Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a long material support that is attached to a hanging member suspended from the ceiling or the like of a building to support a long material such as a pipe. [Background technology]

[0002] A known long material support that is attached to a hanging member such as a hanging bolt hanging from the ceiling of a building or the like to support long materials such as pipes has an engagement hole formed in the upper and lower bent portions of the mounting body that engages with the hanging bolt, and a biasing member at the vertical base of the mounting body that biases the hanging bolt into the engagement hole.The biasing member is made of a strip-shaped elastic body formed in a V-shape, and by pressing the hanging bolt from the valley side of the V-shape of the biasing member toward the open side, the biasing member is deflected, thereby applying a biasing force that engages the hanging bolt with the engagement hole (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-223241 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When a biasing force is applied by the V-shaped biasing member as described above, the biasing force includes a component in the direction in which the suspension bolt comes out of the engagement hole. Therefore, for example, when the suspension bolt is about to come out of the engagement hole, the biasing force of the biasing member acts in a direction that encourages the suspension bolt to come out.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and has as its object to more reliably maintain the engaged state of the suspending member. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, The present invention provides A long material support device attached to a hanging member to support a long material, an upper locking member and a lower locking member, which are respectively locked at upper and lower positions relative to the hanging member; a band-shaped connecting portion that connects the upper locking member and the lower locking member; a support body portion connected to the connecting portion and supporting the elongated material, The upper and lower locking members each have a locking recess having an opening that opens in a direction parallel to the width direction of the connecting portion, and an abutment portion that abuts against a portion of the hanging member opposite the connecting portion, a biasing member is provided at the connecting portion to bias the suspending member toward the abutting portion of the upper locking member and the abutting portion of the lower locking member; The biasing member has a first biasing portion and a second biasing portion, each of which is plate-shaped, and the first biasing portion and the second biasing portion extend in oblique directions that intersect with each other from the connecting portion toward the abutment portions of the upper locking member and the lower locking member.

[0007] As a result, since the first and second urging portions are arranged to extend in diagonal directions that intersect with each other as described above, the resultant urging forces produced by these have a larger component in the direction of moving the suspending member away from the connecting portion, and are less likely to produce a component in the direction of causing the suspending member to slip out of the locking recess, thereby more reliably maintaining the engagement state of the suspending member. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] In the present invention, the engagement state of the suspending member can be maintained more reliably. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In each of the following embodiments, components having the same functions as those in other embodiments will be denoted by the same reference numerals and will not be described again. Furthermore, the components described in each embodiment and modified example may be combined in various ways within a logically possible range.

[0011] (Embodiment 1) 1 to 4, the long material support 100 is attached to a hanging bolt 200, which is a hanging member suspended from a ceiling, for example, to support a long material 300 such as a pipe. The long material support 100 includes an upper locking member 111 (hanging member locking member) and a lower locking member 112, which are respectively locked to the hanging bolt 200 at relatively upper and lower positions, a belt-shaped connecting part 113 connecting the upper and lower locking members 111 and 112, a U-shaped support main body 121 connected to the connecting part 113 and supporting the long material 300, and a cover member 131 that closes an open part 122 above the support main body 121.

[0012] The upper and lower locking members 111 and 112 each have locking recesses 111a and 112a with openings 111c and 112c that open in a direction parallel to the width direction of the connecting portion 113, and abutting portions 111b and 112b that abut against the portion of the suspension bolt 200 opposite the connecting portion 113 (the front left portion in Figures 1 to 3). Although not particularly limited, in this embodiment, the locking recesses 111a and 112a are formed so as to have openings 111c and 112c in opposite directions, and the long material support 100 can be attached to the suspension bolt 200 by twisting it. Furthermore, locking recess 112a is formed with a constant width from opening 112c to the back portion, while locking recess 111a is formed in a hook shape with a slightly wider width at the back portion, allowing suspension bolt 200 to swing slightly in the width direction of locking recess 112a and making it difficult for suspension bolt 200 to come out of locking recess 111a when in contact with abutment portion 111b. Furthermore, although not essential, protrusion 124 protruding from support main body 121 or connecting portion 113, etc., is provided between upper and lower locking members 111 and 112 so as to block locking recess 112a of lower locking member 112 in plan view, thereby reliably preventing the lower side of suspension bolt 200 from tilting as if twisted in a direction that causes it to come out of locking recess 112a of lower locking member 112, thereby preventing the locked state of suspension bolt 200 from being released.

