[0010] In addition, in this respect, although not limited thereto, it is preferable that the hook portion has a flat portion in which a hole is formed.

[0011] In addition, in this respect, although not limited thereto, it is preferable to have an inserting member that has an inserting portion that is inserted into the hole of the hook portion and a protruding portion that protrudes from the hole.

[0012] In addition, in this respect, although not limited thereto, it is preferable that the connecting portion has a linear side portion, and that a recess is formed in the side portion.

[0013] Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method for fixing plate materials using a construction auxiliary tool having a main body member with a hooking portion, a plate material support portion, and a connecting portion that connects the hooking portion and the plate material support portion, and includes the steps of hooking the hooking portion of the construction auxiliary tool onto the top of one of the supports, aligning the lower position of the plate material with the upper surface of the plate material support portion and marking it, moving the construction auxiliary tool to the other support portion and supporting the other end of the plate material on the plate material support portion, aligning the plate material with the marking position on the first support portion and screwing it in place, and screwing the plate material to the support portion supported by the construction auxiliary tool.

[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the specific examples in the following embodiments.

[0017] (Embodiment 1) Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a construction auxiliary tool (hereinafter referred to as "this tool") 1a according to this embodiment, Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an outline of a main body member 2 of this tool 1a, and Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an outline of an insertion member 3 in this tool 1a. As shown in the diagram, this tool 1a includes a main body member 2 having a hook portion 21, a plate material support portion 22, and a connection portion 23 that connects the hook portion 21 and the plate material support portion 22.

[0018] By using this tool 1a, it is possible to provide a construction aid that allows even a small number of people (for example, one person) to easily assemble a fence or the like, and a method for fastening boards using the same. The specific structure and method will be described in detail below.

[0019] As described above, the main body member 2 in this tool 1a is constructed as a single unit and is capable of supporting the plate material P, so it is important that it has sufficient strength to withstand the weight of the plate material P. Although not limited to this, it is preferable that the main body member 2 be made of metal, but it may also be made of resin or wood.

[0020] First, hook portion 21 of main body member 2 of tool 1a is a part of main body member 2 of tool 1a, and is a member for hanging and suspending the entire tool 1a. By hooking hook portion 21 onto a fence member to be installed, for example, the top of post C, it is possible to hang connection portion 23 and plate support portion 22. Furthermore, by installing hook portion 21 on the top of post C, there is an effect that the position of plate support portion 22 can be automatically determined from the top of post C.

[0021] The hook portion 21 preferably has a flat portion 211 so that it can be stably hooked onto another member.

[0022] Furthermore, the plate material support portion 22 of the main body member 2 in this tool 1a is a part of the main body member 2 connected by the connection portion 23, as described above, and is a member used to support the plate material P.

[0023] Furthermore, the structure of the plate support portion 22 of the main body member 2 of the tool 1a is not limited to a specific one, but preferably includes a flat portion 221. Providing the flat portion 221 allows the plate P to be stably placed on this flat portion 221. The surface of this flat portion 221 can be adjusted as needed depending on the shape of the plate P of the fence to be supported, but it is preferable that it be approximately parallel to the surface of the flat portion 211 of the hook portion 21 of the main body member 2. Making it approximately parallel has the advantage of making it easier to fix the orientation and inclination of the support C and the plate P. Figure 4 shows an image of the hook portion 21 of the main body member 2 of the tool 1a when hooked onto a support C, which is another member.

[0024] Furthermore, in the plate material support portion 22 of the main body member 2 of this tool 1a, a hole 222 is formed, preferably in the flat portion 221. This point will become clear in relation to the insertion member 3 described below, but by inserting the insertion member 3 into this hole 222, the plate material P will not be significantly displaced, which has the advantage of reducing the risk of the plate material P falling off this plate material support portion 22. This is illustrated in Figure 5, which is a schematic diagram of the case where the plate material P is supported using this tool 1a and the insertion member 3.

[0025] Furthermore, the connecting portion 23 of the main body member 2 of the tool 1a connects the hooking portion 21 and the plate material supporting portion 22. This has the advantage that the distance between the hooking portion 21 and the plate material supporting portion 22 can be kept constant.

[0026] Furthermore, it is preferable that the connecting portion 23 of the main body member 2 of the tool 1a is provided with a straight portion 231. By providing the straight portion 231, when the hook portion 21 is hooked onto another member, for example, the top of the support C, the straight portion 231 can be brought into contact with the side of the support C, thereby preventing the entire tool 1a from rotating around the axis of the support C and becoming unstable. This situation is illustrated in FIG. 4 above. Note that the straight portion 231 may be a flat portion, specifically a portion that forms a flat surface. Making it flat allows for more reliable and stable contact with another member, such as the support C.

