Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, in the above Patent Documents 1 and 2, the positions (covering plate fixing tool 20, roof fixing tool B) where the fixing tool is fixed by the building wrap itself to be attached cannot be visually recognized, and the fixable range is narrow both vertically and horizontally, so it is difficult to perform proper attachment, and it is a structure that easily causes construction defects. In order to perform proper attachment, marks or the like are required, which is troublesome. <​​Therefore, the present invention aims to propose an external mounting structure for external materials, such as ridge capping, that can be reliably attached to the correct position. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and relates to an attachment structure for attaching an external material to an exterior structure in which a space is formed at the connection portion between adjacent exterior materials on the left and right, wherein the left and right exterior materials each have a lower molded portion that opens to the side and an upper molded portion that covers the lower molded portion, the space is formed by combining the upper molded portion and the lower molded portion of the adjacent exterior materials on the left and right, a reinforcing material is filled and housed in the space, and the location where the reinforcing material is interposed is the attachment location of the external material.

[0008] Furthermore, the present invention also proposes an external mounting structure characterized in that the lower molded portion and the upper molded portion each have a flat upper surface portion, and the upper surfaces of each molded portion are positioned in an overlapping manner to form the mounting location. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] The mounting structure for exterior materials of the present invention allows for the secure attachment of exterior materials such as ridge capping. That is, when attaching various types of exterior materials, even if the attachment point cannot be seen from the exterior material itself, the reinforcing material is housed in a filling manner in the space, so the position of the reinforcing material is none other than the position of the space. Therefore, since the reinforcing material is located directly below the visible surface shape, the effort required to identify the attachment point is greatly reduced, and fasteners can be securely attached without causing deformation (indentation) of the upper surface (upper molded part and lower molded part).

[0010] Furthermore, the lower molded portion and the upper molded portion each have a flat upper surface, and when the upper surfaces of each molded portion are positioned in an overlapping manner to form the mounting location, the upper surface overlaps with the top of the convex portion, so the position of the reinforcing material can be easily inferred by visual inspection.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0012] The mounting structure for an exterior material of the present invention is a mounting structure for attaching an exterior material to an exterior structure in which a space is formed at the connection portion between adjacent exterior materials on the left and right sides, wherein the exterior material comprises a lower molded portion that opens to the side and an upper molded portion that covers the lower molded portion, the space is formed by combining the upper molded portion and the lower molded portion of the left and right exterior materials, a reinforcing material is filled and housed in the space, and the location where the reinforcing material is interposed is the mounting location of the exterior material.

[0013] Furthermore, it is desirable that the lower molded section and the upper molded section each have a flat upper surface, and that the upper surfaces of each molded section are positioned in an overlapping manner to serve as attachment points for external materials. In the illustrated embodiment described later, each molded section is formed with a substantially vertical vertical surface and a substantially horizontal upper surface (i.e., an inverted L-shaped section is formed in each molded section), and the space formed by the combination of these is substantially rectangular.

[0014] In this invention, the exterior materials refer to various components and equipment attached to the exterior structure, and specifically refer to finishing materials (decorative materials, water-stopping flashing) for ends such as eaves, ridges, and gables, as well as fixing brackets for installing solar panels and the like that are not installed at the ends, snow guards, skylights, and other equipment and components attached to the roofing material (structure).

[0015] The exterior material in the present invention has a space formed at the connection portion between adjacent exterior materials on the left and right, and comprises a lower molded portion that opens to the side and an upper molded portion that covers the lower molded portion, and the space is formed by combining the upper molded portion and the lower molded portion of the left and right exterior materials. That is, the space is formed by forming a space that opens to the side in the lower molded portion and a lateral portion that closes the space in the upper molded portion. In this invention, "space" refers to a substantially closed spatial region excluding the front-to-back direction, while "space" refers to a substantially open spatial region including the front-to-back and lateral directions. Furthermore, in the illustrated embodiment described later, the exterior material has a configuration in which rising inclined surfaces are formed on the left and right sides of a flat panel, and the upper and lower molded parts are formed at the upper ends of these inclined surfaces. Therefore, the side with the opening in the "space" refers to the side with the panel.

