Description

The present invention relates to a support auxiliary member and a long body support unit.

For example, a long body support tool is used to suspend and support a long body such as an air conditioning pipe or a drainage pipe. When such a long body support is used, a support assisting member may be interposed between the support portion of the long body support and the long body supported by the support portion. The support auxiliary member is configured to have a support length longer than the support width in the longitudinal direction of the long body of the support portion, and distributes and supports the long body in a wide support area. As a result, the long body can be supported in a stable posture, and when the long body includes a heat insulating material that covers the pipe, deterioration of the heat insulating performance due to crushing of the heat insulating material can be suppressed.

An example of such a support assisting member is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-133430 (Patent Document 1). The support auxiliary member (support member 10 for hanging metal fittings) of Patent Document 1 has a protrusion (projection 11a) on the lower surface of the arc-shaped support plate. Then, by fitting the protrusion into a hole (perforation 30a) provided in the support portion (band portion 30) of the long body support (hanging metal fitting 20), the support portion of the long body support is formed. On the other hand, it is removable. Further, the support auxiliary member is positioned with respect to the long body support by fitting the hole portion and the protrusion portion.

However, the support auxiliary member of Patent Document 1 is premised on being used together with a dedicated long body support having a hole in the support portion. Therefore, when used together with a general-purpose long body support (a long body support having no hole in the support), the tip of the protrusion abuts on the inner surface of the support, and the protrusion There was a problem that the peripheral part of the body was lifted from the support part and the stability was not good.

As shown in FIG. 1, the support auxiliary member 1 is used by being attached to the support portion 61 of the long body support tool 6. The support auxiliary member 1 is configured to have a support length longer than the support width of the support portion 61 of the long body support 6 in the longitudinal direction L of the long body 8. The support auxiliary member 1 is arranged along the longitudinal direction L of the elongated body 8 so as to extend to both sides of the longitudinal direction L with respect to the support portion 61. By supporting the long body 8 in a distributed manner over a wide support area, the long body 8 can be supported in a stable posture, and performance deterioration due to crushing of the covering member 82 can be suppressed.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the support auxiliary member 1 includes a support plate 10, an elastic holding piece 20, a locking portion 30, and an engaging portion 40. These are integrally formed using an elastic synthetic resin such as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, urethane and the like.

The support plate 10 is a plate-shaped member that constitutes the main part of the support auxiliary member 1, and extends along the longitudinal direction L of the long body 8 in a state of being attached to the support portion 61 of the long body support 6. do. Since the support plate 10 is attached so that its longitudinal direction is along the longitudinal direction L of the elongated body 8, in the following description, the longitudinal direction of the support plate 10 is also referred to as “longitudinal direction L”. Further, the lateral direction of the support plate 10 orthogonal to the longitudinal direction L is referred to as "width direction W".

The support plate 10 is mainly composed of the plate body 11. The plate body 11 is formed in a rectangular shape in a plan view (viewed in the vertical direction) at the central portion in the width direction W. The upper surface 11a, which is one surface of the plate body 11, is a mounting surface on which the long body 8 is placed while being attached to the long body support 6. The lower surface 11b, which is the other surface of the plate body 11, is a supported surface that is received and supported by the support portion 61 while being attached to the long body support 6.

In the present embodiment, a plurality of upper rib portions 13 extending along the longitudinal direction L are formed on the upper surface 11a (mounting surface) of the plate main body 11. Further, a plurality of lower rib portions 14 extending along the longitudinal direction L are formed on the lower surface 11b (supported surface) of the plate body 11. In the present embodiment, the plurality of upper rib portions 13 and the plurality of lower rib portions 14 are provided at positions corresponding to each other in the width direction W. By providing such a plurality of upper rib portions 13 and lower rib portions 14, it is possible to facilitate bending deformation along the support portion 61 of the long body support 6 while increasing the rigidity in the longitudinal direction L. ..

