Description

The present invention relates to a knockdown rack. More specifically, it relates to a knockdown rack that can be detachably attached to a magnetic wall surface by magnetic attraction.

As a magnetically attached, assembled rack, Patent Document 1 discloses a magnetically attached wall-mounted furniture having one or more flat shelves that are placed between the support parts of a pair of rectangular blocks that can be magnetically attached to a wall. When assembling this wall-mounted furniture, first the support parts of one of the rectangular blocks are magnetically attached to the wall. At that time, the vertical direction of the support parts is attached vertically. Next, a shelf is placed across the support parts of one of the rectangular blocks. Next, the other support part is magnetically attached to the wall so that the other support part can be attached to the placed shelf part.

JP 2019-146781 A

The wall furniture described above has a pair of rectangular support parts that are separate from each other for each set, so the work of magnetically attaching the support parts to the wall surface must be done at least twice, which is time-consuming to install. When disassembling, the same procedure must be followed in reverse, which is also time-consuming.
Furthermore, at least two rectangular support members are required for one set of wall furniture, which is disadvantageous in terms of the number of parts.

The present invention was made in consideration of these problems, and aims to provide an assembly rack that requires fewer parts and reduces the time and effort required for assembly and disassembly.

The present invention takes the following measures to solve the above problems. Note that the reference characters in parentheses attached to each component means in this section (the "Means for solving the problems" section) are for reference purposes only to show the corresponding relationship with the representative specific means described in the embodiments described below, and do not limit the component means of the present invention to these.

One aspect of the present invention is an assembly rack (10) that can be attached and detached to a magnetic wall surface by magnetic attraction, and has a fixed plate (1), a shelf (4), and a shelf support part (3). The fixed plate (1) is a thin, flat, single piece made of metal or synthetic resin such as plastic, and is flexible, with a base plate (11) having through holes (13) formed on both sides in the left-right direction (X) so that they are at the same vertical position on the left and right, and a magnetic sheet (21) fixed to one side of the base plate. The shelf support part (3) is inserted into the through holes (13) and is flexible. The shelf board (4) is supported by a through hole (13) that is provided with an insertion locking portion (32) that is inserted and locked into the through hole (13). The fixed plate (1) and the magnetic sheet (21) attached thereto are configured such that, when the magnetic sheet (21) is magnetically attached to the magnetic wall surface (W) and the insertion locking portion (32) of the shelf board support portion (3) is inserted into the through hole (13) of the fixed plate (1), a space (S1) large enough to accommodate the insertion locking portion (32) is formed between the magnetic wall surface (W) and the fixed plate (1).

In another embodiment of the present invention, a spacer (231) is provided between the magnet sheet (21) and the substrate (11).

In another aspect of the present invention, the spacer (231) is elastic.

The following describes an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the attached drawings.

First Embodiment
Fig. 1 is an external perspective view of the assembly rack 10 of the first embodiment, and Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the assembly rack 10 of the first embodiment. Fig. 3 is a plan sectional view of the assembly rack 10 of the first embodiment, where (a) shows a sectional view taken along line A-A in Fig. 1, and (b) shows the state when the fixed plate 1 is peeled off.
In these figures, including some of the figures described below, the three axes of the Cartesian coordinate system are XYZ, and the magnetic wall surface W is perpendicular to the XY plane and parallel to the ZX plane. The scale of each figure is not necessarily accurate, and some elements are drawn simply to make the present invention easier to understand. The same reference numerals are used for the left-hand and right-hand components that are the same or similar.

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the assembled rack 10 comprises a fixed plate 1, a bracket 3, and a shelf 4, and is detachably attached to a magnetic wall surface W by a magnetic sheet 21 provided on the fixed plate 1. The fixed plate 1, bracket 3, and shelf 4 can be separated without tools such as a screwdriver. Furthermore, no tools are required for assembly.

Next, each of the components of the assembly rack 10 will be described in detail.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the fixed plate 1, (a) showing the front side and (b) showing the back side. Fig. 5 is a two-sided view of the magnetic sheet 21, (a) showing a front view and (b) showing a side view. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the bracket 3, (a) showing the bracket 3 for the left side and (b) showing the bracket 3 for the right side. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the shelf board 4, (a) showing the front side and (b) showing the back side.

