Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention consists of a downward hook connected to the rear end of the bracket through a large number of vertically aligned vertical holes drilled in the front face of a rectangular cylindrical column. In display shelves that are often used for displaying products, etc., the brackets may fall off due to severe vibration or be accidentally pushed up from below, or the brackets may be lifted up and cause the shelves to fail. This invention relates to a bracket fixture that prevents products placed on a board from falling.

(Prior art) Various devices for this purpose have already been proposed (for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 50-3784, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3784,
50-3610).

These devices include a wedge-like fixing device that is tightly fitted into the hollow space created at the top of the vertical hole where the hook is locked, or the lower end of the fixing device that is locked in the upper end of the vertical hole so that it cannot move upward. The upper edge of the hook is pressed and fixed.

(Problem that the present invention aims to solve) However, if the supports and brackets are changed depending on the weight and size of the displayed products, the length of the vertical holes and the spacing between the vertical holes will change, so it is difficult to lock the hooks. It is necessary to prepare several types of fixtures with different sizes depending on the length of the space above the vertical holes and the spacing between the vertical holes.

Further, when the upper end of the fixture is to be locked in the vertically elongated hole above the hook, it is not possible to lock the hook in this vertically long hole and thereby narrow the gap between the shelves.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention consists of folding the upper piece forward from the rear end of the lower piece, which is made of an elastic material and facing in the front-rear direction, with a slight gap, and A step-like engagement part is provided at the front end of the upper piece, and the folded part is pushed from the front into the void created above the vertically long hole at the top where the hook of the bracket is engaged. By means of a fixture that engages the engaging part with the upper edge of the vertical hole and presses the bracket downward,
This is an attempt to solve the above-mentioned problems.

(Function) Since the fixing device of the present invention is made of an elastic material, it can be simply pushed into the void created above the hook without loosening due to vibrations, etc., and the engaging portion has a stepped shape. Because of this, even if the length of the space above the hook changes by changing the support or hook, it can be fixed with the same fixing tool.

(Example) FIG. 1 shows a fixture 1 of the present invention. From the rear end (right end in FIG. 1) of a lower piece 2, which is molded from an elastic material such as synthetic resin and faces in the front-rear direction, The upper piece 3 is placed almost parallel to the lower piece 2 with a slight gap.
It is folded back forward to the middle, and the folded part 4
is curved in a semicircle.

At the front end of the upper piece 3, an ascending step-shaped engagement part 5 (two stages in the figure) is provided, and on the upper surface thereof, a fixing member 1 is attached.
A plurality of protrusions 6 are formed that face in a direction perpendicular to. A knob 7 facing in the vertical direction is formed at the front end of the engaging portion 5, and its lower end is spaced apart from the lower piece 2.

2 and 3 show an example of how the fixing device 1 having the above-mentioned structure is used. Reference numeral 8 indicates a column, 9 indicates vertical holes arranged in a vertical row in the front surface of the column 8, and 10
1 is a bracket, and 11 is a downward hook connected to the rear end of the bracket 10.

The bracket 10 is horizontal and its hook 1
1 into the vertical hole 9 and then drop it into the support column 8.
A cavity 12 is formed in the upper part of the vertically elongated hole 9.

The fixing tool 1 is forcibly pushed into the upper cavity 12 through the folded part 4, and the protrusion 6 of the lower part 5a of the engaging part 5 is engaged with the upper edge of the vertically elongated hole 9. There is.

Therefore, the bracket 10 is pressed downward by the elasticity of the fixture 1 and will not fall off even if it is subjected to vibrations, and will not float up even if it is pushed up.

The pushed-in fixture 1 can be easily pulled out by pushing down the knob 7 and can be used again.

4 and 5 show other examples of how the fixing device 1 is used. Reference numerals 21 and 22 are columns and vertical holes corresponding to 8 and 9 above, respectively, and the vertical hole 22 is vertically long. It is longer than the hole 9, and the vertical distance between the vertically long holes 22 is narrower than the vertical distance between the vertically long holes 9.

Therefore, when the hook 11 is locked in the vertically elongated hole 22, the space 23 formed above is made longer than the space 12.

Even in such a case, if the same fixture 1 is pushed into the vertical hole 22 in the same manner as described above and the protrusion 6 of the high part 5b of the engaging part 5 is engaged with the upper edge of the vertical hole 22, the bracket can be fixed. 10 is the support column 21 as described above.
It is firmly locked in.

Note that the lower piece 2 of the fixture 1 protruding above the bracket 10 serves as a cushioning material when a glass shelf board is installed on the bracket 10, and if it is not necessary, it can be shortened.

Further, the protrusion 6 of the fixture 1 is for securely engaging the fixture 1 with the upper edges of the vertical holes 9, 22, but the pillars 8, 21 are usually relatively thin;
Moreover, since the circumferential edges of the vertically elongated holes 9 and 22 are rough surfaces, there is no problem in practical use even if the protrusion 6 is omitted.

(Effects of the invention) As mentioned above, the fixing device of the present invention is molded from an elastic material, so simply pushing it into the space above the hook securely fixes the bracket without loosening due to vibration etc. In addition, since the engaging portion is stepped, it is possible to use a fixing tool of the same size even for the vertical holes of the support column and the hooks of the bracket, which have different sizes.

In addition, when installing glass shelves, it also serves as a cushioning material.
