DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0013] In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a storage device, which is an intake valve inspection device that is installed and used in a predetermined installation space (such as a relatively narrow space within a wall) within a building such as a house.

[0014] In other words, the storage device 1 is an intake valve storage box (a box device with a lid) in which a drainage intake valve 2 is stored removably to prevent the seal of a drainage trap from breaking in the drainage equipment (toilet, kitchen, bathroom, etc.) of a building, which is a structure.

[0015] The intake valve (vent valve) 2 for draining the stored items stored in the storage device 1 is connected to the upstream end (top end) of the connecting piping, vent pipe 3. The downstream end of the vent pipe 3 is connected to a drain pipe (horizontal drainage branch pipe, etc.) which is a drainage means connected to the drainage equipment of the building, not shown, and when negative pressure occurs in this drain pipe, the intake valve 2 operates to relieve the negative pressure.

[0016] As shown in Figures 1 to 7, the storage device 1 is fixed to a plasterboard 11, which is a front wall member serving as a fixed part, and is equipped with a storage device main body 6 in which the intake valve 2 is stored so that it can be taken in and out through a rectangular opening 5, and a detachable rectangular plate-shaped lid body 7 that opens and closes the opening 5 of the storage device main body 6.

[0017] The storage device 1 also includes a detachable holder (stopper) 8 that holds and positions the intake valve 2 in the storage device main body 6 that is fixed to the plaster board 11.

[0018] Here, a relatively narrow space (installation space) 13 of a predetermined size exists between gypsum board (fixed portion) 11, which is the front wall member, and gypsum board 12, which is the rear wall member facing it at a distance. These front and rear gypsum boards 11, 12, which face each other at a distance, are fixed to and attached to building components, i.e., left and right pillar members 15, battens 16, and cross beams 17 (they may be fixed only to pillar members 15).

[0019] The two plasterboards 11, 12, which are the front and rear wall members, form a vertical wall portion 10 having a space portion 13 inside in which a storage body 21, which will be described later, can be installed.

[0020] The horizontal batten (horizontal member) 16 is the upper mounting portion, and the housing body 21 may be attached to the batten 16, which is the upper mounting portion. In other words, the housing body 21 may be fixedly attached to the batten 16 located above the housing body 21 using screws 9, which are mounting members.

[0021] Furthermore, the vertical pillar member (vertical member) 15 is a mounting portion on the lateral side, and the housing body 21 may be mounted to this lateral mounting portion, the pillar member 15. That is, the housing body 21 may be fixedly mounted to the pillar member 15 located on the lateral side (left side or right side) of the housing body 21 using screws 9, which are mounting members.

[0022] In this way, it is optional to attach the storage body 21 of the storage device main body 6 to either the pillar member 15 of the building or the batten 16, and this differs depending on, for example, the situation at the construction site.

[0023] Furthermore, a rectangular opening (inspection hatch that is a wall opening) 18 is formed in the plasterboard 11, which is the front wall member, and is positioned so as to overlap with the opening 5 of the storage device main body 6. This opening 18 matches (or roughly matches) the opening 5 of the storage device main body 6, and an example of the opening dimensions is "vertical dimension a = 82 mm, horizontal dimension b = 153 mm" (see Figure 1).

[0024] When the opening 5 of the storage device main body 6 is closed by the lid 7, the opening portion 18 of the wall portion 10 is also closed at the same time, and when the opening 5 is opened, the opening portion 18 is also opened at the same time.

[0025] The storage device main body 6 comprises a box-shaped storage body (box main body) 21 with an opening at the front, in which the intake valve 2 is stored so as to be able to be taken in and out through the opened opening 5 (space portion overlapping the wall opening) when the opening 5 is open, a frame-shaped frame body (fixed frame) 22 fixedly attached to the storage body 21, fixed to a peripheral portion 19 of the gypsum board 11 located around the opening portion 18, and clamping the peripheral portion 19 of the gypsum board 11 together with the storage body 21 from the front and back, a male screw 23 which is an attachment engaging body for fixedly attaching the frame body 22 to the storage body 21, and a cylindrical connecting joint (socket which is a connecting member) 24 which is fixed to a downwardly protruding tubular portion 25 of the storage body 21 and to which the upper end of the ventilation pipe 3 is connected.

