【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、建造物の隠蔽壁やコンクリート壁等の壁内に、或いは、屋外に又は地中に設けられて、電線や信号線等のケーブルを配線したり、湯、水、ガス等の流体管を配管したりするための配線・配管材保護管を連結することにより、前記壁内等に長尺の管路を形成するための保護管連結装置、並びに該連結装置に用いられる配線・配管材保護管、連結具及び保護管固定具に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
図13は、従来技術による配線・配管材保護管100を示す。該配線・配管材保護管100は、管体101と、該管体101の中心部に設けられて引込具102が往復動する挿通路103とを備える。該管体101と挿通路103との間には、該管体の周方向に所定間隔を隔てて複数の仕切壁104が設けられる。各仕切壁104同士の間はケーブル105のような配線や配管材を収容して保護する収容部106になっている。このような構成の配線・配管材保護管100は、建造物の隠蔽壁やコンクリート壁等の壁内に、或いは、屋外に又は地中において互いに連結されることにより、長尺の管路が形成されると共に、配線・配管材保護管100の収容部106同士を連通させた状態で、当該収容部106内にケーブル105等の配線や、湯、水、ガス等を流通させる流体管を配管するようにして用いられる。
【0003】
そして、この従来構成の配線・配管材保護管100内に例えば、ケーブル105を引き込む場合、引込具102にケーブル105を連結した状態で、該引込具102を挿通路103内を往復動させることにより、収容部106内にケーブル105を引き込んで配線するようにしていた。又、管内に仕切壁104が設けられないタイプの配線・配管材保護管も知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、配線・配管材保護管100を連結して長尺の管路を形成した場合、各配線・配管材保護管100に設けられている収容部106同士が周方向へ位置ずれし易く、本来、互いに連通すべき収容部106同士が互いに連通しない場合が発生する。このような場合、収容部106内にケーブル105のような配線・配管材を良好に収容できず、延いては、該収容部106内に配設されるケーブル105のような配線・配管材が損傷する場合があるという問題がある。又、長尺の管路を形成している配線・配管材保護管100に対して外力が加わった場合、該配線・配管材保護管100同士が互いに周方向へ回転して捩れ易く、該配線・配管材保護管100に捩れ応力が発生する場合があり、このような場合、当該捩れ応力の蓄積によって配線・配管材保護管100に材料疲労に基づく損傷が発生するという問題がある。このような捩れ応力の蓄積によって配線・配管材保護管100が損傷するという問題は、上述のように、管内に仕切壁が設けられていないタイプの配線・配管材保護管についても発生する。
【0006】
本発明は、このような従来技術の問題点に鑑みてなされたものであって、その目的とするところは、各配線・配管材保護管同士の連結において、該各配線・配管材保護管の収容部同士の周方向の位置ずれを防止するようにした保護管連結装置並びに保護管連結装置に用いられる配線・配管材保護管及び連結具を提供するものである。
【0007】
又、本発明の他の目的は、各配線・配管材保護管同士の連結状態において、捩れを発生させないようにした保護管連結装置並びに該保護管連結装置に用いられる配線・配管材保護管及び連結具を提供するものである。
【0008】
更に、本発明の他の目的は、配線・配管材保護管に捩れ現象を発生させることなく、該配線・配管材保護管を床等の被固定具に固定できるようにした保護管固定具を提供するものである。

【0025】
【実施の形態】
図1は、本発明の第1実施形態を示す。本発明の保護管連結装置1は、配線・配管材保護管2と、二つの配線・配管材保護管2の間に設けられて配線・配管材保護管2を連結する連結具3とを備える。前記連結具3の内径は、前記配線・配管材保護管2の外径よりも大径であって、配線・配管材保護管2の端部は連結具3の端部に嵌入し得る。前記配線・配管材保護管2は、管体4と、該管体4の中心部に設けられて引込具5が往復動する挿通路6とを備える。該管体4と挿通路6との間には、該管体4の周方向に所定間隔を隔てて複数の仕切壁7が設けられる。各仕切壁7は、基端部が管体4に連設され、先端部が挿通路6に連設される。各仕切壁7同士の間はケーブル8のような配線や配管材を収容して保護する収容部9になっている。
