Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、例えばガスの使用量を計測するためのガスメータを家屋等の壁部に沿って取り付け固定するためのメータ取付金具に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術及び発明が解決しようとする課題】
例えば、ガスの使用量を計測するためのガスメータに垂設される左右一対の配管を家屋の壁面に対して固定するためのガスメータ取付金具として、図１に示すように、基体２４に壁面取付部２５をスライド調整固定機構２６を介してスライド調整固定自在に設けて、このスライド調整固定により前記基体２４と壁面との距離を調整自在に構成し、このスライド調整固定機構２６は、前記壁面取付部２５にスライド調整用の長窓状取付孔２７を設け、この長窓状取付孔２７を介して締付ボルト３２で螺着することで前記基体２４に前記壁面取付部２５をスライド調整自在に固定し得るように構成し、前記左右一対の配管を抱持する抱持部２８Ａを有する固定部２８を前記基体２４に螺着したガスメータ取付金具がある。
【０００３】
具体的には、このガスメータ取付金具は、壁面取付部２５の一カ所に長窓状取付孔２７を設けてこの長窓状取付孔２７に締付ボルト３２を螺着してこの一本の締付ボルト３２で基体２４に壁面取付部２５を固定せず、壁面取付部２５の左右部に夫々長窓状取付孔２７を設けてこの長窓状取付孔２７に夫々締付ボルト３２を螺着して左右二本の締付ボルト３２により基体２４に壁面取付部２５を固定した構成としている。
【０００４】
即ち、これは、基体２４と壁面取付部２５とを一本の締付ボルト３２だけで固定するのでは、回動方向（板面方向）への固定強度が弱いためである。
【０００５】
また、この締付ボルト３２を緩めて基体２４又は壁面取付部２５をスライド調整移動させる際には、この基体２４と壁面取付部２５には回動方向（板面方向）への規制がないために常に向きが定まらず、これにより、壁面取付部２５に対して基体２４を真っすぐ離反又は近接する方向にスライド調整移動しづらく、作業性が悪いためである。
【０００６】
そのため、前述のように、従来はガスメータ取付金具の基体２４と壁面取付部２５とを、壁面取付部２５の左右部に設けた長窓状取付孔２７の夫々に締付ボルト３２を挿通して基体２４に螺着することで、基体２４に壁面取付部２５を左右二本の締付ボルト３２で取り付けて回動方向への固定強度を強化している。
【０００７】
また、左右二本の締め付けボルト３２で基体４に壁面取付部５を螺着固定することで、回動方向への移動を規制し、これにより、スライド時に基体２４又は壁面取付部２５の向きを一定の向き、即ち、壁面から真っすぐ離反又は近接する向きに向けてスライド調整移動できるようにしている。
【０００８】
しかしながら、従来のガスメータ取付金具は、基体２４と壁面取付部２５とを固定するためにいちいち二本の締付ボルト３２を順次締め付け螺着しなければならず、基体２４への壁面取付部２５の取り付けが面倒となる問題点を有する。
【０００９】
また、壁面取付部２５（壁面）に対して基体２４をスライド調整する際には、いちいち螺着した締付ボルト３２を順次緩めて基体２４をスライド調整移動させ、所望する位置で再び前記左右の締付ボルト３２をいちいち順次締め付け螺着して固定しなければならず、よって、スライド調整もまた面倒であるという問題点を有する。
【００１０】
更に、このスライド調整移動の際には、壁面取付部２５の左右部の長窓状取付孔２７に挿通した夫々の締付ボルト３２は緩められた状態となっているために、基体２４又は壁面取付部２５が、従来ほどではないが締付ボルト３２の回動方向に向いてしまい易く、これにより、未だ施工に手間がかかる問題点を有する。
【００１１】
一方、このガスメータ取付金具は、左右一対の配管を取り付ける際に、基体２４に固定部２８を固定する締付ボルト３０を前記基体２４から完全に取り外して基体２４から固定部２８を取り外し、この取り外した固定部２８と基体２４との間に左右一対の配管を配し、再び、基体２４に固定部２８を締付ボルト３０で螺着しなければならない。
【００１２】
そのため、通常、製造メーカーから基体２４，壁面取付部２５及び固定部２８がボルト止めされた状態で出荷されてくる従来のガスメータ取付金具を現場で使用する際には、基体２４から締付ボルト３０をいちいち完全に取り外して基体２４から固定部２８を取り外し、ガスメータの左右一対の配管を基体２４の側面に当接した後に再び固定部２８をこの左右一対の配管を介して締付ボルト３０で基体２４に螺着固定しなければならず、この点においても施工に手間がかかる問題点を有する。
