(Prior Art) There are various types of holders for clamping linear objects, rod-shaped objects, or pipes and attaching them to panels and the like. The holder shown in FIG. 7 is a typical one, and has a pair of legs 3 extending straight in parallel to each other in the radial direction from each open ring end of the ring-shaped holder 1. Furthermore, an anchor part 4 is provided which is folded back outward at a predetermined angle from the free end of this leg part 3, and a flange 2 is provided which extends in opposite directions from the holding part 1 near the ring-opening end. The leg portion 3,
Hold the holding part 1 or the flange 2 with the fingertips of both hands, make the holding part 1 into an expanded shape so that the legs 3 and 3 are separated from each other, and push a cable, pipe, or rod-shaped object into this holding part 1 to support it. let By inserting the leg part 3 of the holder supporting the cable, pipe, or rod-shaped object into the mounting hole provided in the panel, etc., the hole edge of the hole in the panel etc. is aligned with the flange 2 and the anchor part 4. The holder is mounted with the cable etc. supported by the holder.

(Utility Model Publication No. 53-10560) Furthermore, the invention of Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-189719 also discloses a clamp similar to such a holder. In the clamp proposed in Utility Model Application Publication No. 189719/1989, the flange in the holder is not provided on the holding part but directly on the anchor part, and its handling operation is the same as that of the conventional example. It is similar to

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In such conventional examples, cables, pipes, rod-like objects, etc. are supported elastically, and there is a risk that the supported cables, pipes, rod-like objects, etc. may be damaged at the supporting part. Moreover, the workability is particularly good because attachment to a panel or the like can be accomplished by simply inserting the legs on the holder.

However, since the open ring-shaped holding part that constitutes the holding tool is made of resin and has sufficient elasticity, it is difficult to open this holding part and load a cable, pipe, or rod-shaped object into the holding part. It was complicated and hot.

That is, in order to insert a cable, pipe, rod-shaped object, etc. into this conventional holder, the holder is held with the fingers of both hands, and the legs of the holder are spread laterally with the fingers of both hands. In this state,
It is necessary to push the cable etc. into this holder, which is difficult and requires a lot of work.

This tendency is exacerbated as the holder becomes smaller, and is especially true when a large number of thin wires are placed in a small holder and used in a complex and narrow space, such as in a car, for each purpose. The above-mentioned inconvenience is particularly noticeable in cases where it is necessary to accurately mount the device.

The purpose of the holder according to the present invention is to provide a holder that can be easily expanded with one hand and eliminates the handling problems of conventional holders.

(Means for Solving the Problems) As a means for achieving the above-mentioned object, the holder according to the present invention is made of an elastic synthetic resin as a whole, and is integrally molded. The holder includes a holding part 5 which is curved into a cylindrical shape and has an open ring shape, and a holding part 5 which is protruded outward in a substantially radial direction from each open end edge of the holding part 5 so as to face each other. the engaging pieces 7, 7 provided in a folded manner at a predetermined angle from the free end side of the leg pieces 6, 6 to the outer side of each leg piece 6, 6; The engaging piece 7 is provided to protrude outward from the base side of the leg pieces 6, 6 so as to be substantially orthogonal to the leg pieces 6, 6.
Holding pieces 8, 8, which form a pair with the engaging piece 7 and hold the mounting plate, etc., are placed at a predetermined interval on the outer circumferential surface of the holding portion 5, and extend outward from the circumferential surface. It is composed of a pair of tabs 9, 9 that protrude toward the ring and open an opening 10 between the opening edges of the holding part 5, and the presser piece 8 and the engaging piece 7. It is used by holding a panel etc. in between.

(Function) The holder according to the present invention is capable of pinching the tabs 9, 9 from both sides using the fingers of one hand due to the above-mentioned configuration. As a result of the pinching, the leg pieces 6, 6 are opened in the pulling direction, and the opening 1 between the open ring edges of the holding part 5 is opened.
A large insertion space is formed at 0.

Then, by weakening the pressing force of the fingers on the tabs 9, 9, the insertion space in the opening between the open edges of the holding part 5 is closed by the elastic force of the holding part 5.

In this way, the insertion space for cables etc. is closed,
With the leg pieces 6, 6 substantially parallel, the leg pieces 6, 6
By inserting the engaging piece 7 into a hole in a panel or the like, the engaging piece 7 is bent toward the leg piece 6 side. When the free end side of this engaging piece 7 passes through the hole, this engaging piece 7 springs outward again, and there is a gap between the free end of this engaging piece 7 and the presser piece 8. The edge of the hole is held between the holes.

(Example) Hereinafter, a typical example of the holder according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, the holder in the illustrated example has a holder 5 that supports the cable, etc. inserted, a leg piece 6 for attaching to a panel, etc., and an engagement member for supporting the edge of the mounting hole of the panel, etc. It is composed of a piece 7, a holding piece 8, and a knob 9 for opening the holding part 5 and inserting a cable or the like. Each of these constituent parts is made into an integral synthetic resin molded product by injection molding with the holding part 5 as the center.

