Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a retainer, a cap, and a method of installing the retainer. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art A holder is known for attaching a support member (for example, a hook) for supporting an article to an intermediate portion of a linear member such as a wire.

[0003] For example, the suspension holder described in Patent Document 1 includes a holder body having an insertion hole into which the wire is inserted, and an article support part provided on the side of the holder body for supporting an article such as a shelf. A slit is formed in the holder body. Through the slit, the middle part of the wire in the longitudinal direction after tensioning can be introduced into the insertion hole. Only the upper part of the holder body can be rotated. The slit can be divided by the rotation. This prevents the holder body from falling off the wire. In this way, the suspension holder can be attached to the middle part of the wire in the longitudinal direction even after the wire has been tensioned. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] (First embodiment) Hereinafter, the configuration of the first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0010] 1, a room 101 of a building includes a ceiling portion 102, a floor portion 103, and an inner wall portion 104. The room 101 is surrounded by the ceiling portion 102, the floor portion 103, and the inner wall portion 104.

[0011] A wire W is provided as a linear member in the room 101. The wire W extends in the up-down direction, more specifically, in the vertical direction. The wire W is provided close to the inner wall portion 104. Each end of the wire W in the longitudinal direction is fixed to the inner wall portion 104 by a fixing device F. It should be noted that the linear member is not limited to a wire.

[0012] A holder 1 having a hook portion 2 for suspending an object is attached to the middle portion of the wire W in the longitudinal direction. For example, a flowerpot P with a string can be suspended from the hook portion 2. This can improve the aesthetic appearance of the room 101. The hook portion 2 corresponds to a support portion.

[0013] The holder 1 includes a grip 3 that can be attached to the wire W, and a cap 4 that is placed over the grip 3.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 2, the grip 3 has a first insertion portion 31, a first slit portion 32, a grip body portion 33, and a protruding portion .

[0015] The first insertion portion 31 is provided penetrating the grip 3. The wire W is inserted through the first insertion portion 31. Hereinafter, the direction in which the wire W is inserted through the first insertion portion 31 is referred to as the "insertion direction". One of the insertion directions is referred to as the "first insertion direction", and the other direction is referred to as the "second insertion direction". In this embodiment, the first insertion direction is an upward direction, and the second insertion direction is a downward direction.

[0016] The first slit portion 32 is a slit extending in the insertion direction. The first slit portion 32 extends over the entire area of ​​the grip 3 in the insertion direction. The first slit portion 32 is provided to communicate between the outside of the grip 3 and the first insertion portion 31 in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction. The width dimension of the first slit portion 32 is set so that the wire W can pass through the first slit portion 32.

[0017] The grip body 33 has a generally cylindrical shape extending in the insertion direction. The first insertion portion 31 penetrates the grip body 33. The first slit portion 32 extends over the entire area of ​​the grip body 33 in the insertion direction.

[0018] The protruding portion 34 is provided to protrude from the grip body 33, specifically, to protrude in the first insertion direction from an end of the grip 3 in the first insertion direction. The protruding portion 34 has a generally cylindrical shape extending in the insertion direction. The protruding portion 34 is formed smaller than the grip body 33 when viewed in the insertion direction. The first insertion portion 31 penetrates the protruding portion 34. The first slit portion 32 extends over the entire area of ​​the protruding portion 34 in the insertion direction.

[0019] The protrusion 34 is capable of a pushing operation, which is an operation of being pushed into the grip body 33. The grip 3 is biased in the first insertion direction by a biasing member described later. Therefore, the protrusion 34 protrudes from the grip body 33 when no external force is acting on it. In the following, the case where the protrusion 34 is not pushed into the grip body 33 may be referred to as "normal time", and the case where the protrusion 34 is pushed into the grip body 33 may be referred to as "pushed in".