A through hole 16 penetrating vertically is formed in the central portion of the plate body 11. The through hole 16 is formed along the longitudinal direction L. As shown in FIG. 4, the through hole 16 is formed at a position overlapping with the elastic holding piece 20 provided on the lower surface 11b side of the plate main body 11 in a plan view. The through hole 16 of the present embodiment has a narrow portion 16A having a width corresponding to the width of the elastic holding piece 20 and a wide portion 16B wider than the narrow portion 16A. The wide portion 16B is formed at a position corresponding to the thin-walled portion 22B of the elastic holding piece 20 described later in the longitudinal direction L. Further, the wide portion 16B is formed in a trapezoidal shape in a plan view in the present embodiment.

The support plate 10 of the present embodiment has a pair of extending portions 12 extending from the plate main body 11 on both sides in the width direction W. The extending portion 12 is formed in a flat trapezoidal shape in a plan view. The side edge 12a of the extending portion 12 has a portion parallel to the longitudinal direction L in the center of the longitudinal direction L and a portion inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction L on both sides thereof. A pair of slits 41 extending from the side edge 12a toward the plate body 11 side are formed in the extending portions 12 on both sides in the width direction W, respectively.

The support plate 10 is divided into a central portion 18 and a pair of outer portions 19 on both sides thereof by a pair of slits 41 formed on both sides in the width direction W. The central portion 18 is a portion between a pair of slits 41 in the longitudinal direction L. The outer portion 19 is a portion outside the central portion 18 (one of the pair of slits 41) in the longitudinal direction L. The pair of outer portions 19 may have the same length in the longitudinal direction L, or may be different from each other. The through hole 16 is formed from one outer portion 19 to the other outer portion 19 beyond the central portion 18. Further, the wide portion 16B of the through hole 16 is formed only in one outer portion 19 in the present embodiment.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a protrusion 45 protruding from the support plate 10 toward the lower surface 11b is provided on the extending portion 12 in one outer portion 19 adjacent to the corresponding slit 41 in the longitudinal direction L. It is provided. In the present embodiment, the protrusion 45 is formed as a flat plate-shaped protrusion. The protrusion 45 is provided adjacent to the slit 41 in the longitudinal direction L and at a position extending over the side edge 12a in the width direction W.

The elastic holding piece 20 is made of an elastic body and is provided on the lower surface 11b of the support plate 10 (plate body 11) in a cantilevered state. The elastic holding piece 20 is arranged along the longitudinal direction L in the central portion of the support plate 10 (from one outer portion 19 to beyond the central portion 18 to the other outer portion 19). The length of the elastic holding piece 20 along the longitudinal direction L is set to be longer than the support width of the support portion 61 of the long body support 6. Therefore, when the elastic holding piece 20 is attached to the support portion 61, the elastic holding piece 20 is arranged so as to extend to both sides of the elongated body 8 in the longitudinal direction L with respect to the support portion 61.

The elastic holding piece 20 holds the support portion 61 of the long body support 6 from the lower surface side. The elastic holding piece 20 of the present embodiment has a base portion 21 integrally formed with the support plate 10, and a holding piece portion 22 formed of a piece portion integrally formed with the base portion 21 and extending in the longitudinal direction L. The elastic holding piece 20 is composed of an elastic arm having a base portion 21 as a root portion and a tip portion of the holding piece portion 22 opposite to the base portion 21 as an open end portion. In the elastic holding piece 20, the holding piece portion 22 can be bent and deformed with the portion of the base portion 21 as a fixed end. The holding piece portion 22 is flexible and deformable in both the width direction W and the vertical direction (thickness direction).

