[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a connecting member for connecting left and right (horizontal) of an enclosure having a middle folding line in a longitudinal direction.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When connecting adjacent enclosures on the left and right sides, there is a method in which both side edges are turned back to make a handle, and the outer member is joined to a connection member. An example of a prior art connection member used at that time will be described with reference to FIGS.
The connection member 1 of (a) is made of a single metal plate, and is provided with a connection piece 2b by folding right and left ends thereof to the surface side.

[0003] A connection member 1 shown in (b) is provided on a discarding plate 3 having a folded portion 3c provided opposite thereto, with a connection piece 2 opposed thereto.
The right and left sides of the fitting body 2 having b are inserted and fixed. The connecting member 1 of (c) is configured such that the protruding pieces 6 provided on the upper and lower sides of the fitting body 2 having the connecting pieces 2b are respectively raised at the facing bent portions 3c provided on the discard plate 3 at the rising portions 3c.
The fitting body 2 is fixed by being inserted into the folded portion 3c formed on the g and the descending portion 3d.

[0004] These are used for connecting the left and right side of the roofing shingle 5 without the middle folding line as the outer enclosure, and the construction method is, as shown in FIG. 5 is hooked on the eaves side of the connection piece 2b.
Next, the sliding part 5 is slid in the direction of arrow C so that the engaging part 5a of the roofing shingle 5 contacts the downward part 3d of the connecting member 1. Subsequently, the roof shingle 5 is slid in the direction of the arrow D and fixed so that there is no displacement or backlash.

[0005]

First, the connecting member of (a) is made of one metal plate, and it is necessary to make the connecting member of the same color and the same material as the roofing shingle. For this reason, the material has been wasted. In (b) and (c), since the fitting body is inserted into the bent portion of the discard plate and fixed, it takes time to manufacture the connection member.

Furthermore, the connecting members shown in FIG. 4 are for a roofing shingle without a center-fold line, and when they are used for a roofing shingle with a center-fold line, the following problems occur. There was a point. First, when the roof shingle was slid in the direction of the arrow C in FIG.

[0007] As an envelope using a connecting member provided with connecting pieces, for example, there is a roof plate with a mid-folded line, and the molding method is that first, both ends in the longitudinal direction are turned back to make a folded sheet. Next, the roofing shingle is molded through a molding machine. However, since a middle folding line is formed at the end, the top is easily broken when the top hits. Furthermore, when making such a connecting member of a roofing shingle, since a middle folding line is inserted at the end, it is crushed. For this reason, it has not been possible to connect the roofing shingles with a mid-fold line properly, and the development of a connecting member that can be easily connected has been awaited.

The present invention solves these problems and provides a connecting member that can be easily connected without waste of material when connecting the enclosing body having a center-fold line to the left and right.

[0009]

The connecting member of the present invention comprises a discard plate and a fitting. The discarding plate has a water return portion in which both left and right ends are folded back to the surface side, has at least a pair of opposing folded portions, provides a rising portion by raising the upper edge, and lowers the lower edge to lower. And a fixing portion for fixing the fitting body formed between the opposed bent portions is provided, and a middle folding line is inserted in the width direction.

[0010] The fitting body has a connecting piece which is formed by folding the left and right sides of the found portion toward the front surface side, facing up, providing a rising portion by rising an upper edge, and providing a falling portion by folding a lower edge. The center line is inserted in the direction. Further, the connection piece has a notch around the center line. Then, the fitting body is fixed on a fixing portion formed between the bent portions of the discard plate.

[0011]

First, one of the folded members of the outer enclosure having the center-fold line is placed on the finding part between the connecting pieces of the fitting body of the connecting member, and the engaging part is placed on the lower part of the connecting member. Slide to hit. Next, the outer body is slid sideways so that the folded edge engages with the connection piece of the fitting body of the connection member.

A rising portion 2g is provided, an eave side is folded down to provide a falling portion 2d, and a middle folding line 2f is inserted in the width direction. The ridge side and the eave side of the connection piece 2b are cut out so that they can be easily combined with the folded roof shingles.

The connecting piece 2b has a notch 2c formed by cutting out the periphery of the center line 2f. If the notch 2c is cut to a position where the notch 2c comes into contact with the bent portion 3c of the discard plate 3, the fitting body 2 at that portion becomes one sheet, the strength is reduced, and the rain finish is deteriorated. It is notched at an arbitrary position between the tip 3c. Because of the notch 2c, the horizontal roof shingle collapsed at the mid-fold line can be easily connected by the connecting pieces 2b located above and below the notch 2c. Further, claws 2a are provided on the left and right sides of the rising portion 2g and the falling portion 2d, and the central portion of the falling portion 2d is folded back toward the ridge.

It is difficult to work with the connection piece 2b. However, due to the presence of the notch 2c, a smooth connection can be achieved by the procedures (b) to (d).

[0027]

Since the connecting member of the present invention comprises a discard plate and a fitting body, the discard plate does not have to be the same color as the main body.
For this reason, a discarding plate can be made in advance, and it is more economical than a conventional connecting member which is made of a single metal plate and is covered with materials. Further, since it is not necessary to insert the fitting body into the bent portion of the discard plate and fix it, no trouble is required when manufacturing the connection member.

Further, if the connecting member of the present invention is used, since the notch is provided around the center folding line, the center bending line is provided at the finding portion between the connecting pieces of the fitting body of the connecting member. One of the folded pieces of the outer body is placed, and the engaging portion slides so as to hit the lower part of the connecting member. Then, the folded piece of the outer body engages with the connecting piece of the fitting body of the connecting member. By simply sliding sideways as described above, it is possible to easily connect even an outer enclosure having a middle polygonal line.
