[0010] <First Embodiment> [Structure of Mounting Structure S] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the structure of the mounting structure S according to the first embodiment.

[0011] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the structure of a conventional mounting structure T as a comparative example.

FIG. 3(b) is a diagram showing a state in which the position of the second mounting member 22 is adjusted. FIG. 3(c) is a diagram showing a state in which the object A to be mounted is mounted on the pole P.

[0013] The mounting structure S is a structure for mounting the object A to be mounted on the pole P. Details of the conventional mounting structure T will be described later. The object A to be mounted is, for example, a radio. The pole P extends in the vertical direction. The mounting structure S has a support member 1 and a mounting member 2.

[0014] The support member 1 is a member that supports the object A to be mounted. The support member 1 has a U-shape. The object A to be mounted is supported by the support member 1 using a plurality of bolts.

[0015] The mounting member 2 is a member for mounting the support member 1 on the pole P. The mounting member 2 has a first mounting member 21, a second mounting member 22, and a plurality of coupling members 23.

[0016] The support member 1 is connected to the first attachment member 21. The first attachment member 21 has an attachment plate portion 211. The attachment plate portion 211 extends in the extending direction of the pole P. A plurality of holes are formed in the attachment plate portion 211. A coupling member 23 described later is inserted into the plurality of holes of the attachment plate portion 211. The first attachment member 21 and the support member 1 are connected by connecting the regions extending from both ends of the attachment plate portion 211 toward the support member 1 to the support member 1 respectively.

[0017] One of the plurality of holes in the attachment plate portion 211 is provided on one side in the width direction of the attachment plate portion 211. The other hole of the plurality of holes in the attachment plate portion 211 is provided on the other side in the width direction of the attachment plate portion 211. Details of the first attachment member 21 will be described later.

[0018] The second attachment member 22 forms a space in which the pole P extends between the second attachment member 22 and the first attachment member 21. A plurality of holes are formed in the second attachment member 22. A coupling member 23 described later is inserted into the plurality of holes of the second attachment member 22. One of the plurality of holes in the second attachment member 22 is provided on one side in the width direction of the second attachment member 22. The other hole of the plurality of holes in the second attachment member 22 is provided on the other side in the width direction of the second attachment member 22.

[0019] As the plurality of coupling members 23, a first coupling member 23A and a second coupling member 23B are provided. The first coupling member 23A and the second coupling member 23B are, for example, bolts. The first coupling member 23A is inserted into one hole of the attachment plate portion 211 of the first attachment member 21 and one hole of the second attachment member 22. The first coupling member 23A and the second coupling member 23B are inserted into the holes of the attachment plate portion 211 of the first attachment member 21 and the holes of the second attachment member 22 respectively from the side of the second attachment member 22 toward the side of the first attachment member 21, and couple the first attachment member 21 and the second attachment member 22.

[0020] The first coupling member 23A and the second coupling member 23B are located on both sides of the pole P respectively in a state where the pole P extends between the first attachment member 21 and the second attachment member 22.

[0021] [Structure of the First Mounting Member 21] As shown in FIG. 1, the first mounting member 21 has a guide portion 213. The guide portion 213 is provided on the mounting plate portion 211. The guide portion 213 is provided on the surface of the mounting plate portion 211 on the side of the second mounting member 22. The guide portion 213 is, for example, cylindrical. Threads may be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder, but they are not formed in this embodiment. The guide portion 213 guides the coupling member 23 inserted therein toward the hole of the mounting plate portion 211 of the first mounting member 21.

[0022] In the mounting structure S, a first guide portion 213A and a second guide portion 213B are provided as the guide portion 213. These guide portions have the same structure. The first guide portion 213A is provided on one side in the width direction of the mounting plate portion 211. The first guide portion 213A guides the first coupling member 23A inserted therein toward one hole of the mounting plate portion 211 of the first mounting member 21.

[0023] The second guide portion 213B is provided on the other side in the width direction of the mounting plate portion 211.

[0024] A fixing plate 215 is attached to the end of the guide portion 213. Specifically, the fixing plate 215 is attached to the end of the guide portion 213 on the side of the first mounting member 21 in the longitudinal direction. By fixing the fixing plate 215 to the mounting plate portion 211, the guide portion 213 is provided on the mounting plate portion 211.

