Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the long member holder 110, when inserting a screw, the fixing portion reinforcing rib 117 gets in the way. For example, the direction in which the screw and the tool for screwing are brought close to the insertion hole 115 is restricted, and the workability is poor. However, as shown in FIG. 17(b), in the long member holder 110, since the portion surrounded by the holding portions (the first holding portion 111 and the second holding portion 112) and the fixing portion reinforcing rib 117 forms a quadrangular shape in plan view, corners in the quadrangular shape are formed in the fixing portion 113, so the strength of the fixing portion 113 is low. If the height of the fixing portion reinforcing rib 117 is lowered to improve workability, there is a risk that the strength of the long member holder 110 cannot be ensured.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a novel long member holder capable of improving workability.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The long member holder according to the invention of claim 1 for achieving the above object is used for attaching a plurality of long members in parallel to a construction surface, and includes a first holding portion for holding a first long member, a second holding portion for holding a second long member, and a fixing portion provided between the first holding portion and the second holding portion and fixed to the construction surface. The fixing portion has an insertion hole for inserting a fixing screw, and a guide hole that penetrates between the insertion hole and an outer surface on the side opposite to the construction surface and has an inner diameter larger than that of the insertion hole. An opening edge of the guide hole on the outer surface is circular in plan view, and a portion of the opening edge on the piping direction side of the long member is lower in height from the construction surface than portions on the first holding portion side and the second holding portion side.

Effects of the Invention

[0007] According to the long member holder of the present invention, the opening edge of the guide hole is circular in plan view, and a portion of the opening edge of the guide hole on the piping direction side of the long member is lower in height from the construction surface than portions on the first holding portion side and the second holding portion side. Therefore, while ensuring the strength of the fixing portion, the height of the portion of the fixing portion on the piping direction side of the long member can be lowered. For example, in the operation of fixing the long member holder to the construction surface with screws, it is easy for a tool to approach the guide hole (insertion hole) also from the piping direction, and the workability is good.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the long body holder of the present invention is embodied will be described. As shown in Fig. 6, the long body holder 10 is used to attach the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2 for water supply and hot water supply as long bodies in parallel to the construction surface S.

[0010] As shown in Figs. 1 to 6, the long body holder 10 includes a first holding portion 11 that holds the first pipe 1, a second holding portion 12 that holds the second pipe 2, and a fixing portion 13 that is provided between the first holding portion 11 and the second holding portion 12 and is fixed to the construction surface S, and is integrally formed of a hard resin material such as polyethylene.

[0011] The first holding part 11 and the second holding part 12 are semi-cylindrical and open toward the construction surface S, and hold the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2 between them and the construction surface S respectively. The base end parts 11a, 12a of the first holding part 11 and the second holding part 12 in the circumferential direction are connected to the fixing part 13. The tip end parts 11b, 12b of the first holding part 11 and the second holding part 12 in the circumferential direction are arranged at positions away from the construction surface S in a state where the long body holder 10 is attached to the construction surface S.

[0012] On the inner circumferential surfaces of the first holding part 11 and the second holding part 12, a plurality (three rows in this embodiment) of holding part reinforcing ribs 14 extending in a direction orthogonal to the piping direction are respectively provided. Among the holding part reinforcing ribs 14, the holding part reinforcing ribs 14 provided at both ends of the first holding part 11 and the second holding part 12 in the piping direction form the end faces of the first holding part 11 and the second holding part 12 in the piping direction respectively.

[0013] On the inner circumferential surfaces of the holding part reinforcing ribs 14 provided at both ends of the first holding part 11 and the second holding part 12 in the piping direction, a pair of protrusions 14a are respectively provided at positions closer to the construction surface S than the central axes of the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2. The tips of the protrusions 14a are arc-shaped in a front view and elastically press the outer circumferential surfaces of the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2. Therefore, the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2 are suppressed from coming out of the first holding part 11 and the second holding part 12, and the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2 can be stably held.

