Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fitting used when attaching various devices to, for example, a flange of a general steel section or a lip-channel steel section. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 describes a mounting bracket for attaching various devices to structures made of general steel sections or lip-channel steel sections. This mounting bracket is primarily fixed to the flanges of steel sections, and various components L, pipes, and other components P are attached to the bottom or sides of this mounting bracket.

[0003] That is, it comprises a metal fitting body 1 having a generally U-shaped side surface that clamps the flange of the shaped steel, and a fastening screw 6 that fixes this metal fitting body 1 to the flange. When suspending various members L below the flange, a suspending member 27 is connected with a connecting screw 26 that penetrates the lower side surface of the metal fitting body 1, and the various members L are suspended from this suspending member 27.

[0004] Furthermore, when fixing the pipe or other items P to the side surface of the flange, the pipe or other items P are fixed using a metal fitting body 10 of a different shape having a connection port formed on the side surface.

[0005] Meanwhile, a mounting bracket used when installing a device such as a detector is shown in Patent Document 2. This mounting bracket is particularly a mounting bracket fixed to a hanging bolt P. That is, a connecting body 20 is bent in a roughly V-shape on the side, and an upper notch 21 and a lower notch 22 that engage with the upper and lower sides of the hanging bolt P are formed in this connecting body 20, and the elastic force of the connecting body 20 fixes it to the hanging bolt P.

[0006] A support 10 is formed extending from the lower end of the connector 20, and a sensor attachment tool Q2 is connected to the support 10 to mount the sensor Q thereon. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0007] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-61695 [Patent Document 2] JP 2010-271976 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] The conventional mounting bracket described in Patent Document 1 requires the selection of bracket bodies 1, 10 of different shapes depending on whether various components L are suspended under shaped steel or whether pipe materials or other materials P are attached to the side of the shaped steel. Therefore, it was not possible to fix various components L or pipe materials or other materials P in different positions using a single mounting bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, even in a configuration that uses a connecting body 20 fixed to a hanging bolt P, such as the mounting bracket described in Patent Document 2, the position at which the fixture Q is attached to the connecting body 20 is determined as a fixed position, so it is not possible to fix the fixture Q, etc., to a different position on the same mounting bracket.

[0010] The present invention was created to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a mounting bracket that can be used to fix various devices, components, etc. in different positions when attaching them to structures such as structural steel. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] In order to achieve the above object, the first means of the present invention is a mounting bracket having a bracket body 1 having a substantially U-shaped side surface that clamps a part of a structure, and a fastening screw 4 that fixes the bracket body 1 to the structure, A connecting body 2 made up of at least three sides of a rectangular bottom cylinder is formed at the bottom of the metal fitting body 1, and a connecting portion 3 is formed on each side of the connecting body 2.

[0012] The metal fitting body 1 of the second means has a tabletop 1A and left and right side plates 1B formed on the left and right sides of the tabletop 1A, and the connecting body 2 has at least one front / rear side portion 2A and left and right side portions 2B.

[0013] The connecting portion 3 of the third means is formed so as to face in all four directions of the metal fitting body 1 with the metal fitting body 1 as the center.

[0014] The fourth means is to connect a mounting fixture to the connecting portion 3 with a connecting screw Q2.

[0015] The fifth means is a mounting fixture, which is an equipment mounting fixture Q1 for fixing an equipment such as a sensor or a lighting fixture, or a cable support R. Effect of the Invention

[0016] According to the present invention, a connecting body 2 with a square bottom surface is formed at the bottom of the metal fitting body 1, and connecting parts 3 are formed on each surface of the connecting body 2, so that the metal fitting can be attached regardless of the inclination direction of the steel material, and even if there is an obstacle, other connecting parts 3 can be used, increasing the possibility of avoiding the obstacle. Furthermore, the mounting position of the equipment can be changed relative to the mounting fitting. Also, one mounting fitting can be used for mounting various equipment to general steel sections and lip-channel steel sections.

