[0011] Hereinafter, a temporary building according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0012] 1, 2, and 3, a temporary building 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention is installed next to a pool (not shown) outdoors, such as on a beach, and is equipped with a diving board 2 for high diving, a type of diving competition. In this embodiment, the temporary building 1 has multiple floors, and five diving boards 2 at different heights from the ground are installed on its front side (the side shown in FIG. 1).

[0013] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the temporary building 1 has a lower gantry 10. As shown in Figure 4, the lower gantry 10 is equipped with multiple (seven in the illustrated case) main girders 11 and multiple girder supports 12 arranged perpendicular to the main girders 11. Each main girder 11 and girder support 12 is arranged horizontally. Although only one girder support 12 is shown in Figure 4, multiple (six) girder supports 12 are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart below the main girder 11. As a result, the lower gantry 10 is configured in a grid shape with multiple main girders 11 and multiple girder supports 12.

[0014] A plurality of support piles 13 are driven into the ground 3 on which the temporary building 1 is to be placed. The lower gantry 10 is supported by a plurality of girder supports 12 on the upper ends of the plurality of support piles 13 and is placed horizontally on the ground 3.

[0015] As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, a building body 20 is installed on the lower gantry 10. The building body 20 has a plurality of columns 21 and a plurality of beams 22, and is configured in a skeletal shape with a plurality of block-shaped lattice sections, each made up of the columns 21 and the beams 22, connected in the horizontal and vertical directions. In this embodiment, the building body 20 has a rectangular outer shape in a plan view, with a plurality of columns 21 arranged along the periphery of the rectangular shape and a plurality of columns 21 also arranged inside the rectangular shape. For convenience, only some of the columns 21 and beams 22 are labeled with reference numerals in Figures 1, 2, and 3.

[0016] Each of the pillars 21 has its lower end fixed to the lower gantry 10 and is installed on the lower gantry 10. As shown schematically in Fig. 5, each of the pillars 21 is formed by connecting a plurality of pillar components 21a in the vertical direction.

[0017] The connecting structure of the upper and lower pillars 21 may be various structures such as a spigot-type (insertion type) structure, a connecting structure using a connecting member, etc. The number of pillar components 21a constituting the pillars 21 may be set appropriately according to the height of the building body 20.

[0018] A plurality of beams 22 are bridged between adjacent support components 21a. The beams 22 are formed, for example, from steel pipes of a predetermined length. In this embodiment, the support components 21a have a plurality of flange-shaped connecting portions 21b fixed at intervals in the vertical direction, and one end of each beam 22 is connected to the connecting portion 21b of one of the support components 21a constituting an adjacent support 21 using a connecting tool (not shown), and the other end is connected to the connecting portion 21b of the support component 21a constituting the other adjacent support 21 using a connecting tool (not shown), thereby bridging the gap between the adjacent support components 21a. The connector connecting the connecting portion 21b of the support component 21a to the beam 22 may be of various configurations, as long as it is capable of connecting the connecting portion 21b to the beam 22, such as a pin member inserted into a connecting hole (not shown) provided in the connecting portion 21b and a connecting hole provided at the end of the beam 22.

[0019] The beams 22 are arranged in multiple layers in the vertical direction. That is, the beams 22 are spanned between the columns 21 at multiple positions at different heights from the ground, so that multiple stories made up of the beams 22 are arranged in the vertical direction.

[0020] Flooring 23 is installed between beams 22 that make up the floors of the main building body 20 on which the diving boards 2 are installed. In other words, the flooring 23 forms the platform for each diving board 2. Inside the main building body 20, stairs 30 are installed that extend from the ground to the floors on which the diving boards 2 are installed. The stairs 30 are installed in the spaces between multiple beams 22 that are arranged in a rectangular shape in a plan view. The stairs 30 extend to the top floor of the main building body 20, and flooring 23 is also installed on the top floor. Furthermore, handrails 31 are installed on each floor on which the flooring 23 is installed.

[0021] The building body 20 may be configured with brace members 40 that are diagonally placed between adjacent columns 21 and two vertically adjacent beam members 22, or between four beam members 22 arranged in a rectangular shape in plan view. For convenience, only some of the brace members 40 are marked with reference numerals in Figures 1 to 3.

[0022] 1 and 2, the temporary building 1 has a wire rope 52. One end (lower end) of the wire rope 52 is connected to a lower connection part 50 provided on the lower gantry 10, and the other end (upper end) is connected to an upper connection part 51 provided on the support component 21a or the beam 22 above the lower connection part 50, and the wire rope 52 extends taut between the lower connection part 50 and the upper connection part 51 at an angle relative to the vertical direction.

