Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention provides a mounting member capable of fixing a wall-mounted object without using any fasteners other than the mounting member, such as screws, and a wall-mounted object that is installed using the mounting member. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, "decorative shelves" made of L-shaped metal fittings and anchors have been known as mounting means for fixing storage units such as display shelves and storage boxes to walls (see paragraph "0005" and Figures 1-3 and 6 of Patent Document 1). The conventional L-shaped metal fittings described above are placed near both ends of the plate material that makes up the storage unit, and fix their vertical parts to the wall surface and their horizontal parts to the top and bottom surfaces of the plate material, thereby fixing the storage unit to the wall. Nailing or screwing is usually used as the fixing means. As another mounting structure, for example, a "component mounting structure" is known that comprises a frame body fixed to a wall surface or the like, a bracket attached to the support of the frame body, and an attachment for mounting a shelf board (see paragraphs "0017" and "0018" and Figures 1 and 5 of Patent Document 2).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0014] (Description of the Embodiments) Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The drawings are schematic, and the relationship between thickness and planar dimensions, the thickness ratio of each layer, etc., differ from the actual ones. Furthermore, the embodiments shown below are merely examples of configurations for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and the technical idea of the present invention does not specify the materials, shapes, structures, etc. of the components to be described below. The technical idea of the present invention can be modified in various ways within the technical scope defined by the claims.
[0015] (Wall-mounted item 10) In FIGS. 1 and 4, reference numeral 10 denotes a wall-mounted object, and the wall-mounted object 10 mounts a first structure 30 on a wall surface via a first mounting member 20.
[0016] (First mounting member 20) As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first mounting member 20 is composed of at least a first fixing plate 21, a first upper support plate 22, and a first lower support plate . Although the first mounting member 20 is composed of three plates, this is not limited to this. For example, at least one of the three plates may be composed of multiple plates, and the first mounting member 20 may be composed of four or more plates. The first mounting member 20 is made of wood, for example. Although wood is used as the first mounting member 20, the first mounting member 20 is not limited to wood, and there are no particular restrictions on the material used, and the material may be selected appropriately depending on the required strength, and may be made of, for example, plastic, metal, or a combination of these.
[0017] (First fixing plate 21) The first fixing plate 21 is a flat plate whose rear surface is fixed to a wall surface, and although there are no particular restrictions on its shape, it may be rectangular in consideration of ease of installation and ease of processing. Here, the rectangular shape means a quadrangle with all four corners being equal, such as a rectangle. The thickness of first fixing plate 21 is designed appropriately depending on the required strength and the like. Although not shown, the fixing to the wall surface can be carried out by a known method, such as fixing using screws in holes drilled in advance in the wall surface, or fixing using adhesive or double-sided tape.
[0018] (First upper support plate 22, first lower support plate 23) The first upper support plate 22 and the first lower support plate 23 are two flat plates that extend in a direction away from the wall surface. The two plates face each other in the height direction of the wall surface, spaced apart by a distance equal to or greater than the distance into which a first member 31 of a first structure 30, which will be described later, fits. The distance between the two opposing plates corresponds to the thickness of the first member 31 from top to bottom, and is set to a size that allows the first member 31 to fit just right. Although flat plates are exemplified as the two plates, the shape is not limited to this and there are no particular restrictions, but rectangular shapes may be used in consideration of ease of installation and ease of processing, etc. Similarly to first fixing plate 21, the thickness of the two plates is also designed appropriately depending on the required strength, etc.
[0019] The two plates are set to have the same protruding length, are arranged parallel to each other, and are also set to have the same thickness. Although the two plates are set to have the same protruding length, the protruding lengths may be different, as shown in FIG. Furthermore, although the two support plates are arranged parallel to each other, they may be arranged non-parallel to each other, as shown in, for example, FIG. 15 or FIG. Furthermore, although the thicknesses of the two support plates are set to be equal, they may have different thicknesses, although this is not shown. Furthermore, the thickness of the two support plates and the first fixed plate 21 are set to be equal, but although not shown, for example, the thickness of the two support plates and the thickness of the first fixed plate 21 may be different, or the thicknesses of the three plates may be different from each other. The two support plates can be fixed to the first fixing plate 21 by a known method, such as by using screws or nails, adhesive or double-sided tape, or by welding.
