole being elongated and extending in the direction of extension of the rising edge portion of the one wall so as to move away from the other wall, the longitudinal dimension of the insertion hole being greater than the width of the winding band.

[0009] With respect to the fixed body, a through hole through which a winding band wound around the installation body can be inserted is also formed in the other of the two walls, the through hole formed in the other wall being elongated, and the through hole extends away from the one wall in the direction in which the rising edge of the other wall extends, and the longitudinal dimension of the through hole may be larger than the width of the winding band inserted into the through hole formed in the other wall.

[0010] The fixing body may have a screw fixing hole formed in at least one of the two walls for driving a screw toward the outer surface of the installation body facing the contact surface. The fixing structure of an installation body for solving the above-mentioned problems is a fixing structure of an installation body in which an installation body to be installed on an installation surface is fixed to the installation surface by a fixing body, the fixing body being the fixing body according to any one of claims 1 to 3, the installation body having four legs, and when two directions along the installation surface and orthogonal to each other are defined as a first direction and a second direction, the four legs have two pairs of legs aligned in the first direction in the second direction, and each of the four legs is placed on the installation surface of the fixing body, and each fixing body is fixed to each fixing body. The back side of the main body of the fixed body is attached to the installation surface, and the two fixed bodies lined up in the first direction are arranged so that one of the two walls is lined up in the first direction, a winding band is inserted into each of the insertion holes formed in one of the walls lined up in the first direction, and the winding band is wound around the installation body, and in each fixed body, the abutment surface of the other wall of the two walls that sandwiches the leg in the second direction together with the winding band is in contact with the leg.

[0011] Regarding the fixing structure of the installation body, the installation body may be a rack having multiple shelves hung across the four legs, and the winding band may be wound around the lowest shelf. The fixed body device for solving the above problem is a fixed body device having a fixed body for fixing an installation body to be installed on an installation surface to the installation surface, and a winding band that is wound around the installation body, and the fixed body is a fixed body described in any one of claims 1 to 3. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] The present invention can widen the range of installation bodies that can be fixed to the installation surface. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0014] Hereinafter, one embodiment embodying the fixed body, the fixing structure of the installation body, and the fixed body device will be described with reference to FIGS. <Installation body S> As shown in FIG. 1, the installation body S is installed on an installation surface F. The installation surface F is, for example, a floor surface. The installation surface F is a horizontal plane. An example of the installation body S is a rack. The installation body S has a plurality of shelf boards 100 and four legs 101. The plurality of shelf boards 100 are hung across the upper ends and middle parts of the four legs 101. The plurality of shelf boards 100 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction of the four legs 101. It can be said that the installation body S has a plurality of tiers of shelf boards 100.

[0015] Each shelf board 100 is in the shape of a rectangular plate. Each shelf board 100 has an upper surface 100a, a lower surface 100b, a pair of short side surfaces 100c, and a pair of long side surfaces 100d. The pair of short side surfaces 100c are both end surfaces in the longitudinal direction of the shelf board 100. The pair of long side surfaces 100d are both end surfaces in the lateral direction of the shelf board 100. Of the multiple shelf boards 100, the lower surface 100b of the shelf board 100 located at the lowest level is spaced above the installation surface F.

[0016] The direction in which the short sides of the upper surface 100a and the lower surface 100b extend is defined as the first direction X. The direction in which the long sides of the upper surface 100a and the lower surface 100b extend is defined as the second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other. The first direction X and the second direction Y are directions that run along the installation surface F and are perpendicular to each other.

[0017] The four legs 101 include two pairs of legs 101 aligned in the first direction X, arranged in the second direction Y. Each of the four legs 101 has a first outer surface 101a, a second outer surface 101b, a third outer surface 101c, and a fourth outer surface 101d. The first outer surface 101a and the third outer surface 101c are parallel to each other, and the second outer surface 101b and the fourth outer surface 101d are parallel to each other. Each of the first to fourth outer surfaces 101a to 101d has a rectangular shape with its longer sides extending in the vertical direction. Therefore, each of the four legs 101 has a rectangular prism shape with its axis extending in the vertical direction.

[0018] The first outer surface 101a is an outer end surface of the installation body S in the first direction X. The second outer surface 101b is an outer end surface of the installation body S in the second direction Y. The third outer surface 101c is an inner end surface facing each other of the legs 101 aligned in the first direction X. Therefore, it can be said that the two legs 101 aligned in the first direction X face each other in the first direction X. The fourth outer surface 101d is an inner end surface facing each other of the legs 101 aligned in the second direction Y. Therefore, it can be said that the two legs 101 aligned in the second direction Y face each other in the second direction Y.

