[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

The present invention relates to a partition plate for temporarily holding a partition plate used for a drawer or a shelf on the inner surface of a side plate of a drawer when packing and transporting a cabinet, a desk with sleeves and the like. More specifically, the present invention relates to a partition plate holder excellent in detachability.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A partition plate for partitioning the inside of a drawer or shelf of a cabinet, a desk with sleeves, or the like is used by being locked in a locking groove. However, when packing and carrying cabinets, desks with sleeves, and the like, they may be turned upside down, so that the partition plate cannot be locked in a locking groove such as a drawer. Therefore, conventionally, a method has been widely adopted in which a wing nut is fastened to a bolt penetrating the side wall and the partition plate from the back side surface of the side plate such as a drawer to hold the partition plate on the inner surface of the side plate such as a drawer.

On the other hand, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-1077631, a long hole is formed in a side plate such as a drawer and a partition plate, and the partition plate is attached to the inner surface of the side plate with a clip fitted into the long hole. A method of retaining the information has been proposed. This clip has a neck that is rotatable within the long hole between a head that has a shape that approximately matches the long hole and a flange that is large enough to cover the long hole. When the head is rotated through about 90 °, the head is prevented from slipping out of the elongated hole, and the side plate such as a drawer and the partition plate are sandwiched between the head and the flange.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When a partition plate is held on the inner surface of a side plate such as a drawer using a bolt and a wing nut, the cost of parts is increased, the operation of the wing nut becomes complicated, and the wing nut is further complicated. Since the operation for preventing the rotation of the bolt is also required when the operation is performed, the operation of attaching and detaching the partition plate becomes complicated. Further, if the back surface of the side plate of the drawer or the like is covered with an outer plate or the like, it is not applicable. Further, if the space of the back surface of the side plate of the drawer or the like is narrow, the above-described bolt rotation operation becomes difficult. .

[0005] On the other hand, the above-mentioned conventional crib can solve some of the drawbacks of the bolt and the wing nut, but requires the operation of inserting and removing the clip and rotating the clip.
Difficulty in operability. Furthermore, since a large knob for rotating the clip is required, the shape becomes complicated and the size becomes large, and there is a disadvantage that the manufacturing cost of resin molding and the like increases.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a partition plate holder which can be easily attached and detached and can be manufactured at low cost.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. First, referring to FIG. 1, a steel drawer 1 used for a file cabinet or the like includes a rectangular storage portion defined by a bottom plate 2 and left and right and front and rear side plates 3 to 6, and a front side plate 5 has a front side plate 5. The back cover of the latch mechanism incorporated in the face plate 7 is formed. Drawer 1
The partition plate 8 for partitioning the storage section is formed in the vicinity of the front and rear ends of the bottom plate 2 and has a projection 8a which engages with the slit grooves 2a arranged in the left-right direction and a slit groove 6a formed on the upper part of the rear side plate 6. And a projection 8b which engages with the projection 8a.
By engaging b with the slit grooves 2a and 6a, the partition plate 8 can be erected in the storage portion of the drawer 1.

If the partition plate 8 is attached to the slit grooves 2a and 6a of the drawer 1 when packing and transporting the file cabinet or the like in which the drawer 1 is stored, the partition plate 8 is moved by the vibration during transportation. , 6a. When the cabinet containing the drawer 1 is loaded upside down during transportation, the partition plate 8 is
a, 6a. Therefore, the partition plate 8 needs to be held on the inner surface of one of the side walls 3 to 6. For this purpose, holes 4a, 8a are formed through the side plate 4 and the partition plate 8 of the drawer 1 for this purpose, and a partition plate holder 10 that engages with these holes 4a, 8a is used.

As shown in FIG. 2, the partition plate holder 10 is
It has a substantially V-shaped or U-shaped elastic clip body composed of two arm portions 11 and 12 having one end connected to each other. Projections 11a and 12a are formed on outer sides near the one ends of the two arms 11 and 12 of the clip body in contact with the periphery of the hole 4a on the back side surface of the side plate 4 of the drawer 1. A flange portion 11b for pressing the partition plate 8 toward the protrusions 11a and 12a is further provided on the outer portions of the flange portions 11 and 12.
A projection 12b is formed at a position spaced from the projections 11a and 12a. The clip body is made of an elastic synthetic resin, and the projections 11a,
12a can pass through the side plates 4 of the drawer 1 and the holes 4a, 8a of the partition plate 8 when the distance between the two arm portions 11, 12 is narrowed by a finger. In this embodiment, both projections 11a, 12a
The outer surface from the tip of the arm to one end of each of the arm portions 11 and 12 has a substantially V-shaped contour, so that the clip body can be easily inserted into the holes 8a and 4a.

When the partition plate holder 10 having the above configuration is used, the other ends of the two arms 11 and 12 of the clip body are sandwiched between fingers, and the distance between the two arms 11 and 12 is narrowed. , 12 are inserted from the inside of the drawer 1 into the hole 8a of the partition plate 8 and the hole 4a of the side plate 4 which are overlapped on the inner side surface of the side plate 4. When the protrusions 11a and 12a near one ends of the arms 11 and 12 pass through the hole 4a of the side plate 4, the fingers are released from the arms 11 and 12, and the arms 11 and 12 are moved.
2 is restored to the expanded state. At this time, both arms 1
Since the projections 11a and 12a of the first and second abut against the back side surface of the side plate 4 and the flange portions 11b and 12b abut on the inner side surface of the partition plate 8, the partition plate 8 is held by the side plate 4 via the partition plate holder 10. It is held on the inner surface. In this manner, the clip body can be easily engaged and disengaged and inserted and removed with a simple operation, so that the workability of temporarily holding the partition plate 8 is improved, and the compact, simple structure can be manufactured at low cost.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, three partition plates 8 are superimposed on the inner surface of the side plate 4, and the projections 11a, 12a and the flange portions 11b, 1
2b. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the distance between the protrusions 11a, 12a and the roots of the flanges 11b, 12b in this embodiment is substantially equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the side plate 4 and the three partition plates 8, Although the number of the partition plates 3 that can be held is limited to three, the flange portions 11b, 1
As can be easily understood from FIG. 3, 2b is inclined toward the protrusions 11a and 12a from the root to the tip, and the flanges 11b and 12b are relatively thin and the arms 11 and 12b are relatively thin.
12 is formed to be able to bend and deform. Therefore, even if the number of the partition plates 8 is two, the partition plates 8 are connected between the front end portions of the flange portions 11b and 12b and the protrusions 11a and 12a.
Can be pinched together.