[0026] The intake valve 2 is detachably attached to the lower plate 42 of the housing 21 via a packing 26, which is an elastic member, and this attached intake valve 2 is connected to the upper end of the vent pipe 3 via a connection joint 24 and communicates with the inside of the vent pipe 3. The multiple, i.e., two, male screws (screw members) 23 are, for example, flat-head tapping screws.

[0027] The intake valve 2 is designed to relieve negative pressure when it occurs in a drain pipe connected to the building's drainage system, thereby preventing the seal of the drain trap from breaking.As shown in Figure 8, etc., it comprises a main body 31 having a cylindrical connection port 30 connected via a connection joint 24 to the upstream end of a vent pipe 3 whose downstream end is connected to a drain pipe (not shown), a cover body 32 fitted onto this main body 31, and multiple, i.e., two, valve bodies 35 which are arranged so as to be able to move up and down within a valve chamber 33 formed between the main body 31 and the cover body 32 and which open and close the outside air intake port 34 of the main body 31.

[0028] The valve body 35 is composed of, for example, a valve main body member 36, a rubber sheet 37, and a rubber sheet retaining member 38, and under normal conditions (no load), it is in contact with the valve seat portion 39 of the main body 31, closing the outside air intake portion 34. However, when negative pressure occurs in the drain pipe, the valve body 35 rises due to atmospheric pressure and moves away from the valve seat portion 39, opening the outside air intake portion 34.

[0029] When this negative pressure occurs, the valve element 35 rises, opening the outside air intake port 34, and outside air (air) is drawn in through the open outside air intake port 34 and supplied to the valve chamber 33. This outside air (air) is then sent to the drain pipe through the vent pipe 3, alleviating the negative pressure in the drain pipe. As a result, the water seal of the drain trap of the drainage equipment is protected, and water is smoothly discharged from the drain pipe.

[0030] As shown in Figures 9 to 12, the storage body (box main body) 21 is in the shape of a box with a front opening 41, and has a rectangular lower plate portion 42, left and right side plate portions 43 that are erected on the side ends (both left and right ends) of the lower plate portion 42 and are spaced apart and facing each other, a rear plate portion 44 that connects the rear ends of the left and right side plate portions 43, an upper plate portion 45 that is spaced apart and faces the lower plate portion 42, a downward-protruding tubular portion 25 that protrudes downward from the center of the lower plate portion 42, and an inclined plate portion 47 that is low in the front and high in the rear and is formed between the lower plate portion 42 and the rear plate portion 44 (including a curved or arc-shaped portion; the same applies below).

[0031] The inclined plate portion 47, which is positioned between the lower plate portion 42 and the rear plate portion 44 and has a downwardly sloping front, is formed longitudinally in the left-right direction, and its left-right ends are connected to the side plate portions 43. Triangular downwardly sloping inclined surfaces 48 are formed at the left-right ends of the inclined plate portion 47 (the lower corners of the storage body).

[0032] A circular hole 51 is formed in the center of the lower plate 42, and the tubular portion 25 protrudes downward from the periphery of this hole 51. The lower plate 42 also has a front plate portion 52 at its front end, which is elongated in the left-right direction, and a recessed positioning mark 53 is provided in the left-right center of the front surface of this front plate portion 52.

[0033] The side plate 43 has an upper inclined portion 55 that is inclined so that it is positioned more inward (inner side) toward the upper end. A rectangular cutout 56 that opens forward is formed in front of the inclined portion 55 and extends from the front end of the side plate 43 to the center (including approximately the center) in the front-to-rear direction. In other words, the side plate 43 has a vertical portion 57 that is positioned vertically, and an inclined portion 55 that is erected only behind the upper end of the vertical portion 57 and is inclined inward with respect to the vertical direction.

[0034] Furthermore, in the vertical portion 57 of the side plate portion 43, a plurality of mounting holes 58, e.g., two, one at the top and one at the bottom, elongated in the front-to-rear direction are formed through which the screws 9 are inserted when the housing 21 is fixedly attached to the post member 15, which is the attachment portion on the lateral side, using the screws 9. The mounting holes 58 are formed in the vertical portion 57 of the side plate portion 43 so as to be located a predetermined distance (e.g., 15 mm) from the front end of the side plate portion 43, and the rear end of these mounting holes 58 opens at the side end of the rear plate portion 44.

