It means one protruding one with one side 45 of the above, and does not include, for example, a set of two locking teeth, a set of three locking teeth, and the like.

また、図3(b)に示すように、各係止歯49,51は、バンド部40の延出方向の先端43側に、突出量が最小(バンド部40の片面45からの突出量が最も小さい)の裾部53と、この裾部53よりもバンド部40の延出方向の基端41側に、バンド部40の片面45からの突出量が最大(バンド部40の片面45からの突出量が最も大きい)の頂部54とを有している。更に、各係止歯49,51の、頂部54よりも、バンド部40の基端41側には、バンド部40の延出方向に対してほぼ直角な、係止部55が形成されている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), each of the locking teeth 49 and 51 has the minimum amount of protrusion toward the tip 43 side in the extending direction of the band portion 40 (the amount of protrusion of the band portion 40 from one side 45). The amount of protrusion from one side 45 of the band portion 40 is maximum (from one side 45 of the band portion 40) on the hem portion 53 (the smallest) and the base end 41 side of the band portion 40 in the extending direction of the hem portion 53. It has a top 54 (with the largest amount of protrusion). Further, a locking portion 55 is formed on the base end 41 side of the band portion 40 with respect to the top portion 54 of each locking tooth 49, 51, which is substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the band portion 40. ..

更に、図3(a),(b)に示すように、バンド部40の幅方向両側であって、バンド部40の片面45からは、バンド部40の長手方向に沿って延びる、一対のリブ47,47が、所定高さで突出している。この実施形態におけるリブ47は、係止歯49,51と同一高さで突出している。また、これらのリブ47,47は、バンド部40がロック部20の挿通路25に挿入されたときに、前記一対の突状支持部27,27(図7参照)に当接して、バンド部40の片面45が、ロック部20の底壁21の内面から離反するように支持するものである。更に図3(a)に示すように、これらの一対のリブ47,47の間に、複数の係止歯49,51の幅方向両側部が配置されて一対のリブ47,47連結されている。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, a pair of ribs extending from one side 45 of the band portion 40 on both sides in the width direction of the band portion 40 along the longitudinal direction of the band portion 40. 47, 47 project at a predetermined height. The rib 47 in this embodiment protrudes at the same height as the locking teeth 49 and 51. Further, these ribs 47, 47 abut on the pair of protruding support portions 27, 27 (see FIG. 7) when the band portion 40 is inserted into the insertion passage 25 of the lock portion 20, and the band portion One side 45 of 40 supports the lock portion 20 so as to be separated from the inner surface of the bottom wall 21. Further, as shown in FIG. 3A, both sides of the plurality of locking teeth 49, 51 in the width direction are arranged between the pair of ribs 47, 47, and the pair of ribs 47, 47 are connected to each other. ..

そして、この実施形態のバンドクランプ10においては、図3(b)に示すように、最先端係止歯51は、裾部53から頂部54までの間に、断続的な斜面をなして突出するように設けられている。また、この最先端係止歯51は、バンド部40の延出方向の先端43側に位置する第1斜面59と、この第1斜面59よりもバンド部40の延出方向の基端41側に位置する第2斜面61と、第1斜面59と第2斜面61との間に設けられた棚面63とを有しており、最先端係止歯51の、バンド部40の延出方向の先端43側及びバンド部40の延出方向の基端41側に、第1斜面59及び第2斜面61を介して、段状に突出する部分が設けられている。すなわち、この実施形態における最先端係止歯51は、第1斜面59、及び、それよりもバンド部基端側に所定長さ離れた第2斜面61が、バンド部40の延出方向に沿って断続的に設けられており、これらの斜面59,61を介して、バンド部40の片面45から突出している。また、第1斜面59と第2斜面61との間に設けた棚面63は、バンド部40の片面45からの突出量が一定とされている。 Then, in the band clamp 10 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3B, the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 projects on an intermittent slope between the hem portion 53 and the top portion 54. It is provided as follows. Further, the state-of-the-art locking teeth 51 have a first slope 59 located on the tip 43 side in the extension direction of the band portion 40 and a base end 41 side in the extension direction of the band portion 40 with respect to the first slope 59. It has a second slope 61 located at, and a shelf surface 63 provided between the first slope 59 and the second slope 61, and has an extension direction of the band portion 40 of the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51. A portion is provided on the tip 43 side and the base end 41 side in the extending direction of the band portion 40 so as to project stepwise through the first slope 59 and the second slope 61. That is, in the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 in this embodiment, the first slope 59 and the second slope 61 which is separated from the first slope 59 by a predetermined length on the base end side of the band portion are along the extending direction of the band portion 40. It is provided intermittently, and protrudes from one side 45 of the band portion 40 via these slopes 59 and 61. Further, the shelf surface 63 provided between the first slope 59 and the second slope 61 has a constant amount of protrusion from one side 45 of the band portion 40.

