Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a connecting structure of eaves, and in particular, when installing a plurality of pre-standardized eaves connected to a building, adjacent eaves are joined together. It is also related to the connection structure for.

Conventionally, when attaching eaves to a building, the eaves were assembled one by one on-site according to the size and shape of the building.

However, recently, eaves themselves have been standardized to a certain size, and when installing eaves on wide windows, etc.
A construction method has been proposed in which several eaves are joined together depending on the installation width to obtain a large, wide eaves as a whole.

In other words, this type of construction method differs from conventional on-site production,
This is desirable because standardized products can be assembled in a mass production system at a factory, etc., which reduces manufacturing costs and also has the advantage of homogenizing the product.

Now, in this type of standardized eaves, a means for connecting the eaves to each other is essential, and the applicant has conventionally proposed a connector as shown in FIG. 8 as this type of connecting means.

That is, in this case, an upper push plate A and a lower push plate S, which have an inclination that follows the shape of the sill body frame, are fixed to the upper and lower edges of a vertical plate C so that the cross section has a single-shape shape. The ends of the left and right eaves bodies to be connected are fitted into both sides of the vertical plate C held between the upper and lower pressing plates.

In addition to being used for the body as a connector, this connector also functions as a band-shaped closure that closes the joint of the eaves, and can also be used as a arm when provided with a mounting portion d as shown in the figure. However, on the other hand, it has the disadvantage that the upper and lower push plates of the connector are exposed on the surface of the eaves, making it unsightly.

Moreover, this connecting tool is designed to firmly connect the eaves by inserting a wedge between the inclined upper push plate a and the lower push plate so that the eaves are wedge-shaped directly opposite the connection. However, since the eaves are generally made of a thin metal plate with a thickness of 1 mm or less (often about 0°3 to 0.5 mm), when inserting the eaves directly across the connection, the upper push is required. There was a risk that the end of the eaves would become deformed if it was caught between the board and the bottom plate.

``Particularly, since this connector holds down the eaves end from above and below, the side plates provided at the eaves end are susceptible to buckling deformation, and in severe cases, the eaves roof plate may become dented.'' There was a drawback that a large gap was created between the eaves and the connector, resulting in an incomplete connection.

Furthermore, even when this connector is used, caulking is applied to the gap between the connector and the eaves as necessary, but caulking material must be filled on both sides of the connector. However, there was also the inconvenience that the work was time-consuming.

The present invention has been proposed to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional coupling means as described above.

That is, the present invention incorporates reinforcing members each having a U-shaped cross section in the ends of the left and right eaves that are to be connected, and integrates an upper surface plate and a lower surface plate having an inclination along the shape of the eaves with a vertical plate. to form a connecting tool, and the ends of the left and right eaves are fitted over the outside of this connecting tool,
To provide a new connection structure in which a connecting tool is incorporated into the eaves by connecting adjacent eaves, and the eaves can be firmly connected without deforming or damaging the eaves.

The present invention will now be described in detail based on illustrated embodiments.

First, reference numeral 1 in the figure indicates the eaves main body in the present invention, and the eaves main body 1 is constructed by bending a relatively thin metal plate, and includes an upper water return plate 2, a roof plate 3,
, a front edge 4, an eaves top plate 5, and a lower water return plate 6 are formed in series.

A reinforcing member 7 having a U-shaped cross section is incorporated into the end of the eaves main body 1. Insert and fit into the eaves main body 1.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the engaging claws 1' and 7' are integrally formed on the side edges of the eaves main body 1 and the reinforcing member 7, respectively, facing inward. The reinforcing material 7 is fitted into the eave main body 1 in such a manner that the reinforcing material 7' is in close contact with the eaves body 1.

The reinforcing material 7 and the eaves 1 are firmly attached to each other by a wedge action, but as shown in FIGS. It is preferable to integrate it by wrapping it around and fixing it, or by fixing it by means such as rivets or screws.

Now, FIG. 3 shows a connector 8 to be assembled into the end portions of the left and right eaves bodies 1 to be connected.

This connector 8 is made by integrating an upper surface plate 9 inclined along the roof plate 3 of the eaves main body 1 and a lower surface plate 10 along the eaves top plate 5 into a single-shaped cross section by means of a vertical plate 11. Particularly in this embodiment, engaging claws 8' are provided on both side edges of the upper plate 9 and lower plate 10 to protrude outward, corresponding to the engaging claws 7' of the reinforcing member 7.

A front plate 12 bent in a crank shape corresponding to the front edge 4 of the eaves main body 1 can be provided at the front end of the connector 8, and engaging claws 8' are also provided on both side edges of the front plate 12. establish.