[0035] Furthermore, on the inner surface (inner surface) of the vertical portion 57 of the side plate portion 43, a screw receiving portion 60, which is an inward-protruding engaging receiving portion into which the male screw 23 is screwed and which engages with the male screw 23, is protruded inward so as to be located a predetermined distance (e.g., 18 mm) from the front end portion of the side plate portion 43.

[0036] The screw receiving portion 60 has a cylindrical portion 64 in which a longitudinal screw hole 61 is formed, into which the male screw 23 is screwed. The screw hole 61 of the cylindrical portion 64 is connected to a longitudinal groove-like space 59, the rear end of which opens at the side end of the rear plate portion 44.

[0037] The screw receiving portion 60 has an inclined upper surface 62 that is inclined downwards toward the inner end, and the inclined upper surface 62 gradually slopes downwards as it moves away from the inner surface of the vertical portion 57. A recessed positioning mark 63 is provided in the vertical center of the front surface of the side plate portion 43.

[0038] When the housing body 21 is fixedly attached to the batten 16, which is the upper attachment portion, using the screws 9, the upper plate portion 45 has plate-like attachment portions 65 at both left and right ends that are triangular in front view and come into surface contact with the batten 16 for fixed attachment. In other words, the left and right side ends of the upper plate portion 45 are made up of plate-like attachment portions (attachment plate portions) 65, and each of these attachment portions 65 is located more inward than the vertical portion 57 of the side plate portion 43.

[0039] The mounting portion 65 has a plurality of mounting holes 66, e.g., two mounting holes 66 at the front and rear, elongated in the front-rear direction, through which the screws 9 are inserted when the housing 21 is fixedly mounted to the batten 16 using the screws 9. The mounting portion 65 also has an inclined lower surface 67 that is inclined so that it is positioned higher towards the outer end, and this inclined lower surface 67 is inclined so that it gradually rises as it moves away from the outer surface of the inclined portion 55. The mounting portion 65 also has a horizontal upper surface 68 that is in planar contact with the batten 16.

[0040] The mounting portions 65 are arranged above the inclined portions 55 and the cutout portions 56 of the side plate portions 43 so as not to protrude outward (outward) from the vertical portions 57 of the side plate portions 43. In other words, the mounting portions 65 on both left and right ends of the upper plate portion 45 are arranged in the upper regions of the inclined portions 55 and the cutout portions 56 of the side plate portions 43, and the outer ends (tapered tips) 65a of the mounting portions 65 are located above the upper ends of the vertical portions 57 of the side plate portions 43 in a front view.

[0041] In other words, the tip (tip surface) 65a of the mounting portion 65 is located on an extension line L of the outer surface of the vertical portion 57 of the side plate portion 43 in a front view (see FIG. 11). Therefore, for example, when the vertical portion 57 of the side plate portion 43 is fixed to a vertical column member 15 with a screw 9, the mounting portion 65 of the upper plate portion 45 does not get in the way, and the vertical portion 57 can be fixed vertically to the column member 15 so as to maintain the horizontal position of the storage body 21. Note that, for example, although not shown, the tip 65a of the mounting portion 65 may be located more inward than the extension line L in a front view.

[0042] 11(a) and 11(b), there is a working space 69, triangular in front view, between the mounting portion (portion for mounting to the batten) 65 of the upper plate portion 45 of the housing body 21 and the inclined portion 55 of the side plate portion 43, which is used when screwing a screw 9, which is a mounting member for mounting the housing body 21 to the batten 16, into the batten 16 through a mounting hole 66 of the mounting portion 65. The angle formed by the inclined lower surface 67 of the mounting portion 65 and the inclined upper surface 70, which is the outer surface of the inclined portion 55, which are spaced apart and face each other via this space 69, is, for example, 90 degrees (including approximately 90 degrees).

[0043] 11(b), in a front view, the inclination angle θ of the inclined portion 55 with respect to the vertical direction (the angle formed between the inclined upper surface 70 and the extension line L) is preferably, for example, 25 to 35 degrees, and more preferably, for example, 30 degrees. Note that, of the mounting portion 65, the inner surface 65b facing the mounting hole 66 is an inclined surface, while the outer surface 65c facing the mounting hole 66 is a vertical surface.

