Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a holder that is attached to a moving body such as a carrier of a conveyor and that is used to convey an article while it is held.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In a conventional rod-shaped ceramic body production line, when a large number of powder molded products after press molding are suspended and conveyed to a carrier of a conveyor, the powder is attached to the hook by a few tens of mm pitch on the carrier. Since the ring-shaped part of the tape wrapped around the neck of the upper part of the molded product was hooked, it is difficult and time-consuming to hang a large number of adjacent powder molded products off the hook. However, winding and removing the tape from the powder molded product was troublesome and required an extremely troublesome work.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide an article holder capable of holding and releasing the article quickly and easily.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the article holder of the present invention has a hooking piece to be engaged with and disengaged from an article, which is fixed to the inside of a lower part of a rod-shaped body in which an inclining piece that inclines inward is connected to an upper part of a vertically oriented piece. The upper parts of the pair of oscillating bodies are rotatably attached to the supporting body so that the facing hooking pieces approach and separate from each other, and the rocking bodies are separated from each other in the opening direction. An elastic member for urging, and a restricting piece that restricts the vertically oriented piece portions to be substantially parallel when fitted to the both rod-shaped bodies so as to be vertically movable and engaged with the vertically oriented piece portions, are provided. And

In the article holder of the present invention, it is preferable to provide a stopper that regulates the amount of rotation of both swinging members in the opening direction.

[0006]

[Action]

 The article holder of this invention is used by attaching a support to a moving body such as a carrier of a conveyor. If the restriction piece is pushed up above the vertically oriented piece, the restriction piece engages with the inclined piece, and the rod-shaped body is biased by the elastic member and is in the open state, so that part or all of the article is hooked. If you insert it above the strip and push it down with your fingers, etc., the slide will slide down along the rod-shaped body, and rotate both swingers until both vertical strips are almost parallel. The two hooking pieces hold the article.

When releasing the holding of the article, the regulation piece is pushed vertically upward by a finger or the like, or by pushing the article upward and pushing the regulation piece upward through this article, the regulation piece is vertically moved. Since the engagement with the facing piece is released and reaches the inclined piece, the swinging member is driven in the opening direction by the elastic member, the hooking piece is disengaged from the article, and the holding of the article is released.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a rod-shaped body, and an inclined piece portion 3 which inclines upward and is inclined inward is continuously provided on the upper portion of the vertically oriented piece portion 2. A stopper piece 4 also serving as an elastic member mounting portion is continuously provided. Inside the lower portion of the rod-shaped body 1 (the same side as the side on which the inclined piece portion 3 is formed), a hooking piece 5 curved in a partially arcuate shape is fixed to form one rocking body 6.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a support body. Two rectangular plate piece-shaped mounting plates 12 are fixed to a lower portion of a support rod 11 attached to a carrier 7 of the conveyor in such a manner that the lower end portion of the support rod 11 is sandwiched. There is. The upper part of the pair of rocking bodies 6, 6 is rotatably attached to the support plate 12 in a state in which the hooking pieces 5 face each other by a pin 13 extending in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.

Reference numeral 15 denotes an elastic member, which is made of a rubber band in this embodiment, and is wound around the stopper pieces 4 and 4 so as to rotate both swinging bodies 6 and 6 in the opening direction indicated by the arrow R. Reference numeral 16 denotes an oblong annular restricting piece fitted over both rod-shaped bodies 1 and 1, and when fitted to the vertically oriented piece portions 2 and 2, both vertically oriented piece portions 2 and 2 are substantially parallel to each other. Thus, the inner dimension L is set (see FIG. 2).

In order to hold the long rod-shaped article 22 having the flange portion 21 at the upper end by the article holder 20 having the above-described configuration, first, as shown in FIG. 3, the regulating piece 16 is pushed upward. In other words, the oscillating bodies 6, 6 are rotated in the direction of arrow R by the elastic member 15, and the stopper pieces 4 are in an open state in which they are in contact with both side portions of the support rod 11. At this time, the restricting piece 16 is in a state where it can move freely along the tilting piece part 3, so that the elastic member 15 does not interfere with the rotation of the rocking body 6.

Therefore, when the article 22 is inserted from below and the collar portion 21 is positioned above the hooking pieces 5 and 5 as shown by the chain line 23, the regulating piece 16 is pulled down with fingers. The restriction piece 16 slides along the inclined piece portions 3 and 3 and rotates both swinging bodies 6 1 and 6 in the closing direction indicated by the arrow S against the biasing force of the elastic member 15, and the vertically oriented piece portion 1 As shown in FIG. 1, when reaching 2 and 2, the vertically oriented piece portions 2 and 2 are held substantially parallel to each other. Therefore, even if the fingers are released in this state, the regulating piece 16 does not slip upward and the article 22 Is lowered, the collar portion 21 engages with the hooking pieces 5 and 5, and the article 22 is held in a suspended state.

To release the holding of the article 22 after being conveyed by the carrier 7, the lower portion of the article 22 is grasped by hand and pushed upward, and the restriction piece 16 is pushed up by the top surface of the collar portion 21. When the regulating piece 16 moves from the vertically oriented piece portion 2 to the inclined piece portion 3, the regulating piece 16 slides along the inclined piece portion 3 and the oscillating bodies 6, 6 are moved in the arrow R direction by the urging force of the elastic member 15. Since it is rotationally driven to the open state shown in FIG. 3, the article 22 can be pulled out downward.

As described above, the one-touch operation of the restriction piece 16 enables the holding and releasing of the article 22 to be carried out quickly and easily, and winding or removal of the tape for hanging around the article as in the past. Does not need at all. Further, even when a large number of article holders 20 are attached to the carrier 7 at a small interval, the operation for holding and releasing the article 22 can be easily performed without any trouble.

Next, FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the same or corresponding parts as in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals. That is, in the article holder 24 of this embodiment, the short piece portion 8 which is substantially parallel when the rocking body 6 is opened is provided on the upper portion of the inclined piece portion 3 and is mounted between the short piece portions 8 and 8 as the elastic member 15. An oval ring having the same shape as the restriction piece 16 fitted to the short piece portions 8 and 8 is used as the stopper 9 that uses a compression spring to regulate the amount of rotation of both swinging bodies 6 and 6 in the opening direction. However, the operation at the time of holding and releasing the article is the same as that of the above-mentioned embodiment.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. For example, the elastic member 15 may be a twist spring mounted between the rod-shaped bodies 1 and 1, or the stopper piece 4 may be used. Instead of using the stopper 9 and the stopper 9, a position where the urging force of the elastic member and the rotational force due to the own weight of the oscillating body 6 are balanced by selecting the spring constant of the elastic member may be the open position of both oscillating bodies.

Further, the present invention provides a holding tool for holding the rod-shaped article 22 in a suspended state as in the above-described embodiment, or for holding a bottom of a spherical article supported by the hooking piece 5, for example. Is also applicable. The shape of the hooking piece 5 may be a desired shape suitable for the shape of the article to be held. Further, the present invention can be applied to an article holder used by being attached to a moving body other than a carrier, and the shape of the support body 10 may be another shape.
