[0010] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention, in which the present invention is embodied in a long body holder for holding a pipe for supplying hot or cold water as a long body, will be described with reference to Figs.

[0011] Note that Figure 1 is a front view of the elongated body holder 10, and the vertical direction of Figure 1 corresponds to the vertical direction of the elongated body holder 10, the left-right direction of Figure 1 corresponds to the left-right direction of the elongated body holder 10, and the front-to-back direction of the paper in Figure 1 corresponds to the front-to-back direction of the elongated body holder 10.

[0012] 1 to 7, the elongated body holder 10 comprises a base 20 fixed to the construction surface S, and a pair of holding members (a first holding member 30 and a second holding member 40) provided on the base 20 for holding the pipe 100. The base 20, the first holding member 30, and the second holding member 40 are integrally molded from a synthetic resin such as polypropylene. In other words, the first holding member 30 and the second holding member 40 are connected to each other via the base 20.

[0013] The base 20 comprises a mounting portion 21 having a mounting hole 21a extending vertically in the center in the front-rear and left-right directions, a first V-shaped columnar portion 22 erected on the right edge of the upper surface of the mounting portion 21, and a second V-shaped columnar portion 23 erected on the left edge of the upper surface of the mounting portion 21. The base 20 is fastened to the construction surface S with screws via the mounting hole 21a of the mounting portion 21. The underside of the base 20 is provided with a sharp protrusion 20a that bites into the construction surface S, preventing the elongated body holder 10 from rotating when fastened with the screws.

[0014] A first hinge 22a made of a thin hinge is provided at the tip of the first pillar-shaped section 22. A second hinge 23a made of a thin hinge is provided at the tip of the second pillar-shaped section 23.

[0015] The first holding member 30 and the second holding member 40 are each semi-cylindrical. The first holding member 30 has a first holding recess 11a. The second holding member 40 has a second holding recess 11b that, together with the first holding recess 11a, forms a holding portion 11 that surrounds the outer periphery of the pipe 100. An inlet 11c for inserting the pipe 100 into the holding portion 11 is provided between the first end 30a located on the upper side of the first holding member 30 and the first end 40a of the second holding member 40 that faces the first end 30a and is located on the upper side.

[0016] The outer surface of the first holding member 30, located midway between the upper first end 30a and the lower second end 30b, is connected to the first columnar portion 22 via a first hinge 22a. The outer surface of the second holding member 40, located midway between the upper first end 40a and the lower second end 40b, is connected to the second columnar portion 23 via a second hinge 23a. The inlet 11c of the holding portion 11 is located on the axis of the mounting hole 21a of the mounting portion 21. The left-right width of the inlet 11c is greater than the inner diameter of the mounting hole 21a.

[0017] The first holding member 30 has a plurality of (nine in this embodiment) outward engaging claws 31 provided at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction on the outer surface on the first end 30a side. A finger hook 32 protrudes from the outer surface of the first holding member 30 near the first hinge 22a. The first holding member 30 has a circumferentially extending rib 33 provided on the inner surface near the first hinge 22a. The rib 33 applies a resistance force in the axial direction to the pipe 100 accommodated in the holding portion 11, thereby preventing the pipe 100 from moving in the axial direction (see FIG. 8).

[0018] The second holding member 40 has a plurality of inward engaging claws 41 (fewer than the number of outward engaging claws 31; three in this embodiment) provided at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction on the inner surface of the first end 40a. A step 42 is provided on the outer surface of the second holding member 40 near the second hinge 23a. The width of the second holding member 40 in the front-to-rear direction on the first end 40a side, with the step 42 as the boundary, is narrower than the width of the second holding member 40 in the front-to-rear direction on the second end 40b side. The second holding member 40 has a circumferentially extending rib 43 on the inner surface near the second hinge 23a. The rib 43 applies axial resistance to the pipe 100 held by the holding portion 11, thereby preventing the pipe 100 from moving in the axial direction (see FIG. 8).

