Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、内部に配線がなされる配線路部材の開口部に被着されるカバーに関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来より、内部に配線がなされる配線路部材の開口部にカバーを被着して配線路を形成するものが用いられている。
【０００３】
配線路部材は、上方に開口する断面略コ字状をした樋状部材で構成され、この樋状部材を直線状に形成したり、平面視において略Ｌ字状，略Ｔ字状，略十字状に形成し、上記配線路部材の上方に開口する開口部をカバーで閉塞するものである。
【０００４】
カバーは、止め部材にて配線路部材に取着固定されるもので、止め部材は、カバーを配線路部材にその開口部を閉塞するように当接させた状態でカバーの更に外側から取着するものである。
【０００５】
しかしながら、このような止め部材は、カバーの外側から配線路部材に取着した際、配線路部材の長手方向に移動し得るものであって位置決めされず、カバーから外れる惧れがあるものであった。
【０００６】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は上記の点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、配線路部材に取着固定するために取付けられる止め部材が移動しないカバーを提供することを課題とするものである。
【０００７】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために本発明に係る配線路部材のカバーは、配線を通すための開口部１０を有する配線路部材１の前記開口部１０を覆うように被着される配線路部材１のカバー２であって、カバー２の端部に長手方向に隣接するカバー２に重なって覆う重なり部４を設け、該カバー２の天面部２１に当接する天片７１と、天片７１から連設されて配線路部材１の側辺部１２に当接する側片７２と、側片７２から連設されて配線路部材１の底辺部１１に当接する底片７３とからなる止め部材７をカバー２の重なり部４の外側から配線路部材１に取付けることで取着固定されるカバー２において、カバー２に止め部材７を位置決めする位置決め部３を設けて成ることを特徴とするものである。このような構成とすることで、重なり部４を設けたことでカバー２の端部を突き合わせるもののように長さ調整のために切断する必要がなくなってカバー２の無駄をなくし且つ省施工とすることができるとともに、カバー２の長さの不揃いや切断端部を隠すことができて美観が向上し、さらに一つの止め部材７を兼用できて止め部材７の使用個数を削減することができ、また、位置決め部３によってカバー２を止める止め部材７が移動してカバー２から外れてカバー２が脱落してしまうのを防止することができる。
【０００９】
また、配線路部材１の交差部の開口部１０を閉塞する閉塞部５を設けることが好ましい。このような構成とすることで、配線路部材１の交差部の型によらず同一のカバー２で開口部１０を閉塞することができる。
【００１０】
また、隣接するカバー２の内面に当接係止される係止部６を閉塞部５に設けることが好ましい。このような構成とすることで、配線路部材１をその開口部１０が下方を向くように配設する場合、上記係止部６が隣接するカバー２の内面に上方より載置される状態となってカバー２を支持することができる。
【００１１】
また、配線路部材１の直線部分に取付けられる直線部用のカバー２ａの長手方向の辺縁より配線路部材１の外側面に当接する延設部２２ａを連設し、配線路部材１の交差部に取付けられる交差部用のカバー２ｂの閉塞部５から上記直線状のカバー２ａの延設部２２ａに側面視でほぼ連続する交差部用延設部２２ｂを連設することが好ましい。このような構成とすることで、配線路部材１の美観が向上するものである。
【００１２】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を添付図面に示す実施形態に基づいて説明する。本発明は、内部に配線がなされる配線路部材１の開口部１０に被着するカバー２であり、配線路部材１とカバー２とについて以下に説明する。
