DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The following describes embodiments of the subject matter of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each drawing, identical or corresponding parts are designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations are appropriately simplified or omitted. Note that the subject matter of the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments, and any component of the embodiments may be modified or omitted within the scope of the gist of the present disclosure.

[0010] Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an elevator car on which on-car equipment is to be installed by an on-car equipment mounting device for an elevator according to the first embodiment. A car entrance / exit 101 for passengers to enter and exit the interior of the car 100 is provided at the front of the car 100 which moves up and down in the hoistway. A car ceiling panel 102 is fixed to the top of the car 100. The car ceiling panel 102 is arranged horizontally. A ceiling baseboard 103, a first fixing member 104, and a second fixing member 105 are fixed to the upper surface of the car ceiling panel 102.

[0011] The ceiling baseboard 103 is arranged along the outer periphery of the car ceiling panel 102. In this embodiment, the ceiling baseboard 103 has a rectangular frame shape.

[0012] The first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 are each arranged inside the ceiling baseboard 103. The first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 are arranged parallel to each other along the upper surface of the car ceiling panel 102. As a result, the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 are provided at the top of the car 100 facing each other in the horizontal direction. The area between the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 is an inter-fixing member area A.

[0013] The first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 are fixed to the car ceiling panel 102 and the ceiling baseboard 103, respectively. As a result, the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 each serve as a reinforcing member that reinforces the car ceiling panel 102.

[0014] For example, when the elevator is renovated, on-car equipment is installed by an on-car equipment mounting device on the top of the car 100. Examples of on-car equipment include an on-car station that controls internal equipment installed inside the car 100.

[0015] FIG. 2 is a top view showing a state in which on-car equipment is installed on the upper part of the car 100 of FIG. 1 by an on-car equipment mounting device. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in FIG. 2. Note that FIG. 3 shows the on-car equipment and the on-car equipment mounting device in a cross section taken along line III-III in FIG. 1. The on-car equipment mounting device 1 has a pair of equipment supports 2. Each equipment support 2 is attached to a first fixing member 104 and a second fixing member 105, respectively. The on-car equipment 106 is attached to each equipment support 2. As a result, the on-car equipment 106 is attached to each of the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 via the pair of equipment supports 2. The on-car equipment 106 is installed on the upper part of the car 100 by being attached to each of the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, respectively.

[0016] 3, the first fixing member 104 has a vertical plate portion 104a and a flange portion 104b. In the first fixing member 104, the vertical plate portion 104a is fixed upright to the upper surface of the car ceiling panel 102. In addition, in the first fixing member 104, the flange portion 104b protrudes horizontally from the upper edge of the vertical plate portion 104a toward the opposite side from the inter-fixing-member region A.

[0017] The second fixing member 105 has a vertical plate portion 105a and a flange portion 105b. In the second fixing member 105, the vertical plate portion 105a is fixed upright to the upper surface of the car ceiling panel 102. In addition, in the second fixing member 105, the flange portion 105b protrudes horizontally from the upper edge of the vertical plate portion 105a toward the area A between the fixing members.

[0018] Each of the equipment supports 2 has a first unit member 21, a second unit member 22, and a plurality of member fixing members 23.

[0019] Each equipment support body 2 has a plurality of unit members, namely, a first unit member 21 and a second unit member 22. Therefore, in this embodiment, the number of unit members in each equipment support body 2 is two, that is, the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22.

[0020] A first unit member 21 and a second unit member 22 are continuously slidably connected in each equipment support 2. In this embodiment, since there are two unit members in each equipment support 2, the unit member located at one end of each equipment support 2 is the first unit member 21, and the unit member located at the other end of each equipment support 2 is the second unit member 22.

[0021] Each equipment support 2 is extendable and contractible by two consecutive unit members, that is, a first unit member 21 and a second unit member 22, sliding relative to each other.

[0022] Here, Fig. 4 is a top view showing the first unit member 21 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the first unit member 21 of Fig. 4. The first unit member 21 has a unit member main body portion 211 and a protruding piece 212. The unit member main body portion 211 is a plate-like portion that extends along the direction in which the equipment support body 2 can expand and contract. A unit member elongated hole 21a is provided in the unit member main body portion 211 along the direction in which the equipment support body 2 can expand and contract, i.e., the longitudinal direction of the unit member main body portion 211.

[0023] In the first unit member 21, a protruding piece 212 is provided at one of both end portions of the unit member main body 211, the end portion farther from the second unit member 22. The protruding piece 212 protrudes from the unit member main body 211 in a direction intersecting the direction in which the equipment support body 2 is extendable and retractable. In this embodiment, the plate-shaped protruding piece 212 protrudes from the unit member main body 211 in the thickness direction of the unit member main body 211. In this embodiment, the first unit member 21 is arranged with the protruding piece 212 facing downward.

[0024] In the first unit member 21, a plate-shaped equipment mounting portion 213 to which the on-car equipment 106 can be attached is provided on the unit member main body 211. The equipment mounting portion 213 is a protruding portion that protrudes from at least a part of the unit member main body 211 in the width direction of the unit member main body 211. The width direction of the unit member main body 211 is a direction perpendicular to both the longitudinal direction and the thickness direction of the unit member main body 211. In this embodiment, the unit member main body 211, the protruding piece 212, and the equipment mounting portion 213 are formed by processing a single metal plate.

[0025] Two device mounting holes 213a are provided in the device mounting portion 213. In the present embodiment, each device mounting hole 213a is provided as a round hole penetrating the device mounting portion 213. The device mounting holes 213a are positioned apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the first unit member 21.

