Description

【０００１】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、家具等の木製の引戸等を、搬送時等に仮止めする引戸仮止具に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来の搬送時用の引戸仮止具としては、実公昭５４−２１２３４号公報に開示されているように、ガラス引戸のような「引戸の厚みの薄く」、また、「引戸の厚み（特に家具の上部レールに納まる引戸の上縁部の厚みも含む）が全体として一定の厚み」となっている引戸のための引戸仮止具がある。
【０００３】
この引戸仮止具は、図６の斜視図に示すように、屈曲自在な帯状長尺体１の一端部に引っ張り用つまみ６を有する第１の部材Ａと、上端部に水平方向に延びるくさび部２を有する略アングル状の第２部材Ｂとからなり、これら両部材Ａ、Ｂは塩化ビニール等の合成樹脂材料によって形成されている。
【０００４】
第１の部材Ａの帯状長尺体１は、その一側面で長さ方向に適当な間隔をへだてて複数のラチエット歯４を有し、且つ先端部一側面には一式からなる上方に延びるストッパー７を備え、このストッパー７の上端部には前記帯状長尺体１と平行に前記つまみ６の方向に延びるくさび８を備えている。更に前記帯状長尺体１のつまみ６側の一端部分は適当な長さにわたって細くなっていて挿入部９に形成されている。
【０００５】
一方、前記第２部材Ｂは前記帯状長尺体１を抱合するＣ型チャンネル溝５を有し、該チャンネル溝５の底面には前記ラチエット歯４と噛み合うラチエット歯１０が形成されている。尚、前記Ｃ型チャンネル溝５の開口部１１の幅は前記帯状長尺体１の細くなった挿入部９の幅寸法に略等しいか又はそれ以上に設定されている。
【０００６】
上記の如く構成された引戸仮止具を使用する時は、左右のガラス引戸の合わせ目にセットして使用され、第６図（Ａ）、（Ｂ）で示すように、先ず第１部材Ａのくさび８を左側のガラス引戸１２の上端と上部レール１３の奥側のレールとの間に挿入して、第１部材Ａのストッパー７が左側のガラス引戸１２の端面に当接するまで押し込む。この場合、帯状長尺体１が左側のガラス引戸１２の前面側に位置するように設定しておく。そして、第２の部材Ｂのくさび部２を右側の引戸１４の上端部で上部レール１３の手前側のレールとの間隙に挿入して定着させる。
【０００７】
そのあと第１部材Ａの帯状長尺体１の遊端部を折り返してこれの挿入部９を第２部材ＢのＣ型チャンネル溝５の開口部１１から挿入し、つまみ６を図６中では右方に強く引っ張る。この場合相互に接触するラチエット歯４と１０は、前記右方への引っ張り方向に対しては、噛み合わないで帯状長尺体１を摺動させることができ、反対方向即ち図中左方向への移動に対しては各ラチエット歯が噛み合って帯状長尺体１の左方向への移動が阻止されるように方向性が設定されている。
【０００８】
したがって、つまみ６によって帯状長尺体１を右方向に強く引っ張ることにより、引戸１２、１４の左右の移動は前記第１及び第２部材Ａ、Ｂによって完全にロックされ、且つ引戸１２、１４は上端部に挿入されたくさび部２、８によって引戸１２、１４と上部レール１３のギャップは埋められて上下のガタツキがなくなり、これによりガラス引戸１２、１４を確実に仮止めすることができる。
【０００９】
なお、ロックを解除する時は、帯状長尺体１をＣ型チャンネル溝５の開口部から強制的に前面に引っ張って取り外すことにより、両部材Ａ、Ｂの結合を解くことができる。
【００１０】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このように、ガラス引戸のように厚みの薄い引戸用に限っては、家具搬送中に引戸の左右の動きと上下のガダツキを同時に止めることができて、従来（この「従来の技術」の項目で示した引戸仮止具が考案される以前）必要としていた上下ガタツキ防止用のスポンジ等の緩衝材を使用することが省略でき、これにより作業性が向上すると共に、構造が簡単で合成樹脂により一体成形が可能であるから非常に安価にできる引戸仮止具が考案されていた。
【００１１】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、厚みの厚い引戸の仮止めについては、上述の引戸仮止具は用いることができないので、左右の引戸の重なり合う部分にスポンジ等の緩衝材を装着して、運送中の引戸のガタツキや離脱を防止するという旧態の手段が依然としてとられていた。
【００１２】
したがって、本発明の目的は、厚みの厚い引戸であっても、従来考案された「厚みの薄い引戸のための引戸仮止具」の様に、家具搬送中に引戸の左右の動きと上下のガダツキを同時に止めることが出来て、上下ガタツキ防止用のスポンジ等の緩衝材を使用することが省略でき、これにより作業性が向上すると共に、構造が簡単で合成樹脂により一体成形が可能で、非常に安価にできる引戸仮止具を提供することにある。
さらに、本発明は、厚みの厚い引戸付き家具においては、「引戸が３枚組以上の場合」があり、このような場合にも上記と同様に対応可能な引戸仮止具を提供することを目的とする。
【００１３】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために、本発明に係る引戸仮止具は、次の様になっている。
つまり、後側引戸の内側角部を保持する雄止具と、前側引戸の内側角部を保持する雌止具とからなり、両止具を係合させることで両引戸を閉じた状態で仮止めする引戸仮止具において、前記雄止具は、後側引戸の内側角部を保持する雄側ストッパー部と、この雄側ストッパー部の略中央から延設される屈曲自在な長尺体と、前記雄側ストッパー部の上端に前記長尺体と略平行して連設された雄側くさび体と、前記長尺体の表裏両面または表裏のいずれか一方に設けられた雄側ラチェット歯とを有している。
【００１４】
