Abstract
This document describes a pipe clip for quick mount and release. In aspects, the pipe clip includes a base and an upper cover, with several arc-shaped cavities provided on the base. The outer side of the arc-shaped concave cavity is provided with connecting column and racks. The upper cover is provided with a pressing concave cavity corresponding to each arc-shaped concave cavity. The base and upper cover configured to form a pipe cavity by combining one arc-shaped concave cavity and one pressing concave cavity. The upper cover is provided with a perforation corresponding to the connecting column and the connecting column is configured to penetrate through the perforation so that the upper cover can rotate around the connecting column.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a base, the base defining a first arc-shaped concave cavity and a second arc-shaped concave cavity, the base further defining an outer side portion, the outer side portion comprising:
- a first rack located on a first end of the base;
- a second rack located on a second end of the base;
- a connecting column positioned between the first rack and the second rack;
- and
- a positioning plate provided at a root of the connecting column;
- and
- an upper cover, the upper cover defining a first pressing concave cavity corresponding to the first arc-shaped concave cavity and a second pressing concave cavity corresponding to the second arc-shaped concave cavity, the upper cover and base configured to form a pipe cavity when assembled together, the upper cover further comprising:
- a perforation corresponding to the connecting column, the connecting column configured to penetrate through the perforation so that the upper cover can rotate around the connecting column;
- and
- a first insertion slot corresponding to the first rack, the first insertion slot further comprising a first clamping edge configured to act on the first rack;
- a second insertion slot corresponding to the second rack, the second insertion slot further comprising a second clamping edge configured to act on the second rack;
- and
- a positioning groove defined in the upper cover,
- wherein when the upper cover is combined with the base, the first and second racks are inserted into the first and second insertion slots and the positioning plate is inserted into the positioning groove, and
- wherein when the first and second clamping edges act on the first and second racks, the upper cover and the base are locked relative to each other.
An apparatus comprising:
- a base, the base defining a first arc-shaped concave cavity and a second arc-shaped concave cavity, the base further defining an outer side portion, the outer side portion comprising:
- a first rack located on a first end of the base;
- a second rack located on a second end of the base;
- a connecting column positioned between the first rack and the second rack, the connecting column further comprising an end including a limit flange and a convex block in a middle of the connecting column;
- and
- a sector block that protrudes from a curved wall of the limit flange;
- and
- an upper cover, the upper cover defining a first pressing concave cavity corresponding to the first arc-shaped concave cavity and a second pressing concave cavity corresponding to the second arc-shaped concave cavity, the upper cover and the base are configured to form a pipe cavity when assembled together, the upper cover further comprising:
- a perforation corresponding to the connecting column, the perforation further comprising a hook configured to stop the limit flange to prevent the upper cover from coming out and a first stopper provided on an inner wall of the perforation, the connecting column configured to penetrate through the perforation so that the upper cover can rotate around the connecting column;
- a first insertion slot corresponding to the first rack, the first insertion slot further comprising a first clamping edge configured to act on the first rack;
- and
- a second insertion slot corresponding to the second rack, the second insertion slot further comprising a second clamping edge configured to act on the second rack,
- wherein when the first and second clamping edges act on the first and second racks, the upper cover and the base are locked relative to each other,
- wherein when the sector block and the first stopper are axially misaligned, the connecting column can freely pass through the perforation, and
- wherein when the connecting column can freely pass through the perforation, the convex block and the hook are dislocated.
An apparatus comprising:
- a base, the base defining a first arc-shaped concave cavity and a second arc-shaped concave cavity, the base further defining an outer side portion, the outer side portion comprising:
- a first rack located on a first end of the base;
- a second rack located on a second end of the base;
- a connecting column positioned between the first rack and the second rack, the connecting column further comprising an end that includes a limit flange and a convex block in a middle of the connecting column;
- and
- a sector block that protrudes from a curved wall of the limit flange;
- and
- an upper cover, the upper cover defining a first pressing concave cavity corresponding to the first arc-shaped concave cavity and a second pressing concave cavity corresponding to the second arc-shaped concave cavity, the upper cover and the base are configured to form a pipe cavity when assembled together, the upper cover further comprising:
- a perforation corresponding to the connecting column, the perforation comprising a hook configured to stop the limit flange to prevent the upper cover from coming out and at least one first stopper provided on an inner wall of the perforation, the connecting column configured to penetrate through the perforation so that the upper cover can rotate around the connecting column;
- a first insertion slot corresponding to the first rack, the first insertion slot further comprising a first clamping edge configured to act on the first rack;
- and
- a second insertion slot corresponding to the second rack, the second insertion slot further comprising a second clamping edge configured to act on the second rack,
- wherein when the first and second clamping edges act on the first and second racks, the upper cover and the base are locked relative to each other,
- wherein when the sector block and the at least one first stopper are axially overlapped or partially overlapped, an axial displacement of the connecting column is restricted, and
- wherein the axial displacement of the connecting column is restricted, the convex block is pressed against the hook.