[0020] (Fitting part 24) As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the first member 31 of the first structure 30 is fitted between the two support plates, forming a groove-shaped fitting portion 24. The fitting portion 24 has an open front side, a rear side that is closed by the surface of the first fixing plate 21, and both left and right side surfaces that are open. The internal height of the fitting portion 24 corresponds to the separation distance between the two support plates, and is set to, for example, 40 mm. Note that although 40 mm is exemplified as the separation distance, it is not limited to this and may be any distance that corresponds to the thickness of the first member 31. The fitting portion 24 is limited to the distance between the two opposing support plates. That is, when the protruding lengths of the two support plates are equal, the depth of the fitting portion 24 is the distance from an extension of the end faces of the tip ends of the two support plates to the surface of the rear first fixing plate 21. When the protruding lengths of the two support plates are not equal, for example, in the case of the second mounting member 50 shown in FIG. 6, the depth of the fitting portion 24 is the distance from an extension of the end face of the tip end of the second upper support plate 52 to the surface of the rear second fixing plate 51. This is because if the fitting portion 24 is exceeded, the second upper support plate 52 will be too short and the two support plates will no longer face each other.
[0021] (1st structure 30) As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the first structure 30 is composed of at least a first member 31, a second member 32, and a third member 33. Although the first structure 30 is configured from three members, it is not limited to this, and may be configured from four or more members, for example, by suspending a shelf member between the second member 32 and the third member 33. The first structure 30 is made of wood, for example. Although wood is used as the first structure 30, the first structure 30 is not limited to wood, and there are no particular restrictions on the material used, and the material may be appropriately selected depending on the required strength, and for example, plastic, metal, or a combination thereof may be used.
[0022] (First member 31) As shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, the first member 31 is set to a size that allows it to fit exactly into the fitting portion 24. The first member 31 is formed from a rectangular elongated material. Although a square shape is shown as an example of the first member 31, the first member 31 is not limited to this, and various shapes such as a rod shape, a tube shape, or a flat plate shape can be used, although not shown. The thickness of the first member 31 from top to bottom corresponds to the distance between the two support plates. Furthermore, the front-to-rear width of the first member 31 may be equal to or less than the depth of the fitting portion 24. For example, if the front-to-rear width of the first member 31 exceeds the depth, it will protrude from the front surface of the opening of the fitting portion 24, which will look unsightly and is not preferable. The overall length of the first member 31 in the left-right direction exceeds the width in the left-right direction of the fitting portion 24 in Fig. 2. Therefore, when the first member 31 is fitted into the fitting portion 24, both left and right ends of the first member 31 protrude outward from the two upper and lower support plates, as shown in Fig. 4.
[0023] (Second member 32, third member 33) Similar to the first member 31, the second member 32 and the third member 33 are formed in an elongated rectangular shape. Although the second member 32 and the third member 33 are shaped like a rectangle, they are not limited to this and may be in various shapes such as a rod, a tube, or a flat plate, although not shown. The fixing to the first member 31 can be performed by a known method such as fixing using screws, nails, adhesive, double-sided tape, or welding. As shown in Figure 4, when the first member 31 is attached to the first mounting member 20, the two left and right members extend toward the floor surface (not shown), and their lower ends are placed on the floor surface, functioning as legs of the first structure 30.
[0024] (Functions as a "beam" or "crosspiece" of the first member 31) Furthermore, the first member 31 is located between the second member 32 and the third member 33, and functions as a "beam" or "crosspiece" that supports the two members. Here, a "beam" is a member that is generally placed horizontally on a vertical column to support the load from above. As shown in FIG. 1, the first member 31 is located between the second member 32 and the third member 33 on the left and right sides. Although the first member 31 is positioned between the left and right second members 32 and the third member 33, this is not limitative, and the first member 31 may be positioned over the left and right second members 32 and the third member 33, as shown in the fourth structure 150 of Figure 17(a) described in the next section.
[0025] (Fourth structure 150 shown in FIG. 17(a)) A fourth structure 150 shown in FIG. 17( a ) is a modified example of the first structure 30 . The twelfth member 151 located in the center of the fourth structure 150 corresponds to the first member 31, the thirteenth member 152 on the left side corresponds to the second member 32, and the fourteenth member 153 on the right side corresponds to the third member 33. The central twelfth member 151 is placed on the thirteenth member 152 and the fourteenth member 153 located on the left and right sides, and connects the thirteenth member 152 and the fourteenth member 153 to each other.