[0020] The grip 3 has a stopper mechanism (not shown) capable of restricting movement of the grip 3 on the wire W. The stopper mechanism has a plurality of balls that are provided exposable on the inner circumferential surface of the first insertion portion 31 and capable of clamping the wire W, a ball accommodating portion that is provided adjacent to the first insertion portion 31 and capable of accommodating the plurality of balls, and a biasing member that is provided on the second insertion direction side of the plurality of balls and biases the plurality of balls in the first insertion direction. The ball accommodating portion is formed in a tapered shape that expands in diameter from the first insertion direction side to the second insertion direction side. The plurality of balls are biased in the first insertion direction by the biasing member, and when they are located in an area on the first insertion direction side of the ball accommodating portion, they clamp the wire W.

[0021] The biasing force of the biasing member is also transmitted to the protrusion 34. Therefore, as described above, the protrusion 34 is biased in the first insertion direction by the biasing member.

[0022] Normally, when the grip 3 with the wire W inserted therethrough attempts to move in the second insertion direction on the wire W, the ball pinches the wire W in the area of ​​the ball receiving portion on the first insertion direction side. Therefore, the movement of the grip 3 on the wire W in the second insertion direction is restricted.

[0023] Normally, when the grip 3 with the wire W inserted therethrough attempts to move in the first insertion direction on the wire W, the balls move to an area on the second insertion direction side of the ball accommodating portion. In this case, since the ball accommodating portion expands in diameter from the first insertion direction side to the second insertion direction side, the balls move away from each other and the force with which the balls pinch the wire W becomes smaller. For this reason, the grip 3 can be moved in the first insertion direction on the wire W.

[0024] A state in which the movement of the grip 3 on the wire W is restricted in at least one of the insertion directions is referred to as a "restricted state." Normally, the movement of the grip 3 inserted on the wire W in the second insertion direction on the wire W is restricted, and the movement in the first insertion direction on the wire W is permitted. Therefore, normally, the grip 3 is in the restricted state.

[0025] Moreover, when the protrusion 34 is pushed toward the grip body 33, the protrusion 34 pushes the ball in the second insertion direction. When the ball is pushed, it moves to the area of ​​the ball accommodating section on the second insertion direction side. Therefore, when the grip 3 is inserted into the wire W, it is permitted to move in both the first insertion direction on the wire W and the second insertion direction on the wire W. In other words, when the grip 3 is pushed, it can be in a state in which the restricted state is released, and the restricted state is released by the pushing operation. The state in which the restricted state of the grip 3 is released is sometimes called the "permissible state". Furthermore, when the grip 3 is pushed, if the distance by which the protrusion 34 is pushed toward the grip body 33 does not reach a predetermined reference distance, the grip 3 does not enter the permissible state. Therefore, when the protrusion 34 is pushed only slightly, the grip 3 does not necessarily enter the permissible state.

[0026] When the grip 3 is in the restricted state, the wire W cannot pass through the first slit portion 32, and when the grip 3 is in the permitted state, the wire W can pass through the first slit portion 32. For this reason, the insertion and removal of the wire W into and from the first insertion portion 31 through the first slit portion 32 is normally restricted, but is permitted when the wire W is pushed in.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the cap 4 has a second insertion portion 41 and a second slit portion .

[0028] The second insertion portion 41 is formed to penetrate the cap 4. The wire W is inserted into the second insertion portion 41. Therefore, the insertion direction is also the direction in which the wire W is inserted into the second insertion portion 41. The cap 4 has, for example, a substantially cylindrical shape extending in the insertion direction. However, the shape of the cap 4 is not limited thereto.

[0029] 1, 7, and 8, the second insertion portion 41 is capable of housing at least a portion of the grip 3. The grip 3 can be introduced in the first insertion direction into the second insertion portion 41. In other words, the cap 4 is configured to cover the grip 3 from the first insertion direction side.

[0030] The second insertion portion 41 has a first accommodating space 42 and a second accommodating space 43. The first accommodating space 42 and the second accommodating space 43 are aligned in this order in the first insertion direction and communicate with each other.

[0031] The first housing space 42 is open to the second insertion direction side. The first housing space 42 is formed in a cylindrical shape. The shape and dimensions of the first housing space 42 are substantially the same as those of the grip body 33, and more specifically, are slightly larger.

