前記基体４は、左右方向にスライド移動自在なスライド体９を備え、このスライド体９に前記挟持体８が回動自在に設けられていて、この挟持体８を有するスライド体９をスライド移動させることにより、前記左右の抱持部６間の間隔を広狭調整し得るように構成されていることを特徴とする請求項１記載のガスメーター固定金具に係るものである。 The holding portion 6 is composed of an extending portion 7 that is provided on the base 4 and is arranged along the piping 2, and a clamping body 8 that is arranged opposite the extending portion 7, and is configured to be switchable between a closed state in which the clamping body 8 and the extending portion 7 clamp the piping 2 in an embracing state to fix the gas meter 1 to the wall surface 3, and an open state in which the clamping body 8 rotates and moves away from the extending portion 7 to allow the extending portion 7 to be arranged along the piping 2.
The gas meter fixing bracket according to claim 1, characterized in that the base 4 is provided with a slide body 9 which is freely slidable in the left and right direction, the clamping body 8 is rotatably mounted on this slide body 9, and the distance between the left and right holding portions 6 can be adjusted by sliding the slide body 9 which has the clamping body 8.

また、前記抱持部６の挟持体８は、この挟持体８若しくは前記スライド体９に締付具10を挿通若しくは螺着することにより前記閉塞状態を保持可能、且つこの閉塞状態で挟持体８若しくはスライド体９から締付具10を取り外すことにより挟持体８を前記開放状態に切替え可能に構成されていることを特徴とする請求項２記載のガスメーター固定金具に係るものである。 The gas meter fixing bracket according to claim 2 is characterized in that the clamping body 8 of the holding part 6 can be held in the closed state by inserting or screwing a fastener 10 into the clamping body 8 or the sliding body 9, and the clamping body 8 can be switched to the open state by removing the fastener 10 from the clamping body 8 or the sliding body 9 in the closed state.

また、前記挟持体８に、締付具10を挿通若しくは螺着可能な第一取付孔11が設けられ、この第一取付孔11と連通させて前記締付具10を螺着若しくは挿通可能な第二取付孔12が前記スライド体９に設けられていて、この第二取付孔12がスライド体９と一緒にスライド移動するように構成され、
このスライド体９と一緒にスライド移動する第二取付孔12と、スライド体９と一緒にスライド移動する前記挟持体８の第一取付孔11とを連通させて、この連通孔部に前記締付具10を挿通若しくは螺着することにより挟持体８を前記閉塞状態に保持可能に構成されていることを特徴とする請求項２，３のいずれか１項に記載のガスメーター固定金具に係るものである。 Further, a first mounting hole 11 into which a fastener 10 can be inserted or screwed is provided in the clamping body 8, and a second mounting hole 12 into which the fastener 10 can be screwed or inserted is provided in the sliding body 9, communicating with the first mounting hole 11, and the second mounting hole 12 is configured to slide together with the sliding body 9,

本発明は上述のように構成したから、壁面にガスメーターを固定でき、しかも左右の抱持部の少なくとも一方を左右方向にスライド移動させて左右の抱持部の対向間隔を広狭調整できるため、ガスメーターは機種によって左右一対の配管の対向間隔が異なるが、どの機種のガスメーターであっても左右一対の配管を左右の抱持部で確実に抱持できて壁面に確固に固定できる極めて実用性に優れたガスメーター固定金具となる。 As the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to fix a gas meter to a wall surface, and at least one of the left and right holding parts can be slid left and right to adjust the distance between the left and right holding parts. Therefore, although the distance between the pair of left and right pipes differs depending on the model of gas meter, the pair of left and right pipes can be securely held by the left and right holding parts regardless of the model of gas meter, resulting in an extremely practical gas meter fixing bracket that can be firmly fixed to the wall surface.

また、請求項２記載の発明においては、ガスメーターの配管を確実に抱持可能であって、且つ左右方向にスライド移動自在な抱持部を簡易構成にして容易に設計実現可能となる一層実用性に優れた構成のガスメーター固定金具となる。 The invention described in claim 2 provides a gas meter fixing bracket that can securely hold the piping of the gas meter and has a simple structure for the holding part that can slide left and right, making it easy to design and realize, resulting in a more practical structure.

