Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cable holder suitable for temporarily fixing an unwired cable connected to a lighting fixture to a channel material, an angle, a suspension bolt, etc., mainly in ceiling construction.

When installing a lighting fixture on the ceiling, before sticking a ceiling board, a lighting cable having a required length is rolled and temporarily placed in advance at a planned mounting position of the lighting fixture. Next, after attaching the ceiling board, a notch hole for mounting the lighting equipment is formed in the ceiling board. Then, an operation is performed to pull out a pre-arranged lighting cable through the cutout hole and connect it to the lighting fixture.

In such work, when the ceiling board is cut out, the pre-arranged lighting cable may not be found. For example, since an unwired cable is temporarily stored, there have been cases where this cable is not thought to be a necessary cable and is moved to another trader or the like.

In addition, when installing a small lighting fixture such as a downlight, the notch hole made in the ceiling board becomes small, and it may be difficult to find the pre-arranged cables through this small notch hole. As described above, if the lighting cable cannot be found, it is necessary to re-route the cable while the ceiling board is attached, which is an extremely troublesome task.

On the other hand, Patent Literature 1 describes a wiring holder for wiring a cable to a ceiling base material. This wiring holder constitutes a holder for wiring along a ceiling base material in which inverted T-shaped bar-shaped members are combined in a grid.

That is, the wiring holder is composed of a leaf spring-like clamping member clamped and fixed to the upper end of the inverted T-shaped bar, and a pair of arms forming an inverted U shape provided at the upper end of the clamping member. there is A gap between a pair of arms formed at the upper ends of the inverted T-shaped bar is used to wire the cable.

Further, in Patent Document 2, a conventional wire fixture is illustrated. In the wire fixture shown in the figure, the alligator-shaped connecting part is fixed to the flange of the construction material, and the wire fixture for fixing the cable to this connecting part with a fixing band, and the connecting part and the cable fixture are integrally formed. A wire fixture in the form of a metal clip is shown. As described above, all conventional electric wire fixtures have a configuration in which cables are fixed to the flange portion of the construction material.

However, the wiring holder described in Patent Document 1 has a special configuration that is fixed to the upper end of the inverted T-shaped bar in the ceiling base material. It was a configuration that did not allow cables to be routed through channel materials, angles, hanging bolts, etc. used as cables.

In addition, since the cable is not fixed between the arms when the cable is routed between the pair of arms, the cable may easily come off from between the arms when the cable is routed.

In addition, since none of the cables wired between the arms are fixed, there is still a risk that if an unwired cable is placed together with a wired cable, it will be accidentally moved.

On the other hand, the conventional electric wire fixture as shown in Patent Document 2 is configured to fix the cable to the flange portion of the building material, so it is not possible to route the cable to other channel material or hanging bolts. It was a configuration that was not possible.

Furthermore, since all conventional electric wire fixtures are configured to firmly hold the cable, holding the unwired lighting cable makes it difficult to pull out the lighting cable through the notch hole in the ceiling board. There was a possibility that

For example, in an electric wire fixing article in which a cable is fixed with a fixing band, it is assumed that the fixing band must be cut when pulling out the lighting cable held by the fixing band. In addition, since the clamping force of the cable fixture is strong in the metal clip-shaped wire fixture, it is necessary to remove the cable fixture once from the construction material when pulling out the lighting cable from the cable fixture. As described above, conventional wire fixtures are not suitable for temporarily arranging an unrouted cable and pulling it out from the cutout hole of the ceiling board.

Therefore, the present invention was created to solve the above-mentioned problems. To provide a cable holder capable of wiring various cables in a

In order to achieve the above object, the first means of the present invention is to provide a fixing portion 10 having a pair of fixing pieces 11 which are shaped like elastic clips and hold and fix various members, and the fixing pieces 11 of the fixing portion 10. A holding portion 20 having a pair of holding pieces 21 extending from one end of the holding portion 20. A bendable bending piece 22 is formed on a part of one of the holding pieces 21, and the tip of the bent bending piece 22 is The cable is held by contacting the opposing holding pieces 21 , and when the bent pieces 22 contact the holding portion 20 , the clamping force of the fixing portion 10 is increased .

