Then, one end of the holding tool main body 14 formed by connecting a plurality of the connectors 5, torsion coil springs 9, and connectors 5 is tightly fitted into the fitting recess 10 provided in the case 12, and The other end of the holding tool main body 14 is fixed to the fixing part 11 provided in the case 12 by means such as screwing, and the holding tool main body 14 is housed in the case 12.

Therefore, when holding the mark tube 15, the torsion coil spring 9 is biased so that the legs 7 and the curls 8 of the torsion coil spring 9 extend over the top surface of the bottom plate 13. The mark tube 15 can be detachably inserted between the upper surface and both curled portions 8 of the torsion coil spring 9.

The torsion coil spring 9 presses down the mark tube 15 with an appropriate spring force, so even if the holding tool main body 14 is moved, the mark tube 15
There is no need to worry about it moving or coming off.

Further, when holding the mark tube 15, the mark tube 15 is rotated by hand in order to make it easier to see the characters written on the surface of the mark tube 15.

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following remarkable effects compared to the conventional example described at the beginning.

That is, the present invention provides a connector that is made of metal or plastic and has a concave portion, a convex portion, and a body, and a connector that is made of metal or plastic and has a ring portion formed on the upper portion and is connected to the ring portion. A torsion coil spring which is arranged to form crossed legs and has curled parts at both ends of the legs, and a case which has a fitting recess formed on one inner wall surface and a fixing section formed on the other inner wall surface. and a bottom plate fixed to the case, a ring portion of the torsion coil spring is inserted into a convex portion provided on the connector, and a convex portion of the connector through which the ring portion of the torsion coil spring is inserted; Fitting the recesses provided in another connector, repeating this step one after another to form a holding tool main body for connecting multiple pieces, one end of the holding tool main body is tightly fitted into the fitting recess provided in the case, and , the other end of the holding tool main body is fixed to a fixing part provided on the case, and both legs and both curled parts of the torsion coil spring of the holding tool main body are installed on the upper surface of the bottom plate,
This can be used as a holding tool for a mark tube or the like, which is characterized in that the mark tube or the like is removably inserted between the upper surface of the bottom plate and the curled portions of the torsion coil spring under the bias of the torsion coil spring.
This has the effect of reliably holding the mark tube and allowing it to be easily removed. In particular, since the torsion coil spring is inserted between the connectors, the vertical play of the torsion coil spring is reduced, making it possible to homogenize the force of the torsion coil spring and holding the mark tube. Not only can the effect be kept constant, but it is also advantageous for organizing multiple mark tubes or pieces of paper with characters written on them, etc., and can be used as many times as needed.

Further, the problem of staining or damaging the surface of the mark tube is eliminated.

Furthermore, by rotating the mark tube,
Characters written on the surface of a mark tube or the like can be set at a position where they can be easily seen. Moreover, since the connector and the torsion coil spring can be mass-produced at low cost, it is possible to provide a large volume of inexpensive mark tube holding tools.
