DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage rack connecting device used when assembling a storage rack device by connecting a plurality of storage racks for storing electronic devices and the like.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a conventional storage rack device, and FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along the line X--X in FIG. 5, showing a conventional storage rack connection device.

In FIGS. 5 and 6, IA indicates the first storage rack,
First and second pillars 2Az in the vertical direction at both ends in the left and right direction,
2A2 is attached, and the first and second pillars 2A, 2A
2 have the required number of holes 3A+ (not shown), 3, respectively.
A2 is provided.

1B indicates a second storage rack, and first and second support columns 2B1.2B2 are attached to both ends in the left and right direction in the vertical direction, and the first and second support columns 2B1.2B2 each have an 11th and a second column.
Pillar 2A1.2A2 hole 3A 1.3A2 and 3, <
.

A required number of holes 3B1, 3B2 are provided at corresponding positions.

4 is a bolt whose threaded portion is inserted into the hole 3A2 of the second support 2A2 and the hole 3B+ of the first support 2B1; 5 is the bolt 4
It shows the NAND screwed into the threaded part of the bolt 4 and nut 5.
A storage rack connection device is constructed.

Next, the assembly of a storage rack device using the above-mentioned conventional storage rack connection device will be explained.

As shown in FIG. 5, the first and second storage racks IA,
The respective second and first pillars 2A2.2B of the IB are brought into contact with each other.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the threaded portions of the bolts 4 are inserted into the holes 3B+ and 3A2, and the nuts 5 are screwed into the threaded portions of the bolts 4 and fastened.

In this way, by connecting the first and second storage racks A11B using the storage rack connection device consisting of the bolts 4 and nuts 5, a storage rack device can be formed.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the conventional storage rack connection device described above is composed of bolts 4 and nuts 5, and in order to perform the connection work inside the first and second storage racks IA and IB, a large number of them are connected. When reassembling the storage racks, electronic devices and the like stored in the storage racks must be temporarily removed to perform the work, which poses a problem in that the work becomes complicated.

If the storage rack is custom-made, it will be temporarily assembled and adjusted at the factory, then transported to the customer's site and formally reassembled and installed. There was a problem in that the work had to be carried out by taking it out, which made the work especially complicated.

The present invention is intended to solve such conventional problems, and aims to provide a storage rack connecting device that can easily connect a plurality of storage racks.

Means for Solving the Problem In order to achieve the above object, the present invention forms hollow portions that are open on one side and downward in the corresponding columns of the first and second storage racks that are arranged adjacent to each other. However, connecting members are attached from above and below the hollow part so as to sandwich the upper and lower ends of the opposing side walls of the front five pillars.

Therefore, according to the present invention, since the connecting member can be opened several times from above and below the first and second storage racks, that is, from the outside, the first and second storage racks can be easily connected. It has this effect.

It is fixed as follows.

FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the structure of a part (upper part) of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. This is a sectional view taken along the Z line, and the same members as in FIGS. 1 and 2 are given the same reference numerals.

In FIGS. 3 and 4, 13A22 is the first
14A22
15 is a notch into which a second connection holder 20, which will be described later, is inserted.
A indicates a hollow portion formed by the first storage rack 11A and the second support column 12A2.

7 base/13Bz2 is a hole for mounting a second bracket 18B, which will be described later; 14. B22 is the second connection holder 2
The notch 15B into which 0 is inserted is the second storage rack 11B and the first storage rack 11B.
018 showing the hollow part formed by the pillar 12B1 of
A and 18B indicate the first and second brackets having an L-shaped cross section, respectively, and the first platinum l-18A has a hollow part with a screw 19A inserted into the hole 13A22 from the outside of the side surface of the second support 12A2. 15A, and the second platoon l-18B is fixed in the hollow part 15B with a screw 19B inserted into the hole 13B12 from the outside of the side surface of the first support column 12B.

Reference numeral 20 indicates a second connection holder having a throat-shaped cross section, and with the center portion inserted into the notch portion 14A22.14B12 from above, the bolts 21A and 21B are inserted from above into the hollow portions 15A and 15B. Both flanges are fixed to the first and second platens 18A and 18B, respectively.

Although not shown, the first storage rack 11A has a second
A first support similar to the support 12A2 is attached to the left end so as to face each other, and the first support 12A2 is attached to the second storage rack 11B.
