(Prior art and its problems) Conventionally, when attaching a hand dryer or the like to a wall such as a toilet, the cover of the main body of the hand dryer is removed, a screw hole is formed in the main body from the front, and a screw is inserted into the screw hole from the front side. The main body is attached to the wall via screws,
After that, the cover was attached to the main body and the installation work was completed.

In such conventional installation methods, it is necessary to hold a fairly heavy hand dryer or the like in a predetermined position on the wall surface for a considerable period of time during installation, and it is necessary to perform hole-drilling work using a hole-drilling tool or the like. There is a problem that the installation work is very troublesome, and the internal components of the hand dryer etc. are exposed when tools are used, so the tools may damage the parts. There were some problems, such as:

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the purpose is to provide a mounting structure that allows a hand dryer etc. to be easily and conveniently mounted on a wall surface. The gist is that the mounting bracket fixed to the main body side is engaged with the fixing bracket fixed to the wall side,
This is a mounting structure for attaching a main body of a hand dryer or the like to a wall surface, and the fixing metal fittings include a flat fixing plate that is fixed to the wall surface in contact with the wall surface, and a flat fixing plate that is bent at the lower edge of the fixing plate so that it is almost horizontal. It has a protruding stop piece and a pair of engaging pieces that are vertically disposed facing each other in a floating manner on the front surface of the fixing plate above the stop piece. A pair of engagement plates each having a U-shaped cross section and forming an engagement groove that is open on the side and continuous in the vertical direction and into which the engagement piece can be engaged are provided oppositely. ,
A frame-shaped back frame plate surrounding the mounting bracket is formed protrudingly, and a pair of guide pieces are provided at the bottom of the back frame plate to form a guide port that allows positioning of the mounting bracket with respect to the fixing bracket. The pair of engagement pieces are formed upright at an interval that allows them to be inserted.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective configuration diagram of a hand dryer, and the hand dryer 1 has a fan case 5 in which a fan 4 connected to a motor 3 is installed inside a case body 2 constituting the main body. A heater case 6 containing a heater device is connected to the lower part of the fan case 5, and a blow-out part 7 is connected to the lower part of the heater case 6.

Air is sent into the heater case 6 by the fan 4 of the hand dryer 1, becomes warm air within the heater case 6, and the warm air is blown downward from the blow-off part 7 to remove wet hands etc. from the blow-off part 7. It can be dried by hot air blown out.

When such a hand dryer 1 is attached to a wall surface of a toilet or the like, a mounting structure as shown in FIG. 2 is adopted in this example.

That is, a frame-shaped back frame plate 9 is integrally formed on the back side of the case body 2 of the hand dryer 1 and projects rearward, and the bottom of the back frame plate 9 is cut out in the center. , the ends of which are upwardly raised guide pieces 9a, 9a, and a guide port R is formed between these guide pieces 9a, 9a.

Above the guide port R and in the center of the back frame plate 9, a mounting bracket 10 is fixed to the back side of the case body 2.

This mounting bracket 10 includes a flat plate 10a that is fixed to the back side of the case body 2 in an abutting manner, and this flat plate 10a.
A pair of opposing engagement plates 1 are integrally formed on the rear side of the
0b, 10b, and the engagement plate 1
0b is formed to have a U-shaped cross section, and is provided with an engagement groove M that is open on the side and continues in the vertical direction.

On the other hand, a fixture 1 that is fixed to the wall of a toilet, etc.
1 includes a flat fixing plate 12 that is fixed to a wall surface in abutting manner, a retaining piece 11a formed on the lower edge of the fixing plate 12 by bending it forward and protruding horizontally, and the fixing plate 12. A pair of retaining plates 13 fixed on the front side,
13, the fixing plate 1
Screw holes 12a, 12a, drilled in the corners of 2
The fixing plate 12 can be fixed to the wall surface by passing screws 16 into the walls 12a and 12a, respectively, and screwing the screws 16 into the wall surface.
Further, the holding plate 13 is formed in a stepped shape, and the engaging pieces 13a, 13a are disposed facing each other so as to be raised from the fixing plate 12.

With the fixing bracket 11 fixed to the wall, the case body 2 of the hand dryer is aligned with the fixing bracket 11, and the mounting bracket 1 is attached to the fixing bracket 11.
