[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application] The present invention relates to a joint cover which is attached to a joint of an outer wall material used for a structure such as a house to improve the appearance and waterproof treatment, and particularly a downspout or a wiring gutter for flowing rainwater. The present invention relates to a joint cover that integrally includes a duct for piping.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, for buildings such as houses and businesses, a construction method is often used in which after constructing a structural part, a panel-shaped outer wall material is attached to the outer surface to finish. Such a construction method has an advantage that an outer wall material can be manufactured in advance in a factory or the like, a construction period at a construction site can be shortened, and a uniform outer surface finish can be expected. However, since a plurality of outer wall materials manufactured in a predetermined size are used in combination, joints must be jointed, waterproofing must be performed, and the outer appearance must be finished so as not to be unsightly.

Conventionally, such joints of outer wall materials are filled with a backup caulking material after inserting a backup material, a dry gasket is attached, and a joint cover for covering the joints from the outside is attached with a waterproof tape or the like. The method etc. are used. On the other hand, the vertical gutter that guides the rainwater that has flowed down from the roof of the building to the eaves gutter to the drain pipe on the ground or underground is fixed along the outer wall using a mounting bracket or the like.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the conventional downspout is generally attached after the outer wall is constructed,
There is a problem that a separate mounting operation is required and the appearance of the building is impaired. In addition, distribution lines and telephone lines,
When the antenna wire is attached to the outer wall of the building,
Even if water pipes and gas pipes are arranged along the outer wall surface, the appearance of the building will be impaired.

On the other hand, the joint treatment is carried out completely separately from the above-mentioned vertical gutter installation work, wiring / piping work, etc., and each work process is required. Therefore, there is also a demand to shorten the construction period on site by performing the joint treatment process at the same time as other processes.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to integrate a joint cover of an outer wall material with a vertical gutter or a duct for wiring / piping.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a joint cover capable of simplifying the work and improving the appearance of a building.

[0007]

In order to solve the above problems, the joint cover according to the invention described in claim 1 is

The board portion 52 has a mounting hole 54 for fixing to the wall body with a screw 56, and also has engaging protrusions 55 continuous on both sides along the long side. Each of the engagement protrusions 55 has a tip end portion curved outward, and a portion near the tip end has a curved cross section. On the other hand, the outer portion 53 is a groove-shaped member having a substantially equal cross section in the longitudinal direction, and is bent inward so that the tip portions 53a in the cross section face each other, and the inside of the bent portion has a curved cross section.

In such a joint cover, the waterproof tape 5 is provided on the outer surface of the outer wall member at a position along the vertical joint 58 of the base plate portion 52.
7 and is fixed to the wall body by screws 56. The waterproof tape 57 maintains the waterproofness of the joints. After arranging a distribution line or the like along the board portion 52, the outer portion 53 is joined to the board portion 52. This coupling is performed by locking the bent portion near the tip of the outer portion to the engaging projection 55 of the substrate 52. The outer side portion 53 is elastically deformed so that the front end portion spreads to both sides, and is locked beyond the curved front end portion of the engaging projection 55. At this time, the engaging protrusion 5
Since the vicinity of the tip of 5 and the inside of the bent portion of the outer portion 53 have a curved cross section, the tip end surface 53b of the outer portion abuts the substrate portion 52 and engages with the outer portion 53 due to the wedge-like effect. The projection 55 is pressed into contact with each other, and both are firmly engaged.

FIG. 9 is a sectional view and a schematic perspective view showing a joint cover which is an embodiment of the invention described in claim 4. The joint cover 61 is a cylindrical member having a substantially rectangular cross section and a substrate portion 62 similar to the joint cover 51 shown in FIG. 8, and protrudes from two adjacent corner portions so as to face outward.
