Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、天板やカウンター等の取付部に開口された取付孔に固定されて水栓本体等の物品が取り付けられる物品の取付具に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、天板やカウンター等の取付部に開口された取付孔に固定されて水栓本体等の物品が取り付けられる物品の取付具に種々のものが知られている。例えば、図６に示すように、この従来の取付具６０は、円筒部６２の内周面の対向する部位に２つのボルト用の挿通孔６４を設けた固定台座６６と、この挿通孔６４に取り付けられたボルト６８と、略Ｃ字状に形成され、その両端にボルト挿通孔７０が設けられた第２押さえ部材７２と、略Ｃ字状に形成され、その両端にボルトが螺合されるねじ孔が設けられるとともに第２押さえ部材７２の下側に両端が配設される第１押さえ部材７４と、固定台座６２に固着され第１押さえ部材７４の一端側に挿通されたガイド部材７６とが備えられたものである。
【０００３】
固定台座６６には取付孔２よりも大きく形成された鍔部６７が設けられている。第１押さえ部材７４は、一方のボルト６８が螺合され、ガイド部材７６が挿通されることにより、ボルト６８軸心回りに位置決めされており、第１押さえ部材７４の他方の側のねじ孔は、固定台座６６の挿通孔６４に対向した位置に位置決めされている。一方、第２押さえ部材７２は一方のボルト６８の軸心を中心に回動可能にボルト６８に取り付けられている。そして、第２押さえ部材７２を回動させて両押さえ部材７２，７４をすぼませた状態にすると、取付孔２に挿通可能な幅となる一方、両押さえ部材７２，７４を拡開してほぼ環状とした状態では、幅も取付孔２より大きくなる。
【０００４】
このような取付具６０を取付孔２に固定するには、あらかじめ一方のボルト６８のみが、第２押さえ部材７２に挿通され、第１押さえ部材７４に螺合された状態で、両押さえ部材７２，７４をすぼませた状態にして取付孔２裏側に挿通し、固定台座６６を取付部１に載置する。そして、両押さえ部材７２，７４を取付部１表側から拡開して、第２押さえ部材７２のもう一方のボルト挿通孔７０に残りのボルトを挿通するとともに、第１押さえ部材７４のもう一方のねじ孔にこのボルトを螺合する。そしてさらに、取付部１の表側から両ボルトをねじ込んで、両押さえ部材７２，７４を固定台座６６方向に螺進させ、固定台座６６と両押さえ部材７２，７４とで取付孔２周縁の取付部１を狭持固定することにより、取付具６０全体を取付部１に固定する。そして、固定台座６６に物品を固定することにより、取付具６０を介して取付部１に物品が取り付けられることになる。このように、この種の取付具は、取付部１の表側からの作業により取付部１への固定作業が行えるので、カウンター等、作業スペースが充分にとれなかったり、作業の目視が困難なために、取付部の裏側での作業が困難な場合の取付具の取付作業の容易化を図ることができる（特許文献１）。

【０００６】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記した従来の物品の取付具６０では、以下のような問題が生じていた。取付孔２に両押さえ部材７２，７４を挿通可能とするために、第２押さえ部材７２は、取付孔２に挿通した後、残りのボルトを螺合する前には、当初から螺合されているボルト６８の軸心を中心にして回動自在の状態のままである。したがって、この後に、残りのボルトを第２押さえ部材７２に挿通しようとする際に、第２押さえ部材７２の位置決めが正確に行い難く、両押さえ部材７２，７４への残りのボルトの取付作業が円滑には行えない場合がある。また、第１押さえ部材７４は、当初より固定台座６６に対向する位置に固定されており、このため、取付具６０全体では側面視略「コ字状」をなしている。両押さえ部材７２，７４を取付孔に挿通する際には、図６に示すように、未だボルトが挿通されていない側の両押さえ部材７２，７４の端部から取付孔２に差し込むようにして挿通する必要があり、両押さえ部材７２，７４のボルトが挿通されていない先端部を下にして取付具６０を傾けた状態で、両押さえ部材７２，７４を取付孔２に挿通するのであるが、この際には、固定台座６６のボルトが未だ挿通されていない側の端部が取付部１に近接されることになる。よって、取付孔２周辺に配設されている他の物品や、取付部１の形状によっては取付部１自体に固定台座６６が接触してしまい、両押さえ部材７２，７４を取付孔２に挿通できない場合もあった。
【０００７】
本発明は上記した従来の物品の取付具の問題点を解消するものであり、取付部への取り付け作業を容易に行える取付具を提供することを目的とする。
【０００８】
【課題を解決するための手段】
