Abstract

A framing member forming a frame of a factory building is provided with a slit for attaching a holder on one side face of the framing member, the slit extending in a longitudinal direction of the framing member, the slit is provided with a detachment prevention mechanism configured to exert an action of preventing an insertion piece of the holder from being detached and to fix the holder to the framing member, along with an insertion of the insertion piece into the slit, and the holder is provided with a pinching piece configured to pinch an end edge portion of a wall panel between the pinching piece and the framing member to fix the wall panel to the framing member, along with the insertion of the insertion piece into the slit.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A factory building assembly structure,
wherein
a framing member forming a frame of a factory building is provided with a slit formed on the framing member for attaching a holder on one side face of the framing member, the slit extending in a longitudinal direction of the framing member,
the slit is provided with a detachment prevention mechanism configured to exert an action of preventing an insertion piece of the holder from being detached and to fix the holder to the framing member, along with an insertion of the insertion piece into the slit, and
the holder is formed with a pinching piece that presses an end edge portion of a wall panel between the pinching piece and the framing member to fix the wall panel against the framing member, along with the insertion of the insertion piece into the slit,
wherein the detachment prevention mechanism comprises:
a detachment prevention engaging portion provided as a fold back portion on the insertion piece of the holder; and
a detachment prevention engaged portion provided on the framing member, which is configured to prevent the insertion piece of the holder from being detached, by being engaged with the detachment prevention engaging portion along with an insertion of the insertion piece into the slit.

2. The factory building assembly structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the end edge portion of the wall panel is pinched between a panel receiving face of the framing member configured to receive the end edge portion of the wall panel and the pinching piece of the holder, while a sealing member is present between the end edge portion of the wall panel and the panel receiving face.

3. The factory building assembly structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the holder is provided with two ridges of the insertion piece arranged in parallel, and the slit has an opening width that allows simultaneous insertion of two ridges of the insertion piece of the holder.

4. The factory building assembly structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein C type steel is used as the framing member and an opening in a C-shaped section of the C type steel is used as the slit.

5. The factory building assembly structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the holder is a bent member formed by bending processing so as to have the insertion piece and the pinching piece as bent portions.

6. The factory building assembly structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein two pinching pieces are arranged on both sides of the insertion piece of the holder, and these two pinching pieces are configured to fix the respective wall panels to the framing member.

7. The factory building assembly structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein a coupling mechanism is provided that is configured to connect two framing members, by exerting a connection action as the framing members are moved relatively toward each other along a predetermined approaching pathway while retaining a state in which outer faces of the framing members are opposed to each other so that the wall panel mounted on each framing member extends in an opposite direction from the framing members.

8. The factory building assembly structure according to claim 7 ,
wherein the coupling mechanism comprises:
a coupling engaging portion provided on one of the two framing members; and
a coupling engaged portion provided on the other of the two framing members, which is configured to be engaged with the coupling engaging portion to connect the two framing members in a state in which outer faces of the two framing members are opposed to each other, as the two framing members are moved relatively toward each other along a predetermined approaching pathway while retaining a state in which outer faces of the two framing members are opposed to each other.

9. The factory building assembly structure according to claim 7 ,
wherein at least one of the two framing members is provided with a guide member configured to guide a relative approaching movement along a predetermined approaching pathway of the two framing members.

10. A method for assembling a factory building using a factory building assembly, the factory building assembly comprising:
a framing member forming a frame of a factory building is provided with a slit formed on the framing member for attaching a holder on one side face of the framing member, the slit extending in a longitudinal direction of the framing member,
the slit is provided with a detachment prevention mechanism configured to exert an action of preventing an insertion piece of the holder from being detached and to fix the holder to the framing member, along with an insertion of the insertion piece into the slit, and
the holder is formed with a pinching piece that presses an end edge portion of a wall panel between the pinching piece and the framing member to fix the wall panel against the framing member, along with the insertion of the insertion piece into the slit,
wherein the detachment prevention mechanism comprises:
a detachment prevention engaging portion provided as a fold back portion on the insertion piece of the holder; and
a detachment prevention engaged portion provided on the framing member, which is configured to prevent the insertion piece of the holder from being detached, by being engaged with the detachment prevention engaging portion along with an insertion of the insertion piece into the slit, and

wherein a coupling mechanism is provided that is configured to connect two framing members, by exerting a connection action as the framing members are moved relatively toward each other along a predetermined approaching pathway while retaining a state in which outer faces of the framing members are opposed to each other so that the wall panel mounted on each framing member extends in an opposite direction from the framing members,
the method comprising the steps of:
a step of forming a wall structure, in which the wall panel is fixed to the two framing members arranged in parallel in a front-rear direction using the holder in such a manner that the wall panel bridges the two framing members;
a step of forming a gate-shaped module, in which a transversal wall structure is connected to a pair of right and left upright wall structures in such a manner that the transversal wall structure bridges the right and left upright wall structures; and
a step of constructing the factory building by connecting a plurality of the gate-shaped modules arranged in the front-rear direction, in which two gate-shaped modules arranged adjacently in the front-rear direction, with a rear side of one of the framing members adjacent a front side of the gate-shaped module and the front side of one of the framing members adjacent a rear side of the gate-shaped module, are connected with each other by the coupling mechanism.
