【従来の技術】
従来、マンション、一戸建を問わず、部屋等の床下地材上に床材（例えばフローリング材）を敷設する場合には、鋸で縦枠材の下端と床下地材との間に施工せんとする床材の厚さに相当する隙間が生じるように切断加工する工法や、当該縦枠材の下端を切断せずに当該縦枠材の下端部分に敷設する床材の該当部分を縦枠材の形状に合わせて加工する工法が行われている。
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、これら従来の施工方法の場合、施工者の熟練した技量が要求され、且つ、かなりの手間がかかり、したがって、例えば、かなりの部屋数があるマンション等の建築物の場合には、１部屋当たりの施工の時間・手間と部屋数を考慮すると全体の施工コストがかなり高くなるという問題があった。

【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明の実施の形態について詳細に説明する。
（実施の形態１）
図１乃至図４は、本発明の実施の形態１の木工用の切断工具１を示すものである。
この切断工具１は、外周に円形鋸刃状の刃部２を有する薄い円板状の切断刃体３と、切断刃体３を支持し、且つ、図示していないが内蔵したモータにて回転駆動するＡＣ電源動作方式の工具本体４と、工具本体４を前記切断刃体３の刃部２を水平状態となるように固定支持する例えば木製板状の当接案内部材１０と、当接案内部材１０の平坦な当接面１０ａからの切断刃体３の刃部２の高さｈを調整する切断刃体高さ調整部１２とを有している。
前記工具本体４は、例えば、作業者の片手で把持可能な程度の外形寸法となる大きさの略直方体状に形成されている。
前記切断刃体３の中心部３ａは、図２に示すように、工具本体４の一端側の軸支部５に設けた垂直配置の原動軸６に取り付け具７を用いて一体に取り付けられ、これにより、工具本体４により切断刃体３を回転駆動するようになっている。前記切断刃体３を固定支持する当接案内部材１０は、前記軸支部５の下側を占める一端側１０ｄが前記切断刃体３の形状に合わせて半円弧状に切欠され、且つ、その上面上に切断刃体高さ調整部１２を介在しつつ工具本体４を一対の取り付けベルト具１１を用いて固定支持するようになっている。
一対の取り付けベルト具１１は、図４に示すように、当接案内部材１０に設けた挿通穴部１０ｂ及び当接面１０ａに設けた底溝１０ｃを巡り、且つ、工具本体４側に引き出され、この工具本体４の外周に掛け回されて重ね合わされ、ねじ式の締め付け部１１ａの締め付け操作により、工具本体４を当接案内部材１０に一体的に締め付け固定し、また、締め付け解除可能となっている。
前記切断刃体高さ調整部１２は、工具本体４と当接案内部材１０との間に設けられ、調整部材１３の厚さを替えて、すなわち、異なる厚さの調整部材１３を複数個適宜取り替えることで、前記切断刃体３の刃部２の高さｈを、当接面１０ａを基準として例えば３０ｍｍ程度等々、床材（例えばフローリング材）２３の厚さの範囲で種々に調整可能としている。
なお、本発明においては、前記切断刃体高さ調整部１２、前記調整部材１３を必須構成とするものではなく、当該各部を削除して構成しても良く、また、前記切断刃体高さ調整部１２に代替して、切断刃体高さ調整部１２を固定機構、例えば、前記調整部材１３の高さを床材（例えばフローリング材）２３の厚さに沿って予め決められた高さのものとして当該高さに固定した構成としても良い。
図１乃至図３中、符号１４は当接案内部材１０から工具本体４の両側に沿って立設した側部補助片である。また、図１、図２中、符号１５はＡＣ電源ケーブルである。
次に、上記構成の切断工具１を用いた床材施工工法について、例えばマンションの部屋等における例えばフローリング加工を行う場合を例にとり図５を参照して説明する。
まず、図５に示すように、切断工具１の当接案内部材１０の当接面１０ａを被当接材である床下材２０に接触させ、切断刃体３の刃部２を床下材２０から立設している例えば扉枠等を構成する縦枠材２１の床下材２０の近傍部分の位置に当てる。
この状態で、切断刃体３を回転駆動することにより、縦枠材２１の床下材２０の近傍部分が切断刃体３の刃部２により切断され、切断した部分を除去することで隙間２２を形成することができる。
この結果、隙間２２に相当する厚さの床材（例えばフローリング材）２３を何ら加工することなくその端部を前記隙間２２の部分に挿入して床下材２０上にきれいに美しく敷設することができる。
本実施の形態１の切断工具１及び切断工具１を用いた床材施工工法によれば以下の利点がある。
この切断工具１によれば、各種板厚の種類がある床材（例えばフローリング材）２３の厚さに合わせて切断工具１を調整し、縦枠材２１の下端部分を簡易に、すなわち、特殊な技術、技量を要することなく誰でも簡単に切断することができる。
また、本実施の形態１の床材施工工法によれば、当該縦枠材２１の下端部分を切断工具１を用いて施工せんとする床材（例えばフローリング材）２３の厚さに切断加工しておくことで、床材（例えばフローリング材）２３を何ら加工することなく縦枠材２１の下端部分にピタリとうまく潜り込ませ、全くの隙間なく敷設することができ、仕上がりの良好な床材２３の敷設施工を実現することが可能となり、施工時間がかなり短くなり、結果的に、施工工費を低減させることにもなる。
