【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 schematically show a pipe holder 1 which is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. A pipe holder 1 according to the present invention comprises three parts, a nut-shaped member 2, a pipe holding member 3 and a connecting member 4, which are each molded from plastic, and for the convenience of delivery and pipe mounting work, a connecting member 4 is provided. Are connected to the nut-shaped member 2 with the pipe holding member 3 interposed therebetween and are assembled and assembled integrally. 3 and 4 show details of the nut-shaped member 2, FIGS. 5 and 6 show details of the pipe holding member 3, and FIGS. 7 to 9 show details of the connecting member 4. Further, in FIG. 10, the pipes 6 and 7 such as the fuel pipes and the brake pipes held by the pipe holder 1 are temporarily fixed to the panel 8 via the screw stud 9 welded to the panel 8 of the vehicle body or the like. The state is shown in FIG. 11 and the final stop state is shown in FIG.

First, the nut-shaped member 2 is composed of a hollow shaft portion 11 that receives the screw stud 9, a flange 12 formed at a lower portion of the shaft portion 11, and a head portion 13 formed at a lower end side thereof. The head 13 is formed, for example, in a hexagonal shape for the rotation of the nut-shaped member 2. At the upper end of the shaft portion 11, a locking portion 14 that locks with the locking claw of the through hole of the connecting member 4 is formed. The entrance portion 16 of the hole 15 of the shaft portion 11 is tapered to facilitate picking up the tip of the screw stud. When the head portion 13 of the nut-shaped member 2 is rotated by an impact wrench or the like and the shaft portion 11 is screwed into the threaded stud, the shaft portion 11 is screwed and fixed while being threaded by the stud. By this screwing, the flange 12 presses the pipe holding member 3 against the panel, and the pipes 6 and 7 held by the panel holding member 3 are fixed to the panel 8. By reversing the head 13, the pipe holder 1 can be removed from the stud 9.

The pipe holding member 3 includes a base body 19 having a hollow portion 18 formed in a large hole that vertically penetrates so as to receive the connecting member 4, and a plurality of integrally formed laterally sides of the base body 19. Pipe grips 20, 21 (only two of which are shown for convenience of description). Each of the pipe grip portions 20 and 21 is formed in a substantially U-shaped trough shape having an upper opening, and an elastic wing 22 extending obliquely from the upper end to the bottom surface is formed to prevent the pushed pipe from coming off. As shown in FIG. 5, the hollow portion 18 that receives the connecting member 4 is formed in a long hole that is long in the vertical direction (the direction of the length b). It is formed to have a play that allows it to move not only in the direction of b) but also to the left and right (direction of length a).

The connecting member 4 is formed as a hollow cylindrical portion 25 having a flange 24 having a larger diameter than the hollow portion 18 of the base 19 of the pipe holding member 3 at the upper end portion. The connecting member 4 is housed in the base hollow portion 18 such that the flange 24 is located on the panel surface side (the upper portion in FIG. 6). The outer diameter of the cylindrical portion 25 is smaller than the length a of the inner diameter of the base hollow portion 18, and thus, in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the pipe held by the pipe grip portion 20, that is, in the left and right directions in FIG. A play is formed in which the connecting member 4 can move. Moreover, since the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion 25 is smaller than the short diameter a of the inner diameter of the hollow base portion 18, the connecting member 4 can also move in the direction of the long diameter b, that is, the longitudinal direction of the pipe. Therefore, when the pipe is attached to the vehicle body, the pipe holding member 3 can be adjusted with respect to the connecting member 4 fixed by the nut-shaped member 2 in the longitudinal direction of the pipe and the direction orthogonal thereto.

The size of the flange 24 of the connecting member 4 is such that the gap between the connecting member 4 and the hollow body portion 18 is large when the connecting member 4 moves in the direction of the minor axis a and the major axis b of the hollow body portion 18. It is formed so that it is not exposed. This eliminates the inconvenience that the tip of the screw stud enters the gap and comes off the nut-shaped member 2. The inner diameter of the through hole 26 of the cylindrical portion 25 is formed larger than that of the shaft portion 11 of the nut-shaped member 2, and the through hole 26 extends from the side opposite to the panel surface side of the base body 19 (the lower side in FIG. 6) to the base body hollow. The shaft portion 11 of the nut-shaped member 2 inserted in the portion 18 is received. Further, a locking claw 27 protruding inside the through hole 26 is formed at an intermediate height position of the cylindrical portion 25 of the connecting member 4, and is locked to the locking portion 14 of the nut-shaped member 2, The nut-shaped member 2 is connected to the connecting member 4. Further, a pair of temporary locking claws 28 that lock with the screw of the screw stud are formed on the upper portion of the through hole 26 of the connecting member 4 to perform the function of temporary fixing to the stud. If the downward tapered surface 29 including the locking claw 28 is formed at the upper entrance of the through hole 26, the tip of the screw stud can be easily picked up.

