Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a balcony that closes the gap created between a decking material and a beam material that supports the decking material.

In conventional balconies of this type, members for closing gaps were constructed independently from other balcony constituent members and were additionally attached. Therefore, there is a drawback in that extra work is required for handling the closing member, processing for attachment, and attachment.

In view of the above points, this idea has been developed by integrally forming a closing edge on the lower horizontal crosspiece, which is a component of the handrail unit, so that when installing the handrail unit, the lower horizontal crosspiece can be attached to the beam material without the need for extra work. The gap between the beam and the decking material can be closed by simply fixing it to the material.

Next, this invention will be explained with reference to the illustrated embodiment. FIG. 2 shows a first embodiment of this invention with respect to the side beam A in FIG. 1. The side beam A integrally has an inner wall 1, an upper wall 2, an outer wall 3, a bottom wall 4, and a rising wall 5, and has a substantially square G-shaped cross section. It has an opening 7 into which the end of the tube is inserted. The deck material 6 inserted into the opening 7 is attached to the upper end 5a of the rising wall 5.
However, since the opening 7 is formed to be slightly larger than the thickness of the decking material in order to facilitate the insertion of the decking material, there is a gap between the lower end of the inner wall 1 and the end of the decking material 6. A gap 7a is created. If this gap is left, leaves and debris blown onto the deck, children's toys, and other items will get in and become difficult to remove.
When used as rain gutters, drainage may be impaired by intruding objects.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a member that forms the boundary surface of the handrail, such as a large number of vertical grids, panels, or a mesh composition (this is referred to as a handrail element in this specification), and its upper end is connected to the upper horizontal crosspiece 9. , the lower end is the lower horizontal bar 1
Connected to 0. Upper and lower horizontal bars 9 and 10
and the handrail element 8 are assembled in advance to form the handrail unit 1.
1, which is fitted between the Kasagi 12 and the side beam A, the upper horizontal beam 9 is fixed to the lower surface of the Kasagi 12 with screws 13, and the lower horizontal beam 10 is fixed to the upper surface of the side beam A with screws 14.
The side main sill 15 of the balcony is formed by being fixed to the main sill 15 of the balcony.

Since the lower horizontal bar 10 has new components, this will be explained in more detail.
The outer end thereof is fitted into a groove 16 formed in the outer end of the upper wall 2 of the side beam A, and the screw 14 passing through near the inner end of the lower horizontal beam is inserted into the upper wall 2 of the side beam A. It is screwed and fixed into an upper opening screw receiving groove 17 provided at the inner end.

According to this invention, the lower horizontal beam 10 integrally has a closing edge 18A that hangs down from the inside end of the inner wall 1 of the side beam A to close to the upper surface of the decking material 6. Since this closing edge 18A is integrally formed with the lower horizontal bar 10, it can be attached simply by fixing the lower horizontal bar 10 to the side beam A with the screws 14.

Reference numeral 19 denotes an L-shaped bracket for connecting the side beam A to the support column C, and the bracket 19 is fixed to the inner wall 1 with bolts 20. In order to escape the head 20a of this bolt 20, the inner wall 1 is formed in a horizontally concave shape, and the closing edge 18A is formed on the inner wall 1.
The unsightly appearance of the bolt head and the recess in the inner wall 1 is all hidden by the closing edge 18A. In addition, on the back side of the lower end of the closing edge 18A,
If the locking groove 18b is formed and the locking edge 21 provided at the lower end of the inner wall 1 is fitted into the locking groove 18b, chatter can be prevented between the lower end of the closing edge 18A and the lower end of the inner wall. No noise is generated or the lower end of the closing edge is erroneously deformed.

