The reference numeral 19a is fitted in a fitting recess 4 provided in the connecting tool 3 described later, and the hanging parts 14b, 19b are configured so that they can be fitted in the holes 16 provided in the fitting recess 4.

Further, frame portions 15 and 20 are formed at upper and lower positions (a total of four places) at both front and rear ends of the left side member 10 and the right side member 11.

As shown in FIG. 2, the frame portions 15 and 20 are formed by bending the wire rods constituting the left side surface member 10 and the right side surface member 11 into a rectangular shape.

The upper lateral portion 15 which constitutes each of the frame portions 15 and 20.
a and 20a are horizontal portions 14a related to the hook-shaped portions 14 and 19 described above,
The lower lateral portions 15b and 20b are fitted in parallel with the fitting recess 4 provided in the connecting tool 3 together with 19a, and
It is configured so that it can be fitted into the leg fitting concave portion 6 provided in the. Further, the lower lateral portion 15 b of the frame portion 15 at the lower position is the leg portion 5 of the guard member 2.

The front member 8, the back member 9, the left side member 10 and the right side member 11 having the above-mentioned structure have the same connecting structure 3 at each place (upper 4 places, lower 4 places, total 8 places).
Are connected by.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the connector 3 is made of a suitable synthetic resin member, and a fitting recess 4 is formed in the upper width direction thereof (fitting). Recess 4
The opening direction is up).

The fitting concave portion 4 is formed by the horizontal portion 14a of the hook-shaped portions 14 and 19 of the front member 8 and the rear member 9 described above.
19a and the frame portion 1 of the left side member 10 and the right side member 11
The upper lateral portions 15a and 20a of the gears 5 and 20 can be fitted in parallel with each other.

Two holes 16 are formed at the left and right positions of the bottom of the fitting recess 4 so that the hanging parts 14b and 19b of the hook-shaped parts 14 and 19 disposed in the fitting recess 4 can be fitted therein. It is provided.

The two holes 16 provided in the fitting recess 4 are for connecting the respective members of the guard member 2 with the connecting tool 3 having the same structure. For example, the hook 1 of the front member 8
In the case of the hanging parts 14b and 19b according to 4, 19, the hanging parts 14 according to the hook-shaped parts 14 and 19 of the back member 9 are fitted and inserted into one hole 16.
In the case of b and 19b, the commonization of parts is achieved by adopting a configuration in which the other hole 16 is fitted and connected.

Therefore, with this structure, only one mold is required for molding the connector 3 made of synthetic resin.

As shown in FIG. 4, the connector 3 has a leg fitting recess 6 formed at a position below the inner surface thereof (the leg fitting recess 6 is opened in the horizontal direction).

The leg fitting concave portion 6 is for fitting the lower lateral portion 15b (leg portion 5) of the frame portion 15 at the lower position of each of the left side member 10 and the right side member 11, and the inner surface thereof has a cross section. A V-shaped protrusion 17 is formed, and the lower lateral portion 15b is securely locked in the leg fitting concave portion 6 by passing over the lower lateral portion 15b.

Therefore, the fitting recess 4 of the connector 3 is fitted into the upper lateral portion 15a of the frame portion 15 at the lower position of each of the left side member 10 and the right side member 11, and the connector 3 is rotated in this state. Then, when the leg fitting concave portion 6 is pressed against the lower lateral portion 15b (leg portion 5), the connector 3 is fixed to the frame portion 15, and in this state, the fitting concave portion 4 is formed.
The horizontal portion 14a relating to the hook-shaped portion 14 is fitted in.

At the lower end of the connector 3, the connector 3
The left side surface member 10 and the right side surface member 11 are frame portions at the lower positions respectively.
A grounding portion 7 is provided that abuts the grounding surface when connected to 15.

As shown in FIG. 4, the connector 3 is provided with a bulging portion 18 at a position below the inner surface thereof.
A hole 18a is formed in the hole.

The bulging portion 18 is constructed as a mounting portion 13 which is erected in the guard member 2 and into which the end portion of the heat supply source receiver 12 made of a metal wire on which the heat supply source 1 is placed can be fitted and connected. Has been done. Therefore, by installing the heat supply source receiver 12 between the front and rear connecting members 3 disposed on the leg portions 5 located below the left side member 10 and the right side member 11, respectively, the heat supply source receiver 12 is provided. Will be disposed in a state of facing the depth direction of the guard member 2.

Reference numeral 21 is a heat supply source fixing body that prevents the heat supply source 1 placed on the heat supply source receiver 12 from moving in the front-rear direction.

When the guard member 2 is formed by using the connecting member 3 having the above structure, a total of eight connecting members 3 are previously attached to all the frame portions 15 and 20 of the left side surface member 10 and the right side surface member 11. Attached, and in this state, the hook-shaped portions 14 and 19 at both left and right ends of the front member 8 are connected to the connecting tool 3 attached to the frame portions 15 and 20 at the front end portions of the left side member 10 and the right side member 11. Then, the connecting tool 3 in which the hook-shaped portions 14 and 19 at both left and right ends of the back member 9 are attached to the frame portions 15 and 20 at the rear ends of the left side member 10 and the right side member 11, respectively.
Connect to and complete.

At this time, the connecting member 3 has a function of connecting any adjacent members constituting the guard member 2, and is connected to the frame portions 15 at the lower positions of the left side surface member 10 and the right side surface member 11, respectively. The lower end of the connecting tool 3 functions as the grounding portion 7 that comes into contact with the grounding surface.

Therefore, by constructing the connecting member 3 made of synthetic resin so as to be grounded, it is not necessary to separately attach a cap to the leg portion of the guard member as in the conventional case, and the grounding surface is not scratched. Applications (functions) that have added value that has not been available in the past to the connector 3 that has been conventionally aimed exclusively at connecting adjacent members, such as possible prevention.
Will be given.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the connecting portion 3 is provided in the guard member 2 and the heat supply source receiver 12 for mounting and fixing the heat supply source 1 is attached to the connector 3, the function is further improved. Will increase and the product value will increase.