[0014] Among the holding part reinforcing ribs 14, on the inner circumferential surface of the holding part reinforcing rib 14 provided at the center in the piping direction in the first holding part 11 and the second holding part 12, a regulating rib 14b is curved and extends in the circumferential direction. The regulating rib 14b abuts against the outer circumferential surfaces of the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2, and regulates the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2 from shifting in the piping direction with respect to the long body holder 10.

[0015] The fixing part 13 has an insertion hole 15, a guide hole 16, and a fixing part reinforcing rib 17. The insertion hole 15 is provided at the center of the fixing part 13 in a direction orthogonal to the piping direction, and opens toward the side opposite to the construction surface S through the guide hole 16. The long body holder 10 is fixed to the construction surface S via a screw 21 inserted through the insertion hole 15.

[0016] On the side opposite to the construction surface S in the insertion hole 15, a housing part 15a having an inner diameter larger than that of the insertion hole 15 is provided. The housing part 15a is a part for housing the head of the screw 21, and its inner peripheral surface is formed in a cylindrical surface shape with an inner diameter and height corresponding to the head of the screw 21.

[0017] The guide hole 16 is provided at the same axial position as the insertion hole 15 and penetrates between the insertion hole 15 and the outer surface on the side opposite to the construction surface S. The guide hole 16 is for guiding the tip of a tool when screwing the screw 21 into the construction surface S using a tool (not shown), and has an inner diameter larger than that of the insertion hole 15 (housing part 15a).

[0018] On the surface of the fixing part 13 on the construction surface S side, a plurality of (three rows in this embodiment) fixing part reinforcing ribs 17 extending in a direction orthogonal to the piping direction are provided. The fixing part reinforcing ribs 17 are respectively formed from the holding part reinforcing ribs 14 of the first holding part 11 to the holding part reinforcing ribs 14 of the second holding part 12.

[0019] Among the fixing part reinforcing ribs 17, the plate thickness of the fixing part reinforcing ribs 17 provided at both ends of the fixing part 13 in the piping direction is made larger than the plate thickness of the holding part reinforcing ribs 14 provided at both ends of the first holding part 11 and the second holding part 12 in the piping direction.

[0020] The surface on the side opposite to the insertion hole 15 in the fixing part reinforcing ribs 17 provided at both ends of the fixing part 13 in the piping direction forms the same surface as the surface on the side opposite to the insertion hole 15 in the holding part reinforcing ribs 14 provided at both ends of the first holding part 11 and the second holding part 12 in the piping direction.

[0021] On the surface of the long member holder 10 on the side of the construction surface S, the first holding portion 11, the second holding portion 12, and the fixing portion 13 are each provided with a pipe direction reinforcing rib 18 extending in the pipe direction. The height of the pipe direction reinforcing rib 18 is equal to the height of the intersecting reinforcing ribs (holding portion reinforcing rib 14, fixing portion reinforcing rib 17).

[0022] In the fixing portion 13, the tip ends of the fixing portion reinforcing rib 17 and the pipe direction reinforcing rib 18 are in contact with the construction surface S. At the tip end of the fixing portion reinforcing rib 17, arc-shaped corner portions 17a are respectively provided at the ends on the sides of the first holding portion 11 and the second holding portion 12.

[0023] The corner portion 17a serves as a guide when inserting the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2 into the first holding portion 11 and the second holding portion 12 respectively, and makes the insertion operation smooth. Also, in the insertion operation, the contact of the fixing portion reinforcing rib 17 with the outer peripheral surfaces of the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2 is softened, and it is possible to prevent the outer peripheral surfaces from being damaged.

[0024] The outer surface of the fixing portion 13 on the side opposite to the construction surface S has an inclined portion 19 and a concave portion 20. The inclined portions 19 are provided on the side of the first holding portion 11 and the side of the second holding portion 12, and are inclined so as to approach the construction surface S toward the insertion hole 15 when viewed from the pipe direction. The concave portion 20 is arc-shaped when viewed from the pipe direction. The inclined portion 19 on the side of the first holding portion 11 and the inclined portion 19 on the side of the second holding portion 12 are smoothly connected via the concave portion 20.

