[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0024] The general outline of the support member and support device is explained with reference to Figures 1 to 7. Support member 1 is a member for supporting an object, which can be attached to a lip channel steel 10, which is a channel steel having lip portions on both sides. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the support 50 comprises a lip channel steel 10 and a support member 1 attached to the lip channel steel 10. As shown in Figure 4, the shelf board 20 can be used as a shelf 100 by placing it on the support 50.

[0025] The lip channel steel 10 has a main wall 11, a side wall 12, and a lip portion C (C1 or C2, the same applies hereinafter). The main wall 11 is a plate-like member. The side walls 12 are a pair of plate-like members located on both sides of the main wall 11 and extending perpendicularly from the main wall 11. The lip portion C is a pair of plate-like members located at the ends of each side wall 12, extending perpendicularly from the side wall 12 (extending approximately parallel to the main wall 11).

[0026] In the lip channel steel 10, one lip portion C is designated as the first lip portion C1, and the other lip portion C is designated as the second lip portion C2. The space between the first lip portion C1 and the second lip portion C2 may be designated as an opening. The lip channel steel 10 (main wall 11, side wall 12, and lip portion C) is a member that extends in a linear direction. The lip channel steel 10 extends in the z-axis direction. The direction in which the lip channel steel 10 extends may be referred to as the extension direction. The direction perpendicular to the extension direction (the direction in which the two lip portions C1 and C2 are located) may be referred to as the width direction (x-axis direction in the figure).

[0027] The lip channel steel may be a lip channel steel fixed to the wall of a building, or it may be a portable lip channel steel that is not fixed to the wall of a building.

[0028] The support member 1 comprises a base 2, a first locking member L1, a second locking member L2, a lever member 3, a first connecting member J1, a second connecting member J2, and a biasing member 4. The base 2 is a member that supports the object to be supported when the support member 1 is attached to the lip channel steel 10. Each component constituting the support member 1 is directly or indirectly attached to the base 2.

[0029] The base body 2 is a member with a substantially L-shaped cross-section, having a first surface 2H and a second surface 2P extending in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 2H. The base body 2 is a long, elongated shape that extends in the width direction (x-axis direction in the figure) of the lip channel steel 10.

[0030] The diagram illustrates a state in which the first face 2H is positioned above the second face 2P. Hereafter, "upper" refers to the upper side in the y-axis direction of the diagram, and "lower" refers to the lower side in the y-axis direction of the diagram.

[0031] Of the first surface 2H of the base body 2, the surface facing the lip channel steel 10 when attached to the lip channel steel 10 is defined as the opposing surface 2HO. The opposing surface 2HO includes a through hole 2H1 through which the first locking member L1 passes. The through-hole 2H1 is sized to allow the first locking member L1 to pass through, and it is preferable that the gap between the first locking member L1 and the base 2 is small when the first locking member L1 has passed through the through-hole 2H1.

[0032] The first locking member L1 is a member that can be locked onto the first lip portion C1. The first locking member L1 is a long, rod-shaped member that penetrates the through-hole 2H1 of the base body 2 and extends inward from the opening of the lip channel steel 10 (when attached to the lip channel steel 10). The first locking member L1 is a movable member that is provided to be able to protrude inward and retract from the opening of the lip channel steel 10. When the first locking member L1 is in a protruding state, the first locking member L1 locks into the first lip portion C1. The lower end of the first locking member L1 is connected to the lever member 3 via the second connecting member J2.

[0033] The lever member 3 is a member that operates the protrusion and retraction of the first locking member L1. The lever member 3 is a long, rod-shaped member. One end of the lever member 3 (which may be referred to as the connecting end) is connected to the first locking member L1 via the second connecting member J2. The first locking member L1 protrudes and retracts when the other end of the lever member 3 (which may be referred to as the operating end) is operated. The lever member 3 is connected to the base body 2 via a first connecting member J1 located between the connecting end and the operating end.

[0034] The first connecting member J1 is a member that connects the lever member 3 and the base body 2. The first connecting member J1 includes a first pivot shaft and a first pivot member.

