AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing connecting fittings that connect the ends of axial members obliquely arranged with respect to a horizontal member, such as a beam, are structurally complex and aesthetically unappealing, particularly when used in exposed structures.

Method used

A simplified connecting fitting system comprising a first fitting attached to a connection target surface and a second fitting attached to the ends of axial members, utilizing a single-piece second fitting that is coupled to the first fitting through a shaft member, with additional fixing and coupling plates to secure the connection.

Benefits of technology

The simplified structure enhances the aesthetic appeal of the connection by minimizing exposed components and improves workability by eliminating the need for angled cuts on the axial members, while maintaining a strong and stable joint.

Abstract

To provide a connecting fitting and a building that allows for a simplified structure of the connecting fitting. [Solution] The first connecting fitting 100 is a metal fitting used in a building 1 to connect a first shaft member 30, which is positioned diagonally to the surface 21 of the connecting part 20, and a second shaft member 40, which is also positioned diagonally to the surface 21 of the connecting part 20. The first connecting fitting 100 comprises a first fitting attached to the surface 21 of the connecting part 21, and a second fitting attached to the end of the first shaft member 30 and to the end of the second shaft member 40. The second fitting is connected to the first fitting.
