Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a mounting device for electrical equipment such as a wireless remote control for an air conditioner.

(Existence) Conventional technology In general, wireless remote controllers for air conditioners were first introduced in 1986.
As shown in Publication No. 0-82142, the operation of this air conditioner is controlled by holding it in the hand, and on the other hand, when the air conditioner is not in use, this wireless remote control is attached to the indoor wall. I try to hang it on the holder (mounting tool). Here, this holder is fixed to the indoor wall surface with screws.

In recent years, an increasing number of houses have interior walls made of gypsum board, etc., and when interior walls are made of gypsum board, screws cannot be fixed to the interior walls because they are brittle. If so, proceed as follows. In other words, during the construction of a new house, a switch box (JIS
C8336-1985) is fixed to studs, etc., and an opening is provided in the plasterboard that forms the interior wall through which the switch box can be seen. Nail it against a pillar, fill this opening with a holder, and fix the holder to the switch box with screws. By doing so, the holder can be attached to the indoor wall even if the indoor wall is not made of plasterboard.

C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention Here, during the construction of a new house, an electrical equipment contractor who performs electrical wiring first fixes a switch box to studs, etc., then performs interior interior work, and finally, Generally, the holder is fixed to the switch box by the person in charge of installation at the electronics store that sold the home appliance. Therefore, the holder may not arrive when the electrical equipment contractor is working, and the electrical equipment contractor cannot check the shape of the holder (especially how much the mounting part protrudes from the back of the holder). The switch box was fixed to the studs by anticipating the protrusion of the holder's mounting part. For this reason, if this switch box is attached to the back of the stud, when the holder is placed against the indoor wall surface, the gap between this holder and the switch box will become large, making it impossible to secure the holder to the switch box. Also, in this case, it is possible to attach this holder to the switch box using a long screw under the neck, but if the screw is tightened too much, the attachment part of the holder itself may be deformed, or the attachment part may be damaged by the elastic force of the holder. It is conceivable that as the holder approaches the indoor wall side, the entire holder deforms into a substantially U-shape with respect to the indoor wall, making it impossible to attach the wireless remote control to this holder.

An object of the present invention is to accurately attach a holder to a switch box even if the switch box is fixed to the back of a stud (to the back of an indoor wall surface).

(d) Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a holder in which electrical equipment is held with a mounting portion for attaching it to an indoor wall, and the mounting portion has a direction in which it is attached. It is equipped with a movable member that moves.

(*) Depending on the distance between the switch box embedded in the wall of the action chamber and the holder attached to this box, adjust the protrusion dimension of the movable member of the holder's attachment part to attach the switch box to the switch box. It was designed to apply to

(F) Embodiment In FIG. 4, 1 is an indoor room of a house, a lighting fixture 3 is mounted on the ceiling 2, and an indoor unit 5 of a separate air conditioner (hereinafter referred to as 1 air conditioner) is mounted on the left indoor wall 4. ) are attached to each. 6 is a door, 7 is a handle of this door, and a switch 9 of a lighting device and a holder 10 are attached to a front indoor wall surface 8 near the handle. 11 is a wireless remote control (hereinafter referred to as “
It's called a remote control. ), this remote control 11 is in holder 1
It can be detachably attached to 0. And remote control 11
When not in use, the remote controller 11 is attached to the holder 10, and the remote controller 11 is lined up with the switch 9 of the lighting fixture 3 to clearly identify its location. Also, this remote control 1
When the switch 1 is removed, the switch 9 and the holder 10 are arranged side by side to prevent the appearance from becoming bad.

FIG. 5 shows the state in which this holder 10 is attached, and 12 is an object to be attached (hereinafter referred to as 1 switch box). This switch box 12 is used when constructing or renovating a house.
Before pasting the wall member 13 using plasterboard, the outer piece 14 of the switch box 12 is attached to the stud 15 or the like in advance. Therefore, this switch box 12 is embedded and fixed in the indoor wall 8. An insertion hole 16 for a lead wire (not shown) is formed in the upper plate of the switch box 12. Also this switch box 1
2 and the dimension between the screw holes 18 of the mounting piece 17 are J.
Determined by IS C8336-1985,
For example, the dimension A between the screw holes 18 is (83,5±0.4)I
f! If. Reference numeral 19 denotes a mounting hole corresponding to the opening 20 of the switch box 12, and the mounting piece 17 of the switch box 12 protrudes from the upper and lower sides of the mounting hole 17.

Reference numeral 21 denotes mounting holes formed in this holder 10, and the dimension B between the mounting holes 21 is made to match the dimension A between the screw holes 18 of the mounting piece 17 of the Sui Notibo Nx 12 described above. A moving member 22 is screwed into this mounting hole 21 as shown in FIGS. 22 can be made to protrude toward the rear of the mounting hole 21 (that is, in the mounting direction). The mounting hole 21 and the moving member 22 constitute a mounting portion 23 .

Therefore, when directly attaching such a holder 10 to a wooden indoor wall 24, the screw 25 is inserted into the movable member 22 with the movable member 22 housed in the mounting hole 21 as shown in FIG. This screw 25 is fixed to the indoor wall 24 through the hole 26 of the moving member 22. At this time, since the movable member 22 does not protrude from the back surface 27 of the holder 10, the back surface 27 of the holder 10 can be fixed in close contact with the indoor wall 24. Then, the groove 29 of the remote control 11 is fitted into the protrusion 28 on the side surface of the holder 10 (see solid line arrow).
By moving this remote control 11, this remote control 11 is fixed to the holder 10.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the outer piece 14 of the switch box is attached to the stud 15 with a shift in the front and back, thereby creating a gap between the indoor wall surface 8 and the mounting piece 17 of the switch box 12. When C and D occur, the moving member 22 is made to protrude rearward (in the mounting direction) from the mounting hole 21 of the holder 10 by the gap dimensions C and D. Then, place the moving member 22 against the mounting piece 17 of the switch box 12, and attach the holder 10 to the switch box 1 with the screw 25.
Fixed at 2. In this way, the moving member 22 of the holder 10
Since the switch box 12 is placed in contact with the mounting piece 17 of the switch box 12, the screws 25 securely fix the two together.

(G) Effects of the Invention As described above, in the present invention, since the mounting portion of the holder is provided with a movable member that moves in the mounting direction, the mounting portion of the holder can be moved in accordance with the position of the object to be mounted embedded in the indoor wall. By adjusting the length of the holder, the holder can be reliably fixed to the object to be attached. In addition, since the attachment part of this holder always touches the object to be attached, there is no risk of deformation of this holder even if the screws are tightened a little, and electrical devices such as remote controls can be accurately fixed to this holder. can.
