[0013] The kick stop set 1 will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in Fig. 1, the kick stop set 1 includes two kick stops 10. The two kick stops 10 are formed to have the same shape.

[0014] The kick stop 10 has a side plate 11 and a bottom plate 12. The side plate 11 functions as an enclosure, protecting enclosed objects such as power lines and pipes housing power lines from contact with people's feet and nearby equipment. It also prevents people's feet from getting stuck in holes drilled in the floor material to allow power lines to pass through. There is no limit to the height of the side plate 11, and it may be set to a height that fulfills the above function, for example, 5 to 15 cm. The side plate 11 has a bent portion. In this example, the side plate 11 is bent at a right angle into an L shape, so the side plate 11 has a long side and a short side, and the bottom plate 12 extends from the bottom of the short side.

[0015] Bottom plate 12 has insertion holes 13 formed therein through which fasteners can be inserted. Bottom plate 12 is placed directly or indirectly on a floor material such as a steel plate, and functions to secure kick stop 10 to the floor material with fasteners. The length of overhang of bottom plate 12 from side plate 11 may be any length that allows for fastening with fasteners, and is, for example, 3 to 5 cm.

[0016] The side plates 11 and bottom plate 12 may be formed as separate members that are fixed together by known fixing means such as welding or adhesive, or may be formed as a single member that is machined to form the side plates 11 and bottom plate 12 as an integral unit. There are no restrictions on the material of the kick stop 10, but it is preferably made of a metal such as stainless steel to ensure mechanical strength.

[0017] As shown in Figures 2(A) and 2(B), kick stop set 1 is used with side panels 11 arranged to surround an enclosure object SE. The enclosure object SE is not limited to certain objects, but may be a hole, an installed power line, or other object that needs to be protected from foot trapping, or from collisions with feet or various equipment. Two kick stops 10 are arranged to surround the enclosure object SE, with rotational symmetry in a plan view.

[0018] The side panels 11 preferably have an L-shaped cross section with a long side and a short side in plan view. One kick stop set 1 can be used to enclose various enclosure objects SE of different sizes. For example, it can enclose the enclosure object SE shown in FIG. 2(A), or it can enclose an enclosure object SE that is large in the left-right direction on the paper as shown in FIG. 2(B). One kick stop set 1 can accommodate enclosure objects SE of various sizes.

[0019] Furthermore, because kick stoppers 10 have the same shape, they can be stacked to create a compact unit, as shown in Figure 3. This makes kick stoppers 10 easy to transport to the installation site, and also makes it easy to secure a storage space for them before installation.

[0020] Next, a specific description will be given of a method for installing the kick stop set 1. First, a description will be given of an installation method when the floor material is a steel plate such as a checkered steel plate.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 4, kick stoppers 10 are placed so as to surround hole HA and pipe PI drilled in steel plate SP. The placement of kick stoppers 10 here is done to confirm the positions for drilling pilot holes for stud bolts and to adjust the length of side plate 11. Two kick stoppers 10 are placed rotationally symmetrically in a plan view so that each side plate 11 surrounds hole HA and pipe PI, and the positions of insertion holes 13 are marked on steel plate SP. In addition, the portion of the long side of side plate 11 that extends beyond the short side of the other side plate is cut along the cutting line shown in FIG. 4. Note that this step may be omitted if the positions of the pilot holes for stud bolts and the length of side plate 11 are known in advance.

[0022] Then, pilot holes for driving in stud bolts are drilled with a hammer drill or the like at the marked locations of the steel plate SP as shown in Fig. 5. Subsequently, as shown in Fig. 6, stud bolts 21 are driven into the pilot holes.

[0023] Next, as shown in Fig. 7, two kick stoppers 10 are placed on the steel plate SP by inserting stud bolts 21 into insertion holes 13 of the kick stoppers 10. Then, as shown in Fig. 8, nuts 22 are screwed onto the stud bolts 21 to fix the bottom plate 12 to the steel plate SP, thereby installing the kick stopper set 1.

