Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a roof panel used as a member constituting a small roof such as an eave.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, there is a honeycomb panel as that kind of roof panel. The honeycomb panel is formed by surrounding the side surface of a honeycomb core made of a metal foil with a frame body from four sides, and bonding a bottom plate to the bottom surface and a top plate to the top surface with an adhesive respectively, and the honeycomb core, the frame body, the bottom plate, and the top plate are integrated. The honeycomb core is a honeycomb-like structure having hexagonal cells, and the bottom plate and the top plate are made of an aluminum alloy plate or the like (for example, see Patent Document 1).

[0003] There are various forms of this kind of honeycomb panel. For example, there is a form in which the outer peripheral portions of the top plate and the bottom plate protrude outward from the frame body by the same width. When such a honeycomb panel is used for an eave, for example, on both side surfaces and the front surface, the top plate and the bottom plate protrude outward by a certain width, so the taste of the outer peripheral surface of the eave is enhanced, and the appearance of the entire eave is improved.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, since the above honeycomb panel is an integral unit as a whole, its weight and volume are large, and transportation, handling, and construction work at high places are not easy. Therefore, it is difficult to construct a large roof using the honeycomb panel, and there is a problem that a novel design cannot be given to a particularly large eave.

[0006] The present invention has been made paying attention to the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a roof panel that is easy to transport, handle, and perform construction work at high places, and can give a novel design even to a large roof.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] The roof panel according to the present invention has a panel body formed by connecting a plurality of plate materials in the width direction, and decorative outer frame members respectively attached to at least the left and right end faces of the panel body. The outer frame member includes a first protruding edge portion that protrudes outward by a certain width on the upper end side of the end face of the panel body, an end plate portion that is overlapped with the end face of the panel body and screwed, and a second protruding edge portion that protrudes outward by a certain width on the lower end side of the end face of the panel body.

[0008] In the roof panel according to the present invention, the panel body is not an integral object but is formed by connecting a plurality of plate materials, and decorative outer frame members are attached to each end face of the panel body to form the roof panel. Therefore, the constituent members of the roof panel can be disassembled and carried, and it is easy to transport, handle, and perform construction work at high places. Further, since the first and second protruding edge portions protrude outward from at least the left and right end faces of the panel body, the taste of the outer peripheral surface of the eaves is enhanced.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the outer frame member is attached to the left and right end faces and the front end face of the panel body respectively. In other embodiments, the outer frame member is attached to the left and right end faces and the front and rear end faces of the panel body respectively.

[0010] In a preferred roof panel of the present invention, the outer frame member further includes a cover plate portion that covers the screwed portion of the end plate portion.

[0011] According to this roof panel, since the screwed portion is covered by the cover plate portion, the screws are not visible from the outside and the aesthetic appearance is not deteriorated.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the outer frame member includes a first frame member integrally having an end plate portion and first and second flange portions, and a second frame member having a cover plate portion. The second frame member has a portion that is locked to the lower surface of the first flange portion at the upper end of the cover plate portion, and a portion that is locked to the upper surface of the second flange portion at the lower end of the cover plate portion.

[0013] In another preferred embodiment, the outer frame member includes a first frame member integrally having an end plate portion and a second flange portion, and a second frame member integrally having a first flange portion and a cover plate portion. The second frame member is screwed to a support plate portion integrally formed on the upper end portion of the end plate portion of the first frame member, and the lower edge of the cover plate portion is locked to either the second flange portion or the end plate portion of the first frame member.

[0014] In another roof panel according to the present invention, the outer frame member further includes at least one third flange portion that projects outward by a certain width between the first and second flange portions. Preferably, the outer frame member further includes a cover plate portion that covers the screwing portion of the end plate portion.

[0015] In another roof panel according to the present invention, since the first and second flange portions and at least one third flange portion project outward from at least the left and right end faces of the panel body, a more novel design is imparted, and the taste of the outer peripheral surface of the eaves is enhanced.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the outer frame member includes a first frame member integrally having an end plate portion and a second flange portion, and a second frame member integrally having a first flange portion and a cover plate portion. A third flange portion is integrally formed on at least one of the end plate portion of the first frame member and the cover plate portion of the second frame member. The second frame member is screwed to a first support plate portion integrally formed on the upper end portion of the end plate portion of the first frame member, and the lower end portion of the cover plate portion is supported by a second support plate portion integrally formed below the first support plate portion.