（実施の形態２）
図６乃至図９は、本発明の実施の形態２の木工用の切断工具１Ａ示すものである。
この切断工具１Ａは、外周に円形鋸刃状の刃部２を有する切断刃体３と、切断刃体３を支持し、且つ、図示していないが内蔵したモータにて回転駆動するＡＣ電源動作方式の工具本体４と、工具本体４を前記切断刃体３の刃部２を水平状態となるように固定支持する例えば木製板状の当接案内部材１０と、当接案内部材１０の平坦な当接面１０ａからの切断刃体３の刃部２の高さｈを０ｍｍを基準として０ｍｍ乃至数十ｍｍ（例えば３０ｍｍ程度）の範囲で調整する切断刃体高さ調整部１２とを有している。
前記工具本体４は、例えば、作業者の片手で把持可能な程度の外形寸法となる大きさの略直方体状に形成されている。
前記切断刃体３の中心部３ａ’は、図７において上側にカップ状に窪んだ形状に形成され、工具本体４の一端側の軸支部５に設けた垂直配置の原動軸６に取り付け具７を用いて切断刃体３の中心部を一体に取り付け、これにより、工具本体４により切断刃体３を回転駆動するようになっている。
また、切断刃体３の中心部３ａがカップ状に窪んだ形状であるため、切断刃体３の刃部２の下側端面は平坦面を形成し、下側端面より下方に突出する部分は皆無となっている。
前記切断刃体３を固定支持する当接案内部材１０は、前記軸支部５の下側を占める一端側１０ｄが前記切断刃体３の形状に合わせて半円弧状に切欠され、且つ、その上面上に切断刃体高さ調整部１２を介在しつつ工具本体４を一対の取り付けベルト具１１を用いて固定支持するようになっている。
一対の取り付けベルト具１１は、図９に示すように、当接案内部材１０に設けた挿通穴部１０ｂ及び当接面１０ａに設けた底溝１０ｃを巡り、且つ、工具本体４側に引き出され、この工具本体４の外周に掛け回されて、ねじ式の締め付け部１１ａの締め付け操作により、工具本体４を当接案内部材１０に一体的に締め付け固定し、また、締め付け解除するようになっている。
前記切断刃体高さ調整部１２は、工具本体４と当接案内部材１０との間に設けられ、図７に示すように、前記刃部２の下側端面と、当接面１０ａとが同一平面（高さｈ＝０ｍｍ）となるような厚さを有する調整部材１３を備えている。
そして、前記調整部材１３の厚さを替えて、すなわち、異なる厚さの調整部材１３を複数個適宜取り替えることにより、前記切断刃体３の刃部２の高さｈを０ｍｍを基準として０ｍｍ乃至３０ｍｍ程度の範囲で種々に調整可能としている。なお、本発明においては、前記切断刃体高さ調整部１２、前記調整部材１３を必須構成とするものではなく、当該各部を削除して構成しても良く、また、前記切断刃体高さ調整部１２に代替して、切断刃体高さ調整部１２を固定機構、例えば、前記調整部材１３の高さを０ｍｍとして当該高さに固定した構成としても良い。
前記当接案内部材１０から工具本体４の両側に沿って立設した側部補助片１４、ＡＣ電源ケーブル１５は実施の形態１と同様になっている。
次に、上記構成の切断工具１Ａを用いた床材施工工法について、例えばマンションの部屋等における例えばフローリング加工を行う場合を例にとり図１０乃至図１３を参照して説明する。
まず、図１０に示すように、切断工具１Ａの当接案内部材１０の当接面１０ａを被当接材である床下材２０に接触させ、切断刃体３の刃部２を床下材２０から立設している例えば扉枠を構成する縦枠材２１の床下材２０の近傍部分、すなわち、高さｈ＝０ｍｍの位置に当てる。
この状態で、切断刃体３を回転駆動することにより、図１１に示すように、縦枠材２１の床下材２０の近傍部分が切断刃体３の刃部２によりその厚さ分切断され、図１２に示すように隙間２２を形成することができる。
この結果、図１３に示すように、厚さが前記刃部２と同等程度の床材（例えばフローリング材）２３を何ら加工することなくその端部を前記隙間２２の部分に挿入して床下材２０上に敷設することができる。
床材（例えばフローリング材）２３の厚さが例えば２０ｍｍ程度であれば、上述した工法にて隙間２２を形成した後、切断工具１の調整部材１３を異なる厚さのものに取り替え、図１４に示すように前記高さｈ＝２０ｍｍの状態として、上述した場合と同様、縦枠材２１のｈ＝２０ｍｍに相当する位置を切断する。
これにより、例えば２０ｍｍの厚さの床材（例えばフローリング材）２３を何ら加工することなく新たに形成される隙間の部分に挿入して床下材２０上にきれいに美しく敷設することができる。
本実施の形態２の切断工具１Ａ及び切断工具１Ａを用いた床材施工工法によれば以下の利点がある。
この切断工具１Ａによれば、各種板厚の種類がある床材（例えばフローリング材）２３の厚さに合わせて切断工具１を調整し、縦枠材２１の下端部分を簡易に、すなわち、特殊な技術、技量を要することなく誰でも簡単に切断することができる。
