DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] An embodiment of a roof structure of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a roof structure having a roof supported by pillars, which is used as, for example, a carport or a terrace roof, will be described as an example.

[0011] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the roof structure 1 of this embodiment has a roof 2 covering the parking area S, two pillars 3 supporting the roof 2 and beams 4 connected to the upper ends of each pillar 3, horizontal gutter materials 5 fixed to the upper ends of the two pillars 3, and a lighting unit 6 provided below the horizontal gutter materials 5.

[0012] The roof 2 is in the form of a roughly rectangular panel, and is fixed under the beams 4 connected to the upper ends of the columns 3, and is installed at an angle so that the column 3 side is lower. In the following explanation, the longitudinal direction of the roof 2 is referred to as the X direction, and the lateral direction of the roof 2 is referred to as the Y direction. Whether each part of the roof structural body 1 or each member constituting the roof structural body 1 is in a standalone state, the explanation will be given by specifying the directions as the X direction and the Y direction when installed.

[0013] The two pillars 3 are erected at a distance from each other in the X direction, and as shown in Fig. 3, one of the two pillars 3 is provided with a vertical gutter 3a through which rainwater and the like flows, and the other pillar 3 is provided with an insertion space 3b through which a power supply cable 60b of the lighting unit 6 is inserted. Each pillar 3 has a pillar body 30 with a hollow portion 30a penetrating in the vertical direction, and cover materials 31 and 32 fitted to the pillar body 30. The pillar body 30 and the cover materials 31 and 32 are all extruded members with the vertical direction as the extrusion direction.

[0014] 3, the pillar main body 30 has a square tube portion 30b having a substantially rectangular cross section and forming a hollow portion 30a, and a pair of extension portions 30d extending toward the parking area S along opposing wall portions 30c of the square tube portion 30b that face each other in the X direction with the hollow portion 30a in between. That is, the pillar main body 30 has a groove portion 30e recessed in the up-down direction on the parking area S side of the hollow portion 30a toward the opposite side from the parking area S (hereinafter referred to as the anti-parking area side).

[0015] Each of the cover materials 31, 32 is attached to the parking area S side of the pillar main body 30 and has a plate-shaped cover main body 31a, 32a that covers the groove portion 30e, and locking portions 31b, 32b that are provided near both ends of the cover main bodies 31a, 32a in the X direction on the side opposite the parking area and that lock onto the opposing wall portion 30c. One of the two cover materials 31, 32, cover material 31, has a vertical gutter portion 3a that is provided between the locking portions 31b and penetrates in the vertical direction.

[0016] When the cover material 32 is fitted to the pillar body 30, the groove 30e covered by the cover material 32 forms an insertion space 3b through which the power supply cable 60b of the lighting unit 6 is inserted. In Fig. 1, the cover material 32 is attached to the pillar 3 on the right side when viewed from the parking area S side. Here, the cover material 32 corresponds to a pillar cover that is fitted to the pillar body and covers the groove.

[0017] As shown in Fig. 2, a gutter member 5 is provided below the beam 4 at the top of the column 3. The gutter member 5 is an extruded member with the X direction as the extrusion direction. As shown in Fig. 4, the gutter member 5 is plate-shaped and extends in the vertical direction, and has a fixed wall portion 5a fixed to the column main body 30, a bottom plate portion 5b extending from the lower end of the fixed wall portion 5a towards the parking area S, a vertical wall portion 5c extending upward from the end of the bottom plate portion 5b on the parking area S side, and an upper end extension portion 5d extending from the upper end of the vertical wall portion 5c towards the opposite side from the parking area.

[0018] The fixed wall portion 5a abuts against the tip of the opposing wall portion 30c of the pillar 3, and its upper side is screwed to the rectangular tube portion 30b via a mounting bracket 33 provided in the groove portion 30e. The upper end extension portion 5d faces the roof 2 in the vertical direction at an end of the roof 2 that is spaced apart from the fixed wall portion 5a in the Y direction.

[0019] The upper end extension 5d has a tip end fixing portion 5e that abuts against and is screwed to the underside of the roof 2, and a step portion 5f that is lower than the vertical wall portion 5c on the side of the vertical wall portion 5c of the tip end fixing portion 5e. Therefore, when the upper end extension 5d is screwed to the roof 2, a small gap is created between the roof 2 and the step portion 5f. With the fixed wall portion 5a and the tip end fixing portion 5e screwed in place, the gap between the fixed wall portion 5a and the end of the roof 2 on the side opposite the parking area is open, and the bottom plate portion 5b becomes the bottom, forming a gutter into which water from the roof 2 flows.

[0020] 5, the lighting unit 6 has a lighting member 60 and a lighting arrangement member 61 for attaching the lighting member 60. The lighting member 60 has a lighting body 60a having a light-emitting portion, and a power supply cable 60b connected to the lighting body 60a to supply electricity. The lighting body 60a and the power supply cable 60b are separably connected via a socket (not shown).