一方、前記雌止具は、前側引戸の内側角部を保持する雌側ストッパー部と、この雌側ストッパー部から略直交する方向に延設され、両引戸の間に挿入される挿入部と、前記雌側ストッパー部の上下両端部または上下のいずれか一端部から、屈曲自在な連結部を介して延設された雌側くさび体と、前記雌側ストッパー部の表面側に設けられ、前記長尺体を保持するチャンネル溝と、このチャンネル溝の底部に形成された雌側ラチェット歯とを有している。
【００１５】
この様な雄止具と雌止具とを使って、雄側ストッパー部で奥側引戸の内側角部を保持するとともに、雄側くさび体を後側引戸と後側引戸の上側に位置する家具構成部との間に圧入した雄止具の長尺体を、雌側ストッパー部で前側引戸の内側角部を保持するとともに、一方の雌側くさび体を前側引戸と前側引戸の上側に位置する家具構成部との間に圧入した雌止具のチャンネル溝に保持させ、両ラチェット歯を噛み合わせることにより、両止具を係合させる。
【００１６】
この際、前記雄側くさび体、又は、前記雌側くさび体のうち、どれか又は全てのくさび体の外面にラチエット歯が形成されている方が好ましい。
【００１７】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の引戸仮止具の一つの実施の形態について図１〜図３を参照しつつ説明する。
図１（Ａ）は本発明の雄止具の一つの実施の形態を示す斜視図であり、図１（Ｂ）は本発明の雌止具の一つの実施の形態を示す斜視図であり、図２（Ａ）は前記実施の形態における雄止具の裏面図であり、図２（Ｂ）はその底面図であり、図３（Ａ）は前記実施の形態における雌止具の正面図であり、図３（Ｂ）はその底面図であり、図３（Ｃ）はそのＩ−Ｉ線断面図である。
【００１８】
まず、本発明の引戸仮止具は、屈曲自在な帯状の長尺体１１０の一端部に引っ張り用のつまみ１２０を有する雄止具１００と、それと係合可能な構造をもった雌止具２００とからなる。
【００１９】
その雄止具１００は、長尺体１１０の表裏両面に、長さ方向に適当な間隔を隔てて複数の雄側ラチエット歯１３０、１３１を有し、且つ、つまみ１２０と反対の他端部に前記長尺体１１０と直交する方向に左右対称に形成された雄側ストッパー部１４０、１４１を有し、その雄側ストッパー部１４０、１４１の上端部には、前記長尺体１１０と隙間を設けつつ平行してつまみ１２０の方向に延びる雄側くさび体１５０が連設されている。
【００２０】
また、雄止具１００の雄側くさび体１５０の上面にはラチエット歯１６０が設けられている。尚、ラチエット歯１６０が形成されている雄側くさび体１５０の上面は、図２に示す様に長尺体１００の先端側に向かって下り傾斜となるよう形成されている。したがって、ラチエット歯１６０も長尺体１００の先端側に向かって下り傾斜面に形成されている。また、雄側ストッパー部１４０、１４１の背部には、肉盗み１８０、１８１がそれぞれ設けられている。
【００２１】
また、長尺体１１０の先端側には、基端側より細くなった挿入部１７０が形成されている。この挿入部１７０の幅は、後述の略Ｃ型のチャンネル溝２１０の最も狭くなっている開口部２１１の幅と略等しいか又はそれ以下に設定されている。また、つまみ１２０は、略円柱形で、その上下はそれぞれドーム状の凸部となっている。
【００２２】
一方、雌止具２００は、図３（Ｃ）の様な略Ｌ字型のベース部２０１と、その外面の一面に設けられたチャンネル溝２１０と、そのチャンネル溝２１０の両側には、前記ベース部２０１に屈曲自在な連結部２５０、２５１を介して連なった雌側くさび体２６０、２６１とを有する。
チャンネル溝２１０は、前記長尺体１１０を抱合するために略Ｃ型をしており、その底面には前記雄側ラチエット歯１３０、１３１のどちらか一方と噛み合う雌側ラチエット歯２２０が設けられている。
【００２３】
ベース部２０１のチャンネル溝２１０と反対側の面は、雌側ストッパー部２３０となっている。また、雌側ストッパー部２３０と直交する部分、挿入部２３５となっている。その挿入部２３５の外面は、長尺体１１０の厚みよりも少なくとも深い凹み部２４０を形成し、その凹み部２４０の深さはチャンネル溝２１０側で最も深く、その反対側に向かうに従って段々浅くなるように設定してある。
【００２４】
また、雌止具２００の雌側くさび体２６０、２６１の外面にはラチエット歯２７０、２７１がそれぞれ形成されている。尚、ラチエット歯２７０、２７１が形成されたそれぞれの雌側くさび体２６０、２６１の上面は図３（Ｂ）に示す様に端部に向かって下り傾斜となるよう形成されている。したがって、ラチエット歯２７０、２７１も端部に向かって下り傾斜面に形成されている。また、肉盗み２８０、２８１が、雌側くさび体２６０、２６１の背部にそれぞれ設けてある。
【００２５】
また、略Ｃ型のチャンネル溝２１０の開口面には切り込み部２１２、２１３が設けられている。この切り込み部２１２、２１３は、この開口面に設けられた略Ｃ型のチャンネル溝２１０のひさし状の凸部を、チャンネル溝２１０の溝方向に半分ずつ切り込んで形成されている。その切り込みは、図３（Ａ）に示す様に、切り込み部２１２の対向側は切り込まない様にする。したがって、切り込み部２１３の対向側も切り込まない様にする。つまり、互い違いになっている。また、図３（Ａ）、（Ｃ）に示す様に、切り込みされなかったひさし部２１６、２１７のそれぞれの内側面には傾斜部２１４、２１５が設けられている。
【００２６】
以上の構造からなる引戸仮止具は、合成樹脂製である。
【００２７】
このように構成された本発明の引戸仮止具の使用方法を、図４、５を参照しながら説明する。
なお、図４（Ａ）は前記雄止具と前記雌止具を家具の引戸に設置する状況を示す断面図で、前側引戸の右上奥側の角に雌止具を設置し、後側引戸の左上前側の角に雄止具を設置した場合を示し、その断面位置は前側引戸に設置された雌止具を右側より見た時〔図４（Ｂ）のＩＩＩ−ＩＩＩ線断面図に相当〕のもので、図４（Ｂ）は図４（Ａ）のＩＩ−ＩＩ線断面図であり、図５は本発明の引戸仮止具を３枚引戸に使用する場合において、図４の箇所の図外にくるもう１ヵ所の引戸仮止具の係合状態を示す斜視図で、引戸上部と引戸仮止具のみについてその係合状態を示す斜視図である。
