[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional pipe supporting material, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59
There is a support material as disclosed in JP-A-11257. As shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, the pipe supporting member 100 includes an upper split member 101 and a lower split member 102 that cooperate with each other to support the outer peripheral surface of the pipe, and a connecting pin that fixes these two members. 103 are formed on the lower surface of the upper split member 101 and the upper surface of the lower split member 102 so as to face each other with fitting concave portions 104, 104 each having an enlarged diameter hole portion. To join the two members,
Also, a plurality of fitting recesses 105 having the same shape as the fitting recesses 104 are provided on the outer surfaces of the combined upper and lower split members 101 and 102, and the positions of the fitting recesses 105 at the ends of the respective outer surfaces are as follows.

14 is set to be a half of the distance between
As shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of sets of the above-mentioned connected pipe support members 100 can be connected vertically and horizontally by connecting pins 103.

[0003]

However, as shown in FIG. 14, the pipe supporting member 100 has a structure suitable for supporting the pipes 110 arranged in parallel, as shown in FIG. As described above, in the case of supporting a pipe that crosses three-dimensionally, the two pipes 110A and 110B cannot be directly supported at the intersection 111 where the upper pipe 110A and the lower pipe 110B that cross three-dimensionally cross each other. In order to support the upper pipe 110A, not only must both sides of both pipes 110A and 110B be separately supported at the respective locations appropriately separated from the intersection 111 to support the upper pipe 110A. I had to stack two hundred. Therefore, a plurality of pipe supports are required, and two pipe supports must be attached to each pipe. Therefore, not only the number of work steps is large but also time is required for installation, but the cost is high.

[0004] Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the pipe supporting member 100 is provided with an outer surface of an upper split member 101 and a lower split member 10.
2 is configured to support the tubes in the up-down direction by abutting the outer surfaces of the tubes 2 on each other. Could not be flexible.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides not only a support for a parallel pipe but also a pipe supporting material capable of supporting a pipe which is three-dimensionally intersecting at an intersection between the pipes and a three-dimensional pipe. There is provided a pipe supporting member capable of adjusting a distance between tube supporting portions of a tube supporting member in accordance with a distance between intersecting tubes.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a tube support for supporting a plurality of tubes,
An upper support member having a tube support portion for supporting at least a lower surface portion of the upper tube and a lower support member having a tube support portion for supporting at least an upper surface portion of the lower tube are rotatably engaged. Provided is a tube support having a configuration.

By using the tube supporting member having such a configuration, the direction in which the upper supporting member supports the tube and the direction in which the lower supporting member supports the tube can be changed. The tubes can be supported at the intersection of the tubes.

The present invention also provides a tube support having a configuration in which a spacer is interposed between an upper support member and a lower support member, and upper and lower support members are rotatably engaged via the spacer. It can also be a material.

If the spacer is interposed between the upper support member and the lower support member of the pipe supporting member as described above, the distance between the upper and lower support members can be changed. It can be a tube support.
