Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention is a connecting structure for connecting two hollow Kasagi with the seam covered. The present invention relates to a connection structure that allows caps to be connected at any angle.

[Prior Art] When caps are installed outside a building, it is preferable to connect them with the joints of the caps covered, for reasons such as preventing rainwater from entering.

An example of a method for connecting such a capstone is the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 34663/1983.

In this method, two
A connecting member comprising a strip plate, a partition wall provided at a position extending over the entire length of the strip plate and dividing the width into two, and two grooves formed by being surrounded by the partition wall. The ends of the caps are inserted into the grooves, and the grooves are sealed with a sealing material to connect the two caps.

In this method, the joint between the caps is covered both on the outside and inside by the two band-shaped plates, so that the joint can be kept in a sealed state.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In the conventional method of connecting caps as described above, it is difficult to seal the joints without using a sealing material, and furthermore, it is difficult to connect two caps only in a straight line. The problem is that it cannot be done.

This invention was made in view of the above points, and the purpose is to provide a connecting structure for caps that can extremely easily connect two hollow caps at any angle with the joint covered. It is something.

[Means for solving the problem] In this invention, in the connection structure of two hollow caps that are connected with their joints covered, the cross-sectional shapes of the caps face each other to form approximately one circular shape. The space between the first cover part and the second cover part facing each other is composed of substantially semicircular first and second cover parts, and a partition part that connects and holds these two cover parts together. The opposing edges of each of the caps are inserted into the caps, the first cover part covers the joints from the outside of the caps, and the second cover part faces this and covers the joints from the inside of the caps. The cover is further provided with a flexible connecting member formed such that the wall thickness of both cover portions becomes thinner at the tip portion of the substantially semicircular cross section that contacts the opposite end edge portion of the cap. This solves the above problems.

[Function] In the connecting member according to this invention, the first cover part that covers the joint on the outer surface of the Kasagi and the second cover part that covers the joint on the inner surface both have a substantially semicircular cross section and are arranged facing each other. The cross-sectional shape in a state in which they are connected and held together by the partition portion forms approximately one circular shape. In the case of connecting the caps in a straight line with such a shape using a connecting member whose cross-sectional shape is a straight line that vertically bridges the intermediate portions of the two semicircles. In this case, the cap to be connected may be inserted between the first and second cover parts so that the end of the cap is perpendicular to the partition plate.

In addition, when connecting two caps so that they are perpendicular to each other, make sure that the ends of the caps are in contact with the area where the first cover part (second cover part) and the partition part are locked, that is, the partition plate It is sufficient to insert the two caps so that the caps make a 45° angle with respect to the caps.

Furthermore, when connecting the caps at an arbitrary angle other than 90° or 180°, this can be done by adjusting the angle with respect to the partition when inserting the caps between 90 and 45°.

Furthermore, since the connecting member according to the present invention is made of resin, it is flexible, and the end of the cap can be easily inserted between the first and second cover parts, even if the cross-sectional shape of the cap is varied. Although it can be accommodated in a considerable range, the thickness of the cover part is formed to be thinner at the tip that contacts the opposite end edge of the cap board to be inserted, so that the cap board can be easily inserted.

If the capacitor is inserted into the connecting member according to the present invention as described above, the ends of both cover parts can be connected between the first cover part and the second cover part without using a special sealing material or the like. Since the joints are sealed and fixed by sandwiching the caps at the line contact between the parts, it is very easy to connect the caps.

[Example] Fig. 2 is a perspective view of an example of a connecting member according to the present invention, in which 1a is a first cover part;
B is a second cover part, and 3 is a partition part.

As shown in the figure, the first and second cover parts 1a and 1b each have a semi-cylindrical shape, and form one cylinder when faced and locked.

The partition part 3 has first and second cover parts 1a,
1b and partitions the two cover parts over the entire length at a position approximately one-half of the circular arc.

Further, the first and second cover parts 1a, 1
The wall thickness of b gradually decreases toward the end of each arc, making it easier to insert the cap.

Since the above-mentioned connecting members are made of resin, the flexibility of the members allows them to be used to connect caps with various cross-sectional shapes, and they can be mass-produced at low cost by extrusion molding, injection molding, etc. .

Fig. 1 is a plan view of an embodiment in which the caps are connected in a straight line at one point and perpendicularly at the other using the above-mentioned connecting member, and Fig. 3 is a section taken along line D-D in Fig. 1. FIG. 2 is a side view of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 taken away;

First, the connecting member 1 as shown in FIG. 2 is cut in advance to a length that matches the dimensions of the top and side surfaces of the cap 2.

Then, the first part of the connecting member 1 made to have an appropriate length is
and the Kasagi 2 between the second cover parts 1a and 1b.
Insert the end of the cap 2 so that the second cover part 1b is on the inner surface side.

Here, FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line B--B in FIG. 1, and FIGS. 4 and 6 are sectional views taken along the line AA and CC in FIG. 2, respectively.

When connecting the cap 2 in a straight line, the cap 2 is inserted so that both the top and side surfaces are perpendicular to the partition 3 as shown in FIG.

Further, when connecting the caps 2 so as to intersect with each other, the ends of the caps 2 are cut at an angle of 45° in advance.

Then, on the upper surface of the cap 2, insert the cap 2 so that it is perpendicular to the partition part 3, as in the case of connecting in a straight line, and on the side, on the outside of the L-shaped part, the cap 2 is inserted. As shown in the figure, the end of the cap 2 should be in contact with the part where the first cover part 1a and the partition part 3 are locked, and the second cover part 1b should be in contact with the inside of the L-shaped part as shown in FIG. The cap 2 is connected to the partition 3 so that the end of the cap 2 touches the part where the partition 3 is locked.
They should be inserted so that they form a 45° angle.

The joints of the caps 2 connected in the above manner are covered on the outer surface by the first cover part 1a and the inner surface by the second cover part 1b, and the ends of the caps 2 are covered by the second cover part 1b. First and second cover parts 1
It is sealed by being sandwiched between a and 1b at the tip of the tip.

Furthermore, since the connecting member according to the present invention is made of resin, it is highly elastic, and can connect not only hats with the cross-sectional shape shown in FIG. 3 but also various cross-sectional shapes.

Furthermore, although this embodiment describes the case where the caps are connected in a straight line or perpendicularly, the caps can be connected at any angle by adjusting the angle at which the caps are inserted. It is also possible to fill the gap inside the connecting member with a sealing material to further improve the sealing of the seam.

[Effects of the invention] In this invention, by using a resin connecting member of a specific shape, the hollow cap is covered with both the outer and inner surfaces of the joint and sealed.
It has the excellent effect of being extremely easy to connect at any angle.

By using such a connection structure for the cap, the installation work of the cap can be made very efficiently, and the intrusion of rainwater etc. from the joint of the cap can be prevented without special sealing of the joint, and the beauty of the joint can be prevented. do not have.
