Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a support plate member for a long material support that is attached to a long material support that supports long materials such as pipes, thereby increasing the support area for the pipes or the like. [Background technology]

[0002] When a long material is supported by a long material support having a curved, strip-shaped band portion, a plate member may be interposed between the band portion and the long material to increase the support area. Such a plate member is fixed, for example, by engaging a T-shaped protrusion formed on the band portion side of the long material support with a groove formed in the band portion (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-133430 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When the T-shaped protrusion formed on the plate member is engaged with and fixed into the groove of the band portion as described above, if the engagement is released due to the long material shifting, the long material will come off the long material support.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and has as its object to make it possible to easily and reliably fix a long material to a support tool. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, The present invention provides A support plate member for a long material support that has a curved band portion and is attached to a long material support that supports a long material, a support plate portion provided between the band portion and the elongated material; a locking portion provided upright on the support plate portion and locked into a locking hole formed in the band portion of the elongated material support; Equipped with the locking portion has a pair of locking bodies, each of the pair of locking bodies having a base and an outer protruding portion that protrudes in a direction opposite to the direction in which the locking bodies face each other and is locked to inner edge portions that face each other in the locking hole of the band portion; an insertable state in which a dimension between outer portions of the outer protrusions of the pair of locking bodies is shorter than a distance between inner edges of the locking holes, which is a distance between the opposing inner edges of the locking holes; and a locking state in which the dimension between the outer edges of the locking bodies is longer than the distance between the inner edges of the locking holes, In the locked state, the locking members are characterized by being configured to have an approach prevention portion that prevents the outer portions of the pair of locking bodies from approaching each other.

[0007] As a result, the access prevention portion keeps the distance between the outer portions of the outer protrusions longer than the distance between the inner edges of the engagement holes, making it easy to securely attach the support plate portion to the long material support. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] In the present invention, it is possible to easily and reliably fix the elongated material to the elongated material support tool. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following embodiments and modifications, components having the same functions as those in other embodiments will be denoted by the same or corresponding reference numerals as appropriate, and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0011] (Embodiment 1) For example, as shown in Fig. 1, when a long material 210 such as a pipe is supported by a long material support 220, a support plate member 100 for the long material support is provided between a curved band portion 221 and the long material 210 in order to increase the support area. As shown in Fig. 2, the support plate member 100 has a support plate portion 110 and a locking portion 120 erected on the support plate portion 110, and the locking portion 120 is locked into a locking hole 221a in the band portion 221, so that the support plate member 100 will not come off or become displaced even if the long material 210 shifts or swings.

[0012] As shown in more detail in Figures 3 and 4, the locking portion 120 of the support plate member 100 includes a pair of locking bodies 130 each having a base 131 and an outwardly extending portion 132. The opposing portions of the bases 131 of the pair of locking bodies 130 function as inner abutment portions 133 (access prevention portions), and the abutment between these portions restricts the displacement of the locking bodies 130. The opposing portions near the distal ends of the pair of locking bodies 130 are formed with inner abutment portions 134 having inclined abutment surfaces 135 and engaging protrusions 136. The pair of locking bodies 130 are also formed with outer abutment portions 132 that extend in the opposite direction from the opposing directions and are engaged with the opposing inner edge portions 221b of the locking holes 221a of the band portion 221. Although not particularly limited, the outer protruding portion 132 and the inner protruding portion 134 can be positioned on the upright side of the locking body 130 with respect to the through-hole 110a of the support plate portion 110, thereby making it possible to eliminate the need for a core during molding. Note that the locking hole 221a is not limited to a rectangular shape and may be a circular hole, for example.

[0013] In the support plate member 100 configured as described above, a force is applied to the pair of locking bodies 130 in the direction indicated by arrow A in FIGS. 3 and 4 so that the distance between the outer portions 132a on the outer side of the outwardly extending portion 132 (the dimension between the outer portions of the locking bodies) is shorter than the distance between the inner edges 221b of the locking holes 221a of the band portion 221 (the distance between the inner edges L). This makes it possible to easily insert the locking bodies 120 into the locking holes 221a of the band portion 221 (insertable state, unlocked state). Note that, even without applying the force indicated by arrow A, the vicinity of the tip of the locking body 130 may be tapered so that the locking bodies 120 are pushed into the locking holes 221a of the band portion 221 and a similar deflection occurs. Alternatively, the distance between the outer portions 132a may be set in advance to be shorter than the distance between the inner edges L.

[0014] 3 and 4, or a similar twisting force is applied to the pair of locking bodies 130, the sliding of the inclined abutment surfaces 135 of the locking bodies 130 causes the outward overhanging portions 132 to bend in directions away from each other. If the force acts beyond the position where the tips of the inward overhanging portions 134 touch each other, the inward overhanging portions 134 engage with each other, as shown in Figures 5 and 6. Furthermore, the engagement protrusions 136 engage with each other, making it difficult for the inward overhanging portions 134 to disengage from each other. In this case, the distance between the outer portions 132a does not become shorter than the point where the inner abutment portions 133 abut each other, so the distance between the outer portions 132a of the outward overhanging portions 132 is kept longer than the distance L between the inner edges of the locking holes 221a, and this distance is prevented from becoming shorter than the distance between the inner edges 221b (the distance L between the inner edges) (locked state). Therefore, the support plate portion 110 can be easily and reliably attached to the long material support 220.

