AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing panel structural members in outdoor structures, such as building eaves, require improvements in workability due to complex fitting mechanisms that hinder efficient assembly and alignment.

Method used

The panel components feature first and second fitting projections and grooves that allow for restricted movement in specific directions, combined with a mounting structure using connecting members and fasteners, enabling easy assembly and alignment without the need for extensive on-site adjustments.

Benefits of technology

This configuration enhances workability by reducing the number of required screws, allowing sequential fitting, minimizing misalignment, and improving structural strength while preventing water leakage through strategic gutter positioning.

Abstract

To provide a panel component and a mounting structure for the panel component that can improve the workability of the panel component that constitutes the panel material in outdoor structures. [Solution] The panel component 30 has a solid structure and has a first fitting projection 32 and a second fitting projection 33 at both ends of the first arm piece 31, and a first fitting groove 42 and a second fitting groove 43 at both ends of the second arm piece 41 that intersects the first arm piece 31. When the first fitting projection 32 and the second fitting groove 43 are fitted with the first fitting groove 42 and the second fitting groove 43 of the other panel component 30, and the second fitting groove 43 is fastened to the second fitting projection 33 with a screw 7, the longitudinal and vertical and horizontal movement of the panel component 30 is restricted.
