[Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The waterstop mounting device of the present invention is a waterstop mounting device for detachably mounting a waterstop to a waterstop mounting target part in order to close an opening between opposing side surfaces of left and right waterstop mounting target parts provided on an installation surface at a distance from each other and the installation surface between the side surfaces, and the waterstop comprises: an engaging portion provided on the side surface of the waterstop mounting target part; an engaging device provided on one plate surface of the waterstop and engaging with the engaging portion; and watertightness maintaining members provided between a lower end surface of the waterstop and the installation surface facing the lower end surface, and between a side edge of one plate surface of the waterstop and the surface of the waterstop mounting target part facing the side edge. ,before The engaging portion includes an upper engaging portion and a lower engaging portion provided so as to protrude from the side surface of the waterstop plate mounting target portion toward the opening, and the engaging device includes an upper engaging device provided at an upper portion of the side end side of one plate surface of the waterstop plate and engaging with the upper engaging portion, and a lower engaging device provided at a lower portion of the side end side of one plate surface of the waterstop plate and engaging with the lower engaging portion. ,before The upper engaging portion and the lower engaging portion are constituted by engaging shafts that protrude from the side of the waterstop mounting portion toward the opening, the lower engaging device is constituted by engaging recesses into which the engaging shafts constituting the lower engaging portion can be inserted and removed, and the upper engaging device is characterized by having engaging recesses into which the engaging shafts constituting the upper engaging portion can be inserted and removed, and a locking mechanism that maintains a predetermined engagement state in which the engaging shafts are engaged with the engaging recesses. According to the waterstop mounting device of the present invention, when the side edge of one of the plate surfaces of the waterstop is opposed to the surface of the part to which the waterstop is to be mounted and the engaging device provided on the waterstop is engaged with the engaging part provided on the side of the part to which the waterstop is to be mounted, the watertightness maintaining members positioned between the side edge of one of the plate surfaces of the waterstop and the surface of the part to which the waterstop is to be mounted opposite that side edge, and between the lower end surface of the waterstop and the installation surface opposite that lower end surface, are maintained in a compressed state.Therefore, a waterstop mounting device can be provided that can maintain good watertight performance between the side edge of one of the plate surfaces of the waterstop and the surface of the part to which the waterstop is to be mounted opposite that side edge, and between the lower end surface of the waterstop and the installation surface opposite that lower end surface. Furthermore, the water stopping method using the above-mentioned waterstop mounting device includes a waterstop positioning step of aligning a side edge of one plate surface of the waterstop with the surface of the waterstop mounting object and positioning an engagement shaft constituting the lower engagement portion at the entrance / exit of an engagement recess of the lower engagement device of the waterstop; and, after the waterstop positioning step, pressing the waterstop in a direction that brings the side edge of one plate surface of the waterstop closer to the surface of the waterstop mounting object, thereby engaging the engagement shaft constituting the lower engagement portion with the engagement recess of the lower engagement device of the waterstop. The method is characterized in that it includes a waterstop mounting step in which the waterstop is mounted to the waterstop mounting target portion so that the watertightness maintaining members positioned between a side end on one plate surface of the waterstop and the surface of the waterstop mounting target portion opposite that side end, and between the lower end surface of the waterstop and the installation surface opposite that lower end surface, are maintained in a compressed state by maintaining the engagement shaft constituting the upper engagement portion guided into the engagement recess of the upper engagement device of the waterstop in the predetermined engaged state using the locking mechanism. According to the water-stopping method of the present invention, it is possible to maintain good water-stopping performance between the side edge of one of the plate surfaces of the water stop plate and the surface of the water stop plate mounting object opposite that side edge, and between the lower end surface of the water stop plate and the installation surface opposite that lower end surface.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] Embodiment 1 The waterstop mounting device of embodiment 1 is, for example, as shown in Figure 4, a mounting device 3 for a waterstop 2 for detachably mounting both left and right ends of the waterstop 2 to left and right waterstop mounting objects 1S, 1S, in order to block the opening 1 between the opposing side surfaces 11, 11 of left and right waterstop mounting objects 1S, 1S arranged on the installation surface 1B at a predetermined distance in the left-right direction and the installation surface 1B between the side surfaces 11, 11 with the waterstop 2. In this specification, up, down, left, right, front, and rear are defined as the directions shown in each figure. That is, up, down, left, right, front, and rear refer to the up, down, left, right, front, and rear directions of the opening 1, the waterstop mounting object 1S, and the waterstop 2. Also, the front and rear shown in Figures 2 and 6 refer to the front and rear directions when the waterstop 2 is mounted on the waterstop mounting object 1S as shown in Figures 1 and 5.

