In the above configuration, in order to attach the air conditioner 1 to the installation frame 3 fixed to the window frame 2, first, the lower part of the air conditioner 1 is faced inside the frame body 7 of the installation frame 3, and the air conditioner 1 Place the air conditioner 1 on the lower frame 6 of the installation frame 3 at a position where the lower contact surface of the side recess 17 and the vertical frame 4 of the frame body 7 are in contact with each other. and the locking portion 11 of the lower frame 6 is locked.

Next, gradually turn on air conditioner 1 and turn on air conditioner 4.
A stop piece 1 provided inside the upper frame 5 as shown in the figure
5 and the contact slope A23 of the mounting flange 20 contact portion 18 provided on the top surface of the air conditioner 1.
24 and further push the air conditioner 1 toward the outdoor side against the biasing force of the spring 14, thereby completing the installation of the air conditioner 1.

Here, the operation of the stop piece 15 and the contact portion 18 will be explained in detail. A in FIG. 4 shows a state in which the inclined surface A23 of the aforementioned stop piece 15 and the contact inclined surface A24 of the contact portion 18 of the mounting flange 20 are in contact with each other, and from this state, the air conditioner 1 is further moved toward the outdoor side. As you push forward,
In other words, when the abutting part 18 is advanced upward as shown by the arrow in the figure, the movement of the abutting part 18 causes the abutting slope A
24 and the inclined surface A23 of the stop piece 15, the stop piece 15 is moved inward (in the direction of the arrow) as shown in FIG. After the contact portion 18 has passed, the stop piece 15 is biased by the spring 14, so it returns to its original state as shown in C in the figure, and the vertical portion of the upper frame 5 and the mounting flange 20 19 come into contact with each other, the contact slope B25 of the contact portion 18 and the slope B26 of the stop piece 15 are easily fixed. That is, the air conditioner 1 is fixed to the installation frame 3. Then, the safety cover 21 is fixed with screws 22 so as to cover the handle portion 27 of the stop piece 15 and the vertical portion 19 of the mounting flange 20.

In this way, the air conditioner 1 simply places its lower part on the lower frame 6 of the installation frame 3, and attaches to the locking part 1 of the lower frame 6.
