Abstract

The disclosure provides a device holding member and a device holding member set. The device holding member is engaged with a bottom member formed with a hole or a frame supporting the bottom member and holds a device arranged on the bottom member. The device holding member includes a belt and a locking member. The belt includes an end part provided with an engaging member engageable with an edge part of the bottom member or the frame and holds the device. The locking member is provided between the engaging member and the device and locks a part of the belt to the hole.

Claims (30)

1. A device holding member which is engaged with a base formed with a hole or a frame supporting the base and holds a device arranged on the base, the device holding member comprising:

a belt which comprises an end part provided with an engaging member engageable with an edge part of the base or the frame and holds the device; and

a locking member which is provided between the engaging member and the device and locks a part of the belt to the hole.

2. The device holding member according to claim 1 , wherein the locking member is configured to be inserted into the hole from a side of a surface in one direction of the base to a side of a surface in another direction of the base to lock the part of the belt to the hole.

3. The device holding member according to claim 2 , wherein the locking member is configured to lock the part of the belt on the surface in the another direction of the base by inserting into the hole together with the part of the belt.

4. The device holding member according to claim 3 , wherein the locking member is configured to comprise a plate-shaped member or a rod-shaped member having an elongated shape, and

the locking member is engaged with the base by arranging a long direction of the locking member toward a short direction of the hole on the surface in the another direction of the base to be capable of preventing coming off from the hole together with the belt.

5. The device holding member according to claim 1 , wherein the locking member is configured to comprise a rotating part which is rotatable and has a plate-shaped member or a rod-shaped member having an elongated shape, and

in a state in which the rotating part inserted into the hole from a side of a surface in one direction of the base with a long direction of the locking member extending along a long direction of the hole is rotated toward a short direction of the hole on a surface in another direction of the base, a part of the rotating part is engaged with the base.

6. The device holding member according to claim 1 , wherein the locking member is configured to comprise a clipping part which clips the part of the belt and a rotating part which has a plate-shaped member or a rod-shaped member having an elongated shape and is rotatable with respect to the clipping part, and

in a state in which the rotating part inserted into the hole from a side of a surface in one direction of the base with a long direction of the locking member extending along a long direction of the hole is rotated toward a short direction of the hole on a surface in another direction of the base, a part of the rotating part is engaged with the base.

7. The device holding member according to claim 4 , wherein the plate-shaped member or the rod-shaped member of the locking member is configured to have a rectangular shape having a long edge and a short edge in a plan view.

8. The device holding member according to claim 4 , wherein the plate-shaped member or the rod-shaped member of the locking member is configured to comprise a pair of long edges and notched parts cut out respectively at the pair of long edges in a plan view, and

with the locking member engaged with the base on the surface in the another direction of the base, the part of the belt is arranged in the notched part.

9. The device holding member according to claim 3 , wherein the locking member is configured to comprise a pair of sidewalls and a bottom part connecting the pair of sidewalls, and

by restoring the pair of sidewalls which has been inserted into the hole from a side of the bottom part with the pair of sidewalls elastically deformed in a direction approaching each other, the locking member is capable of preventing coming off from the hole together with the belt.

10. The device holding member according to claim 1 , wherein the locking member is configured to comprise a pair of sidewalls and a bottom part connecting the pair of sidewalls,

the pair of sidewalls comprises a pair of wall parts connected to the bottom part, and at least one pair of protruding parts protruding from the pair of wall parts toward an outer side of the pair of wall parts, and

with restoration of the pair of sidewalls which has been inserted into the hole from a side of the bottom part with the pair of sidewalls elastically deformed in a direction approaching each other, the pair of protruding parts is engaged with end parts of the hole.

11. The device holding member according to claim 1 , wherein the belt is composed of a pair of belt parts connected to one side and another side of the device, and

each of the pair of belt parts comprises the engaging member, a connecting part connectable with the device, and a belt main body part which connects the engaging member and the connecting part.

12. The device holding member according to claim 11 , wherein a length of the belt is configured to be adjustable by at least one of the engaging member, the connecting part, and the belt main body part.

13. A device holding member set comprising a device holding member which is engaged with a base formed with a hole or a frame supporting the base and holds a device arranged on the base, and a rotation assisting tool, wherein

the device holding member comprises:

a belt which holds the device and comprises an end part provided with an engaging member engageable with an edge part of the base or the frame; and

a locking member which is provided between the engaging member and the device and locks a part of the belt to the hole,

the locking member comprises a rotating part which is rotatable and has a plate-shaped member or a rod-shaped member having an elongated shape, wherein in a state in which the rotating part inserted into the hole from a side of a surface in one direction of the base with a long direction of the locking member extending along a long direction of the hole is rotated toward a short direction of the hole on a surface in another direction of the base, a part of the rotating part is engaged with the base,

the rotating part comprises multiple recesses arranged on one surface on one side and another side of a rotation center axis, and

the rotation assisting tool comprises multiple protrusions provided in correspondence to the recesses of the rotating part.

14. The device holding member set according to claim 13 , wherein with the protrusions of the rotation assisting tool inserted into the recesses of the rotating part, the rotating part is configured to be rotatable by rotating the rotation assisting tool around the rotation center axis.