[0013] The connecting portion 113 is provided with a biasing member 140 that biases the suspension bolt 200 toward the abutment portions 111b and 112b of the upper and lower locking members 111 and 112. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the biasing member 140 is formed such that a plate-shaped first biasing portion 142 and a plate-shaped second biasing portion 143 extend from opposing edge portions of a base portion 141 attached to the connecting portion 113 in directions obliquely intersecting each other from the connecting portion 113 toward the abutment portions 111b and 112b of the upper and lower locking members 111 and 112. More specifically, the first biasing portion 142 is formed to extend obliquely from an edge 113a on one side in the width direction of the connecting portion 113 toward an edge 113b on the other side, and toward the abutment portions 111b and 112b of the upper and lower locking members 111 and 112. The second urging portion 143 is formed so as to extend obliquely from the edge portion 113b on the other side of the connecting portion 113 toward the edge portion 113a on the one side and toward the abutting portions 111b and 112b of the upper and lower locking members 111 and 112. In other words, the first urging portion 142 and the second urging portion 143 are formed so as to intersect with each other in a plan view. Although not essential, portions of the widthwise edges of the first urging portion 142 and the second urging portion 143 are folded back to form convex portions 142a and 143a that fit into the thread groove of the suspension bolt 200.

[0014] The first and second biasing portions 142 and 143 have overlapping portions that overlap each other over at least a portion of the longitudinal direction of the suspension bolt 200. Interlocking abutment portion 143b, which is the tip edge of the overlapping portion of the second biasing portion 143, abuts against the connecting portion 113 side of the first biasing portion 142. When the operating portion 142b at the tip of the first biasing portion 142 is pressed toward the connecting portion 113, the pressing force is transmitted to the second biasing portion 143 via the interlocking abutment portion 143b, and the second biasing portion 143 is also pressed toward the connecting portion 113 in conjunction with the first biasing portion 142. As a result, the biasing force is released by pressing the operating portion 142b at one location, making it easy to attach / detach the long material support 100 to / from the suspension bolt 200 and to adjust the height of the piping with one hand. Furthermore, although not essential, the second urging portion 143 may be provided with a protrusion 143c with a folded tip, making it more difficult for the suspension bolt 200 to slip out of the locking recess 111a of the upper locking member 111. Even in this case, the second urging portion 143 is pushed in in conjunction with the first urging portion 142 as described above, making it easy to lock the suspension bolt 200 to the upper locking member 111.

[0015] Lid member 131 is pivotally supported by pivot portion 123 at the upper end of support body portion 121 on the side opposite the connection portion with coupling portion 113. More specifically, by being able to swing in a substantially vertical plane as shown by arrow A in Fig. 1, it is possible to close and open open portion 122 of support body portion 121, and is also able to swing slightly in a substantially horizontal plane as shown by arrow B in Fig. 2. An opening closing portion 132, an upper locking member locking portion 133 (hanging member locking member locking portion), and an opening suppression abutment portion 134 are provided at the tip of lid member 131.

[0016] The upper locking member locking portion 133 is configured to be locked to the edge portion 111d on the opposite side of the opening 111c of the upper locking member 111 when the cover member 131 is swung from the swing position shown in Fig. 2 to the swing position shown in Fig. 3. At this time, the opening closing portion 132 located near the side of the suspension bolt 200 closes the opening 111c of the locking recess 111a of the upper locking member 111, thereby more reliably preventing the suspension bolt 200 from slipping out of the locking recess 111a.

[0017] Furthermore, the opening-preventing abutment 134 abuts against the underside of the upper locking member 111, and prevents the cover member 131 from swinging in a direction that opens the open portion 122 of the support main body 121 when the cover member 131 closes the opening 111c of the locking recess 111a as shown in Fig. 3. Note that the opening-preventing abutment 134 as described above is not necessarily provided from the viewpoint of maintaining the engaged state of the suspension bolt 200, but providing it makes it easier to bring the upper locking member 111 and the cover member 131 into close contact, thereby facilitating the task of reliably locking the upper locking member locking portion 133 to the edge portion 111d of the upper locking member 111.

[0018] As described above, the first and second urging portions 142 and 143 are formed so as to intersect with each other in a plan view, and therefore the resultant force of these urging portions has a larger component in the direction of moving the suspension bolt 200 away from the connecting portion 113, making it less likely that a component will occur in the direction of causing the suspension bolt 200 to slip out of the locking recesses 111a and 112a, or more likely that a component will occur in the direction of preventing the suspension bolt 200 from slipping out of the locking recesses 111a and 112a.

[0019] Furthermore, since the interlocking abutment portion 143b of the second urging portion 143 abuts against the connecting portion 113 side of the first urging portion 142, when the first urging portion 142 is pushed toward the connecting portion 113, the second urging portion 143 is also interlockingly pushed toward the connecting portion 113 side, and as a result, the first urging portion 142 and the second urging portion 143, which generate urging forces in different directions as described above, can be easily bent with a single operation, thereby improving the ease of attaching and detaching the long material support 100 to the hanging bolt 200 and adjusting the height of the long material support 100.

