  (3) As yet another example, as shown in FIG. 19, the structure in the plant cultivation apparatus is only the growth body holding structure D corresponding to the growth body holding structure A of the plant cultivation apparatus U1. be able to.

  The growth body holding structure D is mainly composed of a front-side outer frame portion Df having a certain width in the front-rear direction, a back plate portion Dn provided at a rear end portion of the outer frame portion Df, and an outer frame portion Df. The shelf plate body Dp is constructed between the vertical plate portions Df1 on both sides and supported by the back plate portion Dn.

  The shelf boards Dp are provided at five vertical positions at regular intervals in the vertical direction. Each shelf plate body Dp includes a hanging plate portion Dp1 whose rear surface is joined to the back plate portion Dn, a horizontal plate portion Dp2 projecting forward from the upper end of the hanging plate portion Dp1, and a horizontal plate shape. It consists of an upper projection Dp3 provided at the front end of the part Dp2.

  The horizontal plate-like portion Dp2 has a net-like shape through which an aqueous liquid can pass in the vertical direction, and the front end of the horizontal plate-like portion Dp2 is located slightly behind the front end position of the outer frame portion Df.

  2. Plant cultivation equipment

  The plant cultivation apparatus includes a plurality of plant growth body holding units and a water supply unit.

  (1) The plant growth body held by the plant growth body holding part is one that can grow the plant to be cultivated, and preferably has water retention. The plant that can be cultivated means that the plant can grow in a state where the root, temporary root, rhizome, etc. of the plant to be cultivated are fixed or stretched inside.

  Examples of plants to be cultivated by plant growth bodies include terrestrial plants such as turf and moss, sedums, ivy and the like, but other various plants can also be targeted.

  Examples of water-retaining plant growth bodies include irregularly assembled fibers (the type of fiber is not particularly limited. Various natural fibers such as coconut shell fibers, jute, kenaf, and cotton, polyester-based, polyamide-based, and polyacrylic-based fibers. Various synthetic fibers such as, etc., or other fibers may be used, in particular, irregularly aggregated fibers are compression molded, compression molded, and formed by melting and containing needle punch and binder fibers. What improved the shape-retaining property of a thing, a nonwoven fabric, and what piled up the nonwoven fabric can be used. In addition, sponge-like or other porous organic materials made of synthetic or natural polymer materials, porous inorganic materials such as zeolite and pumice, and other various plant growth materials should be used as water-retaining plant growth bodies. Can do.

  The plant growth body is not in the form of discrete fibers or particles, but can be integrated or shaped, and in addition to a flat or curved plate shape, a rectangular parallelepiped or other polyhedral shape, or other three-dimensional shape. It can be a shape. Further, a flat plate or other shapes may be formed into a columnar shape or other form by winding or other deformation. In addition, a combination of two or more of these forms, for example, a flat plate, a cylindrical one (for example, a flat plate wound around a cylindrical shape, etc.) with a horizontal axis It may be placed.

  As the water-retaining plant growth body, for example, a plant that can hold an aqueous liquid by a capillary phenomenon or the like from its lower end to a certain height limit can be used. The water-retaining plant growth body may have a larger amount of water-based liquid on the lower side than the upper side when the water-based liquid is held.

  The water-based liquid is a liquid mainly composed of water that can be used for growing target plants, such as tap water, rainwater, water containing liquid fertilizer, and the like.

  The water-retaining body can be formed in the same manner using the same material as the water-retaining plant growth body, and the water-retaining body and the water-retaining plant growth body can be similarly formed from the same material. Good.

  (2-1) In the plant cultivation apparatus, each plant growth body holding unit may hold a plant growth body having water retention and capable of growing the target plant.

  The plant growth body is held by the plant growth body holding unit by supporting the base (the frame, columnar, wall, arch, shell, etc.) upward, for example, all or part of the bottom of the plant growth body. Holding by providing an upward support part or a side support part for supporting a part or all of the side part of the plant growth body laterally and / or upward, passing through a part of the plant growth object or plant growth Support by supporting a bar or plate material penetrating the body with a base such as the above, and directly attaching a plant growth body to the base such as by bonding, sewing, binding, nails, screws, bolts, etc. It can be performed by holding or the like by fixing. As the structure that supports the plant growth body upward, a plate-like structure, a slat-like structure, a net-like structure (including punching metal) having a large number of through holes, and a lattice shape (vertical and horizontal) (Lattice or parallel lattice) structure, a structure in which cantilever beams projecting from the rear of the water-retaining plant growth body toward the plant growth surface, a plurality of parallel horizontal beam structures, or A flexible striate body or a combination thereof can be used. As the materials constituting the various structures such as a slat-like structure, a net-like structure, a lattice structure, and a structure in which cantilever-like structures are arranged in parallel, metals such as stainless steel and aluminum, various synthetic resins, Examples include ceramics.

