Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for attaching a roof body of an outdoor structure such as a carport and an attachment auxiliary member.

Background Art

[0002] There are provided outdoor structures such as carports that are configured to be able to arbitrarily change the inclination angle of the roof body. In this type of roof body mounting structure, for example, a support member having a columnar concave surface with a horizontal axis is applied as a support member attached to the edge of the roof body, while a support receiving member having a columnar convex surface with a horizontal axis is applied as a support receiving member attached to a structure such as an outer wall of a house. According to this mounting structure, by bringing the concave surface of the support member and the convex surface of the support receiving member into contact with each other, it becomes possible to rotate the roof body around a horizontal axis with respect to the structure. Therefore, if the support member and the support receiving member are appropriately rotated and a fixing member such as a screw member is interposed between them in this state, it becomes possible to attach the roof body at a desired inclination angle (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, in such a roof body mounting structure, for example, the actual situation is that the rotation angle of the support member with respect to the support receiving member is defined using a measuring device, and a fixing member is provided while maintaining that state, and it is desired to facilitate the work.

[0005] In view of the above situation, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for attaching a roof body and an attachment auxiliary member that can easily install the roof body at a desired inclination angle.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, a method for attaching a roof body according to the present invention includes a support member provided at an edge of the roof body and a support receiving member attached to a building and rotatably connected to the support member about a horizontal axis. By providing a fixture between the support member and the support receiving member, the roof body is fixed at a desired inclination angle via the support member and the support receiving member. A gap is provided between the support member and the support receiving member, the gap changing in mutual distance when they rotate relative to each other. By interposing an attachment auxiliary member in the gap to limit the relative rotation of the support member and the support receiving member, the inclination angle of the roof body with respect to the building is defined.

[0007] Further, an attachment auxiliary member according to the present invention includes a support member provided at an edge of a roof body and a support receiving member attached to a building and rotatably connected to the support member about a horizontal axis. By providing a fixture between the support member and the support receiving member, the attachment auxiliary member is applied when fixing the roof body at a desired inclination angle via the support member and the support receiving member. The attachment auxiliary member has a mounting portion mounted on either one of the support member and the support receiving member, and a contact portion that defines the inclination angle of the roof body with respect to the building by contacting the other when the support member and the support receiving member are rotated relative to each other while being mounted on either one of the support member and the support receiving member via the mounting portion.

Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the present invention, if the relative rotation is restricted by interposing an attachment auxiliary member in the gap between the support member and the support receiving member, the support member and the support receiving member are arranged at a desired rotation angle without using a measuring device, so that the roof body can be easily installed at a desired inclination angle.

[0009] Further, according to the present invention, by attaching to either the support member or the support receiving member via the attachment portion and relatively rotating the support member and the support receiving member to bring them into contact with each other, the support member and the support receiving member can be arranged at a desired rotation angle without using a measuring device, so that the roof body can be easily installed at a desired inclination angle.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a method for attaching a roof body and an attachment auxiliary member according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figs. 1 to 3 show an outdoor structure to which the method for attaching a roof body according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied. The outdoor structure illustrated here is a carport having a rectangular outer shape and having a flat parking space provided at a position close to the outer wall (structure) W of a house, and includes a column 1 and a roof body 10.

[0012] The columns 1 are provided on both sides of a portion on the front side of the parking space, and are erected vertically along the vertical direction so as to have the same height. As shown in Fig. 4, a cross member 2 is installed between the upper end portions of the columns 1. The cross member 2 includes a cross member base portion 3 having a support concave surface 3a at the upper portion and a connecting member portion 4 disposed on the support concave surface 3a of the cross member base portion 3, and is connected to each column 1 via both end portions of the cross member base portion 3. The support concave surface 3a is a substantially semi-cylindrical concave portion centered on an axis along the horizontal direction and opens upward. The connecting member portion 4 is cylindrical and is disposed on the support concave surface 3a so as to be rotatable.

