Description

  The present invention relates to a wire gripper capable of suspending an article at an arbitrary position of two wires, and an article suspension system using the wire gripper. In particular, the present invention relates to a wire gripper or the like that can suspend a relatively heavy article so as not to rotate around the wire as an axis and to look good.

  In a show window of a clothing store or the like, clothes are sometimes displayed on a mannequin suspended from a ceiling or the like by a wire. Since such a mannequin is relatively heavy, a strand wire having a diameter (1.5 to 2.5 mm) larger than the diameter of a wire for hanging a general hanger or the like is used.

  However, when a heavy article is hung with a single wire, the wire is twisted and the article rotates around the wire, and the article cannot be displayed properly in front. Arise. This is mainly due to the use of twisted wires for the wires. That is, if a heavy article is suspended by a single strand, the twisted wire is twisted in the direction of loosening. The twist angle is approximately proportional to the wire tension (i.e., the weight of the article to be hung). Therefore, as a method of suspending the article without rotating the wire around the axis even if the wire of the twisted wire is used, a method of suspending a weight for weight adjustment at the lower end of the wire, or two articles A method of hanging with a wire is taken.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a state in which a mannequin is suspended by a conventional method.
FIG. 11A is an example in which a weight D for weight adjustment is suspended from the lower end of a wire W from which a mannequin F is suspended. The weight D is 3 kg as an example. By hanging such a weight D, the wire W of the twisted wire is pulled and tensioned in the vertical direction, so that the twist of the twisted wire can be stabilized to a certain degree.

  FIG. 11B shows an example in which the mannequin P is suspended by two wires W. Two wire grippers 100 are attached to the neck portion of the mannequin P side by side in the front-rear direction. And the lower end of the wire W is connected to each of these wire grippers 100. The upper ends of the wires W are connected to the wire fasteners 101, respectively. Each wire fastener 101 is connected to parallel rails 103 laid on the ceiling.

  When two wires W are used in this way, a flat surface is formed by the upper ends (fasteners 101) and the lower ends (grippers 100) of the two wires W. By forming such a plane, the twist of the twisted wire of each wire W is restricted, and the article can be suspended so as to hardly rotate about the wire as the axis.

However, in the example using the weight D shown in FIG. 11 (A), the weight D hangs below the mannequin P, so that it does not look good. Further, the load applied to the wire W, the wire fastener to which the upper end of the wire W is connected, and the rail to which the fastener is connected is increased by the weight.
Moreover, the example which uses the two wires W shown in FIG. 11 (B) also looks bad and requires two wire grippers 100, which makes it feel a little messy. In addition, when it is desired to change the hanging height of the article, two wire grippers 100 including a gripper mechanism that can be locked at an arbitrary position of the wire W are required. In this case, since one gripper is locked at an arbitrary position along the wire, the other gripper is slid and locked at the same position, so that the usability is poor.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has a grip function that can be locked at an arbitrary position of two wires, without rotating a heavy article around the wire as an axis. It aims at providing the wire gripper which can be hung.

  The wire gripper of the present invention comprises: (a) an inner sleeve having the following (a), (c); (a) two wire through holes through which each of the two wires is inserted; Two ball-set holes facing each other in pairs, each opening in both the inner surface of the through-hole and the sleeve outer-periphery surface, (c) A tapered outer-periphery surface formed on the outer periphery of the sleeve where the ball-set hole exists Four balls that fit into the ball set hole and partially protrude into the wire through hole and are pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the wire, each of which is held by a set of three of them And an outer sleeve having a tapered inner peripheral surface that contacts the tapered outer peripheral surface of the inner sleeve and pushes the ball inward, and the inner sleeve is disposed on the outer sleeve. Characterized by comprising a spring for biasing the Tsubomari direction over path outer peripheral surface.

  Since one wire gripper grips two wires, there is no need to hang an article using two grippers as in the prior art. For this reason, the appearance is improved, and the work of attaching the wire gripper and the work of changing the hanging position of the article are simplified. As described above, when a twisted wire is used, if the article is suspended with a single wire, the twist angle of the twisted line changes considerably depending on the weight of the article. Although there was a problem that it was difficult to point, this problem is improved by using the wire gripper of the present invention. In addition, by using this wire gripper, it is possible to suspend the panel or shelf so as not to swing in the front-rear direction even if only one gripper is attached to each suspension point.

In the present invention, the four balls are composed of two relatively large-diameter large balls forming one opposing pair, and two relatively small-diameter small balls forming one opposing pair, If the diameter ratio of both balls is around 3: 2, two wires can be held with a stable force near the center of the wire through hole.
By adopting such a configuration, the diameter of the wire that can be gripped and the outer diameter size of the gripper are the same as those of the conventional wire gripper that grips one wire, so that the outer sleeve is compatible.

In the present invention, the tip of the inner sleeve protrudes from the end of the tapered inner peripheral surface of the outer sleeve in the constriction direction, and the taper inner peripheral surface is attached to the protruding inner sleeve tip and extends outward. It is preferable to provide a wire guide cap having a wire through hole in which is formed.
At this time, the wire guide cap can also serve as a lock mechanism for locking the wire.

  By attaching the wire guide cap to the tip of the inner sleeve, the wire can be locked in a grip state, and the inner sleeve can be prevented from being inadvertently pressed against the outer sleeve. Also, when connecting the upper end or lower end of each of the two wires gripped by the gripper to a fastener attached at a distant position, the two wires extend separately from the gripper to the left and right. Go. The curved shape of the wire on the inner sleeve exit side is desirable, and it is desirable to smoothly perform the operations of releasing the wire grip and feeding / retracting. Therefore, by attaching a wire guide cap to the tip of the inner sleeve and forming an inner peripheral surface extending outward in the wire guide cap, these separately extending wires can be guided into a smooth curved shape. . In addition, since the wire bends smoothly, it is difficult for the wire to become hazy.

