Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of door devices that are installed at the entrances of buildings such as buildings and houses. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, door devices that allow a door body to open and close in the left-right direction are installed to open and close entrances to buildings such as buildings and houses. Among such door devices, there is known a so-called top-hung type in which the upper frame portion located at the upper edge of the entrance is equipped with components such as guide rails and an electric opening and closing mechanism (opening and closing device, engine), and the door body is suspended from the guide rail so that it can move freely in the left-right direction. In such a top-hung door device, there is known one in which the upper frame portion is connected to a body-side member via a connecting means (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 2515664 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the above-mentioned conventional device has a connecting means that comprises an upper connecting fitting that is fastened to the main body member and a lower connecting fitting whose lower piece is fastened to the upper frame portion, and although there is vibration-damping material between them, the upper piece of the lower connecting fitting and the lower piece of the upper connecting fitting are arranged one above the other and tightened with a bolt. On the other hand, when the door device is of the top-hung type as described above, the upper frame portion is subjected to the weight of not only the guide rails, opening and closing mechanism and other components installed within the upper frame portion, but also the weight of the door body, and as a result, the upper frame portion needs to be firmly attached to the main body. However, simply fastening the upper piece of the lower connecting fitting and the lower piece of the upper connecting fitting arranged above and below with bolts does not provide enough strength, and reinforcement to compensate for this is required, and these are the problems that the present invention aims to solve. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present invention was created in view of the above-mentioned circumstances and with the aim of solving these problems. The invention of claim 1 is a door device in which an upper frame portion located at the upper edge of the entrance section through which the door body opens and closes is connected to a hanging fitting on the main body side via a connecting means, wherein the hanging fitting is configured with a vertical piece and a lower piece portion extending from the lower edge of the vertical piece, the connecting means is configured with a first connecting fitting whose lower piece portion abuts the lower piece portion of the hanging fitting from above and whose piece portion other than the lower piece is fastened to the vertical piece portion of the hanging fitting, and a second connecting fitting whose upper piece portion is fastened to the lower piece portion of the first connecting fitting via a fastening means with its upper piece portion located above the lower piece portion of the hanging fitting, and whose lower piece portion is attached to the upper frame with its lower piece portion located below the lower piece of the first connecting fitting, and the door device is characterized in that a bolt head or nut protruding from the lower piece portion of the first connecting fitting of the fastening means passes through the lower piece portion of the hanging fitting in a loose fit. The invention of claim 2 is the door device according to claim 1, characterized in that a vibration-damping material is interposed between the lower piece portion of the first connecting fitting and the upper piece portion of the second connecting fitting. The invention of claim 3 is a door device as described in claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the through hole formed in the lower piece of the hanging fitting is connected to the outer edge of the lower piece of the hanging fitting via a communicating groove that is narrower than the outer diameter of the bolt head or nut and wider than the outer diameter of the threaded portion of the fastening means. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] According to the invention of claim 1, when the upper frame portion of the door device is connected to the suspension fitting on the frame side via the connecting means, the lower piece portion of the first connecting fitting, which is a component of the connecting means, abuts against the lower piece portion of the suspension fitting, and the piece portion other than the lower piece portion is fastened to the vertical piece portion of the suspension fitting, and the upper piece portion of the second connecting fitting is fastened to the lower piece portion of the first connecting fitting via the fastening means while being disposed above the lower piece portion of the suspension fitting, and the lower piece portion is attached to the upper frame portion while being disposed below the lower piece portion of the first connecting fitting, and the bolt protruding from the lower piece portion of the first connecting fitting of the fastening means is fastened to the lower piece portion of the suspension fitting. As a result, when the first connecting fitting constituting the connecting means is installed in such a manner that the part other than the lower part is fastened to the vertical part of the hanging fitting, and the lower part of the first connecting fitting and the upper part of the second connecting fitting are fastened via the fastening means, the bolt head or nut of the fastening means passes through the lower part of the hanging fitting that abuts the lower part of the first connecting fitting from below, in a loose-fitting manner, and the lower part of the first connecting fitting and the upper part of the second connecting fitting can be fastened in a reinforced state without tightening the lower part of the first connecting fitting to the lower part of the hanging fitting. By adopting the invention of claim 2, the vibration-damping material interposed between the lower piece of the first connecting fitting and the upper piece of the second connecting fitting can exert its three-dimensional vibration-damping function, thereby simplifying the vibration-damping structure. By adopting the invention of claim 3, when the bolt head or nut of the fastening means passes through the lower piece of the hanging hardware in a loose fit manner, the through hole formed in the lower piece of the hanging hardware communicates with the outer edge of the lower piece of the hanging hardware via a communicating groove that is narrower than the outer diameter of the passing bolt head or nut but wider than the outer diameter of the threaded portion of the fastening means.As a result, when assembling the lower piece of the first connecting hardware to the lower piece of the hanging hardware, it can be easily assembled through the communicating groove in the threaded portion, and after assembly, it is prevented from coming off through the communicating groove of the bolt head or nut that fits loosely into the through hole, so that it can be securely attached in the prevented-from-coming state even if the lower piece of the first connecting hardware is not directly fastened to the lower piece of the hanging hardware.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes an electric door system (automatic door system) that is installed to open and close an indoor / outdoor doorway E in the front-to-rear direction. The door system 1 includes a door body 2 that moves left and right to open and close the doorway E. The door body 2 is of an overhead hanging type. A hanger roller 3 attached via a bracket 3a extending upward from an upper frame 2a of the door body 2 runs on a guide rail (hanger rail) 5 that is installed inside an upper frame 4 provided at the upper edge of the doorway E, thereby opening and closing the doorway E. The door body 2 is further connected to a transmission belt 6b that is wound around an output pulley 6a of an electric opening / closing device (opening / closing device, engine) 6 installed inside one end of the upper frame 4 in the left-to-right direction. The door body 2 automatically moves left and right in response to the forward and reverse movement of the opening / closing device 6 to open and close the doorway E. Since these configurations are all conventional, further description of these configurations will be omitted. Although the door device 1 in this embodiment is a single-sliding type with a single door body 2, it goes without saying that the present invention can also be implemented in a door device with a double-sliding type. Also, although this embodiment is described as opening and closing the indoor and outdoor entrances E, it can of course also be implemented in a door device that opens and closes indoor and outdoor entrances.

