[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-060047 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] 3 is a diagram showing an example of a spacer 300. A known spacer 300 is made of a steel plate and includes a support portion 310, a pair of legs 320, and a pair of engaging portions 330. This type of spacer 300 is installed on a deck plate, for example, at a construction site where a composite slab structure using a predetermined deck plate is being constructed.

[0005] The spacers 300 are designed to engage with the deck plate at engagement portions 330, and workers are required to engage each of the multiple spacers 300 with the deck plate at the site. The task of engaging (installing) the spacers 300 with the deck plate places a heavy burden on workers, and there is a demand for improved work efficiency.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a technology that reduces the workload of installing spacers on a deck plate. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The construction jig of the present invention, which solves the above-mentioned problems, is a construction jig that installs a spacer that supports reinforcing bars arranged longitudinally on a deck plate having a wave-shaped configuration in which multiple peaks and valley bottoms that are connected to each other via inclined portions, by rotating the spacer at the valley bottoms, and is equipped with a cylindrical engaging member with at least one end open that engages with the spacer, and the engaging member has a circumferential surface as its inner surface, and at least two engaging portions that are formed on the inner surface so as to engage with the spacer and extend circumferentially from one end on the side of the opening that accommodates the spacer to the other end on the opposite side, and is characterized in that the spacer is rotated along the engaging portions by moving the engaging member along its axis when the engaging portions are engaged with the spacer.

[0008] In the construction jig according to one aspect of the present invention, it is preferable that the engagement portions extend parallel to each other at positions opposite each other in the radial direction.

[0009] In one embodiment of the construction jig of the present invention, it is preferable that the at least two engaging portions do not overlap with each other on the axis of the engaging member, at least in portions excluding one end portion on the one end side and the other end portion on the other end side.

[0010] In one embodiment of the construction jig of the present invention, it is preferable that the engagement portion extends over an angular range of at least 90° between one end on the one end side and the other end on the other end side.

[0011] In one embodiment of the construction jig of the present invention, it is preferable that the engaging member has a closed end at the other end and is provided with an operating member connected to the closed side of the engaging member, which moves the engaging member, while engaged with the spacer, in the direction of the axis.

[0012] The spacer installation method of the present invention for solving the above problem is an installation method in which the spacer is rotated using the above construction jig and installed on the deck plate, and is characterized by including a temporary placement step of temporarily placing the spacer at the valley bottom, an engagement step of engaging the construction jig with the spacer installed at the valley bottom, a rotation step of pushing the construction jig engaged with the spacer toward the deck plate to rotate the spacer, and a locking step of locking the spacer to the deck plate.

[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, components common to each embodiment will be designated by the same reference numerals, and repeated description will be omitted. It should be noted that the drawings are schematic, and the dimensional relationships and ratios of each element may differ from the actual ones. The drawings may also include portions with different dimensional relationships and ratios.

[0016] <Composite slab> FIG. 1A is a diagram showing a composite slab 100 using a deck plate 200 with spacers. FIG. 1B is a perspective view showing the composite slab 100 with the concrete section 600 partially removed. The composite slab 100 according to this embodiment is used, for example, for the floor or roof of a steel frame structure. The composite slab 100 includes a deck plate 200, spacers 300, reinforcing bars 400 as reinforcing materials, a welded wire mesh 500, and a concrete section 600. The deck plate 200 is placed between beams, for example, made of H-shaped steel, arranged opposite each other in a structure.

[0017] [Deck plate] 2 is a front view illustrating the configuration of the deck plate 200. The deck plate 200 is a corrugated steel plate formed by roll forming or the like of a thin steel plate that has been subjected to a surface treatment such as galvanization. The deck plate 200 has a peak portion 210, a valley bottom portion 220, and an inclined portion 230. Note that the deck plate 200 does not necessarily have to be subjected to a surface treatment such as galvanization.

[0018] In the following, the direction in which the deck plate 200 spans between beams is referred to as the longitudinal direction (length direction) L of the deck plate 200, and the direction in which the deck plate 200 is laid out intersecting the longitudinal direction L is referred to as the lateral direction (width direction) W. The deck plate 200 has a wave shape in which peaks 210 and valley bottoms 220 each extending in the longitudinal direction L are connected to each other in the lateral direction W via inclined portions 230.

