  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the tube gripping device 1 is for connecting a support object M such as a solar cell module to a tube P such as a single pipe for support. The gripping metal fitting 2 is clamped without being tightened, and the fixing metal fitting 3 is coupled to the gripping metal fitting 2 and fixed to the pipe body P in order to fix the gripping metal fitting 2 to the pipe body P. The fixing bracket 3 is mounted adjacent to the gripping bracket 2.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 8, the holding fitting 2 includes a bracket 4, a jaw member 5, a stopper 6, and an urging means 7.

  The bracket 4 is bolted to the support object M and has an arcuate holding recess 8 that receives the tube P opened to the opposite side of the support object M.

  The jaw member 5 is pivotally supported on the bracket 4 by a shaft 9 so as to be rotatable between a holding position and a release position, and the opening of the holding recess 8 of the bracket 4 is closed at the holding position. The tube P is held between them, the opening of the holding recess 8 is opened in the release position to release the tube P, or the tube P entering the opening is received and can be rotated to the holding position.

  The stopper 6 is pivotally supported on the bracket 4 by a shaft 10 at an intermediate portion, so that it can rotate between a locked position and an unlocked position. While having the lock part 12 and having the rotation operation part 13 on the other end side, the lock part 12 is arranged on a path in which the jaw member 5 rotates from the holding position to the release position in the lock position to rotate the jaw member 5. The jaw member 5 is pushed by the jaw member 5 rotating from the release position to the holding position and retracted from the rotation path of the jaw member 5 to allow passage of the jaw member 5 to the holding position, and in the unlocked position, the jaw member The lock portion 12 is disposed outside the path in which the 5 rotates from the holding position to the release position to allow the jaw member 5 to rotate.

  The biasing means 7 is interposed between the bracket 4 and the jaw member 5 so as to selectively hold the jaw member 5 in the locked position or the unlocked position beyond the dead point during the rotation of the jaw member 5. Rush.

  The jaw member 5 is rotatable about the shaft 9 between the holding position shown in FIG. 5 and the release position shown in FIG. The jaw member 5 includes a pair of parallel support plates 15 arranged in parallel to the inside of the pair of support plates 14 of the bracket 4. The support plate 15 is a substantially U-shaped flat plate material having a concave holding surface 16 and first and second legs 17 and 18 extending in opposite directions so as to surround the concave holding surface 16. The concave holding surface 16 faces the opening 19 in a direction parallel to the back surface of the support object M at the holding position, and holds the tubular body P on the inner side facing the concave portion 8 of the bracket. The first leg 17 extends in a direction parallel to the back surface of the support object M at the holding position, intersects and closes the opening 19 of the recess 8 of the bracket 4, and falls to the opposite side of the support object M at the release position. The openings 19 are arranged to open. An engaging portion 20 that engages with the stopper 6 is provided at the distal end portion of the second leg 34. In the release position, the jaw member 5 is disposed so that the opening 21 of the concave holding surface 16 is obliquely directed to the side opposite to the support object M and the tube P can be received therein. The rotation range of the jaw member 5 is regulated by a guide shaft 23 that passes through the support plate 15 through the arcuate guide hole 22 of the bracket 4.

  Between the bracket 4 and the jaw member 5, biasing means 7 for biasing the jaw member 5 to hold it in the locked position or the unlocked position is interposed. The biasing means 7 includes a spring guide 24 and a spring 25 fitted therein. The spring guide 24 has a long hole 26 in the axial direction at the lower end, and is pivotally supported by a shaft 27 that passes through the hole 26 and is supported on the support plate 14 of the bracket so as to be movable in the axial direction. The spring guide 24 is pivotally supported by the jaw member 5 by the engagement recess 28 at the upper end being rotatably engaged with the shaft 23. The spring 25 always urges the jaw member 5 by urging the spring guide 24 toward the distal end side in the axial direction. However, the spring 25 exceeds the dead point in the course of rotation of the jaw member 5 and moves to the opposite direction. The member 5 is urged to rotate.

  The stopper 6 has a lock portion 12 on one end side, a rotation operation portion 13 on the other end side, and a bearing portion 29 on an intermediate portion. The stopper 6 is pivotally supported by the shaft 10 between the tip portions of the projecting portions 30 of the bracket 4 in the bearing portion 29, and is freely rotatable between a locked position shown in FIG. 5 and an unlocked position shown in FIG. A detent ball 31 is incorporated in the vicinity of the lock portion 12 and falls into the detent hole 32 of the bracket 4 to hold the stopper 4 in the unlocked position (FIG. 6). A contact surface 33 is provided on the front end side of the bearing portion 29, and this contact surface 33 abuts on a contact piece 34 provided at the front end of the protruding portion 30 of the bracket 4 (FIG. 5). The stopper 6 is held at the lock position.