[0024] The installation method of the kick stop set 1 offers the following advantages over the conventional installation method using welding. It eliminates the need for the setup required for welding, i.e., measuring on-site, fabricating the kick stop according to those dimensions, and transporting the welding equipment and power cable to the installation location. It also eliminates the need for painting to remove paint burns on the welded joints and backsides after welding. Furthermore, because the kick stop set 1 can be installed more easily than by welding, it improves work efficiency and significantly reduces installation time.

[0025] This kick stop set 1 can also be adapted to different enclosure sizes. For example, this can be done when the size of the piping PI needs to be increased due to the installation of additional electrical wires. As shown in Figures 9(A) and 9(B), this can be adapted by simply using the side plates 11 of the kick stop 10 as is, without cutting them.

[0026] Furthermore, since kick stop sets 1 of the same shape can be used for a variety of work sites, it is possible to manufacture a large number of kick stop sets 1. This allows kick stop sets 1 to be provided at low cost.

[0027] Furthermore, by stocking multiple types of kick stop sets 1 with different lengths of the long and short sides of the side panels 11, it is possible to select and use the kick stop set 1 of the appropriate size for various sizes of enclosure objects on site.

[0028] As shown in Figure 10, in the case of a thin steel plate SP, kick stop set 1 can be installed by drilling a through hole in the steel plate SP. Specifically, kick stop 10 is placed on steel plate SP so that insertion hole 13 in bottom plate 12 is aligned with the through hole in the steel plate SP, and bolt 23 is inserted into the through hole and insertion hole 13. Bottom plate 12 is then fixed to steel plate SP by screwing nut 22 onto bolt 23 protruding above bottom plate 12. In this way, kick stop set 1 can be installed on steel plate SP. This method of installing kick stop set 1 can be applied to any floor material as long as it can have a through hole drilled in it.

[0029] Next, a method for installing the kick stop set 1 when the floor material is a concrete slab CS will be described with reference to Figure 11. Here, a drive-in anchor bolt 31 is used as the fastener.

[0030] First, pilot holes for inserting drive-in anchor bolts are drilled in the concrete slab CS using a hammer drill or the like. Drive-in anchor bolts 31 are inserted into the pilot holes and fixed in place. Next, the drive-in anchor bolts 31 are inserted into the insertion holes 13 of the kick stoppers 10, thereby placing two kick stoppers 10 on the concrete slab CS, and the kick stopper set 1 can be installed on the concrete slab CS by screwing nuts 32 onto the drive-in anchor bolts 31.

[0031] Next, a method for installing the kick stop set 1 when the floor material is grating GR will be described with reference to Figure 12. Here, a hook bolt 41 is used as the fastener.

[0032] The hook portion of the hook bolt 41 is inserted into the gap in the grating GR and hooked onto the bottom of the grating GR. Then, the bolt portion of the hook bolt 41 is inserted into the insertion hole 13 of the kick stop 10, placing the two kick stoppers 10 on top of the grating GR, and the nuts 42 are screwed onto the bolt portions. This allows the kick stop set 1 to be installed on the grating GR.

[0033] As described above, the kick stop set 1 has a high versatility as it can be installed on a variety of floor materials despite having the same shape.

[0034] In the above, kick stop 10 has been described in which side plate 11 is L-shaped and bent at a right angle, with bottom plate 12 extending from the short side. However, the shape is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, side plate 11 and bottom plate 12 may be bent at an angle less than 90°, as shown in FIG. 14. Alternatively, side plate 11 and bottom plate 12 may be bent at an angle less than 90°, as shown in FIG. 15. Furthermore, bottom plate 12 may be positioned to extend from the long side of side plate 11.

[0035] In addition, it is preferable that the long sides of the side panels 11 are straight so as to accommodate various enclosure sizes, but as shown in Figure 14, the short sides of the side panels 11 may be curved or may be bent in multiple stages. [Explanation of symbols]