[0009] The upper frame portion 4 is integrally formed as a molded member extruded from a metal material such as aluminum, and is formed in a U shape by an upper spanning piece 4a and two leg pieces 4b, 4c inside and outside the door, and is configured to accommodate various components and devices provided in the door device 1, such as the aforementioned hanger rail 5 and opening / closing mechanism 6. A lower piece 4d extends (bends) from the lower edge of each of the indoor and outdoor leg pieces 4b, 4c toward the inside in the indoor / outdoor direction (front-to-back direction), and the upper frame 2a of the door body 2 is fitted loosely between the opposing tip edges of the lower piece pieces 4d (the opposing space) to guide the left-right movement of the door body 2. Moreover, in this embodiment, the indoor-side leg piece 4b is supported (locked) so as to be swingable (openable and closable) in the indoor / outdoor direction, and is configured to serve as an inspection plate for performing maintenance on the opening / closing mechanism 6 and other components disposed within the upper frame 4.

[0010] Furthermore, an upper piece portion 4e is formed on the upper frame portion 4 with a gap above the spanning piece portion 4a, and an insertion groove 4f is formed in the upper piece portion 4e with an open upper side and located at the middle position in the indoor / outdoor direction (the central position in this embodiment). The insertion groove 4f is configured so that the bolt head 7a of the mounting bolt 7, which constitutes the bolt tightening means for fastening the upper frame portion 4 to the body side member 8 via the connecting means T described below, can be inserted into the insertion groove 4f in a manner that allows it to move freely in the left-right direction (slide freely in the left-right direction) without coming loose. Specifically, the fitting groove 4f has a groove-like portion 4g that protrudes in both the upward and downward directions relative to the upper piece portion 4e, is bent inward in the indoor / outdoor direction from the upper edge of the groove-like portion 4g, and is configured to have an opening piece portion 4h that narrows the groove opening width of the fitting groove 4f so that the threaded portion 7b of the mounting bolt 7 passes through in a loose fit, but the bolt head 7a is locked and does not slip out. The mounting bolt 7, with its bolt head 7a inserted into the insertion groove 4f, is incorporated so as to be movable left and right, with the tip edge (upper edge) of the threaded portion 7b protruding upward as a free end (free end), and is configured to be connected to connecting means T as described below.