[0013] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the roof body 10 is configured in a rectangular shape and includes a plurality of vertical members 11 extending parallel to each other and panels 12 provided between upper portions of the vertical members 11, and is configured to have outer dimensions that can cover a parking space. A front frame 13 is provided at the front edge of the roof body 10, and a rear frame 14 is provided at the rear edge of the roof body 10. The rear frame 14 has a frame upper wall portion 14b at the upper edge of a rear frame base portion 14a extending vertically and a frame lower wall portion 14c at the lower edge of the rear frame base portion 14a. The frame upper wall portion 14b extends from the upper edge of the rear frame base portion 14a toward the front side, then bends upward, and further extends toward the front side. The frame lower wall portion 14c extends from the lower edge of the rear frame base portion 14a toward the front side, then bends downward and extends, and further extends toward the front side. A connecting piece 14d protrudes toward the outer wall W side at the lower edge of the frame lower wall portion 14c. The front edge portion of this roof body 10 is supported by the column 1 by connecting the horizontal member 2 to the lower surface of the vertical member 11 via the connecting member portion 4, and the rear edge portion is supported by the outer wall W of the house via the angle adjustment mechanism 20.

[0014] The angle adjustment mechanism 20 includes a support member 21 attached to the rear frame 14 of the roof body 10 and a support receiving member 22 attached to the outer wall W of the house. The support member 21 and the support receiving member 22 each have a dimension along the longitudinal direction that is substantially the same length as the rear frame 14 of the roof body 10.

[0015] As shown in FIGS. 4, 6, and 7, the support member 21 is integrally formed with a support substrate portion 21a, a support upper wall portion 21b, and a support engagement wall portion 21c. The support substrate portion 21a is arranged to overlap the rear surface 14e on the outer wall W side of the rear frame 14 and has a flat plate shape along the vertical direction. The support substrate portion 21a is provided with a connecting wall portion 21d at the lower edge portion, and a concave surface 21e is provided on the surface located on the outer wall W side. The connecting wall portion 21d extends from the lower edge of the support substrate portion 21a toward the rear frame 14 and is configured to have a plate thickness larger than that of the support substrate portion 21a. The concave surface 21e has a cylindrical shape centered on an axis along the horizontal direction and is provided at a portion substantially in the middle in the height direction of the support substrate portion 21a. The support upper wall portion 21b extends from the upper edge of the support substrate portion 21a toward the rear frame 14. The support upper wall portion 21b is formed to have dimensions such that it can overlap the frame upper wall portion 14b of the rear frame 14 when the support substrate portion 21a is brought into contact with the rear surface 14e of the rear frame 14. The support engagement wall portion 21c extends from the upper edge of the support substrate portion 21a toward the outer wall W and is slightly curved so as to be convex upward. At the extending edge portion of the support engagement wall portion 21c, a support engagement claw portion 21f protrudes downward. A seal member 23 is attached to the upper surface of the support engagement wall portion 21c via a pocket portion 21g. The above-described support member 21 is attached to the rear frame 14 by overlapping the support upper wall portion 21b on the frame upper wall portion 14b of the support substrate portion 21a in a state where the support substrate portion 21a is in contact with the rear surface 14e of the rear frame 14, overlapping the connecting wall portion 21d on the upper surface of the connecting piece 14d, and screwing a screw member 24 into the connecting wall portion 21d via the connecting piece 14d in this state.

