Description of the Related Art Generally, an air conditioner installed on a ceiling in a room such as an office generally includes a box-shaped air conditioner body (hereinafter simply referred to as a body) having a fan and a heat exchanger, a decorative panel, and a suction panel. It is equipped with a grill.

For example, a hole slightly larger than the main body (hereinafter referred to as a ceiling hole) is made in the ceiling surface, and the main body is fixed to the space above the ceiling so as to fit into the ceiling hole. At this time, the lower surface of the main body is fixed so that the height of the lower surface of the main body coincides with that of the ceiling hole so that the lower surface of the main body is exposed toward the room. Next, a decorative panel is attached to the lower surface of the main body. The decorative panel formed one size larger than the ceiling hole is bolted to the lower surface of the main body by fixing bolts arranged at the four corners. Thereby, the lower surface of the main body and the ceiling hole are completely covered. Finally, the openable and closable suction grill is attached to the decorative panel to complete the installation of the air conditioner.

を穿設しておく。[0004] The above-mentioned bolting of the decorative panel is performed after temporarily fixing and positioning. The lower surface of the main body is formed in a rectangular shape, and two temporary fixing bolts are screwed in advance, one each at substantially the center of one side and substantially at the center of the other side opposite to this one side. . On the other hand, on the decorative panel side, so-called daruma holes, in which the temporary fixing bolts can be respectively engaged and disengaged, are formed at two places corresponding to the respective temporary fixing bolts.
【0005】ここで、だるま孔とは、仮止め用ボルトの

ねてだるま形にしたものをいうものとする。[0005] Here, the daruma hole refers to a daruma shape in which a part of a large-diameter hole through which the head of the temporary fixing bolt can pass and a part of a small-diameter hole which cannot pass through are overlapped.

する。For temporary fixing, first, the decorative panel is lifted while being held horizontally, and the two large-diameter holes of the two Daruma holes on the decorative panel side are fitted into the heads of the two temporary fixing bolts on the main body side. To make the decorative panel adhere to the lower surface of the main body. Thereby, the heads of the two temporary fixing bolts pass through the large-diameter hole. Then, in this state, the decorative panel is slightly shifted horizontally, and the small-diameter hole is hooked on the head of the temporary fixing bolt. Thereby, since the weight of the decorative panel is supported by the two temporary fixing bolts, the next positioning is facilitated. After the temporary fixing, the position of the decorative panel is finely adjusted in the horizontal direction to position the decorative panel with respect to the main body. Then, after the positioning, the four parts of the decorative panel are bolted with fixing bolts and fixed to the lower surface of the main body, and the mounting of the decorative panel is completed.

行わなければならないという問題があった。However, according to the above-described temporary fixing in which the temporary fixing bolts and the daruma holes are combined, first, while supporting the weight of the decorative panel, two dramas are provided on the decorative panel side. There is a problem in that a complicated operation of fitting the holes into the heads of the two temporary fixing bolts on the main body side almost simultaneously must be performed.

At the time of stopping, it enters the temporary fixing hole 39 from below (from the direction of the arrow K), rubs against the peripheral edge portion 51 and retreats, and is disposed at the retreat position M2 shown by a dotted line in FIG. It is configured. When the lock member 43 further enters the temporary fixing hole 39 from below, and the upper end side of the lock member 43 projects above the temporary fixing hole 39 by a predetermined amount H, the distal end portion 49 of the engaging piece 45 becomes Temporary fixing hole 3
9 is disengaged from the peripheral portion 51, and the engagement position M
It returns to 1. By this return, the distal end portion 47 of the engagement piece 45 is engaged with the temporary fixing member 35. Similarly, an engagement piece (not shown) of the other lock member 41 engages with the temporary fixing member 33, and thereby the decorative panel 5 as a whole is
It is temporarily fixed to the lower surface 31 of the main body 3.

In order to release the temporary fixing of the decorative panel 5 to the main body 3, for example, the engaging piece 45 is retracted by the retreat M2 by hand and the decorative panel 5 is lowered to easily pull out. It becomes possible. The decorative panel 5 temporarily fixed to the lower surface 31 of the main body 3 finely adjusts the position in the horizontal direction, and performs positioning with respect to the main body 3.
It is fixed to the main body 3 by bolting the four corners.

Then, the lock members 41 and 43 on the decorative panel 5 side are inserted from below. At this time, the engaging piece 45 and the like slide on the peripheral edge portion 51 of the temporary fixing hole 39 and retreat to the retreat position M2, so that the lock members 41 and 43 do not hinder the approach. When the lock member 43 and the like enter the predetermined amount H or more, the engagement pieces 45 and the like return to the engagement positions, and the lock members 41 and 43 are engaged with the temporary fixing members 33 and 35. Thereby, the temporary fixing of the decorative panel 5 is completed.

できる。As described above, since the temporary fixing operation can be performed by only one movement of supporting and lifting the decorative panel 5, the workability is excellent. Also, the lock member 41,
Due to the structure of 43 and the temporary fixing members 33 and 35 to be engaged with, it is not always necessary to simultaneously engage the two lock members 41 and 43. Therefore, in a state where the decorative panel 5 is slightly inclined, Even if there is a time difference between the engagement of the two lock members 41 and 43, such as the engagement of one lock member and the engagement of the next other lock member, it is possible to perform the temporary fixing well. It is. This also greatly improves workability (compared to the prior art). Further, after the engagement of the lock members 41 and 43, the decorative panel 5
Even if the decorative panel 5 is moved horizontally in order to perform positioning for fixing the body 3, the lock members 41, 4
3 is not released, and therefore, the decorative panel 5 does not drop unexpectedly. In addition, that the lock members 41 and 43 are formed of synthetic resin,
Because of the overall configuration of the lock members 41 and 43 and the temporary fixing members 33 and 35, the degree of freedom in moving the decorative panel 5 with respect to the main body 3 after the temporary fixing can be increased. The workability of positioning prior to the fixing of the member is improved. Lastly, the lock members 41 and 44 once engaged with the temporary fixing members 33 and 35 are disengaged unless an aggressive disengagement operation of retracting the engagement pieces 45 and the like to the retreat position M2 is performed. However, if this simple releasing operation is positively performed, the engagement can be released very easily, and the temporary fixing state of the decorative panel 5 to the main body 3 can be released.