また、請求項３，４記載の発明においては、挟持体と沿設部とでガスメーターの配管を抱持状態に挟持する閉塞状態と、挟持体が沿設部から離間回動移動する開放状態とを切り替え可能な前記抱持部を簡易構成にして容易に設計実現可能なガスメーター固定金具となり、特に請求項４記載の発明のように構成した場合には、左右方向にスライド移動自在でありながらどのスライド位置でも前記閉塞状態を保持可能な抱持部を簡易構成にして容易に設計実現可能となる。 In addition, in the inventions described in claims 3 and 4, the gas meter fixing bracket can be easily designed and realized by simply configuring the holding part, which can switch between a closed state in which the clamping body and the lateral portion clamp the gas meter piping in an embraced state, and an open state in which the clamping body rotates away from the lateral portion. In particular, when configured as in the invention described in claim 4, the holding part can be easily designed and realized by simply configuring the holding part, which can slide freely left and right while maintaining the closed state in any sliding position.

本発明の最適な実施形態を、図面に基づいて本発明の作用を示し簡単に説明する。 The optimal embodiment of the present invention will be briefly explained with reference to the drawings, showing the operation of the present invention.

壁面取付部５を介して壁面３に基体４を固定すると共に、左右の抱持部６にガスメーター１の左右一対の配管２を抱持することによりガスメーター１を前記壁面３に固定できる。 The base 4 is fixed to the wall surface 3 via the wall mounting portion 5, and the left and right holding portions 6 hold the pair of left and right pipes 2 of the gas meter 1, thereby fixing the gas meter 1 to the wall surface 3.

また、ガスメーター１は、複数のメーカーが製造を行っていて機種ごとに左右一対の配管２の対向間隔が異なるが、本発明のガスメーター固定金具は、左右の抱持部６の少なくとも一方を左右方向にスライド移動させて左右の抱持部６の対向間隔を広狭調整することができる。 In addition, gas meters 1 are manufactured by multiple manufacturers and the distance between the pair of left and right pipes 2 varies depending on the model, but the gas meter fixing bracket of the present invention can adjust the distance between the left and right holding parts 6 by sliding at least one of the left and right holding parts 6 in the left-right direction.

即ち、本発明のガスメーター固定金具は、どの機種のガスメーター１に対しても対向間隔を広狭調整した左右の抱持部６で左右一対の配管２を確実に抱持できる。 In other words, the gas meter fixing bracket of the present invention can reliably hold a pair of left and right pipes 2 with left and right holding parts 6 whose opposing distance can be adjusted to widen or narrow, regardless of the model of gas meter 1.

本発明の具体的な実施例について図面に基づいて説明する。 Specific examples of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

本実施例は、図２に示したような左右一対の配管２を有するガスメーター１を、家屋などの壁面３に対して固定するガスメーター固定金具であって、壁面３に対して固定可能な壁面取付部５を有する基体４の左右部に、前記ガスメーター１の左右一対の配管２を抱持する抱持部６が設けられている。 This embodiment is a gas meter fixing bracket that fixes a gas meter 1 having a pair of left and right pipes 2 as shown in Figure 2 to a wall surface 3 of a house or the like, and has a holding portion 6 that holds the pair of left and right pipes 2 of the gas meter 1 on the left and right parts of a base 4 having a wall mounting portion 5 that can be fixed to the wall surface 3.

具体的には、本実施例の前記基体４は、図１に示すように、方形金属板が折曲形成されて水平基板部14の前端部に垂下前板部15を有する側面視転Ｌ字状のベース板13と、このベース板13の前記水平基板部14に設けられる前記壁面取付部５と、前記ベース板13の前記垂下前板部15に設けられるスライド体９とから構成されている。 Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the base body 4 in this embodiment is composed of a base plate 13 formed by bending a rectangular metal plate to have an L-shaped base plate 13 having a hanging front plate portion 15 at the front end of a horizontal base plate portion 14, the wall mounting portion 5 provided on the horizontal base plate portion 14 of the base plate 13, and a slide body 9 provided on the hanging front plate portion 15 of the base plate 13.