【００１３】
配線路部材１は、図４等に示すように、主体となる直線状の樋形状をした樋状本体１ａと、交差部等の接続部において前記樋状本体１ａを接続する内継手部材１ｂとで構成される。
【００１４】
樋状本体１ａは、図４等に示すように、長尺の板状をした底辺部１１ａと、該底辺部１１ａの両側の長手方向の辺縁よりそれぞれ上方に連設される長尺の板状をした側辺部１２ａとで主体が構成され、長手方向に延びる開口部１０が形成される断面略コ字状の略半角筒状をしたものである。両方の側辺部１２ａの上端縁（即ち底辺部１１ａと反対側の辺縁）は、樋状本体１ａの内部に向けて折返して折返し部１３ａとしてあり、この両折返し部１３ａの先端間が樋状本体１ａの内部と外部とを連通する開口部１０となる。樋状本体１ａの内部には電線等の配線がなされ、開口部１０にはカバー２を被着して閉塞するものである。この樋状本体１ａを接続するのに内継手部材１ｂが用いられる。
【００１５】
内継手部材１ｂは、樋状本体１ａと同様に底辺部１１ｂと側辺部１２ｂとからなる断面略コ字状に形成されるが、この内継手部材１ｂの底辺部１１ｂ及び側辺部１２ｂは上述した樋状本体１ａの底辺部１１ａ及び側辺部１２ａより僅かに小さく形成してあり、内継手部材１ｂの外面が樋状本体１ａの内面に当接し得るように形成してある。このような内継手部材１ｂは、平面視形状が略Ｌ字状，略Ｔ字状，略十字状やあるいは直線状等となるように、中央部から複数方向に枝部が延びるもので、この枝部に樋状本体１ａが接続される。例えば、平面視形状が略Ｌ字状をした内継手部材１ｂ（以下Ｌ型の内継手部材１ｂという）は、図１０に示すように、二本の樋状本体１ａの向く方向が互いに略９０°をなすように接続され、また、平面視略Ｔ字状をしたもの（以下Ｔ型の内継手部材１ｂという）は、図１１に示すように、三本の樋状本体１ａの端部が隣接する端部の向く方向と略９０°をなす方向を向くように接続され、また、平面視略十字状をしたもの（以下十型の内継手部材１ｂという）は、図１２に示すように、四本の樋状本体１ａのそれぞれの端部が隣接する端部の向く方向と略９０°をなす方向を向くように接続され、また、直線状をしたもの（以下直線型の内継手部材１ｂという）は、図１３に示すように、二本の樋状本体１ａを直線状に接続されるものである。
【００１６】
このように、図１０乃至図１２に示すＬ型，Ｔ型，十型等に形成した内継手部材１ｂを用いて樋状本体１ａを接続することで、配線路部材１のそれぞれ平面視略Ｌ字状，略Ｔ字状，略十字状等をした交差部（以下、それぞれＬ型，Ｔ型，十型の交差部という）が形成される。そして、このような交差部、直線部をなす樋状本体１ａ及び内継手部材１ｂとで配線路部材１が構成され、樋状本体１ａ，内継手部材１ｂの底辺部１１ａ，１１ｂ、側辺部１２ａ，１２ｂが配線路部材１の底辺部１１，側辺部１２となる。
【００１７】
次に、配線路部材１に被着されるカバー２について説明する。
【００１８】
カバー２は、図１に示すように、配線路部材１の側辺部１２ａの上端部間に配置されて配線路部材１の開口部１０を覆う板状をした天面部２１で主体が構成されるもので、この天面部２１が配線路部材１の側辺部１２の上端部間に配置されて配線路部材１の開口部１０を覆った状態で、止め部材７をカバー２の外側から配線路部材１に取付けて取着固定するものである。止め部材７は、図４（ａ）に示すように、カバー２の天面部２１ａに幅方向（即ち短手方向）に亘って当接する天片７１と、天片７１の両端縁からそれぞれ連設されて配線路部材１の側辺部１２ａに当接する側片７２と、両方の側片７２の下端部から連設されて樋状本体１ａの底辺部１１ａに当接する底片７３とからなり、本実施形態では金属で形成してある。
【００１９】
またカバー２には、直線部用のカバー２ａと交差部用のカバー２ｂとがある。
【００２０】
直線部用のカバー２ａは、配線路部材１の直線部分に被着されるもので、主に樋状本体１ａと同尺に形成されて樋状本体１ａの開口部１０に被着される。この直線部用のカバー２ａは、樋状本体１ａの開口部１０を覆う天面部２１ａの側端縁から配線路部材１の側辺部１２の外側面に沿って当接する延設部２２ａが連設してある。延設部２２ａは、配線路部材１の側辺部１２の開口部１０側の辺縁近傍にのみ当接する幅狭のものである。
