[0002] A known long material support device that is attached to a hanging member such as a hanging bolt hanging from the ceiling of a building or the like to support a long material such as a pipe is one that fixes the pipe support part by clamping the hanging member between a fixing piece formed with an insertion groove for hooking onto the hanging member and a pipe support body provided with an engagement groove (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 07-025386 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Even if the piping support portion is fixed by clamping the hanging member between a fixed piece having an insertion groove formed therein and a piping support body having an engagement groove as described above, it is not easy to reliably prevent the hanging member from coming off the insertion groove or engagement groove if the fixed piece, piping support body, and hanging member move relative to each other due to vibrations caused by an earthquake, for example.

[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, a hanging member locking member that is locked to the hanging member; a support body portion connected to the hanging member locking member, having a U-shape with an open portion open upward, and supporting the elongated material; Equipped with The open end of the support body or a cover member attached to the support body is connected to the hanging member locking member, thereby closing the open portion; the suspending member locking member has a locking recess having an opening that opens in a direction intersecting a direction from the support main body toward the suspending member, The open end or the cover member is characterized by having an opening closing portion that closes the opening of the locking recess of the hanging member locking member when the open portion is closed, and a hanging member locking member locking portion that is locked to the hanging member locking member to keep the opening of the locking recess closed.

[0007] As a result, by engaging the suspender member engaging portion of the cover member with the suspender member engaging member, the engaged state of the suspender member can be maintained more reliably regardless of whether the suspender member moves or not. [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 order to maintain a state in which the opening closing portion 132 of the cover member 131 closes the opening 111c of the locking recess 111a of the upper locking member 111 and prevents the hanging bolt 200 from slipping out of the locking recess 111a, it is not necessary for the upper locking member locking portion 133 of the cover member 131 to be locked to the edge portion 111d opposite the opening 111c in the upper locking member 111 as described above, but rather the positional relationship between the cover member 131 and the upper locking member 111 can be fixed by various mechanisms.

[0024] Specifically, for example, as shown in Figure 7(a), instead of providing an upper locking member locking portion 133 at the tip of the cover member 131, a hanging locking portion 135 may be provided, and a locking hole 111e may be provided near the edge opposite the opening 111c in the upper locking member 111, and the hanging locking portion 135 may be fitted into the locking hole 111e to be fixed in place, as shown in Figure 7(b).

[0025] The presence or absence of the above-described fitted state can be easily determined at a glance, making it easy to confirm that installation is complete.

[0026] (Embodiment 3) Also, as shown in Figure 8(a), an upwardly bent locking portion 111f may be provided on the edge of the upper locking member 111 near the opening 111c, so that the edge of the lid member 131 near the opening closing portion 132 is locked and fixed as shown in Figure 8(b).

[0027] In this case, it is also easy to confirm the completion of construction.

[0028] (Embodiment 4) Furthermore, as shown in Figure 9(a), a step portion 137 may be provided near the opening closing portion 132 of the cover member 131 so as to fit into the lower side of the upper locking member 111, and a locking portion 136 bent upward may be provided at the tip, so that the locking portion 136 is locked to the edge portion 111d of the upper locking member 111 from the lower side of the upper locking member 111, as shown in Figure 9(b).

[0029] In this case, it is easy to determine whether the end of the cover member 131 has entered the lower side of the upper locking member 111, so it is also easy to check whether installation is complete.

[0030] (Other matters) In the above example, the cover member 131 is connected to and engaged with the upper engaging member 111, but this is not limited to this. For example, if the open end of the support main body portion 121 is connected to the upper engaging member 111 and the open portion is closed, the open end of the support main body portion 121 may be engaged with the upper engaging member 111 in the same way as the cover member 131.