[0023] A steel wire rope having a predetermined length and strength can be used as the wire rope 52. The lower connecting part 50 and the upper connecting part 51 may have various configurations, such as U-shaped metal fittings, as long as they can connect the wire rope 52.

[0024] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, eight wire ropes 52 are installed along the front of the temporary building 1, and as shown in Figure 2, eight wire ropes 52 are installed along the side of the temporary building 1.

[0025] More specifically, as shown in Figure 1, at the front of the temporary building 1, lower connection parts 50 are provided on both ends of the main girder 11 located on the frontmost side of the lower gantry 10.

[0028] 2, on the side of the temporary building 1, lower connection parts 50 are provided on both ends of the girder support 12 arranged on the side furthest to the side of the lower gantry 10. The lower ends of four wire ropes 52 are connected to these lower connection parts 50, respectively.

[0029] Of the four wire ropes 52 connected to the lower connector 50 located on the left side in FIG. 2, the upper end of one wire rope 52 is connected to an upper connector 51 provided on a support component 21a constituting the support 21 located second from the right end in FIG. 2, between the topmost story and the story containing the diving board 2 located highest. Of the four wire ropes 52 connected to the lower connector 50 located on the left side in FIG. 2, the upper end of another wire rope 52 is connected to an upper connector 51 provided on a support component 21a constituting the support 21 located second from the right end in FIG. 2, on the story containing the diving board 2 located second from the top. Of the four wire ropes 52 connected to the lower connector 50 located on the left side in FIG. 2, the upper end of yet another wire rope 52 is connected to an upper connector 51 provided on a support component 21a constituting the support 21 located second from the right end in FIG. 2, on the story containing the diving board 2 located second from the top. Furthermore, of the four wire ropes 52 connected to the lower connection part 50 located on the left side in Figure 2, the upper end of the remaining wire rope 52 is connected to the upper connection part 51 provided on the support component 21a that constitutes the support 21 located second from the right end in Figure 2, between the second diving board 2 from the top and the third diving board 2 from the top.

[0030] Similarly, of the four wire ropes 52 connected to the lower connector 50 located on the right side in FIG. 2, the upper end of one wire rope 52 is connected to an upper connector 51 provided on a support component 21a constituting the support 21 located second from the left end in FIG. 2, between the topmost story and the story containing the diving board 2 located highest. Furthermore, of the four wire ropes 52 connected to the lower connector 50 located on the right side in FIG. 2, the upper end of another wire rope 52 is connected to an upper connector 51 provided on a support component 21a constituting the support 21 located second from the left end in FIG. 2, on the story containing the diving board 2 located second from the top. Furthermore, of the four wire ropes 52 connected to the lower connector 50 located on the right side in FIG. 2, the upper end of yet another wire rope 52 is connected to an upper connector 51 provided on a support component 21a constituting the support 21 located at the leftmost end in FIG. 2, on the story containing the diving board 2 located second from the top. Furthermore, of the four wire ropes 52 connected to the lower connection part 50 located on the right side in Figure 2, the upper end of the remaining wire rope 52 is connected to the upper connection part 51 provided on the support component 21a that constitutes the support 21 located second from the left end in Figure 2, between the second diving board 2 from the top and the third diving board 2 from the top.

[0031] Although not shown in detail, eight wire ropes 52 are also provided on the back side of the temporary building 1, facing the opposite side from the front, in the same arrangement as on the front, and eight wire ropes 52 are also provided on the side of the temporary building 1, facing the opposite side from the side shown in Figure 2, in the same arrangement as on the side shown in Figure 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, four wire ropes 52 are connected to each lower connection part 50, but the number of wire ropes 52 connected to one lower connection part 50 may be set as appropriate. Furthermore, the connection positions of the upper ends of the four wire ropes 52, i.e., the position of the upper connection part 51, can be changed as appropriate depending on the number of wire ropes 52, the number of pillars 21, the height of the building body 20, etc.