[0035] The first moving shaft is a rod-shaped member that has one end fixed to the second surface 2P of the base body 2 and extends perpendicularly from the second surface 2P of the base body 2 (extending parallel to the first surface 2H). The first rotating member is provided on the outer circumference of the first rotating shaft and is a member that can rotate about the first rotating shaft as an axis. Since the lever member 3 is fixed to the first rotating member, the lever member 3 is rotatable about the first rotating shaft.

[0036] The second connecting member J2 is a member that connects the first locking member L1 and the lever member 3. The second connecting member J2 has a second pivot shaft and a second pivot member.

[0037] The second rotational shaft is fixed to the connecting end of the lever member 3 and is a rod-shaped member that extends parallel to the first rotational shaft. The second rotating member is provided on the outer circumference of the second rotating shaft and is a member that can rotate about the second rotating shaft as an axis. Since the lower end of the first locking member L1 is fixed to the second pivoting member, the first locking member L1 is rotatable about the second pivoting shaft.

[0038] The second locking member L2 is a member that can be locked to the second lip portion C2. The second locking member L2 has a protruding portion L21 and a locking portion L22. The protruding portion L21 is fixedly provided on the opposing surface 2HO of the base body 2 and (when attached to the lip channel steel 10) protrudes inward from the opening of the lip channel steel 10. The locking portion L22 is provided on the protruding portion L21 and extends from the protruding portion L21 toward the side where the second lip portion C2 is located (opposite the side where the first locking member L1 is located), and locks with the second lip portion C2.

[0039] The second locking member L2 is a member that extends in the same direction as the extension direction of the lip channel steel 10 (the z-axis direction in Figures 1 to 4) when attached to the lip channel steel 10. The second locking member L2 may have a mechanism that allows it to move in the width direction of the lip channel steel 10.

[0040] As shown in Figure 2, the first locking member L1 of the support member 1 is in its most protruding state (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the protruding state) toward the inside from the opening of the lip channel steel 10. In the protruding state, the lever member 3 rotates around the first pivot axis of the first connecting member J1, causing the upper end of the second connecting member J2, which moves upward in conjunction with the lever member 3, to come into contact with the first surface 2H of the base body 2. The first locking member L1 of the support member 1 shown in Figure 3 is in a retracted state from its protruding state (hereinafter, it may be referred to as the retracted state).

[0041] When the lever member 3 is operated to rotate around the first pivot axis of the first connecting member J1, the first locking member L1 rotates in conjunction with it and around the second pivot axis of the second connecting member J2. This operation allows the first locking member L1 to protrude and retract, and when the first locking member L1 is in the protruding state, it is inclined toward the side where the first lip portion C1 is located (opposite to the side where the second locking member L2 is located). When the first locking member L1 is in a protruding state, the lower end of the first locking member L1 (the connection point between the first locking member L1 and the second connecting member J2) is located on the opposite side of the through hole 2H1 of the base body 2 from the side where the first lip portion C1 is located (the side where the second locking member L2 is located). Therefore, the first locking member L1 is configured to be inclined toward the side where the first lip portion C1 is located (the opposite side from the side where the second locking member L2 is located).

[0042] As shown in Figure 3, with the opening of the lip channel steel 10 positioned to face the opposing surface 2HO of the first locking member L1 in the retracted state, the first locking member L1 is made to protrude as shown in Figure 2, thereby the first locking member L1 locks onto the first lip portion C1 and the second locking member L2 locks onto the second lip portion C2, making it possible to fix (attach) the support member 1 (base 2) to the lip channel steel 10.

[0043] According to the support member 1 in this embodiment, if the lip channel steel 10 extends horizontally, it can be easily attached to and removed from the lip channel steel 10 regardless of the direction the lip portion C faces (the direction the opening faces). In this disclosure, an example is given of attaching and removing the support member 1 from a lip channel steel 10 with the opening facing downwards, but the support member 1 can also be attached to and removed from a lip channel steel with the opening facing upwards or to the side.

[0044] The biasing member 4 is a member that biases the lever member 3 to maintain the protruding state of the first locking member L1. The biasing member 4 is a return spring. The biasing member 4 is provided between the lever member 3 and the first surface 2H of the base body 2. The biasing member 4 is located on the operating end side of the lever member 3, relative to the connection point with the first connecting member J1.

