Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a fastening body. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, a fastener is attached to a surface to be fixed by driving a fastener from a driving tool into the fastener, the back surface of which is placed against the surface to be fixed. Some fasteners have a positioning portion that positions the fastener ejection port of the driving tool when the fastener is driven with the driving tool (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In Patent Document 1, a fastener, which is an example of a fastener, has a fastener main body through which a nail serving as a fastener passes and which is sandwiched between the head of the nail and the surface to be fixed. The fastener also has a tubular portion that protrudes from the fastener main body and through which the nail passes and is crushed by the head of the nail. The fastener has a rib as a positioning portion. The rib is formed in a cylindrical shape that surrounds the tubular portion and is concentric with the tubular portion. When driving a nail, the rib fits inside the ejection portion of the nail driving tool, thereby positioning the fastener main body in the ejection portion. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0015] An embodiment of the fastening body will be described below with reference to Figs. <Wiring and piping materials> As shown in FIG. 1, a piping material 10 serving as a wiring / piping material has a pipe body 11 whose outer surface is covered with a covering material 12 that is compressible and deformable in the thickness direction. The pipe body 11 is made of resin or metal. The covering material 12 is formed into a cylindrical shape from a low-strength material such as urethane foam insulation. In addition to the piping material 10, examples of wiring / piping materials include cables, refrigerant pipes, exhaust pipes, drainage pipes, etc. Wiring / piping materials may also have an uneven or smooth outer surface.
[0016] <Fixing body> 1 and 2, the fastener 20 has a band plate portion 30 that is wound around the piping material 10, and also has a fastening portion 50 that is provided at a position that becomes part of the band plate portion 30. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the fastener 101 that is ejected from the driving tool 16 is driven into the fastener 20, and the fastener 101 that has passed through the fastener 20 is driven into the fastening surface 100a, whereby the fastener 20 is fastened to the fixed surface 100a of the fixed portion 100. The driving tool 16 has a cylindrical ejection portion 17 that defines an ejection port 17a through which the fastener 101 is ejected.
[0017] <Strip plate part> As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and 5, the band plate portion 30 has an elongated band shape overall. The band plate portion 30 has a first end 30a at one of its longitudinal ends and a second end 30b at the other of its longitudinal ends. The band plate portion 30 also has a back surface 31 and a front surface 32 that are opposite to each other in the thickness direction. The back surface 31 is the surface that faces the fixed surface 100a of the fixed part 100 when the fastener 20 is fastened to the fixed surface 100a. The front surface 32 is the surface into which the fastener 101 injected from the injection part 17 of the driving tool 16 is driven. Therefore, the fastener 101 injected from the driving tool 16 penetrates from the front surface 32 of the band plate portion 30 through the back surface 31 and is driven into the fixed surface 100a.
[0018] In the band plate portion 30, the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and along the back surface 31 and the front surface 32 is defined as the width direction. The dimension of the band plate portion 30 in the width direction is defined as the "width." The band plate portion 30 has a long plate-shaped connecting band portion 40 including the first end 30a, a long plate-shaped introducing band portion 43 located closer to the second end 30b than the connecting band portion 40, a long plate-shaped fastening portion 50 located closer to the second end 30b than the introducing band portion 43, and a long plate-shaped engaging band portion 62 located closer to the second end 30b than the fastening portion 50. Therefore, the fastening portion 50 is located at a part of the band plate portion 30 in the longitudinal direction.
[0019] <Connecting belt part> The first end 30a of the band plate portion 30 is located at the first longitudinal end 40a of the connecting band portion 40, and the introduction band portion 43 is continuous with the second longitudinal end 40b of the connecting band portion 40. A retaining portion 70, which will be described later, is provided at the first end 30a of the band plate portion 30. The connecting band portion 40 is the portion of the band plate portion 30 that extends from the first end 30a to the introduction band portion 43.
[0020] <Introductory belt> The introduction band 43 has a first end 43a at one longitudinal end of the introduction band 43 and a second end 43b at the other longitudinal end. The first end 43a of the introduction band 43 is connected to the second end 40b of the connecting band 40. The second end 43b of the introduction band 43 is connected to the fastening part 50.
[0021] The width of the band plate portion 30 at the introduction band portion 43 is wider than the width of the band plate portion 30 at the connecting band portion 40. The introduction band portion 43 is wider than both ends of the connecting band portion 40 in the width direction. An introduction port 44 is formed near the first end 43a of the introduction band portion 43. The introduction port 44 is an elongated hole extending longitudinally in the width direction of the band plate portion 30. The introduction port 44 opens on the back surface 31 and the front surface 32 of the band plate portion 30. A first opening width W1 of the introduction port 44 in the width direction of the band plate portion 30 is wider than a second opening width W2 of the introduction port 44 in the longitudinal direction of the band plate portion 30.
[0022] The introduction band 43 has a guide portion 45 provided closer to the second end 50b than the introduction port 44 in the longitudinal direction of the band plate 30. The guide portion 45 protrudes from the surface 32 of the introduction band 43. The guide portion 45 has a guide surface 45a. The guide surface 45a is inclined so that the amount of protrusion from the surface 32 gradually increases from the first end 30a to the second end 30b of the band plate 30 and then gradually decreases. The guide portion 45 is provided continuous with the edge closer to the second end 30b of a pair of opening edges of the introduction port 44 extending in the width direction of the band plate 30. The dimension of the guide portion 45 in the width direction of the band plate 30 is the same as the first opening width W1 of the introduction port 44.
