The present invention relates to a balcony, particularly to an assembly outdoor balcony which can be quickly assembled and disassembled in accordance with the on-site environment.
Currently, an outdoor balcony is usually made up of reinforced concrete, timber or welded steel structures. In general, after the columns are provided, cross beams are disposed at intervals, and then balcony panels are installed. However, the traditional outdoor balcony cannot be altered after the assembly is completed. If a user is not satisfied with the structure or type of assembly, the user can only disassemble the balcony and reassemble it. Besides, the user cannot temporarily change the type of assembly in accordance with the on-site environment or user's needs.
In view of the foregoing shortcomings related to the traditional fixed outdoor balcony in the prior art, the inventor studied a variety of methods based on manufacturing experiences and skills accumulated, and finally designed and developed the present invention after continuous research, experiments and improvement to eliminate deficiencies and defects in the prior art.
Accordingly, it is an objective of the present invention to provide an assembly outdoor balcony which is formed through aluminum extrusion molding, such that no screw is required for locking during assembly. Thus, it can be assembled and disassembled easily.
It is another objective of the present invention to provide an assembly outdoor balcony, which is formed by mutual engagement of a plurality of columns, cross beams, beams, adjustable hanging element wall-assembled hanging element, and balcony panels. Therefore, the assembly outdoor balcony can be assembled and disassembled quickly.
It is a further objective of the present invention to provide an upright outdoor balcony, in which component elements such as columns, beams, and cross beams can be assembled quickly through a wall assembled element and a beam hanger, and any of two beams can be assembled through an angle adjustable hanging element such that the peripheral shape of the balcony can be adjusted for changes in a variety of angles.
The detailed structure, application principles, functions and effectiveness of the present invention will be apparent with reference to the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
In the assembly outdoor balcony of the present invention, as shown in
The plurality of columns 10 is disposed at intervals on one side of the wall surface 100 to form the whole periphery of the balcony.
The plurality of beams 20 is disposed on the columns 10 to form the whole periphery of the balcony.
The plurality of cross beams 30 are perpendicular to the wall surface 100, and are horizontally disposed at intervals between the beams 20 and the wall surface 100.
The plurality of balcony panels 40 are laid on the cross beams 30. The balcony panels 40 may selectively be translucent balcony panels 40A based on user's needs.
The detailed structure of the assembly outdoor balcony in the present invention will become apparent with reference to the embodiments in conjunction with accompanying drawings.
Please refer to section A of
The wall-assembled hanging element 50 includes a bottom plate 501 and a rim 502. The bottom plate 501 is fixed to the wall surface 100 through a tool such as a nail. The rim 502 allows an end of the cross beams 30 to sleeve in and stop.

As shown, the fixed portion 701 of the adjustable hanging element 70 is pivoted to the rotating portion 702 through a pivot 705. The rotating portion 702 can rotate left and right relative to the pivot 705; a partition plate 706 is disposed on one side of the rotating portion 702, and an assembled frame 707 is disposed on the opposite side of the partition plate 706. When the fixed portion 701 of the adjustable hanging element 70 is hooked up on a beam 20, an end of another beam 20A can be sleeved into the assembled frame 707. Thus, the angles between the two beams 20 can be adjusted to different angles.
Please also refer to section D of
The balcony panel assembly element 80 includes two gusset plates 801 and 802 and a base plate 803. The two gusset plates 801 and 802 are identical to each other. An upside down portion 804 is disposed at the upper end of the two gusset plates 801 and 802, and a bottom hook 805 is disposed at the bottom of the two gusset plates 801 and 802. A bent-back folded plate 806 is formed at an end of the upside down portion 803, and a slot 807 is formed inside the folded plate 806. Thereby, the upside down portion 804 of the gusset plates 801 and 802 can be hooked up in the bottom groove 304, 305 of the cross beam 30, and the bottom hook 805 can be hooked up in the groove 301, 302 of the cross beam 30, such that the two gusset plates 801 and 802 can be securely fixed to both sides of the cross beam 30.
The length of the base plate 803 is the same as the width of the gusset plates 801 and 802. As such, when the base plate 803 is inserted into a slot 807 of the two gusset plates 801 and 802, the base plate 803 is clamped fixedly by the gusset plates 801 and 802. This prevents the base plate 803 from sliding back and forth. Vertical plates 803A and 803B are formed at two ends of the base plate 803 respectively. The vertical plates 803A and 803B are perpendicular to the folded plate 806. The height of the vertical plates 803A and 803B is slightly greater than the folded plate 806. Also, an inverted bent portion 803C is formed at top end of the base plate 803;
As shown, two guide plates 401 and 402 which are extending from bottom to top are disposed at the lower end of the balcony panels 40. When the two guide plates 401 and 402 are inserted into the outside of the vertical plates 803A and 803B of the base plate 803, the two guide plates 401 and 402 can be vertically clamped fixedly by the inverted bent portion 803C of the vertical plates 803A and 803B and the protruding portion 303 of the cross beam 30, by which the balcony panels 40 can be tightly fixed to the top of the cross beam 30. Moreover, the position of the base plate 803 is limited by the gusset plates 801 and 802, the sliding and displacement of the balcony panels 40 can be avoided.

Accordingly, the assembly outdoor balcony in the present invention can be assembled and disassembled quickly because the overall elements are assembled through mutual engagement. Through the bottom groove disposed on the beams and the cross beams, the adjustable hanging element 70 and the engaged hanging element 60 can be positioned and fixed quickly; the balcony panels assembly element 80 can also be easily mounted on the cross beams. Also, once the installation position of the balcony panels are confirmed, the balcony panel assembly element 80 can be positioned and fixed quickly, which prevents the balcony panels from sliding due to strong winds after the assembly.
When the present invention is implemented, the length of the balcony panels may selectively be lightweight aluminum panels with the length of 6 feet and the width of 1 foot. The translucent balcony panels may selectively be glass fiber with the length of 3 feet, and the width of 3 feet. Also, since the assembly elements are all made of lightweight aluminum alloy, they are easy to process, compact and easy to install, thereby improving their productivity while reducing the user's installation time.
When the present invention is implemented, the balcony panels and the translucent balcony panels may selectively be made of fiberglass materials with good insulation, heat resistance, anti-corrosion effect, and high mechanical strength.
It should be noted that the described are preferred embodiments, and that changes and modifications may be made to the described embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention as disposed by the appended claims.