[0045] When the lever member 3 is operated so that the biasing member 4 is compressed, the first locking member L1 is retracted, and when the lever member 3 is operated so that the compression of the biasing member 4 is released, the first locking member L1 is extended.

[0046] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the support member 1 may have a rattle suppression member 5 to suppress rattle between the first locking member L1 and the first lip portion C1, which are in a locked state. The rattle suppression member 5 is a member having a predetermined thickness, provided on the opposing surface 2HO of the base body 2, on the side of the through hole 2H1 where the first lip portion C1 is located. By having the rattle suppression member 5, it is possible to suppress the formation of a gap between the first locking member L1, which is in a locked state and in a protruding state, and the first lip portion C1.

[0047] The support member 1 may have a rotation suppression member 6 in the first connecting member J1 that suppresses the rotation of the first rotating member about the first rotating shaft. In this embodiment, the rotation suppression member 6 is a wing bolt, and by tightening the wing bolt and bringing it into contact with the end face of the first rotating member, the frictional force prevents the first rotating member from rotating around the first rotating shaft.

[0048] Figure 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of the shelf 100 using the support member 1. The shelf 100 comprises a plurality of support members 1, lip channel steel 10, and shelf boards 20.

[0049] Although not shown in the figure, two or more of these support members 1 are attached to the lip channel steel 10, arranged horizontally.

[0050] As shown in Figure 4, when the support member 1 is attached to the lip channel steel 10 with the opening located below, the first surface 2H of the support member 1 is a substantially horizontal plane that extends substantially horizontally. The shelf 100 functions as a shelf when a shelf board is placed on the upper part of the first surface 2H of multiple support members 1 attached to the lip channel steel 10.

[0051] As shown in Figure 4, the lip channel steel 10 has a reinforcing member 13 that bridges the lip portions (first lip portion C1 and second lip portion C2) on both sides of the end face of the lip channel steel 10. This configuration improves the durability of the lip channel steel 10. The reinforcing member 13 is a plate-shaped member, with one end joined to the first lip portion C1 and the end face of the side wall 12 of the lip channel steel 10, and the other end joined to the second lip portion C2 and the end face of the side wall 12 of the lip channel steel 10.

[0052] As shown in Figures 5 to 7, the base 2 of the support member 1 has a tilt adjustment mechanism 30 (not shown in Figures 1 to 4) that can adjust the tilt angle of the mounting surface on which the object to be supported is placed. The tilt adjustment mechanism 30 includes a tilt adjustment plate 31 and a tilt adjustment member 32.

[0053] The tilt adjustment plate 31 is a member with a roughly L-shaped cross-section and an elongated shape, corresponding to the shape of the base body 2. The tilt adjustment plate 31 shown in Figure 5 is connected at one end to the base 2. The base 2 has a threaded portion (a cylindrical part with a spiral groove) on its second surface 2P for connecting to the tilt adjustment plate 31. The tilt adjustment plate 31 has a hole 31H on a surface that corresponds to the second surface 2P through which the threaded portion of the base 2 is inserted. The tilt adjustment plate 31 is fixed to the base 2 by being fastened with a nut while inserted through the threaded portion. With this configuration, the tilt adjustment plate 31 is connected to the base 2 so that it can rotate around its end as an axis.

[0054] The tilt adjustment member 32 is a member that adjusts the tilt angle of the tilt adjustment plate 31. The tilt adjustment member 32 can be positioned between the tilt adjustment plate 31 and the first surface 2H of the base body 2. The tilt adjustment member 32 shown in Figure 5 or Figure 7 is a wedge-shaped member made of resin. When the tilt adjustment plate 31 is rotated away from the base 2, the tilt adjustment member 32 is positioned between the base 2 (first surface 2H) and the inner surface of the tilt adjustment plate 31. By adjusting the position of the tilt adjustment member 32, the tilt angle of the tilt adjustment plate 31 can be adjusted. With this configuration, when the support member 1 is attached to the lip channel steel 10, the angle can be adjusted as appropriate, so that the shelf can be stably placed on the support member 1.

[0055] The support member 1 shown in Figure 6 does not have the tilt adjustment member 32, while the support member 1 shown in Figures 5 and 7 has the tilt adjustment member 32 and the tilt angle of the mounting surface is adjusted.

