Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of application) The present invention relates to a structure for installing a wall-embedded gas tank such as a box tank, and in particular, a gas tank that is connected to a flexible pipe inside a thin wall such as a plaster boat. It can be used effectively.

(Prior art and its problems) A typical gas tank that is buried in a wall is a box tank, and as shown in Fig. 5, a box 1 is attached and fixed to the inner surface of a wall 3, and the box 1 is fixed inside the box. A gas tank 2 is connected to a gas conduit 4 arranged parallel to the wall 3.

In this device, the plug 21 for gas connection and the operating knob 22 are exposed at the opening opened in the wall 3, making it convenient to use and preventing the gas tank from becoming jammed when not in use.

However, if the gas conduit in this gas tank installation structure is made into a flexible tube as shown by the two-dot chain line in the same figure, the flexible tube 41 may be damaged by nails or the like that are carelessly driven into the wall 3. In some cases, holes may form. This is because the wall thickness of the flexible tube is thin, and the flexible tube as a gas conduit is located close to the thin wall 3.

(Technical Problem) The present invention is designed to ensure the protection of the gas conduit in a case where a thin-walled gas conduit is connected to the gas tank body in the box and the gas conduit is placed close to and parallel to the wall. Therefore, the object is to prevent a nail that penetrates the wall from reaching the gas pipe even if it is nailed to the wall.

(Means) The technical means of the present invention for solving the above problem is to support one side of the partition plate 5 that covers the wall side of the gas conduit introduced into the box 1 at a position near the periphery of the box 1, and , it is supported so that it can swing back and forth. (See Figure 1) (Operation) The above technical means of the present invention operates as follows.

When a nail A is nailed to the wall surface 3 and is located just in front of the flexible tube 41, the tip of the nail first hits the protection plate 5. Since this protection plate is swingable, it tilts as the nail A enters, and when the protection plate 5 and the flexible tube 41 come into contact, the nail A
comes into diagonal contact with the surface of the protection plate 5,
The tip of nail A slips and bends. For thin walls,
Since the holding performance for holding the nail A in the driving direction is low, the posture may become oblique before it is bent, and the tip of the nail A does not reach the flexible tube 41.

(Effect) Rather than preventing the nail A from being driven, the protection plate bends or changes the direction away from the flexible tube 41, allowing the nail A to be driven. The flexible tube can be protected.

Moreover, since it does not prevent the driving as described above, the thickness of the protective plate 5 may be thin.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 2 to 4.

In this embodiment, a thin wall 3 made of gypsum board or the like is used.
The box 1 is fixed to the wall 3 using an auxiliary mounting plate.

This auxiliary board consists of a decorative plate 11 on the front side and a frame plate 12 on the back side for fixing the box.The flange 13 of the box 1 is fixed to the frame plate 12, and then this frame plate and the decorative plate 11 are attached. The box 1 is fixed to the wall 3 by clamping the wall 3 between the frame plate 12 and the decorative plate 11 by screwing them together.

In this case, a rectangular opening 31 provided in the box mounting portion of the wall 3 is set to a size large enough to allow the box 1 to be inserted through it, and a flexible tube 41 previously arranged in the wall 3 is inserted into the rectangular opening 31. It is pulled out through the opening 31, the gas tank 2 inside the box 1 is connected to the flexible tube 41 on the outside of the wall surface, and the flexible tube 41 is pushed into the back side of the wall 3 through the opening 31 while maintaining this connected state.

Support means 14, 14 made of wire or the like are connected in advance to the pushed-in box stock, and one end of the support means 14 is led out to the outside. After inserting the support means into the first through holes 15, 15 of the frame plate 12 and inserting the frame plate 12 inside the wall 3, the support means 1
4 and 14, the flange 13 of the box 1 will come into contact with the back side of the wall 3 via the frame plate 12, and in this state, if the decorative plate 11 and the flange 13 are screwed together, the result will be as shown in FIG. , a box stock 1 is fixed to a wall 3. Note that the supporting means 14, 14 are removed at appropriate times.

In this embodiment, a tongue piece 16 is attached to the lower side of the frame plate 12.
A long hole 17 is formed in the tongue piece 16, and a rectangular plate whose width approximately matches the diameter of the flexible tube 41 is used as the protection plate 5. A bent piece 51 is connected to the upper end of the rectangular plate. It has been set up. Therefore, in this conventional device, the protection plate 5 can be swingably attached to a predetermined position simply by inserting the protective plate 5 into the elongated hole 17 after attaching the box stock. This elongated hole may be provided on the box 1 side.

If the protective plate 5 is provided with a large number of cuts 52, 52 at a predetermined pitch on the tip side as shown in FIG. The length of the protective plate can be adjusted according to the distance to the horizontal beam. That is, it is sufficient to cut off the tip side from a specific cut according to the length, and the cutting can be performed without using a tool.
