Now, the suspension fitting 7 of this example can be detachably connected to the support fittings 8 attached to the left and right ends of the pair of opposing frame members 3a and 3b of the outer frame body 2 formed in a rectangular shape. It consists of a hanging rod 9 that is inserted and engaged, and the support fitting 8 is attached to its mounting piece 8A.
A substantially cylindrical receiving portion 8B is integrally formed at the upper end, and an end 8C of the cylindrical receiving portion 8B is spaced apart from the upper end of the mounting piece 8A at a predetermined distance to form a groove 8D. On the other hand, an insertion part 9D is integrally formed at the end of the mounting part 9A having the threaded part 9B of the hanging rod 9, which can be inserted into the receiving part 8B and rotated, and has a retaining protrusion 9E at the tip. When the insertion portion 9D is inserted into and rotated with respect to the receiving portion 8B, the retaining protrusion 9E of the insertion portion 9D abuts and engages with the end surface of the receiving portion 8B.
