Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] When using the roof structures disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 above, for example, at a bus stop, there are the following problems. That is, according to the simple roof structure described in Patent Document 1, when using this as a bus stop, while waiting for the bus, one can stay under the roof member and thus will not get wet in the rain, but when boarding the bus, one will get wet in the rain.

[0006] In addition, when using the simple roof structure described in Patent Document 2 as a bus stop, if it is adjusted according to the height of the user, it will not match the height of the bus. On the other hand, if it is set higher than the height of the bus, the roof material will be located at a position much higher than the height of the user, and rain will easily blow in due to crosswind, resulting in the user getting wet in the rain.

[0007] The present invention is for solving the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a simple roof structure in which a user is less likely to get wet in the rain when waiting for a bus or boarding a bus when installed as a bus stop.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration.

[0009] That is, the simple roof structure according to the present invention is a simple roof structure in which a roof portion is formed between a plurality of columns erected at appropriate intervals in the left-right direction, and the roof portion includes a first roof portion extending in either the front-rear direction and a second roof portion provided at a position higher than the first roof portion and extending in a direction opposite to the first roof portion. The columns are installed near the boundary between the roadway and the sidewalk. The first roof portion extends toward the sidewalk side, and the second roof portion extends toward the roadway side. The second roof portion also extends toward the first roof portion side, and at least a part of the first roof portion and the second roof portion overlap in plan view. The second roof portion extending toward the roadway side extends toward the sidewalk side more than the columns, and the first roof portion provided at a position lower than the second roof portion does not extend toward the roadway side more than the columns. In addition, in the simple roof structure according to the present invention, the second roof portion is characterized in that the columns are arranged so as to penetrate the second roof portion.

[0010] In addition, the simple roof structure according to the present invention is characterized in that it is a vehicle boarding and alighting area or a waiting area for vehicles such as buses, taxis, and trains.

[0011] In addition, in the simple roof structure according to the present invention, a rainwater receiving portion may be provided on the support column. Further, in the simple roof structure according to the present invention, the rainwater receiving portion includes a bottom plate portion that projects substantially horizontally by going around the support column in the horizontal direction, and a side wall portion that rises upward from the outer edge of the bottom plate portion. A part of the bottom plate portion and the side wall portion is cut out to form a cutout portion, and rainwater can flow down from the cutout portion. Furthermore, in the simple roof structure according to the present invention, the support column may be installed near the boundary between the roadway and the sidewalk, and the cutout portion may be formed on the roadway side of the support column.

Effects of the Invention

[0012] According to the simple roof structure of the present invention, it is a simple roof structure formed by forming a roof portion between a plurality of support columns erected at appropriate intervals in the left-right direction. The roof portion includes a first roof portion extending in either the front-rear direction, and a second roof portion provided at a position higher than the first roof portion and extending in a direction opposite to the first roof portion. The second roof portion also extends to the first roof portion side, and at least a part of the first roof portion and the second roof portion overlap in plan view. Therefore, even if it rains and a little wind blows while the user is waiting under the simple roof structure, it is difficult to get wet.

[0013] According to the simple roof structure of the present invention, since the second roof portion is arranged such that the support column penetrates the second roof portion, there is no gap for rain to leak into between the roof portion and the support column, so the risk of the user getting wet in the rain is further reduced.

[0014] Furthermore, according to the simple roof structure of the present invention, the support column is installed near the boundary between the roadway and the sidewalk, the first roof portion extends to the sidewalk side, and the second roof portion extends to the roadway side. Therefore, the user does not get wet in the rain whether waiting or coming out to the roadway side, and since the roof portion on the roadway side (second roof portion) can be set at a high position, a vehicle with a high vehicle height can pass under the second roof portion.

[0015] In addition, if the simple roof structure according to the present invention is used at a vehicle boarding and alighting area or a waiting area such as a bus, taxi, or train, the risk of passengers getting wet in the rain is reduced while waiting for the vehicle and when boarding. Also, the bus can pass under the second roof part and can be parked under the second roof part.