【0026】
前記挿通路6には、挿通路6の長手方向に沿ってスリット10が形成される。該スリット10は、挿通路6の周方向に沿って複数個設けられ、各スリット10によって挿通路6は各収容部9に連通する。前記引込具5の板状の突片11が前記スリット10から収容部9内に突出すると共に、当該突片11は、引込具5の前記往復動に伴い、該スリット10内を走行する。該突片11にケーブル8のような配線・配管材が連結されることにより、前記引込具5の往復動に伴い、ケーブル8のような配線・配管材は前記各収容部9内に挿通されて収容される。
【0027】
前記配線・配管材保護管2の外周面には位置決め部12が設けられる。前記仕切壁7の基端部を厚肉に形成すれば、前記位置決め部12としての溝を管体4の外周面から該基端部内に向けて形成することができる。該位置決め部12は、一個設けてもよいし、又は、前記管体4の周方向に向けて所定間隔を開けて複数個設けてもよい。
【0028】
前記連結具3は、管状に形成される。該連結具3の内面には、係合部13としての突部が形成される。該係合部13は、前記配線・配線材保護管2が前記連結具3に嵌入される際に前記位置決め部12に係合する。該係合部13が、連結具3の長手方向に沿って連続して形成されれば、係合部13と位置決め部12とが長尺の長さに亘って係合し、長尺の長さに亘って両者間の捩れが防止される。該係合部13は、前記位置決め部12に対応した個数及び位置に設けられる。該係合部13が前記位置決め部12に係合した状態で、前記配線・配線材保護管2を前記連結具3に嵌入して連結することにより、両配線・配管材保護管2の収容部9同士が互いに対応して連通するようになっている。前記係合部13は前記連結具3と一体に形成されても良いし、別体であっても良い。
【0029】
連結具3の両端部には、前記管体4の外周面に開口し、前記係合部13を貫通する螺子孔14が形成される。該各螺子孔14には、ビス15が螺入される。前記係合部13が前記位置決め部12に係合した状態で、該各ビス15は各螺子孔14から突出し、両配線・配管材保護管2の位置決め部12の底面に螺入し得る長さである。該ビス15が前記位置決め部12に螺入することにより、前記連結具3と配線・配管材保護管2との抜止手段が構成される。前記位置決め部12を構成する溝の溝幅を狭く形成すれば、前記ビス15は、位置決め部12に有効に螺入する。又、前記連結具3の長手方向の中央位置には、該連結具3及び前記係合部13を貫通して連結具3内を目視できる開口16が形成される。
【0030】
次に、一方の配線・配管材保護管2と他方の配線・配管材保護管(図示せず)とを連結具3によって連結する場合について説明する。図1に示す状態において、左手で、連結具3を握り、右手で配線・配管材保護管2を握り、連結具3を軸心方向に沿って配線・配管材保護管2に接近させ、連結具3の端部に配線・配管材保護管2の端部を宛がい、連結具3の係合部13に配線・配管材保護管2の位置決め部12を係合させた状態で、連結具3の端部に配線・配管材保護管2の端部を嵌入する。そして、更に、配線・配管材保護管2を連結具3内に押し込み、連結具3の開口16を通して外部から連結具3の内部を目視しながら配線・配管材保護管2の端部を開口16の位置まで前進させる。
【0031】
次に、左手で、他方の配線・配管材保護管を握り、右手で連結具3を握り、上記と同様に、連結具3の係合部13に配線・配管材保護管の位置決め部を係合させた状態で、連結具3の端部に配線・配管材保護管の端部を嵌入する。そして、更に、配線・配管材保護管を連結具3内に押し込むことにより、連結具3の開口16を通して外部から連結具3の内部を目視しながら配線・配管材保護管の端部を開口16の位置まで前進させ、配線・配管材保護管2の端部同士を突き合わせる。
【0032】