[0056] The base body 2 and the tilt adjustment plate 31 are made of a magnetic metal, and the tilt adjustment member 32 may have a magnet embedded in the surface that contacts the base body 2 or the tilt adjustment plate 31.

[0057] The tilt adjustment plate 31 may be longer than the base 2 when connected to the base 2.

[0058] An example of a support (first embodiment) is shown in Figures 8 to 11. As shown in Figure 9, the support 50A (lip channel steel 10) in the first embodiment is a portable support that is not fixed to the wall of a building or the like. The support 50A comprises two lip channel steel sections 10. A support member 1 is attached to each of the two lip channel steel sections 10. In other words, the support 50A comprises two support members 1. The support member 50A further comprises a main body 51 for fixing the two lip channel steel sections 10.

[0059] The main body 51 has a first part 51A, a second part 51B, and a connecting part. Part 1, 51A, is a member that extends in a substantially vertical direction. Part 2, 51B, is a member that extends approximately horizontally from Part 1. Part 1 51A and Part 2 51B are connected at a connecting section.

[0060] Each of the two lip channel steel sections 10 is fixed to the first part 51A of the main body 51 at the same height. The reinforcing member 13 of the lip channel steel 10 is joined to the first part 51A, thereby fixing the lip channel steel 10 in place. The two support members 1 attached to the two lip channel steel sections 10 are each located at the same height. The two support members 1 function as a first shelf support section 50A1 on which a shelf can be placed.

[0061] The main body 51 has a second shelf mounting section 50A2 on which a shelf board can be placed. The second shelf mounting section 50A2 is located above the two lip channel steel sections 10. The second shelf mounting section 50A2 is fixed to the first section 51A.

[0062] The main body 51 has a third shelf mounting section 50A3 on which a shelf board can be placed. The third shelf mounting section 50A3 is located below the two support members 1 attached to the two lip channel steel sections 10. The third shelf mounting section 50A3 is fixed to the second section 51B.

[0063] Figure 8 shows the state in which the shelves 20 are placed on the first shelf placement section 50A1, the second shelf placement section 50A2, and the third shelf placement section 50A3, respectively. The shelf board 20 can be placed on top of the shelf to make it usable as a shelf.

[0064] Figure 10 shows the state after the support member 1 has been removed from the lip channel steel 10. Part 1 51A and Part 2 51B are configured to be rotatable around a connecting part as an axis. Figure 11 shows the state in which the first part 51A is rotated and tilted to the side where the third shelf mounting section 50A3 is located. The main body 51 has a stopper 51S to prevent the first part 51A and the second part 51B from rotating around the connecting part as an axis. When the stopper 51S is released, the first part 51A and the second part 51B become able to rotate around the connecting part as an axis.

[0065] The third shelf mounting section 50A3 is configured to be movable in the direction in which the second section 51B extends.

[0066] An example of a support (second embodiment) is shown in Figures 12 to 14. Note that in Figures 13 and 14, the support member 1 is omitted from the illustration. In the second embodiment, the support 50B (lip channel steel 10) is a portable support that is not fixed to the wall of a building or the like. As shown in Figure 12, the support 50B can be fixed to another columnar object T1.

[0067] As shown in Figure 13, the lip channel steel 10 of the support 50B has a first fixing portion F1 that can be fixed to another column-shaped object T1. The first fixing part F1 has a first inner fixing part F1A, a first outer fixing part F1B, and two proximity adjustment parts F1C. The first inner fixing part F1A is a plate-shaped member fixed to the side surface (side wall 12) of the lip channel steel 10. The first inner fixing portion F1A is longer than the side wall 12 of the lip channel steel 10, and both ends of the first inner fixing portion F1A extend from the side wall 12.

[0068] The first outer fixing portion F1B is a plate-shaped member that corresponds to the first inner fixing portion F1A. The proximity adjustment section F1C is a member that brings the first inner fixing section F1A and the first outer fixing section F1B closer together. The proximity adjustment section F1C is located at both ends (outside the lip channel steel 10) of the first inner fixing section F1A and the first outer fixing section F1B, respectively. The first outer fixing part F1B has a recess in its central part that can accommodate the shape of another columnar object T1.