[0009] The waterstop 2 is formed, for example, by a rectangular flat plate whose left-to-right width (horizontal dimension) is larger than the left-to-right width of the opening 1. The vertical width (height dimension) and the front-to-back width (plate thickness dimension) of the rectangular flat plate are arbitrary.

[0010] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the mounting device 3 comprises an engaging portion 4 provided on the side surface 11 of the waterstop mounting target portion 1S located next to the opening 1, an engaging device 5 provided on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 and engaging with the engaging portion 4, and a watertightness maintaining member 6 provided between the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 and the installation surface 1B opposite the lower end surface 22, and between a side end portion 23 near the side edge 21S on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 and the front surface 12 of the waterstop mounting target portion 1S opposite the side end portion 23. The front surface 12 of the waterstop mounting portion 1S is the surface of the waterstop mounting portion 1S that is adjacent to the side surface 11 of the waterstop mounting portion 1S via a boundary edge 13, and for example, the side surface 11 and the front surface 12 are formed by surfaces that are perpendicular to each other via the boundary edge 13.

[0011] The left and right waterstop mounting targets 1S, 1S are, for example, the side frames of the left and right FIX (fixed doors (fixed fixtures that do not open or close)) located on the left and right sides of the outdoor side of the automatic door in the automatic door unit, and the opening 1 is the opening between the opposing side surfaces 11, 11 of the side frames of the left and right FIX and the installation surface 1B between these side surfaces 11, 11. In other words, in this case, the installation surface 1B is the floor surface on the outdoor side of the automatic door, and the opening 1 is an opening located on the outdoor side of the opening that opens and closes by the automatic door. Furthermore, the front side is on the outdoor side of the opening 1, and the rear side is on the indoor side of the opening 1. The opening 1 may be an opening formed in a so-called building such as a detached house, an apartment building, a building, a warehouse, a factory, or an exterior structure such as a garage, a carport, a gate, or a fence, or a structure such as a tunnel or an underground shopping mall. In this case, the left and right waterstop mounting target portions 1S, 1S are formed by an opening forming frame or the like that forms the opening.

[0012] The watertightness maintaining member 6 is made of, for example, rubber and is pre-attached to the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 and to a side end portion 23 near the side edge 21S on one of the plate surfaces 21 of the waterstop 2 using an attachment means such as an adhesive. For example, a rubber plate of a certain thickness serving as the watertightness maintaining member 6 is provided so as to be continuous across the upper and lower ends of the left and right side end portions 23, 23 on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2. Furthermore, for example, a rubber plate of a certain thickness serving as the watertightness maintaining member 6 is provided so as to be continuous across the left and right ends of the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 and across the lower end surfaces of the left and right rubber plates provided on the left and right side end portions 23, 23. In this case, it is preferable that the watertightness maintaining member 6 provided on the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 is provided so that its rear end protrudes rearward beyond one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2, and is provided so as to be continuous across the left and right ends of the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 and across the lower end surfaces of the left and right rubber plates provided on the left and right side end portions 23, 23. In addition, the watertightness maintaining member 6 may be formed in a concave shape that extends continuously from the upper and lower ends of the left and right side end portions 23, 23 on one of the plate surfaces 21 of the waterstop 2 to the left and right ends of the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2.

[0013] As shown in Figures 1, 2(b), and 2(d), the engagement portion 4 includes, for example, an upper engagement portion 4A and a lower engagement portion 4B that are arranged to protrude toward the opening 1 from the side surface 11 of the waterstop mounting portion 1S. The upper engaging portion 4A is formed by an engaging shaft 41 that protrudes from the side surface 11 toward the opening 1, for example, and the lower engaging portion 4B is formed by an engaging shaft 42 that protrudes from the side surface 11 toward the opening 1, for example. An engagement shaft 41 that becomes the upper engagement portion 4A and an engagement shaft 42 that becomes the lower engagement portion 4B are provided on a mounting plate 43 that is attached to the side surface 11, for example. For example, when one of the surfaces of the mounting plate 43 formed from a flat plate is opposed to the side surface 11 of the waterstop mounting target portion 1S, the mounting plate 43 is attached to the side surface 11 with screws S or the like, so that the engagement axis 41 which becomes the upper engagement portion 4A and the engagement axis 42 which becomes the lower engagement portion 4B extend from the side surface 11 in a direction perpendicular to the side surface 11 and protrude toward the opening 1.