In the second means, a fixing portion 10 having a pair of fixing pieces 11 which are formed in the shape of an elastic clip and hold and fix various members, and a pair of holding portions extending from one end of the fixing pieces 11 of the fixing portion 10. A bendable piece 22 is formed on a part of one of the holding pieces 21, and the tip of the bent piece 22 is brought into contact with the opposing holding piece 21. The holding part 20 which holds the cable and is divided into an upper holding part 21A and a lower holding part 20B at a position where the bending piece 22 formed in the holding piece 21 is bent. is formed.

In the third means, a fixing portion 10 having a pair of fixing pieces 11 which are formed in the shape of an elastic clip and hold and fix various members, and a pair of holding portions extending from one end of the fixing pieces 11 of the fixing portion 10. A bendable piece 22 is formed on a part of one of the holding pieces 21, and the tip of the bent piece 22 is brought into contact with the opposing holding piece 21. A pair of bending pieces 22 are formed on one of the holding pieces 21 to hold the cable, and one upper holding piece 21A formed between the pair of bending pieces 22 and the other holding piece 21 A pair of upper holding pieces 21A extending along the longitudinal side edges are provided, and the tips of the pair of bent pieces 22 are configured to abut inside the pair of opposing upper holding pieces 21A.

The fourth means consists of a fixing portion 10 having a pair of fixing pieces 11 which are formed in the shape of an elastic clip and hold and fix various members, and a pair of holding portions extending from one end of the fixing pieces 11 of the fixing portion 10. A bendable piece 22 is formed on a part of one of the holding pieces 21, and the tip of the bent piece 22 is brought into contact with the opposing holding piece 21. A bending portion 21B having a doglegged shape is formed at the distal end of the holding portion 20 to hold the cable, and the upper end portion of the holding portion 20 is formed so as to be narrowed.

The fifth means consists of a fixing portion 10 having a pair of fixing pieces 11 which are formed in the shape of an elastic clip and hold and fix various members, and a pair of holding portions extending from one end of the fixing pieces 11 of the fixing portion 10. A bendable piece 22 is formed on a part of one of the holding pieces 21, and the tip of the bent piece 22 is brought into contact with the opposing holding piece 21. The pair of fixing pieces 11 that hold the cable are connected by a curved elastic member 12 protruding from the holding portion 20 toward the fixing portion 10 .

The sixth means consists of a fixing portion 10 having a pair of fixing pieces 11 which are formed in the shape of an elastic clip and hold and fix various members, and a pair of holding portions extending from one end of the fixing pieces 11 of the fixing portion 10. When holding part 20 is gripped, said fixed part 10 is opened, and said fixed part 10 is clamped when the other holding part 20 abuts on holding part 20. It is designed to increase power.

A seventh means is that when the bending piece 22 abuts on the holding portion 20, the interval between the holding pieces 21 of the holding portion 20 widens, and the fixing pieces 11 of the fixing portion 10 that are continuous with the holding pieces 21 are separated from each other. The clamping force of the fixed part 10 is increased, and the clamping force of the fixed part 10 is increased.

As in the present invention, the holding portion 20 holding the cable C is held by a pair of holding pieces 21 held by its own elastic force. It can be shown that it is an intentional temporary fixing. Therefore, the possibility that the unwired lighting cable C is mistakenly moved by another trader is eliminated.

Moreover, since the cable C temporarily fixed to the holding piece 21 is held by the elastic force of the holding piece 21, it can be pulled out from the holding piece 21 easily. As a result, the cable C can be easily pulled out and wired even from the notch hole for attaching a small lighting fixture such as a downlight.

Further, the distal end of the bent piece 22 is brought into contact with the inner side surface of the opposing holding piece 21 to widen the interval between the holding portions 20 and to increase the clamping force of the fixing portion 10 that is continuous with the holding portion 20 . With this configuration, the clamping force of the fixing portion 10 can be adjusted according to the member to be attached. As a result, the degree of freedom of the cable wiring position is increased, and the cable C can be wired, for example, through channel material P, angle material, hanging bolts, etc. installed in the ceiling space.

