Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a display shelf whose height can be freely adjusted.

Most conventional display shelves whose shelves can be adjusted to any height have independent rails on the structure that hold the shelf supports that receive the shelves.
If there are side plates or back plates around the display shelf, it is necessary to move the shelf supports at the corners surrounded by these plates, and with normal rail coupling means, the movement is hindered by the plates. It is difficult, and if a large external force is applied through the shelf bracket, there is a risk that the rail will bend.
This often causes problems with appearance.

The present invention was made with the aim of eliminating such drawbacks, and includes providing rails for attaching shelf supports to supports that are constituent members of display shelves.
The gist of this is to attach a shelf board to this rail, lock it with a rail joiner, and place the shelf board on top of it.

In the present invention, the shelf support is a side plate of a display shelf arranged so that its plate surfaces or extensions intersect;
It is movably attached to the rail provided on the support at the corner formed by the shoulder plate, and can be freely moved up and down on the rail to adjust to a predetermined height, using a chuck built into the rail jointer. Can be fixed to the rail.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a display shelf according to the present invention, in which 1 is a side plate, 2 is a back plate, and is attached to a frame constituted by a column 3 and a horizontal frame 6 connected to this column, and the entire frame is made up of a Formed in a letter shape. In the present invention, the side plate and the back plate are collectively referred to as the panel of the display shelf,
Usually, it is made of a plate-shaped body made of glass, metal, wood, etc., and is attached to a frame body obtained by combining columns 3 and horizontal frames 6 as a wall body that partitions the periphery of the display shelf. In this case, such a panel does not necessarily have to cover the entire side and back surface of the display shelf, and it is also possible to replace part or all of it with a cross-shaped panel, and the panel of the present invention includes all of these. These side plates 1 and back plate 2 are normally arranged so that the plate surfaces are perpendicular to each other with the support 3 in between, but if necessary,
They can also be arranged to intersect at an angle other than 90°.

The attachment of the side plates 1 and the back plate 2 is appropriately selected depending on their materials or shapes, and one end thereof is fitted into a panel fitting groove provided in the support column 3.

According to the present invention, rails 7 are provided in the longitudinal direction of the supports 3 of such display shelves as shown in FIGS. Attach it so that it can be locked, and attach it to the shelf board 5.
is placed on this shelf support.
The rail 7 is provided as a protrusion on a rail mounting portion 11 formed integrally with the column within a region surrounded by the side plate 1 and the back plate 2 of the column 3. The rail 7 can be formed together with the support 3 when it is molded, but if the support 3 is made of soft material such as aluminum, a rail made of stainless steel or the like is attached to the support 3 afterward. Figure 3 shows an example of a case where a rail is installed as a post-installation like this.A groove for fitting the rail is formed in the rail attachment part 11 of the column 3, and the rail is fitted into this groove. Furthermore, a wedge rod 12, for example, is fitted into the fitting portions of both, so that the rail 7 is firmly attached to the support column 3 so that it will not come off or come off. The ordinary rail 7 is provided continuously over the entire length of the support column 3 in the longitudinal direction. However, if the range in which the shelves are provided is limited in advance, they may be provided only in that area. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the rail mounting portion 11 of the support column 3 has a portion that protrudes into the area surrounded by the side plate 1 and the back plate 2, so that a part of the panel fitting groove is simultaneously covered. Form.

Furthermore, the rail 7 is provided with a side plate 1 and a back plate 2 arranged orthogonally to the support column 3 in order to improve the workability and structural balance when locking the shelf support 4 and assembling the display shelf. Preferably, it is provided exactly at the midpoint of the enclosed area, that is, at an angle of 45° from the side plate 1.

The shelf support 4 is attached to this rail 7 so that it can move up and down. This shelf board 4 is equipped with a rail joiner 8 at one end thereof, and is fixed to the rail 7 by this rail joiner after adjusting the height of the rail to an arbitrary height. The commonly used rail joiner 8 is inserted into the rail 7 and
is configured to be clamped and locked from both sides.
In order to prevent the rail 7 from coming off, grooves are formed along both sides of the rail 7, and a pressure contact means such as a ball chuck 10 incorporated in the rail jointer 8 is engaged with the groove to prevent the ball chuck from coming off. For example, it is fixed by being pressed against the rail 7 using screws or other methods. In this case, by using a plurality of balls arranged in the vertical direction, vertical movement of the shelf support 4 on the rail 7 is stabilized, and fixation to the rail 7 is ensured.

In addition, various types of chucks capable of holding the recessed groove portion of the rail 7 can be used as the rail jointer, and the shelf support 4 moves on the rail with the chuck relaxed or released, and reaches a predetermined height. It is then secured to the rail by a chuck. Therefore, the shelf board 4 cannot support a large load that exceeds the clamping force of the chuck on the rail 7, so it is suitable for a display shelf on which relatively lightweight items are placed. The shelf supports 4 are attached to supports 3 located on both sides of the back plate 2, and when multiple shelves 5 are provided, the corresponding number of shelf supports 4 are provided on each support post 3, and the shelf supports 4 on both sides are attached to the supports 3. The height is adjusted and the shelf board 5 is placed on it. In this case, in a preferred embodiment, the stay portion 9 for supporting the shelf plate of the shelf support 4 is provided along the wall surface of the side plate 1, as shown in FIG. It has a certain angle. Furthermore, the rails 7 are arranged so that the height of the left and right shelf supports 4 can be easily adjusted.
Alternatively, it is preferable to provide a height scale or an equivalent mark on a part of the support 3 in the vicinity.

Although an example of the present invention has been described above, it can also be applied to a corner shelf in which two panels are arranged, for example, orthogonally to the support 3. In this case, in order to hold the shelf board with one shelf holder that is locked to the rail of the support column 3, for example, a plurality of stay parts of the shelf holder should be provided for the rail joiner, or the stay part should be designed to have an annular shape. .

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the shelf board can be easily adjusted to any height, and since the shelf supports are attached to the rails attached to the supports of the display shelf, Not only is it easy to assemble, but the rail attachment part of the column can form part of the panel fitting groove, so it is superior both in structure and appearance, and even when force is applied to the shelf holder, the rail can be easily removed. Does not bend or sag.
