Description

The present invention relates to an auxiliary support member and an elongated body support unit.

For example, long body supports are used to suspend and support long bodies such as air conditioning piping and drainage pipes. When using such long body supports, an auxiliary support member may be interposed between the support part of the long body support and the long body supported by it. The auxiliary support member is configured with a support length longer than the support width of the support part in the longitudinal direction of the long body, and provides distributed support for the long body over a wide support area. This allows the long body to be supported in a stable position, and, if the long body includes insulation covering the piping, prevents a decrease in insulation performance due to the insulation collapsing.

An example of such an auxiliary support member is disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2012/160970 (Patent Document 1). The auxiliary support member in Patent Application Publication No. 2012/160970 has a pair of engaging portions (elements 13, 14) on the underside of the arc-shaped support plate (load distribution plate 20). These engaging portions are then passed through recesses (23, 24) provided in the support portion (lower bracket element 10) of the elongate body support device (conduit hanger 1) and slid circumferentially, allowing the member to be attached and detached to and from the support portion of the elongate body support device.

However, when attaching the auxiliary support member of Patent Document 1 to a long body support fixture, it must be aligned circumferentially so that the engagement portion of the auxiliary support member passes through the cutout in the support portion, which can be time-consuming. Furthermore, the auxiliary support member of Patent Document 1 is designed to be used with a dedicated long body support fixture that has a cutout in the support portion. For this reason, it is difficult or impossible to use with a long body support fixture that does not have a cutout in the support portion, resulting in low versatility.

US Patent Application Publication No. 2012/160970

It is desirable to develop a support auxiliary member that is highly versatile and can be easily and stably attached to a support device for elongated objects.

The auxiliary support member according to the present invention comprises:
An auxiliary support member interposed between a support portion of a support device for a long body that supports a long body by suspending the long body and the long body,
a support plate extending along the longitudinal direction of the elongated body and having a pair of locking projections formed on a lower surface side on at least one side in the width direction of the support plate;
a retaining piece that is swingably connected to the support plate on the side where the locking projections are provided in the width direction via a connecting portion, and that has a pair of locking holes formed in accordance with the distance between the pair of locking projections,
When the support plate is placed on the support portion so that the pair of locking protrusions are positioned on both sides of the support portion in the longitudinal direction, the retaining piece is inverted to the underside of the support plate at the connecting portion, and the locking hole is locked with the corresponding locking protrusion.

With this configuration, a pair of locking protrusions formed on the underside of the support plate are placed on either side of the support portion of the elongate body support device in the longitudinal direction, making it highly versatile and usable even with elongate body supports that do not have cutouts in their support portions. Then, by simply flipping the retaining piece over to the underside of the support plate and locking the locking holes into the corresponding locking protrusions, the auxiliary support member can be easily and stably attached to the support portion of the elongate body support device. This makes it possible to realize an auxiliary support member that is highly versatile and can be easily and stably attached to elongate body supports.

In one embodiment,
It is preferable that the support plate and the holding piece are connected in the width direction.

With this configuration, all that's required is to extend the connecting portion widthwise from the end of the support plate on the side where the locking protrusion is located, and then attach a retaining piece to the end of that. This makes it possible to create a versatile auxiliary support member with a simple structure that can be easily attached to an elongated body support fixture.

In one embodiment,
The support plate has a plate body and an extension portion extending from the plate body in the width direction,
It is preferable that the extension portion and the holding piece are connected in the longitudinal direction.

With this configuration, the retaining piece can be easily engaged with the retaining protrusion on the plate body by swinging the retaining piece within an imaginary plane that encompasses the extension direction of the retaining piece (the longitudinal direction of the elongated body). This further simplifies the installation procedure for the elongated body support.

