(Panel 2 mounting process ... When panel 2 is light)
Next, the step of attaching the panel 2 to the wall 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The process shown in FIG. 9 is a process executed when the panel 2 is relatively lightweight.
The receiving member 10 of the upper mounting device 5A, the left and right first members 30, and the receiving member 10 of the lower mounting device 5B are fixed to the wall 1 in advance. On the back surface of the panel 2, the insertion member 20 of the upper mounting device 5A, the left and right second members 40, and the insertion member 20 of the lower mounting device 5B are fixed in advance.

When the operator holds the panel 2 and lowers the panel 2 from a position diagonally upward to the right of the regular mounting position on the wall 1, the insertion plate portion 22 of the insertion member 20 enters the insertion space 14 of the receiving member 10. At the same time, the support plate portion 42 and the locking piece 47 of the second member 40 on the left side enter the insertion spaces 14 and 38.

As shown in FIG. 9A, the convex portion 47a of the engaging piece 47 of the second member 40 on the left side rides on the upper edge of the receiving plate portion 12 of the receiving member 10. In this state, the step portion 23 of the insertion member 20 is separated from the upper edge of the receiving plate portion 12 of the receiving member 10, and the lower edge of the insertion plate portion 22 of the insertion member 20 is separated from the step portion 13 of the receiving member 10. Therefore, the load bearing portion 6 does not receive the load of the panel 2. The same applies to the lower mounting device 5B.
Since the convex portion 47a of the engaging piece 47 of the second member 40 on the right side is floating, the operator bears the load on the right side of the panel 2.

Next, the panel 2 is moved to the left while receiving the convex portion 47a of the engaging piece 47 of the second member 40 on the left side and resting on the upper edge of the member 10. Then, the engaging piece 47 enters the insertion space 38 between the engaging plate portion 42 of the first member 30 and the wall 1, and the convex portion 47a of the engaging piece 47 slides on the upper edge of the receiving plate portion 12. It moves to the first guide portion 36a on the right side of the guide edge 36 of the first member 30. At this time, even in the holding structure 7 on the right side, the convex portion 47a of the engaging piece 47 of the second member 40 rides on the first guide portion 36a on the right side of the guide edge 36 of the first member 30. In the subsequent steps, the operator does not have to bear the load of the panel 2.

When the panel 2 is further moved to the left, in the left and right holding structures 7, the convex portion 47a of the engaging piece 47 moves while sliding the first guide portion 36a to reach the second guide portion 36b, and further, FIG. As shown in (B), it slides along the inclination of the second guide portion 36b. As a result, the panel 2 moves upward while moving to the left.

When the panel 2 is further moved to the left, as shown in FIG. 9C, in the left and right holding structures 7, the convex portion 47a of the engaging piece 47 moves while riding on the upper end portion of the second guide portion 36b. Eventually, when the upper end of the second guide portion 36b and the step 36d are crossed, as shown in FIG. 9D, the panel 2 falls into the recess 36c due to its own weight and rides on the bottom edge of the recess 36c. Since the panel 2 is depressed by the depth of the recess 36c, the operator can know that the position of the panel 2 in the left-right direction has almost reached the regular mounting position on the wall 1.

Next, when the operator pushes the panel 2 downward, the convex portion 47a is pushed by the cross-linking portion between the concave portion 36c and the engaging hole 37, and the engaging piece 47 is elastically deformed. When further pushed down, the convex portion 47a gets over the crosslinked portion and reaches the engaging hole 37, and the engaging piece 47 elastically returns. At the same time, the insertion member 20 of the load-bearing structure 6 is completely inserted into the receiving member 10 (the lower edge of the insertion member 20 hits the step 13 of the receiving member 10, and the step 23 of the insertion member 20 is the receiving plate portion. (It hits the upper edge of 12), and the load of the panel 2 is borne. The same applies to the lower mounting device 5B.

(Panel 2 mounting process ... When panel 2 is heavy)
Next, the process of attaching the relatively heavy panel 2 to the wall 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
As in the case where the panel 2 is light, when the operator holds the panel 2 and lowers the panel 2 from a position diagonally upward to the right of the regular mounting position on the wall 1, the second member 40 of the holding structure 7 on the left side The convex portion 47a of the engaging piece 47 rides on the upper edge of the receiving plate portion 12 of the receiving member 10. See FIG. 9 (A).

Next, when the panel 2 is moved to the left, the convex portions 47a of the engaging pieces 47 of the left and right holding structures 7 ride on the first guide portion 36a on the right side of the guide edge 36, respectively, and the panel 2 is further moved to the left. When moved, the convex portion 47a of the engaging piece 47 moves along the first guide portion 36a and hits the inclined second guide portion 36b. However, since the panel 2 is heavy, the convex portion 47a cannot move upward along the second guide portion 36b, and as shown in FIG. 10A, between the engaging plate portion 32 of the first member 30 and the wall 1. Enter the insertion space 38 of. At this time, since the convex portion 47a is pushed by the engaging plate portion 32, the engaging piece 47 is elastically deformed.

When the panel 2 is further moved to the left, the convex portion 47a reaches the engaging hole 37, and the engaging piece 47 elastically returns. In the process of moving the panel 2 to the left, the panel 2 moves downward due to the weight of the panel 2, and the insertion member 20 is completely attached to the receiving member 10 by the time the convex portion 47a reaches the engaging hole 37. (A state in which the lower edge of the insertion member 20 hits the step 13 of the receiving member 10 and the step 23 of the insertion member 20 hits the upper edge of the receiving plate portion 12).

(Panel 2 mounting process ... When panel 2 is heavier)
When the panel 2 is heavier, when the panel 2 is lowered from a position diagonally upward to the right of the regular mounting position on the wall 1, the convex portion 47a of the engaging piece 47 of the second member 40 on the left side receives the panel 2.
