For example, outdoor installation structures such as beams installed outdoors between facing exterior walls in a recess in a building, beams installed between the exterior wall of a building and an exterior wall surrounding a garden, or installation structures arranged to be installed on the upper edge of an opening formed in an exterior wall surrounding a loggia, need to maintain the design of the underside because users of the building often look up at them from below.

The lower part of these outdoor erection structures is made up of two exterior materials with an L-shaped cross section, arranged so that the tips of the lower plate sections face each other, and a subjoint is formed on the underside along the length of the outdoor erection structure. If there are any unevenness on both sides of the subjoint, this will cause a problem of reduced design quality on the underside.

The present invention aims to provide an unevenness adjustment fitting that can adjust unevenness on the underside of an outdoor installation structure, an outdoor installation structure that uses the unevenness adjustment fitting, and an unevenness adjustment method.

The unevenness adjustment fitting of the present invention is an unevenness adjustment fitting for adjusting the unevenness between the horizontal parts of an outdoor installation structure in which two exterior materials having a vertical part formed by extending vertically and a horizontal part extending horizontally from the lower end of the vertical part are fixed to an installation formed between the vertical parts, and the tips of the horizontal parts are arranged to face each other with a subjoint in between, and the unevenness adjustment fitting comprises a vertical flat fixing part fixed to the back surface of the vertical part of one of the exterior materials, and a horizontal part formed by extending horizontally from the lower end of the fixing part and a fixing part for fixing the horizontal part of the one of the exterior materials. It is characterized by comprising a base member having a lower plate portion formed with a gap between it and the upper surface, a locking portion that locks onto the lower plate portion, an elastic member having a base end connected to the locking portion and formed with a downward incline toward the tip, a threaded operation hole at the tip that is located deep in the lower joint, and a pressing portion that can abut against the upper surface of the horizontal portion, and an operating bolt whose head is located in the lower joint and that screws into the operation hole to adjust the distance between the lower plate portion and the tip of the pressing portion.

The unevenness adjustment fitting of the present invention is characterized in that the base member further has an abutment portion that is bent upward from the tip of the lower plate portion and the upper end of which abuts against the underside of the erected body.

The unevenness adjustment fitting of the present invention is characterized in that the elastic member is formed in contact with the underside of the lower plate portion and further has a receiving portion in which an abutment hole against which the tip of the operating bolt abuts is formed.

The outdoor installation structure of the present invention is an outdoor installation structure in which at least both sides and the bottom face the outdoors, and is characterized by comprising an installation body to be installed outdoors of a building, a vertical section extending vertically, and a horizontal section extending horizontally from the bottom end of the vertical section, the vertical sections being arranged on both sides of the installation body and fixed to the installation body, two exterior materials arranged so that the tips of the horizontal sections face each other across a subjoint, and any one of the above-mentioned unevenness adjustment fittings.

The outdoor installation structure of the present invention further comprises an exterior material mounting bracket having a horizontal mounting portion that is attached to the upper flange of the installation body and a hanging portion that bends from the end of the mounting portion, hangs down to the side of the installation body, and is fixed by abutting against the back surface of the vertical portion of the exterior material, and the exterior material mounting bracket is characterized in that the angle between the mounting portion and the hanging portion is acute so that the lower end of the hanging portion is closer to the installation body than the upper end.

The outdoor installation structure of the present invention is characterized in that the back surface of the vertical part of the exterior material has two upper and lower grooves with C-shaped steel horizontally embedded in them, and a mounting plate with a screw hole is held in each of the grooves, and the hanging part has mounting holes formed at positions that overlap with the screw holes of the respective mounting plates, and the exterior material is fixed to the hanging part by tightening mounting bolts through the mounting holes into the screw holes, and a cushion material with a storage hole large enough to store the head of the mounting bolt is formed around the mounting hole on the surface of the hanging part facing the installation body.

The outdoor installation structure of the present invention is characterized in that the mounting bolts are extremely low head bolts.