[0032] The second accommodating space 43 opens toward the first insertion direction. The second accommodating space 43 has a cylindrical shape smaller than the first accommodating space 42. The shape and dimensions of the second accommodating space 43 are substantially the same as the shape and dimensions of the protruding portion 34. More specifically, the dimension of the second accommodating space 43 in the insertion direction is slightly smaller than that of the protruding portion 34, and the dimension of the second accommodating space 43 in the direction perpendicular to the insertion direction is slightly larger than that of the protruding portion 34.

[0033] When the grip 3 is accommodated in the second insertion portion 41, the grip body 33 is accommodated in the first accommodation space 42, and the protrusion 34 is accommodated in the second accommodation space 43. The grip body 33 is entirely contained inside the second insertion portion 41 (first accommodation space 42). The cap 4 covers the surface of the grip body 33 on the first insertion direction side (see FIG. 7). Therefore, the cap 4 does not move relative to the grip 3 in the second insertion direction.

[0034] At least a part of the protrusion 34 is accommodated inside the second insertion portion 41 (second accommodation space 43). This can protect the protrusion 34 from contact with an object, and can prevent the protrusion 34 from being unintentionally pushed into the grip body 33. More specifically, a part of the protrusion 34 protrudes from the cap 4. The protrusion dimension of the protrusion 34 from the cap 4 is smaller than the reference distance. In other words, the protrusion dimension of the protrusion 34 from the cap 4 is within a range in which the protrusion 34 is not pushed into the grip body 33 until the grip 3 is in the permissible state. In this case, the protrusion 34 is restricted by the cap 4 from operating until the restricted state is released. This can prevent the grip 3 from being in the permissible state unintentionally.

[0035] The entire protrusion 34 may be housed inside the cap 4 (the second insertion portion 41). This makes it possible to more suitably protect the protrusion 34 from contact with objects.

[0036] The hook portion 2 is provided on the cap 4. The hook portion 2 is formed in a rounded L-shape. The hook portion 2 extends from an end portion of the cap 4 on the second insertion direction side in a direction intersecting the insertion direction, and is bent in the middle portion in the first insertion direction.

[0037] The cap 4 and the hook portion 2 are integrally formed. This allows the appearances of the cap 4 and the hook portion 2 to be unified, improving the aesthetic appearance of the holder 1. The cap 4 and the hook portion 2 are formed of, for example, resin. However, the material of the cap 4 and the hook portion 2 is not limited to this, and may be, for example, wood, metal, stone, etc.

[0038] The cap and the hook do not necessarily have to be formed as one piece. However, it is preferable that the cap and the hook are made of the same material, color, etc. This allows the appearance of the cap and the hook to be unified, thereby improving the aesthetics of the holder 1.

[0039] The second slit portion 44 is a slit extending in the insertion direction. The second slit portion 44 extends over the entire area of ​​the cap 4 in the insertion direction. The second slit portion 44 is provided to communicate between the outside of the cap 4 and the second insertion portion 41 in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction. The width dimension of the second slit portion 44 is set so that the wire W can pass through the second slit portion 44.

[0040] The second slit portion 44 is provided on the opposite side to the hook portion 2 with the second insertion portion 41 interposed therebetween.

[0041] The cap 4 also has an inner peripheral convex portion 45 protruding from the inner peripheral surface of the second insertion portion 41. The inner peripheral convex portion 45 is formed as a ridge extending in the insertion direction. When the cap 4 is placed on the grip 3, the inner peripheral convex portion 45 is inserted into the first slit portion 32 (see FIG. 8). This makes it possible to prevent the cap 4 from rotating around the grip 3, and therefore makes it easy to determine the direction of the hook portion 2. The inner peripheral convex portion 45 is preferably provided on a portion of the inner peripheral surface of the second insertion portion 41 that faces the second slit portion 44. However, this is not limited to this. The inner peripheral convex portion 45 does not need to be formed as a ridge, and may be, for example, spike-shaped.

[0042] Next, a method for attaching the holder 1 to the wire W will be described with reference to Figs. 9 to 11. Note that both longitudinal ends of the wire W are fixed in advance to the inner wall portion 104. When the inner wall surface of the inner wall portion 104 is viewed from the front, the near side is sometimes referred to as the "near side" and the far side is sometimes referred to as the "rear side".