[0019] Each of the short side surfaces 100c of the shelf 100 is joined to the fourth outer surface 101d. Each of the long side surfaces 100d of the shelf 100 is located more inward in the first direction X than the first outer surface 101a of each leg 101. In other words, the long side surfaces 100d of the shelf 100 are located further back than the first outer surfaces 101a. Each of the four legs 101 has an apex 102. The apex 102 is a corner defined by the first outer surface 101a and the second outer surface 101b.

[0020] <Fixed body device 40> The fixed body device 40 has four fixed bodies 10 and two winding bands 30. The installation body S is fixed to the installation surface F by the fixed body device 40.

[0021] <Fixed body 10> The fixed body 10 is used to fix an installation body S to an installation surface F. The installation body S is installed on an installation surface F.

[0022] 2, 3, and 4, fixed body 10 has a main body 20 and two walls, a first wall 21 and a second wall 22. Main body 20, first wall 21, and second wall 22 are each made of metal. Fixed body 10 may also have an adhesive member for adhering fixed body 10 to an installation surface F. An example of the adhesive member is an adhesive mat 50.

[0023] <Main body 20> The main body 20 is in the shape of a rectangular plate. The main body 20 has a mounting surface 20a on one of its two surfaces in the thickness direction, and a back surface 20b on the other. The mounting surface 20a and back surface 20b are parallel. The main body 20 has four edges 20c. When the main body 20 is viewed in the thickness direction, adjacent edges 20c are perpendicular to each other. One of the four edges 20c of the main body 20 is referred to as a first edge 201. Of the four edges 20c, one adjacent to the first edge 201 is referred to as a second edge 202. The first edge 201 and the second edge 202 are perpendicular to each other. The extending direction of the first edge 201 and the extending direction of the second edge 202 are referred to as extension directions V, respectively.

[0024] The main body 20 has four corners. Each of the four corners is formed by adjacent edges 20c. Of the four corners, the corner formed by the first edge 201 and the second edge 202 is defined as the reference corner 203.

[0025] <Adhesive Mat 50> The adhesive mat 50 is made of a gel-like, super-soft urethane with adhesive properties. The adhesive mat 50 is in the form of a square sheet. When viewed in the thickness direction of the adhesive mat 50, the adhesive mat 50 is slightly smaller than the main body 20. The adhesive mat 50 has adhesive surfaces 50a on both sides in the thickness direction. One adhesive surface 50a of the adhesive mat 50 is attached to the back surface 20b of the main body 20. The other adhesive surface 50a of the adhesive mat 50 is attached to the installation surface F. This causes the fixed body 10 to be attached to the installation surface F. Therefore, the back surface 20b side of the main body 20 of the fixed body 10 is attached to the installation surface F.

[0026] <First wall 21 and second wall 22> The first wall 21 rises toward the placing surface 20a from a first edge 201 of the four edge portions 20c of the main body 20. The first wall 21 extends from the reference corner 203 toward another corner of the first edge 201. The dimension of the first wall 21 in the extension direction V is slightly shorter than the entire length of the first edge 201, but may be the same as the entire length of the first edge 201. The second wall 22 rises toward the placing surface 20a from a second edge 202, of the four edge portions 20c of the main body 20, that is adjacent to the rising edge 20c of the first wall 21. The second wall 22 extends from the reference corner 203 toward the other corner of the second edge 202. The dimension of the second wall 22 in the extension direction V is slightly shorter than the entire length of the second edge 202, but may be the same as the entire length of the second edge 202.

[0027] Each of the first wall 21 and the second wall 22 has a first wall forming portion 23 and a second wall forming portion 24. The first wall forming portion 23 is a portion of the first wall 21 and the second wall 22 closer to the reference corner portion 203. The first wall forming portion 23 is in the shape of a vertically long rectangular plate. The longitudinal direction of the first wall forming portion 23 extends in the up-and-down direction. The second wall forming portion 24 is a portion of the first wall 21 and the second wall 22 other than the first wall forming portion 23. The longitudinal direction of the second wall forming portion 24 extends in the extension direction V. The second wall forming portion 24 is in the shape of a horizontally long rectangular plate.