また、本実施の形態２の床材施工工法によれば、当該縦枠材２１の下端部分を切断工具１を用いて施工せんとする床材２３の厚さに予め切断加工しておくことで、床材（例えばフローリング材）２３を何ら加工することなく縦枠材２１の下端部分にピタリとうまく潜り込ませ、全くの隙間なく敷設することができ、仕上がりの良好な床材２３の敷設施工を実現することが可能となり、施工時間がかなり短くなり、結果的に、施工工費を低減させることにもなる。
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、縦枠材の下端部分を簡易に、すなわち、特殊な技術、技量を要することなく誰でも簡単に切断することができる木工用の切断工具を提供することができる。特に、床下材と同一の平面（ｈ＝０ｍｍ）を基準にして縦枠材の下端部分を容易に切断できる。
また、本発明によれば、縦枠材の下端部分を上記切断工具を用いて施工せんとする床材の厚さに切断加工しておくことで、床材を何ら加工することなく縦枠材に対して全くの隙間なく敷設することができ、仕上がりの良好な床材の敷設施工を実現することが可能となり、施工時間短く、施工工費を低減させることが可能な床材施工工法を提供することができる。

Tool body 4, a contact guide member 10 in the form of, for example, a wooden plate for fixing and supporting the tool body 4 so that the blade portion 2 of the cutting blade body 3 is in a horizontal state, and a flat surface of the contact guide member 10. A cutting blade body height adjusting section 12 for adjusting the height h of the blade section 2 of the cutting blade body 3 from the contact surface 10a in a range of 0 mm to several tens mm (for example, about 30 mm) based on 0 mm. I have.
The tool body 4 is formed, for example, in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape having an outer dimension that can be gripped by one hand of an operator.
The central portion 3a 'of the cutting blade body 3 is formed into a cup-shaped concave shape on the upper side in FIG. 7, and is attached to a vertically arranged driving shaft 6 provided on a shaft support portion 5 on one end side of the tool body 4. The central part of the cutting blade body 3 is integrally attached by using the tool, so that the cutting blade body 3 is rotationally driven by the tool body 4.
In addition, since the central portion 3a of the cutting blade body 3 has a concave shape in a cup shape, the lower end surface of the blade portion 2 of the cutting blade body 3 forms a flat surface, and the portion projecting downward from the lower end surface is It is completely empty.
The contact guide member 10 for fixedly supporting the cutting blade 3 has one end 10 d occupying the lower side of the shaft support 5 cut out in a semicircular arc shape according to the shape of the cutting blade 3, and has an upper surface thereof. The tool main body 4 is fixedly supported using a pair of mounting belt tools 11 with the cutting blade body height adjusting section 12 interposed therebetween.
