Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0017] FIG. 2A shows an example of the configuration of the mounting device of the present invention as viewed from a certain angle. FIG. 2B is a view of the mounting device shown in FIG. 2A as viewed from another angle.

[0018] The mounting device 20 of the present invention is for attaching a member to be attached to the roof base. The roof base includes, for example, but is not limited to, a folded plate roof. The member to be attached includes, for example, but is not limited to, a hanger, a combination of a hanger and a folded plate roof fixed on the hanger. The mounting device 20 includes a main body 200 configured to be fixed to the roof base, a resin member 210 disposed on the main body 200, and a rigid member 220 housed in the resin member 210.

[0019] The main body 200 has a hole 201 for inserting a fixing member. The hole 201 can have any shape as long as the fixing member can be inserted therethrough. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the main body 200 is composed of a pair of clamping members that can be fixed to the roof base by clamping the roof base (particularly, the ridge portion of the roof base). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The main body 200 can have any configuration as long as it is configured to be fixed to the roof base. That is, a main body 200 in which a pair of clamping members are integrally formed as one member is also included within the scope of the present invention.

[0020] The resin member 210 is positioned between the member to be mounted and the main body 200 when the member to be mounted is fixed to the mounting device 20. In the embodiments shown in Figures 2A and 2B, the resin member 210 includes a projection 211 that functions to engage with the rigid member 220 and a hole 212 for inserting the fixing member. The hole 212 has a shape that allows for the insertion of the fixing member and accommodates the rigid member 220. In the embodiments shown in Figures 2A and 2B, the hole 212 is provided in the projection 211. In the embodiments shown in Figures 2A and 2B, the resin member 210 may be a member having thermal insulation properties, for example, to prevent heat (e.g., heat from solar radiation) from being transferred from the member to be mounted to the roof substrate. Therefore, the mounting device 20 can function, for example, as a thermal insulation fitting. The resin member 210 may be made of, for example, synthetic resin, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0021] The rigid member 220 is intended to absorb at least some of the stress (applied from the member to be mounted to the rigid member 220) that occurs when the member to be mounted is placed on the rigid member 220 and fixed to the mounting device 20. The rigid member 220 is harder than the resin member 210. In the embodiments shown in Figures 2A and 2B, the rigid member 220 is housed in the hole 212 of the resin member 210 (particularly when inserted into the hole 212 of the resin member 210). In the embodiments shown in Figures 2A and 2B, the upper surface of the rigid member 220 may be substantially flush with the upper surface of the projection 211, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0022] Figure 3 shows the configuration of the rigid member 220 of the mounting fixture 20 shown in Figures 2A and 2B. Specifically, Figure 3a is a plan view of the rigid member 220, and Figure 3b is a bottom view of the rigid member 220.

[0023] In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the rigid member 220 has a U-shape (i.e., a columnar shape with the upper and lower surfaces molded in a U-shape). The rigid member 220 can be made of any material, as long as it is harder than the resin member 210. The rigid member 220 may be made of metal, ceramic, etc., but the present invention is not limited to these. The rigid member 220 may have one or more protrusions and / or recesses to prevent misalignment when it is housed in the hole 212 of the resin member 210. In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the rigid member 220 has two protrusions 221 projecting outward from the outer surface and two recesses 222 on the inner surface to prevent misalignment when it is housed in the hole 212 of the resin member 210. In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the two protrusions 221 are molded to correspond to the two recesses 222, but the present invention is not limited to this. The positions of the two protrusions 221 may be independent of the positions of the two recesses 222. Furthermore, although the embodiment shown in Figure 3 shows two protrusions 221 and two recesses 222, the present invention is not limited thereto. The number of protrusions 21 and recesses 222 may be any number of one or more.

[0024] Although the embodiment shown in Figure 3 describes a rigid member 220 having a U-shape, the present invention is not limited thereto. The rigid member 220 may, for example, have a square shape (i.e., a rectangular cylindrical shape in which the upper and lower surfaces are formed in a square shape).

[0025] Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view showing the mounting fixture 20 in use.

[0026] The mounting fixture 20 further includes a fixing member 230 that penetrates the main body 200 and the resin member 210 and is inserted through a hole 212 in the resin member 210 (and a hole 201 in the main body 200). In the embodiment shown in Figure 4, a rigid member 220 is housed in the hole 212 of the resin member 210 of the mounting fixture 20, and a hanger 300 is positioned on the rigid member 220 and the resin member 210 (particularly on the protrusion 211 of the resin member 210), and a nut from above the hanger 300 cooperates with the fixing member 230 to fix the hanger, the resin member 210 and the main body 200 to each other. If the rigid member 220 has one or more protrusions 221, the rigid member 220 can be housed in the hole 212 of the resin member 210 from the bottom side of the resin member 210 (i.e., the side in contact with the main body 200), as shown in Figure 4. If the rigid member 220 does not have one or more protrusions 221, the rigid member 220 can also be housed in the hole 212 of the resin member 210 from the planar side of the resin member 210 (i.e., the side in contact with the hanger 300). In the embodiment shown in Figure 4, the hanger 300 is configured to slide longitudinally in response to the thermal expansion and contraction of the roof panel (e.g., a corrugated metal roof) placed thereon, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0027] The fixing member 230 has a length that allows it to extend through the member to be attached (e.g., the hanger 300) which is placed on the resin member 210. In the embodiment shown in Figure 4, the fixing member 230 is a welded bolt welded around the main body 200 (particularly the hole 201 in the main body 200). This allows for stable fixing when the hanger, resin member 210, and main body 200 are secured to each other by tightening a nut from above the hanger 300, because the welded bolt is integrated with the main body 200. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The fixing member 230 may be, for example, a hexagonal bolt or a crimping bolt. If the fixing member 230 is a hexagonal bolt, the hexagonal bolt may be welded to the main body 200.

