Description

The present invention relates to a shelf that can be attached to a wall.

As an example, shelves are installed on the walls of kitchens and other places to store or display various items. Patent Document 1 describes a hanging shelf (rack) that is attached to a horizontal bar installed on the wall of a kitchen.

This hanging shelf has a hanging piece, an inclined piece, a vertical piece, and a horizontal piece. The hanging piece is a section that can be hung on a horizontal bar that is installed in a protruding manner on the kitchen wall. The inclined piece is a section that is bent from the hanging piece towards the wall. The vertical piece is a section that is almost in contact with the wall. The horizontal piece is a section on which cooking utensils and the like can be placed.

In this hanging shelf, when the hanging piece is hung on the bar that is installed so as to protrude from the wall surface, the inclined piece is bent from the hanging piece toward the wall surface, so the vertical piece almost abuts against the wall surface. For this reason, Patent Document 1 claims that it is possible to effectively use the space below the horizontal bar and eliminate dead space.

Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 4-125846

Patent Document 1 gives two examples of hanging shelves (racks) that can be attached to a horizontal bar: a plate stand and a knife holder. Similar storage devices are also available on the market, such as hooks for hanging ladles and other cooking utensils, such as frying pans. However, although these hanging shelves can be selected according to the desired function, each component only has one function. Since the width of the kitchen wall that can accommodate the horizontal bar is limited, the number of hanging shelves (i.e. the number of selectable functions) is inevitably limited to two or three. This results in little increase in storage capacity and low wall utilization efficiency.

In addition, in conventional technology, the shapes and structures of the hanging shelves (racks) are completely different for each function, such as shelves for placing items, hooks for hanging items, knife holders, etc. This caused a problem in that when they were installed side by side on a horizontal bar, there was no sense of uniformity in the design.

In view of these problems, the present invention aims to provide a shelf that has multiple functions with a simple structure, and that can achieve a sense of design unity when multiple shelves are lined up together.

To solve the above problems, a typical configuration of a shelf according to the present invention is a shelf that is attached to a wall surface, and includes a shelf board having a vertical board that is attached to the wall surface and a horizontal board that stands upright on the vertical board, and a bar unit that is detachably attached to the horizontal board, and the bar unit is attached to the horizontal board at any position in the depth direction of the horizontal board so that the bar is located above or below the horizontal board.

In the above configuration, the bar can be placed above or below the horizontal plate with the bar unit removably attached at any position in the depth direction of the horizontal plate of the shelf. Therefore, as an example, if the bar unit is attached to the front side of the horizontal plate, i.e., the side away from the wall, and the bar is also placed above the horizontal plate, the bar can prevent various items from falling when placed on the horizontal plate. Also, if the bar unit is attached to the back side of the horizontal plate, i.e., the side closer to the wall, with the bar placed above the horizontal plate, various items such as tablets and books can be supported by the bar.

Also, by placing the bar below the horizontal plate, various items such as towels, kitchen paper, and ladles can be hung on the bar. Furthermore, by removably attaching multiple bar units to the horizontal plate of the shelf, and placing bars above and below the horizontal plate, respectively, or placing multiple bars only above or only below the horizontal plate, further functionality can be added.

Therefore, with the above configuration, the bar unit can be detachably attached to the horizontal plate of the shelf board, and the horizontal plate can have multiple functions in addition to placing various items on it, thereby saving space. Even if multiple shelves are installed side by side, the main components, the vertical and horizontal plates, are the same, so a sense of unity in the design can be achieved and the aesthetics can be improved.

The bar unit has a bar and two columnar members, the base of which can be fixed to the horizontal plate of the shelf, and the tip of the columnar member has a conical hole base with a diameter that decreases toward the side facing the other columnar member, and both ends of the bar are provided with truncated cone end members with a diameter that decreases toward the center of the bar, and the bar unit is formed by fitting the end members of the bar into the bases of the columnar members.

In this way, when attaching the bar to two columnar members, the truncated cone end members on both ends of the bar are fitted into the bases of the conical holes formed on the tip side of the columnar members. This applies a force toward the center of the bar, pulling the bar into a fixed position in the width direction. This allows the end members of the bar and the bases of the columnar members to fit together without misalignment. This allows the bar to be securely attached to the two columnar members.