[0069] As shown in Figure 12, when a columnar object T1 is located between the first inner fixing part F1A and the first outer fixing part F1B, the support 50B is fixed to the columnar object T1 by bringing the first inner fixing part F1A and the first outer fixing part F1B closer together using the proximity adjustment part F1C. As shown in Figure 12, by fixing a support 50B to each of two or more columnar objects T1, the shelves can be used as shelves by placing shelves on two or more support 50B (support members 1).

[0070] The support member 50B' (lip channel steel 10) shown in Figure 14 is a modified example of the second embodiment shown in Figures 12 and 13. As shown in Figure 14, the lip channel steel 10 has a second fixing part F2 that can be fixed to another column-shaped object.

[0071] The second fixing part F2 includes a second inner fixing part F2A, a second outer fixing part F2B, a connecting part F2C, and a proximity adjustment part F2D. The second inner fixing part F2A is a member fixed to the side surface (side wall 12) of the lip channel steel 10. The second outer fixing part F2B is a component that corresponds to the second inner fixing part F2A. The connecting portion F2C is the part that connects the second inner fixing portion F2A and the second outer fixing portion F2B. The proximity adjustment section F2D is a component that brings the second inner fixing section F2A and the second outer fixing section F2B closer together.

[0072] The connecting portion F2C is located at one end of the second inner fixing portion F2A and the second outer fixing portion F2B. The second outer fixing part F2B is configured to be rotatable around the connecting part F2C as an axis. The proximity adjustment section F2D is located at the other end of the second inner fixing section F2A and the second outer fixing section F2B. The second inner fixing part F2A and the second outer fixing part F2B have a recess in the center that can accommodate the shape of other columnar objects.

[0073] The proximity adjustment section F2D includes a threaded section (a cylindrical component with a spiral groove) and a nut section. One end of the threaded portion is rotatably fixed to the second inner fixing portion F2A. The other end of the second outer fixing part F2B includes a groove for holding the threaded portion. With the threaded portion located inside the groove of the second outer fixing portion F2B, the second inner fixing portion F2A and the second outer fixing portion F2B can be brought into close proximity by inserting and rotating the nut portion.

[0074] An example of a support (third embodiment) is shown in Figures 15 and 16. Note that support member 1 is omitted from the illustration in Figures 15 and 16. In the third embodiment, the support 50C (lip channel steel 10) is a portable support that is not fixed to the wall of a building or the like. As shown in Figure 15, the support 50C can be fixed to another columnar object T3.

[0075] As shown in Figure 15, the support 50C comprises two lip channel steel sections 10. Although not shown in Figures 15 and 16, a support member 1 can be attached to each of the two lip channel steel sections 10. In other words, the support 50C comprises two support members 1.

[0076] The support member 50C has a connecting portion 55 that connects the two lip channel steel sections 10. The connecting portion 55 has a recessed portion 55A in which another columnar object T3 can be positioned. The recessed portion 55A is located between the two lip channel steel sections 10. The connecting portion 55 has a roughly U-shape (roughly U-shaped) including a flange portion at its end, and the inside of it is the recessed portion 55A. The two lip channel steel sections 10 are fixed to the outer surfaces of the connection section 55 in opposing positions. Each lip channel steel 10 has a reinforcing member 13 attached to the connecting portion 55, and the lip channel steel 10 is fixed to the connecting portion 55.

[0077] The support member 50C has a third fixing part F3 that can fix two lip channel steel sections 10 (connecting parts 55) to another column-shaped object T3. The third fixing part F3 is a plate-shaped member corresponding to the connecting part 55. The support member 50C has a proximity adjustment section that brings the third fixing section F3 closer to the connecting section 55. The ends of the third fixing part F3 and the flange part of the connecting part 55 can be brought into close proximity using the proximity adjustment part.

[0078] As shown in Figure 15, when another columnar object T3 is located in the recess 55A, the support 50C is fixed to the other columnar object T3 by bringing the third fixing part F3 and the connecting part 55 into close proximity.

[0079] An example of a support (fourth embodiment) is shown in Figures 17 and 18. Note that in Figure 18, the support member 1 is omitted from the illustration. In the fourth embodiment, the support 50D (lip channel steel 10) is a portable support that is not fixed to the wall of a building or the like. As shown in Figure 17, the support 50D can be fixed to another wall-shaped object T4 having a hole.

