Its uses include, for example, temporary structures that can be used for high-level personnel when renovating or modifying the appearance of a building. The stent is generally composed of a large number of stent columns / rigid tubes / hose. The stent columns / rigid tubes / hose are connected to each other and / or to other support and frame elements through 10 kinds of coupling members to provide a sturdy and Stable structure. These other support elements may include, for example, beams, deck sheets, rail elements, and the like. Depending on whether the coupling is to connect a rigid tube to another rigid tube or another bracket, and according to the connection orientation (for example, the components are connected together in a stack, lateral or 15 other orientations), the coupling can have many different forms. Although there are various forms of coupling members, they generally use the same configuration to hold the rigid tube of the bracket. This configuration is a cover member and a threaded fixing bolt that are hinged to the opposite ends of the body of the light fitting, respectively. form. To hold a hard tube, the coupling body and the cover are placed around the hard tube 20 'and the bolts are pivoted into a slot at the free end of the cover. A snail is screwed with a bolt to engage the cover at the slot, and tightened with a wrench to lose the cover against the body of the coupling. In the industry, these fastening arrangements are quite common but still defective. For example, light-weight parts generally require a high degree of maintenance to ensure that the bolt threads are long. The invention description and the nut are protected from cement, dust and the like. Obstacles. Also, it takes a lot of time to install the coupling on the rigid pipe and remove it, and it will be more difficult to remove if cement or dust has entered the screw threads or nuts during use. These problems are exacerbated by the large number of light closing elements typically found in any bracket assembly.
C發明内容；J 本發明提供替代形式的支架耦合件。 本發明在一型態中提供一種支架耦合件，此支架耦合 件係具有一體元件、一覆蓋件及一用於固定住覆蓋件與體 10 70件之固定裝置，其中固定裝置係包括一閂鎖元件及一可 旋轉式偏心元件，偏心元件的旋轉係引動問鎖元件而將覆 蓋件與體元件驅迫在一起（藉以使一硬管能夠握持在覆蓋 件與體元件之間）。 根據本發明之一支架耦合件的使用者係可沿著一硬管

並且亦因為沒有需要保持清潔之螺帽及狹窄的螺检螺 6 588146 玖、發明說明 紋，所以一般需要比習知技術耦合件更少的維修工作。 偏心元件可能係為將其旋轉動作轉換成閂鎖元件的適 當運動之任何適當的形式，且應注意“偏心元件”係包括其 中可使問鎖元件譬如以搞轉方式接合一偏離此總成的旋轉 5 軸線之總成元件之總成。 閂鎖及偏心元件較佳係安裝在耦合件體部上，這將讓 耦合件成為只需要一可供閂鎖元件接合的岸面/接合部份 之簡單形式。但可能將兩元件均安裝在覆蓋件上（此情形 中，閃鎖元件將接合耦合件體元件的一部份卜另一替代 方式中，可在體元件與覆蓋件之間將閃鎖及偏心元件的安 裝加以分割。此情形中，譬如，一閃鎖元件可枢設至覆蓋 件並且可譬如藉由一鉤件可釋放式接合位於體元件上的一 偏心元件。 閃鎖元件可能具有任何適當的形式、較佳包含一具有

向為使得耦合件基底部呈現垂直狀（可供延伸形成支撐臂 之基底部的端點係為下端點）。使用者接著將硬管倚靠在 10兩臂上，然後可利用固定裝置及覆蓋件將處於定位的硬管 緊固至各耦合件。先前需要兩個人來進行此任務，其中一 人固持住常為6公尺長度之硬管的一端點，另一人則緊固 住處於定位之硬f的另一端點。應注意可利用偏心、元件將 硬營緊固在耦合件上而快速地完成此程序，所以硬管只需 15以未鎖定方式倚靠在一支撐臂上一段短的時間長度。因此 ，利用本發明的耦合件將可使水平式安裝一支架硬管的整 體程序變得更加簡單，其更為快速而且可由一人單獨進行 ’偏心元件或覆蓋件元件可安裝在支撐臂上。 支樓臂及偏心元件組合之另一優點在於，當一硬管水 20平式定位時，在最後緊固住耦合件之前，耦合件覆蓋件可 由處於定位的閂鎖元件鬆弛地固持在水平硬管上方而不由 偏心元件完全上緊。此情形中，若一硬管受到意外敲擊或 類似狀況，將碰觸到一耦合件的覆蓋件並譬如經由接合覆 蓋件中的凹口進一步接合閂鎖元件，故有助於在耦合件上 9 588146 玖、發明說明 緊之前防止譬如因為意外敲擊或類似狀況而使硬管滾出耦 合件外。 支撐臂可延伸至對於硬管提供適當支撐表面所需要之 程度，譬如具有比受支撐硬管半徑更大之長度。對於49.6 5公厘直徑的硬管而言，支撐臂的較佳長度為55公厘。 支撐臂可進一步阻止一硬管滾出耦合件。譬如，雖然 支撐臂一般係直接延伸出體部外，但支撐臂亦可略為朝向 體部的相對端點傾斜，所以當體部為垂直式安裝時，支撐 臂從水平方向往上傾斜，支撐臂亦可以添加或取代方式包 1〇括一制動器或唇部以制止一硬管的移動，且支撐表面可朝 向其自由端點往上彎曲，譬如可與一典型硬管的圓周輪廓 呈現互補。 較佳，體部具有從端點往外延伸之一臂且在其間可設 有更^，其中至少一臂具有適於在使用時提供上述支標 15臂之長度。偏心元件可安裝在其中一臂上，且覆蓋件元件 可安裝在另一臂上，偏心元件較佳安裝在支撐臂上。 除了上述特性外，根據本發明之一耦合件係可包括任 何其他連接構件或類似物，藉以將耦合件所握持的一硬管 與另一硬管或其他支架元件加以連接。 〇 一較佳形式中，耦合件係包括兩或更多個耦合單元，

耦合件1在第1及2圖中位於完全閉合位置並夾固在一 支架硬管6周圍。 覆蓋元件3係由一鉚釘8樞設於基底元件2的一 u形直立 凸緣或臂7上，鉚釘8分別通過基底元件2及覆蓋元件3的孔 9及10，覆蓋元件3在其包含閂鎖凹口 12的自由端點上係具 有一對的臂11。 基底元件2及覆蓋元件3係在其間容納支架硬管6，並 具有可分別接合硬管6外表面之適當形狀的支承部13及14 。藉由使各種元件具有適當形狀及尺寸，耦合件丨當然可 夾固住具有其他剖面的硬管（譬如箱形剖面）、及/或在體元 件2與覆蓋元件3之間將兩個或更多個硬管夾固在一起。 閂鎖桿4在其基底端點上具有一眼孔部15，偏心轴總 成5延伸通過此眼孔部15，閂鎖桿4亦在其自由端點上具有 588146 玖、發明說明 一 T形部16，T形部16的交叉件係界定一對楔形掣子17，此 對楔形掣子17係與覆蓋件臂11上的凹口