[0028] The upper edge 23a of the first wall forming portion 23 is located up-down above the upper edge 24a of the second wall forming portion 24. The vertical dimension of the first wall forming portion 23 is greater than the vertical dimension of the second wall forming portion 24. The upper edge 23a of the first wall forming portion 23 and the upper edge 24a of the second wall forming portion 24 are parallel to the mounting surface 20a of the main body 20. Therefore, each of the first wall 21 and the second wall 22 is L-shaped when viewed in the thickness direction.

[0029] In the first wall 21 and the second wall 22, the dimension of the first wall forming portion 23 in the extension direction V is smaller than the dimension of the second wall forming portion 24 in the extension direction V. The dimension of the first wall forming portion 23 in the extension direction V is about one-third of the overall length of the first wall 21 and the second wall 22 in the extension direction V. In other words, the dimension of the second wall forming portion 24 in the extension direction V is about two-thirds of the overall length of the first wall 21 and the second wall 22 in the extension direction V.

[0030] Each of the first wall 21 and the second wall 22 has an abutment surface 25 on one of both surfaces in the plate thickness direction. Each abutment surface 25 is also one surface in the plate thickness direction of the first wall forming portion 23 and the second wall forming portion 24. Each abutment surface 25 is continuous with the mounting surface 20a of the main body portion 20. In addition, each abutment surface 25 is perpendicular to the mounting surface 20a.

[0031] The fixed body 10 has an overlapping piece 27 that is continuous with the first wall 21. The overlapping piece 27 extends from the first wall forming portion 23. The overlapping piece 27 is perpendicular to the first wall forming portion 23. An upper edge 27a of the overlapping piece 27 is continuous with the upper edge 23a of the first wall forming portion 23. In other words, the vertical dimension of the overlapping piece 27 is the same as the vertical dimension of the first wall forming portion 23. The overlapping piece 27 is overlapped with the second wall 22.

[0032] Each of the first wall 21 and the second wall 22 has two screw fixing holes 28. The two screw fixing holes 28 are formed in the first wall forming portion 23. Each of the two screw fixing holes 28 is elongated. Each of the two screw fixing holes 28 penetrates the first wall forming portion 23 in the plate thickness direction. The longitudinal directions of the two screw fixing holes 28 formed in the first wall 21 extend in the extension direction V when the first wall forming portion 23 is viewed in the plate thickness direction. The two screw fixing holes 28 formed in the first wall 21 are parallel to each other. The longitudinal directions of the two screw fixing holes 28 formed in the second wall 22 extend in the up-down direction when the first wall forming portion 23 is viewed in the plate thickness direction. The two screw fixing holes 28 formed in the second wall 22 are parallel to each other. Each screw fixing hole 28 is a hole for driving a screw 39 toward the outer surface of the leg portion 101 facing the abutment surface 25 when the leg portion 101 is placed on the placement surface 20 a of the fixed body 10 .

[0033] Each of the first wall 21 and the second wall 22 has one insertion hole 29. That is, the insertion hole 29 is formed in both the first wall 21 and the second wall 22. The insertion hole 29 is formed in each second wall forming portion 24. When the second wall forming portion 24 is viewed in the plate thickness direction, the insertion hole 29 is in the shape of an elongated hole. The insertion hole 29 also penetrates the second wall forming portion 24 in the plate thickness direction. When the second wall forming portion 24 is viewed in the plate thickness direction, the insertion hole 29 extends longitudinally in the extension direction V. The longitudinal direction of each insertion hole 29 is parallel to the edge portion 20c.

[0034] A first longitudinal end 29a of the insertion hole 29 is the end closer to the first wall forming portion 23. A second longitudinal end 29b of the insertion hole 29 is the end of the second wall forming portion 24 in the longitudinal direction that is closer to the end opposite the first wall forming portion 23. The insertion hole 29 formed in the first wall 21 extends from the first end 29a toward the second end 29b, thereby extending away from the second wall 22. The insertion hole 29 formed in the second wall 22 extends from the first end 29a toward the second end 29b, thereby extending away from the first wall 21.

[0035] The dimension between the first end 29a and the second end 29b is defined as a first opening width W1 of the insertion hole 29. This first opening width W1 is the dimension of the insertion hole 29 in the longitudinal direction. The opening width of the insertion hole 29 in the up-down direction is defined as a second opening width W2. The first opening width W1 is smaller than the dimension of the second wall forming portion 24 in the extension direction V. The insertion hole 29 is disposed within the dimension of the second wall forming portion 24 in the extension direction V.