[0044] The upper plate 45 has a front plate portion 71 at its front end, which is elongated in the left-right direction, and a recessed positioning mark 72 is provided at the center of the front surface of the front plate portion 71 in the left-right direction.

[0045] Furthermore, a holder mounting portion 73, to which the holder 8 is detachably attached, protrudes downward from the rear side of the inner surface (lower surface) of the upper plate portion 45, and this holder mounting portion 73 has a groove-like space 74 that is T-shaped when viewed from the front.

[0046] The fitting portion 79 of the holder 8 is removably fitted into the groove-like space 74 of the holder mounting portion 73, and the intake valve 2 is pressed and held from above by the holding plate portion 80 of the holder 8. A recessed portion 75 is formed on the outer surface (top surface) of the upper plate portion 45, and this recessed portion 75 is recessed into the top surface of the housing body 21 so as to be located between the left and right mounting portions 65.

[0047] A cross-shaped, concave positioning mark 76 is provided on the inner surface (front surface) of the rear panel 44. This cross-shaped mark 76 in front view is made up of a vertical mark portion 77 that is elongated in the up-down direction and is located in the left-right central portion of the inner surface of the rear panel 44 so as to correspond to the upper and lower marks 53, 72 on the front surface, and a horizontal mark portion 78 that is elongated in the left-right direction and is located in the up-down central portion of the inner surface of the rear panel 44 so as to correspond to the left and right marks 63, 63 on the front surface.

[0048] As shown in Figures 13 to 16, the frame body (fixed frame) 22 is a rectangular frame (square tube) with an inner space 81, and has a rectangular, annular, plate-shaped frame main body 82 that is slightly larger than the opening 18 of the gypsum board 11, a covering portion 83 that is a short, square tube-shaped cylindrical portion that protrudes rearward from the inner peripheral end of the frame main body 82 and covers the entire surface of the surface 20 of the gypsum board 11 facing the opening 18 (the cut surface of the gypsum board), and left and right inclined plate-shaped closing portions 84 that protrude rearward from the covering portion 83 and close the cutout portions 56 of the side panel portions 43 of the storage body 21.

[0049] The left and right slanted closing sections 84, which are spaced apart and facing each other, are formed in a slanted shape so that the upper ends are positioned more inward (inside) in the vertical direction, similar to the slanted sections 55 of the side panel sections 43 of the storage body 21. The opening 5 of the storage device main body 6 is a spatial section formed by the inner space 81 of the frame body 22 and the front opening 41 of the storage body 21, and this opening 5 is positioned so as to overlap with the opening section 18 of the gypsum board 11 after the storage device 1 is installed.

[0050] Near each of the four corners of the frame main body 82, circular through-holes 86 are formed penetrating the front and rear surfaces of the frame main body 82. Also, near each of the four corners of the frame main body 82, rectangular engagement holes 87 for attaching a lid are formed penetrating the front and rear surfaces of the frame main body 82 so as to be positioned next to the through-holes 86.

[0051] The cover part 83 has an upper plate part 91, a lower plate part 92, and left and right side plate parts 93, and each side plate part 93 is composed of a vertical vertical plate 95, an inclined upper inclined plate 96 connected to the upper end of the vertical plate 95, and an inclined lower inclined plate 97 connected to the lower end of the vertical plate 95. In addition, inclined closing parts 84 protrude rearward from the rear ends of the left and right upper inclined plates 96.

[0052] Furthermore, recessed positioning marks 98, 99, 100 extending in the front-rear direction are provided at the left-right center of the upper plate portion 91, the left-right center of the lower plate portion 92, and the up-down center of the left and right side plate portions 93. In other words, the frame 22 is provided with the linear up-down, left-right marks 98, 99, 100 extending in the front-rear direction at four locations corresponding to the up-down, left-right marks 53, 63, 72 of the storage body 21.

[0053] Furthermore, a cylindrical screw insertion portion 101 that receives and receives the male screw 23 is provided on the inner surface (inner side surface) of the vertical plate 95 of the side plate portion 93 and protrudes inward. The screw insertion portion 101 is formed with a screw insertion hole 102 that faces and separates from the screw hole 61 of the screw receiving portion 60 of the housing 21.

[0054] The closing portion 84 is formed larger than the notched portion 56 of the side plate portion 43 of the storage body 21, and is capable of closing the entire (including substantially the entire) notched portion 56. The closing portion 84 has an inclined inclined plate 103 and a curved plate 104 connected to the upper end of the inclined plate 103, and the curved plate 104 is formed in a curved shape that convexly extends upward.

