DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of the wire net and perforated board fixing device according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0016] 1 to 14 show an embodiment of a wire net and perforated board fixing device according to the present disclosure.

[0017] The wire net and perforated board fixing device (hereinafter also referred to as fixing device) according to the present disclosure fixes a wire net 50 and a perforated board 60 to supports 40 installed on a floor surface F.

[0018] First, referring to FIG. 10, the wire net 50 and the perforated board 60 attached to the support 40 will be described.

[0019] As shown in Fig. 10, a tension support 40 extending in the vertical direction is installed between a floor surface F and a ceiling C. This support 40 has a support body 41, and a movable part 43 is attached to an upper part 41b of this support body 41 so as to be movable in the vertical direction.

[0020] The lower end 41a of the support pillar body 41 is placed on the floor surface F, and the upper end 43a of the movable part 43 is pressed against the ceiling C, so that the support pillar 40 is supported in a taut state between the floor surface F and the ceiling C.

[0021] The wire net 50 and perforated board 60 are attached to the support posts 40, which are supported in a tensioned state between the floor F and the ceiling C in this manner, using a wire net and perforated board fixing device (also called a fixing device) 1 according to this embodiment (see Figure 10).

[0022] The wire net 50 and perforated board 60 attached to the support poles 40 are used to hang everyday items or decorations (not shown).

[0023] In this case, the wire net 50 has a rectangular outer frame 51 and wires 52 attached to the outer frame 51 and arranged in a grid pattern.

[0024] In this embodiment, the wires 52 include horizontal wires 52a and vertical wires 52b (see FIG. 9).

[0025] The perforated board 60 has a perforated board body 61, and a large number of holes 62 arranged in a grid pattern are formed in the perforated board body 61 (see FIGS. 6 and 7).

[0026] Everyday items or ornaments are hung from the wires 52 of the wire net 50 using hooks or the like, or are hung in the numerous holes 62 of the perforated board 60 using hooks or the like.

[0027] Next, the structure for attaching the wire net 50 and the perforated board 60 to the support posts 40 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 11, the upper left end of the perforated board 60 is fixed to the support 40 by the fixing device 1.

[0029] As shown in Figure 12, the upper right end of the first (left) perforated board 60 and the upper left end of the second (right) perforated board 60 can also be fixed to the support 40 using the fixing device 1.

[0030] 13, the lower right end of the first (left) perforated board 60 and the lower left end of the second (right) perforated board 60 can also be fixed to the support 40 by the fixing device 1. The upper right end of the first (left) wire net 50 and the upper left end of the second (right) wire net 50 can also be fixed to the support 40 by the fixing device 1.

[0031] 14, the lower left end of the perforated board 60 can be fixed to the support pole 40 by the fixing device 1, and the upper left end of the wire net 50 can be fixed to the support pole 40 by the fixing device 1. The operation of attaching the effective board 60 and the wire net 50 to the support pole 40 will be described later.

[0032] In addition, in this embodiment, "above," "below," "top," "lower," "left side," and "right side" refer to the state in which the support 40 is installed in a tensioned state between the floor F and the ceiling C, and the wire netting 50 and perforated board 60 are fixed to the support 40 by the fixing device 1, as shown in Figure 10.

[0033] Next, the wire net and perforated board fixing device (fixing device) 1 will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 4B.

[0034] The fixing device 1 is for attaching the wire net 50 and the perforated board 60 to the support posts 40 extending vertically from the floor surface F to the ceiling C as described above.

[0035] Such a fixing device 1 comprises a fixing device main body 10 into which a support 40 is inserted, an insertion plate 30 inserted into the fixing device main body 10, a movable body 25 that is movably provided within the fixing device main body 10 and abuts against the support 40, and a pressing tool 20 that presses the movable body 25 against the support 40.

[0036] Of these, the fixing device main body 10 has a support 40 inserted therein, has a base 12 and a pair of legs 11, 11 extending from the base 12, and has an approximately U-shaped configuration in a plan view (see Figure 2 and Figures 3A to 3B).

[0037] Each leg 11 of the fixing device main body 10 is formed with a groove 13 that opens to one side, for example, upward, and this groove 13 has a pair of side surfaces 14a, 14b and a horizontal surface 14c (see Figures 1 and 2). The pair of side surfaces 14a, 14b of the groove 13 consists of the side surface 14a on the opposite side from the base 12 and the side surface 14b on the base 12 side.