[0043] First, as shown in FIG. 9, the grip 3 is placed on the wire W. The wire W is introduced into the first insertion part 31 through the first slit part 32 (first insertion step). At this time, the wire W is introduced into the first insertion part 31 through the first slit part 32 while pushing the protruding part 34 toward the grip body part 33. After that, the position of the grip 3 is adjusted while the protruding part 34 is kept pushed in. When the fingers are released from the protruding part 34, the protruding part 34 returns to the protruding state, and the grip 3 takes the restricted state. The grip 3 is attached to the wire W with the protruding part 34 facing the first insertion direction (i.e., upward). Since the movement of the grip 3 in the second insertion direction (i.e., downward) is restricted, the grip 3 is prevented from descending under its own weight. In this way, the grip 3 can be attached to the wire W even after the wire W is tensioned.

[0044] Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the cap 4 is placed on the wire W. The wire W is introduced into the second insertion portion 41 through the second slit portion 44 (second insertion step). The cap 4 is placed above the grip 3 with the end portion on the second housing space 43 side facing downward. In this way, even after the wire W is tensioned, the wire W can be introduced into the cap 4 (second insertion portion 41). For convenience, FIG. 8 shows the wire W twisted so that the second slit portion 44 faces the front side.

[0045] Next, as shown in FIG. 11, the grip 3 is introduced into the second insertion portion 41, and the cap 4 is placed on the grip 3 (placement step). With the wire W inserted through the first insertion portion 31 and the second insertion portion 41, the cap 4 is moved toward the grip 3 (downward) to place the grip 3 in the second insertion portion 41. At this time, the inner peripheral convex portion 45 is introduced into the first slit portion 32 through the upper end of the first slit portion 32. This places the grip 3 in a state of being placed on the cap 4, and the holder 1 is completed. In this way, the holder 1 can be attached to the wire W even after the end of the wire W is fixed to a wall surface or the like.

[0046] The grip 3 is capable of moving upward on the wire W even under normal circumstances. Therefore, the grip 3 is capable of moving upward even when the cap 4 is placed on it. As a result, when attaching the holder 1, the holder 1 (grip 3) may be attached below a desired position on the wire W, and the position may be adjusted afterwards. When moving the holder 1 downward on the wire W, the cap 4 is temporarily removed from the grip 3, the grip 3 is moved while pressing the protruding portion 34, and then the cap 4 is placed on the grip 3.

[0047] In the holder 1, the grip 3 is entirely contained within the cap 4. Therefore, the holder 1 has a neat and tidy appearance and is aesthetically pleasing.

[0048] The cap 4 is used, for example, with the hook portion 2 facing the front side. In that case, the second slit portion 44 faces the back side. This can prevent the second slit portion 44 from being seen by the user, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance of the holder 1.

[0049] The hook portion 2 and the second slit portion 44 are provided on opposite sides of the second insertion portion 41. The inner peripheral convex portion 45 is provided in a region of the inner peripheral surface of the second insertion portion 41 that faces the second slit portion 44. Therefore, when the holder 1 is attached to the wire W so that the hook portion 2 faces the front side, the grip 3 is attached to the wire W in an orientation in which the first slit portion 32 is located on the front side. Then, when the inner peripheral convex portion 45 is inserted into the first slit portion 32, the hook portion 2 of the cap 4 faces the front side and the second slit portion 44 faces the back side. In this way, the orientation of the cap 4 during use can be easily determined.

[0050] According to the holder 1 of the present embodiment, the following effects are achieved.

[0051] According to this embodiment, the hook portion 6 is provided on the cap 4. This allows the holder 1 to have a neat and tidy appearance.

[0052] Also, at least a part of the grip can be housed in the second insertion portion 41. This allows the grip 3 to be covered with the cap 4, making the grip 3 less noticeable.

[0053] Therefore, it is possible to provide a holder 1 with excellent aesthetic appearance.

[0054] According to this embodiment, the grip 3 has a first insertion portion 31 through which the wire W is inserted, and a first slit portion 32 that connects the outside of the grip to the first insertion portion. This makes it possible to attach the grip 3 to the wire W even when the end of the wire W is fixed to a wall surface or the like.