[0026] (Attachment of first structure 30 to first mounting member 20) 1 and 4, the first member 31 is positioned between the two support plates, i.e., on the open front surface of the fitting portion 24, and is fitted into the fitting portion 24 from the open front surface. The first member 31 is moved toward the back of the fitting portion 24. When the first member 31 is moved, it hits the surface of the first fixing plate 21 inside the fitting portion 24 and fits perfectly into the fitting portion 24. In this state, the left and right ends of the first member 31 protrude from the left and right open sides of the fitting portion 24, and the left and right second members 32 and third members 33 connected to the ends extend toward the floor surface, with their lower ends placed on the floor surface. At this time, the first member 31 is positioned between the two support plates, and the separation distance corresponds to the first member 31, so it is possible to prevent the first member 31 from rotating within the separation distance or moving to the open front side and falling off. Furthermore, since the second member 32 and the third member 33 are placed on the floor surface, the first member 31 can be prevented from rotating or moving. Furthermore, since the second member 32 and the third member 33 are installed on the floor surface, the load applied from the first structure 30 to the first mounting member 20 can be distributed between the wall surface and the floor surface.
[0027] (How to use the first mounting member 20 and the first structure 30) An example of how the first mounting member 20 and the first structure 30 are used will now be described. (Example 1) Many to one For example, by fixing a large number of mounting members to different positions on a wall surface in advance, the mounting position of the structure can be easily and quickly changed, making it useful for exhibitions and the like. (Example 2) One-to-many For example, by preparing a large number of structures and replacing them with one mounting member, you can easily and quickly rearrange a room to suit the seasons or your mood that day. Also, if the structure contains equipment such as monitors or lighting, you can quickly remove it and repair or replace parts in the event of a malfunction. (Example 3) Many-to-many For example, by fixing a large number of mounting members in advance and preparing a large number of structures, a wide variety of usage methods can be adopted.
[0028] (Installation of shelf members on first structure 30) Although not shown, a shelf member may be placed between the second member 32, which functions as a leg portion, and the third member 33, allowing the unit to be used as, for example, a display shelf or a storage shelf. By providing shelf members, the first structure 30 can function as, for example, a display shelf or a storage shelf.
[0029] (Adjuster mechanism 40 in Figure 5) As shown in FIG. 5, the adjuster mechanism 40 is a mechanism for adjusting the height of the first structure 30 after it has been installed. The adjuster mechanism 40 is composed of a leg that comes into contact with the floor surface and a threaded rod that extends from the leg, and the threaded rod is screwed into the first structure 30 to make it possible to adjust the distance from the floor surface. The adjuster mechanism 40 is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. 5, and any other known structure or shape may be used. By adjusting the adjuster mechanism 40, rattle between the lower part of the first structure 30 and the floor surface can be prevented, and the first member 31 connected to the second member 32 and the third member 33 abuts against the first upper support plate 22 at the fitting portion 24, thereby more firmly fixing the first structure 30 to the wall surface.
[0030] (Description of Modified Examples of Mounting Members in Figs. 6 to 9) Modified examples of the first mounting member 20 in FIG. 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. Similar to the first mounting member 20, the second mounting member 50 of FIG. 6 is made up of a second fixing plate 51, a second upper support plate 52, and a second lower support plate 53. The second mounting member 50 is made of, for example, wood, similar to the first mounting member 20. Note that the second mounting member 50 is not limited to being made of wood, and may be made of, for example, plastic, metal, or a combination of these. The protruding length of the second lower support plate 53 is set to be longer than that of the second upper support plate 52 on the upper side.
[0031] (Attachment of the first structure 30 to the second mounting member 50) The first structure 30 places its first member 31 on the upper surface of the second lower support plate 53, which has a long protruding length, and moves it toward the back while sliding along the upper surface, until it is moved to the lower side of the second upper support plate 52. As a result, the first member 31 is fitted between the lower surface of the second upper support plate 52 and the upper surface of the second lower support plate 53, and is fixed between the two support plates. According to the second mounting member 50, the protruding length of the second lower support plate 53 is longer than that of the second upper support plate 52, and therefore the first member 31 can be attached while being placed on the upper surface of the second lower support plate 53. This not only reduces the weight of the first member 31 during attachment, but also allows the first member 31 to be quickly and reliably moved and fixed between the two support plates by sliding the upper surface of the second lower support plate 53.
