Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a ceiling support structure for supporting a ceiling. [Background technology]

[0002] An example of a ceiling support structure in which a ceiling is supported by structural materials is known from Patent Document 1. In the ceiling structure of Patent Document 1, the ends of the joists are attached with the inner wall runners attached to the wall body, and the ceiling surface material is attached below the joists.

[0003] In addition, in the first intermediate structural part of Patent Document 2, an intermediate ceiling hanging bracket equipped with an anti-vibration rubber member is fixed to an H-shaped steel beam, a soffit support is fixed to the intermediate ceiling hanging bracket, a soffit is fixed to the soffit support, and a ceiling underlayment material is fixed to the soffit.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3194065 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-119326 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the ceiling structure described in Patent Document 1, the interior wall runners are attached directly to the walls, so vibrations from the floor above are transmitted through the walls and joists to the ceiling surface material of the floor below. This means that vibrations from the upper floor are easily transmitted to the floor below via the ceiling. On the other hand, in the first intermediate structure portion of Patent Document 2, vibrations transmitted from the upper floors can be absorbed by vibration-damping rubber members, but the structure requires joist support, which increases costs.

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its object is to provide a ceiling support structure that can inexpensively suppress vibrations transmitted from structural materials to the ceiling. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] (1) The ceiling support structure according to claim 1 comprises a joist to which a ceiling board is attached, and a runner molded from a flat metal plate that can attach the joist to a structural material. The runner has a fixing portion fixed to the side of the structural material, a fitting portion into which the joist is fitted, and a connecting portion that connects the fixing portion and the fitting portion and is elastically deformable in the vertical direction.

[0008] Because the connecting part that connects the fixed part and the mating part is elastically deformable in the vertical direction, vertical vibrations generated in the structural material are absorbed and transmitted to the mating part. As a result, vibrations transmitted from the second floor floor to the first floor ceiling board are suppressed. In addition, because no sill support is required, vibration suppression can be achieved inexpensively.

[0009] (2) Claim 2 is a ceiling support structure according to claim 1, wherein the connecting portion has a first extension portion extending from the lower end of the fixed portion in a first direction intersecting the vertical direction, and a second extension portion extending downward from the first extension portion and connecting to the mating portion.

[0010] (3) Claim 3 is a ceiling support structure as described in claim 1, wherein the connecting portion extends downward from the lower end of the fixing portion in a first direction intersecting the vertical direction, and the fitting portion has an upper plate extending from the extending end of the connecting portion in a direction opposite to the first direction, a back plate extending downward from the extending end of the upper plate, and a lower plate extending from the lower end of the back plate opposite to the upper plate.

[0011] (4) Claim 4 is a ceiling support structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connecting portion has a third extension portion extending downward from the lower end of the fixed portion in a first direction intersecting the vertical direction, and a fourth extension portion extending from the extending end of the third extension portion along the opposite direction to the first direction, the fitting portion has a first plate extending in the first direction from the extending end of the fourth extension portion, a second plate extending downward from the tip of the first plate in the opposite direction to the first direction, and a third plate extending from the lower end of the second plate opposite to the first plate, and the fixed portion and the connecting portion are cut out from the second plate of the fitting portion.

[0012] High yield when manufacturing runners.

[0013] (5) The ceiling support structure of claim 5 is a ceiling support structure comprising a siding to which a ceiling board is attached, and a runner formed from a flat metal plate and capable of attaching the siding to a structural material, wherein the runner has an upper plate extending along a cross direction that intersects with the side of the structural material, a back plate extending downward from the end of the upper plate facing the structural material, and a lower plate extending from the lower end of the back plate opposite the upper plate, and the back plate protrudes in a mountain shape along the cross direction and has an elastic portion that can elastically deform in the vertical direction.

