Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a method of holding an object such as a pipe or a harness body by a synthetic resin or the like, which is attached to a desired mounting panel and held at a desired location on the surface of the mounting panel. Regarding ingredients.

Conventionally, as the most common type of holder for pipes, etc., as shown in FIG. The object to be held B is held by the curved portion D of C, and the mounting flat plate portions E and E' extending from this curved portion D are pressed against the mounting panel A, and the flat plate portions E and E' are A device is used that is fixed to the same panel A using screws G and G' screwed through the mounting holes F and F'.

However, this requires a lot of effort and time to tighten screws G and G', which greatly reduces the workability of manufacturing the required product. Even when removing it, screws G and G' must be screwed in using a tool.

Therefore, in order to eliminate the above-mentioned defects, the methods disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 49-30886 and Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-173190 have already been disclosed.

However, in all of these structures, both sides of the holder are simply locked into the through-holes of the mounting panel, and there is no elastically flexible part when removing the holder after it is fixed in the through-holes. Therefore, removal was extremely difficult.

The present invention focuses on the above-mentioned conventional problems, and makes it possible to release the mounting panel by a one-touch operation without using any tools.
In addition, the purpose is to allow it to be constructed only from materials such as synthetic resins that do not have the risk of rusting, thereby improving reliability for long-term use.

To describe the present invention in detail with reference to illustrated embodiments, as shown in the attached state in FIGS. 2 and 3, this holder, which can be made entirely of synthetic resin, is curved in an arc The main body 1 is provided with a bent locking portion 2 at one end and an elastic fitting/disengaging portion 3 having a dogleg shape in cross section at the other end.

In the main body 1 shown here, holding protrusions 4, 4', . In the embodiment shown in the figure as the bending locking part 2, there is a preceding insertion piece 5 formed at the outer end, an upright piece 6 connected thereto, and a further extending continuously inward. In addition, a finger rest auxiliary piece 8 is provided to protrude in the direction in which the upright piece 6 extends.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, first insert the preceding insertion piece 5 into the locking hole H that is pre-drilled in the mounting panel A, and then insert the same piece 5 into the locking hole H in the drawing. By advancing the insertion piece 5 upward, the insertion piece 5 can be attached to the back surface A' of the mounting panel A. At this time, the upright piece 6 is fitted into the locking mounting hole H, and the abutment surface 7 is attached to the back surface A' of the mounting panel A. The bending locking portion 2 is removably locked to the mounting panel A by being in contact with the surface A'' of the mounting panel A. At this time, the main body 1 and the finger rest auxiliary piece 8 are Arranged on the surface A″ side.

What is shown in FIG. 4 is the bent locking portion 2.
However, contrary to the above embodiment, the preceding insertion piece 5 is bent inward rather than outward, and the engaging surface 7 is extended outward rather than inward. However, by configuring the main body 1 to have appropriate flexibility, it is possible to insert and lock the preceding insertion piece 5 into the locking attachment hole H, and to remove it.

Next, the elastic fitting/disengaging portion 3 formed at the other end is provided with a fitting/disengaging protrusion 9 and a finger rest piece 10 protruding opposite to the finger rest auxiliary piece 8. 9 is inserted into the mounting hole H' from the surface A'' side of the mounting panel A, and after deformation and reduction, it is fitted into the mounting hole H' in a state where it is prevented from coming off due to the elastic return force to its original shape. It is structured as follows.

The fitting/disengaging protrusion 9 shown here has an inner part 11 connected to the main body 1 and an outer part 12 opposite thereto.
The base portions 11', 1 of the inner and outer portions 11, 12 are connected by a bent portion 13 to form a V-shaped side surface.
2' is formed with a fitting/disconnecting mounting hole H' on its outer surface side, and an inner fitting notch 14 and an outer fitting notch 15, which are fitted when being pushed in, respectively, and the inner and outer parts 11, 12
A deformation allowing space 16 for escape is opened between the two, and an end portion 12'' of the base 12' of the outer portion 12 that comes into contact with the surface A'' of the mounting panel A when the fitting/disconnecting protrusion 9 is fitted. The finger rest piece 10 is provided to protrude perpendicularly to the panel A.

