Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a flexible shelf that can be fixed at an arbitrary height between opposing wall surfaces, and storage furniture using the flexible shelf.

Conventionally, shelf boards of storage furniture have dowel holes on the left and right side boards at the same height at predetermined intervals, and metal dowels called shelf dowels receive grooves provided at the four corners of the bottom surface of the shelf board to hold the shelf. A method of fixing the board is used, which allows the mounting position of the dowels to be freely selected, so the height of the shelf board can be adjusted. Designability is also deteriorated. Furthermore, no matter how many dowel holes are provided, it is not possible to fix the shelf board at an arbitrary height in units of mm. I couldn't do it.

In order to solve this problem, JP-A-2003-100002 discloses a structure in which a plurality of pipes (inner pipes are slidable) are installed between opposing predetermined walls by spring compression in a strut style. It is freely inserted into the outer tube) and is fixed at any place. By rotating the screw on one of the frame plates, the compression force of the spring can be adjusted, and the shelf plate can be crimped and fixed to the wall surface. A telescoping shelf is disclosed with members that can be fixed at any height between opposing walls.

However, since this shelf board is pipe-shaped, small stored items fall through the gaps, and the appearance of the shelf board is unsuitable for general storage furniture. On the other hand, Patent Literature 2 discloses a shelf board that is attached between opposing wall surfaces by providing a shelf board mounting tool on one end side of the shelf board. This shelf board fixture can be screwed to a normal shelf board, and has a crimping member that stretches and fixes the crimping surface against the wall surface with a coil spring, and is crimped to the wall surface by rotating an adjusting nut.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. The following embodiments are essentially preferable examples, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, its applications, or its uses.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a flexible shelf board 1 of the present invention. Grooves are provided in the left and right side portions 1b of the front portion 1a, and insertion portions 1c are provided for inserting crimping members (leaf springs) 2, which will be described below. Note that the flexible shelf plate 1 shown in FIG. 3 does not have a groove extending to the rear surface, and has a U-shaped wall on the rear surface side when viewed from the side. This portion is a thrusting portion 1d and may be provided so that the crimping member 2 does not fall to the back side.

The crimping member 2 is formed by folding a plate spring made of metal or resin at a folded portion 2b at substantially the center to form the crimping member 2 having elasticity. Two prismatic pressure contact portions 2c are provided on the wall surface side of the folded leaf spring, and the repulsive force of the leaf spring is applied to the pressure contact portion with a small area, so the pressure contact force per unit area increases and is firmly fixed. can. As shown in FIG. 3, in order to increase the frictional force of the contact surface with respect to the wall, the pressure contact portion 2c may be formed as a pressure contact portion 2c' having an uneven surface or affixed with a sheet having a large frictional force.

The flexible shelf board 1 can be fixed at an arbitrary height between opposing wall surfaces, and can also be provided between indoor wall surfaces. If the plate 1 is installed, it can be fixed at an arbitrary height without being limited to the positions of the dowel holes, like conventional storage furniture. FIG. 5 shows a partial shelf board of the storage furniture 4 shown in FIG. The flexible shelf board 1 is crimped and fixed at an arbitrary height by a crimping member 2 inserted into the insertion portion 1c. The facing wall surface may be the wall surface 3 in the room as well as the side plate 4a of the storage furniture.

The mounting method of the flexible shelf board 1 to the storage furniture 4 is as follows: After inserting the crimping member 2 into the insertion part 1c of the flexible shelf board 1, both ends 2a are pinched with fingers to dent the leaf springs 2, and the side plate 4a is fixed to the desired position. The leaf spring 2 is inflated and crimped and fixed by releasing the finger. It is preferable to use the crimping members (leaf springs) 2 at both ends of the flexible shelf plate 1 because force is applied evenly, but they may be used at one end. According to this, since the crimping member 2 can be operated from the front side of the flexible shelf board 1 to operate attachment/detachment, the shelf board can be easily moved.

FIG. 6 shows part of the flexible shelf board 1 when another crimping member (coil spring) 5 is used. In this figure, the bottom surface (lower surface) is turned up for easy explanation. The inserting portions 1c (two circles) carved from the side portion 1b communicate internally with the spaces (two squares) carved on the bottom side.

FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 show a bottom view of a flexible shelf board and a wall surface with crimping members (coil springs) 5 attached to the insertion portion 1c, and a schematic view of a cross section as seen from the side. The crimping member 5 is composed of a coil spring 5a, an adjusting piece 5b, a shaft portion 5c, and a pressure contact portion 5d.

The adjustment piece 5b is pushed outward by the coil spring 5a, and the pressure contact portion 5d provided at the tip of the shaft portion 5c that abuts from the adjustment piece 5b to the outside is crimped and fixed to the wall surface 3 (4a in the case of storage furniture).

As shown in FIG. 8, the flexible shelf 1 can be attached and detached by manipulating the tip of the adjusting piece 5b (located on the bottom side of the shelf in use) with a finger. Since the adjusting piece 5b is located on the lower surface side of the flexible shelf board 1, it does not become an obstacle when storing articles.

According to the coil spring specification, although the mechanism becomes complicated, the operation part of the crimping member cannot be seen from the front, so the appearance is improved.