なお、本発明における最先端係止歯の「斜面」とは、バンド部40の片面45に対して、バンド部40の延出方向先端側が低く、バンド部40の延出方向基端側が高く突出するような斜面を意味しており、バンド部40の延出方向先端側が高く、バンド部40の延出方向基端側が低くなるような斜面は含まない。また、最先端係止歯の「段状に突出する部分」とは、この実施形態の場合、第1斜面59及び該第1斜面59に連設した棚面63の先端側からなる段状部分と、第2斜面61及び該第2斜面61に連設した頂部54からなる段状部分との、2つの段状部分から構成されている。 The "slope" of the state-of-the-art locking tooth in the present invention means that the tip side of the band portion 40 in the extension direction is lower and the base end side of the band portion 40 is higher than the one side 45 of the band portion 40. It does not include a slope such that the tip end side of the band portion 40 in the extension direction is high and the base end side of the band portion 40 is low. Further, in the case of this embodiment, the "stepped portion" of the state-of-the-art locking tooth is a stepped portion composed of the first slope 59 and the tip end side of the shelf surface 63 connected to the first slope 59. And a stepped portion consisting of a second slope 61 and a top portion 54 connected to the second slope 61, the second slope 61 is composed of two stepped portions.

より具体的に説明すると、この実施形態においては、図3(b)に示すように、最先端係止歯51の裾部53から前記第1斜面59が、バンド部40の基端側に向けて次第に高く突出するように傾斜して設けられており、この第1斜面59の頂点(最も高い部分)から前記棚面63が一定高さでバンド部基端側に向けて延出しており、更にこの棚面63の基端(バンド部40の基端側の端部)から、前記第2斜面61が、バンド部40の基端側に向けて次第に高く突出するように傾斜して設けられている。また、最先端係止歯51の頂部54は、第2斜面61の頂点(最も高い部分)からバンド部基端側に向けて、バンド部40の片面45からの突出量が一定となるように形成されている。 More specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3B, the first slope 59 is directed toward the proximal end side of the band portion 40 from the hem portion 53 of the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51. The shelf surface 63 extends from the apex (highest portion) of the first slope 59 toward the base end side of the band portion at a constant height. Further, the second slope 61 is provided so as to be inclined so as to gradually project higher toward the base end side of the band portion 40 from the base end of the shelf surface 63 (the end portion on the base end side of the band portion 40). ing. Further, the top portion 54 of the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 has a constant amount of protrusion from one side 45 of the band portion 40 from the apex (highest portion) of the second slope 61 toward the base end side of the band portion. It is formed.

なお、棚面63の、バンド部40の片面45からの突出量は、バンド部40の片面45からの最先端係止歯51の頂部54の突出量を1としたときに、1/4~3/4であることが好ましく、1/3~2/3であることがより好ましい。また、棚面は、バンド部40の片面45からの突出量が一定ではなくても、バンド部40の片面45に対して所定角度で傾斜した斜面であってもよい。 The amount of protrusion of the shelf surface 63 from one side 45 of the band portion 40 is 1/4 to 1/4 when the amount of protrusion of the top 54 of the cutting-edge locking tooth 51 from one side 45 of the band portion 40 is 1. It is preferably 3/4, more preferably 1/3 to 2/3. Further, the shelf surface may be a slope inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the single surface 45 of the band portion 40, even if the amount of protrusion of the band portion 40 from the single surface 45 is not constant.