【００２８】
この図４において、家具の部分は、天板６００と、その下に設けられた上側レール用板５００と、その上側レール用板５００に設けられた前側レール溝５１０と後側レール溝５１１と、その２つのレール溝５１０、５１１によって支えられる前側引戸３００と後側引戸４００と、この２つの引戸のそれぞれ背面上部に設けられた凸部であって前記レール溝５１０、５１１に嵌まり込む部分３１０、４１０とから構成されている。また、７００は前側引戸３００と後側引戸４００との間の隙間（以下「前後隙間」と略す）であって、７１０は各引戸の上面と上側レール用板５００の最下端との間の隙間（以下「上部隙間」と略す）である。
【００２９】
家具に引戸仮止具をセットする前の状態は、２つの引戸３００、４００が前側レール溝５１０と後側レール溝５１１とによってそれぞれ支えられ、引戸が閉められた状態、つまり前側引戸３００は図４（Ａ）の奥側の図示されていない家具の左側板内面まで移動させ、一方、後側引戸４００は図４（Ａ）の手前側の図示されていない家具の右側板内面まで移動させている状態である。
【００３０】
まず、前側引戸３００を開ける。つまり後側引戸４００の前に重なる位置まで持ってくる。この状態で後側引戸４００の左上前側の角４２０に雄止具１００をセットする。すなわち、雄止具１００の雄側ストッパー部１４０が左上前側の角４２０に当接するまで長尺体１１０を前後隙間７００に対して圧入する。これにより、雄止具１００は上下隙間７１０に雄側くさび体１５０とその上に設けられたラチエット歯１６０によってしっかり固定されていると共に、後側引戸４００を上下方向に固定している。
【００３１】
次に、前側引戸３００を閉める。つまり図４（Ａ）の奥側の図示されていない家具の左側板内面まで移動させるのだが、そうすると、既にセット済みの雄止具１００の長尺体１１０とその先端部のつまみ１２０が前側引戸３００の背面右手に現れる。この状態で前側引戸３００の右上奥側の角３２０に雌止具２００をセットする。すなわち、雄止具１００のつまみ１２０を右手に持って図４（Ａ）の手前側に引っ張る。そうしながら、左手で雌止具２００の雌側くさび体２６１をその連結部２５１において内側にほぼ９０度折り曲げ〔図１（Ｂ）における、矢印Ｂの方向へ曲げた状態〕、その雌側くさび体２６１を上部隙間７１０にストッパー部の一面２３１が前側引戸３００の右側面に当接するまで圧入する。それとと同時に、長尺体１１０を雌止具２００の凹み部２４０に嵌入することで行う。
これにより、雌止具２００は上部隙間７１０に雌側くさび体２６１とその上に設けられた雌側ラチエット歯２７１によってしっかり固定されていると共に、前側引戸３００を上下方向に固定している。
【００３２】
尚、ラチエット歯１６０、２７０、２７１は引戸の上下方向の製造誤差、つまり上下隙間の誤差が多少あっても上下固定がしっかりできるようにするため、および、家具搬送中の振動で各くさび体１６０、２６０、２６１が抜けにくくするように働く。
【００３３】
次に、雄止具１００の先端部のつまみ１２０をつまみながら、長尺体１１０の細くなった挿入部１７０を、略Ｃ型のチャンネル溝２１０の最も狭くなっている開口部２１１から、略Ｃ型のチャンネル溝２１０に挿入し、つまみ１２０を図４（Ａ）において左方向に強く引っ張る。つまり、引戸の前に立っている人からすると引っぱり操作のし易い手前側に、つまみ１２０を強く引っ張ることになる。
この場合相互に接触する雄側ラチエット歯１３１と雌側ラチエット歯２２０とは、前記引っ張り方向に対しては、噛み合わないで長尺体１１０を摺動させることができ、反対方向即ち図中右方向への移動に対しては各ラチエット歯１３１、２２０が噛み合って長尺体１１０の右方向への移動が阻止されるように方向性が設定されている。
【００３４】
したがって、つまみ１２０によって長尺体１１０を図４（Ａ）において左方向に強く引っ張ることにより、前側引戸３００と後側引戸４００との左右の移動は雄止具１００と雌止具２００とによって完全にロックされ、且つ前側引戸３００は雌側くさび体２６１とその上に設けられたラチエット歯２７１によって上下固定され、かつ後側引戸４００も雄側くさび１５０とその上に設けられたラチエット歯１６０によって上下固定されている。よって、前側引戸３００も後側引戸４００も、上下左右のガタツキがなく確実に仮止めすることができる。
【００３５】
なお、仮止めを解除する時は、長尺体１１０を略Ｃ型のチャンネル溝２１０の開口部から強制的に前面に引っ張って取り外すことにより、雄止具１００と雌止具２００の結合を解くことができる。また、カッター等の刃物で長尺体１１０を切ることにより、雄止具１００と雌止具２００の結合を解くこともできる。
【００３６】
上述では、引戸の上部の凸部が引戸の後面側にある場合について、説明してきたが、逆に引戸の前面側に凸部がある場合もある。この場合は、上述のように引戸が配置されたままでは、雄止具１００を後側引戸４００に設置できない。
そこでこの場合は、２つの引戸をそれぞれ前後逆にしてレールに嵌め込むことにより、全ての配置が上述の図４に相当する配置となるので、本発明の引戸仮止具は使用可能となる。
【００３７】
また、３枚引戸の場合は、例えば図４（Ｂ）の状態と左右対称の状況が、図４（Ｂ）の左側において図５の様に発生する。しかし、本発明の雄止具１００と雌止具２００もほぼ左右対称に作ってある（基本的に左右対称でないのは雌止具２００の略Ｃ型のチャンネル溝２１０のみであり、この略Ｃ型のチャンネル溝２１０も構造的に左右対称であるのと同様の機能を持つ）ので、雄止具１００と雌止具２００とを左右対称に使用することにより、上述と同様に引戸の固定ができる。つまり、雄止具１００は、雄側ストッパー部１４０側をストッパーとして使用し、長尺体１１０は図１（Ａ）の矢印Ａの方向に曲げる。また、雌止具２００は、雌側くさび体２６０を図５の矢印Ｃの方向に曲げる。ただし、この例の場合は、まん中の引戸を最初に２個の雄止具１００を使って上下固定してから、左右の引戸にそれぞれ雌止具２００を１個ずつ、つまり２組の引戸仮止具を使うことになる。