[0011] As mentioned above, a body side member (frame member, angle member, etc.) 8 is arranged above the entrance / exit section E, and in this embodiment, a hanging fitting 9 is connected to the body side member 8 as a further body side component member, and the upper frame section 4 is connected to the hanging fitting 9 via a connecting means T equipped with a vibration-damping material 10 formed in a cylindrical shape using a rubber elastic material. The hanging hardware 9 is Z-shaped and comprises a vertical piece 9a, an upper piece 9b extending from the vertical piece 9a toward the indoor side, and a lower piece 9c extending toward the outdoor side. Incidentally, any hanging hardware 9 can be used as long as it can be connected to the frame-side member 8, and it goes without saying that a U-shaped one can also be used. On the other hand, the connecting means T comprises a first connecting fitting 11 which is L-shaped and has a vertical piece portion 11a and a lower piece portion 11b, and a second connecting fitting 12 which is U-shaped and has a vertical piece portion 12a facing the outside of the room and has an upper piece portion 12b and a lower piece portion 12c, and further the vibration-damping material 10 is interposed between the lower piece portion 11b of the first connecting fitting and the upper piece portion 12b of the second connecting fitting.

[0012] More specifically, the upper piece 9b of the hanging fitting 9 is fastened (fastened, bolted) to the body side member 8 via a bolt 8b. On the other hand, the first connecting fitting 11 constituting the connecting means T is arranged in a stacked state with its vertical piece 11a abutting against the hanging fitting vertical piece 9a from the outside of the room and its lower piece 11b abutting against the hanging fitting lower piece 9c from above, and the hanging fitting vertical piece 9a and the first connecting fitting vertical piece 11a are fastened together via a bolt 9d, thereby connecting the connecting means T to the hanging fitting 9. In this case, the hanging fitting 9 has a two-plate structure, with the vertical piece 11a and lower piece 11b of the first connecting fitting 11 abutting against the vertical piece 9a and lower piece 9c in a stacked manner, thereby providing reinforcement. In contrast, the second connecting fitting 12 has its upper piece portion 12b arranged between the stacked portion of the lower hanging fitting lower piece portion 9c and the first connecting fitting lower piece portion 11b and the upper body side member 8, and its lower piece portion 12c arranged below the stacked portion of the hanging fitting lower piece portion 9c and the first connecting fitting lower piece portion 11b, and the second connecting fitting lower piece portion 12c is connected to the upper frame portion 4 as described below.

[0013] On the other hand, as described above, the vibration-damping material 10 has a cylindrical shape, and the lower surface portion 10a and the upper surface portion 10b are integrally connected to the upper and lower surfaces of the vibration-damping material 10 (for example, by adhesive bonding or baking).However, the vibration-damping material 10 of this embodiment is provided with fastening means 14 equipped with bolts 14a for fastening the lower surface portion 10a to the lower piece portion 11b of the first connecting fitting and the upper surface portion 10b to the upper piece portion 12b of the second connecting fitting. Specifically, a nut portion 14e into which the bolt 14a is screwed is provided on the upper surface portion 10b in a state where it is embedded in the upper part of the vibration-damping material 10, and a screw portion 14c is provided on the lower surface portion 10a in a state where it protrudes downward from the lower surface portion 10a. The vibration-damping material 10 is attached in a sandwiched state between the first and second connecting fittings 11, 12, with the upper surface portion 10b of the second connecting fitting upper piece portion 12b abutting from above and the lower surface portion 10a of the first connecting fitting lower piece portion 11b abutting from below, and the bolt 14a inserted from the upper surface portion 12b of the second connecting fitting being screwed and tightened into the nut portion 14e, while the nut 14b is screwed and tightened into the threaded portion 14c that passes through the bolt hole 11c provided in the lower surface portion 11b of the first connecting fitting.By using the above-mentioned structure, the vibration-damping material 10 is sandwiched and interposed in a state that allows it to elastically deform in three-dimensional directions, that is, in the vertical and horizontal directions (front-to-back and left-to-right directions). It goes without saying that the vibration-damping material 10 can also be mounted upside down compared to the embodiment described above, between the first and second connecting fittings 11, 12. When mounted upside down, the bolt head 14d of the bolt 14a will protrude downward from the lower piece 11b of the first connecting fitting. Furthermore, the fastening means 14 for fastening the vibration-damping material 10 between the first and second connecting fittings 11, 12 is not limited to the structure described above, and may be configured, for example, to include a bolt that passes through the vibration-damping material 10 from the upper piece 12b of the second connecting fitting and extends from the lower piece 11b of the first connecting fitting, and a nut that screws onto the extended bolt; in other words, the present invention can be implemented with a structure in which the bolt 14a and threaded portion 14c in this embodiment are integrated. In this case, in this embodiment, the member to which the threaded portion 14c of the fastening means 14 is fastened is the lower piece 11b of the first connecting fitting, not the lower piece 9c of the hanging fitting, and further, these lower pieces 11b, 9c are not directly fastened to each other, and can be attached separately above and below as necessary (made possible by the elongated hole 9g), thereby ensuring that the vibration-damping material 10 can perform its vibration-damping function in three dimensions.

