Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a sunshade mounting structure for a building.

Background Art

[0002] For buildings such as houses, for example, in order to block strong sunlight in summer, a sunshade member (sunshade sheet) such as a tarp is attached (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] Currently, it is common for buildings not to have a structure for attaching a sunshade member (sunshade mounting structure). Also, basically, the sunshade member is to be arbitrarily attached by the occupant to a building (without a sunshade mounting structure). In this case, the occupant, for example, attaches a commercially available hook for attaching a sunshade to the outer wall of the building with an adhesive or double-sided tape, and ties the sunshade member to the attached hook with a string or the like.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] For example, when a hook for attaching a sunshade or the like is attached to the outer wall of a building with an adhesive or double-sided tape, the hook is attached to the outer wall only by the adhesive force of the adhesive or the adhesive strength of the double-sided tape, so the attachment force is not sufficient. Therefore, for example, when a strong force such as strong wind acts on the sunshade member, the hook may be pulled by the sunshade member and the adhesive part may come off the outer wall.

[0006] Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to contribute to the improvement of the above problems.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] In response to the above problems, the present invention provides: A building sunshade mounting structure that installs a tarp ring for sunshade mounting on the upper part of the building's exterior wall panel, The exterior wall panels are attached to the columns or studs of the building. The tarp ring is characterized by being fixed to the columns or studs of the building through the exterior wall panels. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The present invention, with the above configuration, makes it possible to firmly attach tarp rings to buildings, etc. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

Embodiment for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] This embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 23.

Example

[0011] <Configuration>This example has the following configuration.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the configuration of each floor of a building 一, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are views of each floor of the building 一 seen from the side. And, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the building 一 is made to be able to install a sunshade member 2. For this purpose, the building 一 is made to include a sunshade mounting structure 3 as shown in FIG. 4.

[0013] (1a) The sunshade mounting structure 3 of this building 一 is such that a tarpaulin 5 for mounting the sunshade member 2 can be installed on the upper part of the outer wall panel 4 of the building 一.

[0014] Here, the sunshade mounting structure 3 of the building 一 is a structure for easily installing the sunshade member 2 on the building 一, and is provided as equipment in the building 一. For the building 一, the sunshade member 2 is mainly installed in the southern and western parts. Therefore, the sunshade mounting structure 3 is provided at least on the outer wall panels 4 on the southern and western sides of the building 一. Note that the sunshade member 2 is, for example, arbitrarily installed on the building 一 by the occupant. Therefore, even if the building 一 has the sunshade mounting structure 3, if the occupant does not desire it, the sunshade member 2 does not need to be installed.

[0015] Building 1 is primarily a habitable building, such as a detached house or an apartment building. Building 1 can be a single-story building, a two-story building, a three-story building, or a multi-story building with more than two floors. Sunshade components 2 are installed as appropriate on each floor of Building 1 and in each room on each floor. Building 1 can be made of any structure, such as wood, reinforced concrete, or steel frame, but in this example, it is a modular building.

[0016] A modular building is a building 1 that can be constructed in a short period of time by transporting pre-manufactured, nearly rectangular building units 6 from a factory to the construction site and assembling them there. As shown in Figure 5, the building unit 6 has a hexahedral shape with four sides, a top surface, and a bottom surface. Multiple building units 6 are arranged side by side or stacked on top of each other to form the building 1.

[0017] The building unit 6 has a box-frame structure unit frame inside, which forms the skeletal structure. The unit frame has four metal columns 15, four metal horizontal ceiling beams 16, and four metal horizontal floor beams 17. The four columns 15 are connected at their upper ends in a rectangular shape by the four ceiling beams 16. The four columns 15 are connected at their lower ends in a rectangular shape by the four floor beams 17. The directions indicated by arrows in the figure are the long side direction X, the short side direction Y, and the vertical direction Z of the building unit 6, which are three orthogonal directions. The long side direction X and the short side direction Y are both horizontal.

[0018] For example, hollow square steel pipes are used for the columns 15. For example, inwardly curved C-shaped steel sections are used for the ceiling beams 16 and floor beams 17.

[0019] The exterior wall panels 4 are panels that make up the exterior wall of building 1, and multiple panels are installed side by side along the outer perimeter of building 1. The exterior wall panels 4 are mainly rectangular, flat, plate-like panels (standard size) formed to standard dimensions. In the case of a modular building, the exterior wall panels 4 are pre-installed at the factory on the side of the building unit 6 that will be the outdoor side 18.

[0020] The upper part of the exterior wall panel 4 is the upper portion (upper half) from the top edge of the exterior wall panel 4 to the center of the exterior wall panel 4 in the height direction. The upper part of the exterior wall panel 4 to which the tarp ring 5 is attached is preferably the top edge of the exterior wall panel 4 or its vicinity. The reason for attaching the tarp ring 5 to the upper part of the exterior wall panel 4 is to attach the upper part of the sunshade member 2 to the tarp ring 5 and install the sunshade member 2 so that it is suspended from a high position.

[0021] The sunshade member 2 is a sheet-like or surface-like member that has the function of blocking sunlight. The sunshade member 2 is a member that can be spread out in a roughly rectangular shape. The sunshade member 2 can be stretched out roughly vertically or diagonally to cover the sides of the building 1. The sunshade member 2 is tied to the building 1 (or to a tarp ring 5 attached to it) with ropes or the like.

[0022] The sheet-like member that constitutes sunshade member 2 is mainly a resin sheet (sunshade sheet) such as a tarp. In this case, the resin sheet is made of a relatively thin sheet material or cloth that can be folded or rolled up, for example. However, resin sheets are relatively thicker than thinner materials such as film or foil. The surface member that constitutes sunshade member 2 may also include bamboo blinds, reed screens, and other traditional sunshades.

[0023] Tarp rings 5 ​​are fittings (sunshade mounting fittings) for installing a sunshade on building 1. At least one pair of tarp rings 5 ​​are provided on building 1, one on each side, corresponding to both ends of one side (the upper side) of the rectangular sunshade member 2. The pair of tarp rings 5 ​​are installed on the upper part of the exterior wall panel 4 with the same height and a spacing that is approximately the same as or slightly longer than the length of one side of the sunshade member 2. Additional tarp rings 5 ​​may be provided as needed, one or more at a time, between the pair of tarp rings 5 ​​mentioned above.