【００３８】
同様に４枚以上の引戸も本発明の引戸仮止具（雄止具１００と雌止具２００）を使用することによって固定できる。
【００３９】
ところで、上述の構造において、雄止具１００の雄側くさび体１５０や、雌止具２００の２つの雌側くさび体２６０、２６１には、確実な仮止めが可能であるならば、ラチエット歯１６０、ラチエット歯２７０、２７１を設けなくてもよい。また、長尺体１１０の両面に設けられた雄側ラチエット歯１３０、１３１については、引戸仮止具の右用左用を別々に作る場合は、ラチエット歯の片面設置でもよい。また、雌止具２００の雌側くさび体２６０、２６１についても、引戸仮止具の右用左用を別々に作る場合は、雌側くさび体２６０、２６１はどちらか１つだけでもよい。
【００４０】
また、雄止具と雌止具の結合をさらに強くしたい場合やその結合力を変更したい場合は、略Ｃ型のチャンネル溝２１０の切り込み部２１２、２１３は、以下の▲１▼▲２▼▲３▼▲４▼の様にしてもよい。
▲１▼切り込み長さが半分ずつでなくて、例えば、１つの切り込み長さをチャンネル溝長さの１／３にし、もう一方をチャンネル溝長さの２／３としてもよい。
▲２▼切り込み長さを短くしてもよい。例えば、１つの切り込み長さをチャンネル溝長さの１／３にし、もう一方をチャンネル溝長さの１／４としてもよい。
▲３▼切り込み部２１２、２１３のどちらか１方の切り込み部を設けなくてもよい。
▲４▼切り込み部２１２、２１３を設けなくてもよい。
【００４１】
また、雄止具と雌止具の結合をさらに強くしたい場合やその結合力を変更したい場合の別の実効手段としては、略Ｃ型のチャンネル溝２１０のひさし部２１６、２１７の出っ張り長さを調整してもよい。ただし、この際は、チャンネル溝２１０の最も狭くなっている開口部２１１の幅が変更されるので、雄止具１００の挿入部の幅も、その変更後の幅と略等しいか又はそれ以下に設定する。
【００４２】
また、雄止具と雌止具の結合をさらに強くしたい場合やその結合力を変更したい場合の更に別の実効手段としては、略Ｃ型のチャンネル溝２１０のひさし部２１６、２１７ののそれぞれの内側面に設けられた傾斜部２１４、２１５の傾斜角を調整してもよい。極端な場合、傾斜部２１４、２１５は設けなくてもよい。
【００４３】
また、挿入部２３５の凹み部２４０は略Ｌ字状の切り込みであってもよい。また、凹み部２４０とそこに嵌合される長尺体１１０の形状が全く同じであって（もし、引戸を閉めた状態でその引戸の重なり面の幅が長い家具に対しても共通引戸仮止具を使う場合は、雄側ラチエット歯１３０、１３１の部分が凹み部２４０の部分まで来ることが起きるが、そうはならない場合であって）、長尺体１１０の雄側ラチエット歯が片面設置であるならば、長尺体１１０をつまみ１２０で引っ張っても雄側くさび体１５０に偏った力が加わるという好ましくない状況にならないので、雄側くさび体１５０と長尺体１１０の隙間は、設けなくてもよい。
【００４４】
また、長尺体１１０が引っ張れるのであれば、つまみ１２０は設けなくてもよい。この場合は、凹み部２４０の代わりに長尺体１１０とその両側の雄側ラチエット歯１３０、１３１が通過可能な穴を、挿入部２３５に設けてもよい。
【００４５】
また、雄止具１００、雌止具２００は形状を対称にしなくてもよい。これによって、たとえば、雄側ストッパー部１４０、１４１の幅をそれぞれ異なる様にすれば、引戸の前後隙間が異なる２種類の家具に対しても、１種類の引戸仮止具で対応可能となる。また、雄側ラチエット歯１３０、１３１のそれぞれの位置を表裏で水平方向にずらした設定としてもよい。
【００４６】
また、引戸仮止具の材料としては、合成樹脂以外であってもよい。ただしこの場合は、家具と引戸仮止具が接触する引戸仮止具の部分の硬度が家具にキズを付けない程度の硬度であって、且つ長尺体１１０と連結部２５０、２５１の部分が少なくとも可撓性を持つように構成でき、できれば安価な材料であれば何でもよい。
【００４７】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明の引戸仮止具は、後側引戸の内側角部を保持する雄止具と、前側引戸の内側角部を保持する雌止具とからなり、両止具を係合させることで両引戸を閉じた状態で仮止めする引戸仮止具において、前記雄止具は、後側引戸の内側角部を保持する雄側ストッパー部と、この雄側ストッパー部の略中央から延設される屈曲自在な長尺体と、前記雄側ストッパー部の上端に前記長尺体と略平行して連設された雄側くさび体と、前記長尺体の表裏両面または表裏のいずれか一方に設けられた雄側ラチェット歯とを有している。
【００４８】
一方、前記雌止具は、前側引戸の内側角部を保持する雌側ストッパー部と、この雌側ストッパー部から略直交する方向に延設され、両引戸の間に挿入される挿入部と、前記雌側ストッパー部の上下両端部または上下のいずれか一端部から、屈曲自在な連結部を介して延設された雌側くさび体と、前記雌側ストッパー部の表面側に設けられ、前記長尺体を保持するチャンネル溝と、このチャンネル溝の底部に形成された雌側ラチェット歯とを有している。
【００４９】
この様な雄止具と雌止具とを使って、雄側ストッパー部で奥側引戸の内側角部を保持するとともに、雄側くさび体を後側引戸と後側引戸の上側に位置する家具構成部との間に圧入した雄止具の長尺体を、雌側ストッパー部で前側引戸の内側角部を保持するとともに、一方の雌側くさび体を前側引戸と前側引戸の上側に位置する家具構成部との間に圧入した雌止具のチャンネル溝に保持させ、両ラチェット歯を噛み合わせることにより、両止具を係合させることができる様になっている。
【００５０】
