Hereinafter, the present invention configured as described above is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG.1is a perspective view illustrating the configuration of a pipe clamp according to the present invention,FIGS.2A and2Bare exploded perspective views illustrating the configuration of the pipe clamp according to the present invention, andFIG.3is a flat sectional view illustrating a process in which the pipe clamp according to the present invention is installed on a pipe.

First, the pipe clamp according to the present invention rigidly fixes a clamp having a specific structure to a point having a certain height of a pipe100installed across a ceiling and floor of a certain building, so that various members including shelves, nets, holders, hangers, etc., can be firmly installed on the pipe100.

For this, the pipe clamp according to the present invention includes a body10having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape; a cap60selectively fastened to one side of the body10; a shaft30embedded between the body10and the cap60; an adapter20selectively separated from the body10; a shaft support member40for installing the shaft30; a pair of adhesion members50in close contact with the outer circumferential surface of the pipe100; and the like.

The body10is configured to have a body part of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape in a state in which the adapter20is integrally combined. On the rear surface of the body10, a close contact groove12having a semicircular plane in accordance with the shape of the outer circumferential surface of the pipe100applied to the body10is concavely formed along a vertical direction. The rear surface of the body part corresponding to opposite sides of the concave groove has a substantially “(” shape and “)” shape, respectively, and a pair of threaded coupling parts14respectively protrude from outer circumferential surfaces of the body part.

A body part of the body10and the adapter20form a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape in a mutually coupled state. For this, the body part of the body10consists of upper, lower and back plates, and the adapter20consists of front and side plates.

To connect the body10and the adapter20to each other, an interlocking jaw24of a predetermined depth is formed horizontally in a straight line shape on the upper and lower front surfaces of the adapter20, and adapter coupling protrusions16having a structure corresponding to each other are protruded from a ceiling of an upper plate of the body10and a bottom of a lower plate thereof. In addition, to provide elastic force when each of the adapter coupling protrusions16acts, elastic holes18are formed in a straight line shape to perforate a back plate adjacent to the adapter coupling protrusions16.

Various types of coupling means22may be formed on the front of the adapter20, and various members including a predetermined net, shelf, holder, hanger, etc. may be coupled according to the shape of the coupling means22and may be mounted via the pipe100.

In addition, a seating groove19is concavely formed in a substantially circular shape in the center of the close contact groove12of the body10, so that the adhesion members50are seated on and coupled to the seating groove19.

The adhesion members50may be made of a rubber material having a substantial disk shape, and may be rigidly fixed to the outer circumferential surface of the pipe100by using the frictional force of the material in a state of being fixed to the seating groove19of the body10.

An insertion protrusion52is protruded from the center of one side of the adhesion members50, and a hole19ais formed by boring the seating groove19to correspond to the insertion protrusion52, so that the adhesion members50may be rigidly fixed within the seating groove19of the body10.

The cap60is formed of a substantially cylindrical shape with an open front surface, and is configured to be fastened to the pair of coupling parts14provided in the body10via a thread formed on an inner circumferential surface thereof. Here, a through hole62is formed by boring the center of the cap60, the shaft support member40is installed to penetrate the through hole62, and a rotational groove64is concavely formed to a predetermined depth along the edge of the through hole62on the rear surface of the cap60.

In addition, a position-limiting protrusion66protrudes to a predetermined height while forming a substantially circular shape along the edge of the through hole62on the front of the cap60.

Reference68represents anti-slip grooves concavely formed at regular intervals on the outer circumferential surface of the cap60to prevent slipping when gripping the cap60.

The shaft support member40is installed to penetrate the through hole62of the cap60to perform a bearing function and is formed of a substantially cylindrical body, and a substantially disc-shaped holding plate42is integrally formed at the rear of the shaft support member40to be interrupted and supported by the rotation groove64of the cap60.

In addition, a pair of coupling holes44are formed to perforate the cylindrical body constituting the shaft support member40so that a pair of coupling protrusions36provided in a fixation shaft34of the shaft30are inserted and interrupted.