以上の課題を解決するために、本各発明の採った手段を以下に説明する。本発明の物品の取付具は、天板等の取付部に穿設された取付孔に固定されるとともに物品が取り付けられ、周縁に複数の挿通孔が設けられる固定台座と、該挿通孔にそれぞれ挿通されるボルトと、該ボルトが螺合されるねじ孔を少なくとも複数備えて該ボルトの締め付けにより前記固定台座と協働して取付部を挟持可能に設けられるとともに、螺合される第１のボルトの軸心を中心に回動可能な押さえ具と、前記固定台座に固着され、該押さえ具に当接して該押さえ具の回動を規制するガイド部材とを備え、前記押さえ具は、前記押さえ具が前記ガイド部材に当接した状態において、前記固定台座の複数の挿通孔と対向する位置に前記ねじ孔が形成されるとともに、前記固定台座と協働して取付部を狭持可能な位置に位置決めされることを特徴とするものである（請求項１）。
【０００９】
押さえ具は、第１のボルトの軸心を中心に回動可能に設けられるとともに、ガイド部材によって当接されることにより回動を規制され位置決めされる。そして、この位置決めされた状態で、固定台座の複数の挿通孔と対向する位置にねじ孔が位置するように設けられている。よって、押さえ具を取付孔に挿通し、第１のボルト以外の残りのボルトを押さえ具に螺合する作業の際には、固定台座の挿通孔に挿通された残りのボルトの先端は、押さえ具のねじ孔の位置に正確かつ容易に位置決めされる。
【００１０】
また、押さえ具は、固定台座の周縁に設けられた挿通孔に挿通された第１のボルトの軸心を中心に回動可能に設けられているので、第１のボルトの軸心を中心に押さえ具と固定台座とを反対方向に向けて、取付具全体を側面視略クランク形状とすることができる。取付具をこの状態として、取付具全体とともに押さえ具を傾けてその先端から取付孔に挿通することにより、固定台座は、第１のボルトの軸心を中心に、押さえ具先端とは反対の方向、すなわち取付孔とは反対の方向に位置することとなる。よって、押さえ具を取付孔に挿通する際には、固定台座は、取付孔周辺に配設されている他の物品や取付部自体に接触し難くなる。
【００１１】
また本発明において、「固定台座」は、上記したように取付孔周縁に固定されるベースとなる部材であり、ボルトが挿通される複数の挿通孔が備えられている。「押さえ具」は、例えば平面視略Ｃ字状に形成されて、取付孔周縁に沿って密着することのできる形状とすることができ、その長手方向の少なくとも両端にねじ孔を設ける。「第１のボルト」を固定台座の挿通孔に挿通するとともに、押さえ具のねじ孔の一つに螺合した状態で、押さえ具は、第１のボルトの軸心を中心に螺合されたボルトとともに固定台座に対して回動可能に設けられる。また、押さえ具の回動を規制した状態でボルトをねじ込むことにより、押さえ具が固定台座方向に螺進して取付部に圧着され、固定台座と協働して取付部を狭持し、もって取付具が取付部に固定される。
【００１２】
なお、本取付具においては押さえ具の、ガイド部材に当接する部位は、当接したガイド部材が押さえ具に対して滑らないようにして、ガイド部材による押さえ具の位置決めが正確に行われるように、例えば、ガイド部材が収まる切り欠きや凹部を形成したり、ガイド部が係止される突片などを設けても良い。また「ガイド部材」は、上記したように押さえ具の回動を規制することができれば特に形状等に限定はされないが、例えば、剛性の高い「ピン状」の部材などが好ましい。特に、例えば、取付具に水栓本体を取り付ける場合など、固定台座裏側に可撓管など何らかの部材を配設するための空間が必要とされる場合には、固定台座裏側の空間を不必要に制限せず、かつ、押さえ具の位置決めにも支障を及ぼさないように上記のような部材が好適である。
【００１３】
また、この取付具において、第１のボルトの先端部とガイド部材の先端部とが、係止部材を介して互いに固定されたものとすることもできる（請求項２）。
【００１４】
上記したように、第１のボルトに螺合された押さえ具は、第１のボルトの軸心を中心に回動可能に設けられ、ガイド部材により回動を規制された位置において残りのボルトを螺合できるように位置決めされる。本発明のように係止部材を介して第１のボルトの先端部とガイド部材の先端部とを固定することにより、ガイド部材をより堅固に固定することができる。例えば、押さえ具の回動規制を行うに際してガイド部材に外力が加わっても、ガイド部材はふらつき難く、回動規制のガイドとして確実に機能し、押さえ具の位置決めをより正確に行うことができる。また、「係止部材」は、両先端部を互いに係止できるものであれば特に限定はされないが、例えば、両先端部に係止される板状の部材、クリップなどを例示することができる。
【００１５】