そして、上記最先端係止歯51は、バンド部40の先端43側に、最先端係止歯51の頂部54よりも低く形成された部分(ここでは第1斜面59)を有していることにより、図4(a)に示すように、ロック部20の挿通路25にバンド部40を先端43側から挿入したときに、前記第1斜面59が、係止爪31の裾部31cには当接せずに、最初に係止爪31のテーパ面31aの所定位置(裾部31cから離れた位置)に当接して同係止爪31を押圧し、係止片30をバンド部40の片面45側から離れる方向に撓み変形させるようになっている。このとき、図4(a)に示すように、係止爪31のテーパ面31aには、最先端係止歯51の第1斜面59が面接触して、押圧力が付与されるようになっているが、係止爪31のテーパ面31aのうち、係止片30の基端30aに最も近い箇所を、最先端係止歯51からの押圧力が付与される作用点P2とする。 The state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 has a portion (here, the first slope 59) formed lower than the top portion 54 of the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 on the tip 43 side of the band portion 40. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4A, when the band portion 40 is inserted into the insertion passage 25 of the lock portion 20 from the tip 43 side, the first slope 59 is attached to the hem portion 31c of the locking claw 31. Without abutting, the locking claw 31 is first abutted at a predetermined position (position away from the hem 31c) of the tapered surface 31a of the locking claw 31 to press the locking claw 31, and the locking piece 30 is pressed against the band portion 40. It is designed to bend and deform in the direction away from the one side 45 side. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4A, the first slope 59 of the cutting-edge locking tooth 51 comes into surface contact with the tapered surface 31a of the locking claw 31 to apply pressing force. However, of the tapered surface 31a of the locking claw 31, the portion closest to the base end 30a of the locking piece 30 is set as the action point P2 to which the pressing force from the cutting edge locking tooth 51 is applied.

また、図4(a)に示す状態からバンド部40が更に挿入されると、図4(b)に示すように、係止爪31が棚面63に乗り上がって、係止爪31のテーパ面31aに、最先端係止歯51の第2斜面61が当接し、その後、係止爪31の頂部31bが最先端係止歯51の頂部54を乗り越えると、係止片30が弾性復帰して、図5(a)に示すように、最先端係止歯51の係止部55と係止爪31の係止部31dとが互いに係止するようになっている。この図5(a)に示す状態からバンド部40が更に挿入されると、最先端係止歯51の第2斜面61が、係止爪31に対して基端30aから離れた位置にある、係止爪32のテーパ面32aの所定位置に当接して、係止片30をバンド部40の片面45側から離れる方向に撓み変形させる。 Further, when the band portion 40 is further inserted from the state shown in FIG. 4A, the locking claw 31 rides on the shelf surface 63 and the locking claw 31 is tapered, as shown in FIG. 4B. When the second slope 61 of the cutting-edge locking tooth 51 abuts on the surface 31a and then the top portion 31b of the locking claw 31 gets over the top portion 54 of the cutting-edge locking tooth 51, the locking piece 30 elastically returns. As shown in FIG. 5A, the locking portion 55 of the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 and the locking portion 31d of the locking claw 31 are locked to each other. When the band portion 40 is further inserted from the state shown in FIG. 5A, the second slope 61 of the cutting-edge locking tooth 51 is located at a position away from the base end 30a with respect to the locking claw 31. The locking piece 30 is brought into contact with a predetermined position on the tapered surface 32a of the locking claw 32, and the locking piece 30 is bent and deformed in a direction away from the one side 45 side of the band portion 40.

また、図3(b)に示すように、最先端係止歯51の、裾部53から頂部54(バンド部40の基端側の端部)までの、バンド部40の延出方向に沿った長さをAとし、最先端係止歯51に対して、バンド部40の延出方向の基端41側に隣接した係止歯49の、裾部53から頂部54までの、バンド部40の延出方向に沿った長さをBとしたとき、前記Aは、前記Bよりも大きくなるように形成されている。このように形成することにより、最先端係止歯51の、断続的又は連続的な斜面をなして突出するような形状を設けやすくなり(A<Bだと、斜面を形成しにくい)、また、挿通路へのバンド部の挿入時に、係止片を、比較的長期に亘って、撓んだ状態に維持して、係止片に設けた係止爪が、係止歯の頂部を乗り越えやすくする(A<Bだと、挿通路へのバンド部挿入時に、係止片がすぐに弾性復帰して、係止爪が係止歯の頂部を乗り越えにくい)。 Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, the cutting-edge locking tooth 51 extends along the extending direction of the band portion 40 from the hem portion 53 to the top portion 54 (the end portion on the proximal end side of the band portion 40). The length is A, and the band portion 40 from the hem 53 to the top 54 of the locking tooth 49 adjacent to the base end 41 side of the band portion 40 in the extending direction with respect to the cutting-edge locking tooth 51. When the length along the extending direction of is B, the A is formed to be larger than the B. By forming in this way, it becomes easy to provide a shape in which the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 protrudes by forming an intermittent or continuous slope (if A <B, it is difficult to form a slope), and also. When the band portion is inserted into the insertion passage, the locking piece is maintained in a bent state for a relatively long period of time, and the locking claw provided on the locking piece gets over the top of the locking tooth. (If A <B, the locking piece immediately returns elastically when the band portion is inserted into the insertion passage, and it is difficult for the locking claw to get over the top of the locking tooth).

