## Abstract

A double floor member is provided with: a guide rail 24 affixed to the upper face side; a first connection member 27 movable in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail 24 and engaged with the guide rail 24 so as not to be dislodged upward from the guide rail 24; and a second connection member 34 connected to the first connection member 27 so as not to lift upward from the first connection member 27. The second connection member 34 can be moved in a direction different from the longitudinal direction of the guide rail 24 by horizontally moving the position where the second connection member 34 is connected to the first connection member 27.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A double floor member for supporting equipment, the double floor member comprising:
a guide rail which is fixed to an upper surface side of the double floor member;
a first connection member which is horizontally movable along a length direction of the guide rail and is engaged with the guide rail so as to prevent the first connection member from being pulled in a vertical direction away from the guide rail; and
a second connection member configured to be fixed to said equipment and which is connected to the first connection member so as to prevent the second connection member from being lifted upwardly away from the first connection member,
wherein the second connection member is horizontally movable with respect to the first connection member in a different direction from the length direction of the guide rail.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The double floor member according to claim 1, wherein the second connection member includes an elongated through hole extending approximately vertically to the length direction of the guide rail,
wherein the second connection member is connected to the first connection member so as not to lift upward from the first connection member by being threadably fastened to the first connection member by a fixing bolt inserted into the through hole, and
wherein the second connection member is horizontally movable along a length direction of the elongated through hole.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The double floor member according to claim 1, wherein a hole for connecting a casing of the equipment is formed in the second connection member so as to be connectable via a fixing bolt.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The double floor member according to claim 3, wherein the hole for connecting the casing is formed into elongated hole to enable adjustment of a position of the casing on the second connection member.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The double floor member according to claim 1, wherein the double floor member is a floor panel.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The double floor member according to claim 1, wherein the double floor member is a frame.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The double floor member according to claim 2, wherein a hole for connecting a casing of the equipment is formed in the second connection member so as to be connectable via a fixing bolt.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The double floor member according to claim 7, wherein the hole for connecting the casing of the equipment is formed into elongated hole to enable adjustment of a position of the casing on the second connection member.

### Claim 9 (depends on 2)

The double floor member according to claim 2, wherein the double floor member is a floor panel.

### Claim 10 (depends on 3)

The double floor member according to claim 3, wherein the double floor member is a floor panel.

### Claim 11 (depends on 4)

The double floor member according to claim 4, wherein the double floor member is a floor panel.

### Claim 12 (depends on 7)

The double floor member according to claim 7, wherein the double floor member is a floor panel.

### Claim 13 (depends on 8)

The double floor member according to claim 8, wherein the double floor member is a floor panel.

### Claim 14 (depends on 2)

The double floor member according to claim 2, wherein the double floor member is a frame.

### Claim 15 (depends on 3)

The double floor member according to claim 3, wherein the double floor member is a frame.

### Claim 16 (depends on 4)

The double floor member according to claim 4, wherein the double floor member is a frame.

### Claim 17 (depends on 7)

The double floor member according to claim 7, wherein the double floor member is a frame.

### Claim 18 (depends on 8)
