A fastening part 32 formed at the other end of the pushing body 31 and surrounding the outer circumferential surface of the post 1,

Two corresponding horizontal guides 33 formed on both sides of the outer circumferential surface of the pushing body 31 and slidable along the two horizontal guides 15,

.

Here, the pushing body 31 is formed in a generally cylindrical shape so that one end of the pushing body 31 can be inserted into the receiving portion 21 of the holding cap 20,

The contact portion 32 has a fitting space portion 321 having a curvature corresponding to the outer circumferential surface of the post 1 and penetrating from the front center to the inside of the pushing body 31.

3 and 4, the pusher 30 is

And a slip prevention member 34 arranged in the tightening portion 32 so as to be brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the post 1 when the pusher 30 is moved toward the post 1. [

The slip prevention member 34 is made of an elastic material and has two circular protrusions 341 having the same center and different diameters on the front surface and an arrow shaped fitting portion 342 formed on the rear surface .

The fitting portion 342 is forced into the fitting space portion 321 of the tight fitting portion 32 so that the end of the arrow is caught on the inner bottom surface of the pushing body 31.

The slip prevention member 34 is pressed by the pusher 30 which advances during the tightening operation of the holding cap 20 in a state where it is interposed between the tip of the outer circumference of the post 1 and the close contact portion 32, It is possible to prevent the supporting unit of the present invention from slipping on the post 1. As a result,

And, as in Figure 3, the pusher 30

Are formed on the upper and lower sides of the outer peripheral surface of the one end portion of the pushing body 31 so as to respectively enter the upper and lower portions of the opening portion 12 of the coupler 10 in the entering operation of the pusher 30 toward the post 1 And further includes two flanges 35.

At this time, the two flanges 35 are preferably formed to occupy the upper and lower space portions of the opening portion 12, respectively.

As a result, the two flanges 35 are positioned at the upper and lower ends of the opening portion 12 when the pusher 30 is forcibly rotated by an external force (such as a twist or an external impact) It is prevented from being forcibly rotated.

As the two flanges 35 are brought into close contact with the bottom surface of the receiving portion 21 of the holding cap 20, the pusher 30 can be smoothly moved forward during the fastening operation of the holding cap 20 do.

As shown in Fig. 1, both end portions of the contact portion 32 of the pusher 30

Two entry guides 322 inclined in the retracting direction of the pusher 30 are formed.

The pushing body 31 can be easily introduced into the opening 12 of the coupler 10 through the two entry guides 322 and the two corresponding horizontal guides 33 of the pusher 30 It is also easy to insert it into the two horizontal guides 15 of the coupler 10.

While the present invention has been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that various changes and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Modifications and variations are to be construed as falling within the scope of the present invention.
