[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2003-231525 A

[0004] However, the method of transporting luggage described in the above Patent Document 1 has a problem in that the luggage and the pallet are fixed with a stretch film, and therefore the fixing strength is weak. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention has been made to address the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a hook body for a pallet that can firmly secure cargo to a pallet.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is characterized in that it provides a hook body for a pallet which is attached to a pallet having a loading section on which cargo is placed which is constructed of a thin plate-like sheet body extending in at least one of the vertical and horizontal directions, the hook body being inserted while sandwiching the sheet body, and the hook body having an external connecting portion for connecting at least one of a belt, a string and a hook which are constructed separately from the hook body.

[0007] According to the features of the present invention configured in this manner, the pallet hook body can be hooked onto a thin plate body on a pallet, so that the cargo and pallet can be firmly integrated by connecting a belt, string or hooking device (e.g., a J-shaped hook) for tying cargo via the external connecting portion of the hook body.

[0008] Another feature of the present invention is that the pallet hook body further comprises a connecting body extending in a belt-like, string-like or rod-like shape, and the hook body is connected to at least one of the ends of the connecting body via an external connecting part.

[0009] According to the features of the present invention configured in this manner, the pallet hook body is provided with a connecting body extending from the hook body, so that by connecting a belt, string or hook for tying cargo to this connecting body, cargo on the pallet can be secured with a high degree of freedom.

[0010] Another feature of the present invention is that the pallet hook body further comprises a fastening device connector which is provided directly or indirectly on the hook body via an external connecting portion and to which a fastening device for fastening cargo on the loading portion can be detachably connected.

[0011] According to another feature of the present invention configured in this manner, the pallet hook body can be hooked onto a thin plate body on the pallet, and a fastening belt, string or hook for fastening cargo can be attached to the fastening device connecting body provided directly or indirectly on the hook body, thereby firmly integrating the cargo and the pallet.

[0012] Another feature of the present invention is that, in the pallet hook body, the fastener connector is provided movably relative to the hook body.

[0013] According to this, the pallet hook body can be connected to the fastener with a high degree of freedom since the fastener connector is movably connected to the hook body.

[0014] Another feature of the present invention is that the pallet hook body further comprises a connecting body that connects the hook body and the fastener connecting body.

[0015] According to this, since the pallet hook body is equipped with a connecting body that connects the hook body and the fastening device connecting body, the fastening device can be connected at a position away from the hook body, allowing for a highly flexible connection to the fastening device.

[0016] Another feature of the present invention is that in the pallet hook body, the connecting body is formed in the shape of a belt or string that can be bent freely, so that it can be deformed to conform to the shape of the thin plate body and can be pulled out in the desired direction relative to the thin plate body, allowing for highly flexible fastening.

[0017] Another feature of the present invention is that in the pallet hook body, the connecting body is formed in a belt or string shape that is flexible and can stand on its own.

[0018] According to this, the hook body for the pallet is formed in a belt or string shape in which the connecting body is flexible yet self-supporting, so that the connecting body can be arranged to stand upright relative to the mounting portion of the pallet or extended horizontally, making it easier to connect the fastening device.

[0019] Another feature of the present invention is that in the pallet hook body, the fastener connector is formed in a ring shape.

[0020] According to this, since the fastener connector is formed in a ring shape, the pallet hook body can easily hook or remove the fastener belt or hook. In this case, it is preferable that the fastener connector is formed in a size that allows multiple fastener belts or hooks to be hung on one fastener connector.

[0021] Another feature of the present invention is that in the pallet hook body, the insertion opening of the hook body, into which the thin plate body is inserted, opens toward the side of the fastener connecting body.

[0022] According to this, the pallet hook body has an insertion opening in the hook body, through which the thin plate body is inserted, that opens on the side of the fastening device connecting body, so that the hook body can be easily hooked onto the thin plate body by grasping and pulling the connecting body.

[0023] Another feature of the present invention is that, in the pallet hook body, the insertion opening of the hook body, into which the thin plate body is inserted, opens toward a side perpendicular to the side of the fastener connecting body.

