Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention is for holding hoses through which liquids such as water and oil pass, and for holding nozzles attached to the tip of hoses to control the flow rate of liquids such as liquid volume and oil volume. Clamp for long hoses and nozzles Regarding. [Background technology]
[0002] A clamping device for long parts of hoses, nozzles, etc., for holding hoses such as water sprinkler hoses and water hoses, and nozzles for bath showers, sprinklers, water canisters, etc. is disclosed.
[0003] The summary of Patent Document 1 states, "(Problem) When doing gardening or watering, it is often difficult to know where the drain outlet at the end of a long hose is, and one has to search for it while dragging the hose, which is a cumbersome and troublesome experience." It goes on to describe a water hose fastener, saying, "(Solution) The fastener of this invention is attached to the cap nut part of the faucet, and the hose drain outlet is clamped and placed in the grip part."
[0004] Patent Document 2 discloses a shower hook in its summary, which states, "Problem: To prevent a shower head held by a shower hook attached to a wall or the like from floating up due to the reaction force when water is discharged." It also states, "Solution: A hose holding member 10 provided on the bottom of a hook 1 is made of an elastic material, and holding portions 12, 12 having a gap dimension d set smaller than the diameter of the hose and capable of elastically expanding are provided at an opening 11a of a C-shaped main body 11. When a head is to be held by a hook 1, as the hose is inserted into holding portion 3 through slit 5, holding portions 12, 12 of hose holding member 10 are elastically expanded, while the hose is passed through opening 11a and introduced into storage space 13. As the surface of the hose is elastically held by holding portions 12, 12, the hose does not move easily. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the head from floating up or rotating due to the reaction force when water is discharged."
[0005] The abstract of Patent Document 3 states, "Problem: When watering, all you need to do is squeeze the hose hard with your fingers to spray water with force, but this is tiring, so in many cases a watering nozzle is used. However, when actually doing water work, a hose is sufficient and there are many situations where a watering nozzle is actually in the way, but it is a hassle to remove the watering nozzle that is attached to withstand liquid pressure. Conversely, it is also a hassle to connect a watering nozzle to a hose that does not have a watering nozzle attached. The problem is to create a watering tool that can be used easily only when necessary." and "Solution: A lever is used to change the shape of the tip of the hose, which is bent so that the water can be controlled. As water passes only through the hose, there is no need for a connection device that can withstand liquid pressure." The watering tool does not require any connections.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3087581 [Patent Document 2] JP 2008-144408 A [Patent Document 3] JP 2007-97559 A DISCLOSURE OF THEINVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0007] Nozzles for water sprinkler hoses, water hoses, water pipes, oil pipes, etc., not only change in shape and size to sprinkle or discharge water depending on the amount of liquid and its pressure, but also control the flow rate of liquids, such as the amount of liquid or oil, by controlling nozzles attached to the tip of the hoses. For example, nozzles for bath showers and water sprinklers / dischargers are connected to flexible hoses, but these nozzles need to be held together with the hoses so that they do not move wildly due to the force of the water, and the nozzles need to be bent and shaped in a certain direction. However, it was not possible to hold these members with different elasticity and those whose unevenness changes depending on the amount of liquid, etc., with a single clamping tool. In other words, since hoses come in different shapes and types (materials), such as large diameters and small shapes, and made of synthetic resin and rubber, it is desirable to hold them with a clamping force according to their size and material, but when liquid such as water or oil flows through hoses or nozzles, the hoses may swell if the amount of liquid is large (even if the nozzle or hose moves violently or rotates due to the force of the water), and may deflate if the amount of liquid is small, and so on, and the shape may not be constant. Furthermore, when watering the lawn or farm is finished, the structure must be such that it can be easily removed from the support stand (base) and stored. In addition, when water is sprayed radially from the tip of a long portion such as a cylindrical nozzle, and a hose or other long portion such as a nozzle is inserted into the rear end, the force of the water may cause the nozzles or hoses to expand, or the amount of water may be small and the nozzles or hoses may shrink (contract), so the elastic force of the bent portion must be used to control whether the nozzles or hoses are held tightly or loosely in response to this. Also, if the nozzles or hoses rotate due to the force of the water, the elastic force of the bent portion must be used to control whether the nozzles or hoses are held tightly or loosely in response to this.