As shown in FIG. 4, the fixed plate 1 includes a substrate 11 and a magnet sheet 21 .
The substrate 11 is made of a rectangular thin metal plate having a thickness of about 0.1 mm to 2 mm, and has a pair of left and right ribs 12 formed on both sides in the width direction X. Each rib 12 is elongated and extends continuously in the up-down direction Z while protruding from the substrate surface by a predetermined height. More specifically, as shown in Fig. 3, the substrate 11 has two opposing side walls 121 and a top plate 122 connecting the two side walls 121 at their tops, and has a U-shape in plan view, forming an internal space S1.

The top plate 122 of the rib 12 is provided with a plurality of long through holes 13 bored at equal intervals L1 along the up-down direction Z of the rib 12. In other words, the holes have their axes perpendicular to the magnetic surface of the magnetic sheet 21. The long through holes 13 are sized so that the hooks 32 (see FIG. 6) of the bracket 3 can be inserted and dropped into them to engage with them.
The internal space S1 is large enough to accommodate the hook 32 inserted into the long through hole 13 in the rib 12.
Such a substrate 11 is manufactured, for example, by bending both the left and right sides of a single rectangular thin metal plate to form ribs 12, and then drilling a plurality of long through holes 13 in the top plate 122 of the rib 12. Alternatively, the order may be reversed, that is, drilling the long through holes 13 first, and then bending the plate.

A magnetic sheet 21 is attached to the non-protruding surface of the rib 12 on the substrate 11 with an adhesive.

The magnet sheet 21 is a flexible sheet-like magnet with an area slightly smaller than that of the substrate 11 and a thickness of 0.2 mm to 5 mm, and is a double-sided multi-pole magnetized type as shown in FIG. 5. That is, on both the front and back sides, magnetic poles 22, 23 (N pole and S pole) of a constant width and different polarities are formed alternately in equally spaced stripes, forming magnetized lines 24X with a constant pitch.

Such a magnet sheet 21 is produced by forming a mixture of fine powder of a hard magnetic material and a small amount of organic polymer elastomer as a binder into a sheet by a molding method such as rolling or extrusion, and magnetizing the surface. In order to obtain a sufficient magnetic attraction, it is preferable to use an anisotropic hard magnetic material.
The magnet sheet 21 is fixed to the substrate 11. If the substrate 11 has the properties of a soft magnetic material, a yoke effect is generated, and a larger magnetic flux density is generated on the magnetic surface of the magnet sheet 21 than when the magnet sheet 21 is alone, resulting in a larger magnetic force.
The thin metal plate having soft magnetic properties can be steel, ferritic stainless steel, etc. It is also possible to use a synthetic resin such as plastic instead of metal.

The thickness of the magnetic sheet 21 and the substrate 11 is set within the above range for the following reasons. That is, to ensure that the fixed plate 1, i.e., the combination of the substrate 11 and the magnetic sheet 21, has suitable flexibility and magnetic adhesion to the magnetic wall surface W. More specifically, if the thickness of the magnetic sheet 21 exceeds 5 mm, it becomes difficult to ensure flexibility, and if it is less than 0.2 mm, sufficient magnetic adhesion cannot be expected. Furthermore, if the thickness of the substrate 11 exceeds 2 mm, it becomes difficult to ensure flexibility and the weight increases unnecessarily, and if it is less than 0.1 mm, a sufficient yoke effect cannot be expected.

As shown in Figure 6, the bracket 3 has a shape comprising a trapezoidal frame 31, two hook-like hooks 32 spaced apart by a distance L1 along the base of the lower bottom 311 of the frame 31, and a rectangular base 33 having a surface perpendicular to the frame surface and having through holes 34 at two locations, front and rear, along the longitudinal direction.
Here, the distance L1 between the two hooks 32 is set to the distance L1 between the adjacent long through holes 13 in the rib 12 (see FIG. 4(a)).

A body of this shape can be manufactured, for example, by cutting hooks 32 at two locations on the bottom of a trapezoidal metal plate, bending the portion that will become the base 33, and drilling through holes 34 at two locations on the front and back of the base 33. As shown in Figures 6(a) and 6(b), brackets 3 are available in left and right versions, and are mirror images (symmetrical) of each other.