  (2-2) In the plant growth body held by the plant growth body holding unit, the surface for growing the plant is, for example, a vertical surface or an inclined surface (for example, 40 to 90 with respect to the horizontal direction). An upward or downward surface, a horizontal surface, or a horizontal surface can be given as an inclination of degrees, or an inclination of 50 to 90 degrees, preferably an inclination of 60 to 90 degrees, more preferably an inclination of 70 to 90 degrees. Moreover, the surface for growing such a plant is not limited to a flat surface, and may be, for example, a curved surface or an uneven surface that is curved in both the vertical direction (or the tilt direction) and / or the horizontal direction. Good. For example, it can be along an upright cylindrical outer peripheral surface or inner peripheral surface or a conical outer peripheral surface. Furthermore, one plant growth body may have a plurality of surfaces (for example, opposite surfaces, adjacent surfaces, etc.) as plant growth surfaces.

  (2-3) Supporting or covering the whole or a part of each of the opposing surfaces of the plant growth body with a material that does not hinder the growth of the target plant (for example, a net-like portion or a lattice-like portion) Both opposing surfaces or one of them can be used as a plant growth surface. In addition, by supporting or covering the whole or a part of each of the two or more non-opposing surfaces of the water-retaining plant growth body with a material that does not hinder the growth of the target plant (for example, a net-like portion or a lattice-like portion), All or some of these surfaces can be plant growth surfaces.

  (3) The plurality of plant growth body holding units are provided at different vertical positions.

  (3-1) A different vertical position means that one plant growth body is held in addition to the case where the upper end position of the other plant growth body holding part is located below the lower end position of one plant growth body holding part. The upper end position of the other plant growth body holding part is located below the upper end position of the part and above the lower end position, and the other plant growth body is held below the lower end position of the one plant growth body holding part This includes the case where the lower end position of the part is located.

  In the former, when the whole of the other plant growth body holding unit is located vertically below one plant growth body holding unit, a part of the other plant growth body holding unit is vertically below the one plant growth body holding unit. Or when the whole of the other plant growth body holding part is located at a position other than the vertically lower side of the one plant growth body holding part.

  In the latter, the whole of the other plant growth body holding part can be located at a position other than the vertically lower part of one plant growth body holding part.

  (3-2) The space that can hold the plant growth body by any plant growth body holding part and the space that can hold the plant growth body by other plant growth body holding parts are substantially separated. can do.

  Substantial separation means that the space that can hold the plant growth body by one plant growth body holding part and the space that can hold the plant growth body by the other plant growth body holding part are separated, There may be cases like this.

  The water contained in the plant growth body held in the upper space is partly in contact with the plant growth body held in the lower space. Flows into the plant growth on the lower side, but the amount is relatively small.

  The water contained in the plant growth body held in the upper space is partly in contact with the plant growth body held in the lower space. Flows into the plant growth on the lower side, but the amount is relatively small.

  (3-3) Plant growth body held in the plant growth body holding section, and the plant growth at a position lower than the plant growth body holding section, from which the aqueous liquid is guided from the plant growth body holding section via the water conduit The plant growth body held in the body holding part is substantially separated.

  That is, the plant growth body in the upper position and the plant growth body in the lower position are substantially separated. For example, when the two are separated from each other, the two plant growth bodies are partially in contact in the horizontal direction. And when the water content of the upper plant growth body partly contacts the lower plant growth body, part of the water flows to the lower plant growth body, the amount is relatively small, and Although both plant growth bodies are partly in contact with each other in the vertical direction, the water contained in the upper plant growth body partly contacts the lower plant growth body, so that part of the water flows to the lower plant growth body. A case where the amount is relatively small can be mentioned.

  (3-4) The plurality of plant growth body holding units as described above can be integrally configured as a growth body holding structure (for example, a shelf-like or frame-like structure). For example, a synthetic resin can be suitably used as the material, but the material is not limited thereto.