[0019] Each deck plate 200 consists of two peaks 210, one valley bottom 220, and two pairs of inclined sections 230, and is formed into a wave shape in cross section along the short direction W. Deck plate 200 may be end-closed at both ends in the long direction L.

[0020] The peak portion 210 is a flat portion located above the beam when the peak portion 210 is bridged between beams, and is a plate-like portion extending in the longitudinal direction L. The peak portion 210 has a groove 211. The groove 211 is formed so as to be recessed toward the valley bottom 220. The groove 211 extends in the longitudinal direction L, and when there is only one groove 211, it is provided near the center in the lateral direction W. The groove 211 in the peak portion 210 improves the strength of the peak portion 210. The number of grooves 211 is not limited to one, and there may be multiple grooves 211 formed in the peak portion 210, or there may be no grooves at all.

[0021] The valley bottom 220 is parallel or approximately parallel to the peak portion 210, and is a flat portion that is placed on the beam with respect to the peak portion 210 when the structure is bridged between beams. The valley bottom 220 is a plate-like portion that extends in the longitudinal direction L. The valley bottom 220 does not overlap with the peak portion 210 in the short direction W. Note that the valley bottom 220 may have a protruding ridge that extends along the longitudinal direction L and protrudes toward the peak portion 210.

[0022] The inclined portions 230 are portions that connect the peaks 210 and the valley bottoms 220, and are plate-shaped portions that extend in the longitudinal direction L. The inclined portions 230 extend obliquely from both end sides of the peaks 210 toward the valley bottoms 220 in the short direction W. The inclined portions 230 are inclined so as to form a predetermined angle, for example, an obtuse angle, with respect to the peaks 210 and the valley bottoms 220. Note that the inclined portions 230 may be formed with a convex ridge that extends along the longitudinal direction L and protrudes toward the inclined portions 230 that face each other across the valley bottoms 220, or with a plurality of convex portions that are provided at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction L.

[0023] A bulging portion 241 is formed in a transition portion 240 between the valley bottom 220 and the inclined portion 230. The bulging portion 241 is a portion that protrudes to opposite sides of the pair of inclined portions 230. That is, in the inclined portions 230 that face each other across the valley bottom 220, the bulging portions 241 bulge in directions that bring them closer to each other.

[0024] An engagement groove (dovetail groove) 242 with which the spacer 300 engages is formed between the bulge portion 241 and the valley bottom 220. The cross section of the engagement groove 242 along the short direction W is curved. That is, in a pair of opposing inclined portions 230 on one surface of the deck plate 200, the engagement grooves 242 are formed to face each other and curve in directions away from each other. An engagement portion 330 of the spacer 300, which will be described later, enters the engagement groove 242. The spacer 300 is locked to the deck plate 200 by fitting into the engagement portions 330 that face each other across the valley bottom 220.

[0025] [Spacer] A pair of engaging portions 330 (described later) enter and engage with opposing engaging grooves 242 of the spacer 300, fixing the position of the spacer 300 relative to the deck plate 200, and the bulging portions 241 prevent the spacer 300 from coming out of the engaging grooves 242. In this fixed state, the spacer 300 supports the reinforcing bars 400 from below, and can maintain a distance from the reinforcing bars 400 arranged on the deck plate 200.

[0026] 3 is a perspective view illustrating the configuration of a spacer 300. A plurality of spacers 300 are provided at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction L at the valley bottom 220 on one surface (top surface) of the deck plate 200. When installed at the valley bottom 220, the spacers 300 support the reinforcing bars 400 arranged along the longitudinal direction L of the deck plate 200 at positions beyond the crests 210 and spaced a predetermined height from the valley bottom 220. The spacers 300 support the reinforcing bars 400 along the longitudinal direction L from the valley bottom 220 side.

[0027] The spacer 300 is formed, for example, from a steel plate. The spacer 300 mainly includes a support portion 310, a pair of legs 320, and a pair of engaging portions 330. The spacer 300 is a member in which the support portion 310, the pair of legs 320, and the pair of engaging portions 330 are continuously and integrally formed. The direction in which the support portion 310 supports the reinforcing bar 400 coincides with the longitudinal direction L of the deck plate 200.

