SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a ceiling stopper which is inexpensive and can be operated with one hand. A first gist is a ceiling stop for connecting a ceiling panel to an upper end of a wall panel, wherein the ceiling stop includes a clip portion to be engaged with a frame on the back side of an upper end of the wall panel, and a ceiling stop. The stand panel is connected to the main body plate to which the ceiling panel is connected.
A second point is that the clip portion of the ceiling stopper is
It is configured to be inserted from a slit opened in the lateral direction on the back side of the frame, rotated in the frame, and abutted against the inner wall surface of the frame at a position where the main body plate portion is in an upright state, so that rotation is restricted. In addition, the screw is not rotatable in the rotation direction of the screw screwed to the main body plate portion, but is rotatable only in the opposite direction. Also, the third point is,
The clip part of the ceiling stopper is formed integrally by bending a part of a sheet metal constituting the main body plate part. A fourth gist of the present invention is that the clip portion of the ceiling stopper is provided with a fall-preventing piece for preventing the ceiling stopper from falling down in the state of being engaged in the frame.

[0004]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective configuration diagram of a ceiling stopper. The ceiling stopper 1 has a plate-shaped main body plate portion 2 having a prepared hole 2a to which a tapping screw 58 is tightened while cutting a screw.
An outward piece 3 formed by bending 90 ° outward at the upper end of the main body plate portion 2 and a bent piece 4 bent 90 ° from one lateral edge of a lower portion of the main body plate portion 2 in the width direction; This bent piece 4
A shaft piece 5 having a narrow vertical dimension formed continuously on the tip side of the shaft;
An engaging piece 7 formed on the distal end side of the shaft piece 5 and having a larger vertical dimension than the axial piece 5, and 9 on the distal end side of the engaging piece 7.
The ceiling stopper 1 is formed of a fall prevention piece 8 which is bent by 0 ° and is substantially parallel to the main body plate portion 2. One sheet metal is bent by a press or the like to be integrally formed. The clip 6 is constituted by the engagement piece 7 and the fall prevention piece 8.
The width of the fall prevention piece 8 is set to be smaller than the vertical dimension of the slit 53a of the slit frame 53 fixed to the upper end on the back side of the wall panel 51, and the vertical dimension of the engagement piece 7 is The vertical dimension of the shaft piece 5 is set slightly smaller than the vertical dimension of the slit 53a, and the vertical dimension of the shaft piece 5 is set slightly smaller than the vertical dimension of the inner wall of the slit frame 53. The lower end of the tip side edge of the fall prevention piece 8 has a large round shape.
The upper end of the tip side edge of the fall prevention piece 8 is formed as a right-angled right-angled portion 8b.

[0005] The ceiling stopper 1 formed in such a shape
As shown in FIG. 2, a state in which the fall prevention piece 8 is oriented downward, the main body plate 2 is oriented horizontally, and the bent piece 4, the shaft piece 5, and the engagement piece 7 are horizontal (see FIG. 1). (In a state of being tilted by 90 ° from the state), and is inserted into the slit 53a of the slit frame 53 from the back side. After the insertion, the main body plate 2 is rotated so as to be in an upright state as shown in FIG. (Turn by 90 ° to return to the state of FIG. 1). In this case, the rotation can be performed only in one direction, and even if the rotation is performed in the other direction, the right angle portion 8b abuts on the inner wall surface of the slit frame 53, and the rotation is restricted. That is, the round part 8
It can be rotated only in the counterclockwise direction via a. A tapping screw 58 is screwed into the lower hole 2a of the main body plate portion 2. The right angle portion 8b is formed so that the ceiling stopper 1 cannot be rotated in the rotation direction of the tapping screw 58. The direction of rotation through the round portion 8 a is set to be opposite to the direction of rotation of the tapping screw 58.

[0006] Accordingly, the ceiling stopper 1 is provided through the round portion 8a.
When the main body plate portion 2 is turned upright in the slit frame 53, as shown in FIG. 3, the shaft piece 5 is fitted into the slit 53a, and the upper end and the lower end of the engaging piece 7 are in the slit frame. The upper and lower ends of the fall prevention piece 8 are also substantially in contact with the inside of the slit frame 53, and the right-angled portions 8b bite into the inner wall surface to restrict the rotation. The clip portion 6 is locked in the slit frame 53 with the plate portion 2 standing upright.

In the state where the ceiling stopper 1 is engaged and fixed by rotating it in the slit frame 53 in this manner, the fall prevention piece 8 reliably prevents the main body plate portion 2 from falling to the back side and is firmly secured. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the ceiling panel 5 is attached to the upper end of the wall panel 51.
6 is arranged horizontally, the edge 56a of the ceiling panel 56 is brought into contact with the main body plate portion 2 of the ceiling stopper 1, and the washer 57 is interposed between the tapping screw 58 and the lower hole 2 of the main body plate portion 2.
The screw is screwed into a, and the edge 56a of the ceiling panel 56 is sandwiched between the washer 57 and the main body plate portion 2, so that the ceiling panel 56 can be connected well.

As described above, in this embodiment, the ceiling stopper 1 in which the main body plate portion 2 and the clip portion 6 are integrated can be rotated and fixed to the slit frame 53 with one hand. As compared with the case where the metal fitting 54 and the fixing clip 55 are used, the number of parts is small, the cost is reduced,
Work can be easily performed with one hand.

[0009]

According to the present invention, there is provided a ceiling stopper for connecting a ceiling panel to an upper end of a wall panel, wherein the ceiling stopper has a clip portion which is engaged with a frame on the back side of the upper end of the wall panel. By being integrated with the main body plate portion that rises from the frame and is connected to the ceiling panel,
The ceiling panel can be connected only with a one-piece ceiling stopper without using a separate bracket and fixing clip as in the conventional case, and the number of parts can be reduced as compared with the conventional case, and the cost can be reduced. Having.

The clip portion of the ceiling stopper is inserted through a slit opened in the lateral direction on the back side of the frame and is rotated in the frame. The wall is configured such that rotation is restricted by contacting the wall surface, and furthermore, it is configured to be rotatable only in the opposite direction without rotating in the rotation direction of the screw screwed into the main body plate portion, The ceiling fastener can be fixed to the frame by inserting it into the slit of the panel frame and turning it with one hand.Because it does not turn in the direction of rotation of the screw screwed to the main body plate, The ceiling stopper does not come off from the frame even when tightening, and the ceiling stopper is firmly fixed.

In addition, since the clip portion of the ceiling stopper is formed integrally by bending a part of a sheet metal constituting the main body plate portion, the ceiling stopper is manufactured at a reduced cost by a press or the like. Can be done.

[0012] In the clip portion of the ceiling stopper,
When the ceiling stop is fixed to the frame, the fall prevention piece is located on the back side of the main body plate portion by forming the fall prevention piece for preventing the ceiling stop from falling down to the back side in the state of being engaged in the frame. Therefore, it is possible to ensure the mounting strength of the ceiling fastener.