[0014] As shown in Figures 1, 2(a) and 2(c), the engagement device 5 includes, for example, an upper engagement device 5A provided on the upper part of the side end portion 23 of one plate surface 21 of the water stop plate 2 and engaging with the upper engagement portion 4A, and a lower engagement device 5B provided on the lower part of the side end portion 23 of one plate surface 21 of the water stop plate 2 and engaging with the lower engagement portion 4B. The upper engaging device 5A and the lower engaging device 5B are provided at positions closer to the center of one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 than the watertightness maintaining member 6 provided at the side edge 23 of the plate surface 21.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 2(c) and FIG. 1, the lower engagement device 5B is configured to have an engagement recess 50 into which the engagement shaft 42, which is the lower engagement portion 4B, is insertably and detachably engaged. That is, the lower engagement device 5B includes an attachment portion 51 to the waterstop 2 and an engagement recess forming portion 52. The mounting portion 51 is configured, for example, by a mounting plate attached to the waterstop 2 by mounting means such as a screw S with the plate surface facing one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2. The engagement recess forming portion 52 is formed, for example, by a flat plate having an engagement recess 50 extending rearward, away from one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2, from the mounting plate that forms the mounting portion 51 attached to the waterstop 2. In other words, the engagement recess 50 is composed of a recess formed, for example, in a flat plate having a surface that extends perpendicular to one of the plate surfaces 21 of the water stop 2 and rearward and upward and downward from the plate surface 21, and that extends diagonally upward from the lower edge of the rear end of the flat plate toward the plate surface 21 of the water stop 2, and then extends horizontally toward the plate surface 21 of the water stop 2. That is, the engaging recess component 52 is configured to include an engaging recess 50 having an entrance / exit 53 that opens at the rear lower end, recess side walls that extend upward from the entrance / exit 53 and then diagonally forward to form opposing upper and lower recess side walls, and a recess bottom that connects the front ends of the opposing upper and lower recess side walls. Furthermore, the lower recess side wall of the opposing vertical recess side walls includes a vertical wall surface 54 extending substantially vertically upward from the recess entrance / exit 53, an inclined wall surface 55 extending obliquely upward and forward from the upper end of the vertical wall surface 54, and a front wall surface 56 extending substantially horizontally forward from the upper end of the inclined wall surface 55. As will be described later, it is preferable that the vertical wall surface 54 be formed as a curved surface that protrudes slightly rearward so that the lower engagement shaft 42 abutting against the vertical wall surface 54 can easily move onto the inclined wall surface 55.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 2(a) and FIG. 1, the upper engagement device 5A includes an engagement mechanism and an attachment portion 70 for attaching the engagement mechanism to one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2. The engagement mechanism includes an engagement recess 7 into which an engagement shaft 41, which is the upper engagement portion 4A, is detachably engaged, and a locking mechanism 8 that maintains the state in which the engagement shaft 41 is engaged with the engagement recess 7.

[0017] The mounting portion 70 is configured, for example, by a mounting plate attached to the waterstop 2 by mounting means such as screws S with the plate surface facing one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2. The engagement recess 7 is formed by the space between an upper member 71 and a lower member 72 which extend rearward and upward / downward, i.e., away from one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2, from the mounting plate which forms the mounting portion 70 attached to the waterstop 2, and are arranged perpendicular to one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2. The upper member 71 includes a cylindrical guide portion 71a that extends vertically so that a lock plate 80 (described later) can move in the vertical direction V, for example. The lower member 72 is composed, for example, of a flat plate having a horizontal upper edge surface 73 extending rearward, that is, perpendicular to the plate surface 21, away from one of the plate surfaces 21 of the waterstop 2, an inclined edge surface 74 extending diagonally downward from the rear end of the horizontal upper edge surface 73 toward the rear, and a vertical edge surface 75 extending downward from the lower end of the inclined edge surface 74. That is, the space between the horizontal upper edge surface 73 of the lower member 72 and the lower end surface 71b of the upper member 71 constitutes the engagement recess 7.

[0018] The locking mechanism 8 is configured to include a locking plate 80 that is movable in the vertical direction V within the cylindrical guide portion 71a of the upper member 71, and a spring 81, such as a tension coil spring or a compression coil spring, as an elastic means that connects the locking plate 80 and the upper member 71. That is, the locking mechanism 8 is composed of a locking plate 80 that is arranged so as to be movable up and down within the cylindrical guide portion 71a, and a spring 81 that has one end connected to the locking plate 80 and the other end connected to the upper member 71, and that urges the locking plate 80 downward. The locking plate 80 is composed of a flat plate having a plate surface that is perpendicular to one of the plate surfaces 21 of the water stop plate 2 and extends rearward and upward and downward from the plate surface 21, and is equipped with a sliding plate portion 82 that moves vertically within the cylindrical guide portion 71a, an operating piece 83 that extends from the upper end of the sliding plate portion 82 and has a plate surface that extends horizontally in the front-to-back and left-to-right directions, and a locking piece 84 that is arranged to extend downward from the rear of the lower end of the sliding plate portion 82. The lock plate 80 is configured so that in a normal state or locked state where it is biased by the spring 81 , the lower end of the lock piece 84 is in a state close to the oblique edge surface 74 of the lower member 72 . The lower end surface of this lock piece 84 is formed as an inclined surface located between the front end edge and the rear end edge, that is, a lower end inclined surface 85 that inclines upward from the front end edge toward the rear end edge.