A procedure for attaching the pipes 6 and 7 to the panel 8 using the pipe holder 1 having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. In FIG. 10, the connecting member 4 is inserted into the hollow body portion 18 of the pipe holding member 3 from the upper portion of the base body 19 so that the flange 24 is brought into contact with the upper portion of the base body. On the other hand, the shaft portion of the nut-shaped member 2 is inserted from the lower portion of the base body 19 and inserted into the through hole 26 of the connecting member cylindrical portion 25, and the locking portion 14 is locked to the locking claw of the cylindrical portion 25. The connecting member 4 and the nut-shaped member 2 are connected to the pipe holding member 3. The pipes 6 and 7 are pushed into the pipe grip portions 20 and 21 of the pipe holding member 3 and held by the elastic wings 22. In this state, the pipe holder 1 is delivered to the assembly line of the automobile and is pressed so that the screw stud 9 fixed to the panel 8 is received in the through hole 26 of the connecting member 4, and the temporary holding of the connecting member 4 is performed. The locking claw 28 is locked to the screw of the stud 9 and the pipe holder 1 is temporarily fixed to the stud 9. In this temporary fixing, since the flange 24 of the connecting member 4 is formed to have a large diameter and closes the gap between the connecting member cylindrical portion 25 and the hollow body 18 of the pipe holding member 3, the tip of the stud 9 is a cylinder. The nut 25 is reliably guided to the through hole 26 of the portion 25, and the screwing of the nut-shaped member 2 into the shaft portion is secured.

The pipe holder 1 is properly positioned on the stud 9 so that the pipes 6 and 7 are properly arranged on the panel 8 during the above-described temporary fixing. When the pipe holder 1 is displaced with respect to the stud in the direction b of FIG. 5, that is, in the longitudinal direction of the pipe, the connecting member 4 can be moved in the direction b to adjust the pipe holder 1 relative to the stud. 5 is displaced in the a direction, that is, in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the pipe, the connecting member 4 can be moved in the a direction for adjustment. Then, when the head portion 13 of the nut-shaped member 2 is rotated by an impact trench or the like, the shaft portion 11 of the nut-shaped member 2 is screwed into the threaded stud 9 while being threaded, and the flange 12 fixes the base body 19 of the pipe holding member 3. By pressing upward, the connecting member 4 together with the pipe holding member 3 are strongly pressed against the panel 8 to fix the pipe holder 1, and the pipes 6 and 7 are firmly connected to the panel 8. This state is shown in FIG. When removing the pipe holder 1 for replacing the pipe or the like, it can be easily removed by rotating the head portion 13 of the nut-shaped member 2 in the reverse direction.

[Effect of device]

 According to the pipe holder of the present invention, the base body of the pipe holding member is formed in a hollow shape, and the hollow portion is provided with a connecting member formed in a hollow cylindrical shape having a flange having a diameter larger than the hollow portion at one end. The nut is inserted into the base hollow portion from the side opposite to the panel surface side of the base body in a state where the connecting member is housed in the base hollow portion so that the flange is located on the panel surface side of the base body. The nut-shaped member and the connecting member are connected to each other by receiving the shaft portion of the member, and the through hole of the connecting member is provided with a temporary fixing means for engaging with the screw of the stud. Since the connecting member is housed in the hollow portion of the pipe holding member with play that can move in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the pipe held by the pipe holding member, only the longitudinal direction of the pipe should be attached when mounting the pipe on the vehicle body. Not It can also be adjusted in the orthogonal direction, so that the panel surface can be adjusted two-dimensionally, and even if there is only one type of connecting member that fits the studs, many pipe holding members can be prepared according to the layout of the pipe, As a result, when changing the layout of the pipe, it is only necessary to change the pipe holding member having a simple structure, and the overall cost of changing the pipe holding device due to the change can be reduced. Since the gap is hidden by the connecting member flange, the tip of the stud is surely guided to the shaft portion of the nut-shaped member, and accurate mounting is secured.