[0026] Fig. 6 is a top view showing the second unit member 22 of Fig. 3. Fig. 7 is a perspective view showing the second unit member 22 of Fig. 6. The second unit member 22 has a unit member main body portion 221 and a protruding piece 222. The unit member main body portion 221 is a plate-like portion that extends along the direction in which the equipment support body 2 can expand and contract. The unit member main body portion 221 has a unit member elongated hole 22a that extends along the direction in which the equipment support body 2 can expand and contract, i.e., the longitudinal direction of the unit member main body portion 221.

[0027] In the second unit member 22, a protruding piece 222 is provided at one of both end portions of the unit member main body 221, the end portion farther from the first unit member 21. The protruding piece 222 protrudes from the unit member main body 221 in a direction intersecting the direction in which the equipment support 2 can extend and retract. In this embodiment, the plate-shaped protruding piece 222 protrudes from the unit member main body 221 in the thickness direction of the unit member main body 221. In this embodiment, the second unit member 22 is arranged with the protruding piece 222 facing downward. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second unit member 22 does not have an equipment mounting portion 213 on the unit member main body 221 like the first unit member 21. In this embodiment, the unit member main body 221 and the protruding piece 222 are formed by processing a single metal plate.

[0028] 2 and 3, the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22 are connected to each other with the unit member main body portion 211 and the unit member main body portion 221 overlapping each other. That is, two consecutive unit members are connected to each other with the unit member main body portions of the two unit members overlapping each other.

[0029] The plurality of component fasteners 23 slidably connect two consecutive unit components, i.e., the first unit component 21 and the second unit component 22. In this embodiment, the number of component fasteners 23 connecting the first unit component 21 and the second unit component 22 to each other is two.

[0030] When the unit member main body 211 and the unit member main body 221 are overlapped with each other, at least a portion of the unit member elongated holes 21a and 22a overlap with each other. The component fasteners 23 are passed through the unit member elongated holes 21a and 22a to connect the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22 to each other. The component fasteners 23 are arranged at positions spaced apart from each other in the extension and contraction direction of the equipment support 2.

[0031] Each component fixing device 23 is a fastener having a bolt and a nut. In each component fixing device 23, a nut is screwed onto a bolt that is passed through the unit component elongated hole 21a and the unit component elongated hole 22a. Each component fixing device 23 fastens the unit component main body portion 211 and the unit component main body portion 221 together between the head of the bolt and the nut, thereby fixing the unit component main body portion 211 and the unit component main body portion 221 to each other. This makes it possible for each component fixing device 23 to fix the first unit component 21 and the second unit component 22 to each other. When the first unit component 21 and the second unit component 22 are fixed to each other, the equipment support body 2 cannot expand or contract, and the length of the equipment support body 2 is fixed.

[0032] The state in which the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22 are fixed to each other can be released by loosening all of the fastening bolts and nuts in each member fixing device 23. When the state in which the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22 are fixed to each other is released, the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22 become slidable relative to each other.

[0033] In each equipment support 2, the distance between the protruding piece 212 of the first unit member 21 and the protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22 changes in accordance with the expansion and contraction of the equipment support 2. That is, the distance between the protruding piece 212 of the first unit member 21 and the protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22 becomes shorter when the equipment support 2 contracts, and becomes longer when the equipment support 2 expands.

[0034] In this embodiment, each equipment support 2 is arranged in an inter-fixing member area A, which is an area between the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105. As shown in Fig. 3, the pair of equipment supporters 2 are arranged at positions spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105. The pair of equipment supporters 2 are arranged in the inter-fixing member area A with their equipment mounting portions 213 facing each other.

[0035] Each equipment support 2 presses the first unit member 21 against the first fixing member 104 from the inter-fixing member area A, and presses the second unit member 22 against the second fixing member 105 from the inter-fixing member area A. As a result, each equipment support 2 receives compressive forces in opposite directions from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105. When each equipment support 2 receives compressive forces from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22 are fixed to each other by the member fixing devices 23, and the length of each equipment support 2 is fixed. When each equipment support 2 receives compressive forces from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, it is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 by being stretched between the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105.

[0036] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, each equipment support 2 is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 with the protruding piece 212 of the first unit member 21 pressed against the vertical plate portion 104a of the first fixing member 104 and the protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22 pressed against the vertical plate portion 105a of the second fixing member 105.

[0037] The on-car equipment 106 is mounted across the pair of equipment supports 2 and attached to equipment mounting portions 213 provided on each of the pair of equipment supports 2. The on-car equipment 106 is also attached to each equipment mounting portion 213 by a plurality of equipment fixing devices 107 passed through each equipment mounting hole 213a. Therefore, in this embodiment, the on-car equipment 106 is attached to each equipment mounting portion 213 by four equipment fixing devices 107.

[0038] Each equipment fixing device 107 is a fastener having a bolt and a nut. In each equipment fixing device 107, a nut is screwed onto a bolt that is passed through a through-hole (not shown) provided in the mounting portion of the on-car equipment 106 and an equipment mounting hole 213a. Each equipment fixing device 107 fastens the mounting portion of the on-car equipment 106 and the equipment mounting portion 213 together between the head of the bolt and the nut, thereby fixing the mounting portion of the on-car equipment 106 to the equipment mounting portion 213.

[0039] Next, a description will be given of a procedure for attaching the on-car equipment 106 to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 by the on-car equipment mounting device 1. When attaching the on-car equipment 106 to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, a pair of equipment supports 2 are attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105.

