DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The hanging bolt support 1 comprises an upper fitting 2, an intermediate fitting 3 pivoted to the lower part of the upper fitting 2 so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis, and a lower fitting 12 pivoted to the lower part of the intermediate fitting 3 so as to be swingable about a horizontal axis, and the upper part of the hanging bolt B is supported by the lower fitting 12.

[0009] The upper fitting 2 comprises first and second horizontal support portions 4, 5 extending parallel to each other, and a vertical support portion 6 connecting the base ends of the horizontal support portions 4, 5, and is formed entirely by bending a single metal plate.

[0010] The upper fitting 2 has first and second horizontal support parts 4, 5 arranged one above the other to receive the support member S between them, and engages with the support member S so that the mounting orientation, either up or down, relative to the support member S can be selected, as shown in FIG.

[0011] A tightening bolt 7 is screwed in so as to penetrate vertically through the second horizontal support part 5. The tightening bolt 7 vertically clamps the support member S between the other horizontal support part 4, 5 by abutting its tip against the underside (FIG. 6(A)) or the top side (FIG. 6(B)) of the support member S depending on the vertical installation orientation of the upper fitting 2.

[0012] In accordance with the vertical installation orientation of upper fitting 2, a vertical pivot bolt 8 is attached so as to vertically penetrate one of the horizontal support parts on the lower side (horizontal support part 5 in 6(A) and horizontal support part 4 in FIG. 6(B)). This vertical pivot bolt 8 pivots intermediate fitting 3 to one of the horizontal support parts 4, 5 so as to be able to rotate horizontally. Intermediate fitting 3 is formed by bending a metal strip into a roughly U-shape and comprises a pair of bearing pieces 31 and an upper piece 32 that connects the upper ends of the bearing pieces 31 at a right angle, and the vertical pivot bolt 8 penetrates upper piece 32.

[0013] A horizontal pivot bolt 13 is attached to the bearing piece 31 of the intermediate fitting 3, and the lower fitting 12 is pivotally supported by this horizontal pivot bolt 13 so as to be able to swing freely.

[0014] The lower fitting 12 is formed by bending a metal strip into a roughly U-shape and includes a pair of bearing pieces 121 and a support piece 122 that connects the lower ends of the bearing pieces 121 at a right angle, with the suspension bolt B passing through and fixed to the support piece 122. Therefore, the suspension bolt support 1 can suspend the suspension bolt B such that the suspension direction can be freely changed within the imaginary cone surface in FIG.

[0015] The first horizontal support part 4 is composed of a pair of parallel vertical plate parts 41 and a horizontal plate part 42 consisting of two folded pieces 42a, 42b folded at right angles along the outer sides of the pair of vertical plate parts 41 and overlapped, and has a generally U-shaped cross section that opens towards the second horizontal support part 5. The pair of vertical plate parts 41 are prevented from opening by an opening prevention bolt 9 that passes horizontally through them.

[0016] The first horizontal support part 4 has a horizontal plate part 42 with double bent pieces 42a, 42b at the top and bottom, which enhances its strength against vertical loads. When the first horizontal support part 4 receives a vertical load, it receives a force in a direction that causes the pair of vertical plate parts 41 to open, but this force is countered by the opening prevention bolt 9. Therefore, the first horizontal support part 4 has high strength due to the cooperation of the double bent pieces 42a, 42b at the top and bottom and the opening prevention bolt 9.

[0017] The second horizontal support portion 5 is formed into a rectangular tube shape by a pair of parallel vertical plate portions 51, an outer horizontal plate portion 52 connecting the outer sides of the pair of vertical plate portions 51 at right angles, and an inner horizontal plate portion 53 consisting of two folded pieces 53a, 53b folded at right angles along the inner sides of the pair of vertical plate portions 51 and stacked on top of each other.

[0018] The outer horizontal plate portion 52 is formed with a screw hole 52a into which the fastening bolt 7 is screwed. The inner horizontal plate portion 53 is formed with a bolt hole 53c facing the screw hole 52a, through which the fastening bolt 7 is inserted.

[0019] The vertical support portion 6 comprises a pair of parallel vertical plate portions 61 continuous with the pair of vertical plate portions 41, 51 of the first and second horizontal support portions 4, 5, and a back plate portion 62 consisting of two folded pieces 62a, 62b bent at right angles along the outer vertical edges of the pair of vertical plate portions 61 and butting their edges together.

[0020] One of the bent pieces 62a constituting the back plate portion 62 is formed with a vertically long hole 62c.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 8, when the suspension bolt support 1 is hooked to one side of the lower flange of a support member S made of H-shaped steel, a hook bolt 10 is attached to resist lateral shaking due to earthquakes or the like.

[0022] The hook bolt 10 is inserted through the long hole 61c in the back plate portion 62 and extends along the underside of the lower flange, with the hook portion 10a at the tip end engaging the other side edge of the lower flange of the support member S and the base end being fastened and fixed to the lower flange of the support member S with a nut 11. Even if the suspension bolt support 1 is installed upside down or if the size of the H-shaped steel material that is the support member S is different, the hook bolt 10 can be adapted by adjusting the fixed position in the longitudinal and vertical directions.