[0023] The introduction band 43 has gap-forming portions 46 located on both sides of the introduction port 44 and the guide portions 45 in the width direction of the band plate 30. The gap-forming portions 46 protrude from the surface 32 from one of a pair of opening edges of the introduction port 44 extending in the width direction of the band plate 30, the opening edge closest to the first end 30a, to the guide portions 45. The gap-forming portions 46 gradually increase their protrusion from the surface 32 from the first end 30a toward the second end 30b of the band plate 30, and then, like the guide portions 45, slope so that the protrusion amount gradually decreases. Therefore, the guide portions 45 gradually increase their protrusion amount at a position lower than the pair of gap-forming portions 46.
[0024] <Fastening part> The fastening portion 50 has a first end 50a at one longitudinal end and a second end 50b at the other longitudinal end. The first end 50a of the fastening portion 50 is connected to the second end 43b of the introduction band portion 43. The first and second ends 50a and 50b of the fastening portion 50 are positions where positioning protrusions 58 (described later) are provided. The second end 50b of the fastening portion 50 is connected to the engagement band portion 62. The width of the band plate portion 30 at the fastening portion 50 is the same as the width of the band plate portion 30 at the introduction band portion 43. The fastening portion 50 is wider than the connecting band portion 40.
[0025] 2 and 4, the fastening portion 50 includes a driven portion 51 into which the fastener 101 is driven, and a positioning portion 57 provided on the surface 32 of the fastening portion 50. The driven portion 51 is a rectangular plate with its longitudinal axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the band plate portion 30 in a plan view of the band plate portion 30 in the plate thickness direction. In the plan view of the driven portion 51, the direction in which the longitudinal axis extends is defined as the longitudinal direction of the driven portion 51. The longitudinal direction of the driven portion 51 coincides with the longitudinal direction of the band plate portion 30. The direction in which the short side of the driven portion 51 extends is defined as the width direction of the driven portion 51. The width direction of the driven portion 51 coincides with the width direction of the band plate portion 30.
[0026] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the driven portion 51 is provided at a position away from the introduction port 44 toward the second end 30b in the longitudinal direction, and is provided in the center of the fastening portion 50 in the width direction. The driven portion 51 is connected to both ends of the fastening portion 50 in the width direction via multiple connecting pieces 52. The multiple connecting pieces 52 are provided at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction of the fastening portion 50. In the fastening portion 50, slits 53 open on the back surface 31 and the front surface 32 at positions that sandwich the connecting pieces 52 in the longitudinal direction. In other words, the slits 53 penetrate the fastening portion 50 in the plate thickness direction. The driven portion 51 is sandwiched between both ends of the fastening portion 50 in the width direction by the multiple slits 53.
[0027] The surface 32 of the driven portion 51 is a driveable region M into which the fastener 101 can be driven. The longitudinal direction of the driveable region M coincides with the longitudinal direction of the driven portion 51, and the width direction of the driveable region M coincides with the width direction of the driven portion 51. The driveable region M extends longitudinally in one direction of the driven portion 51, and the fastener 101 can be driven into one of at least three different positions, as described below. In other words, the driveable region M has a range in which the fastener 101 can be driven into the driveable region M at different positions in the longitudinal direction. The driven portion 51 has positioning protrusions 58 located at both ends in the longitudinal direction and in the center in the width direction. The pair of positioning protrusions 58 determine the range of both ends of the driveable region M in the longitudinal direction. That is, the pair of positioning protrusions 58 determine a range in the driveable region M in which the fastener 101 can be driven at different positions in the longitudinal direction of the driveable region M.
[0028] The longitudinal length of the driveable area M is slightly greater than four times the outer diameter R of the injection part 17. Therefore, four injection parts 17 can be simultaneously arranged within the longitudinal range of the driveable area M. Therefore, within the range of the driveable area M, the fastener 101 can be driven into the driveable area M by the driving tool 16 at multiple positions, and the fastener 101 can be driven into the driveable area M from the injection port 17a at any of the multiple positions.
[0029] The portion to be driven 51 has a first mark 611, a second mark 612, and a third mark 613 that are formed by indentations in the driveable region M of the surface 32 by engraving. Therefore, the surface 32 in the driveable region M is flat. The first marks 611 are located near both ends of the longitudinal direction of the driveable region M and in the center. Note that each of the first marks 611 near both ends of the longitudinal direction of the driveable region M is located closer to the center of the driveable region M than the positioning protrusions 58. In other words, the first marks 611 at both ends of the longitudinal direction of the driveable region M are located farther away from the center of the driveable region M than the ends of the range of the driveable region M.
[0030] The first mark 611 includes a circular mark 61a and four linear marks 61b arranged outside the circular mark 61a. The circular mark 61a is arranged in the center in the width direction of the driveable area M. Two of the four linear marks 61b extend linearly in the longitudinal direction of the driveable area M, sandwiching the circular mark 61a therebetween, while the remaining two extend linearly in the width direction of the driveable area M, sandwiching the circular mark 61a therebetween.