[0040] When attaching the equipment supports 2 to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, the component fixing devices 23 are loosened to contract the equipment supports 2, and the pair of equipment supports 2 are then placed in the inter-fixing member area A between the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105. At this time, the pair of equipment supports 2 are placed at positions spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105.

[0041] Thereafter, the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22 are slid relative to each other while extending each device support 2, and the first unit member 21 is pressed against the first fixed member 104, and the second unit member 22 is pressed against the second fixed member 105. At this time, in this embodiment, the protruding piece 212 of the first unit member 21 comes into contact with the vertical plate portion 104a of the first fixed member 104, and the protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22 comes into contact with the vertical plate portion 105a of the second fixed member 105.

[0042] Thereafter, with the first unit member 21 pressed against the first fixing member 104 and the second unit member 22 pressed against the second fixing member 105, the member fixing devices 23 are tightened to fix the length of each equipment support 2. Once the length of each equipment support 2 is fixed, each equipment support 2 receives compressive forces in opposite directions from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, and is placed in a tensioned state between the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105. As a result, each equipment support 2 is held between the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, and is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105.

[0043] Thereafter, the mounting portions of the on-car equipment 106 are placed on the equipment mounting portions 213 of each of the pair of equipment supports 2. At this time, the positions of the mounting portions of the on-car equipment 106 are aligned with the positions of the respective equipment mounting holes 213a. Thereafter, the mounting portions of the on-car equipment 106 are fixed to the respective equipment mounting portions 213 by a plurality of equipment fasteners 107 passed through the respective equipment mounting holes 213a. In this way, the on-car equipment 106 is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 via the pair of equipment supports 2.

[0044] In this on-car equipment mounting device 1, the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22, which are two consecutive unit members, slide relative to each other, thereby enabling the equipment support body 2 to expand and contract. In the equipment support body 2, a member fixing device 23 can fix the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22 to each other. The first unit member 21 is provided with an equipment mounting portion 213 to which an on-car equipment 106 can be attached. By pressing the first unit member 21 against the first fixing member 104 and the second unit member 22 against the second fixing member 105, the equipment support body 2 is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 in a state in which the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 apply forces in opposite directions to each other. The first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 are provided facing each other on the upper part of the car 100.

[0045] Therefore, one end of the equipment support 2 can be attached to the first fixing member 104 and the other end can be attached to the second fixing member 105 without performing processing such as drilling on the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105. This makes it possible to stabilize the attachment state of the equipment support 2 to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105. Therefore, by attaching the on-car equipment 106 to the equipment attachment portion 213 of the equipment support 2, the load of the on-car equipment 106 can be supported at both ends of the equipment support 2, and the on-car equipment 106 can be stably supported by the equipment support 2. Therefore, the on-car equipment 106 can be stably installed above the car 100.

[0046] Furthermore, by pressing the first unit member 21 against the first fixing member 104 from the inter-fixing member area A, and pressing the second unit member 22 against the second fixing member 105 from the inter-fixing member area A, the equipment support body 2 receives compressive forces in opposite directions from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105. This allows the equipment support body 2 to be tensioned between the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, and the equipment support body 2 can be easily and stably attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105.

[0047] Embodiment 2 FIG. 8 is a top view showing a state in which on-car equipment is installed on the top of the car by the on-car equipment mounting device according to the second embodiment. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IX-IX in FIG. 8. In the first unit member 21, a plate-shaped equipment mounting portion 213 protrudes from the entire area of ​​the unit member main body 211 in the longitudinal direction of the first unit member 21. The equipment mounting hole 213a provided in the equipment mounting portion 213 is an elongated hole that extends in the longitudinal direction of the first unit member 21, i.e., the direction in which the equipment support body 2 can expand and contract. In this embodiment, the length of the equipment mounting hole 213a is the same as the length of the unit member elongated hole 21a. Other configurations of the first unit member 21 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0048] In the second unit member 22, a plate-shaped device mounting portion 223 to which the on-car device 106 can be attached is provided on the unit member main body 221. The device mounting portion 223 is a protruding portion that protrudes from at least a part of the unit member main body 221 in the width direction of the unit member main body 221. The width direction of the unit member main body 221 is a direction perpendicular to both the longitudinal direction and the thickness direction of the unit member main body 221. In this embodiment, the plate-shaped device mounting portion 223 protrudes from the entire range of the unit member main body 221 in the longitudinal direction of the second unit member 22. In this embodiment, the unit member main body 221, the protruding piece 222, and the device mounting portion 223 are formed by processing a single metal plate.

[0049] The equipment mounting portion 223 is provided with equipment mounting holes 223a. In this embodiment, an elongated hole penetrating the equipment mounting portion 223 is provided as each equipment mounting hole 223a. The equipment mounting holes 223a are elongated holes that run along the longitudinal direction of the second unit member 22, i.e., the direction in which the equipment support body 2 is extendable and contractible. In this embodiment, the length of the equipment mounting holes 223a is the same as the length of the unit member elongated holes 22a. Other configurations of the second unit member 22 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0050] In each equipment support body 2, the on-car equipment 106 is attached to an equipment mounting portion 213 provided on the first unit member 21 and an equipment mounting portion 223 provided on the second unit member 22. The on-car equipment 106 is attached to the equipment mounting portion 213 and the equipment mounting portion 223 by an equipment fixing device 107 passed through the equipment mounting hole 213a and an equipment fixing device 107 passed through the equipment mounting hole 223a.