更に、最先端係止歯51の頂部54が、係止爪32の頂部32bを乗り越えた状態では、図5(b)に示すように、バンド部先端側に位置する係止歯49の傾斜面65が、係止爪32のテーパ面32aに当接するが、この係止歯49に対してバンド部基端側に隣接する、別の係止歯49の傾斜面65は、係止爪31のテーパ面31aに対して所定隙間をあけて配置されるようになっており、常にバンド部先端側に位置する係止歯49の傾斜面65が、係止爪32のテーパ面32aに当接して、係止片30を撓み変形させるようになっている。すなわち、この実施形態においては、最先端係止歯51よりも、バンド部40の基端41側に位置する複数の係止歯49のうち、バンド部40の先端側に最も近い係止歯49が、ロック部20の挿通路25への挿入時に、係止片30に設けた複数の係止爪31,32のうち、係止片30の撓み支点P1から離れた係止爪32に当接して、係止片30を撓み変形させるように構成されている。 Further, when the top portion 54 of the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 gets over the top portion 32b of the locking claw 32, as shown in FIG. 5B, the inclined surface of the locking tooth 49 located on the tip end side of the band portion. 65 abuts on the tapered surface 32a of the locking claw 32, but the inclined surface 65 of another locking tooth 49 adjacent to the band portion base end side with respect to the locking tooth 49 is the locking claw 31. The inclined surface 65 of the locking tooth 49, which is always located on the tip end side of the band portion, is in contact with the tapered surface 32a of the locking claw 32 so as to be arranged with a predetermined gap with respect to the tapered surface 31a. , The locking piece 30 is bent and deformed. That is, in this embodiment, among the plurality of locking teeth 49 located on the proximal end 41 side of the band portion 40 with respect to the cutting-edge locking tooth 51, the locking tooth 49 closest to the distal end side of the band portion 40 However, when the lock portion 20 is inserted into the insertion passage 25, of the plurality of locking claws 31 and 32 provided on the locking piece 30, the locking claw 32 is in contact with the locking claw 32 away from the bending fulcrum P1 of the locking piece 30. The locking piece 30 is configured to bend and deform.

そして、図3(b)に示すように、最先端係止歯51の棚面63の、バンド部40の延出方向に沿った長さをCとし、最先端係止歯51の頂部54の、バンド部40の延出方向に沿った長さをDとしたとき、前記Cは前記Dよりも大きくなるように形成されている。 Then, as shown in FIG. 3B, the length of the shelf surface 63 of the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 along the extending direction of the band portion 40 is set to C, and the top 54 of the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 When the length of the band portion 40 along the extending direction is D, the C is formed to be larger than the D.

なお、この実施形態の最先端係止歯51は、裾部53から頂部54までの間に、棚面63を挟んで、断続的に設けた2つの斜面59,61をなして突出した形状となっているが、本発明における最先端係止歯としては、例えば、裾部から頂部までの間に、断続的に3つ以上の斜面をなして突出した形状としたり、一定高さで突出する棚面を複数形成したりしてもよい。 The state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 of this embodiment has a shape protruding from two slopes 59 and 61 intermittently provided with a shelf surface 63 sandwiched between the hem 53 and the top 54. However, as the state-of-the-art locking tooth in the present invention, for example, three or more slopes are intermittently formed between the hem and the top to form a protruding shape, or the tooth protrudes at a constant height. A plurality of shelf surfaces may be formed.

また、この実施形態においては、図3(b)に示すように、係止歯49,51の頂部54は、バンド部40の片面45からの突出量が一定となるように形成されているが、図3(b)の部分拡大図の二点鎖線で示すように、係止歯49,51の頂部54を山状の一点とし、該頂部54からバンド部40の延出方向の先端43側に向けて傾斜するような、傾斜部54aが形成されていてもよい。なお、図3(b)の部分拡大図の二点鎖線で示すように、最先端係止歯51の頂部54からバンド部40の延出方向の先端43側に向けて傾斜する傾斜部54aが形成されている場合には、同傾斜部54aの、バンド部40の延出方向に沿った長さをDとし、前記Cは前記Dよりも大きくなるように形成されている。更に、各係止歯49,51の係止部55は、バンド部40の延出方向に対してほぼ直角ではなく、バンド部40の延出方向に対して所定角度で傾斜していてもよい。 Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3B, the top portions 54 of the locking teeth 49 and 51 are formed so that the amount of protrusion of the band portion 40 from one side 45 is constant. As shown by the alternate long and short dash line in the partially enlarged view of FIG. 3 (b), the top 54 of the locking teeth 49 and 51 is a mountain-shaped one point, and the tip 43 side in the extending direction of the band portion 40 from the top 54. The inclined portion 54a may be formed so as to incline toward. As shown by the alternate long and short dash line in the partially enlarged view of FIG. 3B, the inclined portion 54a inclined from the top portion 54 of the cutting-edge locking tooth 51 toward the tip 43 side in the extending direction of the band portion 40 When formed, the length of the inclined portion 54a along the extending direction of the band portion 40 is set to D, and the C is formed to be larger than the D. Further, the locking portion 55 of each of the locking teeth 49, 51 may be inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the extending direction of the band portion 40, not substantially at a right angle to the extending direction of the band portion 40. ..