[0014] The joist is sandwiched between the upper board at the top of the fixed part and the lower board below the connecting part, so the joist is positioned close to the fixed part. This prevents the joist from moving sideways, preventing lateral vibrations from being transmitted to the ceiling boards on the first floor. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] The ceiling support structure according to the present invention can inexpensively suppress vibrations transmitted from structural materials to the ceiling. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0017] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Note that the embodiment described below is merely an example of the present invention, and it goes without saying that the embodiment of the present invention can be appropriately modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0018] In the following, the up-down direction 1 is defined based on the state in which the building 10 is constructed. The direction in which the joists 20 extend, which is perpendicular to the up-down direction 1, is defined as the left-right direction 2. The direction in which the beams 11 extend, which is perpendicular to the up-down direction 1 and the left-right direction 2, is defined as the front-rear direction 3.

[0019] [First embodiment] The building 10 is a wooden frame house or the like, with multiple pillars erected on a base placed on a foundation (not shown). Some of the multiple pillars support beams 11 (an example of a structural material). A ceiling support structure 12 is arranged on the beams 11. Figures 1 and 2 show a case in which the ceiling support structure 12 of the first floor 15 is located below the floor 14 of the second floor 13. A plurality of beams 11 are arranged below the floor 14 of the second floor 13. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the beams 11 extend along the front-to-rear direction 3, and have a first side surface (an example of a side surface) 16 facing left and a second side surface (an example of a side surface) 17 facing right.

[0020] The siding 20 extends in the left-right direction 2. A right end portion 27 of the siding 20 is fitted into a runner 22 attached to the first side surface 16 of the beam 11, and the other end of the siding 20 is fitted into a runner 22 fixed to another beam located to the left of the beam 11. The arrangement of the runner 22 and the siding 20 is the same on the right side of the beam 11, and a left end portion 28 of the siding 20 is fitted into a runner 22 attached to the second side surface 17 of the beam 11, and the other end is fitted into a runner 22 fixed to another beam located to the right of the beam 11.

[0021] The ceiling support structure 12, located to the left of the beam 11, includes a siding 20 and a runner 22. The siding 20 and the runner 22 are each formed by rolling a flat metal material having a predetermined thickness, such as steel or aluminum.

[0022] The siding 20 has a substantially rectangular cross section when viewed from the left-right direction 2, and extends cylindrically along the left-right direction 2. A plurality of the sidings 20 are arranged in the front-rear direction 3.

[0023] The runner 22 supports the siding 20. The runner 22 is fixed at a position near the bottom of the first side surface 16 by screws 39 and 55. The runner 22 fixed to the first side surface 16 supports the right end portions 27 of the multiple sidings 20. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the runner 22 includes a fixing portion 34, a connecting portion 35, and a fitting portion 36.

[0024] The fixing portions 34 are portions that are fixed to the first side surface 16 or the second side surface 17 of the beam 11. Three fixing portions 34 are positioned at equal intervals in the front-to-rear direction 3 along the first side surface 16 or the second side surface 17 of the beam 11. Each fixing portion 34 has a main surface 37 that abuts against the first side surface 16 or the second side surface 17, a through hole 38 that penetrates in the left-to-right direction 2, and an elongated hole 44 that penetrates in the left-to-right direction 2 and is long in the up-down direction 1. The dimension of each fixing portion 34 in the front-to-rear direction 3 may be such that it can be fixed to the first side surface 16 or the second side surface 17 with a screw 39 or the like.

[0025] The connecting portion 35 connects the fitting portion 36 and each fixed portion 34. Each connecting portion 35 is located to the left and below each fixed portion 34 in a state where the fixed portion 34 is fixed to the first side surface 16. More specifically, each connecting portion 35 has a first extension portion 50 and a second extension portion 51.

[0026] The first extension portion 50 extends leftward (an example of a first direction) from the lower end 29 of the fixing portion 34. The first extension portion 50 is aligned along the left-right direction 2 and the front-rear direction 3. The dimension of the first extension portion 50 in the front-rear direction 3 is the same as that of the fixing portion 34. The second extension portion 51 extends downward from the left end of the first extension portion 50 while curving to bulge leftward. The second extension portion 51 is connected to the fitting portion 36. The dimension of the second extension portion 51 in the front-rear direction 3 is the same as that of the first extension portion 50.

