Abstract

A projector installing device for installing a projector pendant from a ceiling, which enables easy and quick horizontal angular adjustment of the projector and which is also excellent in durability. A rotary member rotatable around a vertical axis of a pin is installed on a supporting member fastened to a ceiling, the rotary member is provided with fixing screws for unfixably fixing the rotary member at a desired rotary position to the supporting member from its horizontal direction, and the projector is fastened to the rotary member.

Claims

1. A projector installing device comprising:

a supporting member having a box shape with its lower side open, said supporting member being adapted to be fastened to a ceiling; and

a rotary member also having a box shape with its lower side open said rotary member box shape being larger than said box shape of said supporting member, said rotary member being mounted on said supporting member while covering said supporting member and being rotatable around a vertical axis and further being adapted for fastening a projector,

wherein the rotary member is provided with fixing screws for unfixably fixing said rotary member at a desired rotary position relative to the supporting member from its horizontal direction.

2. A projector installing device comprising:

a supporting member adapted to be fastened to ceiling; and

a rotary member which is rotatable around a vertical axis, said rotary member being provided for fastening a projector,

wherein the rotary member is provided with fixing screws for unfixably fixing the rotary member at a desired rotary position to the supporting member from its horizontal direction,

said supporting member being formed to have a box shape with its lower side open and four first side plates and a first ceiling plate connected continuously therewith, said first ceiling plate being provided with a plurality of cylinders which project from a face to the first ceiling plate and have bolts passed therethrough, said rotary member being formed to have a box shape with its lower side opened, the rotary member being made up of four second side plates and a second ceiling plate connected continuously therewith, said rotary member being mounted and supported on said supporting member, said second ceiling plate being formed therein with slots for allowing passage of said cylinders and also allowing movement thereof as passed therethrough caused by rotation of said rotary member to mount and support said supporting member from its upper side, and the first side plate of said supporting member being provided with graduated scales for enabling a worker to know a rotary position of the rotary member relative to said supporting member.

3. The projector installing device as set forth in claim 2 wherein said rotary member is provided with lock holders for fixing a projector and said lock holders are arranged to be vertically rocked with respect to said rotary member.
