The rear lower surface of the glass shelf, which is the back side, and the front lower surface, which is the front side, were installed horizontally by simply resting on shelf support dowels provided protruding from the inner wall surfaces of the scallops and side plates.

[Problem that the invention aims to solve] However, glass shelves are slippery, so when tableware or drink bottles are put in and taken out of the glass shelves, or due to vibrations, etc., the glass shelves slide out to the front, and the rear end of the glass shelf slides out. It sometimes came off the shelf support dowel supporting the end, fell, and broke along with tableware, etc.

The present invention was developed in view of these problems, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide a shelf holder that prevents the shelf from coming off the shelf and falling due to vibrations, etc., when putting in and taking out tableware, etc. do.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Means for solving the problems described above will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, which correspond to the first embodiment.

That is, the present invention includes a substantially U-shaped shelf insertion part 11 whose back side is open and whose front side wall surface is a stopper; 18
and a fitting part 12 having elasticity that is pressed and externally fitted into the shelf support dowel from above, and the shelf insertion part 11 and the fitting part 12 are integrally formed by integral molding of plastic. There is a shelf bracket that is characterized by this.

[Function] The first step of installing the shelf G on the storage furniture B using the shelf holder _A1 is to first attach the shelf holder A to the corner of the front edge Gf of the shelf G, as shown in FIG. ₁ from the opening 10 side, fit the shelf insertion part 11, and then
By placing the fitting part 12 on the shelf support dowel C protruding from the inner wall surface of the side plate Ba and pressing it downward,
By once opening the claw pieces 18 and fitting them onto the shelf support dowels C, the shelf G can be installed horizontally on the inner wall surface of the side plate Ba.

In this way, the shelf holder A has the shelf insertion part 11
Since the shelf G is inserted into the shelf G and is supported horizontally on the inner surface of the side plate Ba, even if the shelf G tries to slide toward the front side, the stopper 14 of the shelf insertion part 11 will prevent it from sliding. Sliding is regulated and it will not come off the shelf support A.

[Example] Examples of the present invention will be described below.

1 to 5 show a first embodiment, and the first embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS.

The shelf bracket A ₁ is made of synthetic resin, for example.
For example, it is held by being fitted onto a shelf support dowel C protruding from the inner wall surface of a side plate Ba of storage furniture B. If the shelf dowel C has a flange on its head as shown by the chain line in FIG. 2, the shelf bracket _A1 will be prevented from moving inward.

This shelf support A ₁ is integrally formed with a shelf insertion part 11 having an opening 10 and a U-shaped cross section into which the shelf G is inserted, and a fitting part 12 which fits into the support shaft C. .

The shelf insertion part 11 includes a tongue piece 13 that presses the shelf G,
It is formed into a substantially U-shape by a horizontal main body 15 and a vertical wall stopper 14 that the front edge of the shelf G comes into contact with to prevent the shelf G from coming off.

The tongue piece 13 has elasticity that makes it easy to insert the shelf G and presses it with an appropriate pressing force, and a tapered part 16 that makes it easy to insert the shelf G is formed at the tip. There is a tapered portion 17 that slopes upward as it moves away from the opening 10.
They are formed respectively.

The fitting part 12 consists of a pair of opposing curved claw pieces 18, 18 protruding from the lower surface of the horizontal main body 15, and has a taper at its tip to facilitate fitting into the shelf support dowel C. The portions 19, 19 have U-shaped hollowed out portions 20, 20 formed along the curve on the outside of the base, respectively. The hollowed out parts 20, 20 create elasticity at the base of the claw pieces 18, 18, and even if the shelf holder A ₁ itself is made of resin having a certain degree of hardness, the claw pieces 18, 18 cannot be attached to the shelf. The fitting attachment to the receiving dowel C is facilitated, and the fitting can be ensured. The inner wall surfaces of the pair of claw pieces 18, 18 form a fitting opening 12a.

The shelf support dowel C is a bush 21 embedded in such a way that the threaded rod portion of the base thereof is driven horizontally into the front side of the opposite inner wall surface of the storage furniture, as shown in FIG.
It is screwed together.

Note that the rear end support D that supports the back end Ge of the shelf G is connected to the back plate Bb of the furniture B as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
It is externally fitted onto a rear shelf support dowel E screwed into a bushing 22 which is horizontally driven into the inner wall surface on both sides near the .

This rear end support D has a cylindrical portion 23 that supports the shelf G.
The flange portion 24 and the flange portion 24 are integrally formed of synthetic resin or rubber.

Next, using the shelf holder _A1 with the above configuration, the shelf G
The procedure for horizontally installing furniture B between the inner wall surfaces will be explained.