It is preferable that the tip of the columnar member has multiple bases at different heights for mounting the bars.

This allows the height of the bar to be changed by attaching it to a base at a different height, enhancing convenience. As an example, if the bar unit is attached to a horizontal plate so that the bar is positioned below the horizontal plate of the shelf, by attaching the bar to a base that is placed at a high position, dish towels and the like can be hung on the bar at a position away from the kitchen worktop, or by attaching the bar to a base that is placed at a low position, it is possible to attach, for example, large-diameter kitchen paper made overseas to the bar.

Hooks are attached to the wall surface, and hook receivers are attached to the back of the vertical boards of the shelf boards. The hook receivers have a frame-shaped frame portion that is symmetrical in the vertical direction, and the frame portion is provided in the center of the top and bottom edges, protruding to form a gap between the vertical boards, and has an engagement portion that engages with the hook, and inclined surfaces formed on both sides of the engagement portion inside the frame portion, inclined so as to approach the engagement portion as they move in the vertical direction.

In this way, a hook receiver with a frame shape that is symmetrical from top to bottom is attached to the back of the vertical plate of the shelf board. Therefore, even if the vertical plate is turned upside down, the engagement parts on the top and bottom edges of the hook receiver can be engaged with the hooks on the wall surface to attach it. This makes it possible to change the height of the horizontal plate that is erected on the vertical plate and on which various items are placed, improving convenience.

Furthermore, when attaching a shelf to a hook on a wall, because the hook receiver is attached to the back of the vertical board, it may be difficult to see and position the hook receiver. Therefore, in the above configuration, inclined surfaces are formed on both sides of the engagement part of the hook receiver. As a result, when attaching a shelf to a hook on a wall, simply positioning the hook on the wall inside the frame part of the hook receiver allows the hook on the wall to be guided to the engagement part while contacting the inclined surface of the frame, and to easily engage with the engagement part. Therefore, even if the hook receiver of the shelf is difficult to see, the shelf can be easily attached to the hook on the wall.

The above-mentioned hook has tongues formed on the top and bottom that engage with the top and bottom engagement parts of the hook receiver, and the length of the upper tongue is set longer than the lower tongue, so that when the upper tongue is inserted into the upper engagement part, the lower tongue does not reach the lower engagement part, and when the lower tongue engages with the lower engagement part, the upper tongue maintains its engagement with the upper engagement part.

In this way, even when the upper tongue is inserted into the upper engagement part, the lower tongue is shorter than the upper tongue so that it does not reach the lower engagement part. This allows the upper tongue of the hook to be securely engaged with the upper engagement part of the hook receiver, and the shelf can be securely attached to the hook on the wall.

In addition, the upper tongue is set longer than the lower tongue so that it maintains engagement with the upper engagement part even when the lower tongue engages with the lower engagement part. This maintains engagement between the upper tongue of the hook and the upper engagement part of the hook receiver even when the shelf receives an impact from below and is pushed up from below, preventing the shelf from falling off the wall.

The present invention provides a shelf that has multiple functions with a simple structure, and when multiple shelves are lined up together, they create a unified look.

FIG. 7A to 7C are diagrams showing a procedure for attaching the shelf of FIG. 7A to a wall surface. FIG. 8( c ) is a diagram showing a state in which the shelf in FIG. 8( c ) receives an impact from below.

The preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings. The dimensions, materials, and other specific values shown in the embodiment are merely examples to facilitate understanding of the invention, and do not limit the present invention unless otherwise specified. In this specification and drawings, elements having substantially the same functions and configurations are given the same reference numerals to avoid duplicated explanations, and elements not directly related to the present invention are not illustrated.

Figure 1 is a diagram showing a shelf 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The shelf 100 is attached to a wall surface 102 in a kitchen, for example, and is used to store or display various items. As shown in Figure 1 (a), the shelf 100 comprises a shelf board 104 and a bar unit 106. The shelf board 104 has a vertical board 108 attached to the wall surface 102, and a horizontal board 110. The horizontal board 110 stands upright from the vertical board 108, and forms a horizontal surface on which various items can be placed.