[0017] Moreover, since the connecting portion 3 is structured to fix the various instruments with a single tapping screw, it is possible to freely change the inclination of the various instruments by using the tapping screw as a fixed axis. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0019] The main components of the mounting bracket of the present invention comprise a bracket main body 1, a connecting body 2, a connecting portion 3, and a fastening screw 4 (see Figure 1), and the bracket main body 1 and the connecting body 2 are formed integrally by bending a single steel plate (see Figure 5).

[0020] The metal fitting body 1 is a part with a roughly U-shaped side that clamps a part of a structure, for example a flange S1 of a shaped steel S, and is equipped with a fastening screw 4 that penetrates a top plate 1A of the metal fitting body 1 (see Fig. 1). The metal fitting body 1 is formed with a clamping opening 1C that clamps the flange S1, etc., and the fastening screw 4 presses the flange S1 inserted into the clamping opening 1C.

[0021] The connector 2 is a rectangular cylindrical section formed on the lower part of the metal fitting main body 1 (see FIG. 4). And, a connecting portion 3 is formed on each surface of this connector 2. The illustrated connecting portion 3 is formed as a pilot hole for inserting a tapping screw (see FIG. 3). Also, the configuration of the connecting portion 3 is not limited to the pilot hole shape of the illustrated example, and the number, shape, position, etc. of the connecting portion 3 can be changed as desired depending on the tool or member to be connected to the connector 2.

[0022] Furthermore, the connecting body 2 has front and rear side surface portions 2A and left and right side surface portions 2B (see FIG. 3). The front and rear side surface portions 2A shown in the figure are formed by bending the left and right side surface portions 2B, respectively, and the front and rear side surface portions 2A form a double structure in which the front and rear portions of the left and right side surface portions 2B overlap. In other words, a pilot hole-shaped connecting portion 3 is formed to penetrate the double overlapping front and rear side surface portions 2A.

[0023] In addition, abutment pieces 2C are formed at the boundaries between the connecting body 2 and the left and right side plates 1B (see FIG. 2). The abutment pieces 2C are placed against the lower surface of the flange S1 of the various shaped steel S, and the upper surface of the flange S1 is fixed with fastening screws 4 (see FIG. 7).

[0024] 5(a) to (d) show the process of bending the mounting fitting of the present invention. The fitting body 1 and the connector 2 of the present invention are continuously formed on a flat, substantially rectangular metal plate (see FIG. 5(a)).

[0025] The metal fitting body 1 is formed with a top plate 1A formed in the center of a metal plate, and left and right side plates 1B formed on the left and right sides of the top plate 1A. For convenience, in the illustrated example, the left and right side plates 1B are formed at the top and bottom of the figure (see FIG. 1(A)). Then, a clamping opening 1C is formed along the left and right side plates 1B.

[0026] The connecting body 2 extends from the left and right side plates 1B, and the front and rear side portions 2A are integrally formed with the front and rear portions of the left and right side portions 2B (see FIG. 1(A)). Abutment pieces 2C are formed on the connecting body 2 side at the boundary between the left and right side plates 1B and the connecting body 2, and each abutment piece 2C is bent vertically (see FIG. 1(B)).

[0027] Furthermore, the front and rear side surface portions 2A are bent from the front and rear of each of the left and right side surface portions 2B (see FIG. 1(c)). In this state, the left and right side plates 1B of the metal fitting main body 1 are bent from the top plate 1A to form the mounting metal fitting (see FIG. 1(d)). At this time, one of the left and right side surface portions 2B is configured to overlap the inside of the other left and right side surface portion 2B (see FIG. 3). Then, pilot hole-shaped connecting portions 3 are formed in the overlapping left and right side surface portions 2B.

[0028] Fig. 6 shows the state in which the fixture attachment Q1 is connected to the connecting body 2. That is, a connecting screw Q2 made of a tapping screw is inserted into the fixture attachment Q1 and fixed to the connecting part 3 of the connecting body 2. Then, a fixture Q such as a sensor or a lighting fixture is fixed to this fixture attachment Q1 (see Fig. 7).