The present invention provides a bracket coupling member in one form. The bracket coupling member has an integral element, a cover member, and a fixing device for fixing the cover member and the body 10 to 70 pieces. The fixing device includes a latch. The element and a rotatable eccentric element. The rotation of the eccentric element drives the interlocking element to drive the cover and the body element together (so that a hard tube can be held between the cover and the body element). A user of a stent coupling member according to the present invention can place the coupling member body member and a cover member around a rigid tube 15 (the cover member is preferably hinged to the body member with an end point), and the interlocking member such as an engagement The cover can then be clamped between the cover and the body element simply by turning the eccentric element and pressing the flash lock element against the cover. To remove, just reverse the process. 20 Therefore, the light-fitting parts are simple and can be quickly turned, for example, only a half of the eccentric device is rotated, and the fixed nut is not tightened or loosened along the length of a threaded screw inspection, so assembly can be reduced. And the cost of disassembling the bracket. And because there is no need to keep the nut clean and the narrow nut 6 588146 发明, the description of the invention, so generally less maintenance work than conventional technology couplings. The eccentric element may be any suitable form that converts its rotational motion into the proper movement of the latching element, and it should be noted that the "eccentric element" includes a mechanism in which the interlocking element may Assembly of assembly elements that rotate 5 axes. The latch and eccentric element are preferably mounted on the body of the coupling, which will allow the coupling to be a simple form that only requires a land / engaging portion for the latch element to engage. However, it is possible to mount both elements on the cover (in this case, the flash lock element will engage a part of the body element of the coupling. In another alternative, the flash lock and the eccentricity may be placed between the body element and the cover. The installation of the element is divided. In this case, for example, a flash lock element can be pivoted to the cover and can releasably engage an eccentric element located on the body element, such as by a hook. The flash lock element may have any suitable The form, preferably, includes a rod with a cross member (such as a T-bar), the cross member of the rod is a joint-pair arm, such as the arm of the coupling cover. However, it may also have an alternative structure, such as a flash lock The element may have an eyelet, hook, or inverted structure, for example, to engage an end point or a protrusion of the coupling cover. 20 is preferably a crank element. The crank element preferably has a shaft, such as including a A u-shaped central shaft that can be engaged by the latching element. When using a crank shaft, the position of the f-curved portion of the shaft will determine the actuation of the 70-piece lock, so in the _ position, the flash lock element is loose. He states 4 It can be placed on the cover, but when it is rotated to the second position, the shaft will be turned. 70 pieces of door locks, for example, guide it to the body element, and the cover is clamped against 7 roses. The invention describes a closed hard tube. The crankshaft may have alternatives, such as a cam configuration. For example, an interlocking element may be attached to the periphery of a disc mounted on a shaft. The latch 7L may be used to connect eccentric parts in any suitable manner such as pivot 'And may include a fishing piece or eyelet portion to allow, for example, the crank shaft of the eccentric element to extend through. A braking portion may be provided to prevent the eccentric element from being excessively rotated to loosen the latch element, which may include a body located on the coupling element. A braking flange on an eccentric element where a braking portion on the element is engaged. 10 The eccentric element may have a head element at one or both ends for engaging a wrench or the like to facilitate rotation of the element. In the preferred form, the head element has a triangular configuration, but may also have other configurations, such as a square or other polygonal cross-section. The body element and the cover may include support of appropriate construction. The surface is connected to a rigid tube with a tubular support, but it can also accept rigid tubes with any cross-sectional shape, such as rigid tubes including square or rectangular cross-sections. For example, due to tolerance factors, the cover and body elements may accommodate a certain range For example, the cover may receive the latch element at several locations along its length, and accommodate larger rigid parts by engaging with the latch element 20 closer to the free end of the cover. Tube. The cover may include one or more notches to receive a free end of the latching element. The portion of the latching element used to engage the one or more notches may be wedge-shaped to facilitate positioning and retention Within the notch, but may also have other shapes. 