[0014] When the connecting means T is connected to the hanging fitting 9 as described above in a state in which the vibration-damping material 10 is tightly attached between the first connecting fitting lower piece 11b and the second connecting fitting upper piece 12b via the fastening means 14, the nut 14b and threaded portion 14c protruding downward from the first connecting fitting lower piece 11b will interfere with the hanging fitting lower piece 9c. To avoid this interference, the hanging fitting lower piece 9c has a through hole 9e formed therein that is wider than the diameter of the nut 14b protruding from the first connecting fitting lower piece 11b so that the nut 14b can fit loosely. Furthermore, the through hole 9e is opened up to the outer edge of the lower piece 9c of the hanging fitting via a communicating groove 9f, and in this case the groove width X of the communicating groove 9f is narrower than the diameter Y of the nut 14b (= the diameter of the bolt head 14d) (Y>X), so that the movement of the nut 14b is restricted, but is wider than the diameter Z of the threaded portion 14c (X>Z), so that the movement of the threaded portion 14c guided by the communicating groove 9f is permitted.

[0015] As described above, the connecting means T is integrated via fastening means 14 in a state in which the upper piece portion 12b of the second connecting fitting abuts against the upper surface portion 10b of the vibration-damping material 10, and the lower piece portion 11b of the first connecting fitting abuts against the lower surface portion 10a.When the connecting means T is connected to the upper frame portion 4 as described below, the first connecting fitting vertical piece portion 11a and the hanging fitting vertical piece portion 9a are tightened and attached via bolt 9d, thereby connecting the upper frame portion 4 to the hanging fitting 9, which is a body side member, via the connecting means T. In this case, the upper frame portion 4 is lifted as described below, and the first connecting fitting vertical piece portion 11a is fastened to the hanging fitting vertical piece portion 9a via a bolt 9d. At this time, the nut 14b and screw portion 14c protruding downward from the first connecting fitting lower piece portion 11b of the fastening means 14 must be passed through the through hole 9e formed in the hanging fitting lower piece portion 9c.

[0016] Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 10, the upper frame portion 4 is lifted slightly above the mounting position, and the screw portion 14c protruding from the nut 14b is guided into the connecting groove 9f and moved to the through hole 9e, and then the upper frame portion 4 is moved downward to insert the nut 14b into the through hole 9e.In this way, the upper frame portion 4 can be easily set on the hanging fitting 9, and then the first connecting fitting vertical piece 11a is tightened to the hanging fitting vertical piece 9a via the bolt 9d, thereby connecting the upper frame portion 4 to the hanging fitting 9 via the connecting means T. In this case, the nut 14b that has passed through the through hole 9e is prevented from coming off (retained) through the narrow communicating groove 9f, thereby enabling a secure connection.

[0017] Next, the structure of the fastening attachment between the first connecting fitting vertical piece 11a and the hanging fitting vertical piece 9a via the bolt 9d will be described in detail. The hanging fitting vertical piece 9a has elongated vertical holes 9g formed on both left and right sides that sandwich the vibration-damping material 10 in the left-right direction, while the first connecting fitting vertical piece 11a has elongated horizontal holes 11d formed on both left and right sides that sandwich the vibration-damping material 10 in the left-right direction. When the vertical pieces 9a, 11a of the hanging fitting 9 and the first connecting fitting 11 are abutted (stacked) against each other from the indoor / outdoor direction, the elongated holes 9g, 11d face each other and intersect vertically and horizontally, and by passing a bolt 9d through this intersection and tightening it, the hanging fitting 9 and the first connecting fitting 11 are connected together, in other words, the hanging fitting 9, which is the frame-side member, is connected to the connecting means T in a positioned manner. In this way, the hanging fitting 9 and the first connecting fitting 11 are configured so that the vertical pieces 9a, 11a are fastened together via bolt 9d, while the lower pieces 9c, 11b are simply stacked together, and the fastening means 14 for fastening the vibration-damping material 10 to the first and second connecting fittings 11, 12 is also structured so that it does not interfere with (is not fastened to) the hanging fitting 9.As a result, the vibration-damping material 10 is configured to ensure the three-dimensional vibration-damping function described above.

