Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a support device that can be used for tree branch holders, clothes rod holders, and various other uses.

Conventionally, supporting devices such as tree branch supports, for example,
Since the bifurcated support is fixedly attached to the pillar, there is a drawback that the mounting position of the support cannot be changed according to the height of the tree branch. In other words, it is necessary to adjust the height of the support by cutting the support to match the height of the tree branch or adjusting the depth of the support into the ground, which is time-consuming and difficult to work with. There were flaws. In order to improve this drawback, there is a structure in which a column to which a bifurcated support is fixedly attached is slidably inserted into another column so that the column can expand and contract. but,
Such a support device requires two columns, and some processing must be applied to the columns in order to fix the columns to each other, which results in a relatively high cost and is not simple.

In view of these conventional drawbacks, the inventor of the present invention has made extensive efforts to provide a simple support device that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks.

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a support column made of metal, synthetic resin, wood, or a composite material thereof. The support column 1 usually has a circular cross section, but may have an oval or polygonal cross section.
Further, the outer wall of the support column 1 may be simply smooth, or may be provided with irregularities or protrusions as appropriate.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a support, which is made of metal, synthetic resin, or the like. The support arm 22 extends from the support arm 21 and has locking protrusions 23 on both sides of the support arm 22 near the support arm 21.
23' is provided. The column abutting portion 21 has a shape that extends along the outer wall of the column 1 in the length direction, for example, a flat plate shape, a curved plate shape, or the like. Support arm 2
As shown in FIG. 1, the rod 2 extends substantially perpendicularly to the support abutting portion 21, and has an arc-shaped upper surface recessed so that it can stably support tree branches 4, clothes poles, etc. Furthermore, the locking protrusions 23, 23' are provided protrudingly on both sides of the support arm 22, but the degree of protrusion is such that when the support 2 is attached to the support column 1, the locking protrusions 23, 23'
It is designed to protrude from both sides of the support column 1 as shown in Figures A and C. The shape of the locking protrusions 23, 23' is the first
In the case of the figure, it is made into a cylindrical shape, but this is not particularly limited. Further, in FIG. 1, 24, 24' are auxiliary protrusions, which are provided to form a pair with the locking protrusions 23, 23'.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a fixture, which is made of a single elastic metal wire. As shown in FIG. 2, the fixture 3 has a first curved portion 31 formed by folding a wire rod of a predetermined length into two approximately in the center.
The wire rods on both sides of the curved section 31 are bent in the same direction while facing each other to form second curved sections 32, 32',
Further, the wire rods are extended while facing each other, and the extension part 3
3, 33' are provided, and the ends of the extension parts 33, 33' are respectively bent inward to form locking parts 34, 34'.
is provided. The first curved portion 31 is adapted to fit into the outer wall of the column 1. The second curved portions 32 and 32' are the locking protrusions 23 and 23 of the support 2, respectively.
23'.
The locking portions 34, 34' are arcuate and can be locked to the outer wall of the support column 1.

Next, to attach the support 2 to the column 1 using the fixture 3, first contact the column abutment part 21 of the support 2 against the outer wall of the column 1, so that the locking protrusions 23, 23' are connected to the column 1. Make them almost perpendicular. Next, the fixture 3
The first curved portion 31 of the support 1 is fitted into the outer wall of the support 1,
The fixture 3 is rotated around the inner side of the curved portion 31, and the second curved portions 32, 32' are fitted into the locking protrusions 23, 23' of the support 2. Next, the locking parts 34, 34' are elastically locked to the outer wall of the column 1 while the extensions 33, 33' of the fixture 3 are elastically deformed.
In the case of FIG. 1, the auxiliary projections 24, 24' allow the extensions 33, 33' of the fixture 3 to be more elastically deformed. That is, the support 2 is attached to the column 1 by the elasticity of the attachment 3.
Further, when in use, tree branches 4, a clothesline, etc. are placed on the support 2. Note that a plurality of supports 2, 2, . . . may be attached to one support 1.

Also, it is possible to change the mounting position of the support 2 or
To remove it from the support 1, remove the locking parts 34, 34' of the fixture 3 from the support 1, contrary to the above.
The second curved portions 32, 32' may be removed from the locking protrusions 23, 23' of the support 2 by rotating the fixture 3.

As detailed above, the supporting device of the present invention includes a support column,
It consists of a support arm extending from the support arm and having locking protrusions on both sides of the support arm, and a fixture made of a bent elastic metal wire, so the number of members is minimal. The structure can be simple, and the cost can be reduced.

Further, the column abutting portion of the support is brought into contact with the outer wall of the column so that the locking protrusion is substantially perpendicular to the column, the first curved portion of the fixture is fitted to the outer wall of the column, and the second curved portion is fitted into the outer wall of the column. The curved portion is fitted into the locking protrusion of the support,
Since the locking part is elastically locked to the outer wall of the column,
The support is attached to the support column by the elasticity of the fixture, and the support can be easily attached and detached. Therefore, the support can be easily attached to any position on the support column, and the height of the support can be adjusted as necessary. Moreover, by utilizing the elasticity of the fixture, the support can be attached and detached and used repeatedly.

Furthermore, since auxiliary protrusions are provided along with locking protrusions on both sides of the support arm of the support, the extension of the fixture is further elastically deformed, and the elasticity of the fixture allows the support to be firmly attached to the column. mounted on.

Furthermore, since a reinforcing rib is provided between the upper surface of the support arm of the support and the locking protrusion, it is possible to prevent loads such as tree branches from being applied to the support arm, and the elasticity of the attachment to the locking protrusion. Even if rebound resilience is applied due to deformation, the reinforcing ribs mutually reinforce each other, preventing breakage, etc., and allowing long-term use.

Furthermore, since the upper surface of the support arm is concave in an arc shape, it is possible to stably support an object to be supported, such as a tree branch or a clothesline.