8 588146 玖, description of the invention In a preferred form that may use a stent coupling to secure a stent rigid tube in a horizontal position, the Fuhe may include a slave The support arm with the elements fully extended allows the coupling member to support a stiff tube in a wall position without locking the coupling member. 5 This allows the user to horizontally install a bracket rigid tube between, for example, two vertical bracket rigid tubes in a way that does not require assistance, so the user can place a face piece on each of the vertical rigid tubes. The upper part is oriented so that the base part of the coupling part is vertical (the end point of the base part that can be extended to form a support arm is the lower end point). The user then leans the rigid tube on the two arms, and then can use the fixing device and cover to fasten the rigid tube in position to each coupling member. Previously, two people were required to perform this task. One of them held one end of the rigid tube, which was often 6 meters in length, and the other fastened the other end of the rigid f located. It should be noted that the eccentric, component can be used to fasten the hard camp on the coupling to complete this procedure quickly, so the hard tube only needs to lean against a support arm in an unlocked manner for a short period of time. Therefore, the use of the coupling member of the present invention will make the overall procedure of horizontally mounting a stent-hard tube easier, which is faster and can be performed by one person alone. The eccentric element or cover element can be mounted on the support arm. Another advantage of the combination of the outrigger arm and the eccentric element is that when a rigid pipe is positioned horizontally, the coupling cover can be loosely held at the horizontal rigidity by the latching element in position before the coupling is finally fastened. Fully tightened above the tube without the eccentric element. In this case, if a hard tube is accidentally struck or the like, it will touch the cover of a coupling member and further engage the latching element, for example, through a notch in the coupling cover, so it will help on the coupling member. 9 588146 发明, description of the invention immediately before the hard tube is rolled out of the coupling due to accidental knocking or the like. The support arm can be extended to the extent necessary to provide a suitable support surface for the rigid tube, such as having a greater length than the radius of the supported rigid tube. For a 49.6 5mm diameter rigid tube, the preferred length of the support arm is 55mm. The support arm further prevents a rigid tube from rolling out of the coupling. For example, although the support arm generally extends directly out of the body, the support arm can also be slightly inclined toward the opposite end of the body, so when the body is installed vertically, the support arm is tilted upward from the horizontal direction, and the support arm It is also possible to add or replace 10 including a stopper or lip to stop the movement of a rigid tube, and the support surface can be bent upward toward its free end, for example, it can complement the circumferential contour of a typical rigid tube. Preferably, the body has an arm extending outward from the end point and more can be provided therebetween, wherein at least one of the arms has a length suitable for providing the above-mentioned support 15 arms during use. The eccentric element can be mounted on one of the arms and the cover element can be mounted on the other arm. The eccentric element is preferably mounted on the support arm. In addition to the above-mentioned characteristics, a coupling member according to the present invention may include any other connecting member or the like to connect a rigid tube held by the coupling member to another rigid tube or other stent element. 