The unit construction method was adopted as an improvement and rationalization of the conventional construction method. However, there are many weak points that need improvement in terms of structure and construction, and the strength of the corners is sufficient. I couldn't show it.

In the present invention, the weaknesses of the unit construction method are improved and reinforced so that the unit construction method can be easily constructed and can be established as a stable game island construction method.

First, as the unit frame, vertical members at the height of the island are erected at the four corners of the unit frame, and the vertical members are connected with predetermined horizontal members and connecting members to form a rectangular frame. Since it is a structure that forms a box-shaped frame body with four corners as through columns, it is possible to configure a strong unit frame that can sufficiently cope with any load from the vertical and horizontal directions. A connecting member that forms a box-shaped frame by connecting the front and rear frames in which a predetermined horizontal member is erected between the front and rear vertical members is used as the upper and lower parts 2 with vertical cuts formed at one side end. As a bisected connection plate equipped with a single piece of projection, the projection is inserted into a connection hole that is opened in advance in the longitudinal members on the front and rear sides, and the notch is engaged with the longitudinal member to make both connections. Since the plate is fastened at the center, a strong connection is made so that the plate is engaged and supported at four points. Can, it is possible to facilitate the assembling operation because it work within wide central space rather than a cramped corner a fastening of both connection plates.

Further, since the connection between the lowermost horizontal member and the lower end of the vertical member is connected and fixed through the reinforcing member having the flat surface portion which is in surface contact with the flat surface portion of the vertical material, the unit frame is formed. Since all the load on the vertical member is transmitted from the lower end of the vertical member to the lower structure that supports the unit frame, in order to support the load biased only on the lower end of the vertical member, it is necessary to support it. Or, there must be a lower structure with a certain bearing capacity. Also, due to such an unbalanced load, the unit frame itself may be deformed. However, the flat surface portion of the reinforcing member is brought into surface contact with the flat surface portion of the vertical member for firm connection and fixation. Since the load from the vertical member can be transmitted to and distributed to the lowermost horizontal member, the lower structure can be a simple structure that evenly supports the lowermost horizontal member.

Further, the lower corner portion where the lower end of the vertical member and the lowermost horizontal member are connected is the portion most susceptible to the influence of load and external force and is likely to be deformed or damaged. By providing the corner portion, the weak point can be reinforced and strengthened.

As described above, according to the present invention, structural weaknesses in the unit construction method are reinforced,
It can be improved, and the advantages of the unit construction method can be fully exerted.