As shown in FIG. 7, the shelf board 4 is a rectangular board with the front side 41 serving as a support surface. It is made of wood, synthetic resin, or metal. In addition, protrusions 44 are provided near the four corners of the back side 42 of the shelf board 4. The protrusions 44 are provided at positions corresponding to the through holes 34 of the base 33 of the bracket 3, and are shaped and sized to fit into the through holes 34. The bracket 3 and the shelf board 4 can also be joined together to form an integrated structure (see, for example, FIG. 13(b) described below).

The prefabricated rack 10 having the above-mentioned components is intended to be attached to a magnetic wall W by magnetic attraction. The magnetic wall W is made of a wall material, such as a thin foil or sheet steel with a thickness of about 0.1 mm to 1 mm, with wallpaper attached to one side.

Next, the procedure for assembling the assembly rack 10 will be described.
FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the assembly procedure of the assembly rack 10. As shown in FIG.

First, as shown in FIG. 8(a), the fixed plate 1 is attached to the magnetic wall surface W. When attaching, the left and right ends of the fixed plate 1 are held with the left and right hands, respectively, and the magnetic surface of the magnetic sheet 21 is placed facing the magnetic wall surface W, and the magnetic sheet 21 is placed against the magnetic wall surface W to be magnetically attached with the upper edge of the substrate 11 held horizontally. In order to obtain an accurate horizontal state, a bubble-type level may be used. In this case, the work is made easier if the base of the bubble tube is placed, for example, on the top of the rib 12. If the magnetic attachment is made out of horizontality, the fixed plate 1 is removed once, the angle is readjusted, and the plate is reattached. Here, the substrate 11 and the magnetic sheet 21 have flexibility when combined. Therefore, when removing the fixed plate 1, a part of it can be bent and peeled off as shown in FIG. 3(b).

Next, the hooks 32, 32 of the left and right brackets 3, 3 are inserted and dropped into the through holes 13, 13 at the same height in the left and right ribs 12, 12, respectively, and locked in place as shown in Figure 8 (b).

Next, the shelf board 4 is attached.
When installing, the left and right sides of the shelf board 4 are held in the left and right hands, respectively, with the front side 41 facing upward, and the shelf board 4 is placed so as to span between the pedestals 33, 33 of the left and right brackets 3, 3, as shown in Figure 8(c). At this time, the protrusions 44 on the back side 42 of the shelf board 4 are fitted into the through holes 34 of the pedestals 33, 33 of the brackets 3, 3. This restrains the shelf board 4 on the pedestals 33, 33. In other words, the shelf board 4 is prevented from shifting out of position on the pedestals 33, 33.

For the other shelves, as shown in FIG. 8(d), the brackets 3, 3 and the shelf boards 4 can be attached in the same manner as described above.
In this manner, the knockdown rack 10 does not require tools for assembly.
The knockdown rack 10 attached to the magnetic wall surface W in the above manner functions as a shelf on which items can be placed on the shelf boards 4. When disassembling the rack, the assembly steps are reversed, and no tools are required in this case either.

In the assembly rack 10, the fixed plate 1 has ribs 12, 12 formed on both the left and right sides of a single base plate 11. The shelf board 4 is horizontally supported by brackets 3, 3 on the left and right ribs 12, 12, respectively. Therefore, the fixed plate 1 basically needs to be magnetically attached to the magnetic wall surface W only once, reducing the time and labor required for assembly. Also, the number of parts required is reduced. When disassembling, the steps are reversed from those for assembly, and the fixed plate 1 needs to be removed from the magnetic wall surface W only once, reducing the time and labor required for the work.
In addition, when removing the fixed plate 1 for adjusting the angle or disassembling it, as shown in Fig. 3(b), it can be peeled off by bending a part of it. In other words, instead of removing it all at once by applying a strong force, it can be peeled off gradually from the edge with a relatively weak force, so even children or women who have a relatively weak strength can easily remove it.

Each component of the assembled rack 10 described above can be modified in various ways.