〇 In a preferred form, the coupling system includes two or more coupling units, and each of the 7C series includes a fixture / cover arrangement according to the present invention. These units may be arranged side by side or opposite to each other. For example, a rigid tube covering and fixing device may be provided on either side of a single engaging body element. Two or more intersecting units may face in the same orientation or in a lateral arrangement such as 10 °, invention description presenting 90 degrees or other angles. The coupling unit may have a fixed orientation or be mounted to rotate relative to each other with a variable angle connection. The body element, covering and fixing device of a coupling unit may clamp more than one rigid tube between them, for example, they may be stacked or arranged side by side. 5 The coupling may be made of any suitable material and method, the body and cover are preferably made of steel (such as 43 or higher steel), the crankshaft and the latching element are also preferred, and they may be made of Made by casting or similar. The present invention can be implemented particularly well using a crank shaft, and in a second form, the present invention provides a bracket coupling, the bracket coupling includes 10 a base member, a cover member and a fixing device, fixed The device includes a latching element mounted on a crank shaft. It is preferable to mount the crankshaft on the base member at the end of the base member opposite to the cover member. It is more preferable that a support arm extends outward from the base member, and the arm is fully extended so that a stent tube can lean against the support arm Instead of locking the couplings on, the rigid tube system is installed in a horizontal position. The crankshaft is preferably mounted on a support arm. In another form, the present invention provides a stent coupling member including an integral element. The body element has a covering element pivoted toward one end point and a rotatable eccentric element installed toward the other end point. When used at 20 o'clock, it cooperates with a flash lock element to actuate the latch element and drive the cover element and the body element to merge to hold a stiff tube between them. In another form, the present invention provides a stent coupling, the stent coupling includes a base portion, a covering element pivotally connected to an end point, a rotatable eccentric element mounted to the other end point, and a mounting On the eccentric element 588146 玖, the latching element described in the invention, this configuration can make the base and the covering element can be installed around a bracket hard tube, wherein the interlocking element can engage the covering element, and the rotation of the eccentric element will cause the flashlock element The cover element is directed towards the base to clamp a stiff tube between them. 5 In another type of complaint, the present invention provides a stent coupling, the stent coupling includes-base,-cover element, a flash lock element and a rotatable eccentric element, the eccentric element is used for the interlock element The upper part is driven to drive the base part and the covering element to merge to clamp a bracket hard tube therebetween. The base part includes a 10 support arm on which the bracket hard tube can be leaned without locking the coupling member. In another form, the present invention provides a stent coupling, including a base element having an arm portion facing each end point; a covering element pivotally attached to one of the arm portions; a rotatable Type eccentric element, which is mounted to the other of the arms; 15 and a latch element, the rotation of the eccentric element, when in use, drives the interlocking element to drive the covering element and the base element to merge and clamp in between The stent hard tube, and the arms of 2 ° H, etc. have sufficient length so that when the stent hard tube is placed between the #parts and the _arm part is located below the hard tube, the arm is made The unit is capable of supporting the hard tube in position. The present invention can be extended to a stent system using a light-weight member according to any of the above characteristics, and to a method of constructing a stent by using a coupling member according to any of the characteristics described above.