[0051] The equipment fastener 107 passed through the equipment mounting hole 213a fastens the mounting portion of the on-car equipment 106 and the equipment mounting portion 213 together between the head of a bolt and a nut, thereby attaching the mounting portion of the on-car equipment 106 to the equipment mounting portion 213. Furthermore, the equipment fastener 107 passed through the equipment mounting hole 223a fastens the mounting portion of the on-car equipment 106 and the equipment mounting portion 223 together between the head of a bolt and a nut, thereby attaching the mounting portion of the on-car equipment 106 to the equipment mounting portion 223.

[0052] The equipment fixing device 107 passed through the equipment mounting hole 213a can be moved relative to the first unit member 21 along the equipment mounting hole 213a in the longitudinal direction of the first unit member 21 by loosening the fastening of the equipment fixing device 107. The equipment fixing device 107 passed through the equipment mounting hole 223a can be moved relative to the second unit member 22 along the equipment mounting hole 223a in the longitudinal direction of the second unit member 22 by loosening the fastening of the equipment fixing device 107. As a result, the position of the on-car equipment 106 relative to each equipment support body 2 can be adjusted relative to the equipment support body 2 in the extension / contraction direction of the equipment support body 2 by loosening the fastening of each equipment fixing device 107. The other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0053] Next, a description will be given of the procedure for attaching the on-car equipment 106 to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 by the on-car equipment mounting device 1. When attaching the on-car equipment 106 to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, a pair of equipment supports 2 are attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

[0054] Thereafter, the mounting portion of the on-car device 106 is placed on the device mounting portion 213 and the device mounting portion 223 of each device support 2. At this time, the position of the mounting portion of the on-car device 106 is aligned with the position of the device mounting hole 213a and the device mounting hole 223a, respectively. Thereafter, the mounting portion of the on-car device 106 is fixed to the device mounting portion 213 and the device mounting portion 223 by the device fixing device 107 passed through the device mounting hole 213a and the device fixing device 107 passed through the device mounting hole 223a. At this time, the position of the on-car device 106 relative to the device support 2 is adjusted along the device mounting hole 213a and the device mounting hole 223a, and the mounting portion of the on-car device 106 is fixed to the device mounting portion 213 and the device mounting portion 223. In this way, the on-car device 106 is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 via the pair of device supports 2.

[0055] In such an on-car equipment mounting device 1, an equipment mounting portion 213 is provided on the first unit member 21, and an equipment mounting portion 223 is provided on the second unit member 22. The on-car equipment 106 is mounted on each of the equipment mounting portion 213 and the equipment mounting portion 223. Therefore, even if the size of the on-car equipment 106 is larger than the length of the first unit member 21, the on-car equipment 106 can be mounted on the equipment support body 2.

[0056] Furthermore, the equipment mounting holes 213a provided in the equipment mounting portion 213 and the equipment mounting holes 223a provided in the equipment mounting portion 223 are elongated holes along the extendable direction of the equipment support body 2. The on-car equipment 106 is attached to the equipment mounting portion 213 and the equipment mounting portion 223 by an equipment fixing device 107 passed through the equipment mounting hole 213a and an equipment fixing device 107 passed through the equipment mounting hole 223a.

[0057] Therefore, the position of the equipment fixing device 107 relative to the equipment support 2 can be adjusted not only within the range of the equipment mounting portion 213 provided on the first unit member 21, but also within the range of the equipment mounting portion 223 provided on the second unit member 22, and the adjustment range for the position of the on-car equipment 106 relative to the equipment support 2 can be expanded in the longitudinal direction of the equipment support 2.

[0058] Embodiment 3 Fig. 10 is a top view showing a state in which on-car equipment is installed on the top of the car by the on-car equipment mounting device according to the third embodiment. Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XI-XI in Fig. 10. In each equipment support 2 attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, the protruding piece 212 of the first unit member 21 and the protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22 are each disposed outside the inter-fixing-member area A. As a result, in this embodiment, the equipment support 2 is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 with the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 disposed between the protruding piece 212 of the first unit member 21 and the protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22.

[0059] In each equipment support 2, the protruding piece 212 of the first unit member 21 is pressed against the first fixing member 104 from outside the inter-fixing member area A, and the protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22 is pressed against the second fixing member 105 from outside the inter-fixing member area A. As a result, each equipment support 2 receives tensile forces in opposite directions from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105. When each equipment support 2 receives tensile forces from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22 are fixed to each other by the respective component fixing devices 23, and the length of each equipment support 2 is fixed. When each equipment support 2 receives tensile forces from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 are gripped together, thereby attaching the equipment support 2 to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105.

[0060] In this embodiment, each device support 2 is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 with the protruding piece 212 of the first unit member 21 pressed against the flange portion 104b of the first fixing member 104 and the protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22 pressed against the vertical plate portion 105a of the second fixing member 105. Other configurations are the same as those in the second embodiment.

[0061] Next, a description will be given of a procedure for attaching the on-car equipment 106 to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 by the on-car equipment mounting device 1. When attaching the on-car equipment 106 to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, a pair of equipment supports 2 are attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105.

[0062] When attaching the equipment support 2 to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, each component fixing tool 23 is loosened to extend the equipment support 2, and then each equipment support 2 is positioned so that the inter-fixing member area A is positioned between the protruding pieces 212 and 222. This positions the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 between the protruding pieces 212 and 222.