[0025] In the mounting structure S, a first fixing plate 215A and a second fixing plate 215B are provided as a plurality of fixing plates 215. The first fixing plate 215A is attached to the end of the first guide portion 213A, for example, by welding.

[0026] The second fixing plate 215B is attached to the end of the second guide portion 213B. The second fixing plate 215B has the same structure as the first fixing plate 215A.

[0027] In the attachment structure S, since the guide portion 213 is fixed through the plate-shaped fixing plate in this way, the guide portion 213 can be stably fixed to the attachment plate portion 211.

[0028] With the pole P extending between the first attachment member 21 and the second attachment member 22, the first coupling member 23A is inserted into one hole of the second attachment member 22, the inside of the first guide portion 213A, and one hole of the attachment plate portion 211, and the second coupling member 23B is inserted into the other hole of the second attachment member 22, the inside of the second guide portion 213B, and the other hole of the attachment plate portion 211. Then, the first coupling member 23A and the second coupling member 23B are tightened to nuts on the side of the attachment plate portion 211 opposite to the side where the first guide portion 213A and the second guide portion 213B are provided, thereby being coupled to the first attachment member 21.

[0029] [Structure of the conventional attachment structure T] The conventional attachment structure T is different from the attachment structure S in that the first attachment member 31 of the attachment member 3 does not have the guide portion 213. Since the others are the same as the attachment structure S, the same structural parts are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0030] [Attachment procedure of the object A to the pole P in the conventional attachment structure T] The attachment procedure of the object A to the pole P in the attachment structure T will be described with reference to FIG. 3. First, the position of the attachment structure T is adjusted with the first coupling member 23A not inserted into one hole of the attachment plate portion 211 of the first attachment member 31 (FIG. 3(a)). At this time, the nut of the second coupling member 23B is loosened. Next, the position of the second attachment member 22 is adjusted so that the pole P extends between the first attachment member 31 and the second attachment member 22 (FIG. 3(b)).

[0031] Then, with the first coupling member 23A inserted into one hole of the mounting plate portion 211 of the first mounting member 31 and one hole of the second mounting member 22, the first coupling member 23A and the second coupling member 23B are evenly tightened with nuts respectively, thereby coupling the first mounting member 31 and the second mounting member 22 (FIG. 3(c)). In this way, the object A to be mounted is mounted on the pole P in the mounting structure T.

[0032] However, in the conventional mounting structure T, the first coupling member 23A and the second coupling member 23B cannot be evenly tightened with nuts respectively, and the second mounting member 22 may be inclined from a state parallel to the first mounting member 31, or the second mounting member 22 may be positioned below the first mounting member 31 due to its own weight. As a result, in the conventional mounting structure T, the coupling member 23 is inserted obliquely into the hole of the mounting plate portion 211 of the first mounting member 31, and the thread of the coupling member 23 is damaged when the coupling member 23 is tightened to the nut.

[0033] On the other hand, in the mounting structure S, as described above, the first mounting member 21 has the guide portion 213. As a result, in the mounting structure S, the coupling member 23 inserted into the guide portion 213 is guided toward the hole of the mounting plate portion 211 of the first mounting member 21. Since the coupling member 23 is guided in this way, it is difficult for the coupling member 23 to be inserted obliquely into the hole of the mounting plate portion 211 of the first mounting member 21. Therefore, it is difficult for the thread of the coupling member 23 to be damaged when the coupling member 23 is tightened to the nut. Thus, in the mounting structure S, the parts are less likely to be damaged, and the object A to be mounted can be mounted at a desired fixed position.

[0034] [Effect of the mounting structure S according to the first embodiment] In the mounting structure S according to the first embodiment, as described above, the first mounting member 21 is the cylindrical guide portion 213 provided on the mounting plate portion 211, and has the guide portion 213 that guides the coupling member 23 inserted therein toward the hole of the mounting plate portion 211 of the first mounting member 21.

[0035] With such a configuration, the coupling member 23 inserted inside the guide portion 213 is guided toward the hole of the mounting plate portion 211 of the first mounting member 21. Since the coupling member 23 is guided in this way, it becomes difficult for the coupling member 23 to be obliquely inserted into the hole of the mounting plate portion 211 of the first mounting member 21. Therefore, when the coupling member 23 is tightened to the nut, the thread of the coupling member 23 is less likely to be damaged. Thus, in the mounting structure S, the components are less likely to be damaged, and the object A to be mounted can be mounted at a desired fixed position.