[0019] A semicircular notch 34 is provided at the tip of the second end 30b of the first holding member 30. The inner diameter of the notch 34 is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting hole 21a of the mounting portion 21. A semicircular notch 44 is provided at the tip of the second end 40b of the second holding member 40. The inner diameter of the notch 44 is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting hole 21a of the mounting portion 21. The entrance 11c of the holding portion 11 is wide in the left-right direction so that the entire notches 34, 44 can be seen when the elongated body holder 10 is viewed from above with the first hinge 22a and the second hinge 23a in their natural states (see FIG. 5).

[0020] Therefore, when the elongate body holder 10 is viewed in a plane with the first hinge 22a and the second hinge 23a in their natural state (see Figure 5), the mounting hole 21a of the mounting portion 21 is not hidden by the first end 30a and second end 30b of the first holding member 30 or the first end 40a and second end 40b of the second holding member 40, and the mounting hole 21a can be seen through the entrance 11c and the cutouts 34, 44.

[0021] Therefore, when fastening the elongated body holder 10 to the construction surface S with a screw, the first hinge 22a and the second hinge 23a remain in their natural state, and a screw (not shown) can be moved linearly from the entrance 11c of the holder 11 to the mounting hole 21a of the mounting portion 21. Therefore, when inserting the screw into the mounting hole 21a, there is no need to tilt the first holding member 30 or the second holding member 40 by hand, for example, i.e., to keep the first hinge 22a and the second hinge 23a in an elastically deformed state.

[0022] At the first end 30a of the first holding member 30, first engagement marks 35 are provided in front of and behind the outward engagement claw 31 located closest to the entrance 11c of the holding part 11. The first engagement marks 35 are provided to extend in the radial direction of the first holding member 30, and are shaped so that their circumferential width narrows as they move radially inward. At the base end of the first engagement mark 35, the end face opposite the entrance 11c is defined as a first reference 35a.

[0023] A second engagement mark 45 is provided on the outer surface of the first end 40a of the second holding member 40. The second engagement mark 45 is made of a protrusion and has an isosceles triangle shape in a plan view. The second engagement mark 45 is provided so that the base of the isosceles triangle is located near the inward engagement claw 41 that is located farthest from the entrance 11c of the holding portion 11 among the multiple inward engagement claws 41. This base is defined as a second reference 45a.

[0024] 1 to 7 (assuming that the elongated body holder 10 has been screwed to the construction surface S, and the first hinge 22a and the second hinge 23a are in their natural state), when a pipe 100 is to be held in the elongated body holder 10, the pipe 100 is inserted into the holding portion 11 through the inlet 11c (see FIG. 7 in particular). The pipe 100 inserted into the holding portion 11 is pressed against the second end 30b of the first holding member 30 and the second end 40b of the second holding member 40, causing the first holding member 30 to tilt about the first hinge 22a as a fulcrum, and the second holding member 40 to tilt about the second hinge 23a as a fulcrum. As the first holding member 30 and the second holding member 40 tilt, the inner diameter of the holding portion 11 becomes smaller.

[0025] Therefore, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, the first end 30a of the first holding member 30 and the first end 40a of the second holding member 40 approach each other, eventually closing the entrance 11c, and then the outward engaging claws 31 of the first holding member 30 and the inward engaging claws 41 of the second holding member 40 snap-engage, thereby clamping the pipe 100 between the first holding member 30 and the second holding member 40.

[0026] 8 is a diagram showing a state in which the elongated body holder 10 holds a pipe 100 (100A) with the smallest outer diameter among the sizes of pipes 100 that the holder 10 is compatible with. In this state, the inward engaging claws 41 of the second holding member 40 are engaged with the outward engaging claws 31 of the multiple outward engaging claws 31 of the first holding member 30 that are the furthest circumferentially from the inlet 11c. Therefore, by simply progressing the snap engagement between the outward engaging claws 31 and the inward engaging claws 41 until the reaction force from the pipe 100 (100A) or the like becomes large enough to reduce the inner diameter of the holder 11, it is possible to engage all of the multiple inward engaging claws 41 with the outward engaging claws 31.