[0031] The second mark 612 is disposed adjacent to the first mark 611 in the longitudinal direction of the driveable region M. The second mark 612 is formed only with a circular mark 61a. The third mark 613 is disposed between the second marks 612 in the longitudinal direction of the driveable region M. The third mark 613 includes a circular mark 61a and two linear marks 61b disposed outside the circular mark 61a. The two linear marks 61b of the third mark 613 extend linearly in the width direction of the driveable region M, sandwiching the circular mark 61a therebetween. Within the driveable region M, nine circular marks 61a are disposed at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction of the driveable region M. The circular marks 61a serve as marks when the fastener 101 is driven with the driving tool 16. The nine circular marks 61a are specific positions set in the driveable area M. Therefore, specific positions into which the fastener 101 is driven are set in the driveable area M. The driveable area M in the driven portion 51 includes a range in which the fastener 101 can be driven at different positions in the longitudinal direction in the driveable area M. The surface 32 of the driven portion 51 on which the nine circular marks 61a are formed is flat. The space between adjacent circular marks 61a in the longitudinal direction is also flat. Therefore, when the injection port 17a is positioned in the driveable area M using one of the circular marks 61a as a marker, the surface 32 in the driveable area M is flat at each position where the injection port 17a is located and between adjacent positions. Therefore, the injection port 17a can be moved smoothly while the tip of the injection part 17 is in contact with the surface 32 in the driveable area M.
[0032] Of the nine circular marks 61a forming the row, the circular marks 61a located at both ends of the row are located closer to the center in the longitudinal direction than the positioning protrusions 58. When the fastener 101 is driven into any of the nine circular marks 61a, the fastener 101 is driven into the range of the drive-in area M.
[0033] As shown in Fig. 6, the fastening part 50 has grooves 501 recessed from the back surface 31 of the driven part 51. The grooves 501 extend in the width direction of the fastening part 50. The grooves 501 extend linearly in the width direction so as to connect the slits 53 that face each other in the width direction of the fastening part 50. A plurality of grooves 501 are provided at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction of the driven part 51.
[0034] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 , the fastening portion 50 has a plurality of protruding portions 55 that protrude from the surface 32 on both sides of the driven portion 51 in the width direction. The protruding portions 55 protrude from both widthwise ends of the fastening portion 50. The protruding portions 55 are arranged at positions that sandwich the driveable region M of the driven portion 51 from both widthwise sides. Therefore, the plurality of protruding portions 55 define the widthwise range of the driveable region M. Therefore, the range of the driveable region M is defined by the pair of positioning protrusions 58 and the region surrounded by all of the protruding portions 55.
[0035] The protruding portions 55 protrude outward from the slits 53 in the width direction of the fastening portion 50. The multiple protruding portions 55 are arranged side by side so as to extend in the longitudinal direction of the band plate portion 30, and therefore in the longitudinal direction of the fastening portion 50. Of the multiple protruding portions 55, the protruding portion 55 closest to the introduction band portion 43 is provided at a position away from the introduction port 44 toward the second end 30b of the band plate portion 30.
[0036] The protruding portion 55 has a standing wall 56 that protrudes like a thin plate from the surface 32, and a positioning portion 57 that protrudes like a thin plate from the tip of the standing wall 56 inward in the width direction. The standing wall 56 is elastically deformable in the width direction of the band plate portion 30, starting from its base end. The positioning portion 57 curves so as to slope downward from the protruding end of the standing wall 56 toward the surface 32. The positioning portion 57 is elastically deformable. The positioning portions 57 included in the protruding portion 55 face each other in the longitudinal direction of the band plate portion 30, i.e., in the width direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the fastening portion 50, and are formed on opposing side portions of the protruding portions 55 that protrude from the surface 32.
[0037] The multiple protrusions 55 are arranged at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction of the fastening part 50. Adjacent protrusions 55 in the longitudinal direction of the fastening part 50 are separated by a gap. The multiple protrusions 55 are arranged side by side along the longitudinal direction, and the band plate part 30 is capable of bending and deforming from positions between adjacent protrusions 55 in the longitudinal direction.
[0038] The gaps formed between adjacent protrusions 55 in the longitudinal direction of fastening part 50 are formed at positions where circular marks 61a are extended in the width direction of fastening part 50. Protrusions 55 including positioning portions 57 are arranged at positions where they contact the outer surface of ejection part 17 arranged within the range of drive-in area M. Therefore, a plurality of positioning portions 57 are arranged at positions where they contact the outer surface of ejection part 17 at positions in drive-in area M corresponding to circular marks 61a.
[0039] As shown in FIG. 7 , the positioning portions 57 are disposed on both sides in the width direction of any of the first to third marks 611 to 613. Even when the ejection portion 17 is positioned using any of the circular marks 61a of the first to third marks 611 to 613 as a mark, the positioning portions 57 can be brought into contact with the outer surface of the ejection portion 17. As a result, the positioning portions 57 are configured as side portions that face each other in the width direction of the fastening portion 50 of the band plate portion 30. Furthermore, the positioning portions 57 come into contact with the outer surface of the cylindrical ejection portion 17 that defines the ejection port 17a through which the fastener 101 is ejected in the driving tool 16 for the fastener 101, thereby positioning the ejection port 17a at the center position in the width direction of the driveable region M.
[0040] The protruding portions 55 face each other in the width direction of the band plate portion 30. Therefore, the positioning portions 57 included in the protruding portions 55 face each other in the width direction of the band plate portion 30. The dimension between the positioning portions 57 facing each other in the width direction gradually narrows from the tip end side of the protruding portions 55 toward the base end.
[0041] 7, when the protrusions 55 are not elastically deformed, the dimension between the vertical walls 56 of the fastening part 50 in the width direction is defined as a first separation distance G1. The first separation distance G1 is the shortest distance between the opposing surfaces of the opposing vertical walls 56. The first separation distance G1 is larger than the outer diameter R of the injection part 17 of the driving tool 16.