[0032] (Third mounting member 60 in FIG. 7) As shown in FIG. 7, the third mounting member 60 is made up of a third fixing plate 61, a third upper support plate 62, and a third lower support plate 63, similar to the second mounting member 50. The third mounting member 60 is made of, for example, metal. However, the third mounting member 60 is not limited to being made of metal, and may be made of, for example, wood, plastic, or a combination thereof. The support plates can be fixed to the third fixing plate 61 by a known method, such as welding, fixing using screws, or fixing using an adhesive or double-sided tape. Similar to the second mounting member 50 in FIG. 6, the third lower support plate 63 has a longer protruding length than the third upper support plate 62 above it. The third lower support plate 63 has a tip end formed with a first rising portion 64 that is bent upward into an L-shaped cross section.
[0033] (Relationship between the protruding lengths of the upper and lower support plates) 7 and 10, the lower third lower support plate 63 has a longer protruding length compared to the upper third upper support plate 62. However, if the lower third lower support plate 63 is too long, it will be more likely to bend when the seventh member 104 is hooked on it. Therefore, assuming that the width W of the seventh member 104 and the protruding length L of the third upper support plate 62 are approximately the same, the protruding length M of the third lower support plate 63 can be calculated based on the following formula (1). M>=L×2+α Equation (1) The above "α" is an additional value required to place the seventh member 104 on the upper surface of the third lower support plate 63 so that it passes over the first raised portion 64 and does not come into contact with the third upper support plate 62. Note that if the third lower support plate 63 does not have the first raised portion 64, "α" may be omitted. By using the above formula (1), the protruding length M of the third lower support plate 63 can be set in advance to an appropriate value that is less likely to bend.
[0034] (Attachment of the first structure 30 to the third mounting member 60) For example, the first member 31 of the first structure 30 passes above the first rising portion 64 and is placed on the upper surface of the third lower support plate 63. Next, the first member 31 is moved toward the back while sliding along the upper surface, and is moved to the lower side of the third upper support plate 62. Furthermore, after attachment, if the first member 31 unexpectedly moves toward the tip end of the third lower support plate 63, the short protruding length of the third upper support plate 62 allows the first member 31 to rotate on the upper surface of the third lower support plate 63. At this time, if the first member 31 tries to fall toward the tip end of the third lower support plate 63, it hits the first rising portion 64 and is prevented from falling. Therefore, the first rising portion 64 can provide a rising structure that has the effect of preventing the first member 31 from tipping over.
[0035] (Fourth mounting member 70 in FIG. 8) As shown in FIG. 8, the fourth mounting member 70 is made up of a fourth fixing plate 71, a fourth upper support plate 72, and a fourth lower support plate 73, similar to the second mounting member 50. The fourth upper support plate 72 and the fourth lower support plate 73 are set to have the same protruding length. A separate additional plate 80 is attached to the lower side of the fourth lower support plate 73. The fourth mounting member 70 and the additional plate 80 are made of, for example, metal. Note that the fourth mounting member 70 and the additional plate 80 are not limited to being made of metal, and may be made of, for example, wood, plastic, or a combination thereof. The fourth fixing plate 71 is formed with a pair of left and right first upper mounting holes 74 and first lower mounting holes 75 located on the upper and lower sides, respectively, which penetrate from the front to the back surface. Although not shown, the device is fixed to the wall by screwing screws or the like into holes drilled in advance in the wall through the first upper mounting hole 74 and the first lower mounting hole 75, respectively.
[0036] (Additional plate 80) The additional plate 80 is composed of a connecting plate 81 fixed to the fourth fixed plate 71, and an extending plate 82 that bends in an L shape from the upper end of the connecting plate 81 along the underside of the fourth lower support plate 73 and extends longer than the fourth lower support plate 73. At the tip of the overhanging plate 82, an additional rising portion 83 is formed which is bent upward into an L-shaped cross section. The connecting plate 81 is formed with a pair of connecting holes 84 that penetrate from the front to the back and communicate with the pair of first lower mounting holes 75 of the fourth fixing plate 71, respectively. The connecting hole 84 and the first lower mounting hole 75 are connected together, and screws or the like are threaded into the holes in the wall surface in a row, and the fourth mounting member 70 and the additional plate 80 are fastened together to the wall surface. When the additional plate 80 is fixed, the protruding plate 82 overlaps the lower surface of the fourth lower support plate 73 of the fourth mounting member 70, extending the overall protruding length. As a result, the overall protruding length of the fourth lower support plate 73 becomes longer than that of the fourth upper support plate 72. At this time, a step may be formed at the joint between the overhang plate 82 and the fourth lower support plate 73, but for example, the tip end side of the overhang plate 82 may be bent upward to make it flush. Furthermore, the additional raised portion 83 of the additional plate 80 can prevent the first member 31 from tipping over, for example.
