house 4 will be described below. In the ready-to-assemblehouse 4, thewall member 600′ is constituted by the twowall members 610′ and 620′ that can be connected to each other, and thewall member 800′ is constituted by the twowall members 810′ and 820′ that can be connected to each other. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the depth of the space S2′ and retain a large private space. - Also, in the ready-to-assemble
house 4, the size of the space S2′ can be changed by attaching or removing thewall members 620′ and 820′. If thewall members 620′ and 820′ have been removed, it is sufficient to insert theclaw portions 615 b′ of thewall member 610′ into thehole portions 38 b′ of thecolumn member 30′ and insert theclaw portions 74 a′ of thewall member 70′ into thehole portions 618 b′.

For this reason, it is possible to prevent users and the like of the ready-to-assemblehouse 4 from becoming caught on theclaw portions 615 b′. Also, hiding theclaw portions 615 b′ inside thecolumn member 200′ in this way makes it possible to improve the aesthetic quality of the ready-to-assemblehouse 4. - The
wall member 620′ is fixed to thecolumn member 200′ due to theclaw portions 624′ and 625 a′ being respectively inserted into thehole portions 208 a′ and 208 b′ of thecolumn member 200′. Accordingly, thewall member 620′ and thecolumn member 200′ can be fixed to each other with a simple configuration. Here, the portions of theclaw portions 624′ and 625 a′ that protrude from thehole portions 208 a′ and 208 b′ are contained inside thecolumn member 200′. For this reason, it is possible to prevent users and the like of the ready-to-assemblehouse 4 from becoming caught on theclaw portions 624′ and 625 a′. Also, hiding theclaw portions 624′ and 625 a′ inside thecolumn member 200′ in this way makes it possible to improve the aesthetic quality of the ready-to-assemblehouse 4. - The
wall member 810′ is fixed to thecolumn member 400′ due to theclaw portions 815 a′ being inserted into thehole portions 408 a′ of thecolumn member 400′. Accordingly, thewall member 810′ and thecolumn member 400′ can be fixed to each other with a simple configuration. Here, portions of theclaw portions 815 a′ that protrude from thehole portions 408 a′ are contained inside thecolumn member 400′. For this reason, it is possible to prevent users and the like of the ready-to-assemblehouse 4 from becoming caught on theclaw portions 815 a′. Also, hiding theclaw portions 815 a′ inside thecolumn member 400′ in this way makes it possible to improve the aesthetic quality of the ready-to-assemblehouse 4. - The
wall member 820′ is fixed to thecolumn member 400′ due to theclaw portions 824′ and 825 b′ being respectively inserted into thehole portions 408 a′ and 408 b′ of thecolumn member 400′. Accordingly, thewall member 820′ and thecolumn member 400′ can be fixed to each other with a simple configuration. Here, the portions of theclaw portions 824′ and 825 b′ that protrude from thehole portions 408 a′ and 408 b′ are contained inside thecolumn member 400′. For this reason, it is possible to prevent users and the like of the ready-to-assemblehouse 4 from becoming caught on theclaw portions 824′ and 825 b′. Also, hiding theclaw portions 824′ and 825 b′ inside thecolumn member 400′ in this way makes it possible to improve the aesthetic quality of the ready-to-assemblehouse 4. - Other effects of the ready-to-assemble
house 4 are similar to those of the ready-to-assemblehouse 3. Note that in the ready-to-assemblehouse 4 as well, a roof member that covers the space S2′ from above may be provided similarly to the ready-to-assemblehouse 3. - The ready-to-assemble house according the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various variations are possible. For example, the case of providing four support columns (column members) is described in the first embodiment and the third embodiment, and the case of providing six support columns is described in the second embodiment and the fourth embodiment. However, the number of support columns can be set to any number greater than or equal to one.
- Cases where the support columns are shaped as rectangular columns are described in the above embodiments. However, the support columns can generally be columns having n sides (n being an integer greater than or equal to 3). Cases where n=4 are described in the above embodiments.