[0063] Thereafter, the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22 are slid relative to each other while the device supports 2 are contracted, and the first unit member 21 is pressed against the first fixed member 104, and the second unit member 22 is pressed against the second fixed member 105. At this time, in this embodiment, the protruding piece 212 of the first unit member 21 comes into contact with the flange portion 104b of the first fixed member 104, and the protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22 comes into contact with the vertical plate portion 105a of the second fixed member 105.

[0064] Thereafter, with the first unit member 21 pressed against the first fixing member 104 and the second unit member 22 pressed against the second fixing member 105, the member fixing devices 23 are tightened to fix the length of each equipment support 2. Once the length of each equipment support 2 is fixed, each equipment support 2 receives tensile forces in opposite directions from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, and is placed in a state where it grips the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105. As a result, each equipment support 2 is held by the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, and is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105.

[0065] Thereafter, in the same manner as in the second embodiment, the on-car equipment 106 is attached to the pair of equipment supports 2. In this manner, the on-car equipment 106 is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 via the pair of equipment supports 2.

[0066] In such an on-car equipment mounting device 1, the equipment support body 2 presses the protruding piece 212 against the first fixing member 104 from outside the inter-fixing member area A, and also presses the protruding piece 222 against the second fixing member 105 from outside the inter-fixing member area A, thereby receiving tensile forces in opposite directions from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105. This allows the equipment support body 2 to hold the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 together, making it possible to easily and stably mount the equipment support body 2 to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105.

[0067] Embodiment 4 Fig. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which on-car equipment is installed on the top of the car by an on-car equipment mounting device according to embodiment 4. Fig. 12 is a view corresponding to Fig. 11 in embodiment 3. In this embodiment, of the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22, the first unit member 21 serves as a detachment prevention unit member.

[0068] The first unit member 21 serving as a removal prevention unit member has a return portion 214. The return portion 214 is provided on the protruding piece 212 of the first unit member 21. The return portion 214 protrudes from the protruding piece 212 of the first unit member 21 toward the second unit member 22. As a result, in the first unit member 21, the return portion 214 faces the unit member main body portion 211 in the thickness direction of the first unit member 21. As a result, in the first unit member 21, an insertion groove 215 is formed between the unit member main body portion 211 and the return portion 214.

[0069] When the equipment support body 2 is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, a part of the first fixing member 104 or the second fixing member 105 that is pressed by the protruding piece 211 of the first unit member 21 is inserted into the insertion groove 215. In this embodiment, when the equipment support body 2 is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, the flange portion 104b of the first fixing member 104 that is pressed by the protruding piece 211 of the first unit member 21 is inserted into the insertion groove 215. The other configurations are the same as in the third embodiment. Furthermore, the on-car equipment 106 is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 via the pair of equipment supports 2 in the same procedure as in the third embodiment.

[0070] In this on-car equipment mounting device 1, a first unit member 21 serving as a detachment prevention unit member has a return portion 214 provided on the protruding piece 212. As a result, an insertion groove 215 is formed in the first unit member 21 between the unit member main body 211 and the return portion 214. When the equipment support member 2 is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, the flange portion 104b of the first fixing member 104, which is pressed by the protruding piece 212 of the first unit member 21, is inserted into the insertion groove 215. Therefore, even if the first unit member 21 serving as a detachment prevention unit member is displaced relative to the first fixing member 104, the return portion 214 of the first unit member 21 can be hooked onto the flange portion 104b of the first fixing member 104. This makes it possible to prevent the first unit member 21 from being detached from the first fixing member 104, and to prevent the equipment support member 2 from being detached from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105.

[0071] In the fourth embodiment, the first unit member 21 is the detachment-preventing unit member. However, the second unit member 22 may be the detachment-preventing unit member. In this case, the return portion is provided on the protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22. In this case, the return portion of the second unit member 22 faces the unit member main body portion 221, thereby forming an insertion groove between the unit member main body portion 221 and the return portion. Furthermore, in this case, the second fixing member 105 is disposed with the flange portion 105b protruding horizontally from the upper edge of the vertical plate portion 105a toward the opposite side to the inter-fixing member region A. As a result, in this case, when the device support member 2 is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, the flange portion 105b of the second fixing member 105, pressed by the protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22, is inserted into the insertion groove of the second unit member 22. In this way, the second unit member 22 can be made less likely to come off the second fixing member 105, and the device support member 2 can be made less likely to come off the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105.

[0072] Furthermore, in the fourth embodiment, each of the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22 may be a detachment-preventing unit member. In this way, the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22 can be made less likely to detach from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, respectively, and the device support 2 can be made even more reliably less likely to detach from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105.

[0073] Embodiment 5. Fig. 13 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which on-car equipment is installed on the top of the car by an on-car equipment mounting device according to embodiment 5. Fig. 13 is a view corresponding to Fig. 11 in embodiment 3. In this embodiment, of the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22, the second unit member 22 serves as an adjustment unit member. Also, in this embodiment, the equipment support body 2 has an adjustment mechanism 24. The adjustment mechanism 24 is attached to the second unit member 22, which serves as an adjustment unit member.

[0074] Fig. 14 is an enlarged perspective view showing the state in which the adjustment mechanism 24 of Fig. 13 is attached to the second unit member 22. Fig. 15 is an enlarged perspective view showing the second unit member 22 from which the adjustment mechanism 24 of Fig. 14 has been removed. The adjustment mechanism 24 has an adjustment bolt 241 and a lock nut 242. A screw hole 222a is formed in the protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22.