したがって、本発明の引戸仮止具（雄止具と雌止具）は、引戸の上部隙間を引戸仮止具のくさびによって上下固定すると共に、雄止具と雌止具相互間を長尺体とラチエット歯とチャンネル溝とによって固定することにより、引戸の左右ロックもできる。これにより、「厚みの厚い引戸」であっても、家具搬送中に引戸の左右の動きと上下のガダツキを同時に止めることが出来て、上下ガタツキ防止用のスポンジ等の緩衝材を使用することが省略でき、これにより作業性が向上すると共に、構造が簡単で合成樹脂等により一体成形が可能で、非常に安価にできる引戸仮止具を提供できる。
また、引戸仮止具の設置方法も、従来技術で説明したものと同様に簡単である。
【００５１】
また、雄止具と雌止具の両方とも形状上においてほぼ対称で且つ機能的に対称となっているので、引戸に引戸仮止具を設置するに当たって、前引戸と後引戸の重なり部の隙間が右であっても、左であっても１種類の引戸仮止具で引戸仮止具の方向性を気にせずに設置できる。
さらに、「引戸が３枚組以上の場合」にも上記と同様に対応可能であると言う大きな特長を持った引戸仮止具を提供できる。
また、引戸仮止具は形状を対称に作らなくてもよいので、その場合は家具毎の仕様の違いに対して、準備する引戸仮止具の種類を減らすことができる。

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a sliding door temporary stopper for temporarily fixing a wooden sliding door such as furniture during transportation.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a conventional sliding door temporary stopper for conveyance, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 54-21234, “thin sliding door thickness is thin” such as a glass sliding door, and “sliding door thickness (especially furniture) There is a sliding door temporary fastener for a sliding door whose thickness is constant as a whole).
[0003]
As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 6, the sliding door temporary fastener includes a first member A having a pulling knob 6 at one end of a bendable strip-like long body 1, and a wedge extending horizontally at the upper end. It consists of the substantially angle-shaped 2nd member B which has the part 2, and these both members A and B are formed of synthetic resin materials, such as a vinyl chloride.
[0004]
The strip-shaped elongated body 1 of the first member A has a plurality of latitudinal teeth 4 with an appropriate interval in the length direction on one side surface thereof, and a stopper extending upward from a set on one side surface of the tip portion. 7, and a wedge 8 extending in the direction of the knob 6 in parallel with the strip-shaped elongated body 1 is provided at the upper end of the stopper 7. Further, one end portion of the strip-shaped elongated body 1 on the side of the knob 6 is thinned over an appropriate length and is formed in the insertion portion 9.
[0005]
On the other hand, the second member B has a C-shaped channel groove 5 for merging the strip-shaped elongated body 1, and a latte tooth 10 that meshes with the latitud tooth 4 is formed on the bottom surface of the channel groove 5. The width of the opening 11 of the C-shaped channel groove 5 is set to be approximately equal to or greater than the width of the narrow insertion portion 9 of the strip-shaped elongated body 1.
