[Modes for carrying out the invention] 【0019】 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 【0020】 Figures 1 to 3 show an example of the form of a structural component according to the present invention. Component 1 is a hollow, roughly rectangular prism-shaped part as shown in Figure 1, and grooves 2 are provided on two of the four sides that extend along the longitudinal direction and are opposite to each other (hereinafter, in this specification, of the columnar component, the two sides perpendicular to the longitudinal direction are referred to as "end faces," and the remaining faces extending along the longitudinal direction of the component are referred to as "side faces." Also, of the four sides of the rectangular prism-shaped component, the two sides with grooves are referred to as "first side faces," and the remaining two sides are referred to as "second side faces"). Both end faces are open, and the component 1 as a whole is tubular. 【0021】 The groove portion 2 is a portion provided on each of the opposing first side surfaces 3 so as to be recessed inward from the first side surface 3, and is provided in the center of the width direction of each first side surface 3, extending along its entire length in the longitudinal direction. The edge of the groove portion 2 is provided with a flange portion 2a that protrudes toward the center of the width direction of the first side surface 3. 【0022】 As shown in Figure 3, the component 1 is constructed by combining a pair of halves 4. On each of the surfaces constituting the component 1, an engaging portion 6 for combining the halves 4 is provided along the longitudinal direction at the center of the second side surface 5 in the width direction. In other words, the halves 4 correspond to parts obtained by dividing the component 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 at the engaging portion 6 provided on the second side surface 5, which is located between the grooves 2. 【0023】 Each half-body 4 has two surfaces corresponding to the second side surface 5 (surfaces obtained by dividing the second side surface 5 in half in the width direction). One of these surfaces has a first engaging portion 6a of the engaging portions 6 that engage with each other, and the other surface has a second engaging portion 6b that engages with the first engaging portion 6a. The first engaging portion 6a is a plate-like portion that bends inward from the end of one of the second side surfaces 5 provided on the half-body 4 (the part corresponding to the center in the width direction of the second side surface 5 of the component material 1, which is formed by combining two half-body 4s), and is provided along the entire length of the half-body 4 in the longitudinal direction. The second engaging portion 6b is a plate-like portion that bends inward from the end of the other second side surface 5 provided on the half-body 4, similar to the first engaging portion 6a, but it is further folded back at the end of the second side surface 5 to form a U-shaped cross-section. The gap between the two plate-like portions that make up the U-shaped cross-section of the second engaging portion 6b is set to a size that is just large enough to sandwich one plate that makes up the first engaging portion 6a. 【0024】 As shown in Figures 1 and 2, when combining a pair of halves 4 to form a single component 1, the two halves 4 are positioned such that the second engaging portion 6b of one halves 4 contacts the first engaging portion 6a of one halves 4, and the second engaging portion 6b of one halves 4 contacts the first engaging portion 6a of the other halves 4. Then, the first engaging portion 6a of one halves 4 is sandwiched between the second engaging portion 6b of one halves 4, and the first engaging portion 6a of one halves 4 is sandwiched between the second engaging portion 6b of the other halves 4, thereby engaging the two. The plate-shaped components constituting the first engaging portion 6a and the second engaging portion 6b are provided with ribs 6c and 6d along the longitudinal direction at corresponding positions, and when the halves 4 are combined, these ribs 6c and 6d fit together, thereby increasing the strength of the engagement. 【0025】 When combining a pair of halves 4, one halves 4 should be moved so as to slide along its longitudinal direction relative to the other halves 4, and their first engaging portions 6a should be sandwiched between each other's second engaging portions 6b. 【0026】 A component 1 having such a configuration can be formed to any dimensions in the longitudinal direction, or cut at any position in the longitudinal direction, and used as a member of appropriate length in the construction of a structure described later. In this embodiment, since the groove portion 2 and the engaging portion 6 are provided along the entire length in the longitudinal direction as described above, all cross-sections perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the component 1 have the same shape as the end face shown in Figure 2. The component 1 can be manufactured using various materials and manufacturing methods, but for example, it can be manufactured using a metal plate as the material and a method called roll forming in which it is bent. 【0027】 The construction of a structure using the constituent members 1 described above will now be explained. As described below, the constituent members 1 are fixed to the installation surface using various simple connecting auxiliary devices (support column fixing device 20, support column beam connectors 21, 22, beam orthogonal connector 23, beam continuous connectors 24, 25, cantilever mounting device 26, diagonal support member 27) as appropriate, and by further combining the constituent members 1 vertically and horizontally, a structure such as the frame 100 shown in Figure 4 can be assembled. In the structure (frame) 100, the constituent members 1 function as beams extending horizontally and as supports extending vertically. 【0028】 For convenience, in this specification, regardless of the original definitions of "beams" and "columns" in buildings, structural members installed horizontally will be referred to as "beams," and structural members installed vertically will be referred to as "columns," as needed. Furthermore, expressions such as "along the horizontal direction" and "along the vertical direction" will frequently appear below in relation to members and the surfaces they form, but these do not necessarily mean that the orientation of the members precisely coincides with the horizontal or vertical direction. They simply mean that, in practical terms as a structure, or in terms of general human perception, they are close to the horizontal or vertical direction to the extent that it is acceptable to describe them as horizontal or vertical. The same applies to the expression "orthogonal." 