[0016] The supported receiving member 22 is formed by integrally molding an upper receiving substrate portion 22a, a cylindrical ridge portion 22b, a lower receiving substrate portion 22c, a receiving upper wall portion 22d, a receiving engaging wall portion 22e, and a receiving lower wall portion 22f. The upper receiving substrate portion 22a is for attaching to the surface of the outer wall W and has a flat plate shape. The cylindrical ridge portion 22b extends forward from the lower edge portion of the upper receiving substrate portion 22a, then curves downward in a cylindrical shape, and further extends toward the outer wall W. The portion curved in a cylindrical shape in the cylindrical ridge portion 22b is configured as a ridge so as to be able to slidably contact the concave surface 21e of the support member 21. The lower receiving substrate portion 22c, similar to the upper receiving substrate portion 22a, is for attaching to the surface of the outer wall W, extends downward from the edge portion on the indoor side of the cylindrical ridge portion 22b, and has a flat plate shape located on the same plane as the upper receiving substrate portion 22a. The receiving upper wall portion 22d extends forward from the upper edge of the upper receiving substrate portion 22a, then bends upward, and further extends forward. This receiving upper wall portion 22d extends at a position above the support engaging wall portion 21c and the support upper wall portion 21b when the cylindrical ridge portion 22b is brought into contact with the concave surface 21e of the support member 21, and is configured such that the gap d1 between it and the support upper wall portion 21b changes when the cylindrical ridge portion 22b is relatively rotated along the horizontal axis so as to slidably contact the concave surface 21e.

[0017] The receiving engagement wall portion 22e extends forward from a portion below the receiving upper wall portion 22d on the surface located on the front side of the upper receiving substrate portion 22a, and is slightly curved so as to be convex upward. At the extending edge portion of the receiving engagement wall portion 22e, a receiving engagement claw portion 22g is provided so as to project upward. This receiving engagement wall portion 22e extends at a position below the support engagement wall portion 21c when the cylindrical ridge portion 22b is brought into contact with the concave surface 21e of the support member 21, and when the cylindrical ridge portion 22b is relatively rotated along the horizontal axis so as to be in sliding contact with the concave surface 21e, the receiving engagement claw portion 22g is configured to be engageable with the support engagement claw portion 21f. The receiving lower wall portion 22f is in the form of a flat plate extending substantially horizontally forward from the lower edge portion of the lower receiving substrate portion 22c. This receiving lower wall portion 22f is configured to extend at a position below the connecting wall portion 21d when the cylindrical ridge portion 22b is brought into contact with the concave surface 21e of the support member 21. The above-described support receiving member 22 is attached to the outer wall W by screwing a screw member B into the outer wall W through the upper receiving substrate portion 22a and the lower receiving substrate portion 22c at a desired height position of the outer wall W.

[0018] To attach the roof body 10 to the outer wall W by applying the angle adjustment mechanism 20 configured as described above, after bringing the concave surface 21e of the support member 21 into contact with the cylindrical ridge portion 22b, the inclination angle of the roof body 10 is appropriately set, and from that state, a fixing screw member (fastener) 25 may be screwed into the cylindrical ridge portion 22b through the rear frame base portion 14a of the rear frame 14 and the support substrate portion 21a of the support member 21. Although not shown clearly in the figure, the fixing screw members 25 are provided at a plurality of locations along the length of the rear frame 14.

[0019] Here, the above-described angle adjustment mechanism 20 is provided with an attachment auxiliary member 30 for setting the inclination angle of the roof body 10 to a standard angle. The standard angle is a standard preset as the inclination angle of the roof body 10. For example, when there is no particular specification for the inclination angle of the roof body 10, the roof body 10 is attached at this standard angle. The attachment auxiliary member 30 is inserted into the gap d1 between the support upper wall portion 21b of the support member 21 and the receiving upper wall portion 22d of the support receiving member 22 to set the rotation angle of the support member 21 with respect to the support receiving member 22 to the standard angle. In the example shown in FIG. 5, an attachment auxiliary member 30 configured in a block shape is applied. That is, in the present embodiment, an attachment auxiliary member 30 having a main body portion 30a having a columnar shape with a trapezoidal cross section and an insertion portion 30b protruding from one side edge portion of the main body portion 30a is exemplified. A step portion 30c is formed between the main body portion 30a and the insertion portion 30b. The insertion portion 30b has a gradually increasing plate thickness toward the main body portion 30a, and is configured such that the plate thickness t of the portion close to the step portion 30c becomes the standard plate thickness. The standard plate thickness is set to a distance corresponding to the gap d1 between the support upper wall portion 21b of the support member 21 and the receiving upper wall portion 22d of the support receiving member 22 when the rotation angle of the support member 21 with respect to the support receiving member 22 becomes an angle corresponding to the standard angle. The dimension along the longitudinal direction of the attachment auxiliary member 30 may be the same as that of the support member 21 and the support receiving member 22, or may be configured to be shorter than the support member 21 and the support receiving member 22.

