DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] Hereinafter, a life rope pole support device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0017] First, the structure of a life rope post support tool 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4. Figure 1 is an external perspective view of the life rope post support tool 1. Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the life rope post support tool 1. Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of a main plate 2, a handle 8, and a pair of guide bars 7. Figure 4 is a side view of the life rope post support tool 1.

[0018] The life rope post support 1 shown in Figures 1, 2 and 4 is attached to the flange F (see Figures 5 to 7) of the H-shaped steel H (see Figures 5 to 7) that serves as scaffolding at a construction site, etc., when the width of the flange F (see Figures 5 to 7) is small, and supports the life rope post S (see Figures 5 to 7) while supplementing the width of the flange F (see Figures 5 to 7). Note that the life rope posts S (see Figures 5 to 7) are used in pairs, and a life rope that is connected to the safety belt worn by the worker at height via a connecting belt is spanned between the life rope posts S (see Figures 5 to 7).

[0019] Specifically, the life rope pole support 1 comprises a main plate 2, a cover plate 3, a subplate 4, a pair of bolts 5, a pair of nuts 6, a pair of guide bars (guide means) 7, and a handle 8.

[0020] The main plate 2 shown in Figures 1 to 4 is made by processing a rectangular stainless steel plate, and is placed on the upper surface of a flange F (see Figures 5 to 7) of an H-shaped steel H (see Figures 5 to 7) so as to protrude from the flange F (see Figures 5 to 7) on one side in the width direction of the flange F (see Figures 5 to 7).

[0021] This main plate 2 has a pair of first through holes 21 at positions protruding from a flange F (see Figures 5 to 7) of the H-shaped steel H (see Figures 5 to 7) and spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the flange F (see Figures 5 to 7).

[0022] In addition, the main plate 2 has two pairs of guide bar mounting holes 22 for mounting a pair of guide bars 7 at positions spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal and width directions of the flange F (see Figures 5 to 7) of the H-shaped steel H (see Figures 5 to 7), and also has a pair of handle mounting holes 23 for mounting a handle 8 at positions spaced apart from each other in the width direction of the flange F (see Figures 5 to 7).

[0023] Furthermore, the main plate 2 is configured in an L-shape when viewed from the side by bending the other widthwise end portion downward so as to wrap around the other widthwise end portion of the flange F (see Figures 5 to 7) of the H-shaped steel H (see Figures 5 to 7).

[0024] The cover plate 3 shown in Figures 1, 2 and 4 is made by processing a rectangular stainless steel plate, and is placed on the upper surface of the main plate 2 so that it protrudes from the flange F (see Figures 5 to 7) of the H-shaped steel H (see Figures 5 to 7) on one side in the width direction.

[0025] This cover plate 3 has a pair of second through holes 31 at positions protruding from the flange F (see Figures 5 to 7) of the H-shaped steel H (see Figures 5 to 7) and spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the flange F (see Figures 5 to 7), i.e., at positions connected to the pair of first through holes 21.

[0026] In addition, the cover plate 3 has a pair of guide bar slits 32 at positions overlapping with a pair of guide bars 7 attached to the main plate 2, and has a handle slit 33 at a position overlapping with a handle 8 attached to the main plate 2.

[0027] The sub-plate 4 is made by processing a rectangular stainless steel plate, and is placed on the underside of the flange F (see Figures 5 to 7) of the H-shaped steel H (see Figures 5 to 7) so that it protrudes from the flange F (see Figures 5 to 7) to one side in the width direction.

[0028] This sub-plate 4 has a pair of third through holes 41 at positions protruding from the flange F (see Figures 5 to 7) of the H-shaped steel H (see Figures 5 to 7) and spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the flange F (see Figures 5 to 7), i.e., at positions connected to each of the pair of first through holes 21.

[0029] The pair of bolts 5 are passed through the pair of first guide holes 21, the pair of second guide holes 31, and the pair of third guide holes 41. Specifically, the pair of bolts 5 are each passed through one of the pair of first guide holes 21, and the second guide hole 31 and the third guide hole 41 connected to the first guide hole 21.

[0030] A pair of nuts 6 are fitted onto each of the pair of bolts 5 .

[0031] A pair of guide bars 7 shown in Figures 1 to 4 are positioned above the cover plate 3, and limit the movement in the width direction of the flanges F (see Figures 5 to 7) of the fastening bolts B (see Figures 5 to 7) of the life rope posts S (see Figures 5 to 7) when the life rope posts S (see Figures 5 to 7) are installed. The pair of guide bars 7 are fitted into two pairs of guide bar mounting holes 22 in the main plate 2, and then fixed by welding.

[0032] The handle 8 is located above the cover plate 3. The handle 8 is fitted into a pair of handle mounting holes 23 in the main plate 2 and then fixed by welding.

[0033] Next, a method of using the life rope pole support 1 will be described with reference to Figs. 5 to 7. Fig. 5 is a diagram of the life rope pole support 1 in use, showing the state before it is attached to the flange F of the H-shaped steel H. Fig. 6 is a diagram of the life rope pole support 1 in use, showing the state before it supports the life rope pole S. Fig. 7 is a diagram of the life rope pole support 1 in use, showing the state after it supports the life rope pole S.

[0034] First, the life rope pole support 1 is attached to the flange F of the H-shaped steel H after the distance between the main plate 2 and the sub-plate 3 has been widened (see Fig. 5 → Fig. 6). The life rope pole support 1 is attached to the flange F of the H-shaped steel H to compensate for the width of the flange F (see Fig. 6). After that, the life rope pole S is attached to the flange F of the H-shaped steel H to which the life rope pole support 1 is attached.

[0035] As described above, the life rope pole support 1 can be easily disassembled by removing each of the pair of nuts 6 from each of the pair of bolts 5. Therefore, the life rope pole support 1 can easily replace the cover plate 3, which is easily damaged when fastened to the flange F of the H-shaped steel H by the fastening bolt B of the life rope pole S. This makes it possible to provide a life rope pole support 1 that is suitable for repeated rental.

[0036] In addition, according to the life rope pillar support device 1, the main plate 2 is configured in an L-shape when viewed from the side so as to wrap around the other widthwise end of the flange F, so that when the flange F of the H-shaped steel H is attached and the life rope pillar S is supported, it is possible to prevent it from falling off from the flange F of the H-shaped steel.

[0037] In addition, the life rope post support device 1 is provided with a pair of guide bars 7 that limit the widthwise movement of the fastening bolt B of the life rope post S, making it easy to install the life rope post S.

[0038] In addition, since the life rope pole support 1 is provided with a handle 8, it can be easily attached to and detached from the flange F of the H-shaped steel H.

[0039] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and technical concept of the present invention. In other words, the position, size, length, number, shape, material, etc. of each component can be appropriately changed. [Explanation of symbols]
