DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of constructing a wall panel, and more particularly, to a length (a frontage dimension; hereinafter referred to as a frontage) of a plurality of wall panel rows erected with their front faces aligned. May be abbreviated.)

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a unit room such as a unit bathroom, a plurality of wall panels are erected such that the front surfaces of the wall panels are aligned, and the width of the upper part of the wall panel is adjusted.

Conventionally, the frontage is adjusted by using a rail having a downward U-shaped cross section extending from one end to the other end of the wall panel row. That is, the rails are arranged and fitted so as to straddle the upper end of each wall panel. Then, the worker pushes the wall panel in the direction of shortening the frontage and maintains the pushed state, and in this state, another worker fixes the rail and each wall panel with screws.

[0004]

In such a conventional frontage adjustment method, at least two workers are required, and labor costs are increased. Moreover, it is necessary to strongly press the wall panel in a direction to shorten the frontage, resulting in severe work fatigue and low efficiency.

[0005]

According to the method of constructing a wall panel of the present invention, a plurality of independent wall panels are erected in a row with their front faces aligned, and a rail is fitted to the upper end of these wall panels. Fixing one end of the rail to a wall panel at one end of the row of wall panels, attaching a corner fitting to the upper end of the other end of the row of wall panels, and placing the corner fitting between the rail and the corner fitting. A step of screwing a bolt extending in the panel row direction so as to be screwable, and a step of adjusting the frontage of the upper part of the wall panel by turning the bolt to bring the other end of the rail closer to the corner fitting. , Is provided.

In the present invention, the above-described steps may be performed in the above-described order. The order of the steps may be changed within a workable range, for example, the corner fitting may be attached to the wall panel prior to the fitting of the rail. Is also good.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the frontage can be shortened by tightening the bolt, and this work becomes light work.
Moreover, one worker can perform the operation in a very short time.

Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a method of constructing a wall panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a horizontal sectional view showing a state during construction, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a corner fitting and a corner frame. 4 and 5 are front views schematically showing the construction method.

In FIG. 1, a wall panel 1 is
2 is provided, and the lower ends of the plurality of wall panels 12 are fitted to the runner 14. The runner 14 is provided in a frame shape so as to surround a unit room such as a unit bathroom, and a lower end of a corner frame 16 is fitted into a corner of the runners 14 and 14.

The rail 18 fitted to the upper end of the wall panel 12 has a downward U-shaped cross section in this embodiment. The corner fitting 20 is formed by connecting downward U-shaped angles so that the plan-view shape becomes an L-shape, and its detailed structure is shown in FIG. Third
In the figure, 22 is a downward U-shaped angle, and L
It is welded so as to have a character shape. Further, a reinforcing plate 24 in the form of a triangular plate is fixed by welding or the like so as to connect the angles 22.

Reference numeral 26 denotes a drawing jig for drawing the rail 18 and the corner fitting 20, and a pair of L fittings 28, 3
0 and a bolt 3 installed between these L brackets 28 and 30
2 is provided. The bolt insertion hole provided in the L fitting 30 is a through hole, and the L fitting 28 has a female screw hole into which the bolt 32 is screwed.

The construction procedure will be described below. First, while the required number of wall panels 12 are built on the runner 14,
The corner frames 16 are erected on both ends of the panel row.
Then, the corner fitting 20 is fitted to the corner frame 16 and the upper end of the wall panel 12 in the room corner portion, and fixed to the wall panel 12 with screws. Thereafter, the rail 18 is fitted to the upper end of the wall panel 12, and one end 18 a of the rail 18 is fixed to the corner fitting 20 with a screw 34. The delivery jig 26 extends over the other end 18b of the rail 18 and the corner fitting 20 on the other end 18b side.
And fix each L metal fitting 28, 30 to the corner metal fitting 20 and the rail 18 with screws 36, 38. Thereafter, the bolt 32 is turned to bring the L brackets 28 and 30 closer to each other. Then, the upper ends of the wall panels 12 are drawn, whereby the frontage dimension L (see FIG. 5) is adjusted. That is, before the bolts 32 are tightened, there is a required gap between the upper ends of the wall panels 12 as shown in FIG.
The gap between them is reduced, and the frontage dimension L is adjusted. The width dimension of the lower end of each wall panel 12 is such that the lower end of each wall panel 12 is fitted to the runner 14 and the base plates 40, 42
It is fixed by being arranged between them.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a groove 44 extending in the vertical direction is formed in the side end face of each wall panel 12 so as to be provided between the grooves 44 of the adjacent wall panels 12. The joint panel 46 is fitted so as to be suspended. The joint panel 46 is fixed to one of the adjacent wall panels 12, 12 with a screw 48, and is slidably fitted to the other wall panel. Accordingly, when the bolt 32 is tightened, the joint panel 46 is pushed into the groove 44, and the gap between the wall panels 12, 12 is compressed.

The corner frame 16 is also provided with a ridge 16a extending in the vertical direction on the side surface thereof, and the ridge 16a is fitted into the groove 44 of the wall panel 12.

As is apparent from the above description, according to the frontage adjusting method according to this embodiment, the frontage dimension L can be adjusted as desired by simply screwing the bolt 32, and the frontage adjustment operation can be performed by one worker. This operation can be performed very easily and in a short time.

In the above embodiment, two corner frames 1
The front dimension of the wall panel 12 between 6 and 16 is set to one rail 1
Although the adjustment is made at step 8, for example, when another pillar is built between the corner frames 16 and 16, a rail is suspended between the pillar and the corner frame 16,
The frontage size may be adjusted. In some cases, the L bracket 30 of the delivery jig 26 may be fixed to the rail 18 and the other L bracket 28 may be fixed to the upper end of the wall panel 12.

In the above embodiment, the drawing jig 26 is left as it is after adjusting the width dimension of the wall panel 12. However, in the present invention, after adjusting the frontage dimension using the drawing jig 26, each wall panel 12 and the rail 18 are fixed with screws or the like, and the drawing jig 26 may be removed. good. In this way, the delivery jig 26 can be used at the next construction site.

[0018]

As described above, according to the wall panel construction method of the present invention, the number of workers required for construction is reduced, and the labor cost can be significantly reduced. Further, the work for adjusting the width of the frontage becomes light, and this work can be easily performed in a short time.
