Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field]

This invention consists of horizontally elongated openings for inserting hook elements that are formed between hook element retaining portions arranged in multiple upper and lower stages and extending in the horizontal direction, and a downward opening that communicates with the horizontally elongated openings and expands the width of the vertical groove. The present invention relates to an improvement in a display device in which a hook element can be obliquely and removably hooked to a hooking groove having a groove and an upwardly open groove.

[Conventional technology]

Various configurations have been proposed for hooking the hook elements using horizontally long openings and upwardly or downwardly open grooves provided between the hook element hooking parts. In the case of a structure in which the base of the hook element is engaged within, the structure is complicated and the locking operation is troublesome. Furthermore, when simply using one open groove for latching, there is a drawback that if the weight of the product is heavy, it cannot be latched reliably. For example, in a display fixture disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-141565, a structure is disclosed in which a locking tongue piece of a hook base extends vertically from a hook base having a U-shaped cross section. In this case, the hook base is fitted with a fixing piece having a U-shaped cross section that is slidably inserted into the hook bar to prevent the hook base from rotating within the mounting groove and to prevent it from coming off. If there is a risk that the hook base may rotate within the mounting groove as described above, it is necessary to adopt a structure to prevent rotation, which has the drawback of complicating the structure and increasing the number of components.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

This idea was devised as a result of intensive research in view of the above circumstances.The main problem was to prevent the removal prevention board from rotating within the horizontally long opening that serves as the mounting groove, and to move the upper part of the removal prevention board backward. The article is fitted into the horizontally elongated opening at an angle, and is brought into close contact with the upper part at the upper abutting part and the outer surface at the holding surface part along the outer periphery of the hook element retaining part having a substantially horizontally T-shaped cross section. To provide a display device equipped with a hook element capable of distributing a heavy load applied to a support part to a hook element latching part.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, this invention has a horizontally elongated opening for inserting a hook element, which is formed between hook element retaining portions having a substantially horizontally T-shaped cross section arranged in a plurality of vertical stages, and extending in the horizontal direction. , a display device in which a hook element is removably hooked to a hook groove having a downwardly open groove and an upwardly open groove that communicate with the horizontally elongated opening and widen the width of the vertical groove, comprising: (a) a hook element; (b) the hook element has a height longer than the longitudinal width of the horizontally elongated opening; The length is set to be shorter than the groove interval between the upward open groove and the downward open groove and the upper part is tilted rearward to allow entry and exit into the horizontally long opening, and the width is set to be the same as the upward open groove. (c) An upper abutting portion is provided that integrally protrudes outward from the surface of the retaining substrate, and the upper abutment The upper abutment part is set to a length that covers the upper wall surface and abuts almost immediately, and the protruding position of the upper abutment part from the removal prevention board is adjusted so that the upper part of the removal prevention board is tilted backward to form a horizontally elongated opening. (d) Bend from the extending end of the upper abutting part and extend downward to approximately the outer wall surface of the hook element retaining part. The following technical measures are taken: (e) providing a holding surface that can be brought into contact quickly; and (e) providing an article support portion that projects outward on the holding surface.

[Effect]

As a result, the retaining board is inserted into the horizontally elongated opening groove while tilting its upper part backward, and is fitted between the vertically wider upward open groove and the downward open groove, so that both upper and lower ends of the retaining board are supported. Ru. Furthermore, since the width of the retaining board is set wide, even if torque is applied to the hook element, it is restrained between the upward open groove and the downward open groove and the locked position is maintained. In addition, since the upper abutting portion and the holding surface portion abut each other closely along the outer periphery (the upper wall surface and the outer wall surface) of the hook element retaining portion, the load related to the hook element can be dispersed.