[0029] At this time, since the fixture attachment Q1 is connected to the connecting part 3 by one connecting screw Q2, the angle of the fixture Q can be changed together with the fixture attachment Q1 around this connecting screw Q2 (see FIG. 8). As a result, even if the shaped steel S is inclined in the longitudinal direction or when viewed from the cross-sectional direction, it can be used according to the inclination of the shaped steel S. In other words, even if the shaped steel S is inclined, the fixture Q can be attached vertically to the ground. Moreover, since the connecting part 3 is formed on each surface forming the flat rectangular tube shape of the connector 2, it is also possible to change the attachment position of the fixture Q by changing the position of the connecting part 3 to be attached. As a result, even if the attachment position or attachment angle of the fixture Q is changed, the mounting bracket of the present invention can be used.

[0030] The installation position of the connecting part 3 in the connecting body 2 is preferably such that when a mounting fixture such as the appliance mounting fixture Q1 is attached to the connecting part 3, the mounting fixture itself and the member attached to that mounting fixture do not interfere with the structure such as shaped steel and other parts of the mounting bracket of the present invention. It is preferable to install the mounting fixture in a position where the mounting fixture itself and the member attached to that mounting fixture do not interfere with the structure such as steel material and other parts of the mounting bracket of the present invention even if the mounting angle of the mounting fixture is changed.

[0031] In the above embodiment, the connector 2 is a rectangular tubular part formed on the lower part of the metal fitting main body 1, but it may be a part composed of at least three of the four faces of the rectangular tubular part. In this case, the three faces may be one front / rear side part 2A and two left / right side parts 2B.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the instrument attachment Q1 is exemplified as the attachment to be attached in the present invention, but the cable support R may be used as the attachment. FIG. 9 shows the state in which the cable support R is connected to the connecting body 2. That is, the connecting screw is inserted into the screw hole of the cable support R and fixed to the connecting part 3 of the connecting body 2. Then, a cable or the like is placed on this cable support R. Since the cable support R can be fixed to the connecting part 3 at any angle, the cable or the like can be arranged at any angle. In addition, since the cable support R can be fixed to the connecting part 3 at any location, the cable or the like can be arranged while avoiding obstacles. Note that the cable support R is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. 9, and various attachments capable of supporting the cable or the like can be used. Here, the cable or the like includes a long body such as a pipe. A cable tie may also be used as the attachment.

[0033] In the present invention, a connecting body 2 with a rectangular bottom surface is formed at the bottom of the metal fitting body 1, and connecting parts 3 are formed on each surface of the connecting body 2, so that a mounting fixture can be attached to a desired connecting part at a desired angle. This makes the following possible. When the steel section to which this invention is attached is inclined, the angle of the fixture to which this invention is attached can be optimized. This can be applied to both cases where the steel section is inclined in the longitudinal direction and when it is inclined when viewed from the cross-sectional direction. Even if the structural steel to which the present invention is attached is not tilted, the angle of the fixture attached to the present invention can be adjusted as desired. Since the mounting location (connecting portion 3) of the mounting fixture to be attached to the present invention can be selected from multiple locations, the mounting fixture can be attached in the optimal location while avoiding obstacles. A cable tie can also be attached to connection part 3. -It is also possible to attach multiple equipment mounting brackets Q1 to the connecting part 3. The present invention has a plurality of connecting portions 3 to which mounting fixtures can be attached, so that a plurality of types of mounting fixtures can be attached in desired positions in desired combinations.

[0034] Furthermore, the mounting fitting of the present invention is not limited to the example shown in the figures. For example, the configurations of the fitting body 1, the connecting body 2, the connecting portion 3, etc. can be changed as desired, and the design can be freely modified as long as it does not change the gist of the present invention.

[0035] The present invention also includes the following inventions. The metal fitting body has a generally U-shaped side surface and is adapted to clamp a portion of a structure, and a fastening screw is adapted to fix the metal fitting body to the structure. A connecting body composed of at least three side surfaces of the bottom square tube is formed at the bottom of the metal fitting body, and a connecting portion is formed on each side surface of the connecting body, An appliance mounting bracket having an appliance mounting device for fixing an appliance such as a detector or lighting fixture attached to at least one connecting part.
