Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention is a method for displaying displays, frames, lights, and other interior structures in stores, homes, exhibition halls, etc. by connecting cables such as long wires. The present invention relates to a hanging fixture that allows the length and tension of the cable to be adjusted in order to position a hanger or the like in an arbitrary position or to attach it to the floor, ceiling, or other surface of a suspended article.

[Conventional technology]

When installing shelves to place items indoors or in display windows, etc., when displaying clothes by hanging them, etc., to improve the display effect and space effect, or to change the arrangement when the items change. In addition, it is required that it be easy to arbitrarily select the height of the shelves, the position and height of hanging clothes, etc.

For this reason, recently there have been seen mounting fittings in which a sleeve is spring-loaded in a casing and can be fixed at any position on a long and narrow cable body using a ball held in the sleeve.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In that case, the spring is arranged between a seat provided on the sleeve itself and a seat provided inside the casing;
When installing a seat or spring holder inside the casing, it is necessary to fit the sleeve and spring into the casing and then secure the spring holder to the inner wall of the casing. If a male screw is provided and screwed into the female screw, there is a problem that manufacturing is troublesome and costs are high.

The object of the present invention is to solve these conventional problems and provide a hanging fitting that is extremely simple to manufacture and can be mass-produced.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has a connecting hole 1 to which a hanging member such as a hanger can be connected, a hollow cylindrical casing 2 with both ends open, and has a tapered surface on one end side and a cable member W such as a wire. There is a through hole that can be inserted,
A sleeve 3 having a cone portion 8 along the tapered surface is resiliently deployed within the casing 2 by a spring 4,
The cable body W of the ball insertion hole 9 provided in the sleeve 3
At least two or more balls 5, 5 that can squeeze
are arranged so as to be able to approach and separate from each other and to be able to protrude and retract into the through hole, so that the cable body W can be inserted between the balls 5, 5 in the axial direction, and the end of the cone portion 8 of the sleeve 3 The spring 4, which is engaged with a spring receiving surface formed in the above, is inserted into the casing 2 by a spring holder 7, and the spring holder 7 has an insertion hole 7' into which one end of the sleeve 3 is inserted and supported; It is provided with a plurality of claw pieces 7'' radially on its outer periphery,
The spring retainer 7 is press-fitted into the casing 2, and the claw piece 7'' is bent and fixed as an end plate on the other end side opposite to the tapered surface in the casing 2. It is a metal fitting.

〔Example〕

In the illustrated example, a casing 2 having a coupling hole 1 for coupling a hanging member such as a hanger is a hollow cylinder made of metal that is open at both the upper and lower ends, and contains at least two or more balls, for example three balls. A sleeve 3, which holds the balls 5, 5, 5 so as to be able to move toward and away from each other, is provided as an inner member so as to be movable in an axial direction perpendicular to the direction in which the balls 5 move toward and away from each other. The sleeve 3 is a pipe body with a through hole through which a cable member W such as a wire can be inserted in the axial direction between the balls, and is fitted into a tapered surface formed on the upper inner circumferential surface of the casing 2 approximately in the center. The cone part 8 has three ball insertion holes 9, each holding a ball 5, and a sleeve 3.
The upper end of the casing 2 is provided to protrude from the casing 2. The tapered surface of the casing 2 has a narrow upper end, and restricts the contact and separation of the balls 5 so that when the balls 5 are near the top of the casing 2, the distance between the balls 5, 5, 5 becomes small. When the balls 5, 5, 5 come into contact with and separate from each other, the sleeve 3 is engaged with the cable body W, or when the sleeve 3 is positioned in the opposite direction, the balls 5, 5 are separated and the casing is placed on the cable body W. The sliding movement is now taking place. This sleeve 3 normally has a spring 4 interposed between a spring presser 7 provided in the casing 2 and a stepped portion of the cone portion 8 so as to receive a force pushing toward the upper end of the casing 2. The casing 2 and the sleeve 3 are in a state in which they can grip the cable body W and lock it firmly.

This spring retainer 7 is a spring made of a metal disc-shaped member with an insertion hole 7' for the sleeve 3 in the center, and has a plurality of claw pieces 7'', 7''... radially on the outer periphery. There is. When fitting into the casing 2, the claw pieces 7'' are press-fitted and fixed into the casing 2 while being deformed.

Furthermore, a screw 1 is attached to the outer surface of the upwardly protruding part of the sleeve 3.
0, and the stopper member 6 is, for example, a cable member W.
A cap nut having an insertion hole 11 is detachably screwed into the cap nut.

In the figure, 12 is a hook provided on the ceiling surface or the like, and 13 is a knurled surface carved on the surface of the stopper member 6.

First, the sleeve 3 holding the balls 5, 5, 5 is inserted into the casing 2, and then the spring 4 is also loaded, and then the spring presser 7 is fitted into the casing 2. At this time, the spring presser 7 has claw pieces 7'', 7''...
is at least elastically deformed and the casing 2
The spring holder 7 is inserted into the casing 2, but when the spring holder 7 is stopped when it reaches a predetermined position, the spring holder 7 is firmly fixed to the inner wall of the casing 2 by the elastic restoring force of the claw pieces 7'', 7''.

As shown in FIG. 4, when attaching the flexible lock to the cable W hanging from the ceiling etc. via the hook 12, the stopper member 6 is attached to the sleeve 3 in advance.
Loosen the sleeve 3 so that it can move up and down as appropriate, and then insert the sleeve 3 protruding from the casing 2 into the stopper member 6.
When pushed downward against the restoring force of the spring 4, the balls 5, 5, 5 become free, and when the cable body W is inserted between them and the downward pressure is stopped at an appropriate position, the spring 4 As a result, the sleeve 3 is returned to the upper position, the cable body W is pressed and held between the balls 5, 5, and 5, and the hanging fitting is fixed to the cable body W. After that, when the loosened stopper member 6 is tightened, the suspension fitting can be used in an extremely stable state without slipping down on the cable body W.

In addition to metal, plastics, rubber, etc. may be used as the spring retainer 7 as long as it has an elastic restoring force and can be firmly fixed to the inner wall of the casing 2 with the elastic restoring force. A groove or a stepped portion may be provided for positioning the spring presser 7 and preventing it from coming off.

[Effect of idea]

In the present invention, the spring holder has an insertion hole into which one end of the sleeve is inserted and supported, and has a plurality of claw pieces radially arranged on the outer periphery of the hole, and the spring holder is press-fitted into the casing. By bending the claw piece and locking it as an end plate on the other end of the casing opposite to the tapered surface, the sleeve can be easily and securely inserted into the casing, and the sleeve can be easily and securely inserted into the casing. Sliding operations can be made stable and smooth, and by connecting the hanging member to the coupling hole, the spring retainer is prevented from slipping off from the casing, increasing stability, and the sleeve is pressed against the tapered surface and biased. It is possible to provide a suspension fitting that is extremely simple to assemble, greatly increases productivity, can reliably maintain the locking state of the spring member, and has low processing costs, in a form that can be manufactured extremely easily.