【Example】

Preferred embodiments of the display device of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. This display device consists of a combination of a display panel 1 and hangers 14 for holding displayed items, as shown in FIG. That is, the display panel 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3
consists of a flat panel substrate 2 and a hook element latching portion 4 protruding from the surface of the substrate to one side,
It is an integral structure made of light metal such as aluminum. The hook element retaining portion 4 has a substantially horizontally T-shaped cross section with an upward open groove 6 and a downward open groove 7 that communicate with the horizontally elongated opening 5 for inserting the hook element 14 and expand the groove length during assembly and use. It is formed. That is, in the case of this embodiment, one hook element latching portion 4 is provided on the panel substrate 2;
An upper groove-forming wall 41 protrudes from the upper groove-forming wall 41 with an L-shaped cross section, an upper wall surface 41' extending horizontally in the thickness direction from the tip of the upper groove-forming wall 41, and a decorative surface hanging perpendicularly from the tip of the upper wall surface 41'. It consists of an outer wall surface 42 and a central reinforcing wall 43 that is connected approximately horizontally between the middle part of the outer wall surface 42 and the panel substrate 2. A second auxiliary hook portion 20 is formed on the inner side of the lower end of the outer wall surface 42 . In the case of the illustrated panel board 2, the upper edge extends to a position where it is not hidden by the hook element retaining part 4, and the back surface of the extended end has a thickness corresponding to the board thickness of the board 2 along the longitudinal direction. The first main latching part 2
A stepped wall portion 2A forming part a is integrally formed. The stepped wall portion 2A connects the panel substrate 2 to a wall surface, a pillar,
This is to form a groove for panel connection between the panel and the mounting surface when the panel is stretched over the mounting surface of a fixture or the like. Further, on the upper edge side surface portion of the substrate 2, a groove portion 8 for drilling screw holes is provided along the stepped wall portion 2A.
is formed. Further, on the proximal end side of the stepped wall portion 2A, a first auxiliary hook portion 10 that can be engaged with and detached from a second auxiliary hook portion 20 of another display panel to be connected is provided in a protruding manner. That is, this first auxiliary hooking part 10 is connected to the downward opening groove 7.
In this embodiment, since the second auxiliary hooking part 20 is formed in a substantially horizontally L-shaped cross section, the cross section that engages with it is formed at the tip of the lower groove forming wall 50. It is formed into a letter shape. In this invention, the specific shapes of the first and second auxiliary hook parts are not particularly limited,
In short, they may have any shape as long as they can be hooked together. On the other hand, the lower end edge 2B constituting the second main hooking portion 2b of the board 2 is set so as to be hidden by the outer wall surface 42 of the hook element hooking portion 4. Next, a case will be described in which a plurality of panels 1 are stretched on a mounting surface 11 (see FIG. 2) such as a wall surface or a support. In this case, for convenience of explanation,
The code of the display panel to be stretched first is 1,
The display panel to be spliced thereto is designated as 1'.
In setting up the display panels, screw holes 8a are previously drilled with a drill or the like at selected locations at appropriate intervals in the screw hole drilling grooves 8 of each display panel 1, 1'. Thus, one panel 1 is first stretched. The tensioning is easily accomplished by fixing the upper end of the panel substrate 2 to the mounting surface 11 with screws 12 through the screw holes 8a. In this fixed state, an upward groove 13 is formed between the stepped wall 2A on the upper end side of the panel substrate 2 and the mounting surface 11. Then, the lower edge 2B of the substrate of the next panel 1' is fitted into the groove 13 and aligned. At this time, the connection is completed by hooking the first auxiliary hooking part 10 of the lower display panel 1 to the second auxiliary hooking part 20 of the upper display panel 1'. As a result, the upper edge of the first panel 1 is joined to the lower edge of the next panel 1', and at the same time,
The joints between them, the so-called connecting parts, and the fastening parts of the first panel 1 by the screws 12 are covered by the hook element latching parts 4 of the next panel 1'. In addition, the first auxiliary hook part 10 and the second auxiliary hook part 2
0 is also covered by the outer wall surface 42 of the hook element retaining portion 4 and is not exposed. Thus, in the illustrated example, two panels 1,
1' are stretched in a connected state. In addition, in this invention, the number of hook element latching portions 4 may be one or more. That is, the hook element retaining portions 4 may be provided in a plurality of stages (two stages in the illustrated example) in the vertical direction of the panel substrate 2, as shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b. In this case, the hook element latching portion 4' which does not have the second auxiliary latching portion 20 extends from below the outer wall surface 42 toward the panel substrate 2, and then extends through the lower groove forming wall 44 having a generally horizontally L-shaped cross section. The panel board 2 is connected to the panel board 2. Since the hook element latching part 4' having the above structure is integrated with the panel substrate 2, its load-bearing performance is weaker than that of the hook element latching part 4 having the auxiliary latching part.
