Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention is a reinforcing member for a suspension rod that is provided on a suspension rod suspended from the peaks of a folded plate roof having alternating peaks and valleys. [Background technology]

[0002] A suspension rod that is suspended from a folded-plate roof and has an eaves gutter support device that holds an eaves gutter at its lower part is known. It is desirable for such a suspension rod to be less likely to sway due to strong winds, etc. For example, Patent Document 1 listed below discloses a retaining plate that is engaged with the threaded rod and that consists of a horizontal piece having a through hole into which a threaded rod fixed to a folded roofing material is inserted, and a pair of inclined pieces that are in close contact with the inner surface of the inclined portion between the peak and valley portions.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 8-312078 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the pressure plate disclosed in Patent Document 1 needs to be attached to the threaded rod before the suspender is attached to the threaded rod. Therefore, when attaching the pressure plate to a threaded rod to which a suspender is already attached, it is necessary to remove the suspender from the threaded rod, which may reduce workability.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and aims to provide a reinforcing member for a hanging rod that can be retrofitted to a hanging rod equipped with an eaves gutter support device, while suppressing the swaying of the hanging rod due to strong winds, etc. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the reinforcing member for a hanging rod of the present invention is a reinforcing member for a hanging rod that is provided on a hanging rod suspended from the peaks of a corrugated roof in which peaks and valleys are arranged alternately, and is characterized in that it comprises a pair of abutment portions that abut on both groove walls of a groove formed on the back side of the peaks, support portions extending from each of the abutment portions so as to be close to or abut the hanging rod, and a slit portion provided on one of the pair of abutment portions and configured to be able to receive the hanging rod from the side of the reinforcing member for a hanging rod. Effect of the Invention

[0007] Since the hanging rod reinforcing member of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it can be retrofitted to a hanging rod provided with an eaves gutter support while suppressing the swaying of the hanging rod due to strong winds, etc. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0009] The suspension rod reinforcement member according to this embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that in some drawings, some of the detailed reference numerals attached to other drawings are omitted. In the following description, the state in which the member is attached to the folded plate roof is taken as the reference, and the front-rear direction (the eaves side is the front direction, and the opposite side is the rear direction), and the direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction and the up-down direction is taken as the width direction (horizontal direction). 1 to 6 are diagrams showing an example of a suspension rod reinforcing member according to the present embodiment.

[0010] The reinforcing member 10 for the hanging rod according to the present embodiment is provided on the hanging rod 6 suspended from the peaks of the folded-plate roof 1 in which peaks and valleys are alternately provided. The reinforcing member 10 for the hanging rod includes a pair of abutting portions 12, 12 that abut against both groove walls 2b, 2b of the groove portion 2 formed on the back side of the peaks, and support portions 13, 13 that extend from each of the abutting portions 12, 12 so as to approach or abut against the hanging rod 6. With this configuration, when the pair of abutting portions 12, 12 abut against both groove walls 2b, 2b, the pair of abutting portions 12, 12 are supported by both groove walls 2b, 2b, and the pair of abutting portions 12, 12 is less likely to deform under a load in a direction that widens the gap between the pair of abutting portions 12, 12. In this state, support portions 13, 13 abut or approach hanging rod 6 so as to sandwich it, thereby effectively suppressing the shaking of hanging rod 6 due to strong winds, etc. Moreover, the hanging rod reinforcement member 10 has a slit portion 14 that is provided on one of the pair of abutment portions 12, 12 and is configured to be able to receive the hanging rod 6 from the side of the hanging rod reinforcement member 10. With this configuration, it becomes possible to attach the hanging rod reinforcement member 10 from the side of the hanging rod 6, so that the hanging rod reinforcement member 10 can be retrofitted to the hanging rod 6 to which the eaves gutter support 5 is attached. The details are explained below.

