Smoke exhauster mounting structure

Abstract

A smoke exhauster includes one or more rails for attaching to a supporting surface, and a housing having one or more slots for slidably receiving the rails and for easily and readily and detachably attaching the housing to the rail or the supporting surface. The rail includes an anchoring member, such as a projection extended from the rail, and the housing includes another anchoring member, such as a depression formed in the housing for engaging with the projection and for detachably anchoring the housing to the rail. The rail includes one or more securing panels for securing to the supporting surface with fasteners, and a base panel having a number of apertures for engaging the fasteners.

1 . A smoke exhauster comprising: 
 at least one rail for attaching to a supporting surface, and    a housing including at least one slot formed therein,    said at least one rail being engageable into said at least one slot of said housing for detachably attaching said housing to said at least one rail.    
   
   
       2 . The smoke exhauster as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said at least one rail includes at least one securing panel for securing to the supporting surface with fasteners.  
   
   
       3 . The smoke exhauster as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said at least one rail includes a base panel having a plurality of apertures formed therein and aligned with said fasteners for allowing said fasteners to be engaged through said base panel to secure said at least one securing panel to the supporting surface.  
   
   
       4 . The smoke exhauster as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said at least one rail includes at least one side panel coupled to said base panel and said at least one securing panel.  
   
   
       5 . The smoke exhauster as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said at least one side panel is inclined relative to said base panel and said at least one securing panel.  
   
   
       6 . The smoke exhauster as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said at least one rail include a first anchoring member for engaging with said housing and for detachably anchoring said housing to said at least one rail.  
   
   
       7 . The smoke exhauster as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said housing includes a second anchoring member for engaging with said first anchoring member and for detachably anchoring said housing to said at least one rail.  
   
   
       8 . The smoke exhauster as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein said second anchoring member is a depression formed in said housing and said first anchoring member is a projection extended from said at least one rail for engaging with said depression of said housing.  
   
   
       9 . The smoke exhauster as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said housing includes an insert having at least one flap for defining said at least one slot of said housing.  
   
   
       10 . The smoke exhauster as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein said insert includes a bottom board and said at least one flap is extended from said bottom board for defining said at least one slot of said housing.  
   
   
       11 . The smoke exhauster as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein said at least one flap is inclined relative to said bottom board.
