Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a mounting post for mounting a shelf board, wall panel, etc., provided with a bracket.

[Prior Art] As a mounting post used for displaying various products in conventional department stores, specialty retail stores, etc., there is one described, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 198943/1983. This mounting support is formed by drilling a plurality of holes around a rectangular hollow tube material for mounting and supporting brackets for supporting shelf boards. Furthermore, conventionally, there is a mounting support made of a round hollow tube, as shown in FIG.
This mounting support 10 is angled around the intermediate tube 11.
Holes 12 are drilled at 45 degree intervals, and each hole 12
is a panel 13 used for exhibitions or partitions, etc.
A bracket 14 attached to the side of the frame can be attached and supported.

As a result, the panels 13 can be connected to each other so that the surface portions of each panel 13 are in a straight line or intersect with each other.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] When multiple holes are drilled around the support in each mounting support made of hollow tube material as described above, the cross-sectional strength of the support at the location (in the longitudinal direction of the support) is reduced. There is a problem that the strength in the cross direction is significantly reduced. Especially when the diameter of the support is extremely small (for example, Φ60
If a large number (six or more) of holes are drilled in the support column (up to 3 mm), the cross-sectional strength decreases, causing the support to bend. If such a bend occurs in the support column, a problem arises in that the mounting accuracy of the bracket decreases.

The present invention aims to improve the usability of the mounting support by forming holes for mounting brackets that can support shelves, panels, etc. at multiple positions around the support.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mounting post which is hollow inside and has six or more holes for brackets drilled at predetermined intervals around the periphery. Inner ribs are formed on the inner side between each hole, and outer ribs are formed on the outer side.

[Function] According to the present invention, a plurality of holes (six or more) exist at predetermined intervals around the periphery, and each hole has a shelf board, a
Since brackets that can support panels and the like can be attached, the manner in which these brackets are attached can be diversified, and the usability of the mounting support can be improved. At this time, an inner rib is formed on the inside between each hole drilled in the column, and an outer rib is formed on the outer side, so the cross-sectional strength of the mounting column is increased by drilling multiple holes. This makes it possible to compensate for the decrease in the support column and prevent the column from bending. This improves the mounting accuracy of the bracket, and makes it possible to form a plurality of holes even in a mounting column with a small diameter.

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

As shown in the figure, three engaging pieces 38 are provided, and each engaging piece 38 is inserted into and attached to the three upper and lower holes 23 at the lower end of the column 21 exposed between the column covers 29.

In this way, each bracket 34 is connected to the bottom of the corresponding mounting column 21, and around the mounting column 21, the leg members 32 and each connecting member 33 are connected to the column 21 at an angle of 90 degrees. (See Figure 5). At this time, the ends of the leg members 32 and the connecting members 33 formed of square tube materials are connected to each outer rib 24.
This prevents the leg member 32 and the connecting member 33 from swinging in the direction of arrow B with respect to the support column 21. Furthermore, a circular leg 39 whose height is adjustable is supported at the other end of the leg member 32 relative to the mounting position of the bracket 34 .

When each engagement piece 38 of the bracket 34 is inserted into the corresponding hole 23 and attached, a circular support plate 40 is attached to the bottom of the mounting column 21 (see FIG. 6). The circular support plate 40 supports the lower ends of the leg members 32 and the connecting members 33 from below, and allows the engaging pieces 38 to engage with the holes 23. The support plate 40 is provided with a female screw 41 at the center, and a seat portion 43 whose height is freely adjustable is attached to the female screw 41. The support plate 40 is attached to the bottom of the column body 22 by attachment screws 42. That is, the threaded portion of the mounting screw 42 is screwed into the round hole 28 of the second inner rib 27,
A support plate 40 is attached to the strut body 22. When the support plate 40 is attached to the bottom of the column main body 22,
A seat 43 is attached to the lower surface of the support plate 40.

In this way, the frame 20 of the product display device includes a seat 43 and a leg 3 attached to the bottom of each mounting column 21.
