Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pipe support, and more particularly to a pipe support for attaching pipes such as fuel pipes and brake tubes to an automobile body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pipe retaining piece is provided facing a pipe insertion opening, a pipe receiving seat is provided at the bottom of the insertion opening, and a main body thereof is provided with an insertion fitting portion for a stud bolt provided on a mounting object. Pipe supports have been known. (For example, see Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-85796)

[0003]

However, in the conventional pipe support, it is not possible to visually recognize that the pipe support is sufficiently and accurately attached to the object to be attached (hereinafter referred to as the body) through the stud bolt. It wasn't easy. If the connection between the body and the pipe support was not sufficient, the gap between the two could cause the pipe holder to rattle.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems. The gist of the present invention is to provide a pipe retaining piece facing the pipe insertion port, and a pipe receiving member at the bottom of the insertion port. A pipe support having a seat, and a main body of which is provided with an insertion fitting portion for a stud bolt provided on an attachment target, wherein the insertion fitting portion has an insertion opening for the stud bolt and one or both sides thereof. And a movable piece that extends downward from the bottom wall toward the center of the bottom, and is provided on the bottom of the pipe support.

[0005]

In the present invention, when the pipe support is attached to the stud bolt, the movable piece provided at the bottom of the bolt insertion opening of the insertion portion is pushed outward by the lower end of the stud bolt to be inserted. Thereby, it is visually confirmed that the pipe support is correctly attached to the attachment target. Further, the elastic member provided adjacent to the insertion port of the stud bolt fills the gap between the object to be attached and the pipe supporting tool by its elasticity, and prevents rattling of the pipe supporting tool.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT FIG. 1 shows a mounting object 1, for example, an inner wall of an engine room and a stud bolt 2 fixed to the inner wall.
2 to 4 show a pipe support of the present invention, which is molded from a hard elastic body, for example, an elastic hard synthetic resin. In each figure, 11 is a pipe support body, 12
Is a pipe holding portion provided side by side on the main body 11. The figure shows six pipe holders.

Each holding portion includes a pipe insertion port 13 and a pipe retaining piece 1 extending downward from one side or both sides thereof.
4 and a pipe receiving seat 15 provided at the bottom of the insertion port. The length or shape of the pipe retaining piece 14 and the receiving seat 15
Size is determined by the thickness of the receiving pipe.

The holding part on the leftmost side in FIG. 2 is for a large diameter pipe, and the holding part on the rightmost side is for a small diameter pipe. In addition, as shown in the third holding portion from the left side, attach the pipe retaining piece 14 to the pipe insertion opening 13
May be provided on both sides of, and may be formed by a pair of elastic pieces 16 that open the receiving seat 15 upward. In addition, 17
Is a rising portion that forms a holding portion together with the pipe retaining piece and the receiving seat. The above-mentioned structure is conventionally well known in this type of pipe support, and the number of holding portions, the shape and structure of the retaining piece and the receiving seat are arbitrarily designed depending on the arrangement of the pipes to be held. It is profitable.

In FIGS. 2 to 4, reference numeral 18 denotes an insertion port for the stud bolt 2, and rising portions 19, 19 on both sides of the insertion port.
The retaining pieces 20, 20 respectively extend downward in two stages. Each retaining piece 20 has a concave portion 21 at its tip and has a crab-like shape in the front view. Through holes 22 are provided at the bottom of the insertion opening 18, and movable pieces 23 extend from the main body 11 on both sides thereof toward the center. The movable pieces 23, 23 have their tip ends balanced with each other, or are connected in advance by a thin connecting film. A raised portion 24 is formed at the tip of the movable piece 23 shown. Elastic members 25, 25 extending in opposite directions from the center of the upper surfaces of the rising portions 19, 19 are formed in the width direction of the main body 11 above the insertion opening 18. This elastic member, in the illustrated embodiment,
It is a strip.

This embodiment is constructed as described above and is used as follows. First, the pipe holder 1 at the left end of FIG.
2, pipes are appropriately inserted into the respective holding portions as shown by phantom lines, and then, as shown by arrows in FIG.
The pipe support is moved upward toward the stud bolt 2 shown in FIG.

Then, each retaining piece 20 is pushed open by the stud bolt, and when the pipe support is attached to the body 1 sufficiently and accurately, the stud bolt 2 is released.
The lower end pushes the movable piece 23 downward to open the state shown in FIG. This makes it extremely easy to see from the outside. At this time, the tip of each retaining piece 20 is inserted into the thread groove of the stud bolt, and prevents the stud bolt from coming out of the insertion opening 18. The recess 21 serves for engagement with the stud bolt 2. The movable piece 2
The raised portion 24 of 3 is a movable piece 23 by a stud bolt.
Of the pipe support device, and helps to visually confirm that the pipe support device is sufficiently and accurately attached to the body 1.

At the same time, the elastic members 25, 25 are
As shown in FIG. 5, both ends thereof are pushed by the body 1 and bent downward, so that the pipe supporting member is always elastically coupled to the body 1 to prevent looseness therebetween.

[0013]

According to the present invention, the pipe support can be attached to the stud bolt of the body with one touch, and whether or not the pipe support is attached is determined sufficiently and accurately. The protrusion of the movable piece provided on the lower surface makes it easy to visually recognize, and of course, it can be confirmed by touching with a hand. Especially, when the pipe support is attached to the body by the upward work in the assembly process, the efficiency can be remarkably improved. Also,
Since the pipe support is attached to the stud bolt by the retaining piece and its elasticity, even if the diameter or shape of the stud bolt changes, the pipe support can be adapted to exhibit a reliable supporting action. further,
Since the elastic member is arranged adjacent to the stud bolt insertion port of the pipe support, the pipe support can be securely connected to the body, and the play between them can be eliminated.