[0011] As shown in FIG. 1, the folded plate roof 1 has a plurality of alternating continuous peaks and valleys. A groove portion 2 that opens downward is formed on the back side of the peaks. In the illustrated example, the groove portion 2 is divided into a plate-shaped peak portion 1a that constitutes the groove bottom 2a, and a pair of groove wall plates 1b, 1b that are provided so as to extend downward from each of both sides in the width direction of the peak portion 1a and constitute the groove wall 2b. In the illustrated example, the groove walls 2b, 2b are inclined so that the groove width of the groove portion 2 that opens downward expands in the downward direction. Note that the folded plate roof 1 from which the hanging rod 6 is suspended is not limited to the above-mentioned one, and may be configured, for example, in a curved wave shape in which curved peaks and valleys are alternately continuous. In addition, the groove walls 2b, 2b may be configured to extend downward approximately perpendicular to the groove bottom 2a.

[0012] The eaves gutter 4 is a long gutter member. In the illustrated example, the eaves gutter 4 is arranged below the eaves of the folded-plate roof 1 so as to be able to catch rainwater flowing from the eaves of the folded-plate roof 1. In the illustrated example, the eaves gutter 4 is a square gutter, and as shown in Figs. 1 and 4, it has a flat bottom plate portion 4a, a pair of groove wall portions 4b, 4b provided so as to rise upward from the front and rear ends of the bottom plate portion 4a, and ear portions (not shown) provided at the upper ends of each of the pair of groove wall portions 4b, 4b along the length direction of the groove wall portion 4b. The eaves gutter 4 may be a round gutter or the like, or may be configured without ear portions.

[0013] The hanging rod 6 is a long member extending in the vertical direction, and its upper end is fixed to the folded plate roof 1. The hanging rod 6 in the illustrated example is a round bar-shaped hanging bolt, and a male screw groove is formed on the side peripheral surface. In the illustrated example, the hanging rod 6 is inserted into a through hole 1c provided on the eaves side of the mountain plate portion 1a of the folded plate roof 1, and is fixed to the folded plate roof 1 by fasteners 7A and 7B, which are a pair of nuts arranged to sandwich the upper and lower surfaces of the mountain plate portion 1a. In the illustrated example, a washer 3 is arranged between the fastener 7A arranged above the mountain plate portion 1a and the mountain plate portion 1a.

[0014] The eaves gutter support 5 is configured to support the eaves gutter 4, and is fixed to the lower end of the hanging rod 6 as shown in Fig. 4. In the illustrated example, the eaves gutter support 5 is configured as a hanging tool having an ear holding portion (not shown) that engages with the ear portion of the eaves gutter 4. The eaves gutter support 5 may also be configured as a receiving tool that receives and supports the eaves gutter 4.

[0015] The hanging rod reinforcing member 10 is configured so that it can be placed in the groove 2 formed on the back side of the folded plate roof 1. Such a hanging rod reinforcing member 10 may be made of a metal plate material such as stainless steel. The hanging rod reinforcing member 10 may be appropriately formed with ribs for reinforcing each part. The hanging rod reinforcing member 10 is preferably formed with a vertical dimension smaller than the dimension between the valley of the folded plate roof 1 and the eaves gutter 4 so that it can be retrofitted to the hanging rod 6 to which the eaves gutter 4 is attached.

[0016] The suspension rod reinforcing member 10 includes a base 11 provided to connect a pair of abutment portions 12, 12. In the illustrated example, the base 11 is configured as a plate having a flat surface on the substantially entire upper surface that can abut against the groove bottom 2a. If the groove bottom 2a of the groove portion 2 is curved, the base 11 may be a curved plate that substantially matches the curvature of the groove bottom 2a. The base 11 may also be configured not to abut against the groove bottom 2a.