[0025] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the guide hole 16 opens in the inclined portion 19 and the concave portion 20. The opening edge 16a of the guide hole 16 is inclined so as to approach the construction surface S toward the center of the insertion hole 15 from the sides of the first holding portion 11 and the second holding portion 12 respectively. That is, among the opening edges 16a of the guide hole 16, the portion on the pipe direction side is lower in height from the construction surface S than the portions on the sides of the first holding portion 11 and the second holding portion 12.

[0026] Therefore, in the operation of fixing the long body holder 10 to the construction surface S with screws 21 using, for example, a tool (not shown), when approaching the guide hole 16 (insertion hole 15) from the piping direction while avoiding interference between the first pipe 1, the second pipe 2, the first holding portion 11, the second holding portion 12, and the tool, it is possible to suppress the portion on the piping direction side of the opening edge 16a of the guide hole 16 from interfering with the tool, and the workability is improved. In addition, the visibility of the opening edge 16a of the guide hole 16 is improved, and it is easy to align the tool with the guide hole.

[0027] Examples of the tool include a gas-powered screw driver (rivet driver). In the present embodiment, the inner peripheral surface of the guide hole 16 is formed to correspond to the outer peripheral surface shape of the tip of the screw driver (rivet driver), and has a cylindrical surface shape with a diameter larger than the inner diameter of the insertion hole 15 (accommodating portion 15a). That is, the opening edge 16a of the guide hole 16 has a circular shape in plan view.

[0028] Therefore, compared with the case where the inner peripheral surface of the guide hole 16 is a rectangular cylindrical surface, for example, it is not necessary to project the portion corresponding to the guide hole 16 in the radial direction of the guide hole 16 on the construction surface S side of the fixing portion 13, and the long body holder 10 can be miniaturized.

[0029] In the present embodiment, since the opening edge 16a of the guide hole 16 has a circular shape in plan view, no corner is formed in the fixing portion 13. Therefore, while ensuring the strength of the fixing portion 13, it is possible to lower the height of the portion on the piping direction side of the opening edge 16a of the guide hole 16.

[0030] In addition, in the present embodiment, since the holding portion reinforcing rib 14 and the fixing portion reinforcing rib 17 are provided on the surface of the long body holder 10 on the construction surface S side, the surface of the long body holder 10 on the side opposite to the construction surface S has a shape without a step in the piping direction except for the guide hole 16 (insertion hole 15). Therefore, for example, it is difficult for dust to accumulate on the surface of the long body holder 10 on the side opposite to the construction surface S.

[0031] Another embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 to 16 includes a first holding portion 11 that holds the first pipe 1 and a second holding portion 12 that holds a second pipe 2 having an outer diameter larger than that of the first pipe 1. The distance between the apex of the outer surface of the first holding portion 11 and the apex of the outer surface of the second holding portion 12, that is, the axial center distance between the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2, is set in accordance with the piping distance such as a header, for example.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 15, the guide hole 16 is arranged such that the central axis is located at an intermediate position between the apex of the outer surface of the first holding portion 11 and the apex of the outer surface of the second holding portion 12 when viewed from the piping direction. The recess 20 is formed such that the portion closest to the construction surface S is located at the position of the central axis of the guide hole 16 when viewed from the piping direction.

[0033] Of the opening edge 16a of the guide hole 16, the portion on the piping direction side is set lower in height from the construction surface S than the portions on the first holding portion 11 side and the second holding portion 12 side. The portion of the opening edge 16a on the second holding portion 12 side where the height from the construction surface S is the highest is higher in height from the construction surface S than any portion on the first holding portion 11 side. (Alternative example) The above embodiment can be modified as follows, for example. ○ Provide three or more holding portions (first holding portion 11, second holding portion 12).

[0034] ○ Provide two or four or more rows of holding portion reinforcing ribs 14 and fixing portion reinforcing ribs 17.

[0035] ○ Omit the accommodating portion 15a.

[0036] ○ Provide the holding portion reinforcing ribs 14 and the fixing portion reinforcing ribs 17 on the surface of the long body holder 10 opposite to the construction surface S.

[0037] 〇 Also provide the fixing portion 13 at the tip portions 11b, 12b of the first holding portion 11 and the second holding portion 12.