Another supporting member according to the present invention comprises:
An auxiliary support member interposed between a support portion of a support device for a long body that supports a long body by suspending the long body and the long body,
a support plate extending along the longitudinal direction of the elongated body;
a first holding piece provided on a lower surface side of the support plate in a cantilevered state facing one side in the longitudinal direction;
a second holding piece provided on the lower surface side of the support plate in a cantilever state with a length longer than that of the first holding piece and directed toward the other side in the longitudinal direction;
Equipped with.

With this configuration, the support portion of the elongate body support can be fitted into the space between the first and second holding pieces and the support plate by sliding back and forth along the longitudinal direction, allowing the auxiliary support member to be easily and stably attached to the support portion of the elongate body support. Based solely on the structure of the support plate, the support member can be attached to the support portion of the elongate body support simply by sliding the support plate back and forth, making it highly versatile and usable even for elongate body supports that do not have cutouts in the support portion. This makes it possible to realize an auxiliary support member that is highly versatile and can be easily and stably attached to a elongate body support.

In one embodiment,
It is preferable that the height of the root portion of the second holding piece rising from the support plate be greater than the height of the root portion of the first holding piece rising from the support plate.

With this configuration, the second retaining piece is longer than the first retaining piece, making it easier for the second retaining piece to flex and deform, facilitating the attachment of the auxiliary support member to the support portion of the elongated body support. Conversely, the first retaining piece is less likely to flex and deform, making it possible to properly maintain the attachment state after attachment to the support portion of the elongated body support.

In one embodiment,
It is preferable that a hooking claw be provided at the tip of the first holding piece so as to protrude toward the support plate and be capable of being engaged with a side edge of the support part.

With this configuration, the hook provided at the tip of the first holding piece engages with the side edge of the support part, preventing the elongate body support device from slipping out of the support part. Furthermore, since the base end of the first holding piece and the hook can be used to engage with the support part from both longitudinal sides, the auxiliary support member can be easily and appropriately positioned longitudinally relative to the support part.

The elongated body support unit according to the present invention comprises:
a long body support tool that supports the long body by suspending it;
and any one of the auxiliary support members described above.

With this configuration, when a long body is suspended and supported using a long body support device, the auxiliary support member can be easily and stably attached to the long body support device. Furthermore, by interposing the auxiliary support member between the long body support device and the long body, the long body can be supported in a distributed manner over a wide support area, and the long body can be supported in a stable position. Furthermore, for example, if the long body includes insulation covering piping, a decrease in insulation performance due to the insulation material collapsing can be suppressed.

Further features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of exemplary, non-limiting embodiments, which proceeds with reference to the drawings.

First Embodiment
A first embodiment of an auxiliary support member and a long body support unit will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a long body support unit 100 of this embodiment is a unit for suspending and supporting a long body 8, and includes a long body support device 6 that suspends and supports the long body 8, and an auxiliary support member 1 used together with the long body support device 6. The auxiliary support member 1 is used by being interposed between the long body 8 and a support portion 61 of the long body support device 6 for the long body 8.

The elongated body support 6 is attached to a suspension bolt 90 hanging from the ceiling, and supports the elongated body 8 in a horizontal position. The suspension bolts 90 are arranged along the installation direction of the elongated body 8. Multiple suspension bolts 90 are installed at multiple locations along the installation direction of the elongated body 8, spaced at predetermined intervals, and the elongated body support 6 attached to each suspension bolt 90 supports the elongated body 8 in a suspended state across the entire installation direction.

The elongated body 8 has a long structure that extends in one direction, such as a linear body, tubular body, or strip-shaped body. Examples of such elongated body 8 include piping and electrical wires. In this embodiment, the elongated body 8 is, for example, piping for an air conditioning system, and includes a metal piping member 81 that forms a refrigerant path and a covering member 82 (a heat-insulating or insulating material made of urethane foam, glass wool, or the like) that covers the periphery of the piping member 81.

The elongated body support 6 comprises a support portion 61 that supports the elongated body 8, an attachment portion 63 for attachment to the suspension bolt 90, and a lid portion 65 that covers the upper opening of the support portion 61. The support portion 61, attachment portion 63, and lid portion 65 are each made of a metal plate-shaped member.