The article suspension system of the present invention is a system for suspending an article with a wire, and includes the wire gripper described above connected to the article, and two wires gripped by the wire gripper. It is characterized by that.
A heavy article such as a mannequin or an article having various weights can be hung in a desired direction. In addition, the panels and shelves can be suspended so as not to swing in the front-rear direction.

The lower end portion of the wire gripper is connected to the upper end of the wire gripper, and the upper end of each wire is fastened to a fixed portion such as a ceiling.

  In this invention, it is preferable that the suspension part is provided in two places where the said exhibit was distant, and the said wire gripper is attached to each suspension part. In this case, it is possible to further reduce the left-right shaking of the exhibit and the rotation around the central axis of the wire.

And both ends of the wire gripper are inserted into the wire through-hole, and a loop-shaped wire extending from the gripper and connecting between the fixed objects is provided.

  Since the loop length of the loop-shaped wire can be easily changed, the suspended position (height) and tension of the fixed object can be easily adjusted. In addition, even if it uses the gripper which can grip one wire, the length of a wire can be adjusted. However, when this grip is used, a fastener or a gripper is required for fixing or attaching both ends of the wire to a fixed object (floor or ceiling) or a fixed object in advance. That is, two grippers and fasteners for gripping or fixing both ends of the wire are required. However, by using a wire gripper capable of gripping two wires, it is sufficient to provide a loop engaging portion such as a hole for passing the wire through the fixed object, and only one gripper is required. Furthermore, the design of the object to be fixed can be expanded, and the degree of freedom of the attachment method can be obtained.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
1A and 1B are diagrams showing a structure of a wire gripper according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1A is a longitudinal sectional view, and FIG. 1B is a plan view.
2A and 2B are diagrams showing the structure of the inner sleeve of the wire gripper of FIG. 1, FIG. 2A is a plan view, and FIG. 2B is a front view.
FIGS. 3A and 3B are diagrams for explaining the gripping action of the wire gripper of FIG. 1. FIG. 3A is a partial cross-sectional view, and FIG. 3B is a partial vertical cross-sectional view.
The wire gripper 1 includes an inner sleeve 10, four balls 31 and 33 (see FIG. 3A) held in the inner sleeve 10, and an outer sleeve 40 having a hollow hole in which the inner sleeve 10 is accommodated. And a spring 60 that urges the inner sleeve 10 against the outer sleeve 40.

First, the structure of the inner sleeve 10 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. The inner sleeve 10 may be called a “pin”.
The inner sleeve 10 is formed with two wire through holes 11 through which each of two wires (diameter 1.2 to 1.5 mm) is passed. Each wire through hole 11 extends in parallel to the central axis at a position equidistant from the central axis (vertical axis) of the inner sleeve 10. The inner diameters of the wire through holes 11 are equal and uniform in the length direction (vertical direction in the figure). In this example, the diameter of the wire through hole 11 is 1.8 mm, and the distance between the centers of the holes 11 is about 2.5 mm (the distance from the inner sleeve central axis is 1.25 mm).

  The inner sleeve 10 includes, in order from the top, a cylindrical upper portion 13, a conical portion 15 having a tapered outer peripheral surface 15 a extending from the bottom to the top, and a cylindrical central portion continuous to the lower end of the conical portion 15. 17 and a cylindrical lower portion 19 having a smaller diameter than the central portion 17.

  Between the conical portion 15 and the central portion 17 of the inner sleeve 10, ball set holes 21 are formed that open to both the outer peripheral surface of the same portion and the two wire through holes 11. Each ball set hole 21 extends in a direction (radial direction) orthogonal to the hole axis of the wire through hole 11, and the hole axis of each hole is at the same height position of the inner sleeve 10. The hole includes two large-diameter holes 21L that form a pair with respect to the central axis of the inner sleeve 10 and two small-diameter holes 21S that form a pair. The small-diameter hole pair 21S opens into these holes from the direction in which the wire through holes 11 are arranged. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, one small diameter hole 21S-1 opens to one wire through hole 11-1, and the other small diameter hole 21S-2 opens to the other wire through hole 11-2. . On the other hand, the large-diameter hole pairs 21L-1 and 21L-2 open to both the wire through holes 11-1 and 11-2 from the direction orthogonal to the direction in which the wire through holes 11 are arranged.

  Therefore, one wire through hole 11-1 is open to one small diameter hole 21S-1 and two large diameter holes 21L-1, 21L-2, and the other wire through hole 11-2 is connected to the other. The small diameter hole 21S-2 and the two large diameter holes 21L-1 and 21L-2 are opened.

  Actually, the small-diameter hole pair 21S and the large-diameter hole pair 21L penetrate the inner sleeve 10 so that the directions orthogonal to the central axis of the inner sleeve 10 are orthogonal to each other. That is, in the portion of the inner sleeve 10 where the small-diameter hole pair 21S and the large-diameter hole pair 21L are formed, there is no wall separating the two wire through holes 11, but a hollow portion in which both the holes 11 communicate with each other.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, a large-diameter ball 31 is fitted in each large-diameter hole 21L, and a small-diameter ball 33 is fitted in each small-diameter hole 21S. The diameter of each hole is a dimension plus α (for example, 0.1 mm) to the diameter of each ball, and the balls 31 and 33 are rotatable in each hole 21 and are movable in the hole axis direction. The length of each hole 21 is slightly shorter than the diameter of the balls 31 and 33. The diameter of each ball will be described later.

