A unit installation tool for installing a unit of an individual type air conditioner to a vertical member, said unit having a first engaging part disposed at an upper part of a back side of said unit, a second engaging part disposed below said first engaging part disposed at said back side of said unit, comprising;
- a yoke fitted to said vertical member with bolts,
- a holding part extended laterally for stopping said first engaging part from beneath, wherein said holding part is disposed in the upper part of said yoke,
- a position keeping part for engaging said second engaging part provided beneath said first engaging part of said unit engaged from above, for defining a distance between said vertical member and said unit,
- said position keeping part, said yoke and said holding part being mutually integrated, and
- a connecting means for defining a longitudinal movement of said unit, said connecting means disposed at at least one of said holding part and said position keeping part,
- wherein said first engaging part capable of being engaged from the upper side of said holding part, and said second engaging part capable of being engaged from the upper side of said position keeping part.
An installation tool for installing a unit of an individual type air conditioner to a vertical member
- said unit having a first engaging part disposed at an upper part of a back side of said unit, and a second engaging part disposed below said first engaging part disposed at said back side,
- said installation tool comprising;
- (a) a yoke for fixing to said vertical member,
- (b) a holding part for holding by engaging with said first engaging part so as to receive the upper portion of said unit disposed from the upper direction,
