Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an interior wall base structure in which a base material is provided on a vertical member on an interior wall. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 describes a fixing bracket that connects a furring strip to a metal base material, and a base structure of an interior wall that uses the fixing bracket. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2002-013211 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the interior wall base structure described in Patent Document 1, it was not possible to attach base material to the vertical members of the columns at the corners of the interior walls of the building because they were located at the corners.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide an interior wall base structure in which a base material is provided around a vertical member used in the interior wall, even if it is not possible to attach a base material to the vertical member itself. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The interior wall base structure of the present invention comprises a long vertical member used in the interior wall of a building, fixed to the vertical member, The structure is characterized by having vertical support members extending adjacent to and parallel to the vertical members, cover base materials fixed to the vertical support members and arranged around the vertical members to form an interior wall base having a U-shaped cross section, and fixing metal fittings for fixing the cover base material to the ceiling or floor of the building.

[0007] The cover is characterized in that a gap is formed between the vertical member and the cover base material.

[0008] The fixing brackets comprise a vertical fixing plate fixed to the cover base material, a horizontal fixing plate fixed to the ceiling or floor, and an inclined fixing plate located between the vertical fixing plate and the horizontal fixing plate when viewed from the side, and the cover base material is characterized in that its ends are fixed by being sandwiched between the vertical fixing plate and the inclined fixing plate.

[0009] The vertical fixing plate is characterized in that a hole the same as or larger than that of the inclined fixing plate is provided so as to coincide with the vertical fixing plate. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to the present invention, a cover base material that serves as an interior wall base and has a U-shaped cross section is placed around a long, rectangular shape used for the interior walls of a building, so that a base material can be provided around the vertical members.

[0011] Furthermore, since there is a gap between the vertical member and the cover base member, the insertion member that has penetrated the cover base member can be prevented from reaching the vertical member.

[0012] Furthermore, the cover base material is fixed by having its ends sandwiched between the vertical fixing plate and the inclined fixing plate, so that the cover base material can be fixed on its surface from both directions.

[0013] Furthermore, the vertical fixing plate has holes that are the same size as or larger than those of the inclined fixing plate, so that even when the insertion member is inserted, the force is released from the holes, preventing the vertical fixing plate from falling toward the back.

[0015] Hereinafter, the interior wall foundation structure 100 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0016] (Regarding the interior wall base structure 100) 1 shows a schematic perspective view of an interior wall base structure 100 according to the present invention. The interior wall base structure 100 is primarily used in interior wall corners and interior wall edges of buildings. The interior wall base structure 100 primarily comprises vertical members 10 extending vertically on the interior wall of the building, vertical support members 20 extending parallel to and adjacent to the vertical members 10, cover base members 30 fixed to the vertical support members 20 and arranged around the vertical members 10 to form an interior wall base having a U-shaped cross section, and fixing brackets 60 for fixing ends 31 of the cover base member 30 to a ceiling 40 or a floor 50.

[0017] The floor section 50 is part of the interior space of the building and is made up of floor materials such as floor finishing materials, floor underlayment materials, and flooring that make up the floor surface of the lower part of the room, while the ceiling section 40 is part of the interior space of the building and is made up of ceiling materials such as ceiling finishing materials and ceiling underlayment materials that make up the ceiling surface of the upper part of the room that separates the room from the underfloor and attic on the upper floor.

[0018] (About fixing bracket 60) 2 and 3, the fixing bracket 60 is a metal fitting that is approximately L-shaped in side view, and secures the cover base material 30 to the ceiling section 40 or floor section 50 of the building. As shown in Fig. 1, the fixing bracket 60 secures the middle surface of the cover base material 30, which has a U-shape in cross section, to the ceiling section 40 or floor section 50. In other words, it is positioned so as to face the vertical support member 20.