[0036] A first end 29a of the insertion hole 29 is located closer to the second wall forming portion 24 than the boundary between the first wall forming portion 23 and the second wall forming portion 24. Therefore, the insertion hole 29 is not formed in the first wall forming portion 23. The edges along the insertion hole 29 are chamfered.

[0037] The insertion hole 29 is disposed at a position closer to the mounting surface 20a of the main body 20 than the center in the vertical direction of the second wall forming portion 24. In other words, the insertion hole 29 is disposed at a position closer to the mounting surface 20a than the upper edge 24a of the second wall forming portion 24.

[0038] <Wrapping band 30> As shown in FIG. 5, the wrapping band 30 has a strip-shaped band body 31 and a buckle 32 integrated with the band body 31. The band body 31 is formed of, for example, thick cloth, leather, or flexible resin. The sum of twice the dimension of the shelf board 100 in the first direction X and twice the dimension of the shelf board 100 in the up-down direction is defined as the added value. The length of the band body 31 in the longitudinal direction is longer than the added value. The length of the portion of the band body 31 that is longer than the added value is defined as the excess length value. The excess length value is, for example, slightly longer than the dimension of the long side surface 100d in the up-down direction. The length of the band body 31 in the longitudinal direction is the length with excess length when the shelf board 100 is wrapped once.

[0039] The band body 31 has a pair of long side edges 31a. The pair of long side edges 31a are parallel. The shortest distance between the pair of long side edges 31a is the width W3 of the band body 31. The width W3 of the band body 31 is shorter than the first opening width W1 of the insertion hole 29. The width W3 of the band body 31 is approximately half the first opening width W1 of the insertion hole 29. The thickness of the band body 31 is slightly smaller than the second opening width W2 of the insertion hole 29. Therefore, the band body 31 can be inserted into the insertion hole 29. Inside the insertion hole 29, the insertion position of the band body 31 relative to the insertion hole 29 can be changed in the longitudinal direction of the insertion hole 29.

[0040] The buckle 32 is a component for fastening the band body 31 inserted into the buckle 32. The buckle 32 prevents the band body 31 inserted into the buckle 32 from coming undone.

[0041] <Fixing structure of installation body S> As shown in FIGS. 1, 5, and 6, four fixed bodies 10 are fixed to the installation surface F. Each of the four fixed bodies 10 is attached to the installation surface F by an adhesive mat 50. Two of the four fixed bodies 10 are arranged side by side so as to face each other in the first direction X. Furthermore, the four fixed bodies 10 are arranged side by side so that two pairs of fixed bodies 10 facing each other in the first direction X face each other in the second direction Y.

[0042] In the following description, in some cases, of the two fixed bodies 10 facing each other in the first direction X, one fixed body 10 will be referred to as a first fixed body 10A, and the other fixed body 10 will be referred to as a second fixed body 10B.

[0043] First fixed body 10A and second fixed body 10B are arranged such that first wall 21 of first fixed body 10A and second wall 22 of second fixed body 10B face each other in first direction X, with both main body portions 20 sandwiched between them. Therefore, for two first fixed bodies 10A and two second fixed bodies 10B aligned in first direction X, one wall of first fixed body 10A is first wall 21 and one wall of second fixed body 10B is second wall 22. Therefore, first fixed body 10A and second fixed body 10B aligned in first direction X are arranged such that one of the two walls faces each other in first direction X. Note that in two pairs aligned in second direction Y, the arrangement of first fixed body 10A and second fixed body 10B is reversed in first direction X.

[0044] The lower end surfaces of the legs 101 are placed on the mounting surface 20a of each fixed body 10. Therefore, each of the four legs 101 is placed on the mounting surface 20a of the fixed body 10, and the back side of the main body 20 of each fixed body 10 is attached to the installation surface F by an adhesive mat 50. At this time, the main body 20 is interposed between the installation surface F and the lower end surfaces of the legs 101. Therefore, the main body 20 can be said to be a plate-like shape that is interposed between the installation surface F and the installation body S and has a first edge 201 and a second edge 202 that are perpendicular to each other. Furthermore, the main body 20 has the mounting surface 20a on the front side on which the installation body S is placed, and the back side 20b can be said to be attached to the installation surface F. Furthermore, the first fixed body 10A and the second fixed body 10B are arranged side by side in the first direction X, facing each other, with the first wall 21 of the first fixed body 10A and the second wall 22 of the second fixed body 10B sandwiching the two leg portions 101 therebetween.