[0038] Movable body 25 is provided inside fixing device main body 10 so as to be freely movable along the horizontal direction, and has a curved surface 25a that abuts against support column 40 from the side of base 12. Movable body 25 is also attached to one end of threaded rod 22 that passes through through-hole 12a of base 12, and threaded rod 22 engages with an internal thread formed inside through-hole 12a of base 12.

[0039] A handle 21 is attached to the other end of the threaded rod 22, and by rotating the handle 21, the threaded rod 22 moves forward toward the support column 40. As a result, the curved surface 25a of the movable body 25 presses the support column 40 toward the insertion plate 30.

[0040] In this embodiment, the handle 21 and the threaded rod 22 constitute a pressing tool 20 that presses the movable body 25 against the support 40 side.

[0041] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, each groove 13 of the fixing device main body 10 is provided with a protrusion 16 at the upper opening, which protrudes from the side surface 14a opposite the base 12 toward the inside of the groove 13 (toward the side surface 14b on the base 12 side).

[0042] The insertion plate 30 provided in the fixing device main body 10 is inserted into the groove 13 of the leg 11, and the insertion plate 30 inserted into the groove 13 is positioned between the horizontal surface 14c of the groove 13 and the protrusion 16, and is stably held within the groove 13.

[0043] Next, the insertion plate 30 will be described with reference to Figures 4A and 4B. The insertion plate 30 has an insertion plate body 31 made of a substantially rectangular flat plate, and one long edge (the lower long edge) of the insertion plate body 31 is provided with a recess 32 that engages with the horizontal surfaces 14c of the pair of grooves 13, 13 of the fixing device body 10. When the insertion plate 30 is attached between the pair of grooves 13, 13, the recess 32 of the insertion plate body 31 engages with the horizontal surfaces 14c of the pair of grooves 13, 13, preventing the insertion plate 30 from moving in the width direction W of the fixing device body 10 (see Figure 1). Alternatively, the recess 32 may engage with a pair of protrusions 16, 16 of the fixing device body 10, preventing the insertion plate 30 from moving in the width direction W of the fixing device body 10 when the insertion plate 30 is attached between the pair of grooves 13, 13 (see Figures 6 and 7).

[0044] Furthermore, claws 33 are provided at both ends of the insertion plate 30, protruding toward the base 12 of the fixing device main body 10. These claws 33 protrude toward the base 12 and have the function of being inserted into holes 62 in the perforated board 60 to position the perforated board 60 when the perforated board 60 is attached to the support 40 by the fixing device 1, as will be described later.

[0045] Furthermore, when the wire net 50 is attached to the support 40 by the fixing device 1, the claws 33 engage with the horizontal wires 52a of the wires 52 of the wire net 50, thereby functioning to position the wire net 50. The length of the insertion plate 30 in the left-right direction is longer than the length between the pair of legs 11, 11 of the fixing device main body 10, and the insertion plate 30 protrudes in the left-right direction from the pair of legs 11, 11.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the perforated board 60 is attached to the support 40 using the fixing device 1 , the perforated board body 61 of the perforated board 60 is clamped between the support 40 and the insertion plate 30 of the fixing device 1 .

[0047] Furthermore, when the wire net 50 is attached to the support 40 using the fixing device 1, the horizontal wire 52a of the wire 52 of the wire net 50 is clamped between the side 14a of the groove 13 of the fixing device main body 10 (the side 14a opposite the base 12) and the insertion plate 30.

[0048] Next, the operation of this embodiment having such a configuration will be described.

[0049] First, as shown in Fig. 10, a plurality of, for example, three, support columns 40 are installed extending in the vertical direction between the floor surface F and the ceiling C. Each support column 40 is held in a tensioned state between the floor surface F and the ceiling C.

[0050] Next, two (pairs of) wire nets 50 and two (pairs of) perforated boards 60 are attached to the three support poles 40 using the fixing device 1.

[0051] The operation of attaching a pair of perforated boards 60 using the fixing device 1 will be described with reference to Figures 5 to 9 and Figures 11 to 14. First, as shown in Figures 5 to 8 and Figures 11 to 12, the upper right end of the right perforated board 60 is attached and fixed to the support 40 using the fixing device 1. In this case, the fixing device 1 is loosely inserted into the support 40, and the perforated board 60 is inserted from below into the pair of grooves 13 of the fixing device main body 10 (see Figure 6).