[0019] The fixing brackets 60 mainly consist of an upper fixing bracket 70 on the ceiling 40 side and a lower fixing bracket 80 on the floor 50 side. The upper fixing bracket 70 fixes the upper end 31a of the center surface of the cover base material 30 to the ceiling 40. The lower fixing bracket 80 fixes the lower end 31b of the center surface of the cover base material 30 to the floor 50.

[0020] In this embodiment, the fixing bracket 60 is fixed to the center surface of the cover base material 30, but if necessary, it may be fixed to both sides of the cover base material 30, or to three surfaces: both sides and the center surface.

[0021] The upper fixing bracket 70 mainly comprises a vertical fixing plate 62a for fixing the cover base material 30, a horizontal fixing plate 61a for fixing to the ceiling portion 40, an inclined fixing plate 63a located between the vertical fixing plate 62a and the horizontal fixing plate 61a in a side view and inclined, and a hole 64.

[0022] Similarly, the lower fixing bracket 80 mainly comprises a vertical fixing plate 62b that fixes the cover base material 30, a horizontal fixing plate 61b that is fixed to the floor portion 50, an inclined fixing plate 63b that is located between the vertical fixing plate 62b and the horizontal fixing plate 61b in a side view and is inclined, and a hole 64.

[0023] (Regarding horizontal fixing plate 61) The horizontal fixing plates 61a, 61b are plates fixed to the ceiling portion 40 or the floor portion 50. They are fixed to the ceiling portion 40 or the floor portion 50 at least in two or more places by insertion members S. The horizontal fixing plates 61a, 61b may be provided with insertion holes for insertion.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, the corners of the horizontal fixing plates 61a and 61b are chamfered to prevent injury to the installer.

[0025] (Regarding vertical fixing plate 62) As shown in Figure 1, the vertical fixing plates 62a and 62b are located on the inner surface side of the cover base material 30. Therefore, even when the insertion member S is driven in from the inclined fixing plate 63, the vertical fixing plates 62a and 62b support the cover base material 30 with a surface so that the force does not escape to the back side of the cover base material 30. Since the support is provided with a surface rather than a point, the cover base material 30 can be stably supported.

[0026] In this embodiment, the vertical fixing plate 62 is formed so as to be approximately perpendicular to the horizontal fixing plate 61, but if the vertical member 10 is fixed from the ceiling portion 40 or the floor portion 50 at an angle other than a right angle, the upper fixing bracket 70 and the lower fixing bracket 80 may also be formed so as to be at the same angle.

[0027] Furthermore, the width of the vertical fixing plate 62 is always shorter than the center surface of the cover base material 30. Therefore, it is possible to use the same type of fixing bracket 60 even if the wall thickness changes, without having to prepare different fixing brackets 60 according to the wall thickness.

[0028] 2, the corners of the vertical fixing plate 62 are chamfered. Chamfering the corners helps prevent injury to the installer.

[0029] (Regarding the inclined fixed plate 63) The inclined fixing plate 63 is an inclined plate located between the vertical fixing plate 62 and the horizontal fixing plate 61 in a side view. As shown in Fig. 3(c), the inclined fixing plate 63 normally rises from the intersection of the vertical fixing plate 62 and the horizontal fixing plate 61 in a side view and is inclined toward the vertical fixing plate 62. When attaching the cover base material 30 or when fixing the inclined fixing plate 63 with the insertion member S, the inclination angle of the inclined fixing plate 63 can be freely changed.

[0030] Also, as shown in Figure 1, the inclined fixing plate 63 and the vertical fixing plate 62 sandwich the middle surface of the cover base material 30, so that the inclined fixing plate 63 fixes it to the outer surface of the cover base material 30, and the vertical fixing plate 62 fixes it to the inner surface of the cover base material 30.

[0031] Then, by inserting an inserting member S such as a screw from above the inclined fixing plate 63, the fixing metal fitting 60 can be fixed to the cover base material 30.