The support portion 61 is formed in a roughly U-shape. The support portion 61 supports the elongated body 8 from below with its arc-shaped bottom. The mounting portion 63 is integrated with the support portion 61 using a fastening means such as a rivet. The mounting portion 63 includes a pair of hook portions that engage with the suspension bolt 90 at different axial positions. Each hook portion engages with the threads on the outer surface of the suspension bolt 90, thereby attaching the entire elongated body support device 6 to the suspension bolt 90. The lid portion 65 is connected to the support portion 61 so as to be able to open and close freely. The lid portion 65 can accommodate the elongated body 8 in the support portion 61 with the top opening of the support portion 61 left open (open position). After the elongated body 8 is accommodated in the support portion 61, the lid portion 65 assumes a position in which the top opening of the support portion 61 is closed (closed position), preventing the elongated body 8 from slipping out.

The auxiliary support member 1 is attached to the support portion 61 of the elongate body support 6 when in use. The auxiliary support member 1 is configured with a support length in the longitudinal direction L of the elongate body 8 that is longer than the support width of the support portion 61 of the elongate body support 6. The auxiliary support member 1 is arranged along the longitudinal direction L of the elongate body 8, extending on both sides of the longitudinal direction L relative to the support portion 61. By distributing support for the elongate body 8 over a wide support area, the elongate body 8 can be supported in a stable position and performance degradation due to crushing of the covering member 82 can be suppressed.

As shown in Figure 3, the auxiliary support member 1 comprises a support plate 10 and a holding piece 20. These are integrally formed using an elastic synthetic resin such as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, or urethane.

The support plate 10 is a plate-shaped member that constitutes the main part of the auxiliary support member 1, and extends along the longitudinal direction L of the elongated body 8 when attached to the support portion 61 of the elongated body support 6. Because the support plate 10 is attached so that its longitudinal direction is aligned with the longitudinal direction L of the elongated body 8, in the following description, the longitudinal direction of the support plate 10 will also be referred to as the "longitudinal direction L." Furthermore, the short side direction of the support plate 10, which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L, will be referred to as the "width direction W."

The support plate 10 is mainly composed of a plate body 11. The plate body 11 is rectangular in plan view (when viewed from above). In this example, the plate body 11 is rectangular in plan view with rounded corners. One surface of the plate body 11, the top surface 11a, serves as the support surface on which the elongated body 8 is placed when attached to the elongated body support fixture 6. The other surface of the plate body 11, the bottom surface 11b, serves as the supported surface that is received and supported by the support portion 61 when attached to the elongated body support fixture 6.

The support plate 10 has a pair of locking protrusions 12 formed on the underside 11b. The locking protrusions 12 are provided on the underside 11b of the plate body 11. The locking protrusions 12 are provided on at least one side in the width direction W, and in this embodiment, they are provided on both sides in the width direction W. The locking protrusions 12 are provided at a position slightly biased inward from the side edge of the plate body 11.

The locking projections 12 each have a columnar projection body 12A and a hook-shaped locking claw 12B attached to the tip of the projection body 12A. The pair of locking projections 12 are oriented so that the locking claws 12B face opposite each other. The pair of locking projections 12 are spaced a predetermined distance apart in the longitudinal direction L. The distance between the pair of locking projections 12 in the longitudinal direction L is set slightly longer than the support width of the support portion 61 of the elongate body support 6. Therefore, the auxiliary support member 1 (support plate 10) can be placed on the support portion 61 of the elongate body support 6 so that the pair of locking projections 12 are positioned on both sides of the support portion 61 in the longitudinal direction L. In this state, the auxiliary support member 1 can be positioned in the longitudinal direction L relative to the support portion 61 of the elongate body support 6.