これによって、一方の配線・配管材保護管2と他方の配線・配管材保護管とは連結具3を介して対面し、一方の配線・配管材保護管2の各収容部9と他方の配線・配管材保護管の各収容部とが連通する。そして、仮に、両配線・配管材保護管2に捩れ方向の力が作用したとする。この場合においては、連結具3の係合部13が軸心方向の長尺に亘って位置決め部12に係合しているため、配線・配管材保護管2同士は互いに捩れることはなく、従って、両配線・配管材保護管2の収容部9同士が周方向に位置ずれせず、当該収容部9同士の連通状態は保たれる。又、連結具3の係合部13が軸心方向の長尺に亘って位置決め部12に係合しているため、仮に、配線・配管材保護管2に捩れ方向の力が作用したとしても当該力は長尺に亘って係合している係合部13及び位置決め部12に分散する。このため、前記捩れ方向の力が部分的に大きく作用することがなく、配線・配管材保護管2の内部に大きな捩れ応力が発生しない。
【0033】
図2は、第2実施形態を示す。位置決め部12が、配線・配管材保護管2の外面に形成された溝によって形成される点は、第1実施形態と同様である。この実施形態においては、第1実施形態に示す突状の係合部13は設けられず、当該係合部13をビス15によって構成した点にある。この実施例においては、前記ビス15が位置決め部12に係合することにより、前記配線・配管材保護管2同士の捩れを防止し、又、前記ビス15が前記位置決め部12に螺入することにより、前記配線・配管材保護管2と連結具3との間の抜けが防止される。この実施形態においては、以上のように、第1実施形態と比較して、連結具3に係合部3は形成されない。このため、図2に示す状態において、ビス15を緩めて後退させた状態で、配線・配管材保護管2を連結具3内に嵌入した後に、該配線・配管材保護管2を回転させて位置合わせができるため、該配線・配管材保護管2を連結具3に連結する作業が容易である。
【0034】
この実施形態においては、上述のように、位置決め部12が配線・配管材保護管2の外周に形成された溝によって構成されているため、当該溝に係合する前記ビス15は、図2に示すように、連結具3内に突出させて取付けたままの状態で運搬等することができる。従って、該ビス15は運搬作業の途中等において連結具3から脱落し難く、又、紛失し難い。しかも、前記ビス15は、前記連結具3内に突出した状態であるため、該ビス15についてはそのままの状態で、前記配線・配管材保護管2を連結具3に挿入でき、その後、該ビス15を螺着することにより配線・配管材保護管2を連結具3に連結することができる。
【0035】
図3は、第3実施形態を示す。位置決め部12が、配線・配管材保護管2の外面に形成された溝によって形成され、又、連結具3が管状に形成された点は、第1実施形態と同様である。この実施形態の連結具3においては、該連結具3の内径が配線・配管材保護管2の外径よりも若干小径に形成される。従って、配線・配管材保護管2と連結具3とを連結する場合、配線・配管材保護管2の端部は連結具3の端部内に圧入される。この実施形態の位置決め部12は、配線・配管材保護管2の外面に形成された溝によって構成され、又、係合部13は前記連結具3の長手方向に亘って連結具3の内面に形成された突部によって構成される。前記連結具3の外面には、前記係合部13の外側の位置に調整溝21が形成される。前記係合部13及び調整溝21は、連結具3の周壁の一部を内側へ折り込むことによって同時に形成してもよい。
【0036】
次に、動作について説明する。配線・配管材保護管2の端部を連結具3の端部に宛がうと共に、配線・配管材保護管2の位置決め部12を連結具3の係合部13に係合させた状態で、配線・配管材保護管2の端部を連結具3の端部内に圧入する。連結具3の係合部13が配線・配管材保護管2の位置決め部12に係合することにより、配線・配管材保護管2は、連結具3に対して周方向へ不用意に回転せず、従って、連結具3に対する配線・配管材保護管2の捩れが防止される。又、この際、連結具3は、配線・配管材保護管2が圧入されることよって、調整溝21の溝幅が図中、矢示方向へ拡がって連結具3が拡径すると共に、該連結具3の復元力によって該連結具3の内面は、配線・配管材保護管2の端部に密着する。連結具3が配線・配管材保護管2に密着することにより、連結具3と配線・配管材保護管2との抜けが防止されると共に、連結具3内が密閉される。連結具3内の密閉によって該連結具3内への埃、チリの異物の侵入等が防止される。又、この実施形態の連結具3は、上述のように、調整溝21の溝幅が拡がるため、様々の外径の配線・配管材保護管2を連結することができる