[0032] The inclined fixing plate 63 is provided with a hole 64 that is the same size as or larger than the inclined fixing plate 63. In this embodiment, the inclined fixing plate 63 is formed by cutting the vertical fixing plate 62 into a square shape and tilting it down, so the hole 64 and the inclined fixing plate 63 are aligned.

[0033] When inserting an inserting member S such as a screw from above the inclined fixing plate 63, the inserting member S passes through the hole 64 of the vertical fixing plate 62, and the force is not transmitted to the vertical fixing plate 62 in the direction of the vertical support material 20 but escapes through the hole 64, so that the vertical fixing plate 62 can be prevented from falling toward the back side, and the cover base material 30 can be stably fixed.

[0034] 1, the corners of the inclined fixing plate 63 are chamfered. Chamfering the corners helps prevent injury to the installer.

[0035] (Regarding vertical member 10) The vertical members 10 are long members that extend linearly on the interior walls of a building and cannot be used primarily as base materials. In this embodiment, the vertical members 10 are structural columns made of steel that extend linearly in the vertical direction on the interior walls, support the vertical load of the building, and cannot be fastened with inserting members such as screws.

[0036] 1 and 4, the upper and lower ends of the vertical members 10 are cylindrical round steel bars, and the remaining middle portion is made of rectangular steel bars. As long as the vertical members 10 are used in the interior walls of a building, they may be pipes, piping, etc., and are not limited to structural columns. Furthermore, even if they do not extend vertically, the vertical members 10 may extend diagonally using braces, as in a load-bearing wall.

[0037] (About cover base material 30) The cover base material 30 is a long base material made of thin steel plate with a U-shaped cross section as shown in Figure 1, and is arranged around the vertical member 10. By providing the cover base material 30, it is possible to attach an interior wall material I such as gypsum board around the vertical member 10, which cannot be used as a base material.

[0038] The cover base material 30 is not rectangular in cross section but U-shaped in cross section, so that even if the vertical member 10 has already been installed, it can be attached later and the vertical member 10 can be passed through it.

[0039] 1 and 7, a gap B is formed between the vertical member 10 and the cover base material 30. Because the gap B is formed, even when an inserting member S such as a screw is driven into the cover base material 30, the tip of the inserting member S can be prevented from reaching the vertical member 10.

[0040] As shown in Fig. 8, the upper end 31a of the cover base material 30 is sandwiched and fixed between the vertical fixing plate 62a and the inclined fixing plate 63a of the upper fixing bracket 70. For the sake of explanation, only the center surface of the cover base material 30 is shown in Fig. 8.

[0041] Similarly, the lower end 31b of the cover base material 30 is sandwiched and fixed between the vertical fixing plate 62b and the inclined fixing plate 63b of the lower fixing metal fitting 80.

[0042] The height position at which the cover base material 30 is fixed to the inclined fixing plate 63 and the vertical fixing plate 62 by the inserting member S is somewhere within a height position that can penetrate both the inclined fixing plate 63 and the vertical fixing plate 62, but is not specifically specified and is determined by the ceiling heights H1 and H2 from the floor portion 50 to the ceiling portion 40.

[0043] 8, when the ceiling height is low, such as H1, the lower end 31b of the cover base material 30 falls due to gravity and is fixed near the intersection of the vertical fixing plate 62b and the inclined fixing plate 63b of the lower fixing bracket 80. Similarly, the upper end 31a of the cover base material 30 is fixed near the intersection of the vertical fixing plate 62a and the inclined fixing plate 63a of the upper fixing bracket 70.

[0044] On the other hand, when the ceiling height H2 is high and the ceiling height H1 is longer than the length L of the cover base material 30, the lower end 31b of the cover base material 30 is fixed by gravity near the intersection of the vertical fixing plate 62b and the inclined fixing plate 63b of the lower fixing bracket 80. On the other hand, the upper end 31a of the cover base material 30 is fixed near the tip 62a1 of the inclined fixing plate 63a and the vertical fixing plate 62a.