  Thus, the stopper 6 prevents the rotation of the jaw member 5 by disposing the lock portion 12 on the path where the jaw member 5 rotates from the holding position to the release position, that is, on the movement path of the engaging portion 20 in the locked position. However, in the unlocked position, the lock portion 12 is disposed outside the movement path of the engagement portion 20 to allow the jaw member 5 to rotate. Further, the stopper 6 is pushed up by the engaging portion 20 when the jaw member 5 rotates from the release position to the holding position in the locked position (FIG. 8), and is temporarily retracted from its moving path and allowed to rotate to the holding position. To do.

  When the support object M is supported by the tube P, the support object M is supported and held in the open state shown in FIG. 7 (the stopper 6 is in the lock position and the jaw member 5 is in the release position). The metal fitting 2 is applied to the tubular body P, and the supporting object M is pressed against the tubular body P while fitting the concave holding surface 16 of the jaw member 5 to the tubular body P. Initially, the jaw member 5 is rotated to the holding position together with the pipe body P while compressing the spring 25 (counterclockwise in FIG. 7), and is urged to rotate by the spring 25 exceeding the dead point on the way. As shown in FIG. 5, the stopper 6 is rotated against the spring force (clockwise in the drawing) so that the engaging portion 20 pushes up the lock portion 12 of the stopper 6 to reach the holding position (FIG. 5). After the engaging portion 20 passes, the stopper 6 is restored by rotating counterclockwise to the locked position, and reaches the locked state of FIG.

  In the state of FIG. 5, the jaw member 5 is urged to the holding position by the spring 25, but even when a strong external force rotating in the release direction (clockwise direction) is applied, the engaging portion 20 is the locking portion of the stopper 6. Since the jaw member 5 is prevented from rotating and restrained to the holding position by abutting on the member 12, the support object M can be reliably supported on the tubular body P. However, since the jaw member 5 does not firmly tighten the tube P, for example, when the external force in the axial direction of the tube P is received, the jaw member 5 moves relatively easily.

  When the support object M is removed from the tube P, the rotation operation unit 13 of the stopper 6 is pushed up from the state shown in FIG. 5 to rotate the stopper 6 to the unlocked position (clockwise). Then, the lock portion 12 is disengaged from the rotation path of the engaging portion 20 of the jaw member 5. In this state, when the support object M is operated so as to be peeled off from the tube P, the jaw member 5 rotates to the release position (clockwise), and the tube P is released as shown in FIG. The object M can be removed from the tube P. During this time, the spring 25 exceeds the dead point and the jaw member 5 is biased to the release position.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the fixing metal fitting 3 is attached to the pipe body P adjacent to the holding metal fitting 2. The fixture 3 includes a main body 35, a fastening member 36, a nut member 37, and a fastening bolt 38.

As shown in FIGS. 9 to 13, the main body 35 of the fixing bracket includes a pair of parallel side plate portions 39, a connecting plate portion 40 that connects the side plate portions 39, and a support plate portion that spans between the upper portions of both side plate portions. 41 and an engaging plate portion 42 extending outward from the upper edge portion of one side plate portion 39. The side plate portion 39 has an arcuate receiving recess 43 that receives the tubular body P. 1 to 3, the engaging plate portion 42 extends beyond the gripping metal fitting 2 adjacently installed on the tube P, and then refracts at right angles along the outer surface of the gripping metal fitting 2. .
The fastening member 36 is composed of a pair of parallel plate-shaped plate members 44 coupled to each other, and is pivotally supported on the main body 35 by a pivot 45 at an intermediate portion, and the proximal end side is disposed at the inner side of the main body 35 and below the support plate portion 41. The Therefore, the fastening member 36 is rotatable so as to fasten and release the tube P between its distal end side and the main body 35.

  The nut member 37 into which the fastening bolt 38 is screwed has a rotating shaft 46 parallel to the pivot 45, and is thereby provided rotatably on the proximal end side between the side plate portions 39 of the fastening member 36.

  The fastening bolt 38 passes through a bolt insertion hole 47 formed in the support plate portion 41 of the main body 35 so as to be swingable, and is screwed into the screw hole 48 of the nut member 37. By tightening the tightening bolt 38, the tube P is tightened between the main body 35 and the tightening member 36, and the main body 35 is integrated with the gripping metal fitting 2 connected by the engagement plate portion 42 as shown in FIGS. Fix to tube P.

  The gripping bracket 2 has a structure for gripping the tube body P without tightening. However, if the tube gripping metal fitting 2 is attached and then the fixing metal fitting 3 is mounted adjacent thereto, the tube gripping device 1 is obtained. Both can be fixed to the tube P as a unit. For this reason, the tube gripping apparatus 1 can reliably fix the support object M without moving it in the axial direction of the tube P, and can be used in various installation environments.