【００１３】
本発明は、壁面取付部若しくは基体の縁部のスライド調整移動をガイドするためのスライドガイド部を前記基体若しくは壁面取付部に突設すると共に、前記基体若しくは壁面取付部の一カ所に長窓状取付孔を設けることで、基体と壁面取付部とを一本の締付ボルトで固定した構成とし、この一本の締付ボルトを緩めたり締め付け螺着したりするだけで、基体と壁面取付部とが真っすぐ離反又は近接する方向にスライド調整移動することができるため作業性に秀れ、しかも、基体と壁面取付部とを締付ボルトで固定した際には、この締付ボルトによる締め付け作用とスライドガイド部による回動方向（板面方向）への規制とにより、著しく固定強度を向上させることができる実用性に秀れたメータ取付金具を提供することを目的としている。
【００１４】
また、更に、左右一対の配管を抱持状態で固定する固定部に、この固定部を基体に取り付けるボルトを挿通するための切り欠き孔を形成することで、基体に螺着したボルトをこの基体から取り外すことなく単に緩めるだけで、この切り欠き孔の開口部を介して前記ボルトを離脱させて基体から固定部を取り外すことができる作業性に秀れ実用性に秀れたメータ取付金具を提供することを目的としている。
【００１５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
添付図面を参照して本発明の要旨を説明する。
【００１６】
計測メータ１の左右一対の配管２を壁面３に対して固定するメータ取付金具であって、基体４に壁面取付部５をスライド調整固定機構６を介してスライド調整固定自在に設けて、このスライド調整固定により前記基体４と壁面３との距離を調整自在に構成し、このスライド調整固定機構６は、前記基体４若しくは前記壁面取付部５にスライド調整用の長窓状取付孔７を設け、この長窓状取付孔７を介して締付ボルト１２で螺着することで前記基体４に前記壁面取付部５をスライド調整自在に固定し得るように構成し、前記左右一対の配管２を抱持する抱持部８Ａを有する固定部８を前記基体４に螺着したメータ取付金具において、前記基体４若しくは前記壁面取付部５の左右部に夫々前記長窓状取付孔７を設けてこの長窓状取付孔７に夫々前記締付ボルト１２を螺着して基体４に壁面取付部５を固定せず、前記基体４若しくは前記壁面取付部５の一カ所に長窓状取付孔７を設け、この長窓状取付孔７を介して前記締付ボルト１２により基体４と壁面取付部５とを螺着してこの基体４に壁面取付部５をスライド調整自在に固定し得るように前記スライド調整固定機構６を構成すると共に、この壁面取付部５若しくは基体４の縁部の前記スライド調整移動をガイドするためのスライドガイド部９を前記基体４若しくは壁面取付部５に突設したことを特徴とするメータ取付金具に係るものである。
【００１７】
また、前記固定部８に、この固定部８を基体４に螺着固定する締付ボルト１０を挿通するための切り欠き孔１１を設け、この切り欠き孔１１を介して前記固定部８を基体４に螺着固定した前記締付ボルト１０を緩めることで、この締付ボルト１０を前記基体４から取り外すことなく、前記切り欠き孔１１の開口部を介して前記締付ボルト１０から離脱させて、前記基体４から前記固定部８を取り外せるように構成したことを特徴とする請求項１記載のメータ取付金具に係るものである。
【００１８】
また、前記スライドガイド部９は、前記基体４の前記壁面取付部５の取付面左右に突出形成し、この基体４に前記壁面取付部５を重合して前記スライド調整固定機構６によりスライド調整固定する際、この壁面取付部５の左右縁部に被嵌係合状態に配設されてこの壁面取付部５の基体４に対する前記スライド調整移動をガイドし得るように構成したことを特徴とする請求項１，２のいずれか１項に記載のメータ取付金具に係るものである。
【００１９】
また、前記スライドガイド部９は、前記基体４に前記壁面取付部５を前記スライド調整固定機構６によりスライド調整自在に固定した際の壁面取付部５の左右縁部に位置する基体４の所定部位を、この基体４に対して所定高さ切り起こすことで形成したことを特徴とする請求項３記載のメータ取付金具に係るものである。
【００２０】
また、前記スライドガイド部９は壁面取付部５の縁部の板面方向の位置ずれ移動を規制する立ち上がり部９Ａと壁面取付部５の縁部の板面上方への浮き上がり移動を規制する覆い部９Ｂとから成る鉤状若しくはアングル状に形成したことを特徴とする請求項３，４のいずれか１項に記載のメータ取付金具に係るものである。
【００２１】
【発明の実施の形態】