[0024] For example, as shown in Figure 4, the tarp ring 5 is a U-shaped ring fitting having a mounting plate portion 5a and a U-shaped ring portion 5b integrally provided on the mounting plate portion 5a. Since the tarp ring 5 is installed on the outdoor side 18 of the building 1, it is formed of a metal with rust-preventive properties such as SUS, or a metal with a rust-preventive coating.

[0025] The mounting plate portion 5a is a flat, substantially rectangular plate-shaped member. The U-shaped ring portion 5b is a member that is substantially U-shaped when viewed from the side. The ends of the U-shape of the U-shaped ring portion 5b are attached to the mounting plate portion 5a at approximately the center and integrated. The tarp ring 5 is attached to the building 1 with both ends of the U-shaped ring portion 5b facing up and down. However, the tarp ring 5 may also be attached to the building 1 with both ends of the U-shaped ring portion 5b facing left and right. In addition, the tarp ring 5 may be made into a tarp hook by making the U-shaped ring portion 5b a J-shaped hook portion with a shorter upper end. In this case, the tarp hook is included in the tarp ring 5.

[0026] For example, as shown in Figure 2, the tarp ring 5 may be attached to the first floor of building 1. In this case, the sunshade member 2 may be installed so as to be suspended from the tarp ring 5 installed on the upper part of the first floor of building 1, or it may be stretched diagonally between the tarp ring 5 and the ground 19, etc. The sunshade member 2 may be fixed to the ground 19 at the bottom with pegs or weights, for example.

[0027] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, the tarp ring 5 may be attached to the second or third floor or higher of the building 1. In this case, the sunshade member 2 may be installed, for example, suspended from the tarp ring 5 installed on the upper part of the upper floor of the building 1, or stretched diagonally between the tarp ring 5 and the balcony 21 provided on the outdoor side 18 of the upper floor.

[0028] In this case, as shown in Figures 6 (to 8), the tarping 5 may be installed on the side of an opening 22, such as a window, formed on the side (which will be the outdoor side 18) of the first floor or upper floor of the building 1 (for example, building unit 6). The opening 22 has, for example, an outer frame 22a and an opening / closing part 22b that can move within the outer frame 22a along a rail provided inside the outer frame 22a. If the opening 22 is a window, the outer frame 22a is the outer window frame, and the opening / closing part 22b is the glass window, for example, with glass attached to the inner window frame.

[0029] The tarp ring 5 may be installed, for example, at approximately the same height as the top of the opening 22, or slightly higher or slightly lower. In this case, the sunshade member 2 is sized to cover almost the entire opening 22 of the building 1. This ensures that the building 1 is almost entirely or largely covered by the sunshade member 2.

[0030] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 9, the tarp ring 5 may also be installed on the side of the first floor or upper floor of the building 1 (for example, the building unit 6) (which will be the outdoor side 18). In this case, it is preferable to use a sunshade member 2 that is large enough to cover almost the entire side of the building 1. As a result, the entire or most of the side of the building 1 will be almost completely covered by the sunshade member 2.

[0031] For example, in the case of a building 1 having a planar shape as shown in Figure 10, the side of the outdoor side 18 of the building 1 has flat sections 23 (Figures 11 and 12) and corner sections 24 (Figures 13 and 14) at various points. The tarping 5 can be attached to at least one of the flat sections 23 or corner sections 24. In the case of a modular building, the building 1 with the planar shape described above can be formed, for example, by arranging three building units 6 in an L-shape in plan view.

[0032] The flat areas 23 of building 1 to which the tarp ring 5 is attached include the inner portion 23a (Figure 11) on one side of one building unit 6, and the joint portions (parallel portions 23b, Figure 12) that are laid flush between adjacent building units 6. In building 1 in Figure 10, there are eight inner portions 23a. In building 1 in Figure 10, there are two parallel portions 23b.

[0033] Furthermore, the corner portions 24 of the building 1 to which the tarp ring 5 is attached are the outer corners 24a (Figure 13) and inner corners 24b (Figure 14) of the building 1. The outer corners 24a are the outward-facing corner portions 24 of the building 1, and are formed, for example, at the corner portion of one building unit 6 that is not adjacent to another building unit 6. In the building 1 of Figure 10, there are five outer corners 24a. The inner corners 24b are the inward-facing corner portions 24 of the building 1, and are formed, for example, at the corner portion formed by combining three building units 6. In the building 1 of Figure 10, there is one inner corner 24b.

[0034] (1b) As shown in any of Figures 11 to 14, The exterior wall panel 4 is attached to the column 15 or intermediate stud 25 of the building 1. In this embodiment, the awning mounting structure 3 of building 1 is fixed to the columns 15 or studs 25 of building 1 through the exterior wall panel 4, as shown in any of Figures 7 to 9.

[0035] Here, the column 15 is a structural member of building 1. In the case of building unit 6, the column 15 is a vertical member that constitutes the unit frame. The building unit 6, which is roughly rectangular in shape, has columns 15 installed at each corner or on both sides of each side.

[0036] The intermediate studs 25 (Figure 5) are auxiliary structural members installed to attach the exterior wall panels 4 to the side of the building 1. The intermediate studs 25 are vertical metal members connected between the ceiling beams 16 and the floor beams 17. In the case of building unit 6, multiple intermediate studs 25 are installed at intervals between the columns 15 on both sides of the exterior side 18 of the building unit 6.

[0037] The intermediate studs 25 include corner studs 25a, which are installed adjacent to the columns 15 located at the corners of the building unit 6, and intermediate studs 25b, which are installed in the middle of the side of the building unit 6, away from the columns 15. These intermediate studs 25 are basically installed in multiples on the side, with spacing that is approximately the same as the width dimension of a standard-sized exterior wall panel 4.