[Poor application method] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a stent coupling includes a base or body element 2, a covering element 3, a flash lock or lock lever 4 and an eccentric shaft assembly 5, and these elements are further separated Shown in Figures 3 to 10. The coupling member 1 is located in the fully closed position in Figs. 1 and 2 and is clamped around a rigid tube 6 of a stent. The covering element 3 is pivoted on a u-shaped upright flange or arm 7 of the base element 2 by a rivet 8. The rivet 8 passes through the holes 9 and 10 of the base element 2 and the covering element 3, respectively, and the covering element 3 includes a latch therein. A pair of arms 11 are attached to the free end of the lock notch 12. The base member 2 and the cover member 3 receive the stent hard tube 6 therebetween, and have supporting portions 13 and 14 of appropriate shapes that can respectively engage the outer surface of the hard tube 6. By having the various elements with the appropriate shape and size, the coupling member can certainly hold rigid tubes with other cross sections (such as box sections), and / or two or more parts between the body member 2 and the cover member 3 Multiple rigid tubes are clamped together. The latch lever 4 has an eyelet portion 15 at its base end point, and the eccentric shaft assembly 5 extends through this eyelet portion 15. The latch lever 4 also has 588146 at its free end point, a T-shaped portion of the invention description 16. The cross piece of the T-shaped portion 16 defines a pair of wedge-shaped detents 17 which engage with the notches 12 on the cover arm 11 to hold the cover element 3 in place. The eccentric shaft assembly 5 series includes a crank shaft 18 (as clearly shown in Figure 9), the 5 crank shaft 18 series includes a central ϋ-shaped crank portion 19 and a pair of support portions 20, and the central U-shaped crank portion 19 is engaged The latch lever 4, and the support portion 20 mounts the shaft 18 in a U-shaped flange or opening 21 in the arm portion 22 of the base member 2. This assembly 5 also includes an end portion 23 which, in this case, is triangular to rotate the shaft 18 by a properly constructed socket wrench. The assembly 5 steps include a brake flange 24 to engage a brake portion 25 on the base member 2 'to prevent the shaft 18 from rotating excessively beyond its latched position. The central crank portion 19 has a curved inner surface 26 which is complementary to the curvature of the inner surface of the eyelet portion 15 of the latch lever 4 so that when the shaft 18 rotates toward the latch position and enters smoothly and surely内 内 表面 27。 Joining the inner surface 27. 15 In use, the eccentric shaft assembly 5 is rotated between an unlatched position and a latched position. In the unlocked position, as shown in FIG. I, the central crank portion 19 is in its upper position, and the latch lever 4 can be freely moved above the cover element 3; in the interlocked position, as described above! As shown in the figure, the central crank portion 19 is in its lower position, and the latch lever 4 thereof leads to the base member 2 and holds the cover / 20 member 3 tightly against the hard tube 6. FIG. 1 shows the latching position, in which the central crank portion 19 of the / shaft 18 is in the position shown in FIG. 9. In more detail, initially, the flash lock lever 4 is not attached to the cover member 3 and is freely suspended from the eccentric shaft 18. In order to fix the light fitting to a rigid tube 6, the body element 2 is placed adjacent to the rigid tube 6 and the cover 3 is pivotally disposed above the rigid tube 6. 15 588146 发明, description of the invention The shaft 18 is then rotated so that the central crank portion 19 faces the top of the flange 22, so the latch lever 4 can be freely pivoted between the cover arms and above, and can be used to lock the latch. The portion 17 fits into the cover recess 12. Then, for example, the shaft 18 is rotated with a wrench 5 engaged with a triangular end portion 23, so that the central crank portion 19 is turned to a lower position and engages the inner wall 27 of the eyelet portion 15 of the rod, and the rod 4 is guided to the base element 2. When the central portion 19 of the crank shaft 18 moves downward, the lever 4 is further driven downward, so it will cover. The element 3 is pulled