[0020] To attach the roof body 10 by applying the attachment auxiliary member 30, first, as shown in FIG. 6(a), the support receiving member 22 is attached to the outer wall W, and the support member 21 is attached to the rear frame 14 before being attached to the roof body 10. From this state, as shown in FIG. 6(b), the support member 21 is held in a state of being attached to the support receiving member 22 with the concave surface 21e in contact with the cylindrical protrusion 22b. Thereafter, the insertion portion 30b of the attachment auxiliary member 30 is disposed in the gap d1 between the support upper wall portion 21b of the support member 21 and the receiving upper wall portion 22d of the support receiving member 22.

[0021] Thereafter, as shown in Fig. 7(a), the extending edge portion of the receiving upper wall portion 22d is brought into contact with the stepped portion 30c of the attachment auxiliary member 30, and while the concave surface 21e is in contact with the cylindrical ridge portion 22b, the support member 21 is appropriately rotated so that the insertion portion 30b is disposed without a gap between the support upper wall portion 21b and the receiving upper wall portion 22d. From this state, as shown in Fig. 7(b), if the fixing screw member 25 is screwed into the cylindrical ridge portion 22b of the support receiving member 22 through the rear frame base portion 14a of the rear frame 14 and the support substrate portion 21a of the support member 21, the support member 21 and the rear frame 14 are fixed to the support receiving member 22 in a state where they are at a standard angle without using a measuring device. Therefore, if the roof body 10 is attached to this rear frame 14, it becomes possible to construct a carport in which the roof body 10 is inclined at a standard angle. After the fixing screw member 25 is screwed in, the attachment auxiliary member 30 may be removed from the gap d1 between the support member 21 and the support receiving member 22.

[0022] Note that the position where the attachment auxiliary member 30 is interposed is not necessarily limited to the gap d1 between the support upper wall portion 21b and the receiving upper wall portion 22d, and as shown in Modification Example 1 of Fig. 8, it may be interposed in the gap d2 between the lower receiving substrate portion 22c of the support receiving member 22 and the support substrate portion 21a of the support member 21. That is, the attachment auxiliary member 31 applied in Modification Example 1 protrudes forward from the lower receiving wall portion 22f when placed on the lower receiving wall portion 22f of the support receiving member 22 and one side surface 31a is in contact with the lower receiving substrate portion 22c, and the other side surface 31b is set to be along and in contact with the support substrate portion 21a of the support member 21 when the support member 21 is disposed at a standard angle with respect to the support receiving member 22. Even when the attachment auxiliary member 31 of this Modification Example 1 is applied, if the fixing screw member 25 is screwed into the cylindrical ridge portion 22b of the support receiving member 22 through the rear frame base portion 14a of the rear frame 14 and the support substrate portion 21a of the support member 21, the support member 21 and the rear frame 14 are fixed to the support receiving member 22 in a state where they are at a standard angle without using a measuring device. The same reference numerals are given to the same configurations as those in the embodiment in Modification Example 1.