[0055] The lid 7 closes the opening 5 of the storage device main body 6 when attached to the frame 22, and opens the opening 5 of the storage device main body 6 when removed from the frame 22.

[0056] As shown in Figures 17 to 20, the lid body 7 has a flat, rectangular lid main body portion 111 that opens and closes the opening 5 of the storage device main body 6, an upper plate portion 112 that protrudes rearward from the upper end of the lid main body portion 111, a lower plate portion 113 that protrudes rearward from the lower end of the lid main body portion 111, and left and right side plate portions 114 that protrude rearward from the side ends of the lid main body portion 111.

[0057] Further, longitudinal ventilation cutouts (intake ports) 116, 117 are formed in the bottom plate 113 and the left and right side plate portions 114. Therefore, when the intake valve 2 is activated (when a load is generated), air in the room facing the cover 7 is drawn in through the cutouts 116, 117 and supplied to the intake valve 2 through the opening 5.

[0058] Furthermore, near each of the four corners on the inner surface (rear surface) of the lid main body 111, engagement protrusions 118 are provided protruding rearward to releasably engage with engagement holes 87 of the frame main body 82 of the frame 22. The lid 7 is attached to the frame 22 by engagement between the engagement protrusions 118 and the engagement holes 87, and the lid 7 is removed from the frame 22 by disengaging the engagement protrusions 118 from the engagement holes 87. Each engagement protrusion 118 is formed with an elastically deformable engagement claw 119 that is inserted into the engagement hole 87 and releasably engages with the engagement hole 87.

[0059] Next, the installation procedure (construction procedure) of the storage equipment 1 will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0060] That is, for example, referring to Figures 21 to 32, the construction procedure for attaching and installing the upper plate portion (upper surface portion) 45 of the storage body 21 to a horizontal abutment (upper mounting portion) 16 erected between the left and right pillar members 15 of a building will be described, but the procedure is basically the same when attaching and installing the side plate portion (side surface portion) 43 of the storage body 21 to a vertical pillar member (lateral mounting portion) 15.

[0061] Note that the rear gypsum board 12 is not shown in the drawings. Depending on the conditions of the construction site, for example, the rear gypsum board 12 may be attached after the storage device 1 is installed, the gypsum board 11 may be attached after the storage device 1 is installed, and then the opening 18 may be formed, or the gypsum board 11 with the opening 18 formed in advance may be attached. Thus, there are various construction patterns (construction methods) and construction procedures depending on the construction company, the structure of the building, etc.

[0062] First, as shown in FIG. 21, a plurality of screws, for example, four screws 9 are used to securely attach the housing 21 to a predetermined position of the batten 16 (a position indicated in the blueprint of the building).

[0063] More specifically, the worker uses the outer work space 69 to screw (drive) the screw 9 obliquely into the backing 16 through the mounting hole 66 using a tool such as a screwdriver, thereby fixing and attaching the mounting part 65 of the storage body 21 to the backing 16.

[0064] Next, as shown in FIG. 22, the front gypsum board 11 is attached so that the rear surface of the front gypsum board 11 comes into contact with the front surface of the storage body 21.

[0065] Next, as shown in FIG. 23, a cross-shaped center line (reference line) 121 indicating the position of the storage body 21 is marked at a predetermined position on the gypsum board 11 (a position indicated in the blueprint of the building).

[0066] Next, as shown in Figures 24 and 25, the frame body 22 is pressed against the gypsum board 11 and positioned in a predetermined position so that the cross-shaped center line 121 and the positioning marks (center lines) 98, 99, and 100 of the frame body 22 are aligned and continuous, and then four dot marks 122 are drawn on the gypsum board 11 using the four through holes 86 of the frame body 22.

[0067] More specifically, the worker inserts the tip of a writing implement such as a pencil into the through-holes 86 and marks the gypsum board 11 with dots 122 at four locations that face the through-holes 86 .

[0068] 26, these four dot marks 122 are connected by four straight lines 123. That is, the four straight lines 123 that form a rectangular mark 124 indicating the position of the opening portion 18 (opening guide line that is a cutting mark indicating the cutting position of the gypsum board) are marked on the gypsum board 11.