[0042] Furthermore, when the protrusions 55 are not elastically deformed, the dimension between the positioning portions 57 in the width direction of the fastening part 50 is defined as a second separation distance G2. The second separation distance G2 gradually decreases from the protrusion end of the protrusions 55 toward the surface 32. The minimum value of the second separation distance G2 is measured at a position of the positioning portions 57 closest to the surface 32. The minimum value of the second separation distance G2 is smaller than the outer diameter R of the injection part 17 of the driving tool 16. Therefore, when the injection part 17 is pushed between the positioning portions 57 facing each other in the width direction of the fastening part 50, the positioning portions 57 facing each other in the width direction are pressed outward in the width direction by the injection part 17.
[0043] 9 and 10 , the positioning portions 57 and the standing walls 56 of the protruding portion 55 are elastically deformed outward along the width direction of the fastening portion 50. Then, when the tip of the ejecting portion 17 is in contact with the surface 32, the ejecting portion 17 is pressed from both sides in the width direction by the forces of the elastically deformed positioning portions 57 and the standing walls 56 returning to their original shapes. By being pressed from both sides in the width direction by the positioning portions 57, the ejecting portion 17 is positioned at the center in the width direction of the driven portion 51.
[0044] As shown in FIG. 7 , the dimension of each positioning portion 57 in the longitudinal direction of the fastening portion 50 is sufficiently smaller than the outer diameter R of the ejection portion 17. The outer diameter R of the ejection portion 17 is slightly smaller than the dimension between both longitudinal ends of the three protrusions 55 aligned in the longitudinal direction of the fastening portion 50. Therefore, when the outer diameter portion of the ejection portion 17 is pressed against the central protrusion 55 of the three aligned protrusions 55, the ejection portion 17 comes into contact with the positioning portions 57 of each of the three aligned protrusions 55. At this time, the central protrusion 55 of the three aligned protrusions 55 elastically deforms outward in the width direction the greatest. Furthermore, the two end protrusions 55 of the three aligned protrusions 55 also elastically deform slightly outward in the width direction. As a result, the ejection portion 17 is sandwiched between the positioning portions 57 on both widthwise sides of the fastening portion 50 and is positioned in a state in which movement of the fastening portion 50 in the longitudinal direction is suppressed.
[0045] Furthermore, the outer diameter R of the ejection portion 17 is slightly larger than the dimension between both longitudinal ends of the fastening portion 50 at the portion where the two protrusions 55 aligned in the longitudinal direction are gathered together. Therefore, when the outer diameter portion of the ejection portion 17 is pushed between the two aligned protrusions 55, the ejection portion 17 comes into contact with the positioning portions 57 of each of the two aligned protrusions 55. At this time, each of the two aligned protrusions 55 elastically deforms outward in the width direction in the same manner. As a result, the ejection portion 17 is sandwiched between the positioning portions 57 on both widthwise sides of the fastening portion 50, and is positioned in a state where movement of the fastening portion 50 in the longitudinal direction is suppressed.
[0046] As will be described later, when the piping material 10 is surrounded from the outer periphery by the strip portion 30, the positioning portion 57 of the protruding portion 55 comes into contact with the outer periphery of the piping material 10. Then, a gap is defined between the outer periphery of the piping material 10 and the surface 32 of the driven portion 51.
[0047] <Engagement band> 5 and 6, the engaging band 62 has a first end 62a at one longitudinal end and a second end 62b at the other longitudinal end. The first end 62a of the engaging band 62 is connected to the second end 50b of the fastening part 50. The second end 62b of the engaging band 62 is the same as the second end 30b of the band plate part 30. The engaging band 62 can be easily flexibly deformed by an operator.
[0048] The width of the band plate portion 30 at the engaging band portion 62 is narrower than the width of the band plate portion 30 at the introduction band portion 43 and the fastening portion 50, and is the same as the width of the band plate portion 30 at the connecting band portion 40. Therefore, the width of the band plate portion 30 is formed wider at the introduction band portion 43 than at the engaging band portion 62.
[0049] The engaging band 62 extends in a band shape with the fastening portion 50 side as its base end. A large number of band engaging portions 63 are formed on the back surface 31 of the engaging band 62 in the longitudinal direction of the engaging band 62. In other words, the engaging band 62 has a plurality of band engaging portions 63 in the longitudinal direction of the engaging band 62.
[0050] 8, the band engaging portion 63 has a shape in which the plate thickness decreases from the first end 62a to the second end 62b of the engaging band portion 62. The band engaging portion 63 is formed with an inclined surface 63a that slopes toward the surface 32 from the first end 62a to the second end 62b. The band engaging portion 63 also has an engaging surface 63b that extends perpendicularly from the tip of the inclined surface 63a toward the surface 32.
[0051] <Maintenance Department> As shown in Fig. 3, the retaining portion 70 is integrated with the first end 30a of the band plate portion 30. The retaining portion 70 has a retaining portion main body 71 that defines an internal space S, and a locking portion 73 that is provided on the retaining portion main body 71. The retaining portion main body 71 has a rectangular tubular shape that opens along the longitudinal direction of the band plate portion 30. The retaining portion main body 71 has a first end face 711 from which the band plate portion 30 extends, and a second end face 712 on the opposite side of the first end face 711 with the retaining portion main body 71 in between.
[0052] 4 and 8, an internal space S is defined inside the retaining portion main body 71. The retaining portion main body 71 has, among the inner surfaces defining the internal space S, a pair of first defining surfaces 71a facing in the thickness direction of the band plate portion 30, and a pair of second defining surfaces 71b facing in the width direction of the band plate portion 30.
[0053] The locking portion 73 is integrally molded with one of the pair of first demarcation surfaces 71a. The locking portion 73 has a thin, long plate shape overall. The locking portion 73 has a tilting base 74 that is integral with one of the first demarcation surfaces 71a, an operating piece 75 that extends in a strip shape from the tilting base 74 so as to pass through the internal space S, and a retaining portion engaging portion 76 that protrudes from one longitudinal surface of the operating piece 75.