本実施例の前記壁面取付部５は、金属板が折曲されてスライド板部16の後端部に略垂直方向に立上がる取付板部17を有する側面視略転Ｌ字状の板体で構成されており、前記スライド板部16が、前記ベース板13の水平基板部14上にスライド調整機構18を介して前後方向にスライド調整固定自在に設けられ（載置され）ていて、このスライド調整機構18により前記ベース板13と壁面３との距離が調整可能に構成されている。 The wall mounting portion 5 in this embodiment is composed of a plate body that is roughly L-shaped in side view, with a mounting plate portion 17 that is formed by bending a metal plate and rises roughly vertically from the rear end of the sliding plate portion 16, and the sliding plate portion 16 is provided (placed) on the horizontal base portion 14 of the base plate 13 via a sliding adjustment mechanism 18 so that it can be freely adjusted and fixed in the front-rear direction, and this sliding adjustment mechanism 18 is configured to adjust the distance between the base plate 13 and the wall surface 3.

スライド調整機構18について説明すると、図１に示すように、前記壁面取付部５のスライド板部16の左右二箇所に前後方向に長さを有するスライド長孔19が貫通形成され、この左右のスライド長孔19を通して前記ベース板13の水平基板部14に調整ボルト20が二本螺着されていて、この二本の調整ボルト20を緩めた状態では、この調整ボルト20に対し前記スライド長孔19が前後方向にスライド移動できてベース板13に対し壁面取付部５（スライド板部16）が前後スライド調整移動可能となり、二本の調整ボルト20を締付けることでベース板13に対し壁面取付部５を任意のスライド位置で位置決め固定し得るように構成されている。 Regarding the slide adjustment mechanism 18, as shown in FIG. 1, slide slots 19 having a length in the front-rear direction are formed through two places on the left and right of the slide plate portion 16 of the wall mounting portion 5, and two adjustment bolts 20 are screwed to the horizontal base portion 14 of the base plate 13 through the left and right slide slots 19. When the two adjustment bolts 20 are loosened, the slide slots 19 can slide in the front-rear direction relative to the adjustment bolts 20, and the wall mounting portion 5 (slide plate portion 16) can be adjusted in the front-rear direction relative to the base plate 13. By tightening the two adjustment bolts 20, the wall mounting portion 5 can be positioned and fixed at any slide position relative to the base plate 13.

従って、この左右二箇所の前記スライド長孔19と二本の前記調整ボルト20とからなる前記スライド調整機構18により壁面取付部５がベース板13の左右方向へ移動しようとすることが規制され、二本の調整ボルト20に対する二箇所のスライド長孔19（スライド板部16）のスライド移動によって壁面取付部５がベース板13に対し前後方向へのみスライド移動可能となるように構成されている。 Therefore, the slide adjustment mechanism 18 consisting of the two left and right slide long holes 19 and the two adjustment bolts 20 restricts the wall mounting part 5 from moving left and right relative to the base plate 13, and the wall mounting part 5 is configured to be able to slide only forward and backward relative to the base plate 13 by the sliding movement of the two slide long holes 19 (slide plate part 16) relative to the two adjustment bolts 20.

また、壁面取付部５の前記取付板部17には、この取付板部17を前記壁面３に当接させて壁面３に固定するための固定ボルト22を挿通する挿通孔23が貫通形成されている。 The mounting plate portion 17 of the wall mounting portion 5 has an insertion hole 23 formed therethrough through which a fixing bolt 22 is inserted to abut the mounting plate portion 17 against the wall surface 3 and fix it to the wall surface 3.

本実施例の前記左右の抱持部６は、少なくとも一方が左右方向にスライド移動自在に設けられていて左右の抱持部６間の間隔を広狭調整可能に構成されている。 In this embodiment, at least one of the left and right holding parts 6 is configured to be slidable in the left-right direction, so that the distance between the left and right holding parts 6 can be adjusted.

また、前記抱持部６は、前記基体４に設けられて前記配管２の壁面３側に沿設させる沿設部７と、この沿設部７に対向配設されこの沿設部７とで配管２を挟持する挟持体８とから構成されていて、この挟持体８と前記沿設部７とで前記配管２を抱持状態に挟持して前記ガスメーター１を前記壁面３に固定する閉塞状態と、挟持体８が沿設部７から離間回動移動して沿設部７を配管２に沿設可能な開放状態とを切替え可能に構成されている。 The holding portion 6 is composed of an installation portion 7 that is provided on the base 4 and installed along the wall surface 3 side of the piping 2, and a clamping body 8 that is arranged opposite the installation portion 7 and clamps the piping 2 with the installation portion 7. The holding portion 6 is configured to be switchable between a closed state in which the clamping body 8 and the installation portion 7 clamp the piping 2 in an embraced state to fix the gas meter 1 to the wall surface 3, and an open state in which the clamping body 8 rotates away from the installation portion 7 to allow the installation portion 7 to be installed along the piping 2.

