．． The most important connecting members 9 when connecting 1 in a straight line are the wedge member 5 and the hook-shaped metal fitting 11, but the support 10 is used as an auxiliary member. A pair of wedge members 5, 5 are attached in a symmetrical arrangement to the top, middle, and bottom of the butted side frames 2.2 (see FIG. 2), respectively. The wedge members 5, 5 are attached to the side frame 2.
If it is made of steel, this is done by welding, and if it is made of wood, it is done with wood screws, etc. The wedge member 5 includes an inclined plate 6 forming an inclined surface 6a, a pair of guide plates 7 which are connected to the front and rear edges of the inclined plate 6 so as to project laterally, and a side edge frame extending from the lower end of the inclined plate 6. It is integrally formed with a horizontal rib 8 bent toward 2. Said symmetrically arranged wedge members 5.5
The inclined plates 6, 6 are both inclined such that their lower ends move away from the side frame 2.2. Therefore, those inclined surfaces 6a, 6a have a mutually tapered relationship.

The pillar 10 is for stably supporting the wall panel 1.1 in a straight line, and has a total width of two side edge frames 2.
It is slightly wider and has a generally mouth-like cross-sectional shape, and a reinforcing protrusion 10a is punched out along the longitudinal direction at the center thereof. The support column 10 has the side edge frames 2, 2
Hook-shaped metal fittings 11 for sandwiching the wedge members 5.5 are fixed to correspond to the wedge members 5.5 arranged symmetrically at the upper, middle, and lower portions. The hook-shaped metal fitting 11 has a transition portion 12 having a U-shaped planar shape.
and a pair of clamping claw pieces 13.13, which are vertically disposed substantially parallel to both end portions 12a, 12a of the transition portion 12, respectively. The spacing between the clamping claw pieces 13.13 is narrower than the spacing between the lower ends of the inclined plates 6 when the wall panels 1.1 are butted against each other.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention in which the wall panels 1.1 are connected in a cross-shaped manner will be described with reference to FIG. 5, which shows the connected state in a plan view. A wedge member 5, a splint 18, and an auxiliary support post 17 are used as the connecting member 16 for connecting the panels 1.degree. 1 while facing each other at right angles. The wedge member 5 is substantially the same as that described in the case of connecting the wall panels 1, 1. The support columns 17 have a square horizontal cross-sectional shape and are erected at the protruding corners of the wall panels 1.1 that abut each other at right angles. In this case, two adjacent sides of the support column 17 are in contact with both sides of the side frames 2, 2 in the wall panels 1, 1, and the other two sides are flush with both back sides of the side frames 2.2. do. Certification metal fittings 1 day, pillar 1

The distance between each of the 0.20 and each side of the supporting column 17 that it faces is wider than the width of the side edge frame 2, and narrower than the distance from the outer end surface of the side edge frame 2 to the lower end of the slope Fj, 6. There is. The clamping claw pieces 20, 20 are substantially parallel to each other in the vertical direction, and have a cross shape when viewed from above. Both the wedge member 5°5 and the bog-shaped metal fitting 18 are attached to the wall panel 1.
They are arranged at approximately the same intervals on the top, middle, and bottom of the side frame 2.2 in 1. In addition to the above, there are cases where the wall panels 1, 1 are cross-connected, and there are cases in which they are connected at an angle larger than a right angle, and cases where they are connected at an angle smaller than a right angle. It is only necessary to select a certificate having a pillar shape and a transition part of a planar shape suitable for each case.

Next, a working method for linearly connecting wall panels 1.1 using a straight section connecting device which is closely related to the corner connecting device according to the invention will be described.

After connecting the wall panels 1.1 through such operations, caulking material 30 is filled at the boundary between the wall panels 1.1 to complete the connection of the wall panels 1.1. In addition, in order to uncouple the wall panels 1.1, it is sufficient to pull up the connecting member 9 upward from the front side of the wall panels 1, 1 through the upper ends thereof.

Next, with reference to FIG. 1, a working method of a corner connecting device according to an embodiment of the present invention for connecting the wall panels 1.1 in a state where they abut at right angles will be described. First, the wall panels 1 and 1 are erected so that they are perpendicular to each other. At this time, the inclined plates 6°6 arranged symmetrically to the side frames 2, 2 of each wall panel 1゜1 are used to create a virtual surface (support column It goes without saying that an irregular taper is formed on the joint side surface of 17. After that,
With the holding claw piece 20.20 positioned above the toilet member 5.5, the support 17 is moved downward by the same method as described above while applying the support 17 to the outer end surfaces of the side edge frames 2, 2. force it down. Through such work, as above,
The inclined surfaces 6a, 6a (!: are forcibly fitted by the wedge action with the clamping claw pieces 20.20, and the wall panels 1.1 are firmly and closely connected by the force generated at that time.And finally, A caulking material 30 is filled at the boundary between the wall panels 1 and 1. To uncouple the wall panel 1.1, insert the connecting material 9 from the surface side of the wall panel 1.1 through its upper end. Just pull it upwards.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the wedge member as the sandwiched member and the postcard/metal fitting as the sandwiched member are
The interlocking of the wall panels can be achieved in a very short time due to the biasing force generated by the imitation effect when the wall panels are force-fitted through the tapered inclined surfaces. In addition, the connected wall panels are given a force to force them to fit together, and there is no risk of them loosening even if they are intentionally released, so the connection of the wall panels is strong and reliable. , there is no gap between them, and therefore, there is no possibility of joint misalignment at the connection boundary even after many years of use. Furthermore, even when replacing the wall panel after assembly and connection, the wall panel can be easily separated by simply pulling up the hammer-shaped metal fitting on the back side through the upper end of the wall panel.