[0016] Furthermore, according to the simple roof structure of the present invention, since the rainwater receiving part is provided on the column, the raindrops of the rain blowing towards the column and the rainwater transmitted from the roof part to the column are preferably received, so that the risk of the user getting wet by these raindrops and rainwater is reduced.

[0017] Also, according to the simple roof structure of the present invention, the rainwater receiving part includes a bottom plate part that projects in a substantially horizontal direction by going around the column in the horizontal direction, and a side wall part that rises upward from the outer edge of the bottom plate part. A part of the bottom plate part and the side wall part is cut out to form a cutout part, and rainwater is made to flow down from the cutout part. Thus, with a simple structure, the raindrops of the rain blowing towards the column and the rainwater transmitted from the roof part to the column are preferably received and can be made to flow downward.

[0018] Furthermore, according to the simple roof structure of the present invention, the column is installed near the boundary between the roadway and the sidewalk, and the cutout part is formed on the roadway side of the column. Therefore, since the rainwater flowing into the rainwater receiving part flows from the cutout part to the roadway side, there is no concern that the users on the sidewalk side will get splashed with rainwater when there are vehicles on the street.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] Next, the mode for carrying out the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that this embodiment is merely an example for understanding the present invention, and it goes without saying that variations other than this embodiment regarding the shape, structure, material, etc. of each part are allowed within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention. Also, the directions of front (front), rear (back), left, right, up, and down shown in each drawing are also indicated in the specification.

[0021] In the drawings, 1 is a simple roof structure according to the present invention, 2 is a support column erected on the ground at appropriate intervals in the left-right direction, and here, for the sake of convenience, a form with three support columns is shown (of course, it is not limited to this). Also, 3 is the first roof part, 4 is the second roof part, and the simple roof structure 1 is constituted by these.

[0022] More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the support columns 2 are erected on the ground at appropriate intervals. The support columns 2 are made by cutting a substantially prismatic metal pipe to an appropriate length, and the upper end portion is closed by attaching a top plate. As the support columns 2, steel pipes that are stable and low-cost in terms of strength are preferably used, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, aluminum alloy profiles or stainless steel pipes can also be used. Note that the present embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is a bus stop, and the support columns 2 are erected near the boundary between the sidewalk and the roadway. In FIG. 3, the location where the support column is erected and the right side thereof are the sidewalk, and the left side that is slightly lower than the sidewalk is the roadway. That is, the user waits for the bus under the first roof portion 3 on the sidewalk side. When the bus arrives and stops under the second roof portion 4, the user steps out from the sidewalk side to the roadway side and gets on the bus.

[0023] Next, the first roof portion 3 will be described in detail. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIGS. 4 to 9, a main beam 51 extending forward with the support column 2 side as the base end is fixed at a position slightly above the central height position of the support column 2. Similar to the support column 2, the main beam 51 is made by cutting a steel pipe to an appropriate length. In this embodiment, an attachment plate 511 that contacts the front surface of the support column 2 is formed at the base end portion of the main beam 51, and the tip end portion is closed by a front panel. The main beam 51 is fixed to the support column 2 by the attachment plate 511 arranged on the back side of the support column 2, a reinforcing plate 512, a bolt passing through the support column 2, and a nut fastened to the bolt. Note that the fixing of the main beam 51 to the support column 2 is not limited to the above-described means. For example, the main beam 51 may be directly fitted to the support column 2, or the two may be welded together to form an integral body.

[0024] Below the main beam 51, a plurality of purlin members 52 extending in the left-right direction are attached and fixed. These purlin members 52 are also made by appropriately cutting steel pipes to a certain length. Although not shown here, the purlin members 52 are fastened and fixed to the mounting pieces provided on the main beam 51 with bolts and nuts. In addition, for the main beam 51 and the purlin members 52, similar to the columns, steel pipes with stable strength and low cost are preferably used, but it is not limited to this. For example, aluminum alloy profiles or stainless steel pipes can also be used.