また、押さえ具に設けられた、第１のボルトが螺合されるねじ孔以外のねじ孔には、ボルトの先端部をねじ孔に案内するための案内用ガイド部が形成されるものとしても良い（請求項３）。このように構成することにより、ガイド部材により位置決めされた押さえ具に残りのボルトを螺合する際に、ボルト先端部を押さえ具のねじ孔に確実に案内することができる。「案内用ガイド部」は、上記したようにボルトの先端部をねじ孔に案内するものであるが、その形状などは特に限定されず、皿穴とすることや、ねじ孔周縁に突片など設ける例を例示することができる。
【００１６】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明の物品の取付具の実施の形態を図を参考にして詳細に説明する。図１及び図４に示すように、この物品の取付具１０は、流し台等の天板やカウンター等の取付部１の取付孔２に取り付けられ、その上部に水栓本体（図示省略）が固定され、水栓本体に接続された配管をその内部の配管挿通孔１９に挿通させて、取付部１裏側の配管端末具（図示省略）と水栓本体とを接続するものである。
【００１７】
図１に示すように、取付具１０には、取付部１の表側に露呈されて取付孔２に固定される略円筒状の固定台座１４と、固定台座１４から突設されたピン状のガイド部材２０と、固定台座１４に設けられた２つの挿通孔のうちの１つの挿通孔１７に挿通されたボルト２２（本発明でいう「第１のボルト」に相当）と、このボルト２２に螺合される押さえ具３０とが備えられている。
【００１８】
固定台座１４には、略円筒形状に形成された本体１６が備えられており、この本体１６の下端に鍔部１２が周設されている。この鍔部１２は取付孔２よりも大径に形成されており、後述するように、押さえ具３０と協働して取付孔２の周縁を狭持固定するように設けられている。本体１６内部には、固定台座１４上部に取り付けられる水栓本体に接続される可撓管などが挿通される配管挿通孔１９が設けられている。また、本体１６の周縁の内壁には、本体１６軸心を中心にしてほぼ対向する位置に、本体１６の軸心と平行にボルトが挿通される２つの挿通孔１７，１８が設けられている。
【００１９】
固定台座１４裏側には、一方の挿通孔１７に近接した位置に、ピン状のガイド部材２０が突設して固着されている。また、挿通孔１７には、あらかじめ頭２４付きのボルト２２が挿通されて、固定台座１４に仮止めされている。そして、このボルト２２の先端寄りには、平面視略Ｃ字状の板状の押さえ具３０が螺合されている。この押さえ具３０は、ボルト２２に螺合されているとともに、ボルト２２とともに固定台座１４に対して、図１に示す矢印に沿って回動可能に設けられている。
【００２０】
押さえ具３０は、取付孔２の周縁に当接可能な大きさ・曲率のＣ字状に形成され、その長手方向の長さは取付孔２の内径よりも大きく設けられており、後述するように、取付孔２の周縁に密着できるような形状に設けられている。また、押さえ具３０の平面視内側には、押さえ具３０を回動させた際に、ガイド部材２０が当接されて係止される切り欠き状の当接部３６が形成されている。押さえ具３０の両端には、ボルトが螺合されるねじ孔３２，３４が設けられており、固定台座１４の挿通孔１７に挿通されたボルト２２は、あらかじめ一方のねじ孔３２に螺合されている。また、反対側のねじ孔３４は、後述するボルト２３が螺合される皿穴とされており、ねじ孔３４の周縁部に内方に向かって下さがりとされた傾斜面が案内用ガイド部３８として設けられ、ボルト２３の先端部がねじ孔３４に円滑に導かれるように設けられている。なお、ねじ孔３４が設けられる部位を押さえ具３０上面よりも低く設けるとともに、このねじ孔３４周縁の一部に、押さえ具３０上面よりも低く突設された突片を設けて案内用ガイド部としても良い。そして、押さえ具３０はガイド部材２０に当接して回動が規制される位置において、そのねじ孔３２，３４がそれぞれ固定台座１４の挿通孔１７，１８に対向する位置となるように設けられており、後述するように、ガイド部材２０に押さえ具３０を当接するだけで、ボルト２３を挿通孔１８にそのまま挿通していけば、ボルト２３の先端がねじ孔３４に容易かつ確実に導かれる。なお、ねじ孔の位置は押さえ具３０の両端である必要はなく、一方に片寄った位置に設けられていても良いし、ねじ孔の数は２個以上であっても良い。
【００２１】
ボルト２２の先端部及びガイド部材２０の先端部には板状の係止板４０が挿通されて取り付けられ、ボルト２２とガイド部材２０とがその先端において固定されている。図５に示すように、係止板４０にはガイド部材２０及びボルト２２が挿通固定される挿通孔４４，４６が設けられている。ボルト２２の先端寄りには、周溝４８が形成されており、この周溝４８にＥリング５０がはめ込まれている。Ｅリング５０の外径は係止板４０の挿通孔４６より大きく形成されており、周溝４８にはめ込まれたＥリング５０よりも固定台座１４側に挿通された係止板４０が、このＥリング５０により、ボルト２２から抜け落ちないように設けられている。なお、係止板４０の抜け落ち防止には、ボルト２２の先端寄りに周溝４８の代わりに、ピン孔をボルト２２の軸心の直角方向に設け、ピン孔にだるまピン等を挿入しても良いし、ボルト２２の先端寄りには何も加工しないで袋ナットやダブルナットを締め付けて抜け落ち防止をしても良い。
