Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a device for attaching a ceiling panel to a side wall of a bathroom or other equipment unit.

As shown in Fig. 1, this type of conventional device has an upright connecting portion C protruding from the upper end B of the side wall A, and after the ceiling panel D is lowered into the side wall A, the mounting bracket E is attached. It is fixed to the ceiling panel D with rivets F, etc., the upright part E' of the metal fitting E is brought into contact with the protruding connection receiving part C, and both E' and C are screwed together with screws G. There is.

For this reason, as mentioned above, the rivet F must be installed vertically in a narrow corner space, and the screw G mentioned above must also be installed in a high and narrow corner space, and moreover, it cannot be operated by a driver from the side. As a result, the operator's hand may touch the ceiling panel D, making it difficult to screw the screws, or the operator may have to climb onto a footrest to work, making the operation difficult. However, the workability is extremely poor.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned difficulties, we proposed a method in which the joint between the side wall and the ceiling panel is inclined, and screws are installed diagonally upward (Utility Model Publication No. 52-47329). However, even if this method solves the problem of the one in Figure 1 above, it not only makes the appearance worse because the screws mentioned above are exposed in the bathroom etc. , being directly exposed to water, is likely to corrode, and there is also a risk of water infiltrating between the joint members, especially when the above-mentioned members are made of wood.
Durability will be significantly impaired.

The present invention attempts to solve the above-mentioned problems by appropriately configuring the respective connectors and connectors that are fixed in advance to the ceiling panel and side wall body, and this is accomplished by implementing the method shown in Fig. 2. To elaborate by example,
At the upper end portion 2 of the side wall body 1 which projects outwardly, a connecting receptacle 4 is fixed and erected on the outer surface thereof with screws 3 or the like.

Here, the connecting bracket 4 is formed into an L-shaped cross section by a horizontal part 5 whose lower end side contacts the lower surface of the upper end part 2 and a vertical part 6 which contacts the outer surface of the same part 2, and the upper end side is vertically shaped. It is formed by an inclined receiving part 7 which is bent inwardly from the facing part 6 at an angle of about 45 degrees.

On the other hand, a connector 9 pre-installed on the outer peripheral end of the ceiling panel 8 has a ceiling panel insertion groove 1 at its inner end.
0 is formed, and a horizontal top part 1 is formed outward from the end.
1 extends, and is further provided with an inclined portion 12 extending outwardly and downwardly from the same-end portion 11 at an angle of approximately 45°.

Then, by mounting the connecting tool 9 inserted into the ceiling panel 8 as described above from above the side wall 1, the inclined part 12 of the connecting member 9 is placed on the inclined receiving part 7 of the connecting member 4, At this time, the screw holes 13 and 14 provided in the inclined receiving part 7 and the inclined part 12 are aligned in advance, and in such a state, there is no operating gap between the side wall body 1 and the ceiling panel 8. 15 is formed.

Therefore, the set screw 16 is inserted through the operation gap 15 and screwed into the screw holes 13 and 14, and the set screw 16 located diagonally above is turned using a screwdriver or the like, so that the joint is established. In the illustrated example, after the tightening operation is completed, the operation gap 15 is closed by loading a packing 17.

The present invention, as embodied by the above embodiments,
At the upper end portion 2 of the side wall body 1, from the upper end of the vertical portion 6 fixed to the outside thereof, an inclined receiving portion 7 which is bent at approximately 45° toward the upper inner side of the side wall body 1 extends. A connecting bracket 4 is provided, and the ceiling panel 8 is bent outwardly downward at approximately 45 degrees from a horizontal ceiling part 11 whose inner end is connected to the outer peripheral end of the ceiling panel 8 and projects outward. Connector 9 with extended inclined portion 12
By placing the connector 9 on the connector 4 with this inclined portion 12 and the inclined receiver 7 in a joined state, the upper end 12 of the side wall body 1 and the inner end of the connector 9 are connected. An operation gap 15 is formed between the operation gap 15 and a locking screw 16 screwed diagonally upward from the operation gap 15 to tighten and fix the joint between the inclined part 12 and the inclined receiving part 7, Above operation gap 1
Since the panel 5 is configured to be closed by loading the seal 17, when installing the ceiling panel 8, the panel 8 can be attached only by screwing the locking screw 16. 15 and diagonally upward, the operator can perform the operation in a comfortable position even in narrow corners, and the installation work is efficient and easy. Of course, according to the present invention, after the locking screw 16 is screwed, the packing 17 is applied, so that the locking screw 16 can be
This is not only aesthetically desirable since the locking screw 16 is not visible to the eye, but also prevents the locking screw 16 from getting wet with water, thereby protecting it from corrosion.

By adopting a small size as the gasket 17 shown in the figure, the amount of protrusion from the corner portion of the ceiling panel 8 and side wall 1 can be reduced, and the feeling of narrowness in the room can be corrected.