[0027] The fitting portion 36 is a long member that is long in the front-to-rear direction 3 when fixed to the beam 11. A plurality of sills 20 are fitted into the fitting portion 36. The fitting portion 36 is located to the left of the fixing portion 34. The fitting portion 36 is located below each connecting portion 35. The fitting portion 36 has an upper plate 40, a back plate 41, and a lower plate 42.

[0028] The upper plate 40 extends rightward from the lower end 31 of the second extension portion 51. When viewed in the up-down direction 1, the upper plate 40 has a rectangular shape that is longer in the front-to-back direction 3 than in the left-to-right direction 2. The upper plate 40 is aligned with the left-to-right direction 2 and the front-to-back direction 3. The upper plate 40 faces the three first extension portions 50. The dimension of the upper plate 40 in the front-to-back direction 3 is larger than that of the second extension portions 51. The dimension D1 (see Figure 4) of the upper plate 40 in the left-to-right direction 2 is smaller than the dimension D2 of the first extension portions 50 in the left-to-right direction 2.

[0029] The back panel 41 extends downward from the right end 32 of the upper panel 40. The back panel 41 is aligned in the up-down direction 1 and the front-to-back direction 3. The dimension of the back panel 41 in the front-to-back direction 3 is the same as the dimension of the upper panel 40 in the front-to-back direction 3. The right end of the joist 20 abuts against the surface of the back panel 41 facing left (see Figure 1).

[0030] The lower plate 42 extends leftward from the lower end 33 of the back plate 41. The lower plate 42 is aligned in the left-right direction 2 and the front-to-back direction 3, with its upper surface facing the lower surface of the upper plate 40. The dimension of the lower plate 42 in the front-to-back direction 3 is the same as the dimension of the back plate 41 in the front-to-back direction 3. The dimension D3 of the lower plate 42 in the left-to-right direction 2 (see FIG. 4) is greater than the dimension D1 of the upper plate 40 in the left-to-right direction 2.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1, a runner 22 is also attached to the right side of the beam 11, and is positioned so that the main surface 37 abuts against the second side surface 17. A plurality of ceiling boards 25 are fixed with screws 26 to the joists 20 supported by the runners 22 fixed to the left and right sides of the beam 11.

[0032] [Installation procedure for ceiling board 25 using runner 22] The procedure for attaching the ceiling board 25 to the beam 11 using the runner 22 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 5, 6, and 7. When attaching the ceiling board 25 to the beam 11, the worker first attaches the runner 22 to the beam 11. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the worker positions each fixing portion 34 on the first side surface 16 of the beam 11 and temporarily fastens screws 39 into each elongated hole 44. At this time, the screws 39 are not completely fastened to the beam 11, and the runner 22 is able to slide in the vertical direction 1 relative to the beam 11. In this state, the worker aligns each through hole 38 with respect to the first side surface 16 in the vertical direction 1 and inserts screws 55 into each through hole 38 to fix the runner 22 to the first side surface 16. After fastening the screws 55, the worker also tightens the screws 39 to fix the runner 22 to the first side surface 16.

[0033] After the runner 22 is attached to the left side of the beam 11, the runner 22 is attached to the second side surface 17. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 , the worker positions the runner 22 on the second side surface 17 and then temporarily fastens screws 39 into each of the elongated holes 44. After temporarily fastening the screws, the worker aligns the runner 22 to the same position in the vertical direction 1 as the runner 22 attached to the first side surface 16. After aligning the positions, the worker inserts screws 55 into each of the through holes 38 to secure the runner 22 to the second side surface 17. After securing the screws 55, the worker also tightens the screws 39 to secure the runner 22 to the second side surface 17. The runner 22 secured to the second side surface 17 is secured to the same position in the vertical direction 1 as the runner 22 secured to the first side surface 16.

