[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 7-139155 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 5-89693 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When components that are attached to exterior walls, such as gutters or external piping, are installed along the joints of the exterior walls, these components may interfere with the wall joints.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a wall-connecting connector that can be installed so that components attached to an exterior wall, such as gutters and external piping, do not interfere with the wall connector. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the wall connector connector of the present invention has a connecting portion that is arranged between a scaffolding and an exterior wall, extends laterally along the exterior wall, and is connected to a wall connector fixed to the scaffolding, and an exterior wall fixing portion that is arranged between the connecting portion and the exterior wall, connected to the connecting portion and fixed to the exterior wall, and the connecting portion has a horizontal member extending laterally, wall connector connection portions arranged at both lateral ends of the horizontal member, and an exterior wall connection portion arranged at a lateral middle portion of the horizontal member, and the wall connector is connected to the wall connector connection portion from the scaffolding side, and the exterior wall fixing portion is connected to the exterior wall connection portion from the exterior wall side.

[0007] Conventionally, the wall connector is directly fixed to the fixture provided in the joint of the exterior wall. Therefore, when the gutter or external piping of the building is arranged along the joint of the exterior wall, the gutter or external piping interferes with the wall connector. In the present invention, the wall connector is connected to both lateral ends of the horizontal member, and the exterior wall fixing part fixed to the exterior wall is connected to the lateral middle part of the horizontal member. That is, the wall connector and the exterior wall fixing part can be arranged at positions where they do not overlap in the direction connecting the exterior wall and the scaffolding. Therefore, even if the exterior wall fixing part is connected to the fixture provided in the joint of the exterior wall, the wall connector is arranged at a position where it does not overlap with the joint of the exterior wall on the scaffolding side of the horizontal member. As a result, when the gutter or external piping is installed along the joint of the exterior wall, it can be installed on the scaffolding side of the horizontal member so as not to interfere with the wall connector.

[0008] In addition, the wall connecting connector of the present invention may have an adjuster that adjusts the distance between the exterior wall and the connecting portion, and the adjuster may have an adjuster connecting portion that is connected to the wall connecting connecting portion from the exterior wall side, and an exterior wall contact portion that is connected to the adjuster connecting portion and contacts the exterior wall.

[0009] By adopting this configuration, it is possible to easily adjust the position of the connecting part, and the position of the connecting part is stabilized, thereby enabling good connection between the scaffolding and the cross member via the wall connector and good connection between the connecting part and the exterior wall via the exterior wall fixing part.

[0010] In the wall connector fastener according to the present invention, the wall connector connection portion may be a nut to which a threaded portion of the wall connector is connected.

[0011] With this configuration, the wall connector can be easily connected to the wall connector connection portion.

[0012] In the wall connecting connector according to the present invention, the exterior wall connecting portion may be a nut, and a threaded portion of the exterior wall fixing portion may be connected to the nut.

[0013] With this configuration, the exterior wall fixing portion can be easily connected to the exterior wall connecting portion. Effect of the Invention

[0014] According to the present invention, components to be attached to the exterior wall, such as gutters and external piping, can be installed so as not to interfere with the wall joints. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A wall-connecting connector according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, the wall connector 1 according to this embodiment is used when a scaffolding 11, which is temporarily installed during the construction of a building, is fixed to an exterior wall 12 of the building by a wall connector 2. The wall connector 1 is connected to the wall connector 2 fixed to the scaffolding 11, and is fixed to a scaffolding fixing nut 3 provided on the exterior wall 12. Hereinafter, the horizontal direction parallel to the surface of the exterior wall 12 is referred to as the lateral direction (the direction of the arrow X in the drawing). The horizontal direction perpendicular to the surface of the exterior wall 12 is referred to as the exterior wall orthogonal direction (the direction of the arrow Y in the drawing). In the exterior wall orthogonal direction, the side on which the scaffolding 11 is provided relative to the exterior wall 12 is referred to as the scaffolding 11 side, and the side on which the exterior wall 12 is provided relative to the scaffolding 11 is referred to as the exterior wall 12 side.

[0017] The wall connector 2 is a rod-shaped member. The wall connector 2 is used in a position extending in a direction perpendicular to the exterior wall 12. One end of the wall connector 2 is provided with a scaffolding fixing bracket 21 that is fixed to the scaffolding 11. The other end of the wall connector 2 is provided with a wall connector screw portion 22 that is screwed into the wall connector connection portion 42 of the wall connector coupler 1. The scaffolding fixing nut 3 is a long nut. The scaffolding fixing nut 3 is provided in the joint 13 of the exterior wall 12. The axis of the scaffolding fixing nut 3 extends in a direction perpendicular to the exterior wall. The scaffolding fixing nut 3 can also directly join the wall connecting screw portion 22.