[0024] According to this, the hook body for a pallet has an insertion opening in the hook body, through which the thin plate body is inserted, which opens in a direction perpendicular to the fastening device connecting body side, so that the hook body, which is pulled upward, can be reliably hooked onto the thin plate body even when the thin plate body on the pallet is formed to extend horizontally.

[0025] Another feature of the present invention is that, in the pallet hook body, the hook body is composed of at least two plate-shaped bodies, at least one of the two clamping pieces that clamp the thin plate body, and the clamping pieces are spaced apart from each other.

[0026] According to this, the hook body for a pallet is configured such that at least one of the two clamping pieces that clamp the thin plate body in the hook body is composed of at least two plate-shaped bodies spaced apart from each other, so that even if a thin plate-shaped rib is formed in a direction perpendicular to the thin plate body, the hook body can be hooked onto the thin plate body while avoiding the rib.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0028] Hereinafter, one embodiment of a pallet hook body according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a schematic external configuration of a pallet hook body 100 according to the present invention. This pallet hook body 100 is a device for connecting a fastening device 20 for fastening a cargo WK placed on a pallet 10 to the pallet 10. Here, the cargo WK may be the article itself to be transported or stored, or may be a container made of cardboard, wood, or metal that contains the article.

[0029] Before describing the pallet hook body 100 according to the present invention, the pallet 10 and fastening device 20 in which the pallet hook body 100 is used will be described.

[0030] (Palette 10 configuration) 2, the pallet 10 is a resin platform on which the luggage WK is placed to facilitate transportation, and is mainly composed of a placement portion 11, a bottom portion 15, and pillar portions 16. The pallet 10 is publicly known.

[0031] The placement portion 11 is a portion on which the luggage WK is placed, and is formed in a flat plate shape extending in the horizontal direction. In this embodiment, the placement portion 11 is formed in a rectangular shape in a plan view. The placement portion 11 has a lattice portion 11a formed in a lattice shape with through holes penetrating in the vertical direction, and a flat surface portion 11b formed in a flat surface without openings such as through holes or recesses.

[0032] Here, two directions perpendicular to each other in the horizontal direction in which the mounting portion 11 is formed are the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, and the up-down direction perpendicular to the mounting portion 11 (XY plane) is the Z-axis direction. In this embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the mounting portion 11 is the X-axis direction, and the short side direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the mounting portion 11 is the Y-axis direction.

[0033] The lattice portion 11a is formed in a lattice shape having through holes extending in the vertical direction by the thin plate-like upright thin plate members 12a and 12b, which stand up vertically and extend in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, respectively, being perpendicular to each other. In this embodiment, the lattice portion 11a is composed of a set of square through holes and a set of rectangular through holes in a plan view. Note that, although the lattice portion 11a is composed of through holes in this embodiment, it may be composed of holes with a bottom that do not penetrate.

[0034] The flat surface portion 11b is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in plan view at the center, the four corners, and the center of each of the four sides of the mounting portion 11, which is formed in a rectangular shape in plan view. The mounting portion 11 can be configured with only the lattice portion 11a, omitting the flat surface portion 11b. The mounting portion 11 is formed with horizontal thin plate members 13a and 13b.

[0035] The horizontal thin plate members 13a and 13b are thin plate-like portions constituting a part of each of the four sides of the mounting portion 11, and are formed to extend in the horizontal direction. In this case, the horizontal thin plate member 13a constitutes a part of the four sides on the upper surface of the mounting portion 11. Specifically, the horizontal thin plate member 13a is formed between adjacent pillar portions on the four sides of the mounting portion 11.

[0036] On the other hand, the horizontal thin plate body 13b is formed below the horizontal thin plate body 13a at a position opposite to the horizontal thin plate body 13a with a gap therebetween, extending parallel to the horizontal thin plate body 13a. An upright thin plate body 14 is formed between the horizontal thin plate body 13a and the horizontal thin plate body 13b.

[0037] The standing thin plate members 14 are thin plate-like portions that function as ribs for reinforcing the horizontal thin plate members 13a and 13b, and are formed in an upright state between the horizontal thin plate members 13a and 13b. The standing thin plate members 14 are formed intermittently at approximately equal intervals in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction.