[0033] In this way, the temporary building 1 of this embodiment has a configuration in which a plurality of pillars 21 are formed by connecting a plurality of pillar components 21a in the vertical direction, and a plurality of beams 22 are bridged between adjacent pillar components 21a and arranged in multiple layers in the vertical direction, and a wire rope 52 extending at an angle to the vertical direction is connected in a taut state, i.e., with a predetermined tension, between a lower connection part 50 provided on the lower platform 10 and an upper connection part 51 provided on the pillar component 21a above the lower connection part 50. As a result, the tension of the wire rope 52 applies a load to the multiple pillars 21 arranged between the lower connection portion 50 and the upper connection portion 51 in a direction that moves the pillar components 21a that make up the pillars 21 closer to each other, thereby reducing rattling that occurs at the connection portion between the upper and lower pillar components 21a, and also applies a load to the multiple beams 22 arranged between the lower connection portion 50 and the upper connection portion 51 in a direction that moves the beams 22 closer to the pillars 21 to which they are connected, thereby reducing rattling that occurs at the connection portion between the pillar components 21a and the beams 22. Therefore, the overall rigidity of the temporary building 1, i.e., the building main body 20, can be increased. Furthermore, because the overall rigidity of the temporary building 1 can be increased, even when the temporary building 1 is installed outdoors, it is possible to prevent the temporary building 1 from swaying due to the influence of wind.

[0034] Furthermore, in the temporary building 1 according to this embodiment, the lower ends of multiple wire ropes 52 are connected to one lower connection part 50, and the upper ends of these wire ropes 52 are connected to the pillar components 21a so that at least some of them are at different vertical and horizontal positions from each other, so that it is possible to more uniformly reduce rattles that occur at the connecting parts of the upper and lower pillar components 21a and at the connecting parts between the pillar components 21a and the beams 22 throughout the entire building main body 20. Therefore, in the temporary building 1 according to this embodiment, the overall rigidity of the temporary building 1 can be further increased. Furthermore, by enabling the installation of multiple wire ropes 52 with a simple configuration while further increasing the overall rigidity of the temporary building 1, a temporary building 1 with increased overall rigidity can be provided at low cost.

[0035] 1 and 2, multiple wire ropes 52 are arranged along the front or side of the building body 20, but the wire ropes 52 may also be arranged inside the building body 20. In this case, the lower end of the wire rope 52 may be connected to a lower connection part 50 arranged on the front or side of the building body 20, and the upper end of the wire rope 52 may be connected to a support component 21a that constitutes the interior of the building body 20, or the lower end of the wire rope 52 may be connected to a lower connection part 50 arranged on the front or side of the building body 20, and the wire rope 52 may be passed through the interior of the building body 20 and connected to a support component 21a arranged on the other back or side of the building body 20.

[0036] In addition, a configuration may be adopted in which multiple wire ropes 52 are arranged along the front or side of the building main body 20, and multiple wire ropes 52 are also arranged inside the building main body 20.

[0037] The temporary building 1 according to this embodiment preferably further comprises a tension adjusting device 60 as shown in FIG.

[0038] The tension adjusting device 60 is connected to the wire rope 52 and is capable of adjusting the tension of the wire rope 52. The tension adjusting device 60 may, for example, have a main body 61 to which the wire rope 52 is connected, a lever 62 provided on the main body 61, and a connection wire 63 that connects the main body 61 to the lower connection part 50, and the tension of the wire rope 52 can be increased by operating the lever 62.

[0039] Although FIG. 6 shows only one tension adjusting device 60 connected to one wire rope 52, all of the wire ropes 52 are connected to one tension adjusting device 60 each.

[0040] By providing such a tension adjustment device 60, the desired tension can be easily applied to the wire rope 52 connected between the lower connection part 50 and the upper connection part 51, and if the tension of the wire rope 52 drops below the desired tension due to changes over time, the tension of the wire rope 52 can be easily adjusted to the desired tension.

[0041] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0042] For example, in the above embodiment, the temporary building 1 is used to set up a diving board 2 for high diving competitions, but it is not limited to this and may be used for other purposes, such as setting up stage equipment or sound equipment for outdoor events such as concerts.

[0043] In addition, in the above embodiment, the upper ends of each wire rope 52 are connected to the upper connection parts 51 provided on the support component 21a, but the upper ends of each wire rope 52 may also be connected to the upper connection parts 51 provided on the beam material 22.

[0044] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a plurality of wire ropes 52 are provided, but it is sufficient to provide at least one wire rope 52. Even when a plurality of wire ropes 52 are provided, each wire rope 52 may be connected to a separate lower connection portion 50.

[0045] Furthermore, the height, size, and shape of the building body 20, the number of pillars 21 or pillar components 21a used to construct the building body 20, and the number of beams 22 can be changed as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