【0037】
図4は、第4実施形態を示す。位置決め部12が、配線・配管材保護管2の外面に形成された溝によって形成され、又、連結具3が管状に形成されると共に、係合部13が該連結具3の内面に形成された突部によって構成された点は、第1実施形態と同様である。この実施形態の連結具3においては、該連結具3の内径が配線・配管材保護管2の外径よりも若干小径に形成される。そして、この実施形態においては、連結具3の両端部には、軸心方向に沿ってスリット22が形成される。該スリット22は連結具3の各端部に1個設けてもよいし、又、該各連結具3の周方向に沿って複数個設けてもよい。
【0038】
次に、動作について説明する。この実施形態においては、配線・配管材保護管2の端部を連結具3の端部内に圧入させる。連結具3の係合部13が配線・配管材保護管2の位置決め部12に係合することにより、配線・配管材保護管2の捩れが防止される。又、この際、連結具3は、配線・配管材保護管2が圧入されることよって、スリット22が拡がって連結具3が拡径すると共に、該連結具3の拡径に伴って該連結具3に発生する復元力によって該連結具3は配線・配管材保護管2の端部に密着する。配線・配管材保護管2が連結具3内に圧入されることにより、連結具3と配線・配管材保護管2との抜けが防止される。又、この実施形態の連結具3は、上述のように、スリット22によって拡径するため、様々の外径の配線・配管材保護管2を連結することができる上に、連結具3の両端部には互いに異なった外径の配線・配管材保護管2を連結することができる。
【0039】
図5は、第5実施形態を示す。この実施形態においては、連結具3が管状に形成され、又、位置決め部12が、配線・配管材保護管2の外面に長手方向に亘って形成された溝によって構成され、更に、係合部13が連結具3の内面に長手方向に亘って形成された突部13によって構成される点については、第1実施形態と同様である。又、この実施形態においては、連結具3の端部に周方向に亘って周方向スリット23を形成し、又、該連結具3の管挿入口24から前記周方向スリット23に至る長手方向スリット25を形成することにより、連結具3の各端部には一対の締付片26,26が形成される。該各締付片26は基端が連結具3に連設され、先端は自由端になっている。該各締付片26の自由端には、連結具3の径方向外方へ向く連結片27,27が形成される。一方の連結片27には螺子挿通孔(図示せず)が形成され、他方の連結片27には螺子孔28が形成される。螺子29が、螺子挿通孔を挿通して螺子孔28に螺着することにより、二つの締付片26,26は互いに接近するように連結する。
【0040】
次に、動作について説明する。この実施形態においては、配線・配管材保護管2の端部を連結具3の端部に嵌入し、位置決め部12を係合部13に係合する。その後、螺子29の螺回によって一対の締付片26,26を互いに接近させるようにして一対の締付片26,26で配線・配管材保護管2を締付けるようにして、配線・配管材保護管2と連結具3とを連結する。位置決め部12に係合部13が係合することにより、配線・配管材保護管2の捩れが防止される。又、一対の締付片26,26で配線・配管材保護管2を締付けることにより、配線・配管材保護管2と連結具3との抜けが防止される。締付片26によって抜止手段が構成される。尚、前記締付片26,26によって前記配線・配管材保護管2を強力に締付けできるようにすれば、締付片26,26の締付けのみによって、前記配線・配管材保護管2の捩れ現象及び配線・配管材保護管2と連結具3との抜けを防止することも可能である。この実施形態の連結具3は、上述のように、締付片26,26によって配線・配管材保護管2に連結するため、螺子29の螺回の程度を調節することにより、様々の外径の配線・配管材保護管2を連結することができる上に、連結具3の両端部には互いに異なった外径の配線・配管材保護管2を連結することができる。
【0041】