down and the hard tube 6 is clamped and fixed. i The shaft 18 has a proper degree of rotation to stop it at the lower position or near the lower 10 position. The tension in the latch lever 4 is caused by the clamping effect of the hard tube, so that the eyelet portion 15 and the shaft 18 are pressed against each other. The eyelet portion 15 and the shaft 18 are automatically held in position to resist any loose movement. The brake flange 24 and the braking portion 25 ensure that the shaft 18 does not rotate excessively so that the center crank portion 19 does not start to rise again and thus releases the latch lever 4. In general, the crank shaft a needs to be sufficiently rotated so that the force acting on the latch lever 4 via the cover 3 does not pull the crank portion 19 back to its upper position. # It should be noted that the eyelet portion 15 of the latch lever 4 has a proper size, so when the central crank portion 19 of the shaft 18 is at its upper position, the inner surface 27 of the eyelet portion 15 will not abut the central crank portion. 19 while the barrier rod 4 engages the cover, 20 pieces of the notch 12. Its size can also be such that when the central crank portion 19 is located below, in the position or facing downward, the latch lever 4 can be driven downwards to clamp the hard tube 6 in place. The cover arm 11 has several notches 12 to provide tolerances for hard tube sizes and to accommodate different hard tube 6 sizes. Therefore, the standard steel stent hard pipe 16 588146 发明, invention description Although the diameter is about 45 mm, the size of the hard pipe may also change around this value. Therefore, for a larger rigid tube 6, the stalk 4 will further face the end of the cover arm 11 to engage the notch 12. In order to disconnect the light closing member 丨 the shaft 18 only needs to be rotated in the reverse direction to release the lock lever 4 and can be removed from the cover arm 11. The base element 2 of the facing member 1 may include an opening or the like for fastening to one or more other elements, such as a bolt to a wooden beam. The coupling member 1 may include other coupling means having a structure similar to that of the above-mentioned hard pipe coupling or having a different structure such as for holding a wooden board or the like. The coupling member 1 may include two or more coupling units, each of which is made of a base member, a cover member, and a fixing device of the aforementioned form. These units may be fixed relative to each other or may be looped to produce different rigid tube coupling orientations. 15 Figures 11 to 15 show two such couplings 1, and 1 ". In these figures, the couplings in Figures 11 to 13 are indicated by a single apostrophe (,) and the couplings in Figures 14 and 15 are marked with Double apostrophes (,,) indicate that the components corresponding to the couplings in Figures 丨 to ⑺ have the same number. And, these components are labeled "a," depending on whether they belong to the first or second light-weight unit. "B". 〇 Referring to FIGS. 11 to 13, the coupling element 1 includes two coupling element units 50 and 60. Each coupling element unit has elements similar to those of the first embodiment, but its base portions 2a ′ and 2b ′ are formed by A central rivet element 70 is coupled together, so that the two coupling element units 50 and 60 can be rotated relative to each other. This configuration allows the coupling member 1 to mount a pair of bracket rigid tubes 6 to each other at any relative angle. 17 588146 发明, description of the invention of the coupling member 1 of Figures 14 and 15 is similar to the coupling members of Figures 丨 to ^ 'but the coupling members 50 and 60 are connected by four separate rivet elements go' While keeping the units 50 and 60 at a 90-degree setting orientation, this configuration allows the coupling member 1 "to install a pair of bracket rigid pipes in a laterally fixed manner relative to each other. 5 These last two embodiments show the coupling members 1, 1, 1 "made of two separate coupling units 50, 60 riveted, but the coupling members can also be integrated, in which the two coupling units 50 and 60 It is installed on the opposite side of a common base 2 (for example, the cross shape of a lateral coupling member). The two-piece construction can provide greater flexibility and lower cost when manufactured than a one-piece construction. 