  (4) The water supply unit can receive the water-based liquid supplied from the supply source and supply it through, for example, an outflow part provided in the water supply unit. The receiving water unit receives the aqueous liquid supplied from the supply source, and can temporarily store it, for example, until it reaches a certain water level, and can supply the aqueous liquid exceeding the certain water level through the outflow part, or the received aqueous liquid. Although water can be supplied through the outflow part, it is possible to temporarily store an aqueous liquid having a supply flow rate that exceeds the flow rate capable of supplying water. The water supply unit is an example of a water supply unit that can supply the water-based liquid supplied from the supply source. The water supply unit supplies the water-based liquid supplied from the supply source as it is (a temporary supply of the water-based liquid). Needless to say, even if it does not perform storage or the like, it can be established as a plant cultivation apparatus.

  Examples of the supply source include water supply, precipitation, storage precipitation, water-based liquid drained from the plant cultivation apparatus, circulation of the water-based liquid drained from the plant cultivation apparatus by a pump, or a combination thereof. However, other devices may be used.

  The water supply unit is preferably capable of supplying the supplied aqueous liquid to the uppermost plant growth body holding unit among the plant growth body holding units. However, the water supply unit may supply the supplied aqueous liquid to the plant growth body holding unit above the plant growth body holding unit at the lowest position among the plant growth body holding units. it can. Moreover, it can have two or more plant growth body holding | maintenance parts of a different up-down direction position below the predetermined plant growth body holding | maintenance part to which an aqueous liquid is supplied from a receiving water part. In addition, the water supply is, for example, in the horizontal direction as a whole in the plant growth body holding unit at two or more vertical positions, or in one or two or more plant growth body holding units and one or two or more external path units. It can also be performed only for the required part.

  The water supply unit has an outflow part arranged along at least a predetermined horizontal portion of the plant growth body holding unit to be supplied with water, and the aqueous liquid supplied to the water supply unit is the outflow part. It is assumed that water is supplied to the plant growth body holding part.

  Further, the surface for growing the plant in the plant growth body held in the plant growth body holding unit to be supplied with water is, for example, a vertical surface or an inclined shape (for example, an inclination of 40 to 90 degrees with respect to the horizontal direction, preferably Is an upward or downward surface), the water supply from the water supply part to the plant growth body holding part is the side or lower part of the water supply part. Or, for example, the back side (preferably the back side upper part) of the plant growth body held by the plant growth body holding part through the outflow part provided at the bottom, the upper end part of the plant growth body. It can be performed on the front side of the plant growth body (preferably the upper part on the front side) or on the side surface side (preferably the upper part on the side surface side) of the plant growth body.

  As an outflow part, for example, holes (multiple holes, one or two or more horizontally long holes, etc.), single or plural notches (cough), an aqueous liquid permeable layer (for example, a layer made of a large number of granular materials), an aqueous liquid A permeable membrane etc. can be illustrated. Such an outflow portion includes a predetermined horizontal portion (for example, a predetermined horizontal length portion at a predetermined height position, a predetermined horizontal portion at an upper end portion) in a predetermined plant growth body holding portion to which an aqueous liquid is supplied. Etc.) and it is preferable to prevent as much as possible a horizontal deviation in the supply of the aqueous liquid.

  (5) The water guide path can lead the aqueous liquid from the predetermined plant growth body holding part to which the aqueous liquid is supplied from the receiving water part to the plant growth body holding part at a lower position. In addition, the water conveyance path is formed by supplying the aqueous liquid guided from the plant growth body holding section to the plant growth body holding section in the lower position through the water conveyance path from the plant growth body holding section to the plant growth body holding section in the lower position. It can lead to.

  (5-1) For example, the water guide path may lead the aqueous liquid from the plant growth body holding part to the plant growth body holding part at a lower position through the external path part outside the side thereof. The side outside is a portion located outside the plant growth body holding part in a plan view, regardless of whether it is front, back, left or right. In this case, the external path portion constitutes at least a part of the water guide path. In addition, when the plant growth body holding part has a concave part that can store the aqueous liquid in the lower part, in order for the aqueous liquid to flow out to the external path part outside the side, the water level of the aqueous liquid in the concave part is the external path. It needs to go up until it can flow into the department.

  The external path part may be provided with the water retaining body capable of holding the aqueous liquid.

