As clearly shown in the figure, an operator can attach the decorative panel 24 to the bottom plate 28 of the main body 1 by using four screws 25. In addition, 26 and 27 are screw holes, 24 is a ceiling surface, and 25 is a ceiling opening.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional method, the screws are screwed one by one, so it takes a long time to install, and it has been a problem to reduce the installation time.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a device capable of easily installing a decorative panel on a bottom plate of a main body without using a tool.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the decorative panel installation device according to claim 1, a hanging mechanism capable of hanging the decorative panel through a predetermined portion of the decorative panel is made to project from the bottom plate of the main body, and receives a force to push up the hanging mechanism. The suspension mechanism is configured so as to rise toward the ceiling surface and stop the rise when the force is no longer applied.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a decorative panel installation device including: (a) a hanging portion that projects from the first surface of the bottom plate, and suspends the decorative panel via a predetermined portion of the decorative panel; It is supported by a supporting portion arranged on the second surface and can be rotated in the up-down direction about the supporting portion as an axis by an external force applied thereto, and the tip portion thereof forms a suspending portion. , A lever mechanism in which a plurality of stepped shapes are continuously formed on the side surface thereof, and (c) is arranged on the second surface of the bottom plate so as to be slidable on the second surface, A lock mechanism is provided, a part of which is locked in a plurality of stepped shapes.

A decorative panel installation device according to a third aspect is the decorative panel installation device according to the second aspect, wherein one end of the lock mechanism is bent so as to project from the first surface of the bottom plate.

[0009]

[Action]

 In the decorative panel installation device according to the first aspect, when the suspension mechanism is continuously pushed up, the suspension mechanism continues to rise toward the ceiling surface. At that time, the decorative panel also rises in conjunction with the hanging mechanism. Then, when pushing up is stopped, the suspension mechanism stops at that position. Therefore, due to the push-up, the decorative panel approaches the Amami surface.

In the decorative panel installation device according to the second aspect, when an external force is applied to the lever mechanism in the upward direction, the lever mechanism rotates in the upward direction. By this rotation, the lock mechanism is disengaged from the stepped shape that locks the mechanism and slides on the second surface of the bottom plate while the external force is applied. Then, when the external force is no longer applied, the lock mechanism is again locked by the stepped shape and stops the sliding. As a result, the lever mechanism is locked in its position by the lock mechanism.

In the decorative panel installation device according to claim 3, when an external force is applied to one end of the lock mechanism in a direction opposite to the direction slid by the external force applied to the lever mechanism, the lock mechanism is separated from the stepped shape. , The locked state of the lever mechanism is released. This release causes the lever mechanism to rotate downward due to its own gravity.