[0008] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a clamping tool for long parts of hoses, nozzles, etc., which can hold hoses, nozzles, etc. with a clamping force according to their shape, material, and size, and which can be easily attached and detached from a support base. Another object of the present invention is to provide a clamping tool that can stably clamp hoses, nozzles, etc. even if their shape, material, and size change due to the amount of liquid, liquid pressure, etc., and which can move hoses, nozzles, etc. stably and smoothly due to a bent part that exerts an appropriate elastic force, and which can control the strength or weakness of the elastic force by engaging the bent part from the outside. Clamp for long hoses and nozzles The purpose of this invention is to provide [Means for solving the problem]
[0009] The present invention relates to a clamping device for a hose for conveying water or oil, or a nozzle for controlling the amount and pressure of liquid,The device is provided with a member having a V-shaped or U-shaped cross section, and has a plurality of bent portions formed by bending the left and right sides of the V-shaped or U-shaped member at a predetermined angle or a predetermined curved or curved surface, and / or has the bent portions formed to face the left and right sides of the V-shaped or U-shaped member, thereby clamping a hose or nozzle with the elasticity of the bent portions or the difference in elasticity between the left and right sides and the bent portions. Along with, The member having a V-shaped or U-shaped cross section is formed with an opening on the upper side, and a slit is formed from the upper opening side toward the lower bottom side, and the long portion of the hose or nozzle is clamped by the elastic deformation of the bent portion and the shape deformation means which is the slit. . Here, the V-shaped or U-shaped member may be formed by bending a metal, synthetic resin, or rubber member, or a member having a predetermined size such as a leaf spring into the V-shape or U-shape, or by connecting members having left and right bent portions to form the V-shaped or U-shaped cross-section member. The bent portion is assumed to correspond to the shape and size of long parts such as hoses and nozzles, but a partial bent portion may also be used, and the size and shape of the bent portion are not important. According to the present invention, hoses, nozzles, etc. are clamped using the elastic force at the bent parts of the V-shaped or U-shaped member and the difference in elastic force between the left and right sides and the bent parts, so even if the shape, material, size, etc. of the hoses, nozzles, etc. change due to the amount and pressure of liquid (the nozzles or hoses move violently or rotate due to the force of water), they can be clamped with elastic force according to their shape, etc. Furthermore, by clamping with the bent parts facing the left and right sides, the hoses, nozzles, etc. can be clamped simultaneously with stable elasticity from the opposing bent parts on the left and right. Furthermore, the method of clamping hoses, nozzles, etc. using a clamping device for long parts of hoses, nozzles, etc. of the present invention is characterized in that the clamping device for long parts of hoses, nozzles, etc., which holds hoses for sending water, oil, etc., and nozzles for controlling liquid volume and liquid pressure, is provided with a member (clamping member having corrugated sides) that is V-shaped or U-shaped in cross section, and each of the left and right sides of the V-shaped or U-shaped member has a plurality of bent parts formed by bending at a predetermined angle or by bending into a predetermined curved or curved shape, and / or the bent parts are provided facing the left and right sides of the V-shaped or U-shaped member, so that when the long parts of the hoses, nozzles, etc. are inserted, they are clamped by the bent parts, which have stronger elasticity the further downwards they go. According to the present invention, the insertion operation of hoses, nozzles, etc. is easy, and hoses, nozzles, etc. can be stably clamped. When the long parts of the hoses, nozzles, etc. are inserted, they are clamped by the bent parts, which have stronger elasticity as they go downward, so that they are stably supported (weight is applied to the lower side due to the amount of liquid such as water or oil, but they are stably clamped by the bent parts, which have stronger elasticity as they go downward, and are stably clamped due to the difference in elasticity between the left and right sides and the bent parts), and the elasticity of the bent parts allows smooth movement both downward and upward. In addition, the structure makes it easy to attach and detach the clamping tool for long parts of hoses, nozzles, etc. to and from the grooves of the support base.
[0010] The present invention provides: Used in clamping devices for hoses that send water or oil, and nozzles that control the volume and pressure of liquid. The device is provided with a member having a V-shaped or U-shaped cross section, and has a plurality of bent portions formed by bending the left and right sides of the V-shaped or U-shaped member at a predetermined angle or a predetermined curved or curved surface, and / or has the bent portions formed to face the left and right sides of the V-shaped or U-shaped member, thereby clamping a hose or nozzle with the elasticity of the bent portions or the difference in elasticity between the left and right sides and the bent portions. Along with, The hose or nozzle clamping device is provided with a support base that supports the bottom side of the V-shaped or U-shaped cross-sectional member, and the support base is provided with a locking portion that locks onto the bent portion of the V-shaped or U-shaped member from the outside, thereby locking onto the V-shaped or U-shaped cross-sectional member in which the hose or nozzle is arranged from the outside. Here, in the present invention, the support base is provided with a locking portion that locks onto the bent portion from the outside, and the support base portion is formed in an arc-shaped cross section with the locking portion as a tip opening, and the shape of the support base can be changed toward the tip side to change its position, and the support base can also be locked into the multiple bent portions or the opposing bent portions on the left and right by changing its position. According to the present invention, the hoses, nozzles, etc. can be clamped while controlling the elastic force of the bent parts by locking them from the outside with locking parts provided on the support base. Also, by locking the locking parts on the outside of the multiple bent parts, it is possible to clamp them by simply exerting the elastic force of each of the V-shaped or U-shaped members. For example, by locking the bent parts from the outside with the locking parts, the elastic force of the upper bent parts can be made stronger than that of the lower bent parts.
