First, the part is expanded, the tube is gripped between both gripping parts, and then both gripping parts are also pressed inward using a finger or the like. By such an operation, the boundary between the joint surface portion and the upright portion undergoes plastic deformation, so that both gripping portions maintain the state of holding the tubular body and the like. It is possible to maintain the tube and the like while holding both the fastening portions with screws or the like.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of an embodiment of a fixture such as a tubular body according to the present invention.
The fixture such as a pipe according to the present invention is formed by bending a single metal plate. A joint surface portion 10 is provided in the substantially central portion, and a through hole 11 is formed in the substantially central portion of the joint surface portion 10. The joint surface portion 10 is joined to a member to be attached such as a wall surface, a floor surface, or a column, and is attached by a screw or the like.

The through-hole 11 can be formed in a screw hole, and another fixture such as a tube can be screwed as will be described later with reference to FIG.
Standing portions 12 are provided on both sides of the joint surface portion 10 so as to extend substantially upward. The tubular body and the like that are fixed by the presence of the upright portion 12 are fixed to the attached member while maintaining a certain height.
The height of the standing portion 12 can be appropriately determined as necessary, but at least, the height of the screw head to be screwed needs to be maintained.

Grip portions 14 and 14 are formed that are curved and extended further upward from the upper ends of both standing portions 12 and 12. It is possible to grip the tubular body and the like to which both the gripping portions 14 and 14 are fixed from both sides.
The curvature of the gripping portions 14 and 14 is formed so as to match the outer diameter of an appropriately sized tube or the like, but in order to grip the tube or the like so as to be sandwiched from both sides, Even if the outer diameter is slightly different, it can be gripped.
Fastening portions 16, 16 are formed so as to extend obliquely upward from the upper ends of both gripping portions 14, 14.

A screw hole 17 is provided on one side of the fastening portion 16, and a through hole 18 is provided on the other side. Thereby, although not shown, the tip end portion of the screw can be passed through the through hole 18 and screwed into the opposing screw hole 17 so that both the fastening portions 16 and 16 can be tightened in a direction approaching each other. .
The screw hole 17 may be formed in the through hole, and in this case, it may be fastened with a bolt and a nut.
Further, in this embodiment, both side edge portions of the upright portion 12 are bent and edged so as to stand upright in a direction perpendicular to the piping direction of the fixed pipe body or the like. A fringe portion on both side edges of the standing portion 12 is indicated by 13, a fringe portion on both side edges of the grip portion 14 is indicated by 15, and a fringe portion on both side edges of the fastening portion 16 is indicated by 19.

The method of using the fixture according to the present invention is completely free and is not limited to the above.

Although one embodiment has been described above, in the present invention, the size can be appropriately set to a desired size.
The degree of curvature or curvature of the grip portion can also be set freely, and various sizes can be prepared according to the size of the fixed tubular body or the like.
The extension angle of the fastening portion extending upward from the upper end of the gripping portion can also be set freely, and may be set so as to face substantially vertically upward when these fastening portions are joined.
Moreover, although the through hole provided in one side of the fastening portion is shown in a substantially circular shape in the drawing, it can be freely formed in an oval shape that is long in the vertical direction. By making the through hole into an oval shape, it is possible to satisfactorily screw into the screw hole provided in the fastening portion where the tip of the screw inserted from the through hole is opposed.

The height of the upright portion can also be set freely, and the lateral width seen from the piping direction can also be set freely. However, it is necessary to form the screw head so as to fit in the space between the joint surface portion and the upright portion.
The edge portions are provided on both side edges of the upright portion, the grip portion, and the fastening portion, but may be provided only at least in the grip portion in order to protect the surface portion of the tubular body or the like. However, since the edge portion also has a reinforcing effect, it is preferable to provide the entire edge of these portions in order to prevent plastic deformation of these portions. However, this edge portion is not provided on both side edges of the boundary portion between the joint surface portion and the upright portion. This is to enable plastic deformation at the boundary between the two.
The edge portion is preferably formed with a round shape so that it is not acute from the side edge of each portion but curved.
Either a screw hole or a through hole can be provided in the joint surface portion.
Moreover, the fixture according to the present invention can be implemented not as a metal but as a synthetic resin.