また、図9に示すように、最先端係止歯51は、裾部53から頂部54までの間に、連続的な斜面をなして突出する構造としてもよい。この場合の最先端係止歯51は、その裾部53から、バンド部40の基端側に向けて次第に高くなるように連続的に突出する、連続斜面67を有している。なお、最先端係止歯に、上記のような連続斜面を、複数設けてもよい(例えば、バンド部40の片面45に対して傾斜角度の異なる連続斜面を、バンド部40の延出方向に沿って複数連設したような形状としてもよい)。 Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 may have a structure in which a continuous slope is formed and protrudes from the hem portion 53 to the top portion 54. The state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 in this case has a continuous slope 67 that continuously protrudes from the hem portion 53 toward the proximal end side of the band portion 40 so as to gradually increase. A plurality of continuous slopes as described above may be provided on the cutting-edge locking teeth (for example, continuous slopes having different inclination angles with respect to one side 45 of the band portion 40 may be provided in the extending direction of the band portion 40. The shape may be such that multiple units are connected along the line).

更に、複数の係止歯49は、その裾部53から傾斜面65が、バンド部40の基端側に向けて次第に高く突出するように傾斜して設けられていると共に、この傾斜面65の頂点から、バンド部40の片面45からの突出量が一定の頂部54が形成されている。 Further, the plurality of locking teeth 49 are provided so as to have an inclined surface 65 inclined so as to gradually protrude higher toward the base end side of the band portion 40 from the hem portion 53, and the inclined surface 65 has an inclined surface 65. From the apex, a apex 54 having a constant amount of protrusion from one side 45 of the band portion 40 is formed.

次に、上記構成からなるバンドクランプ10の使用方法及び作用効果について説明する。 Next, a method of using the band clamp 10 having the above configuration and an effect thereof will be described.

まず、バンド部40を、複数の係止歯49,51が外向きとなるように湾曲させて、電線やケーブル等の被結束部材Hに巻き付ける。そして、バンド部40の片面45側をロック部20の底壁21側に向けて、バンド部40の先端43側から、ロック部20の挿通路25のバンド部入口25aに挿入する。このとき、バンド部40の一対のリブ47,47が、ロック部20の一対の突状支持部27,27に支持されて、バンド部40がガイドされながら挿入される。 First, the band portion 40 is curved so that the plurality of locking teeth 49 and 51 face outward, and is wound around a bound member H such as an electric wire or a cable. Then, one side 45 of the band portion 40 is directed toward the bottom wall 21 side of the lock portion 20, and the band portion 40 is inserted into the band portion inlet 25a of the insertion passage 25 of the lock portion 20 from the tip 43 side of the band portion 40. At this time, the pair of ribs 47, 47 of the band portion 40 are supported by the pair of protruding support portions 27, 27 of the lock portion 20, and the band portion 40 is inserted while being guided.

すると、図4(a)に示すように、最先端係止歯51の第1斜面59が、係止爪31の裾部31cには当接せずに、係止爪31のテーパ面31aの、裾部31cから離れた所定位置に当接して押圧し、係止片30が、バンド部40の片面45から離れる方向に撓み変形していく。その後、係止爪31の頂部31bが棚面63に当接して棚面63上を摺接していき、図4(b)に示すように、最先端係止歯51の第2斜面61が、係止爪31のテーパ面31aに当接する。そして、係止爪31の頂部31bが最先端係止歯51の頂部54を乗り越えると、係止片30が弾性復帰して、図5(a)に示すように、最先端係止歯51の係止部55と係止爪31の係止部31dとが互いに係止して、ロック部20からバンド部40が抜け外れないように仮保持される。 Then, as shown in FIG. 4A, the first slope 59 of the cutting-edge locking tooth 51 does not abut on the hem portion 31c of the locking claw 31, but the tapered surface 31a of the locking claw 31. The locking piece 30 is bent and deformed in a direction away from one side 45 of the band portion 40 by abutting against and pressing a predetermined position away from the hem portion 31c. After that, the top portion 31b of the locking claw 31 abuts on the shelf surface 63 and slides on the shelf surface 63, and as shown in FIG. 4B, the second slope 61 of the cutting-edge locking tooth 51 is formed. It abuts on the tapered surface 31a of the locking claw 31. Then, when the top portion 31b of the locking claw 31 gets over the top portion 54 of the cutting-edge locking tooth 51, the locking piece 30 elastically returns, and as shown in FIG. 5A, the cutting-edge locking tooth 51 The locking portion 55 and the locking portion 31d of the locking claw 31 are locked to each other and are temporarily held so that the band portion 40 does not come off from the locking portion 20.

