[0054] In addition, FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing another exemplary embodiment of fixing a finishing panel of the ceiling finishing panel fixing device shown in FIG. 2 to a wall, FIG. 9 is a partial exploded perspective view showing the ceiling finishing panel fixing device according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, FIGS. 10 and 11 are cross-sectional views showing a use state of the present invention, FIG. 12 is a plan view showing a tightening member according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 13 is a plan view showing a reinforcing pipe according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 14 is a photograph of a hammer drill for forming an installation hole in a ceiling slab in order to fix an anchor bolt assembly to a ceiling according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0055] Referring to these views, the ceiling finishing panel fixing device according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: a finishing panel 200, a channel bar 300, a panel fixing bar 400, and an anchor bolt assembly 600.

[0056] First, referring to FIGS. 3 and 6, the anchor bolt assembly 600 has an upper part thereof fixed to a ceiling slab and has a lower part thereof coupled to the channel bar 300 to be described later, and is provided with an anchor body 610 (aka, anchor bolt), an anchor shell 620, a tightening member 630, a full-threaded bolt 660, a reinforcing pipe 670, and a hanger 680.

[0057] A plurality of triangular pyramid-shaped protrusions 612a is provided on the upper surface of the anchor body 610, is integrated with the anchor body 610 at intervals of 90 degrees, and is formed at a predetermined height, so that the anchor body 610 does not rotate (i.e., so as not to spin in place with no traction) by contacting the interior of the installation hole (H in FIG. 10) of the ceiling slab during installation. Accordingly, when the tightening member 630 to be described later is tightened, the protrusion 612a is embedded in the deepest part of the installation hole H of the ceiling slab, thereby preventing the rotation (i.e., a phenomenon of spinning in place with no traction) of the anchor body 610.

[0058] In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the protrusion 612a is shown to have a triangular pyramid shape, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and a protrusion may be used as long as the protrusion has a shape of a pointed tip.

[0059] In addition, a double stepped jaw 612b having a “<>” shaped side thereof is provided, as an outer diameter thereof widens downward from an upper end of the anchor body 610 provided with the protrusion 612a and then narrows downward again. A screw thread for screwing with the tightening member 630 is formed on the lower part of the double stepped jaw 612b, that is, on the outer circumferential surface of a trunk part of the anchor body 610.

[0060] In addition, a double screw thread 614 is formed at a predetermined height from the lower end of the anchor body 610 toward the upper side thereof, so that even when the tightening member 630 is allowed to be rotated less, tightening or loosening action is done by means of the double screw thread 614, thereby reducing installation time.

[0061] The anchor shell 620 is a part having open upper and lower sides thereof, is extrapolated to the lower side of the anchor body 610, and is configured such that first incised parts 622a having a “Y” shape are formed at equal intervals along the circumference of the anchor shell 620, and a plurality of second incised parts 622b having a “v” shape is formed at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction of the first incised parts 622a so that the plurality of expansion pieces 622 are separated from each other.

[0062] That is, each expansion piece 622 is configured to be separated from each other at a predetermined interval by the first incised part 622a and second incised part 622b, so that each expansion piece 622 is opened as the double stepped jaw 612b of the anchor body 610 is inserted into the inner side of the anchor shell 620 by the tightening action of the tightening member 630.

[0063] Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, when the anchor shell 620 is raised toward the deepest part of the installation hole H, the upper pieces of the anchor shell 620 are bent and gathered together toward the triangular pyramid protrusion 612a of the anchor body as each first incised part 622a of the anchor shell 620 is opened in the “<>” shape to the left and right due to the “<>” shape structure of the double stepped jaw 612b of the anchor body 610 and the “{circle around ( )}” shape structure of the deepest part of the installation hole H, and in this case, each second incised part 622b of the anchor shell 620 positioned on a side of a wall of the installation hole H has the same shape as a barb, and each barb-shaped part is drilled into the wall of the installation hole H, whereby the anchor shell 620 is strongly fixed to the wall.

[0064] Referring to FIG. 14, the “{circle around ( )}” shape structure at the deepest part of the installation hole H is thus formed due to the “{circle around ( )}” shape of a tip protrusion 810 formed in the center of the tip of a hammer drill 800 for forming an installation hole H.

[0065] Accordingly, unlike the related art, by the tightening action of the tightening member 630 without using tools such as a hammer and without disassembling parts constituting an anchor bolt assembly, the anchor bolt assembly may be easily fixed to a ceiling slab, installation time is also reduced, and after the installation, the anchor bolt assembly may be prevented from falling out of the ceiling slab by vibration and the like.