[0034] Next, as shown in FIG. 7 , a worker attaches multiple sidings 20 to the fittings 36 of the runners 22 fixed to the first side surface 16. The left end portion of each siding 20 is supported by a runner (not shown) fixed to another beam located to the left of the beam 11, and the right end portion 27 is sandwiched between the upper plate 40 and the lower plate 42 of the runner 22 fixed to the first side surface 16. At this time, the right end of each siding 20 abuts the back plate 41. Multiple sidings 20 are arranged side by side in the front-to-back direction 3, aligned along the left-to-right direction 2. The worker can adjust the spacing between each siding 20 by moving each siding 20 in the front-to-back direction 3 while it is sandwiched between the upper plate 40 and the lower plate 42. The worker similarly sandwiches the left end portion 28 of each siding 20 located to the right of the beam 11 between the upper plate 40 and the lower plate 42, adjusting the spacing between the sidings 20 in the front-to-back direction 3.

[0035] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, a worker fastens a plurality of ceiling boards 25 with screws 26 to the undersides 24 of the joists 20 arranged in the front-rear direction 3.

[0036] [Effects of the first embodiment] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 35 connecting the fixed portion 34 and the fitting portion 36 is elastically deformable in the vertical direction 1, so that vibrations generated in the beam 11 in the vertical direction 1 are absorbed by the connecting portion 35 and transmitted to the fitting portion 36. As a result, vibrations transmitted from the floor 14 of the second floor 13 to the ceiling board 25 of the first floor 15 are suppressed. Furthermore, the ceiling support structure 12 can be composed of the joists 20 and the runners 22, and no joist support is required, so vibration suppression can be achieved inexpensively.

[0037] [Modification of the first embodiment] The runner 22 according to the above embodiment has been described with reference to an example in which the fitting portion 36 is larger in dimension than the fixed portion 34 and the connecting portion 35 in the front-to-rear direction 3, but is not limited to this configuration. Also, the first extension portion 50 extends leftward from the lower end of the fixed portion 34, and the second extension portion 51 extends downward from its left end while curving and bulging leftward, but is not limited to this configuration. The runner 22a may have, for example, the configuration described below.

[0038] As shown in Fig. 8, the runner 22a according to the modified example is formed by folding back a single rectangular flat plate. The fixing portion 34a has a through hole 38a and a long hole 44a. The through hole 38a penetrates the fixing portion 34a in the left-right direction 2. Three through holes 38a are positioned at equal intervals in the front-rear direction 3. The long holes 44a penetrate the fixing portion 34a in the left-right direction 2 and are elongated in the up-down direction 1. The long holes 44a are positioned below the three through holes 38a in the fixing portion 34a.

[0039] The connecting portion 35a extends leftward (an example of the first direction) and downward from the lower end 46 of the fixing portion 34a. The connecting portion 35a is aligned along the front-rear direction 3. The fitting portion 36a has an upper plate 40a, a back plate 41a, and a lower plate 42a.

[0040] The upper plate 40a extends rightward (an example of the opposite direction to the first direction) from a left end 47 (an example of an extending end of a connecting portion) of the connecting portion 35a. The fitting portion 36a has the same dimensions as the fixing portion 34a in the front-rear direction 3 and also has the same dimensions as the connecting portion 35a. The back plate 41a extends downward from a right end 48 (an example of an extending end of the upper plate) of the upper plate 40a. The lower plate 42a extends leftward from a lower end 49 of the back plate 41a. The lower plate 42a extends along the left-right direction 2 and the front-rear direction 3, and its upper surface faces the lower surface of the upper plate 40.

[0041] [Other variations] In the first embodiment described above, an example has been described in which three fixing portions 34 are positioned at equal intervals in the front-rear direction 3, but this configuration is not limiting. There may be two or less fixing portions 34, or four or more fixing portions 34, for one fitting portion 36 extending along the front-rear direction 3.

