Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pedestal that is fixed to the bottom plate of a casing in which an electronic device or the like is housed and is held from the top surface of a table or the like on which the casing is installed.

(b) Prior art and problems A plurality of pedestals made of rubber plates are fixed to the bottom plate of a housing housing electronic equipment, etc., and the housing is installed on the top surface, which is the installation surface for a table, etc. In this case, a stable installation is ensured. Such a casing is schematically constructed as shown in the side view of FIG.

Generally, an operation panel 2A is provided in a tabletop case 2 housing an electronic device, and a plurality of pedestals 3 are screwed onto a bottom plate 2B with mounting screws 4.
Such a housing 2 is installed on the upper surface 1A of the table 1.

Conventionally, such a pedestal 3 is formed as shown in FIG. It is formed of elasticity such as rubber, and a through hole 3A into which the mounting screw 4 is inserted is provided in the center. Therefore, the mounting screw 4 is inserted into the through hole 3A of the pedestal foot 3, and the one side 3B is attached to the bottom plate 2.
The other surface 3C abuts the upper surface 1A of the table 1 to hold the casing 2.

The pedestal 3 that holds the casing 2 in this way is made of the aforementioned rubber material that is elastic and has a large coefficient of friction, and due to the difference in the horizontal level of the top surface 1A of the table 1, In order to prevent this from occurring,
It is designed to be installed stably so that it will not slide due to external forces.

However, with such a configuration, if you want to change the direction of the operation wall surface 2A or shift the installation position for maintenance or inspection, you have to lift and move the housing 2 by hand. The large weight of the device makes it difficult to move, and there is also the problem that the device may be dropped when lifted, causing damage to the device.

(c) Purpose of the invention The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device that eliminates the above-mentioned problems by making it possible to move the installation position of the casing without lifting the casing.

(d) Structure of the invention The purpose of the invention is to have a contact surface that is fixed to the bottom of a casing and comes into contact with a predetermined installation surface to support the casing. A member made of an elastic material and, if necessary, a rotation provided approximately in the center of the member so that the housing can be transferred by forming a predetermined distance between the contact surface and the installation surface. This is achieved by arranging a rotary body consisting of a rotatable hoball or a roller.

(e) Example of the invention The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to FIG.
A1, a2, b, c, d1, d2, and e in FIG. 3 are explanatory diagrams showing one embodiment of the pedestal according to the present invention.

As shown in a1, a metal fitting 11 that is screwed onto the housing
A member 10 made of an elastic rubber material is fixed to the outer periphery of the metal fitting 11, and a ball 12 made of a hard material is secured to the metal fitting 11 by a stopper 13. It is.

The metal fitting 11 has a mounting screw hole 11 for screwing into the housing.
A, a mounting screw 11B for the stopper 13, and a spherical hole 11C that serves as a receiving surface for the ball 12. The ball 12 is inserted into the hole 11C, and the stopper 1
3 to the screw 11B, the ball 12 is rotatably locked to the metal fitting 11. Since this ball 12 protrudes from the lower surface 10A, which is the contact surface of the member 10, the ball 12 is brought into contact with the upper surface 1A of the table 1, a gap S1 is obtained between the upper surface 1A and the lower surface 10A, and the ball 12 rotates. This makes it possible to move the casing as described above. In addition, when installing at a predetermined installation position, as shown in b, a through hole 1B is provided in the table 1, and the protruding part of the ball 12 is dropped into the through hole 1B, so that the lower surface 10A and the upper surface 1A are brought into contact with each other. Allows for stable installation.

As shown in a2, the ball 12 may be constructed so as not to protrude from the lower surface of the member 15 by using the same member 15, metal fitting 14, ball 12, and stopper 13 as described above. In this case, the ball 12 is on the top surface 1A.
By fixing the rail 16 provided with a groove 16A in which the ball can rotate, and inserting the ball 12 into the groove 16A,
A gap S3 is formed between the lower surface 15A and the upper surface 1A. Therefore, by rotating the ball 12 along the groove of the rail 16, the same movement as described above is possible, and by cutting off the rail 16 at a predetermined installation position, the ball 12 and the lower surface 15A have an S2
Because of the step shown in FIG. 1, the upper surface 1A and the lower surface 15A are brought into contact with each other, allowing stable installation.

d1 and d2 are the balls 12 described above with rollers 23 provided thereon. A roller 23 made of a hard material is rotatably engaged by a shaft 22 to metal fittings 21 and 24 fixed to respective members 20 and 25 made of a rubber material or the like.

d1 can be moved because the roller 23 protrudes from the lower surface 20A as shown in S1,
The installation can be done using the through hole 1B in the same manner as in b above. In addition, d2 indicates that the roller 23 is on the lower surface 2.
Since it is recessed from 5A, it can be moved by fixing a rail 26 provided with a groove 26A in which the roller 23 can rotate to the upper surface 1A of the table 1, and the rail 26 can be removed for installation. This roller 23 has a groove shape 23 as shown by the dotted line.
It may be formed into A. In this case, the rail 26 may be a simplified bar-shaped rail 27 shown in e, without the groove 26A.

In addition, the respective metal fittings 11 and 1 that are screwed onto the housing
Screw holes 11A, 14 provided in 4, 21, 24
A, 21A, 24A may be formed into a stud 28 provided with mounting screws as shown in c.

With this configuration, the ball 12 or the rollers 23 protruding a1 and d1 do not have limited movement ranges, so it is suitable for cases where the ball 12 or the rollers 23 are recessed. a2 and d2 are rails 16, 26,
27 is required, but the movement range is rails 16, 2.
Since it is regulated by the tension form of 6 and 27, it is suitable for moving within a predetermined range.

(f) Effects of the invention As explained above, the invention has a structure in which a rotatable ball 12 or roller 23 is provided in the center of members 10, 15, 20, 25 made of rubber or the like. . As a result, if you want to move it, you can do it by rotating the ball 12 or roller 23, and if you want to install it, you can move it by rotating the ball 12 or roller 23 by attaching it to the members 10, 15, 20, 25 so that it does not come into contact with the top surface 1A of the table 1. It can be twisted and held.

Therefore, by fixing the pedestal configured in this manner to the casing, it is no longer necessary to lift the casing when moving it as in the past, and damage due to falling can be prevented, and the rails 16, 26, 27 can be When used, it has the advantage of being able to move within a predetermined range, and has great practical effects.