[0038] The bottom 15 is the portion on which the pallet 10 is placed on the floor surface, and is formed in a flat plate shape that is the same size as and extends parallel to the placement portion 11 at a position opposite the placement portion 11. The bottom 15 is configured to have a lattice portion (reference numeral omitted) and a flat plate portion (reference numeral omitted) that are configured similarly to the lattice portion 11a and the flat surface portion 11b of the placement portion 11. In this case, the four sides of the bottom 15 are formed so that the thickness of the portions adjacent to the lattice portion continuously increases toward the lattice portion, and horizontal thin plate members and upright thin plate members corresponding to the horizontal thin plate members 13a, 13b and the upright thin plate members 14 of the placement portion 11, respectively, are not formed.

[0039] The pillars 16 are portions that connect the mounting portion 11 and the bottom portion 15 to each other, and are formed in a pillar shape extending in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction) in the figure. The pillars 16 are formed in a quadrangular pillar shape at the center, the four corners, and the centers of the four sides of the mounting portion 11 and the bottom portion 15, which are each formed in a square shape in a plan view or a bottom view. That is, the pillars 16 are formed at positions corresponding to the nine flat surface portions 11b, respectively.

[0040] The placement portion 11, bottom portion 15, and pillars 16 of this pallet 10 are integrally formed by integral molding of a resin material. Note that this pallet 10 can also use the bottom portion 15 as a surface for placing luggage WK by placing the placement portion 11 on the floor surface.

[0041] (Configuration of fastening device 20) The fastening device 20 is a known device for fixing the cargo WK placed on the pallet 10 to the pallet 10. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 3, the fastening device 20 is mainly composed of a first hook 21, a second hook 22, a first belt 23, a second belt 24, and a buckle 25.

[0042] The first hook 21 and the second hook 22 are components for hooking onto a fixing object to which the luggage WK is fixed, and are configured by forming a metal material into a J-shape in side view. In this case, the first hook 21 and the second hook 22 are each formed to be larger than the inner dimension (the size of the opening) of the lattice portion 11a of the pallet 10, and are formed to be of a size that makes them unable to be inserted into the lattice portion 11a.

[0043] The first belt 23 and the second belt 24 are belts that extend in a long band shape from the first hook 21 and the second hook 22 and are connected to the buckle 25, respectively.

[0044] The buckle 25 is a device that allows an operator to arbitrarily adjust the length of the pulled-out first belt 23. The buckle 25 can be a spring buckle, a ratchet buckle, an over-center buckle, a cam buckle, or a ladder buckle.

[0045] The fastening device 20 does not necessarily require the buckle 25 as long as it is configured with a hook such as the first hook 21 or the second hook 22 and a string-like body extending from the hook to be hung on the luggage WK. The fastening device 20 may also be configured with one or both of the first hook 21 and the second hook 22 omitted, or may be configured with three or more of them. The fastening device 20 may also be configured with a string-like rope or wire instead of a belt, and the belt may also be configured with a stretchable material such as a rubber cord.

[0046] (Configuration of pallet hook body 100) The pallet hook body 100 is mainly composed of a hook body 101, a connecting body 110, and a fastener connecting body 120.

[0047] The hook body 101 is a part that can be hooked onto the standing thin plate members 12a, 12b, the horizontal thin plate members 13a, 13b, or the standing thin plate member 14 (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as "each of the thin plate members") in the pallet 10, and is formed by forming a metal material into a J-shape in a side view. The hook body 101 includes a base portion 102 and a hook portion 104.

[0048] The base 102 is a portion for connecting the hook portion 104 to the connector 110, and is formed in a flat plate shape. The base 102 is formed with an external connecting portion 103 formed in a long hole shape for connecting through the connector 110.

[0049] The hook portion 104 is a portion that is hooked while sandwiching each of the thin plate bodies. Specifically, the hook portion 104 is composed of a one-side clamping piece 105 and an other-side clamping piece 106 that are positioned on both sides of each of the thin plate bodies and sandwich them.

[0050] The one-side clamping piece 105 is a portion that is disposed on one of both sides of each of the thin plate bodies and cooperates with the other-side clamping piece 106 to clamp each of the thin plate bodies, and is formed by extending directly from the base 102. In this embodiment, the one-side clamping piece 105 is formed with a width shorter than the width of the base 102.