The unevenness adjustment method of the present invention is a method for adjusting unevenness in the horizontal portion of one of the exterior materials of any of the above outdoor erection structures, and is characterized in that the operating bolt is rotated to move the pressing portion of the elastic member in a direction away from the lower plate portion of the base member, and the horizontal portion of one of the exterior materials that abuts against the pressing portion is pressed downward to move it, and is aligned flush with the horizontal portion of the other adjacent exterior material.

According to the unevenness adjustment fitting of the present invention, the lower plate portion of the base member is formed with a gap between it and the upper surface of the horizontal plane of one of the exterior materials, and the lower plate portion is screwed into an operating hole formed in the tip of the pressing portion of the elastic member that is engaged with the lower plate portion. By rotating the operating bolt whose head is located in the base joint, the tip of the pressing portion deforms in a direction away from the lower plate portion, and the horizontal portion of one of the exterior materials is pressed against the pressing portion and displaced downward, thereby adjusting the unevenness with the horizontal portion of the other adjacent exterior material.

According to the unevenness adjustment fitting of the present invention, the abutment portion of the base member is bent upward from the tip of the lower plate portion, and the upper end is formed so as to abut against the underside of the erected body. Therefore, when the operating bolt is rotated to elastically deform the pressing portion, the abutment portion abuts against the underside of the erected body, preventing the lower plate portion from displacing upward, and the pressing portion can reliably deform downward, displacing one of the exterior materials downward.

The unevenness adjustment fitting of the present invention has a receiving portion that abuts against the underside of the lower plate portion and has an abutment hole against which the tip of the operating bolt abuts. This prevents the tip of the operating bolt from shifting when the operating bolt is rotated, and the operating bolt can be maintained in an appropriate position, allowing the pressing portion to be elastically deformed appropriately.

According to the outdoor installation structure of the present invention, in an outdoor installation structure in which both sides and the underside are arranged facing the outdoors, the unevenness of the subjoints formed on the underside can be adjusted by the above-mentioned unevenness adjustment fittings, so that the design of the outdoor installation structure arranged in a position that can be looked up at from below can be prevented from being reduced.

According to the outdoor installation structure of the present invention, the angle between the mounting portion of the exterior material mounting bracket and the hanging portion is an acute angle, so that the two exterior materials fixed to both sides of the installation body are arranged so that their vertical portions approach each other downwards and the tips of the horizontal portions approach slightly to narrow the width of the base joint. By fixing the exterior materials at a slight angle in this way, even if one horizontal portion moves away from the other horizontal portion and is displaced in the direction of widening the base joint when the operating bolt of the unevenness adjustment bracket is rotated to deform the pressing portion and a downward load is applied to the tip of the horizontal portion, it is possible to prevent the width of the base joint from widening significantly, and to prevent a decrease in the design of the outdoor installation structure due to the widening of the width of the base joint.

According to the outdoor installation structure of the present invention, a cushioning material is formed around the mounting hole of the hanging part, and the head of the mounting bolt is stored in the storage hole of this cushioning material, so that the head of the mounting bolt can be prevented from colliding with the erected structure, and the generation of abnormal noise and the loosening of the mounting bolt can be prevented.

According to the outdoor installation structure of the present invention, the mounting bolts are extremely low head bolts, so even if the distance between the hanging part and the installation body is short, the bolt heads of the mounting bolts do not interfere with the installation body, making it possible to form an outdoor installation structure.

According to the unevenness adjustment method of the present invention, the operating bolt is rotated from the base joint to move the pressing part of the elastic member in a direction away from the lower plate part of the base member, thereby pressing and moving the horizontal part of one exterior material that abuts the pressing part downward, and aligning it flush with the horizontal part of the other adjacent exterior material. Therefore, with the two exterior materials attached, unevenness of the exterior materials on both sides of the base joint can be adjusted with extremely simple operations.

Below, an embodiment of the unevenness adjustment fitting 1, outdoor installation structure 2, and unevenness adjustment method according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The outdoor installation structure 2 is a structure arranged with at least both sides and the bottom surface facing the outdoors, and is a structure formed in a building such as a house. Examples of the outdoor installation structure 2 include a beam installed outdoors between facing exterior walls in a recess formed in a plan view of the building, a beam installed between the exterior wall and the exterior wall of a building when the exterior wall is formed to surround a garden formed adjacent to the building, or an installation structure arranged to be installed on the upper edge of an opening formed in an exterior wall surrounding a loggia.