[0054] The tilting base 74 protrudes from one first demarcation surface 71a toward the other first demarcation surface 71a. The tilting base 74 is provided closer to the second end surface 712. The operating piece 75 extends longitudinally from the tilting base 74 in the longitudinal direction of the band plate portion 30. The longitudinal side of the operating piece 75 opposite the tilting base 74 side protrudes from the first end surface 711 to the outside of the maintaining unit main body 71. The locking portion 73 can be operated by operating the portion of the operating piece 75 that protrudes from the maintaining unit main body 71.
[0055] The operating piece 75, excluding the tilting base 74, is spaced downward from one of the first demarcating surfaces 71a. The operating piece 75 has a first thick surface 75a and a second thick surface 75b that are opposite each other. Inside the maintenance unit main body 71, the first thick surface 75a of the operating piece 75 faces one of the first demarcating surfaces 71a, and the second thick surface 75b faces the other of the first demarcating surfaces 71a. A gap exists between the first thick surface 75a and one of the first demarcating surfaces 71a. By utilizing this gap, the operating piece 75 can be operated to move the first thick surface 75a closer to one of the first demarcating surfaces 71a. This operation causes the operating piece 75 to tilt around the tilting base 74 as a base point.
[0056] The retaining portion engaging portion 76 protrudes from the second plate thickness surface 75b of the operating piece 75 toward the other first demarcating surface 71a. The retaining portion engaging portion 76 extends over the entire operating piece 75 in the short side direction.
[0057] The retaining unit engaging portion 76 has an engaging surface 76a that is perpendicular to the second thick surface 75b, and an inclined surface 76b that connects the engaging surface 76a and the second thick surface 75b. The inclined surface 76b is inclined so as to approach the second thick surface 75b from the first end surface 711 toward the second end surface 712 of the retaining unit main body 71.
[0058] When the operating piece 75 is not operated, the opening width between the retaining portion engaging portion 76 and the other first demarcating surface 71 a is the minimum opening width. When the operating piece 75 is operated and the first plate thickness surface 75 a is brought close to one first demarcating surface 71 a, the opening width between the retaining portion engaging portion 76 and the other first demarcating surface 71 a is the maximum opening width.
[0059] <Method of fastening piping materials using fasteners> Next, a method for installing the piping material 10 on the fixed portion 100 using the fastening body 20 will be described. 9, the worker places the back surface 31 of the fastening part 50 against the fixed surface 100a of the fixed part 100. Next, the worker aligns the ejection port 17a of the driving tool 16 using any one of the circular marks 61a of the first mark 611 to the third mark 613 of the driven part 51 as a mark.
[0060] The worker pushes the ejector 17 toward the part to be driven 51 within the range of the driveable area M with the ejection port 17a of the ejector 17 facing the driveable area M. Then, as shown in FIG. 10 , the multiple protrusions 55 are pressed outward in the width direction by the ejector 17. In the protrusions 55 pressed by the ejector 17, the standing walls 56 elastically deform outward in the width direction of the band plate part 30, and the positioning parts 57 elastically deform so as to approach the standing walls 56. The protrusions 55 press the outer surfaces of the ejector 17 from both sides in the width direction due to the return forces of the standing walls 56 and the positioning parts 57 to their original shapes. As a result, the ejector 17 is positioned within the range of the driveable area M by the positioning parts 57.
[0061] The worker brings the tip of the ejecting part 17 into contact with the surface 32 of the driven part 51, and then drives the fastener 101 from the driving tool 16 toward the driven part 51. The fastener 101 then penetrates the driven part 51 from the surface 32 toward the back surface 31, and is driven into the fixed surface 100a of the fixed part 100. As a result, the fastening body 20 is fastened to the fixed surface 100a of the fixed part 100.
[0062] Next, as shown in Figure 2, the worker places the piping material 10 to the side of the surface 32 of the band plate portion 30, and grasps the engaging band portion 62 and moves it toward the retaining portion 70. This causes the band plate portion 30 to deform into an arc shape with the surface 32 facing inward.
[0063] At this time, the deformation of the driven portion 51 is assisted by the plurality of grooves 501. In other words, the fastening portion 50 fastened to the fixing surface 100a by the fastener 101 utilizes the grooves 501 to easily deform.
[0064] The operator inserts the tip of the engaging strap 62, i.e., the second end 30b of the strap plate portion 30, into the internal space S from the second end surface 712 of the retaining body 71. Then, the inclined surface 63a of the strap engaging portion 63 pushes up the inclined surface 76b of the retaining engagement portion 76. This allows the engaging strap 62 to be fed into the internal space S. When the feeding of the engaging strap 62 into the internal space S is stopped, the engaging surface 76a of the retaining engagement portion 76 and the engaging surface 63b of the strap engaging portion 63 face each other. Therefore, even if the engaging strap 62 moves in the direction opposite to the feeding direction into the internal space S, the engaging surface 76a of the retaining engagement portion 76 and the engaging surface 63b of the strap engaging portion 63 engage with each other. This engagement restricts the movement of the engaging strap 62 in the direction opposite to the feeding direction of the engaging strap 62 into the internal space S. That is, the engaging strip portion 62 of the strip portion 30 and the retaining portion engaging portion 76 of the retaining portion 70 are engaged with each other.