[Modifications of the Fixing Plate]
9, 10, 11 and 12 are diagrams showing modified examples of the fixed plate 1 of the assembly rack 10. In FIG.
For example, as shown in Fig. 9(a), a plurality of long through holes 13 may be provided at equal intervals L1 in the vertical direction Z of the rib 12 on the side plate 121 instead of the top plate 122. In other words, the holes have their axes parallel to the magnetic surface of the magnetic sheet 21. In this case, the hooks 32j of the bracket 3j are inserted into the long through holes 13 and dropped in to lock them in place. The shelf board 4 is then placed so as to span between the bases of the left and right brackets 3j, 3j.

Also, as shown in FIG. 9(b), if a thick magnetic sheet 21 is attached to the substrate 11, the space S1 can be kept large even without providing ribs 12 on the substrate 11. In this example, the substrate 11 can be a flat plate, which eliminates the need to process and form the ribs 12.

Also, as shown in FIG. 9(c), the ribs 12 on the base plate 11 can be provided on the top and bottom instead of on the left and right. In this case, shelf boards 4 of different widths can be arranged one above the other.

Also, as shown in FIG. 10, when a spacer 231 is sandwiched between the magnet sheet 21 and the substrate 11, the space S1 can be kept large even without providing a rib 12 on the substrate 11. In this example, the substrate 11 can be a flat plate, which eliminates the need to process and form the rib 12.

If the spacer 231 is made of an elastic material, the spacer 231 can absorb shocks and reduce the displacement or falling of the assembly rack 10. For example, even if the magnetic wall W to which the assembly rack 10 is attached shakes due to an earthquake, the spacer 231 made of an elastic material can absorb the shock, mitigating the impact on the assembly rack 10 and reducing the displacement or falling. Conversely, when a heavy object is placed on the assembly rack 10, the spacer 231 made of an elastic material can absorb the shock when the heavy object is placed, reducing the displacement or falling of the assembly rack 10.

The elastic body is, for example, a flat rectangular parallelepiped with a surface size equal to the surface area of the magnet sheet 21. Its thickness is 1 mm to 5 mm, and it is made of, for example, expanded polystyrene, expanded urethane, or a rubber sheet. One surface is fixed to the non-magnetic surface of the magnet sheet 21 via an adhesive, and the other surface is fixed to the rear surface of the substrate 11 via an adhesive.

In FIG. 11(a), the rib 12 has side walls 121 rising from the left and right ends of the substrate 11, and a top plate 122 extending from the top end of the side walls 121 toward the inside of the substrate 11 in parallel with the substrate 11. In FIG. 11(b), the rib 12 has side walls 121 rising from the left and right ends of the substrate 11, and a top plate 122 extending from the top end of the side walls 121 toward the outside of the substrate 11 in parallel with the substrate 11.

In both Figures 11(a) and 11(b), a magnetic sheet 21 is attached to the non-protruding surface of the rib 12 on the substrate 11 with an adhesive.

By using either the configuration shown in Figure 11 (a) or 11 (b), a gap is created under the end of the top plate 122, making it easier to peel off the fixed plate 1 by inserting a finger into this gap.

In addition, in FIG. 12, the magnetic sheet 21 is overframed, sticking out from the top surface of the fixed plate 1. By overframing the magnetic sheet 21, the center of gravity of the magnetic surface is shifted upward. The ease with which the magnetic sheet 21 peels off depends on the position of the object placed on the magnetic sheet. Even for objects of the same weight, the magnetic sheet is more likely to peel off when placed below the magnetic sheet than when placed on the top edge of the magnetic sheet. For this reason, by shifting the center of gravity of the magnetic sheet 21 upward with respect to the fixed plate 1, i.e., by overframing it, it becomes possible to increase the weight that can be placed on the fixed plate 1.

By making the magnetic sheet 21 an overframe, when peeling the fixed plate 1 off the magnetic wall surface, the overframe portion can be grasped, making it easier to peel off.

[Modifications of brackets and shelves]
FIG. 13 shows a modified example of the bracket 3 and the shelf board 4. In FIG.
In Fig. 13(a), a magnetic sheet 221 is attached to the bracket 3 instead of through holes. Also, a magnetic sheet 221 is attached to the shelf board 4 instead of protrusions. The two magnetic sheets are magnetically attached to each other, making it possible to fix the shelf board 4 to the bracket 3. When installing the shelf board 4, it is possible to install the shelf board in a magnetically attached position, i.e., in an appropriate position, simply by sliding the shelf board 4 on the bracket 3. In other words, it is no longer necessary to align the protrusions with the through holes, making it possible to improve installation workability.