As shown in FIG. 1, the outdoor installation structure 2 comprises an installation body 3 that forms part of the structural frame, two exterior materials 4 that cover the sides and bottom of the installation body 3, two exterior material mounting brackets 5 that attach the two exterior materials 4 to the installation body 3, two unevenness adjustment brackets 1 that adjust the unevenness of the two exterior materials 4 in the downward direction, two frames 10 that are joined to the top surface of the installation body 3, two upper exterior materials 11 that are arranged adjacent to the upper side of the two exterior materials 4 so as to cover the sides of the frames 10, and a coping 12 that covers the top ends of the two upper exterior materials 11.

As shown in FIG. 4, the erection body 3 is an H-shaped steel formed by connecting upper and lower flanges 30, 31 with a web 32. The upper flange 30 of the erection body 3 is provided with a through hole for attaching an exterior material mounting bracket 5. The erection body 3 is integrated with the structural frame of the building and can bear the horizontal load of, for example, an exterior wall (not shown).

The exterior material 4 is a plate material that covers the side and bottom of the erection body 3. The exterior material 4 has a vertical portion 40 formed by extending vertically, and a horizontal portion 41 that extends horizontally from the lower end of the vertical portion 40 and extends downward to the erection body 3, and is formed with an L-shaped cross section. The surface of the vertical portion 40 of the exterior material 4 is provided with an uneven pattern. The exterior material 4 is made of concrete, for example, and on the back surface of the vertical portion 40, two C-shaped steel bars are embedded horizontally parallel to each other, and the openings are exposed from the back surface to form a groove portion 42. Note that the front surface here refers to the surface exposed to the outdoors, and the back surface refers to the surface opposite the front surface, which faces the erection body 3. The exterior materials 4 are arranged on both sides of the erection body 3, and the tips of the horizontal portions 41 of the two exterior materials 4 are arranged facing each other with a gap between them, and a base joint 13 is formed between the two horizontal portions 41.

2 to 4, the exterior material mounting bracket 5 is formed by bending a plate-shaped steel material, and has a horizontal flat mounting part 50 that is attached to the upper flange 30 of the erection body 3, and a hanging part 51 that bends from the end of the mounting part 50 and hangs down to the side of the erection body 3. The mounting part 50 is provided with a long hole-shaped fixing hole 52 that is long in the length direction of the erection body 3. A back nut clip 34 that clamps the flange 30 and fixes a nut to the underside of the flange 30 is attached to the upper flange 30 of the erection body 3, and the back nut clip 34 is arranged to overlap with the through hole formed in the upper flange 30 of the erection body 3. Then, the mounting part 50 of the exterior material mounting bracket 5 is placed on the upper flange 30 of the erection body 3, and the fixing bolt 53 is screwed into the nut of the back nut clip 34 through the insertion hole provided in the lower chord of the frame 10 placed on the mounting part 50, the fixing hole 52 formed in the mounting part 50, and the through hole of the flange 30, so that the mounting part 50 is fixed to the flange 30 of the erection body 3.

The hanging portion 51 has two mounting holes 54 formed at the top and bottom. The mounting holes 54 are long holes that are long in the vertical direction. Support arms 55 are formed at the side ends of the hanging portion 51, sandwiching the upper mounting hole 54, and are inserted into the grooves 42 of the exterior material 4 to support the exterior material 4. Around the lower mounting hole 54, a cushion material 58 is formed on the surface facing the erection body 3, having a storage hole 57 large enough to store the head of the mounting bolt 56. Mounting plates 15 having screw holes 14 are arranged in the upper and lower grooves 42 of the exterior material 4, and the exterior material 4 is fixed to the hanging portion 51 by inserting the mounting bolts 56 into the upper and lower mounting holes 54 of the hanging portion 51 and screwing them into the screw holes 14 of the mounting plates 15 and tightening them. The cushioning material 58 formed around the mounting hole 54 is made of elastic material such as resin, and can prevent the hanging portion 51 and the head of the mounting bolt 56 from colliding with the erected body 3, preventing the generation of abnormal noise and the loosening of the mounting bolt 56. The mounting bolt 56 is an extremely low head bolt with a head height of 1.5 mm or less. By being an extremely low head bolt, interference with the lower flange 31 of the erected body 3 can be further suppressed.