[0027] Furthermore, when the tip of the first end 30a of the first holding member 30 (the end face of the first engagement mark 35) abuts against the step 42, it can be confirmed that the inner diameter of the holding portion 11 is suitable for holding a pipe 100 (100A) with the smallest outer diameter.

[0028] 9 is a diagram showing a state in which the elongated body holder 10 holds the pipe 100 (100B) having the largest outer diameter among the sizes of the corresponding pipes 100. In this state, the inward engaging claws 41 of the second holding member 40 are engaged with the outward engaging claws 31 closest to the inlet 11c among the plurality of outward engaging claws 31 of the first holding member 30. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, for example, it may not be possible to engage all of the plurality of inward engaging claws 41 with the outward engaging claws 31 by judging only by the feel of the snap engagement between the outward engaging claws 31 and the inward engaging claws 41 until the reaction force from the pipe 100 (100B) or the like becomes large to a certain extent.

[0029] 11 and 12, the first engagement mark 35 of the first holding member 30 and the second engagement mark 45 of the second holding member 40, which were separated in the left-right direction when the entrance 11c was open (see FIG. 1), approach each other as the entrance 11c is closed, but the second reference 45a of the second engagement mark 45 does not reach the gap between the first references 35a of the pair of first engagement marks 35. Therefore, by visually confirming that the second reference 45a of the second engagement mark 45 has not reached the gap between the first references 35a of the pair of first engagement marks 35, the worker can confirm that some of the multiple inward engagement claws 41 are not engaged with the outward engagement claws 31.

[0030] When the worker confirms that the inward engagement claws 41 are incompletely engaged with the outward engagement claws 31, the worker further advances the snap engagement between the outward engagement claws 31 and the inward engagement claws 41 to reduce the inner diameter of the holding portion 11. Therefore, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the second reference 45a of the second engagement mark 45 will reach almost between the first references 35a of the pair of first engagement marks 35 as the inner diameter of the holding portion 11 decreases. By visually confirming that the second reference 45a of the second engagement mark 45 has almost reached the space between the first references 35a of the pair of first engagement marks 35, the worker can confirm that all of the inward engagement claws 41 are engaged with the outward engagement claws 31, and can easily avoid incomplete engagement of the multiple inward engagement claws 41 with the outward engagement claws 31.

[0031] This embodiment can also provide the following advantageous effects. (1) The first engagement mark 35 is provided on the first end 30a of the first holding member 30 on the inlet 11c side. The second engagement mark 45 is provided on the first end 40a of the second holding member 40 on the inlet 11c side. Therefore, while inserting the pipe 100 into the holding part 11, the change in the relative position between the first engagement mark 35 and the second engagement mark 45 can be visually confirmed with minimal eye movement, improving workability.

[0032] (2) A pair of first engagement marks 35 are provided, and tilting of the first holding member 30 and the second holding member 40 causes the second engagement mark 45 (second holding member 40) to pass between the pair of first engagement marks 35. Therefore, it is easy to accurately grasp the relative positions of the first engagement mark 35 and the second engagement mark 45, and the guiding action of the pair of first engagement marks 35 makes it possible to accurately and easily perform the snap engagement between the outward engagement claws 31 and the inward engagement claws 41.

[0033] (3) The second end 30b of the first holding member 30 and the second end 40b of the second holding member 40 each have a notch 34, 44 that allows the mounting hole 21a of the mounting portion 21 to be visible from the entrance 11c side. Therefore, by pressing the pipe 100 against the portion of the second end 30b, 40b where the notch 34, 44 is not provided, the first holding member 30 and the second holding member 40 can be tilted to close the entrance 11c. In other words, it is possible to achieve both ease of screwing the mounting portion 21 and the functionality of a so-called one-touch pipe clamp at a high level.

[0034] (4) The finger hook 32 and the step 42 provide a clue for the operator when further advancing the snap engagement between the outward engaging claws 31 and the inward engaging claws 41, making the operation easier.