FIG. 3 shows a portion of the front beam B in FIG. 1. This front beam B has an upper wall 22, an outer wall 2
3. It has a bottom wall 24 and an inner wall 25 integrally, forming a substantially complete rectangular cylinder shape. Like the side beam A described above, the upper wall 22 has a groove 26 at its outer end and an upwardly opening screw receiving groove 27 near its inner end. The inner wall 25 also has a joist receiving portion 28 integrally projecting inward at the lower end thereof, and the joist receiving portion 28
A bolt 29, which is slidably fitted in advance into a groove 28a formed in the groove 28a, is inserted through one side edge 30a of the joist 30 whose one end is placed on the joist receiving part 28, and a nut 31 is attached to the upper end of the bolt. One end of the joist 30 is fixed to the front beam B by screwing them together. The other end of the joist 30 is placed and fixed on a back beam (not shown) that is fixed to the outside surface of the building. Then, on top of such multiple joists 30,
The deck material 6 is placed and fixed.

The front handrail 15 includes a handrail unit 11 consisting of an upper horizontal bar 9, a handrail element 8, and a lower horizontal bar 10', which is fitted between the cap 12 and the front beam B, and the upper and lower horizontal bars 9,1
0' is fixed to the Kasagi 12 and the front beam B with screws 13 and 14, respectively, and a closing edge 18B is integrally formed inside the lower horizontal beam 10', and the closing edge 18B is attached to the deck material. 6 is the same as the above example, and if the lower horizontal beam 10' is fixed to the upper surface of the front beam B with screws 14 as in the conventional case, the closing edge 18B is attached at the same time. Front beam B
The gap 32 that occurs between the inner wall 25 and the decking material 6
is occluded.

Also in this embodiment, the head of the bolt 34 connecting the front beam B and the column C via the bracket 33 is hidden by the closing edge 18B. Preferably, similarly to the previous embodiment, a locking groove 18b is provided on the back surface of the closing edge 18B and a locking edge 21' is provided on the inner wall 25 to prevent chattering noise or to prevent the deck material 6 from floating. Even if some force is applied to the closing edge 18B, the closing edge 18B is not deformed.

FIG. 3 also shows an example of an improvement to prevent corrosion on the upper surface of the beam. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, if the upper surface of the lower horizontal crosspiece 10 is flat, falling rain accumulates on the upper surface of the lower horizontal crosspiece due to the water repellency of the material or the surface tension of the water, and as the amount increases, the rainwater enters between the lower horizontal beam 10 and the beam A, flows along the upper surface of the upper wall 2, and reaches the screw receiving groove 17. This screw receiving groove 17 is cut by the screw 14 at many locations. Therefore, the beam material begins to corrode from the screwed-in portion, and over a long period of time, this will adversely affect the attachment condition of the lower horizontal beam 10 and the closing edge 18A. On the other hand, the lower horizontal crosspiece 10' shown in FIG. is slanted downward towards the inside. Moreover, it is connected to the upper surface of the bent edge 26a forming the groove 26 of the beam material B on the outer inclined surface of the lower horizontal beam 10. Therefore, rain that falls on the upper surface of the lower horizontal beam 10' is quickly drained along the sloped surface of the outside of the beam material or the surface of the closing edge 18B to the upper surface of the decking material 6. The corrosion problem has been resolved.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which this invention is further developed. A fitting groove 18 that opens inward over the entire length at the lower end of the closing edge 18C
c, and an elastic fin 1 is formed in the fitting groove 18c.
8d can be fitted. Since such elastic fins can be fitted, the gap between the inner wall 25 of the beam material and the deck material 6 can be completely closed. Therefore, especially in the front beam, rainwater enters through the small gap between the beam and the decking, and raindrops inevitably fall from the lower surface of the balcony, but this can be prevented by this embodiment. In addition, especially in relation to the side beams, in the previously described embodiment it was necessary to install the handrail unit after installing the decking material, but in this example, elastic fins are used, so the post-installation of the decking material is required. It becomes possible.

As described above, this invention has a closing edge that closes the gap created between the inner wall of the beam material and the edge of the deck material, which is integrally provided on the inside of the lower horizontal crosspiece of the handrail unit, and the lower horizontal crosspiece is connected to the lower horizontal crosspiece. Since the closing edge is fixed at the same time by fixing it to the upper surface of the beam, there is no need for extra members such as screws or extra work.
The closing edge can be fixed simply by attaching the handrail unit, and the gap between the beam and the decking can be closed.

And since the closing edge is integrated with the handrail unit, it won't come off.