In FIG. 13B, the bracket 3 and the shelf board 4 are integrally molded to form a bracket-attached shelf board 341.
The bracket-attached shelf board 341 is made by cutting out a thin metal plate having a thickness of about 0.1 mm to 2 mm into a predetermined shape, similar to the substrate 11, and bending the plate between the shelf board 4 and the bracket 3. The bending process ensures the strength and load-bearing capacity of the shelf board 4. In FIG. 13(b), the left and right portions of the shelf board 4, i.e., between the bracket 3, are bent, but bending the front and rear portions of the shelf board 4 as well can further improve the strength and load-bearing capacity of the shelf board 4.
The bracket-attached shelf board 341 may be made of a material such as resin, wood, cardboard, etc.

[Modification of bracket]
14 is a diagram showing a modified example of the bracket 3. The short side direction of the base 33 of the bracket 3 is symmetrical with respect to the frame 31. This eliminates the distinction between left and right of the bracket 3, which makes it possible to improve productivity and ease of installation.
When two fixed plates 1 are arranged side by side with a gap between them, the shelf plate 4 can be placed between the opposing ribs 12 of the fixed plates 1 which are separate bodies.

Second Embodiment
15 is an external perspective view of the assembly rack 10A of the second embodiment, FIG. 16 is an exploded perspective view of the assembly rack 10A of the second embodiment, and FIG. 17 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB of FIG.

As shown in Figures 15 to 17, the assembly rack 10A includes a fixed plate 1A, a support 3A, a shelf 4A, and a support clamp 5, and is detachably attached to a magnetic wall W by a magnetic sheet 21 provided on the fixed plate 1A. As with the assembly rack 10, the assembly rack 10A is also designed to be attached to the magnetic wall W by magnetic attraction, and does not require tools such as a screwdriver for assembly and disassembly.

Next, each of the components of the assembly rack 10A will be described in detail.
Fig. 18 is a perspective view of the fixed plate 1A, Fig. 19 is a perspective view of the support 3A, and Fig. 20 is a perspective view of the support presser 5. Fig. 21 is a perspective view of the shelf board 4A, where (a) shows the front side and (b) shows the back side.

As shown in FIG. 18, the fixed plate 1A includes a substrate 11A and a magnet sheet 21.
The substrate 11A is made of a thin rectangular metal plate having a thickness of about 0.1 mm to 2 mm, and has a pair of vertical walls 12A formed on both sides in the width direction X as shown in FIG.
Each vertical wall 12A has an elongated shape that protrudes a predetermined height from the substrate surface and extends continuously in the up-down direction Z. More specifically, each vertical wall 12A is a single elongated plate wall that stands perpendicular to the substrate surface.

Each vertical wall 12A has a plurality of round through holes 13A bored at intervals L2, L3 in the vertical direction Z. The round through holes 13A are sized to allow the tip ends 33A, 34A (see FIG. 19) of the posts 3A to be inserted and locked into the holes.
Such a substrate 11A is produced, for example, by bending both the left and right sides of a single rectangular thin metal plate in the width direction X to form vertical walls 12A, and then drilling a plurality of round through holes 13A in the vertical walls 12A. Alternatively, the order may be reversed, i.e., drilling the round through holes 13A first, and then bending the plate.

For the same reasons as for the substrate 11 of the first embodiment, it is preferable that the metal used for the thin metal plate has soft magnetic properties, such as steel or ferritic stainless steel.

A magnetic sheet 21 is attached to the non-protruding surface of the vertical wall 12A of the substrate 11A with an adhesive. The magnetic sheet 21 is the same as that in the first embodiment, so a description thereof is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 19, the support 3A is generally comb-shaped and includes a peripheral frame 31A and a shelf support bar 32A. Both the peripheral frame 31A and the shelf support bar 32A are made of round metal bars.

The peripheral frame 31A is shaped like a bow that widens toward the end. The upper and lower parts of the bow are each roughly L-shaped in plan view, and have a straight tip 33A.