[0011] The present invention is characterized in that the V-shaped or U-shaped members have an open upper side and a folded lower bottom side, and when the lower bottom side is engaged with a groove provided in the support base, the lower bottom side can be attached and detached by elastic force. According to the present invention, the structure allows hoses and nozzles to be easily inserted because the upper side opens widely. Also, the hoses and nozzles can be inserted from the upper side and guided into the small-angled corners to be stably held (without gaps).
[0012] The present invention is characterized in that the V-shaped or U-shaped member has slits for adjusting its elasticity, and / or the multiple bent portions or the opposing left and right bent portions have slits for adjusting their elastic force. Here, when the shape deformation means such as the slits or notches are formed along the bent portions formed by bending the left and right sides of the V-shaped or U-shaped member at a predetermined angle or along the bent portions formed by bending the left and right sides of the V-shaped or U-shaped member at a predetermined curved or curved surface, the shape deformation means elastically deforms to follow the changes in the bent portions, and stably clamps hoses, etc. According to the present invention, the shape deformation means such as the slits and notches can adjust the clamping force in accordance with changes in the shape and size of hoses, nozzles, etc., and changes in size and shape due to the amount and pressure of liquid.
[0013] The present invention is characterized in that the V-shaped or U-shaped member is formed with shape deforming means such as slits or notches for adjusting its elasticity, and / or the multiple bends or the opposing bends on the left and right are formed with shape deforming members such as slits or notches for adjusting their elastic force. According to the present invention, even when hoses or nozzles are clamped on the upper side of the support table, they are clamped on the upper side with a large clamping force, so that they can be clamped in a stable state (there is no risk of them being tilted and dropped). Like (Not at all). Furthermore, the present invention is characterized in that the V-shaped or U-shaped cross-sectional member has an opening on the upper side and a folding formation on the lower bottom side as the bent portion, and that slits for adjusting the elastic force are formed in the multiple bent portions and the opposing bent portions from the opening partway toward the lower bottom side, but the slits are not formed on the lower bottom side, or the slits are formed partway from the opening partway toward the lower bottom side, but the lower bottom side has some parts where the slits are not formed and some parts where the slits are formed. According to the present invention, as long as the slit is formed from the opening downward toward the bottom side, it is not necessary for the slit to extend all the way down to the end of the V-shaped or U-shaped cross-section member; it may be formed partway down. In this case, hoses and nozzles can be inserted easily through the opening, and the clamping force can become gradually stronger as it goes downward, or hoses and nozzles can be clamped differently between areas with and without the slit (for example, hard synthetic resin nozzles can be clamped on the upper side, and soft synthetic resin hoses can be clamped on the lower side).
[0014] Here, in the present invention, the bent portion can be provided as an angular portion formed at a predetermined angle, a curved portion formed by a predetermined curve, and / or a curved portion formed by a predetermined curvature, and these can be configured to be arranged opposite each other. In addition, in the present invention, the multiple bent portions are formed on the upper side by angular portions with large angles or curved portions with large curves, and on the lower side by angular portions with small angles or curved portions with small curves, and the force for elastically clamping the hoses, nozzles, etc. can also be increased.
[0015] In the present invention, the member of the specified size can be made up of a leaf spring, with a support base at the center that engages with the engaging portion, and the bent portion can be formed in the leaf spring. According to the present invention, the clamping tool having the characteristics of the present invention can be easily manufactured by bending a leaf spring into a predetermined shape. Also, when the V-shaped or U-shaped member is bent into the V-shape or U-shape around its bottom side, a first elastic force can be exerted on the bottom side, and when the V-shaped or U-shaped member is provided with the bent portion, a second elastic force can be exerted on the bent portion, so that the nozzle portion and its control portion of the nozzles can be separated and stably clamped, or when clamping hoses with nozzles at their tips, they can be clamped in a state suitable for each elastic force. In order to exert a stronger elastic force going downwards (to clamp with the difference in elastic force between the left and right sides and the bent portion), it is preferable that the length of the unevenness on the lower side is shorter than that on the upper side by bending it, and that it is arranged in a state where there is no contact from the outside (as if hanging in the gap).