[0006]
When using the sliding door temporary stopper constructed as described above, it is used by setting it to the joint of the left and right glass sliding doors. As shown in FIGS. 6 (A) and 6 (B), the first member A is first used. The wedge 8 is inserted between the upper end of the left glass sliding door 12 and the rear rail of the upper rail 13 and is pushed in until the stopper 7 of the first member A comes into contact with the end surface of the left glass sliding door 12. In this case, it is set so that the strip-shaped elongated body 1 is positioned on the front side of the left glass sliding door 12. Then, the wedge part 2 of the second member B is inserted into the gap between the upper end of the right sliding door 14 and the rail on the near side of the upper rail 13 and fixed.
[0007]
Thereafter, the free end portion of the strip-shaped elongated body 1 of the first member A is folded back and the insertion portion 9 is inserted from the opening 11 of the C-shaped channel groove 5 of the second member B. The knob 6 is shown in FIG. Pull strongly to the right. In this case, the ratchet teeth 4 and 10 which are in contact with each other can slide the belt-like elongated body 1 without meshing with respect to the pulling direction to the right, and in the opposite direction, that is, in the left direction in the figure. The directionality is set so that the ratchet teeth mesh with each other to prevent the strip-shaped long body 1 from moving leftward.
[0008]
Therefore, by pulling the strip-shaped elongated body 1 strongly in the right direction with the knob 6, the left and right movements of the sliding doors 12 and 14 are completely locked by the first and second members A and B, and the sliding doors 12 and 14 The gaps between the sliding doors 12 and 14 and the upper rail 13 are filled by the wedge portions 2 and 8 inserted into the upper end portion, so that there is no backlash in the upper and lower sides, so that the glass sliding doors 12 and 14 can be temporarily fixed securely.
[0009]
When releasing the lock, the belt-like elongated body 1 can be forcibly pulled from the opening of the C-shaped channel groove 5 to the front surface and removed, whereby the coupling between the members A and B can be released.
[0010]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Thus, for thin sliding doors such as glass sliding doors, it is possible to simultaneously stop the left and right movements of the sliding doors and the upper and lower rattling during furniture transport. The use of cushioning materials such as sponge for preventing vertical rattling that was necessary) can be omitted. This improves workability and simplifies the structure with synthetic resin. A sliding door temporary fastener that has been devised because it can be integrally molded.
[0011]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, since the above-mentioned sliding door temporary fasteners cannot be used for temporary locking of thick sliding doors, a cushioning material such as a sponge is attached to the overlapping part of the left and right sliding doors, and the sliding door is loose or detached during transportation. The old-fashioned measures to prevent this were still taken.
[0012]
Therefore, even if the sliding door is thick, the purpose of the present invention is to move the sliding door to the left and right and move up and down during furniture transport, as in the case of the conventionally devised “sliding door temporary fastener for thin sliding door”. It is possible to stop rattling at the same time, and it is possible to omit the use of cushioning materials such as sponge for preventing upper and lower rattling, which improves workability and simplifies the structure and enables integral molding with synthetic resin. Another object of the present invention is to provide a sliding door temporary fastener that can be made inexpensively.
Furthermore, the present invention provides a sliding door temporary fastener that can be used in the same manner as described above in a case where the thickness of the furniture with a sliding door is “a case where the number of sliding doors is three or more”. Objective.

[0026]
The sliding door temporary fastener having the above structure is made of synthetic resin.
[0027]
A method of using the sliding door temporary stopper of the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.
4A is a cross-sectional view showing a situation in which the male fastener and the female fastener are installed in a furniture sliding door. A female stopper is installed at the upper right corner of the front sliding door, and the rear sliding door is installed. Shows the case where a male fastener is installed at the upper left front corner of the case, and its cross-sectional position is equivalent to the sectional view taken along the line III-III in FIG. 4 (B) when the female fastener installed on the front sliding door is viewed from the right side. 4B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II of FIG. 4A, and FIG. 5 shows the location of FIG. 4 when the sliding door temporary fastener of the present invention is used for three sliding doors It is a perspective view which shows the engagement state of the other sliding door temporary fixing tool which comes out of the figure of this figure, and is a perspective view which shows the engagement state only about a sliding door upper part and a sliding door temporary fixing tool.
[0028]
In FIG. 4, the furniture portion includes a top plate 600, an upper rail plate 500 provided thereunder, a front rail groove 510 and a rear rail groove 511 provided in the upper rail plate 500, The front sliding door 300 and the rear sliding door 400 supported by the two rail grooves 510 and 511, and the projection 310 provided on the upper back of each of the two sliding doors, and a portion 310 that fits into the rail grooves 510 and 511. , 410. Reference numeral 700 denotes a gap between the front sliding door 300 and the rear sliding door 400 (hereinafter abbreviated as “front / rear gap”), and reference numeral 710 denotes a gap between the upper surface of each sliding door and the lowermost end of the upper rail plate 500. (Hereinafter abbreviated as “upper gap”).
[0029]
The state before setting the sliding door temporary stopper to the furniture is a state in which the two sliding doors 300 and 400 are supported by the front rail groove 510 and the rear rail groove 511, respectively, and the sliding door is closed, that is, the front sliding door 300 is illustrated in FIG. 4 (A) is moved to the inner surface of the left side plate of the furniture (not shown), while the rear sliding door 400 is moved to the inner side of the right side plate of the furniture (not shown) in FIG. 4 (A). It is in a state.