  As described above, when a plurality of plant growth body holding portions are integrally configured as a growth body holding structure (for example, a shelf-like or frame-like structure) (or in other cases), an external route in the water conveyance route The part can be integrally configured as an external structure (for example, a shelf-like or frame-like structure) so as to correspond to a plant growth body holding part such as a growth body holding structure. For example, a synthetic resin can be suitably used as the material, but the material is not limited thereto. When the growth body holding structure and the external structure are combined, a water guide path is provided to guide the aqueous liquid from the plant growth body holding section to the plant growth body holding section at a lower position through the external path section outside the side. A plant cultivation apparatus can be obtained. In addition, a water supply part can be integrally provided in either a growth body holding structure body or an external structure, for example.

  Such an external structure can be provided on the rear side or the side surface, or both when the front side is present in the growing body holding structure. In addition, for example, by placing the growing body holding structure on the front side and positioning the external structure on the back side to couple them together, the back side of the external path portion in the external structure is in an open state. The body also functions as a growth body holding structure (the external path section serves as a plant growth body holding section and can hold a water retaining body also serving as a plant growth body), and the growth body holding structure is an external structure. It is also possible to function as a body (the plant growth body holding part can also serve as an external path part and can hold a plant growth body that also serves as a water retaining body).

  For example, the water-retaining body retains the aqueous liquid on the side of the plant growth body (may be other than the rear, the lateral direction, the front, etc.). In order to supply the water-retaining plant growth body in a lowered state) or to extend the root of the target plant behind the plant growth body so that the root can absorb the aqueous liquid, it is arranged in the external route section. can do.

  The water-retaining body and the water-retaining plant growing body can be in contact in the horizontal direction. The horizontal contact between the water-retaining body and the water-retaining plant growing body causes less movement of the aqueous liquid from the upper to the lower than the vertical contact.

  (5-2) As another example of the water conveyance path, the plant growth body holding part includes a water permeable structure part through which a water-based liquid can permeate, and the water permeability from the plant growth body holding part at an upper position. The thing which guides an aqueous liquid to the plant growth body holding | maintenance part of a downward position through a structure part can be mentioned.

  As the water permeable structure portion, for example, an upward support portion for supporting a plant growth body upward, and preferably a plate-like structure, a slat-like structure, a net-like structure (punching) having a large number of through holes. (Including metal objects), lattice-like (vertical / horizontal lattice-like or parallel lattice-like) structures, and structures in which cantilever-like ones projecting from the rear of the water-retaining plant growth toward the plant growth surface In addition to those formed by a body, a plurality of parallel horizontal beam-like bodies or flexible striates, a rod or plate material that is inserted through a part of the plant growth body or penetrated through the plant growth body Or by supporting the plant growth body directly by bonding, sewing, binding, nails, screws, bolts, etc., or providing a space between the upper and lower plant growth bodies, or Combinations of these can be mentionedExamples of the material constituting the partition portion composed of a structure such as a slat-like structure, a net-like structure, a lattice-like structure, and a structure in which cantilever-like structures are arranged side by side include metals such as stainless steel and aluminum, and various composites. Examples thereof include resins and ceramics.

  (5-3) The plant cultivation device is a plant growth body holding unit in which an aqueous liquid can be guided from an upper plant growth body holding unit through a water conveyance path, and the plant growth body holding further below the plant growth body holding unit. It may have a drainage path through which the aqueous liquid flows down and drains from a plant growth body holding part (for example, the lowermost plant growth body holding part) other than the one through which the aqueous liquid can be guided to the part.

  Such a drainage path can be drained to the outside below, for example, or a drainage storage part can be provided and flowed there, and the water system flowing down to such drainage storage part The liquid can also be supplied to the upper water supply unit by a circulation pump or the like.

  (6) The surface (plant growth surface) for growing plants in the water-retaining plant growth body held in the plant growth body holding part is a vertical surface or an inclined surface (for example, 40 to 90 degrees with respect to the horizontal direction). Or an upward or downward surface (from 50 to 90 degrees, preferably from 60 to 90 degrees, more preferably from 70 to 90 degrees) from the lower end of the plant growth body to the highest position possible. It is preferable that it can hold an aqueous liquid. For example, the height of the water-retaining plant growth body can be set to a height at which the portion from the lower end to 10 to 100% of the height can hold the aqueous liquid. That is, the water-based liquid may be retained up to, for example, 10% of the height from the lower end, or the water-based liquid may be retained up to, for example, 50% of the height from the lower end. The water-based liquid may be retained up to, for example, 100% of the height. Alternatively, the height can be set such that 30 to 100% of the portion can hold the aqueous liquid. Preferably, it is 40 or 50 to 100%, more preferably 60 or 70 to 100%, still more preferably 80 or 90 to 100%. Generally, by reducing the height from the lower end to the upper end of the water-retaining plant growth body, the aqueous liquid is retained from the lower end with respect to the overall height of the plant growth body (height from the lower end to the upper end). The ratio of the height to a possible position can be increased.

