Abstract
An apparatus fixture device for fixing an apparatus to a ceiling portion of a vehicle includes at least one pair of rails for carrying a load when the apparatus is installed. Each rail has a narrow opening groove and a pair of rack-shaped portions on both sides thereof. A block has loose-fitting holes and an upper width insertable into the opening groove. Bolts are loosely fitted into the holes of the block. A cylinder is loosely fitted between the bolt and the hole. Nut plates have a nut hole to be screwed with the bolt. When the bolt is turned and pushed upwardly, end portions of the nut plates extend across the opening groove and are placed on the pair of rack-shaped portions and pulled downward by a tightening force of the bolt screwed into the nut hole. A fixing member engages the apparatus to the block.
