Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a circulator with an improved mounting structure of a circulator main body attached to a pair of to-be-attached parts.

In a conventional circulator, when the circulator body is attached to an attachment point, such as a room wall, the hooking piece provided on the upper part of the circulator body is attached to the hooking piece of the support that is attached to the room wall with a plurality of mounting screws. The structure is such that they intertwine.

By the way, if furniture such as a chest of drawers or a heater such as a stove is installed below the circulator body due to the arrangement of furniture and fixtures in the room,
Air circulation from the outlet at the bottom of the circulator body may be obstructed by furniture, resulting in poor air circulation.
The air may blow against the heater, causing incomplete combustion, or the hot air rising from the heater may cause deterioration or other adverse effects on the circulator body. Therefore, in such cases, the circulator It is necessary to change the mounting position of the main unit.

However, when changing the mounting position of the circulator main body in the conventional configuration described above, it is necessary to remove the support screwed to the room wall and replace it at the new mounting position, so changing the mounting position is troublesome. Also, after the mounting screws were removed, screw holes remained on the wall of the room, detracting from its aesthetic appearance.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide an engaged member at the attachment site, and to engage an engaging member that is movably laterally engaged with the engaged member on the circulator body. one of the engaged member and the engaging member is formed in a horizontally elongated shape, and a plurality of engaging members are provided between the engaged member and the engaging member. By providing an articulating mechanism for selectively positioning the circulator body, the circulator body can be moved from side to side with a simple operation depending on the room conditions, and the circulator body does not have to worry about spoiling its aesthetic appearance. It is on offer.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a plastic circulator main body with a built-in air blower (not shown), and an inlet 2 is formed in the upper surface 1a of the circulator, and a filter 3 is provided in the inlet 2.
Further, a discharge port 4 is formed in the lower surface portion 1b, and a wind direction plate 5 is pivotally provided at a portion in front of the discharge port 4 (on the left side in FIG. 1) so as to be rotatable in the front-rear direction.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a plastic guide rail which is an engaging member integrally provided on the back surface 1c of the circulator main body 1, and this is a rectangular bar-shaped that is elongated from side to side (in Fig. 2), that is, elongated from side to side. A slit-shaped insertion hole 7 is formed in the back plate portion 6a, and a plurality of, for example, five, engagement holes are formed in the upper plate portion 6b at a predetermined interval from side to side to form an articulation mechanism 8. Hole 9, 9. The reference numeral 310 in which .
is formed to bulge out toward the rear, and the upper plate portion 10
b includes two engaging protrusions 12 that form part of the articulation mechanism 8;
．． 12 is formed to protrude upward.

Thus, this support 10 is attached to the room wall 15 of the room 14 by screwing the mounting screws 13 (only one shown) inserted into the mounting protrusions 11, 11 from inside into the room wall 15 of the room 14.
5, and the circulator body 1 is attached to
By fitting and engaging the guide rail 6 into the support 10 from one end side, it is supported by the support 10 so as to be movable in the left-right direction, that is, in the lateral direction.

In this case, the mounting protrusion 11.11 of the support 10 projects rearward from the insertion hole 7 of the guide rail 6.

When the guide rail 6 is engaged and supported by the support 10, the engagement holes 9, 9.・
One of the engagement holes 9 is adapted to be elastically engaged with the engagement protrusion 12.12 of the support 10,
Therefore, the articulation mechanism 8 positions and holds the circulator body 1 at any desired position.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.

When the blower device inside the circulator body 1 is activated, the blower sucks warm air above the circulator body 1 through the suction port 2 and discharges it downward from the discharge port 4 along the wind direction plate 5 as shown by the arrow 16. This allows air circulation within the room 14.

In such a case, when furniture or a heater is installed below the circulator body 1, if a pressing force is applied to the circulator body 1 in the left or right direction, one of the guide rails 6 will engage. Hole 9 and support 10
The connection with the engaging protrusion 12.12 is released, and the circulator body 1 is articulated to the left or right, and then the circulator body 1 is moved to a position that does not correspond to the furniture or heater, etc. In this state, any engagement hole 9 of the guide rail 6 is engaged and held by the engagement protrusion 12 of the support 10.

According to this embodiment, the guide rail 6 is provided on the circulator body 1, and the guide rail 6 is connected to the room wall 15.
Since it is fitted and engaged with the support 10 attached to the circulator so as to be movable in the left-right direction, that is, in the lateral direction, it can be used when furniture, a heater, etc. are installed in the lower part of the circulator body 1, etc. is the circulator body 1
The circulator body 1 can be moved to a position that does not correspond to the furniture or the heater etc. by a simple operation of applying a pressing force to the left or right. The flow of the air from the outlet 4 will not be obstructed by furniture, resulting in poor air circulation, and there will be no problems such as the air being blown onto the heater and causing incomplete combustion in the heater. Furthermore, the circulator main body 1 is not affected by adverse effects such as deterioration due to the hot air from the heater.

Further, according to this embodiment, five engagement holes 9, 9 . Since the articulation mechanism 8 consisting of ... and two engaging protrusions 12, 12 is provided, the circulator main body 1 can be moved left and right and held at a desired position, This has the advantage that the mounting state of the circulator body 1 becomes stable.

Moreover, according to this embodiment, there is no need to remove the mounting screws from the room wall 15 in order to change the position of the circulator body 1, so unlike the conventional case, there is no need to remove the mounting screws from the room wall 15, which would spoil the aesthetic appearance. Never.

In the above embodiment, the guide rail 6 is provided on the circulator body 1 and the support 10 is provided on the room wall 15, but this is reversed, that is, the guide rail 6 is provided on the room wall 15 as the engaged member. The supporting member 10 may be provided as an engaging member in the circulator main body 1, and in short, one of the engaged member and the engaging member may be formed into a horizontally elongated shape.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, but can be implemented with various modifications without departing from the gist.

As explained above, in the present invention, an engaged member is provided in the attached portion, an engaging member is provided in the circulator body to be engaged with the engaged member in a manner that is movable in the lateral direction, and these engaged members are provided in the circulator body. A joint in which one of the member and the engaging member is formed in a laterally elongated shape, and the engaging member is selectively positioned at a plurality of positions between the engaged member and the engaging member. Since the moving mechanism is provided, it is possible to provide a circulator in which the circulator main body can be moved to the right or left by a simple operation depending on the situation of the room, and there is no need to worry about spoiling the aesthetic appearance.
