Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a panel assembly with a support, and more particularly to a panel assembly including a rod-shaped connector, a panel and a support.

(Prior Art) As a conventional panel assembly, for example, Japanese Patent Application No. 62-197.
As shown in No. 447, a plurality of laterally extending elastic panels whose both ends are curved so as to bulge outward, and curved inner surfaces matching the curvature of the panels have upper portions facing each other, and There is a combination of a plurality of laterally extending rod-shaped connecting tools in which a gap is formed between the curved inner surfaces so that the two panels can be inserted therethrough.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In such a panel assembly, for example, when it is used as a roof panel, a wall panel or a ceiling panel and an advertisement, a lighting device or the like is attached to the panel assembly, a support therefor is provided. It is necessary to attach a tool to this, and it is usually necessary to make holes in the panel and use bolts and nuts for that, and not only is the installation extremely troublesome, but when it is used as a ceiling panel, There was a risk of rain leaks due to the holes.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A support-equipped panel assembly according to the present invention includes a plurality of laterally-extending elastic panels curved at both ends so as to bulge outward, and a substantially half of the panels conforming to the curvature of the panels. A support having an arcuate curved portion and a curved inner surface that also matches the curve of the panel are provided opposite to each other at the upper portion thereof, and the curved ends of the two panels and the curvature of the support are further provided on the curved inner surface. It is characterized in that it is formed by combining a plurality of laterally extending rod-shaped connecting members in which a gap through which the portion can be inserted is formed.

(Operation) Since the panel assembly with a support of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, the support can be removably attached without making a hole in the panel assembly.

Embodiments of the Invention Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 5 to 7 show a panel assembly to which a supporting member according to the present invention is to be attached. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 1 denotes a flat plate shape in which both ends thereof are curved so as to bulge outward in a semi-arc shape. The panel 5 has curved inner surfaces 2 and 2 corresponding to the semi-arcuate curve of the panel 1 facing each other in the upper part thereof, and further, in the lower part between the curved inner surfaces 2 and 2, the panel 1 is provided. 2 shows a bar-shaped connecting member which extends in the lateral direction and in which the gap 3 is formed so that the space 3 can be inserted into the hollow portion 4. The bar-shaped connecting member 5 and the panel 1 form a panel assembly.

The panel 1 is formed of an elastic body such that the lower surfaces of both ends of the panel 1 are supported by arbitrary supports and the middle portion of the width direction is easily bent downward when the middle portion in the width direction is pressed. The degree of bending of the bending portion is such that the tangent to the lower portion of the bending portion becomes vertical by the pressing.

When assembling the above panel assembly, as shown in FIG. 6, first, the rod-like connector 5 is fixed to an arbitrary support 6 at a position vertically separated by a length corresponding to the width of the panel 1, The panels 1 are engaged with adjacent ones of the rod-shaped connecting members 5, respectively. In this case, the panel 1 can be easily engaged with each other by pressing the panel 1 from above the rod-shaped connector 5.

That is, for example, the second rod adjacent to the first rod-shaped connector 5 (left end)
And when engaging the second panel 1 with the third rod-shaped connector 5, the second inner portion of the curved inner surfaces 2, 2 of the third rod-shaped connector 5
The one end curved portion of the second panel 1 is engaged with one inner surface 2 (hereinafter, referred to as an upstream surface) close to the rod-shaped connector 5 and then the other end curved portion of the second panel 1 is connected to the second rod-shaped connection. It is placed on the other inner surface 2 (hereinafter referred to as the downstream surface) of the tool 5.

In this state, since the other end curved portion of the second panel 1 abuts the one end curved portion of the first panel 1, even if the other end curved portion of the second panel 1 is pushed downward from above, the rod-shaped connector 5 Cannot be engaged with the downstream surface of.

However, in this state, if the widthwise intermediate portion of the second panel 1 is pressed downward as shown by the arrow in FIG. 7, the second panel 1 is curved and deformed, and the tangent line at the lower portion of the other end curved portion is formed. Since this is vertical, the second panel 1 is pressed downward by pressing the other end curved portion so that the second panel 1 is connected to the rod-shaped connecting member 5.
Can be engaged with the downstream surface of the.

In this case, the gap 3 is preferably about 3 times the thickness of the panel 1.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the support 7 is formed by a flat plate whose base portion is curved in a semi-arcuate shape so as to match the semi-arcuate curvature of the panel 1, and the curved base portion of the support 7 is formed. To be inserted between the two panels 1 inserted in the same gap 3.

In this case, the curvature of the panel 1 on both sides of the base of the support 7 is deformed along the gently curved inner surface 2 of the rod-shaped connecting fitting 5, and a gap is formed between the two so that the base of the support 7 can be inserted therethrough. Will accept the base of.

Since the panel assembly with a support of the present invention has the above-described configuration, the contact force between the curved portions of the panel and the bending of the panel assembly vertically downward the support 7 or the direction of the bulge of the base curve of the support 7. When a load is applied to the support 7
If the width is 20 cm, the thickness is 0.6 mm, and the bending radius is 8 mm, it will not separate from the gap 3 between the panels 1 and 1 even with a load of about 100 kg, but a force will be applied in the direction opposite to the bulge. In such a case, the support 7 can be removed from the gap 3 very easily.

In order to prevent a force in the direction opposite to the bulge from being applied to the support 7, it is preferable to constantly apply a force in the same direction as the bulge.
As shown in the figure, two supporting members 7 are arranged so as to face each other so that their bulges face outward, and a bolt 8 is inserted between them, before the bolt 8 penetrates the supporting member 7. A nut 9 may be screwed onto the portion, the two support tools 7 may be restrained in a direction in which they are separated from each other by the bolt and the nut, and a load may be applied via the bolt 8.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, two support members 7 are arranged so as to face each other so that their bulges are directed inward, and a bolt 8 is inserted between them, so that the bolt 8 is separated from the support member 7. A nut 9 may be screwed into the projecting portion, and the bolts and nuts may restrain the two support members 7 in a direction in which they approach each other, and a load may be applied via the bolt 8.

FIGS. 1 to 3 show the case where the panel assembly is used as a ceiling plate, and when this is used as a roof plate, the orientation is the same as that shown in FIGS. 5 to 7. Just do it.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, the panel 1 of the rod-shaped connector 5
By sufficiently extending the upper surface portion that engages with the horizontal direction and forming the downward curved portion 10 in this horizontal portion, the panel 1 can be stably supported, and at the joint surface between the panel 1 and the rod-shaped connector 5. Even if rainwater rises along the curved inner surface 2 of the rod-shaped connecting member 5 due to the capillary phenomenon from the generated gap, the rainwater will flow into the downward curved portion 10 and the rain leakage will not occur.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, according to the present invention, the support member can be very easily and easily engaged with the panel assembly, and after being engaged at one end, the contact force between the curved portions adjacent to the panel and The bending makes it difficult for the panel to come off, and has a great advantage that it does not fall off from the panel assembly even if an extremely large load is applied.