The bar unit 106 is a unit that is removably attached to the horizontal plate 110 of the shelf board 104, and has a bar 112 and a pair of two columnar members 114, 116 on the left and right, and is constructed by assembling these members. Note that FIG. 1(a) also shows the state of the bar unit 106 before each member is assembled.

Fixing parts 118, 120 are formed at the base of the columnar members 114, 116. The fixing parts 118, 120 vertically sandwich side edges 122, 124 along the depth direction of the horizontal plate 110 of the shelf board 104, and detachably attach the columnar members 114, 116 to any position in the depth direction of the horizontal plate 110. Hereinafter, the side of the horizontal plate 110 that is away from the wall surface 102 is referred to as the front side, and the side that is closer to the wall surface 102 is referred to as the back side.

In addition, multiple (here, two) pedestals 126, 128 are provided at different heights on the tip side of columnar member 114. Furthermore, pedestals 130, 132 are provided at different heights on the tip side of columnar member 116. Note that columnar members 114, 116 have a symmetrical structure and have similar functions, so the following description of columnar member 116 will be omitted as appropriate.

End members 134, 136 are provided on both ends of the bar 112. The end members 134, 136 of the bar 112 are fitted into, for example, the bases 126, 130 of the columnar members 114, 116 (see Figure 4), thereby forming the bar unit 106.

The bar unit 106 is removably attached to the horizontal plate 110 at any position in the depth direction of the horizontal plate 110 by the columnar members 114, 116 so that the bar 112 is positioned above or below the horizontal plate 110 of the shelf board 104 (see Figure 2). In other words, the bar unit 106 can be attached upside down to the horizontal plate 110, or moved to the back or front side of the horizontal plate 110 and attached.

Hooks 138, 140 shown in FIG. 1(a) are attached to the wall surface 102. Frame-shaped hook receivers 144, 146 that are symmetrical from top to bottom are attached to the back surface 142 of the vertical plate 108 of the shelf board 104 shown in FIG. 1(b). Therefore, even if the vertical plate 108 is turned upside down, the shelf board 104 can be attached by engaging the hook receivers 144, 146 with the hooks 138, 140 on the wall surface 102. Note that in FIG. 1(b), the back surfaces of the hooks 118, 120 are shown through the wall surface 102.

In the shelf 100 shown in FIG. 1, the shelf board 104 is in a position in which the horizontal board 110 is located below the vertical board 108. Furthermore, the bar unit 106 is removably attached to the horizontal board 110 so that the bar 112 is located above the horizontal board 110.

Here, the bar unit 106 can be attached to the horizontal plate 110 at any position in the depth direction of the horizontal plate 110. And the shelf plate 104 can be attached to the wall surface 102 even if the vertical plate 108 is turned upside down. Therefore, the shelf 100 can be attached to the wall surface 102 in a variety of different styles (see Figure 2).

Figure 2 shows shelves 101A-101H of various different styles. In shelf 101A, the columnar members 114, 116 of the bar unit 106 are attached to the front side of the horizontal plate 110 of the shelf board 104, and the bar 122 is further placed above the horizontal plate 110. The shelf board 104 is also oriented such that the horizontal plate 110 is located below the vertical plate 108. In this type of shelf 101A, when various items (such as bottles containing seasonings) are placed on the horizontal plate 110, the bar 112 can prevent the various items from falling.

In shelf 101B, the bar unit 106 is attached to the back side of the horizontal plate 110 compared to shelf 101A, so that when various items (such as books or tablets) are placed on the horizontal plate 110, the various items can be supported by the bar 112.

In shelf 101C, columnar members 114, 116 of bar unit 106A are attached to the front side of horizontal plate 110 of shelf board 104, and bar 122 is further disposed below horizontal plate 110. In such shelf 101C, various items (e.g., ornamental plants) can be placed on horizontal plate 110 while various items (e.g., kitchen paper) can be hung on bar 112.

Compared to shelf 101A, shelf 101D adds a bar unit 106A that positions bar 122 below horizontal plate 110. As a result, when various items (such as potted plants) are placed on horizontal plate 110, shelf 101D not only supports the items with bar 112 of bar unit 106, but also allows various items (such as kitchen paper) to be hung on bar 112 of bar unit 106A.