[0075] The adjustment bolt 241 is an adjustment member that is screwed into the screw hole 222a. The adjustment bolt 241 penetrates the protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22 while being screwed into the screw hole 222a. The position of the adjustment bolt 241 relative to the second unit member 22 can be adjusted in the direction in which the equipment support body 2 can expand and contract by adjusting the amount that the adjustment bolt 241 is screwed into the screw hole 222a.

[0076] The lock nut 242 is screwed onto the threaded portion of the adjustment bolt 241. When the adjustment bolt 241 is screwed into the threaded hole 222a, the lock nut 242 is tightened while being pressed against the protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22, thereby fixing the position of the adjustment bolt 241 relative to the second unit member 22.

[0077] 13, when the equipment support body 2 is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 are sandwiched between the protruding piece 212 of the first unit member 21 and the adjustment bolt 241. Of the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, the second fixing member 105 is pressed by the protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22 serving as an adjustment unit member, and the equipment support body 2 presses the protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22 via the adjustment bolt 241. As a result, the equipment support body 2 receives tensile forces from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 as forces in opposite directions.

[0078] The distance between the protruding piece 212 of the first unit member 21 and the adjustment bolt 241 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the adjustment bolt 241 relative to the second unit member 22. As a result, when the equipment support body 2 is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, the magnitude of the tensile force that the equipment support body 2 receives from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the adjustment bolt 241 relative to the second unit member 22. Other configurations are the same as those in the third embodiment.

[0079] When attaching the equipment support 2 to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, each equipment support 2 is positioned so that the inter-fixing member area A is located between the protruding piece 212 and the adjustment bolt 241 while loosening each member fixing tool 23 and adjusting the length of the equipment support 2. At this time, the protruding piece 212 is brought into contact with the first fixing member 104, and the adjustment bolt 241 is brought into contact with the second fixing member 105.

[0080] Thereafter, the length of each equipment support 2 is fixed by tightening each component fixing device 23. Then, the adjustment bolt 241 is turned to adjust the position of the adjustment bolt 241 relative to the second unit member 22 in a direction that presses the adjustment bolt 241 against the second fixing member 105. As a result, the equipment support 2 receives tensile forces in opposite directions from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, and is placed in a state where it grips the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105. Thereafter, the lock nut 242 is tightened to fix the position of the adjustment bolt 241 relative to the second unit member 22. As a result, each equipment support 2 is held by the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 and is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105. The subsequent procedures are the same as those in the third embodiment.

[0081] In this on-car equipment mounting device 1, an adjustment mechanism 24 is attached to the second unit member 22 serving as an adjustment unit member. The adjustment mechanism 24 has an adjustment bolt 241 that is screwed into a threaded hole 222a provided in a protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22. The position of the adjustment bolt 241 relative to the second unit member 22 is adjustable in the direction in which the equipment support body 2 can extend and contract. The equipment support body 2 presses the protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22 against the second fixing member 105 via the adjustment bolt 241. When the equipment support body 2 is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, the magnitude of the tensile force that the equipment support body 2 receives from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the adjustment bolt 241 relative to the second unit member 22.

[0082] Therefore, with the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 arranged between the protruding piece 212 and the adjustment bolt 241, the protruding piece 222 of the second unit member 22 can be easily pressed against the second fixing member 105 via the adjustment bolt 241. This allows the equipment support 2 to easily grip the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, and the equipment support 2 can be easily attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105. Furthermore, the magnitude of the tensile forces that the equipment support 2 receives from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 as forces in opposite directions can be easily adjusted, and the equipment support 2 can be attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 more stably.

[0083] In the fifth embodiment, the second unit member 22 serves as the adjustment unit member. However, the first unit member 21 may serve as the adjustment unit member. In this case, the adjustment mechanism 24 is attached to the first unit member 21. In this case, the adjustment bolt 241 of the adjustment mechanism 24 is screwed into a threaded hole provided in the protruding piece 212 of the first unit member 21. Furthermore, in this case, the position of the adjustment bolt 241 relative to the first unit member 21 is adjustable in the direction in which the equipment support body 2 can expand and contract. In this case, the equipment support body 2 presses the protruding piece 212 of the first unit member 21 against the first fixing member 104 via the adjustment bolt 241. As a result, in this case, by adjusting the position of the adjustment bolt 241 relative to the first unit member 21, the magnitude of the tensile force that the equipment support body 2 receives from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 can be adjusted.

[0084] Furthermore, in the fifth embodiment, each of the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22 may be an adjustment unit member. In this way, an adjustment mechanism 24 can be attached to each of the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22. This makes it possible to more easily adjust the magnitude of the tensile forces that the device support body 2 receives from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 as forces in opposite directions to each other, using each of the two adjustment mechanisms 24.

[0085] In the fifth embodiment, the configuration of the detachment prevention unit member in the fourth embodiment, in which the protruding piece 212 is provided with the return portion 214, may be applied to the configuration of the first unit member 21.

[0086] Embodiment 6 Fig. 16 is a top view showing a state in which on-car equipment is installed on the top of a car by an on-car equipment mounting device according to embodiment 6. Fig. 17 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XVII-XVII in Fig. 16. The equipment support body 2 has a first unit member 21, a second unit member 22, and an intermediate unit member 25 as a plurality of unit members. Therefore, in this embodiment, the number of unit members in each equipment support body 2 is three: the first unit member 21, the second unit member 22, and the intermediate unit member 25.