具体的には、前記基体４は、左右方向にスライド移動自在な前記スライド体９を備え、このスライド体９に前記挟持体８が回動自在に設けられていて、この挟持体８を有するスライド体９をスライド移動させることにより、前記左右の抱持部６間の間隔を広狭調整し得るように構成されている。 Specifically, the base 4 is provided with the slide body 9 that can slide left and right, and the clamping body 8 is rotatably mounted on the slide body 9. By sliding the slide body 9 that has the clamping body 8, the distance between the left and right holding parts 6 can be adjusted.

また、本実施例の前記スライド体９は、図１に示すように、前記ベース板13の垂下前板部15の左右幅よりやや短い左右幅を有する横長方形金属板で構成されていて、垂下前板部15後面の左右両端部に重合状態に設けられ、この左右のスライド体９夫々に前記挟持体８が設けられている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the slide body 9 in this embodiment is made of a horizontal rectangular metal plate having a width slightly shorter than the width of the hanging front plate portion 15 of the base plate 13, and is provided in an overlapping state at both the left and right ends of the rear surface of the hanging front plate portion 15, and the clamping body 8 is provided on each of the left and right slide bodies 9.

また、この左右のスライド体９は、夫々の下部にスライドピン24が固定され、このスライドピン24の斜め上方となるスライド体９の内側端部付近には、スライド体９にバーリング加工を施すことにより螺子孔12（雌螺子）が形成されていて、この螺子孔12が第二取付孔12として構成され、この第二取付孔12には、締付具10としての締付ボルト10を着脱自在且つ締緩回動操作可能に螺着し得るように構成されている。 The left and right slide bodies 9 each have a slide pin 24 fixed to the bottom, and near the inner end of the slide body 9, diagonally above the slide pin 24, a screw hole 12 (female screw) is formed by burring the slide body 9. This screw hole 12 is configured as a second mounting hole 12, and the fastening bolt 10 as the fastener 10 can be screwed into this second mounting hole 12 so that it can be attached and detached and can be tightened, loosened, and rotated.

一方、垂下前板部15の左右部の下部寄りには、水平左右方向に長さを有するピンガイド孔25が貫通形成されて、このピンガイド孔25に前記スライドピン24が水平左右方向にスライド移動自在にして抜け止め状態に挿通配設されていると共に、垂下前板部15の中ほどにも水平左右方向に長さを有するガイド孔26が貫通形成されて、このガイド孔26に前記第二取付孔12のバーリング加工による立ち上がり孔縁27が水平左右方向にスライド移動自在に嵌合されている。 On the other hand, near the lower left and right parts of the hanging front plate portion 15, pin guide holes 25 having a length in the horizontal left and right direction are formed through the pin guide holes 25, and the slide pin 24 is inserted into these pin guide holes 25 so as to be freely slidable in the horizontal left and right direction and to be prevented from falling out. At the same time, a guide hole 26 having a length in the horizontal left and right direction is formed through the middle of the hanging front plate portion 15, and a raised hole edge 27 formed by burring the second mounting hole 12 is fitted into this guide hole 26 so as to be freely slidable in the horizontal left and right direction.

すなわち、左右のスライド体９は、ピンガイド孔25にスライドピン24が許容され、且つガイド孔26に立ち上がり孔縁27が許容される範囲内で水平左右方向にスライド移動自在に構成されており、この際、上下二箇所のガイド孔24・25にスライド移動がガイドされることにより、スライド体９が基体４に対し傾く（回転する）ことなく、このスライド体９に設けられている前記挟持体８が配管２取付姿勢を保ったままスライド移動自在となるように構成されている。 In other words, the left and right slide bodies 9 are configured to be freely slidable horizontally left and right within the range in which the slide pin 24 is permitted in the pin guide hole 25 and the rising hole edge 27 is permitted in the guide hole 26. At this time, the slide movement is guided by the two upper and lower guide holes 24 and 25, so that the slide body 9 does not tilt (rotate) relative to the base body 4, and the clamping body 8 provided on this slide body 9 is configured to be freely slidable while maintaining the pipe 2 mounting posture.