好適と考える本発明の実施の形態（発明をどのように実施するか）を、図面に基づいてその作用効果を示して簡単に説明する。
【００２２】
基体４若しくは壁面取付部５の一カ所に設けた長窓状取付孔７を介して基体４に壁面取付部５を螺着固定した一本の締付ボルト１２を緩めると、前記基体４又は壁面取付部５が前記壁面取付部５若しくは基体４に突設したスライドガイド部９に沿ってスライド移動し、前記締付ボルト１２を締め付け螺着することで基体４と壁面取付部５とを所定位置で固定できることとなる。
【００２３】
即ち、基体４と壁面取付部５とを固定する一本の締付ボルト１２を緩めたり締め付け螺着したりするだけで、基体４と壁面取付部５とを所定位置でスライド調整自在に固定することができる。
【００２４】
また、この際、基体４若しくは壁面取付部５の縁部が、スライドガイド部９によりガイドされつつスライド調整移動するため、スライド時に基体４又は壁面取付部５が回動して傾いてしまうことはない。
【００２５】
また、前記長窓状取付孔７を介して締付ボルト１２を螺着して基体４に壁面取付部５をスライド調整自在に固定した際には、この基体４と壁面取付部５とは締付ボルト１２の締め付け作用により確固に固定されることに加え、スライドガイド部９がスライド移動方向以外の方向への移動を阻止するため前記締付ボルト１２の締め付け作用を良好に保持できることとなる。
【００２６】
従って、本発明は、基体４と壁面取付部５とを螺着固定する一本の締付ボルト１２を単に緩めたり締め付け螺着したりするだけで、基体４又は壁面取付部５を良好にスライド調整して所定位置で作業性良く簡単に固定することができ、しかも、従来に比して秀れた固定強度を発揮することができる。
【００２７】
また、例えば、前記固定部８に、この固定部を基体４に螺着固定する締付ボルト１０を挿通するための切り欠き孔１１を設ければ、この切り欠き孔１１を介して前記固定部８を基体４に螺着固定した前記締付ボルト１０を緩めるだけで、この締付ボルト１０を前記基体４から取り外すことなく、前記切り欠き孔部１１の開口部を介して前記締付ボルト１０から固定部８を離脱させて前記基体４から前記固定部８を取り外せることとなり、これにより、製造メーカーから基体４，壁面取付部５及び固定部８が締付ボルト１２，１０により螺着された状態で出荷されてきても、使用時に、基体４に固定部８を螺着固定する締付ボルト１２を緩めるだけで、基体４から固定部８を取り外して左右一対の配管２を取り付けできることとなるなど、一層実用的となる。
【００２８】
また、前記スライドガイド部９は、前記基体４の前記壁面取付部５の取付面左右に突出形成し、この基体４に前記壁面取付部５を重合して前記スライド調整固定機構６により取り付けた際、この壁面取付部５の左右縁部に係合しスライドガイドし得るように構成すれば、スライド時に基体４又は壁面取付部５が締付ボルト８の回動方向へ向いてしまうことを阻止して基体４の縁部へのより良好なスライド調整移動を行えることとなるなど、一層実用的となる。
【００２９】
また、例えば、前記スライドガイド部９は、前記壁面取付部５の左右縁部に位置する基体４の所定部位を、この基体４に対して所定高さ切り起こすことで形成する構成とすれば、前記基体４の所定部位をプレス加工等により、単に押圧して切り起こすだけで形成できるため、容易に形成して秀れた量産性を発揮できることとなるなど、一層実用的となる。
【００３０】
また、例えば、前記スライドガイド部９は壁面取付部５の縁部の板面方向の位置ずれ移動を規制する立ち上がり部９Ａと壁面取付部５の縁部の板面上方への浮き上がり移動を規制する覆い部９Ｂとから成る鉤状若しくはアングル状に形成した構成とすれば、基体４と壁面取付部５のスライド調整移動方向以外の方向への移動、即ち、位置ずれを阻止できるため、基体４と壁面取付部５とを一層良好にスライド調整移動することができ、また、スライドガイド部９は形成容易な鉤状若しくはアングル状であるため、プレス加工等により、一層容易に形成できることとなるなど、一層実用的となる。
【００３１】
【実施例】
図面は本発明の一実施例を図示したものであり、以下に説明する。
【００３２】
本実施例は、計測メータ１としてガスメータ１を採用し、このガスメータ１に垂設される左右一対の配管２を壁面３に対して固定するメータ取付金具であって、基体４に壁面取付部５をスライド調整固定機構６を介してスライド調整固定自在に設けて、このスライド調整固定により前記基体４と壁面３との距離を調整自在に構成し、このスライド調整固定機構６は、前記壁面取付部５にスライド調整用の長窓状取付孔７を一カ所設け、この長窓状取付孔７を介して締付ボルト１２で螺着することで前記基体４に前記壁面取付部５をスライド調整自在に固定し得るように構成し、前記左右一対の配管２を抱持する抱持部８Ａを有する固定部８を前記基体４の側面部４Ｂに螺着した構成としている。
