[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2007-120049 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2012-92595 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] For example, outdoor installation structures such as beams installed outdoors between facing exterior walls in a recess in a building, beams installed between the exterior wall of a building and an exterior wall surrounding a garden, or installation structures arranged to be installed on the upper edge of an opening formed in an exterior wall surrounding a loggia, need to maintain the design of the underside, since users of the building often look up at them from below.

[0006] The lower part of these outdoor erection structures is made by arranging two exterior materials with L-shaped cross sections so that the tips of the lower plate parts face each other, and a subjoint is formed on the underside along the length of the outdoor erection structure. If there are any unevenness on both sides of the subjoint, it will cause a problem that the design of the underside will be reduced.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide an unevenness adjustment fitting capable of adjusting unevenness on the underside of an outdoor installation structure, an outdoor installation structure using such an unevenness adjustment fitting, and a method for adjusting unevenness. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The unevenness adjustment fitting of the present invention is an unevenness adjustment fitting for adjusting unevenness between the horizontal parts of an outdoor installation structure in which two exterior materials each having a vertical part formed by extending vertically and a horizontal part extending horizontally from the lower end of the vertical part are fixed to an installation formed between the vertical parts, and the tips of the horizontal parts are arranged to face each other with a base joint in between, the unevenness adjustment fitting comprising a vertical flat fixing part fixed to the back surface of the vertical part of one of the exterior materials, and a horizontal part formed by extending horizontally from the lower end of the fixing part and fixed to the horizontal part of one of the exterior materials. the upper surface of the horizontal portion; an elastic member having a pressing portion whose base end is connected to the pressing portion and whose tip is formed with a downward inclination toward the tip, and which has a threaded operating hole located deep inside the subjoint and can abut against the upper surface of the horizontal portion; and an operating bolt whose head is located in the subjoint and which screws into the operating hole to adjust the distance between the lower plate portion and the tip of the pressing portion.

[0009] The unevenness adjusting fitting of the present invention is characterized in that the base member further has an abutment portion that is bent upward from the tip of the lower plate portion and has an upper end that abuts against the underside of the erected body.

[0010] The unevenness adjustment fitting of the present invention is characterized in that the elastic member further has a receiving portion formed in contact with the underside of the lower plate portion, and in which an abutment hole is formed against which the tip of the operating bolt abuts.

[0011] The outdoor installation structure of the present invention is an outdoor installation structure with at least both sides and the bottom facing the outdoors, and is characterized in that it comprises an installation body installed outdoors of a building, a vertical section extending vertically, and a horizontal section extending horizontally from the lower end of the vertical section, the vertical sections being arranged on both sides of the installation body and fixed to the installation body, two exterior materials arranged so that the tips of the horizontal sections face each other across a sub-joint, and any of the above-mentioned unevenness adjustment fittings.

[0012] In the outdoor installation structure of the present invention, the installation body is an H-shaped steel beam, and the exterior material mounting bracket further comprises a horizontal mounting portion that is attached to the upper flange of the installation body, and a hanging portion that bends from the end of the mounting portion, hangs down to the side of the installation body, and is fixed by abutting against the back surface of the vertical portion of the exterior material, and the exterior material mounting bracket is characterized in that the angle between the mounting portion and the hanging portion is acute so that the lower end of the hanging portion is closer to the installation body than the upper end.

[0013] The outdoor installation structure of the present invention is characterized in that the back surface of the vertical part of the exterior material has two upper and lower grooves with C-shaped steel embedded horizontally, and a mounting plate with a screw hole is held in each of the grooves, and the hanging part has mounting holes formed at positions overlapping with the screw holes of each mounting plate, and mounting bolts are tightened into the screw holes through the mounting holes to fix the exterior material to the hanging part, and a cushioning material is formed on the surface of the hanging part facing the installation body around the mounting holes, the cushioning material having a storage hole large enough to store the head of the mounting bolt.

[0014] The outdoor installation structure of the present invention is characterized in that the mounting bolts are extremely low head bolts.