[0016] The interior of the aforementioned space is filled with reinforcing material, and the locations where the reinforcing material is interposed are the attachment points for the external material. This reinforcing material is a shaped material that can be stored in a filled state within the space of the exterior material. For example, a foamed resin shaped material or a rubber shaped material having properties such as elasticity and water tightness is desirable. However, at least when attaching screws or the like for attaching the exterior material, it preferably has the property of preventing the collapse of the space portion, and preferably has a fixing property for preventing the loosening of screws or the like. That is, since a fixing tool such as a screw is driven into the reinforcing material stored in the space portion from above, the reinforcing material receives the driving stress (pressure), and the collapse of the space portion can be prevented. Note that the collapse of the space portion means the deformation (denting) of the lower molded portion and the upper molded portion.

[0017] As described above, the lower molded portion of the exterior material used in the present invention has a space with an open side, so this space refers to the inner space of a U-shaped portion composed of a lower surface portion, an (inner) vertical surface portion, and an (inner) upper surface portion. Further, since the upper molded portion of the exterior material is configured to cover the lower molded portion as described above to form a space portion, a side portion that closes the space is formed. In the illustrated embodiment described later, since a substantially vertical vertical surface portion and a substantially horizontal upper surface portion are formed in each molded portion, in this upper molded portion, an (outer) vertical surface portion and an (outer) upper surface portion that cover the U-shaped portion in the lower molded portion from above and a downward vertical surface portion (forming the side portion) are formed, forming an inverted U-shaped portion. Therefore, in the illustrated embodiment described later, the collapse of the space portion means the deformation of the U-shaped portion of the lower molded portion and the inverted U-shaped portion of the upper molded portion.

[0018] In the attachment structure of the exterior material of the present invention having such a configuration, when attaching various exterior materials, even if the attachment location cannot be visually recognized by the exterior material itself, since the reinforcing material is stored in a filled state in the space portion, the position of the reinforcing material is no different from the position of the space portion. Therefore, since the reinforcing material exists directly below the visible surface shape, the labor required to specify the attachment location can be significantly reduced, and the fixing tool can be securely attached.

[0019] In addition, when the lower molding part and the upper molding part each have a flat upper surface part, and the upper surface parts in each molding part are positioned in a superposed manner to form the mounting location, since the upper surface parts are superposed on the top of the convex part, the position of the reinforcing material can be easily guessed visually.

Embodiment

[0020] The mounting structure of the exterior material (building wrapping) 3 of Embodiment 1 of the present invention shown in Figs. 1(a) and 1(b) is a structure in which the exterior material 3 is mounted on an exterior structure in which a space part 15 is formed at the connection part between adjacent exterior materials 1 and 1 on the left and right. The left and right exterior materials 1 and 1 include a lower molding part 14 with an open side and an upper molding part 13 covering the lower molding part 14. By combining the upper molding parts 13 and the lower molding parts 14 of the adjacent exterior materials 1 and 1 on the left and right, the space part 15 is formed, and the reinforcing material 2 is stored in the space part 15 in a filling state. The location where the reinforcing material 2 is interposed is the mounting location (fastener 4) of the exterior material 3.

[0021] In this Embodiment 1, the exterior material 3 is a building wrapping as described above in this Embodiment 1, and is a member arranged so as to straddle two inclined surfaces inclined from the top of the building. The end part on the lower water side thereof is formed so as to gently incline toward the back side. In addition, reference numeral 6 in Fig. 1(a) indicates a building surface door, and reference numeral 7 indicates a water stop surface door.

[0022] As shown in an enlarged view in Fig. 2(a), the exterior material 1 in this Embodiment 1 is one in which a space part 15 is formed at the connection part between adjacent exterior materials 1 and 1 on the left and right. It includes a lower molding part 14 with an open side shown in Fig. 2(c) and an upper molding part 13 covering the lower molding part 14 shown in Fig. 2(d). In addition, the lower molding part 14 is provided with a flat (inner) upper surface part 141, and the upper molding part 13 is provided with an (outer) upper surface part 131. By combining these molding parts 13 and 14, the (outer) upper surface part 131 and the (inner) upper surface part 141 are arranged in a superposed state, and the space part 15 is located on the back side thereof.

[0023] Figure 2(e) shows the lower molded section 14 without the upper molded section 13 and reinforcing material 3 attached. The lower molded section 14 has a space 140 that opens to the side, and this space 140 refers to the inner space of the U-shaped portion consisting of the lower surface 143 (extending from the base-shaped section 123), the (inner) vertical surface 142, and the (inner) upper surface 141. Furthermore, the upper molded portion 13 has a lateral portion 133 that closes the space 140, and an inverted U-shaped portion 130 is formed, consisting of an (outer) vertical surface portion 132, an (outer) upper surface portion 131, and a downward-facing vertical surface portion (lateral portion) 133 that covers the space 140 (U-shaped portion) from above. In other words, the space 140 formed in the lower molding section 14 is closed off by the downward-facing vertical surface section (lateral portion) 133 formed in the upper molding section 13 to form a space 15. This space 15 can be described as being formed by combining the space 140 and the inverted U-shaped portion 130.