  The outer sleeve 40 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and is formed with a hollow hole that passes through the central axis (vertical direction). The upper portion 41 of the hollow hole portion is a tapered inner peripheral surface 41 a tapered from the bottom to the top, and the lower portion 43 is an inner peripheral surface having an equal diameter along the central axis of the outer sleeve 40. In this example, the diameter of the inner peripheral surface of the lower hollow hole 43 is 9.2 mm. A screw 45 is formed in substantially the lower half of the inner peripheral surface of the lower hollow hole 43. A spring retainer 49 passed through the opening of the lower hollow hole 43 is screwed into the screw 45. A hole 51 through which the lower part 19 of the inner sleeve 10 passes is formed in the center of the spring retainer 49.

The spring 60 is inserted into the lower portion 19 of the inner sleeve 10 and is disposed between the lower surface of the central portion 17 of the inner sleeve 10 and the spring retainer 49. The spring 60 urges the inner sleeve 10 upward with respect to the outer sleeve 40 (spring retainer 49) so that the tapered outer peripheral surface 15 a of the inner sleeve 10 is inscribed in contact with the tapered inner peripheral surface 41 a of the outer sleeve 40. Yes. At this time, the outer surface of each ball fitted in each ball set hole 21 of the inner sleeve 10 is in contact with the tapered inner peripheral surface 41 a of the outer sleeve 40.
When the inner sleeve 10 is pushed downward (in the direction of the spring retainer 49) against the urging force of the spring 60, the inner sleeve 10 is pushed into the outer sleeve 40.

  When the inner sleeve 10 is accommodated in the hollow hole portion of the outer sleeve 40, the upper portion 13 of the inner sleeve 10 protrudes from the opening of the upper hollow hole portion 41 of the outer sleeve 40. The tapered outer peripheral surface 15 a of the conical portion 15 of the inner sleeve 10 is inscribed in the tapered inner peripheral surface 41 a of the upper hollow hole portion 41 of the outer sleeve 40. The lower portion 19 of the inner sleeve 10 passes through the hole 51 of the spring retainer 49.

Next, the wire gripper action of the wire gripper 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
In FIG. 3, the solid line indicates a state in which the tapered outer peripheral surface 15 a of the inner sleeve 10 is inscribed in the tapered inner peripheral surface 41 a of the outer sleeve 40, and the chain line indicates the tapered outer peripheral surface 15 a of the inner sleeve 10. The state away from the taper inner peripheral surface 41a is shown.

  When the inner sleeve 10 is urged upward by the spring 60 with respect to the spring retainer 49 and the tapered outer peripheral surface 15a of the inner sleeve 10 is inscribed in the tapered inner peripheral surface 41a of the outer sleeve 40, the solid line in FIG. As shown by, each ball 31, 33 fitted in each ball set hole 21 is pushed by the tapered inner peripheral surface 41 a of the outer sleeve 40, and the inside protrudes into the wire through hole 11.

  When inserting the wire W into the wire gripper 1, the inner sleeve 10 is pushed in the direction of the spring retainer 49 against the urging force of the spring 60. Then, the inner sleeve 10 moves in a direction in which the diameter of the tapered inner peripheral surface 41a of the outer sleeve 40 increases, and a gap is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the central portion 17 of the inner sleeve 10 and the tapered inner peripheral surface 41a of the outer sleeve 40. it can. Then, the balls 31 and 33 in each ball set hole 21 formed in the central portion 17 can move in the gap direction, that is, in the outward direction, as indicated by arrows in FIG.

  In this state, the wire W is inserted into each wire through hole 11 of the inner sleeve 10. When the wire W advances through the wire through hole 11 to the ball set hole 21, the balls 31 and 33 can move outward, so that each ball is pushed outward by the outer surface of the wire W. As a result, the wire through hole 11 is opened, and the wire W penetrates the hole 11.

  After the gripper 1 is slid along the wire W by a desired length, the force for pushing the inner sleeve 10 toward the spring retainer 49 is released. Then, the inner sleeve 10 is urged by the spring 60 and moves in a direction in which the tapered inner peripheral surface 41a of the outer sleeve 40 becomes narrower (upward in FIG. 3B). The balls 31 and 33 are pressed inward by the tapered inner peripheral surface 41a, and each ball protrudes into the wire through hole. As a result, one wire W is sandwiched and gripped by two large-diameter balls 31 and one small-diameter ball 33.

Next, the positional relationship between the diameter of each ball and the wire through hole, and the grip force of the ball will be described.
First, the diameter of each ball will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a method of geometrically obtaining the diameter of each ball.
FIG. 4 shows a state in which a pair of large-diameter balls 31 are in contact, each of the small-diameter balls 33 is in contact with two large-diameter balls, and each of the balls 31 and 33 is inscribed in one circle C1. . At this time, since the line passing between the centers of the large-diameter balls 31 and the line passing between the centers of the small-diameter balls 33 are orthogonal, the contact point P1 of the pair of large-diameter balls 31 and the center point P2 of the large-diameter balls 31 Considering a triangle connecting the center point P3 of the small-diameter ball 33 and calculating the diameter of the large-diameter ball 31 as a and the diameter of the small-diameter ball 33 as ax, x is 2/3. That is, the ratio of the diameter of the large-diameter ball 31 to the diameter of the small-diameter ball 33 is 3: 2. The diameter a of the large-diameter ball 31 is ½ of the radius of the circle C1.
Note that the state shown in FIG. 4 is a state in which the balls 31 and 33 have moved to the innermost side in the ball set holes 21 and are not in a state where the actual gripping of the wire is considered.

  In this example, assuming that the diameter of the circle C1 is 8 mm and the diameter of each ball is obtained by the above-described method, the diameter of the large-diameter ball 31 is about 4 mm and the diameter of the small-diameter ball 33 is about 2.6 mm. Actually, the diameter of the large-diameter ball 31 is 4 mm, and the diameter of the small-diameter ball 33 is 2.5 mm. The reason why the diameter of the small-diameter ball 33 is about 0.1 mm smaller than the geometrically required diameter is that it is a ball dimension that is easily available on the market.