[0023] In addition, the attachment auxiliary member is not limited to the above-described block shape, and any other shape may be used as long as it is interposed in the gap between the support member 21 and the support receiving member 22 and restricts relative rotation. For example, in Modification 2 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, an attachment auxiliary member 32 made of an extruded shape member having a mounting plate portion (mounting portion) 32a and an abutting plate portion 32b is applied. The mounting plate portion 32a and the abutting plate portion 32b are each in the shape of a flat plate and are connected to each other via one side edge portion. An insertion groove (mounting portion) 32c into which the receiving lower wall portion 22f of the support receiving member 22 can be inserted is provided on the surface inside the mounting plate portion 32a. The intersection angle between the mounting plate portion 32a and the abutting plate portion 32b is set such that the abutting plate portion 32b is along the support substrate portion 21a of the support member 21 and abuts on the support substrate portion 21a when the support member 21 is arranged at a standard angle with respect to the support receiving member 22 in a state where the attachment auxiliary member 32 is attached to the receiving lower wall portion 22f of the support receiving member 22 via the insertion groove 32c. The same components as those in the embodiment in Modification 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0024] To attach the roof body 10 by applying the attachment auxiliary member 32 of Modification 2, first, as shown in FIG. 10(a), the attachment auxiliary member 32 is attached to the receiving lower wall portion 22f of the support receiving member 22, and the support member 21 is held in a state where it is attached to the support receiving member 22 with the concave surface 21e abutting on the cylindrical ridge portion 22b.

[0025] Next, as shown in FIG. 10(b), with the concave surface 21e in contact with the cylindrical ridge portion 22b, the support member 21 is appropriately rotated so that the support substrate portion 21a of the support member 21 contacts the contact plate portion 32b. Thereafter, if the fixing screw member 25 is screwed into the cylindrical ridge portion 22b of the support receiving member 22 through the rear frame base portion 14a of the rear frame 14 and the support substrate portion 21a of the support member 21, the support member 21 and the rear frame 14 will be fixed to the support receiving member 22 at a standard angle without using a measuring device. Therefore, if the roof body 10 is attached to this rear frame 14, it becomes possible to construct a carport in which the roof body 10 is inclined at a standard angle. After the fixing screw member 25 is screwed in, the attachment auxiliary member 32 may be removed from the gap d2 between the support member 21 and the support receiving member 22, or it may be left in the attached state as it is.

[0026] Note that the insertion groove 32c of the attachment auxiliary member 32 may be provided on the surface on the outer side of the mounting plate portion 32a, like the attachment auxiliary member 32' of Modification 3 shown in FIGS. 11 and 12. The same components as those in Modification 2 in Modification 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0027] On the other hand, in Modification 4 shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, an attachment auxiliary member 33 having a mounting plate portion (mounting portion) 33a and a contact plate portion 33b is applied. This attachment auxiliary member 33 is provided with a contact piece 33c on the mounting plate portion 33a instead of the insertion groove 32c of Modification 2. The intersection angle between the mounting plate portion 33a and the contact plate portion 33b is set such that when the support member 21 is arranged at a standard angle with respect to the support receiving member 22 with the edge portion of the receiving lower wall portion 22f in contact with the contact piece 33c and the mounting plate portion 33a overlapped with the lower surface of the receiving lower wall portion 22f, the contact plate portion 33b is along and in contact with the support substrate portion 21a of the support member 21. The same components as those in the embodiment in Modification 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0028] To attach the roof body 10 by applying the attachment auxiliary member 33 of Modification 4, as shown in FIG. 14, the edge of the receiving lower wall portion 22f is brought into contact with the abutting piece 33c, and with the mounting plate portion 33a overlapped with the lower surface of the receiving lower wall portion 22f, a mounting screw member (mounting fixture) 26 is screwed into the receiving lower wall portion 22 through the mounting plate portion 33a to maintain the state in which the attachment auxiliary member 33 is attached to the support receiving member 22.

[0029] From this state, with the concave surface 21e in contact with the cylindrical rib portion 22b, the support member 21 is appropriately rotated, and with the support substrate portion 21a of the support member 21 in contact with the contact plate portion 33b, a fixing screw member 25 is screwed into the cylindrical rib portion 22b of the support receiving member 22 through the rear frame base portion 14a of the rear frame 14 and the support substrate portion 21a of the support member 21. Then, without using a measuring device, the support member 21 and the rear frame 14 are fixed to the support receiving member 22 in a state where they are at a standard angle. Therefore, if the roof body 10 is attached to this rear frame 14, it becomes possible to construct a carport in which the roof body 10 is inclined at a standard angle. After screwing the fixing screw member 25, the attachment auxiliary member 33 may be removed from the gap d2 between the support member 21 and the support receiving member 22, or it may be left in the attached state as it is.