[0017] The pair of abutment parts 12, 12 are formed extending downward from both ends of the base 11 in the width direction. In the illustrated example, the pair of abutment parts 12, 12 are configured as plate bodies having substantially the same inclination as the inclination of the groove walls 2b, 2b with which they abut, and are configured so that substantially the entire surface of each abutment against the groove wall 2b can abut against the groove wall 2b so as to be in close contact with the groove wall 2b. In the illustrated example, the pair of abutment parts 12, 12 are configured so that the distance between them gradually increases from the top to the bottom. In the illustrated example, the vertical dimension of the abutment part 12 is configured to be approximately half the vertical dimension of the groove wall 2b, but it may be any appropriate dimension that allows the suspension rod reinforcing member 10 to be disposed in the groove part 2.

[0018] In the illustrated example, the pair of support parts 13, 13 are configured as plates and are formed to extend from the lower end of the abutment part 12 toward the hanging rod 6 side. The support part 13 may be formed to extend from a middle part of the abutment part 12 in the up-down direction toward the hanging rod 6 side. In the illustrated example, the support part 13 is formed substantially parallel to the base part 11, but may be formed inclined with respect to the base part 11. As shown in FIG. 2(b), a gap S penetrating in the front-rear direction is formed between the pair of support parts 13, 13. In the illustrated example, one support part 13 (first support part 13A described later) is configured to be close to the hanging rod 6, and the other support part 13 (second support part 13B described later) is configured to be in contact with the hanging rod 6, but the abutment / proximity relationship of the pair of support parts 13, 13 with respect to the hanging rod 6 may be reversed. Moreover, each of the pair of support portions 13, 13 may be configured to abut against the hanging rod 6, or each of the pair of support portions 13, 13 may be configured to be adjacent to the hanging rod 6 with a gap therebetween.

[0019] The support portion 13 may include a bent piece 15 formed by bending in the up-down direction at the end portion on the hanging rod 6 side. With such a configuration, the bent piece 15 tends to increase the contact area with the hanging rod 6, and the swinging of the hanging rod 6 due to strong winds or the like can be more effectively suppressed. In the illustrated example, the pair of support portions 13 are each provided with a bent piece 15. In the illustrated example, the pair of bent pieces 15 are bent in the upward direction, but they may be bent in the downward direction, or each of the pair of bent pieces 15 may be bent in a different direction from each other.

[0020] In the illustrated example, the slit portion 14 is provided in the first contact portion 12A, which is one of the pair of contact portions 12, 12, and is not provided in the second contact portion 12B, which is the other. As shown in FIG. 2(a), the slit portion 14 is provided in the approximate center of the first contact portion 12A in the front-rear direction. The upper end portion 14a of the slit portion 14 is provided in the base portion 11. The slit portion 14 is also formed continuously in the first support portion 13A extending from the first contact portion 12A of the support portions 13, 13, and is also formed continuously in the first bent piece 15A of the first support portion 13A. That is, in the illustrated example, the slit portion 14 is not provided in the second support portion 13B extending from the second contact portion 12B of the pair of support portions 13, 13, and in the second bent piece 15B of the second support portion 13B.

[0021] In the base 11, the upper end 14a of the slit portion 14 is formed in a substantially round hole shape penetrating the thickness direction of the base 11. In the first contact portion 12A, the first support portion 13A, and the first bent piece 15A, the slit portion 14 penetrates these members in the thickness direction. In the first contact portion 12A, the first support portion 13A, and the first bent piece 15A, the slit portion 14 is configured as a groove-like gap that continues from the upper end portion 14a provided on the base 11. In the first contact portion 12A, the slit portion 14 extends in the vertical direction so as to open both ends in the vertical direction of the first contact portion 12A, in the first support portion 13A, the slit portion 14 extends in the width direction so as to open both ends in the width direction of the first support portion 13A, and in the first bent piece 15A, the slit portion 14 extends in the vertical direction so as to open both ends in the vertical direction of the first bent piece 15A. Moreover, the slit portion 14 communicates with the gap S between the pair of support portions 13, 13. With this configuration, the hanging rod 6 inserted through the slit portion 14 can be disposed in the gap S between the pair of support portions 13, 13. In the illustrated example, the groove width dimension of the slit portion 14 provided in the first abutment portion 12A, the first support portion 13A, and the first bent piece 15A is preferably configured to be equal to or larger than the diameter dimension of the hanging rod 6. The slit portion 14 may be configured to have appropriate dimensions and shapes that can receive the hanging rod 6 from the side.