Compared to shelf 101A, shelf 101E has vertical plate 108 of shelf 104 turned upside down, so the height of horizontal plate 110 on which various items (such as bottles of seasonings) are placed can be changed. Furthermore, shelf 101E has columnar members 114, 116 of bar unit 106 attached to the front side of horizontal plate 110 of shelf 104, and bar 122 is further positioned above horizontal plate 110, so bar 112 can prevent various items from falling.

Shelf 101F differs from shelf 101E in that instead of bar unit 106, bar unit 106A is attached to horizontal plate 110, with bar 122 positioned below horizontal plate 110. With shelf 101F, various items (e.g., containers, etc.) can be placed on horizontal plate 110 while various items (e.g., kitchen paper) can be hung on bar 112.

Compared to shelf 101E, shelf 101G adds a bar unit 106A that positions bar 122 below horizontal plate 110. As a result, when various items are placed on horizontal plate 110, shelf 101G not only supports the items with bar 112 of bar unit 106, but also allows various items (e.g., kitchen paper) to be hung on bar 112 of bar unit 106A.

Compared to shelf 101F, shelf 101H adds a bar unit 106A that positions the bar 122 below the horizontal plate 110. As a result, shelf 101H has two bars 112 arranged side by side below the horizontal plate 110. Therefore, with shelf 101H, the height of the horizontal plate 110 can be made high even if the wall surface 102 (see Figure 1) facing the fixture is low. Various items (e.g. dish towels, ladles, etc.) can be hung on these two bars 112.

The shelf 100 shown in FIG. 1 has a simple structure in which the bar unit 106 is detachably attached to the horizontal plate 110 of the shelf board 104, and different styles of shelves 101A-101H as shown in FIG. 2 can be appropriately assembled. The shelf 100 not only allows various items to be placed on the horizontal plate 110, but also has multiple functions such as preventing various parts from falling with the bar 112, supporting various parts, and even hanging various items on the bar 112, thereby enabling space saving.

In addition, even if multiple shelves 100 are installed side by side, the main components, the vertical boards 108 and horizontal boards 110, are the same, so a sense of unity in the design can be achieved and the aesthetic appearance can be improved.

Figure 3 is an enlarged view of a portion of the bar units 106A and 106B. The bar unit 106A shown in Figure 3(a) is used in the shelves 101C, 101D, 101F, 101G, and 101H in Figure 2, and has columnar members 114 and 116 attached to the horizontal plate 110 of the shelf board 104, and a bar 122 is further placed below the horizontal plate 110.

The fixing portion 118 formed at the base of the columnar member 114 can be securely fixed to the side edge 122 of the horizontal plate 110 by clamping the side edge 122 of the horizontal plate 110 shown in FIG. 1 from above and below as described above, and then tightening the urea screw 147. Note that the fixing portion 118 is not limited to the urea screw 147, and any suitable mechanism that can clamp the side edge 122 of the horizontal plate 110 of the shelf board 104 from above and below can be used.

Furthermore, as described above, the bases 126, 128 are provided at different heights on the tip side of the columnar member 114. In the bar unit 106A, the end member 134 of the bar 112 is fitted into the base 126 of the columnar member 114 as shown in FIG. 3(a). In the bar unit 106B shown in FIG. 3(b), the end member 134 of the bar 112 is fitted into the base 128 of the columnar member 114. In this way, in the bar units 106A, 106B, the height of the bar 112 can be changed by attaching the bar 112 to the bases 126, 128 provided at different heights, thereby improving convenience.

Figure 4 is a diagram showing how the bar unit 106A in Figure 3(a) is assembled. Figure 5 is a diagram showing a shelf 101F equipped with the bar unit 106A in Figure 4.

The shelf 101F shown in FIG. 5 is configured such that the columnar members 114, 116 of the bar unit 106A are attached to the front side of the horizontal plate 110 of the shelf board 104, and the bar 122 is further disposed below the horizontal plate 110 (see FIG. 2). The shelf board 104 is also oriented such that the horizontal plate 110 is positioned above the vertical plate 108.