Advantages of the Invention

[0017] According to the present invention, since the constituent members of the roof panel can be disassembled and carried, transportation, handling, and construction work at high places are easy, and a novel design can be given even to a large small roof. [[ID=U2]]

MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0019] FIGS. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the roof panel 1 of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a view of the roof panel 1 seen from above, and FIG. 2 is a view of the roof panel 1 seen from the front. The roof panel 1 of the figure example is mainly used for eaves, and is composed of a panel body 2 with a horizontally long rectangular planar shape and decorative outer frame members 3A, 3B, and 3C that edge the outer peripheral surface of the panel body 2. The outer frame members 3A, 3B, and 3C are respectively attached over the entire length to the left and right end faces 2b and 2c and the front end face 2a among the four end faces 2a to 2d of the panel body 2.

[0020] The panel body 2 is composed of a plurality of plate materials 21 and 22 of the same length connected in the same direction. In the following description, the direction in which the plate materials 21 and 22 constituting the panel body 2 are connected is referred to as the "width direction" or "left - right direction", and the direction orthogonal to the width direction, that is, the length direction of each plate material 21 and 22 is referred to as the "front - rear direction". Therefore, the outer frame members 3B and 3C are attached to the left and right end faces 2b and 2c of the panel body 2, and the outer frame member 3A is attached to the front end face 2a (hereinafter referred to as the "front end face 2a") of the panel body 2. The rear end face 2d of the panel body 2 (hereinafter referred to as the "rear end face 2d") is open. The rear end portion of the panel body 2 including the rear end face 2d is held by a fixture 4 attached to the outer wall surface of the building.

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the panel body 2 is composed of a plurality of intermediate plate materials 21 whose side end faces are joined to each other and connected in the width direction, and two side plate materials 22, 22 respectively connected to the outer side surfaces of the intermediate plate materials 21 at both side positions. Each intermediate plate material 21 has first and second engaging pieces 23 and 24 at both side end faces. Each side plate material 22 has either a second engaging piece 24 that engages with the first engaging piece 23 of the intermediate plate material 21 or a first engaging piece 23 that engages with the second engaging piece 24 of the intermediate plate material 21 at the inner side end face. The first and second engaging pieces 23 and 24 can be engaged by sliding one of the adjacent plate materials in the front - rear direction with respect to the other. In the figure, reference numeral 25 denotes a reinforcing rib formed over the entire length at an appropriate position. Each rib 25 is integrally formed with a screw - through hole 26 into which a screw 11 described later can be screwed.

[0022] Each of the outer frame members 3A to 3C has the same form and has a first protruding edge portion 5 and a second protruding edge portion 6. In the roof panel 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first protruding edge portion 5 projects outward by a certain width along the upper edge on the upper end sides of the left and right end faces 2b, 2c and the front end face 2a of the panel body 2, and the second protruding edge portion 6 projects outward by a certain width along the lower edge on the lower end sides of the left and right end faces 2b, 2c and the front end face 2a of the panel body 2.

[0023] The first and second protruding edge portions 5 and 6 are horizontal and parallel to each other, and the respective protruding widths d1 and d2 with respect to the end face 2a are set to be the same, but they do not necessarily have to be horizontal and parallel to each other. For example, design changes such as tilting the second protruding edge portion 6 are possible. Also, the protruding widths d1 and d2 of the first and second protruding edge portions 5 and 6 with respect to the end face 2a do not necessarily have to be the same. For example, design changes such as making the protruding width d2 of the second protruding edge portion 6 smaller than the protruding width d1 of the first protruding edge portion 6 are also possible.

[0024] Each of the outer frame members 3A to 3B may further include, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, a third protruding edge portion 9 that projects outward by a certain width between the first and second protruding edge portions 5 and 6. In the embodiment of this figure, only one third protruding edge portion 9 is provided on the end face of the panel body 2, but two or more can also be provided. Further, in the illustrated example, the protruding widths d1 to d3 of the first to third protruding edge portions 5, 6, and 9 are set to be the same, but various design changes are possible, such as setting d1 > d3 > d2 as in the embodiment described later.