As shown in FIG. 5, the holding piece portion 22 has a parallel extending portion 22A, a thin-walled portion 22B, an inclined extending portion 22C, and a tip inclined portion 22D from the base portion 21 side to the tip end side. The parallel extending portion 22A extends parallel to the support plate 10 (plate body 11) from the lower end portion of the base portion 21. The thin-walled portion 22B is formed to be thinner than the parallel extending portion 22A, and continuously extends from the parallel extending portion 22A. The thin portion 22B also extends parallel to the support plate 10 (plate body 11). The inclined extending portion 22C is inclined and extends from the thin-walled portion 22B so as to gradually approach the support plate 10 side. In the present embodiment, the holding space R is formed as a space surrounded by the support plate 10, the base 21, the parallel extending portion 22A, the thin-walled portion 22B, and the inclined extending portion 22C. The support portion 61 of the long body support 6 is held in this holding space R.

The tip inclined portion 22D is inclined and extends from the inclined extending portion 22C so as to be gradually separated from the support plate 10. The surface of the tip inclined portion 22D on the support plate 10 side is an insertion guide surface 22e that guides the support portion 61 so as to smoothly fit in the holding space R when the support auxiliary member 1 is attached to the long body support 6. ing.

In the elastic holding piece 20, the thickness of the thin wall portion 22B and the tip inclined portion 22D on the tip side is thinner than the thickness of the base portion 21 and the parallel extending portion 22A on the base end side thereof. In particular, by making the thickness of the thin portion 22B relatively thin, the tip end side of the elastic holding piece 20 can be easily flexed and deformed. Further, the elastic holding piece 20 is bent so that the inclined extending portion 22C and the tip inclined portion 22D at the tip thereof are located on the support plate 10 side. By bending the tip side of the elastic holding piece 20 in this way, the distance for bending the elastic holding piece 20 can be shortened.

As shown in FIG. 2, the locking portion 30 to which the tip end side of the elastic holding piece 20 is locked is opposite to the side of the support plate 10 (plate body 11) where the elastic holding piece 20 is provided. It is provided on the upper surface 11a. In the present embodiment, the locking portion 30 is configured by utilizing a part of the plurality of upper rib portions 13 formed on the upper surface 11a of the plate main body 11. In the present embodiment, the upper rib portion 13 corresponds to the "rib portion".

Further, in this example, among the plurality of upper rib portions 13, the side surface of the tip side of the elastic holding piece 20 adjacent to the through hole 16 in the width direction W is the side surface opposite to the through hole 16 in the longitudinal direction L. It is an inclined side surface 13a that is inclined with respect to (see FIG. 4). The inclined side surface 13a is provided adjacent to the wide portion 16B of the through hole 16 in the longitudinal direction L. The inclined side surface 13a is slightly inclined toward the outside of the width direction W toward the tip end side of the elastic holding piece 20. Then, the tip end side of the elastic holding piece 20 is locked to the inclined side surface 13a and the upper surface 11a of the plate body 11 continuous from the inclined side surface 13a. In the present embodiment, the locking portion 30 is also configured by the inclined side surface 13a (including the portion of the upper surface 11a of the continuous plate main body 11) formed on a part of the plurality of upper rib portions 13. ..

As described above, the elastic holding piece 20 is provided on the lower surface 11b of the support plate 10 (plate body 11), and the through hole 16 is formed at a position overlapping the elastic holding piece 20 in a plan view of the plate body 11. Therefore, the elastic holding piece 20 is bent and deformed in the vertical direction, and its tip side can protrude to the upper surface 11a side of the support plate 10 (plate body 11) through the through hole 16. Further, the through hole 16 includes a wide portion 16B, and the wide portion 16B is provided adjacent to the inclined side surface 13a of a part of the upper rib portion 13 that also serves as the locking portion 30 in the longitudinal direction L. .. Therefore, the elastic holding piece 20 is deformed and deformed in the width direction W, and its tip side can be locked to the locking portion 30 (inclined side surface 13a + upper surface 11a).

