Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to an apparatus for arranging wall-mounted gas instantaneous water heaters and other wall-mounted appliances in parallel on at least one pair of adjacent sides.

(Prior Art) The applicant has previously developed a device of this type in which locking metal fittings are arranged in parallel on at least one pair of adjacent sides on one side and the other side, and each metal fitting can be attached and detached in front of the locking metal fittings. A ruler that is fixed to one and the other of the pair of metal fittings and extends between the two to regulate the distance between them, in a type of wall-mounted fittings that can be freely locked and arranged side by side in a corresponding pair. The proposed device is equipped with a plate, and the pair of instruments is further provided with a gap cover that closes the gap between them from the front side.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in this case, the ruler plate and the gap cover are generally prepared separately in advance and are applied separately, which is disadvantageous in that the number of parts increases. accompanied by.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a device that does not have such inconveniences, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide a device that does not have such inconveniences. At least one pair of wall-mounted appliances are installed in parallel with the other side, and each locking fitting is engaged with the wall-mounted appliances, and the gap between the pair of appliances is closed from the front surface thereof. In the device equipped with a cover, engaging portions that engage with reference portions of both locking fittings are provided at at least two locations in the longitudinal direction of the gap cover, so that the gap cover has a ruler plate function. It is made up of

(Function) In the apparatus for arranging wall-mounted appliances side by side with the above configuration, the gap cover itself has a ruler plate function, and the gap cover is provided with reference points for both locking fittings at at least two places in its longitudinal direction. By simply providing an engaging portion that engages with a portion, the ruler plate function can be easily provided.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be explained with reference to attached drawings.

Figures 1 and 2 show one example.
2 indicates a locking metal fitting smaller than the wall hanging apparatus 1 that removably locks the apparatus 1, and 3 indicates a locking pin on the front surface of the wall-mounted apparatus 1. The devices 1 are arranged in pairs on one side and the other side adjacent to each other, and each one is fixed with a screw 5 or the like, and the appliance 1 is connected to the corresponding pair in front through each metal fitting 2. Now they are placed side by side. The equipment 1-1
The pair has a gap 6 between them, and a gap cover 7 is provided on the front surface of the gap to close the gap. In the illustrated example, each appliance 1 consists of a frame-like appliance body 1a that houses a heat exchanger, burner unit, etc. (not shown) inside, and a removable front cover 1b that closes the front opening of the appliance body 1a. Although the cover 7 is of the type inserted between the instrument body 1a and the front cover 1b and attached to the main body 1a side, the cover 7 is not limited to this, and may be attached to the front cover 1b from the front side as described later. It is also possible to use the same format.

To attach the locking metal fittings 2 to a wall surface, first one of the locking metal fittings 2 is fixed to the wall surface, and then the other locking metal fitting 2 is fixed to the wall surface. In this case, since the locking fittings 2 are smaller than the wall-hanging fixtures 1, unless the spacing between the locking metal fittings 2, 2 is appropriate, the wall-hanging fixtures 1, 1 attached to them will be too far apart, and the wall-hanging fixtures 1, 1 may not be able to be closed from the front with the gap cover 1b, or the wall-mounted fixture 1 may not be able to be attached to the locking fitting 2 because they are too close together. Therefore, as mentioned above, a separate ruler plate is used, but in this case, a separate ruler plate must always be prepared.

Therefore, the present invention provides engaging portions 9 that engage with the reference portions of both the locking fittings 2, 2 at at least two locations in the longitudinal direction of the gap cover 7, and the gap cover 7 itself In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the gap cover 7 has the function of the ruler plate.
Projections 7b are provided at both ends of the longitudinal strip 7a and are perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and protrude from both sides of the strip 7a. On the hook 8 provided on the upper edge of
By locking one of the projecting pieces 7b and fixing the other projecting piece 7b facing the lower edge of the instrument body 1a to the lower edge of the instrument body 1a with screws or the like, a gap is created between both instrument bodies 1a. 6 was closed. The corner formed by the side edge of the strip plate 7a and the side edge of the projecting piece 7b is defined as the engaging portion 9, and the engaging portion 9 is used as the reference portion of the locking fittings 2, 2. By engaging the locking pins 3, 3, the gap cover 7 can regulate the distance between the locking metal fittings 2, 2. That is, the gap cover 7 is provided with a ruler plate function.

In the gap cover 7 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, protrusions 7b are provided at both ends of a longitudinal strip 7a and projecting from both sides of the strip 7a, and are perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. One of the projecting pieces 7b is locked to a hook 8 provided on the upper edge of the instrument main body 1a, which is attached to the wall surface via the fasteners 2, 2, and the instrument main body 1a
The other protruding piece 7b facing the lower edge is fixed to the lower edge of the instrument main body 1a with a screw or the like, and both instrument bodies 1a
The second feature is to close the gap 6 that occurs between the two.
Although not particularly different from the embodiment shown in the drawings, in the embodiment shown in FIG.
The recess is the engaging portion 9, and in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the protruding piece 7b is the engaging portion 9, and both the locking fittings 2, 2 are provided with a slit 11 into which the protruding piece 7b is inserted. This was used as the reference part.

FIG. 5 shows another modification, in which the gap cover 7 is attached to each instrument 1, as shown in FIG.
1, each front cover 1b is applied from the front surface of 1b and can be freely latched thereto at bent edges 7c at both ends,
Both bent edges 7c are used as the engaging portions 9, and by engaging the bent edges 7c with the edges 10 of both the locking fittings 2, 2, which serve as the reference portions, the gap cover 7 has the function of the ruler plate.

Incidentally, the length between the bent edges 7c of the gap cover 7 is determined automatically by the height of the wall-mounted fixture 1, and it is conceivable that the length is different from the length when the ruler plate function is exerted. . In this case, as shown in FIG. 7 or 8, the shape of the reference portion and the edge 10 of the locking fitting 2 may be changed.

That is, for example, as shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, there is a protrusion 1 on the edge of each locking metal fitting 2, 2.
3 should be formed.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, according to the invention, the gap cover is simply provided with engaging parts that engage with reference parts of both locking fittings at at least two places in the longitudinal direction of the gap cover. can have a ruler board function,
Compared to a system in which the ruler plate and the gap cover are provided separately, the number of parts is reduced, and the structure is simple and inexpensive.

Furthermore, when installing wall-mounted devices on-site, when installing wall-mounted devices side by side, a ruler is required to position both devices at a predetermined distance, and a gap cover is required to hide the gap between both devices. When it depends on
The essential gap cover can also be used as a ruler,
This has the effect that the installer does not forget to prepare a separate ruler.