[0028] The support portion 310 is a portion that supports the reinforcing bar 400, and is formed, for example, in a rectangular or approximately rectangular shape in a plan view. The support portion 310 is located at the uppermost position when the spacer 300 is installed on the deck plate 200. The support portion 310 has, for example, one recess 311. When the spacer 300 is installed on the deck plate 200, the recess 311 is formed as an arc-shaped recess toward the valley bottom 220 of the deck plate 200, and extends along the longitudinal direction L of the deck plate 200. The recess 311 receives the reinforcing bar 400 along its extending direction (longitudinal direction L).

[0029] The pair of legs 320 extend from a pair of opposing edges of the support portion 310 to the same side at a predetermined angle relative to the main surface of the support portion 310. The pair of legs 320 are provided at an obtuse angle relative to the support portion 310, with one end of each extending leg being connected to the support portion 310, and extend away from the support portion 310. In other words, the width 320D between the pair of legs 320 changes continuously along the direction of the height 300H of the spacer 300, and specifically, increases from the support portion 310 side toward the engagement portion 330 side.

[0030] The pair of legs 320 are formed continuously from a single steel plate and are therefore elastically deformable so as to move toward and away from each other. An engaging portion 330 is provided at the other end of each leg 320 opposite the support portion 310 (the other end in the extending direction).

[0031] The pair of engaging portions 330 extend in directions away from each other from the other end of each leg portion 320. When the spacer 300 is installed on the deck plate 200, the pair of engaging portions 330 extend parallel or approximately parallel to the support portion 310 along the short-side direction W. The pair of engaging portions 330 are provided such that one end of each is connected to the leg portion 320.

[0032] The pair of engaging portions 330 engage with the opposing engaging grooves 242 of the deck plate 200, thereby restricting the spacer 300 from being removed from the deck plate 200. This keeps the spacer 300 installed on the deck plate 200. The pair of engaging portions 330 are in contact with the valley bottoms 220 when the spacer 300 is installed on the deck plate 200.

[0033] The pair of engaging portions 330 have two corners 331, 332 on the free end (other end) side. One corner 331 is a portion where an edge extending from leg portion 320 and an edge facing leg portion 320 intersect at a right angle or approximately a right angle. The other corner 332 is provided on the opposite side to one corner 331, and is a portion where the edge extending from leg portion 320 and the edge facing leg portion 320 are continuous in a rounded arc shape.

[0034] In each engaging portion 330, the corners 331 and 332 are formed at diagonally opposite positions. This is because when the spacer 300 is rotated to engage the engaging portion 330 with the engaging groove 242, the corner 332 is positioned on the leading side in the rotation direction of the engaging portion 330, thereby preventing the engaging portion 330 from getting caught in the engaging groove 242 and allowing the engaging portion 330 to rotate smoothly and engage with the engaging groove 242.

[0035] [Rebar, welded wire mesh] The reinforcing bars 400 are supported by a plurality of spacers 300 provided along the longitudinal direction L of the deck plate 200 and are arranged to extend in the longitudinal direction L of the deck plate 200. Specifically, the reinforcing bars 400 are placed in recesses 311 of the support portions 310 of the spacers 300 engaged with the engagement grooves 242 of the deck plate 200, and are arranged so that the reinforcing bars 400 do not roll off the support portions 310.

[0036] The reinforcing bars 400 are, for example, deformed reinforcing bars made by rolling steel to provide uneven protrusions called ribs or nodes on the surface. However, the reinforcing bars are not limited to these, and various shapes and types of reinforcing bars, such as round steel or square steel, or rods made of other materials may be used as long as they function as reinforcing materials for the composite slab 100. The welded wire mesh 500 is, for example, formed into a lattice shape using steel wires and is placed on top of the spacers 300 and the reinforcing bars 400.

[0037] [Concrete section] The concrete section 600 is formed by pouring and solidifying concrete onto one surface (top surface) of the deck plate 200. The concrete section 600 is poured so as to cover the spacers 300, the reinforcing bars 400, and the welded wire mesh 500, and after the concrete section 600 has solidified, the spacers 300, the reinforcing bars 400, and the welded wire mesh 500 are embedded within the concrete section 600.