【００３３】
基体４は、図２，図３に示したように、アングル状に形成している。尚、この基体４の一側面を上面部４Ａとし、他側面を側面部４Ｂとする。これにより、壁面３に沿って配設されるガスメータの左右一対の配管２を固定するための固定部８と、基体４を壁面にスライド調整自在に取り付けるための壁面取付部５とを基体４を介して最適な角度で取り付けることができる。
【００３４】
基体４の上面部４Ａには、この基体４を家屋の壁面３に取り付けるための壁面取付部５をスライド調整固定機構６によりスライド調整自在に螺着固定した構成としている。
【００３５】
壁面取付部５は、略垂直方向に立ち上がる立ち上がり部５Ａとこの立ち上がり部５Ａに対して水平方向に延設された底面部５Ｂとにより断面Ｌ字状に形成した構成としている。
【００３６】
また、この壁面取付部５の底面部５Ｂの略中央位置には、この底面部５Ｂの延設方向に長窓状取付孔７となる長窓孔を形成している。尚、本実施例における長窓状取付孔７の長窓状とは、長窓孔だけを示すものではなく、壁面取付部５の底面部５Ｂの先端を切り欠いて形成される切り欠き孔も含まれるものである。
【００３７】
スライド調整固定機構６について述べれば、壁面取付部５の底面部５Ｂに設けた長窓状取付孔７を介して基体４の上面部４Ｂに、前記壁面取付部５の立ち上がり部５Ａが基体４の側面部４Ｂとは逆方向に向いた状態で締付ボルト１２を螺着することで、基体４に壁面取付部５をスライド調整自在に固定し得るように構成している。
【００３８】
即ち、基体４に壁面取取付部５を固定した締付ボルト８を緩めた際に、長窓状取付孔７をガイドとしてこの長窓状取付孔７の開口方向に、開口長さ分スライド調整移動できる構成としている。
【００３９】
言い換えれば、基体４の長さ方向に対して略直交方向に基体４又は壁面取付部５がスライド調整移動する構成としている。
【００４０】
基体４には、この基体４の縁部のスライド調整移動をガイドするためのスライドガイド部９を突設した構成としている。
【００４１】
このスライドガイド部９は、基体４の壁面取付部５の取付面左右に突出形成し、この基体４に壁面取付部５を重合して前述したスライド調整固定機構６によりスライド調整固定する際、この壁面取付部５の左右縁部に被嵌係合状態に配設されてこの壁面取付部５の基体４に対するスライド調整移動をガイドし得るように構成している。
【００４２】
具体的には、スライドガイド部９は、基体４に壁面取付部５をスライド調整固定機構６によりスライド調整自在に固定した際の壁面取付部５の左右縁部に位置する基体４の所定部位を、この基体４に対して所定高さ切り起こすことで形成している。
【００４３】
更に具体的には、スライドガイド部９は壁面取付部５の縁部の板面方向の位置ずれ移動を規制する立ち上がり部９Ａと壁面取付部５の縁部の板面上方への浮き上がり移動を規制する覆い部９Ｂとから成るアングル状に形成している。尚、本実施例ではスライドガイド部９をアングル状に形成した構成としたが、鉤状に形成しても良く、この場合には鉤状のスライドガイド部を壁面取付部のスライド移動方向に複数並設することで前記壁面取付部の良好なスライド調整移動を実現できる。
【００４４】
即ち、このスライドガイド部９は、基体４に重合させた壁面取付部５の左右縁部に位置するこの基体４部位を基端部とし、この基端部から基体４の中央部に向けて所定長さ離れた部位までをプレス等によりアングル状に切り起こすことで形成している。
【００４５】
更に述べれば、立ち上がり部９Ａは壁面取付部５の厚さ分切り起こした構成とし、覆い部９Ｂは壁面取付部５が板面上方へ浮き上がり移動を規制し得る長さに壁面取付部５の左右縁部位上に被嵌状態に配設した構成としている。
【００４６】
これにより、スライドガイド部９が基体４の長さ方向と略直交する方向以外への壁面取付部５の移動を良好に規制するため、壁面取付部５を基体４に対して真っすぐ離反又は近接する方向にスライド調整移動させることができ、よって、壁面取付部５を基体４に締付ボルト１２一本だけで良好にスライド調整自在に固定することができる。また、スライドガイド部９は、プレス等により基体４の前述した部位をアングル状に切り起こし成形するだけで形成できるため、簡易に製造でき秀れた量産性を発揮することができる。
【００４７】