また、この左右のスライド体９は、夫々の内側の２／３程度が前記垂下前板部15の後面に重なった状態（図６，図８の状態）から、外方へスライド移動して垂下前板部15の左右両端部より外側の半分程度が表出した状態（図１，図３の状態）までの間水平左右方向に往復スライド移動可能となるように、前記ピンガイド孔25とガイド孔26の形成範囲（孔長）や、スライドピン24と立ち上がり孔縁27の配置等が設定構成されている。 The left and right slide bodies 9 are configured so that they can slide back and forth horizontally from a state in which about two-thirds of their inner sides overlap the rear surface of the hanging front panel portion 15 (as shown in Figs. 6 and 8) to a state in which they slide outward and about half of their outer sides are exposed beyond both left and right ends of the hanging front panel portion 15 (as shown in Figs. 1 and 3), with the formation range (hole length) of the pin guide holes 25 and guide holes 26 and the arrangement of the slide pins 24 and rising hole edges 27 set and configured.

本実施例の前記挟持体８について説明すると、前記ガスメーター１の配管２の所定部位の少なくとも半分程度を被覆可能な略Ｃ字状（平面視半円弧状）に折曲形成された金属板で構成され、この挟持体８の一側端部が、前記スライド体９に設けられている枢着軸部28に上下スライド移動自在にして回動自在に設けられていて、この枢着軸部28を支点に挟持体８が沿設部７に接近回動移動してこの挟持体８と沿設部７とで前記配管２を抱持状態に挟持して前記ガスメーター１を前記壁面３に固定する前記閉塞状態と、挟持体８（の他側端部）が沿設部７から離間回動移動して沿設部７を配管２に沿設可能な前記開放状態とを切替え可能に構成されている。 The clamping body 8 of this embodiment is composed of a metal plate bent into an approximately C-shape (semicircular arc shape in plan view) capable of covering at least half of a predetermined portion of the piping 2 of the gas meter 1, and one side end of the clamping body 8 is provided on a pivot shaft 28 provided on the slide body 9 so that it can slide up and down and rotate freely. The clamping body 8 rotates toward the side portion 7 with the pivot shaft 28 as a fulcrum, and the clamping body 8 and the side portion 7 clamp the piping 2 in an embraced state to fix the gas meter 1 to the wall surface 3, and the other side end of the clamping body 8 rotates away from the side portion 7 so that the side portion 7 can be installed along the piping 2.

また、この左側のスライド体９の左端と、右側のスライド体９の右端に貫通穴29が形成されて、この貫通穴29の外側に隣接する左端縁と右端縁とが前記枢着軸部28として構成されている一方、前記挟持体８の夫々の一側（外側）端部には、外方へ細い帯状に延長突出する延設部が一体的に設けられ、この延設部が前記貫通穴29に挿通された上でカール加工等により前記枢着軸部28に巻付けられる形態の環状帯に形成されていることにより、挟持体８がスライド体９に対し抜け止め状態に設けられていると共に、この挟持体８の延設環状帯が前記枢着軸部28を支点として回動するための回動環30として構成されている（回動環30を介して挟持体８がスライド体９の枢着軸部28に対し回動（水平旋回）自在に設けられている。）。 A through hole 29 is formed at the left end of the left slide body 9 and at the right end of the right slide body 9, and the left and right edges adjacent to the outside of the through hole 29 are configured as the pivot shaft 28. On the other hand, an extension that extends outward in a thin band shape is integrally formed at one (outer) end of each of the clamping bodies 8, and this extension is inserted into the through hole 29 and then formed into an annular band that is wrapped around the pivot shaft 28 by curling or the like, so that the clamping body 8 is prevented from slipping out of the slide body 9, and the extended annular band of the clamping body 8 is configured as a rotating ring 30 for rotating around the pivot shaft 28 as a fulcrum (the clamping body 8 is freely rotated (horizontally turned) around the pivot shaft 28 of the slide body 9 via the rotating ring 30).

また、左右の挟持体８の夫々の他側（内側）端部には、前記第二取付孔12と連通させて前記締付ボルト10を挿通するための丸孔形状の第一取付孔11が設けられ（貫通形成され）ている。 In addition, a first mounting hole 11 with a round hole shape is provided (formed through) at the other (inner) end of each of the left and right clamping bodies 8, which communicates with the second mounting hole 12 and through which the tightening bolt 10 is inserted.