[0030]
First, the front sliding door 300 is opened. That is, it is brought to a position overlapping in front of the rear sliding door 400. In this state, the male stopper 100 is set at the upper left front corner 420 of the rear sliding door 400. That is, the long body 110 is press-fitted into the front-rear gap 700 until the male stopper portion 140 of the male stopper 100 contacts the upper left front corner 420. As a result, the male stopper 100 is firmly fixed to the vertical gap 710 by the male wedge body 150 and the ratchet teeth 160 provided thereon, and the rear sliding door 400 is fixed in the vertical direction.
[0031]
Next, the front sliding door 300 is closed. In other words, it is moved to the inner surface of the left side plate of the furniture (not shown) on the back side of FIG. 4A. Then, the long body 110 of the male stopper 100 that has already been set and the knob 120 at the tip thereof are moved to the front sliding door. Appears on the back right hand side of 300. In this state, the female stopper 200 is set at the corner 320 on the upper right back side of the front sliding door 300. That is, the knob 120 of the male stopper 100 is held with the right hand and pulled to the front side in FIG. While doing so, with the left hand, the female wedge body 261 of the female stopper 200 is bent approximately 90 degrees inward at the connecting portion 251 (the state bent in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 1B), and the female wedge The body 261 is press-fitted into the upper gap 710 until one surface 231 of the stopper portion comes into contact with the right side surface of the front sliding door 300. At the same time, the long body 110 is inserted into the recessed portion 240 of the female stopper 200.
As a result, the female stopper 200 is firmly fixed to the upper gap 710 by the female wedge body 261 and the female ratchet teeth 271 provided thereon, and the front sliding door 300 is fixed in the vertical direction.
[0032]
Note that the ratchet teeth 160, 270, 271 can be fixed vertically even if there is a manufacturing error in the vertical direction of the sliding door, that is, an error in the vertical gap, and each wedge body 160 by vibration during furniture transport. , 260, 261 work to make it difficult to come off.
[0033]
Next, while grasping the knob 120 at the tip of the male stopper 100, the narrowed insertion portion 170 of the elongated body 110 is inserted from the narrowest opening 211 of the substantially C-shaped channel groove 210 to approximately C. Inserted into the channel groove 210 of the mold, the knob 120 is pulled strongly in the left direction in FIG. That is, the knob 120 is strongly pulled to the near side where a person standing in front of the sliding door can easily perform the pulling operation.
In this case, the male ratchet teeth 131 and the female ratchet teeth 220 that are in contact with each other can slide the elongated body 110 without meshing with each other in the pulling direction, and in the opposite direction, that is, in the right direction in the figure. The directionality is set so that the ratchet teeth 131 and 220 mesh with each other and the long body 110 is prevented from moving in the right direction.
[0034]
Therefore, when the elongated body 110 is strongly pulled leftward in FIG. 4A by the knob 120, the left and right movements of the front sliding door 300 and the rear sliding door 400 are completely performed by the male fastener 100 and the female fastener 200. The front sliding door 300 is fixed up and down by a female wedge body 261 and a ratchet tooth 271 provided thereon, and the rear sliding door 400 is also provided by a male wedge 150 and a ratchet tooth 160 provided thereon. It is fixed up and down. Therefore, both the front sliding door 300 and the rear sliding door 400 can be temporarily fixed securely without any vertical and horizontal rattling.
[0035]
When releasing the temporary fixing, the long body 110 is forcibly pulled from the opening of the substantially C-shaped channel groove 210 to the front to remove it, thereby releasing the coupling between the male stopper 100 and the female stopper 200. be able to. Moreover, the coupling | bonding of the male fastener 100 and the female fastener 200 can also be released by cutting the elongate body 110 with cutters, such as a cutter.
[0036]
In the above description, the case in which the convex portion at the top of the sliding door is on the rear surface side of the sliding door has been described, but there may be a convex portion on the front side of the sliding door. In this case, the male stopper 100 cannot be installed on the rear sliding door 400 with the sliding doors arranged as described above.
Therefore, in this case, the two sliding doors are fitted in the rail so that the two sliding doors are reversed in the front-rear direction, so that all the arrangements correspond to the above-described FIG. 4, and thus the sliding door temporary fastener according to the present invention can be used.
[0037]
In the case of three sliding doors, for example, a state that is symmetrical to the state of FIG. 4B occurs on the left side of FIG. 4B as shown in FIG. However, the male stopper 100 and the female stopper 200 of the present invention are also made substantially symmetrical (only the substantially C-shaped channel groove 210 of the female stopper 200 is basically not symmetrical). Since the channel groove 210 of the mold also has the same function as that of the symmetrical structure, the sliding door can be fixed in the same manner as described above by using the male stopper 100 and the female stopper 200 symmetrically. it can. That is, the male stopper 100 uses the male stopper 140 side as a stopper, and the long body 110 is bent in the direction of arrow A in FIG. The female stopper 200 bends the female wedge body 260 in the direction of arrow C in FIG. However, in this example, the sliding door in the middle is first fixed up and down using the two male fasteners 100, and then one female stopper 200 is attached to each of the left and right sliding doors, that is, two sets of sliding door temporary. You will use fasteners.
[0038]
Similarly, four or more sliding doors can be fixed by using the sliding door temporary stoppers (male stopper 100 and female stopper 200) of the present invention.
[0039]
By the way, in the above-described structure, if the male wedge body 150 of the male fastener 100 and the two female wedge bodies 260 and 261 of the female fastener 200 can be securely temporarily fixed, the ratchet teeth 160 can be used. The ratchet teeth 270 and 271 may not be provided. Moreover, about the male side ratchet teeth 130 and 131 provided on both surfaces of the long body 110, when the left side for the right side of the sliding door temporary fastener is made separately, one side of the ratchet teeth may be installed. Further, regarding the female side wedge bodies 260 and 261 of the female stopper 200, when the left side for the sliding door temporary stopper is made separately, only one of the female side wedge bodies 260 and 261 may be provided.