その後、バンド部40が更に挿入されると、最先端係止歯51の第2斜面61が、係止爪32のテーパ面32aの所定位置に当接して押圧し、係止片30を撓み変形させ、係止爪32の頂部32bが最先端係止歯51の頂部54を乗り越えると、係止片30が弾性復帰して、最先端係止歯51の係止部55と係止爪32の係止部32dとが互いに係止する。更にバンド部40が挿入されると、図5(b)に示すように、最先端係止歯51に隣接する係止歯49の傾斜面65が、係止爪32のテーパ面32aに当接して押圧し、係止片30を撓み変形させ、係止爪32の頂部32bが係止歯49の頂部54を乗り越えると、係止片30が弾性復帰して、図6に示すように、係止歯49の係止部55と係止爪32の係止部32dとが互いに係止する。 After that, when the band portion 40 is further inserted, the second slope 61 of the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 abuts and presses against a predetermined position of the tapered surface 32a of the locking claw 32, and the locking piece 30 is flexed and deformed. When the top 32b of the locking claw 32 gets over the top 54 of the cutting-edge locking tooth 51, the locking piece 30 elastically returns, and the locking portion 55 of the cutting-edge locking tooth 51 and the locking claw 32 The locking portion 32d and the locking portion 32d are locked to each other. When the band portion 40 is further inserted, as shown in FIG. 5B, the inclined surface 65 of the locking tooth 49 adjacent to the cutting edge locking tooth 51 comes into contact with the tapered surface 32a of the locking claw 32. When the locking piece 30 is flexed and deformed and the top 32b of the locking claw 32 gets over the top 54 of the locking tooth 49, the locking piece 30 elastically returns and engages as shown in FIG. The locking portion 55 of the stop tooth 49 and the locking portion 32d of the locking claw 32 are locked to each other.

以後、バンド部40を挿入していくと、バンド部先端側に位置する係止歯49の傾斜面65が、係止片先端側に位置する係止爪32のテーパ面32aに順次当接して、係止片30を撓み変形させて、係止歯49の係止部55と係止爪32の係止部32dとが断続的に係止して(図6参照)、バンド部40の仮保持状態が維持される。その後、所定の工具や人力等によって、バンド部40が被結束部材Hの外周を締め付けるまで引っ張ることで、図8に示すように、被結束部材Hをバンド部40で締め付け保持することができる。 After that, when the band portion 40 is inserted, the inclined surface 65 of the locking tooth 49 located on the tip end side of the band portion sequentially abuts on the tapered surface 32a of the locking claw 32 located on the tip end side of the locking piece. The locking piece 30 is flexed and deformed so that the locking portion 55 of the locking tooth 49 and the locking portion 32d of the locking claw 32 are intermittently engaged (see FIG. 6), and the band portion 40 is provisionally engaged. The holding state is maintained. After that, by pulling the band portion 40 until the outer periphery of the bound member H is tightened by a predetermined tool, human power, or the like, the bound member H can be tightened and held by the band portion 40 as shown in FIG.