[0065] When the band plate portion 30 and the retaining portion 70 are engaged with each other, the connecting band portion 40, the introduction band portion 43, the fastening portion 50, and the engaging band portion 62 form a surrounding portion 81 that surrounds the piping material 10 from the outer periphery of the covering material 12. At the same time, an enclosed space 80 is defined inside the surrounding portion 81. At this time, the band plate portion 30 is wound around the piping material 10 with the surface 32 serving as the inner surface of the surrounding portion 81. The piping material 10 is supported from below by the band plate portion 30 that forms the surrounding portion 81.
[0066] When the surrounding portion 81 is formed, the gap forming portions 46 are located on both sides of the introduction port 44 in the width direction of the strip portion 30, and protrude toward the inside of the surrounding portion 81. When the surrounding portion 81 is formed, the gap forming portions 46 and each of the multiple protrusions 55 come into contact with a circumferential portion of the outer peripheral surface of the coating material 12. Then, the gap forming portions 46 secure a gap between the surface 32 located around the introduction port 44 and the outer peripheral surface of the coating material 12, and the multiple protrusions 55 form a gap between the outer peripheral surface of the coating material 12 and the surface 32 of the driven portion 51.
[0067] Furthermore, when the band plate portion 30 is engaged with the retaining portion 70, an excess portion 66 is formed at the second end 30b side of the band plate portion 30, at a portion extending beyond the retaining portion 70. The excess portion 66 is disposed on the outer periphery of the surrounding portion 81 so as to cover the back surface 31 of the band plate portion 30. Then, as shown in FIG. 2 , the worker inserts the excess portion 66 into the introduction port 44 from the second end 30b side. That is, the excess portion 66 is inserted from the back surface 31 of the surrounding portion 81 toward the front surface 32. Then, the back surface 31 of the excess portion 66 comes into contact with the guide surface 45a of the guide portion 45. The guide surface 45a of the guide portion 45 guides the excess portion 66 introduced inside the surrounding portion 81 in a direction away from the front surface 32, i.e., toward the piping material 10. Furthermore, the excess length portion 66 introduced into the inside of the surrounding portion 81 through the introduction port 44 is inserted into the gap formed by the gap forming portion 46 and the plurality of protrusions 55 .
[0068] 11, with the tip end of the excess length portion 66 introduced into the enclosing portion 81 from the introduction port 44, the worker presses the first end 30a side of the engaging band 62 relative to the retaining portion 70 in the direction passing through the internal space S. This allows the engaging band 62 to be sent in the direction passing through the internal space S, and also makes it possible to further narrow the enclosed space 80 of the enclosing portion 81.
[0069] Furthermore, the further the engaging band 62 is pressed away from the retaining portion 70, the longer the excess length portion 66 becomes. When the worker presses the engaging band 62, the inclined surface 63a of the band engaging portion 63 pushes up the inclined surface 76b of the retaining portion engaging portion 76. This causes the engaging band 62 to be sent further into the internal space S.
[0070] As the enclosed space 80 narrows, the surface 32 of the enclosed portion 81 other than the protruding portion 55 approaches the outer peripheral surface of the covering material 12. As a result, the curvature of the enclosed portion 81 decreases. At this time, the worker gradually decreases the curvature of the enclosed portion 81 so as not to damage the covering material 12 by the enclosed portion 81.
[0071] Furthermore, as the enclosed space 80 narrows, the excess length portion 66 moves from the introduction port 44 toward the fastening portion 50. The excess length portion 66 is fed along the outer peripheral surface of the covering material 12 and inserted into the gap formed by the multiple protrusions 55. When the excess length portion 66 is inserted between the positioning portions 57 facing each other in the width direction, the excess length portion 66 presses the positioning portions 57 facing each other in the width direction of the fastening portion 50 outward in the width direction. As a result, the excess length portion 66 passes through the gap while elastically deforming the protrusions 55 outward in the width direction. Furthermore, in the gap, the surface 32 of the excess length portion 66 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the covering material 12 and moves along the outer peripheral surface of the covering material 12. Therefore, even when the enclosed space 80 of the surrounding portion 81 is narrowed, the multiple protrusions 55 ensure a gap that allows the excess length portion 66 to be inserted.
[0072] When the worker feeds the excess portion 66 inside the surrounding portion 81, a portion of the excess portion 66 is inserted inside the surrounding portion 81 and between the outer surface of the covering material 12 and the surface 32, and the piping material 10 is held by the fastening body 20.
[0073] At this time, the feeding of the engaging band 62 into the internal space S is stopped. Then, the engaging surface 76a of the retaining portion engaging portion 76 engages with the engaging surface 63b of the band engaging portion 63. In other words, the retaining portion 70 engages with a midpoint in the longitudinal direction of the engaging band 62. This engagement restricts movement of the engaging band 62 in the direction opposite to the feeding direction of the engaging band 62 into the internal space S.
[0074] As a result, the state in which the surrounding portion 81 surrounds the piping material 10 is maintained. Then, with the piping material 10 surrounded by the surrounding portion 81, the piping material 10 is held by the fastening body 20.
[0075] <Operation of the embodiment> The operation of the embodiment will be described. As shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 9 , when attempting to position injection port 17a of injection unit 17 toward driveable area M to drive fastener 101 using one of second marks 612 as a guide, obstacle 102 may protrude from fixed surface 100a. In this case, obstacle 102 may interfere with driving tool 16, making it difficult to operate driving tool 16 and driving fastener 101 into driveable area M. The operator shifts the position of injection unit 17 within driveable area M in the longitudinal direction of fastener part 50 so that driving tool 16 does not interfere with obstacle 102. At this time, driveable area M is provided wide enough to extend longitudinally in the longitudinal direction of fastener part 50, making it possible to change the driving position by moving injection unit 17. For example, the worker shifts the position of the driving tool 16 so that the second mark 612 located at the center of the driving area M in the longitudinal direction serves as a mark.