[0055] The cap 4 also has a second insertion portion 41 through which the wire W is inserted, and a second slit portion 44 that connects the second insertion portion to the outside of the cap 4. This allows the wire W to be introduced into the cap 4 (second insertion portion 41) even when the end of the wire W is fixed to a wall surface or the like.

[0056] In addition, the cap 4 on the wire W can be moved toward the grip 3 to cover the grip 3.

[0057] Therefore, it is possible to provide a holder 1 that can be attached to a wire W. Furthermore, even when an end of the wire W is fixed to a wall surface or the like, the holder 1 can be attached to the wire W.

[0058] According to this embodiment, the hook portion 2 and the cap 4 are integrally formed. This makes it possible to more suitably unify the appearance of the cap 4 and the appearance of the hook portion 2, thereby further improving the aesthetic appearance of the holder 1.

[0059] According to this embodiment, the second slit portion is provided on the opposite side to the hook portion 2 across the second insertion portion 41. The cap 4 is used, for example, with the hook portion 2 facing the front side. In that case, the second slit portion 44 faces the back side. This can prevent the second slit portion 44 from being seen by the user, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance of the holder 1.

[0060] According to this embodiment, a portion of the protrusion 34 is housed in the second insertion portion 41. This makes it possible to protect the protrusion 34 from contact with an object, thereby preventing the protrusion 34 from being unintentionally pushed into the grip body 33.

[0061] Furthermore, even when the grip 3 is pressed in, if the distance the protrusion 34 is pressed into the grip body 33 does not reach a predetermined reference distance, the grip 3 does not enter the permissive state. The protrusion dimension from the cap 4 of the protrusion 34 is smaller than the reference distance. In this case, the protrusion 34 is restricted by the cap 4 from operating until the restricted state is released. This makes it possible to prevent the grip 3 from unintentionally entering the permissive state.

[0062] According to this embodiment, the cap 4 has an inner peripheral convex portion 45 protruding from the inner peripheral surface of the second insertion portion 41, and the inner peripheral convex portion 45 is inserted into the first slit portion 32. This makes it possible to prevent the cap 4 from rotating around the grip 3, making it easier to determine the orientation of the hook portion 2.

[0063] Second embodiment Hereinafter, the second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 12 to Fig. 15. The differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described. The same components as those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0064] 12, the wire W is provided along the inner wall portion 104. In the following, the left-right direction when the inner wall surface of the inner wall portion 104 is viewed from the front is referred to as the "left-right direction." The wire W is stretched in the left-right direction.

[0065] The holder 5 according to the second embodiment is assumed to be attached to a wire W stretched in the left-right direction. The wire W is inserted in the left-right direction through the first insertion portion 31. Therefore, in this embodiment, the insertion direction is the left-right direction.

[0066] 13 to 15, in the second embodiment, the hook portion 6 is formed in a J-shape. The hook portion 6 extends in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction from the outer surface of the cap 7, and is bent in the opposite direction at the middle portion. The second slit portion 74 is disposed on the opposite side of the hook portion 6 and the second insertion portion 71.

[0067] In the second embodiment, when the wire W is inserted through the cap 7, the side on which the hook portion 6 is provided faces downward due to the weight of the hook portion 6. Therefore, the second slit portion 74 opens upward. In this case, when the holder 5 is viewed from below, the second slit portion 74 is prevented from being seen, and therefore the aesthetic appearance of the holder 5 can be improved.

[0068] The second slit portion 74 may be provided in the same direction as the hook portion 6 when viewed from the second insertion portion 71. In that case, it is possible to prevent the second slit portion 74 from being seen when the holder 5 is looked down from above. Also, holders 5 having different positions of the second slit portion 74 may be used depending on the height position of the holder 5.

[0069] In the second embodiment, the cap 7 does not have an inner peripheral convex portion. When the insertion direction is the left-right direction, the orientation of the hook portion 6 is determined to be downward by the weight of the hook portion 6. Therefore, even if the cap 7 does not have an inner peripheral convex portion, the hook portion 6 faces the desired direction. Therefore, the inner peripheral convex portion is not a required configuration. It is also possible to provide the cap 7 with an inner peripheral convex portion.