[0045] The apex 102 of each leg portion 101 is aligned with the reference corner portion 203 of each fixed body 10. The abutment surface 25 of the first wall 21 of the first fixed body 10A is in contact with the first outer surface 101a facing the abutment surface 25, and the abutment surface 25 of the second wall 22 is in contact with the second outer surface 101b facing the abutment surface 25. The abutment surface 25 of the second wall 22 of the second fixed body 10B is in contact with the first outer surface 101a, and the abutment surface 25 of the first wall 21 is in contact with the second outer surface 101b. Therefore, between the fixed bodies 10 lined up opposite each other in the first direction X, the abutment surface 25 of the remaining wall of the first wall 21 and the second wall 22, through which the band body 31 of the winding band 30 is not inserted, is in contact with the leg portion 101.

[0046] The band body 31 of the winding band 30 is inserted through the insertion hole 29 of the first wall 21 of the first stationary body 10A and the insertion hole 29 of the second wall 22 of the second stationary body 10B. The band body 31 is along one long side surface 100d, the upper surface 100a, the other long side surface 100d, and the lower surface 100b. The band body 31 is in contact with one long side surface 100d, the upper surface 100a, and the other long side surface 100d. In this manner, the band body 31 is wound around the lowermost shelf board 100. In other words, the winding band 30 is wound around the installation body S. The band body 31 is fastened by the buckle 32. In other words, the band body 31 is wound around the shelf board 100 in a state in which movement of the shelf board 100 in the longitudinal direction is restricted.

[0047] The fixed body 10 is fixed to the installation surface F by an adhesive mat 50. The band main body 31 is inserted into the insertion hole 29 of the fixed body 10 fixed to the installation surface F. Therefore, the installation body S is fixed to the installation surface F by the fixed body 10 and the winding band 30. In other words, the installation body S is fixed to the installation surface F by the fixed body device 40.

[0048] When wrapping the band body 31 around the shelf board 100, the band body 31 is moved along the longitudinal direction of the insertion hole 29 to bring the band body 31 close to the fourth outer surface 101d of the leg portion 101. One long side edge 31a of the band body 31 is in contact with the fourth outer surface 101d of each leg portion 101.

[0049] Tightening by the buckle 32 restricts the movement of the winding band 30 in the longitudinal direction of the shelf board 100. In other words, the movement of the winding band 30 in the longitudinal direction of the insertion hole 29 is restricted. The leg 101 placed on the first fixed body 10A is sandwiched between the band body 31 and the second wall 22. Similarly, the leg 101 placed on the second fixed body 10B is sandwiched between the band body 31 and the first wall 21.

[0050] Therefore, in the first fixed body 10A, of the two walls, the abutment surface 25 of the second wall 22, which, together with the winding band 30, sandwiches the leg portion 101 in the second direction Y, is in contact with the second outer surface 101b of the leg portion 101. Also, in the second fixed body 10B, of the two walls, the abutment surface 25 of the first wall 21, which, together with the winding band 30, sandwiches the leg portion 101 in the second direction Y, is in contact with the second outer surface 101b of the leg portion 101.

[0051] <Operation of the embodiment> In the fixing structure of the fixing body device 40 and the installation body S, the fixing body 10 is attached to the installation surface F by an adhesive mat 50. A band main body 31 is inserted into the insertion hole 29 of the fixing body 10. Therefore, the winding band 30 is fixed to the installation surface F by the fixing body 10. The band main body 31 of the winding band 30 is fastened to the shelf board 100 by a buckle 32. Therefore, the band main body 31 is wound around the shelf board 100 in a state of contact with the shelf board 100.

[0052] As described above, the winding band 30 is fixed to the installation surface F by the fixing body 10. Therefore, it can be said that the shelf board 100 is fixed to the installation surface F by the band main body 31. Furthermore, the shelf board 100 is pressed toward the installation surface F by the band main body 31. In addition, the shelf board 100 is sandwiched between the band main body 31 in the short direction of the shelf board 100.

[0053] When an earthquake occurs, the upward movement of the shelf board 100 is suppressed by the winding band 30. Therefore, the upward movement of the installation body S is suppressed by the fixing body device 40. The movement of the installation body S in the first direction X is suppressed by the winding band 30, the first wall 21, and the second wall 22. Therefore, the movement of the installation body S in the first direction X is suppressed by the fixing body device 40. The movement of the installation body S in the second direction Y is suppressed by the first wall 21, the second wall 22, and the winding band 30. Therefore, the movement of the installation body S in the second direction Y is suppressed by the fixing body device 40.