【００２２】
次いで、上記のように構成された取付具１０の取付部１への取付方法について説明する。図１に示す状態から、図２に示すように、押さえ具３０をその先端側（ねじ孔３４側）をボルト２２を中心に反対方向に回動させる。この状態で、押さえ具３０をその先端側から取付孔２裏側に挿通させる。押さえ具３０の長さは取付孔２の内径よりも大きく形成されているので、押さえ具３０を取付孔２に対して横向きにした状態では、押さえ具３０は取付孔２に挿通することが出来ない。よって、押さえ具３０の先端側を斜め下に向けるように取付具１０全体を傾けて、押さえ具３０の先端側から取付孔２に挿通する。この際には図２に示すように、固定台座１４の挿通孔１８側は、押さえ具３０の先端側とは、ボルト２２の軸心を挟んで反対方向に位置しているので、取付部１に対して上方に持ち上げられることとなり、取付孔２周辺に他の水栓部品などが設置してあっても、干渉され難い。
【００２３】
次いで、図３に示すように、固定台座１４を取付部１に対して正立させて固定台座１４を取付部１上に載置する。そして、当接部３６がガイド部材２０に当接するまで押さえ具３０を回動して押さえ具３０の位置決めを行った後に、残りのボルト２３を固定台座１４の挿通孔１８に挿通し、さらにねじ孔３４に螺合する。この際に、ガイド部材２０はその先端がボルト２２に連結固定された状態となっているため、押さえ具３０の回動規制を行うに際してガイド部材２０に外力が加わっても、ふらつき難く、回動規制のガイドとして確実に機能する。このように、押さえ具３０はガイド部材２０により適切に位置決めがなされているので、ボルト２３を挿通孔１８に挿通していくと、案内用ガイド部３８にも導かれて、ボルト２３の先端部は、挿通孔１８に対向するねじ孔３４に極めて円滑に嵌入される。
【００２４】
そして、ボルト２２，２３をねじ孔３２，３４にねじ込むことにより押さえ具３０を固定台座１４側に徐々に螺進させ、鍔部１２とで取付部１を狭持する。このようにして、取付具１０が固定部に堅固に固定される。そしてさらに、固定台座１４上部に水栓本体を固定して、水栓本体の取付部１への固定が完了する。
【００２５】
以上、本発明に係る物品の取付具１０の実施形態を説明したが、本発明はこれに限られることなく特許請求の範囲の主旨の範囲内で種々の変更が可能である。なお、上記した実施の形態から把握できる特許請求の範囲記載の取付具以外の技術的思想について以下に説明する。上記実施の形態では、押さえ具３０にはねじ孔３２，３４を設けることとしたが、「第１のボルトが螺合されるねじ孔と、このねじ孔以外には、固定台座の挿通孔に挿通される棒状の部材等を挿通して押さえ具を係止可能に設けられた係止孔を設けた押さえ具を備えた取付具」とすることもできる。上記実施の形態を例に挙げると、取付具１０では、押さえ具３０にねじ孔３４も設けることとして押さえ具３０の２箇所においてボルトを螺合することにより、より堅固に取付具１０を固定しているが、取付具１０に対する外力がさほど大きくないと思われる場合には、ねじ孔を１箇所にとどめて第１のボルトのみにより押さえ具を締結しても良い。この場合においても、取付具を設置後に、取付具への何らかの外力により取付部１裏側に圧着される押さえ具が位置ズレを起こすことを防止するために、押さえ具に、固定台座の挿通孔に挿通される棒状の部材を挿通する係止孔を設けて押さえ具の位置ズレを防止することができる。そしてこの取付具においても、ガイド部材を上記取付具１０のように設け、押さえ具を適切に位置決めすることにより、押さえ具の係止孔への部材の挿通作業を円滑に行うことができる。また同様に、係止孔に案内用ガイド部を設けることにより、より一層円滑に部材を挿通できる。
【００２６】
【発明の効果】
本発明に係る水栓部品取付具は、上記のように、押さえ具は、第１のボルトの軸心を中心に回動可能に設けられるとともに、押さえ具がガイド部材に当接した状態において、固定台座の複数の挿通孔と対向する位置にねじ孔が形成されるとともに、固定台座と協働して取付部を狭持可能な位置に位置決めされる（請求項１）ので、取付部への取り付け作業を容易に行うことができる。また、第１のボルトの先端部とガイド部材の先端部とが、係止部材を介して互いに固定されたものとすること（請求項２）により、より正確に押さえ具の位置決めを行うことができ取付作業をより容易とすることができる。また、押さえ具に設けられた、第１のボルトが螺合されるねじ孔以外のねじ孔には、ボルトの先端部をねじ孔に案内するための案内用ガイド部が形成されるものとすることにより（請求項３）、さらに取付部への取り付け作業を容易に行うことができる。。