[0038] <Construction jig> To install the spacers 300 on the deck plate 200, the worker rotates the spacers 300, which have been temporarily placed on the deck plate 200, clockwise or counterclockwise, for example, by 90 degrees, so that the engagement portions 330 of the spacers 300 fit into the engagement grooves 242 of the deck plate 200. This operation is performed in a bent-over position, which places a great burden on the worker who installs the multiple spacers 300 that have been temporarily placed on the deck plate 200.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to make it easier for the engagement portion 330 of the spacer 300 to enter the engagement groove 242 of the deck plate 200, the pair of legs 320 must be brought closer together and rotated. However, because the spacer 300 is made of steel plate, it requires a great deal of effort for a worker to manually bring the pair of legs 320 of the spacer 300 closer together.

[0040] Therefore, a construction jig 1 according to the present embodiment is used. Construction jig 1 is a jig that engages with spacer 300, rotates spacer 300, and inserts engagement portion 330 into engagement groove 242 of deck plate 200 to lock spacer 300 to deck plate 200.

[0041] The construction jig 1 of this embodiment is a construction jig 1 that rotates and installs a spacer 300 that supports reinforcing bars 400 arranged in the longitudinal direction L at the valley bottoms 220 of the deck plate 200, which has a wave-shaped configuration in which multiple peaks 210 and valley bottoms 220 that are continuous with each other via inclined portions 230 are connected. The spacer 300 supports reinforcing bars 400 arranged in the longitudinal direction L at the valley bottoms 220 of the deck plate 200. The construction jig 1 is characterized in that the construction jig 1 includes a cylindrical member (engaging member) 10 having an opening at least at one end that engages with the spacer 300, and the cylindrical member 10 has a circumferential surface as an inner peripheral surface 14, and at least two engaging protrusions (engaging portions) 21, 22 that are formed on the inner peripheral surface 14 so as to engage with the spacer 300 and extend circumferentially from one end on the side of the opening 12 that accommodates the spacer 300 to the other end on the opposite side. The construction jig 1 is characterized in that the cylindrical member 10 is moved along the axis x when the engaging protrusions 21, 22 are engaged with the spacer 300, thereby rotating the spacer 300 along the engaging protrusions 21, 22. The construction jig 1 according to this embodiment will be specifically described below.

[0042] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a construction jig 1 according to this embodiment. The construction jig 1 has a tubular member (engagement member) 10 and an operating member 30. The tubular member 10 and the operating member 30 are both made of, for example, metal and are integrally formed by welding, for example. The tubular member 10 has a cross section intersecting with an axis x passing through the center that is circular or approximately rectangular. The tubular member 10 has a tubular portion 11 and a closing portion 13. The tubular portion 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape and extends around the axis x. The tubular portion 11 has an opening 12 at one end and is closed at the other end by the closing portion 13.

[0043] Two marks M1 and M2 are provided on the closing portion 13 of the cylindrical member 10. The marks M1 and M2 are located at positions that face each other in the radial direction across the axis x of the cylindrical member 10. On the opening 12 side of the cylindrical member 10, starting ends 21a and 22a of engaging protrusions 21 and 22, which will be described later, are located at positions corresponding to the positions of the marks M1 and M2. Note that the marks M1 and M2 do not necessarily have to be provided.

[0044] FIG. 5A is a plan view of the tubular member 10 as seen from the opening side. FIG. 5B is a cross-sectional view of the tubular member 10 along the axis x. The inner circumferential surface 14 of the tubular member 10 is formed as a circumferential surface. The tubular member 10 has two engaging protrusions 21, 22. The engaging protrusions 21, 22 protrude inward from the inner circumferential surface 14 toward the axis x passing through the center of the tubular member 10. In this embodiment, the engaging protrusions 21, 22 extend spirally around the axis x along the inner circumferential surface from one end to the other end of the tubular member 10. Starting ends (one end) 21a, 22a on one end side of the engaging protrusions 21, 22 are located at the end on the opening 12 side of the tubular member 10, and ending ends (other end) 21b, 22b on the other end side are located on the closing portion 13 side of the tubular member 10.