[0076] When fastener 101 is driven into circular mark 61a of second mark 612 located in the longitudinal center of driveable area M, pushing driving tool 16 toward second mark 612 located in the longitudinal center of driveable area M causes two positioning portions 57 to be pressed against the outer surface of injection part 17 from both sides in the width direction. This positions injection part 17 with injection port 17a facing second mark 612 located in the longitudinal center.
[0077] It is also possible to drive the fastener 101 into any position in the longitudinal direction of the driveable region M without using the first through third marks 611 through 613 as marks. Even in this case, the driveable region M is broad enough to extend longitudinally along the length of the fastening portion 50, allowing the driving position to be changed by moving the ejector 17. Therefore, the fastener 101 can be driven into any of the multiple positions selected within the driveable region M through the ejector 17a. The surface 32 of the driven portion 51 extends flatly in the longitudinal and width directions. The operator can also drive the fastener 101 into a position near the bottom of the driveable region M. Even in this case, the positioning portions 57 are pressed against the outer surface of the ejector 17 from both sides in the width direction. This positions the ejector 17 so that the ejector 17a faces the driveable region M.
[0078] <Effects of the embodiment> According to the above embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. (1) The positioning portion 57 can position the ejection portion 17 by contacting the outer surface of the ejection portion 17. The range of the driveable area M is wide enough to drive the fastener 101 into any of the multiple positions determined by the positioning portion 57. Therefore, when fastening the fastener body 20 to the fixed surface 100a using the driving tool 16, even if the position of the driving tool 16 is changed due to interference with the periphery of the fastener body 20, the fastener 101 can be driven into the driven portion 51 while positioning the ejection portion 17.
[0079] (2) The positioning portions 57 are disposed on both sides in the width direction of any of the first mark 611 to the third mark 613. Even when the ejection portion 17 is positioned using any of the circular mark 61a of the first mark 611 to the third mark 613 as a mark, the positioning portions 57 can be brought into contact with the outer surface of the ejection portion 17. Therefore, even when the fastener 101 is driven into any of the first mark 611 to the third mark 613, the positioning portions 57 can position the ejection portion 17 at a position corresponding to the first mark 611 to the third mark 613.
[0080] (3) Grooves 501 are formed on the back surface 31 of the driven portion 51. Therefore, even in the case of the fastening portion 50 into which the fasteners 101 are driven at multiple positions, it is easy to align the back surface 31 with the fixed surface 100a in a bent state. In addition, because the driven portion 51 is easily bendable, it is possible to set a driveable region M in the driven portion 51, even in the case of the driven portion 51 into which the fasteners 101 are driven.
[0081] (4) The range of the driveable region M is provided widely so as to extend longitudinally in the longitudinal direction of the fastening part 50, and a plurality of positioning parts 57 are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the fastening part 50 within the range of the driveable region M. Therefore, in order to drive the fastener 101 into any position in the driveable region M other than the first mark 611 to the third mark 613, even when the ejection part 17 is pressed into the fastening part 50, the positioning part 57 can be pressed against the outer surface of the ejection part 17. In other words, even when the fastener 101 is driven into any position in the driveable region M other than the first mark 611 to the third mark 613, the positioning part 57 can position the ejection part 17 within the range of the driveable region M.
[0082] (5) The positioning portions 57 are provided at positions sandwiching the driveable region M in the width direction of the fastening portion 50. When the positioning portions 57 come into contact with the outer surface of the injection portion 17, the positioning portions 57 can position the injection port 17a at the center in the width direction of the driveable region M. As a result, when the fastener 101 is driven by the driving tool 16 with the injection portion 17 positioned by the positioning portions 57, the fastener 101 can be driven into the circular mark 61a or its vicinity.
[0083] (6) The fastening part 50 is provided with positioning protrusions 58 located at both ends of the longitudinal range of the driveable area M. By bringing the outer surface of the injection part 17 into contact with these positioning protrusions 58, it is possible to prevent the injection part 17 from moving out of the longitudinal range of the driveable area M. This makes it easy to position the injection opening 17a of the injection part 17 facing within the range of the driveable area M.
[0084] (7) The protruding portions 55 are arranged in a row along the longitudinal direction of the fastening portion 50. The fastening portion 50 can be easily bent from a position between adjacent protruding portions 55 in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, even in the fastening body 20 having the fastening portion 50 on a part of the band plate portion 30, the band plate portion 30 can be bent and deformed to be wound around the piping material 10.
[0085] (8) The band plate portion 30 of the fastening body 20 has an introduction port 44 formed therein for introducing the excess length portion 66 from the outer periphery side to the inner periphery side of the surrounding portion 81. When the excess length portion 66 is inserted into the introduction port 44, the excess length portion 66 is introduced from the outer periphery side to the inner periphery side of the surrounding portion 81. As a result, the tip portion of the excess length portion 66, including at least the second end 30b, is positioned inside the surrounding portion 81. Therefore, even without cutting the excess length portion 66, the tip portion of the excess length portion 66 does not bend outward on the outer periphery side of the surrounding portion 81, and the excess length portion 66 does not lift up on the outer periphery side of the surrounding portion 81. As a result, it is possible to prevent the excess length portion 66 from deteriorating the aesthetic appearance without cutting the excess length portion 66.