【0029】 When combining components 1 using connecting aids, the components 1 to be combined are positioned so that their grooves 2 face each other or are adjacent to each other, as described below, and the grooves 2 are connected with an appropriate connecting aid. Here, "the grooves 2 face each other or are adjacent to each other" means that, as shown in the figures described below, the first sides 3 of the pair of components 1 to be connected, which are equipped with grooves 2, face each other, or the grooves 2 of the pair of components 1 to be connected are arranged continuously in the longitudinal direction, or the surfaces formed by the first sides 3 of the pair of components 1 to be connected intersect, and the grooves 2 provided on each first side 3 intersect. The connecting aids are then connected to the pair of grooves 2 in such a positional relationship, thereby connecting the components 1. Connecting aids are also used when fixing a component 1 as a support column to an installation surface, or when attaching a supported object 200 to a component 1 as a beam, by attaching them to the grooves 2. 【0030】 (I) Installation of support posts 【0031】 When fixing a component 1 as a support column to the installation surface of a structure (frame) 100, a connecting auxiliary device (support column fixing device) 20, such as that shown in Figure 5, is used. The support column fixing device 20 has a rectangular plate-shaped base portion 20a that forms a horizontal surface when installed, and two plate-shaped mounting portions 20b that protrude upward from the middle of the longitudinal direction of each of the opposing long sides of the base portion 20a. Fixing holes 20c are provided near both ends of the base portion 20a in the longitudinal direction, so as to penetrate the base portion 20a vertically. 【0032】 The pair of mounting portions 20b face each other, sandwiching the base portion 20a in the width direction. The width of each mounting portion 20b and the distance between the mounting portions 20b correspond to the grooves 2 provided on the two first sides 3 of the component 1, so that each mounting portion 20b can be inserted into each groove 2 on the two first sides 3 simultaneously. Here, the width of the mounting portion 20b is set to a size that allows it to be inserted into the groove 2, but is set to be larger than the distance between the flange portions 2a provided on the edges of the groove 2. In addition, the distance between the fixing holes 20c is set to be wider than the distance between the second sides 5 of the component 1, so that the fasteners attached to the fixing holes 20c do not interfere with the attachment of the component 1 to the mounting portions 20b. 【0033】 Each mounting portion 20b is provided with two mounting holes 20d, one above and one below, that penetrate the plate-shaped mounting portion 20b in the thickness direction (the direction in which the mounting portions 20b face each other). A screw groove is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the mounting hole 20d, allowing a bolt 10 to be inserted and tightened as a fastener, as will be described later. 【0034】 To fix the structural member 1 as a support column to the installation surface, first, holes for fasteners (parts for fixing the structure 100 to the installation surface, such as anchor bolts) are made in the installation surface. These holes are made to correspond to the position of the fixing holes 20c of the support column fastener 20. The support column fastener 20 is positioned on the installation surface so that the fixing holes 20c of the base portion 20a align with the position of these holes, and as shown in Figure 6, the anchor bolts 7, which serve as fasteners, are passed through the fixing holes 20c and tightened to fix the support column fastener 20 to the installation surface. 【0035】 In this state, a pair of mounting parts 20b protrude from the mounting surface. The end faces of the component 1 are facing downwards, and the component 1 is positioned vertically, with each of the protruding mounting parts 20b inserted into the two grooves 2. Bolts 10, which serve as fasteners, are inserted into each mounting hole 20d of the mounting parts 20b inserted into the grooves 2 and tightened. At this time, washers 8 with a diameter larger than the distance between the flanges 2a provided in the grooves 2 are used as seating surfaces as necessary (of the washers 8 shown in Figure 5, the washers labeled 8a are spring washers, and the washers labeled 8b are washers used as seating surfaces). On the other hand, the width of the mounting parts 20b inserted into the grooves 2 is set to be larger than the distance between the flanges 2a provided in the grooves 2. When the bolt 10 is tightened, the flange portion 2a provided in the groove portion 2 is sandwiched between the washer 8b, which serves as the seating surface, and the mounting portion 20b, thereby attaching the component 1 to the support column fixing device 20. In this way, as shown in the lower part of Figure 6, the component 1, which serves as the support column, is fixed to the installation surface by the support column fixing device 20. 【0036】 (II) Connection between columns and beams (1) 【0037】 When joining a beam component 1 to a support component 1, a connecting auxiliary device (support-beam connector 21) as shown in Figure 7 is used. The support-beam connector 21 is a rectangular plate-shaped member that is bent into an L-shape so that it forms two mutually perpendicular surfaces. One mounting hole 21b is provided in the beam mounting portion 21a which forms one surface, and two mounting holes 21d are provided in the support component 21c which forms the other surface, so as to penetrate the beam mounting portion 21a or the support component 21c in the thickness direction. In the support component 21c, the two mounting holes 21d are aligned along the direction in which the support component 21c extends relative to the beam mounting portion 21a. 【0038】 To join a beam-type structural member 1 to a column-type structural member 1, for example, as shown in Figure 8, two column-beam connectors 21 are attached to the grooves 2 of the beam-type structural member 1. Each column-beam connector 21 is attached to the same groove 2 (the lower groove 2 in the installed state) of the two grooves 2 provided in the structural member 1, with the beam attachment portion 21a in contact with the first side surface 3 where the groove 2 is provided, and the two column-beam connectors 21 are attached in a direction where their column attachment portions 21c face each other (with respect to the direction in which the groove 2 extends, the two column attachment portions 21c are located inside the two beam attachment portions 21a). The column attachment portions 21c of the two column-beam connectors 21 protrude from the first side surface 3 of the beam-type structural member 1, forming a surface that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the structural member 1. Here, the structural member 1 serving as a support column is joined by being sandwiched between the two support column mounting sections 21c. 