Next, a state where the wire is gripped with the ball having the diameter obtained above will be described.
As described above, the wire W is sandwiched and gripped by the two large-diameter balls 31 and the one small-diameter ball 33. At this time, it is preferable that the wire W is pressed against the center of the wire through-hole 11 with a substantially equal force from a substantially equal direction with respect to the center of the wire W. For this purpose, the center of the wire through hole 11 is preferably positioned at the center of a circle C2 circumscribing three balls (two large diameter balls and one small diameter ball) in FIG. In addition, the diameter of the wire through-hole 11 is a dimension added to the diameter (1.2-1.5 mm) of the wire W plus alpha.

  3B, when the tapered outer peripheral surface 15a of the inner sleeve 10 is inscribed in the tapered inner peripheral surface 41a of the outer sleeve 40, the balls 31, 33 are connected to the inner peripheral surface. It is pushed and gripped by the portion that is pushed by 41 a and protrudes into the wire through hole 11. At this time, the portion of the wire W pressed by each ball is elastically deformed. This elastically deformable portion (the portion indicated by hatching in FIG. 3A, the area of the portion where each ball protrudes into the wire through-hole 11, and the tightening allowance) is an appropriate value that does not unravel or break the winding line. It is set to become.

  In addition, when the diameter of each ball 31, 33 and the position of the wire through hole 11 are set as described above, each ball moves inward in the ball set hole 21 (direction in which the wire W is gripped). In addition, each ball can protrude from the center of the wire through hole 11 by a substantially equal amount from a substantially uniform direction.

  When described in more detail with reference to FIG. 3, as described above, two large diameter holes 21 </ b> L and one small diameter hole 21 </ b> S are opened in one wire through hole 11. Two large-diameter balls 31 and one small-diameter ball 33 are pressed against the wire. For example, in FIG. 3A, two large-diameter balls 31-1 and 31-2 and one small-diameter ball 33-1 are included in the wire passed through one of the wire through holes 11-1. It is being pressed. At this time, when viewed in a plan view, as shown in FIG. 3A, the angle at which the three balls 31-1, 31-2, 33-1 protrude with respect to the center of the wire through hole 11-1 is almost equal. The areas of the protruding portions (shown by hatching in FIG. 3A) are also substantially equal. That is, since the wire passed through the hole 11-1 is pressed against the center of the wire with a substantially equal force from a substantially equal direction, the wire is placed at the center of the wire through-hole 11-1. Can be pinched.

  To release the gripping force, the inner sleeve 10 is pinched with one finger and the outer sleeve 40 is pinched with the other finger. The inner sleeve 10 is pushed in the direction of the spring retainer 49 against the urging force of the spring 60. Then, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 3, the inner sleeve 10 moves in a direction in which the diameter of the taper inner peripheral surface 41 a of the outer sleeve 40 increases, and the outer peripheral surface of the central portion 17 of the inner sleeve 10 and the taper of the outer sleeve 40. A gap is formed between the inner peripheral surface 41a and the inner peripheral surface 41a. Then, the balls 31 and 33 in each ball set hole 21 formed in the central portion 17 move in the direction of this clearance, that is, outward as indicated by the arrows in FIG.

  As described above, when the balls 31 and 33 move outward in the ball set hole 21, the balls 31 and 33 are separated from the wire, and the force that grips the wire is lost. Or the same power becomes weaker. Then, the wire can freely slide in the vertical direction in the wire through hole 11. In addition, since the balls 31 and 33 are rotatably fitted in the respective ball set holes 21, friction between the balls 31 and 33 and the wire during wire sliding is small, and each wire passes through each wire through hole 11. Can slide smoothly.

  After the gripper 1 is slid along the wire by a desired length, the force to push the inner sleeve 10 toward the spring retainer 49 is released. Then, the inner sleeve 10 is urged by the spring 60, and the tapered outer peripheral surface 15a of the inner sleeve 10 is inscribed in contact with the tapered inner peripheral surface 41a of the outer sleeve 40, and the balls 31, 33 pressed by the tapered inner peripheral surface 41a. The wire is gripped.

FIG. 5 is a view showing a state in which a mannequin is suspended using the wire gripper of FIG. 1.
One hollow male screw 111 protrudes and is fixed to the neck portion of the mannequin F. The wire gripper 1 of FIG. 1 is attached to the mannequin F by screwing the screw 45 of the lower hollow hole 43 of the outer sleeve 40 into the male screw 111 of the mannequin F. Two wires W are passed through the wire gripper 1 and gripped. The lower end of each wire W extends from the lower end of the gripper 1 into the mannequin F. Each wire W extends upward from the gripper 1 so as to be divided into left and right sides, and has an upper end connected to the wire fastener 101. These wire fasteners 101 are slidably connected to rails 103 laid on the ceiling. That is, each upper end (fastener 101) and each lower end (each wire through hole 11 of the gripper 1) of the two wires W form one plane, and the mannequin F does not rotate around the wire W as an axis. Can be hung. Note that the lower ends of the two wires W are separated only by the width between the wire through holes 11 of the wire gripper 1, but the effect of restricting twisting of the twisted wire of the wires W is sufficiently exhibited.

  When the mannequin F is suspended from the wire gripper 1 as described above, the outer sleeve 40 screwed with the male screw 111 of the mannequin F is pulled downward by its own weight. Then, the taper inner peripheral surface 41a of the outer sleeve 40 moves in a direction in which the taper outer peripheral surface 15a of the inner sleeve 10 expands, and the force for pushing the balls 31 and 33 inward becomes stronger. That is, when the article is suspended from the wire gripper 1, the grip force is further increased.