The shelf support bar 32A is generally L-shaped in plan view and has a straight tip 34A. Four shelf support bars 32A are provided for each support column 3A. Each shelf support bar 32A protrudes into the recessed area of the peripheral frame 31A from multiple locations at equal intervals L3 in the longitudinal direction of the vertical bar 311A of the peripheral frame 31A.
The distance L3 between adjacent shelf support bars 32A is the same as the distance L3 between adjacent round through holes 13A in the vertical wall 12A.

The support 3A can be manufactured, for example, through a process of bending a long metal round bar into the shape of the surrounding frame 31A, a process of bending a number of short metal round bars into the shape of the shelf support bar 32A, and a process of welding the surrounding frame 31A and the shelf support bar 32A in the positional relationship described above, with the end of the shelf support bar 32A on the non-formed side of the tip 34A of the shelf support bar 32A in contact with the vertical bar 311 of the surrounding frame 31A. The support 3A is symmetrical between the upper and lower halves from the center of the vertical bar 311, and can be used upside down, so there is no need to change the type for left and right use.

The post holder 5 is a rectangular column of the same length as the vertical wall 12A of the base plate 11A, and has a number of round through holes 54 drilled at intervals L2 and L3 along the longitudinal direction, as shown in FIG. 20. The round through holes 54 are sized to fit the tip 34A of the shelf support bar 32A of the post 3A and the tip 33A of the surrounding frame 31A. The post holder 5 is made of wood, for example. The multiple round through holes 54 are drilled at positions corresponding to the respective round through holes 13A of the vertical wall 12A of the fixed plate 11A.

As shown in FIG. 21, the shelf board 4A is a rectangular board with the front side 41A as a placement surface, and is made of wood, synthetic resin, or metal. Fasteners 44A are provided near the four corners of the back side 42A of the shelf board 4A. The fasteners 44A are U-shaped in cross section and have hook-shaped bodies that fit into the shelf support bar 32A.

Next, the procedure for assembling the assembly rack 10A will be described.
22 and 23 are perspective views showing the assembly procedure of the assembly rack 10A.

First, as shown in FIG. 22(a), the fixed plate 1A is attached to the magnetic wall surface W. The attachment is performed using the same procedure as in embodiment 1. That is, the left and right ends of the fixed plate 1A are held in the left and right hands, respectively, and with the magnetic surface of the magnetic sheet 21 facing the magnetic wall surface W, the horizontal side of the substrate 1A is kept horizontal, and the magnetic sheet 21 is placed against the magnetic wall surface W to be magnetically attached.

Next, as shown in Figure 22(b), the support 3A is placed on the right side of the vertical wall 12A so that the axis of the tip ends 33A, 34A of the support 3A is approximately aligned with the axis of the through holes 13A, 13A of the left vertical wall 12A of the fixed plate 1A, and in this state, the support 3A is slid toward the left vertical wall 12A. Then, as shown in Figure 22(c), the tip ends 33A, 34A are inserted through the through holes 13A, 13A.

Next, as shown in FIG. 22(d), the support column holder 5 is placed on the outside of the left vertical wall 12A. At this time, it is placed so that the axis of the through holes 54, 54 of the support column holder 5 is approximately aligned with the axis of the tip ends 33A, 34A of the support column 3A. In this state, the support column holder 5 is slid toward the left vertical wall 12A, and the tip ends 33A, 34A are pressed into the through holes 54, 54 and fixed in place, as shown in FIG. 23(a).

The right-side support 3A is fixed to the right-side vertical wall 12A using the support clamp 5 in the same manner as the left-side support 3A described above (see Figure 23 (b)).

Finally, the shelf board 4A is attached.
When installing, hold the left and right sides of the shelf board 4A with the placement surface 41A facing upwards in the left and right hands, respectively, and fit the fasteners 44A on both sides into the shelf support bar 32A at the desired height in the space between the two posts 3A, as shown in Figure 23(c). This allows the shelf board 4A to be horizontally supported between the two posts 3A.

The assembled rack 10A attached to the magnetic wall W in the above manner functions as a shelf on which items can be placed on the shelf board 4A. To disassemble, follow the reverse procedure to that of assembly.

