Abstract

PURPOSE: To prevent a piece of furniture effectively from overturning, and prevent the furniture or furniture fittings from being damaged by a comperatively small motion. CONSTITUTION: A furniture fitting 1 is formed by connecting a fixing strip 2 which is fixed to a supporting structure, such as a column, with a mounting strip 3 which is fixed to a chest T by a hinge 4. The mounting strip 3 is provided with long holes 3a, 3a for screws and fixed to the chest T by passing fixing screws 7 through the long holes 3a interposing a washer 6 between the screw and the long hole. The chest T will not overturn because it is fixed to the supporting structure by the furniture fittings 1. On the other hand, the fixing screw 7 moves with a prescribed frictional resistance in the range of the long hole 3a, so that small motions of the chest T in the up and down direction are allowed and the energy is reduced. The mounting strip 3 turns within a small angle, so that small motions of the chest T in the lateral direction are allowed.

The fixing pieces 13, 13 of 11 are connected to each other by a connecting fitting 18 so that the fixing pieces 13, 13 can be extended.

[0005]

In the metal fittings 1 and 11 of the present invention, the first fixing piece 2 is fixed to the vertical surface of the supporting structure S such as a pillar at a position where furniture T such as a closet is arranged by screwing or the like, while The fixing pieces 3 and 13 of 2 and 12 are fixed to the side surface or the upper surface of the furniture T by screwing or the like. Even if the furniture T receives an external force due to an earthquake or the like, the metal fitting 1 supports the support structure S to prevent the furniture T from falling. However, if the second fixing pieces 3 and 13 are
By relatively rotating the hinges 4 and 14 with respect to the fixing pieces 2 and 12, of the furniture T, the movement of the furniture T is allowed within a predetermined small range to prevent the furniture T or the fixed portion of the metal fittings 1 and 11 from being detached or damaged. To avoid. Since the fixing pieces 13 can be extended by connecting the fixing pieces 13, 13 of the two fixing pieces 11, 11 with the connecting piece 18, for example, between the top surface of the furniture T and a supporting member such as a rim of a house.