[0019] Next, a water stopping method using the mounting device 3 for the waterstop 2 according to the first embodiment will be described. In addition, engagement portions 4 (upper engagement portion 4A and lower engagement portion 4B) are provided in advance on each of the opposing side surfaces 11, 11 of the left and right waterstop mounting target portions 1S, 1S located on the left and right sides of the opening 1, and as described above, a watertightness maintaining member 6 is provided in a concave shape on the lower left and right end surfaces of one of the plate surfaces 21 of the waterstop 2 so as to extend continuously along the lower left and right edges, and engagement portions 5 (upper engagement device 5A and lower engagement device 5B) are provided on the left end surface and right end surface of one of the plate surfaces 21 of the waterstop 2, respectively. Then, the watertightness maintaining members 6 provided on the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 are brought into contact with the installation surface 1B, and with the watertightness maintaining members 6 provided on the left and right side end portions 23, 23 of one of the plate surfaces 21 of the waterstop 2 facing the front surfaces 12, 12 of the left and right waterstop mounting targets 1S, 1S, the left and right lower engagement devices 5B of the waterstop 2 are engaged with the lower engagement portions 4B provided on the side surfaces 11, 11 of the left and right waterstop mounting targets 1S, 1S, and the left and right upper engagement devices 5A of the waterstop 2 are engaged with the upper engagement portions 4A provided on the side surfaces 11, 11 of the left and right waterstop mounting targets 1S, 1S.

[0020] That is, first, as shown in Figure 3(a), with the watertightness maintaining member 6 provided on the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 in contact with the installation surface 1B, the engagement shaft 42 of the lower engagement portion 4B is positioned at the entrance / exit 50e of the engagement recess 50 of the lower engagement device 5B and brought into contact with the vertical wall surface 54, and then the outer surface of the engagement shaft 41 of the upper engagement portion 4A is abutted against the inclined edge surface 74 of the lower member 72 and the lower end inclined surface 85 of the locking piece 84. Thereafter, the waterstop 2 is pressed in a direction that brings the side edge 23 of one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 closer to the front surface 12 of the waterstop attachment target portion 1S. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the engagement shaft 42 enters and engages with the engagement recess 50 of the lower engagement device 5B while abutting against the upper and lower opposing recess side walls of the engagement recess 50, and the engagement shaft 41, which had been abutting against the lower end inclined surface 85 of the locking piece 84, pushes the locking piece 84 up against the spring force of the spring 81 and then enters the engagement recess 7. That is, after the engagement shaft 41 climbs over the lower end inclined surface 85 and is positioned on the horizontal upper edge surface 73, the locking plate 80 moves downward due to the spring force of the spring 81, and the lower end of the locking piece 84 approaches the inclined edge surface 74 of the lower member 72. As a result, the engagement shaft 41 is maintained in an engaged state in which it is engaged with the engagement recess 7. That is, after the engagement shaft 41 enters the engagement recess 7, the engagement shaft 41 comes into contact with a front end surface 86 extending in the vertical direction of the lock piece 84, and the force from the engagement shaft 41 contacting this front end surface 86 does not generate a force pushing up the lock piece 84. That is, after the engagement shaft 41 rides over the lock piece 84 and enters the engagement recess 7, the rearward movement of the engagement shaft 41 is restricted by the lock piece 84, which is biased downward by the spring 81, and the engagement shaft 41 is locked in an engaged state with the engagement recess 7. Furthermore, the engagement shaft 42, which moves from a state in contact with the vertical wall surface 54 to the inclined wall surface 55 and enters the engagement recess 50 of the lower engagement device 5B, is engaged with the engagement recess 50 in a state in which its rearward movement is restricted by the upper recess side wall of the engagement recess 50.

[0021] As a result of the above, the waterstop 2 is attached to the left and right waterstop attachment target portions 1S, 1S via the attachment device 3 so as to close the opening 1, as shown in FIG. 3(b), when attached in this manner, the lower engagement shaft 42 engages with the engagement recess 50 of the lower engagement device 5B, and the upper engagement shaft 41 engages with the engagement recess 7 of the upper engagement device 5A and is locked in an engaged state, thereby maintaining the watertightness maintaining member 6 between the left and right side end portions 23 of one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 and the front surfaces 12, 12 of the left and right waterstop attachment target portions 1S, 1S in a sealed state. Furthermore, when the lower engagement shaft 42 enters and engages with the engagement recess 50 of the lower engagement device 5B, the inclined wall surface 55 of the engagement recess 50 is pressed against the engagement shaft 42, pressing the waterstop 2 downward, so that the watertightness maintaining member 6 provided on the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 is pressed against the installation surface 1B, and the watertightness maintaining member 6 between the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 and the installation surface 1B is maintained in a sealed state. Therefore, it is possible to maintain good water-stopping performance between the side end 23 on one of the plate surfaces 21 of the waterstop 2 and the front surface 12 of the waterstop mounting target portion 1S opposite the side end 23, and between the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 and the installation surface 1B opposite the lower end surface 22.