[0069] Next, as shown in Figure 27, drill holes 126 into which a cutting tool, a pull saw 120, is inserted are formed using a drill at multiple locations on the gypsum board 11 located near the inside of a rectangular mark 124 formed by four straight lines 123.

[0070] Next, as shown in FIG. 28, a pull saw 120 is inserted into the drill holes 126, and the pull saw 120 is used to cut the gypsum board 11 so as to pass through each of the through holes 126.

[0071] This cutting creates a cut opening 127 through which the storage body 21 is visible, and the worker can check whether the position of the storage body 21 is correct by checking whether the cross-shaped positioning mark 76 on the storage body 21 matches the center line 121 drawn on the gypsum board 11.

[0072] Next, as shown in FIG. 29, while looking into the storage body 21 through the cutting opening 127, the gypsum board 11 is cut along the rectangular mark 124 using a pull saw 120 to form a rectangular opening portion 18.

[0073] That is, with the tip of the pull saw 120 inserted into the housing 21 through the cutting opening 127, the pull saw 120 is moved vertically and horizontally to draw a rectangle along the flat inner surface of the housing 21, thereby cutting the gypsum board 11. It is difficult to cut at an angle with the pull saw 120.

[0074] When cutting with this pull saw 120, a forward-opening cutout portion 56 is cut out in front of the inclined portion 55 of the side panel portion 43 of the storage body 21, and the screw receiving portion 60 and the holder mounting portion 73 are arranged to be located a predetermined distance behind the front end (front surface) of the storage body 21, so that the inclined portion 55, the screw receiving portion 60 and the holder mounting portion 73 do not get in the way of the cutting work, and the rectangular opening portion 18 can be formed easily, efficiently and neatly using the pull saw 120, resulting in good workability.

[0075] After the opening 18 is formed, the gypsum board debris (chips of gypsum board, etc.) inside the storage body 21 is cleaned and removed using a cleaning tool such as a small vacuum cleaner or broom.

[0076] In this case, since storage body 21 has an inclined plate portion (chamfered portion) 47 that is low in the front and high in the rear formed between lower plate portion 42 and rear plate portion 44, gypsum board waste is less likely to accumulate in corners within storage body 21, making cleaning easy. Also, screw receiving portion 60 has an inclined upper surface 62 that is inclined so that it is positioned lower towards the inner end, so gypsum board waste is less likely to land on inclined upper surface 62 of screw receiving portion 60, and even if it does land on it, it is easy to drop off, making cleaning easy in this respect as well.

[0077] 29(c), four surfaces (cut surfaces of the gypsum board) 20 of the gypsum board 11 facing the square opening 18 are exposed, but the cut surfaces 20 surrounding the square opening 18 are entirely covered by a cylindrical covering portion 83 of the frame body 22, as will be described later. The front-to-rear length dimension of the covering portion 83 is preferably greater than the front-to-rear length dimension (width dimension) of the cut surfaces 20 of the gypsum board 11, but may be the same dimension.

[0078] Next, as shown in FIG. 30, the frame body 22 is fixedly attached to the housing body 21 using a plurality of male screws 23, for example, two screws.

[0079] Then, the storage body 21 and the frame body 22 clamp the peripheral portion 19 of the gypsum board 11 located around the opening portion 18, and the storage device main body 6 consisting of both the storage body 21 and the frame body 22 is fixed to the peripheral portion 19.

[0080] The cut surface 20 of the gypsum board 11 is covered by the cylindrical covering portion 83 of the attached frame body 22, thereby preventing gypsum board debris from the cut surface 20 from entering the storage body 21 after the frame body 22 is attached. Also, the cutout portion 56 of the storage body 21 is closed by the plate-shaped closing portion 84 of the attached frame body 22, thereby preventing dust, dirt, etc. inside the wall portion 10 from entering the storage body 21 through the cutout portion 56 after the frame body 22 is attached.

[0081] Therefore, foreign matter such as gypsum board debris, dust, and dirt can be prevented from entering the intake valve 2, and since the gypsum board debris inside the storage body 21 can be easily cleaned as described above, problems such as odor leakage from the intake valve 2 can be appropriately prevented.

[0082] On the other hand, when the frame body 22 is attached to the storage body 21, if gypsum board debris falls from the cut surface 20 into the storage body 21, the debris is cleaned up again using a cleaning tool such as a small vacuum cleaner or broom.

