Abstract

A first bracket is attached to a heat source apparatus. A second bracket is fixed to a wall. The second bracket has an engagement portion over which the first bracket is hooked. The first bracket has a through hole through which the engagement portion is inserted. The first bracket has a plurality of protruding portions that protrude from an upper end of the through hole into the through hole. The plurality of protruding portions are arranged side by side along the upper end of the through hole.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wall fixing bracket for attaching a heat source apparatus to a wall, the wall fixing bracket comprising:
a first bracket attached to the heat source apparatus; and
a second bracket fixed to the wall, wherein
the second bracket has a first engagement portion over which the first bracket is hooked,
the first bracket has a first hole through which the first engagement portion is inserted,
the first bracket has a plurality of protruding portions that protrude from an upper end of the first hole into the first hole, and the plurality of protruding portions are arranged in a side by side direction along the upper end of the first hole,
wherein the second bracket has a bracket body provided with a through hole,
the through hole has a pair of side portions facing each other in the side by side direction, and
the first engagement portion is connected to one of the pair of side portions of the through hole.

2. The wall fixing bracket according to claim 1 , wherein
the first engagement portion is formed integrally with the bracket body and formed to be cut and raised from the bracket body in a direction crossing the bracket body.

3. The wall fixing bracket according to claim 2 , wherein
the first engagement portion has
an uppermost portion,
a joint portion located below the uppermost portion and joined to the bracket body, and
an inclined portion that inclines to locate to be lower as approaching from the uppermost portion toward the joint portion and to be closer to the bracket body.

4. The wall fixing bracket according to claim 1 , wherein
the first bracket has an attachment portion below the first hole, and
the first bracket is attached to the heat source apparatus at the attachment portion.

5. The wall fixing bracket according to claim 4 , wherein
the first bracket has
a first portion having the first hole,
a second portion located below the first portion and having the attachment portion, and
a third portion located between the first portion and the second portion, and inclined to be farther away from the second bracket as approaching from the first portion toward the second portion.

6. The wall fixing bracket according to claim 1 , wherein
the second bracket has a second engagement portion over which the first bracket is hooked,
the first bracket has a second hole through which the second engagement portion is inserted, and
the second hole has a flat upper end.

7. The wall fixing bracket according to claim 4 , wherein the attachment portion is provided in a region other than a region directly below the first hole.

8. The wall fixing bracket according to claim 1 , further comprising a fixing member which is inserted through the through hole to fix the second bracket to the wall; and
the through hole is provided in a region other than a region overlapping with the first bracket in a state where the first bracket is hooked over the second bracket.

9. The wall fixing bracket according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of protruding portions has an arc shape in a view seen in a direction in which the first hole penetrates through the first bracket.

10. The wall fixing bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the second bracket has a position indicating portion that indicates a position of a pipe connected to the heat source apparatus.

11. The wall fixing bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the first bracket has an engagement position indicating portion that indicates an engagement position of the first engagement portion.

12. A heat source apparatus unit comprising:
the wall fixing bracket according to claim 1 ; and
a heat source apparatus attached to the wall by the wall fixing bracket.