図6は、第6実施形態を示す。この実施形態の連結具3は、開閉可能の開口31を長手方向に有する筒体部32と該開口31の端縁に沿って設けられた連結片33,33とを備える。この実施形態においては、位置決め部12が、配線・配管材保護管2の外面に長手方向に亘って形成された溝によって構成され、又、係合部13が連結具3の内面に長手方向に亘って形成された突部によって構成される点については、第1実施形態と同様である。前記係合部13は、配線・配管材保護管2の位置決め部12に係合するように該位置決め部12に等しい個数が該位置決め部12に対応した位置に形成される。又、前記一方の連結片33には螺子挿通孔34が形成され、他方の連結片33には螺子孔35が形成され、螺子36が螺子挿通孔34を挿通して螺子孔35に螺着することにより、両連結片33,33は互いに接近するように連結する。

次に動作について説明する。図6に示す状態において、両連結片33,33に対して螺子36を緩く螺着することによって両連結片33,33を互いに接近させるようにして連結する。その後、筒体部32の両端において、両配線・配管材保護管2の位置決め部12を連結具3の係合部13に係合させた状態で、両配線・配管材保護管2を連結具3内に嵌入し、両配線・管材保護管2の先端同士を突き合わせる。その後、螺子36を螺着して、両連結片33を連結することにより、筒体部32を両配線・配管材保護管2の外周面に圧接させる。この状態において、位置決め部12と係合部13との係合によって両配線・配管材保護管2の捩れが防止されると共に、両配線・配管材保護管2の収容部同士が連通するため、該収容部内にケーブルのような配線・配管材が円滑に布設されて収容され得る。又、前記螺子36の螺回によって、筒体部32が両配線・配管材保護管2の外周面に圧接することにより、両配線・配管材保護管2が連結具3から抜け止めされる。前記螺子36によって抜止手段が構成される。この実施形態においては、両配線・配管材保護管2を連結具3の筒体部32に挿入した後に、螺子36の螺回によって、筒体部32を両配線・配管材保護管2に密接するように構成したため、該連結具3は、様々の外径の配線・配管材保護管2を連結できる。
【0043】
図7は、第7実施形態を示す。この実施形態の連結具3は、突状の係合部13を有すると共に、該係合部13が、配線・配管材保護管2の位置決め部12に係合可能である点については、第1実施形態と同様である。この実施形態の連結具3は、筒体を半割した形状の二つの筒体構成片41,41と、各筒体構成片41,41の両側縁に沿って径方向外方に向けて設けられた連結片42,42とを備える。一方の筒体構成片41の連結片42には、螺子挿通孔43が形成され、他方の筒体構成片41の連結片42には螺子孔44が形成される。そして、螺子45を螺子挿通孔43を挿通させて螺子孔44に螺着して連結することにより、前記両筒体構成片41,41によって配線・配管材保護管2が挿入される筒体を形作る。
【0044】
このように構成されたこの実施形態の連結具においては、一方の筒体構成片41を例えば、床に置いた状態で、二つの配線・配管材保護管2を該筒体構成片41の上に載置し、両配線・配管材保護管2の先端同士を突き合わせる。この際、両配線・配管材保護管2の位置決め部12を筒体構成片41の係合部13に係合させる。その後、他方の筒体構成片41を両配線・配管材保護管2に上方から被せる。そして、螺子挿通孔42に螺子45を挿通させて該螺子45を螺子孔44に螺着する。螺子45を強力に螺回することにより、二つの筒体構成片41,41を強固に両配線・配管材保護管2に圧接することにより、連結具3と両配線・配管材保護管2との抜けが防止される。この実施形態においては、上述のように、配線・配管材保護管2の軸芯に直交する方向から連結具3を連結できるだけでなく、二つの筒体構成片41及び螺子45によって連結具3を組立てた後に、該連結具3に配線・配管材保護管2連結するようにすれば該連結具3の軸芯に沿った方向から該連結具3に対して配線・配管材保護管2を連結することができる。
【0045】
図8は第8実施形態を示す。第1実施形態においては、連結具3は管状に形成したが、この実施形態の連結具3は板状に形成され、該連結具3の内面に係合部13を有する。前記連結具3は、配線・配管材保護管2の外周面と同一の曲率を有する。又、この実施形態においては、配線・配管材保護管2の一部を肉厚部51に形成すると共に、該肉厚部45に位置決め部12としての溝を形成したものである。該位置決め部12としての溝は、配線・配管材保護管2の外周面側に向けて順次溝幅が狭くなるように断面が台形状に形成される。前記係合部13は、前記位置決め部12の断面形状に対応して断面が台形の棒状に形成され、且つ、該係合部13の断面の大きさは位置決め部12の大きさよりも若干大型に形成される。前記位置決め部12と係合部13とを長手方向に連続して形成すれば、位置決め部12と係合部13とが長手方向に亘って長尺に係合するため、配線・配管材保護管2と連結具3との間の捩れを一層有効に防止できる。