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a fixture for an article to which an article such as a water faucet body is fixed by being fixed to a mounting hole opened in a mounting portion such as a top plate or a counter.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various types of mounting fixtures for articles, such as a water faucet main body, which are fixed to mounting holes opened in mounting sections such as a top plate and a counter, are known. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the mounting fixture 60 according to the related art includes a fixing pedestal 66 in which two bolt insertion holes 64 are provided at opposing portions of the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 62, The attached bolt 68 is formed in a substantially C shape, and a second holding member 72 formed with a bolt insertion hole 70 at both ends thereof is formed in a substantially C shape, and a bolt is screwed to both ends thereof. A first pressing member 74 having a screw hole and both ends disposed below the second pressing member 72; a guide member 76 fixed to the fixed base 62 and inserted through one end of the first pressing member 74; Is provided.
[0003]
The fixed base 66 is provided with a flange 67 formed to be larger than the mounting hole 2. The first holding member 74 is positioned around the axis of the bolt 68 by screwing one of the bolts 68 and inserting the guide member 76, and the screw hole on the other side of the first holding member 74 is , Are positioned at positions facing the insertion holes 64 of the fixed base 66. On the other hand, the second holding member 72 is attached to the bolt 68 so as to be rotatable around the axis of the one bolt 68. When the second holding member 72 is rotated to bring both the holding members 72 and 74 into a narrowed state, the width becomes a width that can be inserted into the mounting hole 2, while the two holding members 72 and 74 are expanded. In a substantially annular state, the width is also larger than the mounting hole 2.