[0051] The other-side clamping piece 106 is a part that is disposed on the other of both sides of each of the thin plate bodies and cooperates with the one-side clamping piece 105 to clamp each of the thin plate bodies, and extends directly from the one-side clamping piece 105 in a U-shape and is disposed opposite the one-side clamping piece 105 with a gap therebetween. In this case, the hook portion 104 is formed such that the inner distance (gap) between the one-side clamping piece 105 and the other-side clamping piece 106 is the same as or slightly wider than the thickness of each of the thin plate bodies.

[0052] In addition, the length between the outer surfaces of the one-side clamping piece 105 and the other-side clamping piece 106, i.e., the thickness of the hook portion 104, is formed to be shorter than the inner dimension (length of the opening portion) of the lattice portion 11a of the pallet 10, and is formed to a size that can be inserted into the lattice portion 11a.

[0053] As a result, an opening 104a is formed at the tip of the other-side clamping piece 106 and the one-side clamping piece 105 for inserting each of the thin plate bodies into the hook portion 104, and the other end at the rear side is closed to form a U-shape when viewed from the side.

[0054] The connector 110 is a part for connecting the hook body 101 and the fastener connector 120, and is made of a belt made of resin fibers woven in a strip shape. In this case, the connector 110 is made by sewing two folded belt fabrics together with a sewing thread 111, so that the connector 110 has flexibility and is rigid enough to stand on its own (stand up). In this embodiment, the connector 110 is formed to a length of about 10 cm, but it is preferable to form the connector 110 to a length longer than the depth of the lattice portion 11a of the pallet 10. The length of the connector 110 is determined appropriately according to the specifications of the luggage WK, the pallet 10, the fastener 20, or the fastening mode.

[0055] One end of this tether 110 is connected to an external connecting part 103 formed on the hook body 101, and the other end is connected to a ring-shaped fastener connector 120. In this case, the tether 110 is passed through the external connecting part 103 of the hook body 101 and through the ring-shaped fastener connector 120, so that the hook body 101 and the fastener connector 120 are movably connected to each other so that the orientations of the hook body 101 and the fastener connector 120 can be changed.

[0056] The fastener connecting body 120 is a portion to which the first hook 21 or the second hook 22 of the fastener 20 is connected, and is configured as a circular ring-shaped body made of metal. In this case, the fastener connecting body 120 is formed to have an inner diameter larger than the width of the opening portion of the lattice portion 11a of the pallet 10.

[0057] (Operation of pallet hook body 100) Next, a description will be given of the operation of the pallet hook body 100 configured as described above. An operator can attach the pallet hook body 100 to the pallet 10 before or after placing the cargo WK on the pallet 10.

[0058] Specifically, the worker hooks the hook portion 104 of the hook body 101 of the pallet hook body 100 onto the standing thin plate members 12a, 12b, the horizontal thin plate members 13a, 13b, or the standing thin plate member 14 of the pallet 10. In this case, the worker can use various attachment methods depending on the manner in which the cargo WK is fastened by the fastening device 20.

[0059] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, an operator can attach the pallet hook body 100 to the pallet 10 by inserting the hook portion 104 into the lattice portion 11a, hooking it onto the lower edge of the upright thin plate body 12a, and pulling the connecting body 110 upward from the lattice portion 11a.

[0060] Also, for example, as shown in Figure 5, an operator can attach the pallet hook body 100 to the pallet 10 by hooking the hook portion 104 onto the upper edge of the standing thin plate body 12a, wrapping the connecting body 110 around the standing thin plate body 12a, and pulling it upward from the adjacent lattice portion 11a.

[0061] Also, for example, as shown in Figure 6, an operator can attach the pallet hook body 100 to the pallet 10 by hooking the hook portion 104 onto the upper edge of the upright thin plate body 12a and pulling the connecting body 110 horizontally out from the side of the pallet 10 through below the horizontal thin plate body 13b.

[0062] Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, a worker can attach the pallet hook body 100 to the pallet 10 by hooking the hook portion 104 onto the upper surface of the horizontal thin plate body 13a and extending the connecting body 110 upward.