以上のように、このバンドクランプ10においては、最先端係止歯51の、裾部53から頂部54までの、バンド部40の延出方向に沿った長さAが、最先端係止歯51に対して、バンド部40の延出方向の基端41側に隣接した係止歯49の、裾部53から頂部54までの、バンド部40の延出方向に沿った長さBよりも大きくなるように形成されており、かつ、バンド部40に設けた最先端係止歯51は、裾部53から頂部54までの間に、断続的な斜面をなして突出するように設けられているので、ロック部20とバンド部40との間に被結束部材Hを配置した後、バンド部40の先端43をロック部20の挿通路25に挿入して、係止片30の係止爪31,32にバンド部40の係止歯49,51を係止させていく際に、最先端係止歯51が、係止爪31を押圧して係止片30を撓ませるようになっている。その結果、係止片30の、撓み変形時の支点P1と、係止爪31の、最先端係止歯51からの押圧力が付与される作用点P2との距離L(図4(a)参照)をなるべく長く確保して、係止片30を撓ませやすくすることができ、ロック部20の挿通路25にバンド部40を低い挿入力で挿入することができる。特に、ロック部20の挿通路25にバンド部40を挿入して、係止片30の係止爪31に、最先端係止歯51を係止させる際の、バンド部40の挿入力を低下することができる。 As described above, in the band clamp 10, the length A of the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 from the hem portion 53 to the top portion 54 along the extending direction of the band portion 40 is the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51. On the other hand, the length B of the locking tooth 49 adjacent to the base end 41 side in the extension direction of the band portion 40 from the hem portion 53 to the top portion 54 along the extension direction of the band portion 40 is larger than the length B. The state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 provided in the band portion 40 is provided so as to form an intermittent slope between the hem portion 53 and the top portion 54 so as to protrude. Therefore, after arranging the bound member H between the lock portion 20 and the band portion 40, the tip 43 of the band portion 40 is inserted into the insertion passage 25 of the lock portion 20, and the locking claw 31 of the locking piece 30 is inserted. When the locking teeth 49, 51 of the band portion 40 are locked to the 32, the cutting-edge locking tooth 51 presses the locking claw 31 to bend the locking piece 30. .. As a result, the distance L between the fulcrum P1 of the locking piece 30 at the time of bending deformation and the acting point P2 of the locking claw 31 to which the pressing force from the cutting-edge locking tooth 51 is applied (FIG. 4A). (See) can be secured as long as possible to facilitate bending of the locking piece 30, and the band portion 40 can be inserted into the insertion passage 25 of the locking portion 20 with a low insertion force. In particular, when the band portion 40 is inserted into the insertion passage 25 of the lock portion 20 and the cutting-edge locking tooth 51 is locked to the locking claw 31 of the locking piece 30, the insertion force of the band portion 40 is reduced. can do.

また、最先端係止歯51が、係止爪31を押圧した状態から、更にバンド部40が挿入される際は、すでに係止片30が撓んでいる状態となっているので(図4(b)参照)、係止爪31が最先端係止歯51の頂部54を乗り越えやすくすることでき、バンド部40の挿入力の低下を図ることができる。 Further, when the band portion 40 is further inserted from the state where the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 presses the locking claw 31, the locking piece 30 is already in a bent state (FIG. 4 (FIG. 4). b)), the locking claw 31 can easily get over the top 54 of the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51, and the insertion force of the band portion 40 can be reduced.

ところで、この実施形態においては、図5(b)に示すように、複数の係止歯49のうち、バンド部40の先端側に最も近い係止歯49が、ロック部20の挿通路25への挿入時に、係止片30の撓み支点P1から離れた係止爪32に当接して、係止片30を撓み変形させるように構成されている。そのため、係止片30の、撓み変形時の支点P1と、係止爪32の、最先端係止歯51からの押圧力が付与される作用点P3との距離Lを長く確保することができるので、係止片30を撓ませやすくすることができ、最先端係止歯51の通過後においても、バンド部40の挿入力を低くすることができる。 By the way, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5B, among the plurality of locking teeth 49, the locking tooth 49 closest to the tip end side of the band portion 40 enters the insertion passage 25 of the locking portion 20. Is configured to abut on the locking claw 32 away from the bending fulcrum P1 of the locking piece 30 to bend and deform the locking piece 30. Therefore, it is possible to secure a long distance L between the fulcrum P1 of the locking piece 30 at the time of bending deformation and the action point P3 of the locking claw 32 to which the pressing force from the cutting-edge locking tooth 51 is applied. Therefore, the locking piece 30 can be easily bent, and the insertion force of the band portion 40 can be reduced even after the cutting-edge locking tooth 51 has passed.

なお、上記の効果は、図9に示すように、最先端係止歯51が、裾部53から頂部54までの間に、連続斜面67を有する場合であっても、同様に得ることができる。 As shown in FIG. 9, the above effect can be similarly obtained even when the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 has a continuous slope 67 between the hem portion 53 and the top portion 54. ..

