TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a panel material connecting jig, and more particularly to a jig for temporarily fixing a joiner and a panel material when a panel material forming an interior wall surface such as a unit bath is joined to a metal joiner. is there.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A connection structure for interior panels that can be easily connected to multiple interior panels without the need for fasteners such as bolts or screws, and without creating wasted space outside the interior panels. Is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-41125.
[0003]
In this prior art, a bar-shaped hole is formed in a square pipe-shaped panel frame, and a connection protrusion having an enlarged diameter head that passes through the large-diameter hole of the bar-shaped hole and engages with the small-diameter hole is connected to the panel frame. It is provided in the joiner.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, according to this conventional technique, since the connection protrusion provided on the joiner must be engaged with the round hole provided on the panel frame and the joiner must be driven in, the interior panel is actually connected from the front side. The work required skill.
[0005]
The present invention has been devised to solve such problems of the related art, and a main object of the present invention is to provide a jig for facilitating an interconnecting operation between a panel material and a joiner. It is in.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve such an object, according to claim 1 of the present invention, a jig (1) for connecting a plurality of panel members (2) with their edges facing each other by a joiner (3). And a support member (4) in contact with the surface of the panel material, and a thin strip shape capable of passing through a gap (G) between edges of the panel material facing each other. A traction member (7) provided with an engaging portion (hook portion 6 in the embodiment) with a joiner, and a non-return means (traction member in the embodiment) provided between the support member and the traction member And a projection 9) of the resilient piece 10 are provided.
[0007]
With this configuration, first, the support member is brought into contact with the surface of the panel material, then the traction member inserted from the gap between the edges of the panel material facing each other is engaged with the joiner, and the traction member is further pulled. For example, the state in which the joiner is temporarily fixed to the back surface of the panel material is maintained by the tension acting between the support member and the traction member.
[0008]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, the non-return means is provided in a recessed portion (8) provided in the traction member and continuing in a rack gear shape, in a resilient piece (10) provided in the support member, and in a resilient piece. And a projection (9) corresponding to the recessed portion.
[0009]
According to this, the projection of the resilient piece engages with the recess of the traction member, and the temporary fixing state of the panel material and the joiner by the support member and the traction member is maintained, and the resilient piece is displaced. Thus, the engagement between the concave portion and the convex portion can be easily released.
[0010]
Further, in the third aspect, the contact surface of the support member with respect to the surface of the panel member is formed by a plane perpendicular to the sliding direction of the traction member (parallel plane 12) and a plane intersecting at an angle of approximately 45 degrees (right angle plane). 13).
[0011]
According to this, the operation of connecting the two panel materials on the same plane and the operation of connecting the two panel materials at a right angle can be performed with one jig.
[0012]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0013]
FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show a panel material connecting jig configured according to the present invention. The jig 1 is used, for example, when connecting two panel members 2 whose edges are opposed to each other with a metal joiner 3 in forming an interior wall surface of a unit bath or the like. A support member 4 having an abutment surface (described later) with the surface of each panel member 2, and a thin strip shape capable of passing through a gap G between the end edges of two panel members 2 opposed to each other, and The traction member 7 includes a hook portion 6 that slides into the groove 5 formed in the support member 4 and engages with the joiner 3 at the end thereof.
[0014]
The traction member 7 is formed by injection-molding a synthetic resin material, and a concave portion 8 having a sawtooth cross section is continuously formed on one side surface thereof over an appropriate range.
[0015]
The support member 4 is formed by injection-molding a synthetic resin material, and has a cross-sectional shape for engaging the groove 5 slidably receiving the traction member 7 and the recess 8 of the traction member 7 received in the groove 5. The traction member 7 is moved by the resilient piece 10 at a position opposite to the resilient piece 10 having a serrated convex portion 9 formed at an intermediate portion thereof and the resilient piece 9 of the resilient piece 10 with the groove 5 interposed therebetween. And a projecting piece 11 for exerting a resilient force for pressing the same.
