Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a technique for a mounting member and a mounting structure for a wall-hanging item, and more particularly to a mounting member and a mounting structure for mounting a wall-hanging item on a wall of a building. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, wall-mounted items such as tables, shelves, and chairs that are attached to the walls of buildings have been known, such as the wall-mounted tables disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, which are fixed to the wall at any height via shelf support members and are attached so that the table top can be rotated by the shelf support members. Such folding wall-mounted tables have the advantage that they can be easily switched between horizontal and vertical positions by rotating the table top, and can be folded and stored compactly when not in use, allowing for effective use of space regardless of where the table is installed.

[0003] However, since the interior wall panels of many buildings are made of materials such as plywood and gypsum board (plasterboard), when fastening relatively heavy wall-hanging items to the wall panels with fastening members such as screws (bolts) and nails, the wall panels have low load-bearing capacity, and the fastening members do not have enough holding power to withstand repeated loads, making it impossible to stably secure the wall-hanging items. For this reason, conventional mounting structures for wall-hanging items have adopted a configuration in which the wall-hanging items are directly fastened to the base material, such as studs or partition posts, behind the wall panels.

[0004] However, in the conventional wall-hanging item mounting structure described above, a base material had to be placed at the location where the wall-hanging item was to be mounted, corresponding to the wall-hanging item (the shelf support member). Therefore, if the base material was not placed at the mounting location or if the base material pitch was off, the wall-hanging item could not be mounted. In other words, with the conventional wall-hanging item mounting structure, there were cases where the wall-hanging item could not be mounted in an arbitrary position, and there was a problem that the mounting position of the wall-hanging item was limited. In addition, with the conventional wall-hanging item mounting structure, the fastening members were exposed on the wall surface, which made the appearance unattractive, detracting from the aesthetics of the space and making it less suitable for interior design.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems with regard to mounting members and mounting structures for wall-hanging items, and aims to provide mounting members and mounting structures for wall-hanging items that have a high degree of freedom in the mounting position of the wall-hanging item and are aesthetically pleasing. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The problem to be solved by the present invention is as described above, and the means for solving this problem will now be described.

[0008] That is, in claim 1, a mounting device for mounting a wall-hanging item on a wall of a building comprises: a plate-shaped support panel that is brought into contact with a wall panel; a decorative panel that is attached to the support panel so as to cover the surface; a first fastening member that penetrates the wall panel to fasten the support panel to a base material on the back of the wall panel; and a second fastening member that penetrates the decorative panel to fasten the wall-hanging item to the support panel when the wall-hanging item is positioned on the decorative panel. The decorative panel is formed into a lid-like body that is rectangular when viewed from the front, and has an engagement piece on its upper edge that can be engaged with the support panel. It is something.

[0009] In claim 2, the decorative panel has a through hole formed therein at a position where the wall-hanging item is to be attached, the through hole passing through the front and rear surfaces. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] Next, an embodiment of the invention will be described.

[0016] As shown in Figure 1, the mounting member 3 of the wall-mounted table 2 in this embodiment is configured as a mounting fixture that can mount the folding wall-mounted table 2 as a wall-mounted item at any position on the wall 1 of a building.

[0017] As an example, the wall 1 is constructed as a known wall that divides the interior space of a building such as a reinforced concrete building or apartment building, and multiple studs 10 serving as columnar base materials are erected in parallel, spaced apart, between a ceiling frame and a floor frame (not shown), and multiple wall panels 11 are fixed to the surface of the studs 10.

[0018] The studs 10 are made of a lightweight steel frame known as LGS (Light Gauge Steel), and in this embodiment, for example, the studs 10 are formed by bending a metal plate, such as a hot-dip galvanized steel plate, into a square cross section. The upper and lower ends of the studs 10 are positioned and fixed to the ceiling framework and floor framework via runners (not shown). In addition, a plurality of spacers (not shown) are arranged at predetermined intervals along the length of the openings of the studs 10, and a plurality of sway braces (not shown) are fixed to the corresponding spacers, horizontally crossing each stud 10.

