Abstract

A penetration structure for a fireproof compartment has a through hole(s) provided at a compartment and a pipe(s) penetrating through the through hole(s). A circumference of the pipe(s) is wound by an epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet. The epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet is a laminate of one or more epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition layers having at least one of linear grooves continuously formed and linear grooves intermittently formed, and two or more of the respective linear grooves being formed onto at least one surface of the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet with an interval, and one or more substrate layers. The epoxy-resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet can be wound around the pipe by bending the sheet through use of the grooves even when the temperature is low.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

a circumference of the pipe(s) is wound by an epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet,
the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet comprises an epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition layer(s) having at least one of linear grooves continuously formed and linear grooves intermittently formed, and two or more of the respective linear grooves being formed onto at least one surface of the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet with an interval, and a substrate layer(s), being laminated,
the two or more respective linear grooves formed onto at least one surface of the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet are formed substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet, with an interval from each other,
the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet is wound to the pipe(s) toward the outside of the linear grooves continuously formed and linear grooves intermittently formed.

2. The penetration structure for a fireproof compartment described in the claim 1 , wherein a gap between the pipe(s) wound by the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet and the through hole(s) provided at the compartment is filled with an incombustible material.

3. The penetration structure for a fireproof compartment described in the claim 2 , wherein the compartment is a hollow wall.

4. A method for constructing a penetration structure for a fireproof compartment which comprises at least
(1) a step of winding an epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet to a pipe(s) penetrating through a through hole(s) provided at the compartment, and
(2) a step of filling a gap between the pipe(s) wound by the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet and the through hole(s) provided at the compartment by an incombustible material, wherein
the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet comprises an epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition layer(s) having at least one of linear grooves continuously formed and linear grooves intermittently formed, and two or more of the respective linear grooves being formed onto at least one surface of the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet with an interval, and a substrate layer(s), being laminated,
the two or more respective linear grooves formed onto at least one surface of the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet are formed substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet, with an interval from each other,
the step (1) is a step of bending the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition layer of the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet to the direction in which the continuously or intermittently formed linear grooves open, and winding the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet to the pipe(s) penetrating through the through hole(s) provided to the compartment by facing the linear grooves toward the outside.

5. The method for constructing a penetration structure for a fireproof compartment described in the claim 4 , which further comprises (3) a step of bending the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition layer of the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet to the direction in which the linear grooves open, and cracking the same along with the linear grooves.

6. The method for constructing a penetration structure for a fireproof compartment described in the claim 4 , which further comprises (4) a step of winding a base tape to the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet.

7. The method for constructing a penetration structure for a fireproof compartment described in the claim 4 , wherein the compartment used in the step (2) is a hollow wall, and
at least one substrate layer laminated at the outside of the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition layer contained in the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet contains an incombustible material.

8. The method for constructing a penetration structure for a fireproof compartment described in the claim 4 , which comprises a step of winding a round or more the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet in which two or more respective linear grooves formed onto at least one surface of the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet are formed substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet with an interval from each other, in the substantially perpendicular direction to the longitudinal direction of the pipe(s).

9. The method for constructing a penetration structure for a fireproof compartment described in the claim 4 , which comprises a step of winding spirally the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet in which two or more respective linear grooves formed onto at least one surface of the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet are formed obliquely to the longitudinal direction of the epoxy resin-containing thermally expandable resin composition sheet with an interval from each other, to the longitudinal direction of the pipe(s).