[0038] The corner stud 25a is a member with a roughly L-shaped cross-section (Figure 9(b)) and is located on the side of the exterior side 18 of the building unit 6. Instead of the column 15, the corner stud 25a abuts against or fixes to the outer edge or surrounding portion of a single (standard-sized) exterior wall panel 4 located on the outermost side of the side. As a result, the outer edge or surrounding portion of the exterior wall panel 4 becomes the attachment point for the corner stud 25a. In this case, the side edge of the standard-sized exterior wall panel 4 does not need to be fixed to the column 15.

[0039] The intermediate stud 25b is a member with a nearly inward-facing C-shaped cross-section (Figure 11) and is located at the abutting point of two adjacent (standard-sized) exterior wall panels 4 on the inner portion 23a of the side surface 18 of the building unit 6. The intermediate stud 25b simultaneously abuts and fixes the opposing side edges of the adjacent exterior wall panels 4. As a result, the side edges of the exterior wall panels 4 become the attachment points to the intermediate stud 25b. A gap is formed between the side edges of the adjacent exterior wall panels 4, which serves as a joint between the exterior wall panels 4, and this gap is waterproofed by inserting a gasket 26. A similar gasket 26 is also inserted between the exterior wall panel 4 and the opening 22 (Figure 8).

[0040] In addition, other types of studs 25 may be provided. For example, additional studs 25c (Figure 8) for openings may be provided on the sides of the opening 22 as needed. The side edges of the exterior wall panels 4 installed around the opening 22 are brought into contact with and fixed to the studs 25c for openings. The exterior wall panels 4 installed around the opening 22 are processed to fit the shape of the opening 22. As a result, the side edges of the exterior wall panels 4 around the opening 22 become the attachment points for the studs 25c for openings.

[0041] The exterior wall panel 4 is attached to the columns 15 and studs 25 from the interior side using, for example, rivets or other fastening devices 27 (Figure 8(b)).

[0042] The mounting plate portion 5a is installed on either the outer wall panel 4, within approximately the width of the column 15 or stud 25, so that the tarp ring 5 can be overlapped with the column 15 or stud 25 without significantly protruding to the side. For this purpose, the mounting plate portion 5a is formed to have a width dimension that is the same as or narrower than the column 15 or stud 25, preferably a width dimension of about half the width of the column 15 or stud 25 or less.

[0043] Specifically, in the case of building 1 with a planar shape as shown in Figure 10, the tarp ring 5 is installed as follows.

[0044] As shown in Figure 11, in the flat portion 23 formed on the inner portion 23a of the side of one building unit 6, the tarp ring 5 is attached to the intermediate studs 25 (intermediate studs 25b). In this case, the opposing side edges of adjacent exterior wall panels 4 are attached to the studs 25 simultaneously. The tarp ring 5 is attached with its mounting plate portion 5a approximately aligned with the side edge of one of the exterior wall panels 4 (end-to-end, Figure 11(b)).

[0045] As shown in Figures 6 to 8, when an opening 22 is provided on the side of one building unit 6, a stud 25 (or stud 25c for the opening) is installed at the side of the opening 22. Therefore, when attaching a tarp ring 5 to the side of the opening 22, the tarp ring 5 is fixed to the stud 25c for the opening.

[0046] Furthermore, in the flat section 23 that forms the parallel section 23b between adjacent building units 6, as shown in Figure 12, the tarp ring 5 is attached to the column 15 of one of the building units 6. In this case, a small exterior wall panel 4A, which is narrower than the usual size, is attached to the surface of the column 15. The small exterior wall panel 4A is approximately the same width as the column 15. The tarp ring 5 is attached with its mounting plate 5a approximately aligned with the side edge of the small exterior wall panel 4A (end-to-end, Figure 12(b)).

[0047] Then, at corners such as the outer corner 24a of building 1 as shown in Figure 13, and the inner corner 24b of building 1 as shown in Figure 14, the tarp ring 5 is attached to the column 15 of building unit 6.

[0048] In these cases, L-shaped corner exterior walls 4B or smaller exterior wall panels 4A that are narrower than the standard size are attached to the column 15 as appropriate. The smaller exterior wall panels 4A and corner exterior walls 4B have fittings for attaching them to the column 15. The tarp ring 5 is attached at a position slightly laterally away from the side edge of the corner exterior wall 4B or the smaller exterior wall panel 4A (separation distance 28, Figure 13(b)). This separation distance 28 is, for example, about half the width of the mounting plate portion 5a or more, and about the full width or less.

[0049] As described above, the tarp ring 5 will be installed on or near the side edge of the exterior wall panel 4 (attached to the side of the building 1 that will be the outdoor side 18).

[0050] (2) In the above, as shown in Figure 4, the exterior wall panel 4 may consist of a base plate 31 and tiles 33 attached to the surface of the base plate 31 with joints 32. The tarp ring 5 may be fixed to the column 15 or stud 25 with a fastener 34 at the joint 32 while in contact with the surface of the tile 33.

[0051] Here, the exterior wall panel 4 can be anything, but in this example, it is a tiled panel having a baseboard 31 and tiles 33. By using an exterior wall panel 4 with actual tiles 33, the building 1 becomes a chic building with a good appearance and a luxurious tile-like design.

[0052] Furthermore, the exterior wall panel 4 may be a tile-like siding panel with grooves on its surface to form a tile pattern. Alternatively, the exterior wall panel 4 may consist only of a baseboard 31 without tiles 33 attached. In this case, the surface of the baseboard 31 may have a textured pattern formed by irregularities.

[0053] The base plate 31 is a board material that forms the base of the exterior wall panel 4 and creates the outer shape of the exterior wall panel 4. The base plate 31 is made of, for example, hard wood chip cement board. The surface of the base plate 31 is the surface that faces the outside 18 of the base plate 31. The base plate 31 may have metal mounting members 35 on its back surface. The mounting members 35 are appropriately provided, for example, along the top, bottom, left, and right edges or their periphery of the exterior wall panel 4. The exterior wall panel 4 is attached to the columns 15 and studs 25 using the mounting members 35.

