Abstract
A fixing device includes: a top body formed in a shape of a pipe having a hollow portion continuously formed from a top to a bottom of the top body, and fastened to a fixing anchor fixedly installed on the structure; an elastic member wrapped on an outer surface of the top body in a ring shape by an elastic force; a wire having a predetermined length, and having an upper portion fastened to the top body and a lower portion fastened to the bottom body so as to prevent the pipe from falling down when the bottom body is separated from the top body due to the falling down of the pipe, wherein the elastic member is formed in a shape of a coil spring and is installed on the top body after being deformed into a ring shape such that both ends thereof are connected to each other.
Claims4
A fixing device for preventing a pipe installed on a structure from falling down, the fixing device comprising:
- a top body formed in a shape of a pipe having a hollow portion continuously formed from a top to a bottom of the top body, and fastened to a fixing anchor fixedly installed on the structure;
- an elastic member wrapped on an outer surface of the top body in a ring shape by an elastic force, in which a part of a body of the elastic member protrudes toward an inside of the hollow portion in at least two spots;
- a bottom body having an upper portion which is inserted through the hollow portion of the top body and is connected to the top body while being fitted around an outer surface of the elastic member protruding toward the inside of the hollow portion when the upper portion is inserted, and a lower portion which is fastened to a fixing ring configured to be fastened to the pipe;
- and
- a wire having a length, and having an upper portion fastened to the top body and a lower portion fastened to the bottom body so as to prevent the pipe from falling down when the bottom body is separated from the top body due to the falling down of the pipe,
- wherein the elastic member is formed in a shape of a coil spring and is installed on the top body after being deformed into the ring shape such that both ends thereof are connected to each other,
- wherein the top body includes:
- a plurality of fixing grooves radially formed based on a center of a hollow portion having a diameter, and formed inside the top body;
- an insertion groove into which the elastic member is inserted so as to wrap a circumferential surface of the top body in the ring shape;
- an opening portion formed through an outer surface of the insertion groove to communicate with an inside of the fixing groove so that a part of the outer surface of the elastic member disposed in the insertion groove is drawn-in to protrude toward the inside of the fixing groove so as to be detachably fastened to the bottom body;
- and a ring portion extending upward from an upper surface of the top body so as to be rotatably fastened to the fixing anchor, in which the upper portion of the wire is rotatably fastened to the ring portion, and
- wherein the top body further includes a separation prevention cap for preventing separation of the elastic member inserted into the insertion groove, an inner surface of the separation prevention cap is detachably screw-coupled to an outer surface of the lower portion of the top body, and an inclined taper, which makes contact with the outer surface of the elastic member, is formed at an upper portion of the separation prevention cap (150) to press the elastic member step by step.