As described above, even when the article is heavy or it is necessary to suspend the article with two wires in order to prevent rotation around the wire axis, only one wire gripper 1 is used. The article can be hung with two wires. In this case, the article can be hung with good appearance as compared to the example shown in FIG. 11B using two wire grippers. Further, since the gripper 1 can be slid simultaneously on the two wires W by only one operation (operation of pushing the inner sleeve 10 against the outer sleeve 40), the hanging position of the article can be easily changed. .
Furthermore, when a wire gripper with a wire guide cap, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 12, is used, operability and designability are improved.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing another example of use of the wire gripper of FIG.
In this example, the panel P is hung using the wire gripper 1. Male screws (not shown) are fixed near both ends of the upper edge of the panel P, and female screws 45 of the outer sleeve 40 of the wire gripper 1 are screwed into the male screws. One of the two wires W gripped by each wire gripper 1 extends straight upward and is connected to one wire fastener 105, and the other extends obliquely upward to the other wire fastener. It is connected to the tool 105. As the wire fastener 105, the wire gripper 1 can also be used. By suspending the panel P in this way, the panel P can be suspended so as not to swing in the left-right direction in the figure. For example, when a panel is suspended with two wires, the panel is likely to swing in the left-right direction in the figure. However, in this example, the left and right shakes are suppressed by the wires extending diagonally, and thus are not easily shaken in the left and right directions. By using this wire gripper 1, only one gripper grips the ends of the two wires. Further, the position of the panel P can be easily changed.
Also in this example, when a wire gripper with a wire guide cap described later with reference to FIG. 12 is used, the operability and the design are improved.

FIG. 7 is a view showing another example of use of the wire gripper of FIG.
In this example, the wire gripper 1 is used to create a loop with the wire W. Both ends of the wire W curved in a loop shape are inserted into the same hole from the upper end of each wire through hole 11 of the wire gripper 1 and are gripped by the gripper 1. By sliding the wire W with respect to the gripper 1, the size of the loop can be changed.

8A and 8B are views showing the structure of a wire gripper according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 8A is a front sectional view, FIG. 8B is a plan view, and FIG. 8C is a side view. FIG.
A shelf receiver 80 is attached to the wire gripper 1 'to hold the shelf horizontally at an arbitrary height of the wire. The gripper 1 ′ has the same configuration and function as the wire gripper of FIG. 1, but the shape of the outer sleeve 70 is different.

The outer sleeve 70 has a shape in which a flat disk is erected, and a shelf receiving attachment portion 71 protruding outward is formed on one side surface.
The shelf support 80 has a shape in which a cylinder is laid sideways. A lateral groove 85 for sandwiching the shelf is formed on the side surface of the shelf receiver 80. Two pieces 83 facing each other are formed by the groove 85. One piece 83 is provided with a shelf presser 87 with a height adjusting screw. The shelf receiver 80 is rotatably attached to the shelf receiver attaching portion 71 of the outer sleeve 70 by screws 89.

FIG. 25 is a front sectional view showing another structural example of the wire gripper of FIG.
In the wire gripper 1 ′ of this example, a shelf receiver 80 ′ is integrally provided on the outer sleeve 70 ′. The groove 85 of the shelf receiver 80 ′ is formed so as to be orthogonal to the wire through hole of the inner sleeve 10. By integrating the shelf receiver 80 ′ and the outer sleeve 70 ′, relative rotation between the inner sleeve 10 and the shelf receiver 80 ′ is eliminated, so that the swing of the held shelf can be reduced.

FIG. 9 is a view showing a state in which the shelf is held by the wire gripper of this example.
In this example, the shelf S is held by the wire gripper 1 ′ on the wire W suspended from the rail 103 laid on the ceiling. The shelf S is inserted into the groove 85 of the shelf receiver 80 of the gripper 1 ′ shown in FIG. 8A, and is fixed between the upper piece 83 and the shelf retainer 87.

  One of the two wires W gripped by the wire gripper 1 ′ extends straight upward and is connected to one wire fastener 105, and the other extends diagonally upward to the other wire fastener. It is connected to the tool 105. The wire gripper 1 can also be used as these wire fasteners 105. Also, one of the two wires W extends straight downward and is connected to the wire gripper 1 attached to one weight D, and the other extends obliquely downward and attached to the other weight D. The wire gripper 1 is connected. By using the wire gripper 1 ′ in this way, the shelf S can be held horizontally so as not to swing in the front-rear direction. In place of the weight D, a fastener can be installed on the floor or the like.

10A and 10B are views showing the structure of a wire gripper according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10A is a front sectional view, and FIG. 10B is a side view.
This wire gripper 1 ″ has a hook 95 for hooking an article. The gripper 1 ″ has the same configuration and action as the wire gripper 1 of FIG. 1, but the shape of the outer sleeve 90 is different.

No screw is formed in the lower hollow portion of the outer sleeve 90. The spring retainer 49 is press-fitted and fixed from below the lower hollow hole of the outer sleeve 90. A hook 95 is attached to the lower portion of the outer sleeve 90 by a rivet 97.
By using this wire gripper 1 ″, the article hooked on the hook 95 can be hung without rotating around the wire as the axis.

12A and 12B are views showing the structure of a wire gripper according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 12A is a front view, FIG. 12B is a front sectional view of the wire gripper main body, and FIG. C) is a view showing a front cross-section of the cap, and also shows a state where the gap and the wire between the cap and the gripper are guided.
The wire gripper 200 includes a wire guide cap 201 that is screwed into the wire gripper 1 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 12B, the upper portion 13 of the inner sleeve 10 is biased upward by a spring 60 and protrudes from the opening of the upper hollow hole 41 of the outer sleeve 40. An external screw 13 a is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the protruding upper portion 13. The wire guide cap 201 is screwed onto this screw.

