Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a storm and flood damage prevention structure for protecting various objects to be protected from storm and flood damage. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, when a tsunami or flood caused by a typhoon, heavy rain, earthquake, or other event floods indoors (above the floor) or destroys a house, not only household goods but also various vehicles can be submerged or washed away, resulting in soiling, damage, and render them unusable. Patent Document 1, for example, proposes a waterproof car storage bag that prevents water from entering the interior of a vehicle by storing the entire vehicle in a bag made of waterproof material, ensuring the functionality of the vehicle's equipment, and preventing damage. Patent Document 2 proposes a waterproof car cover made of waterproof fabric in a box shape large enough to fit a vehicle, with the middle and ends fastened with rope. Patent Document 3 proposes a flood prevention product for vehicles, consisting of a bag made of waterproof and durable sheet material large enough to completely cover the entire vehicle and a tie for closing the opening of the bag. Patent Document 4 proposes a method for preventing a vehicle from being submerged in water, in which the vehicle is placed on an airtight sheet that is larger than the shape of the bottom of the vehicle, both sides and the front and rear of the sheet are folded upward to fit along both sides and the front and rear of the vehicle, and the periphery of the sheet is supported on the periphery of the vehicle by appropriate means.Patent Document 5 discloses a water inundation prevention device for a vehicle, which includes a sheet member that can be laid under the vehicle and has a loading area for the vehicle to be placed on and a peripheral area outside the loading area, and flotation members that are attached to the peripheral edge of the sheet member and float on water to move the peripheral area upward above the bottom of the vehicle. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3031607 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-144885 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-248946 [Patent Document 4] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-314098 [Patent Document 5] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-18799 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the structures described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, in which the entire vehicle is covered with a waterproof bag (cover), the vehicle must be moved into the bag with the top or side of the bag open, and then the opening must be closed. In particular, when the top of the bag is open, the entire periphery of the bag must be lifted to a position higher than the vehicle's ceiling and closed in the center of the vehicle, which requires manpower and effort. Depending on the size of the vehicle, scaffolding such as a stepladder may be required, resulting in a lack of workability. Even when the side of the bag is open, multiple people must lift the periphery of the bag, form a box-like shape (forming a space), and then move the vehicle into the bag through the side opening, which requires manpower and effort. Furthermore, when the side of the bag is open, as described in Patent Document 3, the work can be done by tying the periphery of the bag to the beams of a carport or the like with a string, lifting the periphery of the bag, and then moving the vehicle into the bag through the side opening while it is formed into a box-like shape (forming a space). However, in order to lift the periphery of the bag to a position higher than the vehicle's ceiling, scaffolding such as a stepladder is required. In addition, after the vehicle has been moved into the bag, the strings holding up the outer periphery of the bag must be removed in order to close the opening, which is extremely time-consuming.Furthermore, in all of Patent Documents 1 to 3, the opening is closed by tying it with a string, but this does not provide sufficient waterproofing, and there is a risk of water seeping in through the opening. In Patent Document 4, the edges of a sheet placed under a vehicle are connected with a belt or attached to the vehicle's periphery with double-sided adhesive tape, etc., to support the edges of the sheet against the vehicle's periphery, thereby covering the bottom and part of the outer periphery (lower side) of the vehicle with the sheet. However, because the top of the vehicle is open, water may seep in between the top of the sheet and the vehicle, ultimately resulting in submersion. In response to this issue, Patent Document 4 covers the lower part of the vehicle with the sheet and then covers the outside (top) of the sheet with a standard vehicle body cover, allowing rainwater and the like to flow off the surface of the body cover to the outside of the sheet, preventing it from penetrating into the sheet. In other words, Patent Document 4 prevents water from seeping into the vehicle by combining a sheet that wraps around the lower part of the vehicle with a body cover that covers the upper part, which results in issues such as a large number of parts and tedious installation. In Patent Document 5, when flooded, the surrounding area of ​​the sheet member rises as the floating member floats, forming a waterproof wall around the vehicle to protect the vehicle from flooding, eliminating the need to fasten the surrounding area of ​​the sheet member to the vehicle, etc., simplifying the installation work. However, there is a problem in that it takes time to prepare for use because the floating member needs to be inflated by injecting gas before use. Furthermore, although Patent Documents 1 to 5 all aim to protect vehicles from flooding, damage caused by wind and water damage during typhoons, tsunamis, floods, etc. is not limited to vehicles (automobiles); various objects to be protected, such as motorcycles, bicycles, agricultural machinery and equipment, agricultural crops, various materials or products, etc., need to be protected from wind and water damage. The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a wind and water damage prevention structure with excellent workability that can be easily installed in a short time when a typhoon, tsunami, flood, etc. occurs, and that can protect objects to be protected from wind and water damage. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The wind and flood damage prevention structure according to the present invention, which meets the above-mentioned objectives, is a wind and flood damage prevention structure that protects an object to be protected housed in at least a roofed storage space from wind and flood damage, The waterproof cover has a bottom protection section on which the object to be protected stored in the storage space is placed and an outer periphery protection section connected to the bottom protection section and covering the outer periphery of the object to be protected, and a lifting member connected at one longitudinal side to the upper end side of the outer periphery protection section of the waterproof cover and at the other longitudinal side to a fixed structure installed in the storage space, for lifting and fixing the upper end side of the outer periphery protection section. Here, the roof installed in the storage space is the roof of a garage or warehouse, etc. Garages include simple outdoor installations such as carports, pipe garages, and tent garages. Furthermore, fixed structures installed in the storage space include not only the components (pillars, beams, walls, connecting members, etc.) of the garage or warehouse, etc., but also support members installed separately from the garage or warehouse, etc. Existing fences, handrails, streetlight posts, utility poles, etc. may also be used as support members. The waterproof cover is made of a water-impermeable, waterproof material. This waterproof cover is formed in a rectangular, flat (sheet-like) shape, and the outer periphery of the bottom protective portion on which the object to be protected is placed may be folded upward to form the outer periphery protective portion during use. Alternatively, the waterproof cover may be formed in a hollow box shape with an open top and a bottom protective portion and an outer periphery protective portion, depending on the size of the storage space and the object to be protected.