[0054] The joint section 32 is a groove that forms the gap between multiple tiles 33 attached to the surface of the base plate 31, and is also an exposed portion of the base plate 31. The joint section 32 has a horizontal joint section 32a and a vertical joint section 32b. A spacer 37 (Figure 4) is interposed in the joint section 32 where the tarp ring 5 is fixed, as needed. The spacer 37 has approximately the same thickness as the tile 33, approximately the same width as the joint section 32, and approximately the same length as the width of the mounting member 35. By interposing the spacer 37 in the joint section 32, the joint section 32 becomes flush with the tile 33, and when the tarp ring 5 is fixed to the exterior wall panel 4, the adhesion and fixation to the exterior wall panel 4 are improved.

[0055] A pair of spacers 37 are installed in the upper and lower joint portions 32 (horizontal joint portions 32a) of the tile 33. The spacers 37 may have pre-existing holes 37a through which the fasteners 34 pass. The spacers 37 may be made of, for example, resin or metal. The spacers 37 may be colored in a dark color such as black or gray so that they are not easily noticeable from the outside. Alternatively, the spacers 37 may be colored in the same color as the base plate 31 or the tile 33. By fixing the tarping ring 5 to the column 15 or stud 25 with the fasteners 34, the spacers 37 are sandwiched together with the base plate 31 between the mounting plate portion 5a and the column 15 or stud 25.

[0056] The tiles 33 are decorative materials made of ceramics or the like, and are attached to the surface of the baseboard 31. They are weather-resistant and protect the building 1 from wind and rain. As shown in Figures 7, 15, and 16, the tiles 33 are available in various sizes and shapes, and are attached in various patterns to the surface of the baseboard 31 in a regular pattern with joints 32.

[0057] The fastener 34 can be, for example, a screw-in fastener such as a screw (tapping screw) or a nail-driven fastener. The fastener 34 is set to a length that reaches the column 15 or stud 25 from the surface of the mounting plate portion 5a of the tarp ring 5, or to a length that exceeds the column 15 or stud 25. The fastener 34 is installed from the outdoor side 18 almost perpendicular to the mounting plate portion 5a of the tarp ring 5, the spacer 37, the base plate 31 of the exterior wall panel 4, and the column 15 or stud 25. The mounting plate portion 5a of the tarp ring 5 may have through holes 5c for installation at the positions through which the fastener 34 passes (positions of the joint portion 32). The through holes 5c may be provided at four positions on the top, bottom, left, and right of the U-shaped ring portion 5b. The holes 37a of the spacer 37 are provided at positions that coincide with the through holes 5c.

[0058] The tarp ring 5 may be fixed to the exterior wall panel 4 having tiles 33 on its surface at a location other than the joint 32 (for example, at the location of the tiles 33), but as described above, it is preferable to fix the tarp ring 5 at the location of the joint 32.

[0059] When fixing the tarp ring 5 at the joint 32, the tarp ring 5 is extended vertically to match the size of the tile 33. Specifically, the tarp ring 5 is formed so that the mounting plate portion 5a is longer than the sum of the vertical dimension of one (or several) tiles 33 and the vertical dimension of the joint 32 located above and below the tile 33 (or between the tiles 33). As a result, the mounting plate portion 5a has an overlap 5d that extends beyond the joint 32 to which it is fixed and overlaps with a portion of the tiles 33 located above and below it. Having an overlap 5d allows the tarp ring 5 to be fixed to the exterior wall panel 4 in a more stable state.

[0060] As a result of the above, the mounting plate portion 5a has a shape that is significantly elongated vertically compared to the mounting plate portion of a typical U-ring fitting. In other words, the mounting plate portion of a typical U-ring fitting is a rectangle that is almost a square. That is, the mounting plate portion of a typical U-ring fitting has a width (left-right dimension) that is about the length between the ends of the U-ring portion, and a length (top-bottom dimension) that is about the length between the ends of the U-ring portion plus the allowance for forming the upper and lower through holes.

[0061] In contrast, the tarp ring 5 in this embodiment has a mounting plate portion 5a that is specially made with a length based on the size of the tile 33 and joint portion 32. The width of the mounting plate portion 5a is approximately the length between the ends of the U-shaped ring portion 5b. Therefore, the tarp ring 5 in this embodiment is a special fitting in which the ratio of the width to the length of the mounting plate portion 5a is significantly different from that of a typical U-shaped ring fitting.

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, the tarping ring 5 is formed such that the mounting plate portion 5a is approximately 2.5 to 4.5 times the length between the ends of the U-shaped ring portion 5b, depending on the size of the tile 33 and the joint portion 32.

[0063] As shown in the examples in Figures 7, 15, and 16, there are multiple types of exterior wall panels 4 with different tile sizes 33. In this case, multiple types of tarping rings 5 ​​are prepared for each type of exterior wall panel 4, each having a mounting plate portion 5a with a length that matches the size of the tile 33 used.

[0064] (3) In the above, as shown in Figure 17, the exterior wall panel 4 has a pilot hole 41 formed at a position for passing the fastener 34, and the pilot hole 41 may be sealed with a waterproofing material 42 to form the mounting area 43. The tarp ring 5 may be attached using fasteners 34 through the planned attachment point 43 after the construction of the building 1.

[0065] Here, the position where the fastener 34 passes through is the position where the fastener 34 penetrates the exterior wall panel 4, for example, the position where the joint 32 overlaps with the column 15 or intermediate stud 25.

[0066] The pilot hole 41 is a hole pre-formed in the exterior wall panel 4 (for example, from the outdoor side 18) for passing the fastener 34 through. Preferably, the pilot hole 41 has a diameter that is approximately the same as or slightly smaller than the fastener 34. The pilot hole 41 is mainly a through hole, but it may also be a non-through hole (bottomed hole). By pre-forming the pilot hole 41, it becomes possible to accurately attach the tarp ring 5 to the exterior wall panel 4 after the construction of the building 1 without having to mark its position. Furthermore, by forming the pilot hole 41, the load on the exterior wall panel 4 when attaching the fastener 34 is reduced, and it becomes possible to obtain a more direct and stronger fixing force to the column 15 or stud 25.