[0086] (9) A gap forming portion 46 is formed in the band plate portion 30 of the fastening body 20. The gap forming portion 46 forms a gap between the outer surface of the surrounded piping material 10 and the surface 32 surrounding the inlet 44. The excess length portion 66 introduced into the inside of the surrounding portion 81 through the inlet 44 is inserted into this gap. As a result, a gap is formed by the gap forming portion 46, and therefore, the inlet 44 can be prevented from being blocked by the piping material 10. Therefore, even when the surrounding portion 81 surrounds the piping material 10, the excess length portion 66 can be inserted into the inlet 44.
[0087] Then, when the excess length portion 66 inserted into the inlet 44 is sent further inside the surrounding portion 81, the gap forming portion 46 can move it so as to eliminate the void formed by deforming the surrounding portion 81 and the space between the piping material 10 and the band plate portion 30.
[0088] (10) The multiple protrusions 55 are arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the fastening portion 50. Therefore, the multiple protrusions 55 ensure a gap into which the excess portion 66 can be inserted along the direction surrounding the piping material 10. Therefore, the multiple protrusions 55 allow the excess portion 66 to continue to be fed in the circumferential direction of the covering material 12. Furthermore, the multiple protrusions 55 provided for positioning the injection portion 17 can be used to ensure a gap into which the excess portion 66 can be inserted.
[0089] (11) When the injection port 17a is positioned in the injection area M using one of the circular marks 61a as a mark, the surface 32 in the injection area M is flat at each position where the injection port 17a is located and between adjacent positions. Therefore, the movement of the injection port 17a is smooth even while the tip of the injection part 17 is in contact with the surface 32 in the injection area M, and the position of the injection port 17a can be precisely adjusted within the range of the injection area M.
[0090] This embodiment can be modified as follows: This embodiment and the following modifications can be combined and implemented within the scope of technical compatibility. 12 , the distance between adjacent protrusions 55 in the longitudinal direction of the fastening portion 50 may be wider than in the embodiment. Specifically, the distance between adjacent protrusions 55 may be set so that the ejection portion 17 can be sandwiched from both longitudinal sides of the fastening portion 50 by the positioning portions 57 of the protrusions 55 adjacent in the longitudinal direction of the fastening portion 50. In short, as long as the ejection openings 17a of the ejection portion 17 can be positioned within the range of the drive-in area M, the distance between adjacent positioning portions 57 may be changed as appropriate. In this example, the positions of the ejection openings 17a, which are arranged at positions where the fasteners 101 can be driven, are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the fastening portion 50.
[0091] 13, the positioning of the ejection port 17a by the positioning portion 57 can be performed without the positioning portion 57 contacting the outer surface of the ejection portion 17. In this case, the positioning portion 57 of the protruding portion 55 is provided on the surface 32 side of the fastening portion 50 and is positioned in the driving tool 16 for the fastener 101 so as to be able to contact the outer surface of the cylindrical ejection portion 17 that defines the ejection port 17a through which the fastener 101 is ejected.
[0092] In this case, in the fastening part 50 in which the positioning parts 57 are arranged facing each other on both sides in the width direction of the fastening part 50, if the injection port 17a is arranged in the area sandwiched between the facing positioning parts 57, the injection port 17a can be positioned to face the drive-in area M. In other words, the injection port 17a will not face any location other than the drive-in area M. Even with this configuration, the fastener 101 can be driven in at least two positions within the drive-in area M. Furthermore, if the dimension in the width direction of the fastening part 50 is made twice as large as in the embodiment or more, the injection port 17a can face the drive-in area M at two different positions in the width direction of the band plate part 30 between the positioning parts 57 facing each other in the width direction.
[0093] 12, of the four protrusions 55 provided in the longitudinal direction of the fastening part 50, the protrusion 55 provided at one longitudinal end and two protrusions 55 adjacent to the protrusion 55 are moved outward in the width direction. In other words, among the multiple protrusions 55 provided on the fastening part 50, the protrusion 55 provided at one longitudinal end and the protrusion 55 provided at the other longitudinal end may be spaced apart in the width direction of the fastening part 50 by different distances. In this configuration, the outer surface of the injection part 17 comes into contact with the positioning parts 57 of the two protrusions 55 provided at the other longitudinal end of the fastening part 50. On the other hand, at the one longitudinal end of the fastening part 50, the positioning parts 57 do not come into contact with the outer surface of the injection part 17. However, even in this case, the injection outlet 17a of the injection portion 17 is positioned at a position sandwiched between the protrusions 55 on both sides of the width of the fastening portion 50, and is therefore positioned so as to face within the range of the injection-enabled area M.
[0094] The fastening part 50 having the driven part 51 and the positioning part 57 is not limited to the form adopted in the fastener 20 provided on the band plate part 30 that can be wound around the piping material 10. The fastening part 50 having the driven part 51 and the positioning part 57 may be provided on any component that is fastened to the fixed surface 100a of the fixed part 100 by driving the fastener 101 with the driving tool 16, such as a hanging member that suspends and supports wiring / piping material, or a clip member that holds a sheath tube.
[0095] In the fastening body 20, the fastening portion 50 may be provided adjacent to the first end 30a of the band plate portion 30 or adjacent to the second end 30b of the band plate portion 30. In other words, the fastening portion 50 may be provided at any position in the longitudinal direction of the band plate portion 30.
[0096] The fastening portion 50 does not have to have the connecting pieces 52 and the slits 53. In this case, the protrusions 55 protrude from both ends of the front surface 32 of the fastening portion 50 in the width direction. The first mark 611 to the third mark 613 do not have to be in the hit-enabled area M. Also, the specific position may be provided with only the circular mark 61a.