  (6-1) The height of the water-retaining plant growth body held in the plant growth body holding unit depends on the fiber material used, the density of the fiber materials, and the like. For example, it can be 1 to 20 cm, preferably 3 to 15 cm, more preferably 4 to 10 cm, but is not limited thereto.

  (6-2) It is desirable that the depth of the plant growth body held in the plant growth body holding section is not more than the height. In this case, plant cultivation can be performed on the plant growth surface of the plant growth body by effectively using the space. The depth of the plant growth body is preferably 3/4 or 2/3 or less of the height, more preferably 1/2 or 1/3 or less.

  (6-3) The plant growth bodies held in the plant growth body holding portions provided at different vertical positions are substantially separated from each other and are arranged in the vertical direction, and the plants of the plant growth bodies are arranged in the vertical direction. The growth surface can be arranged vertically.

  (6-4) The front-rear direction positions of the plant growth surfaces of the upper and lower adjacent plant growth bodies may be the same. In this case, if the inclination angle of each plant growth surface with respect to the horizontal direction is 90 degrees, each plant growth surface is along a certain vertical plane.

  Further, for example, the lower plant growth surface may be positioned forward with respect to the upper plant growth surface. In that case, assuming that the upper end of the upper water-retaining plant growth body is located above the lower end of the upper water-retaining plant growth body, the vertical distance between the upper plant growth surface and the lower plant growth surface is 0 or as much as possible. Can be small.

  (6-5) The vertical distance between the plant growth surfaces is, for example, the vertical dimension of the plant growth surface (excluding the part of the water-retaining plant growth that is covered by the upper protrusions, etc. where the plant cannot grow). 2 or 3/2 or less, or 1 or 2/3 or less, preferably 1/2 or 1/3 or less, more preferably 1/4 or 1/5 or less, still more preferably 1/10 or less or It can be zero.

  (6-6) The shape and size of the plant growth surface arranged in the vertical direction, the positions of both ends in the horizontal direction, etc. can be fixed or different from each other. For example, one end of the plant growth surface arranged in the up-down direction is along a straight line or a predetermined curve that changes at a certain slope in the up-down direction or a slope of one or more, and the other end is a straight line obtained by translating the straight line or the curve at the one end. Or along a curve or other straight line or curve.

  Therefore, a line enclosing the outer peripheral edge of all plant growth surfaces arranged in the vertical direction can draw a rectangle, a square, other polygons, a circle, an ellipse, other closed curves, and the like.

  (7) The plant cultivation device is composed of a unit-like device (for example, a plant-cultivating device in which a growth body holding structure and an external structure are combined and formed into a unit shape) in two or more vertical directions. When arranged, the water-based liquid drained through the drainage path in the upper plant cultivation apparatus can be accepted by the receiving water section in the lower plant cultivation apparatus.

  In addition, the plant cultivation device has a unit shape as a whole, and when it is fixed in a state where it is vertically arranged with respect to a fixed body (for example, a vertical surface such as a wall surface or an inclined surface) Each unit can be detachably fixed to the fixed portion.

  3. Support fixture

  The support fixture includes a front support portion, an upper fixed portion, and a lower fixed portion. The support fixture is preferably made of a metal such as stainless steel, but is not limited thereto.

  (1) The front support portion can support the fixed object upward. In the front support portion, it is preferable that at least a portion that supports the fixed object upward is along a predetermined horizontal plane. Moreover, it is preferable that the upper surface of a front support part is a horizontal surface, and it is preferable that a front support part is a horizontal board | plate part, However, All are not restricted to this.

  (3) The upper fixed part and the lower fixed part are respectively positioned above and below the front support part on the rear side of the front support part, and the upper fixed part and the lower fixed part are respectively fixed objects. It is provided with a fastening point for fixing an object.