[0018] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the wall connector 1 has a connecting part 4, an exterior wall fixing part 5, and an adjuster 6. The connecting part 4 is provided between the scaffolding 11 and the exterior wall 12, extends laterally, and is connected to the wall connector 2. The exterior wall fixing part 5 is provided between the connecting part 4 and the exterior wall 12, and is connected to the connecting part 4 and also to the exterior wall 12. The adjuster 6 adjusts the distance between the exterior wall 12 and the connecting part 4. The connecting portion 4 has a horizontal member 41 , a wall connecting portion 42 , and an exterior wall connecting portion 43 .

[0019] As shown in Figs. 2 to 5, the horizontal member 41 extends in the horizontal direction. The horizontal member 41 is an angle material having an L-shaped cross section. One piece of the L-shaped cross section of the horizontal member 41 is referred to as the first piece 411, and the other piece is referred to as the second piece 412. The horizontal member 41 extends in the horizontal direction, the first piece 411 is a vertical surface, and the second piece 412 is arranged in a direction that protrudes horizontally from an upper edge 413 of the first piece 411 toward the scaffolding 11 side. In the wall-connecting connector 1, the side of the second piece 412 connected to the first piece 411 is referred to as the outer wall 12 side, and the protruding tip 414 side is referred to as the scaffolding 11 side.

[0020] As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the wall connecting portion 42 is a long nut. In this embodiment, two wall connecting portions 42 are joined to the upper surface 415 of the second piece 412 of the horizontal member 41. One of the two wall connecting portions 42 is joined to the vicinity of 415a on one side in the length direction (horizontal direction) of the upper surface 415 of the second piece 412. The other of the two wall connecting portions 42 is joined to the vicinity of 415b on the other side in the length direction of the upper surface 415 of the second piece 412. The axis of the long nuts of the two wall connecting portions 42 extends in a direction perpendicular to the outer wall. The wall connector screw portions 22 of the wall connector 2 are screwed into the two wall connector connection portions 42 from the scaffolding 11 side. The adjuster connection portions 61 of the adjusters 6 are screwed into the two wall connecting portions 42 from the outer wall 12 side. The adjuster 6 has an adjuster connection part 61 and an exterior wall contact part 62 connected to the adjuster connection part 61. The adjuster connection part 61 has a screw thread formed thereon, and the scaffolding 11 side is screwed into the wall connection part 42 in a direction extending perpendicular to the exterior wall. The exterior wall contact part 62 is connected to the end part of the adjuster connection part 61 on the exterior wall 12 side. The surface of the exterior wall contact part 62 on the exterior wall 12 side is in surface contact with the exterior wall 12. The adjuster 6 can adjust the distance between the horizontal member 41 to which the wall connection part 42 is joined and the exterior wall 12 by adjusting the dimension at which the adjuster connection part 61 is screwed into the wall connection part 42.

[0021] The outer wall connecting portion 43 is a long nut. The outer wall connecting portion 43 is joined to the center in the longitudinal direction (horizontal direction) of the upper surface of the second piece 412. The axis of the long nut of the outer wall connecting portion 43 extends in a direction perpendicular to the outer wall. The exterior wall fixing part 5 is a rod-shaped fully threaded bolt. The exterior wall fixing part 5 is screwed into the exterior wall connecting part 43 with its axis extending in a direction perpendicular to the exterior wall. The end of the exterior wall connecting part 43 on the exterior wall 12 side protrudes further toward the exterior wall 12 than the connecting part 4. The end of the exterior wall fixing part 5 on the exterior wall 12 side is screwed into the scaffolding fixing nut 3. The position of the exterior wall fixing part 5 in the direction perpendicular to the exterior wall relative to the connecting part 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the length that the exterior wall fixing part 5 is screwed into the exterior wall connecting part 43. The protruding dimension of the exterior wall fixing part 5 from the connecting part 4 can be adjusted.

[0022] A method for installing the wall connector 2 using the wall connector connector 1 will be described. The wall connector 2 and the adjuster 6 are connected to the two wall connector connecting parts 42 of the connecting part 4 of the wall connector coupler 1. The exterior wall fixing part 5 is connected to the exterior wall connecting part 43 of the connecting part 4. The exterior wall fixing part 5 is screwed into the exterior wall connecting part 43, and the protruding dimension from the connecting part 4 towards the exterior wall 12 side is kept small. The scaffolding fixing bracket 21 of the wall connection 2 connected to the wall connection connector 1 is fixed to the scaffolding 11. At this time, the wall connection connector 1 is positioned so that the exterior wall fixing part 5 faces the scaffolding fixing nut 3 embedded in the joint 13 of the exterior wall 12 in the direction perpendicular to the exterior wall, and the cross member 41 is parallel to the surface of the exterior wall 12. The outer wall fixing part 5 is rotated around its axis to protrude towards the outer wall 12 side, and then screwed into the scaffolding fixing nut 3 and fixed. The adjuster connection portion 61 of the adjuster 6 is rotated around the axis, and the exterior wall contact portion 62 is brought into contact with the exterior wall 12. The exterior wall contact portion 62 is pressed against the exterior wall 12. In this manner, the wall connector 2 is connected to the exterior wall 12 via the wall connector coupler 1, and the scaffolding 11 and the exterior wall 12 are fixed together. Since there are no temporary materials such as wall connectors 2 between the cross member 41 and the scaffolding 11 in the area that overlaps with the joints 13 of the exterior wall 12 in the direction perpendicular to the exterior wall, when installing gutters 14, external piping, etc. along the joints 13 of the exterior wall 12, it is possible to install them in this area.