[0018] When such a bolt 9d is used to fasten the first connecting member vertical piece 11a and the hanging member vertical piece 9a, there is a risk that the second connecting member vertical piece 12a will get in the way of the fastening work. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the second connecting member vertical piece 12a is formed with cutouts 12d cut out on both the left and right sides so that the vibration-damping material 10 is sandwiched in the left-right center (middle portion), and the cutouts 12d are formed in the upper half above the first connecting member lower piece 11b, including the second connecting member upper piece 12b, and are composed of a lower half 12e where the first connecting member lower piece 11b is wide in the left-right direction and is formed in an inclined shape that narrows toward the top, and an upper half 12f set to approximately the width of the vibration-damping material 10. By configuring it in this manner, the intersecting long holes 9g, 11d can be seen through the cutout portion 12d from the side of the second connecting fitting vertical piece portion 12a, thereby improving the workability when installing the connecting means T.

[0019] Furthermore, the second connecting fitting 12 that constitutes the connecting fitting T has its lower piece 12c connected to the upper frame portion 4. In this case, a pair of bolt holes 12g are formed on the left and right sides of the lower piece 12c of the second connecting fitting, with the vibration-damping material 10 sandwiched in the left-right central portion, and the threaded portion 7b of the mounting bolt 7 that is attached and engaged in the insertion groove 4f of the upper frame portion 4 described above is inserted through and assembled into the bolt hole 12g. The lower piece 11b of the first connecting fitting has a cutout portion 11e formed therein so that the bolt hole 12g can be seen, and as will be described later, this is configured to improve workability when connecting the upper frame portion 4 to the lower piece 12c of the second connecting fitting.

[0020] Next, the structure for attaching the upper frame portion 4, to which the mounting bolts 7 are attached as described above, to the second connecting fitting 12, which is a component of the connecting means T, will be described in detail with reference to, for example, Figures 4, 7 and 15. As described above, the upper frame portion 4 has an insertion groove 4f formed in the upper piece portion 4e to allow the bolt head 7a of the mounting bolt 7 to be inserted into the upper piece portion 4e so that it can move freely in the left-right direction, and the insertion groove 4f has an opening piece portion 4h that protrudes slightly above the upper piece portion 4e.The upper piece portion 4e configured in this manner further has a pair of insertion grooves 4j formed at a position spaced apart in the front-to-back direction from the insertion groove 4f, with the extension piece portion 4i extending in an inverted L shape and opening on the inside in the indoor / outdoor direction.The insertion grooves 4j are configured so that the inner surface of the upper groove (the lower surface of the extension piece portion 4i) is higher than the upper surface of the opening of the insertion groove 4f (the upper surface of the opening piece portion 4h) by the thickness of the auxiliary member 13 described later.

[0021] The upper frame portion 4 is attached by fitting the threaded portion 7b of the mounting bolt 7, with the bolt head 7a fitted into the fitting groove 4f, into the bolt hole 12g formed in the lower piece 12c of the second connecting fitting, and tightening with the nut 7c. In this case, an attachment structure using an auxiliary member 13 is adopted to ensure strength at the attachment site and to position the temporary holding state. The auxiliary member 13 is made of a rectangular plate material having a thickness roughly corresponding to the difference in height between the inner surface of the upper groove of the aforementioned insertion groove 4j and the inner surface of the opening of the fitting groove 4f, and has a through hole 13a formed in the middle part into which the threaded portion 7b of the mounting bolt 7 fits loosely, and its length is set to a length that allows both end edge portions 13b to be inserted and engaged in the pair of front and rear insertion grooves 4j, and further has cutout portions 13c formed in a pair of corner portions located diagonally opposite both end edge portions 13b.