[0019] The wall panel 11 is made by gluing together one or two sheets of well-known gypsum board known as plasterboard, and is fixed to the studs 10 with fastening members (not shown) such as tapping screws or bolts. A cloth material (not shown) is attached to the entire surface of the wall panel 11 with an adhesive.

[0020] 1 to 4, the wall-mounted table 2 is an example of a wall-mounted item, and is configured as a legless foldable wall-mounted table whose table top 20 can be switched between a horizontal position and a vertical position. Specifically, the wall-mounted table 2 has a pair of foldable shelf support members 21, 21 arranged at a predetermined interval on the underside of the table top 20, and the pair of shelf support members 21 are linked together to allow the table top 20 to be attached so as to be freely rotatable.

[0021] The table top 20 forms the top surface of the wall-mounted table 2 when fixed in a horizontal position, and has a width of 600 mm to 1200 mm and a depth of 400 mm to 800 mm, as is commonly used for well-known top surfaces of work tables, PC desks, etc. In particular, since the table top 20 of the wall-mounted table 2 of this embodiment can be switched to a vertical position, the size of the table top 20 is suitably selected taking into consideration the height of the wall-mounted table 2 from the ground surface.

[0022] The shelf support member 21 can be a known shelf support device (metal fittings), and the shelf support member 21 of this embodiment is configured to be foldable by, as an example, connecting a fixed bracket 22 fixed to the mounting member 3 described later and a movable bracket 23 fixed to the table top 20 so that they can rotate in forward and reverse directions around a pivot pin 24.

[0023] The fixed bracket 22 has a plurality of mounting holes 22a drilled at predetermined positions (six positions in this embodiment) that penetrate from the front to the back surface (see FIG. 4), and second fastening members 33 are screwed into each mounting hole 22a to fasten the fixed bracket 22 to the support panel 30. The movable bracket 23 also has a plurality of mounting holes (not shown) drilled that penetrate from the front to the back surface, and the movable bracket 23 and the movable table 20 are fastened to each other with screw members 25 (see FIG. 3).

[0024] Between the fixed bracket 22 and the movable bracket 23, there is provided an engagement piece 27, one end of which is rotatably connected to the fixed bracket 22 and the other end of which is biased by a spring member 26 in a direction that brings it into contact with the movable bracket 23. The table top 20 is stopped in a horizontal position when the engagement piece 27 engages with a notch 23b formed in the movable bracket 23. A release lever 28 that pushes the engagement piece 27 is disposed on the movable bracket 23, and when the release lever 28 is operated, the engagement piece 27 is released from the notch 23a of the movable bracket 23.

[0025] When not in use, the wall-mounted table 2 is folded so that the table top 20 is in a vertical position, and when in use, the table top 20 can be lifted and rotated to switch to a horizontal position. When switching the wall-mounted table 2 to a horizontal position, the engagement piece 27 moves while abutting against the movable bracket 23 as the movable bracket 23 rotates, and when the table top 20 is in a horizontal position, the tip of the engagement piece 27 engages with the notch 23a of the movable bracket 23, thereby maintaining the horizontal position (see Figure 3).

[0026] When switching the wall-mounted table 2 to a vertical position, the release lever 28 is operated and then the table top 20 is rotated downward, and eventually the movable bracket 23 is accommodated in the fixed bracket 22, and the table top 20 is stopped in a vertical position (see Figure 3).

[0027] As shown in Figures 4 to 9, the mounting member 3 is a fixture for attaching the wall-mounted table 2 to any position on the wall 1, and specifically consists of a plate-shaped support panel 30 that abuts against the wall panel 11, a decorative panel 31 that is attached to the support panel 30 so as to cover its surface, and fastening members 32 and 33 for fixing the support panel 30 and the wall-mounted table 2 together.

[0028] As shown in Fig. 5, the support panel 30 is a thin, rectangular plate-like member when viewed from the front, and can be formed using known wood, resin, metal, or other materials. Plywood, such as plywood (lauan plywood or the like) or medium-density fiberboard (MDF) or particle board, is preferably used, as it is relatively lightweight and has adequate rigidity. The support panel 30 is formed so that its front and back surfaces are flat, with one surface abutting against the wall panel 11 and the other surface abutting against the decorative panel 31. The upper edge of the support panel 30 has a notch 30a cut out in a right-angled staircase pattern at the edge on the abutting surface with the wall panel 11, and the upper edge (engagement piece 31d) of the decorative panel 31 engages with this notch 30a (see Fig. 7, etc.).