[0035] (Another example) The present invention can also be implemented in the following manner, for example. When holding a pipe 100 on a long body holder 10 installed on a construction surface S at a high altitude, a synthetic resin work tool 200 is used, as shown in Figures 13 to 16. The work tool 200 is used in combination with a long rod 300 that the worker holds. The rod 300 is a cylindrical body made of metal, synthetic resin, or wood.

[0036] The power tool 200 includes a cylindrical connecting portion 210 into which the tip of the rod body 300 is press-fitted and a holding portion 220 connected to the connecting portion 210 to hold the pipe 100. A pair of holding portions 220 are provided, spaced apart in the axial direction of the pipe 100. Each holding portion 220 includes a pair of holding pieces 221. The holding pieces 221 removably clamp and hold the pipe 100 by elastic deformation. An engaging claw 221a is provided on the outer surface of the tip of each holding piece 221. An anti-slip rib 221b is provided on the inner surface of each holding piece 221 to prevent the pipe 100 from moving in the axial direction.

[0037] 17 , when a pipe 100 is to be held by the elongated body holder 10 installed on a high construction surface S, the pipe 100 is pushed into a pair of holding portions 220 of the power tool 200 from the tip side of each holding piece 221, and the pipe 100 is clamped between the corresponding pair of holding pieces 221. The power tool 200, which is holding the pipe 100, is lifted by operating the rod body 300 and brought closer to the elongated body holder 10.

[0038] Then, using the gap formed between the pair of holding parts 220, while avoiding interference between the elongated body holder 10 and the power tool 200, the portion of the pipe 100 located between the pair of holding parts 220 is pressed against the elongated body holder 10, and the outward engaging claws 31 of the first holding member 30 and the inward engaging claws 41 of the second holding member 40 are engaged (see FIGS. 7 and 8). After this engagement is completed, the rod body 300 is operated to pull the power tool 200 downward, thereby elastically deforming each holding piece 221 and releasing each holding part 220 of the power tool 200 from the pipe 100.

[0039] Conversely, when removing the pipe 100 from the elongated body holder 10 installed on a high construction surface S, the work tool 200 is lifted by operating the rod body 300 and brought closer to the elongated body holder 10, and the engaging claw 221a of one of the holding pieces 221 is hooked onto the first end 40a of the second holding member 40 in the elongated body holder 10. Then, by operating the rod body 300 to pull the work tool 200 downward, the vicinity of the first end 40a of the second holding member 40 elastically deforms, and the outward engaging claws 31 of the first holding member 30 and the inward engaging claws 41 of the second holding member 40 are disengaged.

[0040] After the engagement is released, the pipe 100 may be allowed to fall under its own weight, or the pipe 100 attempting to fall may be caught by the tips of the holding pieces 221 of the power tool 200, and the pipe 100 may be slowly lowered together with the power tool 200.

[0041] The work tool 200 (and rod body 300) shown in Figures 13 to 17 makes it possible to attach and detach a pipe 100 to and from a long body holder 10 installed on a high construction surface S without using a stepladder or the like, thereby improving the efficiency of the work and also providing advantages in terms of safety of the work.

[0042] Furthermore, when attaching or detaching the pipe 100 to or from the elongated body holder 10, the pair of holding parts 220 hold the pipe 100 on both sides of the elongated body holder 10. Therefore, the pipe 100 can be pressed against the elongated body holder 10 and held in a stable manner.

[0043] The power tool 250 shown in Figure 18 is the power tool 200 shown in Figures 13 to 17, except that a notch 221c is provided on the inner surface of the tip of each holding piece 221. The pair of holding parts 220 can clamp and hold both longitudinal ends of the rectangular substrate 50 via the notch 221c. Multiple (two in this embodiment) elongated body holders 10 are fixed to the substrate 50 by screwing, bonding with an adhesive, or adhering with double-sided tape. The substrate 50 to which the multiple elongated body holders 10 are fixed is held by the holding parts 220 so that the multiple elongated body holders 10 are positioned between the pair of holding parts 220, in other words, with the multiple elongated body holders 10 upside down.