【００２１】
交差部用のカバー２ｂは、配線路部材１のＬ型，Ｔ型，十型の交差部に配設されるものである。配線路部材１の交差部には、上述したように、内継手部材１ｂが配設されるとともに該内継手部材１ｂの枝部に樋状本体１ａが接続してあり、樋状本体１ａには上記直線部用のカバー２ａが取付けてあるが、内継手部材１ｂの中央部の開口部はこの直線部用のカバー２ａの天面部２１ａで閉塞されないものである。そこで、この交差部の開口部を閉塞する閉塞部５を設けた交差部用のカバー２ｂを用いる。
【００２２】
交差部用のカバー２ｂは、交差部の開口部を閉塞する閉塞部５で主体が構成され、本実施形態では閉塞部５から重なり部４が連設される。
【００２３】
閉塞部５は、交差部の開口部（即ち内継手部材１ｂの中央部の開口部）と略同形状の平面視略正方形状をした板状の部材で、直線部用のカバー２ａの天面部２１ａとほぼ面一となるように配設される。重なり部４は、閉塞部５の隣接するカバー（通常は直線部用のカバー２ａ）に隣接する辺縁から連設されるもので、直線部用のカバー２ａの外側に被覆するように重なるべく直線部用のカバー２ａの天面部２１ａとほぼ同幅に形成してある。また重なり部４は、本体となる前述した直線部用のカバー２ａの天面部２１ａに重なる重なり天面部４１と、該重なり天面部４１から連設される重なり延設部４２とで構成され直線部用のカバー２ａと同様の断面形状をしたものであってもよい。この閉塞部５及び重なり部４が交差部用のカバー２ｂにおける天面部２１ｂとなる。このように閉塞部５を設けることで、配線路部材１の交差部において開放される内継手部材１ｂの中央部の開口部を閉塞することができる。また、配線路部材１のＬ型の交差部，Ｔ型の交差部，十型の交差部にそれぞれ専用のカバー（図１８（ａ）乃至（ｃ）参照）を用いる必要が無くなって、図４乃至図９に示すように一つの交差部用のカバー２ｂを上記各交差部に用いることが可能となり、交差部用のカバー２ｂの種類を低減することが可能となる。
【００２４】
なお、このような閉塞部５は、上述したような交差部用のカバー２ｂとしてではなく、直線部用のカバー２ａに設けるものであってもよい。この場合、交差部用のカバー２ｂを用いる必要がなくなって部材点数を低減することができる。
【００２５】
また、重なり部４は、直線部用のカバー２ａの長手方向端部に設けてもよい。このように交差部用のカバー２ｂや直線部用のカバー２ａに重なり部４を設けることで、重なり部４を設けないカバー２を突き合わせる時のように突き合わさる端部を長さ調整するため切断したりする必要がなくなり、カバー２の無駄をなくすとともに切断する手間を省くことが可能となる。また、現場合わせで配線路部材１やカバー２を切断した際も、配線路部材１とカバー２の長さの不揃いを隠すことができると共に、切断端部を隠すことができて美観が向上するものである。
【００２６】
また、この交差部用のカバー２ｂも上述した止め部材７にて配線路部材１に取着固定される。即ち、配線路部材１に取付けた直線用のカバー２ａの外側に交差部用のカバー２ｂの重なり部４を重ねた状態でその更に外側から止め部材７を重なり部４に止めて交差部用のカバー２ｂ及び直線部用のカバー２ａを配線路部材１に取付けるものである。このように、直線部用のカバー２ａと交差部用のカバー２ｂとを配線路部材１に取着固定するのに一つの止め部材７を兼用できて、止め部材７の使用個数を削減することができる。
【００２７】
そして、このようなカバー２には、止め部材７を位置決めする位置決め部３が設けられる。位置決め部３は、図１に示すように、止め部材７の両側端に外側より当接して止め部材７が移動するのを阻止するもので、重なり部４に止め部材７が嵌まり込む切欠３ａとして設けたり（図１（ａ）参照）、又は重なり部４の外面に突設する凸部３ｂとして設ける（図１（ｂ）参照）。このように位置決め部３を設けることで、カバー２を止める止め部材７が移動してカバー２から外れ、カバー２が配線路部材１から脱落してしまうのを防止することができる。また、位置決め部３を設けないカバー２を配線路部材１の端部に取付ける場合のように、止め部材７が移動し得るために止めしろをとるべくカバーが長くなってしまうようなことがない。また更に、止め部材７を位置決めするので少ない個数で確実にカバー２を配線路部材１に取着固定することができる。