[0004]
In order to fix such a mounting member 60 to the mounting hole 2, only one of the bolts 68 is inserted in advance into the second pressing member 72 and screwed to the first pressing member 74, and then both the pressing members 72 are screwed. , 74 are inserted into the rear side of the mounting hole 2 in a state in which the fixing base 66 is pressed down, and the fixing base 66 is placed on the mounting portion 1. Then, both holding members 72 and 74 are expanded from the front side of the mounting portion 1, and the remaining bolts are inserted into the other bolt insertion holes 70 of the second holding member 72, and the other holding member 74 of the first holding member 74. This bolt is screwed into the screw hole. Further, both bolts are screwed in from the front side of the mounting portion 1 so that the pressing members 72 and 74 are screwed in the direction of the fixing pedestal 66, and the fixing pedestal 66 and the pressing members 72 and 74 form the mounting portion on the periphery of the mounting hole 2. The entire mounting fixture 60 is fixed to the mounting portion 1 by holding and fixing the mounting member 1. Then, by fixing the article to the fixing base 66, the article is attached to the attachment section 1 via the attachment 60. As described above, this type of attachment can be fixed to the attachment part 1 by the work from the front side of the attachment part 1, so that a sufficient work space such as a counter cannot be taken, or it is difficult to visually check the work. In addition, when the operation on the back side of the mounting portion is difficult, the mounting operation of the mounting tool can be facilitated (Patent Document 1).
[0005]

JP-A-2002-21131 (pages 3 and 4, FIGS. 1 and 3)
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the above-described conventional article mounting fixture 60 has the following problems. In order to allow the two holding members 72 and 74 to be inserted into the mounting hole 2, the second pressing member 72 is screwed from the beginning after being inserted into the mounting hole 2 and before screwing the remaining bolts. It remains rotatable about the axis of the bolt 68 that is present. Therefore, when trying to insert the remaining bolts through the second holding member 72 thereafter, it is difficult to accurately position the second holding member 72, and the work of attaching the remaining bolts to both the holding members 72 and 74 becomes difficult. In some cases, this cannot be done smoothly. In addition, the first holding member 74 is fixed at a position facing the fixed base 66 from the beginning, and therefore, the entire fixture 60 has a substantially “U-shape” when viewed from the side. When the holding members 72 and 74 are inserted into the mounting holes, as shown in FIG. 6, the holding members 72 and 74 are inserted into the mounting holes 2 from the ends of the holding members 72 and 74 on which the bolts have not yet been inserted. It is necessary to insert the holding members 72 and 74 into the mounting holes 2 in a state where the mounting fixture 60 is inclined with the tips of the holding members 72 and 74 where the bolts are not inserted facing down. In this case, the end of the fixed base 66 on which the bolt has not yet been inserted is brought closer to the mounting portion 1. Therefore, depending on other articles disposed around the mounting hole 2 and the shape of the mounting portion 1, the fixing base 66 comes into contact with the mounting portion 1 itself, and the pressing members 72 and 74 are inserted through the mounting hole 2. In some cases it was not possible.
[0007]
An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional mounting fixture for articles, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting fixture that can easily perform a mounting operation to a mounting portion.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Means taken by each of the present invention to solve the above problems will be described below. The mounting fixture of the article of the present invention is fixed to a mounting hole drilled in a mounting portion such as a top plate, the article is mounted, a fixed pedestal provided with a plurality of insertion holes on the periphery, and each of the mounting holes A bolt to be inserted, and at least a plurality of screw holes into which the bolt is screwed, the bolt being tightened to cooperate with the fixing pedestal so as to be able to sandwich the mounting portion, and to be screwed into the first A holding member rotatable around the axis of the bolt, and a guide member fixed to the fixed base and abutting against the holding member to regulate the rotation of the holding member; In a state where the holding member is in contact with the guide member, the screw hole is formed at a position facing the plurality of insertion holes of the fixed pedestal, and the mounting portion can be held in cooperation with the fixed pedestal. Specially positioned It is an (claim 1).
[0009]
The presser is provided so as to be rotatable about the axis of the first bolt, and its rotation is regulated and positioned by being brought into contact with the guide member. Then, in this positioned state, the screw holes are provided at positions facing the plurality of insertion holes of the fixed base. Therefore, when inserting the retainer through the mounting hole and screwing the remaining bolts other than the first bolts into the retainer, the tip of the remaining bolt inserted through the through hole of the fixing base is pressed. It is accurately and easily positioned at the position of the screw hole of the tool.
