Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a positioning device for a joint cover that spans the rooftops of adjacent buildings and covers the joints between the buildings.

<Prior art> Some joint covers of this type have a simple structure that is directly fixed to each building, but with such a structure, when the buildings shake toward each other due to an earthquake or rainstorm, the As a result, cracks may occur in the joint cover mounting portion, and in some cases, the outer wall of the building may be damaged. Therefore, as a solution to this problem, a structure was devised in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-40979 which absorbs the above-mentioned relative vibration between buildings and eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks. This thing supports a sliding member on the inner surface side of the end of the joint cover and a guide member on the roof surface side, and connects the sliding member to the guide member so as to be able to slide in a substantially horizontal direction, thereby separating the buildings from each other. This corresponds to the case where relative movement occurs in the near direction.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> By the way, with such a configuration, when installing the joint cover on the rooftop, it is difficult to position it, and the joint cover may be deviated outward from the roof of one of the buildings, causing the joint cover to This may cause a construction defect in which the end of the cover protrudes, spoiling the aesthetic appearance.

The object of the present invention is to provide a joint cover positioning device that can absorb the above-mentioned relative movement toward and away from a building and can automatically position the joint cover in a position that consistently covers the building. It is.

<Means for solving the problem> The present invention supports sliding members on the inner surfaces of both ends of the joint cover, and supports guide members on both top surfaces, so that the sliding members are connected to the guide members. The guide member is slidably connected to the guide member in a substantially horizontal direction, and a contact piece that supports the lower surface of the joint cover is protruded from the upper surface of both guide members.
Insert the connecting rod into the sliding hole formed in the corresponding contact piece,
The engaging piece held at the outer end of the connecting rod is connected to the mounting base end position of the sliding member, and the sliding member and the guide member are attached to the connecting rod in the direction of separation between the engaging piece and the contact piece. It is characterized by having a coil spring fitted onto the outside, and having the same spring constant of the coil springs at both ends.

<Operation> The coil springs attached to the ends of the joint covers on both buildings bias the ends outward with a uniform force, and since the spring constants are the same, the forces are balanced. The center of the joint cover is
It will now be located in the middle of the building. Furthermore, when the buildings move relative to each other in the direction toward and away from each other, the sliding member absorbs the movement by sliding in a substantially horizontal direction with respect to the guide member.