  As a result, it is possible to fasten and fix the fixed object to the upper fixed part at the fastening position in a state where the fixed target object is supported upward in the front support part, and to be positioned below the front support part. The fixed object can be fastened and fixed to the lower part fixing portion at the fastening position.

  The upper fixed portion and the lower fixed portion may be provided with fastening portions at two positions spaced apart from each other in the lateral direction.

  In this case, in a state where two fixed objects (for example, a fixed object having a frontal shape) are supported in the front support portion, the fixed objects are fastened and fixed to the upper fixed portion at two fastening points, respectively. In addition, two other fixing objects (for example, a fixing object having a frontal rectangular shape) positioned below the front support portion can be fastened and fixed to the lower fixing portion at the two fastening points. .

  In the upper fixed part and the lower fixed part, it is preferable that at least a part of the front surface in contact with the fixed object is along a predetermined vertical plane whose normal is the front-rear direction. Moreover, it is preferable that each of the upper fixed portion and the lower fixed portion is a vertical plate portion along a predetermined vertical plane whose normal is the front-rear direction.

  It is preferable that the fastening points are provided in two places at left and right symmetrical positions that are separated from each other in the lateral direction in each of the upper fixed part and the lower fixed part. It is preferable.

  The fastening location includes a hole through which a bolt or the like can be inserted, an internal thread portion (formed by burring or the like), an internal thread hole portion of a fixing nut, an internal thread of a nut fixed to the rear side of the hole through which the bolt or the like can be inserted Although a hole part, the external thread part of an implantation bolt, etc. can be illustrated, it does not restrict to this.

   (4) The support fixture is to be fixed to a vertical surface such as a wall surface or a fixed body such as an inclined surface directly or via another member at the rear side of the position of the upper fixed portion and the lower fixed portion. For example, a supported portion having a horizontal plate shape protruding rearward.

  4). Support fixing system

It consists of a front-side fixed object having fixed parts at the four corners, and the support fixture.
While the lower part of the fixed object is supported upward on the front support part of the support fixture, the lower fixed part of the fixed object is fastened and fixed to the fastening part of the upper fixed part and another fixed object. The fixed part of the upper part of the lower part is fastened and fixed to the fastening part of the lower fixed part.

  (1) The fixed object may be formed by polymerizing and connecting a plurality of connected objects. Each to-be-connected body has a to-be-connected portion provided with a connecting hole, and in the overlapping connection of a plurality of to-be-connected bodies, the connecting holes in the to-be-connected portions of each to-be-connected body overlap in a coaxial manner. It is performed in a state, and the connected portion in that state can constitute a fixed portion. The connection hole means a connection hole and a peripheral edge thereof. The connected portion means a portion including the connecting hole, and the connecting hole may be the entire connected portion.

  (2) The polymerization connection of a plurality of connected bodies can be performed by penetrating the combined body through the connecting holes overlapping in a coaxial manner in the connected parts of the connected bodies.

(2-1) The conjugate is
It can penetrate through the connecting holes overlapping in the same shape in the connected portions of the multiple connected bodies, and connect the connected portions by polymerization,
For example,
An axial part;
A proximal-side outward projecting portion located on the proximal side of the shaft-shaped portion;
A distal end side protruding portion located on the distal end side of the shaft-shaped portion and sandwiching an object between the proximal end side outward projecting portion and a retaining portion capable of elastically bending inward; can do.

  When the combined body of the above example is used, one side (for example, one of the coaxially overlapping connecting hole portions with respect to the coaxially overlapping connecting hole portion in the connected portions of the plurality of connected bodies (for example, When the shaft-like portion of the combined body in which the proximal-side outward projecting portion projects outward from the opening of the front side) is inserted from the distal end side of the shaft-like portion, the proximal-side outward projection Insertion can proceed until the portion is received by the connected portion on the one side of the fixed object.

  The coaxially overlapping connecting hole portion allows the tip-side outward projecting portion to pass through by elastically bending the retaining portion of the combined body inward, while the coaxially overlapping connecting hole portion is coaxially overlapped. Of the other side (for example, the back side) of the connecting hole is restored from the inwardly bent state, the distal end side outwardly extending portion expands laterally, and the other side is connected. If it becomes impossible to pass through the hole in the reverse direction, the distal end side outward projecting part goes out from the other connecting hole part to the other side, and the retaining part is restored from the inwardly bent state, Between the distal end side outward projecting portion and the proximal end side outward projecting portion, the coupled portions of a plurality of coupled bodies are sandwiched and connected together.