[0037] (Fifth mounting member 90 in FIG. 9) As shown in FIG. 9, the fifth mounting member 90, like the second mounting member 50, is made up of a fifth fixing plate 91, a fifth upper support plate 92, and a fifth lower support plate 93. The fifth mounting member 90 is made of, for example, metal, similar to the third mounting member 60. Note that the fifth mounting member 90 is not limited to being made of metal, and may be made of, for example, wood, plastic, or a combination thereof. The fifth lower support plate 93 has a protruding length set longer than that of the upper fifth upper support plate 92, similar to the third mounting member 60. A second raised portion 94 bent upward into an L-shaped cross section is formed at the tip of the fifth lower support plate 93. According to the fifth mounting member 90, the second rising portion 94 can form a rising structure.
[0038] (Upper reinforcing member 95, lower reinforcing member 96) An approximately triangular upper reinforcing member 95 is connected between the surface of the adjacent fifth fixed plate 91 and the upper surface of the fifth upper support plate 92. Similarly to the upper reinforcing member 95, an approximately triangular lower reinforcing member 96 is connected between the surface of the adjacent fifth fixed plate 91 and the lower surface of the fifth lower support plate 93. The position, shape, number, etc. of the reinforcing members are not limited to those shown in the figure, and are not particularly limited as long as the necessary strength for reinforcement is obtained.Furthermore, although they are provided on both the fifth upper support plate 92 and the fifth lower support plate 93, they may be provided on only one of them. According to the fifth mounting member 90, the upper reinforcing member 95 and the lower reinforcing member 96 can improve the rigidity of the fifth upper support plate 92 and the fifth lower support plate 93.
[0039] (Description of Modified Examples of the Structures in FIGS. 10 to 13) 10 to 13, a modification of the first structure 30 in FIG. 3 will be described. As shown in Figure 12, the second structure 100 is composed of a pair of left and right fourth members 101 and fifth members 102, which are flat plates that cover the left and right side surfaces, a sixth member 103, which is a flat plate that connects the front end faces of the left and right fourth members 101 and fifth members 102 and covers the front surface, and a seventh member 104, which is a rectangular elongated member that connects the opposing inner surfaces of the left and right fourth members 101 and fifth members 102. The second structure 100 is made of, for example, metal. Although the second structure 100 is made of metal in the above example, it is not limited to metal, and there are no particular restrictions on the material used, and it can be selected appropriately depending on the required strength, and for example, wood, plastic, or a combination thereof may be used. Although flat plates are shown as examples of the fourth member 101, the fifth member 102, and the sixth member 103, various shapes such as square, rod, and cylinder (not shown) can be used. Although a square shape is shown as an example of the seventh member 104, various shapes such as square, rod, cylinder, and flat plate (not shown) can be used.
[0040] (7th member 104) The seventh member 104 functions as a "beam" or "horizontal crosspiece" that supports the left and right flat plates, or as a "connecting member," "supporting member," or "reinforcing member." The seventh member 104 is then held by the third mounting member 60 of FIG. The thickness of the seventh member 104 from top to bottom corresponds to the separation distance between the two upper and lower support plates of the third mounting member 60, and the seventh member 104 is fitted and held between the two support plates. The second structure 100 is installed on a wall surface via a third mounting member 60, and the lower part is placed on the floor surface. As a result, the lower part of the second structure 100 rests on the floor surface, and the load applied to the third mounting member 60 can be distributed. Also, an adjuster mechanism 40 shown in FIG. 5 may be attached to the lower part of the second structure 100 to make it possible to adjust the distance from the floor surface. By adjusting the adjuster mechanism 40, rattle between the lower part of the second structure 100 and the floor surface can be prevented, and the second structure 100 can be more firmly fixed to the wall surface.
[0041] (U-shaped plate) A U-shaped plate is formed from the fourth member 101, the fifth member 102, and the sixth member 103. The U-shaped plate can be formed by connecting or bending. A decorative sheet may be attached to the surface of the U-shaped plate to add design. In this way, the second structure 100 can also be used as a retrofit wall or partition. In addition, if the U-shaped plate is made of a transparent material such as an acrylic plate and a light-transmitting decorative sheet is attached to the surface, and a light (light source) is installed inside the U-shaped plate, it can also be used as wall lighting.
