Description

In the present invention, when assembling a frame material such as a garden support or a vinyl house, a portion where the support and the frame material are orthogonal or intersect at an arbitrary angle is fixed easily and reliably. It is a fixed clip that can be framed and easily removed.

In horticulture, when cultivating cucumbers, etc., in order to convey the growing vines, in general, a strut with a diameter of 8 mm to 20 mm is set up on the soil and the crossing portion of a plurality of struts is tied with a string or wire to form a framework. Therefore, it took time and effort to bind.

In order to simplify this troublesome tying work, "post fixing clips" (for example, refer to Patent Document 1), "frame material assembly fasteners" (for example, refer to Patent Document 2), and the like have been proposed. . On the other hand, when assembling a vinyl house or the like, generally, a metal frame member having a diameter of 22 mm to 48.6 mm is used as a framework, but in order to fix it, a “wedge for fixing an aggregate of a vinyl house” ( For example, see Patent Document 3).

The “post fixing clip” described in Patent Document 1 includes three holding pieces for holding the post, and one of them is formed at right angles to the other two pieces, and these holding pieces are orthogonal to each other. Each column is clamped and fixed. The “frame material assembly fastener” described in Patent Document 2 is formed by bending a metal wire such as iron into a vertically long inverted U-shape to form a vertical frame material fastening portion, and further bending the middle portion of the inverted U-shaped side. A horizontal frame material tightening portion is formed, and the vertical and horizontal frame material tightening portions are hung and fixed to respective orthogonal columns. The “wedge for fixing the aggregate of a vinyl house” described in Patent Document 3 is a substantially U-shaped bracket in which a support member holding portion curved at the center is formed, and extends from the lower side of both side walls to the approximate center of the side wall. , An engagement notch into which the beam material is inserted is formed, and a bent portion is formed inward at the lower end of both side wall portions, and the beam material is fixed by driving a wedge between the beam material and the bent portion. To do.

The "post fixing clip" described in Patent Literature 1, the "frame material assembly fastener" described in Patent Literature 2, and the "binary house aggregate fixing wedge" described in Patent Literature 3 fix the post and the frame material. Both are easy to handle and simplify the work, but the direction in which the two struts or the two frame members are engaged is fixed at 90 degrees and intersects at right angles. Since it can only be used for the framework, instability remains as a framework.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is that not only when two struts or two frame members are orthogonal to each other but also when they cross each other at an arbitrary angle, An object of the present invention is to provide a fixing clip that can form a stable frame and is easy to handle.

The fixing clip of the present invention includes a first side, a main body portion including a second side that is continuous with the first side at a predetermined angle, and a first side that is continuous with the first side. A first hook extending in a direction perpendicular to a plane formed by a side and the second side; and a first hook continuous to the second side and perpendicular to the plane, Is composed of a second hook extending in the opposite direction.

The first hook has a substantially U-shape that is bent in the opposite direction with respect to the second side, and the tip end of the second hook is in the opposite direction with respect to the first side. It has a curved, approximately J-shaped shape,

Further, the plane formed by the first hook forms a predetermined angle with respect to the first side, and the plane formed by the second hook forms a predetermined angle with respect to the second side. ,

The first hook is formed so that a tip thereof is bent in the direction of the first side.

The fixing clip uses the elasticity of the metal wire used as a material, such as a gardening support having a diameter of 8 mm to 20 mm intersecting at an orthogonal or arbitrary angle, a vinyl house having a diameter of 22 mm to 48.6 mm, etc. A metal frame (hereinafter referred to as a support) is pressed and fixed.

When the fixing clip is used, the first hook is hung on one of two struts that intersect at right angles or at an arbitrary angle, the main body is brought into contact with the diagonal of the intersecting portion, and the By bending the second side in the direction of the column that hangs the first hook, the crossing portion is pressed at the bent portion of the main body, and the column that hangs the first hook The two hooks are hooked to fix the columns, and the fixed state is maintained.

  At this time, the frictional force between the main body part and the pillar in contact with the main body part, and the frictional force between the pillars intersecting at right angles or at an arbitrary angle, caused by the pressing force exerted on the pillar by the fixed clip, And the frictional force between the second hook and the support straddling the second hook generated by the reaction force against the pressing force of the main body, and the resistance of the first hook against the strut hanging it Because of the force, the columns can be fixed easily and securely.

  Further, by making the radius of curvature of the bent portion of the main body portion larger than the radius of the support column with which the bent portion abuts, the contact between the bent portion and the support column becomes a point contact, and the fixed clip is centered on the contact point. Relative rotation is possible between the support columns. For this reason, it can be fixed not only when the struts are orthogonal to each other but also when intersecting at an arbitrary angle, and a stable and solid framework can be formed.

  Further, when the fixing clip is used, since the resistance force due to the first hook which is one of the elements of the fixing force of the fixing clip is large, the strength of the fixing force is directional, It is large in the axial direction of the strut on which the first hook is hung, and is about 1/3 of that in the axial direction of the other strut. Therefore, when the fixing clips are used, if two pieces are used as one set, a stronger and more reliable fixing force can be obtained.

In addition, the fixing clip requires a required fixing force depending on the diameter of the support column and the size of the frame, and depending on the fixing force, the material has a strong elasticity in the range of 1.2 mm to 5.0 mm in diameter. A metal wire is used, and a piano wire, a hard steel wire, a carbon steel oil temper wire for spring, a silicon manganese steel oil temper wire for spring, or a stainless steel wire for spring is used as a material.

When the present invention is used, since a frame at an arbitrary angle is possible in the case of the support frame, the instability in the case of the orthogonal frame is eliminated, and a stable and reliable frame can be formed.

  Moreover, since it is easy to handle, the time and labor required for the frame or removal work can be greatly reduced as compared with the conventional method of tying the frame with a string or wire.

  Furthermore, since the resilience of the fixing clip is also suppressed by the hook portion, it can be handled safely without being flipped.