[0022] The upper end 14a of the slit portion 14 provided in the base 11 is configured so that the fastener 7B for fixing the hanging rod 6 to the mountain portion can be inserted therethrough. With this configuration, the base 11 can be configured to abut against the groove bottom 2a of the groove portion 2 without being interfered with by the fastener 7B. In the illustrated example, the upper end 14a of the slit portion 14 is configured as a round hole penetrating the base 11 in the vertical direction, and its diameter is configured to be larger than the diameter of the fastener 7B that abuts against the lower surface of the mountain plate portion 1a. The upper end 14a of the slit portion 14 may have a shape other than a round hole, and may be, for example, a rectangular through hole. The entire slit portion 14, including the upper end 14a, may be configured with the same groove width dimension.

[0023] The hanging rod reinforcing member 10 may have an abutment piece 22 that abuts against the base 11 between the hanging rod 6 and at least one of the first support portion 13A and the second support portion 13B, and may be configured to be able to place a reinforcing plate 20 fixed to the hanging rod 6. In the illustrated example, the reinforcing plate 20 is configured to be able to be placed in the gap between the first support portion 13A and the hanging rod 6. As shown in FIG. 3(a), the reinforcing plate 20 has a plate-shaped main body 21. In the illustrated example, the main body 21 is configured so that the front-to-rear dimension (plate width) decreases from the top to the bottom. The shape of the main body 21 is not limited to this, and it may be configured as, for example, a substantially rectangular plate. In the illustrated example, the reinforcing plate 20 is configured so that it can be arranged along the up-down direction of the hanging rod 6 with the plate surface of the main body 21 facing the hanging rod 6 side.

[0024] The reinforcing plate 20 includes abutment pieces 22 bent and formed at the upper end of the main body 21. The abutment pieces 22 are provided in a pair at the upper end of the main body 21 in the front-rear direction, bent in the width direction, and configured so that the plate surface abuts against the lower surface of the base 11. In the illustrated example, the pair of abutment pieces 22, 22 are formed so as to be bent toward the first abutment portion 12A, but may be formed so as to be bent toward the second abutment portion 12B, or each of the pair of abutment pieces 22, 22 may be formed so as to be bent in a different direction from each other. In addition, a gap is provided between the pair of abutment pieces 22, 22 in which a fastener 7B can be disposed.

[0025] A protruding portion 23 is provided in the approximate center of the main body 21, which defines an accommodating groove 23a that communicates across both vertical ends of the main body 21. The protruding portion 23 is formed by bending in the thickness direction of the main body 21, and the accommodating groove 23a is formed so as to open to the hanging rod 6 side, and is configured so that the hanging rod 6 can be accommodated within the accommodating groove 23a. In the illustrated example, the protruding portion 23 is configured so that the groove width of the accommodating groove 23a becomes smaller from the top to the bottom.

[0026] A locking piece 24 is formed at the lower part of the protruding portion 23 by cutting and raising it toward the hanging rod 6 side. The locking piece 24 is formed so that the plate surface faces the vertical direction, and a pair of locking pieces 24 are formed spaced apart in the vertical direction. As shown in Fig. 3(b), the locking piece 24 is configured so as to be able to fit into and be locked into the male screw groove of the hanging rod 6. In addition, a pair of insertion holes 25, 25, through which a fastener such as a bolt is inserted, are provided side by side in the front-rear direction at the lower part of the main body 21.