  As shown in FIG. 12C, the wire guide cap 201 is formed with a wire through hole 203 extending in the axial direction of the wire gripper 1. An inner screw 203 a that is screwed into the outer screw 13 a of the inner sleeve upper portion 13 is formed in a portion of the wire through hole 203 that is approximately half the height. Further, the hole 203 is formed with a tapered inner peripheral surface 205 extending from the inner screw 203a in the outer direction (opposite direction on the wire gripper side).

  When the inner screw 203 a of the wire guide cap 201 and the outer screw 13 a of the inner sleeve 10 are completely screwed together, no gap is opened between the wire guide cap 201 and the outer sleeve 40. That is, the inner sleeve 10 cannot be pushed downward relative to the outer sleeve 40. Thus, by tightening the wire guide cap 201, the wire gripper 200 is locked in a grip state. Thereby, the situation where the inner sleeve 10 is carelessly pushed and the grip force is released can be prevented.

In order to release the gripping force, the outer screw 13a and the inner 203a are slightly loosened and the cap 201 is moved upward. A gap (see FIG. 12C) opens between the cap 201 and the outer sleeve 40, and the inner sleeve 10 Can be pushed downward.
A knurled surface 207 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cap 201 to make it easy to pinch the cap 201.

  When using the wire gripper 200, generally, as shown in FIG. 5, the two wires W coming out of the gripper are divided into left and right (front and rear) and extend upward (or downward). Is. For this reason, the wire W which is divided can be guided by providing the taper inner peripheral surface 205 which spreads outward in the wire guide cap 201. Thus, by making the shape of the part where the wire goes out from the inner sleeve conform to the curved shape of the actual wire, it is possible to smoothly release the grip of the wire and to perform the wire feeding / retraction operation. In addition, since the wire bends smoothly, it is difficult for the wire to become hazy.

  Next, an example using this wire gripper 200 will be described. In addition, this wire gripper 200 is also applicable to the usage example shown in FIG.5, FIG.6, FIG.9. Furthermore, this wire gripper can also be applied to a modification of the wire gripper shown in FIGS.

FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining a canvas fixing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a part (canvas corner) of the canvas fixing system of FIG. 13 and a modification thereof.
This example shows a system that uses a wire gripper 200 to stretch a rectangular canvas C (including cloth, mesh, resin sheet, etc.) between the ceiling and the floor. By adjusting the tension of the canvas C or changing the type of the canvas C, the canvas C can be used for various purposes and forms such as a screen, a partition, and an ornament.

  Rails 501 are laid in parallel on the ceiling and floor. Two fasteners 503 are slidably and fixedly attached to each rail 501. The canvas C has a square shape and is provided with stoppers 507 at the four corners. The diagonal fit 507 is pulled in the opposite direction by the wire gripper assembly 220, and the assembly 220 is connected to each fastener 503. Thereby, the canvas C is stretched between the ceiling rail 501 and the floor rail 501.

  As shown in FIG. 14A, the wire gripper assembly 220 is a wire gripper 200 that grips both ends of the loop-shaped wire W (in the usage example shown in FIG. 7, the wire gripper 1 is changed to the wire gripper 200 of FIG. And a spring 221 connected in series with the gripper 200. That is, the spring 221 is provided with hooks 223 and 225 at both ends, and one hook 223 is fixed to the end of the outer sleeve 40 of the wire gripper 200.

  After the wire W is passed through the end 507 of the canvas C, both ends are gripped by the wire gripper 200. As a result, the canvas C (fit 507) and the wire gripper assembly 220 are connected. Then, the other hook 225 of the spring 221 of the assembly 220 is hooked on a fastener 503 attached to the rail 501, and the assembly 220 is coupled to the rail 501. Thus, the four corners of the canvas C are connected to the fasteners 503 so as to be pulled diagonally in opposite directions.

  In this example, the canvas C is given a certain margin of tension by the spring 221, but when further adjusting the tension, the length of the loop-shaped wire W (fitting 507 from the gripper 200). It is necessary to change the distance. At this time, the length can be easily adjusted by using a wire gripper 200 that can grip two wires at an arbitrary position. Moreover, since one wire gripper should just be used per one snap 507, it looks good.

  In this example, the fittings 507 through which the wires are passed are provided at the four corners of the canvas C. As such a wire engaging portion, a hook is attached or the canvas is folded to form a double portion. Also good.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 14B and 14C, the structure of the connecting portion between the canvas and the fixed portion can be changed. In these examples, the canvas is connected directly to the floor or ceiling instead of the rail.
In the example shown in FIG. 14 (B), the fitting 507 of the canvas C is fixed to the floor surface via the wire gripper assembly 230. The wire gripper assembly 230 includes a wire gripper 200 and a fixing portion 231 fixed to the floor surface. The wire gripper 200 can freely rotate with respect to the fixed portion 231. Further, the wire gripper 200 is provided with a screw-type tension applying mechanism, and the wire tension can be adjusted by extending and retracting the wire gripper 200 with respect to the fixing portion 231. This tension applying mechanism has the same action as the spring 221 in FIG.
In the example shown in FIG. 14C, the wire gripper assembly 220 shown in FIG. 14A is connected to a hook 509 fixed to the floor surface.
In addition, a spring can be provided between the loop-shaped wire and the fixed object (canvas).

  By using the spring in this way, it becomes easy to adjust the tension when fixing the fixed object (canvas). Alternatively, even when looseness or slack of each part occurs, the tension is not drastically reduced, and the object to be fixed can be stably fixed.

FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining another example of the canvas fixing system of FIG.
In this example, the canvas C is stretched similarly to the example of FIG. 13, but is connected to the ceiling surface and the floor surface at the four corners of the canvas C and the center of the upper and lower sides.