A plurality of locking portions 23 to which the ends of the bending pieces 22 are locked are continuously provided along the longitudinal direction of the inner surface of the holding piece 21 with which the ends of the bending pieces 22 abut. Since the position at which the tip is locked can be selected from a plurality of locking portions 23, it is possible to arbitrarily change the clamping strength of the fixing portion 10 and the width of the holding portion 20. FIG. Therefore, it is possible not only to temporarily fix an unwired cable C such as a lighting cable C, but also to wire various cables C to be wired in the ceiling space or the like.

Since the holding portion 20 has two holding portions 20, an upper holding portion 20A and a lower holding portion 20B, separated from each other by the position where the bending piece 22 bends, it is possible to wire the cables C by type. Become. Moreover, since the cable C wired to the lower holding portion 20B is surrounded by the lower holding portion 20B and the bending piece 22, there is no possibility that it will come off. Therefore, the thin cable C which is easily detached can be reliably held by the lower holding portion 20B.

A pair of bending pieces 22 are formed on one of the holding pieces 21, and one upper holding piece 21A formed between the pair of bending pieces 22 and the other holding piece 21 extend along the longitudinal side edge. A pair of upper holding pieces 21A are provided, and the tips of the pair of bending pieces 22 are configured so as to abut against the insides of the pair of opposing upper holding pieces 21A. The interval of 20A can be spread evenly, and the clamping force of the fixing piece 11 can be further increased.

Moreover, since the upper holding portion 20A holds the cable C with one upper holding piece 21A formed between the bending pieces 22 and a pair of upper holding pieces 21A extending to the other holding piece 21, The cable C can be flexibly held by utilizing the elastic force of these upper holding pieces 21A.

Further, the tip of the upper holding piece 21A is formed with a bent portion 21B having a doglegged shape so that the distance between the tip of the upper holding portion 20A is narrowed, thereby holding the upper holding portion 20A. It becomes difficult to remove the cable C that has been attached. Also, by winding a binding wire or the like around the bent portion 21B, it is possible to seal the opening of the upper holding piece 21A, and the cable C can be held in various forms.

By connecting the pair of fixing pieces 11 with a curved elastic member 12 protruding from the holding portion 20 toward the fixing portion 10 , the elastic force of the elastic member 12 is increased and the holding force of the holding portion 20 is increased. can increase

It is a side view showing one example of the present invention. It is a front view showing one example of the present invention. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A shown in FIG. 4; FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB shown in FIG. 4; FIG.

The cable holder of the present invention is composed of a fixing portion 10 fixed to various members and a holding portion 20 holding a cable C (see FIG. 1).

The fixing portion 10 is in the form of an elastic clip provided with a pair of fixing pieces 11 for sandwiching and fixing various members such as a channel material P, an angle, and a hanging bolt. In the illustrated example, the fixed pieces 11 and the elastic members 12 arranged between the fixed pieces 11 are integrally formed of a synthetic resin material, and are sandwiched between various members by the elastic action of the elastic members 12 (see FIG. 2). . The illustrated fixed pieces 11 are connected by a curved elastic member 12 that protrudes toward the fixed portion 10 from the holding portion 20 side.

The pair of fixing pieces 11 have different shapes. One fixed piece 11 has a plate-like shape, and the other fixed piece 11 forms a bent portion 11A to narrow the space below the fixed portion 10 (see FIG. 3). Above the bent portion 11A, the space between the fixed portions 10 is widened.

According to this fixing portion 10, the lip portion P1 of the channel material P can be sandwiched from inside and outside (see FIG. 1). In addition, instead of the lip portion P1 of the channel material P, a suspension bolt may be sandwiched, or an angle flange may be inserted along the inside of the plate-like fixing piece 11 and sandwiched (not shown). . Further, a plurality of support projections 11B are formed on the inner surface of each fixed piece 11 to increase the strength when holding various members (see FIG. 3).