[0006] In the wind and flood damage prevention structure according to the present invention, it is preferable that a connecting means be provided for connecting one longitudinal side of the lifting member to the peripheral edge of the upper end side of the outer peripheral protection part of the waterproof cover.

[0007] In the wind and water damage prevention structure of the present invention, the fixed structure is preferably a component of a garage or warehouse with the roof.

[0008] In the wind and water damage prevention structure of the present invention, the fixed structure may be a component of a garage or warehouse with the roof and a support member installed independently of the garage or warehouse.

[0009] The wind and flood damage prevention structure according to the present invention may include a reinforcing support member that is arranged along the upper end side of the outer peripheral protection portion of the waterproof cover and is held by the fixed structure.

[0010] In the wind and flood damage prevention structure according to the present invention, the lifting member is preferably selected from the group consisting of a rope, a wire, a chain, and a rubber cord. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the wind and water damage prevention structure of the present invention, the waterproof cover that covers the bottom and outer periphery of the protected object stored in a storage space with a roof is lifted and fixed to a fixed structure installed in the storage space, thereby protecting the protected object from wind and water damage.

[0012] In the wind and flood damage prevention structure of the present invention, if a connecting means is provided to connect one longitudinal side of the lifting member to the peripheral edge of the upper end of the outer peripheral protective part of the waterproof cover, the lifting member and the connecting means can be easily connected to lift and fix the outer peripheral protective part of the waterproof cover, resulting in excellent workability.