[0015] The unevenness adjustment method of the present invention is an unevenness adjustment method for adjusting unevenness in the horizontal portion of one of the exterior materials of any of the above-mentioned outdoor installation structures, and is characterized in that the operating bolt is rotated to move the pressing portion of the elastic member in a direction away from the lower plate portion of the base member, and the horizontal portion of the one exterior material abutting the pressing portion is pressed downward to move it, and is aligned flush with the horizontal portion of the other adjacent exterior material. Effect of the Invention

[0016] According to the unevenness adjustment fittings of the present invention, the lower plate portion of the base member is formed with a gap between it and the upper surface of the horizontal plane of one of the exterior materials, and the lower plate portion is screwed into an operating hole formed in the tip of the pressing portion of the elastic member which is engaged with the lower plate portion. By rotating the operating bolt whose head is located in the base joint, the tip of the pressing portion deforms in a direction away from the lower plate portion, and the horizontal portion of one of the exterior materials is pressed against the pressing portion and displaced downwards, thereby adjusting the unevenness with the horizontal portion of the other adjacent exterior material.

[0017] According to the unevenness adjustment fitting of the present invention, the abutment portion of the base member is bent upward from the tip of the lower plate portion with the upper end abutting the underside of the erected body. Therefore, when the operating bolt is rotated to elastically deform the pressing portion, the abutment portion abuts the underside of the erected body, so that the lower plate portion is not displaced upward, and the pressing portion can reliably elastically deform downward, thereby displacing one of the exterior materials downward.

[0018] According to the unevenness adjustment fitting of the present invention, it has a receiving portion that abuts against the underside of the lower plate portion and has an abutment hole against which the tip of the operating bolt abuts.Therefore, when the operating bolt is rotated, the tip of the operating bolt is prevented from shifting, the operating bolt can be maintained in an appropriate position, and the pressing portion can be elastically deformed appropriately.

[0019] According to the outdoor installation structure of the present invention, in an outdoor installation structure in which both sides and the underside are arranged facing the outdoors, the unevenness of the sub-joints formed on the underside can be adjusted by the above-mentioned unevenness adjustment fittings, thereby preventing a decrease in the design of the outdoor installation structure that is arranged in a position that can be looked up at from below.

[0020] According to the outdoor installation structure of the present invention, the angle between the mounting part of the exterior material mounting bracket and the hanging part is an acute angle, so that the two exterior materials fixed to both sides of the installation body are arranged so that their vertical parts approach each other downward and the tips of the horizontal parts approach slightly to narrow the width of the base joint. By fixing the exterior materials at a slight angle in this way, even if one horizontal part moves away from the other horizontal part and is displaced in the direction of widening the base joint when the operating bolt of the unevenness adjustment bracket is rotated to deform the pressing part and a downward load is applied to the tip of the horizontal part, it is possible to prevent the width of the base joint from widening significantly, and to prevent a decrease in the design of the outdoor installation structure due to the widening of the width of the base joint.

[0021] According to the outdoor installation structure of the present invention, a cushioning material is formed around the mounting hole of the hanging portion, and the head of the mounting bolt is stored in the storage hole of this cushioning material, thereby preventing the head of the mounting bolt from colliding with the erected structure, and preventing the generation of abnormal noise and the loosening of the mounting bolt.

[0022] According to the outdoor installation structure of the present invention, the mounting bolts are extremely low head bolts, so that even if the distance between the hanging portion and the installation body is short, the outdoor installation structure can be formed without the bolt heads of the mounting bolts interfering with the installation body.

[0023] According to the unevenness adjustment method of the present invention, the operating bolt is rotated from the base joint and the pressing portion of the elastic member is moved in a direction away from the lower plate portion of the base member, thereby pressing and moving the horizontal portion of one of the exterior materials that abuts the pressing portion downward and aligning it flush with the horizontal portion of the other adjacent exterior material.Therefore, with the two exterior materials attached, unevenness on both sides of the base joint can be adjusted with an extremely simple operation.