【0046】
次に、動作について説明する。連結具3を把持し、係合部13の一端部を一方の配線・配管材保護管2の位置決め部12の端部に宛がった後、該係合部13の一端部側を該位置決め部12内に圧入する。その後、係合部13の他端部を他方の配線・配管材保護管2の位置決め部12に宛がった後、該係合部13の他端部側を該位置決め部12内に圧入する。これにより、両配線・配管材保護管2は連結具3を介して連結される。そして、仮に、両配線・配管材保護管2に対して、配線・配管材保護管2を回転させる方向の力が作用したとする。この場合、係合部13が位置決め部12に係合しているため、両配線・配管材保護管2の捩れが阻止される。第1実施形態の連結具3は管状であるのに対して、この実施形態の連結具3は板状に形成されるため、配線・配管材保護管2の外周側に張り出す連結具3の張り出し量が少ない。このため、連結具3自体が配線・配管材保護管2の配設上の弊害になり難い。
【0047】
図9は、第9実施形態を示す。この実施形態において、位置決め部12が配線・配管材保護管2の外周面に形成された溝によって構成された点については、第1実施形態と同様である。しかし、第1実施形態の連結具3は、管状であるのに対し、この実施形態の連結具3は、配線・配管材保護管2の外周面と同一の曲率を有する板状に形成され、該連結具3の端部には挿通孔61が形成される。該挿通孔61にはビス62が挿通されると共に、該ビス62の先端は前記各配線・配管材保護管2の位置決め部12に螺入されるようになっている。
【0048】
次に、動作について説明する。この実施形態においては、両配線・配管材保護管2の端部を突き合わせた状態で、両配線・配管材保護管2に跨って連結具3を被せる。次に、連結具3の挿通孔61にビス62を挿通し、該ビス62を両配線・配管材保護管2の位置決め部12に螺入する。ビス62が位置決め部12に螺入することにより、両配線・配管材保護管2の捩れが防止されると共に、両配線・配管材保護管2と連結具3との抜けが防止される。又、前記位置決め部12としての溝を、配線・配管材保護管2の周壁を内側へ折り込むことによって形成すれば、該配線・配管材保護管2の内面にリブ63が形成され、該リブ63によって配線・配管材保護管2が補強される。又、第1実施形態の連結具3は管状であるのに対して、この実施形態の連結具3は板状に形成されるため、配線・配管材保護管2の外周側に張り出す連結具3の張り出し量が少ない。このため、連結具3自体が配線・配管材保護管2の配設上の弊害になり難い。
【0049】
図10は第10実施形態を示す。この実施形態の連結具3は、第8実施形態の連結具3と同様に板状に形成されると共に、該連結具3の内面には係合部13が形成される。該係合部13は、配線・配管材保護管2の位置決め部12に嵌入されて係合する。この実施形態の位置決め部12は、配線・配管材保護管2の長手方向に沿った溝状に形成されると共に、該位置決め部12の両側縁から該位置決め部12の中心方向へ向けて抜止受け部71が該位置決め部12の溝底に平行に延設され、該抜止受け部71の先端は該溝の底方向へ曲折されてガイド部72になっている。又、前記係合部13は、前記連結具3に延設された中央支持部73と該中央支持部73の両側に設けられた抜止部74、74とを備え、中央支持部73と抜止部74との間は、凹状のガイド受部75,75になっている。そして、前記中央支持部73と抜止部74は、前記配線・配管材保護管2に対する前記連結具3の嵌入方向へ向けて長尺に形成される。前記連結具3及び係合部13には、該連結具3の上面に開口し、該係合部13を貫通する螺子孔が形成され、該螺子孔にはビス76,76が螺入される。そして、前記係合部13の端部が、前記位置決め部12の端部に宛がわれて、該位置決め部12内に嵌入されるが、該係合部13が位置決め部12内に嵌入された状態で、係合部13の中央支持部73が位置決め部12のガイド部72、72間に位置し、係合部13の抜止部74が位置決め部12の抜止受け部71に当接する。