At the center of the four corners and upper and lower sides of the canvas C, a fit 507 is formed.
The upper side of the canvas C is connected to a fastener fixed to the ceiling by the wire gripper assembly 240. However, the wire gripper assembly 240 includes a wire gripper capable of gripping one wire and a spring. The hooks of the springs are hooked on the tabs 507 on the upper side of the canvas. One end of the wire W is fixed in advance to a fastener 511 to which the left and right upper corners of the canvas C are connected. The other end of the wire W is gripped by the wire gripper assembly 240. On the other hand, the fastener 513 to which the center of the canvas C is connected includes a wire gripper capable of gripping one wire W and a fixing portion fixed to the ceiling or the like. Both ends of the wire W are gripped by the fastener 513 and the wire gripper assembly 240.

  Each corner and center of the lower side of the canvas is formed on the floor by a wire gripper assembly 220 (with a spring) shown in FIG. 14 (A) and a wire gripper assembly 230 (with a fixing portion) shown in FIG. 14 (B). It is connected. The wire W of the wire gripper assembly 220 is passed through the fitting 507 at the lower left corner of the canvas C. The spring of the wire gripper assembly 200 is hooked on a hook 509 fixed to the floor surface. Further, a wire W of a wire gripper assembly 230 that is directly fixed to the floor is passed through a fitting 507 at the center of the lower side of the canvas S. The wire W of the wire gripper assembly 230 fixed to the weight 517 placed on the floor is passed through the fitting 507 at the lower right corner of the canvas S.

FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining another example of the canvas fixing system of FIG. 15. In this example, the canvas C is not a stop, but a wire engaging portion 508 formed by double-stitching the canvas is formed. A wire gripper 250 that can grip only one wire is fixed at each corner and center of the upper side of the canvas C. And these wire grippers 250 and each fastener 511,513 fixed to the ceiling are connected with the wire W. FIG. On the other hand, the lower side of the canvas C is connected to the floor surface in the same manner as in FIG. Here, the wire W is passed through the wire engaging portion 508 of the canvas C.

  Further, a cord 520 is sewn along each side of the canvas C. As the cord, a urethane cord or wire that can be deformed or stretched can be used. Thereby, each side of the canvas C can be maintained in a tensioned state.

  As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the length of the wire can be adjusted even when a gripper capable of gripping one wire is used. However, in this case, a gripper or a fastener for fixing or gripping one wire at the upper end and the lower end is required. When connecting the upper side of the canvas C shown in the example of FIG. 15 to the ceiling, a fastener 511 to which one end of the wire is fixed in advance and a wire gripper assembly 240 connected to the canvas C are used. That is, two fasteners or grippers are required at one connecting portion. However, when the lower side of the canvas C is connected to the floor, one wire gripper assembly 220, 230 that grips both ends of the loop-shaped wire is used. In other words, one wire gripper assembly is required for one connecting part. By using such wire gripper assemblies 220 and 230, the canvas C may be provided with an engaging portion such as a hole through which the wire passes, and the wire gripper assembly may be attached to the fixed object side. Thereby, the design of the canvas C can be expanded.

FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating a surface configuration system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
This example is a system in which a plurality of linear bodies are spanned between opposing sides such as a ceiling and a floor surface to form a surface composed of linear bodies. As the linear body, for example, a wire coated with urethane can be used. At this time, the urethane is peeled off at both ends of the linear body, and the wire is exposed.

  A pair of L-shaped bars 531 are fixed in parallel to the ceiling and the floor. Each bar 531 is formed with holes 533 aligned in the length direction. Both ends of one or two linear bodies 540 are gripped by a wire gripper assembly 220 (see FIG. 14A) having a wire gripper connected in series with a spring, and are pulled between these bars 531 in opposite directions. It has been.

  The hook of the spring of each wire gripper assembly 220 is hooked in the hole 533 of the bar 531. On the other hand, one or two linear bodies 540 are gripped by the wire gripper of the assembly 220. For example, in the portion shown on the left side of the figure, one end of two linear bodies 540 is gripped by the wire gripper assembly 220 attached to one bar 531. The two linear bodies 240 are separated from the wire gripper assembly 220 in the left-right direction in the figure and extend toward the other bar 531. The other end of each linear body 240 is gripped by a wire gripper assembly 220 attached adjacent to the bar 531. As a result, the linear body 240 is stretched so as to cross between the upper and lower bars 531.

Further, in the portion shown in the center of the figure, the linear body 240 is stretched between the adjacent wire gripper assemblies 220 of each bar 531, and the upper and lower linear bodies 240 spanned in this way. The center is hooked at substantially the center of the upper and lower bars 531.
In the portion shown on the right side of the figure, every other wire gripper assembly 220 is attached to the hole 533 of each bar 531. The linear body 240 is gripped by one end of the wire gripper assembly 220 attached to the bar 531, folded back through the hole 533 of the opposite bar 531 from the assembly 220, and returned to the original bar 531. The other end is gripped by the first wire gripper assembly 220 and the adjacent wire gripper assembly 220. As shown in this example, it is not necessary to attach the wire gripper assembly 220 to all the holes 533.

  The system of this example may be used as a partition between spaces or as a decorative item provided along a wall. By changing the color of the linear body 240 (color of the urethane coating), more various decorative effects can be expected. At this time, by using a wire gripper that can grip two linear bodies, it is possible to improve the processing of the ends of the linear bodies. As shown in FIG. Can be handed over.

  Below, the example of the system which suspends articles | goods (signboard, lighting equipment, a shelf, etc.) with a wire using the wire gripper of this invention is demonstrated.

FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an article suspension system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
This example shows a system in which a sign 551 and a lighting device 553 are suspended by a wire on a rail 561 suspended from a ceiling.
The signboard 551 is suspended from the rail 561 by one wire gripper 200, and the lighting device 553 is suspended from the rail 561 by two wire grippers 200.