[0054] According to the above embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. (1) The fixed body 10 is attached to the installation surface F by an adhesive mat 50. This fixed body 10 has insertion holes 29 in the first wall 21 and the second wall 22. When the band main body 31 of the winding band 30 is inserted into the insertion hole 29, the winding band 30 can be integrated with the fixed body 10. Then, by winding the band main body 31 around the installation body S, the winding band 30 and the fixed body 10 can suppress upward movement of the installation body S. Therefore, if the winding band 30 can be wound around the installation body S using the fixed body 10, the upward movement of the installation body S can be suppressed. Therefore, even if the leg portion 101 does not have a portion such as an adjuster, the installation body S can be fixed to the installation surface F by the fixed body 10 and the winding band 30. Therefore, the fixed body 10 and the fixed body device 40 can expand the range of installation bodies S that can be fixed to the installation surface F.

[0055] (2) The first opening width W1 of the insertion hole 29 is larger than the width W3 of the band main body 31. Therefore, the position of the winding band 30 relative to the fixed body 10 can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction of the insertion hole 29. Therefore, the position where the leg 101 is sandwiched between the fixed body 10 and the band main body 31 can be changed, and the winding band 30 can be wound around the shelf board 100. Therefore, the fixed body 10 and the winding band 30 can accommodate installation bodies S having leg parts 101 of different thicknesses.

[0056] (3) The fixed body 10 has a first wall 21 and a second wall 22. The first wall 21 and the second wall 22 are perpendicular to each other and rise from the main body 20. Therefore, when the band main body 31 is inserted into the insertion hole 29 of one of the first wall 21 and the second wall 22, the leg portion 101 can be sandwiched in the second direction Y by the other wall sandwiching the leg portion 101 in the second direction Y together with the winding band 30. As a result, movement of the installation body S in the second direction Y can be suppressed.

[0057] (4) The leg portion 101 is tightly sandwiched between the long side edge 31a of the band body 31 and the abutment surface 25 of the other wall sandwiching the leg portion 101 together with the winding band 30 in the second direction Y. Therefore, the leg portion 101 can be fixed to the installation surface F with no room for movement of the leg portion 101 in the second direction Y. Any vibration in one direction in the second direction Y is immediately absorbed by the winding band 30 that is integral with one of the fixed bodies 10 on both sides in the second direction Y. Therefore, the load absorbed by the other fixed body 10 on both sides in the second direction Y can be reduced, thereby preventing the other fixed body 10 from peeling off from the installation surface F.

[0058] (5) The band body 31 of the winding band 30 is wound around the lowest shelf board 100. In other words, the band body 31 is wound around the shelf board 100 that is closest to the installation surface F. Therefore, the task of winding the band body 31 around the installation body S can be performed without using a stepladder or the like.

[0059] (6) The edges along the insertion holes 29 are chamfered. This prevents the band body 31 from being damaged when the band body 31 is inserted into the insertion holes 29 and tightened. (7) The insertion hole 29 is disposed at a position close to the placement surface 20a in the second wall forming portion 24. Therefore, the band body 31 pulled out from the insertion hole 29 toward the shelf board 100 is less likely to interfere with the shelf board 100. This makes it easier to insert the band body 31 into the insertion hole 29 and wrap it around the shelf board 100.

[0060] This embodiment can be modified as follows: This embodiment and the following modifications can be combined and implemented within the scope of technical compatibility. As shown in Fig. 7, the installation body S may be of multiple types, each having different thicknesses of the four legs 101. There is an installation body S having legs 101 shown by the solid lines in Fig. 7, and there is an installation body S having legs 101 shown by the two-dot chain lines in Fig. 7.

[0061] The installation body fixing device may be configured from two types of installation bodies S and the fixing body 10. At this time, the area of ​​the mounting surface 20a of the main body 20 is set to a size that allows the entire lower end surface of the leg 101 of the installation body S having the thick leg 101 to be placed on it. Therefore, the entire lower end surface of the leg 101 of the installation body S having the thin leg 101 of the two types of installation bodies S can also be placed on the mounting surface 20a.

