Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE The present invention relates to a panel connector at the joint between two panels.

Conventionally, in this type of panel connector, a plurality of bolt insertion holes are drilled at the joint where two panels overlap, and the bolts are inserted into the holes and tightened with nuts. However, in this type of installation work, the nut tightening work is surprisingly complicated and work efficiency is low, and the degree of nut tightening tends to vary depending on the installer, making it impossible to achieve uniform work accuracy. There was also the problem that the nuts loosened due to vibration of the panel, etc.

In view of these circumstances, the present invention utilizes the elastic force of the fasteners to join the panels, so that they will not easily come off even when the panels vibrate, and the joining work will be much easier. It is an object of the present invention to provide a panel joint tool capable of performing reliable, quick, and strong joint fixation despite being simple.

The panel connector of the present invention consists of a vertical piece formed by bending the middle part of the board at a substantially right angle, a receiving part provided with a hole for inserting the insert piece of the stopper, and an appropriate part from the middle part of the board to the tip. The width of the board is pulled up into a substantially square shape to form a plug-in piece, and the bottom part of the board is bent at a substantially right angle to the opposite side to the direction in which the plug-in piece is pulled up to form a stopper piece. It is characterized by consisting of.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In FIG. 1, A is a receiver, and the substrate 1
A hole 11 into which a stopper insertion piece is inserted is provided in an upright piece 10 formed by bending the middle part of 2 at a substantially right angle. In the drawings, the vertical piece 10 is bent from the base plate 12, but it is sufficient that the plate 12 and the vertical piece 10 are at approximately right angles, and the base plate 12 and the vertical piece 10 may be formed as separate bodies. They may be integrally formed by welding or adhesion. R is a stopper, and the insertion piece 15 is formed by pulling up a suitable width of the board 17 from the middle to the tip into a substantially V-shape. Further, the bottom portion of the substrate 17 is bent at a substantially right angle to the opposite side to the direction in which the insertion piece 15 is pulled up to form a stopper piece 16 . 1, 1 is a panel, 2, 2 is a panel joint piece, 1
This is a long hole drilled in a and 1a. Note that the hole 11 provided in the vertical piece 10 of the receiver A may have a shape that allows insertion of the insertion piece 15 of the stopper B, and the elongated holes 2, 2 bored in the panel joint parts 1a, 1a are provided in the receiver. Any shape is sufficient as long as the vertical piece 10 of A can be inserted therein.

The installation state of the panel connector of the present invention consisting of the above-mentioned parts is as follows: First, the side edges of the panels 1, 1 are bent at approximately right angles to form the joints 1a, 1a.
erect so that a is aligned, and this joint part 1
A plurality of long holes 2, 2, . This adapted long hole 2,
2 (in the Y direction in the figure). At this time, the receiver A is inserted until the board 12 part is attached to the panel joint part 1a. In addition, the distance P from the hole 11 drilled in the vertical piece 10 to the board 12 is 2.
Width Q when the two panel joint parts 1a and 1a are joined
It is said to be the same or slightly wider. That is, when the vertical piece 10 is inserted into the long holes 2, 2 of the panel joint parts 1a, 1a, the holes 11 of the vertical piece 10 are formed so as to pass through the panel joint parts 1a, 1a and protrude to the opposite side. It is something that exists. Next, in this state, the stopper B is installed horizontally, and the base plate 17 of the stopper B is aligned with the panel joint part 1a, so that the stopper piece 16 of the stopper B is at the tip of the panel joint part 1a. Forcibly insert the insertion piece into hole 11 of receiver A from the side until it contacts 1b (z direction in the figure)
This completes the joining of the two panels 1,1. That is, when inserting the insertion piece 15 of the stopper B into the hole 11 of the receiver A, the insertion piece 15 resists the outward elastic force of the insertion piece 15 while being in pressure contact with the inner surface 13 on the distal end side of the hole 11. When the top portion 18 of the insertion piece 15 has passed slightly inside the tip side 13 of the hole 11, the stopper piece 16 of the stopper B comes into contact with the panel joint portions 1a, 1a and the tip 1b. That is, from the top 18 of the insertion piece 15 to the stopper piece 16
Long hole 2 of panel joint 1a, 1a with dimension 3 up to
It is formed to be slightly longer than the dimension R from to the tip 1b. By forming it in this manner, the top portion 18 of the insertion piece 15 and the inner surface 13 on the front end side of the hole 11 are engaged with each other, thereby preventing the stopper B from coming off. At this time, the inner surface 13 on the distal end side of the hole 11 is constantly pushed toward the proximal end 19 side of the insert piece 15 due to the outward elastic force of the insert piece 15.
In addition, it will be pressed outward, and the receiver A
It acts to pull it toward the stop B side. As a result, the two panel joint parts 1a, 1a are pressed and clamped by the base plate 12 of the receiver A and the base plate 17 of the stopper B. In addition, although the above explanation shows that it is used for the joint between two panels, it can also be used for the joint between a panel and a sash, or the joint between two sashes, and it can also be used for joining three or more panels. It can also be used in the department.

Since the panel connector of the present invention is constructed as described above, after inserting the upright piece 10 of the receiver A into the elongated holes 2, 2, the insertion piece 15 of the stopper B is inserted into the hole 11 of the receiver A. Despite the very simple insertion process, the installation can be done reliably, quickly, and firmly. Moreover, since it is such a simple work, uniform construction accuracy can always be obtained regardless of the skill level of the builder. Furthermore, since uniform construction accuracy is obtained in this way, the load applied to each fixing location of the panel joints is equalized, and installation and fixation with excellent durability can be achieved. Since the elastic force of stopper B is used to fix the two panels, it not only provides a reliable and strong installation even against deformation of the panels due to long-term use, but also allows Even if the position of the hole 11 formed in the upright piece 10 is slightly shifted, the mounting strength is hardly affected, and an error of this degree can be sufficiently absorbed.
In addition, when the panel vibrates due to a typhoon or earthquake, the insertion piece 15 of the stopper B changes according to the vibration of the panel, so it also has the effect of mitigating the impact caused by the typhoon or earthquake. It can withstand considerably stronger impacts than fixing with bolts and nuts that do not have play. Since the top 18 of the insertion piece 15 of the stopper B engages with the inner surface 13 on the front end side of the hole 11 of the receiver A, the stopper B will not come off unexpectedly.
