Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a method of assembling a structure used temporarily or permanently.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various occasional outdoor venues,
In order to assemble temporary stands, warehouses and other structures, or seasonal decorative structures or exhibits such as temporary structures such as exhibits, steel pipes, logs, synthetic resins, etc. are used as structural materials (ie, columns or beams). Using a pipe or the like, they are connected to each other by a joint, and a plate is connected or interposed therebetween to form a predetermined structure. Or normal length 1,500m
m, a plurality of temporary members called so-called sheep sticks with a width of about 300 mm are juxtaposed or stacked, and the top is covered with a cloth or the like to create a table or floor of a desired size, such as a store or stage. It was a structural member.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned method of assembling a temporary building or a temporary structure using pipes, the pipes or logs used are heavy and difficult to carry.
For example, when trying to assemble a tent or stage for an outdoor venue, there is an inconvenience in handling that several people have to assemble together. In the case of steel pipes or synthetic resin pipes, there are foldable and storage types, but there is a limit to their compactness, and transportation and handling are time-consuming.

[0004] A temporary structure combining pipes is
The vertical pillars are sequentially added upward, the vertical pillars are arranged side by side at a predetermined interval, and the adjacent vertical pillars are sequentially connected to the horizontal rails and diagonal members, thereby forming a jungle gym structure. For this reason, the space between the vertical columns is closed by the horizontal rails and the diagonal members, and it has been difficult to carry in and out materials and walk on the floor surface.

Further, since the temporary member called a sheep rod has a box shape, if it is the same size, it cannot be nested and overlapped, so that a large space is wasted when storing and transporting. There is a problem.

An object of the present invention is to provide a new method of assembling a temporary building / structure which can be freely walked during an assembling operation without taking up wasted space during storage and transportation, and can carry in assembling materials.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in more detail with reference to the drawings. First, the container-like unit member and the container-like member will be described. 1 to 3 show a part of an example of a container-shaped unit member.

FIG. 1A shows a rectangular container-shaped unit member, in which a conical reinforcing member whose center is cut off at the center by an open surface of the container is provided in order to increase the strength, and a plan view and a side view are shown. Have been.

FIG. 1B shows an example of a container-shaped unit member having a conical shape with a cut end. As in FIG. 1A, it is also possible to provide reinforcement at the center. A plan view and a side view are shown as above.

FIG. 1C shows a rectangular container-shaped unit member, which is an example constituted by a frame portion. FIG. 1D shows an example of a rectangular container-like unit member having a basket shape.

FIG. 2 shows an example in which a plurality (four in the figure) of the container-like unit members shown in FIG. 1 are integrally formed, and a large-scale structure or the like or a container-like member used for increasing the assembling efficiency. It is an example.

FIG. 2A shows a container-like member obtained by integrally molding four container-like unit members of FIG. 1A. FIG. 2B is a container-like member obtained by integrally molding four container-like unit members of FIG. 1B. Both are shown in a plan view and a side view.

FIG. 3 is a conceptual view in which the container-like unit members shown in FIG. 1A are connected continuously. A variety of structures as described later can be assembled by connecting an arbitrary number in the vertical / horizontal direction and the vertical direction continuously or intermittently.
The same applies to the container-like unit members shown in FIGS. 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B, and the present invention is not limited to these container-like unit members. The container-shaped unit member may be a frame as shown in FIG. 1C or a cage as shown in FIG. 1D.

The container-like unit member and the container-like member illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be overlapped with each other, regardless of their shapes, such as polygons or curved surfaces, and can be vertically and horizontally and vertically. Any shape can be used as long as it can be continuously connected to the substrate. Further, a truncated cone or truncated pyramid flattened at the open surface thereof may be provided as a reinforcing portion at the bottom of the container to increase the strength of the container, or may be omitted. The necessary number and shape of the reinforcing portions can be provided according to the size and shape of the container-shaped unit member and the required strength.
Further, these container-like unit members are used alone or as a container-like member integrally molded as shown in FIG. Further, the container-like member shown in FIG. 2 has the four container-like unit members shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B integrally formed. However, the container-like members may be formed side by side in a row or may be different in number. Good.

FIGS. 4 to 6 show examples of a method of connecting the container-like unit members. FIG. 4 shows an example in which male and female joints that can be connected to each other are provided at the upper edge of the container-shaped unit member. Figure
4A is an example of a joint connected from the top and the bottom, and FIG. 4B is an example of a joint connected from the horizontal. By providing such a joint, the container-like unit members can be connected to each other in the horizontal direction.

FIG. 5 is an example showing a method for connecting the bottom surfaces of the container-shaped unit members. In FIG. 5A, female holes are provided at four corners of the bottom surface of the container-like unit member. FIG. 5B shows a state in which four container-shaped unit members are arranged so that their respective corners are in contact with each other, and are connected by a connection joint. FIGS. 5C and 5D are a plan view and a side view showing an example of a connection joint in which a male portion insertable into a female connection hole provided at a corner of the bottom surface of the container-like unit member is provided above and below a flat plate. . Since the connecting male portions are provided vertically, the container-shaped unit members can be connected in the up-down direction while contacting the bottom surfaces thereof.