10 Coupling 1,1,1 "can be made by a casting method, for example, grade 43 or higher steel. A coupling member according to this embodiment can be quickly and simply connected and removed, wherein only the cover element 3 needs to be pivoted around the hard tube 6 to the engagement effect of the positioning flash lock cup 4 and the half of the crank shaft 1 $ The rotation of the ring can save 15 labor costs, especially in the case of a large number of coupling parts that are usually required. And 'this coupling generally requires less maintenance than prior art couplings that use threaded bolted joints. This coupling may be for general use, such as for coupling steel or other metal stiff tubes together. 20 Figures 16 and 17 show another coupling similar to the previous coupling! ", But the difference is that the flange portion or arm 22 ,, has been extended in the length direction to provide a support surface 90, wherein the flange portion or arm 22 ,, is provided with an eccentric element 5 '' ', And when the coupling member 1 '"is installed vertically, a horizontal bracket rigid tube can lean on the support surface 90 (so the support arm 22," is located on the arm which can be installed with a cover 18 588146 玖, invention description element 3' " (7 ,, below). This feature will help the unsupported installation of the horizontal bracket rigid tube and allow the user to place the horizontal bracket rigid tube between a pair of coupling members in an unfastened manner. 'The user can then adjust the horizontal positioning of the rigid tube as needed before tightening the rigid tube in each of the 5 pieces. Previously, this procedure required two ^. It should also be noted that due to the ability to simply turn the eccentric element 5 ,, fasten the hard s on the M-piece, so it can ensure a faster overall installation effect, and shorten the length of time that the horizontal hard pipe remains unfastened. Figure 18 shows a light-closing unit 5〇 , ',, 6〇 ", and is coupled to 10 in Figure 16 Piece 1, "'presents the same structure of the two-piece light-weight piece iiv, a horizontal rigid = leaning on the support surface 90 of the support arm 22 ,, without the need to fasten the turn = unit 60, so A bracket is used to fix a coupling member to each of a pair of vertical bracket cores, and then the horizontal bracket column 6h is placed between the consumable members 1 ~ in an unfastened state. Once it is properly positioned,-the bracket can be turned 15-the eccentric element 5 of the first joint, "and then the other side assembly to hold the hard tube 6h in place. Although it is positioned at the horizontal hard tube 6 In the middle, a bracket can make the latching element 4 ,,, loosely engage the covering element 3 ", and the notch 12," in the middle, so that if the hard tube 6 moves, it will hit the covering element 3, and drive It engages the flash lock element 4, ", which 20 can help prevent the hard tube 6h from accidentally rolling out of the support surface 90. θ should be used to install the arm 7 of the cover element 3,", which can be provided separately The support arm, and the supporting surface 90 may include other characteristics for holding and positioning a rigid pipe. For example, the supporting surface 90 may be beveled to be mounted on the light fittings to hold a horizontal rigidity. When the tube is in the middle position, the supporting table 19 588146 玖 and the invention description surface 90 are inclined upward. Also, the outer end of the support surface 90 may be bent upward (e.g., following a curve of the circumference of a rigid tube), or may include certain other braking characteristics such as lip. The coupling units 50, ", 60," of the coupling member of Fig. 8 can be fixedly connected together with the rivet 80, for example, as in the embodiment of Fig. 5 to 14, or the embodiment of Fig. 12, for example. The single rivets 70 are rotationally connected together. It will be understood that various changes, additions and / or modifications may be made to the above elements without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, the crankshaft 18 may be replaced by some other mechanism for converting the rotary action into an appropriate 10 action of the latch lever 4. For example, a cam mechanism may be used, which 4 is eccentrically mounted on a shaft. .