[0063] Also, for example, an operator can attach the pallet hook body 100 to the pallet 10 by hooking the hook portion 104 onto the underside of the horizontal thin plate body 13a and pulling the connecting body 110 horizontally out from the side of the pallet 10, as shown in Figure 8.

[0064] Also, for example, an operator can attach the pallet hook body 100 to the pallet 10 by hooking the hook portion 104 onto the underside of the horizontal thin plate body 13b and pulling the connecting body 110 upward from the lattice portion 11a of the pallet 10, as shown in Figure 9.

[0065] The pallet hook bodies 100 are attached to the pallet 10 in a number corresponding to the first hooks 21 and second hooks 22 of the fastening device 20 to be used, but if one of the first hooks 21 and second hooks 22 of the fastening device 20 is hooked onto something other than the pallet hook body 100, then that number of pallet hook bodies 100 is not required.

[0066] Next, the worker hooks one of the first hook 21 and the second hook 22 of the fastening device 20 to the fastening device connector 120 of the pallet hook body 100 attached to the pallet 10, and hangs the first belt 23 and the second belt 24 on the cargo WK. Next, the worker hooks the other of the first hook 21 and the second hook 22 to another pallet hook body 100 (or an object to be hooked other than the pallet hook body 100), and then fastens the first belt 23 and the second belt 24 with the buckle 25, thereby securing the cargo WK to the pallet 10.

[0067] The worker can also connect the first hook 21 or the second hook 22 of two fastening devices 20 to one pallet hook body 100. If the worker finds that the cargo WK is not sufficiently fastened to the pallet 10, he or she can increase or decrease the number of pallet hook bodies 100 or replace them and fasten the cargo WK with the fastening devices 20 again.

[0068] Next, when unpacking, the worker operates the buckle 25 of the fastening device 20 to loosen the first belt 23 and the second belt 24, and then removes the first hook 21 and the second hook 22 from the fastening device connecting body 120 to release the cargo WK from its fixed state to the pallet 10. In this case, the worker may remove the pallet hook body 100 from the pallet 10, or may keep it attached without removing it.

[0069] As can be understood from the above operation description, according to the above embodiment, the pallet hook body 100 is capable of hooking the hook body 101 onto each of the thin plate bodies on the pallet 10, so that the luggage WK and the pallet 10 can be firmly integrated by hanging the first hook 21 or the second hook 22 of the fastening device 20 for fastening the luggage WK via the external connecting portion 103 on this hook body 101.

[0070] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the purpose of the present invention. In the description of each modification, the same components as those in the above-mentioned embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals in the drawings to which reference is made, and redundant descriptions are omitted as appropriate.

[0071] For example, in the above embodiment, the pallet hook body 100 is provided with the lashing device connector 120 on the hook body 101 via the connector 110. That is, the pallet hook body 100 is configured by indirectly providing the lashing device connector 120 to the hook body 101. However, the pallet hook body 100 may also be configured such that the lashing device connector 120 is provided directly on the hook body 101, omitting both the connector 110 and the lashing device connector 120.

[0072] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 10, the pallet hook body 100 can be constructed by forming a base 102 of the hook body 101 long toward the upper side in the figure, and forming an external connection part 103 consisting of a through hole in this base 102. In this case, it is preferable to form the base 102 to have a length longer than the depth of the lattice part 11a of the pallet 10, for example.

[0073] Also, as shown in FIG. 11, the pallet hook body 100 can omit the fastener connector 120. That is, the pallet hook body 100 can be configured in such a manner that the hook body 101 is connected to one end of the belt-like tether 110 via the external connector 103, and the other end is not connected to anything. In this case, in the pallet hook body 100 shown in FIG. 11, the other end of the tether 110 is formed in a ring shape, but it may be formed in a flat plate shape without being formed in a ring shape. In this way, the pallet hook body 100 can be connected by hooking the first hook 21 or the second hook 22 of the fastener 20 to the other end of the tether 110, or by tying a belt-like or string-like tether (not shown).

