Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device mounting device mounted on a cabinet such as a switchboard or a rack.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional device mounting apparatus of this type is shown in FIG. This device mounting device includes a rail 10 and a nut member 11. The rail 10 includes left and right and front and rear surface portions 10a, 10b, 10c, and 10d, and a vertical opening portion is formed in a central portion of the front surface portion 10c. 12 are formed.

The nut member 11 is U-shaped in plan view, and a screw hole 13 is formed in the nut member 11. The nut member 11 is inserted into the rail 1 and can freely move up and down in the rail 10.

Then, by inserting a screw into the mounting hole of the device, inserting the screw into the rail 10, screwing the screw into the screw hole 13 of the nut member 11, and screwing in the screw.
The front portion 10c of the rail 10 is sandwiched between the nut member 11 and the device, and the device is fixed to the rail 10.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional device mounting apparatus, the nut member 11 can be inserted only from the end portion of the rail 10 because the nut member 11 has a planar U-shape. However, it is difficult to add a nut member, and the nut member 11 can freely move in the rail 10, but it is difficult to position the nut member 11.

The present invention solves such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to allow a plurality of plate nuts to be additionally inserted into a rail, and the plate nuts to be inserted into the rail. An object of the present invention is to provide a device mounting device that can be held at an arbitrary position inside the device, facilitates the device mounting work on the rail, and improves the work efficiency.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a magnet nut on an inner surface portion of a rail having an opening at a front surface thereof along a longitudinal direction of the rail. The nut member for holding the front portion of the rail together with the device is formed into a plate-like body having a thickness that passes through the opening by being tightened with screws.

[0008]

With this configuration, a plurality of nut members can be additionally inserted into the rail from the front surface thereof, and the nut members can be held at any position in the rail, so that the device for the rail can be installed. This has the effect of facilitating mounting work and improving work efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus mounting device according to the present invention in an exploded state, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of the apparatus mounting apparatus.

In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a rail, which is provided with left and right and front and rear surface portions 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, and an opening portion 2 is formed in the longitudinal direction in the central portion of the front surface portion 1c. . A belt-shaped magnet 3 is fixed to the inner surface of the rear surface 1d.

Reference numeral 4 is a rectangular nut member, and a screw hole 5 is formed in this nut member 4. The nut member 4 is a plate-shaped body having a thickness that passes through the opening 2. The nut member 4 is inserted in the rail 1 and is attracted and held by the magnet 3. That is, the nut member 4 is held at an arbitrary position by the magnet 3 and can be easily moved in the directions of arrows A and A '.

Reference numeral 6 in the drawing denotes a device. A screw 8 is inserted into a mounting hole 7 of the device 6, and the screw 8 is inserted into the rail 1 from the opening 2 to be screwed into the screw hole 5 of the nut member 4. By screwing and screwing in the screw 8, the nut member 4 separates from the magnet 3 and comes into pressure contact with the inner surface of the front surface portion 1c of the rail 1, and the front surface portion 1c is sandwiched between the nut member 4 and the device 6. Then, the device 6 is fixed to the rail 1.

At the time of mounting as described above, the nut member 4 is held at an arbitrary position by the magnet 3.
Moreover, since it can be easily moved in the directions of the arrows A and A ′, when there are a plurality of nut members 4, the pitch of the nut members 4 can be varied and can be adjusted to the mounting pitch of the device 6. Further, since the nut member 4 is a plate-shaped body having a thickness that passes through the opening 2, it can be inserted into the rail 1 through the opening 2 and the nut member 4 can be additionally inserted. Therefore, the workability can be improved.

[0014]

As is apparent from the above-described embodiment, the present invention allows a plurality of nut members to be additionally inserted into the rail from the front surface thereof and holds the nut members at arbitrary positions in the rail. Therefore, there is an effect that the work of mounting the device on the rail is facilitated and the work efficiency is improved.