[0080] As shown in Figure 17, the lip channel steel 10 of the support 50D has a fourth fixing portion F4 that can be fixed to another wall-shaped object T4 having a hole. The fourth fixing part F4 includes a fourth inner fixing part F4A, a fourth outer fixing part F4B, and a proximity adjustment part F4C. The fourth fixing part F4 has the same structure as the first fixing part F1 in the second embodiment described above, as shown in Figures 12 and 13. The fourth fixing part F4 shown in Figure 17 has a recessed portion, similar to the first fixing part F1, but it does not need to have a recessed portion when fixing to another object T4 with a wall shape that has a hole.

[0081] The lip channel steel 10 of the support 50D has a support surface expansion member 15 that expands the upper surface of the main wall 11 of the lip channel steel 10. The upper surface of the lip channel steel 10 fixed at the fourth fixing part F4 can function as a surface for supporting the object to be supported, and its area can be expanded by the support surface expansion member 15.

[0082] The support surface extension member 15 has the same structure as the inclination adjustment plate 31 described above. The support surface expansion member 15 has its end connected to the reinforcing member 13 of the lip channel steel 10. The reinforcing member 13 of the lip channel steel 10 has a threaded portion on its outer surface for connecting to the support surface expansion member 15. The support surface expansion member 15 and the reinforcing member 13 have holes in the outer surface that correspond to the threaded portion of the lip channel steel 10 through which it is inserted. The support surface expansion member 15 is fixed to the lip channel steel 10 by being fastened with a nut while inserted through the threaded portion. The support surface extension member 15, which is fixed to the lip channel steel 10, extends beyond the lip channel steel 10.

[0083] The support surface extension member 15, like the inclination adjustment plate 31, is rotatable around its connected end as an axis. Similar to the tilt adjustment mechanism 30 described above, the support surface extension member 15 allows for the placement of a tilt adjustment member between the support surface extension member 15 and the main wall 11 of the lip channel steel 10. In other words, the tilt angle of the support surface extension member 15 is adjustable.

[0084] As shown in Figure 17, by fixing two support members 50D to another wall-shaped object T4, one shelf can be placed on each of the two lip channel steel sections 10, and one shelf can be placed on each of the two support members 1, thus enabling its use as a two-tiered shelf.

[0085] An example of a support (fifth embodiment) is shown in Figures 19 and 20. Note that in Figure 20, support member 1 is omitted from the illustration. In the fifth embodiment, the support 50E (lip channel steel 10) is a portable support that is not fixed to the wall of a building or the like. As shown in Figure 19, the support 50E can be fixed to another plate-shaped object T5 that extends approximately horizontally.

[0086] As shown in Figure 19, the lip channel steel 10 of the support 50E has a fifth fixing portion F5 that can be fixed to another plate-shaped object T5 that extends substantially horizontally. At least a portion of the fifth fixing portion F5 is located above the lip channel steel 10 and has a mechanism that allows it to be clamped onto the edge of another plate-shaped object T5 that extends substantially horizontally.

[0087] The fifth fixing part F5 includes a fifth inner fixing part F5A, a fifth outer fixing part F5B, and a proximity adjustment part F5C. The fifth inner fixing part F5A is a member that clamps the object T5 on the side (inside) where the lip channel steel 10 is located. The fifth outer fixing part F5B is a member corresponding to the fifth inner fixing part F5A, which clamps the object T5 on the side (outside) where the lip channel steel 10 is not located. The proximity adjustment section F5C is a mechanism for bringing the fifth inner fixing section F5A and the fifth outer fixing section F5B closer together.

[0088] The fifth inner fixing part F5A is a long, plate-shaped member. The fifth inner fixing portion F5A is inserted into the internal region surrounded by the wall portion (main wall 11 and side wall 12) and reinforcing member 13 that constitute the lip channel steel 10. Of the fifth inner fixing portion F5A inserted into the internal region, the extension portion F5AS extending from the lip channel steel 10 is the fifth inner clamping portion F5AS that clamps another object T5. The fifth inner fixing portion F5A is curved, and the fifth inner clamping portion F5AS may be positioned above the upper surface of the main wall 11.