The base 126 of the columnar member 114 forms a conical hole as shown in FIG. 4(a), and the diameter decreases toward the side facing the other columnar member 116 as shown in FIG. 4(b) and FIG. 4(c). The base 130 of the columnar member 116 also forms a conical hole, and the diameter decreases toward the side facing the columnar member 114. The end members 134, 136 at both ends of the bar 122 form a truncated cone, and the diameter decreases toward the center of the bar 112.

When fitting the end members 134, 136 of such a bar 122 into the bases 126, 130 of the columnar members 114, 116, one end member 134 may be hooked onto the base 126 and then the other end member 136 may be attached to the base 130 (see FIG. 5(a)), or both end members 134, 136 may be attached to the bases 126, 130 at the same time (see FIG. 5(b)).

Here, the end members 134, 136 of the bar 122 form a truncated cone, and the bases 126, 130 of the columnar members 114, 116 form a conical hole. Therefore, when the end members 134, 136 are fitted into the bases 126, 130 as shown in FIG. 4(b), even if the positions are slightly misaligned, a force acts toward the center of the bar 122, so the bar 122 is pulled into a fixed position in the width direction.

As a result, the end members 134, 136 of the bar 122 and the bases 126, 130 of the columnar members 114, 116 fit together without misalignment, as shown in FIG. 4(c). Therefore, the bar 122 can be securely attached to the two columnar members 114, 116 to form the bar unit 106A.

Here, the user can assemble and use shelves 101A-101H of various different styles, as shown in FIG. 2, as appropriate. For this reason, the mounting position of the bar 122 may frequently change to above or below the horizontal plate 110 of the shelf board 104, or even to the front or back side of the horizontal plate 110, depending on the user's usage method. In such a case, even if the positions are slightly misaligned when fitting the end members 134, 136 of the bar 122 into the bases 126, 130 as described above, the bar 122 can be reliably attached to the two columnar members 114, 116, so the shelves 101A-101H can be assembled in a short time, improving workability.

Figure 6 shows shelf 101I in a different style from shelf 101F in Figure 5. As shown in Figure 6(a), in shelf 101I, bar unit 106A is positioned on the far side of horizontal plate 110 of shelf board 104 compared to shelf 101F. Also, in shelf 101I, as an example, vertical plate 108 of shelf board 104 is attached to wall surface 102 above worktop A.

When user B looks down on shelf 101I from diagonally above as shown in Figure 6(a) (see dotted line C), shelf 101I as seen by user B is in a state in which bar 112 (see Figure 6(a)) of bar unit 106A is hidden by horizontal plate 110 of shelf 104 as shown in Figure 6(b). However, as mentioned above, even if the position is slightly shifted when fitting end members 134, 136 of bar 122 into bases 126, 130, bar 122 is pulled into a fixed position in the width direction.

Therefore, when the bar 122 cannot be seen due to the relative positions of the shelf 101I and user B, user B can securely attach the bar 122 to the two columnar members 114, 116 by hooking one end member 134 of the bar 122 onto the base 126 as shown in FIG. 5(a), and then attaching the other end member 136 to the base 130. In other words, user B does not need to attach both end members 134, 136 of the bar 122 to the bases 126, 130 simultaneously (see FIG. 5(b)) when the bar 122 cannot be seen, and the attachment work is not time-consuming.

Figure 7 is a diagram explaining the hook receivers 144, 146 of the shelf 100 in Figure 1 and the hooks 138, 140 of the wall surface 102. As shown in Figure 7 (a), the hook receivers 144, 146 are attached to the back surface 142 of the vertical plate 108 of the shelf board 104, and the hooks 138, 140 are attached to the wall surface 102. Note that the hook receivers 144, 146 and the hooks 138, 140 each have the same structure and similar functions, so the following explanation of the hook receiver 146 and the hooks 140 will be omitted as appropriate.

The hook receiver 144 has a frame portion 148 as shown in FIG. 7(b). The frame portion 148 forms a frame shape that is symmetrical in the vertical direction and has engagement portions 150, 152 and inclined surfaces 154, 156, 158, 160. The engagement portion 150 is provided in the center of the upper side 162 of the frame portion 148 and is raised so as to form a gap 164 shown in FIG. 7(a) between the vertical plate 108 and the engagement portion 152. The engagement portion 152 is provided in the center of the lower side 166 (see FIG. 7(b)) of the frame portion 148 and is raised so as to form a gap 168 shown in FIG. 7(a) between the vertical plate 108 and the engagement portion 152.