[0036] <Second Embodiment> The mounting structure Sa according to the second embodiment is different from the mounting structure S according to the first embodiment in that the first mounting member 21a has a guide portion 213a instead of the guide portion 213, and a nut is not provided on the side opposite to the side where the guide portion 213a of the mounting plate portion 211 is provided. Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

[0037] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the structure of the mounting structure Sa according to the second embodiment. Note that FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the structure of the mounting structure Sa as viewed from above.

[0038] The mounting structure Sa has a support member 1 and a mounting member 2a. The mounting member 2a is a member for mounting the support member 1 to the pole P, similar to the mounting member 2. The mounting member 2a has a first mounting member 21a, a second mounting member 22, and a plurality of coupling members 23.

[0039] The support member 1 is connected to the first mounting member 21a in the same manner as the first mounting member 21. The first mounting member 21a has a mounting plate portion 211 and a guide portion 213a.

[0040] The guide portion 213a is provided on the mounting plate portion 211 in the same manner as the guide portion 213. The guide portion 213a is provided on the surface of the mounting plate portion 211 on the side of the second mounting member 22. The guide portion 213a is cylindrical. The guide portion 213a guides the coupling member 23 inserted inside it toward the hole of the mounting plate portion 211 of the first mounting member 21a.

[0041] On the inner surface of the guide portion 213a, a groove into which the coupling member 23 is screwed is formed. The guide portion 213a is, for example, a nut.

[0042] The mounting structure Sa is provided with a first guide portion 213Aa and a second guide portion 213Ba as a plurality of guide portions 213a. The first guide portion 213Aa is provided on one side in the width direction of the mounting plate portion 211. The second guide portion 213Ba is provided on the other side in the width direction of the mounting plate portion 211.

[0043] With the pole P extending between the first mounting member 21a and the second mounting member 22, the first coupling member 23A is inserted into one hole of the second mounting member 22 and the inside of the first guide portion 213Aa, and the second coupling member 23B is inserted into the other hole of the second mounting member 22 and the inside of the second guide portion 213Ba. Then, by tightening the first coupling member 23A and the second coupling member 23B to the first guide portion 213Aa and the second guide portion 213Ba, respectively, it is coupled to the first mounting member 21a.

[0044] At this time, the tip of the first coupling member 23A that has passed through the inside of the first guide portion 213Aa is inserted into one hole of the mounting plate portion 211. Also, the tip of the second coupling member 23B that has passed through the inside of the second guide portion 213Ba is inserted into the other hole of the mounting plate portion 211.

[0045] [Effect of the mounting structure Sa according to the second embodiment] In the mounting structure Sa, compared with the nut in the mounting structure T, since the guide portion 213a approaches the second mounting member 22, the position where the coupling member 23 is tightened and the position where torque is applied to the coupling member 23 are close to each other, making it difficult for the coupling member 23 to become inclined.

[0046] In the attachment structure Sa, since the guide portion 213a can be seen from the side of the second attachment member 22 as compared with the nut in the attachment structure T, it is easier to visually confirm the position where the coupling member 23 is tightened, and thus the coupling member 23 can be tightened to the guide portion 213a while visually checking whether the coupling member 23 is skewed.

[0047] Therefore, in the attachment structure Sa, since it is difficult for the coupling member 23 to be skewed in this way, the thread of the coupling member 23 is less likely to be damaged when the coupling member 23 is tightened to the guide portion 213a. Thus, in the attachment structure Sa, the parts are less likely to be damaged, and the attachment object A can be attached to the desired fixed position. Note that in the configuration of FIG. 4, a nut into which the tip of the coupling member 23 is screwed may be further provided on the back side of the attachment plate portion 211.

[0048] As described above, the present invention has been described using the embodiments. However, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope described in the above embodiments, and various modifications and changes are possible within the scope of the gist. For example, all or part of the device can be configured by being functionally or physically dispersed and integrated in an arbitrary unit. Also, new embodiments resulting from an arbitrary combination of a plurality of embodiments are also included in the embodiments of the present invention. The effects of the new embodiments resulting from the combination have the effects of the original embodiments combined.