【0039】 The support member 1 has its upper end face in contact with the first side surface 3 of the beam member 1, and the first side surface 3 located below the beam member 1 is adjacent to the first side surface 3 on both sides of the support member 1, with the grooves 2 provided on these first side surfaces 3 intersecting and perpendicular to each other. The support mounting portion 21c of the support beam connector 21 is in contact with the first side surface 3 on both sides of the support member 1, and the support member 1 and the support beam connector 21 are fixed to each other by bolts 10, which are fasteners inserted into mounting holes 21d and grooves 2. The beam mounting portions 21a of two support beam connectors 21 are in contact with the first side surface 3 located below the beam member 1, and the beam member 1 and the support beam connector 21 are fixed to each other by bolts 10, which are fasteners inserted into mounting holes 21b and grooves 2. 【0040】 For joining, for example, first, bolts 10, washers 8, and nuts 9, which are fasteners, are temporarily fastened to the mounting holes 21b and 21d provided in the beam mounting portion 21a and the column mounting portion 21c of the two column-beam joints 21, respectively. Bolts 10, washers 8, and nuts 9 are attached to the beam mounting portion 21a and the column mounting portion 21c, for example, so that the head of the bolt 10 is positioned on the groove portion 2 side of the component material 1. 【0041】 In this state, the fasteners that have been temporarily fixed to the beam mounting portion 21a are first passed through the groove portion 2 of the beam component 1 with the portion (head of the bolt 10) protruding towards the beam component 1, and the column-beam joint 21 is positioned on the beam component 1. Here, the bolt 10 inserted into the groove portion 2 is to be a bolt with dimensions such that the head does not rotate in the groove portion 2 and does not fall out of the groove portion 2 in the axial direction, that is, the minimum diameter of the head is less than or equal to the width of the groove portion 2, and is greater than the distance between the flange portions 2a provided in the groove portion 2, and the maximum diameter is greater than the width of the groove portion 2. 【0042】 Next, the component 1 serving as a support column is slid between the two support column mounting sections 21c so that the portion of the fastener that has been temporarily attached to the support column mounting section 21c that protrudes towards the component 1 serving as a support column (the head of the bolt 10) passes through the groove 2 of the component 1 serving as a support column. In this state, the fasteners (nuts 9) of the beam mounting section 21a and the support column mounting section 21c are tightened. If necessary, washers may be used as retaining seats for each fastener. Also, the orientation of each fastener shown here may be reversed. 【0043】 Thus, the two column-beam connectors 21 are attached with their beam attachment portion 21a to the groove portion 2 of the beam component 1, and their column attachment portion 21c to the groove portion 2 of the column component 1, thereby joining the column component 1 and the beam component 1 to each other in a perpendicular manner, as shown in the upper part of Figure 6. The components 1 to be joined are positioned so that the surfaces of their first sides 3 are perpendicular to each other, and the groove portions 2 provided on each first side 3 are perpendicular to each other, and the column-beam connectors 21 are attached at the position where these groove portions 2 are in contact. The beam component 1 is joined to the upper end of the column component 1 with its two first sides 3, where the groove portions 2 are provided, facing upwards and downwards. 【0044】 (III) Connection of columns and beams (2) 【0045】 When joining a beam component 1 to a column component 1, if height adjustment is desired, a connecting aid (column-beam connector) 22, such as that shown in Figure 9, can be used. In a structure (frame) 100 as shown in Figure 4, a supported object 200 is installed on the beam component 1, and in most cases, it is desirable that the orientation of the component 1 on which the supported object 200 is installed be as close to horizontal as possible. On the other hand, the conditions of the installation surface on which the frame 100 is installed vary, and the height may differ depending on the location. In such cases, the beam can be supported horizontally by changing the height of the column depending on the location, but it would be more convenient if the mounting height of the beam to the column could be easily adjusted. 【0046】 The column-beam connector 22 is a component designed to adjust the mounting height of the beam component 1 relative to the column component 1 when joining the beam component 1 to the column component 1. As shown in Figure 9, the column-beam connector 22 comprises a beam mounting portion 22a and an adjustment mounting portion 22b. The adjustment mounting portion 22b is a plate-shaped member formed to have three mutually orthogonal surfaces, and the three surfaces constituting the adjustment mounting portion 22b extend in the same longitudinal direction. That is, the cross-section of the adjustment mounting portion 22b perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is U-shaped or U-shaped due to the three surfaces. 【0047】 Of the three surfaces constituting the adjustable mounting section 22b, two opposing surfaces are configured as support column mounting sections 22c to which the supporting member 1 is attached. In the center of each mounting section in the width direction, two mounting holes 22d are provided so as to penetrate the support column mounting section 22c in the thickness direction. In each support column mounting section 22c, the two mounting holes 22d are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the support column mounting section 22c. 【0048】 Of the three surfaces constituting the adjustable mounting section 22b, the remaining surface functions as a connecting section 22e, which connects the column mounting sections 22c at appropriate intervals. As will be described later, the column-beam connector 22 is installed so that the two column mounting sections 22c are in contact with the first side surface 3 of the constituent member 1 which serves as a column. At this time, the connecting section 22e connects the column mounting sections 22c at appropriate intervals, so that the three surfaces constituting the adjustable mounting section 22b cover the three sides of the constituent member 1 in a sleeve-like manner, thereby allowing the column-beam connector 22 to be smoothly attached to the constituent member 1. 