As shown in FIG. 3, the exterior material mounting bracket 5 has an acute angle α between the mounting portion 50 and the hanging portion 51 on the side of the erection body 3. Specifically, the angle α between the mounting portion 50 and the hanging portion 51 is approximately 89 degrees. The mounting portion 50 is arranged horizontally along the upper surface of the upper flange 30 of the erection body 3, so that the hanging portion 51 is formed with its lower end slightly tilted from the vertical in the direction approaching the erection body 3. This results in a slightly narrower width of the base joint 13 formed between the horizontal portions 41 of the exterior material 4, and even if the exterior material 4 is displaced in a direction in which the base joint 13 is slightly wider by performing the unevenness adjustment of the exterior material 4 described later, it is possible to suppress the loss of the design of the underside of the outdoor erection structure 2. Although the vertical portion 40 of the exterior material 4 and the fixing portion 60 of the unevenness adjustment bracket 1 described later are described as being vertical, they are actually approximately vertical, tilted about 1 degree from the vertical, because they are fixed using the exterior material mounting bracket 5.

9, the unevenness adjustment fitting 1 includes a base member 6 fixed to a lower groove 42 formed on the back surface of the vertical part 40 of the exterior material 4, an elastic member 7 that is engaged with the base member 6 and is elastically deformable so as to press downward on the upper surface of the horizontal part 41 of the exterior material 4, and an operating bolt 8 for operating the elastic member 7. The outdoor installation structure 2 has two unevenness adjustment fittings 1, which are fixed to the vertical part 40 of one exterior material 4 and the vertical part 40 of the other exterior material 4, respectively. For convenience of illustration, Figs. 9 to 11 show the state in which the unevenness adjustment fitting 1 is fixed to the exterior material 4 on the left side of the figure, and Fig. 12 shows the state in which the unevenness adjustment fitting 1 is fixed to the exterior material 4 on the right side of the figure, but each unevenness adjustment fitting 1 is fixed at a different position in the length direction of the outdoor installation structure 2.

5 and 9, the base member 6 has a vertical flat-plate-shaped fixing part 60 fixed to the lower groove part 42 formed on the back surface of the vertical part 40 of the exterior material 4, a lower plate part 61 formed by extending horizontally from the lower end of the fixing part 60 and forming a gap between the upper surface of the horizontal part 41 of one of the exterior materials 4, and an abutment part 62 bent upward from the tip of the lower plate part 61, the upper end of which abuts against the lower surface of the lower flange 31 of the erection body 3. The fixing part 60 has a bolt hole 63 penetrating through it at approximately the center. The base member 6 is fixed to the lower groove part 42 of the exterior material 4 by inserting a retaining bolt 64 into the bolt hole 63 and screwing and tightening the retaining bolt 64 into the screw hole 14 of the mounting plate 15 inserted in the groove part 42 to fix the unevenness adjustment fitting 1. The lower plate part 61 has a rectangular opening 65 for engaging the elastic member 7. The base member 6 is fixed in a stable position by having the fixing portion 60 fixed in the groove portion 42 on the lower side of the exterior material 4 and the tip of the abutment portion 62 abutting against the lower surface of the flange 31 on the lower side of the installation body 3.

As shown in Figures 6, 7, and 9, the elastic member 7 is formed by processing a single spring steel plate, and has a locking portion 70 that locks into an opening 65 provided in the lower plate portion 61 of the base member 6, a receiving portion 71 that is formed horizontally from the locking portion 70 along the lower surface of the lower plate portion 61 and has a bent tip, and a pressing portion 73 that has a threaded operation hole 72 that is located at the back of the base joint 13 at its base end and can abut against the upper surface of the horizontal portion 41 of the exterior material 4.