即ち、基体４に螺着した締付ボルト１２を緩め基体４を壁面取付部５（壁面３）に対して引動すると、この基体４は左右縁部をスライドガイド部９により壁面取付部５に対して真っすぐ離反する方向にガイドされながらスライド調整移動する。そして、所望位置において締付ボルト１２を締め付け螺着することで、基体４に壁面取付部５を固定できることとなる。
【００４８】
固定部８は帯状板体の左右端部にガスメータ１の左右一対の配管２を抱持するための抱持部８Ａを設けて形成した構成としている。
【００４９】
具体的には、図２，図３に示したように、この抱持部８Ａは、左右一対の配管２の所定部位を被嵌状態で抱持し得る平面視半円弧状に形成した構成としている。即ち、基体４に固定部８を締付ボルト１０により固定した際、この基体４の側面部４Ｂと固定部８の抱持部８Ａとの間にガスメータ１の左右一対の配管２を挟持状態で締め付け固定する構成としている。これにより、左右一対の配管２を抱持部８Ａで抱持しつつ基体４の側面部４Ｂで当接して締め付け保持するため、位置ずれすることなく良好に締め付け固定することができる。
【００５０】
また、固定部８には、この固定部８を基体４に螺着固定する締付ボルト１０を挿通するための切り欠き孔１１を設けた構成としている。
【００５１】
この切り欠き孔１１は、図２，図３に示したように、固定部８の抱持部８Ａ近傍に、断面略逆Ｕ字状に形成した構成としている。これにより、基体４に固定部８を螺着する締付ボルト１０を、この締付ボルト１０の頭部と基体４の側面部４Ｂとの間に固定部８の板厚分以上の隙間が生じるまで緩めることで、固定部８が基体４から離脱可能な状態として切り欠き孔１１の開口部から締付ボルト１０を離脱させ基体４から固定部８を取り外すことができる。よって、左右一対の配管２を取付金具に取り付ける際には、壁面３に壁面取付部５を固定した後、前述のように、固定部８を基体４に固定した締付ボルト１０を緩めて固定部８を取り外し（或いは壁面３に壁面取付部５を固定する前に基体４から固定部８を取り外し）、基体４をスライド調整移動して基体４の側面部４Ｂを左右一対の配管２に当接し、この状態において、基体４と配管２との当接部位よりも上方の配管２部位に、固定部８の抱持部８Ａを当接させてそのまま下方へスライドさせて切り欠き孔１１に基体４に螺入した締付ボルト１０を挿入係止し、この締付ボルト１０を再び締め付け螺着することで、左右一対の配管２を基体４と固定部８とにより挟持状態で固定することができる。尚、図中符号１５は、壁面取付部５を家屋等の壁面に固定するためのボルト１６を挿通するための挿通孔である。
【００５２】
従って、本実施例は、基体４と壁面取付部５とを固定する一本の締付ボルト１２を緩めたり締め付け螺着したりするだけで、基体４と壁面取付部５とが真っすぐに離反又は近接する方向、即ち前後方向に良好にスライド調整することができ、しかも、締付ボルト１２を締め付け螺着した際には、壁面取付部５は基体４に締付ボルト１２の締め付け作用に加えてスライドガイド部９による回動方向（板面方向）への移動を規制する作用により著しい固定強度を発揮することができる。
【００５３】
また、基体４への壁面取付部５の取り付けは、従来のように（図１参照）、長窓状取付孔２７と基体２４の上面部に形成した締付ボルト３２を螺入するための螺子孔（図示省略）とが連通するように壁面取付部２５と基体２４とを位置ぎめしてから締付ボルト３２を螺着するのではなく、壁面取付部５の底面部５Ｂの左右縁部をスライドガイド部９に単に挿入し（この時点で既に長窓状取付孔７と上面部位４Ａの図示省略の前記螺子孔は連通状態となる）、締付ボルト１２を、長窓状取付孔７を介して基体４に螺着するだけで行うことができ、また、基体４への固定部８の取り付けにおいても、従来のように、固定部２８の挿通孔（図示省略）と基体２４の側面部に形成した締付ボルト３０を挿通するための螺子孔（図示省略）とが連通するように固定部２８と基体２４とを位置ぎめして締付ボルト３０を螺着せずとも、固定部８を固定する前に、基体４に予め締付ボルト１２を螺入し、続いて固定部８をスライドさせて切り欠き孔１１に締付ボルト１２を挿入係止した後締め付け螺着するだけで固定することができるため、製造メーカーの作業効率も向上する秀れたメータ取付金具となる。
【００５４】
尚、本実施例では、長窓状取付孔７を壁面取付部５に設け、スライドガイド部９を基体４に設けた構成としたが、長窓状取付孔７を基体４に設け、スライドガイド部９を壁面取付部５に突設した構成としてもよい。
【００５５】