In fact, when the support auxiliary member 1 is attached to the support portion 61 of the long body support tool 6, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the elastic holding piece 20 has its tip side (inclined extending portion 22C and tip). The inclined portion 22D) is locked to the locking portion 30 on the upper surface 11a side of the support plate 10 through the through hole 16. On the other hand, on the lower surface 11b side of the support plate 10 (plate body 11), the elastic holding piece 20 has its base end side (parallel extending portion 22A) sandwiching the support portion 61 between the support plate 10 and the lower surface 11b of the plate body 11. .. At this time, by locking the elastic holding piece 20 to the locking portion 30 in a state of elastic deformation, the pressure contact force of the elastic holding piece 20 with respect to the support portion 61 can be increased, the sliding resistance is increased, and the position shifts. (Here, in particular, the positional deviation in the width direction W) can be made less likely to occur.

The support auxiliary member 1 of the present embodiment further includes an engaging portion 40 that can be engaged with the support portion 61 from the longitudinal direction L in a state of being attached to the support portion 61 of the long body support 6. .. The engaging portions 40 are provided on both sides of the support plate 10 in the width direction W so as to be engaged with the support portion 61 from both sides in the longitudinal direction L. By providing such an engaging portion 40 and engaging the engaging portion 40 with the support portion 61 from both sides in the longitudinal direction L on both sides in the width direction W, the engaging portion 40 is supported by the long body support tool 6. The auxiliary member 1 can be positioned in the longitudinal direction L.

As described above, a pair of slits 41 extending from the side edge 12a toward the plate body 11 side are formed in the extending portions 12 on both sides of the support plate 10 in the width direction (FIGS. 2 to 4). reference). The pair of slits 41 have portions extending along at least the width direction W at intervals corresponding to the length of the support portion 61 of the long body support 6 in the longitudinal direction L. In the present embodiment, one of the pair of slits 41 (the one located on the proximal end side of the elastic holding piece 20 in the longitudinal direction L) is a linear slit 41A extending straight along the width direction W. .. The other of the pair of slits 41 (the one located on the tip end side of the elastic holding piece 20 in the longitudinal direction L) is a polygonal line having a parallel portion 41c parallel to the linear slit 41A and a diagonal portion 41d intersecting the parallel portion 41c. The shape slit 41B.

In the present embodiment, the distance L in the longitudinal direction between the linear slit 41A and the parallel portion 41c of the polygonal slit 41B corresponds to the length L in the longitudinal direction of the support portion 61. The engaging portion 40 is formed by the inner edge 19a of the outer portion 19 located outside the pair of slits 41 in the support plate 10 (plate body 11) in the longitudinal direction L.

To supplement this point, the central portion 18 between the pair of slits 41 follows the curved shape of the support portion 61 in a state where the support auxiliary member 1 is attached to the support portion 61 of the long body support tool 6. Curves (see FIGS. 6 and 7). The pair of outer portions 19 on both sides of the central portion 18 in the longitudinal direction L are curved to some extent following the central portion 18, but the degree of the curvature is suppressed to a small extent. That is, in the state of being attached to the support portion 61, the curvature of the pair of outer portions 19 is smaller than the curvature of the central portion 18. As a result, the outer portion 19 is arranged so as to intersect the support portion 61 when viewed in the longitudinal direction L, and the inner edge 19a of the outer portion 19 engages with the support portion 61 from the longitudinal direction L.

In the present embodiment, one of the pair of slits 41 is a polygonal slit 41B, so that the outer portion 19 of one is stretched toward the central portion 18 along the side edge 12a of the extending portion 12. It has a piece 42. Then, the distance between the pair of slits 41 at the position of the side edge 12a of the support plate 10 (extending portion 12) (in this example, the distance between the linear slit 41A and the oblique portion 41d of the polygonal slit 41B). ) Is shorter than the length of the support portion 61 in the longitudinal direction L. The overhanging piece 42 functions as a stopper for the support auxiliary member 1 from the support portion 61. For example, even after the support auxiliary member 1 is attached to the support portion 61 of the long body support 6 and before the elastic holding piece 20 is locked to the locking portion 30 (inclined side surface 13a + upper surface 11a), the attachment state is changed. Can be maintained properly.

