Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a reinforcing column for a carport. More specifically, the present invention relates to a lower fixing fitting for a removable reinforcing column for a cantilevered carport.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a cantilever carport in which the fixing fittings of the present invention are used, where 1 is a column and 2 is a beam. Reference numeral 3 denotes a purlin material, on the upper surface of which a roof plate 4 is placed and fixed to form a cantilevered carport 5.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a reinforcing column, the upper end of which is rotatably attached to the beam 2 with a pin. Further, the lower end of the reinforcing column 6 is detachably fixed to the floor F. The present invention relates to this floor-side removable fixing structure.

FIGS. 2 and 3 show a conventional example of a structure for attaching and detaching the lower end of the reinforcing column 6. In the case of FIG. 2, a U-shaped bracket 7 is fixed to the floor F with anchor bolts 7a. Bolt insertion holes are provided in the bracket 7 and reinforcing column 6, and when fixing the reinforcing column 6, bolts 8 are inserted into these holes, and nuts 9 are tightened to fix them. When removing the reinforcing column 6, tighten the bolt 8.
When the reinforcing column 6 is not in use, the lower fixing part is removed and rotated around the upper end pin attachment part, and the reinforcing column 6 is stored by being hooked onto a hook 5a provided on the column 1, for example.

However, in this structure, since the support bracket 7 is always fixed on the floor F, it always protrudes above the floor surface and becomes an obstacle for getting a car in and out or for people to walk.

FIG. 3 shows an improvement to eliminate this protrusion above the floor surface. This is done by embedding a concave container 10 so that its upper edge is flush with the floor F, and fixing a U-shaped support bracket 7 to the bottom of this concave container.
When the reinforcing column 6 is not in use, the cover 11 is kept closed, and when the column 6 is to be attached, the cover 11 is removed and the column 6 is attached in the same manner as shown in FIG.

With this structure, the support bracket 7 can be placed on the floor.
Although there is no problem with the concave container 10 protruding, not only does rainwater accumulate in the concave container 10 and cause corrosion, but it is also disadvantageous in terms of cost.

The present invention has been developed to improve the shortcomings of the prior art as described above, and to summarize its structure, the support bracket that gets in the way of getting in and out of a car or walking is reinforced by a column fixing part and a fixing part to the floor. In particular, both of these parts can be bent using hinges. When the reinforcing column is not in use, the fixed portion of the reinforcing column can be folded down with respect to the floor so that it does not protrude above the floor.

FIG. 4 shows a fixing fitting for a reinforcing column according to the present invention. The reinforcing column fixing fitting 12 is composed of a reinforcing column fixing part 14 that rotates about a hinge shaft 13 and a floor fixing part 15. Both parts are respectively provided with through holes 16 and 17 for fixing devices such as bolts.

One of the floor fixing parts 15 of the fixing fittings 12 is attached to the floor F.
The anchor bolt 18 is inserted into the insertion hole 17 and fixed. The other reinforcing column fixing part 14 is normally laid down on the floor F as shown by the solid line in FIG. 5 to minimize the amount of protrusion above the floor so that it does not get in the way. Therefore, when installing the reinforcing column 6, the reinforcing column fixing part 14 is raised vertically on the floor surface F (imaginary line in FIG. 5), and the
As shown in the figure, a fastener such as a thumbscrew 19 may be inserted into the lower part of the reinforcing column 6 and the hole 16 of the reinforcing column fixing part 14 and tightened. In the case of FIG. 6, the thumbscrew 19 is screwed into a nut 20 inserted into the reinforcing column 6, but it is of course possible to insert an ordinary bolt and tighten the nut at the other end.

Figures 7 and 8 show the fixing bracket 12 at the lower end of the reinforcing column.
This is another example of a fixing method. In this example, a pin 21 is attached to the lower part of the reinforcing column 6 at right angles to the column wall. The pin 21 has a narrow neck portion 22 near the end. Reference numeral 23 denotes a locking device which is vertically slidably held by a guide holding piece 24 fixed to the reinforcing column 6, and has a neck portion 22 of the pin at the lower end.
It has a bifurcated portion 26 that engages with.

When setting up the reinforcing column 6, first install the fixing bracket 12.
Stand the reinforcing column fixing part 14 upward, and attach the reinforcing column 6.
After inserting the pin 21 into the hole 16 of the fixing part 14, when the locking device 23 is pushed down by its handle 25, the forked part 26 engages with the neck part 22 of the pin 21, and the column 6 and The fixing portion 14 is integrated and fixed.

As described above, the present invention divides the fixing fitting into a reinforcing column fixing part and a floor fixing part, and makes these parts bendable at the hinge.
Since the reinforcing column fixing part is normally kept on the floor, the amount of protrusion is extremely small and does not interfere with the movement of cars or people walking.

Since the structure is extremely simple, there is no need to worry about breakdowns, and it can be provided at low cost.
