Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a rod-like body attached to a panel, wherein a panel support is positioned between a first spherical body having a partial spherical surface and a second spherical body, and the first spherical surface is provided. The first spherical body, the panel support, and the second spherical body are configured to penetrate with flexibility, with the partial spherical surfaces of the body and the second spherical body facing outward, respectively, and A first concave spherical surface having a partially concave spherical surface slidingly contacting the partial spherical surface of the first spherical body; and a second concave spherical surface having a partially concave spherical surface slidingly contacting the partial spherical surface of the second spherical surface. The first concave spherical body and the second concave spherical body press the partial concave spherical surface against the partial spherical surface of the first spherical body and the second spherical body, respectively, and the rod-like shape is formed. Attached to the body,
The present invention relates to a panel support structure configured to support the panel via the panel support and the rod by attaching the panel support to a structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In such a panel supporting structure, a circular dome is formed by a plurality of panels by adjusting the angle between the panels to a desired angle and attaching the panel to a building structure, for example. It is used for forming curved wall surfaces.

[0003] In the panel supporting structure having such a structure, conventionally, a first rod-shaped member attached to the panel is provided so as to penetrate therethrough.
Through holes provided in the spherical body and the second spherical body are provided in a state passing through the centers of the spheres constituting the respective partial spherical surfaces of the spherical bodies, and at positions corresponding to the central axes of the respective partial spherical surfaces, Further, the through-hole is configured to have a larger diameter than the rod-like body so that the rod-like body is inclined and attached to the central axis of each partial spherical surface, whereby the angle between the panels can be adjusted to some extent freely. Are known (for example, see
-338096).

[0004]

Accordingly, even in the conventional structure disclosed in the above-mentioned publication, the angle between the panels can be adjusted to some extent freely by attaching the rod-like body to the center axis of each partial spherical surface so as to be inclined. Although it is possible to do so, there is a problem that the adjustment angle is limited to a narrow range.

[0005] That is, since the through-hole through which the rod-like body penetrates is formed with a larger diameter than the rod-like body, it is possible to mount the rod-like body at an angle in the through-hole with the larger diameter. It is. However, since the through hole is provided at a position coinciding with the central axis of the partial spherical surface of each spherical body, if the diameter of the through hole is too large, the area of the partial spherical surface of each spherical body becomes small, There is a risk that the sliding contact area of the concave spherical body with respect to the partial concave spherical body cannot be sufficiently ensured, and the support of the panel itself may become unstable. In general, the rod is inclined about 6 degrees with respect to the central axis. Was considered the limit.

The present invention focuses on such a conventional problem. An object of the present invention is to secure a sufficient area of a partial spherical surface in each spherical body and to stably and reliably support a panel. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a panel support structure which can mount the rod-shaped body with a large inclination with respect to the central axis of each partial spherical surface and can increase the angle between the panels.

In a state passing through the center of the sphere constituting the partial spherical surface of each spherical body,
And since it is provided in the position deviated from the central axis of each partial spherical surface, when mounting the rod-shaped body at an angle with respect to the central axis, the deviation direction of the through hole is made to match the inclination direction of the rod-shaped body. By attaching the rod, the rod can be attached to be inclined with respect to the central axis. In this way,
Since the eccentric direction of the through-hole can be attached in accordance with the inclination direction of the rod-shaped body, the rod-shaped body can be attached with a large inclination without increasing the size of the through-hole.