【0049】 The beam mounting portion 22a is a pair of plate-shaped members, and is provided so as to protrude outward from one end of the support column mounting portion 22c in the longitudinal direction, forming a surface perpendicular to the surface formed by the support column mounting portion 22c, and in the opposing direction of the pair of support column mounting portions 22c. One mounting hole 22f is provided in the center of each beam mounting portion 22a. 【0050】 In other words, the column-beam connector 22 shown here is equivalent to the column-beam connector 21 shown in Figure 7, but with the column mounting portion 21c extended, and two such connectors connected at an appropriate interval by a connecting portion 22e. 【0051】 For joining, for example, the fasteners, namely bolts 10, washers 8, and nuts 9, are first temporarily fastened to the respective mounting holes 22d provided in the pair of column mounting portions 22c of the column-beam joint 22. Figure 9 shows the state in which the fasteners are attached to the mounting holes 22d so that the heads of the bolts 10 are located on the groove portion 2 side of the beam component 1 (inside the opposing column mounting portions 22c), but the orientation of the bolts 10 and nuts 9 may be reversed. 【0052】 In this state, fasteners (the heads of bolts 10) protrude from the inside of the opposing pair of support mounting portions 22c. The protruding fasteners are inserted into the two grooves 2 provided in the structural member 1 which serves as the support column, and the support-beam joint 22 is slid relative to the structural member 1 so that the three-sided adjustment mounting portion 22b covers the three sides of the support-beam joint 22 (the support mounting portions 22c each contact the two first sides 3, and the connecting portion 22e contacts the one second side 5). At this time, the orientation of the support-beam joint 22 is such that the beam mounting portion 22a is facing upwards (upwards in the final installation direction). Since the support-beam joint 22 can be freely slid along the longitudinal direction relative to the structural member 1, the fasteners attached to each mounting hole 22d are tightened while the support-beam joint 22 is supported at an appropriate position relative to the structural member 1 in the longitudinal direction, thereby fixing the support-beam joint 22 to the structural member 1. 【0053】 Next, as shown in Figure 10, the beam component 1 is joined here. With the support-beam connector 22 attached to the support-beam connector 1, a pair of beam mounting parts 22a are located on the upper part of the support-beam connector 22, and the beam component 1 is fixed here. 【0054】 Two bolts 10 are inserted into one groove 2 of the structural member 1, corresponding to the number of mounting holes 22f provided in the beam mounting portion 22a of the column-beam connector 22, with the tips of the bolts 10 protruding outward from the groove 2. The tips of these bolts 10 are then inserted into the mounting holes 2f of the beam mounting portion 22a, and washers 8 and nuts 9 are attached thereto. In this state, the structural member 1, acting as a beam, can be freely slid along the direction of the groove 2 relative to the column-beam connector 22. With the structural member 1, acting as a beam, supported in an appropriate position relative to the column-beam connector 22, the fasteners attached to the beam mounting portion 22a are tightened to fix the structural member 1, acting as a beam, to the column-beam connector 22. 【0055】 Thus, the column-beam connector 22 has a pair of beam attachment parts 22a attached to the grooves 2 of the beam component 1, and a pair of column attachment parts 22c attached to the grooves 2 of the column component 1, thereby joining the column component 1 and the beam component 1 to each other in a perpendicular manner, as shown in Figure 11. The components 1 to be joined are positioned at a distance from each other, with the surfaces of their first sides 3 perpendicular to each other and the lines of the grooves 2 provided on each first side 3 perpendicular to each other, and the column-beam connector 22 is attached to connect them. The beam component 1 is joined to the upper end of the column component 1 with its two first sides 3, where the grooves 2 are provided, facing upward and downward. Here, the column-beam connector 22 can adjust the attachment height of the column component 1, so that the beam component 1 can be supported at an appropriate height. 【0056】 (IV) Orthogonal connections between beams 【0057】 When joining two beam members 1 at right angles, a connecting aid (beam orthogonal connector) 23, as shown in Figures 12 to 14, is used. The beam orthogonal connector 23 is a plate-shaped member that forms an octagon as a whole, and mounting holes 23a are provided at the four corners, at positions that form the four vertices of the square. The four mounting holes 23a are arranged such that the distance between two diagonally opposite each other in the square is greater than the width of the first side surface 3 of the beam member 1. With this beam orthogonal connector 23 in between, two beam members 1 are joined by stacking them vertically so that their grooves 2 face each other, as shown in Figure 14. 【0058】 Each structural member 1 forming a beam is joined to one another with its first side surface 3, which has a groove 2, facing upwards and downwards. For joining, as shown in Figure 12, two bolts 10, which are fasteners, are first passed through the groove 2 on the side of one structural member 1 that will be joined to the other structural member 1. At this time, the bolts 10 are positioned so that their heads are inside the groove 2 and their tips protrude outwards from the groove 2. 【0059】 The tip of the bolt 10 protruding from the groove 2 is passed through the mounting hole 23a of the beam orthogonal connector, and then the washer 8 and nut 9, which are fasteners, are attached and tightened. Here, the mounting holes 23a through which the bolt 10 passes are the two diagonally opposite mounting holes 23a out of the four mounting holes 23a that form the four vertices of the square. 【0060】 Next, as shown in Figure 13, two bolts 10 are passed through the groove 2 on the side of the other component 1 that connects to the other component 1. The bolts 10 are positioned so that their heads are inside the groove 2 and their tips protrude outward from the groove 2. The tips of these bolts 10 are passed through the remaining mounting holes 23a of the beam orthogonal connector, and the fasteners, washers 8 and nuts 9, are attached and tightened. 