Auxiliary Securing Support Protrusion for Wall Installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing auxiliary securing support for attaching exterior wall materials to building frames is difficult to horizontally attach to columns or studs, and the gap between the wall material and the frame poses challenges during installation, affecting workability.
Innovation Solution
An auxiliary securing support with an elongated shape and protrusions that allow contact with the upper side of the exterior wall material, enabling easy horizontal placement and preventing dropping into gaps, while maintaining a design that does not expose protrusions on the external surface, thus improving workability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of stationary object
If the auxiliary securing support has an elongated shape to reduce load and improve durability, then the durability is improved, but it becomes difficult to horizontally attach to columns or studs and workers must be careful not to drop it into gaps
Solution Approach 1:
The protrusion acts as an intermediary element between the auxiliary securing support and the exterior wall material. It provides a contact point that enables easy horizontal placement on the upper side of the wall material while preventing the support from dropping into the gap below, thus resolving the workability issue without compromising the elongated design for durability
2Adaptability or versatility
If a gap is formed between exterior wall material and column or stud for ventilation and rainwater drainage, then ventilation and drainage are improved, but it creates a risk that the auxiliary securing support may drop into the gap during installation
Solution Approach 1:
The protrusion serves as a mediator that prevents the auxiliary securing support from falling into the necessary gap while maintaining the gap's functionality for ventilation and drainage. It provides a stopping point on the upper side of the exterior wall material without blocking the gap below

AI summary
An auxiliary securing support for attaching an exterior wall material to a building frame having a plurality of vertical frame members through a securing member includes a main body and a protrusion. The main body has an elongated shape, includes a planar portion to which the securing member is fixable, and is fixable to at least one of the vertical frame members. The protrusion protrudes in a direction crossing the planar portion so as to come into contact with an upper side portion of the exterior wall material and that has a length such that the protrusion is not exposed on an external surface of the exterior wall material.