[0013] In the wind and water damage prevention structure of the present invention, if the fixed structure is a component of a garage or warehouse with a roof, the waterproof cover and the garage or warehouse can be integrated via a lifting member, so that even if the garage or warehouse is simple, the weight of the object to be protected can prevent the garage or warehouse from being blown away.

[0014] In the wind and water damage prevention structure of the present invention, when the fixed structures are constituent members of a garage or warehouse with a roof and supporting members installed independently of the garage or warehouse, the waterproof cover can be securely and firmly fixed using the constituent members and supporting members regardless of the shape and structure of the garage or warehouse, resulting in excellent dimensional stability and durability.

[0015] In the wind and water damage prevention structure of the present invention, if a reinforcing support material is provided that is arranged along the upper end side of the outer peripheral protective portion of the waterproof cover and is held by a fixed structure, the reinforcing support material supports the upper end side of the outer peripheral protective portion of the waterproof cover to prevent slackening and ensure the protection of the internal protected object.

[0016] In the wind and flood damage prevention structure of the present invention, if the lifting member is selected from a rope, wire, chain or rubber cord, the waterproof cover can be easily connected (attached and detached) to the outer periphery protection part and the fixed structure, and the lifting member can be stored together with the waterproof cover with one longitudinal side connected to the outer periphery protection part, or can be folded or rolled up together with the waterproof cover with the other longitudinal side connected to the fixed structure and placed near the fixed structure, thereby shortening the installation work.

[Figure 3] FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a storm and flood damage prevention structure according to a second embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4] FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a wind and flood damage prevention structure according to a third embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 5] FIG. 10 is a front view of a wind and flood damage prevention structure according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings to facilitate understanding of the present invention. A wind and flood damage prevention structure 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 protects from wind and water damage an object to be protected (here, a vehicle) 13 housed in a storage space 12 equipped with at least a roof 11. In addition to vehicles, the object to be protected 13 in this wind and water damage prevention structure 10 includes, but is not limited to, motorcycles, bicycles, agricultural machinery and equipment, agricultural crops, various materials or products, etc.

[0019] The wind and water damage prevention structure 10 comprises a waterproof cover 17 having a bottom protective portion 15 on which the protected object 13 stored in the storage space 12 is placed, and an outer periphery protective portion 16 connected to the bottom protective portion 15 and covering the outer periphery of the protected object 13, and a lifting member 20 having one longitudinal side connected to the upper end side of the outer periphery protective portion 16 of the waterproof cover 17 and the other longitudinal side connected to a horizontal pipe (an example of a fixed structure) 19 of a pipe garage (an example of a garage) 18 installed in the storage space 12, for lifting and fixing the upper end side of the outer periphery protective portion 16. The dimensions of the bottom surface protection part 15 and the outer periphery protection part 16 are selected appropriately according to the dimensions of the object to be protected 13. It is preferable that the height of the outer periphery protection part 16 covers the entire height of the object to be protected 13, but it may be selected according to the expected water level in the event of flooding and the height of the object to be protected 13. For example, if the object to be protected 13 is a large special vehicle or the like, the height of which exceeds the expected water level in the event of flooding, the height of the outer periphery protection part 16 does not need to cover the entire height of the object to be protected 13, and it is sufficient if it is about the same as the expected water level in the event of flooding. In addition, the outer periphery protection part 16 can be lifted by a lifting member. 20 When hoisting the outer periphery protection part 16 and connecting it to the horizontal pipe 19, it is preferable that the work be performed within the reach of the worker without using a scaffold such as a stepladder. Therefore, the height of the outer periphery protection part 16 is preferably about 1 to 1.5 m, but is not limited to this range.