【0061】 Here, as described above, the distance between two diagonally opposite mounting holes 23a is set to be greater than the width of the first side surface 3 of the component 1. As a result, when one component 1 is attached to two diagonally opposite mounting holes 23a, and then the other component 1 is to be placed, the two mounting holes 23a will be located on the outside in the width direction of the other component 1, so that the fasteners attached to the two mounting holes 23a will not interfere with the other component 1. Also, when attaching the other component 1 to the remaining two mounting holes 23a, these two mounting holes 23a are located on the outside in the width direction of the one component 1, so the one component 1 will not obstruct the attachment of the fasteners. 【0062】 In this way, the beam orthogonal connector is sandwiched between two beam components 1 arranged so that their grooves 2 face each other. A portion of the mounting hole 23a is attached to the groove 2 of one component 1, and another portion of the mounting hole 23a is attached to the groove 2 of the other component 1. As a result, as shown in Figure 14, the two beam components 1 are joined to each other in a way that they are perpendicular to each other in a plan view. 【0063】 In this example, four mounting holes 23a are provided in the beam orthogonal connector to form the four vertices of a square. However, when joining beam components 1 together in this manner, the number of mounting holes may be greater than this. At least four mounting holes are required, arranged diagonally from each other and with a distance between them greater than the width of the component 1. For example, in addition to these four, further mounting holes may be provided outside the diagonally positioned mounting holes. Furthermore, the arrangement of the four mounting holes does not necessarily have to be a square. 【0064】 (V) Connection of beams (1) 【0065】 When connecting two structural members 1 as beams in the longitudinal direction, a connecting aid (beam continuous connector) 24, such as the one shown in Figure 15, can be used. The beam continuous connector 24 is an elongated plate-shaped member, with a total of four mounting holes 24a, two at each end in the longitudinal direction, that penetrate the beam continuous connector 24 in the thickness direction. The four mounting holes 24a are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the beam continuous connector 24. The width of the beam continuous connector 24 is set to be wider than the distance between the flange portions 2a provided on the edges of the groove portion 2 of the structural member 1, and narrower than the width of the part of the groove portion 2 other than the flange portions 2a, so that the beam continuous connector 24 can be inserted into the groove portion 2 of the structural member 1 with its longitudinal and width directions aligned. Screw grooves are formed on the inner circumferential surface of the mounting holes 24a for inserting and tightening bolts 10 as fasteners. 【0066】 For joining, the ends of the beam continuous connectors 24 are inserted into the grooves 2 on the first side surfaces 3 located on the lower sides of the two structural members 1, bringing the end faces of the structural members 1 into contact with each other. In this state, the mounting holes 24a of the beam continuous connectors 24 are exposed in the grooves 2 on the lower sides of the two structural members 1. On one structural member 1, the two mounting holes 24a provided on one end of the beam continuous connector 24 are exposed, and on the other structural member 1, the two mounting holes 24a provided on the other end of the beam continuous connector 24 are exposed. Bolts 10, which serve as fasteners, are inserted into each of these mounting holes 24a, with washers 8 appropriately in between, and then tightened. 【0067】 Thus, the beam continuous connector 24 is inserted into the grooves 2 of a pair of structural members 1 so as to straddle the longitudinal direction of the pair of structural members 1 which are arranged in a direction that is continuous with each other in the longitudinal direction. A portion of the mounting hole 24a on one end is connected to one structural member 1, and the other mounting hole 23a is connected to the other structural member 1, thereby connecting the two structural members 1 as beams in a continuous manner in the longitudinal direction. The beam continuous connector 24 is set to dimensions that can maintain sufficient strength as a component of the target structure (frame 100), taking into consideration the physical properties of the material, and it appropriately supports the load applied to the part that connects the structural members 1 as beams when the structure is in use. 【0068】 (VI) Connection of beams (2) 【0069】 Section (V) above describes the connection of structural members 1 as beams in a location where structural members 1 as support columns are not installed. When structural members 1 as beams are to be connected longitudinally in a location where structural members 1 as support columns are installed, a connecting aid (beam continuous connector) 25, such as that shown in Figure 16, can be used. The beam continuous connector 25 is a long, narrow plate-shaped member, and has a total of four mounting holes 25a, two at each end in the longitudinal direction, which penetrate the beam continuous connector 25 in the thickness direction. The four mounting holes 25a are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the beam continuous connector 25. The width of the beam continuous connector 25 is set to be wider than the distance between the flanges 2a provided on the edges of the groove 2 of the structural member 1, and narrower than the width of the part of the groove 2 other than the flanges 2a, so that the beam continuous connector 25 can be inserted into the groove 2 of the structural member 1 so that its longitudinal and width directions match. The inner circumferential surface of the mounting hole 25a has a screw groove formed therein for inserting and tightening a bolt 10 as a fastener. 