[0087] In each equipment support 2, a first unit member 21, an intermediate unit member 25, and a second unit member 22 are slidably connected in succession. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first unit member 21 is located at one end of the equipment support 2, the second unit member 22 is located at the other end of the equipment support 2, and the intermediate unit member 25 is located between the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22.

[0088] Each equipment support 2 can be extended or retracted by two consecutive unit members sliding relative to each other. Therefore, in this embodiment, the equipment support 2 can be extended or retracted by the first unit member 21 and the intermediate unit member 25 sliding relative to each other, and the equipment support 2 can also be extended or retracted by the intermediate unit member 25 and the second unit member 22 sliding relative to each other.

[0089] Figure 18 is an exploded perspective view showing the first unit member 21, the intermediate unit member 25, and the second unit member 22 in the equipment support body 2 of Figure 16. The configuration of the first unit member 21 is similar to the configuration of the first unit member 21 in embodiment 1, except that the unit member main body 211 is not provided with an equipment mounting portion 213. The configuration of the second unit member 22 is similar to the configuration of the second unit member 22 in embodiment 1.

[0090] The intermediate unit member 25 has a unit member main body portion 251. The unit member main body portion 251 is a plate-like portion that extends along the direction in which the equipment support body 2 can expand and contract. The unit member main body portion 251 has a unit member elongated hole 25a that extends along the direction in which the equipment support body 2 can expand and contract, i.e., the longitudinal direction of the unit member main body portion 251.

[0091] In the intermediate unit member 25, a plate-shaped equipment mounting portion 252 to which the on-car equipment 106 can be attached is provided on the unit member main body 251. The equipment mounting portion 252 is a protruding portion that protrudes from at least a part of the unit member main body 251 in the width direction of the unit member main body 251. In this embodiment, the equipment mounting portion 252 protrudes from the entire range of the unit member main body 251 in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate unit member 25.

[0092] Two device mounting holes 252a are provided in the device mounting portion 252. In this embodiment, each device mounting hole 252a is provided as a round hole that penetrates the device mounting portion 252. The device mounting holes 252a are positioned apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate unit member 25.

[0093] 16 and 17, the first unit member 21 and the intermediate unit member 25 are connected to each other with the unit member main body portion 211 and the unit member main body portion 251 overlapping each other. The intermediate unit member 25 and the second unit member 22 are connected to each other with the unit member main body portion 251 and the unit member main body portion 221 overlapping each other. In other words, two consecutive unit members are connected to each other with the unit member main body portions of the two unit members overlapping each other.

[0094] The plurality of component fasteners 23 slidably connect two consecutive unit components to each other. In this embodiment, two component fasteners 23 slidably connect the first unit component 21 and the intermediate unit component 25 to each other, and two component fasteners 23 slidably connect the intermediate unit component 25 and the second unit component 22 to each other.

[0095] The first unit member 21 and the intermediate unit member 25 are connected to each other by two member fasteners 23 passed through the unit member elongated holes 21a and 25a. The intermediate unit member 25 and the second unit member 22 are connected to each other by two member fasteners 23 passed through the unit member elongated holes 25a and 22a. The member fasteners 23 are arranged at positions spaced apart from each other in the direction in which the equipment support body 2 can extend and retract.

[0096] The component fasteners 23 passed through the unit component elongated holes 21a and 25a fasten the unit component main body 211 and the unit component main body 251 together, thereby fixing the first unit component 21 and the intermediate unit component 25 to one another. The component fasteners 23 passed through the unit component elongated holes 25a and 22a fasten the unit component main body 251 and the unit component main body 221 to one another, thereby fixing the intermediate unit component 25 and the second unit component 22 to one another. When the first unit component 21, the intermediate unit component 25, and the second unit component 22 are fixed to one another, the equipment support body 2 cannot expand or contract, and the length of the equipment support body 2 is fixed. The fixed state of the first unit component 21, the intermediate unit component 25, and the second unit component 22 to one another can be released by loosening all of the component fasteners 23.

[0097] The on-car equipment 106 is attached to equipment mounting portions 252 provided on each of the pair of equipment supports 2. The on-car equipment 106 is attached to each equipment mounting portion 252 by a plurality of equipment fasteners 107 passed through each equipment mounting hole 252a. The other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0098] When attaching the equipment supports 2 to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, each member fixing tool 23 is loosened and the pair of equipment supports 2 is placed in the inter-fixing member area A. Thereafter, the first unit member 21, the intermediate unit member 25 and the second unit member 22 are slid relative to each other while extending each equipment support 2, and the first unit member 21 is pressed against the first fixing member 104, and the second unit member 22 is pressed against the second fixing member 105.

[0099] Thereafter, the length of each equipment support 2 is fixed by tightening each component fixing device 23 in the same manner as in embodiment 1. Once the length of each equipment support 2 is fixed, each equipment support 2 receives compressive forces in opposite directions from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, and is placed in a tensioned state between the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105. As a result, each equipment support 2 is held between the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, and is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105.

[0100] Thereafter, the mounting portions of the on-car equipment 106 are fixed to the equipment mounting portions 252 by a plurality of equipment fixing devices 107 passed through the equipment mounting holes 252a. In this manner, the on-car equipment 106 is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 via the pair of equipment supports 2.

[0101] In this way, even if the number of unit members in the equipment support body 2 is three, that is, the first unit member 21, the intermediate unit member 25, and the second unit member 22, the equipment support body 2 can be attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 without processing the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105. This makes it possible to stabilize the attachment state of the equipment support body 2 to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, and to stably support the load of the on-car equipment 106 by the equipment support body 2. Therefore, the on-car equipment 106 can be stably installed on the upper part of the car 100.