[0029] The support panel 30 is preferably formed to have a width greater than the pitch width of the studs 10, and specifically, is preferably formed to have a width of 700 mm or more compared to the pitch width (approximately 300 mm to 450 mm) of a normal stud 10. Forming the support panel 30 in this manner makes it easy to fasten the support panel 30 to multiple (2 to 3) studs 10.

[0030] 6, the decorative panel 31 is a plate-like member having a rectangular shape in front view and substantially the same shape as the support panel 30 described above, and can be formed from one or a combination of two or more materials, such as metal materials such as iron plate, steel plate, and aluminum plate, cork material, and resin material. Preferably, all or a part of the decorative panel 31 (main body 31a) is formed from iron plate or steel plate, which is a magnetic material. In particular, by forming all or a part of the decorative panel 31 (main body 31a) from iron plate, which is a magnetic material, it can be used as a magnetic board to which notes, documents, etc. can be attached using magnets, clips, etc., and can be combined with the wall-mounted table 2 to design a space with excellent functionality.

[0031] The decorative panel 31 is formed so that the front and back surfaces of the main body 31a are flat, with one surface abutting against the support panel 30 and the other surface abutting against the shelf holder member 21 (fixed bracket 22). The decorative panel 31 is formed as a rectangular lid-like body with side surfaces 31b extending perpendicularly from the periphery of the main body 31a, and an engagement piece 31c extending further perpendicularly from the upper side surface 31b is formed (see FIG. 7).

[0032] The main body 31a of the decorative panel 31 has a plurality of through holes 31d drilled through the front and back surfaces on the left and right lower peripheries (two locations) that are the mounting positions for the shelf support members 21. Each through hole 31d is provided at a position corresponding to a mounting hole 22a formed in the fixing bracket 22 of the shelf support member 21, and second fastening members 33 are screwed through each through hole 31d to fasten the fixing bracket 22 and the support panel 30 together.

[0033] The decorative panel 31 is formed so that the main body 30a is the same size as or larger than the support panel 30, at least when viewed from the front, and is attached to the support panel 30 fixed to the wall panel 11 by engaging the engagement piece 31c with the cutout portion 30a of the support panel 30 from above, thereby covering the surface of the support panel 30 with the main body 31a and side surface 31b (see Figure 7, etc.). When the decorative panel 31 is attached to the support panel 30, the wall panel 11 and the decorative panel 31 are in close contact with each other so that no gaps are formed between them.

[0034] The fastening members 32 and 33 are members such as screws for attaching the wall-mounted table 2 to the wall 1. In this embodiment, a first fastening member 32 is used which penetrates the wall panel 11 and fastens the support panel 30 to the studs 10 on the back of the wall panel, and a second fastening member 33 is used which penetrates the decorative panel 31 and fastens the wall-mounted table 2 to the support panel 30 when the wall-mounted table 2 is positioned on the decorative panel 31.

[0035] The fastening members 32 and 33 (first fastening member 32 and second fastening member 33) can be any known member, and preferably include screw members with threads cut into part of the shaft and acute-angled or drill-shaped tips 32a and 33a, such as wood screws, coarse threads, universal screws, tapping screws, and drill screws. By using such screw members, the support panel 30 and the wall-mounted table 2 can be attached without drilling pilot holes in the studs 10 or wall panel 11.

[0036] The first fastening member 32 fastens the support panel 30, which serves as the object to be fastened, to the stud 10, which serves as the mating member, and is screwed into any number of locations (five locations per stud in this embodiment) from the front side of the support panel 30 within the range of the stud 10 arranged on the back of the wall panel, with the support panel 30 abutting against the wall panel 11 (see Figures 1 and 4, etc.). When a rotational force is applied to the first fastening member 32 by, for example, an electric rotary tool, the tip 32a is screwed into the wall panel 11 and the stud 10 through the support panel 30, forming a female thread inside the wall panel 11 and the stud 10.