【００２８】
また、このような交差部用のカバー２ｂには、側面視において隣接する直線部用のカバー２ａの延設部２２ａにほぼ連続する交差部用延設部２２ｂを設けてもよい。配線路部材１の交差部がＴ型又はＬ型の場合、内継手部材１ｂの側辺部１２ｂは樋状本体１ａの側辺部１２ａと連続して露出する。この時、露出する内継手部材１ｂの側辺部１２ｂに隣接する樋状本体１ａの側辺部１２ａには上端部に直線部用のカバー２ａの延設部２２ａが配置されるため、この延設部２２ａに連続するように交差部用のカバー２ｂの閉塞部５から交差部用延設部２２ｂを設けるものである。このように直線部用のカバー２ａの延設部２２ａにほぼ連続する交差部用延設部２２ｂを設けることで配線路部材１の美観が向上するものである。
【００２９】
また、閉塞部５からは、隣接する直線部用のカバー２ａの天面部２１ａに内面側から当接する係止部６を設けてもよい。このようにすることで、配線路部材１をその開口部１０が下方を向くように配設する場合、上記係止部６が天面部２１の内面に上方より載置される状態となって、該カバー２が止め部材７と隣接するカバー２の２点で支持されることとなって、安定支持が可能となる。
【００３０】
また、上記したカバー２は、開口部１０を覆う天面部２１が略面一状となる配線路部材１に設けるものについて説明したが、天面部２１が直交する配線路部材１に設けてもよいものである。これは、図１４に示すような出隅型の交差部に設けるカバー２ｃや（図１５参照）、あるいは図１６に示すような入隅型の交差部に設けるカバー２ｄである（図１７参照）。これらのものについても、位置決め部３を設けることで、カバー２を止める止め部材７が特に自重によって移動してカバー２から外れ、カバー２が脱落してしまうのを防止することができる。
【００３１】
【発明の効果】
上記のように本発明の請求項１記載の発明にあっては、配線を通すための開口部を有する配線路部材の前記開口部を覆うように被着される配線路部材のカバーであって、カバーの端部に長手方向に隣接するカバーに重なって覆う重なり部を設け、該カバーの天面部に当接する天片と、天片から連設されて配線路部材の側辺部に当接する側片と、側片から連設されて配線路部材の底辺部に当接する底片とからなる止め部材をカバーの重なり部の外側から配線路部材に取付けることで取着固定されるカバーにおいて、カバーに止め部材を位置決めする位置決め部を設けたので、重なり部を設けたことでカバーの端部を突き合わせるもののように長さ調整のために切断する必要がなくなってカバーの無駄をなくし且つ省施工とすることができるとともに、カバーの長さの不揃いや切断端部を隠すことができて美観が向上し、さらに一つの止め部材を兼用できて止め部材の使用個数を削減することができ、また、位置決め部によってカバーを止める止め部材が移動してカバーから外れてカバーが脱落してしまうのを防止することができる。
【００３３】
また請求項２記載の発明にあっては、上記請求項１記載の発明の効果に加えて、配線路部材の交差部の開口部を閉塞する閉塞部を設けたので、配線路部材の交差部の型によらず同一のカバーで開口部を閉塞することができる。
【００３４】
また請求項３記載の発明にあっては、上記請求項２記載の発明の効果に加えて、隣接するカバーの内面に当接係止される係止部を閉塞部に設けたので、配線路部材をその開口部が下方を向くように配設する場合、上記係止部が天面部の内面に上方より載置される状態となってカバーを支持することができる。
【００３５】
また請求項４記載の発明にあっては、上記請求項３記載の発明の効果に加えて、配線路部材の直線部分に取付けられる直線部用のカバーの長手方向の辺縁より配線路部材の外側面に当接する延設部を連設し、配線路部材の交差部に取付けられる交差部用のカバーの閉塞部から上記直線状のカバーの延設部に側面視でほぼ連続する交差部用延設部を連設したので、配線路部材の美観が向上するものである。