[0062] Furthermore, the first opening width W1 of the insertion hole 29 is larger than the difference H in thickness between the two types of leg portions 101. In this configuration, even if the installation body S has leg portions 101 with different thicknesses, the leg portions 101 can be sandwiched using the fixed body 10 and the winding band 30.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 8 , when the installation body S is fixed to the installation surface F by the fixing body 10, a screw 39 is inserted into the screw fixing hole 28. Then, the screw 39 inserted into the insertion hole 29 is driven into the outer surface of the leg part 101 facing the abutment surface 25. Then, the installation body S may be fixed to the fixing body 10 by both the winding band 30 and the screw 39. Alternatively, the installation body S may be fixed to the fixing body 10 by only the screw 39. In this configuration, it is possible to use either or both of the winding band 30 and the screw 39 depending on the installation environment of the installation body S and the shapes of the installation body S and the leg part 101, etc.

[0064] Furthermore, when the installation body S is fixed to the fixed body 10 using both the winding band 30 and the screw 39, the band body 31 can prevent the leg 101 of the installation body S from shaking horizontally, thereby preventing damage to the fixing point of the screw 39 to the leg 101.

[0065] The screw fixing hole 28 may be omitted. Alternatively, the first wall forming portion 23 may have only one screw fixing hole 28 instead of two adjacent holes, or may have three or more holes. Either the screw fixing hole 28 of the first wall 21 or the screw fixing hole 28 of the second wall 22 may be omitted.

[0066] Two types of fixed bodies 10 may be prepared. Specifically, a fixed body 10 having insertion holes 29 formed only in the first wall 21 and a fixed body 10 having insertion holes 29 formed only in the second wall 22 are prepared. The fixed body 10 having insertion holes 29 formed only in the first wall 21 is used as a first fixed body 10A, and the fixed body 10 having insertion holes 29 formed only in the second wall 22 is used as a second fixed body 10B.

[0067] The band body 31 of the winding band 30 may be wound around all of the shelf boards 100 so as to follow the top surface 100a of the top shelf board 100, rather than the bottom shelf board 100. Alternatively, the band body 31 of the winding band 30 may be wound around all of the shelf boards 100 so as to follow the top surface 100a of a shelf board 100 located midway between the top shelf board 100 and the bottom shelf board 100.

[0068] The winding band 30 may be wound around the shelf board 100 by inserting the band body 31 into the insertion holes 29 of the stationary bodies 10 aligned in the second direction Y. In this case, of two stationary bodies 10 aligned in the second direction Y, the band body 31 of the winding band 30 is inserted into the insertion hole 29 of the second wall 22 of one of the stationary bodies 10. In addition, the band body 31 is inserted into the insertion hole 29 of the first wall 21 of the other stationary body 10.

[0069] The band body 31 is wound around the shelf board 100 in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the winding band 30 may be wound around the shelf board 100 by inserting the band body 31 into the insertion holes 29 of the fixed bodies 10 aligned in the first direction X. In other words, the winding band 30 may be wound around both the first direction X and the second direction Y.

[0070] The wrapping band 30 may be formed of only the band body 31 without the buckle 32. In this case, the band body 31 is fastened to the shelf board 100 by fastening the band body 31 to the shelf board 100.

[0071] 9, the legs 101 of the installation body S may be cylindrical or columnar. In this case, since it is difficult to drive the screws 39 into the legs 101, it is preferable to fix the installation body S to the fixed body 10 using a winding band 30.

[0072] 9, the first fixed body 10A and the second fixed body 10B do not have to have the two legs 101 sandwiched between one of their walls. Specifically, the first fixed body 10A and the second fixed body 10B may be arranged side by side in the first direction X with one of their walls sandwiched between the two legs 101.

[0073] In this case, for first fixed body 10A and second fixed body 10B aligned in first direction X, one wall of first fixed body 10A is first wall 21, and one wall of second fixed body 10B is second wall 22. Therefore, first fixed body 10A and second fixed body 10B aligned in first direction X are arranged such that one of the two walls faces each other aligned in first direction X. Note that in two pairs aligned in second direction Y, the arrangement of first fixed body 10A and second fixed body 10B is reversed in first direction X.

[0074] Although not shown, first fixed body 10A and second fixed body 10B may sandwich only one of two leg portions 101. For example, of the two first fixed body 10A and second fixed body 10B aligned in first direction X, first wall 21 of first fixed body 10A is located between a pair of legs 101. Also, of the two first fixed body 10A and second fixed body 10B aligned in first direction X, first wall 21 of second fixed body 10B is located outward in first direction X than leg 101. In this case, one wall of first fixed body 10A is the first wall 21, and one wall of second fixed body 10B is also the first wall 21.