[0037] 8, when the support panel 10 is fastened with the first fastening members 32, the tips 32a of the first fastening members 32 protrude from the studs 10, and the bearing surfaces of the heads of the first fastening members 32 seat on the surface of the support panel 10, thereby pressing the support panel 30 against the wall panel 11 with an axial force generated by the engagement of the threads of the first fastening members 32 with the studs 10, etc. As described above, the support panel 30 is fixed with the wall panel 11 sandwiched between it by screwing multiple first fastening members 32 into multiple arbitrary locations within the range of the studs 10 arranged on the back of the wall panel.

[0038] The first fastening member 32 is covered by the decorative panel 31 attached to the support panel 30 and is not exposed to the outside.

[0039] The second fastening member 33 fastens the wall-mounted table 2 as a fastened object to the support panel 30 as a mating member, and is screwed into the support panel 30 from the front side of the fixed bracket 22 through the mounting holes 22a and the through holes 31d with the fixing bracket 22 of the shelf support member 21 abutting against the decorative panel 31 and the wall-mounted table 2 positioned so that the mounting holes 22a of the fixing bracket 22 match the corresponding through holes 31d of the decorative panel 31 (see Figures 1 and 4, etc.). Similarly, when a rotational force is applied to the second fastening member 33 by an electric rotary tool or the like, the tip 33a is screwed into the support panel 30 while forming a female thread inside the support panel 30.

[0040] 9, when the wall-mounted table 2 (fixed bracket 22) is fastened with the second fastening members 33, the tips 33a of the second fastening members 33 protrude from the wall panel 11, and the seating surfaces of the heads of the second fastening members 33 are seated on the surface of the fixed bracket 22, whereby the wall-mounted table 2 (fixed bracket 22) is fastened so as to be pressed against the decorative panel 31 by axial force generated by the engagement of the threads of the second fastening members 33 with the support panel 30. Then, the plurality of second fastening members 33 are screwed into the respective mounting holes 22a and through-holes 31d, whereby the wall-mounted table 2 is fixed with the decorative panel 31 sandwiched therebetween.

[0041] Furthermore, the second fastening member 33 does not have a stud 10 positioned on the back of the wall panel, and when the wall-mounted table 2 (fixed bracket 22) is fixed, the tip 33a of the second fastening member 33 does not protrude into the stud 10 (see Figure 9, etc.).

[0042] Next, referring to Figure 1, the procedure for attaching the wall-mounted table 2 to the wall 1 will be explained. In the mounting structure of the wall-mounted table 2 of this embodiment, first, the mounting position of the wall-mounted table 2 relative to the wall panel 11 can be freely determined. First, a known subfloor sensor or the like is used to confirm the arrangement of studs 10 on the back of the wall panel at the location where the wall-mounted table 2 is to be attached. Then, with the support panel 30 pressed against the wall panel 11 and in abutment, first fastening members 32 are screwed into any multiple locations along the arrangement of the studs 10 on the back of the wall panel to fasten the support panel 30 to the studs 10.

[0043] Next, the decorative panel 31 is attached to the support panel 30 fixed to the wall panel 11 by engaging the engagement pieces 31c of the decorative panel 31 from above with the cutout portions 30a of the support panel 30 so as to cover the surface of the support panel 30. With the engagement pieces 31c on the upper edge engaged with the cutout portions 30a, the decorative panel 31 is attached without slipping or coming off the support panel 30 by positioning the wall-mounted table 2 at the lower peripheral portion and fastening it to the support panel 30.

[0044] Then, the fixing bracket 22 of the wall-mounted table 2 is abutted against the decorative panel 31 attached to the support panel 30, and the mounting holes 22a of the fixing bracket 22 are aligned with the corresponding through holes 31d of the decorative panel 31 to position the wall-mounted table 2. Then, the second fastening members 33 are screwed through each mounting hole 22a and through hole 31d to fasten the wall-mounted table 2 to the support panel 30.

