It is comprised so that. Here, the slide piece 4 is configured such that the slide body 4 a moves along the first opening 3 a of the cover piece 3 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

  Next, the usage method of this decorative cover 1 for corners will be described.

  That is, when the indoor unit 11 of the air conditioner is installed on the front surface 19 a of the horizontal member 19 of the building, the horizontal member 19 and the inner wall W are used to protect the pipe 18 led out from the lower surface 11 a of the indoor unit 11. A pipe protection cover is attached so as to cover the pipe 18. Here, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, when the horizontal member 19 is low, the lower surface 11 a of the indoor unit 11 is positioned slightly above the lower surface 19 b of the horizontal member 19. As the piping protective cover, the lead-out decorative cover 12, the corner corner decorative cover 1, the second piping duct 15, the corner corner decorative cover 16, and the third piping duct 17 are used. At this time, a slight gap is generated between the cover piece 3 of the outer corner corner decorative cover 1 and the leading portion outer decorative cover 12, so that the outer corner corner decorative cover 1 corresponds to the gap as described below. The slide piece 4 is attached in a state of protruding upward by a predetermined distance.

  In addition, about construction of piping protective covers other than the outer corner corner decorative cover 1 (the leading portion decorative cover 12, the second piping duct 15, the inner corner corner decorative cover 16, the third piping duct 17), publicly known procedures Therefore, the description thereof is omitted here.

  First, in the base attaching step, as shown in FIG. 8, the attaching base 2 is fixed with screws (not shown) in the vicinity of the protruding corner 19 c on the lower surface 19 b of the horizontal member 19. For this purpose, the bottom plate 2a of the mounting base 2 is directed to the lower surface 19b of the horizontal member 19, and in this state, a screw is inserted into the screw hole 2b of the mounting base 2 and screwed into the lower surface 19b of the horizontal member 19.

  At this time, since the mounting base 2 is provided with the positioning rib 2d as described above, the mounting base 2 is brought into a predetermined position by applying the positioning rib 2d to the protruding corner 19c of the horizontal member 19. It can be installed accurately and quickly.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to a piping process, and the piping 18 is disposed along the mounting base 2.

  Next, the process proceeds to a slide attachment process, and the slide piece 4 is attached to the attachment base 2 so as to cover the pipe 18. For this purpose, the slide piece 4 is approached from the front of the mounting base 2 and pressed against the mounting base 2. Then, as shown in FIG. 1 (c), the pair of gripped pieces 4 c of the slide piece 4 are fitted and elastically held by the pair of gripping pieces 2 f of the mounting base 2, and the slide piece 4 is attached to the mounting base 2. It will be in the state attached to movably. Then, the slide piece 4 is raised to the indoor unit 11 side by a predetermined distance according to the interval between the cover piece 3 of the decorative cover 1 for the exit corner and the decorative cover 12 for the outlet portion. At this time, as described above, since the slide piece 4 is configured to be held at an arbitrary position on the mounting base 2, the slide piece 4 is shifted from a predetermined position due to the influence of its own weight or the like. Can be prevented in advance. Moreover, as described above, since the slide piece 4 is provided with the pair of stoppers 4b at both ends of each gripped piece 4c, the slide piece 4 can be prevented from falling off by the stopper 4b.

  Finally, the process proceeds to the cover attaching step, and the cover piece 3 is attached to the attachment base 2 so as to cover the slide piece 4 and the pipe 18. For this purpose, the cover piece 3 is approached from below the mounting base 2 and the slide piece 4 and pressed against the mounting base 2. Then, the pair of locking claws 3 c of the cover piece 3 engages with the pair of locking grooves 2 e of the mounting base 2, and the cover piece 3 is attached to the mounting base 2.

  At this time, as described above, the mounting base 2 is accurately mounted at a predetermined position with respect to the protruding corner 19c of the horizontal member 19, so that the cover main body 31 is installed at a predetermined position, and thus the protruding corner. The corner decorative cover 1 can be attached accurately and quickly.

  Here, the construction of the decorative cover 1 for the exit corner is completed.

  As described above, the decorative cover 1 for the exit corner is provided so as to be movable in the direction orthogonal to the pipe introduction surface P1, as described above. Therefore, depending on the situation of the installation site of the indoor unit 11, The vertical distance from the lower surface 11a of the machine 11 to the corner 19c of the horizontal member 19 changes, and along with this, the gap between the cover piece 3 of the corner corner decorative cover 1 and the outlet portion decorative cover 12 becomes larger. Even if it changes, it is not necessary to prepare a separate pipe protection cover for covering the gap between the indoor unit 11 and the cover piece 3 by appropriately projecting the slide piece 4 from the cover piece 3 according to the gap. The piping protection work associated with the installation of the indoor unit 11 can be performed without hindrance. As a result, since it is not necessary to cut the long pipe protection cover, it is possible to reduce the time required for the pipe protection work and simplify the inventory management of the pipe protection cover.

