For example, FIGS. 8 to 11 show examples of use of large and small pipes, in which small pipes are shown by solid lines and large pipes are shown by imaginary lines. It is configured to match the angle. The use of the pipe is the same as that of the above-described example, and the description is omitted.

Next, the example of use shown in FIG. 9 is the same as that of FIGS. 5 and 8, except that the middle side is attached to the bottom surface of the base and the short side is erected. Stand in the gap. In this state, the locking members are respectively provided on both side surfaces of the triangular prism body, and the flanges on the left and right side surfaces of the base are held between the middle peripheral surface of the triangular prism body and the respective flange pieces of the locking members. The method of stopping and the method of using the pipe are the same as described above. FIG.
The use example shown in FIG. 0 is a use method similar to that of FIGS. 5 and 8, but in this example, the long side surface is in contact with the bottom surface of the base and the short side surface is provided in the upright gap. A so-called short side surface is provided obliquely. Locking members are provided on both side surfaces of the triangular prism body in this state, and the flanges on the left and right side surfaces of the base are held between the long side surface of the triangular prism body and the respective flange pieces of the locking members. The method of stopping and the method of using the pipe are the same as described above.

The other uses of FIGS. 8 to 10 described in detail above are indicated by phantom lines in each figure. In other words, this is a usage example having a symmetrical relationship such as a triangular prism. According to this use, it is useful for an inclined installation surface having a large vertical clearance as compared with the above-described examples.

The examples shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 show modifications of the locking body. In each of these examples, a locking flange piece of the locking body is inserted into a locking groove formed in a triangular prism. The other uses are the same as those in the above-described examples. Specifically, the locking body has a substantially U-shape, and one of the flange pieces (the surface located on the lower side in FIG. 13; the same applies hereinafter) of the substantially U-shaped locking body is locked. By being inserted into the groove, the locking body is fixed to the triangular prism.