[0022] Furthermore, when removing the waterstop 2 that has been installed to block the opening 1 from the waterstop installation target portion 1S, the locked state can be released by, for example, pinching the operating piece 83 with one's hand and moving it upward to move the locking plate 80 upward, so that the upper engagement shaft 41 can be easily removed from the engagement recess 7, and the waterstop 2 can be easily removed from the waterstop installation target portion 1S in the reverse order of installation.

[0023] Therefore, the waterstop mounting device according to the first embodiment makes it possible to provide a waterstop mounting device that allows the waterstop 2 to be easily attached and detached and that can maintain good waterstop performance. In other words, a watertightness maintaining member 6 is maintained in a compressed state between the side end 23 on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 and the front surface 12, which is the surface of the waterstop mounting portion 1S opposite the side end 23, and between the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 and the installation surface 1B opposite the lower end surface 22, thereby providing a waterstop mounting device that can maintain good watertight performance between the side end 23 on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 and the front surface 12 of the waterstop mounting portion 1S, and between the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 and the installation surface 1B.

[0024] Embodiment 2 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the mounting device for the waterstop plate in embodiment 2 is configured so that the engagement device 5 includes, for example, an upper engagement device 5C provided on the upper side of the side end portion 23 on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop plate 2 and engages with the upper engagement portion 4A, and a lower engagement device 5D provided on the lower side of the side end portion 23 on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop plate 2 and engages with the lower engagement portion 4B. The other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and in Figs. 5 and 6, the same parts as those explained in Figs. 1 to 4 of the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and explanations thereof will be omitted.

[0025] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6(b), the lower engagement device 5D is configured to have an engagement recess 50a into which the engagement shaft 42, which is the lower engagement portion 4B, is insertably and detachably engaged. The lower engagement device 5D has a similar configuration to the lower engagement device 5B, but has a slightly different shape, including an attachment portion 51a for attaching to the waterstop 2 and an engagement recess forming portion 52a. That is, the mounting portion 51a is configured by a mounting plate attached to the waterstop 2 by mounting means such as screws S with the plate surface facing one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2, for example. In addition, the engagement recess forming portion 52a is formed, for example, by a flat plate having an engagement recess 50a extending rearward, in a direction away from one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2, from the mounting plate forming the mounting portion 51a attached to the waterstop 2. As will be described later, the upper engagement device 5C is configured such that the rotation center axis 9C of the rotary lock plate 90, which is provided so as to be rotatable in the front-to-rear direction, is provided on one plate surface 21 side of the waterstop 2, and therefore the engagement recess 7a is positioned further rearward and away from the plate surface 21 than the engagement recess 7 of the upper engagement device 5A of embodiment 1. Therefore, the engagement recess 50a of the lower engagement device 5D is also positioned further rearward and away from the plate surface 21 than the engagement recess 50 of the lower engagement device 5B of embodiment 1, corresponding to the engagement recess 7a of the upper engagement device 5C. Therefore, the engagement recess 50a is composed, for example, of a recess formed in a flat plate having a surface that extends perpendicular to one of the plate surfaces 21 of the water stop 2 and rearward and upward and downward from the plate surface 21, and that extends diagonally upward from the lower edge of the rear end of the flat plate toward the plate surface 21 of the water stop 2. That is, the engaging recess component 52a is configured with an engaging recess 50a having an entrance / exit 53a that opens at the rear lower end, recess side walls that extend upward from the entrance / exit 53a and then diagonally forward to form opposing upper and lower recess side walls, and a recess bottom that connects the front ends of the opposing upper and lower recess side walls. The lower recess side wall of the opposing upper and lower recess side walls has a vertical wall surface 54a extending substantially perpendicularly upward from the entrance 53a, and an inclined wall surface 55a extending obliquely upward and forward from the upper end of the vertical wall surface 54a. As will be described later, it is preferable that the vertical wall surface 54a be formed as a curved surface that protrudes slightly rearward so that the lower engagement shaft 42 abutting against the vertical wall surface 54a can easily move onto the inclined wall surface 55a.