【0070】 Thus, the beam continuous connector 25 is a component with a configuration almost identical to the beam continuous connector 24 shown in Figure 15, but its longitudinal dimensions are slightly different from those of the beam continuous connector 24 in Figure 15, and it has dimensions that match those of the structural member 1 as a support column and the support-beam connectors 21, 22 (Figures 7 to 11). Specifically, of the four mounting holes 25a, the distance between the two mounting holes 25a located on the inside in the longitudinal direction is set to match the distance between the mounting holes 21b of the beam mounting portion 21a of the support-beam connector 21 attached to the upper end of the structural member 1 as a support column, as shown in Figure 16 (Note that although the support-beam connector 21 of Figures 7 and 8 is shown here, the distance between the mounting holes 22f of the beam mounting portion 22a of the support-beam connector 22 of Figures 9 to 11 is the same as the distance between the mounting holes 25a and the distance between the mounting holes 21b described above, and installation can be performed using the same procedure as described below). 【0071】 For joining, the ends of the beam continuous connectors 25 are inserted into the grooves 2 on the first side surfaces 3 located on the lower sides of the two structural members 1, bringing the end faces of the structural members 1 into contact with each other. In this state, the mounting holes 25a of the beam continuous connectors 25 are exposed in the grooves 2 on the lower sides of the two structural members 1. On one structural member 1, the two mounting holes 25a provided on one end of the beam continuous connector 25 are exposed, and on the other structural member 1, the two mounting holes 25a provided on the other end of the beam continuous connector 25 are exposed. 【0072】 Here, the end faces of the structural member 1, which serves as a support column and to which the support-beam connectors 21 are attached to both first side surfaces 3 at the upper end, are placed against the beam continuous connector 25, and the positions of the two mounting holes 25a located on the inside in the longitudinal direction of the beam continuous connector 25 are aligned with the mounting holes 21b provided in the pair of beam mounting portions 21a. In this state, bolts 10, which serve as fasteners, are inserted into each of the four mounting holes 25a and tightened. At this time, for the two mounting holes 25a located on the inside in the longitudinal direction of the beam continuous connector 25, the beam mounting portions 21a of the support-beam connector 21 function as a seating surface, so washers 8b as a seating surface are not necessary. For the two mounting holes 25a located on the outside, the bolts are tightened into the groove portion 2 of the structural member 1 to be connected, specifically the portion without the support-beam connector 21, so washers 8b as a seating surface are used as needed. 【0073】 In this way, the beam continuous connector 25 is inserted into the grooves 2 of the pair of structural members 1 so as to straddle the longitudinal direction of the pair of structural members 1 which are arranged in a direction that is continuous with each other in the longitudinal direction. A part of the mounting hole 25a on one end is connected to one structural member 1, and the other mounting hole 25a is connected to the other structural member 1, thereby connecting the two structural members 1 as beams in a continuous manner in the longitudinal direction. 【0074】 In this example, four mounting holes 24a and 25a are provided in each of the beam continuous connectors 24 and 25. However, when joining beam components 1 together in this manner, it is sufficient to have two or more mounting holes arranged along the longitudinal direction; the number of holes can be more or less than four. 【0075】 (VII) Installation of cantilever beams 【0076】 In a frame 100 as shown in Figure 4, when a supported object 200 is installed on a beam-like component 1, it is structurally most desirable for the beam-like component 1 to be joined to the column-like component 1 on both sides of the supported object 200 in the longitudinal direction. However, depending on the conditions of the installation surface, it may not always be possible to install the column-like component 1 in such a position. In such cases, the beam-like component 1 can be cantilevered to the column-like component 1. 【0077】 When a beam-type component 1 is cantilevered to a column-type component 1, a cantilever mounting bracket 26 and an oblique support member 27, as shown in Figures 17 to 20, are used as connecting aids. 【0078】 As shown in Figure 17, the cantilever mounting bracket 26 comprises a rectangular plate-shaped base portion 26a and a plate-shaped mounting portion 26b that bends up from the middle of one long side of the base portion 26a, is perpendicular to the surface formed by the base portion 26a and forms a surface along the longitudinal direction of the base portion 26a. At both ends of the base portion 26a in the longitudinal direction, a total of two mounting holes 26c are provided, each penetrating the base portion 26a in the thickness direction. At the center of the mounting portion 26b, one mounting hole 26d is provided, penetrating the mounting portion 26b in the thickness direction. 【0079】 As shown in Figure 19, the diagonal support member 27 is a plate-shaped component bent into an L-shape so as to form two mutually perpendicular surfaces, and extends in a long, slender direction perpendicular to the L-shaped cross-section. On one of the two mutually perpendicular surfaces, a total of two mounting holes 27a are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction, penetrating the member in the thickness direction. 【0080】 In a cantilever structure where a beam component 1 is cantilevered to a column component 1, two cantilever fittings 26 are attached, one to the beam component 1 and one to the column component 1, and a diagonal support member 27 is attached between these two cantilever fittings 26. This allows the load applied to the cantilevered beam component 1 to be transmitted to the column component 1 via the diagonal support member 27, thereby providing suitable support for the beam component 1. 【0081】 To attach the diagonal support member 27 to the cantilever beam structure, first, as shown in Figures 17 and 18, cantilever fittings 26 are attached to the support member 1 and the beam member 1, respectively. The attachment position of the cantilever fitting 26 on the beam member 1 is the first side surface 3, which is the lower side of the portion that protrudes from the support member 1 as a cantilever beam. The attachment position of the cantilever fitting 26 on the support member 1 is the first side surface 3 on the side facing the support member 1 that protrudes as a cantilever beam. 