[0016] The present invention is characterized in that the V-shaped or U-shaped cross-section member is open at the top and bent at the bottom to be narrower than the top, and the bent portion is a wave shape with a cross-sectional unevenness alternately repeated on the inside and outside, and the angle of the bent portion is smaller at the bottom than at the top. Here, when the V-shaped or U-shaped cross-section member is bent at its bottom, a force acts on the upper side of the synthetic resin member or metal member to return the upper side in a direction opening to the left and right, and the clamping force at the bent portion at the top is weaker and the clamping force at the bent portion at the bottom is stronger. In addition, since the angle of the bent portion is smaller at the bottom than at the top, long parts such as hoses and nozzles (the weight of the liquid volume of water or oil is largely applied to the bottom side) can be clamped in a stable position at the position of strong elastic force at the part of the bent portion at the bottom where the size of the bent portion is small. According to the present invention, the nozzle can be inserted from above and then clamped with a strong elastic clamping force as it is guided downward, making it easy to attach and detach hoses, nozzles, etc., and enabling hoses, nozzles, etc. to be clamped more stably as they are guided downward. And, when the hoses or nozzles or other long portions, which are cylindrical nozzles or the like, are inserted into the opposing bent portions to spray water in shower style from the tips thereof and which are equipped with hoses or the like at their rear ends, and are used, even if the nozzles or hoses swell due to the force of the water or if the nozzles or hoses shrink because the amount of water is small, the elastic force of the bent portions correspondingly controls whether to clamp tightly or weakly, and even if the nozzles or hoses move violently or rotate due to the force of the water, the elastic force of the bent portions correspondingly controls whether to clamp tightly or weakly, and even if the nozzles or hoses move violently or rotate due to the force of the water, the elastic force of the bent portions correspondingly controls whether to clamp tightly or weakly. Effect of the Invention
[0017] According to the present invention, hoses, nozzles, etc. are clamped with elasticity at the bent portions of the V-shaped or U-shaped member, so that even if the shape, material, size, etc. of the hoses, nozzles, etc. change due to the amount and pressure of liquid, the hoses, nozzles, etc. can be clamped with elasticity according to the shape, etc. Furthermore, by clamping with the opposing bent portions, the left and right opposing bent portions can be simultaneously clamped with stable elasticity. Another object of the present invention is to provide a clamping tool for long parts of hoses, nozzles, etc., which can control the elasticity of the bent portions by strengthening or weakening them with a locking portion that locks with the bent portions from the outside. Furthermore, when a long portion such as a nozzle or the like is inserted into the opposing bent portions to spray water in a shower-like manner from the tip end of the long portion, and the long portion such as a hose or nozzle having a hose on the rear end is used, even if the nozzles or hoses expand due to the force of the water, or if the nozzles or hoses shrink due to a small amount of water, the elastic force of the bent portions can be used to control whether the nozzles or hoses are clamped tightly or weakly in response to this, and even if the nozzles or hoses rotate due to the force of the water, the elastic force of the bent portions can be used to control whether the nozzles or hoses are clamped tightly or weakly in response to this.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0019] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0020] (First embodiment) FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, FIGS. 2 and 3 are cross-sectional views of the embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a view showing an example of the state in which a hose of this embodiment is clamped. In the present embodiment, the clamping device 1 for long parts such as hoses and nozzles has bent portions 2a formed by bending the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 at a predetermined angle or in a predetermined curved line at multiple locations and / or on the left and right. The bent portions 2a-2c may be formed by bending a member of a predetermined size that is folded into a predetermined shape by applying heat to the bent portions 2a-2c at a predetermined angle or in a predetermined curved line. It is necessary to form the bent portions so that they retain an elastic force (restoring force) to return to their original shape. The V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 can be formed by bending a metal or synthetic resin member of a predetermined size at the center, or by connecting metal or synthetic resin members of a predetermined size at the center to form the V-shaped or U-shaped member. The left and right sides of the V-shaped or U-shaped member 3 are formed with a bent portion 2a bent at a predetermined angle or bent portions 2b and 2c bent at a predetermined curved or curved surface, so that a force (elastic force) that tends to return to the original shape acts on the member. That is, hoses H and the like are made of synthetic resin or rubber, which are highly elastic, but their shape expands and contracts depending on the amount of liquid and the pressure of the liquid. However, according to this embodiment, even if the bent portions 2a-2c are expanded or contracted, if the bent portions 2a-2c are at a large angle or curve, they can clamp hoses, nozzles, etc. with a larger elastic force (reluctance force: folding stress) than if the bent portions 2a-2c are at a small angle or curve, and by utilizing this shape and the restoring force and elastic force of the expanded clamping pieces, it is possible to appropriately clamp various hoses, nozzles, etc. with different shapes, sizes, materials, etc. according to their respective shapes, sizes, materials, etc., and also in response to changes in shape due to water volume, water pressure, etc. Then, water is sprayed radially (in a shower style) from the tip of the long portion of the cylindrical nozzles, etc. The hoses H include tubular bodies (pipes) for piping. The nozzles N at the tip of the hoses H adjust the amount and pressure of liquid through which water or oil passes while controlling the amount and pressure of liquid, and the nozzles H and the hoses N can be clamped by changing the clamping force or by changing the diameter or shape. The bent portions 2a-2c are constituted by a set of inner and outer concave and convex portions x1, x2 (outer concave and convex portions y1, y2). That is, a set of bent portions 2a is constituted by an inner concave portion x1 and an inner convex portion x2, and a set of bent portions 2b is constituted by an outer concave portion y1 and an outer convex portion y2 (FIG. 4). This shape and the restoring force and elastic force F1 of the clamping pieces that are pushed outward make it possible to clamp various hoses H and nozzles N of different shapes and thicknesses with elasticity (FIGS. 17(a)(b) to 19(a)(b)). The expanding portion 2d closes like a tulip bud and can be configured to open like a tulip bud when a nozzle N or hose H is inserted (Figs. 3, 5, and 20), and when configured in this manner, it can clamp and envelop the entire nozzle N or hose H. In addition, the left and right sides of the expanding portion 2d come into contact with each other, so that the nozzle N etc. clamped by the bent portions 2a to 2c can be clamped without coming off.