また、本実施例では、前記挟持体８の凹湾曲内面と対向する前記垂下前板部15の前面左右部が、前記沿設部７として構成されていて、左右のスライド体９を前記基体４（前記垂下前板部15）に対し各々内側へスライド移動させた状態（左右の抱持部６同志を近付けて左右の抱持部６間の対向間隔を狭くした状態）では、この沿設部７に前記配管２を沿わせることができ（図６，図８参照）、配管２を沿わせたこの沿設部７に挟持体８を接近回動させることにより、この挟持体８と沿設部７とで前記配管２を抱持状態に挟持して前記ガスメーター１を前記壁面３に固定する前記閉塞状態と、挟持体８を沿設部７から離間回動移動させて沿設部７に配管２を沿設させることが可能な前記開放状態とを切替え可能に構成されている。 In this embodiment, the left and right front portions of the hanging front plate portion 15 that face the concave curved inner surface of the clamping body 8 are configured as the installation portion 7, and when the left and right slide bodies 9 are slid inward relative to the base body 4 (the hanging front plate portion 15) (the left and right holding portions 6 are brought closer to each other to narrow the opposing distance between the left and right holding portions 6), the piping 2 can be aligned along the installation portion 7 (see Figures 6 and 8). By rotating the clamping body 8 close to the installation portion 7 along which the piping 2 is aligned, the clamping body 8 and the installation portion 7 clamp the piping 2 in an embraced state to fix the gas meter 1 to the wall surface 3, and the clamping body 8 can be rotated away from the installation portion 7 to switch between the closed state in which the piping 2 is clamped between the clamping body 8 and the installation portion 7 and the open state in which the piping 2 can be installed along the installation portion 7.

また、この沿設部７を構成する前記垂下前板部15の左右両端部には、外方へ水平細帯状に延長突出する延長沿設部７Ａが一体的に突設（一体成形）されていて、前記スライド体９を前記基体４（前記垂下前板部15）に対し各々外側へスライド移動させてこの延長沿設部７Ａと挟持体８とが対向配置した状態（左右の抱持部６同志を遠ざけて左右の抱持部６間の対向間隔を広くした状態）では、この延長沿設部７Ａに前記配管２を沿わせることができ（図３，図５参照）、配管２を沿わせたこの延長沿設部７Ａに挟持体８を接近回動させることにより、この挟持体８と延長沿設部７Ａとで前記配管２を抱持状態に挟持して前記ガスメーター１を前記壁面３に固定する閉塞状態と、挟持体８を延長沿設部７Ａから離間回動移動させて延長沿設部７Ａに配管２を沿設させることが可能な開放状態とを切替え可能に構成されている。図中符号31は、前記延長沿設部７Ａがスライド移動自在に挿通される貫通ガイドである。 Further, extended longitudinal portions 7A which extend and protrude outward in a horizontal, thin band shape are integrally formed (molded as one piece) on both left and right ends of the hanging front plate portion 15 which constitutes this longitudinal portion 7, and when the slide body 9 is slid outward relative to the base 4 (the hanging front plate portion 15) so that this extended longitudinal portion 7A and the clamping body 8 are disposed opposite each other (the left and right holding portions 6 are moved away from each other to widen the opposing distance between the left and right holding portions 6), the piping 2 can be aligned along this extended longitudinal portion 7A (see Figures 3 and 5). By rotating the clamping body 8 toward the extended longitudinal portion 7A along which the piping 2 is aligned, it is possible to switch between a closed state in which the clamping body 8 and extended longitudinal portion 7A clamp the piping 2 in an embracing state to fix the gas meter 1 to the wall surface 3, and an open state in which the clamping body 8 can be rotated away from the extended longitudinal portion 7A so that the piping 2 can be aligned along the extended longitudinal portion 7A. The reference number 31 in the figure indicates a through guide through which the extension portion 7A is inserted so as to be freely slidable.