The shaft30is provided with a contact plate32whose one surface is concavely formed to form an arc shape, and the substantially cylindrical fixation shaft34rotatably mounted inside the cap60is integrally formed on the rear surface of the contact plate32.

The pair of coupling protrusions36protrude from the end of the fixation shaft34of the shaft30to be interrupted by being inserted into the coupling holes44of the shaft support member40, and a pair of elastic grooves37are formed between the pair of coupling protrusions36to provide elastic force to the coupling protrusions36.

A pair of position-limiting jaws38protrude to a certain height on both sides of the fixation shaft34of the shaft30, so that when the cap60and the shaft30are combined, ends of the position-limiting jaws38are configured to stably support each other when the cap60rotates while abutting against the position-limiting protrusions66of the cap60.

In addition, a seating groove39is concavely formed in a substantially circular shape at the center of the concave part of the contact plate32constituting the shaft30so that the adhesion members50are fixedly installed and frictional force is provided in close contact with the pipe100.

Next, an operation of the present invention constituted as described above is described in detail below.

The pipe clamp according to the present invention is fixedly mounted at a point having a certain height of the pipe100installed vertically between the ceiling and the floor of a certain building, so that various types of members can be installed.

For this, the adapter20equipped with the predetermined coupling means22is mounted on the body10via the coupling protrusions16and interlocking jaw24corresponding to each other to form an integral structure.

In addition, In addition, the coupling protrusions36of the fixation shaft34of the shaft30are coupled to the coupling holes44of the shaft support member40in a state in which the shaft support member40is passed through the through hole62of the cap60, so that the shaft30is mounted and provided in a rotatable state inside the cap60.

Here, when the shaft support member40and the shaft30are coupled to each other, the coupling protrusions36of the fixation shaft34of the shaft30are rigidly coupled in a press-fitting manner to the coupling holes44of the shaft support member40through the elastic action of the elastic grooves37provided on the fixation shaft34of the shaft30.

In addition, when the pipe clamp is installed on a pipe having a certain diameter, the close contact groove12of the body10integrally equipped with the adapter20is positioned to correspond to a point having a certain height of the pipe100, and in a state where the contact plate32of the shaft30mounted on the cap60is in close contact with a point having the same height as the pipe100, the cap60is rotated in a tightening direction so that the thread on the inner circumferential surface of the cap60is fastened to the outer circumferential surface of the coupling parts14of the body (seeFIG.3).

As the body10and the cap60are fastened together, the shaft30moves forward by a certain distance so that the respective adhesion members50pressurize the outer circumferential surface of the pipe100while the gap between the body10and the seating grooves19and39of the shaft30is narrowed, whereby the clamp can be rigidly fixed to a point with a certain height of the pipe100.

Accordingly, after a certain member is rigidly installed at a certain point of the pipe100using the coupling means22of the adapter20provided in the clamp, it can be conveniently used according to the purpose.

Here, as the clamp has a structure in which the pair of adhesion members50provided on the body10and the shaft30pressurize the outer circumferential surface of the pipe100, the clamp may be installed regardless of the diameter of the pipe100, may maintain a very firm fixation state through the frictional force of the pair of adhesion members50, and may prevent any damage such as scratches when pressurizing the pipe100.

That is, after coupling the clamps to a pair of the pipes100, respectively, a net200may be installed via the coupling means22of a specific structure, or various members such as a shelf, a holder, and a hanger may be installed on the pipe100by applying the adapter20having various other coupling means to the body10, as shown inFIG.4.

In addition, when disassembling the clamp, the cap60is simply separated from the body10and the clamp is removed from the pipe100as the cap60is rotated in a dismantling direction.

Various modifications may be made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the invention belongs without departing from the gist of the present disclosure claimed in the claims, and these modifications should not be understood individually from the technical spirit or perspective of the present disclosure.