  In addition, as described above, both the slide piece 4 and the cover piece 3 are attached to the mounting base 2, and this mounting base 2 is attached to the protruding corner corner 19 c of the horizontal member 19. Since it is attached correctly, the position accuracy of the decorative cover 1 for the outer corner can be increased.

Similarly, even if the horizontal distance from the corner 19c of the horizontal member 19 to the inner wall W changes, if this corner corner decorative cover 1 is used, the piping protection work can be performed without hindrance. it can.

  That is, since the depth of the horizontal member 19 is short, when the outer corner corner decorative cover 1 and the inner corner corner decorative cover 16 are not so far apart, the pipe introduction surface of the first opening 3a of the cover piece 3 At the same time that P1 is changed to the pipe lead-out surface P2, the pipe lead-out surface P2 of the second opening 3b of the cover piece 3 is changed to the pipe introduction surface P1, and instead of using the second pipe duct 15, it The slide piece 4 of the outer corner corner decorative cover 1 is protruded laterally by a predetermined distance according to the gap between the cover piece 3 of the decorative cover 1 and the inner corner corner decorative cover 16.

  In this case, the construction procedure of the decorative cover 1 for the corners is basically the same as the procedure of the first embodiment described above. However, in the base mounting step, the mounting base 2 is fixed with screws in the vicinity of the protruding corner 19c on the front surface 19a, not the lower surface 19b of the horizontal member 19. In the slide mounting process, the slide piece 4 is brought close to and pressed against the mounting base 2 from below rather than in front of the mounting base 2, so that the slide piece 4 is mounted on the mounting base 2 and the depth of the horizontal member 19 The slide piece 4 is moved horizontally to the corner corner decorative cover 16 side by a predetermined distance according to the gap between the cover piece 3 of the corner corner decorative cover 1 and the corner corner decorative cover 16. Further, in the cover attaching step, the cover piece 3 is attached to the attachment base 2 by approaching the cover piece 3 from the front rather than below the attachment base 2 and the slide piece 4 and pressing it against the attachment base 2.

  Therefore, also in this case, the same effects as those of the first embodiment described above are obtained.

  Moreover, in Embodiment 1 mentioned above, as shown in FIG. 5, although the case where the 1st opening part 3a protruded below Fig.5 (a) from the 2nd opening part 3b was demonstrated, the 1st opening part 3a was demonstrated. Does not necessarily have to protrude.

  Moreover, in Embodiment 1 mentioned above, as shown in FIG. 2, although the slide piece 4 demonstrated the decorative cover 1 for the corner-out corners accommodated in the cover piece 3, this slide piece 4 is folded in multiple steps | paragraphs. By using the formula, the stroke L1 of the slide piece 4 can be significantly increased regardless of the size of the cover piece 3.

  In the first embodiment, the case where the slide piece 4 is provided on the mounting base 2 has been described. However, the slide piece 4 may be provided on the cover piece 3. In this case, after the attachment base 2 is attached to the horizontal member 19, the attachment procedure of attaching the cover piece 3 provided with the slide piece 4 to the attachment base 2 is adopted, so that the decorative cover 1 for the outer corner is provided. Construction can be performed smoothly.

  In the first embodiment described above, the cover piece 3 in which the pipe introduction surface P1 of the first opening 3a and the pipe lead-out surface P2 of the second opening 3b are orthogonal to each other has been described. However, the pipe introduction surface P1 and the pipe lead-out surface P2 do not necessarily intersect at 90 °, and may intersect at an angle other than 90 ° (for example, 80 °, 120 °, etc.).

  In the first embodiment described above, the mounting base 2 having the two positioning ribs 2d has been described. However, the number of the positioning ribs 2d is not limited to two.

  Moreover, in Embodiment 1 mentioned above, the case where the piping 18 was derived | led-out downward from the lower surface of the indoor unit 11 was demonstrated. However, the present invention can be similarly applied to the case where the pipe 18 is led out sideways from the side surface of the indoor unit 11 and then the pipe 18 is bent 90 ° and led downward.

  Furthermore, Embodiment 1 mentioned above demonstrated the case where the decorative cover 1 for a corner-out corner was attached to the indoor unit 6 of an air conditioning apparatus. However, the present invention can be similarly applied to the case where the decorative cover 1 for a corner is attached to a device other than the indoor unit 11 of the air conditioner (for example, a water heater, a water heater, etc.).

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be widely applied to a decorative cover for a projected corner that covers a pipe led out from a device attached to the front surface of a beam, a girder, a corner of a wall surface, a stepped portion of a column or other horizontal member.
