Preferably, the reinforcing member 40 is processed into a shape corresponding to the planar shape of the pressing member 30 so that the role of the contact portions 33, 34, and 35 of the pressing member 30 is not disturbed.
The fastening bands 70 and 80 are length adjusting portions 71 and 81 that are coupled to the side portions 52 and 53 of the fixing bracket 50, respectively, and fastening portions 72 that are rotatably coupled to the length adjusting portion 71 by hinges 73 and 83. 82.

  In the length adjusting portions 71 and 81, screw holes 74, 74 ′, 84, 84 ′ for coupling with the side portions 52, 53 of the fixing bracket 50 are provided near the lower edges of the portions adjacent to the fastening portions 72, 82. And slots 75 and 85 are arranged in a row horizontally.

  Here, the screw holes 74, 74 ′, 84, 84 ′ and the slots 75, 85 are aligned with the screw holes 59, 63 formed in the side portions 52, 53 of the fixing bracket 50, as will be described later. Thus, the screws 58 and 62 are sandwiched.

  In addition, a locking member 76 and a locking ring 86 to which tension is applied by a spring are provided at the opposite ends of the fastening portions 72 and 82, and the locking ring 86 is fastened to the locking tool 76 and fastened. The parts 72 and 82 are joined.

  According to the fixing clamp having such a structure, the fluid storage container 10 is in a closed loop formed by the pressure member 30 that is coupled to the variable position inside the fixed bracket 50 and the fastening bands 70 and 80 that are coupled to the fixed bracket 50 at the variable position. Is pinched and fixed.

Hereinafter, an operation process of the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In order to fix the fluid storage container 10 having the smallest diameter, it is necessary to make the closed loop formed by the pressurizing member 30 and the fastening bands 70 and 80 the smallest. For this reason, since the pressure member 30 should be coupled to the side portions 52 and 53 farthest from the fixing portion 51 of the fixing bracket 50, screw holes formed in the coupling portions 31 and 32 of the pressure member 30. 36 and 37 are aligned with screw holes 56 ′ and 60 ′ formed in the side portions 52 and 53 of the fixing bracket 50, respectively, and then coupled using screws 55 and 54.

  Further, since the length adjusting portions 71 and 81 of the fastening bands 70 and 80 should be coupled to the side portions 52 and 53 closest to the fixing portion 51 of the fixing bracket 50, the length adjusting portions 71 and 81 are formed on the length adjusting portions 71 and 81. The screw holes 74 ′ and 84 ′ are aligned with the screw holes 59 and 63 formed in the side portions 52 and 53 of the fixing bracket 50, respectively, and then coupled using the screws 58 and 62.

Next, after engaging the locking ring 86 of the fastening portion 82 with the locking member 76 of the fastening portion 72, a hook is attached to complete the fastening.
On the other hand, in order to fix the fluid storage container 10 having the largest diameter, it is necessary to maximize the closed loop formed by the pressurizing member 30 and the fastening bands 70 and 80. For this reason, since the pressure member 30 should be coupled to the side portions 52 and 53 closest to the fixing portion 51 of the fixing bracket 50, screw holes formed in the coupling portions 31 and 32 of the pressure member 30. 36 and 37 are aligned with screw holes 56 and 60 formed in the side portions 52 and 53 of the fixing bracket 50, respectively, and then coupled using screws 55 and 54.

  Also, since the length adjusting portions 71 and 81 of the fastening bands 70 and 80 should be coupled to the side portions 52 and 53 farthest from the fixing portion 51 of the fixing bracket 50, the length adjusting portions 71 and 81 are connected to the length adjusting portions 71 and 81. The formed screw holes 74 and 84 are aligned with the screw holes 59 and 63 formed in the side portions 52 and 53 of the fixing bracket 50, respectively, and then coupled using the screws 58 and 62.

Next, after engaging the locking ring 86 of the fastening portion 82 with the locking member 76 of the fastening portion 72, the hook 77 is attached to complete the fastening.
On the other hand, in the case of the fluid storage container 10 having a diameter between the minimum diameter and the maximum diameter, the screw holes 36 and 37 formed in the coupling portions 31 and 32 of the pressurizing member 30 are respectively connected to the side portions 52 of the fixing bracket 50. , 53, and then temporarily joined using screws 55, 54. Further, after aligning the screws 59, 63 formed on the side portions 52, 53 of the fixing bracket 50 with the slots 75, 85 formed in the length adjusting portions 71, 81 of the fastening bands 70, 80, the screws 58, Use 62 to join temporarily.

  Next, after the fluid storage container 10 is positioned in the closed loop formed by the pressurizing member 30 and the fastening bands 70 and 80, the position of the pressurizing member 30 and the fastening bands 70 and 80 is adjusted to appropriately adjust the size of the closed loop. After the adjustment, the locking ring 86 of the fastening portion 82 is hooked on the locking tool 76 of the fastening portion 72, and then the hook 77 is attached to complete the fastening.

In the above description, the embodiment of the present invention has been mainly described. However, various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art.
1) Slots formed in the side portions of the fixing bracket and the length adjusting portion of the fastening band can be omitted, and a larger number of screw holes can be arranged at regular intervals.
2) The fastening band length adjusting portion can be coupled to the side of the fixed bracket from the inside or the outside of the side of the fixed bracket. When connecting outside the side of the fixed bracket, align the screw holes by extending the skirt part horizontally to the lower end of the side of the fixed bracket so that the length adjustment part of the fastening band is guided. Easy to do.

  Therefore, the scope of rights of the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the above-described embodiments, but should be construed according to the claims set forth below.

The perspective view for demonstrating the fixing device which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. The exploded perspective view of the clamp concerning one embodiment of the present invention.
