[0022]
In the glass panel shelf 10 with the top plate attached with the top plate 20 floated on the top surface by the top plate fixture 30 as described above, the top plate fixing member 31 of the top plate fixture 30, the bolt 36, and the top plate The plate bolt 60 is not visible from above and from the front, and the fixing hole 44 on the side surface of each support column 40 is not visible from the side. Therefore, the aesthetic appearance of the glass panel shelf 10 with a top plate is not impaired by the top plate mounting tool 30. Moreover, the main body 41 of the column 40 of the top plate fixture 30 is formed in the same planar column shape with the same quality aluminum as the shelf column 12, so that the glass panel shelf 10 with the top plate is an integral structure. Therefore, the decorativeness can be further improved.
[0023]
Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
[0024]
For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the columns of the top plate mounting tool may be formed in a vertically symmetrical shape. That is, in the support column 40A shown in FIG. 5, a pair of stepped holes 42, 42 are formed on the upper and lower end surfaces of the main body 41A, and a pair of insertion holes 43, 43 are formed on the upper and lower sides of the main body 41A. The upper and lower end surfaces are respectively opened, and a pair of fixing holes 44 and 44 are opened vertically so as to be orthogonal to the upper and lower insertion holes 43 and 43, respectively. In the present embodiment, when the top plate 20 is attached to the upper surface of the glass panel shelf 11 with the top plate fixture 30, the vertically symmetric columns 40A, 40A are vertically symmetrical with respect to the left and right shelf columns 12, 12. The left and right support columns 40A, 40A can be arranged symmetrically. According to the present embodiment, it is only necessary to manufacture the column 40A of the same standard, so that the cost of the die of the aluminum die casting method can be reduced. Cost can be reduced.
[0025]
Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the columns of the top plate mounting tool may be formed symmetrically in the front-rear direction. That is, in the support column 40B shown in FIG. 6, a single stepped hole 42B is opened on the center line of the main body 41B. In the present embodiment, when the top plate 20 is attached to the upper surface of the glass panel shelf 11 by the top plate mounting tool 30, the longitudinally symmetrical support columns 40B and 40B are placed on the left and right shelf columns 12 and 12 180 degrees forward and backward. By inverting the degree, the left and right columns 40B, 40B can be arranged symmetrically. According to the present embodiment, it is only necessary to manufacture the support column 40B of the same standard, so that the cost of the die of the aluminum die casting method can be reduced. Cost can be reduced.
[0026]
The support column is not limited to being made of aluminum, but may be made of resin, wood, plywood, or the like. In addition, the fastening member and the fixing member are not limited to the support bolts 50 and the top plate bolts 60, but can be formed of self-tapping screw members, rivets, nails, and other fastening members and fixing members.
[0027]
Not only the case where a single top plate is attached, but also two top plates 20 and 20 may be attached so as to be connected as shown in FIG.
[0028]
The furniture to which the top plate is attached is not limited to a glass panel shelf but may be a general shelf or, for example, a cabinet or the like as shown in FIG. In the case of the cabinet 11 </ b> A shown in FIG. 8, the column bolt 50 is inserted into the mounting hole 18 in which the cutout piece 17 formed in advance on the upper plate 14 </ b> A of the cabinet 11 </ b> A is cut out, and the column 40 is fastened by the nut 52. May be.