When used as a load-bearing display panel, it is not preferable to provide a large number of panels on one panel substrate 2. At this time, the first main hook 10 of the top display panel 1 and the second main hook 2b of the bottom display panel 1' are exposed, so if this continues, the aesthetics of the entire connection panel will be affected. It may also be damaged. Therefore, as shown by the dotted line in FIG. An upper cover part 30 having a stop part 20 may be provided. Furthermore, as similarly shown by the dotted line, a lower cover part 40 having a first main hooking part 2a and a first main auxiliary hooking part 10 at the tip of the lower groove forming wall 50 may be provided below. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the display panel 1 may be curved in the longitudinal direction to form a rounded surface. A metal display hanger 14 having a hook element 100, which is more clearly seen in FIGS. 6 and 7, is removably hung on such a display panel 1. Here, the hook element 100 is composed of a retaining substrate 110, an upper wall holding surface section 120, and a support section 130. The retaining board 110 has a plate shape, is longer than the vertical width _l1 of the horizontally long opening 5, and has an upward open groove 6.
It has a length shorter than the groove interval _l2 of the downward open groove 7, and is set to a height (vertical length) that allows entry and exit through the horizontally long opening 5 with the upper part inclined rearward. Further, as clearly shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the removal prevention board 110 is set to have a wide width so that it cannot rotate within the upward open groove 6 and the downward open groove 7. There is. Further, the holding surface section 120 is a plate having a substantially inverted L-shaped cross section, which is bent at its tip and hangs down via an upper abutment section 115 that projects horizontally from the lower middle part of the vertically provided retaining board 110. There is. That is, the upper abutting portion 115 integrally protrudes outward from the surface of the retaining substrate 110, and is set to a length that covers the upper wall surface 41 and abuts almost immediately. , the upper abutting portion 115
Since the protruding position from the removal prevention board 110 is set at an intermediate position near the lower end, the removal prevention board 110
When it is fitted into the horizontally long opening 5 with its upper part inclined backward, it can be inserted without coming into contact with the upper and lower wall surfaces of the horizontally long opening 5. In this embodiment, cut lines C1 and C2 are formed on both sides of the midway part of the approximately T-shaped metal plate shown in FIG.
By punching and bending in two steps along the folding lines B1 and B2 connecting the upper ends of the cut lines C1 and C2, the retaining board 110 and the holding surface part 12 are formed as shown in FIG.
0 can be molded. A supporting portion 130 projecting outward is fixed to the holding surface portion 120 by welding or the like, and the hook element 10
0 is formed. The shape and configuration of the support portion 130 determines its use. This support part 130 can be configured to directly hang the displayed item as in this embodiment, or the support part 130 can be used as one arm and the support part 130 of a separate hook element 130 can be used as the other arm to connect the two arms. It may also be configured to indirectly hang display items, such as by connecting or spanning a shelf board or bar for displaying items. As shown in FIG. 3, this hook element 100 can be latched by inserting the retaining board 110 into the horizontally long opening 5 with the retaining board 110 facing approximately sideways, and by rotating the retaining board 110 clockwise in the figure. It can be fitted into the direction opening grooves 6 and 7. Due to the weight of the hook element, the retaining board 110 is attached to the peripheral wall of the groove, as shown by the dashed line in the figure.
In addition, the holding surface portion 120 can be brought into close contact with the outer wall surface 42 of the hook element retaining portion 4. Further, when removing the hook element 100, it can be pulled out by performing the reverse operation to the above-mentioned locking operation.

[Effect of the idea]

Since this invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the hook element can be easily attached and detached from the latching groove, and
The hook element does not rotate within the groove and does not require any special structure to restrict rotation. In addition, since the upper abutting portion and the outer wall surface immediately abut against the upper wall surface or outer wall surface of the hook element retaining portion, which has an angled cross section, the load on the hook element can be distributed by widening the abutting area. I can do it. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the weight and size of the display device itself, and it is also possible to securely display and hold even heavy objects, which is preferable.