[0045] In this way, even if the ceiling heights H1 and H2 are different, the cover base material 30 can be adapted to different ceiling heights by the lengths of the vertical fixing plates 62a and the inclined fixing plates 63a in addition to the length L of the cover base material 30. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare cover base materials 30 with different lengths L for each different ceiling height, and the same cover base material 30 can be reused.

[0046] In addition, in the case of ceiling height H2, the lower end 31b of the cover base material 30 is fixed near the point where the vertical fixing plate 62b and the inclined fixing plate 63b of the lower fixing bracket 80 intersect, but if necessary, the lower end 31b of the cover base material 30 may be fixed near the tip of the vertical fixing plate 62b and the inclined fixing plate 63b, as in the case of the upper fixing bracket 70.

[0047] (Regarding the vertical support member 20) The vertical support members 20 are attached adjacent to and parallel to the vertical members 10. The vertical support members 20 are made of wood, for example, and are fixed to the vertical members 10 using adhesive or the like. Also, as shown in Figure 1, cover base members 30 are fixed at a fixed pitch from both sides by inserting members S such as screws.

[0048] The length of the vertical support member 20 is formed to be the same as that of the cover base material 30, and the width of the vertical support member 20 is formed to be the same as that of the cover base material 30.

[0049] The vertical support material 20 is sandwiched and fixed between both sides of the cover base material 30, so by using the vertical support material 20, it is possible to prevent the both sides of the cover base material 30 from widening or narrowing.

[0050] (About the installation procedure) The construction procedure for the interior wall foundation structure 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, as shown in Fig. 4, the vertical support member 20 is attached to the back side of the vertical member 10 of the inner wall. In this embodiment, an adhesive is used as the attachment method, but the method is not particularly limited as long as it can be attached.

[0051] Thereafter, the positions where the upper fixing bracket 70 and the lower fixing bracket 80 will be fixed to the ceiling section 40 and the floor section 50 are determined. When determining the positions, consideration is given to the width of the gap B and the widths of both sides of the cover base material 30. After determining the positions, the upper fixing bracket 70 and the lower fixing bracket 80 are fixed to the ceiling section 40 and the floor section 50 using the insertion members S.

[0052] Thereafter, the cover base material 30 is attached as shown in Fig. 5. When attaching, the inclined fixing plate 63a of the upper fixing bracket 70 is first tilted toward the horizontal fixing plate 61a. Then, the lower end 31b of the cover base material 30 is sandwiched between the inclined fixing plate 63a and the vertical fixing plate 62a of the lower fixing bracket 80, and then the upper end 31a of the cover base material 30 is placed against the vertical fixing plate 62a, and the tilted inclined fixing plate 63a is raised toward the cover base material 30. This allows the end 30 of the cover base material 30 to be sandwiched between the inclined fixing plates 63a, 63b and the vertical fixing plates 62a, 62b.

[0053] 6, the cover base material 30 is fixed to the vertical support member 20 by driving the inserting members S into the cover base material 30 from both sides at a fixed pitch. Then, the inserting members S are driven into the cover base material 30 from the inclined fixing plate 63 to fix it, thereby completing the series of construction steps for the interior wall base structure 100.

[0054] In addition, although the cover base material 30 is attached after the upper fixing bracket 70 is fixed to the ceiling portion 40, the upper end 31a of the cover base material 30 may be sandwiched between the inclined fixing plate 63a and the vertical fixing plate 62a of the upper fixing bracket 70 and then the upper fixing bracket 70 may be fixed to the ceiling portion 40.

[0055] Thereafter, as shown in Fig. 7, an interior wall material I such as gypsum board can be attached to the cover base material 30 from four directions using insertion members S. Fig. 7(a) is a cross-sectional view of the interior wall base structure 100 used at a corner of an interior wall. Fig. 7(b) is a cross-sectional view of the interior wall base structure 100 used at an end of an interior wall. As shown in Fig. 7, studs T are used in areas other than the ends and corners.