【0082】 Insert bolts 10, which serve as fasteners, into the grooves 2 on the first side surface 3 of each component 1, in a number of positions equal to the number of mounting holes 26c provided in the base portion 26a of each cantilever mounting bracket 26 (two holes each). The orientation of the bolts 10 is such that the head is located inside the groove 2 and the tip protrudes outward from the groove 2. Pass the tips of the bolts 10 protruding from the groove 2 through the mounting holes 26c provided in the base portion 26a of the cantilever mounting bracket 26, and then attach washers 8 and nuts 9, which serve as fasteners, and tighten them. In this way, the cantilever mounting brackets 26 are attached to the component 1, which serves as a beam and a support column, respectively. 【0083】 As shown in Figure 19, the cantilever fittings 26 attached to the beam member 1 and the column member 1 respectively have their mounting portions 26b protruding from the first side surface 3 of each member 1. A diagonal support member 27 is then attached. Using the mounting holes 27a provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the diagonal support member 27, the ends of the diagonal support member 27 are connected to the two cantilever fittings 26. One of the mounting holes 27a of the diagonal support member 27 is aligned with the mounting hole 26d of the cantilever fitting 26 attached to the column member 1, and the other is aligned with the mounting hole 26d of the cantilever fitting 26 attached to the beam member 1. A bolt 10 is inserted so as to pass through the mounting hole 27a of the diagonal support member 27 and the mounting hole 26d of the cantilever fitting 26, and a washer 8 and nut 9 are attached and tightened. When attaching the diagonal support member 27, it is advisable to temporarily fasten the fastener in the mounting hole 26c at at least one of the two cantilever mounting brackets 26b, and then slide the cantilever mounting bracket 26 along the groove 2 according to the length of the diagonal support member 27 to adjust its position. In this way, as shown in Figure 20, the diagonal support member 27 is attached to the constituent members 1, which constitute the columns and beams of the cantilever structure, via the cantilever mounting brackets 26. 【0084】 (VIII) Installation of beams on the mounting surface 【0085】 Depending on the conditions of the installation surface, such as when the height of the installation surface varies from place to place, it may be desirable to fix the beam component 1 to the installation surface without using a support column. In such cases, a connecting auxiliary device (beam fixing device) 28, as shown in Figure 21, can be used. The beam fixing device 28 is a rectangular plate-shaped member, and fixing holes 28a are provided at positions near both ends in the longitudinal direction, so as to penetrate the beam fixing device 28 vertically. Mounting holes 28b are provided at the middle of the beam fixing device 28 in the longitudinal direction and near both ends in the width direction, so as to penetrate the beam fixing device 28 vertically. The spacing between the fixing holes 28a is set wider than the width of the first side surface 3 of the component 1, so that when the beam fixing device 28 is attached to the component 1 using the mounting holes 28b as described later, the component 1 does not obstruct the attachment of the fixing device to the fixing holes 28a. 【0086】 When fixing the beam component 1 to the mounting surface, first, bolts 10, which serve as fasteners, are passed through the groove 2 provided on one of the first sides 3 of the component 1 (the first side 3 located on the lower side when installed), the number of bolts 10 that serve as fasteners is the number of mounting holes 28b (2) provided on the beam fixing device 28. The orientation of the bolts 10 is such that the head is located inside the groove 2 and the tip protrudes outward from the groove 2. The tips of the bolts 10 that protrude from the groove 2 are passed through the mounting holes 28b provided on the beam fixing device 28, and then washers 8 and nuts 9, which serve as fasteners, are attached and tightened. In this way, the beam fixing device 28 is attached to the groove 2 of the beam component 1. 【0087】 The first side 3 with the beam fixing device 28 attached is facing downwards on the installation surface which has holes for fasteners (e.g., anchor bolts), and the component 1 is installed horizontally (see Figure 22). The beam fixing device 28 is placed on the installation surface together with the component 1 so that the fixing holes 28a align with the positions of the holes for fasteners, and the anchor bolts 7, which serve as fasteners, are passed through the fixing holes 28a and tightened to attach the beam fixing device 28 to the installation surface. In this way, the component 1 as a beam is fixed to the installation surface by the beam fixing device 28. 【0088】 (IX) Installation of the supported object 【0089】 When placing the object to be supported 200 on a frame 100 (see Figure 4) assembled using the various connecting auxiliary devices described above, the object to be supported 200 is attached to the upper surface of the structural member 1, which is arranged horizontally as a beam, using, for example, a connecting auxiliary device (mounting device) 29 as shown in Figure 23. 【0090】 The mounting bracket 29 is a plate-shaped member formed by bending a rectangular plate as shown in Figure 23, and comprises a base portion 29a that is attached to the component 1 and a holding portion 29b that holds the object to be supported 200. The base portion 29a and the holding portion 29b have parallel surfaces to each other, and the base portion 29a and the holding portion 29b are connected to each other via a stepped portion 29c. That is, from one side of the rectangular base portion 29a, the stepped portion 29c rises up so as to bend and form a surface perpendicular to the base portion 29a, and at its tip, the stepped portion 29c bends toward the opposite side of the base portion 29a so as to form a surface parallel to the base portion 29a (holding portion 29b). The mounting bracket 29 is attached to the upper surface of the beam component 1 in such a position that the surface formed by the base portion 29a and the holding portion 29b is aligned horizontally, and the holding portion 29b is positioned above the base portion 29a. 【0091】 A mounting hole 29d is provided in the center of the base portion 29a, penetrating the base portion 29a in the thickness direction. The mounting hole 29d is formed in an elongated shape, and its longitudinal direction is aligned with the direction connecting the base portion 29a and the holding portion 29b. 【0092】 In the example shown here, the object to be supported 200 is assumed to be a thin rectangular object as shown in Figures 4 and 24. In the mounting fixture 29, the distance between the plane along the lower surface of the base portion 29a and the plane along the lower surface of the holding portion 29b is set to be equal to the thickness of the object to be supported 200, and as will be described below, the object to be supported 200 can be held between the holding portion 29b and the structural member 1 when the base portion 29a is attached to the structural member 1 as a beam. 