[0020] The waterproof cover 17 may be formed from a single sheet (of uniform thickness), but if the object to be protected 13 is heavy, it is preferable that the sheet thickness of the bottom protection part 15, to which the weight of the object to be protected 13 is added, be made thicker than the sheet thickness of the outer periphery protection part 16. Furthermore, when the object to be protected 13 is a vehicle, at least the area of ​​bottom protection part 15 that comes into contact with each tire may be further reinforced with a reinforcing sheet to prevent damage. For example, it is preferable that the sheet thickness of bottom protection part 15 is about 0.3 to 1.2 mm, the sheet thickness of outer periphery protection part 16 is about 0.2 to 1 mm, and the sheet thickness of the reinforcing sheet is about 0.3 to 0.5 mm, but the thicknesses of each sheet are not limited to these and may be selected as appropriate.

[0021] Each part of the waterproof cover 17 does not need to be made of the same material; each part may be made of different materials, and may be made of a single layer or multiple layers. For example, a reinforcing sheet may be laminated over the area of ​​the base sheet corresponding to the bottom protective part 15, so that the sheet thickness of the bottom protective part 15 is made thicker than the sheet thickness of the outer peripheral protective part 16. In this case, the base sheet and the reinforcing sheet may be made of the same or different materials. Furthermore, the waterproof cover 17 may be formed by joining sheets of different thicknesses for the bottom protective part 15 and the outer peripheral protective part 16. When the waterproof cover 17 is formed by joining multiple sheets, the airtightness and watertightness of the joints are ensured by welding or adhesive bonding.

[0022] The specific material for each part of the waterproof cover 17 is preferably a synthetic fiber base fabric, such as polyamide or polyester, laminated (coated) with vinyl chloride resin, but is not limited thereto and may be selected as appropriate. For example, instead of vinyl chloride resin, rubber, such as chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber, ethylene propylene diene rubber, chloroprene rubber, or natural rubber, may be laminated to the base fabric. These materials may be used alone or may be laminated with sheets made of other materials. The outer peripheral protection part 16 may have a stretchable sheet, such as a polyurethane sheet or a vinyl chloride resin sheet, laminated on the surface that will be inside during use. The waterproof cover 17 may be pre-formed into a box shape, or may be formed into a sheet (flat shape) and then folded upward to form the portion that will become the outer peripheral protection part 16 during use.

[0023] The waterproof cover 17 is provided with a connecting means 22 on the periphery of the upper end of the outer protective portion 16 of the waterproof cover 17, to which one longitudinal side of the lifting member 20 is connected. This allows the waterproof cover 17 to be connected to the lifting member 20 easily and quickly. The connecting means 22 may be any connecting means capable of connecting to the lifting member 20, and its configuration (structure) may be appropriately selected depending on the combination with the lifting member 20 (connection method, etc.). The connecting means 22 may be formed with an eyelet on the outer protective portion 16 as shown in FIG. 1, or a hook or a lifting ring may be attached. If the connecting means 22 is an eyelet or a lifting ring, the end of the lifting member 20 may be directly fastened to the connecting means 22. However, if a hook is attached to the end of the lifting member 20, the lifting member 20 can be easily connected by hooking it onto the connecting means 22. If the connecting means 22 is a hook, the end of the lifting member 20 can be easily connected by forming a loop or attaching a ring to it in advance. For example, ropes, wires, chains, or rubber strings (bands or belts) are used as the lifting members 20, and rubber strings are particularly preferred, but are not limited to these. When the lifting members 20 are rubber strings, even if an external force such as wind is applied to the waterproof cover 17, the extension and contraction of the lifting members 20 prevents the external force from being directly transmitted to the horizontal pipe 19, preventing damage to the waterproof cover 17 and the lifting members 20 or deformation of the horizontal pipe 19. It is not necessary that all of the lifting members 20 are made of the same material, and different types (materials) of members may be used depending on, for example, the installation location, etc. The number and arrangement of the connecting means 22 are selected appropriately depending on the size of the object 13 to be protected, etc.