[0052] At this time, the openings of the pair of grooves 13 of the fixing device main body 10 face downward. The insertion plate 30 is placed in advance in the groove 13 and abutted against the side surface 14a opposite the base 12, and the perforated board 60 is inserted into the groove 13 from the downward opening between the support 40 and the insertion plate 30.

[0053] Then, by rotating the handle 21 of the pressing tool 20 to move the movable body 25 and pressing the support 40 with the movable body 25, the perforated board 60 can be firmly fixed between the insertion plate 30 and the support 40 within the groove 13.

[0054] Next, the left perforated board 60 is placed close to the right perforated board 60, and the upper left end of the left perforated board 60 is attached and fixed using the fixing device 1 in the same manner as the right perforated board 60 (see Figures 7 and 11). Here, Figure 6 is a perspective view showing the state where the upper right end of the right perforated board 60 is attached to the support 40. Also, Figures 7 and 11 are perspective views showing the state where the upper left end of the left perforated board 60 is attached to the support 40.

[0055] 6 and 7, the insertion plate 30 provided in the groove 13 of the fixing device main body 10 is positioned in the vertical direction between the horizontal surface 14c of the groove 13 and the protruding pieces 16, and is stably held in the groove 13. In addition, the recessed portion 32 of the insertion plate 30 is engaged with the pair of protruding pieces 16, 16.

[0056] In this way, the recess 32 of the insertion plate 30 engages with the pair of protrusions 16, 16, so the insertion plate 30 does not move in the width direction W of the fixing device main body 10. Therefore, the insertion plate 30 is firmly positioned in the groove 13 of the fixing device main body 10 in the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0057] Furthermore, the insertion plate 30 is placed in the groove 13 of the fixing device body 10, and the claws 33 provided on both ends of the insertion plate 30 are inserted into the holes 62 of each perforated board 60 (see FIGS. 6 and 7).

[0058] In this way, each perforated board 60 is reliably positioned in the vertical and horizontal directions relative to the insertion plate 30, and therefore each perforated board 60 can be reliably positioned in the vertical and horizontal directions relative to the fixing device main body 10 via the insertion plate 30.

[0059] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the right upper end of the right-side perforated board 60 can be attached to the support 40 using the fixing device 1, and the left upper end of the left-side perforated board 60 can be attached to the support 40 using the fixing device 1. Next, as shown in Figure 12, the fixing device 1 is installed so as to straddle a pair of perforated boards 60, 60 arranged close to each other, and the upper ends of the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 are attached to the support 40 using the fixing device 1. In this case, the fixing device 1 is loosely attached to the support 40, and the fixing device 1 is lowered along the support 40, and the upper ends of the pair of perforated boards 60 are inserted into the grooves 13 of the fixing device 1. Next, in the same manner as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the upper ends of the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 are attached to the support 40 using the fixing device 1 arranged so as to straddle the upper ends of the pair of perforated boards 60, 60.

[0060] 12, the upper ends of two perforated boards 60, 60 are clamped between the insertion plate 30 of the fixing device 1 and the support 40, and fixed to the support 40. In this case, one of the pair of claws 33 of the insertion plate 30 is inserted into the hole 62 of the perforated board 60 on the left side, and the other is inserted into the hole 62 of the perforated board 60 on the right side. In this way, the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 are positioned and fixed to the fixing device 1.

[0061] The order in which the upper ends of the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 are attached to the support 40 is not limited to the above-mentioned operation, and the fixing device 1 may first be positioned so as to straddle the upper ends of the pair of perforated boards 60, 60, and then the upper ends of the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 may be attached to the support 40 using this fixing device 1. In this case, the upper right end of the right perforated board 60 is then attached to the support 40, and the upper left end of the left perforated board 60 is then attached to the support 40.

[0062] Next, the right lower end of the right perforated board 60, the left lower end of the left perforated board 60, and the lower ends of the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 are sequentially attached to the support 40 by the fixing device 1 in the same manner as described above. Note that the order in which the right lower end of the right perforated board 60, the left lower end of the left perforated board 60, and the lower ends of the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 are attached to the support 40 is not limited to this order. Of these, the action of attaching and fixing the lower ends of the pair of perforated boards 60 to the support 40 by the fixing device 1 will be described with reference to Figure 9.

