As can be seen from FIGS. 2A and 2B, a large number of peaks 5 are formed on the back surface of the band portion 2 at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction of the band portion 2. Further, the lock part 3 is formed with an insertion hole 6 through which the band part 2 can be inserted, and a peak part that can be engaged with the peak part 5 of the band part 2 inside the insertion hole 6. A movable part 8 having 7 is formed. The movable portion 8 can be elastically displaced in the direction in which the passage sectional area of the insertion hole 6 is enlarged (the left-right direction in FIG. 2A).

  3A and 3B, the band portion 2 shown in FIG. 2A is curved in an annular shape, and the end portion of the band portion 2 opposite to the lock portion 3 is formed with respect to the insertion hole 6 from the lower side of FIG. A state in which the peak portion 5 (two-dot chain line) of the band portion 2 is engaged with the peak portion 7 of the lock portion 3 is shown. As can be seen from FIG. 3, when the band portion 2 is displaced from the bottom of the upper drawing of FIG. 3 with respect to the insertion hole 6, the peak portion 5 of the band portion 2 gets over the peak portion 7 of the lock portion 3. The mountain part 5 and the mountain part 7 are engaged. Under this state, the band portion 2 is displaced from the top to the bottom in FIG. 3 with respect to the lock portion 3 (insertion hole 6) by the contact of the opposing surfaces 5a and 7a of the ridge portions 5 and 7. It is locked so that there is no.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (b), the display unit 4 is wider than the band unit 2 and protrudes from the edge of the band unit 2 in the width direction (vertical direction in FIG. 2 (b)). Part 2 is formed. The display unit 4 includes a plurality of divided bodies 4a, 4b, and 4c that are divided in the extending direction of the band unit 2, and film hinges 10a and 10b that connect the divided bodies 4a, 4b, and 4c. Of the divided bodies 4a, 4b and 4c, information (for example, the connection destination of the flexible pipe 9) is displayed on the surface of the divided body 4b (the upper surface in FIG. 2A) located at the center of the three by painting or the like. Yes.

  The divided body 4a and the divided body 4b are connected by the film hinge 10a provided between them. The film hinge 10a is formed thinner than the divided bodies 4a and 4b and has flexibility. Moreover, the division body 4b and the division body 4c are connected by the said film hinge 10b provided between them. The film hinge 10b is formed thinner than the divided bodies 4b and 4c, and has flexibility. In addition, on the back surface of the divided body 4b in the display unit 4, there are two places, the vicinity of the film hinge 10a and the vicinity of the film hinge 10b, in other words, two places with a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction of the band part 2, Projecting ridges 11 a and 11 b extending in the width direction of the band portion 2 are formed to protrude.

Next, the operation of the display tool 1 will be described.
4 and 5 show how the display 1 is attached to the flexible pipe 9. As shown in FIG. 4, when the display tool 1 is attached to the flexible pipe 9, the back surface (the protruding portions 11 a and 11 b) of the display unit 4 in the display tool 1 is brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the pipe 9. In this state, the band portion 2 is wound around the flexible pipe 9 so as to form an annular shape, and the end portion of the band portion 2 opposite to the lock portion 3 is inserted into the insertion hole 6 of the lock portion 3. Further, by pulling the end portion of the band portion 2 through the insertion hole 6 in the direction away from the flexible pipe 9, the annular band portion 2 tightens the flexible pipe 9, and as shown in FIG. The band portion 2 is locked in a state where the ring is in an annular shape.

