BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment in which the suspension supporting device for a movable body according to the present invention is applied to a suspension supporting device for a retractable and retractable mirror will be described with reference to FIGS. .

In FIGS. 1 and 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a mirror as a movable body, which is constructed by fixing a glass end plate 13 to a wooden support plate 14. Reference numeral 2 is a guide rail fixed to the ceiling surface for suspending and supporting the mirror 1 so as to be movable between a predetermined accommodation position and a use position. The guide rail 2 has a generally U-shaped groove with an opening facing downward,
It is made of a mold material in which a horizontal supporting rail surface 21 is formed from the lower end toward the inside and a guide surface 22 is formed at the inner edge thereof.

A traveling block 3 is movably engaged with the guide rail 2. As shown in FIG. 2, a pair of horizontal shaft rollers 31 rolling on the supporting rail surface 21 are mounted on both upper sides of the traveling block. A vertical shaft roller 32 that engages with the guide surface 22 is mounted on both sides of the lower portion. Reference numeral 33 denotes a horizontal shaft that supports the horizontal shaft roller 31, which penetrates the traveling block 3 in the horizontal direction, and the rollers 31 are fixed to both ends thereof. Reference numeral 34 denotes an opening formed horizontally in both side portions of the lower portion of the traveling block 3 for disposing the vertical axis roller 32, and 35 denotes a vertical axis thereof. A through hole 36 that penetrates vertically is formed at a central position of the traveling block 3, and a nut 6 having a loosening preventing function is non-rotatably fitted on the through hole 36. The screw hole of the nut 6 constitutes a through screw hole 6a.

Reference numeral 4 is a mounting bracket having an upper plate 7 and a hanging plate 8 and having an inverted L-shaped cross section.
4 is attached so as to contact the upper end surface 1a and the rear surface 1b of 4,
A through hole 9 is formed in the central position of the upper plate 7, and the hanging plate 8
A vertical elongated hole 10 is formed at a lower lateral position of the through hole 9. Further, on the support plate 14 of the mirror 1, as shown in FIG. 3, a long groove 11 having an open upper end is formed inside the long hole 10 of the mounting bracket 4. Reference numeral 15 is a mounting screw hole formed in the hanging plate 8 for mounting the mounting bracket 4 to the support plate 14, and 16 is a screw pilot hole formed in the support plate 14.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a mounting screw for movably supporting the mirror 1 on the traveling block 3 via the mounting bracket 4, and the head 5a for rotating the mirror 5 is located in the long groove 11 and the upper plate. 7, the through hole 9 of the mounting bracket 4 and the through hole 36 of the traveling block 3 in the state of being engaged from below.
Through, and is threadedly engaged with the nut 6. A retaining ring 12 is fitted and fixed to the tip of the mounting screw 5.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a guide rail having an L-shaped cross section disposed on the floor for movably guiding the lower end of the mirror 1. A guide groove 18 formed at the lower end of the support plate 14 is movable. Engaged.

In the suspension apparatus for suspending a mirror having the above-mentioned structure, the mirror 1 is supported by the traveling block 3 which can travel on the guide rail 2 via the mounting bracket 4 and the mounting screw 5, so that the structure shown in FIG. As indicated by an arrow, the mirror 1 can be arbitrarily moved along the guide rail 2, and for example, the mirror 1 can be pulled out from its storage position to a use position and stored in the storage position.

Further, as shown by a phantom line in FIG. 1, it is attached from a diagonally lower position with a driver 19 or the like through a long hole 10 formed in the hanging plate 8 of the mounting bracket 4 and a long groove 11 formed in the support plate 14 of the mirror 1. By rotating and adjusting the head 5a of the screw 5, the height position of the mounting bracket 4 arrangement position in the mirror 1 with respect to the traveling block 3 can be adjusted, and the mirror 1 is evenly supported by the plurality of traveling blocks 3. Alternatively, the hanging posture of the mirror 1 can be adjusted.

Further, while such adjustment is possible, only the thickness of the hanging plate 8 of the mounting bracket 4 projects on the rear surface of the mirror 1, and there is no member that largely projects from the rear surface of the mirror 1. , Just below the guide rail 2, it is sufficient to secure a space substantially corresponding to the thickness of the mirror 1, as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, the mirror 1 can be stored by merely securing a storage space corresponding to the width T at the bottom of the guide rail 2, and a large gap is not formed before and after the mirror 1. The appearance when stored is also excellent.

Further, since the through-screw hole 6a through which the mounting screw 5 is screwed and penetrated is constituted by the nut 6 having a loosening preventing function, the position can be adjusted only by rotating the screwdriver 19 as described above. There is no possibility that the screws will be loosened due to vibration or the like caused by the movement of the mirror 1 and the position will be displaced during use.

Further, since the retaining ring 12 is fitted and fixed to the tip of the mounting screw 5, the mounting screw 5 will not be excessively rotated and the mounting screw 5 will not come out from the nut 6, and the mirror will not come out. There is no possibility that 1 may come off from the traveling block 3 unexpectedly.

In the above embodiment, an example of the mirror 1 is shown as a movable body which can be moved between a use position and a storage position, but it goes without saying that it can be applied to other movable bodies such as a door. .

[0020]

The suspending and supporting device for a movable body of the present invention can be implemented as described above, and the mounting bracket is mounted so as to be in contact with the upper end surface and one side surface of the movable body.
Through the long hole formed in the hanging plate of this mounting bracket and the long groove recessed in the movable body, rotate the mounting screw with a screwdriver etc. from diagonally below to pass the mounting screw through the upper plate of the mounting bracket and move it over the guide rail. Since it is screwed into a freely movable traveling block, by adjusting the screwing amount of the mounting screw, the entire movable body can be evenly supported by multiple traveling blocks, and the hanging posture of the movable body can be adjusted. Since the hanging plate of the mounting bracket only protrudes from one side of the movable body and there is no member that greatly protrudes, it is only necessary to secure a space just below the guide rail that corresponds to the thickness of the movable body. The movable body can be moved at any position, for example, between the storage position and the use position.

Further, by forming the through-screw hole through which the mounting screw is screwed through with a nut having a loosening preventing function, the position can be adjusted by simply rotating the head of the mounting screw with a screwdriver or the like, and the movable body can be moved. It is possible to prevent the screws from being loosened due to vibrations and the like, and from being misaligned.

Further, by fitting and fixing the retaining ring on the tip of the mounting screw, the mounting screw will not be excessively rotated and the mounting screw will not come out of the through screw hole or the nut. It can be reliably prevented from falling off.