[0089] The fifth outer fixing portion F5B includes a fifth outer clamping portion F5BS that clamps the object T5. The fifth outer clamping portion F5BS is located in a position corresponding to the fifth inner clamping portion F5AS.

[0090] The proximity adjustment unit F5C is connected to the fifth inner fixing unit F5A and the fifth outer fixing unit F5B. The fifth outer clamping portion F5BS has a mechanism that allows it to be moved and adjusted so that it is close to the fifth inner clamping portion F5AS. The proximity adjustment section F5C includes a threaded portion (a cylindrical component with a helical groove) and a member for rotating the threaded portion. The threaded portion is a male thread. The threaded portion is rotatably connected to the fifth inner fixing portion F5A.

[0091] The fifth outer fixing portion F5B is roughly U-shaped, and the inner surface of the upper end is the fifth outer clamping portion F5BS. The lower end of the fifth outer fixing part F5B has a hole through which the threaded portion of the proximity adjustment part F5C passes. This hole is a female thread corresponding to the male thread of the threaded portion. With this configuration, the screw portion of the proximity adjustment part F5C is rotated in a predetermined direction, causing the fifth outer fixing part F5B (fifth outer clamping part F5BS) to move closer to the fifth inner clamping part F5AS. When another plate-shaped object T5 extending substantially horizontally is located between the fifth outer clamping part F5BS and the fifth inner clamping part F5AS, the support member 50E is fixed when the fifth outer clamping part F5BS moves closer to the fifth inner clamping part F5AS.

[0092] An example of a support (sixth embodiment) shown in Figures 21 and 22 will be described. Note that support member 1 is omitted in Figures 21 and 22. In the sixth embodiment, the support 50F (lip channel steel 10) is a portable support. As shown in Figure 21, the support 50F can be fixed to the second lip channel steel T6, which is another horizontally extending lip channel steel. The second lip channel steel T6 is a non-portable member fixed to the wall of the building. In Figure 21, a portion of the second lip channel steel T6 is shown cut out for improved visibility, but in reality, the second lip channel steel T6 is even longer than shown, as it is fixed to the wall of the building.

[0093] The lip channel steel 10 of the support member 50F has a sixth fixing part F6 that can be fixed to the second lip channel steel T6. The sixth fixing part F6 has a mechanism that allows it to be fixed to the second lip channel steel T6 when the lip part T6L is facing upwards (when the opening is facing upwards).

[0094] The sixth fixing part F6 has a main body part F6A. The main body F6A is a plate-shaped member fastened to the main wall 11 of the lip channel steel 10. When fixed to the second lip channel steel T6, the main body F6A extends in the width direction of the second lip channel steel T6 (the direction in which the two lip portions T6L of the second lip channel steel T6 are arranged). The end portion F6AE of the main body F6A can enter the inside of one lip portion T6L from the width direction of the second lip channel steel T6, and in this state, the end portion F6AE comes into contact with the inner surface of the lip portion T6L.

[0095] The main body F6A includes the locking portion F6B. The locking portion F6B locks with the other lip portion T6L of the second lip channel steel T6 when the end portion F6AE is in contact with the inner surface of the lip portion T6L. The locking portion F6B is fixed to the bottom surface of the main body portion F6A and is a component that protrudes downward from the main body portion F6A. The locking portion F6B engages with the other lip portion T6L, preventing the end portion F6AE from retracting from the inside of one of the lip portions T6L.

[0096] The lip portion of the lip channel steel 10, which is fixed to the second lip channel steel T6 by the sixth fixing member F6, faces downwards (the opening faces downwards). While it is possible to directly attach the support member 1 to the second lip channel steel T6 itself, which has an opening facing upwards, the support member 50F of this embodiment is used when it is desired to attach the support member 1 to the lip channel steel 10, which has an opening facing downwards, as shown in this disclosure.

[0097] It goes without saying that the main body F6A is made of a highly rigid material because it is a member that supports the support member 1 and the lip channel steel 10, but it may also include a reinforcing part F6C to suppress deformation of the main body F6A. The reinforcing section F6C is a plate-shaped member that rises vertically from the main body section F6A.

[0098] Although the present invention has been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and improvements are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