The holding part 5 is in the shape of a cylindrically curved open ring having an opening 10 in the axial direction, and is configured to resiliently bias the opening 10 side in the closing direction.

Next, the leg pieces 6 are provided so as to protrude from the edge of the opening 10, which is the free edge of the holding part 5, so as to face each other toward the outer side in a substantially radial direction. This leg piece 6 is arranged between the leg pieces 6 and 6 in order to improve the flexing of the engagement piece 7 into the mounting hole H, which will be explained later, and the locking that occurs when the engagement piece 7 springs back. A certain gap is provided. Further, the width of the leg piece 6 on the side of the holding part 5 is approximately equal to the width of the holding part 5,
It is configured to be narrow and tapered toward the free end side,
It is designed to be easily inserted into the mounting hole.

Further, the engagement piece 7 is provided in a folded manner from the free end of the leg piece 6 to the outer side of the leg piece 6 at a predetermined angle, and an inclination equivalent to the predetermined angle is formed on the leg piece 6. It is elastically deformed towards. Also, this engagement piece 7
A tongue piece 7a is provided on the side of the leg piece 6 at the free end of the housing to protrude toward the presser piece 8, and an engaging stepped portion 7b of the engaging piece 7 is formed on the outer side of the tongue piece 7a. ing. By engaging the tongue piece 7a with the hole wall surface of the mounting hole H, the stepped portion 7b supports the hole edge of the mounting panel, etc., thereby eliminating the inconvenience of the engagement piece 7 flexing outward significantly. .

Furthermore, the holding piece 8 is provided to protrude outward from the base side of the leg pieces 6, 6 so as to be substantially perpendicular to the leg pieces 6, and the engaging piece 7 of this leg piece 6 The surface of the hole edge of the hole H of the panel P etc. is held between the step portion 7b and the step portion 7b. Furthermore, this presser piece 8
is configured such that its free end side is slightly curved 8a toward the engaging piece 7 side in order to support the panel P etc. more elastically and prevent the occurrence of wobbling at the attachment part of the holder. Moreover, the free edge is a swollen protruding edge 8b that bulges out toward the engaging piece 7 side.

Next, the pinch pieces 9, 9 are for expanding the leg pieces 6, 6, and are attached to the holding part 5 on the side opposite to the side where the leg pieces 6, 6 are provided with respect to the presser piece 8.
It is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the opening 1.
The installation interval is determined by the width of expansion required for zero and the size of the diameter of the circular arc that the holding part 5 is made of. Generally, the tabs 9, 9 are provided symmetrically with respect to the portion of the holding part 5 that is on the line where the leg piece 6 is provided, so that the pinching pieces 9, 9 can be more securely held by the fingertips. The free end of the knob 9 is formed into a rounded bulge edge 9a. Further, the outer circumferential surface of the holding portion 5 between the tabs 9, 9 is a chamfered surface 5a in a direction parallel to the axis to facilitate elastic deformation of the holding portion 5 by the tabs 9, 9.

Hold the holder constructed as above between the fingers of one hand as shown in FIG.
Press in the direction of the arrow.

By pressing the knob pieces 9, 9, the leg piece 6,
6 is widened and the holding part 5 is opened from the opening 10. Then, using the other free hand, insert a cable, pipe, or various rod-like objects into the holding part 5 through the opening 10 between the open ring edges, and release the pressing grip of this finger. . By releasing the pressing force of the fingers, the holding part 5 elastically returns to its original state, and the leg pieces 6, 6 approach each other, and the opening 10 no longer expands, and the cable etc. is taken into the holding part 5. . Next, as shown in FIG. 5, by pressing your fingertips between the pick piece 9 and the presser piece 8, the gap between the leg pieces 6, 6 disappears, and the leg pieces 6, 6 fit into the mounting hole H of the panel P, etc. It becomes easier to insert. In this state, by pushing the legs 6, 6 into the hole H, the engagement piece 7 is bent toward the leg 6, and the engagement piece 7 springs outward at the step 7b, causing the tongue piece 7a to bend. It engages the hole edge of the hole H, and the peripheral surface of the hole H of the panel P etc. is supported between it and the holding piece 8.

(Effects) Because the holder according to the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to open and close the holder with one hand. After arranging and sorting them, they can be incorporated into this holder.

Therefore, it is suitable for work in places with narrow and complex configurations, such as wiring and piping inside automobiles. In addition, the presence of the pick piece 9 and presser piece 8 allows the holder that incorporates cables, pipes, etc. to be picked while pressing the left and right sides with equal pressure, and the mounting holes can be removed in that state. Since it can be inserted into H, it can also be used in special situations such as those mentioned above.

Cables, etc. that are taken into the holder and fixed to the panel surface etc. in this way are not likely to be damaged by the support part of the holder because the holder has a cylindrical shape and there is play due to the gap. There is no.

Further, since the holder is elastically supported by the holding piece 8 and the engagement piece 7, the attached holder will not fall off or come loose.