[0075] The adhesive member for adhering the fixed body 10 to the installation surface F may be a double-sided tape having adhesive surfaces on both sides. Alternatively, an adhesive layer may be provided between the back surface 20b of the main body 20 and the installation surface F, and the back surface 20b of the main body 20 may be adhered to the installation surface F.

[0076] The installation body S may be a rack having three legs 101 or may be a rack having five or more legs 101. As shown in FIG. 10 , the installation body S may have a tabletop 70, four legs 71 across which the tabletop 70 is suspended, and a connecting plate 72 connecting the opposing legs 71. The tabletop 70 is suspended across the upper ends of the four legs 71. The four legs 71 include two pairs of connected legs 71 arranged in the second direction Y. The two connected legs 71 intersect in an X-shape when viewed in the second direction Y. The two connected legs 71 can be said to be aligned in the first direction X. The connecting plate 72 connects the legs 71 aligned so as to face each other in the second direction Y.

[0077] Four fixed bodies 10 are fixed to the installation surface F. Each of the four fixed bodies 10 is attached to the installation surface F by an adhesive mat 50. Two of the four fixed bodies 10 are arranged side by side in the first direction X. Furthermore, the four fixed bodies 10 are arranged in such a way that two pairs of fixed bodies 10 arranged side by side in the first direction X are arranged side by side in the second direction Y.

[0078] The first stationary body 10A and the second stationary body 10B are arranged such that the first wall 21 of the first stationary body 10A and the second wall 22 of the second stationary body 10B are aligned in the first direction X. A band main body 31 of the winding band 30 is inserted through an insertion hole 29 of the first wall 21 of the first stationary body 10A and an insertion hole 29 of the second wall 22 of the second stationary body 10B. The band main body 31 of the winding band 30 is wound across the two connecting plates 72 in the first direction X. In other words, the winding band 30 is wound around the installation body S. The band main body 31 is fastened by a buckle 32. In other words, the band main body 31 is wound around the two connecting plates 72 in a state in which movement of the two connecting plates 72 in the longitudinal direction is restricted.

[0079] The fixed body 10 is fixed to the installation surface F by an adhesive mat 50. The band main body 31 is inserted into the insertion hole 29 of the fixed body 10 fixed to the installation surface F. Therefore, the installation body S is fixed to the installation surface F by the fixed body 10 and the winding band 30. In other words, the installation body S is fixed to the installation surface F by the fixed body device 40.

[0080] The installation body S may include four legs arranged at the vertices of a rectangle and crosspieces connecting adjacent legs. Four crosspieces make up a set. The installation body S is fixed to the installation surface F by the fixing bodies 10. In this case, each of the four fixing bodies 10 includes a winding band 30.

[0081] Each of the four legs is individually fixed to the installation surface F by a fixed body 10 and a winding band 30. The winding band 30 is inserted into the insertion hole 29 in one wall of each fixed body 10. Each of the four winding bands 30 is wound around the leg placed on the installation surface 20a and the crosspiece connected to the leg. The other wall of each fixed body 10 sandwiches the band body 31 of the winding band 30 and the leg.

[0082] The four legs of the installation body S may be pyramidal in shape, with the upper ends of the four legs connected together. In this case, each of the four legs is inclined. Even if the legs are inclined in this way, the insertion position of the band body 31 relative to the insertion hole 29 can be changed in the longitudinal direction of the insertion hole 29. In other words, the winding position of the winding band 30 can be adjusted depending on the inclination of the legs. Therefore, if the insertion hole 29 is in the shape of an elongated hole, it is possible to accommodate changes in the insertion position depending not only on the thickness of the legs but also on the erected state of the legs.

[0083] The installation body S may be a rack having one shelf board 100. In this case, the winding band 30 may be wound around the installation body S so as to contact a portion of the outer surface of the leg 101 that is located below one shelf board 100. Alternatively, the winding band 30 may be wound around the installation body S so as to contact a portion of the outer surface of the leg 101 that is located above one shelf board 100.

[0084] The installation object S may be changed as appropriate to include a copy machine, desk, chair, etc. other than a rack. Only one fixing body 10 may be used to fix the installation body S to the installation surface F. For example, the installation body S may be a vase, and the vase may be fixed to the installation surface F by winding the winding band 30 around the vase.

[0085] Next, the technical ideas that can be understood from the above-described embodiment and other examples will be described below.
