Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify structure and reduce weight and perform simple fixing. SOLUTION: The release end side, where band plates are folded, of a laminate are formed in a Y-shape. Approximate oval holes 4a and 4b having a long diameter extending along the longitudinal direction of the band plate are opened in the vicinities of Y-shaped end parts 3a and 3b and narrow opening parts 5a and 5b having size shorter than the long diameter are formed in the respective flanks on one side of the approximate oval holes 4a and 4b and in a reverse direction to each other. Meanwhile, the other end side of the laminate is folded and joining holes 7a and 7b to couple the other member are formed in the vicinity of the folded part.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a clip for attaching a lighting device or the like to a pipe of a pipe structure constituting a stage or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional clips of this type include types such as a clip 30 shown in FIG. 6 and a clip 40 shown in FIG. The clip 30 shown in FIG. 6 is similar to a clip used for washing or the like, and presses the lever 35 against the elastic force of the torsion coil spring 31 to open the holding portion 32 to hold the pipe 34. Things. Reference numeral 33 in the drawing denotes a rubber material attached to the holding surface.

[0003] A clip 40 shown in FIG. 7 inserts a pipe into an opening of a metal fitting 37 opened on one side and fixes it with a screw 38. Insert the shaft 43 of the lighting equipment etc.
The connection is made by fixing at 1, 42.

[0004]

However, the conventional clip has a complicated structure, is expensive, and has a problem that a method for fixing the pipe to the pipe is troublesome.

[0005] Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object to provide a clip which has a simple structure, is lightweight, and can be easily fixed.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, a clip according to the present invention is characterized in that the open end of a polymer obtained by bending a strip is formed into a Y-shape, and the strip is formed near the end of the Y-shape. A substantially elliptical hole having a major axis along the longitudinal direction is opened, and further, an opening narrower than the major axis is formed on one side of each of the substantially elliptical holes and in the opposite direction to each other. It is characterized in that the other end is bent and a joint hole is formed near the other end so that another member can be connected. ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, it is lightweight and easy to handle, and it becomes possible to fix easily only by hitting the opening part mutually opposite to a pipe and twisting.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 5 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a clip, and FIGS. 2 to 5 are views showing a manufacturing process.

As shown in FIG. 2, the clip 1 of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 uses a strip having elasticity, for example, a tough stainless steel strip, and has long diameters near both ends 3a and 3b of the strip 8. Are opened along the longitudinal direction of the band plate 8, and the pipe 11 can be inserted in one side of each of the substantially elliptical holes 4a and 4b in a direction opposite to each other and narrower than the long diameter. The openings 5a and 5b are formed, and the openings 5a and 5b are formed.
The jaws 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d are formed in b. The major diameters of the substantially elliptical holes 4a and 4b are set to dimensions that allow the pipe 11 to be inserted obliquely.

Next, the center portion of the strip 8 is bent to form a polymer 9 as shown in FIG. 3, and the bent portion 9a side of the polymer 9 is bent as shown in FIG. Connecting holes 7 for inserting bolts (not shown) for connecting other members to
7b is drilled. Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the open end side is opened at substantially 90 degrees to form a Y-shape.
Is welded, and the parts are integrated to complete.

Next, the operation of the clip having this configuration will be described. First, the openings 5a and 5b formed at the Y-shaped end of the clip 1 are applied from both side surfaces of the pipe 11, and the pipe 11 is twisted in that direction so that the pipe 11 has substantially elliptical holes 4a and 4b.
b. Thereby, the pipe 11 is connected to the jaw 6a,
In addition to locking at 6b, 6c, 6d, it becomes possible to fix the Y-shaped portion so that it does not slip down due to the elastic force. In addition, when detaching the fixing to the pipe, it can be easily removed by twisting in the opposite direction.

Further, it is possible to select the connection holes 7a and 7b depending on the mounting direction of the connection member, and to connect all members including the lighting fixture via bolts and connection fittings (not shown).

In this embodiment, a stainless steel material is used as the material of the clip, but the present invention is not limited to this, and any material having an elastic force can be used. Also, the size of the substantially elliptical hole can be applied to various pipes by changing the size according to the pipe diameter.

[0013]

According to the present invention, the opening in the Y-shaped portion of the clip can be fixed easily by hitting the opening from both sides of the pipe and twisting in the direction. It is possible to withstand holding. In addition, the clip of the present invention can be applied to spotlight mounting, hat hooks, coat hooks, and anything else fixed to a pipe.