[0026] 5 and 6(a), the upper engagement device 5C includes an engagement mechanism and an attachment portion 70a for attaching the engagement mechanism to one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2. The mounting portion 70a is configured, for example, by a mounting plate attached to the waterstop 2 by mounting means such as screws S with the plate surface facing one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2.

[0027] The engagement mechanism includes an engagement recess 7a into which an engagement shaft 41, which is the upper engagement portion 4A, is removably engaged, and a locking mechanism 9 that maintains the state in which the engagement shaft 41 is engaged with the engagement recess 7a. In other words, the engagement mechanism includes the fixed plate 72a, the rotation lock plate 90, and elastic means for attaching the rotation lock plate 90 to the fixed plate 72a in a rotatable and lockable manner.

[0028] The fixing plate 72a is configured in substantially the same manner as the lower member 72 of embodiment 1. That is, the fixing plate 72a is formed, for example, by a flat plate having a plate surface that extends rearward, i.e., in a direction away from one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2, perpendicular to the plate surface 21, and in the up-down direction, from the mounting plate that configures the mounting portion 70a. For example, a rotation center axis 9C extending in a direction perpendicular to the plate surface is provided on the plate surface of the fixed plate 72a closer to the plate surface 21, and behind the position where the rotation center axis 9C is provided, there is a vertical edge surface 73a extending downward from the rear end of the upper end surface of the fixed plate 72a (not shown in the figure), a diagonal edge surface 74a extending diagonally downward toward the rear from the rear end of the vertical edge surface 73a, a horizontal surface 75a extending rearward almost horizontally from the lower end of the diagonal edge surface 74a, a rear diagonal edge surface 76a extending diagonally downward from the rear end of the horizontal surface 75a, and a rear edge surface 77a extending downward from the rear end of the rear diagonal edge surface 76a. The vertical edge surface 73a, the oblique edge surface 74a, and the horizontal surface 75a form the lower side of the engagement recess 7a.

[0029] The lock mechanism 9 is configured to include a rotation lock plate 90 and a spring 91, such as a torsion coil spring, as elastic means that connects the rotation lock plate 90 and the rotation center shaft 9C. For example, with the rotation center shaft 9C inserted into the coil tube of a torsion coil spring serving as spring 91, the torsion coil spring is positioned between the inner wall of a rotation center hole 92 (described later) of the rotation lock plate 90 and the circumferential surface of the rotation center shaft 9C, with one end of the torsion coil spring connected to the rotation lock plate 90 and the other end of the torsion coil spring connected to the fixed plate 72a. With this configuration, the rotary lock plate 90 becomes rotatable relative to the fixed plate 72a, and the rotary lock plate 90 is biased by the spring 91, thereby forming a locking mechanism 9 that maintains the engagement state in which the engagement shaft 41 is engaged with the engagement recess 7a.

[0030] The rotation lock plate 90 includes a rotation center hole 92 into which the rotation center shaft 9C is inserted, an operation piece 93, a lock piece 94, and a recess 95 that forms the upper side of the engagement recess 7a. That is, the rotation lock plate 90 is configured by a plate having a flat plate portion 90a in which a rotation center hole 92, a lock piece 94, and a recess 95 are formed, and a flat plate portion 90b in which an operation piece 93 is formed. When the rotation center shaft 9C is inserted into the rotation center hole 92 and the rotation lock plate 90 is attached so that it can rotate around the rotation center shaft 9C as the center of rotation, the flat plate portion 90a is composed of a flat plate having a plate surface that extends rearward and in the vertical direction perpendicular to the plate surface 21, and the flat plate portion 90b that forms the operating piece 93 is positioned above the rotation center hole 91 and is composed of a flat plate having a plate surface that is perpendicular to the plate surface of the flat plate portion 90a and faces the plate surface 21.

[0031] The recess 95 is formed by a recess in the lower opening formed behind the portion of the flat plate portion 90a where the rotation center hole 92 is formed. The locking piece 94 of the rotary locking plate 90 is composed of a flat plate portion located behind the recess 95, and the lower end surface of the locking piece 94 is formed as an inclined surface located between the front end edge and the rear end edge, i.e., a lower end inclined surface 96 that slopes upward from the front end edge toward the rear end edge. The rotation lock plate 90 is configured such that in a normal state or locked state where it is biased by the spring 91, the lower end of the lock piece 94 is in a state close to the oblique edge surface 74a of the fixed plate 72a. Furthermore, a retaining cap 97 is attached to the tip side of the rotation center shaft 9C inserted into the rotation center hole 92 of the rotation lock plate 90 to prevent the rotation lock plate 90 from coming off the rotation center shaft 9C.