[0070] The center of gravity of the cap 7 is preferably located in an area close to the end of the cap 7 on the second housing space 73 side. This can prevent the cap 7 from tilting so that the end of the cap 7 on the first housing space 72 side faces downward, thereby preventing the cap 7 from shifting. When the wire W is stretched at an angle, the holder 5 is attached to the wire W in an orientation such that the second housing space 73 is located above the first housing space 72. This can prevent the cap 7 from shifting.

[0071] According to the holder 5 of this embodiment, even if the insertion direction is the left-right direction, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained.

[0072] Although the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be modified as appropriate.

[0073] In the first embodiment, the cap 4 has the inner peripheral convex portion 45, but the grip may have an outer peripheral convex portion protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the grip, and when the grip is housed in the second insertion portion, the outer peripheral convex portion may be inserted into the second slit portion. This configuration also makes it possible to prevent the cap from rotating around the grip.

[0074] In the above embodiments, the grip is formed in a cylindrical shape, but is not limited thereto. For example, the outer peripheral shape of the grip may be polygonal when viewed in the insertion direction. In that case, the outer peripheral shape of the internal space of the second insertion portion may be polygonal when viewed in the insertion direction. This can prevent the cap from rotating around the grip.

[0075] In each of the above embodiments, the grip 3 is normally in a restricted state, and the restricted state is released by pushing the protrusion 34 into the grip body 33, but this is not limited to the above. The grip may be released from the restricted state by pulling the protrusion out from the grip body. In other words, the protrusion may be capable of being pulled out from the grip body, and the restricted state may be released by the pull-out operation of the protrusion.

[0076] In this case, for example, the protrusion protrudes from the surface of the grip body on the second insertion direction side. The protrusion is biased toward the first insertion direction side by a biasing member. Therefore, the protrusion is drawn toward the grip body side by the biasing force of the biasing member. At this time, the protrusion pushes the ball toward the first insertion direction side region of the ball accommodating portion. As in each of the above embodiments, the ball accommodating portion is formed in a tapered shape that expands in diameter from the first insertion direction side to the second insertion direction side. Therefore, when the balls move to the first insertion direction side region of the ball accommodating portion, they approach each other and pinch the linear member. This places the grip in a restricted state.

[0077] Such a grip is attached to the linear member with the second insertion direction facing downward. Therefore, when the protrusion is pulled out from the grip body against the biasing force of the biasing member, the ball moves to the area of ​​the ball accommodating portion on the second insertion direction side by its own weight. Then, the balls move away from each other and the force clamping the linear member becomes smaller. This releases the restricted state of the grip. With a grip of such a configuration, even if an object comes into contact with the protrusion, the restricted state of the grip is not easily released. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the grip from falling off the linear member.

[0078] When the grip is covered with the cap 4, the entire protrusion may be located outside the second insertion portion 41. In that case, since the protrusion is exposed from the cap 4, the protrusion can be easily operated even with the cap 4 covered on the grip.

[0079] However, at least a portion of the protruding portion may be housed in the second insertion portion 41. In that case, the protruding portion is covered by the cap 4, which can improve the aesthetic appearance of the holder.

[0080] In the above embodiments, the support portion is a hook portion for suspending an object, but is not limited to this. The support portion may be anything capable of supporting an object, and may be, for example, a member having a hole into which an object can be inserted, a member having a mounting portion on which an object can be placed, or a combination of these. In addition, the holder (support portion) may be capable of supporting one object with multiple holders (support portions).

[0081] In each of the above embodiments, one holder has one support portion, but this is not limited to this. One holder may have multiple support portions.

[0082] In each of the above embodiments, the cap is generally cylindrical and extends in the insertion direction, but is not limited thereto. The material, shape, color, etc. of the cap can be changed as appropriate. The same applies to the support part. Therefore, support parts and caps of various designs can be prepared and used according to the interior of the room in which the holder is used, the user's preferences, etc. In this way, the grip can be standardized while increasing the degree of freedom in the design of the holder. In addition, the design of the holder can be easily changed by simply replacing the support part and cap. [Explanation of symbols]
