2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as such a long-body support,
As shown in FIG. 10, the locking portion K includes a hook-shaped portion L, and the locked portion 5 b An insertion hole H1 into which the locking portion K can be inserted, and a slide hole H2 (smaller than the insertion hole H1) which can slide the locking portion K inserted into the insertion hole H1 in a direction intersecting the insertion direction. Width) and the locking portion K slid along the slide hole H2.
There is a configuration provided with a pair of engagement holes H3 into which the locking portion K can be freely engaged by reversing the insertion direction. Further, the hook-shaped portion L of the locking portion K will be described in more detail. A wide portion 6a corresponding to the width dimension of the insertion hole portion H1 is provided, and the slide hole portion H2 is provided on the base end side of the wide portion 6a. A narrow width portion 6b corresponding to the width dimension is provided, and projections 6c which are individually fittable into the pair of engagement holes H3 are provided at rear ends on both sides of the wide width portion 6a. . Then, in order to support the elongated body with the support fitting, the lid 6 is swung in the closing direction in a state where the elongated body is placed on the support portion 4, and the tip portion is inserted into the insertion hole portion. H

By fitting into the H3 (referred to as an engagement stage), the elongated body can be supported in a surrounding state.

[0003]

According to the above-described conventional elongated body support, the width of the wide portion 6a and the insertion hole H1, and the width of the narrow portion 6b and the slide hole H2 are substantially the same. By setting the dimensions, they are in contact with each other and the mutual positions are determined, and in the inserting step and the sliding step, the locking part and the locked part can be prevented from being laterally shifted, but from the insertion step. When moving to the sliding stage (or moving from the sliding stage to the insertion stage due to the release of the lock), it is difficult to restrict mutual lateral displacement, and a series of locking operations (or locking) of the locking portion Release operation) may not be performed smoothly. This is because when the locking operation (or the unlocking operation) is performed while visually confirming the positional relationship between the locking portion and the locked portion, the locking portion and the locked portion are appropriately positioned. Although it is difficult to cause problems because it can be operated while adjusting to, for example, in the case of overhead operation or in a narrow operating environment, it is difficult to visually confirm, so it is impossible to perform mutual alignment, and long This can be a major obstacle to body support.

An operation unit 31 is provided, the longitudinal direction of which is along the direction intersecting the swing direction of the lid 6. Specifically, the lid 6 is made of a sheet metal, and the operation unit 31 is cut and raised from the lid 6. Then, the operation unit 31
As shown in the figure, the front end of the lid 6 protrudes toward the surface of the vertical wall portion, and is provided in a state in which it is further away from the vertical wall portion upward (inclined at an angle of about 50 degrees with the vertical wall portion). . Therefore, with the front and back surfaces of the operation unit 31 being pinched,
When the lid portion 6 is rocked and the locking portion K is locked or unlocked with the lid engaging portion, the vector component of the operating force is always applied to the front and back surfaces of the operating portion 31. It is possible to act vertically, and it is easy to put effort on any operation. As a result, while the air-conditioning pipe 1 is supported by the support fitting R attached to the suspension bolt 2, the operation unit 31 is gripped and the lid 6 is held while the air-conditioning pipe 1 is placed on the support unit 4. It is swung in the closing direction, and its tip is inserted into the first hole H1, and is slid downward along the second hole H2 when all of the wide portion 6a has passed (referred to as an insertion stage) ( A series of operations for supporting the air-conditioning pipe 1 in a state surrounding the air-conditioning pipe 1 can be easily and quickly performed by fitting the projection 6c into the third hole H3 while pulling back the same (referred to as an engagement step). Can be implemented.
And not only the pipe support work in the normal working environment,