[0027] Furthermore, in this tool 1a, it is preferable that the hook portion 21 and the plate material support portion 22 of the main body member 2 are twisted (not overlapping) when viewed from the extension direction of the connection portion 23. More specifically, it is preferable that the extension direction of the hook portion 21 and the extension direction of the plate material support portion 22 are arranged in a direction that is approximately perpendicular when viewed from the extension axis of the connection portion 23. An image of this configuration is shown in FIG. 6. This has the advantage that when the hook portion 21 is hooked onto the top of the support C, the tool 1a does not get in the way of installing the plate material P, even when supporting the plate material P. Here, "approximately perpendicular" is a concept that includes perfect perpendicularity, but also allows for some tolerance for unavoidable manufacturing errors, such as an error of about 10 degrees.

[0028] Furthermore, in addition to the main body member 2, the tool 1a preferably has an insertion member 3 including an insertion portion 31 inserted into the hole 222 of the plate material support portion 22, a protruding portion 32 protruding from the hole 222, and a drop prevention portion 33. By inserting the insertion member 3 into the hole 222 of the plate material support portion 22 of the main body member 2, the plate material P is sandwiched between the connection portion 23 and the insertion member 3, and the plate material P can be prevented from falling off.

[0029] As is clear from the above description, the insertion member 3 has an insertion portion 31 and a protruding portion 32. That is, the provision of the insertion portion 31 allows the insertion member 3 to be inserted into the hole 222, while the provision of the drop prevention portion 33 on the protruding portion 32 prevents the insertion member 3 from falling out of the hole 222. The specific configuration of the protruding portion 32 is not limited, but can be realized simply by providing the drop prevention portion 33 with a diameter larger than the insertion portion 31 and the hole 222. Note that Figure 7 shows an image diagram of the insertion relationship between the main body member 2 and the insertion member 3.

[0030] (Method of fixing plate material) Here, we will explain the method for fixing plate materials using this tool 1a (hereinafter referred to as "this method"). This method is a method for fixing plate materials using a construction auxiliary tool 1a having a hooking portion 21, a plate material support portion 22, and a connecting portion 23 that connects the hooking portion 21 and the plate material support portion 22, and includes the steps of: (S1-1) hooking the hooking portion 21 of the construction auxiliary tool 1a onto the top of one of the supports C, (S1-2) aligning the lower position of the plate material P with the upper surface of the plate material support portion 22 and marking it, (S1-3) moving the construction auxiliary tool 1a to the other support C and supporting the other end of the plate material P on the plate material support portion 22, (S1-4) aligning the plate material P with the marking position of the first support C and screwing it in, and (S1-5) screwing the plate material P to the support C supported by the construction auxiliary tool 1a.

[0031] First, this method includes the step (S1-1) of hooking the hook portion 21 of the construction support tool 1a onto the top of one of the supports C. It also includes the step (S1-2) of aligning and marking the lower position of the plate material P with the upper surface of the plate material support portion 22. The image after this step is as shown in Figure 4 above.

[0032] As described above, this method also includes the step (S1-3) of moving the construction support tool 1a to the other support column C and having the plate material support part 22 support the other end of the plate material P. The image after this step is as shown in Figure 5. Note that, according to this step, one end of the plate material P can be supported by this tool 1a, but the other end is not supported by this tool 1a.

[0033] In this case, this step preferably includes (S1-2-1) a step of placing the plate material P on the plate material support part 22, and (S1-2-2) a step of inserting and installing the insertion member 3 into the hole 222 of the plate material support part 22. This makes it difficult for the plate material P to fall off from the plate material support part 22. Note that the order of steps (S1-2-1) and (S1-2-2) may be reversed.

[0034] This method also includes a step (S1-4) of aligning the plate P with the marking position of the first support C and screwing it in place. This allows the plate P to be fixed to the support C with a small number of people, or even just one person in the best case. One end of the plate P can be easily screwed in place because the other end has already been screwed in place. A process image of this step is shown in Figure 8.

[0035] This method may further include a step (S1-6) of removing the construction auxiliary tool 1a from the support C. In particular, if flat portions are provided on the hook portion 21 and the connection portion 23 of the main body member 2, the main body member 2 can be pulled out without getting caught. An image of this case is shown in Figure 9.

