Description

  The present invention relates to a household carport.

  Specific publicly known documents such as patent gazettes cannot be cited as conventional home carports, but roof type carports conventionally used as home carports have a beam portion at the upper end of the column portion. A substantially L-shaped support frame that protrudes in a horizontal or upward inclined manner is erected on one side of the carport site at regular intervals, and a metal plate such as tin or A fixed roof is formed by spanning a roof member made of a hard plastic plate such as polycarbonate.

  In the conventional roof type carport, since the roof is rigidly installed such as a metal plate or a plastic plate as described above, when the strong wind is blown like a typhoon, the roof member is moved by the wind pressure. It often suffered damage such as being blown away or damage to the support frame together with the roof member.

  In view of the above-described problems, the present invention provides a carport in which a rain protection member that forms a roof portion is folded during a strong wind such as a typhoon so that damage caused by such a strong wind is reduced as much as possible. With the goal.

  The structure of the carport will be described in more detail. A bend portion 1o is integrally formed at the upper end portion of the support column 1a of each support frame 1, and an upwardly inclined beam portion 1b is formed at the tip of the bend portion 1o. Are connected together via a joint rod 7. In addition, the front end side of the bend part 1o forms a part of the beam part 1b.

  As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the pair of guide rails 2 and 2 are made of a stainless steel channel material having groove-shaped rail portions 2a and 2a on both sides of the lower end portion. 1b is attached to rail mounting frames 9, 9 each having a U-shaped cross section fixed to the lower surface side of both end portions via L-shaped fixing brackets 8 respectively. Each L-shaped fixing bracket 8 is attached to the lower surface side of the beam portion 1 b with a screw 10, a rail mounting frame 9 is fixed to the fixing bracket 8 with a bolt 11, and the guide rail 2 is bolted to the rail mounting frame 9. Attached by.

  The rain protection member 3 is formed by forming a relatively soft plastic sheet material or tent material having flexibility into a rectangular shape having a predetermined size. The rain protection member 3 has a width approximately equal to the width of the rain protection member 3. As shown in FIG. 5 (a), bone members 4 made of, for example, aluminum rods having the same length are attached and fixed at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the rain protection member 3, and each bone member 4 is fixed. The hangers 6 are attached to the both ends.

  Each hanger 6 is configured by attaching a rain protection member mounting bracket 14 to a screw shaft portion 13a on a lower side of a hanger main body 13 on which a pair of guide wheels 5 and 5 are attached so that the height thereof can be adjusted. Is attached to the end portion of each bone member 4 in a state where it is engaged with the rail portions 2 a and 2 a of the guide rail 2. The rain protection member mounting bracket 14 is formed in a substantially inverted L shape, and the nut 15 is inserted into the upper plate portion 14a through the screw shaft portion 13a of the hanger body 13 and screwed into the screw shaft portion 13a from below. The lower plate portion 14b is fixed to the end portion of the bone member 4 by a bolt 16 while being fixed so as to be adjustable in height.

  In order to attach the bone member 4 to the rain protection member 3, the bone member 4 is applied to the lower surface side of the rain protection member 3 and fixed by bonding the bone member 4 to the rain protection member 3 with an adhesive. Alternatively, a bag portion for inserting the bone member 4 into the rain protection member 3 may be formed in advance, and the bone member 4 may be inserted into the bag portion.

  FIG. 5 (a) schematically shows a state in which the rain guard 3 is in an extended position extending over the entire length of the guide rail 2, like the rain guard 3 shown in FIG. (b) illustrates a state in which the rain protection member 3 is in a contracted position in which the rain protection member 3 is folded and contracted to one end of the guide rail 2, and the rain protection member 3 is in the extended position as shown in (a). And (b) can be expanded and contracted to the contracted position.

At the other end of the rail 2, it can be held on the guide rail 2 by appropriate stopper means for holding the rain guard 3 in the extended position. As an example of simple stopper means, a notch portion for dropping the guide wheel 5 into the rail portion 2 a is provided at the other end portion of the guide rail 2, and the top of the rain protection member 3 is at the extension position of the rain protection member 3. The guide ring 5 of the hanger 6 located at the position may be dropped into the notch.

  Further, as can be seen from FIG. 5, the rain protection member 3 has adjacent bones so that the rain protection member 3 forms a bending portion 3a having an arcuate cross section between the adjacent bone members 4 and 4 at the extended position. Since the members 4 and 4 are connected to each other by the bending portion forming string 17, the rain protection member 3 has a corrugated or bellows shape in the extended position, that is, the use position, and the appearance and appearance are improved. The design effect can be exhibited. Note that, at the extended position of the rain protection member 3, the bending portion forming string 17 is in a tensioned state as shown in FIG. 5 (c), but at the contracted position, the phantom line shown in FIG. The bent portion 3a is further bent and folded.

  In addition, a plurality of sets of crossing bars 18 and 18 are interposed between the pair of guide rails 2 and 2 as shown by a one-dot chain line in FIGS. 1 and 3, thereby maintaining the distance between the two guide rails 2 and 2. Like to do. 4A shows a state in which the end 18a of each crossing difference 18 is attached to the rail attachment frame 9 with bolts 19. FIG. In this embodiment, the crossing bars 18, 18 are interposed between the rail mounting frames 9, 9. Since the guide rail 2 is integrally mounted on the rail mounting frame 9, both guide rails 2, It is substantially the same as having the crossing bars 18 and 18 interposed between the two, and can maintain the distance between the two guide rails 2 and 2, and the beam portion 1b of the support frame 1 is slightly deformed in a strong wind. Even in such a case, the expansion / contraction operation of the rain protection member 3 can be performed smoothly.

  In the carport constructed as described above, the rain protection member 3 is normally extended to the extension position as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 (a), and this extension is performed by an appropriate stopper means. Hold in position. And, for example, when the typhoon comes and the typhoon is approaching soon, the rain protection member 3 that has been held in the extended position until then is unfolded by the stopper means and then expanded to be folded. The position is contracted to a contracted position as shown in FIG. In this contracted position, the contracted rain protection member 3 may be bound with an appropriate string. As described above, in the case of a strong wind such as a typhoon, the rain protection member 3 is folded and contracted, so that damage to the carport due to the strong wind such as a typhoon can be minimized.

  In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the bone members 4 extending in the width direction are attached to the rain protection member 3 at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the rain prevention member 3, and the hangers 6 are attached to both ends of each bone member 4. Each rain hanger 6 is slidably supported on the guide rail 2 so that the rain protection member 3 can be expanded and contracted between the extended position and the contracted position. 3 shows an embodiment in which 3 is expanded and contracted. That is, in this embodiment, as shown in (a), the rain protection member 3 is provided with folds 21 at regular intervals in the length direction, and the fold mountain 22 that is the outer portion of each fold 21 is (a ), Rail insertion holes 23 and 23 are formed through both ends of the fold mountain 22 so that the guide rail 2 made of, for example, a wire is opposed to the fold mountains 22 and 22 adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction of the rain protection member. The rail insertion holes 23 are inserted between the rail insertion holes 23 and 23, so that the rain protection member 3 can be expanded and contracted to an extended position as shown in (a) and a contracted position as shown in (b). be able to.