[0015] Furthermore, as described above, when the outer protrusions 132 bend in directions away from each other, the tips of the outer protrusions 132 are tilted in a direction approaching the band portion 221 from the position before bending, and are pressed against the band portion 221, so that the support plate member 100 can be easily and securely attached to the band portion 221 without any rattle.

[0016] (Embodiment 2) The locked state does not necessarily have to be achieved when the locking bodies 130 are tilted (twisted) relative to each other as described above, but may instead be achieved, for example, by being inserted when tilted as shown in Fig. 7 and being locked when upright as shown in Fig. 8. In this example, the inner abutment 133 that keeps the locking portion 120 in the locked state is provided on the end face of the inward protruding portion 134 instead of being provided on the base 131, and the locking state is achieved by the abutment of the inner abutment 133.

[0017] 7, the pair of locking bodies 130 can be tilted in the direction indicated by arrow C, thereby allowing the inward protruding portions 134 to tilt past each other in the direction indicated by arrow D. Therefore, the distance between the outer portions 132a on the outer side of the outward protruding portions 132 can be made shorter than the distance between the inner edge portions 221b of the locking holes 221a (distance L between the inner edges), making it easier to insert the locking portion 120 into the locking holes 221a of the band portion 221. Note that, although not essential, chamfered portions 134a may be formed at the corners of the inner abutting portion 133 to make it easier to tilt the locking bodies 130 in the direction of arrow D.

[0018] 8, the inner abutment portions 133 of the inner protrusions 134 abut against each other, preventing the distance between the outer portions 132a of the outer protrusions 132 from becoming shorter than the distance L between the inner edges of the locking holes 221a, and facilitating reliable attachment of the support plate portion 110 to the long material support 220. Although not essential, by providing a notch 134b in the corner of the inner protrusion 134 opposite the chamfered portion 134a, it is possible to make it difficult for the inner abutment portions 133 to be released from abutment.

[0019] (Other embodiments) In order for the locking portion 120 to be switchable between an insertable state and a locked state, it is not particularly limited as to whether one or both of the locking bodies 130 are in an upright state or an inclined state in each state, or which is the initial state (state in which the member is not bent), as long as the inner abutment portion 133 is switchable between an abutment state and a released abutment state.

[0020] Specifically, for example, as shown in Fig. 9, if inner abutment portions 133 of locking bodies constituting the access prevention portion are relatively shifted in a second direction (direction shown by arrow F in Fig. 9) intersecting with a first direction (direction shown by arrow E in Fig. 9) connecting opposing inner edge portions 221b of locking holes 221a of band portion 221, outer portions 132a of locking bodies 130 will be positioned close to each other in directions approaching each other, and an insertable state will be attained. Also, as shown in Fig. 10, locking bodies 130 can be tilted toward each other and inner abutment portions 133 will abut each other, thereby attaining the locked state.

[0021] Here, if the initial state of locking body 130 is an upright state as shown in FIG. 9 and locking body 130 bends and becomes tilted as shown in FIG. 10, for example, as also shown in these figures, convex portions 133a and concave portions 133b may be formed on locking body 130 so that the engagement between these portions makes it easier to maintain the locked state stably.

[0022] Furthermore, instead of forming the protrusions 133a and recesses 133b on the locking body 130, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, an inward protrusion 134 may be provided on the locking body 130 as in embodiment 1, and these may be engaged with the inward protrusion 134 of the other locking body 130, making it easier to maintain a stable locked state.

[0023] The amount of misalignment in the first direction when the locking body 130 is in its initial state may be set in various ways, as shown in FIG. 13 . That is, when viewed from the second direction (the direction indicated by arrow G), the locking body 130 may be partially overlapped ( FIG. 13( a)), completely overlapped ( FIG. 13( b)), or not overlapped at all ( FIG. 13( c)). The amount of misalignment in the second direction may also be set in various ways. When the locking body 130 is not completely misaligned in the second direction as shown in FIG. 13( d), chamfers 133 c may be formed at adjacent corners to facilitate the locking body 130 collapsing toward each other when shortening the distance between the outer portions 132 a.

[0024] Also, as shown in Figures 14 and 15, for example, an inner abutment portion 133 may be provided on an inner protruding portion 134 that protrudes on the opposite side of the outer portion 132a of the locking body 130, and the locking state may be achieved by the abutment of the inner abutment portions 133 with each other.

[0025] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 16 and 17, for example, an intervening abutment member 141 (approach prevention portion) is provided that can be interposed between the inner abutment portions 133 (approach prevention portion) of a pair of locking bodies 130, and when the intervening abutment member 141 is not interposed between the inner abutment portions 133, the locking bodies 130 come close to each other, thereby becoming insertable, while when the intervening abutment member 141 is interposed between the inner abutment portions 133, the inner abutment portions 133 come into contact via the intervening abutment member 141, thereby becoming locked.
