Abstract

A transport jig includes: a frame member; and a support section that is installed on the frame member and that supports a plurality of elongated members. The elongated members are each entirely housed inside the frame member in a lengthwise direction and the support section supports the plurality of elongated members in parallel with one another in one direction.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A transport jig comprising:
a frame member; and
a support section that is installed on the frame member, and that supports a plurality of elongated members, wherein
the elongated members are each entirely housed inside the frame member in a lengthwise direction,
the support section supports all the elongated members in parallel with one another in a first orthogonal direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the frame member, and supports all the elongated members such that a stack of the elongated members in a second orthogonal direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and the first orthogonal direction consists of a single layer, and
the frame member is configured to change an installation direction thereof with respect to a horizontal plane so as to have a plurality of different installation directions.

2. The transport jig according to claim 1 , wherein the support section is formed according to a shape of the elongated members to be housed, and is attachable/detachable with respect to the frame member.

3. The transport jig according to claim 1 , wherein the frame member is placed in:
a state where the frame member is installed in a first direction allowing surfaces of the elongated members on which a sealant is to be applied or on which machining is to be performed to face upward,
a state where the frame member is installed in a second direction different from the first direction, the second direction allowing the elongated members housed in the frame member to be removed to outside the frame member, and
the first direction and the second direction are changed by changing an orientation of the frame member.

4. The transport jig according to claim 3 , wherein a jack provided at the frame member is configured to be driven to change between the first direction and the second direction.

5. The transport jig according to claim 1 , further comprising a wheel that is installed on the frame member.

6. The transport jig according to claim 1 , wherein the support section supports the elongated members regardless of a direction among the plurality of different installation directions in which the frame member is installed.

7. A transport jig comprising:
a frame member; and
a support section that is installed on the frame member, and that supports a plurality of elongated members, wherein
the elongated members are each entirely housed inside the frame member in a lengthwise direction,
the support section supports the plurality of elongated members in parallel with one another in one direction,
the frame member is configured to change an installation direction thereof with respect to a horizontal plane so as to have a plurality of different installation directions,
the support section has an arc shape so as to place the elongated members having an arc shape on the support section,
the support section is disposed protruding upward in a direction vertical to the horizontal plane in a state where the frame member is installed in the first direction, and
the support section is disposed protruding upward in a direction parallel to the horizontal plane in a state where the frame member is installed in the second direction.
