Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pipe protection cover and a method for protecting a resin pipe used when a resin pipe for water supply or hot water supply is provided in a wall in a dwelling unit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When pipes for water supply and hot water supply are provided in a wall in a dwelling unit, it is widely practiced to use a resin pipe as a pipe member so as to rise into a space in the wall. In this case, it is necessary to drive a nail screw at the time of finishing the wall. However, there is a disadvantage that the nail screw inadvertently penetrates the resin pipe in the wall, leading to water leakage. In view of this point, conventionally, a method of covering the entire rising portion of the resin pipe in the wall with a protection pipe of an iron pipe has been adopted.

However, in the case of this method, it is necessary to cover the resin pipe rising in the wall in advance with a protective pipe and to connect the end to the equipment joint, which is a problem that the construction is complicated. There is also a problem that the resin pipe cannot be directly fixed in the wall using a fixing member because the protective tube covers the whole.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and provides a one-touch method for a portion of a resin pipe which is set up in a wall where protection is required. Provided is a piping protection cover that can be easily and easily mounted, and a method for protecting and installing a resin pipe that can be installed using the piping protection cover without being damaged by a nail screw for wall finishing. It was made for the purpose of doing so.

[0005]

The invention according to claim 1 of the present application (invention 1) has a half-tubular shape in which at least a part of the inner surface is brought into contact with the outer surface of a resin pipe to be protected. A pipe protection cover including a protection cover main body, and a pair of resilient pressure holding pieces that hold the resin pipe are provided on both side edges of the protection cover main body so as to protrude to the side.

[0006] The invention described in claim 2 of the present application (Invention 2)
Is a method for protecting a resin pipe, in which a resin pipe is started up in a wall, and a nail screw for finishing the wall is driven into the wall.
The pipe protective cover according to claim 1 is brought into contact with at least a part of the inner surface of the protective cover main body at a portion of the resin pipe disposed at a portion where the nail screw is driven, and at the same time, against the resilient pressure holding piece. This is a method for protecting resin pipes that are attached by holding them.

In the present invention, the pipe protective cover is preferably made of a metal material such as an iron plate or a steel plate, but may be a resin material having high rigidity such as a fiber reinforced resin. The thickness of the pipe protection cover is preferably about 1 to 10 mm.
Further, the pipe protection cover may be one in which the protection cover and the resilient pressure holding plate are formed integrally, or may be one in which the two are formed separately.

[0008]

The pipe protection cover according to the first aspect of the present invention comprises a half-tubular protection cover body in which at least a part of the inner surface is in contact with the outer surface of the resin pipe to be protected. A pair of elastic pressure holding pieces for holding the resin pipe are provided so as to protrude to the side, so that the screw is raised in the wall and is fixed by a fixing member. It can be easily mounted later on by using a one-touch method on a portion provided at the portion where the is driven.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for protecting a resin pipe according to the present invention, wherein the pipe protecting cover of the present invention is provided at least on the inner surface of the protective cover main body at a portion of the resin pipe provided at a portion into which a nail screw is driven. By attaching and holding the part with the resilient holding piece, the nail screw for wall finishing hits the pipe protection cover and is driven so as to avoid it without penetrating, The resin pipe is protected by the pipe protection cover and is not damaged.

[0010]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described by way of embodiments with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of the pipe protection cover of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a state where the pipe protection cover shown in FIG. 1 is attached to a resin pipe.

As shown in FIG. 1, this pipe protection cover 1
Is a resin pipe 2 which is made of a steel plate and is to be protected.
And a half-split cylindrical protective cover body 11 in which at least a part of the inner surface is in contact with the outer surface of the main body. A pair of elastic holding pieces 12 for holding the resin pipe 2 are provided on both side edges of the protective cover main body 11 so as to protrude to the side. The space between the pair of elastic holding pieces 12, 12 is formed to have a portion smaller than the outer diameter of the resin pipe 2.

Next, using the pipe protection cover shown in FIG.
An example of the method for protecting and executing a resin pipe according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, in this resin pipe protection construction method, first, the resin pipe 2 is started up along one wall panel 31 of the wall 3, and the upper end thereof is connected to the faucet joint 4. . An intermediate portion of the resin pipe 2 in the wall 3 is fixed to one wall panel 31 by a fixing member (not shown).

Thereafter, the pipe protection cover 1 shown in FIG. 1 is attached to at least one of the inner surfaces of the protection cover main body 11 on a portion of the resin pipe 2 in the wall 3 where the nail screw is driven into the crosspiece 32 into which the nail screw is driven. The parts are brought into contact with each other and attached so as to be held by the elastic pressure holding pieces 12 and 12. Thereafter, the other wall panel 31 is installed with the crosspiece 3 interposed therebetween, and the nail screw 5 for wall finishing is driven into the portion of the wall 3 where the crosspiece 32 is mounted from the other wall panel 31 side.

Thus, the nail screw 5 is connected to the pipe protection cover 1.
In this case, the resin pipe 2 is driven in such a way as to avoid it from penetrating, so that the resin pipe 2 is protected by the pipe protection cover 1 and is not damaged, so that the resin pipe 2 can be protected inside the wall 3.

[0015]

Since the pipe protection cover of the present invention has the above-described structure, it can be applied to a portion of the resin pipe which is set up in the wall where protection is required by a one-touch method after the pipe is protected. Can be easily mounted.

Since the method for protecting resin pipes according to the present invention is constructed as described above, the resin pipes can be installed in the wall without being damaged by nail screws for finishing the wall. .
