DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air conditioner installation apparatus for suspending an air conditioner in a ceiling.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a prior art of this type of air conditioner installation apparatus, there is one proposed by the present applicant as Japanese Patent Application No. 3-76305.

[0003] This installation device for an air conditioner indicates the position of an air conditioner, a suspender for suspending the air conditioner in a ceiling, and a connection portion of a pipe connected to the air conditioner. And a fixture for temporarily fixing the connecting portion.

[0004] These air conditioners, suspenders and fixtures are usually carried in a packing material such as a cardboard box.

[0005]

The fixing device of the air conditioner described above has a disadvantage that the fixing device itself is expensive because the fixing device is made of synthetic resin.

[0006] In addition, since this fixture becomes unnecessary when piping is connected to the air conditioner, it is not used unless it is used for installation of another air conditioner, and the packing material for housing the air conditioner is also used. After being used to transport the air conditioner body, it is not used because it has no use.

[0007] The present invention provides an air conditioner installation apparatus which can form a portion indicating the position of a connection portion of a pipe connected to an air conditioner body at a low cost, and which can effectively use discarded packing material. Is what you do.

[0008]

Reference symbol a denotes a connection between the pipes 14 and 15, and flare nuts 19 and 20 are attached to the connection.

Numeral 40 designates a packing material for packing the hanging tools 1, 7, 8 which is a cardboard box 41 and packing pads 42.
It is composed of

The packing pad 42 includes a foamed polystyrene 43 for cushioning and a cardboard 44 for stopping the polystyrene.
It is composed of

The Styrofoam 43 is attached to the bent portion 45 of the cardboard 44.

A notch 46 indicates a drain connection port formed on the upper side of the cardboard 44, and 47 and 48 indicate pipes 14 and 1 respectively.
5, through-holes indicating the positions of the connection portions [display portion], 49, 50
Is a through hole [indicator] indicating the position of the end of the hot water pipe [not shown], and 51 is a pipe work such as which pipes 14, 15 and which through holes 47, 48, 49, 50 the hot water pipe corresponds to. Is a printed surface (display section) on which a simple note is printed.

Reference numeral 52 denotes a perforation provided in the bent portion of the cardboard 44, and the bent portion 45 is easily cut out along the perforation.

Reference numeral 53 denotes a mounting portion formed by a groove on the lower side of the cardboard 44, into which the hanging members 7, 8 are inserted.

The hanging members 7,
When the cardboard 8 is inserted, the cardboard 44 is attached to the hanging members 7, 8, and the connecting portions 14a, 1 of the pipes 14, 15 are connected by the through holes 47, 48, 49, 50 and the notes on the printing surface 51.