[0020] Furthermore, since the first biasing portion 142 and the second biasing portion 143 have overlapping portions in which they overlap each other in at least a portion of the longitudinal direction of the suspension bolt 200, it is easy to apply a large biasing force even if the total length of the longitudinal direction of the suspension bolt 200 in the biasing member 140 is short.

[0021] In the above example, the leading edge of the overlapping portion of the second urging portion 143 is shown as the interlocking abutment portion 143b, but this is not limited to this. Even if there is no overlapping portion, the interlocking abutment portion 143b may be provided so that the first urging portion 142 and the second urging portion 143 can be deflected by a single operation.

[0022] Furthermore, as described above, by engaging the upper locking member locking portion 133 of the cover member 131 with the upper locking member 111, the engagement state of the hanging member can be maintained more reliably regardless of whether the hanging bolt 200 moves or not.

[0023] (Embodiment 2) In the first embodiment described above, the locking recess 112a of the lower locking member 112 has a constant width from the opening 112c to the innermost portion, but as shown in Fig. 7, for example, the locking recess 112a may be formed in a hook shape with a slightly wider inner width, similar to the locking recess 111a of the upper locking member 111, so that the suspension bolt 200 is less likely to slip out of the locking recess 112a when it is in contact with the contact portion 112b. In this case, the protrusion 124 protruding from the connecting portion 113 does not need to be provided.

[0024] Even in this configuration, the effect of first biasing portion 142 and second biasing portion 143 being able to make it difficult for the suspension bolt 200 to slip out of the locking recesses 111a and 112a can be similarly obtained.

[0025] (Embodiment 3) The locking recesses 111a and 112a are not limited to being formed with openings 111c and 112c facing in opposite directions, and may be formed so that they open in the same direction, as shown in Fig. 8, for example. Even in such a case, the first and second biasing portions 142 and 143, as described above, can make it difficult for the suspension bolt 200 to slip out of the locking recesses 111a and 112a. Furthermore, by interlocking the first and second biasing portions 142 and 143, it is possible to easily attach and detach the long material support 100 to and from the suspension bolt 200 by simply pressing the operating portion 142b in one location.

[0026] (Embodiment 4) The first urging portion 142 and the second urging portion 143 are not limited to being provided as a single piece each, and for example, as shown in Fig. 9, a pair of second urging portions 143 may be provided located on both sides of the first urging portion 142 having the operating portion 142b. In this case, the pair of second urging portions 143 may be provided as separate members or as separately flexible members, or may be provided so as to be integrally connected at the interlocking abutment portion 143b. In this case, it is possible to easily balance the forces pressing the suspension bolt 200 against the abutment portions 111b and 112b of the upper and lower locking members 111 and 112. Furthermore, when a pair of second urging portions 143 are arranged so as to be connected at the interlocking abutment portion 143b, the pushing force when pushing the operating portion 142b can be easily transmitted in a balanced manner to the second urging portion 143 via the interlocking abutment portion 143b near the center of the second urging portion 143, which also makes it easy to improve operability.

[0027] (Embodiment 5) 10, the first and second urging portions 142 and 143 may be formed to extend obliquely toward the longitudinal direction of the suspension bolt 200. In this case, the edges of the first and second urging portions 142 and 143 can be made to abut against the connecting portion 113 side of the suspension bolt 200, so that the suspension bolt 200 is pressed against the abutment portions 111b and 112b of the upper and lower locking members 111 and 112. Furthermore, the interlocking of the first and second urging portions 142 and 143 can improve the ease of attaching and detaching the long material support 100 to and from the suspension bolt 200, as well as adjusting the height of the long material support 100.

[0028] Furthermore, in the example shown in the same figure, the tip of the second biasing portion 143 extends to the side of the suspension bolt 200, which makes it easy to prevent the suspension bolt 200 from slipping out of the engagement recesses 111a and 112a of the upper and lower engagement members 111 and 112.

[0029] (Other matters) First urging portion 142 and second urging portion 143 are not limited to being formed so as to extend obliquely from edge portions 113a and 113b on one and the other widthwise sides of connecting portion 113 toward edge portions 113b and 113a on the opposite side as in the first embodiment, or so as to extend obliquely toward the longitudinal direction of suspension bolt 200 as in the fifth embodiment. As long as they are formed so as to extend obliquely so as to intersect with each other, it is easy to increase the component of force moving suspension bolt 200 away from connecting portion 113. Furthermore, first urging portion 142 and second urging portion 143 can be easily bent in conjunction with a single operation, which also makes it easy to improve workability.