[0025] FIG. 5 shows the configuration of the front outer frame member 3A attached to the front end face 2a of the panel body 2. The outer frame member 3A includes the first and second protruding edge portions 5 and 6, an end plate portion 7 that is overlapped with the front end face 2a of the panel body 2 and screwed, and a cover plate portion 8 that covers the screwed portion of the end plate portion 7 from the outside. In this embodiment, the outer frame member 3A is composed of two frame members 31 and 32, but it can also be configured using three or more frame members.

[0026] The first frame member 31 integrally includes an end plate portion 7 and first and second flange portions 5 and 6. The first flange portion 5 is perpendicular to the end plate portion 7 and continuous with the upper end of the end plate portion 7. The second flange portion 6 is also perpendicular to the end plate portion 7 and continuous with the lower end of the end plate portion 7.

[0027] The end plate portion 7 has a contact portion 71 that abuts against the front end face 2a of the panel body 2, and a stepped portion 72 formed continuously below the contact portion 71. In the contact portion 71, screw holes 73 for inserting screws 11 and supporting the screw heads are formed at positions corresponding to the screw through holes 26 of the panel body 2. The stepped portion 72 projects outward and is located away from the front end face 2a of the panel body 2. There is a gap x between the stepped portion 72 and the front end face 2a of the panel body 2. This gap x is for allowing rainwater that has entered the interior of the panel body 2 to flow out to the outside.

[0028] The second frame member 32 constitutes a cover plate portion 8 and covers the screwed portion so that the screws 11 are not visible from the outside. The cover plate portion 8 is provided with first and second protruding pieces 81 and 82 of the same length at the upper and lower ends respectively. The first and second protruding pieces 81 and 82 are horizontal and parallel to each other. At the tips of the protruding pieces 81 and 82, tapered locking portions 81a and 82a having a catching portion are formed over the entire length.

[0029] On the lower surface of the first flange portion 5 of the first frame member 31, a first ridge 51 and a stopper 55 in a form where the locking portion 81a catches are provided protruding. The stopper 55 is aligned with the stepped portion 72 of the end plate portion 7. On the upper surface of the second flange portion 6, a second ridge 61 in a form where the locking portion 82a catches is provided protruding. Although not shown, it is also possible to integrally form one or more third flange portions 9, which will be described later, on the outer surface of the cover plate portion 8.

[0030] Insert the second frame member 32 between the first protruding edge portion 5 and the second protruding edge portion 6 until the tips of the protruding pieces 81 and 82 abut against the stopper 55 and the stepped portion 72, and lock the first and second locking portions 81a and 82a to the first and second protruding ridges 51 and 61, respectively. As a result, the cover plate portion 8 is held in a state of covering the end plate portion 7, and the second frame member 32 and the first frame member 31 are integrated. Note that the first and second frame members 31 and 32 constituting the outer frame members 3A to 3C and the plate members 21 and 22 constituting the panel body 2 are manufactured by extrusion molding of aluminum, achieving overall weight reduction.

[0031] Although not shown, the outer frame members 3B and 3C attached to the left and right end faces 2b and 2c of the panel body 2 also have the same configuration as the front outer frame member 3A shown in FIG. 5, and illustration and detailed description thereof are omitted here. Note that since the end plate portions 7 are abutted against and screwed to the left and right end faces 2b and 2c of the panel body 2 for the left and right outer frame members 3B and 3C, screw holes communicating with the screw holes 73 formed in the end plate portions 7 are formed in the end faces 2b and 2c. Note that the outer frame members 3A to 3C can be composed of only the first frame member 31. In this case, the screwed portion is exposed without being covered. Also, in this embodiment, a third protruding edge portion 9 described later can be integrally formed on the outer surface of the contact portion 71 of the first frame member 31.

[0032] Returning to FIG. 1, the first and second protruding edge portions 5 and 6 of the left and right outer frame members 3B and 3C each have diagonal butting end portions 50 and 60 formed by cutting the front end portions. Also, the first and second protruding edge portions 5 and 6 of the front outer frame member 3A each have diagonal butting end portions 50 and 60 formed by cutting the left and right end portions. By butting the butting end portions 50 and 60 at the front end portions of the left and right outer frame members 3B and 3C and the butting end portions 50 and 60 at both end portions of the front outer frame member 3A, the outer frame member 3A and the outer frame members 3B and 3C are continuous at the corner.

[0033] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the roof panel 1 having the above-described configuration is used for the eave plate 101 that constitutes the eave 100. The configuration of the eave 100 will be described later.