[0074] 12, the first belt 23 and the second belt 24 in the fastening device 20 in the above embodiment can be used as connecting bodies 110a and 110b, respectively, and hook bodies 101a and 101b can be provided on the connecting bodies 110a and 110b to form a fastening device 200 equipped with the pallet hook body 100. In this case, Tie body 110a and tie body 110b are connected via buckle 25. With this, the fastening device 200 can fasten the cargo WK to the pallet 10 by hooking the hook bodies 101a, 101b directly onto each of the thin plate bodies of the pallet 10. Note that the fastening device 200 can also be configured by omitting the buckle 25 and connecting the hook bodies 101a, 101b to both ends of one tie body 110. In this case, it is preferable that one tie body 110 has elasticity.

[0075] In the above embodiment, the fastener connecting body 120 is configured to be movable relative to the hook body 101 by the connecting body 110. However, the fastener connecting body 120 can also be fixedly connected to the hook body 101 directly by welding or the like.

[0076] In the above embodiment, the tether 110 is configured as a belt to be bendable. However, the tether 110 can also be configured as a rigid body such as a metal material to be unbendable. The tether 110 can also be configured as a metal or resin plate, wire, rod, or string.

[0077] In the above embodiment, the connector 110 is configured to be flexible and self-supporting by overlapping the belts and sewing them together with the sewing thread 111. This allows the worker to easily attach and detach the fastener connecting body 120. However, the connector 110 can also be configured to bend more freely by configuring the two belts as separate units rather than sewing the belts together, so that the connector 110 is not self-supporting (see FIG. 10).

[0078] In the above embodiment, the fastener connection body 120 is formed in a circular ring shape. However, it is sufficient that the fastener connection body 120 is configured so as to be detachable from the fasteners 20. Therefore, the fastener connection body 120 can be formed in a substantially C-shape in front view, for example, as shown in Fig. 13.

[0079] Also, in the above embodiment, the hook body 101 is formed with the opening 104a, into which each of the thin plate bodies of the pallet 10 is inserted, opening toward the side of the fastener connecting body 120. This allows the pallet hook body 100 to easily hook the hook body 101 onto each of the thin plate bodies by gripping and pulling the connecting body 110. However, it is sufficient that the hook body 101 is formed in a shape that allows it to be inserted while sandwiching each of the thin plate bodies of the pallet 10.

[0080] Therefore, the hook body 101 can be formed, for example, as shown in Figures 14 and 15, respectively, so that the opening 104a into which each of the thin plate bodies of the pallet 10 is inserted opens toward a side perpendicular to the side of the fastener connecting body 120.

[0081] In this case, one of the two clip pieces constituting the hook portion 104 is composed of two one-side clip pieces 105a, 105b extending in the Y-axis direction perpendicular to the base 102 extending in the Z-axis direction. In this case, the one-side clip piece 105a and the one-side clip piece 105b are formed to be spaced apart from each other in the X-axis direction via a gap S. In this case, the gap S is formed to a length equal to or greater than the thickness of the upright thin plate body 14 in the pallet 10.

[0082] On the other hand, the other of the two clamping pieces constituting the hook portion 104 is composed of one other-side clamping piece 106 extending in the Y-axis direction perpendicular to the base 102 extending in the Z-axis direction. In this case, the other-side clamping piece 106 is formed above the gap S. That is, the one-side clamping pieces 105a, 105b and the other-side clamping piece 106 are formed alternately.

[0083] The pallet hook body 100 configured in this manner can be attached to the pallet 10 by inserting the horizontal thin plate body 13a so as to sandwich it with the hook portion 104 and stretching the connecting body 110 upward (see FIG. 15). In this case, the hook portion 104 is inserted into the horizontal thin plate body 13a so that the upright thin plate body 14 is inserted into the gap S. In other words, the hook portion 104 can be attached to the horizontal thin plate body 13a in a state in which it straddles the upright thin plate body 14.

[0084] In addition, if there is no need to attach this hook portion 104 in a state spanning the standing thin plate body 14, the one-side clamping piece 105a and the one-side clamping piece 105b can be configured as a single one-side clamping piece 105.

[0085] In addition, in the pallet hook body 100 of the above embodiment, it is of course possible for the one-side clamping piece 105 constituting the hook portion 104 to be composed of two clamping pieces, one-side clamping piece 105a and one-side clamping piece 105b, which are spaced apart from each other, as shown in Figure 16.