[0042] In the above-described first embodiment, the case where the dimension D3 of the lower plate 42 in the left-right direction 2 is larger than the dimension D1 of the upper plate 40 in the left-right direction 2 has been described as an example, but this configuration is not limited to this. The dimension D3 of the lower plate 42 in the left-right direction 2 may be smaller than or the same as the dimension D1 of the upper plate 40 in the left-right direction 2.

[0043] In the first embodiment described above, an example was given in which the screw 55 is fully tightened into the first side surface 16 or the second side surface 17, and then the temporarily fastened screw 39 is also tightened to fix the runner 22 to the first side surface 16 or the second side surface 17, but this configuration is not limiting. The temporarily fastened screw 39 may be removed from the first side surface 16 or the second side surface 17 after the runner 22 is fixed by the screw 55. In other words, the runner 22 may be fixed by the screw 55 alone.

[0044] In the above-described first embodiment, the fixing portion 34 has the through hole 38 for fixing the runner 22 to the beam 11 and the elongated hole 44 for determining the position of the runner 22 relative to the beam 11, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The fixing portion 34 may have only the through hole 38.

[0045] [Second embodiment] In the first embodiment described above, the case where the connecting portion 35 of the runner 22 is connected to the left end of the upper plate 40 has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, as shown in Fig. 9, the connecting portion 35b may be connected to the upper end of the second plate 61 of the fitting portion 36b. Furthermore, the runner 22b in this embodiment may be formed by cutting and raising the fixing portion 34b and the connecting portion 35b from the second plate 61.

[0046] Runner 22b has fixing portions 34b, connecting portions 35b, and fitting portions 36b. Three fixing portions 34b are positioned at equal intervals in the front-to-rear direction 3 along the first side surface 16 or the second side surface 17 of beam 11. Each fixing portion 34b has a main surface 37b (see FIG. 10 ) that abuts against the first side surface 16 or the second side surface 17, a through hole 38b that penetrates in the left-to-right direction 2, and an elongated hole 44b that penetrates in the left-to-right direction 2 and is long in the up-down direction 1. The dimension of each fixing portion 34b in the front-to-rear direction 3 may be such that it can be fixed to the first side surface 16 or the second side surface 17 with a screw or the like.

[0047] The connecting portion 35b connects the fitting portion 36b and each fixing portion 34b. Each connecting portion 35b is bent into a V-shape that opens to the right. More specifically, each connecting portion 35b has a third extension portion 58 and a fourth extension portion 59.

[0048] The third extension portion 58 extends leftward (an example of the first direction) from a lower end 65 of the fixing portion 34b. The third extension portion 58 has the same dimension in the front-to-rear direction 3 as the fixing portion 34b. The fourth extension portion 59 extends rightward (an example of the direction opposite to the first direction) from a left end 66 (an example of an extending end of the third extension portion) of the third extension portion 58. The dimension in the front-to-rear direction 3 of the fourth extension portion 59 is the same as that of the third extension portion 58.

[0049] The fitting portion 36b has a first plate 60, a second plate 61, and a third plate 62. The first plate 60 extends leftward from a lower end 67 (an example of an extending end of the fourth extending portion) of the fourth extending portion 59. The first plate 60 is aligned along the left-right direction 2 and the front-rear direction 3. The first plate 60 is longer in the front-rear direction 3 than each of the fourth extending portions 59.

[0050] The second plate 61 extends downward from the right end 68 of the first plate 60 (an example of a tip in the direction opposite to the first direction). The second plate 61 is aligned along the up-down direction 1 and the front-rear direction 3. The second plate 61 has the same dimensions as the first plate 60 in the front-rear direction 3. Three notched holes 45 are formed in the second plate 61. The notched holes 45 are rectangular openings that are longer in the up-down direction 1 than in the front-rear direction 3.