さらに具体的には、例えば左右の挟持体８を前記枢着軸部28を介して前記沿設部７若しくは延長沿設部７Ａに接近回動させて前記第一取付孔11と前記第二取付孔12とを連通させ、この連通孔11・12に第一取付孔11側から前記締付ボルト10を挿通し第二取付孔12に螺着して締付けると、沿設部７と挟持体８とで若しくは延長沿設部７Ａと挟持体８とで環状体が形成された前記閉塞状態にでき（図８，図５参照）、この際、締付ボルト10の締付力によりスライド体９も前記垂下前板部15に対して位置決め固定され、この閉塞状態が締付保持されている挟持体８に対し締付ボルト10を緩めて取り外すと、挟持体８を前記開放状態に回動操作し得るように構成されている。 More specifically, for example, the left and right clamping bodies 8 are rotated toward the side portion 7 or the extended side portion 7A via the pivot shaft 28 to communicate the first mounting hole 11 with the second mounting hole 12, and the fastening bolt 10 is inserted into the communication hole 11/12 from the first mounting hole 11 side and screwed into the second mounting hole 12 to be fastened, thereby forming the closed state in which the side portion 7 and the clamping body 8 or the extended side portion 7A and the clamping body 8 form a ring-shaped body (see Figures 8 and 5). At this time, the slide body 9 is also positioned and fixed relative to the hanging front plate portion 15 by the fastening force of the fastening bolt 10, and when the fastening bolt 10 is loosened and removed from the clamping body 8 that is held in this closed state, the clamping body 8 can be rotated to the open state.

このように本実施例は、前記垂下前板部15に対して左右の前記スライド体９が水平左右方向にスライド移動可能（左右の抱持部６間の対向間隔を広狭スライド調整可能）であるので、使用するガスメーター１の左右一対の配管２の対向（隣接）間隔に応じて左右の抱持部６間の間隔を広狭調整可能に構成されている。即ち、ガスメーター１は、機種によって左右一対の配管２の対向間隔が異なるが、本実施例のガスメーター固定金具は、左右一対の配管２の対向間隔が異なるガスメーター１に対しても左右の抱持部６間の間隔調整により対応使用可能に構成されている。 In this manner, in this embodiment, the left and right sliding bodies 9 can slide horizontally left and right relative to the hanging front panel portion 15 (the opposing distance between the left and right holding parts 6 can be adjusted by sliding), so the distance between the left and right holding parts 6 can be adjusted according to the opposing (adjacent) distance between the pair of left and right pipes 2 of the gas meter 1 being used. In other words, although the opposing distance between the pair of left and right pipes 2 differs depending on the model of gas meter 1, the gas meter fixing bracket of this embodiment is configured to be usable with gas meters 1 having different opposing distances between the pair of left and right pipes 2 by adjusting the distance between the left and right holding parts 6.

尚、本実施例では、左右の抱持部６がいずれも水平左右方向にスライド移動可能となるように構成されている場合を示しているが、いずれか一方の抱持部６だけが水平左右方向にスライド移動可能となる構成が採用されていても良い。 In this embodiment, both the left and right holding parts 6 are configured to be slidable horizontally to the left and right, but a configuration in which only one of the holding parts 6 is slidable horizontally to the left and right may also be adopted.

また、本実施例によれば、左右の抱持部６が別々に回動可動する挟持体８を有しているので、左右の配管２に対して夫々個別に調整・施工が可能となる。 In addition, according to this embodiment, the left and right holding parts 6 have clamping bodies 8 that can rotate and move separately, making it possible to adjust and install the left and right pipes 2 separately.

また、左右のスライド体９を前記基体４（前記垂下前板部15）に対し各々最も内側へスライド移動させた状態（左右の抱持部６同志を近付けて左右の抱持部６間の対向間隔を最も狭くした状態）では、ガスメーター１の左右一対の配管２の対向間隔が狭いものに一致し、左右のスライド体９を前記基体４（前記垂下前板部15）に対し各々最も外側へスライド移動させた状態（左右の抱持部６同志を遠ざけて左右の抱持部６間の対向間隔を最も広くした状態）では、ガスメーター１の左右一対の配管２の対向間隔が広いものに一致するように設定することができる。 In addition, when the left and right slide bodies 9 are slid most inward relative to the base 4 (the hanging front plate portion 15) (when the left and right holding parts 6 are brought close to each other and the distance between the left and right holding parts 6 is made the narrowest), the distance between the pair of left and right pipes 2 of the gas meter 1 matches the narrowest, and when the left and right slide bodies 9 are slid most outward relative to the base 4 (the hanging front plate portion 15) (when the left and right holding parts 6 are moved farther apart and the distance between the left and right holding parts 6 is made the widest), the distance between the pair of left and right pipes 2 of the gas meter 1 matches the widest.

尚、本発明は、本実施例に限られるものではなく、各構成要件の具体的構成は適宜設計し得るものである。 The present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and the specific configuration of each component can be designed as appropriate.