[0025] Hereinafter, embodiments of the unevenness adjustment fitting 1, outdoor installation structure 2, and unevenness adjustment method according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The outdoor installation structure 2 is a structure arranged with at least both sides and a bottom surface facing the outdoors, and is a structure formed in a building such as a house. Examples of the outdoor installation structure 2 include a beam installed outdoors between facing exterior walls in a recess formed in a plan view of the building, a beam installed between the exterior wall and the exterior wall of a building when the exterior wall is formed to surround a garden formed adjacent to the building, and an installation structure arranged to be installed on the upper edge of an opening formed in an exterior wall surrounding a loggia.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 1, the outdoor installation structure 2 comprises an installation body 3 that forms part of the structural frame, two exterior materials 4 covering the sides and underside of the installation body 3, two exterior material mounting brackets 5 that attach the two exterior materials 4 to the installation body 3, two unevenness adjustment brackets 1 that adjust the unevenness of the two exterior materials 4 in the downward direction, two frames 10 that are joined to the top surface of the installation body 3, two upper exterior materials 11 that are arranged adjacent to the upper sides of the two exterior materials 4 so as to cover the sides of the frames 10, and a culvert 12 that covers the upper ends of the two upper exterior materials 11.

[0027] As shown in Fig. 4, the erection body 3 is an H-shaped steel formed by connecting upper and lower flanges 30, 31 with a web 32. The upper flange 30 of the erection body 3 is provided with a through hole for attaching an exterior material mounting bracket 5. The erection body 3 is integrated with the structural frame of the building and can bear the horizontal load of, for example, an exterior wall (not shown).

[0028] The exterior material 4 is a plate material covering the side and bottom of the erected body 3. The exterior material 4 has a vertical portion 40 formed by extending vertically, and a horizontal portion 41 extending horizontally from the lower end of the vertical portion 40 and extending downward to the erected body 3, and is formed with an L-shaped cross section. The surface of the vertical portion 40 of the exterior material 4 is provided with an uneven pattern. The exterior material 4 is made of concrete, for example, and on the back surface of the vertical portion 40, two C-shaped steel bars are embedded horizontally parallel to each other at the top and bottom, and the openings are exposed from the back surface to form a groove portion 42. Here, the front surface refers to the surface exposed to the outdoors, and the back surface refers to the surface opposite the front surface, which faces the erected body 3. The exterior materials 4 are arranged on both sides of the erected body 3, and the tips of the horizontal portions 41 of the two exterior materials 4 are arranged facing each other with a gap between them, and a base joint 13 is formed between the two horizontal portions 41.

[0029] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the exterior material mounting bracket 5 is formed by bending a plate-shaped steel material, and has a horizontal flat mounting part 50 that is attached to the upper flange 30 of the installation body 3, and a hanging part 51 that is bent from the end of the mounting part 50 and hangs down to the side of the installation body 3. The mounting part 50 is provided with a fixing hole 52 that is long in the length direction of the installation body 3. A back nut clip 34 that clamps the flange 30 on the upper side of the installation body 3 and fixes a nut to the underside of the flange 30 is attached to the flange 30 on the upper side of the installation body 3, and the back nut clip 34 is arranged to overlap with a through hole formed in the upper flange 30 of the installation body 3. Then, the mounting part 50 of the exterior material mounting bracket 5 is placed on the upper flange 30 of the installation body 3, and the fixing bolt 53 is screwed into the nut of the back nut clip 34 through an insertion hole provided in the lower chord material of the frame 10 placed on the mounting part 50, a fixing hole 52 formed in the mounting part 50, and the through hole of the flange 30, thereby fixing the mounting part 50 to the flange 30 of the installation body 3.

