Description

  The present invention relates to a pipe socket that supports both ends of a metal or plastic hanger pipe used to hang a clothes hanger or the like and can be easily attached to and detached from a support column provided with slits in upper and lower stages.

  Conventionally, as this type of pipe socket, those shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 are known. The conventional pipe socket will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9. FIG. 6 (a) is a perspective view when a hanger pipe that is hung between columns is supported using the conventional pipe socket. FIG. 7B is a longitudinal sectional view of FIG. 7A, FIG. 7 is a perspective view when a conventional pipe socket is used to support a hanger pipe that is hung between columns, and FIG. FIG. 9A to FIG. 9C are explanatory views when the pipe fixing member is locked to the support column.

  A pipe socket 100 shown in FIG. 6 includes a pipe support member 101 made of a halved cylindrical body and a bracket 102 fixed to the side end surface of the pipe support member 101 by welding or the like. The pipe support member 101 supports the end of the cylindrical hanger pipe 4 made of metal or plastic used for hanging clothes hangers and the like, and the rear end of the bracket 102 has an inverted L-shape. The hook-shaped locking pieces 102a, 102a that hang down are formed in two upper and lower stages, and are locked to a column 5 made of a channel steel material or a pipe steel material standing on a side plate such as a closet.

  The support column 5 is vertically movable with slits 5a provided in upper and lower multi-stages through which the hook-shaped locking pieces 102a and 102a are inserted and removed, and hook-shaped locking pieces 102a and 102a inserted into the inside from the slits 5a. Vertical grooves 5b. The slit 5a is formed in a vertically long slot, and its vertical width is larger than the thickness of the hook-shaped locking pieces 102a, 102a in order to facilitate the insertion and removal of the hook-shaped locking pieces 102a, 102a. Slightly larger.

  In order to lock the pipe socket 100 to the column 5 thus configured, the hook-shaped locking pieces 102a and 102a are inserted into the slit 5a from the direction substantially perpendicular to the standing direction of the column 5 and the bracket 102 Can be locked as shown in FIG. 6 (b). Similarly, the pipe socket 100 is omitted from illustration, but if the pipe socket 100 is also locked to the support column 5 arranged in a standing posture at the position opposite to the support column 5, the hanger pipe 4 is connected to the pipe socket 100. By placing the support member 101 on the support member 101, the hanger pipe 4 can be hung between the pair of support columns 5.

  On the other hand, the pipe socket 200 shown in FIG. 7 has a cylindrical shape slightly larger in diameter than the hanger pipe 4 as shown in FIG. 8, and has an internal thread portion at the end on the inner peripheral surface for fixing to the pipe fixing member 201. Formed.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the pipe fixing member 201 includes an annular washer 202 that is in contact with the support column 5, and an annular male screw member 203 that is slightly smaller in diameter than the washer 202 and that can be screwed into the female screw portion. It is formed by loosely fitting on the claw-like member 204. The claw-like member 204 includes a substantially rod-like horizontal portion 204a and a claw portion 204b formed at the base end portion of the horizontal portion 204a. The horizontal portion 204a includes a washer at the upper and lower ends of the outer periphery. A notch groove is provided so that 202 and the male screw member 203 do not easily fall off the claw-like member 204.

  In order to lock the pipe fixing member 201 configured in this way to the column 5, as shown in FIG. 9A, the upper protrusion of the claw portion 204 b is moved upward from an oblique direction with respect to the standing direction of the column 5. The claw portion 204 is rotated in the slit 5a. Then, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), the claw portion 204 has a positional relationship parallel to the inner wall surface of the support column 5, so that the claw portion 204 is lowered in the vertical downward direction and shown in FIG. 9 (c). Thus, the pipe fixing member 201 can be locked to the support column 5. Then, after the pipe fixing member 201 is locked to the support column 5, as shown in FIG. 7, the pipe socket 200 into which the hanger pipe 4 is inserted and rotated is rotated in the direction of the arrow and screwed into the male screw member 203. As shown in FIG. 7, the pipe socket 200 can be fixed to the pipe fixing member 201.

  Accordingly, although not shown, the pipe socket 200 provided at the other end of the Phang Nga pipe 4 is also locked to the support column 5 arranged in a standing posture at the position opposite to the support column 5. If the pipe socket 200 is fixed to the existing pipe fixing member 201, the hanger pipe 4 can be hung between the pair of columns 5.

  The conventional pipe sockets 100 and 200 that support the hanger pipe 4 that is hung between the pair of support columns 5 configured as described above have the following problems. That is, when the pipe socket 100 supports the hanger pipe 4 that is hung between the support columns 5, as described above, both ends of the hanger pipe 4 are placed on the pipe support member 101 formed of a half cylinder. However, the pipe support member 101 is a half cylinder, and the movement of the hanger pipe 4 in the vertical upward direction cannot be restricted. Therefore, when an impact is applied to the hanger pipe 4, there is a problem that the hanger pipe 4 may be dropped from the pipe socket 100.

  On the other hand, when the hanger pipe 4 is inserted into and removed from the pipe socket 200 and is hung between the pillars 5 or not, the pipe socket 200 has a problem that the attaching / detaching method is unknown at first glance as shown in FIG. It was. Furthermore, when it is going to change the position of the hanger pipe 4 hung between the support | pillars 5, after removing the pipe socket 200 from the pipe fixing member 201, the pipe fixing member 201 is removed from the slit 5a of the support | pillar 5, As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, after the pipe fixing member 201 is locked to the column 5, the pipe socket 200 must be attached to the pipe fixing member 201, so that there is a problem that the operation becomes very complicated. . In addition, since the number of parts is large, there is a problem that parts are lost.