[0021] Here, in Fig. 4(a), (b), and (c), the hoses H and nozzles are inserted from above, and are stably supported by being clamped by the bent portions 2a to 2c (the bent portions with small corrugations) in which the elasticity increases toward the lower side. Fig. 4(a) shows an example in which the weight is applied to the lower side due to the amount of liquid such as water or oil, but is stably clamped by the bent portions 2a to 2c in which the elasticity increases toward the lower side. Fig. 4(b) shows an example in which the weight is applied to the lower side due to the amount of liquid such as water or oil, but is stably clamped by the bent portions 2a to 2c in which the elasticity increases toward the lower side. Furthermore, the upper side is also clamped by the left and right locking portions 3a, and the upper and lower parts of the bent portions 2a to 2c are hooked by the locking portions, so that the hoses H and nozzles are held according to their size and shape, and are not pulled out from above. Fig. 4(c) shows an example in which the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 is stably clamped by the bent portions 2a to 2c even if it is not symmetrical. Furthermore, the upper side is also clamped by the left and right locking parts 3a, and the upper and lower parts of the bent parts 2a to 2c are hooked by the locking parts, so that the hoses H and the like are clamped according to their size and shape, and are clamped so that they do not come off from above. That is, the bent parts 2a to 2c are composed of a set of inner and outer uneven parts x1, x2 (outer uneven parts y1, y2), but they do not need to be symmetrical. A set of bent parts 2a is composed of an inner recess x1 and an inner protrusion x2, or a set of bent parts 2b is composed of an outer recess y1 and an outer protrusion y2, so that the hoses to be used and hoses that change due to the amount of water, water pressure, and weight can be clamped without applying excessive force according to their shape, size, and shape. Specifically, if the hoses are hung in the gap part 2f and are not in contact with anything other than the locking parts 3a, the elastic force is easily exerted. In addition, in order to easily exert the elastic force, it is preferable to eliminate contact at the central bent bottom part 2e. 8 illustrates an example in which the locking portion 3a of the support base 3 is locked to the plurality of bent portions 2a to 2c from the outside. In the example of FIG. 8, hoses H, nozzles N, etc. can be clamped from the outside with elastic force according to their size, shape, material, etc. (FIG. 8). By locking from the left and right as if hanging in the gap portion 2f (preferably eliminating contact surfaces, and particularly preferably eliminating contact at the central bent bottom portion 2e), the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 and the bent portions 2a to 2c can be clamped while exerting elasticity. FIG. 9 shows a curved portion 2c having a predetermined curvature formed by bending the bent portions 2a to 2c at a predetermined angle, and the curved portion 2c is provided on each side bent on the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2. In the example of FIG. 9(a), the curved portion (bent portions 2a to 2c) having a large curvature is provided in a spherical shape. In the example of FIG. 9(b), when a hose H or the like is inserted from the top of the opening, the bent portion 2c is configured such that the clamping force increases toward the bottom. If the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 is guided into the groove 3m, it is possible to make it movable in the length direction like a rail (FIG. 9(b)). On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 9(a), if a locking portion 3a that locks with the multiple bent portions (concave portions on the outside) is provided, the clamping force of each of the multiple bent portions 2a to 2c can be adjusted by the locking portion 3a, which is the outer member (see FIG. 8). Fig. 10 shows a predetermined angled angular portion 2a in which the bent portions 2a to 2c are bent at a predetermined angle, and each of the shaped portions is provided on each side bent into the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2. In the example of Fig. 10, the multiple bent portions 2a to 2c face each other, but they do not necessarily have to face each other. In the example of Fig. 10, the clamping force of the opposing bent portions 2a is the same, but if the angle of the V-shape or U-shape is made larger, it is possible to configure the bent portions 2a to 2c such that the clamping force increases toward the bottom when a hose H or the like is inserted from the top of the opening. 17(a)(b) to 19(a)(b) show a structure in which the bent portions 2a to 2c are provided with elasticity (restoring force), and when the metal or synthetic resin member 2 is bent into the V-shape or U-shape of a predetermined size, a restoring force (elastic force) against the bending force is exerted, and further, when the bent portions 2a to 2c are bent to form the angular portion 2a with a predetermined angle, the curved portion 2b, 2c with a predetermined curvature, the restoring force (elastic force) against the bending force is exerted. In this embodiment, the bent portions 2a to 2c and the bottom side 2e are closed by utilizing these restoring forces (elastic forces), so that the entire corrugated sandwiching member 2 exerts elastic force, and when the curved portion 2b, 2c with a predetermined curvature is bent, a restoring force (elastic force) against the bending force is exerted.
