DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0017] An embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter, the present embodiment) will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The drawings may show the width, thickness, shape, etc. of each part in a schematic manner compared to the actual embodiment, but they are merely examples and do not limit the interpretation of the present invention.

[0018] 1 is an external perspective view showing a temporary building 100 according to this embodiment. The temporary building 100 is preferably a log house constructed by piling up a plurality of wall logs using a log construction method or the like.

[0019] The temporary building 100 may be used, for example, as an office located near a construction site. After construction is completed, the temporary building 100 may be moved to the vicinity of another construction site. In order to move the temporary building 100, a plurality of wall log materials extracted by dismantling the temporary building 100 may be loaded onto the loading platform of a transport vehicle such as a truck and transported. The transported wall log materials may then be assembled near the construction site to be reused as an office.

[0020] When dismantled wall logs are transported, it would be advantageous to use a box to move multiple wall logs together so that they can be efficiently moved onto the truck bed. However, if a separate box capable of storing the wall logs is prepared, the amount of material increases.

[0021] Therefore, it is conceivable to combine some of the wall logs contained in the temporary building 100 to form a box capable of housing the wall logs. For example, the dimensions of the loading platform of a 4-ton truck are a total length of about 6 to 8 meters and a total width of about 2.2 meters. Therefore, it is advisable to form a box with a short side length of about 1.1 meters, and then line up two boxes in the width direction so that they can be loaded onto the loading platform of the truck.

[0022] However, most of the wall logs included in the temporary building 100 are about 4 to 6 meters long. In this embodiment, the temporary building 100 is a building with a width of about 9 meters in the front-to-back direction and a width of about 5 meters in the left-to-right direction. For this reason, it is difficult to use the wall logs included in the temporary building 100 to form a box of a size suitable for loading onto a 4-ton truck.

[0023] Therefore, in this embodiment, a box for transportation is formed using a log material different from the wall log material included in the temporary building 100. Specifically, the log material constituting the desks used in the temporary building 100 is used as the different log material.

[0024] In the following description, the entrance E side of the temporary building 100 will be referred to as the "front side," and the opposite side will be referred to as the "rear side." Additionally, the right side when looking from the rear to the front will be referred to as the "right side," and the left side when looking from the rear to the front will be referred to as the "left side."

[0025] Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a front wall as viewed from the front side. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a rear wall as viewed from the front side. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a partition wall as viewed from the front side. Note that notches are omitted from the illustration of each wall log material shown in Figs. 2 to 4.

[0026] The temporary building 100 includes a front wall 10, a rear wall 20, a partition wall 30, a front left wall 41L, a rear left wall 42L, a front right wall 41R, and a rear right wall 42R.

[0027] In this embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the longest long log material among the wall logs contained in the temporary building 100 is contained in the front wall 10, the rear wall 20, and the partition wall 30. In addition, wall logs contained in the temporary building 100 that are shorter than the long logs are called short logs. The short logs are log materials contained in the temporary building 100 other than the long logs.

[0028] Each wall log included in the temporary building 100 is a plate with a thickness of about 9 centimeters, and has at least a pair of notches spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction. The notches are portions in which grooves into which other logs are fitted are formed. Two wall logs are arranged to cross each other, and the notches are combined and joined together. The wall logs are stacked in the height direction to form the outer and inner walls of the temporary building 100. Note that, although the log has a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape in this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the log is not limited to this.

[0029] As shown in Fig. 2, the front wall 10 includes a plurality of wall logs stacked in the height direction. An opening that serves as an entrance E of the temporary building 100 is formed in the front wall 10. Of the wall logs included in the front wall 10, the long logs 11 are used above the entrance E. Specifically, the front wall 10 includes five long logs 11. In addition to the five long logs 11, the front wall 10 is composed of eight short logs 12.

[0030] As shown in Fig. 3, the rear wall 20 includes a plurality of wall logs stacked in the height direction. The rear wall 20 includes nine long logs 21. In addition to the nine long logs 21, the rear wall 20 is also composed of two short logs 22.

[0031] As shown in Fig. 4, the partition wall 30 includes a wall log material for dividing the space of the first floor in the front-rear direction, and a wall log material for dividing the space of the second floor in the front-rear direction. In the partition wall 30, the wall log material provided at the top of the first floor is a long log material 31. That is, the partition wall 30 includes one long log material 31. The partition wall 30 is composed of one long log material 31 and 18 short log materials 32.

[0032] As described above, the temporary building 100 includes 15 long logs B1 to B15. These 15 long logs preferably have a common shape and size.

[0033] Fig. 5 is a plan view showing the long log. As shown in Fig. 5, a pair of notches n1 spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction are formed in the long log 11, 21, 31, facing each other in the lateral direction. That is, four notches n1 are formed in the long log 11, 21, 31.

[0034] The length L1 of the long log material should be the longest among the wall log materials contained in the temporary building 100. The length L2 between the notched portions n1 of the long log material should be longer than any of the wall log materials contained in the temporary building 100. The length L2 is the length between the end faces that form the groove as shown in Fig. 5. Box B, which will be described later, can accommodate log materials that are shorter than the length L2.

[0035] FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing an example of a desk D installed in a temporary building 100. The desk D may be assembled using a method similar to the log construction method, similar to the temporary building 100. The desk D includes two legs and a support portion that supports the legs. Each of the two legs is made up of two leg logs D1. The support portion is made up of one support log D2. Therefore, the desk D is made up of four leg logs D1 and one support log D2. The desk D may have a tabletop that is placed on the leg logs D1, as shown by the dashed lines in FIG. 6.