[0025] Also, a large number of roof members 53 extending in the front-rear direction are connected in the left-right direction below the purlin members 52, and a frame body 54 is attached so as to surround the periphery of the connected multiple roof members 53 to form a roof part. Generally, the roof members 53 are made by appropriately cutting long extruded bodies of aluminum alloy, synthetic resin, etc. to a certain length. In this embodiment, an extruded profile made of an aluminum alloy, which is relatively easy to design and manufacture in terms of cross-sectional shape, lightweight and high-strength, is used. However, for example, extruded profiles made of other metals such as stainless steel alloys or those formed by appropriately combining plate materials such as steel plates can also be used. Thus, the first roof part 3 is formed.

[0026] Next, the second roof part 4 will be described in detail. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIGS. 4 to 9, a main beam 61 is fixedly provided near the upper end of the column 2. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the main beam 61 extends rearward from the column 2 and also extends slightly forward. That is, the main beam 61 is composed of a rear main beam 611 extending rearward with the column 2 as the base end and a front main beam 612 extending forward. Both the rear main beam 611 and the front main beam 612 are made by appropriately cutting steel pipes to a certain length, similar to the main beam 51. In addition, mounting plates 611a and 612a that contact the rear surface and the front surface of the column 2 are respectively formed at the base ends of the rear main beam 611 and the front main beam 612, and the tip ends are closed by a front panel.

[0027] The mounting plates 611a and 612a sandwich the support column 2 from the front and rear, and the rear main beam 611 and the front main beam 612 are fixed to the support column 2 by bolts passing through the mounting plates 611a, 612a and the support column 2 and nuts fastened to the bolts. Note that the fixing of the main beam 61 to the support column 2 is not limited to the above means. For example, the main beam 61 may be formed of a single beam member on the support column 2 and fitted to the upper end of the support column 2, or the two may be welded together to form an integral body.

[0028] As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, a plurality of purlin members 62 extending in the left-right direction are attached and fixed below the main beam 61. These purlin members 62 are also made by cutting a steel pipe to an appropriate length. Although not shown here, the purlin members 62 are fastened and fixed to attachment pieces provided on the main beam 61 by bolts and nuts. The main beam 61 and the purlin members 62 are preferably made of steel pipes that are stable in strength and low in cost, similar to the main beam 51 and the purlin members 52. However, it is not limited to this, and for example, aluminum alloy profiles or stainless steel pipes can also be used.

[0029] Also, a large number of roof members 63 extending in the front-rear direction are connected in the left-right direction below the purlin members 62, and a frame body 64 is attached so as to surround the periphery of the connected large number of roof members 63 to form a roof portion. Different from the roof members of the first roof portion, the roof members 63 are long bodies that extend not only behind the support column 2 but also in front. Similar to the roof members 53, the roof members 63 are generally made by cutting an extruded long body of an aluminum alloy, synthetic resin, etc. to an appropriate length. In this embodiment, an extruded profile made of an aluminum alloy, which is relatively easy to design and manufacture in terms of cross-sectional shape, lightweight, and high strength, is used. However, for example, an extruded profile made of other metals such as a stainless alloy may also be used, or a structure formed by appropriately combining plate materials such as steel plates can also be used.

[0030] Also, at the location of the column 2 of the roof member 63, an aluminum plate material bent into a shape that avoids this along the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the column 2 is used. In this way, the column 2 penetrates the roof member 63, and rainwater is prevented from leaking through the gap between the roof member 63 and the column 2. Thus, the second roof portion 4 is formed.