[0042] (Third structure 110 in FIG. 13) As shown in FIG. 13, similar to the second structure 100, the third structure 110 is composed of a pair of eighth and ninth members 111 and 112 located on the left and right side surfaces, a tenth member 113 located on the front surface, and an eleventh member 115 connecting the inner surfaces of the eighth and ninth members 111 and 112 on the left and right sides. An opening 114 that penetrates from the front to the back surface is formed in the tenth member 113 located on the front surface. The opening 114 corresponds to the size of a monitor (not shown) that will be installed inside the third structure 110. The depth of the interior of the third structure 110 can be designed appropriately, and can be set to a distance corresponding to the depth of a monitor to be installed inside, for example. The third structure 110 is made of, for example, metal, similar to the second structure 100. Note that although a metal structure is exemplified as the third structure 110, it is not limited to metal, and there are no particular restrictions on the material used, and it is selected appropriately depending on the required strength, and for example, wood, plastic, or a combination thereof may be used.
[0043] (Eleventh member 115) The eleventh member 115 functions as a "beam" or "horizontal crosspiece" that supports the left and right flat plates, or as a "connecting member," "supporting member," or "reinforcing member." The eleventh member 115 is held by the third mounting member 60 shown in FIG. The thickness of the eleventh member 115 from top to bottom corresponds to the separation distance between the two upper and lower support plates of the third mounting member 60, and the eleventh member 115 is fitted and held between the two support plates. The third structure 110 is installed on a wall surface via a third mounting member 60, and the lower part is placed on the floor surface. As a result, the lower part of the third structure 110 is placed on the floor surface, and the load applied to the third mounting member 60 can be distributed. Also, an adjuster mechanism 40 shown in FIG. 5 may be attached to the bottom of the third structure 110 to make it possible to adjust the distance from the floor surface. By adjusting the adjuster mechanism 40, rattle between the lower part of the third structure 110 and the floor surface can be prevented, and the third structure 110 can be more firmly fixed to the wall surface.
[0044] (U-shaped plate) A U-shaped plate is formed from the eighth member 111, the ninth member 112, and the tenth member 113. The U-shaped plate can be formed by connecting or bending. A decorative sheet may be attached to the surface of the U-shaped plate to add a decorative feature. Also, the opening 114 may be configured to have a certain degree of light transmittance. With this configuration, when the monitor installed inside is turned on, the display content on the monitor can be seen, and when the monitor is turned off, it can be used as a wall display that acts as a decorative wall.
[0045] (Description of Modified Examples of Mounting Members in FIGS. 14 to 16) Other modifications of the mounting member will be described with reference to FIGS. The sixth mounting member 120 in Figure 14 has a sixth upper support plate 122 and a sixth lower support plate 123 that are inclined diagonally upward from the front surface of a sixth fixed plate 121, and protrude parallel to each other with the same protruding length. The attachment of the structure to the sixth mounting member 120 will be described using the first structure 30 in FIG. 7 as an example. The distance between the two support plates is matched with the first member 31 of the first structure 30, and the first member 31 is fitted into the open surface between the two support plates. When the first member 31 is inserted between the two support plates, the support plates tilt downward toward the back, and the weight of the first structure 30 acts on it, allowing it to move toward the back, i.e., diagonally downward, with a relatively light force. Furthermore, when the first member 31 is fitted, the first member 31 is unlikely to slip out from between the two support plates because it is inclined upward toward the upper open surface.
[0046] (Seventh mounting member 130 in FIG. 15) As shown in FIG. 15, the seventh mounting member 130 has a seventh lower support plate 133 protruding horizontally from the front surface of the seventh fixing plate 131. The seventh upper support plate 132 is spaced a predetermined distance above the seventh lower support plate 133 and protrudes obliquely upward. When comparing the protruding lengths of the seventh upper support plate 132 and the seventh lower support plate 133, the seventh upper support plate 132 is slightly longer. Furthermore, the opening between the two support plates gradually widens toward the tip end, so that when the first member 31 of FIG. 1 is used, for example, the ease of insertion can be improved. On the other hand, the shape of the first member 31 inserted between the two support plates needs to be such that it at least contacts the upper surface of the seventh lower support plate 133, and it may be rectangular, a polygon smaller than a rectangle, cylindrical, or have a slope that matches the slope of the upper seventh upper support plate 132.