[0066] In a case of fixing an anchor body 610 and an anchor shell 620 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention to a ceiling slab 90, an upper end of the anchor body 610 is embedded in the ceiling slab 90 by protrusions 612a on the upper end of the anchor body 610, so that when rotating a tightening member 630 to the right with an impact drill (not shown) while pressing the tightening member 630 screwed to the lower side of the anchor body 610, the anchor body 610 is not rotated, but only the anchor shell 620 is opened while the anchor shell 620 is tightened by the tightening member 630, whereby the anchor body 610 and the anchor shell 620 are fixed to the ceiling slab 90.

[0067] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 12, the tightening member 630 is generally in the form of a nut and is screwed to the anchor body 610 through a screw thread provided on the inner circumferential surface thereof, and is provided with a processing part 632 formed along a circumference of the upper part of the tightening member 630 in order to increase frictional force. That is, when the tightening member 630 rotates and approaches an installation hole H of the ceiling slab 90, the processing part 632 having an uneven shape closely adheres to the opening of the installation hole H, thereby preventing the lower part of the anchor body 610 from shaking.

[0068] The processing part 632 may be configured to have a tooth shape of a knurling or a straight bevel gear.

[0069] The full-threaded bolt 660 has a screw thread formed on the entire outer circumferential surface of the bolt having no head part. The upper side of such a full-threaded bolt 660 is screwed to a lower side of the tightening member 630, and a lower side of the anchor body 610 is screwed to an upper side of the tightening member 630.

[0070] Referring to FIG. 13, the reinforcing pipe 670 having a square pipe shape is opened at the top and bottom thereof and surrounds the outer side of a full-threaded bolt 660, in particular, the full-threaded bolt 660 having a long length, thereby preventing the full-threaded bolt 660 from bending.

[0071] The hanger 680 is screwed to the lower side of the full-threaded bolt 660 by a pair of upper and lower nuts 640 provided in a horizontal bent part of the upper end of the hanger 680, and a lower end part of the hanger 680 is bent in double in the form of a “L”-shaped cross section, thereby being coupled to a channel bar 300 to be described later.

[0072] The double bent part of the hanger 680 is provided with a hanger pin 682 inserted horizontally to hold the double bent part, and the channel bar 300 in the form of a “C” shape is combined between the hanger pin 682 and the hanger 680.

[0073] Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, each of the channel bars 300 is arranged long at a regular interval along a single direction on the upper part of each panel fixing bar 400, and is combined to the panel fixing bar 400, so as not to be removed, by a locking clip 420 having opposite ends thereof locked to the panel fixing bar 400.

[0074] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the part in which the channel bar 300, the panel fixing bar 400, and the locking clip 420 contact is combined with a screw bolt 710, whereby in the case where the locking clip 420 is removed, the panel fixing bar 400 is prevented from being separated from the channel bar 300.

[0075] In addition, a cushioning material 684 is attached to the inside of the hanger 680 to prevent vibration of the hanger from being transmitted to the upper part of the anchor body 610 through other parts.

[0076] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, the panel fixing bar 400 has a substantially inverted triangle shape, wherein left and right vertices of the upper part of the panel fixing bar 400 respectively have outer edges bent downward in a state where each of the left and right vertices is folded in two layers, so that each bent part of the outer edge is locked by each of the opposite ends of the locking clip 420. In addition, vertex parts having a concave-convex shape at the bottom center of the panel fixing bar 400 are in contact with each other, so that a fitting protrusion 220 formed at each end of adjacent finishing panels 200 is inserted into a position between the vertex parts having the concave-convex shape.

[0077] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, between the adjacent finishing panels 200, in a state where a screw bolt 710 is coupled to the panel fixing bar 400 so as to pass therethrough, a magnet 720 is placed at (i.e., attached to) a lower part of the screw bolt 710, thereby covering the head part of the screw bolt 710. In this way, it is possible to disassemble and install the finishing panel 200 when replacing a finishing panel 200 easier than when using a conventional cover.

[0078] The exterior aesthetic of the ceiling finished with the finishing panel is also improved.

[0079] The panel fixing bar 400 is arranged long at a right angle with respect to the channel bar under the channel bar 300 and is coupled to the channel bar 300 through the locking clip 420 as described above. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, in order to reinforce the panel fixing bar 400, a joint 430 having the same shape as the panel fixing bar, that is, an inverted triangle shape, may be further provided on the inside of the panel fixing bar.