【0050】
そして、前記連結具3を一方の配線・配管材保護管2に連結するには、該連結具3を把持し、前記係合部13の一端側を位置決め部12に嵌入し、ビス76を螺子孔に緩くねじ込む。次に、前記連結具3を他方の配線・配管材保護管2に連結するには、前記係合部13の他端を位置決め部12に嵌入し、ビス76を緩くねじ込む。その後、両ビス76,76を強く螺入すると、両ビス76,76の先端が位置決め部12の溝底に押し当たると共に、その反作用として係合部13が持ち上がって該係合部13の抜止部74が位置決め部12の抜止受け部71に押圧される。該抜止部74と該抜止受け部71との摩擦によって、前記係合部13は前記位置決め部12内において移動せず、連結具3は位置決め部12内から抜け出ない。前記ビス76、前記抜止部74及び前記抜止受け部71によって、抜止手段が構成される。この実施形態の連結具3は板状に形成されるため、配線・配管材保護管2の外周側に張り出す連結具3の張り出し量が少ないため、該連結具3自体が配線・配管材保護管2の配設上の弊害になり難い。
【0051】
図11は第11実施形態を示す。この実施形態は、配線・配管材保護管2の捩れを防止しつつ該配線・配管材保護管2を床等の被固定部81に取付けるための保護管固定具82を示す。この実施形態においては、配線・配管材保護管2の外面に、溝状の位置決め部12が形成されている点については、第1実施形態と同様である。該保護管固定具82は、断面が湾曲状の固定部83と該固定部83の両側に設けられた取付部84,84とを備える。前記固定部83の内面には、前記位置決め部12が係合する係合部13が突状に形成される。又、前記取付部84,84には挿通孔85,85が形成される。該挿通孔85,85には螺子86が挿通され、該螺子86は床等の被固定部81に螺着されるものである。
【0052】
次に、動作について説明する。配線・配管材保護管2を例えば、床等の被固定部81上に配管する。その後、該配線・配管材保護管2の上方から保護管固定具82を被せると共に、該保護管固定具82の係合部13を配線・配管材保護管2の位置決め部12に係合する。この状態において、取付部84の挿通孔85に螺子86を挿通し、該螺子86を被固定部81にねじ込むことにより、配線・配管材保護管2は捩れを防止された状態で、被固定部81に固定される。尚、以上の説明では、一本の配線・配管材保護管2がその捩れを防止した状態で被固定部81に固定する場合について説明したが、2本の配線・配管材保護管2が、先端部同士を突き合わせた状態で該保護管固定具82によって固定するようにしてもよい。
【0053】
次に、図12は第12実施形態を示す。この実施形態において、配線・配管材保護管2の外周面に溝状の位置決め部12が形成される点については、第1実施形態と同様である。この実施形態の保護管固定具91は、支持台92と、該支持台92にヒンジ93を介して回転自在に設けられた押え部94とを備える。前記支持台92の上面には、配線・配管材保護管2が載置される凹部95と差込孔96が形成される。該凹部95は前記配線・配管材保護管2の外周面と同形状に形成されると共に、該凹部95の長手方向には配線・配管材保護管2の位置決め部12に係合する係合部13が形成される。又、該凹部95の長手方向の中央には、前記係合部13と直行するようにストッパ97が突状に形成される。前記押え部94の基端は、前記ヒンジ93によって前記支持台62に回転自在に取付けられることにより、押え部94は前記凹部95上に被せられるようになっている。
【0054】
前記押え部94の内面は、前記凹部95上に載置される配線・配管材保護管2の外周面と同形状に形成される。又、前記押え部94の先端には、前記差込孔96に挿入されて該差込孔96に引掛けられる引掛け部98が形成される。該引掛け部98は、前記押え部94の先端が基端側へ折り返された形状をなすことにより、引掛け部98の先端を押え部94側へ接近させるように摘んだ場合に、該押え部94から離間する方向の復元力が該引掛け部98に発生する。前記引掛け部98の外面には、引掛け溝99が形成される。前記引掛け部98が前記押え部94側へ接近するように摘まれた状態で前記差込孔96内にさし込まれた場合に、該引掛け部98が拡がると共に、前記引掛け溝99が該差込孔96内に設けられた引掛け溝(図示せず)に引っ掛かることによって、引掛け部98が差込孔96から外れない。又、前記引掛け部98は、摘んだ状態で前記差込孔96から引き抜き可能である。