[0022] Shape-deforming members 2s such as slits or cuts are formed in the bent portions 2a to 2c of the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 to adjust the clamping force for clamping the hoses H or nozzles N (FIG. 5). It is preferable to provide the slits 2s or cuts at a predetermined angle, curve or curvature along the bent portions 2a to 2c in order to further exert elasticity, and if they are provided up to the expanded portion 2d, it becomes easier to insert the hoses H or nozzles N. In the above-mentioned nozzles N, even if they have a large diameter portion N3, a medium diameter portion N2, and a small diameter portion N3, the large diameter portion N3, the medium diameter portion N2, and the small diameter portion N1 can be properly clamped by the elastic force of the slit (shape-deforming member) 2s (Figure 11). A cover member 8 can be disposed inside the bent portions 2a to 2c to strengthen the clamping force, or the inner cover member 8 can be disposed to soften the contact with the hoses H and nozzles N (FIG. 6). It is also possible to provide the cover member 8 so as to correspond to the slits 2s. The slits 2s divide the widening portion 2d, so that the nozzles open with a step and can be easily inserted (FIGS. 21(a) and (b)).
[0023] The clamping tool 1 of this embodiment can clamp the hoses H below the nozzles, and even if the amount of liquid or pressure in the hoses causes the hoses to move wildly, the nozzles can be stably clamped according to the amount of liquid and pressure. For example, the nozzles N can be used as the tip of a shower in the bathroom, and since the hoses H can be prevented from moving wildly, stable water sprinkling and discharge can be achieved. For example, in the case where hoses H and nozzles N for watering gardens, parks, fields, etc. are installed at a predetermined height, the hoses H will expand and contract (create an uneven shape) depending on the amount of liquid and the pressure of the liquid. Also, nozzles N for controlling the amount of liquid and the pressure of the liquid are arranged at the tip of the hoses H, and the tip-side nozzles N will expand and contract (create an uneven shape) depending on the amount of liquid and the pressure of the liquid. However, according to the clamping tool 1 of the present embodiment, even if such swelling or unevenness occurs in the hoses, the bent portions 2a-2b are provided, so that the hoses can be clamped according to a predetermined size and shape according to their shape. In addition, the nozzles (shower device) N at the tip side of the hoses H adjust the amount of liquid and the liquid pressure, and the nozzles N and the hoses H can be clamped by changing the clamping force, or the nozzles can be clamped by changing the diameter, shape, or material. That is, if the nozzles N have a large diameter portion H3 with a large diameter, a small diameter portion H1 with a small radius, and a medium diameter portion H2 with a small radius, according to the clamping tool 1 of the present embodiment, the nozzles N can be divided by the bent portions 2a-2c and the slits 2s to clamp the nozzles N according to the diameters of the small diameter portion N1, the medium diameter portion N2, and the large diameter portion N3, and the nozzles N can be clamped stably according to the amount of liquid and the liquid pressure (the center position can be held without shifting). In addition, when installed at a specified height for use, hoses H that may become unstable due to the amount of liquid or liquid pressure can be clamped in the above manner, and installed so that they are continuous with the lower clamping portion 2A and the upper clamping portion 2B of the same corrugated clamping member 2, making it possible to spray water in a stable state (Figure 11).
[0024] As shown in Figs. 17 to 19, a metal or synthetic resin plate is bent into a V-shape or a U-shape (first bending process). (Clamping member with wavy edges) In the first bending process, a plurality of bent portions 2a-2c are provided on each of the left and right sides of the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 by bending the left and right sides of the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 at a predetermined angle or in a predetermined curved or curved shape, and / or the bent portions 2a-2c are provided so as to face the left and right sides of the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 (first bending process). It is preferable that the bent portions 2a-2c are provided on each of the left and right sides of the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 by bending the left and right sides of the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 by bending the left and right sides of the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 by bending the left and right sides of the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2, and / or the bent portions 2a-2c are provided so as to face the left and right sides of the V-shaped or U-shaped member. However, as long as the bent portions 2a-2c can exert an elastic force, they do not need to be symmetrical, and the bent portions 2a-2c may face each other in an oblique direction (FIG. 16(b)). That is, when a single, large, flat member 2 is bent into the V-shape or U-shape, the restoring force or elastic force F1 that tries to return it to its original shape as a single flat member is utilized to clamp the hose H or the like (use of a first bending stress). Also, when a single, large, flat member (clamping member having wavy sides) 2 is bent into the V-shape or U-shape, the restoring force or elastic force F2 that tries to return it to its original shape as a single flat member is utilized to clamp the hose or the nozzle (use of a second bending stress).
