Abstract

PURPOSE:To visually or acoustically confirm a pipe holding tool mounted on a regular mounting position. CONSTITUTION:A pipe holding tool 10 is provided with a fixed part 12 having a hole 20 for inserting a stud bolt 18 secured to a panel 16 of a car body and a pipe holding part 14 integrally provided in the fixed part. The fixed part 12 has a pawl 22 engageable with a screw 19 of the stud bolt 18 in a hole surface of the hole 20. The hole 20 is closed by a film 24 broken by the stud bolt 18 when the pipe holding tool 10 is placed in a regular mounting position.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pipe holder, and more particularly to a pipe holder suitable for holding a brake tube or a fuel tube in a vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A pipe holder is formed by a fixed portion having a through hole and a pipe holding portion integrally provided on the fixed portion and having a plurality of spring pieces for holding a pipe. Insert a stud bolt that is fixed to an object such as a panel into the hole of the fixed part, insert a clip with a pawl into the gap between the stud bolt and the hole surface of the hole of the fixed part, and then insert the pawl A pipe holding device that engages with a bolt has been proposed.
77 publication).

[0003]

In the pipe holding device described above, the pipe holder is clamped by the clip and the object and attached to the object, but rattling may occur due to a manufacturing error. On the other hand, if the clip is eliminated and a pawl is directly provided in the hole of the fixed portion of the pipe holder and the pawl is engaged with the screw of the stud bolt, rattling does not occur.

On the other hand, when the pawl is provided on the fixed portion of the pipe holder, the pawl of the pipe holder engages with the screw of the stud bolt at a plurality of positions in the axial direction of the stud bolt, and the pipe holder is fixed. Therefore, it takes time to confirm whether or not the pipe holder is attached to the proper position.

An object of the present invention is to provide a pipe holder capable of visually or audibly confirming that the pipe holder has been installed at a proper mounting position.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprises a fixed portion having a hole into which a stud bolt fixed to an object is inserted,
A pipe holder provided with a pipe holding portion integrally provided with the fixed portion, wherein the fixed portion has a pawl engageable with a screw of the stud bolt on a hole surface of the hole,
The hole is blocked by a membrane that is broken by the stud bolt when the pipe retainer is in its proper mounting position.

[0007]

[Operation and effect] Insert the stud bolt into the hole of the fixed portion of the pipe holder and push the pipe holder until the film is broken. When the membrane is breached, the pipe retainer is in its normal mounting position.

It can be visually or audibly confirmed that the membrane has been ruptured, and when this is confirmed, the pipe holder is in the proper mounting position. Therefore, the pipe holder can be easily mounted in the proper position. it can.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A pipe holder 10 is made of hard plastic, and as shown in FIGS.
The fixed portion 12 and the pipe holding portion 14 are integrally provided.

The fixed portion 12 has a hole 2 into which a stud bolt 18 fixed to an object 16 such as a vehicle panel is inserted.
Has 0. Further, the fixed portion 12 has a pawl 22 capable of engaging with the screw 19 of the stud bolt 18 on the hole surface of the hole 20. In the illustrated embodiment, four pawls 22 project obliquely toward the axis of the hole 20. These claws 22 are
The stud bolts 18 are preferably arranged so as to match the pitch of the screws 19.

The hole 20 of the fixed portion 12 is a thin portion, that is, the film 2.
Blocked by 4. The membrane 24 is the pipe holder 10.
Stud bolt 18 when
Torn by. That is, the membrane 24 is the pipe holder 1
The thickness of the stud bolt 18 and the position of the membrane 24 are such that the stud bolt 18 can be pierced through the membrane 24 when the pipe holder 10 is in the proper mounting position. To determine.

The pipe holding portion 14 has a grip portion 26 corresponding to the number to be held by the pipe holder 10 and the outer diameter of the pipe. In the illustrated embodiment, there are five grip portions 26, each grip portion 26 being a pipe 2.
The receiving surface 30 to which almost half of the outer periphery of 8 closely contacts, and the pipe 2
8 has an elastic piece 31 for pressing against the receiving surface 30. The pipe holding portion 14 extends in an appropriate length in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface.

When the pipe 28 is brought into the grip portion 26 of the pipe holding portion 14 and pushed in, the elastic piece 31 is elastically deformed, and when the pipe 28 reaches the receiving surface 30, the elastic piece 31.
Restores and presses the pipe 28 against the receiving surface 30. After holding the required number of pipes 28 in the pipe holder 10, as shown in FIG. 2, the holes 20 of the pipe holder 10 are made to face the stud bolts 18 and the pipe holder 10 is pushed in.
When the pawl 22 engages the screw 19 of the stud bolt 18, the pipe retainer 10 is locked, but further pushes the pipe retainer 10 until the membrane 24 is broken. Membrane 2
When 4 is broken by the stud bolt 18, the pipe holder 10 is in its normal mounting position. Therefore, it is found that the proper mounting position is obtained only by visually confirming that the membrane 24 is broken or by hearing the popping sound to be broken.
