The method of attaching the slab or the like to the equipment holding portion 42 includes the direct hanging 16 to be directly attached, the hook hardware 13, and the like.
Alternatively, the hook 15 may be used. If necessary, the height adjusting bracket 14 is attached to a part of the holder 1, and the device holder 42
And the height of the ceiling plate 43 can be adjusted.
The adjustment bracket 14 uses a chain, a bolt, or the like. At the tip of the holder 1, a mounting bracket such as a hook 11 is attached.
It can be easily attached to the device 2 with one touch. The pull bar 12 is used to pull out the holder 1 from the installation hole 41 of the ceiling plate 43. The tension bar 12 is hooked on the hook 11 of the holder 1 and pulled to a position where the device 2 can be easily connected. The number of the holders 1 to be attached to the device 2 is determined depending on the device 2,
More than one can be used.

<C> Equipment (FIGS. 1 and 2) A mounting bracket 21 for mounting the holder 1 is provided above the equipment 2. It is convenient to form a pair with the hook 11 of the holder 1 and to attach the two with one touch. Multiple holders 1
When mounting, a plurality of mounting brackets 2
1 may be arranged. Further, in order to connect the electric cable 3 to the device 2, a female connector 31 for wiring is connected to the electric cable 3, and a male connector 22 for wiring is provided on the upper portion of the device 2. By connecting the female wiring connector 31 to the electric cable 3, even a person who is not qualified as an electrician can perform installation work. The equipment 2 to be attached includes, for example, a lighting fixture, an air conditioner, a speaker, a duct, a sensor, and the like. The device 2 can be attached to the ceiling 4 in a state of a completed product in which each part is assembled.

<D> System Ceiling (FIGS. 4 and 5) Similarly, on the system ceiling 4 ′, the holder 2 having tension can be attached to the equipment holding part 42 to hold the equipment 2. Attach the equipment holding bracket 44 to the equipment holding part 42,
The device 2 is pulled up by the tension of the holder 1, pressed against the device holder 44 and held.

<E> Attachment to a wall or the like (FIGS. 6 and 7) Similarly, the wall 2 can hold the device 2 by attaching the holder 1 having tension to the device holding portion 42. The installation hole 41 is provided in the finishing surface 45, the device 2 is disposed therein, the device 2 is tensioned by the holder 1, and is held down by being pressed against the device installation portion such as the installation hole 41. Alternatively, instead of embedding the device 2 in the installation hole 41 as shown in FIG. The holder 1 may be plural or one. It is apparent that the present invention can be applied to any place where a device such as a floor is mounted instead of the wall 5.

Hereinafter, a method of mounting the equipment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. <B> The worker places the pull rod 1 on the tip of the holder 1 attached to the equipment holder 42 such as a slab, on the floor or on a low step platform.
2 and pull out the holder 1 to hand. <B> The hook 11 at the tip of the holder 1 is hooked on the mounting bracket 21 on the upper part of the device 2. At this time, the device 2 may be an assembled finished product. For example, in the case of a lighting fixture, the main body 2
3. Used in a state where the reflection plate 24 and the fluorescent lamp 25 are integrated. Therefore, the device 2 can be assembled and shipped at the factory. <C> The work of connecting the electric cable 3 to the device 2 is also performed on the floor or on a low step. Female connector 31 for wiring
And the female connector 22, the electric cable 3 can be connected to the device with one touch. <D> The device 2 is pulled up to the installation hole 41 of the ceiling plate 43 using the tension of the holder 1 contracting. Since the holder 1 expands and contracts, the device 2 can be accurately placed in the installation hole 41 even if the position of the holder 1 and the position of the installation hole 41 are shifted. The device 2 is fixed by the tension of the holder 1, but may be fixed by screws or the like as necessary. <E> Maintenance of the device 2 can be easily performed simply by pulling out the device 2 downward and removing the holder 1 and the electric cable 3.

In the case of the system ceiling 4 '(FIGS. 4 and 5), the equipment 2 can be similarly mounted on the ceiling 4'. In this case, instead of the installation hole 41, the device 2 can be pressed and attached to the device holding bracket 44. The ceiling plate 43 'is fitted after the device is attached.

[0013]

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. <A> Lighting equipment and other devices can be mounted on the floor or on a low platform with a single touch, so there is no need to bend at high places on a high platform near the ceiling, and devices can be easily and safely installed on the ceiling. can do. <B> Since a contracting holder such as a spring is used, it is not necessary to pass the suspension bolt through the mounting hole of the device, and the position can be easily adjusted. <C> Since the device is pulled by a holder such as a spring, the device can be easily brought into close contact with the installation hole. <D> The electric cable can be easily connected on the floor or on a low step. <E> Since the loosened electric cable is fixed to the holder with the auxiliary fastener, it can be easily pulled up. <F> Since the product is mounted on the ceiling in the state of a finished product, the mounting work is simplified. <G> Since the product is shipped in an assembled state, for example, in the case of a lighting fixture, parts such as a main body, a reflector, and a fluorescent lamp are not separately packed, and the amount of industrial waste is reduced. <H> Maintenance work can be facilitated by simply pulling down the lighting fixtures and other equipment from the ceiling as it is. <Re> When connecting the electric cables, they are connected by wiring connectors etc. Anyone without the qualification can install the equipment. <N> Equipment can be easily attached to walls and floors.