The retaining piece 20 is connected to the support plate 10 via a connecting portion 25 so that it can swing freely. The connecting portion 25 is formed thinner than the support plate 10 and the retaining piece 20, and flexes and deforms with the connection portion with the support plate 10 as the base end, allowing the retaining piece 20 connected to its tip side to swing freely. The retaining piece 20 is connected to the side of the support plate 10 in the width direction W where the locking protrusion 12 is provided. In this embodiment, since the locking protrusions 12 are provided on both sides in the width direction W, the retaining pieces 20 are also provided on both sides in the width direction W.

In this embodiment, the support plate 10 and the holding piece 20 are connected in the width direction W. A connecting portion 25 extends from the side edge of the long side of the plate body 11, which is rectangular in plan view, along the width direction W, and is connected to the holding piece 20 at its tip. The holding piece 20 extends in the longitudinal direction L from the tip of the connecting portion 25. The connecting portion 25 and the holding piece 20 are connected so that they are perpendicular to each other, forming an L-shape overall. In this embodiment, the holding piece 20 is free to swing via the connecting portion 25 while maintaining its orientation along the longitudinal direction L.

The retaining piece 20 has a pair of locking holes 21 formed at a predetermined distance in the longitudinal direction L. The distance between the pair of locking holes 21 in the longitudinal direction L is set equal to the distance between the pair of locking protrusions 12. Therefore, with the support plate 10 placed on the support part 61 so that the pair of locking protrusions 12 are positioned on either side of the support part 61 in the longitudinal direction L, the retaining piece 20 can be inverted toward the underside 11b of the support plate 10 via the connecting part 25, as shown in Figure 4, to lock each locking hole 21 with the corresponding locking protrusion 12.

A hook-shaped locking claw 12B is provided at the tip of the locking protrusion 12. The protrusion body 12A of the locking protrusion 12 is inserted into the locking hole 21, and the locking claw 12B engages with the surface of the holding piece 20 from the opposite side, preventing it from coming loose. In this state, the support plate 10 and the holding piece 20 sandwich the support portion 61 of the elongate body support 6 between them. This makes it difficult for misalignment in the width direction W to occur due to the sliding resistance acting between the elongate body support 6 and the auxiliary support member 1. In this embodiment, this is achieved at different circumferential positions (on both sides of the width direction W on the support plate 10), thereby increasing the sliding resistance and further reducing the likelihood of misalignment in the width direction W.

Second Embodiment
A second embodiment of the auxiliary support member and elongate body support unit will be described with reference to the drawings. The auxiliary support member 1 of this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the specific shape of the support plate 10 and the manner in which the support plate 10 is connected to the holding piece 20. Below, the auxiliary support member 1 and elongate body support unit 100 of this embodiment will be described, focusing mainly on the differences from the first embodiment. Note that points that are not specifically mentioned are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the same reference numerals will be used, and detailed description will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 5, the support plate 10 of this embodiment has a plate body 11 and an extension portion 14 extending from the plate body 11 in the width direction W. In this embodiment, a pair of extension portions 14 extend from the plate body 11 on both sides in the width direction W. The extension portions 14 are provided in the center of the plate body 11 in the longitudinal direction L. The extension portion 14 is formed in a flat U-shape and has a pair of first extension portions 14A extending in the width direction W and a second extension portion 14B extending in the longitudinal direction L and connecting the pair of first extension portions 14A. A pair of locking protrusions 12 are formed on the second extension portion 14B that constitutes the extension portion 14.

In this embodiment, the support plate 10 (specifically, the extension portion 14) and the retaining piece 20 are connected in the longitudinal direction L. A connecting portion 25 extends along the longitudinal direction L from the connecting corner between the first extension portion 14A and the second extension portion 14B of the extension portion 14, and is connected to the retaining piece 20 at its tip. The retaining piece 20 extends along the longitudinal direction L, parallel to the second extension portion 14B. In this embodiment, the retaining piece 20 is free to swing within an imaginary plane that includes the retaining piece 20 and the connecting portion 25.