[0025] Second Embodiment 7 to 9 are perspective views showing a second embodiment of the present invention. The clamping tool 11 of this embodiment includes a support base 3 that supports the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2, and is provided with a locking portion 3a that locks the bent portions 2a to 2c of the V-shaped or U-shaped member from the outside. The support base portion 3a of this embodiment is provided in a cross-sectional arc shape with an opening at the top, and the shape of the left and right tips of the arc shape can be changed, and the structure allows the clamping tool 1 to change its position and lock onto the multiple bent portions 2a to 2c and the bent portions 2a to 2c facing each other on the left and right. The clamping tool 1 of this embodiment is configured to obtain a stronger clamping force as it goes downwards of the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2. That is, the gap for clamping the hose H is narrow, and the bent portions 2a to 2c are arranged opposite each other, and a stronger elastic force is exerted as it goes downwards. The support base 3 can support the V-shaped or U-shaped member (clamping member) 2 by forming a groove 3m to support the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 (FIGS. 9(a)(b)). The groove 3m is preferably configured to have an uneven or arcuate shape to support the lower bottom portion 2e of the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2. For example, if the groove 3m is made approximately V-shaped or approximately U-shaped to correspond to the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2, attachment and detachment can be easily performed and stable support can be achieved (FIGS. 9(a)-(e)).
[0026] Therefore, according to this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the expansion portion 2d of the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 is pinched with the fingers and opened to the left and right, and the hoses H are inserted to attach it, and then the locking portion 3a of the support base 3 is locked to the multiple bent portions 2a to 2c from the outside (the locking portion is locked so as to hang them from the outside, so that there are as few contact parts as possible), and the hoses H, nozzles N, etc. can be clamped with an elastic force that is suited to their size, shape, material, weight, etc. (the elastic force is more likely to be exerted).
[0027] (Third embodiment) FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing a clamp for long parts such as hoses and nozzles according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the clamping tool 21 of this embodiment, the bent portions 2a-2c of the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 are configured as upper bent portions 2a-2c (upper clamping portion) and lower bent portions 2a-2c (lower clamping portion). The nozzles N1 include a nozzle portion having a large diameter portion N3, a medium diameter portion N2, and a small diameter portion N3, and a control portion, and the control portion includes a hand control portion Nh for holding the nozzle portion Na by hand. In addition, it is difficult to support the tip of nozzles N such as water pipes at a constant angle (it is difficult to support a bathtub shower at a constant angle), and parts of different shapes and sizes are generated at corners of a certain angle, and the member of the specified size is attached and detached. However, the clamping tool of this embodiment is provided with a plurality of angular parts of a certain size, curved parts 2b bent into a certain curve, and / or curved parts 2c bent into a certain curvature, so that, for example, the hoses H, nozzles N, and the liquid pressure / liquid volume adjustment part at the tip can clamp with a clamping force according to their shape and size. In addition, the manual control part Nh can be stored in the lower part of the plurality of curved parts 2c to prevent malfunction.
[0028] Here, in the clamping tool 21 of this embodiment, the support base 3 is provided in a circular shape, and a groove 3m is provided for inserting the lower bottom of the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2. Such a support base 3 may be configured as a rectangular support base, and a rectangular groove 3m may be formed to guide the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 into the groove 3m, so that it can move in the length direction like a rail (FIG. 9(b)). The groove 3m may be provided with uneven parts (wave-shaped or corrugated parts consisting of recesses x1, x2 and protrusions y1, y2) xy corresponding to the angular part, the curved part 2c, and the curved surface part 2c of the member 2 of the predetermined size, so that the angular part 2a, the curved part 2b, and the curved surface part 2c of the member 2 of the predetermined size are elastically deformed relative to the protrusions 1x and 2x to be deformed into an appropriate shape and size.
[0029] 12 to 15 are schematic diagrams showing the relationship between the support base 3 and the clamping member 2 in the case where the support base 3 is formed in a groove shape in the clamping tool 1, 11 for clamping nozzles or the like according to the embodiment of the present invention. The groove 3m is provided so that the hoses H, nozzles N, etc. can be inserted from above. Inside the groove 3, a locking portion 3b (locking portion of the groove 3m) for the bent portions 2a to 2c of the clamping member 2 is provided. Therefore, attachment and detachment are made easy by the elasticity of the bent portions 2a to 2c. The locking portion 3a may have an uneven shape with an arc-shaped cross section (FIGS. 12(a)(b)), an uneven shape with a triangular cross section (FIGS. 12(c)(d)), etc.