As shown in FIG. 7(b), the inclined surfaces 154 and 156 are formed on the inside of the frame portion 148 on both sides of the engaging portion 150, and are inclined so as to approach the engaging portion 150 as they extend upward. The inclined surfaces 158 and 160 are formed on the inside of the frame portion 148 on both sides of the engaging portion 152, and are inclined so as to approach the engaging portion 152 as they extend downward.

As shown in FIG. 7(c), an upper tongue 170 and a lower tongue 172 are formed above and below the hook 138. The upper tongue 170 is set to be longer than the lower tongue 172.

Here, the vertical length of the inside of the frame 148 of the hook receiver 144 shown in FIG. 7(b) is dimension W1, the vertical length of the hook 138 shown in FIG. 7(c) excluding the lower tongue 172 is dimension W2, and the vertical length of the hook 138 excluding the upper tongue 170 is dimension W3. These dimensions of the hook receiver 144 and hook 138 are set so that "W2 > W1 > W3".

Figure 8 shows the procedure for attaching the shelf 100 of Figure 7(a) to the wall surface 102. First, the hook receivers 144, 146 attached to the back surface 142 of the vertical plate 108 of the shelf board 104 of Figure 7 are hooked onto the hooks 138, 140 of the wall surface 102. At this time, for example, as shown by the arrow in Figure 8(a), the engagement portion 150 of the hook receiver 144 is brought close to the tongue piece 170 on the hook 138.

However, because the hook receiver 144 is attached to the back surface 142 of the vertical plate 108, it may be difficult to see the hook receiver 144 and position it. Taking such a situation into consideration, inclined surfaces 154, 156 are formed on both sides of the engagement portion 150 on the inside of the frame portion 148 of the hook receiver 144.

That is, simply by positioning the hook 138 of the wall surface 102 inside the frame portion 148 as shown in FIG. 8(d), the tongue piece 170 on the hook 138 is guided to the engagement portion 150 as indicated by the arrow in the figure while contacting either the inclined surface 154 or 156 of the frame portion 148 (in this case, the inclined surface 154).

As a result, as shown in FIG. 8(b), the tongue 170 on the hook 138 easily engages with the engagement portion 150 of the hook receiver 144. When the tongue 170 on the hook 138 is inserted into and engaged with the engagement portion 150 of the hook receiver 144, the lower side of the shelf board 104, i.e., the horizontal board 110, is brought closer to the wall surface 102, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 8(b).

At this time, since the dimension W3 is shorter than the dimension W1, when the upper tongue 170 of the hook 138 is inserted into the engagement portion 150 of the hook receiver 144, the lower tongue 172 does not reach the engagement portion 152 as shown in FIG. 8(e). This allows the upper tongue 170 of the hook 138 to reliably engage with the engagement portion 150 of the hook receiver 144. Therefore, even if the hook receivers 144, 146 of the shelf board 104 are difficult to see, the shelf 100 can be easily and reliably attached to the hooks 138, 140 of the wall surface 102.

Figure 9 shows the shelf 100 in Figure 8(c) receiving an impact from below. When the shelf 100 receives an impact from below and is pushed up from below as shown by the arrows in Figures 9(a) and 9(b), the tongue 172 below the hook 138 engages with the engagement portion 152 of the hook receiver 144.

At this time, since the dimension W2 is longer than the dimension W1, when the lower tongue 172 of the hook 138 engages with the engaging portion 152 of the hook receiver 144, the upper tongue 170 maintains engagement with the engaging portion 150 as shown in Figures 9(a) and 9(b). This makes it possible to prevent the shelf 100 from falling off the wall surface 102 even when the shelf 100 is pushed up from below due to an impact from below.

Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the attached drawings, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the examples described. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can come up with various modified or revised examples within the scope of the claims, and it is understood that these also naturally fall within the technical scope of the present invention.

This invention can be used for shelves that are attached to a wall.