The holding portion 20 is a portion formed by extending a pair of holding pieces 21 from one end of the fixing piece 11 of the fixing portion 10, and is a portion that holds the side surface of the cable C by the elastic force of the holding pieces 21 (FIGS. See Figure 3). The fixing piece 11 and the holding piece 21 shown in the figure are particularly provided with reinforcing beads 30 to increase their elastic strength. In particular, since the width of the upper holding piece 21A is narrower than that of the lower holding piece 21, the reinforcing bead 30 provides a strong holding force.

Furthermore, a bendable piece 22 is formed on one of the holding pieces 21 . The bending piece 22 is provided so as to be bendable so that the tip of the bending piece 22 abuts against the inner surface of the opposing holding piece 21 (see FIG. 5). When the tip of the bending piece 22 abuts on the holding piece 21, the interval between the holding pieces 21 is widened and the holding portion 20 can be widened. Furthermore, when the interval between the holding pieces 21 increases, the clamping force of the fixing pieces 11 that are continuous with the holding pieces 21 increases.

Therefore, a locking portion 23 is provided on the inner side surface of the holding piece 21 with which the tip of the bending piece 22 abuts so as to lock the tip of the bending piece 22 in contact with the holding piece 21 so as not to shift. The engaging portion 23 shown in the figure is formed in the shape of a horizontal ridge, and is continuously provided along the longitudinal direction of the holding piece 21 . This ridge shape also has the effect of stabilizing the cable C within the holding piece 21 .

Further, by bending the bending piece 22, two holding portions 20, an upper holding portion 20A and a lower holding portion 20B, can be formed in the holding portion 20 with the bending portion 22A as a boundary (see FIG. 5).

At this time, a pair of bending pieces 22 are formed on one holding piece 21, and one upper holding piece 21A is provided between the pair of bending pieces 22. As shown in FIG. Further, a pair of upper holding pieces 21A are provided along the longitudinal side edge of the other holding piece 21. As shown in FIG. Therefore, the tips of the pair of bending pieces 22 are configured to abut against the insides of the pair of upper holding pieces 21A facing each other. The illustrated upper holding portion 20A is composed of an upper holding piece 21A having a narrower width than the holding piece 21 forming the lower holding portion 20B. One upper holding piece 21A is extended from the central portion of one of the holding pieces 21 of the lower holding portion 20B, and a pair of bent pieces 22 are formed on the left and right sides of this upper holding piece 21A.

On the other holding piece 21 of the lower holding portion 20B, a pair of left and right upper holding pieces 21A are formed on both sides of the holding piece 21 excluding the central portion. A pair of bending pieces 22 are configured to abut on the pair of upper holding pieces 21A.

The bending piece 22 is used by being bent when increasing the clamping force of the fixing piece 11 or widening the holding portion 20 . For example, when fixing the fixing portion 10 to the lip portion P1 of the channel material P, the clamping force of the fixing piece 11 increases simply by holding the cable C in the holding piece 21, so the strength of the fixing piece 11 is increased by the bending piece 22. It does not need to be raised (see Figure 1). However, when the bending piece 22 is bent, the upper holding portion 20A and the lower holding portion 20B are formed. 22 is used (see FIG. 5).

On the other hand, when fixing the fixing portion 10 by sandwiching various members such as angles and hanging bolts in the fixing piece 11, the bending piece 22 is used to adjust the interval inside the fixing portion 10. FIG. In this case, since the clamping force can be finely adjusted depending on the contact position of the bending piece 22, the optimum fixing force can be selected.

Furthermore, in the illustrated example, a dogleg-shaped bent portion 21B is formed at the tip of the upper holding piece 21A (see FIG. 3). The bent portion 21B narrows the interval between the upper ends of the upper holding portion 20A. Therefore, the cable C in the upper holding piece 21A becomes difficult to come off. Also, a binding wire (not shown) can be tied to this bent portion 21B. Then, since the tip of the upper holding piece 21A is closed, the cable C is prevented from coming off.

Also, in the fixed portion 10, the lower end portion of the fixed piece 11 is opened in a V-shape to facilitate attachment to the fixed member (see FIGS. 5 and 6).

The configurations of the fixing portion 10 and the holding portion 20 of the present invention are not limited to the illustrated examples, and design changes are possible without changing the gist of the present invention.