  When the signboard 551 is suspended, the wire gripper 200 is slidably attached to the rail 561 (the description of the attachment method is omitted). Then, a fastener 563 to which one end of the wire W is fixed is attached near both ends of the upper side of the signboard 551. The other end of the wire W extending from each fastener 563 is gripped by the wire gripper 200.

  In this example, similarly to the example in which the mannequin shown in FIG. 5 is suspended, the upper ends and the lower ends of the two wires W form a single plane so that the sign 551 does not rotate around the wire W as the axis. Can be hung.

  In this example in which the lighting device 553 is suspended, the two wire grippers 200 are slidably attached to the rail 561. And the fastener 565 by which the end of the wire was fixed to the upper surface of the casing of the illuminating device 553 is attached. In this example, the two fasteners 565 are attached apart from each other in the vicinity of one end of the casing in the longitudinal direction, and the two fasteners 565 are attached apart in the vicinity of the other end. Then, the ends of the two wires W extending from the two fasteners 265 are gripped by the wire gripper 200.

  In order to stably suspend a wide lighting device, it is preferable to suspend it with a plurality of wires at a plurality of places (four places in this example) as in this example. In this case, a gripper or a fastener for gripping or fixing each of the upper ends of the plurality of wires is usually required. Therefore, by using the wire gripper 200 of this example, the upper ends of the two wires can be gripped by one wire gripper 200, and the number of fasteners and grippers can be reduced. Further, as shown in the drawing, the lighting device 553 can be suspended from the linear rail 561.

FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating a shelf hanging system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
This example is a system in which two shelf boards S are suspended horizontally along a wall surface with a wire. Two pairs of wire gripper assemblies 230 are attached laterally apart at positions separated from each other in the vertical direction of the wall surface. The wire gripper assembly 230 is a wire gripper provided with a fixing portion as shown in FIG. 14B, and the fixing portion 231 is fixed to a wall surface. Since the wire gripper 200 is rotatable with respect to the fixing portion 231, in this example, the upper wire gripper faces downward and the lower wire gripper faces upward. The shelf board S is kept horizontal by the wire W between these assemblies 230.

  For example, a wire gripper 571 having a shelf support as shown in FIG. 8 is attached near both ends of the opposite sides (short sides in this example) of the shelf board S. However, in this example, the shelf holder is not a type in which the shelf plate is sandwiched between grooves as shown in FIG. 8, but is a screw type. Moreover, it is not what can grip two wires, but can grip one wire.

  Between the upper and lower wire gripper assemblies 230, both ends of the two wires W are gripped. The lengths of the two wires W are different. The shorter wire WS is gripped by the wire gripper 571R on the wall side of the shelf S, and the longer wire WL is in front of the shelf S. It is gripped by the side wire gripper 571F.

  Also in this example, since the upper end and the lower end of the two wires can be gripped by one wire gripper, the end of the wire can be processed with good appearance.

  In this system, the shelf board S can also be held vertically along the wall surface. At this time, the wire gripper 573 and the wire guide 575 are attached to the end surface of the shelf board S.

FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating a shelf hanging system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
This example is a system that suspends the shelf S horizontally from the ceiling with wires.

The shelf suspension system in the center of the figure will be described. In this example, two shelf boards S are suspended in the vertical direction.
A fastener 581 to which the ends of the two wires W are fixed is attached to the ceiling. Wire grippers 583 having a grip mechanism for one wire are fixed through the four corners of the shelf board S. The two wires extending from the fastener 581 are separated from the fastener 581 in the front-rear direction and extend downward, and the middle is gripped by two wire grippers 583 adjacent to each other in the short side direction of the shelf board S. The lower ends of the two wires S are gripped by one wire gripper assembly 230 (see FIG. 14B) attached to a weight 585 placed on the floor surface. The wire gripper assembly 230 may be directly fixed to the floor surface.

  By using the wire gripper assembly 230 using the gripper 200 capable of gripping two wires as described above, the weight 585 can be placed immediately below the center of the shelf board S. For example, when using a gripper that grips only one wire as in the prior art, it is necessary to place weights directly under the four corners of the shelf. For this reason, the number of parts increases, and there is a possibility that the foot gets caught on a weight or a wire. However, by using the wire gripper 200 capable of gripping two wires, the weight 585 can be placed directly under the center of the shelf, and such a fear can be eliminated.

The shelf suspending system on the right side of the figure will be described. Also in this example, the two shelf boards S are hung horizontally in the vertical direction.
A wire gripper assembly 230 (see FIG. 14B) is fixed to the ceiling. At the four corners of the shelf board S, wire grippers 200 shown in FIG.

  The two wires W separated from the wire gripper assembly 230 fixed to the ceiling in the front-rear direction and extending downward are gripped by two wire grippers 200T adjacent to each other in the short side direction of the upper shelf board S. The Then, the two wires W separated in the front-rear direction and extending downward from the wire gripper 200T are gripped by two wire grippers 200B adjacent in the short side direction of the lower shelf S, respectively. The lower ends of the two wires W are gripped by a wire gripper assembly 230 (see FIG. 14B) attached to a weight 585 mounted on the floor surface.

  In this example, as compared with the system shown in the center of the figure, the shake of the shelf board in the front-rear direction can be reduced. That is, as described in the example of FIG. 6, since the shake in the front-rear direction is suppressed by the wires extending diagonally, it is difficult to shake in the same direction. And by using the wire gripper 200 which can grip two wires, the wire end portion and the connecting portion between the wire and the shelf plate can be processed with good appearance.

FIG. 21 is a diagram for explaining a shelf suspension system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
This example is also a system that suspends the shelf S horizontally from the ceiling. In this example, two shelf boards S can be hung side by side in the horizontal direction.

  A fastener 581 to which ends of two wires are fixed is fixed to the ceiling.