[0063] First, the fixing device 1 is loosely inserted into the support 40 , and the fixing device 1 is raised along the support 40 , and the perforated board 60 is inserted into the pair of grooves 13 of the fixing device body 10 .

[0064] In this case, the openings of the pair of grooves 13 of the fixing device main body 10 face upward. The insertion plate 30 is placed in advance in the groove 13 against the side surface 14a opposite the base 12, and the perforated board 60 is inserted into the groove 13 from the upward opening between the support 40 and the insertion plate 30. The recesses 32 of the insertion plate 30 engage with the pair of protrusions 16, 16.

[0065] Then, by rotating the handle 21 of the pressing tool 20 to move the movable body 25 and pressing the movable body 25 against the support 40, the lower ends of the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 can be firmly fixed between the insertion plate 30 and the support 40 within the groove 13 (see Figure 9).

[0066] In this case, the insertion plate 30 provided in the groove 13 of the fixing device body 10 is positioned in the vertical direction between the horizontal surface 14 c of the groove 13 and the protruding piece 16 , and is stably held in the groove 13 .

[0067] Furthermore, since the recess 32 of the insertion plate 30 engages with the pair of protrusions 16, 16, the insertion plate 30 does not move in the width direction W of the fixing device main body 10. Therefore, the insertion plate 30 is firmly positioned in the groove 13 of the fixing device main body 10 in the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0068] Furthermore, the insertion plate 30 is placed in the groove 13 of the fixing device body 10, and the claws 33 provided on both ends of the insertion plate 30 are inserted into the holes 62 of the perforated board 60 (see FIG. 9).

[0069] As a result of the above, the perforated board 60 is reliably positioned in the vertical and horizontal directions relative to the insertion plate 30, and therefore the perforated board 60 can be reliably positioned in the vertical and horizontal directions relative to the fixing device main body 10 via the insertion plate 30.

[0070] In this manner, in this embodiment, the right lower end of the right perforated board 60, the left lower end of the left perforated board 60, and the lower ends of the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 can be attached to the support 40 using the fixing device 1 (see Figures 9, 10, 13 and 14).

[0071] In this case, as shown in Figures 9, 10 and 13, a fixing device 1 is installed so as to straddle a pair of perforated boards 60, 60 arranged close to each other, and the lower ends of the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 are attached to the support 40 by the fixing device 1. In addition, the lower right end of the right perforated board 60 and the lower left end of the left perforated board 60 are attached to the support 40 by the fixing device 1 (see Figures 10, 13 and 14).

[0072] As described above, as shown in FIG. 9 , the lower ends of the pair of perforated boards 60 are sandwiched between the insertion plate 30 of the fixing device 1 and the support 40, and fixed to the support 40. In this case, one of the pair of claws 33 of the insertion plate 30 is inserted into the hole 62 of the left perforated board 60, and the other is inserted into the hole 62 of the right perforated board 60. In this way, the pair of perforated boards 60 are positioned and fixed to the fixing device 1. Furthermore, the length of the insertion plate 30 in the left-right direction is longer than the length between the pair of legs 11 of the fixing device main body 10, and the insertion plate 30 protrudes in the left-right direction from the pair of legs 11. Therefore, when the pair of perforated boards 60 are fixed to the support 40 with the fixing device 1, the insertion plate 30 protrudes in the left-right direction from the pair of legs 11, and therefore the pair of perforated boards 60 can be stably fixed by the insertion plate 30 protruding in the left-right direction from the pair of legs 11. That is, in Fig. 10, for example, it is possible to remove the insertion plate 30 and fix the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 to the support 40 with the fixing device 1 using only the fixing device main body 10. In this case, the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 are held down by the pair of legs 11, 11, and it is difficult to hold down the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 strongly, and it is conceivable that the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 will separate from the central support 40 in Fig. 10. When the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 separate from the central support 40, when the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 are viewed in a plan view, the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 will assume a shape that is bent at the central support 40. In contrast to this, according to this embodiment, when the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 are fixed to the support 40 by the fixing device 1, the flat insertion plates 30 protrude in the left-right direction from the pair of legs 11, 11, so the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 can be firmly held down over a wide area in the left-right direction by the flat insertion plates 30, and the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 will not separate from the central support 40. For this reason, when the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 are viewed in a plan view, the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 will not bend at the central support 40 and will remain straight.