[0044] Then, after applying adhesive or applying double-sided tape to the surface of the substrate 50 opposite the elongated body holder 10, the substrate 50 and the work tool 250 are lifted to a high place by operating the rod 300, and the substrate 50 is pressed against the construction surface S to be fixed. After the substrate 50 has been fixed to the construction surface S, in other words, after the installation of the elongated body holder 10 has been completed, the work tool 250 is pulled downward by operating the rod 300, thereby removing the holding portion 220 of the work tool 250 from the substrate 50. The elongated body holder 10 thus installed on the construction surface S at an elevated location is used to hold the pipe 100 in the same manner as the work tool 200 shown in Figures 13 to 17.

[0045] 18, the work tool 250 can install the elongated body holder 10 and the pipe 100 on the construction surface S at a high altitude without using a stepladder or the like, which improves the efficiency of the work and is advantageous in terms of the safety of the work. In this sense, the work tool 250 can also be understood as a work tool for holding the elongated body holder 10. Note that another method of using the work tool 250 is to have the pipe 100 held by the elongated body holder 10 in advance, and then lift the pipe 100 together with the base plate 50 and the elongated body holder 10 to a high altitude at the same time, and install the entire set on the construction surface S in a single operation.

[0046] The power tool 260 shown in Figures 19 to 27 includes a cylindrical first connecting portion 270 that is press-fitted and fixed to the tip of a cylindrical rod body 300, and a cylindrical second connecting portion 271 that is press-fitted and fixed to the tip of the rod body 300. The first connecting portion 270 and the second connecting portion 271 are arranged in a positional relationship in which their central axes are perpendicular to each other. A common portion where the first connecting portion 270 and the second connecting portion 271 intersect is called an intersection portion 272. Note that the outer surfaces of the first connecting portion 270, the second connecting portion 271, and the intersection portion 272 are each lightened to reduce the weight of the power tool 260.

[0047] A first holding portion 280 for holding the pipe 100 is provided on the opposite side of the intersecting portion 272 from the first connecting portion 270. The first holding portion 280 has a pair of holding pieces 281. The holding pieces 281 are configured to removably clamp and hold the pipe 100 by elastic deformation. An engagement claw 281a is provided on the outer surface of the tip of each holding piece 281. Each engagement claw 281a performs the same function as the engagement claws 221a of the power tools 200 and 250 shown in FIGS. 13 to 18 (disengaging the outward engagement claws 31 and the inward engagement claws 41). Guides 281b are provided on both sides of the engagement claws 281a of each holding piece 281. The guides 281b prevent the engagement claws 281a from coming off the first end 40a of the elongated body holder 10 when the engagement claws 281a are hooked onto the first end 40a to fulfill their function. The inner surface of each holding piece 281 is provided with anti-slip ribs 281c for preventing the pipe 100 from moving in the axial direction.

[0048] The outer surface of the intersecting portion 272 opposite to the second connecting portion 271 (the surface other than the hollowed-out portion) has a semi-cylindrical shape centered on the central axis of the first connecting portion 270, and this semi-cylindrical portion of the intersecting portion 272 serves as the second holding portion 285. An insertion protrusion 285a is provided on the second holding portion 285 on the central axis of the second connecting portion 271.

[0049] As shown in Figure 26, when holding a pipe 100 on an elongated body holder 10 installed at a high construction surface S, the first connecting portion 270 of the work tool 260 is pressed into and fixed to the tip of the rod body 300, and the pipe 100 is held by the first holding portion 280 in the same manner as the work tools 200, 250 shown in Figures 13 to 18.

[0050] 27, when a base plate 50 to which a plurality of (two in this embodiment) elongated body holders 10 are fixed is installed on a construction surface S at a high altitude, the second connecting portion 271 of the work tool 260 is press-fitted and fixed to the tip of the rod body 300, and the second holding portion 285 is inserted into the holding section 11 of one of the plurality of elongated body holders 10 through the entrance 11c. Because the width (outer diameter of the semi-cylindrical surface) of the second holding portion 285 is larger than the width of the entrance 11c, the second holding portion 285 is tightened between the first holding member 30 and the second holding member 40 at the entrance 11c, and the elongated body holder 10 is held by the second holding portion 285.