[0028] The applicant implemented the mounting fixture 10 shown in Figure 1 with the nut 120 removed. However, in the mounting fixture 10 without the nut 120, the resin member 110 absorbs all the stress (applied from the member to be mounted) that occurs when the member to be mounted is placed on the resin member 110 and fixed to the mounting fixture 10. As a result, due to the elasticity of the resin member 110, it is not possible to maintain the torque of the nut that tightens from above the hanger in cooperation with the fixing member to fix the hanger to the mounting fixture 10. Therefore, the fixing of the hanger loosens, and the fixing of the hanger on the mounting fixture 10 becomes unstable. Furthermore, there is a possibility that the resin member 110 may be damaged because it absorbs all the stress that occurs when the member to be mounted is placed on the resin member 110 and fixed to the mounting fixture 10. According to the mounting fixture 20 of the present invention, when the member to be mounted is placed on the resin member 210 and the rigid member 220 and fixed to the mounting fixture 20, the rigid member 220 receives at least a portion of the stress applied from the member to be mounted, thereby maintaining the torque of the nut that tightens from above the hanger 300 in cooperation with the fixing member 230 to fix the hanger 300 to the mounting fixture 20, and thus it is possible to stabilize the fixing of the hanger 300 on the mounting fixture 20. Furthermore, by the rigid member 220 receiving at least a portion of the stress applied from the member to be mounted, it is also possible to reduce damage to the resin member 210 (especially the protruding portion 211 of the resin member 210). In addition, when the member to be mounted is placed on the resin member 110 and the rigid member 220 and fixed to the mounting fixture 20, the resin member 210 adjacent to the rigid member 220 (especially the protruding portion 211 of the resin member 210) acts to maintain the member to be mounted in a substantially horizontal position, thereby increasing the stability of the member to be mounted. In this way, the combination of the resin member 210 and the rigid member 220 of the mounting fixture 20 makes it possible to stabilize the fixing of the member to be mounted to the mounting fixture 20.

[0029] Figure 5A shows another example of the configuration of the mounting device of the present invention viewed from a certain angle. Figure 5B is a view of the mounting device shown in Figure 5A from a different angle. Figure 6 shows the configuration of the rigid member 220' of the mounting device 20' shown in Figures 5A and 5B. Specifically, Figure 6a is a plan view of the rigid member 220', and Figure 6b is a bottom view of the rigid member 220'.

[0030] The mounting device 20' of the present invention, like the mounting device 20, is for attaching a member to be mounted to a roof substrate. The mounting device 20' comprises a main body 200 configured to be fixed to the roof substrate, a resin member 210' disposed on the main body 200, and a rigid member 220' housed within the resin member 210'. The main body 200 of the mounting device 20' has the same configuration as the main body 200 of the mounting device 20, so a detailed description thereof is omitted here.

[0031] Since the resin member 210' may have a similar configuration to the resin member 210 shown in Figures 2A and 2B, only the differences from the resin member 210 will be described below. In the embodiments shown in Figures 5A and 5B, the resin member 210' includes a projection 211' that functions to fit with the rigid member 220' and a hole 212' for inserting a fixing member. The hole 212' has a substantially circular shape that allows for the insertion of a fixing member and accommodates the rigid member 220'.

[0032] Since the rigid member 220' may have a similar configuration to the rigid member 220 shown in Figures 2A and 2B, only the differences from the rigid member 220 will be described below. In the embodiment shown in Figure 6, the rigid member 220' has a cylindrical shape (i.e., a circular tubular shape with a circular top and bottom surface). The rigid member 220 may have one or more protrusions and / or recesses to prevent misalignment when it is housed in the hole 212' of the resin member 210. In the embodiment shown in Figure 6, the rigid member 220' has two protrusions 221' projecting outward from the outer surface and two recesses 222' on the inner surface to prevent misalignment when it is housed in the hole 212' of the resin member 210'.

[0033] Although the embodiment shown in Figure 6 describes a rigid member 220' having a cylindrical shape, the present invention is not limited thereto. The rigid member 220' may, for example, have a semi-cylindrical shape (i.e., a columnar shape in which the upper and lower surfaces are formed into approximately semicircular shapes). Furthermore, since processing circular shapes (e.g., press working) is more difficult than processing rectangular shapes (e.g., press working), the rigid member 220 in Figure 3 can be manufactured more easily than the rigid member 220' in Figure 6.

[0034] Figure 7 shows an example of the roof structure of the present invention. The roof structure of the present invention is applicable to buildings.

[0035] The roof structure of the present invention comprises a roof base, mounting fixtures, and a member to be mounted to the roof base via the mounting fixtures. The roof base may be, for example, a lower corrugated metal roof, or a combination of a lower corrugated metal roof, a first hanger, and a tight frame. The member to be mounted may be, for example, a second hanger, or a combination of a second hanger and an upper corrugated metal roof.

[0036] In the embodiment shown in Figure 7, the mounting fixture for the roof structure of the present invention is the mounting fixture 20 described with reference to Figures 2A to 2B, or the mounting fixture 20' described with reference to Figures 5A to 5B, and the mounting fixture is positioned on the lower corrugated roof and below the upper corrugated roof and the second hanger.

[0037] As described above, the present invention has been illustrated using preferred embodiments, but the present invention should not be construed as being limited to these embodiments. It should be understood that the scope of the present invention should be interpreted solely by the claims. Those skilled in the art will understand that, based on the description of the specific preferred embodiments of the present invention and common technical knowledge, an equivalent scope can be implemented.