[0040]
Further, when it is desired to further strengthen the coupling between the male fastener and the female fastener or to change the coupling force, the notches 212 and 213 of the substantially C-shaped channel groove 210 have the following (1), (2), and (2) You may make it like 3 ▼ (4).
{Circle around (1)} The cut length is not half, but, for example, one cut length may be 1/3 of the channel groove length and the other may be 2/3 of the channel groove length.
(2) The cut length may be shortened. For example, one cut length may be 1/3 of the channel groove length and the other may be 1/4 of the channel groove length.
(3) It is not necessary to provide one of the cut portions 212 and 213.
(4) The notches 212 and 213 may not be provided.
[0041]
As another effective means for further strengthening the coupling between the male fastener and the female fastener or changing the coupling force, the protruding lengths of the eaves 216 and 217 of the substantially C-shaped channel groove 210 are used. You may adjust. However, in this case, since the width of the narrowest opening 211 of the channel groove 210 is changed, the width of the insertion portion of the male fastener 100 is also substantially equal to or less than the width after the change. Set.
[0042]
Further, as another effective means when it is desired to further strengthen the coupling between the male fastener and the female fastener or to change the coupling force, each of the eaves portions 216 and 217 of the substantially C-shaped channel groove 210 is provided. You may adjust the inclination | tilt angle of the inclination parts 214 and 215 provided in the inner surface. In an extreme case, the inclined portions 214 and 215 may not be provided.
[0043]
Further, the recessed portion 240 of the insertion portion 235 may be a substantially L-shaped cut. Also, the shape of the recessed portion 240 and the elongated body 110 fitted thereto is exactly the same (if the sliding door is closed, the common sliding door temporary is also used for furniture having a wide overlapping surface of the sliding doors. In the case of using a fastener, the portion of the male side ratchet teeth 130, 131 may reach the portion of the recessed portion 240 (this is not the case), but the male side ratchet teeth of the long body 110 are installed on one side. If this is the case, pulling the long body 110 with the knob 120 does not cause an unfavorable situation in which a biased force is applied to the male wedge body 150. Therefore, a gap between the male wedge body 150 and the long body 110 is provided. It does not have to be.
[0044]
Further, if the long body 110 is pulled, the knob 120 may not be provided. In this case, a hole through which the elongated body 110 and the male side ratchet teeth 130 and 131 on both sides thereof can pass may be provided in the insertion portion 235 instead of the recessed portion 240.
[0045]
Further, the male stopper 100 and the female stopper 200 do not have to be symmetrical. Thereby, for example, if the widths of the male side stopper portions 140 and 141 are made different from each other, it is possible to deal with two types of furniture with different front and rear clearances with one type of sliding door temporary fasteners. Moreover, it is good also as the setting which shifted | deviated each position of the male side ratchet teeth 130 and 131 in the horizontal direction on the front and back.
[0046]
In addition, the material of the sliding door temporary fastener may be other than synthetic resin. However, in this case, the hardness of the portion of the sliding door temporary fastener that makes contact with the furniture and the sliding door temporary fastener is such that the furniture is not scratched, and the portion of the elongated body 110 and the connecting portions 250 and 251 Any material can be used as long as it can be configured to have at least flexibility and can be inexpensive.
[0047]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the temporary sliding door stopper of the present invention comprises a male fastener that holds the inner corner of the rear sliding door and a female fastener that holds the inner corner of the front sliding door. In the sliding door temporary stopper that is temporarily engaged with both sliding doors closed by engaging, the male stopper includes a male stopper portion that holds an inner corner portion of the rear sliding door, and an abbreviation of the male stopper portion. A bendable elongate body extending from the center; a male-side wedge body arranged substantially parallel to the elongate body at the upper end of the male-side stopper; and both front and back surfaces or front and back surfaces of the elongate body The male side ratchet tooth provided in either one of these.
[0048]
On the other hand, the female stopper includes a female stopper portion that holds the inner corner of the front sliding door, an insertion portion that extends in a direction substantially orthogonal to the female stopper portion and is inserted between the sliding doors, A female wedge extending from either one of the upper and lower ends or one of the upper and lower ends of the female stopper via a flexible connecting portion; and a surface provided on the surface of the female stopper. It has a channel groove for holding the scale and a female ratchet tooth formed at the bottom of the channel groove.
[0049]
Using such male fasteners and female fasteners, the male stoppers hold the inner corners of the rear sliding doors, and the male wedges are located above the rear and rear sliding doors. While holding the inner corner of the front sliding door with the female stopper, the long body of the male fastener press-fitted between the components is positioned on the upper side of the front sliding door and the front sliding door. The two fasteners can be engaged by being held in a channel groove of a female fastener press-fitted between the furniture components and engaging both ratchet teeth.
[0050]
Therefore, the sliding door temporary fastener (male fastener and female fastener) of the present invention vertically fixes the upper gap of the sliding door by the wedge of the sliding door temporary fastener, and the long body between the male fastener and the female fastener. The left and right of the sliding door can be locked by fixing with the ratchet teeth and the channel groove. As a result, even if it is a “thick sliding door”, it is possible to simultaneously stop the left and right movements of the sliding door and the upper and lower rattling during furniture transport, and use a cushioning material such as a sponge to prevent vertical rattling This can improve the workability, and can provide a sliding door temporary fastener that has a simple structure, can be integrally formed with a synthetic resin, and can be made very inexpensive.