In addition, a bent piece 32 cut and raised toward the front side is provided at both ends of the vertical wall portion at the front end of the lid 6.
Are provided respectively. The bent piece portion 32 is attached to the mounting portion at the time of shifting from the inserting stage to the sliding stage in the locking operation of the lid portion 6 or at the time of shifting from the sliding stage to the inserting stage in releasing the locking of the lid portion 6. Since each slides separately into the left and right cutouts 5c of the locking portion 5, an appropriate positional relationship between the locking portion K and the lid engaging portion 5b can be ensured. In the inserting step, the left and right edges of the first hole H1 and the left and right edges of the wide portion 6a are in sliding contact with each other, thereby preventing the lateral displacement between the locking portion K and the lid engaging portion 5b. In the sliding stage and the engaging stage, the left and right edges of the second hole H2 and the left and right edges of the narrow portion 6b are in sliding contact with each other, so that the locking portion K and the lid engaging portion 5b can move in the horizontal direction. Misalignment can be prevented. As described above, the first hole H1, the wide portion 6a, the second hole H2, the narrow portion 6b,
The bent piece portion 32 and the notch portion 5c make it possible to secure an appropriate relative position between the locking portion K and the lid engaging portion 5b in the attaching / detaching operation of the lid portion. These are collectively referred to as guidance means F (see FIG. 2).

Referring to the leaf spring member 8, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a first surface portion 8a fixed to one side wall portion of the mounting locking portion 5 and a mounting surface of the mounting locking portion 5 are formed. A second surface portion 8b inscribed in the upper surface portion and a third surface portion 8c arranged to protrude into a space into which the hanging bolt 2 enters are integrally provided. An elongated hole 10 into which the suspension bolt 2 can enter is formed in the second surface portion 8b similarly to the attachment locking portion 5. However, of the peripheral portion of the elongated hole 10, the peripheral portion on the first surface side is formed in a straight line, and is formed in a locking claw portion 11 which can be locked in the screw groove 2 a of the hanging bolt 2. It is. Further, as shown in the figure, the third surface portion 8c

A locking claw portion 11 that can be locked to the thread groove 2a of the suspension bolt 2 is formed in the bottom portion of the cutout portion 12 by linear processing similarly to the second surface portion 8b. Therefore, both locking claw portions 11 are separately arranged on both sides of the space for entering the hanging bolt 2, respectively.
The suspension bolts 2 are formed so as to be individually lockable in the screw grooves 2a on both sides. In addition, as the suspension bolts 2 enter the receiving portion 7, the third surface portion 8 c can allow the entrance while elastically deforming, and the suspension bolts 2 entering the receiving portion 7 can be allowed. The two locking claws 11 are screwed into the thread groove 2a when the
By resisting the direction of digging into the hole, it is possible to prevent the escape. The locking claw 11 is provided to be inclined so as to follow the spiral shape of the screw 2a. Incidentally, since the third surface portion 8c of the leaf spring member 8 is provided in an inclined state, it becomes possible to apply an urging force to push back the wide portion 6a of the lid portion 6 inserted into the receiving portion 7 while pushing down. By simply inserting the wide portion 6a into the first hole H1, the urging action of the leaf spring member 8 can guide the protrusion 6c to the engagement lock state in which the protrusion 6c fits into the third hole H3. Thus, it is possible to speed up and simplify the lid engagement operation. On the other hand, in the engagement locked state of the lid 6, it is possible to maintain a state in which the third surface portion 8c of the leaf spring member 8 is pressed against the suspension bolt 2 by the wide portion 6a. As a result, the engaging claw portion 11 of the third surface portion 8c is turned into the thread groove 2a of the suspension bolt 2.
And the suspension bolt 2 can be maintained in the state of being prevented from coming off. The wide portion 6a forms a lock mechanism.

The sheet metal member 23 is, as shown in FIG.
It has a U-shaped cross section and is arranged inside the leaf spring member 8. As described above, the attachment to the support body 3 is performed in such a manner that the first surface portion 8a of the leaf spring member 8 is sandwiched between the U-shaped side portion and the attachment locking portion 5. The sheet metal member 23 has a receiving portion 7 on a part of its side wall.
A projecting portion 23a projecting to the side is formed, and the side surface of the suspension bolt 2 is supported by the projecting portion 23a, so that the mounting posture of the support fitting R can be stabilized. And, in the upper side of the U-shape of the sheet metal member 23,
A notch through which the suspension bolt 2 can be inserted is formed, and the second surface portion 8 b of the leaf spring member 8 is formed so as to be sandwiched between the mounting and locking portion 5. Also, the lower side of the U-shape is located on the extension of the suspension bolt 2, and the suspension bolt 2