FIG. 6 is an example showing a method for connecting container-like unit members at open surfaces that are in contact with each other. In FIG. 6A, female holes are provided at the four corners of the open surface of the container-shaped unit member. FIG. 6B shows a state in which four container-like unit members are arranged so that their respective corners are in contact with each other, and are connected by a connection joint. FIGS. 6C and 6D are a plan view and a side view showing an example of a connection joint in which a male portion insertable into a female connection hole provided at a corner of an edge of the container-shaped unit member is provided above and below a flat plate. is there.
Since the connecting male portions are provided vertically, it is possible for the container-shaped unit members to be connected in the up-down direction while contacting their open surfaces. In addition, since the connecting portion is narrow, the corner of the open surface and the back surface of the container is rounded.

The material of the container-like unit member is preferably made of plastic from the viewpoints of moldability, lightness and strength. The size is not particularly limited, but when assembled manually, a size of about 30 to 150 cm on a side is preferable from the viewpoint of easy handling. Since they can be connected to each other with light and simple joints, it is possible to assemble a structure having an arbitrary shape and appearance by freely arranging the container-like unit members vertically and horizontally without any tools. It goes without saying that a structure having a space inside can also be assembled.

FIGS. 7 to 15 show examples of a structure assembled using the container-shaped unit member. FIG. 7 to FIG. 11 show examples of structures such as amusement parks and theme parks which are temporarily provided for display or play.
2. FIG. 13 shows an example of a temporary construction for emergency use. FIG. 15 shows an example used for a long time.

FIG. 7 schematically shows a pyramid. Not only this, but the skeleton of the world's famous buildings and archeological sites can be constructed in a short period of time.

FIG. 8 shows a maze. Easy to assemble and disassemble, you can change the shape of the maze in a short time. It can be used permanently in theme parks.

FIG. 9 shows a pool. Temporary pools can be easily assembled by covering the area around the water tank with water-blocking sheets and filling with water. It can be assembled on the roof of the building and part of the schoolyard only during the summer.

FIG. 10 is a dinosaur. Not only in a theme park, but also in a parade or the like, the various skeletons can be easily assembled when a variety of animals and ornaments are put on the car and paraded.

FIG. 11 shows a seat. The seats needed for athletic and competition events are set up in a short time.

FIG. 12 shows a hot spring. It has the same configuration as the pool in Fig. 9, but if the surface of the impermeable sheet is covered with artificial rock or the like, a hot spring with a different shape and size can be assembled.

FIG. 13 shows a warehouse or temporary housing. It can be used as temporary storage for emergency transported goods or as a resting place for disaster victims.

FIG. 14 shows a bridge. As above, if a temporary bridge is needed for an emergency, it can be assembled in a short time.

FIG. 15 shows guide shelves which are provided around a fence or around a house and serve also for pruning windbreak forests or street trees. A container-shaped unit member is arranged stepwise around a tree, or a seedling is planted in a container-shaped unit member arranged stepwise, and a through hole provided in a gap between the container-shaped unit members or a surface of the container-shaped unit member. The tree shape can be adjusted by pruning the branches extending from. Since the pruning is performed stepwise in advance, the operation can be performed more safely than when pruning using a conventional ladder. In this case, it is preferable to use a container-shaped unit member having a large through hole on its surface or a frame-shaped unit member.

Although various structures have been described above, these structures are the framework of the target building.
Accordingly, these constructs can be covered or encased as necessary to provide a more attractive appearance. Further, the present invention is not necessarily limited to a temporary structure, and can be used for assembling a structure used for a long period of time.

In addition to assembling one structure with a single container-shaped unit member, it is also possible to assemble using a combination of container-shaped unit members having different shapes. Since the strength of the container-like unit member differs, it is desirable to use the right material in the right place. In this case, it is preferable that the different container-shaped unit members have the same size or have an integral multiple of unit length. By giving a unit length of an integral multiple, it is possible to assemble a more complicated shape.

When a large structure is used, the strength of the plastic container-shaped unit member cannot be maintained, so that it is possible to assemble by incorporating steel columns and beams as necessary.

According to the present invention, the structures are sequentially assembled from the bottom by using container-like unit members which can be overlapped with each other, and therefore the following effects are obtained. Since container-like unit members that can be overlapped with each other are used, transportation and storage are convenient. Since they are stacked in order from the bottom, it is easy to secure a scaffold. Also, since it can be made of a plastic molding material, it is lightweight and can be constructed in any shape without using special tools. It can be dismantled at the same time. Therefore, it is extremely convenient for construction of temporary buildings and structures. In addition, since it is assembled without using special tools, its disassembly is easy.
