[0005]

However, in any of the above-described conventional coupling structures, coupling pins are provided at both ends of the coupling holes provided between the panel members or the coupling members in any of the above-described structures. Alternatively, although the members can be joined by the work of press-fitting the wedge member, the workability is poor because the joining holes are hidden inside the members and open only on the end faces of the members. That is, when the connecting pin or the wedge member is driven with the member standing upright so that the pushing direction is the vertical direction, after the connecting pin or the wedge member is driven into one end of the connecting hole, the member is removed. It must be moved up and down by 180 degrees, and even if the connecting pin or wedge member is driven with the member set up so that the extrusion direction is horizontal, or with the member lying down, The end of the member must be supported and fixed, and after the connecting pin or wedge member is driven into one end of the connecting hole, the member is moved laterally 180 degrees or the operator moves from end to end. I have to ask. Further, since the connecting pin or the wedge member can be provided only at both ends of the connecting hole,
Due to the bonding strength, it is necessary to set the dimensions of the panel member or the connecting member so that the space between the connecting pins or the wedge members does not become too wide, which limits the structure. In addition, since the work procedure must be such that the end surface of the panel member or the end surface of the connecting member is not closed until the connecting pin or the wedge member is driven, there is a problem that the work procedure is restricted. In view of the above, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a joining structure of members which has good workability, has few restrictions on the structure and work procedure, and can secure high joining strength.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, in the invention according to claim 1, a concave portion into which an end portion of one member can be inserted is formed over the entire length, One of the inner surfaces of the recess has a taper that forms a gap that widens toward the open end of the recess when the end of the other member is inserted, and the end of the other member is inserted into the recess of the one member. By inserting the wedge member, the wedge member is press-fitted into the gap formed between the side surface of the other member and the tapered inner surface of the recess to form a combined structure. According to a second aspect of the invention, in the member connecting structure according to the first aspect,

The connection structure has an opening. According to a sixth aspect of the invention, in the member coupling structure according to the first aspect, the one member and the other member are panel members for partitioning indoors and outdoors. According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the member connecting structure according to the first to sixth aspects, the taper is formed on an inner side surface of the recess that is an inner side when the panel member is connected. According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, in the member coupling structure according to the first to seventh aspects, the seal packing is attached to one of the inner side surfaces of the recess that does not form the tapered surface. .

Since the wedge member is driven into the gap formed over the entire length of both members, a long wedge member is provided over the entire length of the gap, or a strip wedge member is provided at an arbitrary interval. It is possible to provide an arbitrary number, so that a high bond strength can be secured. Moreover, since the wedge member can be driven in from one side surface side of both members, it is not necessary to move the members. Further, since the high bond strength can be ensured, the allowable range of the dimension setting of the members is widened, and the structural restriction is reduced. Further, since the driving operation of the wedge member can be performed from one side surface side of the member, it is not necessary to leave the end surface of the member open until the driving operation of the wedge member is completed unlike the conventional case.