[0032] Next, a water stopping method using the mounting device 3 for the waterstop 2 according to the second embodiment will be described. First, as in embodiment 1, with the watertightness maintaining member 6 provided on the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 in contact with the installation surface 1B, the engagement shaft 42 of the lower engagement portion 4B is positioned at the entrance / exit 53a of the engagement recess 50a of the lower engagement device 5D, and then the outer surface of the engagement shaft 41 of the upper engagement portion 4A is abutted against the rear inclined edge surface 76a of the fixed plate 72a and the lower end inclined surface 96 of the locking piece 94. Thereafter, the waterstop 2 is pressed in a direction that brings the side edge 23 of one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 closer to the front surface 12 of the waterstop attachment target portion 1S. As a result, the engagement shaft 42 enters and engages with the engagement recess 50a while abutting against the upper and lower opposing recess side walls of the engagement recess 50a of the lower engagement device 5D, and the engagement shaft 41, which had been abutting against the lower end inclined surface 96 of the locking piece 94, rotates the locking piece 94 against the spring force of the spring 91 and then enters the engagement recess 7a. That is, after the engagement shaft 41 climbs over the lower end inclined surface 96 and is positioned on the horizontal surface 75a and the inclined edge surface 74a, the rotation lock plate 90 rotates due to the spring force of the spring 91, and the lower end of the lock piece 94 approaches the inclined edge surface 74a of the fixed plate 72a, thereby maintaining the engagement shaft 41 in an engaged state in the engagement recess 7a. That is, after the engagement shaft 41 climbs over the lock piece 94 and enters the engagement recess 7a, its rearward movement is restricted by the lock piece 94, which is biased downward by the spring 91, and the engagement shaft 41 is locked in an engaged state in the engagement recess 7a. Furthermore, the engagement shaft 42, which moves from a state in contact with the vertical wall surface 54a to the inclined wall surface 55a and enters the engagement recess 50a of the lower engagement device 5D, is engaged with the engagement recess 50a in a state in which its rearward movement is restricted by the upper recess side wall of the engagement recess 50a.

[0033] As a result of the above, the waterstop 2 is attached so as to block the opening 1 via the mounting device 3, and when attached in this manner, the lower engagement shaft 42 engages with the engagement recess 50a of the lower engagement device 5D, and the upper engagement shaft 41 is locked into an engaged state in which it engages with the engagement recess 7a of the upper engagement device 5C, thereby maintaining the watertightness maintaining member 6 between the left and right side end portions 23 on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 and the front surfaces 12, 12 of the left and right waterstop mounting target portions 1S, 1S in a compressed state. Furthermore, when the lower engagement shaft 42 enters and engages with the engagement recess 50a of the lower engagement device 5D, the inclined wall surface 55a of the engagement recess 50a is pressed against the engagement shaft 42, and the waterstop 2 is pressed downward, so that the watertightness maintaining member 6 provided on the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 is pressed against the installation surface 1B, and the watertightness maintaining member 6 between the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 and the installation surface 1B is maintained in a compressed state.

[0034] Furthermore, when removing a water stop plate that has been installed to block the opening 1, the operating piece 93 is pushed toward one of the plate surfaces 21 of the water stop plate 2, thereby rotating the rotary lock plate 90 to release the locked state, and the upper engagement shaft 41 can be easily removed from the engagement recess 7a, so that the water stop plate 2 can be easily removed from the water stop plate installation target portion 1S in the reverse order of installation.

[0035] Therefore, the waterstop mounting device according to the second embodiment makes it possible to provide a waterstop mounting device that allows the waterstop 2 to be easily attached and detached and that can maintain good waterstop performance. In other words, by maintaining the watertightness maintaining member 6 in a compressed state between the side end 23 on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 and the front surface 12, which is the surface of the waterstop mounting target portion 1S opposite the side end 23, and between the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 and the installation surface 1B opposite the lower end surface 22, the waterstop performance can be maintained well between the side end 23 on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 and the front surface 12 of the waterstop mounting target portion 1S, and between the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 and the installation surface 1B, and moreover, a waterstop mounting device can be provided that allows the waterstop 2 to be easily attached and detached to the waterstop mounting target portion 1S.

[0036] Furthermore, the waterstop method using the waterstop mounting device according to the first and second embodiments includes a waterstop positioning step of aligning the side end 23 on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 with the surface (front surface 12) of the waterstop mounting target 1S and positioning the engagement shaft 42 constituting the lower engagement portion 4B at the entrance of the engagement recess 50, 50a of the lower engagement device 5B, 5D of the waterstop 2; and, after the waterstop positioning step, pressing the waterstop 2 in a direction that brings the side end 23 on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 closer to the surface of the waterstop mounting target 1S, thereby engaging the lower engagement shaft 42 with the engagement recess 50, 50a of the lower engagement device 5B, 5D of the waterstop 2. The method includes a waterstop mounting step in which the waterstop 2 is mounted to the waterstop mounting target portion 1S by engaging the engaging shaft 42 constituting the upper engaging portion 4B of the waterstop 2 and locking the engaging shaft 41 constituting the upper engaging portion 4A guided into the engaging recesses 7, 7a of the upper engaging devices 5A, 5C of the waterstop 2 in a predetermined engaged state, so that the watertightness maintaining members 6 positioned between the side end portion 23 on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 and the surface (front surface 12) of the waterstop mounting target portion 1S opposite the side end portion 23, and between the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 and the installation surface 1B opposite the lower end surface 22, are maintained in a compressed state.