[0030] Hanging portion 51 has mounting holes 54 formed at two locations, one at the top and one at the bottom. Mounting holes 54 are elongated holes that are long in the vertical direction. Support arms 55 are formed at the side ends of hanging portion 51 across upper mounting hole 54, and are inserted into grooves 42 of exterior material 4 to support exterior material 4. Around lower mounting hole 54, cushion material 58 is formed on the surface facing erection body 3, having storage holes 57 large enough to store the heads of mounting bolts 56. Mounting plates 15 having screw holes 14 are disposed in upper and lower grooves 42 of exterior material 4, respectively, and exterior material 4 is fixed to hanging portion 51 by inserting mounting bolts 56 into upper and lower mounting holes 54 of hanging portion 51, respectively, and screwing and tightening them into screw holes 14 of mounting plates 15. Cushioning material 58 formed around mounting hole 54 is made of elastic material, such as resin, and can prevent hanging portion 51 and the head of mounting bolt 56 from colliding with erected body 3, thereby preventing the generation of abnormal noise and loosening of mounting bolt 56. Mounting bolt 56 is an extremely low head bolt with a head height of 1.5 mm or less. Being an extremely low head bolt, interference with lower flange 31 of erected body 3 can be further prevented.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 3, the exterior material mounting bracket 5 has an acute angle α between the mounting portion 50 and the hanging portion 51 on the side of the erection body 3. Specifically, the angle α between the mounting portion 50 and the hanging portion 51 is approximately 89 degrees. The mounting portion 50 is arranged horizontally along the upper surface of the upper flange 30 of the erection body 3, so that the hanging portion 51 is formed with its lower end slightly inclined from the vertical in the direction approaching the erection body 3. This causes the width of the base joint 13 formed between the horizontal portions 41 of the exterior material 4 to be slightly narrowed, so that even if the exterior material 4 is displaced in a direction in which the base joint 13 is slightly widened by performing the unevenness adjustment of the exterior material 4 described later, it is possible to suppress the impairment of the design of the underside of the outdoor erection structure 2. Although the vertical portion 40 of the exterior material 4 and the fixing portion 60 of the unevenness adjustment bracket 1 described later are described as being vertical, they are actually approximately vertical, inclined about 1 degree from the vertical, because they are fixed using the exterior material mounting bracket 5.

[0032] As shown in Fig. 9, the unevenness adjustment fitting 1 includes a base member 6 fixed to a lower groove 42 formed on the back surface of the vertical part 40 of the exterior material 4, an elastic member 7 that is engaged with the base member 6 and is elastically deformable so as to press downward the upper surface of the horizontal part 41 of the exterior material 4, and an operating bolt 8 for operating the elastic member 7. The outdoor installation structure 2 has two unevenness adjustment fittings 1, which are fixed to the vertical part 40 of one exterior material 4 and the vertical part 40 of the other exterior material 4, respectively. Note that, for convenience of illustration, Figs. 9 to 11 show a state in which the unevenness adjustment fitting 1 is fixed to the exterior material 4 on the left side of the figure, and Fig. 12 shows a state in which the unevenness adjustment fitting 1 is fixed to the exterior material 4 on the right side of the figure, but the respective unevenness adjustment fittings 1 are fixed at different positions in the length direction of the outdoor installation structure 2.

[0033] As shown in Figs. 5 and 9, the base member 6 has a vertical flat-plate-like fixing part 60 fixed to the lower groove part 42 formed on the back surface of the vertical part 40 of the exterior material 4, a lower plate part 61 formed by extending horizontally from the lower end of the fixing part 60 and forming a gap between the upper surface of the horizontal part 41 of one of the exterior materials 4, and an abutting part 62 bent upward from the tip of the lower plate part 61 and the upper end abutting the lower surface of the flange 31 on the lower side of the erection body 3. The fixing part 60 has a bolt hole 63 penetrating through it at approximately the center. A retaining bolt 64 is inserted into the bolt hole 63, and the retaining bolt 64 is screwed and tightened into the screw hole 14 of the mounting plate 15 inserted into the groove part 42 to fix the unevenness adjustment fitting 1, thereby fixing the base member 6 to the lower groove part 42 of the exterior material 4. The lower plate part 61 has a rectangular opening 65 for engaging the elastic member 7. The base member 6 is fixed in a stable posture by having the fixing portion 60 fixed in the groove portion 42 on the lower side of the exterior material 4 and the tip of the abutment portion 62 abutting against the lower surface of the flange 31 on the lower side of the installation body 3.

[0034] As shown in Figures 6, 7 and 9, the elastic member 7 is formed by processing a single spring steel plate, and has a locking portion 70 that locks into an opening 65 provided in the lower plate portion 61 of the base member 6, a receiving portion 71 that is formed horizontally from the locking portion 70 along the underside of the lower plate portion 61 and has a bent tip, and a pressing portion 73 that has a threaded operating hole 72 that is fixed at its base end to the locking portion 70 and is positioned at the back of the base joint 13 at its tip and can abut against the upper surface of the horizontal portion 41 of the exterior material 4.

