Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for stabilizing a standing object such as a partition panel or a display fixture.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as such a stable leg of a partition panel or the like, it has been known to be provided on a panel plate as shown in FIG. In this case, since the panel plate is straight, it is common to install the stabilizer legs so as to be orthogonal to the width direction of the panel plate as shown in FIG.

However, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the stabilizer legs are provided on a curved panel plate or a straight panel plate having a different curvature, the stability and the appearance are not achieved if the installation angle is only a right angle to the panel plate. It cannot be said that it can be installed at the ideal angle above.

[0004] Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 5-3605 discloses a stabilizer panel rotatably attached to a partition panel.

[0005] However, in the case of the above-mentioned publication, since the stable leg is rotatable, the angle must be adjusted by visual inspection. There is a possibility that the stable leg is easily rotated by hitting the leg. In each case, a great deal of effort is required to return the shifted angle to the original angle. In the worst case, the stabilizer legs may be parallel to the panel plate, and the partition panel may fall.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to easily set a stable leg on a screen panel or a display fixture at a plurality of ideal angles. It is an object of the present invention to provide a stabilizing foot device for an upright.

[0007]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above-mentioned solution, at least one opening is formed at the lower end of an upright such as a partition panel or a display fixture, and a through hole is formed in a vertical direction. The through hole has a concave groove or a vertical groove communicating with the through hole, or both the concave groove and the vertical groove, and a fitting that fits inside the opening and a fitting that fits inside the through hole. A stable leg comprising a pillar having a convex body and a base body to which the pillar is fixed vertically, and the stable body is installed on the standing object by attaching and detaching the convex body to the concave groove or the vertical groove. An upright stable leg device that can change the angle is constructed.

[0008] More specifically, the vertical groove communicating with the through hole provided in the fixture is configured to be wider in the outer peripheral direction than the inner periphery of the fixture.
