Abstract

A vertical firefighting pipe ( 2 ) is holdable in a seating part ( 14 ) of a holder ( 10 ) next to a horizontal square pipe ( 1 ) insertable between a side plate ( 13 ) and a guide pin ( 31 ) in the holder, the firefighting pipe holdable in the seating part by a fastening screw ( 50 ) in a pressing plate ( 40 ) insertable between a pressing plate guide pin ( 30 ) and a cover plate ( 20 ) of the holder.

Claims (9)

1. A firefighting pipe fixing device for vertically fixing a firefighting pipe to a square pipe horizontally fixed and mounted adjacent a ceiling of a building, the firefighting pipe fixing device comprising:

a holder having an upper plate and lower plate parallel to the upper plate joined together by a side plate perpendicular to both the upper plate and the lower plate, and a square pipe insertion path through which the square pipe is passable for resting against the side plate in a rear part of the holder;

an upper plate opening portion formed in a front part of the upper plate and facing a lower plate opening portion formed in the lower plate that together provide a seating part in the front part of the holder as matching and aligned arch shaped cut-out openings having a width into which the firefighting pipe is insertable;

a pipe pressing part for insertion into the front part of the holder for fixing the firefighting pipe when positioned in the seating part so as to perpendicularly pass through the upper plate and the lower plate facing a side surface of the square pipe when inserted into the square pipe insertion path,

wherein the pipe pressing part comprises: a cover plate fixed at end portions of the upper plate and the lower plate of the front part of the holder in parallel with the side plate; a pressing plate for insertion into the holder between the firefighting pipe and the cover plate; and a fastening screw that when screw-coupled to the pressing plate causes a front end of the fastening screw to press a side wall of the firefighting pipe.

2. The firefighting pipe fixing device according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing plate is insertable into the holder in a sliding manner, and

wherein pressing plate guide pins are mounted between the upper plate and the lower plate in order to directionally guide insertion of the pressing plate into the holder in the sliding manner.

3. The firefighting pipe fixing device according to claim 1 , wherein the cover plate has a guide groove formed in a direction so that the fixing screw is movable to a position where the fixing screw is coupled to the pressing plate.

4. The firefighting pipe fixing device according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing plate has a stopper protruding at an end thereof to accurately locate the fastening screw at the center of the opening portions by limiting a length of insertion of the pressing plate.
