Method of fixing a plurality of lower members each having reference bore for installing upper member, and fixing jigs

A method for fixing a plurality of lower members to a support member by screw members, each of the lower members being formed in each of a front portion and each of a rear portion of an upper surface of said support member, with at least one bore serving as a reference for attaching an upper member, a lower member fixing means for use in fixing at least two lower members among a plurality of the lower members so that reference bores of the lower members are arranged side by side and spaced apart by a predetermined interval, the method comprising:

• providing first and second spacing jigs, each jig having projections formed on the bottom surface thereof, arranged side by side with a spacing of the jigs equal to a predetermined interval between the reference bores, and fixing the lower members by tightening up the screw members, with the projections of the first of the spacing jigs fitted in the respective front reference bores of the lower members and with the projections of the second of the spacing jigs fitted in the respective rear reference bores of the lower members;
• and
• after fixing of the projections of the first and second jigs in the respective reference bores of the lower members, adjusting the projections of the first and second spacing jigs so as to be aligned at a right angle to the pair of front and rear corresponding projections of the two spacing jigs;
• wherein each of the spacing jigs comprises an approximately rectangular parallelepipedal body, and the adjustment is made by fitting a right angle holding jig around the bodies of the two spacing jigs, the right angle holding jig being in the form of a rectangular frame and having inner side faces positionable respectively in contact with a front side face of the first spacing jig, a rear side face of the second spacing jig, and left and right side faces of the two spacing jigs.

• where one of the plurality of lower members is unfixed, while the rest are fixed to the support member;
• and
• after fixing of the projections of the first and second jigs in the respective reference bores of the lower members, adjusting the projections of the first and second spacing jigs so as to be aligned at a right angle to the pair of front and rear corresponding projections of the two spacing jigs;
