[0007] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figures 1 to 10 show one embodiment of a structure of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, this structure is installed along an exterior wall 9 in the garden of a house or the like, and includes a deck 7 and a terrace enclosure 8. The exterior wall 9 is provided with a terrace window (not shown) through which people can exit onto the deck 7. The terrace enclosure 8 is installed with a gap between it and the exterior wall 9, and the gap is sealed with sealing material 10 (see Figure 7).

[0008] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the deck 7 is made up of a plurality of joists 11, 11, ... supported by posts 12 and installed in the left-right direction at intervals in the front-to-back direction, flooring materials (panels) 1, 1, ... attached in a row in the left-to-right direction on the joists 11, 11, ..., and a fascia board 13 attached to the edges on three sides except for the outer wall 9 side, and the fascia board 13 hides the end faces and sides of the flooring materials 1, 1, ... and the end faces and sides of the joists 11, 11, ... The flooring materials 1 are made by extrusion molding synthetic resin mixed with wood powder, and are formed into hollow plate shapes as shown in Figure 6. Each flooring material 1 is fixed to a joist 11 with metal fittings (not shown) provided in the gaps between the flooring materials 1.

[0009] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the terrace enclosure 8 is an independent structure that includes four pillars (structural members) 2a, 2b erected on a foundation 14 at intervals in the front-to-back and left-to-right directions, and a roof 15 supported by the pillars 2a, 2b. Doors and fittings 16 such as folding doors are installed in the openings between the left and right pillars 2a, 2a at the front, and between the front and rear pillars 2a, 2b on the left and right. As shown in Figures 2 and 8, an internal floor material 17 is provided inside the terrace enclosure 8 at a position one step higher than the floor material 1. The outermost side edge of the internal floor material 17 is covered with an end cover 18.

[0010] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the front pillar 2a is provided with a U-shaped notch 26 in the adjacent floor material 1,1, and is provided so as to penetrate the notch 26. A cover 3 is attached around the pillar 2a to cover the notch 26 in the floor material 1,1 and hide the gap between the floor material 1,1 and the pillar 2a. To explain in more detail, as shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, a floor support bracket 19 that supports the underside of the floor material 1 is attached to the front pillar 2a, and above that, supports 6, 6 for the cover 3 are attached so as to surround the periphery of the pillar 2a. As shown in Figure 5, the supports 6, 6 are divided into two parts, left and right, and are formed in a U-shape when viewed from above. They have multiple pillar abutment parts 20 that abut against the periphery of the pillar 2a, and the pillar abutment parts 20 abut against the periphery of the pillar 2a and are screwed in place with screws 21 from the front and rear directions, thereby forming a predetermined gap 22 between them and the pillar 2a, as shown in Figure 6.

[0011] The cover 3 is made of a thin stainless steel plate with a thickness of 0.5 mm, and as shown in Figures 3, 4, and 6, is divided into two parts 3a and 3b at the center in the front-to-rear direction, which are U-shaped in plan view. Each part 3a, 3b of the cover 3 has an elastic piece 5 that is inserted into the gap 22 between the pillar 2a and the support 6, 6 at the front, rear and side of the pillar 2a, and each elastic piece 5 has a bent portion 23 that has a dogleg-shaped cross section and protrudes outward (see Figures 3, 4 and 6). As shown in Fig. 6, the parts 3a and 3b of the cover 3 are attached by placing them against the pillar 2a from the front and back, and inserting each elastic piece 5 from above into the gap 22 between the pillar 2a and the receivers 6, 6. When inserted, the L-shaped bent portion 23 of the elastic piece 5 elastically deforms and presses against the inner surface 6a (contact portion) of the receivers 6, 6 (see Fig. 4), thereby holding the cover 3 so that it does not come off.

[0012] In this way, this structure can easily attach the cover 3 by simply inserting the elastic pieces 5 formed on the cover 3 into the gap 22 between the pillar 2a and the support 6 from above, thereby improving workability. Also, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the width of the cover 3 that protrudes around the pillar 2a is small and the thickness is extremely thin, so the cover 3 can be made inconspicuous. The cover 3 can be attached by abutting the elastic piece 5 against the notch 26 in the floor material 1, but by attaching the cover 3 by abutting the elastic piece 5 against the support 6 provided around the pillar 2a as in this embodiment, the cover 3 can be attached stably and without rattling even if there is an error in the size of the notch 26 or the attachment position of the floor material 1.