[0051] The cut-and-raised portion of the second plate 61 is folded back to form the fixing portion 34b, the third extension portion 58, and the fourth extension portion 59. The cut-and-raised portion is folded at two creases along the front-to-rear direction 3 to form the fixing portion 34b at the tip portion, the third extension portion 58 at the central portion, and the fourth extension portion 59 at the base end portion.

[0052] The third plate 62 extends leftward from the lower end 69 of the second plate 61. The upper surface of the third plate 62 faces the lower surface of the second plate 61. The dimension of the third plate 62 in the front-rear direction 3 is the same as the dimension of the first plate 60 in the front-rear direction 3.

[0053] The size of the material used can be reduced because the fixing portion 34b and the connecting portion 35b can be formed from the cut-and-raised portion of the second plate 61. This allows the runner 22b to be manufactured with a good yield.

[0054] In the first and second embodiments described above, the connecting portions 35, 35a, 35b of the runners 22, 22a, 22b fixed to the first side surface 16 are positioned to the left of the fixing portions 34, 34a, 34b, but this configuration is not limiting. For example, the connecting portions 35, 35a, 35b may be positioned to the left of the first side surface 16. Note that, when the runners 22, 22a, 22b are attached to the second side surface 17, the connecting portions 35, 35a, 35b may be positioned to the right of the second side surface 17. In other words, the connecting portions 35, 35a, 35b may extend in a direction that does not interfere with the first side surface 16 or the second side surface 17 of the beam 11.

[0055] In the above-described first and second embodiments, the fitting portions 36, 36a, 36b are described as elongated members that are long in the front-rear direction 3, but the fitting portions 36, 36a, 36b may be shorter than the beam 11. In other words, the fitting portions 36, 36a, 36b may be long in the front-rear direction 3 so that one runner 22, 22a, 22b can be arranged along the beam 11, or multiple fitting portions 36, 36a, 36b may be arranged along the beam 11.

[0056] [Third embodiment] In the first embodiment described above, the fitting portion 36 of the runner 22 is located below the connecting portion 35, and the joist 20 is supported below the connecting portion 35. However, this configuration is not limited to this. For example, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the runner 22c may sandwich the joist 20 between an upper plate 80 located above the through hole 38c and a plate 82 located below the runner 22c.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 11 , the ceiling support structure 12 located to the left of the beam 11 includes a joist 20 and a runner 22c. The runner 22c is a long member that is long in the front-to-rear direction 3 when fixed to the beam 11. The runner 22c is fixed with screws 39 at a position near the bottom of the beam 11 with the back panel 81 abutting against the first side surface 16. The runner 22c fixed to the first side surface 16 supports the right end portions 27c of the multiple joists 20.

[0058] 12, the runner 22c has an upper plate 80, a back plate 81, and a lower plate 82. The upper plate 80 extends along the left-right direction 2 and the front-rear direction 3 (an example of a cross direction), and is long in the front-rear direction 3.

[0059] The back plate 81 extends downward from a right end 83 (an example of an end facing the structural material) of the upper plate 80. The back plate 81 has the same dimension in the front-to-rear direction 3 as the upper plate 80. The back plate 81 has a fixed portion 90, a through hole 38a, an elastic portion 91, and an extension portion 92.

[0060] The fixing portion 90 is aligned along the up-down direction 1 and the front-rear direction 3. The fixing portion 90 is located near the upper side of the back panel 81. Through holes 38c penetrate the fixing portion 90 in the left-right direction 2. Three through holes 38c are positioned at equal intervals in the front-rear direction 3.

[0061] The elastic portion 91 is located below the fixed portion 90. The elastic portion 91 protrudes to the left in a mountain shape. More specifically, the elastic portion 91 has a first portion 93 and a second portion 94.

[0062] The first portion 93 extends leftward and downward from the lower end 84 of the fixing portion 90. The first portion 93 is aligned along the front-rear direction 3. The dimension of the first portion 93 in the front-rear direction 3 is the same as that of the fixing portion 90. The dimension of the first portion 93 in the left-right direction 2 is smaller than that of the upper plate 80.