[0021] The lighting arrangement member 61 is an extruded member extruding in the X direction. The lighting arrangement member 61 has a lower cover portion 61a as a lower plate portion that faces the bottom plate portion 5b of the horizontal gutter member 5 with a gap in the vertical direction and forms a space R (see FIG. 2) between it and the horizontal gutter member 5, a first extending wall portion 61b that extends upward from the end of the lower cover portion 61a on the side opposite the parking area, a fixing piece 61c that extends from the upper end of the first extending wall portion 61b toward the parking area S and is fixed to the bottom plate portion 5b, a second extending wall portion 61d that extends upward from the end of the lower cover portion 61a on the parking area S side, an engaging portion 61e that is provided at the upper end of the second extending wall portion 61d and engages with the step portion 5f, and a lighting cover portion 61f that connects the lower cover portion 61a and extends toward the parking area S more than the second extending wall portion 61d.

[0022] The lighting body 60a is positioned closer to the parking area S than the second extending wall portion 61d, and one end of the power supply cable 60b is connected to the lighting body 60a on the parking area S side of the second extending wall portion 61d, and the other end is wired on the lower cover portion 61a so as to be inserted into the groove portion 30e covered by the cover material 32 from the opposite parking area side of the first extending wall portion 61b.

[0023] The method of attaching the lighting unit 6 is as follows: first, the power supply cable 60b, which is separated from the lighting main body 60a, is placed on the lower cover portion 61a between the fixing piece 61c, which is open at the top, and the engagement portion 61e. One end of the power supply cable 60b placed on the lower cover portion 61a is passed through an opening (not shown) provided in the second extending wall portion 61d, and the other end is passed through an opening (not shown) provided in the first extending wall portion 61b.

[0024] Next, the engaging portion 61e is inserted into the gap between the roof 2 and the step portion 5f, hooked onto the step portion 5f, the fixing piece 61c is brought into contact with the bottom plate portion 5b, and the fixing piece 61c is screwed to the bottom plate portion 5b from above using a waterproof screw 63 equipped with a sealing material.

[0025] Finally, the lighting body 60a is fixed to the second extending wall portion 61d with the screw 62. At this time, as shown in Fig. 2, the screw 62 is screwed in so that the outer periphery of the threaded portion contacts the bottom of the bottom plate portion 5b. As a result, the parking area S side of the lighting arrangement member 61 equipped with the lighting member 60 is clamped and held by the engaging portion 61e and the screw 62 against the horizontal gutter material 5 without drilling a hole in the horizontal gutter material 5.

[0026] According to the roof structure 1 of this embodiment, the lighting member 60 is placed on the lower cover portion 61a of the lighting arrangement member 61 provided below the gutter material 5, the engaging portion 61e of the lighting arrangement member 61 is inserted between the roof 2 and the step portion 5f of the gutter material 5, and a screw 62 that fixes the lighting body 60a is screwed into the second extending wall portion 61d that faces the vertical wall portion 5c of the gutter material 5, thereby making it possible to place the lighting member 60 between the gutter material 5 and the lighting arrangement member 61 and easily attach it.

[0027] In this case, the power supply cable 60b of the lighting member 60 can be placed from above in the open lower cover portion 61a of the lighting arrangement member 61, which is separated from the gutter material 5, and the gutter material 5 can be clamped and held between the screw 62 and the engaging portion 61e simply by inserting the engaging portion 61e between the roof 2 and the step portion 5f and screwing the screw 62 into the second extending wall portion 61d. This makes it possible to provide a roof structure 1 to which the lighting unit 6 is easy to attach and which is easy to install.

[0028] Furthermore, since the screw 62 is threaded only into the second extending wall portion 61d and not into the gutter material 5, it is possible to hold the portion of the lighting arrangement member 61 on the parking area S side to the gutter material 5 without drilling a screw hole in the gutter-forming gutter material 5. Here, the second extending wall portion 61d corresponds to the opposing plate portion that stands upright from the lower plate portion and faces the end of the gutter material on the opposite side from the pillar.

[0029] Furthermore, the screw 62 that threads into the second extending wall portion 61d is the screw 62 that fixes the lighting body 60a of the lighting member 60 to the second extending wall portion 61d, so that simply by fixing the lighting body 60a to the second extending wall portion 61d, the horizontal gutter material 5 can be clamped between the screw 62 and the engaging portion 61e, thereby holding the lighting arrangement member 61.

[0030] Furthermore, the power supply cable 60b of the lighting member 60 is passed from above the lower cover portion 61a through the groove portion 30e that runs along the vertical direction of the pillar body 30, and the groove portion 30e is covered by the cover material 32 that is fitted to the pillar body 30, so the power supply cable 60b of the lighting member 60 is not exposed to the outside. This makes it possible to provide a roof structure 1 that is also excellent in design.

[0031] In the above embodiment, an example was described in which the lighting body 60a was attached at a position lower than the bottom plate portion 5b of the gutter material 5. However, as shown in Figure 6, if a lighting holding portion 61g extending upward from the second extending wall portion 61d is provided, the lighting body 60a is fixed to the lighting holding portion 61g, and the lighting body 60a is positioned on the parking area S side of the gutter material 5, the distance between the bottom plate portion 5b and the lower cover portion 61a can be narrowed, making the lighting arrangement member 61 smaller and further improving the design.

[0032] 7, the lighting body 60a may be fixed to the second extending wall portion 61d via a fixing member 64 that is separate from the lighting arrangement member 61, without providing the lighting holding portion 61g in the lighting arrangement member 61. In this case, the lighting arrangement member 61 is held by clamping the horizontal gutter material 5 between the screw 62 that fixes the fixing member 64 to the second extending wall portion 61d and the engagement portion 61e.

[0033] The above-described embodiments are provided to facilitate understanding of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