[0067] The waterproofing material 42 seals the pilot hole 41 from the outside side 18, ensuring waterproofing and making the pilot hole 41 less noticeable from the outside. The waterproofing material 42 can be any type, but for example, it can be a paste-like filler such as a caulking agent. It is preferable to use a waterproofing material 42 that can maintain waterproofing over a long period of time. The pilot hole 41 may be completely sealed with the waterproofing material 42, or only the opening on the outside side 18 may be sealed with the waterproofing material 42. When attaching the tarp ring 5 to the exterior wall panel 4, the waterproofing material 42 should be applied again to the fastener 34 (Figure 4).

[0068] The planned mounting section 43 is an unfinished sunshade mounting structure 3 that is pre-installed on the building 1 in anticipation of the future installation of the tarp ring 5 on the exterior wall panel 4. By providing the planned mounting section 43 on the exterior wall panel 4 of the building 1, residents and others will be free to choose later whether or not to install the tarp ring 5 on the building 1 and complete the sunshade mounting structure 3. Note that the planned mounting section 43 can be installed not only on the exterior wall panel 4 with tiles 33 attached to its surface, but also on the siding described above, or on exterior wall panels 4 without tiles 33 attached.

[0069] In the case of building unit 6, pilot holes 41 are formed in the exterior wall panel 4 at a position that overlaps with the column 15 or stud 25 at the factory. The pilot holes 41 are sealed with waterproofing material 42 to form the mounting area 43. The building 1 then has mounting areas 43 on the exterior wall panel 4 for installing the sunshade mounting structure 3. Whether or not the sunshade mounting structure 3 is made by attaching the tarp ring 5 to the mounting area 43 is determined by the condition of the traces of the pilot holes 41 and the waterproofing material 42. Note that the building 1 can also have the tarp ring 5 attached to the exterior wall panel 4 in advance without creating the mounting area 43.

[0070] As mentioned above, the tarp ring 5 is attached to the top of the exterior wall panel 4, but a roof 44 is installed over the entire top of the building 1. The roof 44 protects the top and upper sides of the building 1 by forming overhanging parts 45, 46 (Figures 18 and 19), such as eaves and canopies, that extend from the building unit 6 to the outside 18. Therefore, on the top floor of the building 1, the roof 44 may affect the installation of the tarp ring 5.

[0071] For example, in Figure 18, the roof 44 is a nearly horizontal flat roof 44a, and the overhanging portion 45 is an overhang or eaves of the flat roof 44a. Of these, Figure 18(a) is an overhang of a standard length (standard overhang 45a). Figure 18(b) is an overhang with a shorter length than the standard overhang 45a (short overhang 45b). Figure 18(c) is an overhang with a shorter length than the short overhang 45b (ultra-short overhang 45c). Figure 18(d) is an overhang of the roof 44 installed at a higher position than in Figures 18(a) to (c). In this case, the exterior wall panel 4 extends to a height where its upper end reaches the top surface of the building unit 6 (above the ceiling beam 16). In contrast, in Figures 18(a) to (c), the upper end of the exterior wall panel 4 is at a height below the ceiling beam 16 of the building unit 6.

[0072] Furthermore, for example, Figure 19 shows a sloping roof 44b with a sloping roof 44, and an overhanging portion 46 which is the eaves or canopy of the sloping roof 44b. Of these, Figure 19(a) is a canopy with a standard overhang (standard canopy 46a). Figure 19(b) is a canopy with a shorter overhang than the standard canopy 46a (short canopy 46b). Figure 19(c) is a canopy with an even shorter overhang than the short canopy 46b (ultra-short canopy 46c). Figure 19(d) is a canopy with a horizontal soffit 47. In Figure 19(d), because the soffit 47 is horizontal, the upper end of the soffit 47 and the exterior wall panel 4 are at a height that reaches below the ceiling beam 16 of the building unit 6. In contrast, in Figures 19(a) to (c), the exterior wall panel 4 extends to a height where its upper end reaches the top surface of the building unit 6 (above the ceiling beam 16). Figures 19(a) and (b) show sloping soffits.

[0073] On the top floor of building 1, the tarp ring 5 must be installed in a position that does not interfere with the various overhangs 46 of the roof 44 as described above, and that is not obstructed by the overhangs 46. To this end, the tarp ring 5 will be installed at a position below the boundary between the roof 44 and the upper surface of building unit 6, at a required distance.

[0074] In this case, the optimal lower position for attaching the tarp ring 5 to the top floor is likely to differ depending on the roof 44 and the overhang 46, as described above. However, if the optimal position could be standardized so that it can be attached in the same position regardless of the type of roof 44, it would be more efficient in terms of both labor and cost.

[0075] Therefore, we investigated whether there was a common mounting position (common mounting position 48) that could be used for any type of roof 44, and if so, where that position would be. As a result, we found that a common mounting position 48 existed for the building unit 6. It was confirmed that the optimal location for the common mounting position 48 was a distance 49 of approximately 380 mm to 400 mm from the top surface of the building unit 6 (above the ceiling beam 16). This common mounting position 48 almost coincides with the top of the opening 22 and is at a suitable height for mounting the sunshade member 2. Therefore, it is preferable to mount the top floor tarp ring 5 at the common mounting position 48.

[0076] In Figure 19(c), although not shown, the tarp ring 5 is attached to the top floor (building unit 6) and also to the floor below (building unit 6). In this case, both tarp rings 5 ​​are installed at the common mounting position 48 of each building unit 6.

[0077] (4) Also, as shown in Figure 20 (Figures 21 and 3), The sunshade mounting structure 3 of building 1 may also involve installing a tarp ring 52 for attaching the sunshade component 2 on the inner wall 51 of the handrail of the balcony 21 installed on building 1. The inner wall 51 of the handrail may have a tarp ring support bracket 53 installed on its back side. The tarp ring 52 may also be fixed to the tarp ring receiving bracket 53 through the inner wall 51 of the handrail.

[0078] Here, the balcony 21 is a space for going outside, provided on the upper floor of the building 1, extending outwards from the side of the outdoor side 18 that has an opening 22. The balcony 21 is basically roofless, but it may also include a veranda with a roof. However, the sunshade member 2 is generally installed on the roofless balcony 21.

[0079] The balcony 21 is constructed such that the handrail wall section 54 is erected along the periphery of the floor section 55. The handrail wall section 54 includes, for example, metal support columns 56, an outer handrail wall 57, an inner handrail wall 51, an upper furring strip 58, a coping 59, and a handrail member 61.