[0047] (Eighth mounting member 140 in FIG. 16) As shown in FIG. 16, the eighth mounting member 140 has an eighth lower support plate 143 protruding downward from the front surface of an eighth fixing plate 141. The eighth upper support plate 142 is spaced a predetermined distance upward from the eighth lower support plate 143 and protrudes horizontally. The eighth lower support plate 143 has a tip end formed with a third rising portion 144 that is bent upward into an L-shaped cross section. According to the eighth mounting member 140, the third rising portion 144 can provide a rising structure that can prevent the first member 31 of FIG. 1 from tipping over when used, for example. On the other hand, the shape of the first member 31 may be any shape as long as it can be hooked onto the third rising portion 144 and fixed to the upper surface of the eighth lower support plate 143. When the adjuster mechanism 40 is used, the first member 31 can be fixed by abutting it against the eighth upper support plate 142, so the first member 31 may be rectangular or cylindrical, or may have a slope that matches the slope of the eighth lower support plate 143.
[0048] (Ninth mounting member 160 in FIG. 17(b)) A ninth mounting member 160 in FIG. 17(b) shows a modified example of the mounting member. On the front surface of the ninth fixed plate 161, a ninth upper support plate 162 is provided on the upper left side as viewed in FIG. 17(b), and a ninth lower support plate 163 is provided on the lower right side. The ninth upper support plate 162 and the ninth lower support plate 163 are spaced apart a predetermined distance in the vertical direction and are staggered in the horizontal direction. The predetermined distance is set to be equal to or greater than the distance into which the first member 31 of the first structure 30 fits. The first member 31 is fitted into the vertical gap between the ninth upper support plate 162 and the ninth lower support plate 163 and is positioned across the ninth upper support plate 162 and the ninth lower support plate 163. As a result, the first member 31 is sandwiched and fixed between the ninth upper support plate 162 and the ninth lower support plate 163 in the vertical direction. According to the ninth mounting member 160, compared to when two support plates are positioned one above the other, the two support plates are positioned alternately in the left-right direction, so that the support surface can be expanded in the left-right direction, and the long first member 31 can be supported in a balanced manner.
[0049] (The tenth mounting member 170 and the eleventh mounting member 180 in FIG. 17(c)) The tenth mounting member 170 is located on the left side of Figure 17(c) The tenth upper support plate 172 is provided on the upper front side of the tenth fixing plate 171. The eleventh mounting member 180 is located to the right of the tenth mounting member 170. An eleventh lower support plate 182 is provided below the front surface of the eleventh fixing plate 181. The separation distance between the tenth upper support plate 172 and the eleventh lower support plate 182 is set to match the separation distance in Figure 17(b) when the tenth fixing plate 171 and the eleventh fixing plate 181 are fixed at the same height on the wall. As shown in FIG. 17(c), by fixing the eleventh lower support plate 182 at a position lower than the tenth upper support plate 172, the separation distance can be increased compared to FIG. 17(b). Furthermore, by changing the distance between the two left and right fixing plates, the left and right distance between the tenth upper support plate 172 and the eleventh lower support plate 182 can be changed.
[0050] (Features and Effects of the Embodiments Based on the Present Invention) The features of the embodiment of the present invention are as follows. (First feature) A first feature is, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, for example, a mounting member (e.g., first mounting member 20) for installing a structure (e.g., first structure 30) on a wall surface, where the mounting member (e.g., first mounting member 20) comprises a fixing plate (e.g., first fixing plate 21) that is fixed to the wall surface, and at least two support plates (e.g., first upper support plate 22, first lower support plate 23) that are attached to the fixing plate (e.g., first fixing plate 21) and extend in a direction away from the wall surface, and the two support plates (e.g., first upper support plate 22, first lower support plate 23) face each other in the height direction of the wall surface, at a distance that is equal to or greater than the distance that allows the structure (e.g., first member 31 of first structure 30) to fit into.
[0051] (Effect of the first feature) According to the first feature, it is possible to provide a mounting member (for example, first mounting member 20) that can fix an object to be installed on a wall without using fasteners such as screws. Furthermore, the mounting member (for example, the first mounting member 20) is suitable for mounting a heavy or tall structure (for example, the first structure 30).
[0052] (Second feature) A second characteristic point is that, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, of the two support plates (e.g., third upper support plate 62 and third lower support plate 63), the upper support plate (e.g., third upper support plate 62) located on the upper side has a shorter protruding length than the lower support plate (e.g., third lower support plate 63) located on the lower side, and the lower support plate (e.g., third lower support plate 63) has a raised structure (e.g., first raised portion 64) at the tip portion opposite the fixed plate (e.g., third fixed plate 61).
