JPH0942776A - Fixing means for wall mounting member - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing means capable of assuredly preventing the rattle of a wall mounting member. SOLUTION: Fixing means 15 and 16 comprise base parts 15a and 16a attached to the back face plate 13 of a device, parts 15b and 16b fixed to a wall and step parts 15c and 16c formed in the intermediate parts therebetween. In the fixing means 15 and 16, the attached base parts 15a and 16a are provided with protrusions 15g and 16g having the same dimensions as those of the step parts 15c and 16c ad protruding rearward. The protrusions 15g and 16g abut against members to be attached in the wall side for fixing the fixed parts 15b and 16b so that the attached base parts 15a and 16a are supported by the protrusions 15g and 16g. Thus, their support rigidity is improved and the rattle of the device is assuredly prevented.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fixture for fixing a wall-mounted device such as a water heater to a wall-side attached member.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a fixture of this type is composed of a plate material having a stepped portion in the middle thereof, and an attachment base portion continuous to one end of the stepped portion is superposed on the back surface of a wall-mounted device and fixed with screws or the like. The fixing portion, which is continuous with the other end of the step portion and extends with a gap from the back surface of the device, is fixed to the member to be attached on the wall side.

[0003]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The above-mentioned conventional fixture is
The mounting base is cantilevered with respect to the member to be mounted on the wall side via the step portion, and there is a problem that the device rattles due to the bending of the step portion. In view of the above points, an object of the present invention is to provide a fixture capable of fixing a wall-mounted instrument to a wall-side member to be attached without rattling.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object,
The present invention relates to a fixture that is attached to the back surface of a wall-mounted device and that extends to a wall with a gap between a mounting base portion that is fixed to the back face of the device by being superimposed and fixed to the back surface of the device. In the structure including the fixing portion and the step portion between the attachment base portion and the fixing portion, the attachment base portion is provided with a protrusion projecting backward with the same dimension as the step dimension of the step portion.

According to this structure, when the fixing portion is fixed to the member to be attached on the wall side, the protrusion abuts on the member to be attached, the attachment base is supported by the protrusion, and its supporting rigidity is increased, and the rattling of the device Sticking is prevented.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 is a water heater main body, and a gas burner 2 and a heat exchanger 3 using the burner 2 as a heat source are provided in the main body 1. Further, a water system valve unit 5 connected to the water pipe joint 4 at the lower end and a gas system valve unit 7 connected to the gas pipe joint 6 at the lower end are provided.

On the downstream side of the water valve unit 5, a heat exchange channel 8 passing through the heat exchanger 3 and a bypass channel 9 are connected, and the downstream end of the heat exchange channel 8 and the downstream end of the bypass channel 9 are connected. Mixing part 1 provided at the center of the lower end of the water heater body 1
The hot water outlet head 11 was connected to the mixing portion 10 via a flexible tube 12 at a flow rate of 0.

The water heater body 1 is composed of a rear plate 13 and a front cover 14, and the upper and lower parts 1 attached to the rear plate 13
It is fixed to the member to be attached on the wall side by a pair of steel plate fixing tools 15 and 16.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the fixtures 15 and 16 are attached to the rear plate 13 and are attached to the base portions 15a and 16a.
fixing portions 15b and 16b for the wall, which extend in the up-down direction with a gap between a and the back plate 13, and the mounting base 1.
Step portion 1 between 5a, 16a and fixing portions 15b, 16b
5c and 16c. Mounting bases 15a, 16a
Is fixed to the back plate 13 with screws 17 so as to be superposed on the outer surface of the back plate 13, and the fixing portions 15b and 16b are mounted on the wall side in the plurality of long hole-shaped mounting holes 15d and 16d. It is screwed to the member. In addition, upper and lower fixing portions 15b of the fixing member 15 are formed with upper and lower two-stage hooking holes 15e, and one hooking hole 15e is engaged with a hooking member to be attached to a wall-side member to be attached. There is.

Reinforcing ribs 15f and 16f are formed on the stepped portions 15c and 16c in order to increase bending rigidity. It is not possible to reliably prevent backlash. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the mounting base 15
a and 16a are provided with protrusions 15g and 16g protruding backward with the same size as the step size of the step parts 15c and 16c, and when the fixing parts 15b and 16b are fixed to the wall-side attached member,
The projections 15g and 16g come into contact with the member to be mounted, and the mounting base 1
5a and 16a are supported by the projections 15g and 16g so that their supporting rigidity is enhanced. The protrusion 15
g and 16g are formed by cut-and-raised pieces formed on the mounting base portions 15a and 16a.

By the way, the fixtures 15, 1 to the back plate 13
When mounting 6, the fixtures 15 and 16 are placed on the jig, the back plate 13 is placed thereon, and the screws 17 are attached to the mounting bases 15a and 16a of the fixtures 15 and 16 through the back plate 13. Although it is screwed in, if the protrusions 15g and 16g are formed as described above, the postures of the fixtures 15 and 16 are stable, and the screw fixing work becomes easy. The fixtures 15 and 16 can be fixed to the back plate 13 by spot welding or the like at the attachment bases 15a and 16a.

Although the embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a fixture for a water heater has been described above, the present invention can be similarly applied to a fixture for other wall-mounted appliances.

[0013]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, since the support rigidity of the mounting base portion of the fixture is enhanced, it is possible to reliably prevent rattling of the wall-mounted device.