- Cases where a door (door 52) is provided in the
wall member 50 are described in the above embodiments. However, the door may be provided in a wall member other than thewall member 50. - Cases where a structure for inserting claw portions into hole portions is used as the structure for fixing members to each other are described in the above embodiments. In order to further strengthen this fixing, a
stopper member 902 provided with acut 902 a may be used as shown inFIG. 41 . Specifically, acut 904 a is provided in theclaw portion 904 as well, and theclaw portion 904 can be prevented from coming out of thehole portion 906 by engaging thecut 902 a of thestopper member 902 with thecut 904 a in the portion of theclaw portion 904 protruding from thehole portion 906. Note that another means (e.g., adhering using packaging tape) may be used for the fixing of members to each other. - The structures of the column members are not limited to the structures described in the above embodiments. For example, a
column member 100′ shown inFIGS. 42 and 43 may be used in place of thecolumn members 10′, 20′, 30′, 40′, 200′, and 400′. Thecolumn member 100′ is made of one piece of cardboard or heavy paper and has a horizontally symmetrical structure. Folding lines L101 a′ and L101 b′, folding lines L102 a′ and L102 b′, folding lines L103 a′ and L103 b′, folding lines L104 a′, L104 b′, and L104 c′, folding lines L105 a′, L105 b′, L105 c′, and L105 d′, and folding lines L106 a′, L106 b′, L106 c′, and L106 d′ are formed in thecolumn member 100′. Also, cut lines C101 a′, C101 b′, C101 c′, and C101 d′ and a cut line C102′ are formed in thecolumn member 100′. - The gap between the folding line L101 a′ and the folding line L102 a′ is approximately equal to the gap between the folding line L101 b′ and the folding line L102 b′. The gap between the folding line L101 a′ and the folding line L101 b′ is approximately equal to the sum of the gap between the folding line L102 a′ and the folding line L103 a′ and the gap between the folding line
- L102 b′ and the folding line L103 b′. Also, the lengths of the folding lines L106 a′, L106 b′, L106 c′, and L106 d′ are approximately equal to the gap between the folding line L101 a′ and the folding line L102 a′ (the gap between the folding line L101 b′ and the folding line L102 b′).
- The
column member 100′ shaped as a rectangular column shown inFIG. 42 is obtained by cutting along the above cut lines and then mountain-folding the column member along the above folding lines at approximately right angles. The portion surrounded by the cut line C102′ becomes theclaw portion 109′. The function of theclaw portion 109′ is the same as that of theclaw portions 19′, 29′, 39′, 49′, 209′, and 409′. - Furthermore, cuts 102 a′ and 102 b′, claw
portions 104 a′ and 104 b′, and hole portions 108 a′ and 108 b′ are formed in thecolumn member 100′. Thecut 102 a′ is provided so as to separate the two folding lines L105 a′ and L105 b′ in the upper end portion of thecolumn member 100′. Also, thecut 102 b′ is provided so as to separate the two folding lines L105 c′ and L105 d′ in the lower end portion of thecolumn member 100′. - The
claw portions 104 a′ and 104 b′ are provided on respective side end portions of thecolumn member 100′. Specifically, the entirety of the portion outward of the folding line L103 a′ is theclaw portion 104 a′, and the entirety of the portion outward of the folding line L103 b′ is theclaw portion 104 b′. - During assembly, the
claw portions 104 a′ and 104 b′ are inserted into thecuts 102 a′ and 102 b′. Accordingly, the rectangular column shape of thecolumn member 100′ is maintained. The portions of theclaw portions 104 a′ and 104 b′ that protrude from thecuts 102 a′ and 102 b′ are contained inside thecolumn member 100′. - The hole portions 108 a′ and 108 b′ are located between the folding line L101 a′ and the folding line L101 b′. In the present embodiment, five holes portions 108 a′ and five hole portions 108 b′ are provided. The function of the hole portions 108 a′ is the same as that of the
hole portions 18 a′, 28 b′, 38 a′, 48 b′, 208 b′, and 408 a′. Also, the function of the hole portions 108 b′ is the same as that of thehole portions 18 b′, 28 a′, 38 b′,48 a′, 208 a′, and 408 b′. - Also, needless to say, the ready-to-assemble house according to the present invention is also applicable to uses other than retaining private space at an evacuation shelter and providing a play space for children. For example, the ready-to-assemble house according to the present invention may be used for a living space for people living on the streets.
