Identifying device for fluid in pipe

Abstract

The identifier for the fluid in the pipe according to this article is formed in a strip shape. As shown in the reference perspective view and the reference perspective view showing the state of use, a gripping portion 4 is provided on the proximal end side and a bolt insertion portion 5 is provided on the distal end side, respectively. The bolt insertion portion 5 is configured to form a notch 6 into which the straight portion 3 of the U-bolt 2 is inserted laterally, and a pair of locking claws 7, 7 are provided on the opening edge of the notch 6 so as to face each other. This article is configured such that the bolt insertion portion 5 can be elastically deformed in the out-of-plane direction, and by locking or unlocking the locking claws 7, 7 to the peripheral surface of the straight portion 3, it can be detachably attached to the U-bolt 2. This article is configured in a bright color as an appearance associated with the fluid type of the pipe 11 fixed by the U-bolt 2. When attaching this article to the straight portion 3 of the U-bolt 2, hold the gripping portion 4 by hand and, with the whole body tilted with respect to the U-bolt 2, push the notch 6 of the bolt insertion portion 5 toward the side of the U-bolt 2. In this way, the bolt insertion portion 5 is elastically deformed in the out-of-plane direction, the locking claws 7, 7 bend toward opposite sides, and the notch 6 opens in a form in which the interval between the locking claws 7, 7 expands. Thus, the straight portion 3 of the U-bolt 2 fits into the notch, and due to the return of the elastic deformation, the locking claws 7, 7 are locked to the peripheral surface of the straight portion, and this article is attached to the straight portion 3 of the U-bolt 2.