[0024] In this embodiment 1, the exterior material 1 has a flat surface portion 11 with rising inclined surfaces 12, 12 formed on the left and right sides, and the upper molded portion 13 and the lower molded portion 14 formed at the upper ends of these inclined surfaces 12, 12, and the side with an opening in the space 140 refers to the side with the surface portion 11. The inclined surfaces 12, 12 are symmetrical, and have a folded-over engaging portion 121 at the side end of the faceplate portion 11, with the back (downward) side opening upward, a folded-over projection 122 at the upper end of the inclined portion, with the inward side opening outward, and a horizontal platform portion 123 at its upper end.

[0025] Furthermore, the retaining member 5 that holds the exterior material 1 consists of an upper member 5A having a mounting portion 55 as shown in Figure 2(f), a lower member 5B having a fixing portion 51 and a leg-shaped portion 52, and a fastener (bolt and nut) 5C that fixes both members 5A and 5B together. The mounting portion 55 of the upper member 5A of the retaining member 5 is provided with engaging portions 551, 551 that protrude to the left and right, and the protruding portion 122 of the exterior material 1 is fitted into it. Furthermore, the lower member 5B is a strip-shaped molded material, with a horizontal piece 53 in the center to which the upper member 5A is attached, inclined leg-shaped pieces 52, 52 on its left and right sides, horizontal piece-shaped fixing pieces 51, 51 extending outward at its lower end, and upward-facing locking pieces 54, 54 further outwards. Each fixing piece 51 is a horizontal piece, and has a hole 511 formed therein for driving a fixing device (not shown) into the base (structure 8). In addition, the engaging portion 121 of the exterior material 1 is attached in an engaging manner to the upper end 541 of the locking piece 54. Furthermore, the fastener 5C is a bolt and nut that integrates the upper member 5A with the mounting portion 55 of the lower member 5B in the vertical direction. In this configuration, the retaining member 5 may be assembled in advance by combining the upper member 5A, the lower member 5B, and the fastener 5C beforehand, transported to the site, and installed as a single component onto the substrate (structure 8).

[0026] Figures 3(a) to 3(d) show the construction method of this mounting structure. Note that Figures 3(c) and 3(d) show the external material 3 which is a ridge capping, but since this external material 3 obscures the structure on the back side, it is intentionally omitted from the drawings. Figure 3(a) shows the state in which a reinforcing member 2 is to be installed from the side, as indicated by the arrow in the figure, in the lower molded portion 14 (space 140) of the exterior material 1, which is located on the front right side of the drawing. Figure 3(b) shows the state in which the reinforcing material 2 is attached to the lower molded section 14 (space 140). Figure 3(c) shows the upper molded portion 13 of the exterior material 1, which is located on the left rear side of the drawing, combined to cover the lower molded portion 14 (space 140). By covering the space 140 of the upper molded portion 13 with the downward-facing vertical portion (lateral portion) 133, the space 140 becomes a void 15. Then, the fastener 4 is driven in from above the upper surface 141 of the upper molding section 14. Figure 3(d) shows the state in which the fastener 4 is fixed with the external material 3 (not shown) in place. Furthermore, even if the mounting location of the external material 3 is not visible, the reinforcing material 2 is stored in a filling manner in the space 15, so the reinforcing material 2 is located directly beneath the visible surface shape. This significantly reduces the effort required to identify the mounting location, and the fastener 4 can be securely attached without causing deformation (indentation) of the upper surfaces 141 and 131.

[0027] Figure 4(a) shows the exterior material 3, which serves as the ridge capping, in place. The edges of this exterior material 3 are deliberately shown with dotted lines to allow the structure on the back side to be seen. [Examples]

[0028] In the mounting structure of Embodiment 2 shown in Figure 4(b), the external member 3' is fixed with metal fittings, and everything else is exactly the same as in Embodiment 1, so the same reference numerals are used in the drawings and the explanation is omitted. [Examples]

[0029] In the mounting structure of Embodiment 3 shown in Figure 4(c), the reinforcing material 2' used is a long material that reaches the end, but the material and other aspects are exactly the same, and the external material 3 is the same as in Embodiment 1, so the same reference numerals are used in the drawings and their explanation is omitted.
