Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a joint member used for manufacturing wire shelves such as an inner shelf of a sink.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a shelf used as an inner shelf of a sink, a plurality of wire rods are arranged in parallel with each other to form a shelf surface, and both end portions of these wire rods are connected with a connecting member (wire rod). A structure supported by legs integrally formed with this is proposed (for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-3516).
No. 1).

According to the inner shelf of the proposed sink,
Since it is entirely made of wire, it has the advantages of being lightweight and easy to handle.

[0004]

By the way, the inner shelf of the sink is sold as a general purpose product for an existing sink, but the volume and shape of the storage space of the sink differ depending on each manufacturer. Since the sizes preferred by users have been diversified, it is necessary to have various sizes in stock, which has been a factor that causes a high cost in the past. Further, there is a disadvantage that a large exclusive space is required to display shelves of various sizes in the sales floor.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a joint member for a shelf (made of wire) capable of providing a shelf of various sizes at a low price. To do.

[0006]

The structure for achieving the above object will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 corresponding to an embodiment. The present invention is arranged to form a shelf surface. A member used for connecting the ends of a plurality of wire rods 1 ... 1 and used for connecting the wire rods 2b.
Is provided corresponding to the arrangement pitch of the wire rods 1 ... 1 and the holes 2d used for mounting the shelf support legs 3,
The shelf is characterized in that the lateral member 1 of the structure frame is provided with a groove 2e that is hooked from above.

[0007]

The shelf is assembled by inserting the end portion (bent portion) 1b of the wire rod 1 into the hole 2b of the joint member 2 and the leg 3 into the hole 2d. By preparing different shapes and sizes, shelves of any size can be assembled.

[0008]

1 is an external perspective view showing the structure of an embodiment of the present invention. Further, FIG. 2 is a partial detailed view of the embodiment, in which (a)
Is a vertical cross-sectional view cut along the center of the wire rod 1, (b)
FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG.

First, the shelf of this example includes a plurality of wire rods 1 ...
And a pair of joint members 2 that connect both ends of each wire 1 and legs 3 that support each joint member 2. Each of the wire rods 1 is used to form a shelf surface, and a linear portion 1a forming the shelf surface and bent portions 1b at both ends thereof are integrally formed.

Now, for the joint member 2, the wire 1
2b into which the bent portion 1b of the wire rod is inserted, and the groove 2a into which the end of the straight portion 1a of the wire rod (near the bending angle) is fitted correspond to the arrangement pitch of the wire rods 1 forming the shelf surface. Is provided.

Further, the joint member 2 is integrally formed with boss members 2c at the front and rear ends thereof. Each boss 2c is provided with a hole 2d for inserting the upper end portion of the leg 3 made of a wire rod.

Further, the front and rear edges of the joint member 2 are provided with hooking grooves 2e which are notched in a round shape. In the embodiment of the present invention, the shelf is assembled by inserting the bent portion 1b of the wire 1 into the hole 2b on the upper surface of the joint member 2 and inserting the leg 3 into the hole 2d of the boss portion 2c. Those wire rods 1
By changing the shape and dimensions of the leg 3 and, for example, FIG.
As shown in (a) and (b), shelves of arbitrary height and width can be assembled.

Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the hooking groove 2e provided in the joint member 2 is utilized, for example, as shown in FIG.
As shown in, it is also possible to hook the joint member 2 on the lateral member (wire material) 11 of the storage shelf frame 10 installed separately from the shelf of this embodiment for use.

In the above embodiment, the groove 2a provided in the joint member 2 functions to prevent the wire rod 1 from rattling by restricting the rotation of the wire rod 1.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention,
When assembling shelves of various sizes, the joint member can be used as a common item, so by simply aligning the wire rod (for shelf surface formation) and legs of a simple structure according to various sizes, the volume of the storage space It is possible to provide a shelf having a shape and a size according to the user's preference. As a result, it is possible to reduce the unit price per shelf. Further, since the wire rod, the leg, and the joint member can be displayed in a disassembled state in the disassembled state, even if various sizes are prepared, the exclusive space thereof is small.

Furthermore, since the joint member of the present invention is provided with a groove for hooking, it is possible to use the assembled shelf in combination with another storage shelf frame. In this case, it is possible to achieve the effect that the installation space for either one of the pair of legs of the shelf is unnecessary and the storage space is correspondingly widened.