On the other hand, the rear end of the connector 8 is provided with a mounting plate 13 for attaching to the wall surface of a building, etc., and this mounting plate 13 is bent outward from the rear end edges of the upper surface plate 9 and the lower surface plate 10. .

Of course, this mounting plate 13 can be provided with an engaging pawl 8' like the other members of the connector, but in this embodiment, the water return plates 2 and 6 of the eaves main body 1 are attached to the building. It is simply a flat plate so that it fits closely against a wall surface, etc.

Incidentally, this connector 8 does not need to be constructed as a whole from a single member, but may be constructed as a separate top plate 9 as shown in FIG. 4a.
etc. may be joined together by means of welding, riveting, etc.

Furthermore, this connector is not limited to an I-shaped cross section, but may also be assembled into a box shape as a whole, as shown in FIG.

The connecting structure of the present invention is constructed by fitting the connecting tool 8 into the end of the eaves main body 1 having the above-mentioned structure, and the method of assembling it will be described below.

First, the connecting position of the eaves on the walls and pillars of the building, etc.
Fix the connector 8 via the mounting plate 13 (see Figure 1)
.

In this case, arms are attached to the wall or the like corresponding to the central part of the eaves as necessary.

In this state, the eaves main body 1, in which the U-shaped reinforcing member 7 has been previously incorporated into the end portion, is fitted so as to cover the connector 8 from the front end.

That is, the eaves main body 1 is attached to one side edge of the connector 8.
By applying the reinforcing material 7 from the outside and sliding this reinforcing material 7 toward the wall of the building along the connecting tool 8, the end of the eaves is fixed to the connecting tool.

After one eave end is fitted to one side edge of the connector 8 in this way, the end of the eave adjacent to the opposite side edge of the connector 8 is fitted in the same way. Fit and complete the connection of the eaves (see the 5th cross-sectional view).

In addition, in this example, the eaves main body 1 side (reinforcing material 7
) is provided with an engaging pawl, and an engaging pawl is also provided on the connecting tool 8 side, so that the fitting operation between the connecting tool and the eaves end is guided by both engaging pawls. It is done smoothly and accurately.

Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 1, if the ends of the upper and lower water return plates 2 and 6 of the eaves main body 1 are made to protrude beyond the ends of the eaves roof panels, etc., the left and right eaves can be fitted into the connectors. In this case, as shown in Figure 6, the water return plates 2 and 6 on the left and right eaves
The ends overlap each other to improve waterproofness.

Although the present invention has a configuration as shown in the above-mentioned embodiment, it is not necessarily limited to this embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. It also includes those that do not have engaging claws on the side edges.

In addition, when the connecting structure of the present invention is adopted, the U-shaped reinforcing material will be exposed at the ends of the eaves that are located at both ends of the eaves that are joined together.
As shown in the figure, it is desirable to fit a separately prepared side plate 14 to the end of the eaves.

That is, this side plate 14 includes a narrow roof plate, a front edge, an eaves top plate, and a water return plate according to the shape of the eaves main body 1, and the side edges (side plate) of these roof plates, etc. and opposite side)
has the same shape as the side edge of the connector 8, and is fitted inside the U-shaped reinforcing member 7 exposed at the end of the eaves main body 1.

As described above, in the connecting structure of the present invention, the connecting tool is built into the ends of the left and right eaves and is not exposed to the outside, so the appearance of the eave is not impaired by the connecting tool. It has the advantage of good appearance.

In addition, in this invention, the connecting tool is fitted in a wedge shape inside the reinforcing material at the end of the eaves, so the two are firmly connected and the
This has the advantage that the two parts are reliably connected to each other.

In particular, in the present invention, even if the eave body is strongly fitted to the outside of the connector, the connector is received by the reinforcing material and no force is directly applied to the eave body. Even if it is made of a thin metal plate, there is no risk of deformation or damage during work.

Furthermore, when caulking the joints of the eaves, it is only necessary to fill the caulking material in one place along the side edges of the abutted eaves bodies, which improves work efficiency.

Furthermore, when the reinforcing member and the connecting tool are provided with engaging claws as in the illustrated embodiment, if the eave body is fitted into the connecting tool with the engaging claws engaged, the connecting tool will be engaged. It is guided by the matching claws and is correctly fitted in a position parallel to the side edge of the eaves main body.

Therefore, when the eaves are fitted to the connectors, problems such as widening the gap between adjacent eaves bodies or the connectors becoming oblique and not being securely fixed to the eaves do not occur.

It also has the effect of preventing lateral misalignment between the connector and the eaves.

In particular, when engaging claws are provided on both sides of the connector, the upper surface of the connector becomes a groove with a U-shaped cross section, so rainwater that has entered through the joints of the eaves is guided to these groove-shaped connectors and the eaves are closed. It is discharged to the front end and there is no risk of it seeping into the inside of the eaves.
