[Figure 8] A perspective view illustrating another example of the use of the present invention. [Figure 9] This is a perspective view illustrating another example of the use of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0022] The main components of the mounting bracket of the present invention consist of a bracket body 1, a connecting body 2, a connecting part 3, and a fastening screw 4 (see Figure 1), and the bracket body 1 and the connecting body 2 are integrally formed by bending a single steel plate (see Figure 5).
[0023] The metal fitting body 1 is a part that forms a roughly U-shape on its side, which clamps a part of a structure, such as the flange S1 of a structural steel section S, and is equipped with a fastening screw 4 that penetrates the top plate 1A of the metal fitting body 1 (see Figure 1). The metal fitting body 1 has a clamping opening 1C for clamping the flange S1, and the fastening screw 4 presses the flange S1 inserted into the clamping opening 1C.
[0024] The connecting body 2 is a bottom-surfaced rectangular tubular portion formed at the lower part of the metal fitting body 1 (see Figure 4). Connecting parts 3 are formed on each surface of this connecting body 2. The connecting parts 3 shown in the figure are shaped like pilot holes for inserting tapping screws (see Figure 3). Furthermore, the configuration of the connecting parts 3 is not limited to the pilot hole shape shown in the example, and the number, shape, and position of the connecting parts 3 can be arbitrarily changed depending on the device or component to be connected to the connecting body 2.
[0025] Furthermore, the connecting body 2 includes front and rear side portions 2A and left and right side portions 2B (see Figure 3). The front and rear side portions 2A shown in the figure are formed by bending from the left and right side portions 2B, and the front and rear side portions 2A form a double structure where they overlap the front and rear portions of the left and right side portions 2B. In other words, a pilot hole-like connecting portion 3 is formed through the double overlapping front and rear side portions 2A.
[0026] Furthermore, a contact piece 2C is formed at the boundary between this connecting body 2 and the left and right side plates 1B (see Figure 2). Then, the contact piece 2C is 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 a fastening screw 4 (see Figure 7).
[0027] Figures 5(a) to (d) show the process of bending and forming the mounting bracket of the present invention. The bracket body 1 and connecting body 2 of the present invention are continuously formed from a metal plate that is substantially rectangular in shape (see Figure 5(a)).
[0028] The metal fitting body 1 consists of 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 Figure (a)). Then, a clamping opening 1C is formed along these left and right side plates 1B.
[0029] The connecting body 2 extends from the left and right side plates 1B, and front and rear side portions 2A are integrally formed at the front and rear of the left and right side portions 2B (see Figure (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 Figure (b)).
[0030] Furthermore, the front and rear side sections 2A are bent from the front and rear of each left and right side section 2B (see Figure (c)). In this state, when the left and right side plates 1B of the metal fitting body 1 are bent from the top plate 1A, the mounting fitting is formed (see Figure (d)). At this time, one of the left and right side sections 2B is configured to overlap the inside of the other left and right side section 2B (see Figure 3). Then, a pilot hole-like connecting section 3 is formed in the overlapping left and right side sections 2B.
[0031] Figure 6 shows the state in which the fixture mounting bracket Q1 is connected to the connecting body 2. That is, the connecting screw Q2, which is made of a tapping screw, is passed through the fixture mounting bracket Q1 and fixed to the connecting part 3 of the connecting body 2. Then, a fixture Q such as a sensor or lighting fixture is fixed to this fixture mounting bracket Q1 (see Figure 7).
[0032] In this case, since the fixture mounting bracket Q1 is connected to the connecting part 3 by a single connecting screw Q2, the angle of the fixture Q, along with the fixture mounting bracket Q1, can be changed around this connecting screw Q2 (see Figure 8). As a result, it can be used in accordance with the inclination of the structural steel S, even when the structural steel S is tilted in the longitudinal direction or when viewed from the cross-sectional direction. In other words, even if the structural steel S is tilted, it is possible to mount the fixture Q perpendicular to the ground. Moreover, since the connecting part 3 is formed on each surface that forms a planar rectangular tube shape of the connecting body 2, it is also possible to change the mounting position of the fixture Q by changing the position of the connecting part 3 to which it is attached. As a result, even if the mounting position or mounting angle of the fixture Q is changed, the mounting bracket of the present invention can accommodate it.
[0033] The installation position of the connecting portion 3 in the connecting body 2 is preferably such that when a mounting fixture such as the fixture mounting fixture Q1 is attached to the connecting portion 3, the fixture itself and the members attached to the fixture do not interfere with structural elements such as structural steel and other parts of the mounting bracket of the present invention. It is also preferable that the fixture itself and the members attached to the fixture do not interfere with structural elements such as steel and other parts of the mounting bracket of the present invention, even when the mounting angle of the fixture is changed.
[0034] In the above embodiment, the connecting body 2 is shown as a rectangular cylindrical base portion formed at the lower part of the metal fitting body 1. However, it may also be a portion composed of at least three of the four faces of the rectangular cylindrical base portion. In this case, the three faces may be one front and rear side portion 2A and two left and right side portions 2B.
[0035] In the above embodiment, the device mounting bracket Q1 was exemplified as a mounting device to be attached to the present invention, but a cable support bracket R may also be used as a mounting device. Figure 9 shows the state in which the cable support bracket R is connected to the connecting body 2. That is, the connecting screw is passed through the screw hole of the cable support bracket R and fixed to the connecting part 3 of the connecting body 2. Then, cables, etc. are placed on this cable support bracket R. Since the cable support bracket R can be fixed to the connecting part 3 at any angle, cables, etc. can be arranged at any angle. Also, since the cable support bracket R can be fixed to the connecting part 3 at any location, cables, etc. can be arranged while avoiding obstacles. Note that the cable support bracket R is not limited to the shape shown in Figure 9, but various mounting devices that can support cables, etc. can be used. Here, cables, etc. include long objects such as pipes. Alternatively, cable ties may be used as fasteners.
[0036] In this invention, a bottom-shaped rectangular tubular connecting body 2 is formed at the lower part of the metal fitting body 1, and connecting parts 3 are formed on each surface of the connecting body 2, allowing the mounting fixture to be attached to the desired connecting part at a desired angle. This makes the following possible. • When the structural steel to which the present invention is attached is tilted, the angle of the mounting fixture attached to the present invention can be optimized. This is applicable to both cases where the structural steel is tilted in the longitudinal direction and 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 mounting fixture attached to the present invention can be adjusted arbitrarily. • Since the mounting location (connecting part 3) of the mounting fixture to be attached to the present invention can be selected from multiple locations, the mounting fixture can be attached to the optimal position while avoiding obstacles. • It is also possible to attach cable ties to the connecting part 3. • Multiple fixture mounting brackets Q1 can be attached to the connecting section 3. The present invention includes multiple connecting parts 3 to which mounting fixtures can be attached, allowing multiple types of mounting fixtures to be attached in desired positions and combinations.
[0037] Furthermore, the mounting bracket of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example, and each component, such as the bracket body 1, connecting body 2, and connecting part 3, can be arbitrarily changed, and the design can be freely modified without altering the essence of the present invention.
[0038] This invention also includes the following inventions. It comprises a metal fitting body with a roughly U-shaped side that clamps onto a part of the structure, and a fastening screw that secures the metal fitting body to the structure.