[0010]
In addition, since the presser is provided so as to be rotatable about the axis of the first bolt inserted into the insertion hole provided on the peripheral edge of the fixed base, the holder is provided around the axis of the first bolt. With the holding tool and the fixing pedestal facing in opposite directions, the entire mounting tool can have a substantially crank shape in side view. With the fixture in this state, the holder is tilted together with the entire fixture and inserted into the mounting hole from the tip of the holder, so that the fixing pedestal is oriented in the direction opposite to the tip of the holder around the axis of the first bolt. That is, it is located in the direction opposite to the mounting hole. Therefore, when the holding tool is inserted into the mounting hole, the fixing pedestal hardly comes into contact with other articles disposed around the mounting hole or the mounting portion itself.
[0011]
In the present invention, the “fixing pedestal” is a member serving as a base fixed to the periphery of the mounting hole as described above, and includes a plurality of insertion holes through which bolts are inserted. The “holding member” may be formed, for example, in a substantially C-shape in a plan view, and may be shaped so as to be able to adhere along the periphery of the mounting hole, and have screw holes at at least both ends in the longitudinal direction. In a state where the “first bolt” was inserted through the insertion hole of the fixing pedestal and was screwed into one of the screw holes of the holding member, the holding member was screwed around the axis of the first bolt. It is provided rotatably with respect to the fixed base together with the bolt. In addition, by screwing the bolt in a state where the rotation of the holding member is restricted, the holding member is screwed in the direction of the fixed pedestal and crimped to the mounting portion, and the holding portion is cooperated with the fixed pedestal to hold the mounting portion. The mounting fixture is fixed to the mounting portion.
[0012]
In this attachment, the portion of the holding member that comes into contact with the guide member should be such that the contacted guide member does not slip with respect to the holding member so that the positioning of the holding member by the guide member is performed accurately. For example, a notch or a concave portion for accommodating the guide member may be formed, or a protruding piece to which the guide portion is locked may be provided. The shape of the “guide member” is not particularly limited as long as the rotation of the holding member can be regulated as described above. For example, a “pin-shaped” member having high rigidity is preferable. In particular, for example, when attaching a faucet body to a fixture, when a space for arranging some member such as a flexible tube on the back side of the fixed base is required, the space on the back side of the fixed base is unnecessary. The above-described members are preferable so as not to limit the positioning and not to hinder the positioning of the holding member.
[0013]
In this attachment, the distal end of the first bolt and the distal end of the guide member may be fixed to each other via a locking member.
[0014]
As described above, the retainer screwed to the first bolt is provided so as to be rotatable about the axis of the first bolt, and removes the remaining bolt at a position where the rotation is regulated by the guide member. It is positioned so that it can be screwed. By fixing the distal end of the first bolt and the distal end of the guide member via the locking member as in the present invention, the guide member can be more firmly fixed. For example, even when an external force is applied to the guide member when regulating the rotation of the holding member, the guide member is unlikely to wobble, functions reliably as a rotation regulating guide, and can more accurately position the holding member. Further, the “locking member” is not particularly limited as long as it can lock both ends, and examples thereof include a plate-shaped member, a clip, and the like that are locked to both ends. .
[0015]
Further, the guide hole for guiding the tip of the bolt to the screw hole may be formed in a screw hole provided in the holding member other than the screw hole into which the first bolt is screwed. Good (claim 3). With this configuration, when the remaining bolt is screwed into the holding member positioned by the guide member, the bolt tip can be reliably guided into the screw hole of the holding member. The “guide portion for guiding” guides the tip of the bolt to the screw hole as described above, but the shape and the like are not particularly limited, and may be a countersunk hole, a projecting piece or the like at the periphery of the screw hole. An example of the provision can be given.
[0016]

In addition, as will be described later, if the bolt 23 is inserted through the insertion hole 18 by simply contacting the pressing member 30 with the guide member 20, the tip of the bolt 23 is easily and reliably guided to the screw hole 34. Note that the positions of the screw holes need not be at both ends of the holding member 30 and may be provided at positions offset to one side, or the number of screw holes may be two or more.