[0045] The starting end 21a of the engaging protrusion 21 and the starting end 22a of the engaging protrusion 22 are positioned opposite each other in the radial direction, and the terminal end 21b of the engaging protrusion 21 and the terminal end 22b of the engaging protrusion 22 are positioned opposite each other in the radial direction. In this embodiment, the angle range Rad between the starting ends 21a, 22a and the terminal ends 21b, 22b of the engaging protrusions 21, 22 is 180°, but the angle range Rad may be at least 90° or more.

[0046] The engaging protrusions 21, 22 have a predetermined thickness, extend along the inner circumferential surface 14, and have engaging surfaces 21c, 22c facing radially. The engaging protrusions 21, 22 engage with the spacer 300, for example, at predetermined locations on the engaging surfaces 21c, 22c that are diagonally aligned with the spacer 300. The widths of the engaging protrusions 21, 22 are the same from the starting ends 21a, 22a to the terminal ends 21b, 22b. The inner diameter of the tubular member 10 at the engaging protrusions 21, 22 is set smaller than the diagonal width 300CW (see FIG. 3) at any position of the leg portion 320 of the spacer 300 in the direction of the height 300H.

[0047] 6 is a development view of the inner peripheral surface 14 of the tubular member 10. The height 10H of the tubular portion 11 along the axis x need only be a dimension sufficient to rotate the spacer 300 by at least 90° while the construction jig 1 is in contact with the spacer 300 between the starting ends 21a, 22a and the ending ends 21b, 22b of the engaging protrusions 21, 22. For example, when the starting ends 21a, 22a of the engaging protrusions 21, 22 of the tubular member 10 engage with the spacer 300 and the tubular member 10 is pushed toward the spacer 300 along the axis x to rotate the spacer 300, it is preferable that the tubular member 10 have a height 10H sufficient to rotate the spacer 300 and engage the spacer 300 with the deck plate 200 before the tubular portion 11 contacts the engaging portion 330 of the spacer 300 at the end on the opening 12 side.

[0048] The engaging protrusions 21, 22 extend at a predetermined angle θ relative to the opening edge 12a on the opening 12 side of the engaging member 10 and the closing edge 13a on the closing portion 13 side. The angle θ is in the range of 0°<θ<90°, preferably 35°<θ<80°, and more preferably 50°<θ<60°. The angle θ is determined or limited as appropriate based on the height 10H of the tubular member 10, the angle range Rad over which the engaging protrusions 21, 22 extend, the inner diameters of the engaging protrusions 21, 22, the height 300H of the spacer 300 to be rotated, and the diagonal width 300CW of the spacer 300 at the position where the spacer 300 first engages with the tubular member 10, etc.

[0049] The operating member 30 has a rod-shaped extension portion 31 and a grip portion 32. The extension portion 31 is formed, for example, from a metal rod-shaped member. One end of the extension portion 31 is connected to the center of the closure portion 13 of the tubular member 10, for example, by welding. The extension length of the extension portion 31 may be set appropriately, so that, for example, a worker using the construction jig 1 can install the spacer 300 while standing.

[0050] The gripping portion 32 is formed, for example, by a rod-shaped member made of metal. The extending direction of the gripping portion 32 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the extending portion 31. The extending portion 31 and the gripping portion 32 are connected to each other to form a T-shape. The other end of the extending portion 31 is connected to the approximate center of the gripping portion 32 in the longitudinal direction by, for example, welding. The gripping portion 32 is the portion that an operator grasps when rotating the spacer 300.

[0051] <How to install the spacer> Next, the method includes the steps of using the installation jig 1 according to this embodiment to temporarily place the spacer 300 at the valley bottom 220, an engagement step of engaging the installation jig 1 with the spacer 300 installed at the valley bottom 220, a rotation step of pushing the installation jig 1 engaged with the spacer 300 toward the deck plate 200 to rotate the spacer 300, and a locking step of locking the spacer 300 to the deck plate 200. A method of installing the spacer 300 on the deck plate 200 will now be described in detail.

