BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a roofing material connecting device, and more particularly, to two roofing material supporting members having a roofing material mounting portion at a lower end thereof and a roofing material attached to an upper end of each roofing material supporting member. It is equipped with a pressing member and connects adjacent roof materials in the roof ridge part in an upward projecting mountain shape, or connects adjacent roof materials in a roof valley part in a downward projecting valley shape. The present invention relates to a roof material connecting device used for connecting adjacent roof materials in a straight manner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A roof material connecting device having two roof material supporting members having a roof material mounting portion at a lower end thereof and a roof material pressing member attached to an upper end of each roof material supporting member is used to adjoin. When connecting the roofing material to the mountain shape protruding upward, connecting the adjacent roofing material to the valley protruding downward, or connecting the adjacent roofing material straight, conventionally, At least one of the roof material support member and the roof material pressing member has a dedicated shape that is different for each of the above three connection modes of the roof material.

[0003]

However, if the shape of at least one of the roof member supporting member and the roof member pressing member is different for each of the above-mentioned three connection modes of the roof member, Since there are many types,
As manufacturing costs increase, production control, inventory control,
It takes time and effort for shipping work. Therefore, there is a problem that the cost of the roof material connecting device becomes high. Further, if the shape of at least one of the roof material support member and the roof material pressing member is different for each of the above three connection modes of the roof material, the combination work of the members is also performed in each connection mode. Have to change accordingly,
There was a problem that the workability deteriorated. Furthermore, in the case of connecting the adjacent roofing material in the roof ridge part in an upward protruding mountain shape, or in the valley part of the roof connecting the adjacent roofing material in a downward protruding valley shape, If at least one of the roof material support member and the roof material pressing member has a dedicated shape, it is only possible to connect the roof materials at a predetermined angle, and the roof, and eventually the building design There was a problem that the degree of freedom was reduced.

An object of the present invention is to provide a roof material connecting device which solves the above problems.

[0005]

A roofing material connecting device according to the present invention comprises two roofing material supporting members each having a roofing material mounting portion at a lower end thereof, and a roofing material pressing member attached to an upper end of each roofing material supporting member. In the roof material connecting device including, both roof material supporting members are connected to each other so as to swing at a predetermined angle between a mountain-shaped connected state and a valley-shaped connected state. One of them is provided with an arc-shaped cover protruding toward the other roof material pressing member and having the center of curvature of the swing center of both roof material supporting members as the curvature center. A sliding contact portion is provided which protrudes toward the material pressing member and which can slidably contact the upper surface of the cover when the two roof material supporting members swing relative to each other.

According to the connecting device of the present invention, both roof material supporting members are connected to each other so as to swing at a predetermined angle between the mountain-shaped connected state and the valley-shaped connected state, so that both roof material pressing members can be moved. One of them is provided with an arc-shaped cover projecting toward the other roof material pressing member and having the center of curvature of the swing center of both roof material supporting members as the above-mentioned one roof member pressing member. Since a sliding contact portion is provided which protrudes toward the roof material pressing member side and which can slidably contact the upper surface of the cover when the two roof material supporting members swing relative to each other, both roof material supporting members are connected to each other at a predetermined angle. By swinging, the angle formed by both roof material support members and both roof material pressing members can be arbitrarily set between the mountain-shaped connected state and the valley-shaped connected state. Further, one of the roof material pressing members is provided with an arc-shaped cover projecting to the other roof material pressing member side and having the center of curvature of the swing center of both roof material supporting members as the curvature center. Since the roof member pressing member is provided with a sliding contact portion that projects toward the one roof member pressing member side and can slide on the upper surface of the cover when the two roof member supporting members swing relative to each other, Even when the angle formed by the support member is arbitrarily set, no gap is generated between the cover and the sliding contact portion, and rainwater can be prevented from entering.

At this time, the tip of the arcuate downward projection (32) of the right roof material support member (11) (12) is brought into contact with the second swing restricting portion (22) of the left roof material support member (11), Further swinging is blocked. Further, the tip of the cover (40) of the left roof material pressing member (13) is in contact with the first swing restricting portion (30) of the right roof material supporting member (12). Further swinging of (11) and (12) and roof member pressing members (13) and (14) is prevented. Furthermore, the tip of the sliding contact portion (47) contacts the outer surface of the cover (40), and rainwater is prevented from entering between the roof member pressing members (13) and (14).

Adjacent roofing material (7) is the same as the roofing material (7) adjacent to the main building in the flat part (6) of the roof (2A) of the main building (1A) of the house (1). They are connected as in the case. The angle (Z) is not limited to 120 degrees,
As long as it is in a valley-shaped connected state, it can be appropriately changed.

[0024]

According to the roof material connecting device of the present invention, as described above, the angle formed by both roof material supporting members and both roof material pressing members can be arbitrarily set, so that the roof material supporting member and The shape of the roof material pressing member can be the same in all the roof material connection modes. Therefore, the types of members are reduced, the manufacturing cost is reduced, and production management, inventory management, shipping work, and the like are not troublesome, and as a result, the cost of the roof material connecting device is reduced. Further, since the angle formed by both roof material supporting members and both roof material pressing members can be arbitrarily set only by swinging the both roof material supporting members with respect to each other, the work for setting the above-mentioned angle is simplified. Therefore, the workability is improved. Furthermore, since the roofing materials can be connected to each other at any angle, the degree of freedom in designing the roof and eventually the building is widened.

Further, even when the angle formed by both roof member support members is arbitrarily set, no gap is created between the cover and the sliding contact portion, and rainwater can be prevented from entering.