Furthermore, in the illustrated inner and outer parts 11 and 12, engagement members 18 consisting of a male body 17 and a female body 17' are provided protruding from the opposing inner surfaces of the base parts 11' and 12', respectively. The protruding dimension of the member 18 is such that the male body 17 and the female body 17' are engaged when the protrusion 9 is deformed and reduced when the protrusion 9 is fitted into the attachment hole H'. However, from this deformed and reduced state, as will be described later, the finger rest piece 10
By pushing in the direction of the arrow, the two bodies 17, 17' are set to engage for the first time, and of course the engagement is released by pulling the finger rest piece 10 in the direction opposite to the arrow.

Therefore, in order to attach the above-mentioned holder to the mounting panel A in which the locking mounting hole H and the fitting/disengaging mounting hole H' have been drilled in advance, first lock the bent locking part 2 as described above with reference to FIG. The holder is first inserted into the mounting hole H, and the first insertion piece 5 and the engagement surface 7 are attached to the back side A' and the front side A'' of the mounting panel A, respectively, and one end of the holder is attached. It locks onto the mounting panel A in a non-removable state, and also connects the inner surface 1' and surface of the main body 1.
A'', the fitting protrusion 9 of the elastic fitting part 3 is inserted into the fitting/detachment mounting hole H' while holding the object B between the
Push in.

As a result of the above pushing operation, the fitting/disconnecting protrusion 9 which is deformed and contracted at one end and protrudes toward the rear surface A' side of the mounting panel A is fitted into the fitting/disconnecting mounting hole H' due to the restoring force due to its elasticity. The inner engagement notch 14 and the outer engagement notch 15 are engaged with the edge of the mounting hole H' to prevent it from coming off, and the attachment operation of the holder is completed. Projections 4, 4'...
This prevents the held object B from moving unintentionally.

Next, when it is necessary to remove the above-mentioned holder from the mounting panel A, it is sufficient to apply an external force in the direction of the arrow to the finger rest piece 10, and as a result, the fitting/disengaging protrusion 9 of the elastic fitting/disengaging portion 3 is deformed and reduced. Therefore, the protruding piece 9 can be pulled out from the fitting/dismounting mounting hole H' to the surface A'' side using the finger rest piece 10, etc., and thus the held object B can be released from the grip. Removal of the holder is completed by pulling out the bent locking portion 2 from the locking attachment hole H.

In order to apply the external force indicated by the arrow to the finger rest piece 10 as described above, in the illustrated embodiment, the finger rest auxiliary piece 8 is provided in a protruding manner. At this time, if sufficient clamping force is applied and the finger piece 10 is pushed in, the male body 17 and the female body 17' will engage, and the reduced escape The deformation allowable space 16 is maintained in the reduced state, and therefore, the operation such as pulling out the fitting/disengaging piece 9 while applying the external force is unnecessary, and the engagement of the engaging member 18 is eliminated. After mating, the external force is released and removal can be done simply by pulling out.

The present invention, as embodied by the above embodiments,
The main body 1, which is formed into a curved shape so as to sandwich the object to be held between it and the surface of the mounting panel, has a main body 1 at one end that can be inserted into the locking mounting hole of the mounting panel in advance and can be locked on the back side of the mounting panel. The bent locking part 2 is formed at the other end of the main body 1 with an elastic fitting part 3 having a dogleg-shaped cross section that can be inserted into and removed from the fitting hole of the panel. From the outer side of the elastic mating/detachment part 3, the above-mentioned mating/detachment hole is opened by pushing inward.
Since the finger abutment piece 10, which can freely deform and contract the elastic fitting/removal portion, is configured to protrude toward the surface side of the mounting panel A until it can escape from the mounting panel A, If mounting holes H and H' are drilled in the holes H and H', the locking operation of the bending locking part 2 and
Next, just by pressing the elastic fitting/disengaging part 3,
Now that the installation to the mounting panel has been completed, it can be installed extremely quickly with simple operations without using screws that may cause rust, and can be done with just one hand without tools such as a screwdriver. This can dramatically improve the efficiency of this type of work.

Moreover, in the present invention, by pushing the finger rest piece 10, the fitting/disengaging piece 9 can be deformed and reduced against its elasticity. By a simple pushing operation with a fingertip, the fitting/disassembling protrusion 9 can be removed from the fitting/disassembling mounting hole, and after detachment, the bending locking part 2 can be easily pulled out. Even in the case of replacement, etc., the request can be handled immediately with only manual operations.