[0052] Figure 7A is a diagram showing a spacer 300 temporarily placed on a deck plate 200. Figure 7B is a plan view showing an engagement between the construction jig 1 and spacer 300 according to this embodiment. The spacer 300 is temporarily placed on the valley bottom 220 of the deck plate 200 so that the pair of legs 320 each face in the longitudinal direction L, for example, so that the opposing edges of the support portions 310 are parallel or approximately parallel to the engagement grooves 242 of the deck plate 200. A plurality of spacers 300 are lined up at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction L on the valley bottom 220 of the deck plate 200 (temporary installation process).

[0053] In this state, the construction jig 1 is brought close to the spacer 300 from the side of the opening 12. In this case, the tubular member 10 is brought close to the spacer 300 so that the marks M1 and M2 on the tubular member 10 are positioned diagonally on the spacer 300. As a result, the engaging protrusions 21 and 22 diagonally engage (contact) the support portion 310 and the leg portion 320 of the spacer 300 at or near the starting ends 21 a and 22 a (engagement step). For example, the engaging protrusions 21 and 22 engage with the leg portion 320 of the spacer 300 at position P1 (see FIGS. 6 and 7B) in the direction of height 10H.

[0054] FIG. 8A is a diagram showing a process of rotating the spacer 300 using the installation jig 1. FIG. 8B is a diagram showing the state of the spacer 300 rotating. Next, the worker grasps the gripping portion 32 and pushes the tubular member 10 toward the deck plate 200 along the axis x. In this case, the position in the direction of height 300H of the spacer 300 that contacts the engaging protrusions 21, 22 remains the same or approximately the same, but the position in the direction of height 10H of the engaging protrusions 21, 22 that contact the spacer 300 changes from position P1 to position P2 (see FIGS. 6 and 8B). Accordingly, the spacer 300 is pressed in the same direction by the engaging protrusions 21, 22 at diagonal positions, and therefore rotates along the extension direction of the engaging protrusions 21, 22 (rotation process).

[0055] Furthermore, since the leg portions 320 of the spacer 300 are expanded from the top to the bottom in the direction of the height 300H, contact with the engaging protrusions 21, 22 causes them to approach each other on the side of the engaging portion 330 in the direction of the height 300H of the spacer 300, and they also elastically return to their original state. Therefore, the engagement state between the leg portions 320 and the engaging protrusions 21, 22 is strong. Note that the direction in which the spacer 300 is rotated is preferably such that the other corner portion 332 leads in the rotation direction.

[0056] 9A is a diagram showing a process of using the installation jig 1 to lock the spacer 300 to the deck plate 200. FIG. 9B is a diagram showing the state in which the spacer 300 is locked to the deck plate 200. By further pushing the tubular member 10 into the spacer 300, the engaging protrusions 21, 22 of the tubular member 10 change the position of contact with the spacer 300 in the direction of height 10H from position P2 to position P3 while maintaining contact (engagement) with the pair of legs 320 of the spacer 300 (see FIGS. 6B and 9B). The tubular member 10 is pushed in until the engaging portion 330 of the spacer 300 slides into the engaging groove 242 of the deck plate 200.

[0057] Finally, the installation jig 1 is pulled up to pull the tubular member 10 out of the spacer 300. Since the engagement portion 330 of the spacer 300 is inserted into the engagement groove 242 of the deck plate 200, the tubular member 10 is released from the spacer 300.

[0058] With the construction jig 1 described above, the spacer 300 can be rotated by simply pushing the tubular member 10 of the construction jig 1 into the spacer 300, and the engagement portion 330 of the spacer 300 can be inserted into the engagement groove 242 of the deck plate 200, without direct manual work by a worker, thereby improving work efficiency and significantly reducing the workload.

[0059] Furthermore, since the engaging protrusions 21, 22 are provided parallel to each other at opposing positions, the spacer 300 can be acted on a diagonal line, and the spacer 300 can be rotated stably and reliably.

[0060] Furthermore, the engaging protrusions 21, 22 do not overlap each other between the starting ends 21a, 22a and the ending ends 21b, 22b in the direction of height 10H, so that, for example, the two engaging protrusions 21, 22 do not come into contact with one leg 320 at different height positions, making it easier to pull out the tubular member 10 from the spacer 300.