  When the band portion 2 that is in an annular shape fastens the flexible pipe 9, the display portion 4 is bent at the film hinges 10a and 10b, and the rigidity of the display portion 4 is increased along with the bending. For this reason, even when the band part 2 that has become an annular shape tightens the flexible pipe 9, even if the part connected to the band part 2 in the display part 4 is pulled toward the center line of the flexible pipe 9 by the band part 2, Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the display unit 4 from being deformed and warping the display unit 4 in the width direction of the band unit 2 as indicated by Y1 in FIG.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when the band portion 2 having an annular shape tightens the flexible pipe 9, the ridge portions 11 a and 11 b formed on the back surface of the display portion 4 so as to extend in the width direction of the band portion 2. However, it contacts the outer peripheral surface of the flexible pipe 9. The position of the display unit 4 is prevented from being displaced with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the flexible pipe 9 by the contact of the protruding portions 11a and 11b with the outer peripheral surface of the flexible pipe 9. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, when the straight line L is extended in the longitudinal direction of the display unit 4, the position of the display unit 4 is such that the straight line L is inclined in the direction of the arrow Y <b> 2 with respect to the center line C of the flexible pipe 9. The deviation is suppressed by the contact of the ridges 11a and 11b (FIG. 5) with the outer peripheral surface of the flexible pipe 9.

According to the embodiment described in detail above, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) When the band part 2 of the display device 1 is annular around the flexible pipe 9 and the pipe 9 is tightened, the display part 4 is warped and the display on the display part 4 becomes difficult to see. Can be suppressed.

  (2) When the display tool 1 is attached to the flexible pipe 9, the degree of bending of the divided body 4b and the divided bodies 4a and 4c in the display unit 4 changes depending on the outer diameter of the flexible pipe 9, whereby the flexible pipe The display tool 1 can be attached to the pipe 9 regardless of the outer diameter of 9.

  (3) When the annular band portion 2 tightens the flexible pipe 9, the protrusions 11 a and 11 b formed so as to extend in the width direction of the band portion 2 come into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the flexible pipe 9. The position of the display unit 4 is prevented from shifting with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the pipe 9 due to the contact. For this reason, the display tool 1 can be stably attached to the flexible pipe 9 without causing the positional shift of the display unit 4, and the display tool 1 can be easily attached.

In addition, the said embodiment can also be changed as follows, for example.
-The protrusion parts 11a and 11b are not restricted to what extends continuously in the width direction of the band part 2, but may extend intermittently.

-At least one of the protrusion part 11a and the protrusion part 11b may be abbreviate | omitted.
-You may make it provide a protrusion part in at least one of the back surface of the division body 4a and the back surface of the division body 4c instead of providing the protrusion parts 11a and 11b in the back surface of the division body 4c.

  -Although the information was displayed on the surface of the display part 4 (divided body 4b) by coating, it may replace with this and may display the said information by the unevenness | corrugation of a surface, or by laser marking. Further, a sticker on which the above information is displayed may be attached to and adhered to the display unit 4 (divided body 4b). In this case, if the seal is placed on the film hinges 10a and 10b, the seal can serve as a substitute for the film hinges 10a and 10b even if the film hinges 10a and 10b are broken.

  Instead of dividing the display unit 4 into the three divided bodies 4a, 4b and 4c, the display section 4 may be divided into two divided bodies and these divided bodies may be connected by a film hinge. For example, the divided body 4c and the film hinge 10b may be omitted, the display unit 4 may be divided into divided bodies 4a and 4b, and the divided body 4a and the divided body 4b may be connected by the film hinge 10a. Further, the divided body 4a and the film hinge 10a may be omitted, and the display unit 4 may be divided into the divided bodies 4b and 4c and the divided body 4b and the divided body 4c may be connected by the film hinge 10b.

-The display part 4 may be divided | segmented into four or more division bodies, and the adjacent division bodies may be connected with a film hinge.
-Although the thing which prevents the lock | rock from the insertion hole 6 of the band part through the engagement of the peak part 5 of the band part 2 and the peak part 7 of the movable part 8 as the lock part 3 was illustrated, it is different You may employ | adopt the lock | rock part which implement | achieves a lock in an aspect. In this case, it is not always necessary to use the band-shaped band portion 2 as the flexible member, and it is also possible to use, for example, a round string-shaped flexible member.

  -Although the flexible pipe 9 was illustrated as an attachment target object of the display tool 1, you may make it attach the display tool 1 to the attachment target objects other than cylindrical shape, for example, the attachment target object which has a polygonal cross section.
