Claims28
An indoor device for a cassette type air conditioner, the indoor device comprising:
- a cabinet, in which a heat exchanger and a blower fan are mounted, the cabinet being configured to be installed on a ceiling in an indoor space;
- a panel that defines a bottom surface of the cabinet, the panel having at least one suction hole and at least one discharge hole;
- a suction grill mounted to cover the at least one suction hole;
- at least one fixing member disposed at a first side of the suction grill, the at least one fixing member being fixed to a first side of the panel to restrict movement of the first side of the suction grill;
- at least one switching member disposed on a second side of the suction grill and facing the at least one fixing member, the at least one switching member being selectively fixed to a second side of the panel to restrict movement of the second side of the suction grill;
- and
- a suction grill restricter disposed on each of third and fourth sides of the suction grill between the at least one fixing member and the at least one switching member, the suction grill restricters being coupled to each of third and fourth sides of the panel to restrict movement of the third and fourth sides of the suction grill.

An indoor device for an air conditioner, the indoor device comprising:
- a case, in which are disposed a heat exchanger and a fan;
- a panel disposed at a bottom of the case, wherein the case is configured to be mounted in a ceiling of an indoor space with the panel viewable to a user, the panel comprising a suction hole disposed at a central portion of the panel and a plurality of discharge holes that extend along sides of the panel between the suction hole and an outer edge of the panel;
- a suction grill mounted to cover the suction hole;
- at least one fixing member disposed at a first side of the suction grill, the at least one fixing member being fixed to a first side of the panel to fix the first side of the suction grill to the panel;
- at least one switching member disposed on a second side of the suction grill and facing the at least one fixing member, the at least one switching member being selectively fixed to a second side of the panel to fix the second side of the suction grill to the panel;
- and
- a pair of suction grill restricters disposed, respectively, at a central portion of third and fourth sides of the suction grill, the pair of suction grill restricters being coupled to third and fourth sides of the panel to fix the third and fourth sides of the suction grill to the panel.