[0037] In the embodiment, a configuration in which the watertightness maintaining member 6 is provided on the waterstop 2 is exemplified, but the watertightness maintaining member 6 may also be provided on the surface (front surface 12) of the waterstop mounting target portion 1S that faces the side end portion 23 on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2, and on the installation surface 1B that faces the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2.

[0038] Furthermore, in the embodiment, an example was given of a waterstop mounting device having upper and lower engaging portions and engaging devices, but the waterstop mounting device according to the present invention is such that when the side edge 23 on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 faces the surface (front surface 12) of the waterstop mounting object 1S, and the engaging device provided on the waterstop 2 engages with the engaging portion provided on the side surface 11 of the waterstop mounting object 1S, the waterstop 2 is engaged with the side edge 23 on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 and the surface (front surface 12) of the waterstop mounting object 1S that faces the side edge 23. It is only necessary that the watertightness maintaining member 6 positioned between the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 and the installation surface 1B opposite the lower end surface 22 is maintained in a compressed state, so that, for example, only one engaging device of the same configuration as the above-mentioned upper engaging device 5A or upper engaging device 5C may be provided at the center between the upper and lower ends at the side end of one of the plate surfaces 21 of the waterstop 2, and only one engaging part of the same configuration as the above-mentioned upper engaging part 4A that engages with the engaging device may be provided on the side surface 11 of the waterstop mounting target portion 1S.

[0039] In addition, in the embodiment, an example is given of an attachment device 3 for a waterstop 2 for detachably attaching both left and right ends of the single waterstop 2 to the left and right waterstop attachment objects 1S, 1S in order to close the opening 1 between the opposing side surfaces 11, 11 of the left and right waterstop attachment target portions 1S, 1S arranged at a distance on the installation surface 1B and the installation surface 1B between the side surfaces 11, 11 with the single waterstop 2, but the opening 1 may also be closed with two waterstops arranged side by side on the left and right. In this case, the waterstop mounting device is configured so that an engagement device 5 is provided at the left end of one of the plate surfaces of the left waterstop, an engagement portion 4 is provided on the side surface 11 of the left waterstop mounting target portion 1S, and an engagement device 5 is provided at the right end of one of the plate surfaces of the right waterstop, and an engagement portion 4 is provided on the side surface 11 of the right waterstop mounting target portion 1S, and further so that a watertightness maintaining member 6 is provided as described above. Then, the left end side of the left waterstop is attached to the left waterstop mounting target portion 1S, and the right end side of the right waterstop is attached to the right waterstop mounting target portion 1S, and the right end face of the left waterstop and the left end face of the right waterstop are placed opposite each other, and a watertightness maintaining member is provided between the right end face of the left waterstop and the left end face of the right waterstop, resulting in a configuration equipped with a mechanism for maintaining the watertightness maintaining member in a compressed state.

[0040] Furthermore, the front surface 12 and the side surface 11 of the waterstop mounting portion 1S need only be adjacent surfaces with the boundary edge 13 interposed therebetween, and the front surface 12 and the side surface 11 do not need to be surfaces that are perpendicular to each other.

[0041] That is, the mounting device 3 of the waterstop 2 according to the present invention for closing the opening 1 with the waterstop 2 comprises an engaging portion 4 provided on the side surface 11 of the waterstop mounting object portion 1S, an engaging device 5 provided on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 and engaging with the engaging portion 4, and watertightness maintaining members 6 provided between a side end portion 23 on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 and the surface (front surface 12) of the waterstop mounting object 1S facing the side end portion 23, and between a lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 and an installation surface 1B facing the lower end surface 22. The watertightness maintaining member 6 positioned between the side end 23 on one plate surface 21 of the waterstop 2 and the surface (front surface 12) of the waterstop mounting portion 1S opposite the side end 23, and between the lower end surface 22 of the waterstop 2 and the installation surface 1B opposite the lower end surface 22, may be configured to be maintained in a compressed state when the engaging device 5 provided on the waterstop 2 engages with the engaging portion 4 provided on the side surface 11 of the waterstop mounting portion 1S with the side end 23 facing the surface (front surface 12) of the waterstop mounting portion 1S.