The locking portion 70 is formed on each side edge of the elastic member 7, and is formed in a hook shape that abuts against the upper surface of the lower plate portion 61. The receiving portion 71 is a flat plate that extends horizontally from the base end of the locking portion 70 and abuts against the lower surface of the lower plate portion 61, with a large opening in the center and a pressing portion 73 formed inside. The tip side of the receiving portion 71 is folded upward to form a double layer, and a receiving hole 74 with a diameter that allows the operating bolt 8 to be inserted is formed in the lower plate of the double layer, and an abutment hole 75 is formed in the upper plate against which the tip of the operating bolt 8 abuts so that the tip of the operating bolt 8 is kept in an appropriate position.

The pressing portion 73 has one end connected to the base end of the locking portion 70 and extends obliquely downward from the opening of the receiving portion 71. Ribs 76 are formed on both side edges of the pressing portion 73 to reinforce the pressing portion 73. As shown in FIG. 8(A), the tip side of the pressing portion 73 is burred to form an operation hole 72 into which the operating bolt 8 screws. When the operating bolt 8, which is screwed into the operation hole 72 of the pressing portion 73 and whose tip abuts against the abutment hole 75 of the receiving portion 71, is rotated, the base end side of the pressing portion 73 elastically deforms and the tip of the pressing portion 73 drops downward as shown in FIG. 8(B).

As shown in FIG. 1, the two frames 10 are formed from C-shaped steel in a rectangular frame shape, and are bolted to the upper flange 30 of the erection body 3. The two upper exterior materials 11 are formed on flat plates, and are fixed to the frame 10 via fixing hardware (not shown). The capping 12 is formed with an upper surface portion 16 and a hanging portion 17 hanging from both side edges, and is formed to cover the upper ends of the two upper exterior materials 11 and the upper surface of the frame 10. The outdoor erection structure 2 has an upper surface formed by the capping 12, both side surfaces formed by the upper exterior material 11 and the vertical portion 40 of the exterior material 4, and a lower surface formed by the horizontal portion 41 of the exterior material 4. The outdoor erection structure 2 of the present invention may be formed by covering the upper end of the vertical portion 40 of the exterior material 4 with the capping 12 without using the upper exterior material 11.

The unevenness adjustment method for adjusting the unevenness between the horizontal parts 41 of the two exterior materials 4 constituting the underside of the outdoor erection structure 2 configured as described above is as shown in Fig. 10, when the horizontal part 41 of one of the two exterior materials 4 is positioned higher than the horizontal part 41 of the other exterior material 4, a tool is inserted through the lower joint 13 to rotate the operation bolt 8 of the unevenness adjustment fitting 1 fixed to the vertical part 40 of one of the exterior materials 4. When the operation bolt 8 is rotated, the pressing part 73 to which the operation bolt 8 is screwed is elastically deformed so that the tip side lowers downward as the operation bolt 8 rotates, as shown in Fig. 11. The pressing part 73 abuts against the upper surface of the tip of the horizontal part 41 of one of the exterior materials 4, so when the pressing part 73 lowers downward, a downward load is applied to the tip of the horizontal part 41 of the exterior material 4. This allows the horizontal member to be displaced downward, aligning it flush with the horizontal portion 41 of the other adjacent exterior material 4 and correcting any unevenness.

As shown in FIG. 12, when the horizontal portion 41 of the other exterior material 4 is positioned higher than the horizontal portion 41 of one exterior material 4, the unevenness can be adjusted by rotating the operating bolt 8 of the unevenness adjustment fitting 1, which is also fixed to the vertical portion 40 of the other exterior material 4, to displace the horizontal portion 41 of the other exterior material 4 downward. In this way, the unevenness adjustment method of this embodiment can extremely easily adjust the unevenness between the horizontal portions 41 by simply rotating the operating bolt 8 placed in the base joint 13.

It goes without saying that the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the scope of the concept of the present invention.

The unevenness adjustment fitting 1, outdoor installation structure 2, and unevenness adjustment method of the present invention are suitable as the outdoor installation structure 2 that is installed between the exterior wall and outdoor wall of a building in a space where an outdoor wall is provided to enclose a garden to block views from outside.
