[Diagram 3] FIG. 3A is a plan view and a side view showing the configuration of a water stopping device, and FIG. [Figure 4] 10 is a schematic diagram showing the function of the water stopping device as viewed from the side. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] An embodiment of a water stop device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the side where the second packing 32 is attached to the water stop plate 3 will be described as the back surface 1b of the water stop device 1, and the opposite side will be described as the front surface 1a of the water stop device 1. The mounting fixtures 2 are arranged in pairs on both the left and right sides of the water stop plate 3, but since the pair of mounting fixtures 2 are symmetrical, only the mounting fixture 2 on the right side will be described.

[0011] The water stop device 1 shown in Figures 1 to 3 is composed of a mullion 4 that is detachably installed at the entrance E of a building, a water stop plate 3 that blocks the entrance E to prevent water from entering, a mounting fixture 2 that attaches the water stop plate 3 to the mullion 4, and a frame 5 on which the water stop plate 3 is placed. In Figure 1, the water stop device 1 is installed inside the entrance E, but it is also possible to install the water stop device 1 outside the entrance E. In this case, when installed inside the entrance E, the front surface 1a is installed so that it faces inside the building, and when installed outside the entrance E, the front surface 1a is installed so that it faces outside the building.

[0012] The mullions 4 function as pillars supporting the waterstop 3. In addition, a frame 5 on which the waterstop 3 is placed is provided below the mullions 4. Note that the mullions 4 can be made of square pillars, square pipes, extrusion-molded members, etc.

[0013] The waterstop 3 is composed of a main body 33, a first packing 31 attached to the bottom surface 33b of the main body 33, and a second packing 32 attached to the area where the waterstop 3 abuts against the upright 4. The first packing 31 is pressed against the frame 5, and the second packing 32 is pressed against the upright 4, so that the waterstop 3 is tightly attached to the upright 4 and the frame 5 via the first packing 31 and the second packing 32, and water intrusion can be reliably prevented. The first packing 31 and the second packing 32 are made of a flexible material such as rubber or resin. It is also possible to attach a handle (not shown) for carrying to the top surface 33a of the main body 33.

[0014] The mounting device 2 is composed of a main body 21, a bolt 24 with a knob 24a as an operating part for operating the waterstop 3 in the vertical direction, a fixing piece 25 fixed to the waterstop 3, and a headed protrusion 26 fixed to the waterstop 3 and loosely fitted into a restricting hole. At this time, the head 26a of the protrusion 26 acts as a member to prevent the main body 21 from coming off. A bolt screwed into the waterstop 3 can be used as the protrusion 26.

[0015] The fixing pieces 25 are metal pieces having a generally L-shaped cross section, fixed to both side surfaces of the waterstop 3 so that the bottom side of the L shape becomes the top surface 25a. At this time, the top surface 25a is fixed so as to be in the same plane as the top surface 33a of the main body 33 of the waterstop 3. Furthermore, a slit-shaped retaining hole 25b is formed in the top surface 25a, and the retaining hole 25b retains the bolt 24 so that it can move horizontally toward the front surface 1a or the rear surface 1b.

[0016] The body 21 of the mounting fixture 2 is formed with a hook 22 that is hooked into a slit 41 formed in the mullion 4, and a restriction hole 23 that restricts the moving direction of the waterstop 3 is opened at the base end of the hook 22. The restriction hole 23 includes a curved portion 23a that curves from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction.

[0017] A groove 21a is formed at the upper end of the main body 21 to receive a bolt 24 with a knob 24a, and a nut 21b is formed in the groove 21a to screw in the bolt 24. The bolt 24 is inserted into a retaining hole 25b of the fixing piece 25 and screwed into the nut 21b.

[0018] The mullion 4 is provided with a slit 41 that receives the hook 22 so as to be vertically movable. The slit 41 is formed long in the vertical direction, and the upper end of the slit 41 engages with the hook-shaped portion 22a of the hook 22 when the waterstop 3 is in the attached state (see FIG. 4(b)).

[0019] Next, the operation of installing the water stop device 1 having the above-mentioned configuration will be described with reference to Fig. 4. First, as shown in Fig. 4(a), the water stop plate 3 is placed on the first packing 31, and the hook 22 is inserted into the slit 41 with the second packing 32 lightly abutting against the mullion 4. Then, when the knob 24a of the bolt 24 is rotated forward, the bolt 24 advances deeper into the groove 21a while threading into the nut 21b. Note that forward rotation refers to the direction in which the bolt 24 tightens, and reverse rotation refers to the direction in which the bolt 24 loosens.

[0020] At this time, bolt 24 is held by fixing piece 25 at the same height as top surface 33a of body 33 of waterstop 3. Therefore, body 21 is pulled up vertically relative to waterstop 3, and hook 22 engages with the upper end of slit 41. At this time, slit 41 allows hook 22 to move vertically, so does not prevent body 21 from moving vertically upward.

[0021] Next, when the knob 24a of the bolt 24 is further rotated in the forward direction while the hook 22 is engaged with the upper end of the slit 41, the waterstop 3 is pulled vertically downward relative to the main body 21, the first packing 31 is pressed vertically downward, and the waterstop 3 is tightly attached to the frame 5. At this time, the protrusion 26 inserted into the restriction hole 23 also moves vertically downward inside the restriction hole 23.

[0022] Since the restriction hole 23 is gradually curved in the horizontal direction toward the lower side, the water stop plate 3 also gradually curves in the horizontal direction with respect to the main body 21, that is, Back direction 2. The bolt 24 moves toward the mullion 4. At this time, since the bolt 24 is held by the holding hole 25b so as to be horizontally movable, the waterstop 3 does not hinder the horizontal movement of the waterstop 3.

[0023] When the knob 24a is turned sufficiently, the second packing 32 is pressed, and the waterstop 3 is brought into close contact with the mullion 4, as shown in Fig. 4(b). To release the waterstop 3, the knob 24a of the bolt 24 is turned in the reverse direction. Note that, in this embodiment, the protrusion 26 is moved to the end of the restriction hole 23, but it is sufficient that the first packing 31 and the second packing 32 are pressed to an appropriate degree to ensure waterproofing, and the installation can also be completed halfway through the restriction hole 23.

[0024] Therefore, according to this embodiment of the water stop device 1, mounting fixtures 2 are provided on both sides of the water stop plate 3, and regulating holes 23 are provided in the mounting fixtures 2 to regulate the movement direction of the water stop plate 3, and the regulating holes 23 are provided with curved portions 23a that curve from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction, so that the pressing force applied in the vertical direction can be changed to a horizontal pressing force, and pressing in multiple directions can be performed with a single operation.

[0025] Furthermore, since the fixing piece 25 that holds the bolt 24 is provided with a retaining hole 25b that allows the bolt 24 to move horizontally, the waterstop 3 is permitted to move horizontally and can reliably press the second gasket 32. Furthermore, a slit 41 for engaging the hook 22 is formed in the mullion 4, and since the slit 41 allows the hook 22 to move vertically, the hook 22 can be easily attached to and detached from the slit 41.

[0026] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the shape and configuration of each part can be appropriately modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