[0083] More specifically, by utilizing the hole portions (through holes 86, engagement hole portions 87) formed on the left and right end sides of the lower part of the frame main body portion 82 of the frame body 22 and located near the front of the lower corners of the storage body 21, it is possible to partially remove gypsum board debris on the lower plate portion 42 that has fallen into the storage body 21 (see Figure 30(c)).

[0084] In this case, if the gypsum board residue cannot be sucked up with a vacuum cleaner, it can be removed by using a special suction nozzle with a thin tip to suck it up through the hole, or by using an air blow spray or the like to blow it out through the hole and remove it.

[0085] Next, as shown in Figure 31, the connection port portion 30 of the intake valve 2 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 25 through the hole portion 51 of the lower plate portion 42 of the housing body 21, and the intake valve 2 is fitted into the inner side of the connection joint 24 to be housed in the housing body 21. Next, the holder 8 is inserted into the housing body 21 and attached to the holder attachment portion 73.

[0086] That is, the intake valve 2 is stored in the storage body 21 in a horizontal position without being tilted, i.e., in the storage space 130, which is the internal space of the storage body 21, and then the stored intake valve 2 in a horizontal position is held by the holder 8 so that the horizontal position is maintained. This allows the horizontal position of the intake valve 2 to be maintained within the storage body 21.

[0087] 32, the engaging projection 118 of the lid 7 is inserted into the engaging hole 87 of the frame 22, and the lid 7 is attached to the front side of the frame 22 to close the opening 5 and the opening portion 18. Thereafter, the downstream end of the vent pipe 3 is connected to the drain pipe using a joint, pipe, etc.

[0088] In this way, the installation work of the storage device 1 is completed. However, for example, if the intake valve 2 needs to be inspected or replaced after being used for a long period of time, only the cover body 7 can be removed from the frame body 22, and the intake valve 2 can be taken in and out of the storage space 130 in the storage body 21 through the opening 5, so the frame body 22 can remain attached to the storage body 21.

[0089] According to the storage device 1 described above, the storage device main body 6 comprises a storage body 21 in which the intake valve 2 is stored so that it can be taken in and out through the open opening 5 when the opening 5 is open, and a frame body 22 attached to the storage body 21 and fixed to the gypsum board 11, and the storage body 21 has left and right side panel portions 43 that are spaced apart and opposite each other, and each of the side panel portions 43 has an inclined portion 55 that is inclined so that it is positioned more inward as it approaches the upper end, so that it can be made more compact than conventional configurations, and further, by installing the storage device 1 according to the installation procedure described above, it can be installed easily and efficiently, improving workability.

[0090] In addition, the lid body 7 has ventilation cutouts 116, 117 formed in the lower plate portion 113 and the side plate portion 114 to ensure a certain level of ventilation, while the front of the lid main body portion 111 facing the room is formed in a flat, plate-like shape to improve design.

[0091] Furthermore, the frame body 22 has a tubular covering portion (extending rib) 83 that covers the cut surface 20, which is the surface of the gypsum board 11 that is the fixed portion and faces the opening portion 18, thereby preventing gypsum board debris from scattering from the cut surface 20 and effectively preventing the intake valve 2 from coming into contact with the cut surface 20 when the intake valve 2 is inserted into or removed from the storage body 21.

[0092] The frame 22 of the storage device 1 is not limited to that described in the above embodiment, and may be, for example, that shown in FIG.

[0093] The frame body 22 shown in Figure 33 does not have a circular through hole 86, and only engagement hole portions 87' that can be detachably engaged with the engagement protrusions 118 of the lid body 7 are formed near each of the four corners of the frame main body portion 82 of this frame body 22, penetrating the front and rear surfaces of the frame main body portion 82.

[0094] The engagement hole 87' is formed at the position of the through-hole 86 shown in Fig. 15 etc., which is different from the position of the engagement hole 87. Therefore, like the through-hole 86 shown in Fig. 15 etc., the engagement hole 87' can be used to mark the mark 122 or to clean off gypsum board debris.