[0080] In the case of a modular building, the balcony 21 may be manufactured in a factory as a balcony unit, either in a completed or nearly completed state. The balcony unit may then be attached to the upper floor building unit 6 in a nearly completed state after the building unit 6 has been assembled at the construction site, or during the assembly process.

[0081] Multiple support columns 56 are erected along the periphery of the floor section 55 at intervals. The handrail exterior wall 57 is a surface material that constitutes the outdoor side 18 of the handrail wall section 54, and is formed by multiple panels.

[0082] Each panel of the handrail exterior wall 57, like the exterior wall panel 4, has a metal mounting member 35A on its back surface. The handrail exterior wall 57 is attached to the support posts 56 at the side edges of each panel, similar to how the exterior wall panel 4 is attached to the intermediate posts 25. The support posts 56 are installed between the handrail exterior wall 57 and the handrail interior wall 51, with a spacing approximately equal to the width of the handrail wall panels 54.

[0083] The inner wall 51 of the handrail is a surface material that constitutes the building 1 side of the handrail wall section 54, and is installed almost parallel to the outer wall 57 of the handrail, with the support column 56 in between. The inner wall 51 of the handrail is formed by multiple panels, similar to the outer wall 57 of the handrail. Each panel of the inner wall 51 of the handrail has a metal mounting member 35A on its back surface, similar to the outer wall panel 4.

[0084] The upper furring strip 58 is a connecting horizontal member that connects and integrates the upper ends of multiple support posts 56. It is installed between the upper edges of the handrail outer wall 57 and the handrail inner wall 51, with its upper surface being approximately the same height as or slightly higher than the upper edges. A lower furring strip is provided between the lower ends of the support posts 56.

[0085] The coping 59 is a decorative cover that simultaneously covers the upper edges of the outer wall 57 and the inner wall 51 of the handrail from above. It is installed along the upper furring strip 58 and attached to the upper side of the upper furring strip 58. The handrail member 61 is a horizontal member attached to the coping 59 and is supported and fixed via short support members so as to be spaced apart above the coping 59.

[0086] The main reason for attaching the tarp ring 52 to the inner wall 51 of the handrail is to attach the lower part of the sunshade component 2 to the tarp ring 52.

[0087] The tarp ring 52 can be attached at any height on the inner wall 51 of the handrail, but attaching it at a relatively high position, such as the top of the inner wall 51 of the handrail, is functionally preferable as it allows for effective use of the space on the balcony 21. The top of the inner wall 51 of the handrail is the upper part (upper half) from the top edge of the inner wall 51 to the center of the inner wall 51 in the height direction. The position at which the tarp ring 52 is attached to the top of the inner wall 51 of the handrail may vary depending on the specifications of the balcony 21. However, for most specifications of the balcony 21, the desirable attachment position for the tarp ring 52 is approximately 1000 mm or more from the bottom of the balcony unit (approximately the position of the underside of the floor 55).

[0088] The tarp ring 52 on the inner wall 51 of the handrail is basically the same shape and structure as the tarp ring 5 on building 1.

[0089] Specifically, the tarp rings 52 of the inner wall 51 of the handrail are provided in pairs on the left and right sides of the inner wall 51, corresponding to at least both ends of one side (the lower side) of the sunshade member 2. The pair of tarp rings 52 are installed on the inner wall 51 of the handrail with the same height and a spacing that is approximately the same as or longer than the length of one side of the sunshade member 2. Additional tarp rings 52 may be provided as appropriate, one or more, between the pair of tarp rings 52 described above. The tarp rings 52 are made of a metal with rust-preventive properties, such as SUS, or a metal with a rust-preventive coating.

[0090] The tarp ring 52 has a mounting plate portion 52a and a U-shaped ring portion 52b integrally provided on the mounting plate portion 52a (Figure 21). The tarp ring 52 may also be used as a tarp hook by using the U-shaped ring portion 52b as a hook portion.

[0091] The tarp ring 52 of the inner wall 51 of the handrail may be provided together with the tarp ring 5 of the outer wall panel 4 so that they can be used in combination (or both simultaneously). In this case, it is preferable that the tarp ring 52 of the inner wall 51 of the handrail and the tarp ring 5 of the outer wall panel 4 are provided in a pair with a difference in height.

[0092] Furthermore, the tarp ring 52 of the inner wall 51 of the handrail can be structurally installed on the inner wall 51 alone, without the tarp ring 5 being installed on the outer wall panel 4. In this case, the sunshade member 2 can be fixed to a clothesline or the like at the top, for example. Conversely, the tarp ring 5 of the outer wall panel 4 can also be installed on the outer wall panel 4 alone, without the tarp ring 52 being installed on the inner wall 51 of the handrail. In this case, the sunshade member 2 can be fixed to a handrail member 61 of the balcony 21 or the like at the bottom, for example.

[0093] The tarp ring support bracket 53 is a metal strength member provided inside the handrail wall portion 54 of the balcony 21 to receive the tarp ring 52. The tarp ring support bracket 53 is partially attached to the support column 56 around the height at which the tarp ring 52 will be installed. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 21(c), the support column 56 is a member with an inward-facing C-shaped cross section that extends vertically. The tarp ring support bracket 53 is a member with an outward-facing C-shaped cross section that extends short vertically and is located on the building 1 side of the support column 56. The tarp ring support bracket 53 is fixed to the support column 56 from the side with fixing members 62 such as screws, by combining (or fitting) them together to form a closed cross section.

[0094] The inner wall of the handrail 51 has the positions of the support posts 56 and the tarp ring receiving brackets 53 as the joints between the panels. A gasket 26 is inserted into the joints between the panels. The tarp ring 52 is attached by aligning the mounting plate portion 52a with the side edge of one of the panels constituting the inner wall of the handrail 51 (end alignment, Figure 21(c)).

[0095] Note that the detailed configuration other than those mentioned above is almost the same as (1) in the case of exterior wall panel 4. In this case, similar configurations should be interpreted as appropriate.