[0102] In the sixth embodiment, the number of intermediate unit members 25 in the equipment support body 2 is one. However, the number of intermediate unit members 25 in the equipment support body 2 may be two or more. That is, the number of unit members in the equipment support body 2 may be four or more. In this case, two consecutive intermediate unit members 25 are slidably connected to each other by the member fixing device 23. In this case, the equipment mounting hole 252a provided in each equipment mounting portion 252 is an elongated hole that is aligned with the direction in which the equipment support body 2 can expand and contract.

[0103] Moreover, in the sixth embodiment, neither the first unit member 21 nor the second unit member 22 is provided with an equipment mounting portion. However, the unit member main body 211 of the first unit member 21 may be provided with an equipment mounting portion 213, or the unit member main body 221 of the second unit member 22 may be provided with an equipment mounting portion 223. In this case, the equipment mounting hole 252a provided in the equipment mounting portion 252 is an elongated hole aligned with the extension and contraction direction of the equipment support body 2. It is sufficient that the equipment mounting portion to which the on-car equipment 106 can be attached is provided in at least one of the plurality of unit members in the equipment support body 2.

[0104] Furthermore, in the sixth embodiment, a configuration in which the number of unit members in the equipment support body 2 is three, namely, the first unit member 21, the intermediate unit member 25, and the second unit member 22, is applied to the equipment support body 2 in the second embodiment. However, a configuration in which the number of unit members in the equipment support body 2 is three, namely, the first unit member 21, the intermediate unit member 25, and the second unit member 22, may also be applied to the equipment support body 2 in each of the first embodiment and the third to fifth embodiments. Furthermore, a configuration in which the number of unit members in the equipment support body 2 is four or more may also be applied to the equipment support body 2 in each of the first embodiment and the third to fifth embodiments.

[0105] Furthermore, in the first and sixth embodiments, the equipment mounting holes 213a, 252a provided in the equipment mounting portions 213, 252 of the equipment support body 2 are round holes. However, the equipment mounting holes 213a, 252a may be elongated holes extending in the direction in which the equipment support body 2 can expand and contract. In this way, the position of the on-car equipment 106 attached to the equipment mounting portion 213 can be adjusted along the equipment mounting holes 213a, 252a, and the position of the on-car equipment 106 can be easily adjusted.

[0106] Furthermore, in Embodiments 1, 2, and 6, neither the first unit member 21 nor the second unit member 22 is the adjustment unit member in Embodiment 5, and neither the first unit member 21 nor the second unit member 22 has the adjustment mechanism 24 attached to it. However, in Embodiments 1, 2, and 6, at least one of the first unit member 21 and the second unit member 22 may be used as an adjustment unit member, and the adjustment mechanism 24 may be attached to the adjustment unit member. In this case, the adjustment unit member has a threaded hole into which the adjustment bolt 241 of the adjustment mechanism 24 is screwed. For example, the first unit member 21 may be used as an adjustment unit member, and the protruding piece 212 may have a threaded hole, or the second unit member 22 may be used as an adjustment unit member, and the protruding piece 222 may have a threaded hole. As a result, in this case, the position of the adjustment bolt 241 relative to the adjustment unit member can be adjusted in the direction in which the equipment support 2 can extend and retract. In this case, the equipment support body 2 presses the adjustment unit member against either the first fixing member 104 or the second fixing member 105, whichever is pressed by the adjustment unit member, via the adjustment bolt 241. As a result, when the equipment support body 2 is attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, the magnitude of the compressive forces that the equipment support body 2 receives from the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 as forces in opposite directions can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the adjustment bolt 241 relative to the adjustment unit member. In this way, the equipment support body 2 can be easily tensioned between the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, and the equipment support body 2 can be easily and stably attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105.

[0107] Furthermore, in the first, second, and sixth embodiments, the equipment support body 2 may be attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 in a state in which the equipment support body 2 is placed on the upper surface of the car ceiling panel 102. In this way, the equipment support body 2 is less likely to shift relative to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, and the attachment state of the equipment support body 2 to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 can be more reliably stabilized.

[0108] Furthermore, in the third to fifth embodiments, the equipment support 2 may be attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 in a state in which the equipment support 2 is placed on the upper surfaces of the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105. In this way, the equipment support 2 is less likely to shift relative to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105, and the attachment state of the equipment support 2 to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 can be more reliably stabilized.

[0109] Furthermore, in each of the above-described embodiments, the number of equipment supports 2 attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 is two. However, the number of equipment supports 2 attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 is not limited to this. As long as the on-car equipment 106 is stably installed on the top of the car 100, the number of equipment supports 2 attached to the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 may be three or more, or may be one.

[0110] Furthermore, in each of the above-described embodiments, the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 are each a reinforcing member that reinforces the car ceiling panel 102. However, the first fixing member 104 and the second fixing member 105 are not limited to being a reinforcing member for the car ceiling panel 102. For example, a safety handrail fixed to the top of the car 100, an upper beam fixed to the top of the car 100, a door support member fixed to the top of the car 100, or the like may also be used as the first fixing member and the second fixing member.

[0111] The configurations described in the above embodiments are merely examples of the contents of the present disclosure. The embodiments can be combined with other known technologies. Part of the configuration of the embodiments can be omitted or modified without departing from the gist of the present disclosure. [Explanation of symbols]
