In this embodiment, the insertion part 12 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and its upper surface has an inclined angle so that it can smoothly slip into the lower surface side of the horizontal reinforcing frame upper surface 4a when the connector 11 is twisted. There is. The length a of this insertion portion 12 is set smaller than the length b in the longitudinal direction of the elongated hole 10, and the width c of the insertion portion 12 is set smaller than the width d of the elongated hole 10. Therefore, the insertion portion 12 has a size that allows the elongated hole 10 to be inserted and removed freely. Note that the width of the opening 9 is made equal to the width d of the elongated hole 10 in this embodiment, and the insertion portion 12 can be inserted or removed without interfering with the edge of the opening 9.

The neck portion 14 has a thickness that allows the insertion portion 12 to be inserted into the horizontal reinforcing frame 4 and twisted, that is, a diameter smaller than the short width d of the long hole 10.

In this embodiment, the presser part 13 has a disk shape with a diameter that is approximately equal to the length a of the insertion part 12, and when the insertion part 12 is inserted into the horizontal reinforcing frame 4 and twisted, the connector 11 It is configured to be able to cross the elongated hole 10 in its short axis direction even at a twisted angle. The knob 15 has a recess 15a in the center of its upper surface, and is configured so that a rod or the like can be inserted into the recess 15a and the connector 11 can be twisted with a large torque.

Next, an example of a working procedure for configuring such a connection structure will be described. First, a plurality of side panels 1 are erected on the mounting surface 17 of the side panels of the floor pan 16, and the side panels are connected to each other. Next, the ceiling panel 5 is mounted on the side panel 1, and the opening 9 and the long hole 1 are
