【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、並立する脚の下端同士を、水平の接地杆をもって連結した椅子やテーブル等における、床面の保護と滑り止めとを目的とする緩衝体の取付装置及
び方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、並立する脚の下端同士を、水平の接地杆をもって連結した椅子やテーブル等においては、床面を保護するために、また、滑り止めのために、通常、接地杆の両端部に、緩衝体を嵌着し、かつこれを、接地杆に穿設した取付孔にねじ止めしている。
【0003】
しかし、この方法では、取付孔が存在するため、接地杆の強度が低下し、かつ使用中に無理な力が掛かって、緩衝体が接地杆の長手方向に移動したり、あるいは接地杆まわりに回動したりし、甚しい場合には、緩衝体を接地杆から外す方向の大きな外力を受けて、元来、軟質である緩衝体のねじ止め部に負荷が掛かりすぎて、緩衝体が破損することもあった。
【0004】
こうした欠点を解消した水平接地杆における緩衝体取付装置が、既に本出願人による実公昭実60−13388号公報により公知である。
これは、図5および図6に示すように、1個の緩衝体(01)を、接地杆(A)の下半分に嵌着する接地片(02)と、接地杆(A)の上半分に嵌着する押え片(03)との組合わせからなるものとし、この両部材をねじ止めして一体とすることにより、接地杆(A)を緊密に囲繞する緩衝体(01)とするものである。
【0005】
しかしながら、この装置では、1個の緩衝体が2個の部材からなるため、取付作業が面倒であり、したがって組立に多くの時間を要していた。
さらに、押え片(03)および接地片(02)のいずれか一方に、連結片(07)が一体に形成され、かつ他方に、これと係合する縦溝(00)が形成されており、両部材を結合させる際には、材質が軟性である上に摩擦も大きい連結片(07)が、縦溝(00)から浮上がることが多く、従って、これを手で押込みながら、ねじ止め作業を行わなければならず、面倒であった。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記の諸問題を解決するため、接地杆の強度を低下させることはなく、かつ使用中に緩衝体が接地杆の長手方向に沿って移動することはなく、さらに緩衝体が接地杆の周囲を回動することもなく、強固な構造を有し、しかも組立が容易な、椅子等の水平接地杆における緩衝体取付装置及び方法を得ることを目的としている。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の装置においては、一方が、椅子等における脚の水平の接地杆の下部に適合する形状部分を有する接地片である緩衝体であり、他方が、同様に脚の水平な接地杆の上部に適合する形状部分を有する押さえ片である緩衝体であり、前記両緩衝体は、ヒンジを介して一体に形成されており、かつ接地片と押さえ片のいずれか一方の外側中央部に、周面に凹溝を設けた係合片を突設し、同じく他方の外側中央部に、前記係合片が係合しうるとともに、内周面に前記凹溝と係合しうる突条を有する凹陥部を設け、これにより、両緩衝体を、互いに協働させて接地杆を緊密に挟持囲繞させるとともに、前記係合片と凹陥部、およびそれらにおける凹溝と突条とを係合させて、両緩衝体を結合したことを特徴としている。
この場合、両緩衝体相互間の係合部を、加圧と超音波振動によって溶着し易い構造とするのが望ましい。
【0008】
さらに本発明の方法においては、一方が、椅子等における脚の水平の接地杆の下部に適合する形状部分を有する接地片である緩衝体であり、他方が、同様に脚の水平な接地杆の上部に適合する形状部分を有する押さえ片である緩衝体であり、前記両緩衝体はヒンジを介して一体に形成されており、かつ接地片と押さえ片のいずれか一方の外側中央部に、周面に凹溝を設けた係合片を突設し、同じく他方の外側中央部に、前記係合片が係合しうるとともに、内周面に前記凹溝と係合しうる突条を有する凹陥部を設け、これにより、両緩衝体を、互いに協働させて接地杆を緊密に挟持囲繞させるとともに、前記係合片と凹陥部、およびそれらにおける凹溝と突条とを係合させて、両緩衝体を結合し、かつ前記の係合する部分を加圧しつつ、超音波振動を与えることにより、係合部を溶着させることを特徴としている。
【0009】
この場合、両緩衝体相互間の係合部が、加圧と超音波振動によって溶着し易い構造を有しているのが望ましい。
【0010】
【作用】
本発明は、以上の構成のため、各緩衝体は、従来2個に分割されていたものが、一体に形成されているので、取扱いに便利で、一挙動で接地杆に嵌着することが
可能であり、作業能率を高度にあげることができる。
さらに、本発明においては、接地片と押さえ片との結合を、機械的係合に加えて、超音波振動と加圧による溶着を利用しているため、結合用部品も不要であり、外観も美麗である。
【0011】
【実施例】
図1は、本発明の椅子等の水平接地杆における緩衝体取付装置を適用した椅子の正面図、図2は、その正面図、図3は、本発明の椅子等の水平接地杆における緩衝体取付装置の一実施例の開放状態における斜視図、図4は、図3の反対位置から見た、同じく開放状態における斜視図である。
【0012】
図3において、向う側の部分は接地片( 2 ) 、手前の部分(3)は押さえ片( 3 )であって、これら両者は、中間に位置するヒンジ(4)により連結されている。これらを一体に成形する材料としては、例えばポリプロピレンが好ましい。特にヒンジ部分では、折曲げ動作の繰返し運動により、分子の配列が整然となって、益々強靭となるからである。
【0013】
接地片(2)の長手方向の両端部分(5)(5)、ならびに押さえ片(3)の長手方向の両端部分(6)(6)は、それぞれ椅子 ( A ) の水平接地杆と適合する形状をなしている。
【0014】
接地片(2)の外側中央部には係合片(7)が突出しており、その周面の全部または一部には、凹溝(8)が形成されている。一方、押さえ片(3)の外側中央部には、その押さえ片(3)を椅子 ( A ) の水平接地杆に被せたとき、係合片(7)が係合しうる凹陥部(9)が形成されている。また、凹陥部 ( 9 )の内周面の少なくとも一部には、前述の凹溝(8)と係合しうる突条(10)が形成されている。
【0015】
この緩衝材(1)の椅子 ( A ) の水平接地杆への取付けは、次のようにして行われる。
まず、水平接地杆の下面に接地片(2)を当てて、ほぼ密着させた後、押さえ片(3)をヒンジ(4)を中心として上方へ回わし、水平接地杆の上に被せる。さらに力を加えて、凹溝(8)に突条(10)が嵌入するように、押さえ片(3)を接地片 ( 2 ) に押し当てる。
【0016】
この状態で係合片(7)のを中心に超音波振動を与えると、凹溝(8)と突条(10)との接触面は溶着する。
【0017】
なお、前述の係合片(7)を押さえ片(3)側に設け、凹陥部(9)を接地片(2)側に設けても良い。
【0018】
【発明の効果】
本発明によると、従来2個に分割されていた緩衝体が、一体に形成されているので、取扱いに便利で、一挙動で接地杆に嵌着することが可能であり、作業能率を高度にあげることができる。
【0019】
さらに、本発明においては、接地片と押さえ片との結合を、機械的係合に加えて、超音波振動と加圧による溶着を利用しているため、結合用部品も不要であり、外観も美麗となる。
【0020】
また、接地杆に孔をあける必要がないので、接地杆の強度を低下させることはなく、かつ使用中に緩衝体が接地杆の長手方向に沿って移動することもなく、さらに緩衝体が接地杆の周囲を回動することもなく、強固な構造を有し、しかも組立が容易な椅子等の水平接地杆における緩衝体取付装置を得ることができる。