[0061] Furthermore, the engaging protrusions 21, 22 extend over an angular range Rad of at least 90° on the inner surface 14 of the tubular member 10, and in this embodiment, an angular range Rad of 180°, so that sufficient space can be secured for rotating the spacer 300 by 90°.

[0062] Furthermore, the construction jig 1 is equipped with an operating member 30 having an extension 31 extending in the height direction from the cylindrical member 10, so that a worker can handle the construction jig 1 while standing upright without bending over. Also, the gripping portion 32 of the operating member 30 improves operability for the worker.

[0063] Furthermore, since the spacer 300 can be approached based on the marks M1 and M2, the engaging protrusions 21 and 22 can be initially engaged with the spacer 300 at their respective starting ends 21a and 22a or at a position close to the starting ends 21a and 22a, thereby increasing the distance in the height direction over which the engaging protrusions 21 and 22 engage with the spacer 300.

[0064] Furthermore, according to the construction jig 1 of this embodiment, if the end face of the tubular portion 11 on the opening 12 side comes into contact with the engaging portion 330 of the spacer 300 before the engaging portion 330 of the spacer 300 enters the engaging groove 242 of the deck plate 200, the operating member 30 can be rotated to rotate the tubular member 10, thereby causing the spacer 300 to further rotate by the engaging protrusions 21, 22 engaged with the spacer 300.

[0065] <Modification> The construction jigs 1A and 1B according to Modifications 1 and 2 are described below. FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the construction jig 1A according to Modification 1. Note that, below, the same components as those in the construction jig 1 are given the same reference numerals, and their description may be omitted. The construction jig 1A according to Modification 1 has a tubular member 10, an operating member 30, and a step plate 40. The step plate 40 is formed, for example, from a steel plate and is attached to the closing portion 13. The step plate 40 is formed rectangular in a plan view, and is attached to the closing portion 13 with a portion protruding radially from the tubular portion 11. The construction jig 1A can achieve the same effects as the construction jig 1. Furthermore, by stepping on the step plate 40 when rotating the spacer 300 with the construction jig 1A, it becomes easier to press the construction jig 1A into the spacer 300.

[0066] FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a construction jig 1B according to Modification 2. Note that, below, the same components as those in construction jig 1 are given the same reference numerals, and their description may be omitted. Construction jig 1B according to Modification 2 has a tubular member 10B and a step plate 40. The tubular member 10B is open at both ends in the direction of axis x, and the opening on the side opposite opening 12 is closed by the step plate 40. Construction jig 1B can achieve the effects achieved by construction jigs 1 and 1A.

[0067] <Other> While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and Modifications 1 to 3 and includes all aspects encompassed by the concept of the present invention and the scope of the claims. Furthermore, various configurations may be appropriately and selectively combined to achieve at least some of the above-described problems and advantages. For example, in the above-described embodiments, one end of the tubular member 10 at the height 10H coincides with the terminal ends 21b, 22b of the engaging protrusions 21, 22. However, the tubular portion 11 may have an extension (not shown) extending from the terminal ends 21b, 22b of the engaging protrusions 21, 22 along the axis x toward the side opposite the opening 12. The extension allows the terminal ends 21b, 22b of the engaging protrusions 21, 22 to engage with the spacer 300, even when the terminal ends 21b, 22b extend beyond the support portion 310 of the spacer 300 toward the engaging portion 330.

[0068] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, two engaging protrusions 21, 22 are provided over an angle range Rad of 180° on the inner peripheral surface 14 of the cylindrical member 10, but, for example, three engaging protrusions 21, 22 may be provided at equal intervals over an angle range Rad of 120°, or four engaging protrusions 21, 22 may be provided at equal intervals over an angle range Rad of 90°. This increases the number of engagement points of the construction jigs 1, 1A, 1B with the spacer 300.

[0069] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment and the like, the cylindrical member 10 engages with the spacer 300 by the engaging protrusions 21, 22. However, instead of the engaging protrusions 21, 22, for example, a recessed groove portion extending spirally in the circumferential direction may be formed in the inner peripheral surface 14. The recessed groove portion engages with the spacer 300 at each corner portion 300C (see FIG. 3) of the support portion 310, for example. [Explanation of symbols]
