Prior Art In order to hold and fix automobile fuel pipes, brake pipes, etc. to car body panels, it has been conventional practice to hold the pipes with a metal holder and screw the holder to the car body panel. . However, this metal holder is not preferred because it damages the pipe and generates abnormal noise due to vibrations from the automobile. For this reason, there are methods in which the holder is coated with resin, the pipe is coated with resin, and even a rubber cushion is provided between the holder and the pipe, but all of these methods are undesirable because they lead to increased costs. In addition, since the retainer is fixed to the panel with screws and nuts, it is not possible to prevent the occurrence of abnormal noise, and rust occurs due to electric contact, and washers must be attached to prevent the fixation from coming off. There is a disadvantage. In particular, mounting with screws and nuts requires drilling into the panel, and the subsequent welding of the nuts to the panel makes work difficult in the narrow spaces of automobiles.

Purpose of the invention Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a holder for pipes, etc., which is extremely easy to install and does not cause noise or rust.

Composition of the invention In order to achieve this purpose, according to the invention,
A synthetic resin holder consisting of a main body that is attached to a threaded stud fixed to a panel, and a tube gripping section that elastically grips the side surface of a cylindrical object such as a tube by pushing it into the tube gripping section. The body part is formed to hold a plurality of cylindrical articles in parallel, and the body part has a stud insertion hole in the center for receiving a threaded stud, a locking pawl formed in the stud insertion hole, and a stud insertion hole for receiving a threaded stud. and two protrusions protruding from the bottom of the main body to the panel surface with the holes in between, and the holes are respectively located at positions corresponding to the two protrusions, and the entire holder is extended from the bottom of the main body to the opening of the tube gripping part. A holder for a tube or the like is provided, which is characterized in that a retainer for covering it is attached.

Effects of the invention When the retainer for pipes and the like according to the present invention is not used, the stud insertion hole of the main body is positioned on the stud and the stud is pushed in with an appropriate force to be fixed to the panel, and the holder can be fixed to the panel for the cylindrical object such as the pipe. It can be easily installed by simply pushing it into the grip. When using a retainer, align the hole in the retainer with the protrusion on the bottom of the holder, insert the stud insertion hole into the stud, fix the holder to the panel, then grip the tube in the gripping part, and then use the retainer to There is a method of closing the opening of the tube, and a method of attaching a holder and a retainer, first inserting the tube into the gripping portion, closing the opening of the gripping portion with the retainer, and then fixing it to the panel. In any case, installing these pipes is as simple as pushing them in, and not only do they not require any tools, but they also have the advantage of being able to be done from one direction in a short time, improving work efficiency. .

Of course, the holder according to the present invention is made of synthetic resin and is fixed by using studs fixed to the panel, so there is no need to drill holes in the panel or troublesome nut welding work. For example, there will be no abnormal noise or rust caused by car vibrations. Further, when installing the pipe, there is no need to cover the pipe with resin or place any rubber cushions.

In addition, since the opening of the tube grip part can be closed with a retainer, important safety parts such as brake oil pipes and fuel pipes can be held securely and firmly even under adverse conditions such as when driving on rough roads. In addition, during maintenance or reassembly, they can be easily removed in the same way as screws and nuts are installed.