[0031] As described above, by forming the first roof portion 3 and the second roof portion 4, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the first roof portion 3 and the second roof portion 4 are arranged at positions where a part of them overlaps in plan view. As a result, even when a user waiting for a bus on the sidewalk side is exposed to some wind-blown rain from the roadway side, the risk of getting wet is reduced. Also, when the user gets on and off the bus, there is no risk of getting wet, and the user can use it with confidence. Furthermore, since the roof portion on the roadway side is provided at a high position, it is possible for a vehicle with a high vehicle height such as a bus to pass under it or park under it.

[0032] As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, gutters 81 and 82 are respectively provided on the first roof portion 3 and the second roof portion 4. That is, on the first roof portion 3, a gutter 81 having an eaves gutter 811 and a vertical gutter 812 is provided. Since the upper surface of the first roof portion 3 is slightly inclined downward toward the rear, rainwater that has fallen on the first roof portion 3 flows downward from the roof member 53 along the eaves gutter 811 and the vertical gutter 812. Similarly, on the second roof portion 4, a gutter 82 having an eaves gutter 821 and a vertical gutter 822 is provided. Since the upper surface of the second roof portion 4 is slightly inclined downward toward the front, rainwater that has fallen on the second roof portion 4 flows downward from the roof member 63 along the eaves gutter 821 and the vertical gutter 822.

[0033] Furthermore, at a position approximately at the center height of the support column 2, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, a rainwater receiving portion 9 is provided. As shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, this rainwater receiving portion 9 is provided around the support column 2, and includes a bottom portion 91 protruding horizontally from the support column 2 and a side wall portion 92 extending upward from the tip of the bottom portion 91. A groove portion (concave groove) 93 is formed between the side wall portion 92 and the support column with the bottom portion 91 interposed therebetween. Further, a part of the bottom portion 91 and the side wall portion 92 is cut out to form a cutout portion 95. As a result, rainwater that has fallen on the main beams 51 and 61 or rainwater that has fallen on the support column 2 and runs down along the support column 2 does not fall downward in a scattered manner but accumulates in the groove portion 93 and falls downward from the cutout portion 95 along the support column 2, so that the worry of the user being splashed with rainwater is extremely reduced. Incidentally, the rainwater receiving portion 9 in the present embodiment is formed of a steel plate and welded to the support column 2, but it is not limited thereto and may be formed of any metal material or synthetic resin material, and may be attached via a metal fitting without welding, or may be fitted to the support column 2.

[0034] Also, in the present embodiment, the shape is adapted to the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the support column 2. For example, if a cylindrical support column 2 is used, the rainwater receiving portion 9 may also be in a ring shape in plan view, and any public shape can be selected and used.

[0035] As described above, the simple roof structure according to the present invention has been described based on the embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Various modifications conceived by those skilled in the art without departing from the gist of the present invention are also included in the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiments, a bus stop is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and it can be used in various places and applications such as taxi stands and waiting areas for other vehicles, boarding and alighting areas for amusement park rides, ferry terminals, etc. Further, in the present embodiment, three support columns 2 are provided, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and two support columns may be provided, or four or more support columns may be provided.

Industrial Applicability

[0036] According to the present invention, there is provided a simple roof structure in which a roof portion is formed between a plurality of columns erected at appropriate intervals in the left-right direction. The roof portion includes a first roof portion extending in either the front-rear direction and a second roof portion provided at a position higher than the first roof portion and extending in a direction opposite to the first roof portion. The second roof portion also extends toward the first roof portion side, and at least a part of the first roof portion and the second roof portion overlap in plan view. Therefore, even if it rains and a little wind blows while a user is waiting under the simple roof structure, it is difficult to get wet. Therefore, although it is exemplified as a bus stop, it is not limited thereto, and it can be used in various places and applications such as taxi stands and waiting areas for other vehicles, boarding and alighting areas for amusement park rides, and the like.

[0037] In addition, since a rainwater receiving portion is provided on the column, it can preferably receive the rain dripping from the rain blowing toward the column and the rainwater transmitted from the main beam to the column. Therefore, the risk of the user getting wet due to these rain drips and rainwater is reduced.