【0055】
次に、動作について説明する。両配線・配管材保護管2を保護管固定具91の凹部95に載置すると共に、両配線・配管材保護管2の先端を該凹部95上のストッパ97に当接することにより、両配線・配管材保護管2の先端同士を突き合わせる。両配線・配管材保護管2がストッパ97に当接することにより、両配線・配管材保護管2の軸方向に沿った不用意の移動が阻止される。又、波付管を前記保護管固定具91の凹部95に載置する場合には、前記ストッパ97を波付管の凹部に係合することにより、該波付管の軸方向への位置ずれが阻止される。この状態において、押え部を配線・配管材保護管の上に被せると共に、該押え部94の引掛け部94を摘んだ状態で差込孔96に差し込む。引掛け部98が差込孔96内に差し込まれると拡がると共に、引掛け溝99が差込孔96内の引掛け溝に係合することにより、引掛け部98が差込孔96内から抜け出ることはなく、押え部94が配線・配管材保護管を押え続けて、両配線・配管材保護管を被固定部に固定する。
【0056】
以上の実施形態を、仕切壁のないタイプの配線・配管材保護管を連結具3に連結することに適用した場合には、この種のタイプの配線・配管材保護管に捩れ方向の外力が作用しても該配線・配管材保護管には捩れ応力は発生せず、従って、当該捩れ応力の蓄積に基づく損傷も生じない。
【0057】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように本発明においては、複数の収容部を内部に設けた配線・配管材保護管の外周に位置決め部を設ける一方、該配線・配管材保護管を複数個連結することにより長尺の管路を形成するための連結具の内周には、前記位置決め部に係合する係合部を設けるようにしたため、該連結具によって連結されるべき両配線・配管材保護管の収容部同士の周方向の位置ずれが防止され、収容部同士の良好な連通状態が確保される。
【0058】
又、本発明においては、外力に基づく捩れ力が前記配線・配管材保護管に作用しても当該配線・配管材保護管の捩れ現象は、前記係合部が前記位置決め部に係合することにより防止される。このため、配線・配管材保護管には前記捩れ現象に基づく損傷は発生しない。
【0059】
又、本発明において、前記位置決め部を溝状に形成し、又、前記係合部を該位置決め部に係合する突状に形成すれば、位置決め部と係合部とが当該溝の長さに亘って長尺に係合するため、前記配線・配管材保護管に作用する捩れ力は前記溝の長さ亘って位置決め部及び係合部に分散して作用するものであって、部分的に集中して作用することはない。このため、前記捩れ力に基づく配線・配管材保護管及び連結具の損傷は防止される。
【0060】
更に、前記配線・配管材保護管と連結具に両者の抜けを防止する抜止手段を設ければ、両者間の良好な係合が維持される。更に又、前記抜止手段をビスによって構成すれば、該ビスを螺回するだけで、前記配線・配管材保護管と連結具との間の抜けが防止される。又、前記位置決め部及び係合部が、互いに対応した個数及び位置に設ければ、係合部は位置決め部に良好に係合する。又、前記位置決め部を溝状に形成すると共に、該位置決め部に係合する係合部をビスによって構成すれば、該ビスが位置決め部に係合することにより、前記収容部同士の位置ずれが防止されると共に、該ビスを位置決め部に螺入することにより、前記配線・配管材保護管と連結具との間の抜けが防止される。
【0061】
又、引込具の往復動によって収容部内にケーブルのような配線・配管材を引き込むようにした配線・配管材保護管に本発明を適用した場合には、配線・配管材保護管の収容部同士が位置ずれを起こさず、その連通状態が確保されるため、当該引込具の往復動によって収容部内にケーブルのような配線・配管材が円滑に挿通される。
【0062】
又、本発明の保護管固定具は、配線・配管材保護管に設けられた位置決め部に係合する係合部を有するため、該配線・配管材保護管は該係合部によって捩れ現象が防止されつつ被固定部に固定される。