また、この実施形態においては、最先端係止歯51は、バンド部40の延出方向の先端43側に位置する第1斜面59と、この第1斜面59よりもバンド部40の延出方向の基端41側に位置する第2斜面61と、第1斜面59と第2斜面61との間に設けられた棚面63とを有しており、最先端係止歯51の、バンド部40の延出方向の先端43側及びバンド部40の延出方向の基端41側に、第1斜面59及び第2斜面61を介して、段状に突出する部分が設けられている。そのため、ロック部20の挿通路25にバンド部40を挿入する際、図4(b)に示すように、係止片30の係止爪31を、最先端係止歯51の第1斜面59と第2斜面61との間に係止させて(ここでは係止爪31の頂部31bを棚面63に係止させる)、バンド部40をロック部20の挿通路25に挿入した状態で仮保持することができる。すなわち、最先端係止歯51により押圧された係止片30は、初期形状(図4(a)参照)に弾性復帰しようとするので、係止爪31が棚面63に係止するようになっている。 Further, in this embodiment, the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 has a first slope 59 located on the tip 43 side in the extending direction of the band portion 40 and an extending direction of the band portion 40 from the first slope 59. Has a second slope 61 located on the base end 41 side of the above, and a shelf surface 63 provided between the first slope 59 and the second slope 61, and has a band portion of the cutting-edge locking tooth 51. A portion is provided on the tip 43 side in the extension direction of the 40 and the base end 41 side in the extension direction of the band portion 40 so as to project stepwise through the first slope 59 and the second slope 61. Therefore, when the band portion 40 is inserted into the insertion passage 25 of the lock portion 20, as shown in FIG. 4B, the locking claw 31 of the locking piece 30 is used on the first slope 59 of the cutting-edge locking tooth 51. And the second slope 61 (here, the top portion 31b of the locking claw 31 is locked to the shelf surface 63), and the band portion 40 is temporarily inserted into the insertion passage 25 of the lock portion 20. Can be retained. That is, the locking piece 30 pressed by the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 tries to elastically return to the initial shape (see FIG. 4A), so that the locking claw 31 is locked to the shelf surface 63. It has become.

更に、この実施形態においては、図4(b)に示すように、第1斜面59と第2斜面61との間に設けた棚面63は、バンド部40の片面45からの突出量が一定とされているので、バンド部40の仮保持を安定して行うことができる。 Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4B, the shelf surface 63 provided between the first slope 59 and the second slope 61 has a constant amount of protrusion of the band portion 40 from one side 45. Therefore, the temporary holding of the band portion 40 can be stably performed.

また、この実施形態においては、図3(b)に示すように、棚面63の、バンド部40の延出方向に沿った長さCが、最先端係止歯51の、バンド部40の片面45からの突出量が一定に形成された頂部54、又は、最先端係止歯51の頂部54からバンド部40の延出方向の先端43側に向けて傾斜する傾斜部54a(図3(b)の部分拡大図の二点鎖線参照)の、バンド部40の延出方向に沿った長さDよりも大きくなるように形成されているので、棚面63の長さCを長く確保することができ、バンド部40の仮保持を更に安定して行うことができる。 Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3B, the length C of the shelf surface 63 along the extending direction of the band portion 40 is the length C of the band portion 40 of the most advanced locking tooth 51. A top portion 54 having a constant amount of protrusion from one side 45, or an inclined portion 54a inclined from the top portion 54 of the state-of-the-art locking tooth 51 toward the tip 43 side in the extending direction of the band portion 40 (FIG. 3 (FIG. 3). Since it is formed so as to be larger than the length D along the extending direction of the band portion 40 in b) (see the two-dot chain line in the partially enlarged view), the length C of the shelf surface 63 is secured long. Therefore, the temporary holding of the band portion 40 can be performed more stably.

更に、この実施形態においては、ロック部20の挿通路25の内部には、一対の突状支持部27,27が設けられており(図7参照)、バンド部40の、延出方向に直交する幅方向の両側部には、一対の突状支持部27,27に支持される、一対のリブ47,47が設けられており、これらの一対のリブ47,47の間に、最先端係止歯51が配置された構造となっている(図3(a)参照)。そのため、ロック部20の挿通路25にバンド部40を挿入すると、一対の突状支持部27,27に一対のリブ47,47が支持されて、バンド部40のガタ付きを抑えつつ、バンド部40を係止片30から離れる方向に位置合わせすることができ、最先端係止歯51の斜面を、係止片30の係止爪31の突出方向途中部分に当接させやすくすることができ(図4(a),(b)に示すように、最先端係止歯51の第1斜面59や第2斜面61を係止爪31のテーパ面31aに当接させやすくすることができる)、バンド部40の挿入力の低下をより適切に図ることができる。 Further, in this embodiment, a pair of protruding support portions 27, 27 are provided inside the insertion passage 25 of the lock portion 20 (see FIG. 7), and the band portion 40 is orthogonal to the extending direction.
