Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of a gas door support fitting for attaching a hinged door type glass door in a product display case or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In the past, when attaching a glass door to a product display case, etc., it was common to provide a protruding shaft from the glass door side and provide a shaft hole on the top plate or bottom plate side so that the protruding shaft fits. .

However, the present inventor has provided a hinge to be attached to the glass door side in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-130974. The hinge has a shaft hole that can be laterally fitted to the protruding shaft protruding from the top plate and bottom plate side, and the hinge part can be finely adjusted in the horizontal direction after mounting. .

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, in the case of a display case made entirely of glass, when it is attempted to provide a protruding shaft from the top plate or bottom plate, a through-hole is made in the glass plate to attach a shaft cylinder with a pedestal, and the projection shaft is screwed into the shaft cylinder portion. It is necessary to have a structure in which the glass plate is attached by sandwiching the glass plate between the flange of the protruding shaft and the pedestal.

However, when a through hole is formed in the glass plate, it becomes weak, and there is a concern that a chip or a crack may be generated from the portion. For this reason, it is necessary to provide a shaft tube part inward from the edge as much as possible, and therefore the glass door is mounted slightly inward from the edge, so the glass door and the top plate or bottom plate end. The edges were not flush with each other, and the edges of the top plate or the bottom plate were chipped, and the appearance was not preferable.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is that it is not necessary to form a through hole in the glass top plate or bottom plate, and the glass door and the edge of the top plate or bottom plate are flush with each other. It is in the area of providing a bracket for a glass door that can be attached.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a structure in which the whole is substantially U-shaped, a receiving metal fitting is provided with a protruding shaft, and the receiving metal fitting is fitted and fixed to the edge of the top plate or the bottom plate. Furthermore, the structure is such that it can be attached to both the top plate and the bottom plate and to the left and right positions with a single member.

That is, according to the present invention, the glass door can be opened and closed by being attached to the edge of the top plate or bottom plate of a product display case or the like, and the protruding shaft being fitted in the receiving hole provided in the glass door side metal fitting. The mounting bracket for the glass door to be installed has a roughly U-shaped structure as a whole that receives the edge between the upper plate and the lower plate, and a comparatively large tightening screw threaded from the outer surface to the inner surface of the lower plate. The projection shaft is screwed into the threaded portion at either one of the pair of left and right screw holes formed from the outer surface of the lower plate toward the thick portion to allow the thick portion to escape. The feature is that it is fixed by the tightening screw.

The tightening screw may be made of metal when tightened via a shock absorber, but is preferably made of plastic in view of chipping of glass and cracking.

[0010]

[Action]

 As described above, the receiving bracket for a glass door according to the present invention only needs to be formed with a notch from the end face on the top plate or bottom plate side, and there is a concern of chipping or cracking as compared with the case of forming a through hole. Absent.

Since the fastening is performed with a relatively large-diameter tightening screw, a local force is not applied to the glass surface, and in this respect as well, the concern of hanging or cracking is eliminated.

Further, since the projecting shaft is configured to be screwed into either one of the pair of left and right screw holes, it can be mounted on either the left or right or up and down by selecting the screwing position. It is not necessary to prepare a plurality of members in which the position of the protruding shaft is changed according to the position.

Since it is attached to the edge of the top plate or the bottom plate, the glass door can be attached almost flush with the edge.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings will be described. FIG. 1 shows an example of a mounting structure using a receiving metal fitting according to the present invention, wherein 1 is a receiving metal fitting according to the present invention, 2 is a hinge member attached to a glass door 3, and 4 is a product display case.

The receiving bracket 1 is generally U-shaped, and is adapted to receive the edge 8 of the top plate 7 of the product display case 4 between the upper plate 5 and the lower plate 6. Reference numeral 9 denotes a relatively large-diameter plastic tightening screw threaded from the outer surface to the inner surface of the lower plate 6, and 10 denotes the left and right sides formed from the outer surface of the lower plate toward the thick portion 11 (see FIG. 2). It is a pair of screw holes, and the projecting shaft 12 can be screwed into any one of the screw holes in the threaded portion 13. The edge portion 8 of the product display case 4 is formed with a notch 14 that allows the thick portion 11 to escape, and the thick portion 11 is located in the notch 14 to form the upper plate 5 of the receiving metal fitting 1. The edge portions 8 are received between the lower plates 6 and fixed by tightening the tightening screws 9. Reference numeral 15 indicates a cushioning material attached to the inner surfaces of the upper plate and the lower plate.

The hinge member 2 attached to the glass door 3 sandwiches the glass door with a pair of contact plates 16, and a receiving member 18 that can be finely adjusted left and right in a recess 17 of the contact plate 16, and the receiving member 18. It has a shaft hole 20 formed by a plug member 19 screwed to the member 18, and has a structure for receiving the protruding shaft 12 in the shaft hole 20. The details of the hinge member 2 are as shown in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-130974.

Of course, the hinge member having the shaft hole for receiving the protruding shaft 12 of the receiving metal fitting 1 which is the subject of the present invention is not limited to the above example, and for example, the edge portion of the glass door is cut out, Various hinge members, such as a metal fitting attached to the cutout portion and having a through hole, may be used.

[0018]

[Effect of device]

 The metal fitting of the present invention is as described above, and it is sufficient to simply form a notch on the top plate or bottom plate of a product display case made of glass or the like to prevent the occurrence of chipping or cracking. Also, since the tightening screw used has a relatively large diameter, the structure is such that no local force is applied to the glass surface.

By attaching the protruding shaft to either the left or right screw hole, it can be used on either the left or right of the top plate or the left or right of the bottom plate, and it is not necessary to prepare a plurality of members depending on the attachment position.

Further, since it can be attached to the edge portions of the top plate or the bottom plate, the glass door can be attached almost flush with the edge portions, and thus it has been possible to provide a receiving metal fitting with extremely high practicality. .