[0073] Next, the operation of attaching and fixing a pair of wire nets 50 to the support poles 40 using the fixing device 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9, 10, 13 and 14. FIG.

[0074] First, the upper right end of the right-side wire net 50, the upper left end of the left-side wire net 50, and the upper ends of the pair of wire nets 50, 50 are attached to the support 40 in this order using the fixing device 1. Note that the order in which the upper ends of the wire nets 50, 50 are attached to the support 40 does not have to be limited to the above order.

[0075] Next, the right lower end of the right wire net 50, the left lower end of the left wire net 50, and the lower ends of the pair of wire nets 50, 50 are attached to the support 40 in this order using the fixing device 1. Note that the order in which the lower ends of the wire nets 50, 50 are attached to the support 40 does not have to be limited to the above order.

[0076] The operation of attaching the upper ends of a pair of wire nets 50 to the support poles 40 using the fixing device 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 9. First, as shown in Fig. 9, the fixing device 1 is loosely inserted into the support poles 40, and the horizontal wires 52a of the wire net 50 are inserted from above into the pair of grooves 13 in the fixing device main body 10.

[0077] In this case, the openings of the pair of grooves 13 of the fixing device main body 10 face upward. The insertion plate 30 is placed in advance in the groove 13 and abutted against the support posts 40, and the horizontal wire 52a is inserted from the upward opening into the groove 13, between the insertion plate 30 and the side surface 14a of the groove 13 opposite the base 12.

[0078] Thereafter, the handle 21 of the pressing tool 20 is rotated to move the movable body 25, which then presses against the support 40, thereby firmly clamping the support 40 between the movable body 25 and the insertion plate 30. This allows the fixing device 1 to be fixed to the support 40, and at the same time, the horizontal wire 52a can be firmly fixed within the groove 13 between the insertion plate 30 and the side surface 14a opposite the base 12 of the groove 13 (see Figures 9 and 13 to 14).

[0079] In this case, the insertion plate 30 provided in the groove 13 of the fixing device body 10 is positioned in the vertical direction between the horizontal surface 14 c of the groove 13 and the protruding piece 16 , and is stably held in the groove 13 .

[0080] Furthermore, since the recesses 32 of the insertion plate 30 engage with the horizontal surfaces 14c of the pair of grooves 13, 13, the insertion plate 30 does not move in the width direction W of the fixing device main body 10. Therefore, the insertion plate 30 is firmly positioned in the grooves 13 of the fixing device main body 10 in the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0081] Furthermore, the insertion plate 30 is placed in the groove 13 of the fixing device body 10, and the horizontal wire 52a can also be supported by the claws 33 provided on both ends of the insertion plate 30.

[0082] From the above, the horizontal wire 52a is reliably positioned in the vertical and horizontal directions relative to the insertion plate 30, and therefore the horizontal wire 52a can be reliably positioned in the vertical and horizontal directions relative to the fixing device main body 10 via the insertion plate 30.

[0083] In this embodiment, the horizontal wire 52a can be attached to the support 40 using a fixing device 1 (see FIG. 9).

