DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given of an embodiment of the fastening fitting according to the present invention with reference to the drawings.

[0014] (First embodiment) First, a fastening fitting 1 according to the first embodiment will be described. As shown in Fig. 1, the fastening fitting 1 is for connecting a first plate-like member and a second plate-like member, for example, for connecting a first liner plate 8 and a second liner plate 9.

[0015] The first liner plate 8 has a corrugated steel plate formed into a corrugated shape in the vertical direction, and flanges 81 as first plate-like members at the upper end, lower end and both side ends of the corrugated steel plate. The flanges 81 have first through holes 82 formed therein.

[0016] The second liner plate 9 has a corrugated steel plate formed into a corrugated shape in the vertical direction, and flanges 91 as second plate-like members at the upper end, lower end and both side ends of the corrugated steel plate. The flanges 91 have second through holes 92 formed therein.

[0017] The fastening fitting 1 comprises a bolt 2 , a nut 30 , a base 4 , and a rod-shaped member 5 .

[0018] The bolt 2 has a shaft portion 21 formed in a threaded shape on the circumferential surface, a head portion 22 disposed on one end side of the shaft portion 21, and a base portion 4. A nut 30 is screwed onto the shaft portion 21 of the bolt 2. A washer 23 is provided on the head portion 22 of the bolt 2. A washer 31 is provided on the nut 30. For example, a Zessner bolt having a larger thread pitch than a normal bolt is preferably used as the bolt 2. For example, a high nut having a higher height than a normal hexagonal nut is preferably used as the nut 30. By using a high nut as the nut 30, it becomes easier to hold the nut by hand when screwing it onto the bolt 2.

[0019] The base 4 is made of a steel plate or the like, and is provided on the head 22. The base 4 is formed with a through hole 41 into which the rod-shaped member 5 is inserted.

[0020] The rod-shaped member 5 is provided in the head 22 of the bolt 2 and extends in a direction intersecting, for example, perpendicular to, the axis of the bolt 2. The rod-shaped member 5 is slidably inserted into a through hole 41 formed in the base 4 in the direction of the arrow S in FIG. 3. The rod-shaped member 5 has a first enlarged diameter portion 51 at one end portion, which is enlarged in diameter than the through hole, and a second enlarged diameter portion 52 at the other end portion opposite the one end portion, which is enlarged in diameter than the through hole. The first enlarged diameter portion 51 and the second enlarged diameter portion 52 are enlarged in diameter in the vertical direction.

[0021] The first enlarged diameter portion 51 and the second enlarged diameter portion 52 in the present invention may be enlarged in a direction perpendicular to the up-down direction. The first enlarged diameter portion 51 and the second enlarged diameter portion 52 in the present invention may be formed using rivets, bolts, or the like. They may also be formed by welding to have a larger diameter than the through hole 41. The first enlarged diameter portion 51 and the second enlarged diameter portion 52 in the present invention may be formed in a spherical shape, or the like.

[0022] Next, a method for fastening liner plates using the fastening fitting 1 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0023] First, in the method for fastening the liner plates, as shown in Fig. 4(a), the shaft portion 21 of the bolt 2 is inserted into the first through hole 82 and the second through hole 92. At this time, the washer 23 is in contact with the flange 81. Then, the washer 31 and the nut 30 are attached to the shaft portion 21 of the bolt 2. At this time, the worker may hold the head portion 22 of the bolt 2 while screwing the nut 30.

[0024] Next, in the method of fastening the liner plates, as shown in Fig. 4(b), the worker holds the nut 30 with his / her hand or a tool and rotates the rod-shaped member 5 around the axis of the bolt 2. This makes it possible to obtain a larger torque. This makes it possible to ensure a sufficient fastening force between the liner plates.

[0025] This completes the method for fastening the liner plates.

[0026] According to this embodiment, the fastening fitting 1 for connecting the first liner plate 8 in which the first through hole 82 is formed and the second liner plate 9 in which the second through hole 92 is formed includes a bolt 2 that can be inserted into the first through hole 82 and the second through hole 92, a nut 30 that is screwed onto the shaft portion 21 of the bolt 2, and a rod-shaped member 5. This allows the rod-shaped member 5 to rotate around the axis of the bolt 2. This makes it possible to obtain a larger torque and ensure a sufficient fastening force between the liner plates.

[0027] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the work of clamping the clamping part to the flange or removing it from the liner plate, as in conventional metal fittings, is not required. In addition, by rotating the rod-shaped member 5 around the axis of the bolt 2, a larger torque can be obtained. This makes it possible to omit the work of striking with a dedicated tool, hammer, impact wrench, or other striking means. This makes it possible to reduce noise during construction.