[0036] As described above, it is possible to provide a construction aid that allows a small number of people, even one person, to easily assemble a fence or the like, and a method for fastening boards using the same.

[0037] (Embodiment 2) The construction auxiliary tool 1b according to this embodiment (hereinafter referred to as "this tool") is almost the same as that of the first embodiment, but the structure of the hook portion 21 is slightly different. This tool 1b will be described below, but a description of the similar structure will be omitted.

[0038] A schematic perspective view of the present tool 1b is shown in FIG. 10. The present tool 1b is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, except for the relative position (extension direction) between the flat portion 211 of the hook portion 21 and the flat portion 221 of the plate support portion 22. Specifically, the hook portion 21 and the plate support portion 22 of the main body member 2 are preferably overlapping when viewed from the extension direction of the connecting portion 23. More specifically, it is preferable that the extension directions of the hook portion 21 and the plate support portion 22 are substantially parallel when viewed from the extension axis of the connecting portion 23. An illustration of this case is shown in FIG. 11. This is because, in the first embodiment, the plate P can be installed based on the top of the support C, whereas the fence requires multiple plate materials to be installed with equal spacing between them. Therefore, plate materials P other than the topmost plate material P must be secured at a certain distance from the plate material P above. Therefore, by orienting the hooking portion 21 and the plate material support portion 22 in the same direction, the position of the lower plate material P can be reliably set by hooking the hooking portion 21 onto the upper plate material P. An image of this case is shown in FIG. 12. That is, in the above-mentioned first embodiment, the hooking portion 21 is assumed to be installed on the top of the support C, but in this embodiment, the hooking portion 21 is assumed to be hooked onto the upper plate material P. Note that here, "substantially parallel" is a concept that includes perfect parallelism, but also allows for some degree of error, including unavoidable manufacturing errors, and includes an error of, for example, about 10 degrees.

[0039] Furthermore, it is preferable that a hole 232 be formed in the connection portion 23 of the main body member 2 of this tool 1b. The hole 232 can function as a ruler for determining a reference position for screwing, etc. When fastening a plate P to a support C in a fence, screwing is required, and it is preferable that the screwing positions (the positions where the screws are driven) are aligned in common for multiple plate materials P. Specifically, since the connection portion 23 and the hook portion 21 or plate material support portion 22 are fixed in position, the position of the hole 232 can be uniquely determined by installing the hook portion 21 or plate material support portion 22 on the plate material P and aligning it with the edge of the plate material P. Marking this determined position has the advantage of temporarily determining the hole position and neatly aligning the screw position relative to the support C. The number of holes is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that there be two or more.

[0040] (Method of fixing plate material) Next, a plate fixing method using the present tool 1b (hereinafter referred to as "the present method") will be described. This method is substantially the same as the above-described embodiment 1, but is based on the premise that the upper plate P has already been fixed to the support C. Specifically, the present method is a plate fixing method using the present tool 1b, which has a hooking portion 21, a plate support portion 22, and a connecting portion 23 that connects the hooking portion 21 and the plate support portion 22, and an insertion member 3, and includes the steps of (S2-1) hooking the hooking portion 21 of the construction support tool 1b onto the upper plate P, (S2-2) supporting one end of the lower plate P on the plate support portion 22 of the construction support tool 1b, and (S2-3) screwing the plate P to the support C. An image of these steps is shown in FIG. 13.

[0041] In this case, the steps preferably include (S2-1-1) the step of hooking the plate material P onto the hook portion 21, (S2-1-2) the step of inserting and installing the insertion member 3 into the hole 212 of the hook portion 21, (S2-2-1) the step of arranging the plate material P on the plate material support portion 22, and (S2-2-2) the step of inserting and installing the insertion member 3 into the hole 222 of the plate material support portion 22. This makes it difficult for the plate material P to fall off. Note that the order of the steps (S2-1-1), (S2-1-2), (S2-2-1), and (S2-2-2) may be reversed.

[0042] This method may further include a step (S2-4) of removing the construction auxiliary tool 1b from the plate material P. In particular, if flat portions are provided on the hook portion 21 and the connection portion 23 of the main body member 2, the main body member 2 can be pulled out without getting caught. An image of this case is shown in Figure 14.

[0043] As described above, it is possible to provide a construction aid and a method for fastening plate materials that can be used to easily assemble a fence or the like, even by a small number of people, or optimally even by one person. [Industrial Applicability]