[0030] In the above-described embodiments, specific shapes are exemplified as the shapes of the support member 21 and the support receiving member 22 interposed between the outer wall W and the roof body 10. However, the support member and the support receiving member are not limited to those described above, for example, the concave surface and the cylindrical protruding portion may be provided in reverse. Any support member and support receiving member that are rotatably connected to each other about a horizontal axis may be used. The specific configuration of the roof body is not limited to that of the embodiments either. Also, although the attachment auxiliary member 33 is exemplified as being set to a standard angle, it may be set to other inclination angles, or a plurality of types prepared in advance and set to a plurality of inclination angles may be used. Furthermore, the attachment target of the support receiving member is not limited to the outer wall, and it may be other structures as long as they are buildings. Additionally, although screw members are exemplified as the fixtures and the mounting fixtures respectively, it is also possible to use other fixtures such as rivets.

[0031] As described above, the method for attaching a roof body according to the present invention includes a support member provided at an edge of the roof body and a support receiving member attached to a building and rotatably connected to the support member about a horizontal axis. By providing a fixture between the support member and the support receiving member, the roof body is fixed at a desired inclination angle via the support member and the support receiving member. A gap is provided between the support member and the support receiving member, and the gap changes in mutual distance when they rotate relative to each other. By interposing an attachment auxiliary member in the gap to limit the relative rotation of the support member and the support receiving member, the inclination angle of the roof body with respect to the building is defined. According to this invention, if the relative rotation is restricted by interposing an attachment auxiliary member in the gap between the support member and the support receiving member, the support member and the support receiving member are arranged at a desired rotation angle without using a measuring device. Therefore, the roof body can be easily installed at a desired inclination angle.

[0032] Further, in the present invention, in the method for attaching a roof body described above, the attachment auxiliary member is provided with an insertion portion whose plate thickness gradually changes, and a stepped portion is provided so as to protrude from at least one surface of the insertion portion. The insertion portion is inserted into the gap until either one of the support member and the support receiving member abuts against the stepped portion, and the support member and the support receiving member are each brought into contact with the insertion portion. According to this invention, if either one of the support member and the support receiving member is brought into contact with the stepped portion, a gap having a specified dimension is secured between these support member and support receiving member. In other words, the support member and the support receiving member are arranged at a desired rotation angle, and the inclination angle of the roof body can be defined more easily and accurately.

[0033] The attachment auxiliary member according to the present invention includes a support member provided at an edge of a roof body, and a support receiving member attached to a building and rotatably connected to the support member about a horizontal axis. By providing a fixture between the support member and the support receiving member, it is an attachment auxiliary member applied when fixing the roof body at a desired inclination angle via the support member and the support receiving member, and includes a mounting portion mounted on either one of the support member and the support receiving member, and a contact portion that defines an inclination angle of the roof body with respect to the building by contacting the other when the support member and the support receiving member are relatively rotated while being mounted on either one of the support member and the support receiving member via the mounting portion. According to the present invention, if it is mounted on either one of the support member and the support receiving member via the mounting portion and the support member and the support receiving member are relatively rotated and brought into contact with the other, the support member and the support receiving member are arranged at a desired rotation angle without using a measuring device, so that the roof body can be easily installed at a desired inclination angle.

[0034] The present invention also relates to the attachment auxiliary member described above, wherein the mounting portion is configured in a groove shape into which a fin portion provided on the support receiving member is inserted. According to the present invention, since the fin portion can be inserted into the mounting portion and thus can be mounted on the support receiving member, there is no risk of complicating the work.

[0035] The present invention also relates to the attachment auxiliary member described above, wherein the mounting portion is configured in a flat plate shape provided with a mounting fixture in a state of being overlapped with a fin portion provided on the support receiving member. According to the present invention, since it can be mounted on the support receiving member by screwing a screw member after overlapping with the fin portion, there is no risk of complicating the work.
