Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a fixture for connecting and fixing panels constituting walls used, for example, in prefabricated houses.

In prefabricated buildings, panels are used to construct walls. These panels are usually of fixed length, and one or more panels are arranged to form a wall. Therefore, a device is required to connect and secure the panels and columns or ends of the panels together. Conventionally, this type of device consists of a rectangular flat plate that is attached to one or both sides of the panel between the panel and a column or the ends of adjacent panels, and a fixing device such as a nail that fixes the rectangular plate to the panel or column.

However, this type of device is weak in strength, and if strong pressure is applied, the fixing tool will loosen and the rectangular flat plate will easily fall off. Even if the panel is fixed from both sides, the strength is weak because the rectangular plates are not connected to each other.

As an auxiliary means, a gap is intentionally formed between the panel and the pillar or between the panels, and a wedge, for example, is forcibly inserted into this gap to secure the panel.

However, driving the wedges may change the position of the panel and cause it to tilt, making it impossible to attach the rectangular flat plate, and the panels and pillars are likely to be damaged by the wedges.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to have a relatively simple structure, but to easily and easily utilize the gap between the first and second connected members. The purpose is to provide a fixture that can be connected and fixed reliably.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. In the figure, 1 is the fixture body. The fixture main body 1 is made of an elastic plate material that is a leaf spring, and has a width dimension that is approximately the same as the thickness of the first and second panels 2 and 3 that are the first and second connected members. The fixture main body 1 has a substantially elliptical cross section. To explain, as will be described later, it consists of flat portions 1a, 1a that contact the first and second panels 2, 3, and curved portions 1b, 1b that connect these flat portions 1a, 1a. The mutual gap between the flat parts 1a and 1a is the first and second
It is necessary to form the gap larger than the gap between the panels 2 and 3. Also, on both side edges of each flat part 1a, 1a, there are mounting fixing pieces 4a, 4a, 4b, 4b, respectively.
are bent and provided as one piece. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
a, 4a, 4b, and 4b each form a cross section.
Nail holes 5, 5 are bored in each of the fixing pieces 4a, 4a, 4b, 4b, respectively.

Therefore, when connecting and fixing the first and second panels 2 and 3, the fixture body 1 is first inserted between these panels 2 and 3. When inserting each flat part 1
Artificial pressure is applied to forcibly shorten the gap between a and 1a, thereby increasing the degree of curvature of each curved portion 1b, 1b. At this time, the work can be facilitated by inserting the fixture main body 1 from the ends of each panel 2, 3 along the direction of the gap between them as shown by the arrows in FIG. The flat portions 1a, 1a come into sliding contact with the opposing end faces of each panel 2, 3, and each mounting fixing piece 4a, 4a, 4b, 4b comes into sliding contact with both side surfaces of the panels 2, 3. After inserting the fixture main body 1 to an appropriate position, the pressing force on each flat portion 1a, 1a is removed. Then, an elastic restoring force acts on each of the curved parts 1b, 1b, and the flat parts 1a, 1a located in the direction of action of this restoring force come into contact with the opposite end surfaces of the panels 2, 3, and are further elastically pressed. do. Next, nail 6 through nail driver 5...
Each panel 2, 3 and the mounting and fixing pieces 4a, 4a, 4b, 4b can be connected by hitting them. As a result, the first and second panels 2 and 3 are maintained with a gap between them by the action of the fixture main body 1, and are connected and fixed to each other via the mounting and fixing pieces 4a, 4a, 4b, and 4b. Therefore, external forces in any direction applied to each panel 2, 3 can be absorbed and blocked, thereby ensuring reliable connection and fixation.

In the above embodiment, the fixing device main body 1 has a substantially elliptical cross section, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the fixing device main body 1 may have a shape as shown in FIG. 4. That is, it is composed of a pair of clamping pieces 10a and 10b whose opposite ends are fixed by appropriate means such as spot welding. These clamping pressure pieces 10a, 10a are made of an elastic plate material such as a plate spring, and are spaced apart from each other except for the above-mentioned both end faces, and have a substantially panda graph shape in cross section. Each clamp pressure piece 10
Attachment fixing pieces 4a,
4a, 4b, and 4b are provided, which is the same as in the above embodiment.

However, the fixture main body 10 configured in this manner exhibits the same effects as those of the above embodiment.

Further, the fixture body may have a substantially U-shaped or C-shaped cross section. In short, it is sufficient if the first and second connected members can be pressed against each other using this elastic restoring force.

Further, although the first and second connected members 2 and 3 are both panels, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, one may be a panel and the other may be a pillar.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the fixture main body made of an elastic plate is forcibly moved along the gap between the first connected member such as a panel or pillar and the second connected member such as the panel or pillar. The elastic restoring force of the fixture body is applied to each member to be connected, and both sides of each member to be connected are fixed using mounting fixing pieces provided along both side edges, making it extremely simple. It has a structure that does not adversely affect costs, allows the first connected member and the second connected member to be easily connected and fixed, has good workability, and can easily absorb strong pressure such as impact. This has the effect of ensuring reliable fixing and improving reliability.