[0096] (4a) As shown in Figure 22, the inner wall 51 of the handrail may be composed of a base plate 63 and tiles 65 attached to the surface of the base plate 63 with joints 64. The tarp ring 52 may be fixed to the tarp ring receiving bracket 53 with a fastener 66 at the joint 64 while in contact with the surface of the tile 65.

[0097] Here, spacers 67 may be installed in the joint 64. For example, a pair of spacers 67 are installed in the upper and lower joints 64 (horizontal joints) of the tile 65. The spacers 67 may have pre-existing holes 67a through which the fastener 66 passes.

[0098] In this case, the inner wall 51 or outer wall 57 of the handrail may use the same or identical panel material as the outer wall panel 4. Alternatively, the inner wall 51 or outer wall 57 of the handrail may use a different panel material than the outer wall panel 4. Furthermore, the mounting plate portion 52a of the tarp ring 52 may have through holes 52c at the top and bottom, and an overlap portion similar to the overlap portion 5d of the mounting plate portion 5a.

[0099] Note that the detailed configuration other than those mentioned above is almost the same as in (2) for exterior wall panel 4. In this case, the same configuration, for example, exterior wall panel 4 shall be read as handrail inner wall 51 as needed, column 15 or intermediate column 25 as tarp ring receiving bracket 53 as needed, tarp ring 5 as tarp ring 52 as needed, spacer 37 as spacer 67, etc.

[0100] (4b) As shown in Figure 23, the inner wall 51 of the handrail has a pilot hole 71 formed at a position for passing the fastener 66 through, and the pilot hole 71 may be sealed with a waterproofing material 72 to form the mounting area 73. The tarp ring 52 may be attached using fasteners 66 through the planned attachment point 73 after the construction of the building 1.

[0101] The detailed configuration described above is almost the same as that of (3) in the case of exterior wall panel 4. In this case, similar configurations, such as exterior wall panel 4, may be interpreted as handrail interior wall 51, etc., as needed.

[0102] <Effect> The effect of this embodiment is as follows:

[0103] To block the strong summer sun, a sunshade component 2 (tarp) is installed on the outdoor side 18 of building 1. For this purpose, for example, hooks for attaching the sunshade component 2 are installed on the exterior wall panel 4 of building 1. The sunshade component 2 is installed using hooks to cover openings 22 and sides of the lower and upper floors of building 1.

[0104] In this case, for example, if a resident attaches hooks for the sunshade component 2 to the exterior wall panel 4 of building 1 using adhesive or double-sided tape, the hooks will be attached to the exterior wall panel 4 solely by the adhesive strength of the adhesive or the adhesive strength of the double-sided tape. Therefore, the attachment force of the hooks to the exterior wall panel 4 is insufficient. Consequently, when a strong force such as a strong wind acts on the sunshade component 2, the hooks may be pulled by the sunshade component 2, causing the attached portion to detach from the exterior wall panel 4.

[0105] In contrast, it is conceivable that a resident could, for example, attach the hooks to the exterior wall panels 4 of building 1 themselves using fasteners 34 such as nails or screws. However, doing so would involve drilling holes in the exterior wall panels 4, and there is a risk that the resident might accidentally damage the exterior wall panels 4, or impair the waterproofing performance of the exterior wall panels 4 or building 1, thus damaging building 1. For this reason, attaching the hooks to the exterior wall panels 4 of building 1 using fasteners 34 such as nails or screws is a difficult task for residents.

[0106] Furthermore, even if the hook is attached to the exterior wall panel 4 with a fastener 34, if the attachment is poor, the hook will not be firmly attached to the building 1. In this case, the hook will place an excessive load on the exterior wall panel 4.

[0107] Therefore, it becomes necessary to reinforce the areas where the hooks are attached to the exterior wall panel 4 and the surrounding areas. In this case, for example, building 1 would have to remove the exterior wall panel 4, install reinforcing members on the back side of the exterior wall panel 4 in building 1, and then reattach the exterior wall panel 4. This work is almost impossible for residents to do.

[0108] Therefore, building 1 is equipped with a sunshade mounting structure 3 as part of the building's facilities. This allows residents to easily and aesthetically install sunshade members 2 on building 1 using the sunshade mounting structure 3 provided as part of the building's facilities.

[0109] In this case, the sunshade mounting structure 3 is required to be, for example, firmly fixed to the building 1 and to have minimal impact on the exterior wall panel 4.

[0110] Therefore, in this embodiment, the sunshade mounting structure 3 is configured as described above. The tarp ring 5 is then attached to the upper part of the exterior wall panel 4, as shown in Figure 4.

[0111] In this case, the exterior wall panel 4 inserts a spacer 37 into the joint 32 between the tiles 33 on its surface, at the position where the planned mounting portion 43 is formed. Then, the tarping ring 5 is positioned so that its mounting plate portion 5a is in contact with the surfaces of the tiles 33 and the spacer 37.

[0112] Furthermore, the fastener 34 is fitted with a sealant such as modified silicone over the entire screw thread, and the mounting plate portion 5a is fixed to the column 15 or stud 25 using this fastener 34. At this time, the fastener 34 is fitted through the through hole 5c of the mounting plate portion 5a, the hole 37a of the spacer 37, and the pilot hole 41 of the mounting portion 43.

[0113] The mounting plate portion 5a is fixed by using both the upper and lower through holes 5c provided in the mounting plate portion 5a. This ensures that the tarp ring 5 is securely and firmly fixed to the column 15 or intermediate column 25.

[0114] Alternatively, the tarp ring 52 may be attached to the inner wall 51 of the handrail, as shown in Figure 22. In this case as well, the spacer 67 is inserted into the joint 64 between the tiles 65 at the position where the planned mounting portion 73 is formed. Then, the tarp ring 52 is positioned so that the mounting plate portion 52a is in contact with the surfaces of the tile 65 and the spacer 67.

[0115] Furthermore, the fastener 66 is fitted with a sealant such as modified silicone over the entire screw thread, and the fastener 66 is passed through the mounting plate portion 52a, the spacer 67, and the pilot hole 71 of the planned mounting portion 73 to fix the mounting plate portion 52a to the tarp ring receiving bracket 53. The planned mounting portion 73 is fixed using both the upper and lower through holes 52c provided in the mounting plate portion 52a. As a result, the tarp ring 52 is securely and firmly fixed to the tarp ring receiving bracket 53.