[0022] Then, with both end edges 13b of auxiliary member 13 facing left and right so as not to interfere with insertion groove 4j, the threaded portion 7b of the mounting bolt 7 fitted into the fitting groove 4f is inserted through the through-hole 13a, and auxiliary member 13 is rotated around the threaded portion 7b as a fulcrum so as to face forward and backward, thereby inserting the end edge 13b into the insertion groove 4j, thereby attaching auxiliary member 13 to the upper frame portion 4 in a manner that prevents it from slipping out, and thereby temporarily positioning and holding the mounting bolt 7. In this case, the mounting bolt 7 is set in the mounting position beforehand. With the auxiliary member 13 attached to the upper frame portion 4 in this manner, the nut 7c is tightened onto the threaded portion 7b protruding from the insertion groove 4f, and the upper frame portion 4 is thus fastened together with the auxiliary member 13 by tightening the nut 7c, and the both end edge portions 13b of the auxiliary member 13 are inserted and attached into the insertion groove 4j, thereby forming an attachment structure with excellent strength. Incidentally, in this embodiment, the auxiliary member 13 can be tightly attached by screwing the screw 13d inserted from the tip of one end of the auxiliary member 13 in the attachment position into tight contact with the upper piece portion 4e. Furthermore, the auxiliary member 13 may of course be attached in an arc shape that is not flat but is elastically deformable.

[0023] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when connecting and attaching the upper frame 4 to the lifting fitting 9 via the connecting means T, the upper frame 4 is lifted and assembled using a lifting means such as a sling, but in this case, the lifting can be performed with the lifting fitting 15 attached to the upper frame 4 in advance and a locking hook (not shown) on the lifting means engaged with the locking hole 15b formed in the vertical piece 15a of the lifting fitting 15. In this case, the attachment of the lifting fitting 15 to the upper frame 4 is convenient, as in the case of attaching the connecting means T to the upper frame 4, because the lower piece 15c of the lifting fitting 15 can be positioned and firmly attached to the upper frame 4 using the mounting bolt 7 with the bolt head 7a fitted in the fitting groove and the auxiliary member 13. Incidentally, by making the upper surface of the upper frame portion 4 have the above-mentioned structure, if there are mounting members for attaching to the upper surface side of the upper frame portion, such as connecting means T or lifting fittings 15, it can be configured so that they can be attached using auxiliary members 13 in the same manner as described above.

[0024] In the present embodiment configured as described above, the upper frame portion 4 that constitutes the door device 1 is connected to the hanging fitting 9 on the frame side via connecting means T. In this case, connecting means T is configured to include a first connecting fitting 11 in which the lower piece portion 11b of the first connecting fitting abuts the lower piece portion 9c of the hanging fitting from above and the vertical piece portion 11a is fastened to the vertical piece portion 9a of the hanging fitting, and a second connecting fitting 12 in which the upper piece portion 12b is arranged above the lower piece portion 9c of the hanging fitting and is fastened to the lower piece portion 11b of the first connecting fitting via fastening means 14, and the lower piece portion 12c is arranged below the lower piece portion 11b of the first connecting fitting, and is attached to the upper frame portion 4. A nut 14b protruding from the lower piece portion 11b of the first connecting fitting passes through the lower piece portion 9c of the hanging fitting in a loose fit. As a result, when the first connecting fitting 11 is in a connected state in which the vertical piece 11a is fastened to the hanging fitting vertical piece 9a, and the first connecting fitting lower piece 11b and the second connecting fitting upper piece 12b are fastened to the second connecting fitting 12 via the bolt 14a and the screw portion 14c, the nut 14b fits loosely through the through hole 9e provided in the hanging fitting lower piece 9c, which abuts the first connecting fitting lower piece 11b from below, so that the first connecting fitting lower piece 11b and the second connecting fitting upper piece 12b can be fastened in a reinforced state via the fastening means 14, without the first connecting fitting lower piece 11b being tightened to the hanging fitting lower piece 9c.

[0025] As a result of vibration-damping material 10 being interposed between the first connecting fitting lower piece 11b and the second connecting fitting upper piece 12b that are fastened in this manner, the vibration-damping material interposed therebetween can exert its vibration-damping function in three dimensions, thereby simplifying the vibration-damping structure. Furthermore, the through hole 9e formed in the hanging fitting lower piece 9c is connected to the outer edge of the hanging fitting lower piece 9c via a communicating groove 9f that is narrower than the outer diameter Y of the nut 14b and wider than the outer diameter Z of the threaded portion 14c.As a result, when the first connecting fitting lower piece 11b (the entire connecting means T) is assembled to the hanging fitting lower piece 9c, as shown in Figure 10, it can be easily assembled into the through hole 9e via the communicating groove 9f of the threaded portion 14c, and after assembly, the nut 14b that fits loosely into the through hole 9e is prevented from coming off via the communicating groove 9f, so that even if the first connecting fitting lower piece 11b is not directly fastened to the hanging fitting lower piece 9c, it can be securely attached in a prevented-from-coming state.