[0023] Next, the action and effect of the wall-connecting connector according to this embodiment will be described. Conventionally, the wall connector is directly fixed to the fixture provided in the joint of the exterior wall. Therefore, when the gutter or external piping of the building is arranged along the joint of the exterior wall, the gutter or external piping interferes with the wall connector. In the wall connector connector 1 according to the present embodiment, the wall connector 2 is connected to both ends of the horizontal member 41 in the horizontal direction, and the exterior wall fixing part 5 is connected to the middle part of the horizontal member 41 in the horizontal direction. That is, the wall connector 2 and the exterior wall fixing part 5 can be arranged at positions where they do not overlap in the direction perpendicular to the exterior wall. Therefore, even if the exterior wall fixing part 5 is connected to the scaffolding fixing nut 3 (fixing device) provided in the joint 13 of the exterior wall 12, the wall connector 2 is arranged at a position where it does not overlap with the joint 13 of the exterior wall 12 on the scaffolding 11 side of the horizontal member 41. As a result, when the gutter 14 or external piping is installed along the joint 13 of the exterior wall 12, it can be installed so as not to interfere with the wall connector 2 by installing it on the scaffolding 11 side of the horizontal member 41.

[0024] The wall-connecting connector 1 according to the present embodiment is provided with an adjuster 6 for adjusting the distance between the exterior wall 12 and the connecting part 4. This configuration makes it easy to adjust the position of the connecting part 4, and also stabilizes the position of the connecting part 4, allowing for good connection between the scaffolding 11 and the connecting part 4 by the wall connector 2 and between the connecting part 4 and the exterior wall 12 by the exterior wall fixing part 5.

[0025] In the wall connector coupler 1 according to the present embodiment, the wall connector connection portion 42 is a long nut, and the wall connector screw portion 22 of the wall connector 2 is connected to the wall connector connection portion 42. With this configuration, the wall connector 2 can be easily connected to the wall connector connection portion 42.

[0026] In the wall connecting connector 1 according to the present embodiment, the exterior wall connecting portion 43 is a long nut, and the exterior wall fixing portion 5 is a fully threaded bolt. With this configuration, the exterior wall fixing portion 5 can be easily connected to the exterior wall connecting portion 43.

[0027] Although the embodiment of the wall-connecting connector according to the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the exterior wall fixing part 5 is fixed to the scaffold fixing nut 3 provided in the joint 13 of the exterior wall 12, but it may be fixed to a scaffold fixing nut 3 provided somewhere other than the joint 13. The form for fixing the exterior wall fixing part 5 to the exterior wall 12 may be a form other than a bolt (threaded part) and a nut. In the above embodiment, the adjuster 6 is provided on the wall-connecting connector 1, 1B, but it does not have to be provided. The adjuster 6 may be attached to the horizontal member 41 at a location other than the wall-connecting connection portion .

[0028] In the above embodiment, the wall connector connection part 42 is a long nut, and the wall connector screw part 22 of the wall connector 2 is connected to it, but the connection form between the wall connector connection part 42 and the wall connector 2 may be set appropriately, for example, the wall connector connection part 42 is a screw part, and a nut provided on the wall connector 2 is connected to it. Nuts other than long nuts may also be used.

[0029] In the above embodiment, the exterior wall connecting part 43 is a long nut, and the threaded part of the exterior wall fixing part 5 is connected to it, but the connection form between the exterior wall connecting part 43 and the exterior wall fixing part 5 may be set appropriately, for example, the exterior wall connecting part 43 is a threaded part, and a nut provided on the exterior wall fixing part 5 is connected to it. Nuts other than long nuts may also be used.

[0030] In the above embodiment, the cross member 41 is an angle member having an L-shaped cross section, but the cross member 41 may have a different shape, such as a square steel pipe. In the above embodiment, the exterior wall connection portion 43 is joined to the upper surface 415 of the second piece 412 of the cross member 41B, but the exterior wall connection portion 43B may also pass through the first piece 411 of the cross member 41 and be fixed to the first piece 411, as in the connecting portion 4B of the wall-connecting connector 1B shown in Figures 6 and 7.