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a meter mounting bracket for mounting and fixing, for example, a gas meter for measuring gas usage along a wall of a house or the like.
[0002]
Problems to be solved by the prior art and the invention
For example, as shown in FIG. 1, as a gas meter mounting bracket for fixing a pair of left and right pipes vertically installed on a gas meter for measuring gas usage to a wall surface of a house, a wall mounting portion is provided on the base 24. The slide adjusting and fixing mechanism 26 is provided so as to be free to slide and fix via a slide adjusting and fixing mechanism 26, and the distance between the base 24 and the wall surface can be freely adjusted by the slide adjusting and fixing mechanism. 25 is provided with a long window-shaped mounting hole 27 for slide adjustment, and the wall mounting portion 25 is slidably fixed to the base 24 by screwing with a fastening bolt 32 through the long window-shaped mounting hole 27. There is a gas meter mounting bracket in which a fixing portion 28 having a holding portion 28A for holding the pair of left and right pipes is screwed to the base 24.
[0003]
More specifically, this gas meter mounting bracket is provided with a long window-shaped mounting hole 27 at one location on the wall surface mounting portion 25, and a fastening bolt 32 is screwed into the long window-shaped mounting hole 27 to secure the single screw. Instead of fixing the wall mounting portion 25 to the base 24 with the attached bolts 32, long window-shaped mounting holes 27 are provided on the left and right portions of the wall mounting portion 25, respectively, and the fastening bolts 32 are screwed into the long window-shaped mounting holes 27, respectively. Then, the wall mounting portion 25 is fixed to the base 24 by two fastening bolts 32 on the left and right.
[0004]
That is, if the base 24 and the wall mounting portion 25 are fixed with only one tightening bolt 32, the fixing strength in the rotation direction (plate surface direction) is weak.