[0028] According to this embodiment, the bolt 2 has a base 4 provided on the head 22, the base 4 is formed with a through hole 41 into which the rod-shaped member 5 is inserted, and the rod-shaped member 5 is slidably inserted into the through hole 41. This makes it possible to prevent the rod-shaped member 5 from coming into contact with the corrugated steel plate disposed approximately perpendicular to the flanges 81, 91 of the liner plates 8, 9 when the rod-shaped member 5 is rotated about the axis of the bolt 2. This makes it possible to ensure a sufficient length of the rod-shaped member 5, and makes it possible to easily rotate the rod-shaped member 5 about the axis of the bolt 2.

[0029] According to this embodiment, the rod-shaped member 5 has at one end a first enlarged diameter portion 51 having a diameter larger than that of the through hole 41. This makes it difficult for the rod-shaped member 5 to fall out of the through hole 41. This makes it easier to fasten the liner plates.

[0030] According to this embodiment, the rod-shaped member 5 has a first enlarged diameter portion 51 at one end, the diameter of which is larger than that of the through hole 41, and a second enlarged diameter portion 52 at the other end, the diameter of which is larger than that of the through hole 41. This makes it possible to prevent the rod-shaped member 5 from falling out of the through hole 41. This makes it possible to more easily perform the work of fastening the liner plates.

[0031] According to this embodiment, a Zessner bolt is used as the bolt 2. This eliminates the need to rotate the nut many times as with a normal bolt nut. This makes it easier to fasten the liner plate.

[0032] Next, modified examples of the fastening fitting 1 according to the first embodiment will be described. As shown in Fig. 5(a), the fastening fitting 1 may omit the second enlarged diameter portion 52. Also, as shown in Fig. 5(b), the fastening fitting 1 may omit the first enlarged diameter portion 51 and the second enlarged diameter portion 52. In this case, the rod-shaped member 5 is, for example, a rod material that extends to a predetermined diameter.

[0033] Second embodiment Next, the fastening fitting 1 according to the second embodiment will be described. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the fastening fitting 1 includes a bolt 2, a nut 30, and a base 4. The fastening fitting 1 according to the second embodiment differs from the fastening fitting 1 according to the first embodiment in that a rod-shaped member 5 is not provided in advance in the through hole 41.

[0034] In the fastening fitting 1 according to the second embodiment, the base 4 is made of a steel plate or the like and is provided on the head 22. The base 4 is formed with a through hole 41 into which a rod-shaped member 5 is inserted. The through hole 41 is capable of receiving a rod-shaped member such as a splint.

[0035] Next, a method for fastening liner plates using the fastening fitting 1 according to the second embodiment will be described.

[0036] First, in the method for fastening the liner plates, as shown in Fig. 8(a), the shaft portion 21 of the bolt 2 is inserted into the first through hole 82 and the second through hole 92. At this time, the washer 23 is in contact with the flange 81. Then, the washer 31 and the nut 30 are attached to the shaft portion 21 of the bolt 2. At this time, the worker may hold the head portion 22 of the bolt 2 while screwing the nut 30.

[0037] Next, in the method of fastening the liner plates, as shown in Fig. 8(b), a rod-shaped member 7 such as a spline is inserted into the through hole 41 of the base 4. Then, the worker holds the nut 30 by hand or with a tool, and rotates the rod-shaped member 7 around the axis of the bolt 2. This makes it possible to obtain a larger torque. This makes it possible to ensure a sufficient fastening force between the liner plates.

[0038] This completes the method for fastening the liner plates.

[0039] According to this embodiment, a fastening fitting 1 for connecting a first liner plate 8 in which a first through hole 82 is formed and a second liner plate 9 in which a second through hole 92 is formed is provided with a bolt 2 that can be inserted into the first through hole 82 and the second through hole 92, and a nut 30 that is screwed onto a shaft portion 21 of the bolt 2. The bolt 2 has a base portion 4 provided on a head portion 22, and the base portion 4 has a through hole 41 formed therein. This allows a rod-shaped member 7 such as a spline to be inserted into the through hole 41 of the base portion 4. Therefore, the rod-shaped member 7 can be rotated around the axis of the bolt 2, and a larger torque can be obtained. This makes it possible to sufficiently secure the fastening force between the liner plates.

[0040] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the work of clamping the clamping part to the flange or removing it from the liner plate, as in conventional metal fittings, is not required. In addition, by rotating the rod-shaped member 7 around the axis of the bolt 2, a larger torque can be obtained. This makes it possible to omit the work of striking with a dedicated tool, hammer, impact wrench, or other striking means. This makes it possible to reduce noise during construction.

[0041] In the above embodiment, the fastening fitting 1 has been described as a fastening fitting for fastening liner plates, but it can be embodied as a fastening fitting for plate-like members other than liner plates.

[0042] Although some of the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. In addition, these embodiments can be implemented in appropriate combinations. Furthermore, the present invention can be implemented in various new forms in addition to the above-mentioned several embodiments. Therefore, each of the above-mentioned several embodiments can be variously omitted, replaced, and modified without departing from the gist of the present invention. Such new forms and modifications are included in the scope and gist of the present invention, and are included in the scope of the invention described in the claims and the equivalents of the invention described in the claims.