[0116] Furthermore, if the inner wall 51 of the handrail does not have tiles 65 on its surface, as shown in Figure 21, the tarping ring 52 is fixed by directly contacting the mounting plate portion 52a with the surface of the base plate 63 without using a spacer 67. In this case, the surface of the base plate 63 should be smoothed out around the planned mounting portion 73 with a sealant such as modified silicone, if necessary.

[0117] In the case of exterior wall panels 4, if they do not have tiles 33 on their surface, the tarping ring 5 is fixed in the same manner as above, by leveling the surface irregularities so that the mounting plate portion 5a directly contacts and is fixed to the base plate 31.

[0118] Then, once the tarp rings 5 ​​and 52 are installed on building 1, the sunshade member 2 is tied at its four corners to the tarp rings 5 ​​on the exterior wall panel 4 and the tarp rings 52 on the inner wall 51 of the handrail with ropes. In this way, the sunshade member 2 is neatly and securely stretched over the exterior side 18 of building 1 using the tarp rings 52.

[0119] <Effects> The effects of this embodiment are as follows:

[0120] (Effect 1) In the sunshade mounting structure 3 of this embodiment, the building 1 is equipped with a tarp ring 5 on the upper part of the exterior wall panel 4. This allows the building 1 to easily and securely tie the upper part of the sunshade member 2 (tarp) using the tarp ring 5. Furthermore, by using the tarp ring 5, the sunshade member 2 can be stretched out from the exterior wall panel 4 of the building 1 toward the outside side 18 in an aesthetically pleasing manner.

[0121] In this case, the tarp ring 5 is fixed to the column 15 or intermediate stud 25 through the exterior wall panel 4 of the building 1. As a result, the tarp ring 5 is firmly fixed to the structural member of the building 1, making it possible to fix the tarp ring 5 to the building 1 without having to perform work such as reinforcing the exterior wall panel 4 with reinforcing members. In addition, the tarp ring 5 is prevented from falling off the exterior wall panel 4 by being firmly fixed to the column 15 or intermediate stud 25. Therefore, even if a strong force such as a strong wind acts on the sunshade member 2, the tarp ring 5 will not be pulled by the sunshade member 2 and come off the exterior wall.

[0122] (Effect 2) In the above-described sunshade mounting structure 3, the tarp ring 5 may be fixed to the column 15 or stud 25 with a fastener 34 at the joint 32 while in contact with the surface of the tile 33. By attaching the fastener 34 at the joint 32 in this way, the tarp ring 5 can be directly fastened to the column 15 or stud 25 only through the base plate 31, which is the main body of the exterior wall panel 4, without going through the tile 33. As a result, the tarp ring 5 is firmly fixed to the exterior wall panel 4 with minimal stress on the tile 33.

[0123] Furthermore, by attaching fasteners 34 to the joints 32 of the exterior wall panel 4, it becomes unnecessary to perform processing such as locally removing tiles 33 from the exterior wall panel 4 in the area where the tarp ring 5 will be attached, thus eliminating the time and cost of processing the tiles 33. Also, by leaving the tiles 33 unprocessed, the exterior wall panel 4 is prevented from being detracted from its appearance. And because no reinforcement or processing of the exterior wall panel 4 is required, anyone can easily fix the tarp ring 5 to the building 1 after construction.

[0124] (Effect 3) In the above-described sunshade mounting structure 3, the exterior wall panel 4 may have pre-formed pilot holes 41 and the pilot holes 41 sealed with a waterproofing material 42 to provide the mounting area 43. This allows the building 1 to have the mounting area 43, and the mounting area 43 becomes a structure of the building 1 that allows for easy attachment of the tarp ring 5 without damaging the exterior wall panel 4. The occupants of the building 1 will only need to choose whether or not to attach the tarp ring 5 to the mounting area 43. It is preferable to provide the mounting area 43 in the joint 32.

[0125] Furthermore, if the tarp ring 5 is not attached, the pilot hole 41 is sealed with waterproofing material 42, so the exterior wall panel 4 can be kept inconspicuous from the outside and rainwater and other elements cannot enter the interior.

[0126] Furthermore, when installing the Tarp Ring 5, the resident of Building 1 can easily and quickly install the Tarp Ring 5 without any hassle by using the installation area 43. Moreover, the installation area 43 ensures that the Tarp Ring 5 is installed in the correct and appropriate position on the pillar 15 or stud 25, which are not visible from the outside due to the exterior wall panel 4. The actual installation of the Tarp Ring 5 can be done by the resident themselves, or by a professional such as a contractor at the resident's request.

[0127] (Effect 4) In the sunshade mounting structure 3 of this embodiment, the building 1 is equipped with a balcony 21, and the balcony 21 can be equipped with a tarp ring 52 on the inner wall 51 of the handrail. This allows the balcony 21 to easily and securely tie the lower part of the sunshade member 2 (tarp) using the tarp ring 52. Furthermore, by using the tarp ring 52, the sunshade member 2 can be stretched out from the building 1 toward the balcony 21 in an aesthetically pleasing manner.

[0128] In this case, the tarp ring 52 is fixed to the tarp ring receiving bracket 53 through the inner wall 51 of the handrail of the balcony 21. As a result, the tarp ring 52 is firmly fixed to the structural member (support column 56) of the balcony 21 via the tarp ring receiving bracket 53, making it possible to fix the tarp ring 52 to the balcony 21 without reinforcing the inner wall 51 of the handrail. In addition, the tarp ring 52 is prevented from falling off the inner wall 51 of the handrail by being firmly fixed to the tarp ring receiving bracket 53. Therefore, even if a strong force such as a strong wind acts on the sunshade member 2, the tarp ring 52 will not be pulled by the sunshade member 2 and come off the inner wall 51 of the handrail.

[0129] Furthermore, by providing the handrail inner wall 51 with the same configuration as in sections (2) and (3) for the outer wall panel 4, the same effects as (Effect 2) and (Effect 3) described above can be obtained. [Explanation of symbols]