First, as shown in FIG. 3, the rear end Ge of the shelf G is placed on the cylindrical portion 23 of the rear end support D, and the front edge Gf on the near side is lifted upward to place the entire shelf G in an obliquely upward position.

Next, the shelf insertion part 11 is inserted into the front edge Gf of the shelf G through the opening 10 against the elasticity of the tongue piece 11, and the shelf holder _A1 is attached. In that state, the trailing edge Ge of the shelf G
Using the leading edge Gf as a fulcrum, move the leading edge downward (third
(lower end side in the figure), engage the pair of claws 18 of the shelf holder _A1 so as to straddle the shelf holder dowel C, and press the shelf holder _A1 . Then, the claw pieces 18 are once expanded due to the elasticity of the claw pieces 18 themselves and the action of the hollowed-out portions 20, and then fit into the shelf support dowels C in a hugging manner.

In this way, after the shelf G is supported horizontally between the left and right inner wall surfaces of the furniture B by the shelf support A ₁ and the rear end support D, the shelf G inside the furniture B is
To move it to the front side, use the stopper 14 of shelf bracket _A1 .
regulated by.

Since the shelf support A ₁ has such a configuration, the stopper 14 restricts the movement of the shelf G from sliding toward the front on the shelf support A ₁ , and the rear edge Ge of the shelf G supports the rear end. This prevents it from coming off the tool D.

Furthermore, even if the shelf G is accidentally pushed up from below when placing or removing tableware, bottles, etc. from the lower shelf (not shown), the shelf G will be pushed up from the shelf insertion part 1.
1, the shelf holder A ₁ restricts its lifting and prevents the shelf G from coming off from the shelf holder A ₁ .

Figures 6 and 7 show the shelf bracket _A2 of the second embodiment.
The difference from the shelf holder _A1 of the first embodiment is that the side surface of the shelf G is attached to the side surface of the shelf insertion part 11.
Shelf side support part 2 that receives and protects G _S (see Figure 5) and prevents the shelf from falling off due to the shelf support _A2 moving laterally inward of the shelf G.
5, and the tongue piece 13 becomes the upper edge 26.The other parts are the same as the shelf bracket _A1 of the first embodiment, so the same numbers are given and the explanation is omitted. .

Furthermore, the procedure for mounting and supporting the shelf G is also the same as in the first embodiment.

In addition, this shelf support A ₂ requires two types, one in which the shelf side support part 25 is formed on the right side in FIG. 7 and one in which it is formed on the left side, corresponding to the left and right inner wall surfaces of the furniture. .

FIG. 8 shows a shelf bracket A ₃ according to the third embodiment, and its structure is almost the same as that of the shelf bracket A ₁ according to the first embodiment, except that the structure is similar to that of the shelf bracket A 1 according to the first embodiment. The cutout parts 120, 120 are formed long to near the tips of the claw pieces 18, 18, thereby preventing accidents such as the claw pieces 18, 18 opening too much outward and breaking when the shelf is moved in the front-rear direction.

Each of the above shelf brackets A ₁ . A ₂ and A ₃ can be adapted to various types of shelves other than glass shelves.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, the shelf support of the invention is designed to be supported horizontally, for example, on the inner wall surface of a side panel of furniture by inserting the front edge of the shelf into the shelf insertion part having a U-shaped cross section. Therefore, even if the shelf tries to move toward the front, the vertical wall having a U-shaped cross section acts as a stopper to restrict the movement and prevent the shelf from coming off.

In addition, even if the shelf is accidentally pushed up from below when placing dishes, bottles, etc. in and out of the lower shelf, the shelf insertion part prevents the shelf from lifting up. It will never come off the shelf bracket. It also has an earthquake-resistant effect that can prevent accidents during earthquakes.

Furthermore, according to the shelf holder of the present invention, a fitting part 12 consisting of a pair of curved elastic claw pieces 18, 18 is integrally provided on the lower surface of the shelf insertion part 11 having a U-shaped cross section. Therefore, after fitting the shelf bracket to the shelf, the shelf can be safely installed by placing the shelf on the dowels that have been set up in advance on the vertical wall of the furniture and applying downward pressure.
It is easy to install and fix, and even if the diameter of the dowel is large or small, it can be fixed by pressing, so it can be easily used on existing furniture.

Furthermore, even if it is used for furniture such as a double-sided hatch where items are taken in and out of the shelf from the front and back of the furniture, and it is necessary to fix the front, back, left and right sides of the shelf with the shelf brackets of the present invention, it is possible to By inserting and fixing the insertion part 11 of the shelf holder in advance at a location and pressing it onto the corresponding four dowels in the furniture, the claw pieces 18, 18 of each fitting part 12 will be elastic. The upper four parts of the shelf can be fixed by movable external fitting, which has the effect of making the operation easier.