[0084] In the usage mode shown in FIG. 9 , the horizontal wire 52a at the upper end of the pair of wire nets 50, 50 is clamped between the insertion plate 30 and the side surface 14a opposite the base 12 of the groove 13 and fixed to the support 40. In this case, as described above, one of the pair of claws 33 of the insertion plate 30 may support the horizontal wire 52a of the left wire net 50, and the other may support the horizontal wire 52a of the right wire net 50. Furthermore, the length of the insertion plate 30 in the left-right direction is longer than the length between the pair of legs 11, 11 of the fixing device main body 10, and the insertion plate 30 protrudes in the left-right direction from the pair of legs 11, 11. Therefore, when the pair of wire nets 50, 50 are fixed to the support 40 using the fixing device 1, the insertion plate 30 protrudes in the left-right direction from the pair of legs 11, 11, so that the pair of wire nets 50, 50 can be stably fixed by the insertion plate 30 protruding in the left-right direction from the pair of legs 11, 11. 10, for example, it is possible to remove the insertion plate 30 and fix the pair of wire nets 50, 50 to the support 40 with the fixing device 1 using only the fixing device main body 10. In this case, the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 are pressed down by the pair of legs 11, 11, making it difficult to firmly press down the pair of wire nets 50, 50, and it is conceivable that the pair of wire nets 50, 50 will separate from the central support 40 in FIG. 10. When the pair of wire nets 50, 50 separate from the central support 40, the pair of wire nets 50, 50 will assume a shape that is bent at the central support 40 when viewed in a plan view. In contrast, according to the present embodiment, when the pair of wire nets 50, 50 are fixed to the support 40 by the fixing device 1, the flat insertion plates 30 protrude in the left-right direction from the pair of legs 11, 11, so that the pair of wire nets 50, 50 can be firmly held down over a wide area in the left-right direction by the flat insertion plates 30, and the pair of wire nets 50, 50 will not come off the central support 40. Therefore, when the pair of wire nets 50, 50 are viewed in a plan view, the pair of perforated boards 60, 60 will not bend at the central support 40 and will remain straight.

[0085] 9, a pair of wire nets 50 are arranged close to each other, a fixing device 1 is installed so as to straddle the pair of wire nets 50, 50, and the horizontal wires 52a at the upper ends of the pair of wire nets 50 can be attached to the support pole 40 by the fixing device 1. Similarly, the horizontal wires 52a at the lower ends of the pair of wire nets 50, 50, the upper and lower right ends of the right wire net 50, and the upper and lower left ends of the left wire net 50 can be attached to the support pole 40 by the fixing device 1 (see FIGS. 10, 13, and 14). When the wire net 50 is attached to the support pole 40 using the fixing device 1, the openings of the pair of grooves 13 in the fixing device main body 10 always face upward.

[0086] As described above, according to this embodiment, the fixing device 1 of this embodiment can be used to easily and reliably fix the perforated board 60 and the wire net 50 to the support 40 that is arranged in a tensioned state between the floor F and the ceiling C. In this case, a single fixing device 1 can be used to fix one perforated board 60 or one wire net 50 to the support 40, or a single fixing device 1 can be used to fix a pair of adjacent perforated boards 60, 60 or a pair of wire nets 50, 50 together to the support 40.

[0087] Furthermore, when fixing a perforated board 60 to a support 40 using the fixing device 1, the perforated board 60 can be sandwiched and fixed between the support 40 and the insertion plate 30, which is a rectangular flat plate. In this case, the insertion plate 30 fits between the protrusion 16 provided in the groove 13 of the fixing device main body 10 and the horizontal surface 14c, and the thickness of the insertion plate 30 and the protrusion height toward the base 12 of the protrusion 16 are approximately the same. This allows the perforated board 60 to be securely held down by the insertion plate 30, which is a flat plate, and the perforated board 60 will not be damaged by the protrusion 16. Furthermore, because the recess 32 of the insertion plate 30 engages with the protrusion 16 in the groove 13 of the fixing device main body 10, the insertion plate 30 will not shift in the width direction W relative to the fixing device main body 10. Furthermore, because the support 40 is pressed by the curved surface 25a of the movable body 25 of the fixing device 1, the fixing device 1 can be firmly fixed to the support 40. Furthermore, since the pair of claws 33 of the insertion plate 30 are inserted into the holes 62 of the perforated board 60 , the perforated board 60 can be reliably positioned relative to the support 40 .

[0088] On the other hand, when the wire net 50 is fixed to the support 40 using the fixing device 1, the horizontal wires 52a of the wire net 50 can be clamped and fixed between the side surface 14a opposite the base 12 of the groove 13 of the fixing device main body 10 and the insertion plate 30, which is a rectangular flat plate. In this case, the horizontal wires 52a of the wire net 50 can be held down by the insertion plate 30, which is a flat plate, without damaging the horizontal wires 52a. Furthermore, because the recesses 32 of the insertion plate 30 engage with the horizontal surfaces 14c of the grooves 13 of the fixing device main body 10, the insertion plate does not shift in the width direction W relative to the fixing device main body 10. Furthermore, because the support 40 is pressed by the curved surface 25a of the movable body 25 of the fixing device 1, the fixing device 1 can be firmly fixed to the support 40.