Further, the other end of each of the arms 11 and 12 has a swelling portion 11 which swells in the direction in which the arms 11 and 12 expand.
c, 12c are formed, so that the bulging portions 11c,
Both arms 11 and 12 can be easily operated by putting a finger on 12c.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the holes 4a and 8a are round holes, but may be rectangular holes having a width corresponding to the width of both abs 11 and 12.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show a reference example . In this reference example, since the flange portions 11b and 12b are formed to be relatively thick and do not deform as in the above-described embodiment, the protrusions 11a and 12a are provided only when the number of the partition plates 8 is a specified number (two in the illustrated example). Between the ribs 11b and 12b
Can be clamped together with the side plate 4. Other configurations are the same as in the above embodiment.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show another reference example . In this reference example, the partition plate holder 10 has a substantially V-shaped or U-shaped elastic clip body composed of two arm portions 11 and 12 having one end connected to each other,
As in the above embodiment, the protrusions 11a, 1 abutting around the hole 4a on the back side surface of the side plate 4 of the drawer 1 are provided on the outer portions near the one ends of the two arm portions 11, 12 of the clip body.
2a are formed, and the projections 1 of both arms 11 and 12 are formed.
1a and 12a can pass through the holes 4a and 8a of the side plate 4 and the partition plate 8 when the distance between the arms 11 and 12 is narrowed by a finger. However, in this reference example, one arm 1
Abutment wall 1 which abuts only on the outer side of the inner surface of partition plate 8
1d is formed so as to protrude toward the other arm portion 12 from a position spaced a predetermined distance from the protrusion 11a, and the other arm portion 12 can slide on the wall surface of the contact wall 11d. And a regulating guide portion 11e for regulating the expanded position of the other arm portion 12 is provided.
Other configurations are the same as those in the above embodiment.

When the partition plate holder 10 of this reference example is used, the other ends of the arms 11 and 12 of the clip body are sandwiched between fingers, and when the distance between the arms 11 and 12 is reduced, one arm is used. The other arm 12 is brought into contact with the contact wall 11d by the regulating guide portion 11e of the contact wall 11d protruding from the contact wall 11d.
Is guided along the wall surface of both arms 11 and 1
2 can be prevented from being greatly distorted in directions other than the expansion and contraction directions. Therefore, the operability of the two arm portions 11 and 12 is improved. Similarly to the above-described embodiment, one end of each of the arms 11 and 12 is inserted from the inside of the drawer 1 into the hole 8a of the partition plate 8 and the hole 4a of the side plate 4 overlapped on the inner side surface of the side plate 4. The projections 11a and 12a near one end of the side plate 4
After passing through the hole 4a, the fingers are released from the arms 11 and 12, and the arms 11 and 12 are restored to the expanded state. At this time, the projections 11a and 12a of the two arm portions 11 and 12 abut on the back side surface of the side plate 4, and one arm portion 11
The abutting wall 11d abuts on the inner surface of the partition plate 8, so that the partition plate 8 is held on the inner surface of the side plate 4 via the partition plate holder 10. In this manner, the clip body can be easily engaged and disengaged and inserted and removed with a simple operation, so that the workability of temporarily holding the partition plate 8 is improved, and the compact, simple structure can be manufactured at low cost.

As shown in FIG. 7A, the regulating guide 1
1e can regulate the expanded position of the other arm portion 12. Since the clip body is made of spring-rich material,
When the arm portion 12 is detached from the regulation guide portion 11e, as shown in FIG. 6, the arm portion 12 greatly expands. By forming the clip body from a material having a high spring property as described above, the holding characteristics of the partition plate can be enhanced. However, the arm portion 12 is engaged with the regulating guide portion 11e to regulate the expanded position. Because of this, the clip body can be easily handled or operated.

The clip body of the above reference example is shown in FIG.
As shown in (1), since the arm portion 12 can be formed in a state where it does not overlap with the contact wall 11e, the forming is facilitated. On the other hand, at the time of its use, as shown in FIG.
Since the arm portion 12 is overlapped with the contact wall 11e, the hole 4
It is necessary that a and 8a have a width corresponding to at least the total width of the arms 11 and 12.

Although the illustrated embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
For example, a change can be made to the shapes of the protrusions, flanges, and the like of the arm. The holes for holding the partition plates, that is, the holes for inserting the partition plate holders, may be formed in other side plates 3, 5, 6, and the like. Further, the present invention can be similarly applied to a partition plate provided on a fixed shelf of a steel bookcase in addition to a partition plate of a drawer.

[0025]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, it is possible to insert / extract the partition plate and the side plate into / from the holes and hold and release the partition plate by using the bending of the clip body. In addition, the workability of temporarily holding the partition plate is improved, and a compact, simple, and inexpensive partition plate holder can be provided. In addition, since the partition plate is elastically held, it is possible to provide a partition plate holder that can prevent rattling of the partition plate and can hold the partition plate without rattling even if the number of the partition plates changes.