[0035] The locking portions 70 are formed on both side edges of the elastic member 7, and are formed in a hook shape that abuts against the upper surface of the lower plate portion 61. The receiving portion 71 is flat, extending horizontally from the base end of the locking portion 70 and abutting against the lower surface of the lower plate portion 61, with a large opening in the center and a pressing portion 73 formed inside. The tip side of the receiving portion 71 is folded back upward to form a double layer, and a receiving hole 74 with a diameter that allows the operation bolt 8 to be inserted is formed in the lower plate of the double layer, and an abutment hole 75 is formed in the upper plate against which the tip of the operation bolt 8 abuts so that the tip of the operation bolt 8 is kept in an appropriate position.

[0036] The pressing portion 73 has one end connected to the base end of the locking portion 70 and extends obliquely downward from the opening of the receiving portion 71. Ribs 76 are formed on both side edges of the pressing portion 73 to reinforce the pressing portion 73. As shown in FIG. 8(A), the tip end of the pressing portion 73 is burred to form an operation hole 72 into which the operating bolt 8 is screwed. When the operating bolt 8, which is screwed into the operation hole 72 of the pressing portion 73 and whose tip end abuts against the abutment hole 75 of the receiving portion 71, is rotated, the base end side of the pressing portion 73 is elastically deformed and the tip end of the pressing portion 73 moves downward as shown in FIG. 8(B).

[0037] As shown in FIG. 1, the two frames 10 are formed of C-shaped steel in a rectangular frame shape, and are bolted to the upper flange 30 of the erection body 3. The two upper exterior materials 11 are formed on flat plates, and are fixed to the frame 10 via fixing hardware (not shown). The capping 12 is formed with an upper surface portion 16 and a hanging portion 17 hanging down from both side edges, and is formed so as to cover the upper ends of the two upper exterior materials 11 and the upper surface of the frame 10. The outdoor erection structure 2 has an upper surface formed by the capping 12, both side surfaces formed by the upper exterior material 11 and the vertical portion 40 of the exterior material 4, and a lower surface formed by the horizontal portion 41 of the exterior material 4. The outdoor erection structure 2 of the present invention may be formed by covering the upper end of the vertical portion 40 of the exterior material 4 with the capping 12 without using the upper exterior material 11.

[0038] In the unevenness adjustment method for adjusting the unevenness between the horizontal parts 41 of the two exterior materials 4 constituting the underside of the outdoor erection structure 2 configured as described above, when the horizontal part 41 of one of the two exterior materials 4 is located at a higher position than the horizontal part 41 of the other exterior material 4, a tool is inserted through the bottom joint 13 to rotate the operation bolt 8 of the unevenness adjustment fitting 1 fixed to the vertical part 40 of one of the exterior materials 4, as shown in FIG. 10. When the operation bolt 8 is rotated, the pressing part 73 to which the operation bolt 8 is screwed is elastically deformed so that the tip side is lowered downward as the operation bolt 8 is rotated, as shown in FIG. 11. Since the pressing part 73 abuts on the upper surface of the tip of the horizontal part 41 of one of the exterior materials 4, when the pressing part 73 is lowered downward, a downward load is applied to the tip of the horizontal part 41 of the exterior material 4. This allows the horizontal material to be displaced downward, and the unevenness can be adjusted by aligning it flush with the horizontal part 41 of the other adjacent exterior material 4.

[0039] 12, when the horizontal portion 41 of the other exterior material 4 is positioned higher than the horizontal portion 41 of one exterior material 4, the unevenness can be adjusted by rotating the operating bolt 8 of the unevenness adjustment fitting 1 that is similarly fixed to the vertical portion 40 of the other exterior material 4, thereby displacing the horizontal portion 41 of the other exterior material 4 downward. In this way, the unevenness adjustment method of this embodiment can extremely easily adjust the unevenness between the horizontal portions 41 by simply rotating the operating bolt 8 arranged in the base joint 13.

[0040] It goes without saying that the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the scope of the concept of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]

[0041] The unevenness adjustment fitting 1, outdoor installation structure 2, and unevenness adjustment method of the present invention are suitable as an outdoor installation structure 2 to be installed, for example, between the exterior wall and outdoor wall of a building in a space where an outdoor wall is provided to enclose a garden to block views from outside.