[0016]
The contact surface of the support member 4 with respect to the surface of each panel member 2 is formed at an angle of approximately 45 degrees with the parallel surface 12 orthogonal to the sliding direction of the traction member 7 and the sliding direction of the traction member 7. And a right-angled surface 13 intersecting therewith. Accordingly, the support member 4 has a substantially trapezoidal shape in a plan view, and the resilient piece 10 and the protruding piece 11 are provided on the bottom side thereof.
[0017]
On the other hand, a frame portion 14 having a U-shaped cross section is formed at the edge of each panel member 2. A rectangular hole 15 that engages with the joiner 3 is formed in a surface of the frame portion 14 parallel to the general surface of the panel material 2.
[0018]
As the joiner 3, there are prepared two types, a flat joiner 3 having a U-shaped cross-sectional shape shown in FIG. 3 and a corner joiner 3A having a cross-sectional shape in which a V-shape shown in FIG. A pair of tongue-shaped engaging pieces 16 corresponding to the rectangular holes 15 formed in the frame part 14 are formed by cutting and raising on a surface facing the frame part 14, and a pair of tongue-shaped engagement pieces are formed. A slit 17 is formed by punching between the pieces 16 so that the hook portion 6 provided at the free end of the traction member 7 can be inserted therethrough.
[0019]
Next, how to use the jig according to the present invention will be described.
[0020]
First, when connecting a plurality of panel members 2 on the same plane, a flat joiner 3 having a U-shaped cross section is used. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the parallel surface 12 of the support member 4 is brought into contact so as to straddle the abutting portion of the two panel materials 2, and the gap G between the opposing edges of the two panel materials 2 is formed. The traction member 7 is inserted toward the back side of the panel material 2 from above. After the hook 6 projecting from the back surface of the panel material 2 is inserted into the slit 17 of the flat joiner 3, the jig 1 is slid downward along the surface of the panel material 2 to protrude outside the flat joiner 3. The part 6 is engaged with the flat joiner 3.
[0021]
In this state, the traction member 7 is pulled toward the user, and a pair of tongue-shaped engagement pieces 16 are received in the rectangular holes 15 of the two frame parts 14 of the two panel members 2 arranged side by side. The U-shaped inner surface of the joiner 3 simultaneously holds the frame portions 14 of the two panel members 2. At this time, the protruding ends of the concave portion 8 of the traction member 7 and the convex portion 9 of the resilient piece 10 abut, but the resilient piece 10 elastically deforms outward to allow the traction member 7 to slide.
[0022]
In a state where no pulling force is applied to the traction member 7, the engagement of the projection 9 of the resilient piece 10 with the recess 8 of the traction member 7 is held by the resilient force of the projection 11. Since the return is prevented, the connected state of the flat joiner 3 and the frame portion 14 is maintained. In this state, the flat joiner 3 is beaten from above using a hammer or the like, so that the tongue-shaped engaging piece 16 that has entered the rectangular hole 15 gets over the lower edge of the hole 15 and engages with the frame portion 14. Thus, the two panel materials 2 are connected by the flat joiner 3.
[0023]
When the two panel members 2 are connected at a right angle, as shown in FIG. 4, the triple V-shaped corner joiner 3A is used. The connecting operation in this case is basically the same as that of the flat joiner 3 described above.
[0024]
When the joiner 3 connects the two panel materials 2, the free end of the resilient piece 10 is pushed out in a direction to separate the protrusion 9 of the resilient piece 10 from the recess 8 of the traction member 7, Since the engagement between the traction member 7 and the resilient piece 10 is released, the jig 1 can be easily removed simply by pulling out the traction member 7.
[0025]
The gap G between the two panel members 2 can be closed by applying a caulking agent or the like as in the conventional construction method.
[0026]
In the above-described embodiment, the case where the frame 14 is formed integrally with the edge of the panel material 2 has been described. However, the frame is a member separate from the panel material 2 such as a square pipe. It may be configured.
[0027]
【The invention's effect】
As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the state in which the joiner is drawn to the back surface of the panel material can be held by a simple operation, so that a great effect is obtained in simplifying the construction of this kind of interior panel. Can play.