[0005]
Further, when the tightening bolt 32 is loosened to slide and move the base 24 or the wall-mounting portion 25, the base 24 and the wall-mounting portion 25 are not regulated in the turning direction (plate surface direction). This is because the orientation is not always determined, and as a result, it is difficult to slide and move the base body 24 in a direction in which the base body 24 is separated or approached straight from the wall surface mounting part 25, and the workability is poor.
[0006]
Therefore, as described above, conventionally, the fastening bolt 32 is inserted through the base 24 of the gas meter mounting bracket and the wall mounting portion 25 into the long window-shaped mounting holes 27 provided on the left and right portions of the wall mounting portion 25, respectively. By screwing to the base 24, the wall mounting portion 25 is mounted to the base 24 with two right and left fastening bolts 32 to enhance the fixing strength in the rotation direction.
[0007]
Further, the wall mounting portion 5 is screwed and fixed to the base 4 with two left and right tightening bolts 32, thereby restricting the movement in the rotation direction, whereby the orientation of the base 24 or the wall mounting portion 25 during sliding is controlled. The slide adjustment movement can be performed in a fixed direction, that is, a direction that is directly separated from or close to the wall surface.
[0008]
However, in the conventional gas meter mounting bracket, two fastening bolts 32 must be sequentially tightened and screwed one by one in order to fix the base 24 and the wall mounting portion 25. There is a problem that mounting is troublesome.
[0009]
When the base 24 is slid and adjusted with respect to the wall mounting portion 25 (wall surface), the bolts 32 screwed into the base 24 are sequentially loosened and the base 24 is slid and moved, and the left and right sides are again moved to a desired position. The tightening bolts 32 must be tightened and screwed one by one and fixed one by one, so that there is a problem that the slide adjustment is also troublesome.
[0010]
Further, at the time of this slide adjustment movement, since the respective tightening bolts 32 inserted into the long window-shaped mounting holes 27 on the left and right portions of the wall mounting portion 25 are in a loosened state, the base 24 or the wall Although not so much as in the prior art, the mounting portion 25 is likely to be oriented in the direction of rotation of the tightening bolt 32, which causes a problem that the construction is still troublesome.
[0011]
On the other hand, when attaching the pair of left and right pipes, the gas meter mounting bracket completely removes the tightening bolt 30 for fixing the fixing portion 28 to the base 24 from the base 24, removes the fixing portion 28 from the base 24, and removes this. A pair of left and right pipes must be arranged between the fixed part 28 and the base 24, and the fixed part 28 must be screwed to the base 24 again with the tightening bolt 30.
[0012]
Therefore, when a conventional gas meter mounting bracket which is usually shipped from a manufacturer with the base 24, the wall mounting part 25 and the fixing part 28 bolted is used on site, the fastening bolt 30 from the base 24 is used. Is completely removed, the fixing portion 28 is removed from the base 24, and the pair of right and left pipes of the gas meter are brought into contact with the side surfaces of the base 24, and then the fixing portion 28 is again fixed to the base with the fastening bolts 30 through the pair of left and right pipes. 24 has to be screwed and fixed, and in this regard, there is a problem that the construction is troublesome.
[0013]
According to the present invention, a slide guide portion for guiding a slide adjustment movement of an edge portion of the wall surface mounting portion or the base is protruded from the base or the wall mounting portion, and a long window shape is formed at one place of the base or the wall mounting portion. By providing the mounting holes, the base and the wall mounting portion are fixed with a single tightening bolt, and only by loosening or tightening the single tightening bolt, the base and the wall mounting portion are fixed. It is excellent in workability because it can slide and move straight away or approaching direction, and when the base and the wall mounting part are fixed with the tightening bolt, the tightening action by this tightening bolt and An object of the present invention is to provide a highly practical meter mounting bracket capable of remarkably improving fixing strength by restricting a rotation direction (plate surface direction) by a slide guide portion.
[0014]
Further, a notch hole for inserting a bolt for attaching the fixing portion to the base is formed in the fixing portion for fixing the pair of right and left pipes in a holding state, so that the bolt screwed to the base is attached to the base. A meter mounting bracket with excellent workability and excellent practicability, in which the bolt can be detached through the opening of the cutout hole and the fixing portion can be removed from the base simply by loosening without removing it from the base. It is intended to be.