In this embodiment, the support plate 10 is placed on the support part 61 so that the pair of locking projections 12 are positioned on either side of the support part 61 in the longitudinal direction L. Then, the retaining piece 20 can be inverted toward the underside 11b of the support plate 10 via the connecting part 25 to lock each locking hole 21 into the corresponding locking projection 12. In this state, the support plate 10 and the retaining piece 20 sandwich the support part 61 of the elongate body support 6 between them, and the sliding resistance acting between the elongate body support 6 and the auxiliary support member 1 makes it less likely for misalignment to occur in the width direction W.

Third Embodiment
A third embodiment of the auxiliary support member and long body support unit will be described with reference to the drawings. The auxiliary support member 1 of this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that it does not have a pair of locking protrusions 12 and holding pieces 20, but instead has a first holding piece 30 and a second holding piece 40. Below, the auxiliary support member 1 and long body support unit 100 of this embodiment will be described, focusing mainly on the differences from the first embodiment. Note that points that are not specifically mentioned are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the same reference numerals will be used, and detailed description will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 6, the auxiliary support member 1 of this embodiment comprises a support plate 10, a first retaining piece 30, and a second retaining piece 40. These are integrally formed using an elastic synthetic resin such as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, or urethane. The first retaining piece 30 and the second retaining piece 40 are both provided on the underside 11b of the plate body 11 that constitutes the support plate 10.

The first retaining piece 30 is provided in the center of the support plate 10 (the center in the longitudinal direction L and width direction W). Only one first retaining piece 30 is provided. The first retaining piece 30 is provided in a cantilevered state facing one side in the longitudinal direction L (the lower left side in Figure 6). The first retaining piece 30 has a base 31 and a retaining piece portion 32. The base 31 is formed integrally with the support plate 10 so as to rise from the support plate 10 toward the underside 11b. The retaining piece portion 32 is formed integrally with the base 31 and extends to one side in the longitudinal direction L. The first retaining piece 30 is configured as a resilient arm with the base 31 as its root portion and the tip of the retaining piece portion 32 opposite the base 31 as its open end.

The tip of the first holding piece 30 (the tip of the holding piece portion 32) is provided with a hooking claw 33 that protrudes toward the support plate 10. The hooking claw 33 can be engaged with the side edge of the support portion 61 when the auxiliary support member 1 is attached to the support portion 61 of the elongate body support 6 (see the lower part of Figure 7). In this embodiment, the distance in the longitudinal direction L between the base 31 of the first holding piece 30 and the hooking claw 33 is set to be slightly longer than the support width of the support portion 61 of the elongate body support 6. Therefore, the base 31 of the first holding piece 30 and the hooking claw 33 can be engaged with the side edges of the support portion 61 from both sides in the longitudinal direction L, allowing the auxiliary support member 1 to be positioned in the longitudinal direction L relative to the support portion 61 of the elongate body support 6.

The second retaining pieces 40 are provided at the ends of the support plate 10 in the width direction W. In this embodiment, two second retaining pieces 40 are provided, and this pair of second retaining pieces 40 is provided separately at both ends of the support plate 10 in the width direction W. The pair of second retaining pieces 40 are provided in a cantilevered state facing the other side in the longitudinal direction L (the upper right side in Figure 6). The length of the second retaining pieces 40 along the longitudinal direction L is set to be longer than the length of the first retaining piece 30. The arrangement area of the second retaining pieces 40 in the longitudinal direction L includes the arrangement area of the first retaining piece 30 in the longitudinal direction L.

The second retaining piece 40 has a base 41 and a retaining piece portion 42. The base 41 is formed integrally with the support plate 10 so as to rise from the support plate 10 toward the underside 11b. The base 41 of the second retaining piece 40 is located at a distance from the tip of the first retaining piece 30 (the tip of the hook 33) that is equal to or greater than the support width of the support portion 61 of the elongate body support device 6. The retaining piece portion 42 is formed integrally with the base 41 and extends in the direction opposite the side toward which the first retaining piece 30 faces. The second retaining piece 40 is configured as an elastic arm with the base 41 as its root portion and the tip of the retaining piece portion 42 opposite the base 41 as its open end.