In the assembled rack 10A, the fixed plate 1A has vertical walls 12A, 12A formed on both the left and right sides of a single substrate 11A. The shelf board 4A is supported horizontally by supports 3A, 3A on the left and right vertical rib walls 12A, 12A. Therefore, the task of magnetically attaching the fixed plate 1A to the magnetic wall surface W basically only needs to be done once, reducing the time and labor required for assembly.
In addition, the number of parts required is reduced. When disassembling, the procedure is reversed from that of assembly, and the fixed plate 1A needs to be removed from the magnetic wall W only once, reducing the time and labor required for the operation.
In addition, when removing the fixed plate 1A for adjusting the angle or disassembling it, a part of the fixed plate 1A can be bent and peeled off. In other words, instead of removing it all at once by applying a strong force, it can be peeled off gradually from the edge with a relatively weak force, making the removal work easy.

The assembled rack 10A can also be used in two upper and lower tiers as shown in FIG. 24(a). It can also be used in two left and right rows as shown in FIG. 24(b).

In addition, in the assembled rack 10A, the support retainer 5 is disposed on the outside of the vertical wall 12A of the fixed plate 1, but as shown in FIG. 25, the support retainer 5 can also be disposed on the inside of the vertical wall 12A. FIG. 25 is a perspective view showing a modified example of the assembled rack 10A, where (a) shows an assembled view and (b) shows an exploded view. In this modified example, the shelf board 4A is hung horizontally between the left and right supports 3A, 3A, so that the left and right support retainers 5, 5 are restrained between the left and right vertical walls 12A, 12A and the supports 3A, 3A, respectively, and the support retainers 5, 5 are reliably fixed.

[Modification of the support holder]
Fig. 26 shows a modified example of the post holder 5. Fig. 26(a) is a cross-sectional view of a modified post holder 5A. The post holder 5A has a through hole 54A through which the tip 34A of the post 3A can pass, a groove 54C that fits with the vertical wall 12A at the end of the fixed plate 11A, and a bottomed hole 54B that fits with the tip 34A. The height of the side plate on the through hole 54A side of the post holder 5A is shorter in whole or in part by the thickness of the fixed plate 11A compared to the opposing side plate on the bottomed hole 54B side.

Figure 26 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the combination of the fixed plate 11A, the support 3A, and the support holder 5A. The support holder 5A is fitted into the groove 54C so as to straddle the vertical wall 12A of the fixed plate 11A. The tip 34A of the support 3A passes through the through hole 54A of the support holder 5A, passes through the through hole of the vertical wall 12A, and fits into the bottomed hole 54B of the support holder 5A. In this state, the support holder 5A is fixed by the vertical wall 12A of the fixed plate 11A and the tip 34A of the support 3A, so it will not fall off. In addition, the tip 34A is sealed by the bottomed hole 54B, so the tip 34A does not protrude outside the support holder 5A, improving the appearance.

Figure 27 is a partial perspective view of the post holder 5A and the vertical wall 12A of the fixed plate 11A of the modified example. When fitting the post holder 5A and the vertical wall 12A, if the through holes are not aligned precisely, the tip 34A will not pass through. Therefore, a convex portion P1 is provided in the groove portion 54C of the post holder 5A, and a concave portion C1 is provided in the vertical wall 12A. As a result, when the post holder 5A is slid across the vertical wall 12A, the convex portion P1 and the concave portion C1 engage with each other, making it possible to align the positions of the respective through holes (not shown), and the tip 34A of the post 3A can pass through. The portion of the post holder 5A that comes into contact with the fixed plate 11A is formed thin by the thickness of the fixed plate 11A. In this example, the groove portion 54C is a convex portion and the vertical wall 12A is a concave portion, but the reverse is also possible. In addition, it is not limited to a convex portion and a concave portion, and any shape that makes a pair, so-called a male-female shape, may be used.

Figure 28 shows another modified example of the post holder. The longitudinal direction of the modified post holder 5B is slightly longer than the longitudinal direction of the vertical wall 12A, and a groove is formed with the same length as the vertical wall 12A. When the post holder 5B is fitted into the vertical wall 12A, the positions of the respective through holes (not shown) are naturally aligned. This allows the tip 34A of the post 3A to pass through. The height of the portion of the side plate with the through hole of the post holder 5B that comes into contact with the fixed plate 11A is shorter than the side plate on the other side by the thickness of the fixed plate 11A.