[0024] In this embodiment, the pipe garage 18 is structured to support an awning (sheet fabric) 25 using a framework of horizontal pipes 19, vertical pipes (support pipes) 23, and arch pipes 24. Therefore, the horizontal pipe 19 is a component of the pipe garage 18. By using this horizontal pipe 19 as a fixed structure, the waterproof cover 17 and the pipe garage 18 can be integrated via the lifting member 20. As a result, the protected object 13 can function as a weight, preventing scattering even in a simple pipe garage 18. When connecting the other longitudinal end of the lifting member 20 to the horizontal pipe 19, similar to when connecting one longitudinal end of the lifting member 20 to the outer periphery protection portion 16 (connection means 22) of the waterproof cover 17, it may be directly tied or may be used with a hook, a hanging ring, or the like. For example, a hook previously attached to the other longitudinal side of the lifting member 20 may be hooked directly onto the horizontal pipe 19, or a hook or hanging ring attached to the other longitudinal side of the lifting member 20 may be hooked onto a hanging ring or hook attached to the horizontal pipe 19.

[0025] Depending on the specifications of the pipe garage 18, the existing horizontal pipes 19 may not be positioned at a height suitable for lifting the outer periphery protection section 16, so horizontal auxiliary pipes (not shown) may be added as necessary. The horizontal auxiliary pipes are attached so as to connect adjacent vertical pipes (support pipes) 23 of the pipe garage 18. The horizontal auxiliary pipes are connected to the lifting members 20 to lift the outer periphery protection section 16 and also to reinforce the pipe garage 18.

[0026] The wind and water damage prevention structure 10 is provided with reinforcing supports 26 that are arranged along the upper ends of the outer periphery protection section 16 of the waterproof cover 17 (horizontally, perpendicular to the horizontal pipe 19) at both longitudinal ends of the pipe garage 18 (front and rear of the pipe garage 18) and are held by the horizontal pipe 19. Although there are no fixed structures that can be connected to the lifting members 20 at both longitudinal ends of the pipe garage 18, by attaching the reinforcing supports 26 to connect the front ends and rear ends of the left and right horizontal pipes 19, respectively, and connecting the upper ends of the outer periphery protection section 16 to the reinforcing supports 26 with the lifting members 20, the outer periphery protection section 16 can be securely lifted and fixed without slackening. The method of connecting the horizontal pipes 19 and the reinforcing supports 26 can be selected appropriately.

[0027] The procedure is to move the object to be protected 13 onto the bottom protective portion 15 of the waterproof cover 17 placed inside the pipe garage 18, connect the left and right outer periphery protective portions 16 to the horizontal pipe 19 with the lifting members 20, then connect the horizontal pipe 19 to the reinforcing support member 26, and then connect the front and rear outer periphery protective portions 16 to the reinforcing support member 26 with the lifting members 20, thereby enabling smooth work. Alternatively, the front and rear outer periphery protective portions 16 and the reinforcing support member 26 may be first connected with the lifting members 20, and then the horizontal pipe 19 and the reinforcing support member 26 may be connected. Alternatively, instead of connecting the front and rear outer periphery protective portions 16 to the reinforcing support member 26 with the lifting members 20, cylindrical insertion portions (not shown) may be formed along the length of the front and rear outer periphery protective portions 16, and the reinforcing support member 26, which serves as the core, may be inserted into the insertion portions. The outer periphery protective portions 16 can then be easily lifted by simply fastening both ends of the reinforcing support member 26 to the horizontal pipe 19 with hooks or the like. The material of the reinforcing support member 26 may be a metal such as aluminum, or a synthetic resin such as polycarbonate or polypropylene.