[0063] The second portion 94 extends rightward and downward from the left end 85 of the first portion 93. The second portion 94 has the same dimension in the front-rear direction 3 as the first portion 93. The dimension of the second portion 94 in the left-right direction 2 is smaller than the dimension of the first portion 93 in the left-right direction 2.

[0064] The extension portion 92 extends downward from the lower end 86 of the second portion 94. The extension portion 92 is aligned along the up-down direction 1 and the front-to-back direction 3. The extension portion 92 is located lower on the back panel 81. The extension portion 92 is parallel to the fixing portion 90 and is located to the left of the fixing portion 90. The dimension of the extension portion 92 along the front-to-back direction 3 is the same as that of the second portion 94.

[0065] The lower plate 82 extends leftward from a lower end 87 (an example of the lower end of the back plate) of the extension portion 92. The upper surface of the lower plate 82 faces the lower surface of the upper plate 80. The dimension of the lower plate 82 in the front-to-rear direction 3 is the same as that of the second portion 94. The dimension of the lower plate 82 in the left-to-right direction 2 is larger than that of the upper plate 80.

[0066] When installing the ceiling board 25 on the beams 11, the worker fastens the screws 39 into the through holes 38c while positioning the runners 22c on the first side surface 16. This fixes the runners 22c to the first side surface 16.

[0067] After the runner 22c is attached to the left side of the beam 11, a runner 22c is attached to the second side surface 17 at the same position in the vertical direction 1 as the runner 22c fixed to the first side surface 16.

[0068] The worker clamps the right end portion 27c of the siding 20 between the upper plate 80 and lower plate 82 of the runner 22c fixed to the first side surface 16, and similarly clamps the left end portion to the runner 22c fixed to another beam located to the left of the beam 11. At this time, the right end of the siding 20 abuts the left end 85 of the first portion 93 (see FIG. 11 ). The worker can adjust the spacing between the multiple sidings 20 arranged in the front-to-rear direction 3 by moving them in the front-to-rear direction 3 while they are sandwiched between the upper plate 80 and lower plate 82. The worker similarly attaches the multiple sidings 20 between the upper plate 80 and lower plate 82 of the runner 22c fixed to the second side surface 17. As shown in FIG. 11 , a ceiling board 25 is fixed to the underside 24 of the siding 20 with screws 26.

[0069] [Other variations] In the above-described third embodiment, the runner 22c is an elongated member that is long in the front-rear direction 3. However, the runner 22c may be any member that is shorter than the beam 11. In other words, the runner 22c may be long in the front-rear direction 3 so that one runner 22c can be arranged along the beam 11, or multiple runners 22c can be arranged along the beam 11.

[0070] In the above-described embodiments, the runners 22, 22a, 22b, and 22c are attached to the beams 11, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The runners 22, 22a, 22b, and 22c may be attached to the interior walls of a building.

[0071] In the above-described embodiments, the runners 22, 22a, 22b, and 22c are fixed to the beam 11 by inserting the screws 55 into the through holes 38, 38a, 38b, and 38c, but this configuration is not limiting. The runners 22, 22a, 22b, and 22c do not have to have the through holes 38, 38a, 38b, and 38c. In this case, the runners 22, 22a, 22b, and 22c are fixed to the beam 11 by directly driving the screws 55 into them.

[0072] In the above-described embodiments, the siding 20 extends in the left-right direction 2, and the right end portion 27 and the left end portion 28 are sandwiched between the runners 22, 22a, 22b, and 22c. However, this configuration is not limiting. The siding 20 may be disposed on the runners 22, 22a, 22b, and 22c in a position extending in the front-rear direction 3, for example, via other members. In this case, the siding 20 may be inserted parallel to the runners 22, 22a, 22b, and 22c.