[0053] (Effect of the second feature) According to the second feature, the rising structure (for example, the first rising portion 64) can prevent a structure (for example, the first member 31 of the first structure 30) installed on a wall surface from moving away from the wall surface and falling over.
[0054] (Third feature) A third feature is that, as shown in FIG. 9, for example, reinforcing members (e.g., upper reinforcing member 95, lower reinforcing member 96) are provided to reinforce the connection between at least one of the two support plates (e.g., fifth upper support plate 92, fifth lower support plate 93) and the fixed plate (e.g., fifth fixed plate 91).
[0055] (Effect of the third feature) According to the third feature, the reinforcing members (e.g., upper reinforcing member 95, lower reinforcing member 96) improve the rigidity of the mounting member (e.g., fifth mounting member 90), suppress deformation, and enable stable installation on a wall surface.
[0056] (Fourth feature) A fourth characteristic point is that, as shown in FIG. 8, for example, two support plates (e.g., fourth upper support plate 72 and fourth lower support plate 73) have the same protruding length from the surface of a fixed plate (e.g., fourth fixed plate 71), and an additional plate (80) is arranged on the lower support plate (e.g., fourth lower support plate 73) in contact with its underside, and the additional plate (80) has a raised structure (additional raised portion 83) at the end opposite the fixed plate (e.g., fourth fixed plate 71).
[0057] (Effect of the fourth feature) According to the fourth feature, by disposing the additional plate (80), it is possible to extend the protruding length of the lower support plate (e.g., the fourth lower support plate 73). Also, according to the fourth feature, the rising portion of the additional plate (80) can prevent a structure (e.g., the first member 31 of the first structure 30) installed on the wall surface from being separated from the wall surface and falling over.
[0058] (5th feature) A fifth feature is that, as shown in FIG. 9, for example, the fixing plate (e.g., fifth fixing plate 91) is formed in a rectangular shape and is provided with one or more mounting holes (e.g., second upper mounting hole 97, second lower mounting hole 98) that penetrate from the surface of the fixing plate (e.g., fifth fixing plate 91) toward the wall surface.
[0059] (Effect of the fifth feature) According to the fifth feature, by forming the fixing plate (for example, the fifth fixing plate 91) into a rectangular shape, it is possible to improve ease of installation and ease of processing. Furthermore, according to the fifth feature, by using mounting holes (e.g., second upper mounting hole 97, second lower mounting hole 98) and fastening them with screws, for example, the structure (e.g., first structure 30) can be accurately and firmly fixed to a predetermined installation height on the wall surface.
[0060] (6th feature) A sixth feature is that, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the device comprises a mounting member (e.g., first mounting member 20) for wall mounting and a structure (e.g., first structure 30), and the structure (e.g., first structure 30) comprises at least a first member 31 of a size corresponding to the separation distance between the two support plates (e.g., first upper support plate 22 and first lower support plate 23) of the mounting member (e.g., first mounting member 20), and the first member 31 is inserted between the two support plates (e.g., first upper support plate 22 and first lower support plate 23). Furthermore, in addition to the first member 31, the structure (for example, the first structure 30) may be provided with at least a second member 32 and a third member 33 connected to both ends of the first member 31 and extending toward the floor surface.
[0061] (Effect of the 6th feature) According to the sixth feature, it is possible to provide a wall-mounted object that can be fixed without using fixing tools such as screws. Furthermore, according to the sixth feature, by inserting the first member 31, the structure (for example, the first structure 30) can be installed so as not to easily tip over from the wall. Furthermore, by providing the second member 32 and the third member 33 and placing it on the floor, the load can be distributed to the wall surface and the floor surface.
[0062] (7th feature) A seventh feature is that the structures (for example, first structure 30) are each provided with an adjuster mechanism 40 that can adjust the distance from the floor surface, as shown in FIG. Furthermore, the adjuster mechanism 40 may be provided at the lower end of each of the second member 32 and the third member 33.
[0063] (Effect of the seventh feature) According to the seventh feature, by adjusting the distance between the floor surface and the wall-mounted object installed on the wall surface, the structure (for example, first structure 30) can be installed firmly and safely. In addition, the adjuster mechanisms 40 at the lower ends of the second member 32 and the third member 33 can be adjusted individually, preventing the structure (for example, first structure 30) from tilting or rattling.
