Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention uses a construction material on the joint surface of one of the columns or cross members (beams). of The connecting base part of the connecting fitting is fixed and attached with a fixture (a fastening bolt that passes through), and the other cross member (beam) to which the end is butted and joined is provided with a joint part consisting of a slit part into which a connecting protruding plate part protruding from the connecting base part of the connecting fitting is inserted, and a connector (drift pin) is passed through the connecting protruding plate part that is inserted into the slit part of the joint part of the beam to connect them, and this relates to a joint decorative cover that covers (covers) the joint part of the beam to improve its appearance (decorates) in a joining structure in which one column or beam is joined to the other beam with the connecting fitting. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, when joining one column to another horizontal member (beam), of Metal fittings are widely used. These fittings consist of, for example, a metal base metal fitting with one or two protruding connecting plates that are T-, U-, or C-shaped in plan view. For example, this base metal fitting is fixed to the joining surface of one column with a fixture (a fastening bolt that passes through the column), and the protruding connecting plates that protrude from this base metal fitting are inserted into slits that run through the top and bottom of the joint at the end of the other beam. Connectors (drift pins) are then passed through connector holes in the protruding connecting plates and through holes in the joint at the end of the beam that communicate with them, firmly joining one column to the other beam.