【0093】 The rectangular support object 200 is positioned on the frame 100 such that both ends in the longitudinal direction are aligned with the longitudinal direction of the beam-like component 1, and the width direction of the support object 200 is aligned with the longitudinal direction of the beam-like component 1. The ends of the support object 200 placed on the component 1 are attached to the component 1 on both sides in the width direction by mounting fixtures 29. In other words, a total of four mounting fixtures 29 are attached to each support object 200, two at each end in the longitudinal direction. 【0094】 To fix the object to be supported 200 to the structural member 1 which serves as a beam, first, bolts 10, which serve as fasteners, are passed through grooves 2 provided on the first side surface 3, which is the upper side of the structural member 1 to be installed, in the same number of holes 29d in the mounting fixture 29 that will be attached to the structural member 1 (two bolts for each object to be supported 200 attached to one structural member 1). The orientation of each bolt 10 is such that its head is located inside the groove 2 and its tip protrudes outward from the groove 2. The tip of the bolt 10 protruding from the groove 2 is passed through the mounting hole 29d provided in the base portion 29a of the mounting fixture 29, and then a washer 8 and a nut 9, which serve as fasteners, are attached. At this time, the fasteners are temporarily secured to the structural member 1 and the mounting fixture 29. 【0095】 The objects to be supported 200 are placed in appropriate positions relative to the beam member 1. For each object to be supported 200, two fasteners 29, which are temporarily attached to each member 1, are slid along the groove 2 of the member 1, moving to both sides in the width direction of the object to be supported 200. Then, each fastener 29 is positioned so that the holding portion 29b is located above the object to be supported 200. In this state, the fasteners passed through the base portion 29a are tightened. In this way, as shown in Figure 24, the objects to be supported 200 are attached to the beam member 1 by being sandwiched from both sides by a pair of fasteners 29. 【0096】 In a structure (frame) 100 constructed using the above-described components 1, the components 1 can be connected vertically and horizontally by connecting the grooves 2 provided on the opposing sides (first side 3) of the components 1 using various connecting aids. At that time, each connecting aid can be attached to any position in the groove 2 that extends along the longitudinal direction of the component 1, and moreover, simple structural members can be formed to an appropriate length and used as components 1. Since the length of the component 1 as a beam, the height of the component 1 as a support column, and the mounting height of the component 1 as a beam to the component 1 as a support column can be adjusted, a frame 100 of the necessary dimensions and shape can be freely constructed to suit various conditions such as the shape of the installation surface and the height and dimensions of each part. 【0097】 Component 1 is a simple, straight member, but by providing a pair of grooves 2 therein, it is possible to freely combine component 1 with other component 1 to construct the desired structure (frame) 100. Furthermore, component 1 in this embodiment is a simple, hollow, rectangular prism-shaped member, which can be easily manufactured by forming a metal plate using methods such as roll forming. Since component 1 can be connected to each other using various connecting aids without welding, there is no need to weld the components together in the factory and then transport them to the site when constructing the structure 100. Instead, the simple, straight component 1 can be transported to the site in its original state and assembled on-site using connecting aids. Therefore, a large amount of material can be loaded onto a transport vehicle and transported inexpensively and with little effort. Also, since the component 1 is transported in an unassembled state, there is no concern about mechanical load being applied to the joints during transport, and packing and loading are easy. 【0098】 Furthermore, the hollow component 1 is configured to be divided into a pair of halves 4 at the second side surface 5. That is, two halves 4 of the same shape are manufactured and combined to form a single component 1. This configuration simplifies the manufacturing process of the component 1 and helps to further reduce manufacturing effort and costs. 【0099】 Generally, when forming sheet metal by roll forming, a bending process is required for each bend. Therefore, the more bends there are in a single type of component, the longer the processing time and the higher the cost. In this embodiment, by combining two halves 4 made of the same shape to manufacture a component 1, the number of roll forming processes required to manufacture one component 1 is only the number of processes required to form the halves 4. In other words, the number of bending processes required to form the halves 4 by roll forming is slightly more than half the number of processes required when forming a single component equivalent to component 1 from a single sheet of material, although an extra process is required for the engaging parts 6 necessary for joining the halves 4 together. Furthermore, since one component 1 can be manufactured with two identical halves 4, when forming component 1 with two halves 4, the required manufacturing line is slightly more than half the size compared to forming an equivalent component from a single sheet of material. 【0100】 As described above, the structural members 1 of this embodiment are columnar in shape and each has grooves 2 extending along its longitudinal direction on its opposing side surfaces (first side surfaces) 3. By using connecting aids 20 to 29, the grooves 2 of the structural members 1, which are arranged so that their grooves 2 face each other or are adjacent to each other, can be connected, and the structural members 1 can be joined together. In this way, a structure 100 of the required dimensions and shape can be freely constructed. 【0101】 Furthermore, the structural member 1 of this embodiment is hollow with an open end face, and is configured to be divisible into a pair of halves 4 at the engaging portion 6 provided on the side surface (second side surface) 5 between the groove portions 2, and can be assembled as a single structural member 1 by combining a pair of halves 4 of the same shape at the engaging portion 6.