[0028] Next, a wind and flood damage prevention structure 10A according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Note that the same components as those in the first embodiment will be given the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted. The wind and flood damage prevention structure 10A differs from the wind and flood damage prevention structure 10 in that, instead of the pipe garage 18, a garage 29 is installed in the storage space 12, with the four corners of the roof 11 supported by pillars 28. In this case, the four pillars 28 and two horizontal members 30 on the left and right that connect adjacent pillars 28 in the front and rear are the components that make up the garage 29. By using these pillars 28 and horizontal members 30 as fixed structures, it is possible to install a waterproof cover 17 in the same way as in the first embodiment and protect the protected object 13 from wind and flood damage. The horizontal members 30 may be existing ones, or may be added later as needed. In this embodiment, garage 29 only has parking space for one vehicle, but the present invention can also be applied when the garage is large and can accommodate two or more vehicles. It is preferable to have a structure in which the bottoms and peripheries of multiple vehicles are covered collectively with one waterproof cover 17, but it is also possible to have a structure in which each vehicle is covered individually with a waterproof cover 17. Note that when the garage is large and the waterproof covers are large, or when multiple waterproof covers are installed in one garage, support members (not shown), such as auxiliary pillars, may be installed as fixed structures at key points in storage space 12 as needed to reliably support the periphery protective portion of the waterproof cover.

[0029] Next, a wind and flood damage prevention structure 10B according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Note that the same components as those in the first and second embodiments are given the same reference numerals and their description will be omitted. The wind and flood damage prevention structure 10B differs from the wind and flood damage prevention structure 10 in that, instead of the pipe garage 18, a cantilevered carport (an example of a garage) 31 is installed in the storage space 12, with one side of the roof 11 supported by two support columns 28. In this case, the two support columns 28 and one horizontal member 30 connecting adjacent support columns 28 in the front and rear are the components of the carport 31. However, this alone is not enough to reliably support the outer periphery protective portion 16 of the waterproof cover 17, so a support member 32 is installed as a fixed structure independent of the carport 31. In this embodiment, the support member 32 is constructed by connecting two support columns 33 installed at positions of the four corners of the roof 11 that are not supported by the support columns 28 (here, two positions at the front and rear on the right side when viewed from the front) with a horizontal support member 34. By using these struts 28, horizontal members 30, and support members 32 (horizontal support members 34) as fixed structures, it is possible to install a waterproof cover 17 in the same way as in the first and second embodiments and protect the protected object 13 from wind and water damage. The shape, number, and arrangement of the fixed structures that are installed independently of an existing garage, warehouse, etc. can be selected as appropriate. Furthermore, the horizontal members 30 may be existing ones, or may be ones that are added later as needed.

[0030] Next, a wind and flood damage prevention structure 10C according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Note that the same components as those in the first to third embodiments will be given the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted. The wind and flood damage prevention structure 10C differs from the wind and flood damage prevention structure 10 in that a warehouse 35 is installed in the storage space 12 instead of the pipe garage 18, and products placed on pallets 36 are stored inside the warehouse 35 as the object to be protected 13A. In this case, horizontal members 30 installed along the side walls 37 are components of the warehouse 35. By using these horizontal members 30 as fixed structures, it is possible to install waterproof covers 17 in the same way as in the first to third embodiments and protect the object to be protected 13A from wind and flood damage (mainly flooding). The horizontal members 30 may be existing ones, or may be added later as needed.

[0031] The above describes an embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the configurations described in the above embodiment, and also includes other embodiments and modifications that are possible within the scope of the matters described in the claims. For example, the components of a garage or warehouse used as a fixed structure include not only pillars and horizontal members but also braces, walls, etc. By attaching connectors such as hooks or lifting rings to desired positions on the wall, lifting members can be easily connected, eliminating the need to add horizontal members such as horizontal auxiliary pipes, and providing excellent workability. The storage location and method for the waterproof cover can be selected as appropriate, but if it is normally stored in or near the storage space, installation work can begin in a short time. Also, if the waterproof cover is stored folded or rolled up with one side of the outer protective part of the waterproof cover connected to the fixed structure with a lifting member, installation time can be shortened. Furthermore, even if the storage space does not have a roof, the same effects and advantages as those of the present invention can be obtained by installing a waterproof cover as in the above embodiment and separately attaching an upper cover such as a sheet that covers the object to be protected and the top of the waterproof cover.