[0030] (Fourth embodiment) 20(a) and (b) are perspective views showing a clamping tool 31 for long parts such as hoses and nozzles according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the clamping tool 31 of this embodiment, the V-shaped or U-shaped bending member 2 is engaged with the engaging portion 3a of the support base 3, and the V-shaped or U-shaped bending member 2 does not come into contact with any portion of the support base 3 other than this engaging portion. That is, the central bending bottom portion 2e of the V-shaped or U-shaped bending member 2 is suspended in the gap portion 3f without coming into contact with the support base 3. Therefore, the central bending bottom portion 2e of the V-shaped or U-shaped bending member is suspended in the gap portion 3f of the support base 3, and as a result, the bending stress of the V-shaped or U-shaped bending member 2 acts, and the V-shaped or U-shaped bending member 2 is engaged by elastic force. Here, there is a pipe joint that is T-shaped and is called a piping tee. It has connection ports on three sides and is also called a branch. It is often used in water supply and drainage pipes and optical refinery equipment, and is available in a variety of materials and pipe diameters (regardless of type, anything that is T-shaped is called a tee), but it is possible to form the locking portion 3a by cutting out a part of this tee (a part of the piping tee is cut out and used as the support base 3). When attaching the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 to these support bases 3 (including the piping tee), it is preferable to minimize the contact area (the hanging type is preferable), and in particular to eliminate contact at the central bent bottom 2e, which allows the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 and the bent portions 2a to 2c to exhibit strong elasticity (restoring force).
[0031] Fifth embodiment 21(a)(b) and 22(a)(b) are perspective views showing clamps 41A and 41B for holding long parts such as hoses and nozzles according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the clamping tools 41A and 41B of this embodiment, the support base 3 to which the V-shaped or U-shaped member 2 is attached is cut into a cylindrical shape, and holds the lowest curved surface portion (bent portion) 2a-2c so as to envelop it. That is, in the clamping tools 41A and 41B of this embodiment, water is sprayed in a shower-like (radial) manner from the tip portion Na of the cylindrical nozzles or other long portion N made of synthetic resin, but when the hoses H or the long portion Nb2 of the nozzles or other long portion Nb2 equipped with the hoses H on the rear end side are inserted and used, the nozzles or hoses H expand or contract due to the force of the water, but even if the amount of water is small and the nozzles or hoses H contract (even if the nozzles or hoses move violently or rotate due to the force of the water), the elastic force of the bent portion 2b controls the clamping force to be strong or weak in response to this. That is, even if the nozzles or hoses H move violently or rotate due to the force of the water, the elastic force of the bent portions 2a to 2c must be controlled to clamp tightly or weakly accordingly (see Figs. 21(a) and (b)), but they are stably and securely clamped. Also, even if the shape of the long portion Nb2 of the hoses H or nozzles is complex, or even if the tip portion Na of the nozzle control device N is tilted, they are stably and securely clamped (Figs. 22(a) to (d)). FIG. 23 is a perspective view showing a clamping tool 51 for long parts such as hoses and nozzles according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the clamping tool 51 of this embodiment, a V-shaped slit 2v having a wavy side is formed in the center. A bar (horizontal stop bar) that horizontally supports a bar (horizontal stop bar) Ba for preventing the intrusion of a car or the like can be clamped in the V-shaped slit 2v, and the bar (horizontal stop bar) Ba can be clamped in a cross shape (as if crossed). In addition, the left and right ends of the clamping tool 51 are easily bent by forming the V-shaped slit 2v having a wavy side, and therefore, even if the nozzles N having a complex shape are tilted or violently moved by the force of water, a flexible clamping state is exhibited (FIG. 23). By using the clamping tools 41A, 41B, 51, when watering a garden or field (shower water discharge Sw) or washing vegetables, the tip Na of the nozzle control device N can be directed obliquely upward or downward (X direction in FIG. 24), and even if the nozzle N or the hose H moves violently or rotates due to the force of water (amount of water discharged), the clamping part 2 has elasticity to absorb such violent forces, stably sprays water Sw, and securely clamps (FIG. 24). The clamping tool of this embodiment has multiple curved bent parts, and a semi-curved part 2h is formed on the lower end side, which can clamp small-diameter nozzles and hoses at this position, but can also be used as a clamping base gap part 2h that does not clamp the nozzles N, etc., but clamps the nozzles, etc., clamped above it with elasticity (FIG. 24(b)).
[0032] As described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention. The clamping tools 1 to 51 of the present embodiment can be made of synthetic resin, rubber, metal, leaf spring, etc. In addition, although the present embodiment has been described using hoses and nozzles as examples, the present invention can be widely applied to clamping shower devices and various other devices (long parts). For example, it is possible to stably clamp a bar (horizontal stop bar) that horizontally supports a bar (horizontal stop bar) for preventing the entry of automobiles, etc., which is found at construction sites and parking lots, even if the bar has a different thickness or shape, and it is easy to attach and detach.