[0021]
A plate-like locking plate 40 is inserted and attached to the tip of the bolt 22 and the tip of the guide member 20, and the bolt 22 and the guide member 20 are fixed at the tip. As shown in FIG. 5, the locking plate 40 is provided with insertion holes 44 and 46 through which the guide member 20 and the bolt 22 are inserted and fixed. A peripheral groove 48 is formed near the tip of the bolt 22, and an E-ring 50 is fitted in the peripheral groove 48. The outer diameter of the E-ring 50 is formed larger than the insertion hole 46 of the locking plate 40, and the locking plate 40, which is inserted closer to the fixed pedestal 14 than the E-ring 50 fitted in the circumferential groove 48, is formed by this E-ring. The ring 50 is provided so as not to fall off the bolt 22. In order to prevent the locking plate 40 from falling off, a pin hole may be provided in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the bolt 22 instead of the circumferential groove 48 near the tip of the bolt 22, and a darma pin or the like may be inserted into the pin hole. Alternatively, the cap nut or the double nut may be tightened to prevent the bolt 22 from falling off without processing anything near the tip of the bolt 22.
[0022]
Next, a method of attaching the attachment 10 configured as described above to the attachment portion 1 will be described. From the state shown in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 2, the tip side (the screw hole 34 side) of the holding tool 30 is rotated in the opposite direction about the bolt 22. In this state, the holding member 30 is inserted from the front end side to the back side of the mounting hole 2. Since the length of the holding member 30 is formed larger than the inner diameter of the mounting hole 2, the holding member 30 can be inserted into the mounting hole 2 in a state where the holding member 30 is oriented sideways with respect to the mounting hole 2. Absent. Therefore, the entire mounting fixture 10 is tilted so that the front end side of the holding tool 30 is directed obliquely downward, and is inserted into the mounting hole 2 from the front end side of the holding tool 30. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, since the insertion hole 18 side of the fixing base 14 is located in the opposite direction to the distal end side of the holding member 30 with the axis of the bolt 22 interposed therebetween, the mounting portion 1 , And even if other faucet parts are installed around the mounting hole 2, it is hard to interfere.
[0023]
Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the fixed pedestal 14 is erected with respect to the mounting portion 1 and the fixed pedestal 14 is placed on the mounting portion 1. Then, after the pressing member 30 is rotated to position the pressing member 30 until the contact portion 36 comes into contact with the guide member 20, the remaining bolts 23 are inserted into the insertion holes 18 of the fixed base 14, and Screw into the hole 34. At this time, since the guide member 20 is in a state where its tip is connected and fixed to the bolt 22, even when an external force is applied to the guide member 20 when restricting the rotation of the holding member 30, the guide member 20 is less likely to wobble, and is rotated. Serves as a regulatory guide. As described above, since the presser 30 is appropriately positioned by the guide member 20, when the bolt 23 is inserted into the insertion hole 18, the guide 23 is also guided by the guide portion 38, and the tip of the bolt 23 Is inserted into the screw hole 34 facing the insertion hole 18 very smoothly.
[0024]
Then, by screwing the bolts 22 and 23 into the screw holes 32 and 34, the presser 30 is gradually screwed toward the fixed pedestal 14 side, and the mounting portion 1 is held by the flange portion 12. In this way, the fixture 10 is firmly fixed to the fixing part. Further, the faucet main body is further fixed on the fixing pedestal 14, and the fixing of the faucet main body to the mounting portion 1 is completed.
[0025]
The embodiment of the article attachment 10 according to the present invention has been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims. In addition, technical ideas other than the attachments described in the claims that can be understood from the above-described embodiment will be described below. In the above-described embodiment, the holding tool 30 is provided with the screw holes 32 and 34. However, "the screw hole into which the first bolt is screwed, and the insertion hole of the fixing base other than the screw hole," It is also possible to provide a fixture having a retainer provided with a locking hole provided so as to be able to penetrate a rod-shaped member or the like to be inserted and to lock the retainer. Taking the above-described embodiment as an example, in the fixture 10, the fixture 30 is fixed more firmly by providing a screw hole 34 in the retainer 30 and screwing bolts at two places of the retainer 30. However, when it is considered that the external force on the fixture 10 is not so large, the holding member may be fastened with only the first bolt while the screw hole is kept at one place. Also in this case, after the mounting fixture is installed, in order to prevent the pressing fixture crimped to the back side of the mounting portion 1 from being displaced by some external force on the mounting fixture, the holding fixture is inserted into the insertion hole of the fixing base. By providing a locking hole through which the rod-shaped member to be inserted is inserted, it is possible to prevent the displacement of the presser. Also in this attachment, a guide member is provided like the above-mentioned attachment 10, and by appropriately positioning the holding member, the operation of inserting the member into the locking hole of the holding member can be performed smoothly. Similarly, by providing the guide portion in the locking hole, the member can be inserted more smoothly.