To attach the support auxiliary member 1 to the long body support 6, the following may be used. First, as shown in FIG. 9, the support auxiliary member 1 is inserted into the support portion 61 of the long body support 6 along the longitudinal direction L. At that time, the support plate 10 is arranged so as to pass above the support portion 61, and the support auxiliary member 1 is lengthened with the side of the tip inclined portion 22D, which is the open end of the holding piece portion 22 of the elastic holding piece 20, as the head. Slide it in the direction L and insert it. At this time, since the tip inclined portion 22D is inclined so as to be further separated from the support plate 10 on the tip side, the support portion 61 can be smoothly accommodated in the holding space R as the slide moves. The support auxiliary member 1 is slid and moved until the base portion 21 of the elastic holding piece 20 abuts on the support portion 61 in the longitudinal direction L.

At this time, the outer portion 19 on the front side in the insertion direction (the tip end side of the elastic holding piece 20) is inserted beyond the support portion 61 of the long body support 6, and is not supported from the outside by the support portion 61. , The degree of curvature is smaller than that of the central portion 18. Along with this, the overhanging piece 42 provided in the outer portion 19 is in a state of being located outside the support portion 61.

In this state, as shown in FIG. 10, the support auxiliary member 1 is slid along the longitudinal direction L in the direction opposite to that up to that point. This slide movement is performed until the inner edge 19a of the outer portion 19 on the front side in the insertion direction abuts on the support portion 61 in the longitudinal direction L. By this operation, the overhanging piece 42 provided in the outer portion 19 is in a state of being caught from the outside with respect to the support portion 61. Further, the outer portion 19 on the rear side in the insertion direction (the proximal end side of the elastic holding piece 20) is also located at a position where it does not touch the support portion 61, and the degree of bending is smaller than that of the central portion 18. Along with this, the inner edge 19a of the outer portion 19 and the protrusion 45 provided therein are in a state of engaging with the support portion 61 in the longitudinal direction L. In this way, the support auxiliary member 1 can be positioned in the longitudinal direction L with respect to the long body support 6. Therefore, the support auxiliary member 1 can be appropriately temporarily fixed to the long body support 6 at an appropriate position in the longitudinal direction L.

Finally, after adjusting the position of the support auxiliary member 1 with respect to the long body support 6 in the circumferential direction, as shown in FIG. 11, the tip end side of the elastic holding piece 20 is locked to the locking portion 30 (inclined side surface 13a + upper surface 11a). ) (See FIGS. 6 and 7 for the locking portion 30). The elastic holding piece 20 is elastically deformed, its tip end side is projected to the upper surface 11a side of the support plate 10 (plate body 11) through the through hole 16, and is locked to the locking portion 30 on the upper surface 11a side. As a result, the support portion 61 of the long body support 6 can be held by the support plate 10 and the elastic holding piece 20, and the support auxiliary member 1 can be appropriately held against the long body support 6. Further, since the elastic holding piece 20 sandwiches the support portion 61 between the elastic holding piece 20 and the lower surface 11b of the plate main body 11 on the base end side thereof, the sliding resistance increases and the position of the elastic holding piece 20 is less likely to shift in the circumferential direction.

As described above, according to the support assisting member 1 of the present embodiment, the support assisting member 1 can be appropriately held against the long body support 6 at an appropriate position in the longitudinal direction L, and is not easily displaced in the circumferential direction. Therefore, for example, when the long body 8 is subsequently arranged, even when the long body 8 is inserted into the long body support 6, the support auxiliary member 1 is surely used without shifting in the longitudinal direction L and the circumferential direction. The long body 8 can be supported from below. Since this is realized only by the structure of the support auxiliary member 1 without depending on the structure of the long body support 6, the general-purpose long body support 6 in which the support portion 61 does not have a hole is formed. However, it can be suitably applied.