[0013] As shown in Figure 7, the rear part of the flooring 1,1 has a notch 27 formed in an L-shape in plan view that reaches the rear end of the flooring 1,1 to allow the rear pillar 2b to pass through, and one cover 4 that is L-shaped in plan view is attached to cover the notch 27 of the flooring 1 that protrudes outside the terrace enclosure 8. The notch 27 of the flooring 1 that is provided inside the terrace enclosure 8 is hidden by an end cover 18, as shown in Figures 7 and 8.

[0014] As shown in Figures 7, 8 and 9, the rear pillar 2b is fitted with a floor material support bracket 19 that supports the underside of the floor materials 1,1, a joist support bracket 28 that supports the joists 11, and an end cover support 24 that supports the end cover 18, and a support 6 for the cover 4 is fitted above the floor material support bracket 19 so as to surround the outer half of the pillar 2b.

[0015] The cover 4, as described above, is formed from a thin stainless steel plate with a thickness of 0.5 mm, and as shown in Figures 7 and 10, is formed in an L-shape in a plan view with a portion 25a extending in the left-right direction and a portion 25b extending in the front-to-back direction, and the portion 25b extending in the front-to-back direction extends to the rear end of the flooring material 1. The cover 4 has elastic pieces 5 formed on the inner peripheral edges of the portion 25a extending in the left-right direction and the portion 25b extending in the front-rear direction, and each elastic piece 5 is attached by inserting it from above into the gap 22 between the post 2b and the receiver 6. When inserted, the V-shaped bent portion 23 of the elastic piece 5 elastically deforms and presses against the inner surface 6a (contact portion) of the receiver 6 (see Figure 8), thereby holding the cover 4 in place so that it does not come off.

[0016] In this way, the cover 4 attached around the rear pillar 2b can be easily attached by simply inserting the elastic piece 5 from above into the gap 22 between the pillar 2b and the support 6, just like the cover 3 attached around the front pillar 2a, improving workability. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, the width of the cover 4 that protrudes around the pillar 2b is small and the thickness is extremely thin, so the cover 4 can be made inconspicuous.

[0017] As described above, this structure comprises panels (floor materials) 1,1, structural materials (pillars) 2a, 2b, and covers 3, 4. The panels 1,1 have holes or cutouts 26, 27 through which the structural materials 2a, 2b pass. The covers 3, 4 cover the holes or cutouts 26, 27 of the panels 1,1 to conceal the gaps between the panels 1,1 and the structural materials 2a, 2b. They have elastic pieces 5 that are inserted into the gaps between the holes or cutouts 26, 27 of the panels 1,1 and the structural materials 2a, 2b, and the elastic pieces 5 are held in place by pressing them against the abutment portions 6a (the inner surfaces of the receivers 6) located in the gaps between the holes or cutouts 26, 27 of the panels 1,1 and the structural materials 2a, 2b (see Figures 4 and 8). Therefore, the covers 3, 4 that conceal the gaps between the holes or cutouts 26, 27 of the panels 1,1 and the structural materials 2a, 2b can be easily attached, improving workability. Moreover, the covers 3 and 4 can be made smaller so that they are less noticeable.

[0018] This structure comprises panels (floor materials) 1,1, structural materials (pillars) 2a, 2b, supports 6, and covers 3, 4. The panels 1,1 have holes or cutouts 26, 27 through which the structural materials 2a, 2b pass. The supports 6 are provided around the structural materials 2a, 2b in the gaps between the holes or cutouts 26, 27 in the panels 1,1 and the structural materials 2a, 2b. The covers 3, 4 cover the holes or cutouts 26, 27 in the panels 1,1 to conceal the gaps between the panels 1,1 and the structural materials 2a, 2b. They have elastic pieces 5 that are inserted into the gaps 22 between the supports 6 and the structural materials 2a, 2b, and are held in place by pressing the elastic pieces 5 against the supports 6 (see Figures 4 and 8). This makes it easy to attach the covers 3, 4 that conceal the gaps between the holes or cutouts 26, 27 in the panels 1,1 and the structural materials 2a, 2b, improving workability. Moreover, the covers 3, 4 can be made smaller to make them less noticeable. Furthermore, by pressing the elastic pieces 5 of the covers 3, 4 against the receivers 6, the covers 3, 4 can be attached stably and without rattle even if there is an error in the size of the notches 26, 27 of the panels 1, 1.

[0019] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. The materials and shapes of the panel, structural material, and cover can be changed as appropriate. A hole may be formed in the panel, and the structural material may pass through the hole. The cover may be made of resin. The present invention is not limited to structures in which columns penetrate floors, but may also be, for example, structures in which columns (structural materials) penetrate ceilings (panels), structures in which girders (structural materials) penetrate walls (panels), etc. The present invention is not limited to decks and terrace enclosures, but can be applied to any structure that has panels and structural materials, such as carports and walkway shelters.
