BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a technique for connecting a ceiling and a member below the ceiling arranged below the ceiling.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a partition wall which is a member below the ceiling is formed below the ceiling, in addition to the ceiling base rail, a portion corresponding to the upper end of the partition wall is provided separately from the ceiling base rail as a ceiling base. In particular, a lower support bar for the partition is specially constructed to form a ceiling base for the partition, and the upper end portion of the partition wall is connected to the base for the partition.

[0003] In addition, when a lighting fixture, which is a member below the ceiling, is mounted on the ceiling, a lighting fixture dedicated to the lighting fixture is formed separately from the ceiling base rail as a ceiling base to form a lighting fixture base. Lighting fixtures were connected to the base material for installation.

[0004] As described above, conventionally, separately from the ceiling base bar, a partition support base bar is provided on the ceiling to form a partition ceiling base, or separately from the ceiling base bar. It is necessary to construct a base for lighting fixtures on the ceiling to form a ceiling base for lighting fixtures.
There was a problem that construction took time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

The connecting member 3 is formed by bending a metal plate, and has a downwardly grooved ceiling base bar fitting portion 2 at each end of a flat connecting portion 1.
Here, the connecting part 1 is an outer piece 2 of the ceiling base beam fitting part 2.
It is located lower than the lower end of a. Further, a fixing tool insertion hole 9 is formed in the outer piece 2a of the ceiling base beam fitting portion 2.

FIG. 1 shows an example in which the lower ceiling member 6 is a partition wall 7, and FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the connecting member 3 for connecting the partition wall 7 to the ceiling 5. The horizontal length of the flat connecting portion 1 of the connecting member 3 is determined by the thickness of the partition wall 7 to be mounted or the ceiling base beam 4 parallel to the space where the partition wall 7 is to be mounted.
A plurality of types are provided in accordance with the interval length between them.

In order to connect the upper end of the partition wall 7 which is the ceiling lower member 6 to the ceiling 5 using the connecting member 3, the ceiling base bar fitting portions 2 on both sides of the connecting member 3 are connected as shown in FIG. The fittings such as nails, wood screws, etc. are inserted from the fixing fixture insertion holes 9 provided in the outer piece 2a into the ceiling base rails 4 which are parallel and spaced apart from each other above the part where the partition wall 7 is mounted. The connection member 3 is attached to the ceiling base rail 4 by being fixed to the base rail 4. Then, the upper runner member 7 a of the partition wall 7 is fixed to the connecting portion 1 of the connecting member 3 by the fixing tool 10. Further, although not shown, a lower runner member (not shown) of the partition wall 7 is provided.
Is fixed to the floor, and face plates 7b constituting the surface material of the partition wall 7 are attached to both surfaces of the upper runner member 7a and the lower runner member, respectively. Here, the upper and lower runner members may be framed in advance in a rectangular shape together with the vertical frame. In this way, the partition wall 7 as the lower ceiling member 6 is connected to the ceiling base rail 4 of the ceiling 5 via the connection member 3. A ceiling plate 5a constituting the ceiling surface of the ceiling 5
Is fixedly attached to the lower surface of the ceiling base bar 4.

By the way, since the connecting portion 1 is located below the lower end portion of the ceiling base beam fitting portion 2, the beam 11 exists above the portion connecting the partition wall 7 as shown in FIG. In this case, the ceiling base beam fitting portion 2 can be fitted into the ceiling base beam 4 located on both sides of the beam 11 and the connecting portion 1 can be positioned below the beam 11. Even at the portion, the upper end of the partition wall 7 can be connected using the connecting member 3.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 4 shows an example in which the lower ceiling member 6 is a lighting fixture 8, and FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the connection member 3 for connecting the lighting fixture 8 to the ceiling 5. In the present embodiment, a reinforcing backing plate 12 is attached to the upper surface of the connecting portion 1 having a flat shape. A plywood, for example, is used as the reinforcing backing plate 12 and is reinforced so that the connecting portion 1 does not bend when a load is applied.

As shown in FIG. 4, the connecting member 3 having the above-described structure is configured such that the ceiling base beam fitting portions 2 on both sides of the connecting member 3 are parallel to each other at intervals above the portions where the lighting fixtures 8 are mounted. 4 are respectively fitted from above, and a fixing tool such as a nail or a wood screw is inserted from a fixing tool insertion hole 9 provided in the outer piece 2a and fixed to the ceiling base beam 4,
The connection member 3 is attached to the ceiling base bar 4. In this case, the plate-shaped connecting portion 1 of the connection member 3 is brought into contact with the upper surface of the ceiling plate 5a attached to the lower surface of the ceiling base bar 4. In this state, the mounting portion 8a of the lighting fixture 8 is applied to the lower surface side of the ceiling plate 5a, and the mounting portion 8a of the lighting fixture 8 is lined with the fixing member 10 such as a screw through the ceiling plate 5a. Board 1
2 is attached by connecting it to the connecting portion 1 to which it is attached. In this case, the load of the lighting fixture 8 is applied to the connecting portion 1, but the connecting portion 1 is not bent by the backing plate 12 for reinforcement, and therefore, the ceiling plate 5 a on the lower surface side of the connecting portion 1 is also bent. Therefore, the lighting fixture 8 is securely attached to the ceiling base bar 4 of the ceiling 5 via the connection member 3.

[0016]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a connecting member is provided by providing a downwardly grooved ceiling base bar fitting portion on both sides of the connecting portion.
The ceiling base rail fitting portions on both sides of the connecting member are fitted into the parallel ceiling base rail at an interval, and the upper end of the ceiling lower member disposed below the ceiling is connected to the connecting portion of the connecting member. The connection member can be easily attached by fitting the ceiling base rail fitting portion of the ceiling base rail into the parallel ceiling base rail, and the ceiling disposed below the ceiling at the connection part of the connection member that can be easily mounted in this way. It is only necessary to connect the upper end of the lower member, and there is no need to construct a special foundation bar for attaching the lower member to the ceiling as in the past, and the connection of the lower member to the ceiling with a simple connection structure It can be done easily and in a short time.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, since the lower ceiling member is a partition wall, the upper end of the partition wall can be connected to the ceiling via a connecting member. The partition wall can be easily connected to the ceiling with a simple connection structure in a short time.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the ceiling lower member is a lighting fixture.
The lighting fixture can be connected to the ceiling via the connection member, and the lighting fixture can be easily and quickly connected to the ceiling with a simple connection structure.