[0051] Here, in the power tool 260, the surfaces of the elongated body holder 10 that come into contact with the first holding member 30 and the second holding member 40 are semi-cylindrical similar to the outer surface of the pipe 100, so that the second holding part 285 can be smoothly inserted into the elongated body holder 10 (holding part 11). In addition, because the outer surface of the second holding part 285 is hollowed out, the second holding part 285 can better catch on the first holding member 30 and the second holding member 40 of the elongated body holder 10, and the second holding part 285 can reliably hold the elongated body holder 10.

[0052] When the elongated body holder 10 is held by the second holding part 285, the insertion protrusion 285a of the second holding part 285 is inserted between the notches 34 and 44 of the elongated body holder 10. Therefore, the insertion protrusion 285a of the work tool 260 abuts against the inner edges of the notches 34, 44 of the elongated body holder 10, thereby preventing the elongated body holder 10, in other words, the board 50, from tilting relative to the work tool 260 and preventing the elongated body holder 10, in other words, the board 50, from shifting in the direction of the central axis of the first connecting part 270, and ensuring reliable installation (bonding) of the board 50 on the construction surface S.

[0053] 19 to 27, the work tool 260 has separate connecting parts (first connecting part 270 and second connecting part 271) to which the rod body 300 is fixed when the pipe 100 is held by the elongated body holder 10 installed on the construction surface S at a high altitude, and when the base plate 50 to which the elongated body holder 10 is fixed is installed on the construction surface S. Therefore, there is more space for arranging the first holding part 280 for holding the pipe 100 and the second holding part 285 for holding the elongated body holder 10, and the degree of freedom in designing each of the first holding part 280 and the second holding part 285 is increased.

[0054] The connecting portion 210 of the power tool 200, 250 may be integrally molded with the rod body 300, for example, to integrate the connecting portion 210 and the rod body 300.

[0055] The first engagement mark 35 may be provided near one of the plurality of outward engagement claws 31 that is located farthest from the entrance 11c.

[0056] The second engagement mark 45 is provided near the inward engagement claw 41 that is closest to the entrance 11c among the multiple inward engagement claws 41.

[0057] The number of outward engaging claws 31 should be less than or more than three times the number of inward engaging claws 41. In particular, if the number of outward engaging claws 31 is more than twice the number of inward engaging claws 41, the number of outward engaging claws 31 that are not used and exposed when holding the pipe 100 (100B) with the largest outer diameter will be large, in other words, the number of outward engaging claws 31 that are not engaged with the inward engaging claws 41 will be large, making it difficult to accurately determine the number. Therefore, without using the first engagement mark 35 and the second engagement mark 45, it will be difficult to confirm that all inward engaging claws 41 are engaged with the corresponding outward engaging claws 31. In other words, the present invention is particularly effective when the number of outward engaging claws 31 is more than twice the number of inward engaging claws 41.

[0058] The outward engaging claw 31 and / or the second engaging mark 45 may be provided by recessing or painting.

[0059] The first hinge 22a and / or the second hinge 23a may be changed to a hinge using an axis member.

[0060] The elongated body holder 10 in the above embodiment was a so-called one-touch pipe clamp that closes the entrance 11c by tilting the first holding member 30 and the second holding member 40 using the force of inserting the pipe 100 into the holding portion 11. This can be changed to a type of elongated body holder 10 in which, after inserting the pipe 100 into the holding portion 11, the worker directly tilts the first holding member 30 and the second holding member 40 with their fingers to close the entrance 11c.

[0061] Other application surfaces include the body of a vehicle.

[0062] Other pipes include drainage pipes, gas pipes, etc. Furthermore, other long objects than pipes include wire harnesses and optical fibers.
