Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is a method for assembling walls, roofs, partitions, etc. of auxiliary buildings by connecting multiple panels via frame members. This invention relates to a member that simultaneously presses the edges and fixes them to a frame component.

For example, the roofs of sunrooms, greenhouses, etc. are made by connecting multiple glass or transparent plastic panels through frame members placed within the roof frame. The work of attaching the edges of the panels is quite tedious and dangerous, partly because the panels are heavy.

This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and the object thereof is to provide a fixing member that can easily attach a panel edge to a frame constituent member.

In this specification, up and down, left and right refer to FIG. 2.

The panel edge fixing member according to this invention is a member that presses the edge of an adjacent panel through the frame member and fixes it to the frame member, and the panel edge fixing member is a member that presses the edge of an adjacent panel through the frame member and fixes it to the frame member. It is equipped with a wall, a connecting part that connects the upper edges of the opposing walls, and a presser part that is provided on the lower edge of the opposing wall and presses down the panel. It is provided with an engaging portion that fits.

Since the fixing member of this invention is configured as described above, when fixing adjacent panel edges to the frame structure member via the frame structure member, the panel edge is attached to the panel receiver of the frame structure member. When the fixing member is placed over the frame member, the inner surface of the opposing wall will align with both left and right sides of the frame member, the engaging portion will engage with a part of the frame member, and the presser portion will hold the panel. The fixing member is fixed to the frame member while pressing the edge. Therefore, the edge of the panel can be easily fixed to the frame component.

This invention will be described below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. This example shows a case in which the fixing member is used to fix a panel to a frame member on the roof of a sunroom.

The roof 2 of the sunroom 1 has a plurality of roof panels 4 made of double glass arranged between frame members 3 made of extruded aluminum and arranged at predetermined intervals in the left and right direction. The edge portion is formed by being fixed to the frame member 3 by a fixing member 5 made of an aluminum extrusion.

The frame component 3 has a substantially I-shaped cross section and includes a vertical web 3a, a lower flange 3b, and an upper flange 3.
It is equipped with c. The left and right edges of the lower flange 3b are bent upward, and a panel receiving portion 3d is provided that extends to the upper edge and projects both left and right. A synthetic resin heat insulating material 6 is attached to the panel receiving portion 3d over its entire length. A fitting groove 6a extending in the longitudinal direction is provided at the center of the height of the surface of the heat insulating material 6 facing the frame component 3 side, and the panel receiving part 3d is fitted into this fitting groove 6a. , a heat insulating material 6 is attached to the panel receiving portion 3d. Furthermore, a tapping screw fitting groove 3e that opens downward and extends in the longitudinal direction is provided on the lower surface of the lower flange 3b. A heat insulating cover 8 made of extruded aluminum is attached to the lower surface of the lower flange 3b via a heat insulating material 7. This cover 8 is attached by screwing a tapping screw 9 passing through the cover 8 and the heat insulating material 7 from below into the tapping screw fitting groove 3e. The left and right side edges of the top surface of the cover 8 are in close contact with the bottom surface of the heat insulating material 6, and are prevented from coming into contact with the frame component 3 by the heat insulating materials 6 and 7, so that there is no space between the frame component 3 and the cover 8. A heat insulating space is formed. Internal enlarged grooves 10 that open laterally and extend in the longitudinal direction are provided on both left and right side surfaces of the cover 8, respectively. The internal enlarged groove 10 functions as a rail for guiding a runner of a curtain or screen or a roller of a movable sunshade panel. Further, the lower surface of the cover 8 is provided with an internal enlarged groove 11 for storing electrical cords, etc., which opens downward and extends in the longitudinal direction. A downwardly protruding wall 3f is provided on both left and right edges of the upper flange 3c. The downward protrusion 3f is slightly inclined outwardly toward the bottom. Furthermore, protrusions 3g that protrude upward and extend in the longitudinal direction are provided on both left and right edges of the upper surface of the upper flange 3c.

The edge of the roof panel 4 is received by a panel receiving portion 3d via a heat insulating material 6. The edge of the panel 4 is arranged to be directly below the outer edge of the downward projecting wall 3f or slightly outside of this, and the edge of the panel 4 can be placed on the heat insulating material 6 by dropping it from directly above.

The fixing member 5 is a downwardly protruding wall 3 of the frame structure member 3.
f A pair of left and right opposing walls 5a along the outer surface, and an opposing wall 5
Connecting wall 5 that connects the upper edges of a over the entire length
b (connecting portion), an inclined wall 5c connected to the lower edge of the opposing wall 5a and inclined downward and outward, a hanging wall 5d connected to the lower edge of the inclined wall 5c, and a hanging wall 5d.
It is provided with a holding part 5e consisting of a wall connected to the lower edge of the wall and protruding on both sides, and an engaging part 12 that engages with the lower surface of the downwardly projecting wall 3f is provided on the inner surface of the opposing wall 5a, projecting inwardly over the entire length. It is located across. Fixed member 5
After the panel 4 is placed on the heat insulating material 6 attached to the panel receiving part 3d, it is fitted into the frame structure member 3 from above. At this time, since the downwardly protruding wall 3f is slightly inclined downwardly and outwardly, and the opposing wall 5a is also slightly downwardly and outwardly inclined, fitting is easy. When the fixing member 5 is fitted into the frame member 3, the engaging portion 12 engages with the lower surface of the downwardly protruding wall 3f and the protrusion 3g is in contact with the lower surface of the connecting wall 5b. It is fixed to the frame constituent member 3. Then, the edge of the panel 4 is connected to the presser part 5 through a spacer 13 made of foamable synthetic resin.
The panel 4 is fixed by being held down by the holding part 5e and by filling the space between the holding part 5e and the panel 4 with caulking material 14.

In the above embodiment, the opposing wall 5 of the fixing member 5
The upper edges of a are connected over the entire length, but the invention is not limited to this, and they may be connected at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction. Further, in the above embodiment, the fixing member is made of extruded aluminum, but may be made of synthetic resin. Further, although the above embodiment shows a case where the fixing member 5 of this invention is used to fix a panel to a frame component on the roof of a sunroom, the fixing member 5 of this invention is not limited to this. It goes without saying that it can be applied to the walls of sunrooms, the roofs and walls of greenhouses, partitions, etc.