  Further, the combined body further has a penetrating portion penetrating in the axial direction. For example, in the combined body of the above example, the proximal-side outwardly projecting portion and the shaft-shaped portion are separated from the proximal end in the axial direction. A penetration portion that penetrates in the axial direction to the inner portion of the retaining portion may be provided.

  Further, the coupling body of the above example with respect to the coupling holes overlapping in a coaxial manner is not only performed from one of the coupling holes to the other (for example, from the front side to the back side), but from the other (for example, the back surface). It can also be performed from the side to the front side).

  The bonded body can be made of a synthetic resin such as polypropylene, but is not limited thereto.

  (2-2) The shaft-shaped portion of the combined body of the above example includes, for example, a cylindrical portion, a leg portion, which extends in the axial direction of the combined body (that is, the axial direction coincides with or is parallel to the axial direction of the combined body). Alternatively, a combination thereof, for example, a leg portion may be provided on the tip end side in the axial direction of the cylindrical portion. Examples of the cylindrical part include a cylindrical part and a polygonal cylindrical part, and the leg part is, for example, along the axial direction of the joined body radially outward from the axial center line of the joined body, and the tip is It is a free end, and the tip end side can be elastically bent radially inward. For example, a plurality of such leg portions can be provided around the axial center line of the combined body with a circumferential interval therebetween. The cross-sectional shape of the leg portion in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the combined body is, for example, substantially arc-shaped or fan-shaped (two arcs having the same size and position of the center and central angle and different radii and their A figure surrounded by two radii passing through both ends of the arc), a rectangular shape, and other polygonal shapes. It is desirable that the tip end portion of the shaft-like portion be formed in a tapered shape so that the shaft-like portion can be easily inserted into the coupling hole portion overlapping in a coaxial manner.

  The proximal end outward projection is located on the proximal side of the shaft-shaped portion. The position of the base end side outward projecting portion is not limited to the base end of the shaft-shaped portion. The shape of the proximal-side outward projecting portion can be, for example, an annular plate-shaped portion or a butterfly-shaped plate-shaped portion that is perpendicular to the axial direction of the combined body.

  The retaining portion is located on the distal end side of the shaft-shaped portion, and has a distal-side outward projecting portion that sandwiches the object between the proximal-side outward projecting portion and can be elastically bent inward. is there. For example, in a leg portion along the axial direction of the coupled body radially outward from the axial center line of the coupled body, the distal end being a free end, and the distal end side being capable of elastically bending radially inward The thing which provided the front end side outward projection part in the radial direction outer side of the front-end | tip part can be mentioned.

  The penetrating portion that the combined body of the above example may have penetrates the base end side outward projecting portion and the shaft-shaped portion in the axial direction from the base end in the axial direction of the combined body to the inward portion of the retaining portion. It is. Such a penetrating portion generally penetrates to the tip in the axial direction, but does not necessarily need to reach the tip. The penetrating portion can have, for example, a circular cross section, but is not limited thereto, and can also have, for example, a polygonal cross section.

  (3) The fixing object can be fixed to the support fixture by a fastening body that penetrates the through portion in the axial direction of the combined body. The fastening body is passed through the through-hole portion in the axial direction of the joined body in which the coupled portions are connected to each other through the coupling hole portions that are coaxially overlapped in the plurality of coupled bodies, and the fastening body is supported and fixed. By fastening and fixing to the fastening part, the fixed part of the fixed object can be fixed to the support fixture.

  A fastening body respond | corresponds to the fastening location of a support fixture, and generally uses a volt | bolt, However, it is not restricted to this.

  In addition, the coupled body of the above example penetrates the coaxially overlapping coupling hole portion, and the coupled portions are connected between the distal-side outward projecting portion and the proximal-side outward projecting portion of the retaining portion. In a state where a fastening body such as a bolt penetrates the axial penetration portion of the joined body and fastens the fixed portion of the fixed object to the fastening portion of the support fixture, When the shaft portion or the like is positioned inward of the retaining portion of the combined body, it is possible to prevent release of the overlapped connection of the coupled portion due to inward bending of the retaining portion. In this case, since the fastening body (such as the shaft portion of the bolt) is positioned inward of the retaining portion, it is possible to prevent the coupled portion from being released from being overlapped due to inward bending of the retaining portion of the combined body. .