The vertical height of the base 41 of the second retaining piece 40 (the height at which the root portion of the second retaining piece 40 rises from the support plate 10) is set higher than the vertical height of the base 31 of the first retaining piece 30 (the height at which the root portion of the first retaining piece 30 rises from the support plate 10). As a result, the second retaining piece 40 is formed to rise higher and extend longer than the first retaining piece 30. Conversely, the first retaining piece 30 is formed to rise lower and extend shorter than the second retaining piece 40.

The tip of the second holding piece 40 (the tip of the holding piece portion 42) is provided with an insertion guide portion 43 that slopes away from the support plate 10 as it approaches the tip. The insertion guide portion 43 serves to smoothly fit the support portion 61 of the elongate body support device 6 into the space between the support plate 10 and the second holding piece 40 when attaching the auxiliary support member 1 to the elongate body support device 6.

The auxiliary support member 1 of this embodiment can be attached to the elongate body support device 6 as follows. First, as shown in the upper part of Figure 7, the auxiliary support member 1 is set relative to the support portion 61 of the elongate body support device 6 so that the insertion guide portion 43, which is the open end of the second holding piece 40, faces the support portion 61 and the support plate 10 passes above the support portion 61.

7, the auxiliary support member 1 is inserted into the support portion 61 of the elongate body support device 6 along the longitudinal direction L (to the right in the figure). The auxiliary support member 1 is inserted by sliding it in the longitudinal direction L, starting with the insertion guide portion 43 of the second holding piece 40 at the front. Because the insertion guide portion 43 is inclined so that it moves away from the support plate 10 toward the tip, the support portion 61 can be smoothly inserted into the space between the support plate 10 and the second holding piece 40 as it slides. Furthermore, the second holding piece 40, which stands relatively high and extends long, is easily bent and deformed, making the insertion operation easy. The auxiliary support member 1 is slid until the support portion 61 clears the first holding piece 30 and the base portion 41 of the second holding piece 40 abuts the support portion 61 in the longitudinal direction L.

Next, as shown in the middle to bottom of Figure 7, the auxiliary support member 1 is slid in the opposite direction (to the left in the figure) relative to the support portion 61 of the elongate body support device 6. This reverse sliding movement causes the support portion 61 to be stored in the space between the support plate 10 and the first holding piece 30. At this time, the surface of the hooking claw 33 at the tip of the first holding piece 30 facing the support plate 10 is inclined so that it moves away from the support plate 10 toward the tip, allowing the support portion 61 to be smoothly stored in the space between the support plate 10 and the first holding piece 30. The auxiliary support member 1 is slid until the base 31 of the first holding piece 30 abuts the support portion 61 in the longitudinal direction L.

When the base 31 of the first retaining piece 30 abuts against the support portion 61, the hook claw 33 also abuts against the support portion 61 on the opposite side of the longitudinal direction L. This allows the base 31 of the first retaining piece 30 and the hook claw 33 to engage with the side edges of the support portion 61 from both sides of the longitudinal direction L, allowing the auxiliary support member 1 to be properly positioned in the longitudinal direction L relative to the elongated body support device 6. Furthermore, the first retaining piece 30 clamps the support portion 61 between itself and the plate body 11. Because the first retaining piece 30, which stands relatively low and extends short, is less likely to bend or deform, the support portion 61 can be firmly clamped between the first retaining piece 30 and the plate body 11. This allows the elongated body support device 6 to be properly attached to the support portion 61. Furthermore, sliding resistance is less likely to cause misalignment in the width direction W, allowing the auxiliary support member 1 to be properly positioned in the width direction W relative to the elongated body support device 6.
