Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to suspend a ceiling panel by mounting a horizontal frame material of a second story floor panel and a frame or the like with hardware which is easy to support without using bolts or nails. CONSTITUTION:Hardware 2 comprises a clamping part 21 which penetrates and clamps a lower part horizontal member of a horizontal frame member, such as a second story panel P being inserted from the side and a vertical suspension piece 22 which is continuously installed to the lower part of this clamping part and arranged to support a first story side ceiling panel. A blade spring 3 is installed, which is designed to support the lower part horizontal member to be inserted into the clamping part under pressure irrespective of their board thickness. This construction makes it possible to support easily the first story ceiling panel with the hardware which is inserted into the secondary floor panel for clamping.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ceiling support structure for easily supporting a ceiling panel on the first floor by using a metal fitting which is inserted and clamped in a floor panel on the second floor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the case of suspending and supporting a ceiling panel S on the first floor by a frame F of a second floor panel P, mounting metal fittings can be driven and fixed in the direction in which the joist receiving material is present, but in the direction in which there is no joist receiving material. Since it is not possible to support the mounting hardware, the hanging piece T1 procured in the field is locked to the lower piece of the frame or the horizontal member F as shown in the figure, and the hanging tree T2 is fixed to this hanging piece T The ceiling panel S is supported directly on the hanging tree or through the piece material T3.

[0003]

Accordingly, even though the sturdy frame and the frame of the second floor panel are all arranged above the ceiling panel of the first floor, the metal fittings are attached to the frame F and the like. Since the ceiling panel is supported by the hanging tree supports and hanging trees that were procured in the field as mentioned above, the construction becomes complicated at the places where the installation is not possible.

It is an object of the present invention to suspend a ceiling panel by easily supporting a mounting hardware on a horizontal member of a second floor panel, a frame or the like without using bolts or nails.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to achieve the above-mentioned object, and a clamping portion for laterally inserting and clamping into a lower horizontal member of a horizontal member such as a second floor panel, In order to form a mounting hardware that is connected to the lower part of the sandwiching part and consists of a hanging piece that supports the ceiling panel on the first floor side, and to press and support the lower horizontal member that is inserted into the sandwiching part regardless of its plate thickness. The main point is to provide a leaf spring.

[0006]

[Function] Since it can be attached by simply inserting the mounting hardware into the lower horizontal member such as the frame of the second floor panel and the horizontal member by tapping the lower horizontal member from one edge of the lower horizontal member, it can be installed as the conventional joist It can be easily installed even in the direction where there is no need, and it is not necessary to procure a hanging tree or a hanging tree receiving material on the site, so the construction is simple and can be done firmly.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The ceiling support structure of the present invention will be described below with reference to the illustrated embodiments. In the figure, F is a frame or horizontal frame of the second floor panel, which is attached to the lower horizontal frame 1 of the frame or horizontal frame so as to sandwich the mounting hardware 2.

As shown in detail in FIG. 2, the mounting hardware 2 has a holding portion 21 whose one end is bent in a horizontal U shape with a band-shaped metal plate having a required strength, and a hanging portion which extends substantially vertically below the holding portion 21. The hanging piece 22 has a length suitable for hanging a ceiling panel on the first floor from the second floor panel with a predetermined gap in the height direction, and the frame of the ceiling panel. Mounting hole 2 so that it can be nailed or screwed to the material
3 is punched in place.

The upper and lower pieces 21a and 21b of the sandwiching portion 21 which is bent in a U-shape in the horizontal direction at the upper end are vertically parallel to each other, and the lower horizontal member 1 has a maximum plate thickness of the horizontal member F which is assumed in advance. The U-shaped length of the U-shape in the depth direction can be supported against a predetermined hanging force when the lower horizontal member 1 is inserted and supported. Thus, the spring member 3 is appropriately determined and the spring member 3 is disposed between the upper and lower pieces 21a and 21b.

The spring member 3 is plate-shaped, and its base end side is fixed to one side surface of the hanging piece 22, and the other free end side is bent to be inserted between the upper and lower pieces of the holding portion 21, and The lower surface of the piece 21a is brought into contact with or close to the lower surface.

As a result, in order to attach the mounting hardware 2 to the lower horizontal member 1 of the horizontal member F, the sandwiching portion 21 of the mounting hardware 2 is provided opposite the edge of the lower horizontal member 1 at an arbitrary mounting position as shown in FIG. Then, when hammering from the direction of arrow A with a hammer or the like, the leaf spring 3 bends, and the lower horizontal member 1 is inserted between the upper and lower pieces 21a and 21b. The upper surface of the horizontal member 1 is pressed against and clamped, and at this time, if the plate thickness of the lower horizontal member 1 is inserted between the clamping portions 21, it may be thin as shown in FIG. (2)
Even if it is thick, it can be attached in the same way.

In order to attach the first floor ceiling panel S to the mounting hardware 2, the ceiling panel frame or crosspiece is fixed to the hanging piece 22 with screws or nails.

FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment. The first method is to insert and hold the lower horizontal member 1 against the spring pressure in the holding portion 21 which is bent in a flat U-shape in the horizontal direction to support it. This embodiment is the same as the embodiment, but in this embodiment, the tip of the central portion of the leaf spring 3 is bent in an inverted V shape so that the inverted V-shaped locking piece 3a is projected more than other leaf spring surfaces, and this engagement is performed. A locking hole H into which the tip portion of the stop piece 3a is fitted and locked is drilled at a predetermined position of the lower horizontal member 1, and the upper piece 21a of the holding portion 21 is also drilled to fit into both locking holes. This prevents it from coming off.

In this way, the mounting hardware 2 is previously attached to the lower horizontal member 1.
If the locking hole H is drilled at the position where the attachment is made, the attachment can be easily and reliably positioned.

[0015]

The ceiling support structure of the present invention has a sandwiching portion which is inserted laterally into a lower horizontal member of a horizontal member such as a second-floor panel and sandwiches it, and the ceiling portion is connected to the lower portion of the sandwiching portion to provide a ceiling on the first floor side. Since a mounting hardware composed of a hanging piece for supporting the panel is configured and a leaf spring is provided for pressing and supporting the lower horizontal member to be inserted into the holding portion regardless of the plate thickness, bolts, nails, etc. are provided. There is an advantage that it can be easily attached without using the above, and its attachment position is not limited, and can be attached regardless of the plate thickness of the horizontal member.
