Abstract
Disclosed herein is a mounting structure for sprinklers. In the sprinkler mounting structure of the present invention, a latitudinal support unit has an elastic unit at each of opposite ends thereof, so that the latitudinal support unit can be reliably mounted to a pair of longitudinal support units merely by pushing the latitudinal support unit downwards on the longitudinal support unit. Furthermore, a mounting bracket, which is movably fitted over the latitudinal support unit to be adjusted in position, firmly holds a sprinkler reducer only by the rotation of a locking unit, coupled to the mounting bracket, in a predetermined direction.
Claims15
A mounting structure for sprinklers, comprising:
- a pair of longitudinal support units, with a first stop part provided along an upper end of each of the longitudinal support units;
- a latitudinal support unit having bent parts at opposite ends thereof, each of the bent parts comprising:
- a first lower stopper formed by cutting a part of a lower end of each of the bent parts of the latitudinal support unit and bending the cut part in a predetermined direction;
- a first upper stopper provided at a predetermined position spaced apart from the first lower stopper by a height of the first stop part of the longitudinal support unit;
- and
- a pair of first notches formed at predetermined positions on the latitudinal support unit over the first upper stopper;
- a first elastic unit fastened at opposite ends thereof to the first notches of the latitudinal support unit, the first elastic unit being bent downwards and extending to a predetermined length, with a first bent hook provided on a lower portion of the first elastic unit and being elastically hooked to a lower portion of the first stop part of the longitudinal support unit;
- and
- sprinkler head mounting means coupled to the latitudinal support unit to hold a sprinkler head.
A mounting structure for sprinklers, comprising:
- a longitudinal support unit, with a first stop part provided along an upper end of the longitudinal support unit;
- a latitudinal support unit coupled at a predetermined position thereof to the upper end of the longitudinal support unit;
- a mounting bracket, comprising:
- a mounting hole defined at a predetermined position on the mounting bracket to allow the mounting bracket to be fitted over the latitudinal support unit;
- a mouth defined at a first end of the mounting bracket;
- and
- a reducer holding part provided at a second end of the mounting bracket in a predetermined shape to correspond to a shape of a cross-section of a sprinkler reducer;
- and
- a locking unit coupled to the first end of the mounting bracket at which the mouth is defined, the locking unit comprising:
- a compressing part bent towards the latitudinal support unit based on a rotational axis of the locking unit, so that, when the locking unit is rotated around the rotational axis thereof in a predetermined direction while the sprinkler reducer is inserted into the holding part of the mounting bracket, the mounting bracket is moved by the compressing part towards the latitudinal support unit, thus supporting the sprinkler reducer between the holding part of the mounting bracket and the latitudinal support unit.