[0036] FIG. 7 is a plan view showing the logs constituting the desk D. As shown in FIG. 7, one notch n2 is formed in the leg log D1. A pair of notches n2 spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction are formed in the supporting log D2, facing each other in the lateral direction. That is, four notches n2 are formed in the supporting log D2. The notches n2 may have the same shape and size as the notches n1 shown in FIG. 5.

[0037] The length L3 of the supporting log D2 should be shorter than any of the wall logs included in the temporary building 100. By using short logs as the side panels of the box B, the size of the box B can be prevented from increasing. In addition, the length L4 of the leg log D1 should be shorter than the length L3 of the supporting log D2. This prevents the depth of the desk D from becoming too long.

[0038] FIG. 8A is a perspective view showing an example of a box B for storing logs. FIG. 8B is an exploded perspective view showing an example of a box B for storing logs. FIGS. 8A and 8B show an example in which the box B, which is a storage member, is composed of four long logs 11, four box logs A1, and two supporting logs D2. The box logs A1 are logs in which a pair of notches are formed and which are prepared separately for forming a box. The longitudinal length of the box logs A1 is the same as the longitudinal length of the supporting logs D2, and the positions at which the notches are formed in the longitudinal direction are preferably the same. The box B may be assembled using a construction method similar to the log construction method, similar to the temporary building 100.

[0039] One of the side panels extending in the longitudinal direction of box B is made up of two long logs 11 (B1 and B2) stacked in the height direction. The other side panel extending in the longitudinal direction of box B is made up of two long logs 11 (B3 and B4) stacked in the height direction.

[0040] The long log material B1 and the long log material B2 are joined to each other via the supporting log material D2. The long log material B3 and the long log material B4 are joined to each other via the supporting log material D2.

[0041] Here, a procedure for assembling the box B will be described. First, the temporary building 100 and the desk B to be installed inside the temporary building 100 are dismantled, and a number of wall logs and furniture logs are taken out. In addition, the box log A1 is prepared separately.

[0042] Then, the box log A1 is placed so that the notch portion is located at the top, and the notch portion n1 of the long log 11 is inserted into the notch portion of the box log A1. In this state, the notch portion n1 is located at the top of the long log 11. Then, the notch portion n2 of the supporting log D2 is inserted into the notch portion n1 located at the top of the long log 11. In this state, the notch portion n2 is located at the top of the supporting log D2. Then, the notch portion n1 of the long log 11 is inserted into the notch portion n2 located at the top of the supporting log D2. In this state, the notch portion n1 is located at the top of the long log 11. Then, the notch portion of the box log A1 is inserted into the notch portion n1 located at the top of the long log 11. By carrying out the above operations at each intersection (corner) of the box B, the box B is formed.

[0043] In the state shown in Fig. 8A, the bottom and top of the box B are open. Therefore, it is preferable to provide a board to cover the bottom. In this case, the board may be fixed to the long log material 11 or the box log material A1 by nailing or the like. The board may be, for example, wood that constitutes the floor (not shown) of the first or second floor of the temporary building 100. It is preferable that the bottom is covered at least to the extent that no gap is formed through which the short log material can fall.

[0044] Four boxes similar to the box B shown in FIG. 8A may be formed. The second box may be, for example, composed of four long logs 11, 21 (B5-B8), four box logs A1, and two supporting logs D2. The third box may be, for example, composed of four long logs 21 (B9-B12), four box logs A1, and two supporting logs D2. The fourth box may be, for example, composed of three long logs 21, 31 (B13-B15), spare long logs, four box logs A1, and two supporting logs D2. The spare long logs may be logs of the same shape and size as the long logs 11. Eight supporting logs D2 are required to form four boxes B. Therefore, eight or more desks D may be installed in the temporary building 100.

[0045] In the temporary building 100 according to the present embodiment described above, an increase in the amount of material can be suppressed, and the box B can be formed to a size suitable for storage and transportation. Then, the box B containing the wall log materials can be loaded onto the bed of a truck and transported to the new location of the temporary building 100. Two boxes B can be loaded side by side in the width direction onto the bed of a 4-ton truck. The boxes B can be loaded onto the bed of the truck using a crane or the like. The box B also functions as a storage box before transportation. By storing multiple wall log materials together in the box B, the number of wall log materials can be appropriately managed and loss can be suppressed.

[0046] The multiple short logs contained in the temporary building 100 may be stored in any one of the four boxes B. In this embodiment, in order to form a box B capable of storing all the short logs, the longest long log among the multiple wall logs contained in the temporary building 100 is used as a side panel of the box B. However, the side panel of the box B is not limited to the longest wall log. When the longest log is not used as a side panel of the box B, the longest wall log may not be stored in the box B, but may be loaded separately onto the bed of a truck. Alternatively, the longest wall log may be stored in the box B at an angle.

[0047] In this embodiment, the side panels of the box B are made of furniture logs that form the desk D installed in the temporary building 100, but this is not limited to the above. Furniture logs that form furniture other than desks may also be used for the side panels of the box B. Furniture including furniture logs may be fixed to the temporary building 100, or may be movably installed without being fixed.

[0048] In the present embodiment, the box log A1 is prepared separately, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, logs constituting furniture to be installed in the temporary building 100 may be used instead of the box log A1.

[0049] In the present embodiment, the side panel of the box B is formed by stacking two long logs in the height direction, but this is not limiting. The side panel of the box B may be formed by one long log, or may be formed by stacking three or more long logs in the height direction. [Explanation of symbols]