[0095] 33 has left and right vertical closing plate portions 133 that close the mounting holes 58 in the side plate portions 43 of the storage body (box main body) 21. Therefore, when the frame body 22 is attached to the storage body 21, the entire mounting hole 58 of the storage body 21 (including substantially the entire mounting hole) is closed by the closing plate portions 133, so that it is possible to prevent (suppress) foreign matter such as dust and dirt from entering the storage body 21 through the mounting hole 58 after the frame body 22 is attached.

[0096] On the other hand, the cover 7 of the storage device 1 is not limited to that described in the above embodiment, and may be, for example, that shown in FIG.

[0097] The lid body 7 shown in Figure 34 does not have ventilation notches 116, 117 formed in the lower plate portion 113 and the side plate portion 114, but instead has multiple ventilation elongated holes (air intake ports) 131 formed in the center of the lid main body portion 111 of the lid body 7, which are elongated in the left-right direction and penetrate the front and rear surfaces of the lid main body portion 111.

[0098] When the intake valve 2 is activated (when a load is generated), air in the room facing the lid 7 is sucked in (intaken) through the elongated hole 131 and supplied to the intake valve 2 through the opening 5. Although not shown, the lid may have both a ventilation notch and an elongated hole formed therein. Alternatively, the lid may have a ventilation notch formed only in the bottom plate (bottom surface) of the lid, or a ventilation notch formed only in the left and right side plate (side surfaces) of the lid.

[0099] Furthermore, the storage body 21 of the storage device 1 is not limited to that described in the above embodiment, and may be, for example, that shown in FIG.

[0100] The mounting holes 58 of the side plate portions 43 of the storage body 21 shown in Fig. 35 have a shorter length in the front-to-rear direction than those shown in Fig. 1, etc., so that they can be used with gypsum boards 11 of different thicknesses. When the frame body 22 shown in Fig. 33 is used, for example, the entire mounting hole 58 (including substantially the entire mounting hole) is closed by the closing plate portion 133 of the frame body 22, even if the thickness of the gypsum board 11 is relatively large.

[0101] Furthermore, the storage body 21 of the storage device 1 may be, for example, as shown in FIG.

[0102] 11 and the like, the mounting portion 65 of the storage body 21 shown in Fig. 36 has an inclined lower surface 67a and a horizontal lower surface 67b connected to the outer end of the inclined lower surface 67a. In other words, the lower surface of the mounting portion 65 is made up of the inclined lower surface 67a and the horizontal lower surface 67b, and the horizontal lower surface 67b is located outward of the mounting hole 66. Note that, for example, although not shown, the lower surface of the mounting portion 65 may be made up of only the horizontal lower surface.

[0103] Furthermore, the storage body 21 of the storage device 1 may be, for example, as shown in FIG.

[0104] 37 does not have an inclined portion 55, unlike the one shown in FIG. 1 etc., and a rectangular notch (wide slit portion) 135 is formed on the upper side (top) of this side plate 43, cutting out from the front end to the rear end of the side plate 43. In other words, the rectangular notch 135 is formed between the upper end 43a of the side plate 43 and the outer end 65a of the attachment portion 65. The outer end 65a of the attachment portion 65 is located directly above the upper end 43a of the side plate 43.

[0105] When using a storage body 21 having such left and right cutouts 135, when fixing the storage body 21 to the batten 16, the screw 9 can be screwed into the batten 16 from the mounting hole 66 either from the inside or the outside of the storage body 21.

[0106] It should be noted that the configuration is not limited to the one shown in Figure 37 above, in which the cutout portion 135 is formed from the front end to the rear end of the side plate portion 43, and may be, for example, a configuration in which the cutout portion 135 is formed from the front end to the vicinity of the rear end of the side plate portion 43.

[0107] On the other hand, the storage device main body (storage device) is not limited to one having a storage body in which the intake valve is stored and a separate frame body, but may also be one consisting only of a storage body (box main body) formed in a box shape, for example.

[0108] Furthermore, the lid that can open and close the opening of the storage device main body is not limited to a detachable one, and may be configured, for example, such that the lid is rotatably attached to the storage device main body.

[0109] Furthermore, the storage body, frame body, connecting joint (socket), lid body, and holder body are preferably made of, for example, a relatively lightweight synthetic resin, but are not limited to synthetic resin and may be made of other materials.

[0110] Although several embodiments and modifications of the present invention have been described, it is also possible to combine the embodiments and modifications as appropriate without departing from the gist of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