[0027] The reinforcing plate 20 may be configured to be fixed to the hanging rod 6 in cooperation with the fixing plate 30. FIG. 2(c) shows the fixing plate 30. In the illustrated example, the fixing plate 30 is configured as a rectangular plate body and is configured to be able to sandwich the hanging rod 6 together with the reinforcing plate 20. A pair of protruding pieces 31, 31 is provided at the ends of both long sides (vertical direction) of the fixing plate 30. The protruding pieces 31 are formed to protrude toward the hanging rod 6 and are configured to be able to be fitted into and locked in the male screw groove of the hanging rod 6 as shown in FIG. 3(b). In addition, the fixing plate 30 is provided with a pair of insertion holes 32, 32 formed corresponding to the pair of insertion holes 25, 25 of the reinforcing plate 20.

[0028] Next, a method for installing the above-mentioned suspension rod reinforcing member 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 4 to Fig. 6. Note that the following procedure is an example, and the method for installing the suspension rod reinforcing member 10 is not limited to the following method.

[0029] First, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the first abutment portion 12A faces the hanging rod 6 and the slit portion 14 overlaps the hanging rod 6 in the horizontal direction, and the hanging rod reinforcement member 10 is moved horizontally so that the hanging rod 6 is inserted into the slit portion 14. At this time, the hanging rod reinforcement member 10 is moved horizontally from a position where it is unlikely to be interfered with by the folded plate roof 1, the eaves gutter 4, and the eaves gutter support 5, and the hanging rod reinforcement member 10 is moved until the hanging rod 6 is located in the gap S between the support portions 13, 13. Next, the hanging rod reinforcement member 10 is moved upward until the pair of abutment portions 12, 12 abut against both groove walls 2b, 2b of the groove portion 2 so as to be in close contact with them. At this time, the base portion 11 abuts against the groove bottom 2a of the groove portion 2, and the fastener 7B is inserted into the upper end portion 14a of the slit portion 14.

[0030] 6, while the pair of abutment portions 12, 12 are kept in abutment against both groove walls 2b, 2b, the reinforcing plate 20 is placed between the hanging rod 6 and the first bent piece 15A so as to be inserted from the front. Then, the abutment pieces 22, 22 of the reinforcing plate 20 are brought into abutment against the lower surface of the base 11 of the hanging rod reinforcing member 10, and the locking pieces 24, 24 of the reinforcing plate 20 are locked into the male screw groove of the hanging rod 6. Then, the fixing plate 30 is placed laterally of the hanging rod 6 so that the insertion holes 32, 32 overlap the insertion holes 25, 25 of the reinforcing plate 20, and the protruding pieces 31, 31 of the fixing plate 30 are locked into the male screw groove of the hanging rod 6. In this state, bolts 33 are inserted through the insertion holes 32 of the fixing plate 30 and the insertion holes 25 of the reinforcing plate 20, and nuts 34 are screwed onto the bolts 33 to fix them in place. This fixes the reinforcing plate 20 and the fixing plate 30 to the hanging rod 6. By fixing the reinforcing plate 20 to the hanging rod 6, the abutment pieces 22 abutting the lower surface of the base 11 fix the hanging rod reinforcing member 10 so that it does not fall downward. In the illustrated example, the first bent piece 15A of the hanging rod reinforcing member 10 abuts against the reinforcing plate 20, and the second bent piece 15B abuts against the hanging rod 6. The hanging rod 6 is sandwiched between the reinforcing plate 20 and the second bent piece 15B from both sides in the width direction, and is effectively prevented from shaking due to strong winds, etc. The reinforcing plate 20 is also more effectively prevented from shaking due to strong winds, etc., with the first bent piece 15A abutting against it.

[0031] The configuration of the reinforcing member for the hanging rod is not limited to the above-mentioned configuration, and the mounting method is not limited to the above-mentioned one, and may be a method that does not use a reinforcing plate or the like. For example, an adhesive tape that can be attached to the groove of the folded plate roof may be provided on the base or abutting portion of the reinforcing member for the hanging rod. With such a configuration, the reinforcing member for the hanging rod can be fixed to the folded plate roof by the adhesive tape. Also, a fastener that can be directly fixed to the hanging rod from the side of the hanging rod may be arranged below the support portion to fix the reinforcing member for the hanging rod so that it does not fall.