29A and 29B show yet another modified example of the pillar presser, in which (a) shows a plan view of the main part of the modified pillar presser 550, and (b) shows an example of use of the modified pillar presser 550.
The post holder 550 of the modified example has a groove M1 formed in the longitudinal direction of one surface as shown in FIG. 29(a). The groove M1 sandwiches the vertical walls 12A of the two fixed plates 1A. The post holder 550 has a plurality of round through holes 554 on two surfaces parallel to the groove M1. The round through holes 554 are sized to fit the tip 34A of the shelf support bar 32A of the post 3A and the tip 33A of the peripheral frame 31A. The post holder 550 is made of wood, for example. The plurality of round through holes 554 are drilled at positions corresponding to the respective round through holes 13A of the vertical walls 12A of the fixed plate 11A.

When installing, the two fixed plates 1A are magnetically attached to the magnetic wall surface W by the magnet sheet 21 so that the vertical walls 12A of each plate are adjacent to each other. Next, the two adjacent vertical walls 12A are fitted into the groove M1 of the support post holder 550. At this time, the through hole 13A of the vertical wall 12A is aligned with the through hole 554 of the support post holder 550. In this state, the tip 34A of the shelf support bar 32A of the support post 3A (see FIG. 29(b)) is inserted into the through hole 554 and the through hole 13A. In this way, when the fixed plates 1A are used side by side as shown in FIG. 29(b), the two fixed plates 1A can be connected and fixed with one support post holder 550. In other words, the support post holder 550 can be shared by the two fixed plates 1A.

FIG. 30 is a diagram for explaining a modified example of the vertical wall.
In this modification, the tip of the vertical wall 12A is bent perpendicularly outward relative to the fixed plate 1A, and after a predetermined length is secured, the vertical wall 12A is bent parallel to the vertical wall 12A. This improves the strength of the vertical wall 12A, making it possible to insert the tip of the support 3A directly through the vertical wall 12A and fix it there, thereby eliminating the need for a support support 5.

Figure 31 shows a modified version of support 3A. The tip of the modified support 3B is a hook similar to that of bracket 3. By inserting these hooks into the long through holes of rib 12 of fixed plate 1B, support 3B can be attached to fixed plate 1B. This reduces the number of parts and improves installation workability.

Third Embodiment
A third embodiment of the present invention will now be described.
In the third embodiment, a wall magnet sheet using a magnet sheet as the wall material is used as the magnetic wall W. This wall magnet sheet is attached so that the magnetization lines are parallel to the horizontal direction. The magnetization lines are virtual boundaries between one magnetic pole appearing on the surface of a multi-pole magnetized magnet sheet and the opposite poles on both sides of it. In reality, these are the areas that turn white when a "Magnevier" (registered trademark of Nichirei Magnet Co., Ltd.), a measuring tool that allows visual observation of magnetic patterns, is applied to the magnetic poles, and are areas where the magnetic field in the vertical direction on the sheet surface is extremely weak or zero.
The magnet sheet 21 of the fixed portion 1 shown in the first embodiment is selected to have magnetized lines at the same pitch as the wall magnet sheet.

When the magnet sheet 21 is attached to the magnetic wall W so that the magnetization lines of the magnet sheet 21 are approximately horizontal, the different poles of the striped magnetic poles of the magnet sheet 21 and the wall magnet sheet are magnetically attracted to each other. This allows the magnet sheet 21 to be fixed to the magnetic wall W in a straight state without tilting from the horizontal direction. Therefore, the labor required to maintain the horizontal state during installation in the procedure shown in FIG. 8(a) is reduced.
In addition, since the opposite poles are magnetically attracted to each other over the entire magnetic surface of the magnet sheet 21, the fixing is performed with a stronger magnetic force than in the first embodiment.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the embodiments disclosed above are merely examples, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. The scope of the present invention is indicated by the description of the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims.
In other words, the configuration, structure, shape, size, number, material, arrangement, and the like of each part or the entirety of the assembly racks 10, 10A can be modified as appropriate in accordance with the spirit of the present invention.

It can be used in a wide range of applications as an assembled rack that can be magnetically attached to a magnetic wall.
