Yes. A number of screw holes 14 for fixing the decorative face material 60 may be formed.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the face material receiving portion 12 includes the receiving surface 12a and a frame portion 12b extending substantially vertically from the end edge of the receiving surface 12a by a predetermined length. Here, since the receiving surface 12a receives the relatively heavy decorative face material 60, the lower edge portion of the decorative face material 60 is placed to hold the decorative face material 60 from below. Moreover, the frame part 12b latches the refractory material 20 mounted on the receiving surface 12a from the front side. The receiving surface 12a and the frame portion 12b are formed by bending the end portion in the short-side direction while leaving a rectangular thin plate substantially the same length as the width W of the mounting bar main body 11 by the thickness of the decorative surface material 60. For this reason, in FIG. 4, the dimension D1 from the mounting bar main body 11 of the receiving surface 12a to the inner wall side of the frame portion 12b is at least larger than the thickness of the decorative surface material 60.

  The concealing part 15 is formed of a rectangular thin plate. When the receiving surface 12a of the face material receiving portion 12 is fixed so as to be substantially perpendicular to the front surface of the mounting bar body 11, the concealing portion 15 is fixed to the face material receiving portion 12 so as to be disposed in front of the screw hole 13a. It is integrally formed. The dimension D2 from the mounting bar body 11 to the inner wall of the concealing portion 15 is a dimension that allows a screw such as a hexagon bolt to be fixed to the mounting bracket 51 to be inserted into the screw hole 13a, and inserts the head of a tool such as a spanner. It is set to have the possible dimensions. In addition, although the concealment part 15 of illustration is separately formed in the front surface of the screw holes 13a and 13a, the concealment part 15 may be formed with one member.

By using the face material mounting bar 10 having the above configuration, the decorative face material 60 can be attached above the range hood 80 as shown in FIG.
First, as shown in FIG. 5A, after the joint metal fitting 52 is screwed to the upper back of the decorative face material 60, the decorative face material 60 is attached to the receiving surface 12a on which the refractory material 20 of the face material mounting bar 10 is laid.

The face member mounting bar 10 is fixed by spot welding a fixing portion 13 formed separately to the back side of the mounting bar body 11. In this modification, the concealing part is not formed in the face material receiving part 12, but the mounting bar main body 11 has the function.

  In the mounting bar main body 11, a face material receiving portion 12 is arranged on the front side of a rectangular plate, and a through hole 16 through which the screw component S1 can pass is arranged at both lower portions in the width direction. When the shaft portion (thread portion) of the screw component S1 that has passed through the through hole 16 is inserted from the screw hole 13e of the fixing portion and turned, the fixing portion 13 can be fastened to the mounting bracket 51. Note that the diameter of the through hole 16 formed in the mounting bar main body 11 is equal to or larger than the diameter of the head of the screw S1. The fixing portion 13 has a welding surface 13b formed by bending a metal plate into a crank shape, a gap surface 13c, and a screwing surface 13d. Here, the welding surface 13b is a surface to be spot-welded to the mounting bar main body 11, the gap surface 13c is a surface formed by bending a predetermined length substantially perpendicularly from the welding surface 13b, and the screwing surface 13d is The surface is formed by being bent substantially perpendicularly from the gap surface 13c. A screw hole 13a is formed in the screwing surface 13d.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the welding surface 13 b of the fixed portion is spot-welded to the mounting bar main body 11 in a state of being in surface contact with the back side of the mounting bar main body 11. At this time, the position of the through hole 16 of the mounting bar main body 11 and the position of the screw hole 13 a of the fixing part are matched, and the fixing part 13 is fixed to the mounting bar main body 11. Therefore, the fixing portion 13 is arranged at a position deeper than the mounting bar main body 11 when viewed from the front side A of the mounting bar main body 11. Further, the tip of a tool such as a screwdriver can be inserted into the through-hole 16 from the front side A and the screw component S1 can be tightened, and the screwing operation can be easily performed. Moreover, since the lower part of the attachment metal fitting main body 11 is arrange | positioned before the fixing | fixed part 13, the head of screw component S1 can be made hard to see. Thereby, the face material mounting bar 10 functions as the concealing portion 15.

  Further, like the face material mounting bar 10 shown in FIG. 7, the through hole 16 may be covered with the closing member 17 in order to conceal the head of the screw part S <b> 1. In this modification, after the face material mounting bar 10 is mounted above the hood 81, the closing member 17 formed of foamed rubber or a resin molded product is fixed so as to cover the through hole 16 using an adhesive or double-sided tape. ing. Moreover, it is good also as a shape which made the closure member 17 fit to the through-hole 16 like the face material attachment crosspiece 10 shown in FIG. The closing member 17 includes a fitting portion 17a having a cross section substantially the same as that of the through-hole 16, and the fitting portion 17a is inserted through the through-hole 16 so as to conceal the screw S1 from the front side A. In this modification, since the fitting part 17a is only fitted and fixed to the through-hole 16, it is easy to remove the closing member 17, and the removed blocking member 17 is fitted to the through-hole 16 any number of times. Can be made.