[0045] As described above, the mounting member 3 for the wall-mounted table 2 in this embodiment is a mounting member 3 for mounting a folding wall-mounted table 2 to the wall 1 of a building, and comprises a plate-shaped support panel 30 that abuts against the wall panel 11 of the wall 1, a decorative panel 31 that is attached to the support panel 30 so as to cover its surface, a first fastening member 32 that penetrates the wall panel 11 and fastens the support panel 30 to the studs 10 on the back of the wall panel, and a second fastening member 33 that penetrates the decorative panel 31 and fastens the wall-mounted table 2 to the support panel 30 when the wall-mounted table 2 is positioned on the decorative panel 31. This allows for a high degree of freedom in the mounting position of the wall-mounted table 2, and a configuration that is aesthetically pleasing.

[0046] That is, unlike conventional mounting structures for wall-hanging items, the mounting member 3 of this embodiment fastens the wall-mounted table 2 not directly to the base material behind the wallboard, but to a plate-shaped support panel 30 fastened to studs 10. Therefore, by screwing the first fastening members 32 into any location on the support panel 30 according to the arrangement of the studs 10 behind the wallboard, the support panel 30 can be freely positioned without being restricted by the arrangement of the studs 10. Therefore, by fastening the wall-mounted table 2 to such a support panel 30, the wall-mounted table 2 can be freely attached to any position. Furthermore, by covering the surface of the support panel 30 with a decorative panel 31, the mounting member 3 looks good and has excellent interior design appeal, and the first fastening members 32 are not exposed, so the aesthetics of the space are not marred.

[0047] In particular, in the mounting member 3 of this embodiment, the decorative panel 31 has a through-hole formed therein that penetrates from the front to the back at the mounting position of the wall-mounted table 2, making the mounting work of the wall-mounted table 2 easy.

[0048] In addition, in the mounting member 3 of this embodiment, the decorative panel 31 is formed as a lid-like body that is rectangular when viewed from the front, and an engagement piece 31d that can engage with the support panel 30 is provided on the upper edge, so that the decorative panel 31 can be easily attached to the support panel 30, improving the workability when installing the wall-mounted table 2.

[0049] The mounting member 3 of the wall-mounted table 2 and the configuration of the mounting structure thereof are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the object of the present invention.

[0050] In other words, the mounting member 3 in the above-mentioned embodiment has been described as having a configuration in which the support panel 30 is fastened to three studs 10, but the shape and arrangement of the support panel 30 are not limited to this and can be changed as appropriate depending on the configuration of the wall 1 or the wall-mounted table 2, and the arrangement and number of the first fastening members 32 for fastening the support panel 30 are not particularly limited.

[0051] Furthermore, in the mounting member 3 of the above-described embodiment, the fastening members 32, 33 are described as being configured as threaded members such as wood screws, but the configuration of the fastening members 32, 33 is not limited to this, and for example, screw members with a flat or rounded tip, or in particular well-known anchor screws, etc. may be used as the second fastening members 33. In such cases, predetermined mounting holes may be drilled in the wall panel 11 or the support panel 30 to allow the screw members to be easily inserted.

[0052] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the wall 1 is described as being configured such that studs 10 formed by bending a cross section into a square shape are arranged as columnar base materials, but the configuration of the base material is not limited to this. For example, studs, furring strips, and cross braces made of wood, as found in wooden buildings, may be arranged as base materials, or studs made of metal plate material bent into a square shape in cross section may be arranged.

[0053] Furthermore, the wall-mounted table 2 in the above-described embodiment has been described as having a configuration in which the spring member 26 biases the engaging piece 27 as the shelf support member 21 to abut against the movable bracket 23, but the configuration of the shelf support member 21 is not limited to this and the configuration of a known shelf support device (metal fittings) can be adopted. For example, the engaging piece may be configured so that it can slide and engage with the movable bracket, or the engaging piece may be configured as a foldable joint member, or it may be configured as a known non-foldable shelf support fitting.

[0054] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration was described in the case where a folding wall-mounted table 2 was used as a wall-mounted item, but the configuration of such a wall-mounted item is not limited to this, and for example, known items that are attached to the wall of a building, such as a wall-mounted shelf or wall-mounted chair, can be used, and in such cases, known mounting members 3 can be used as mounting fixtures for these wall-mounted items.