[0080] As shown in FIG. 8, the finishing panel 200 attached to the panel fixing bar 400 is made of a non-combustible iron plate, an aluminum plate, a thermosetting resin plate, or a PVC-based plate, wherein protrusions 210 are formed upwardly at a predetermined height on both front and rear sides of the finishing panel 200, and fitting protrusions 220 are formed upwardly on both left and right sides of the finishing panel 200.

[0081] The fitting protrusion 220 of the finishing panel 200 has a thick upper part so as not to fall out while being inserted into the position between the vertex parts of the bottom center of the panel fixing bar 400.

[0082] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 9, the protrusion 210 is tapered toward the end thereof, so that half grooves 214 in which the panel fixing bar 400 is positioned are formed at left and right ends of the protrusion 210, and one half groove 214 together with the other half groove of an adjacent finishing panel 200 completely form a groove.

[0083] Each locking hole 212 with a long length is provided in the protrusion 210, so that one end of a locking clip 410 is locked in a locking hole 212 of one finishing panel 200 in a state where the panel fixed bar 400 is placed on the groove between the adjacent finishing panels 200, and the other end of the locking clip 410 diagonally crosses the upper part of the panel fixing bar 400 and is locked in a locking hole 212 of the other finish panel 200, whereby the finishing panel 200 is attached to the panel fixing bar 400, and accordingly, the locking clip 410 is not exposed at the lower part of the finishing panel 200.

[0084] In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, a sound-absorbing material 500 having an insulating material or a sound- absorbing groove 502 formed therein may be coupled to the upper part of the finishing panel 200. The insulating material or sound-absorbing material 500 may be made in a plate shape by combining pulp or nonwoven fabric with recycled paper.

[0085] Referring to FIG. 7, when fixing a finishing panel 200 to a ceiling slab, a side end of the finishing panel 200 positioned at the outermost side thereof is fixed to one side wall, and the finishing panel 200 is forwardly fixed to the other side wall by using the above-described device and method.

[0086] In the case of reaching the other side wall, when the finishing panel 200 adequately contacts the other side wall, there is no problem, but when the finishing panel 200 manufactured collectively in a predetermined size does not contact the other side wall, the finishing panel 200 must be cut partially and fixed to the other side wall.

[0087] When cutting the finishing panel 200 in this case, as shown in FIG. 7, a “C”-shaped molding 130 made of aluminum, PVC, or iron is attached to the wall, and a cut finishing panel 200 is placed on the bottom of the “C”-shaped molding 130, wherein a hold-down clip 140 which is PVC-based and elastic is used and pressed from above to prevent the cut finishing panel 200 from moving.

[0088] A slit 142 in FIG. 7 is formed in the hold-down clip 140 to stably press the finishing panel 200 in a state of being fitted on the upper part of the “C”-shaped molding 130.

[0089] Referring to FIG. 8, in the case where the finishing panel 200 is not cut, as shown in the view, the “C”-shaped molding 130 made of aluminum is attached to the wall 120 and the finishing panel 200 is inserted into the “C”-shaped molding 130.

[0090] Referring to FIG. 9, in a state where the panel fixing bar 400 is seated in the half grooves 214 provided in the protrusion 210 of the finishing panel 200, a screw bolt 710 passes through the panel fixing bar 400, and then a magnet 720 is attached to the screw bolt 710.

[0091] Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, for example, when an insulation material 150 made of Styrofoam material is installed at a lower part of a ceiling slab 90 made of concrete, installation work is performed by fitting an anchor shell 620 longer than the thickness of the insulation material 150 into an anchor body 610 and tightening a tightening member 630. In particular, an anchor bolt assembly 600 made of a material that does not rust is used for the ceiling of an indoor swimming pool, bath, or sauna, which are continuously exposed to moisture.

[0092] So far, the improved anchor bolt assembly and the ceiling finishing panel fixing device including the same according to the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited by the exemplary embodiments and drawings disclosed in the present specification, and obviously, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various substitutions, modifications, and changes are possible within the scope of the technical spirit of the present invention.

[0093] The improved anchor bolt assembly and the ceiling finishing panel fixing device including the same according to the present invention is necessary for shielding a rough ceiling surface such as concrete, or for heat insulating the interior of a building, or for finishing a ceiling so that the electric wiring and the like installed on the ceiling is not exposed, and thus the present invention has industrial applicability.
