The present invention relates to a forms structure, a panel support member, a panel support member for internal corner, a panel support member for external corner and a construction method of forms suitable for use in constructing forms to cast concrete.
In conventional inventions, forms structures for casting concrete are proposed, as disclosed in e.g. Japanese Examined Utility Model (Registration) Application Publication No. 54-15946, mainly including form plates disposed oppositely, a separator which maintains an interval between the form plates, engaging members (P cones) disposed at both ends of the separator via a connecting shaft, form plate clamps (form ties) to be screwed into the connecting shaft, vertical battens which abut on an outer surface of each form plate, horizontal battens which abut on the vertical batten and a wedge to be hit into a hole of the form plate clamp to secure each batten (see Patent Document 1).
Patent Document 1: Japanese Examined Utility Model (Registration) Application Publication No. 54-15946
However, conventional forms structures, as in the invention described in Patent Document 1 and the like, involve vertically and horizontally disposing a combination of a plurality of long battens consisting of steel pipes, etc. and fastening them with a form tie to secure a form plate. Therefore, transportation of such many battens causes significant problems of enormous work and costs, as well as arduous on-site handling in a small construction site and even injuries to workers.
In addition, a form plate must normally be provided with a hole to be bored which penetrates one end of a separator, resulting in a long-time boring work and failure of a forms panel due to its decreased strength. Also, fastening work with a form tie usually requires technical experience and long construction duration, leading to insufficient number of skilled workers in construction sites and delay in construction schedule and higher construction costs.
It is also indicated that a completed concrete presents a removing hole, i.e. a mark of a washer by fastening the concrete with a P cone, leading to a poor appearance.
The concrete wall is provided with an induction joint at which crack is concentrated to prevent it from expanding. An induction joint formed within the boundary between the form plates is made at a much longer interval from another induction joint according to conventional technical standards, which contribute to the generation of additional crack therebetween on the concrete wall.
To solve the aforementioned problems, it is, therefore, one object of the present invention to provide a forms structure, a panel support member, a panel support member for internal corner, a panel support member for external corner, and a construction method of forms capable of realizing such features as enhancing safety in transportation work and assembling work through reduction in the number of components and compact unitization, eliminating lack of experience and shortening the assembling work by eliminating the fastening work by form tie or the boring work of a forms panel, preventing a crack in a concrete wall from expanding by narrowing the interval between induction joints, and concealing a P cone removing hole remaining due to the induction joint.
A forms structure according to the present invention comprising a forms panel disposed to intercept concrete, a panel support member erected on both sides of the forms panel in order to support the forms panel, a horizontal member supported at an outer side face of the panel support member at a plurality of upper and lower portions thereof while spaced apart by a predetermined distance from the forms panel, and a wedge member inserted between the horizontal member and said forms panel and securing the forms panel by pressing it against said panel support member.
A panel support member according to the present invention comprising a forms structure as set forth in Claim 1, furthermore comprising an inner wall surface part facing the inside of said forms structure, an outer wall surface part provided in substantially parallel with the inner wall surface part while spaced apart by a predetermined distance therefrom, a horizontal member supporting part provided at a plurality of upper and lower portions of the outer wall surface part to support one end of said horizontal member, and a panel holding part provided at both end side parts of said inner wall surface part to sandwich said forms panel with said wedge member.
A panel support member for internal corner according to the present invention mutually orthogonally supporting a forms panel disposed at an internal corner comprising a forms structure as set forth in Claim 1, furthermore comprising a first inner wall surface part and a second inner wall surface part mutually orthogonally connected at an internal corner of said forms structure to form a convex inner wall surface inside the forms structure, a first outer wall surface part provided in substantially parallel with said first inner wall surface part while spaced apart by a predetermined distance therefrom, a second outer wall surface part provided in substantially parallel with said second inner wall surface part while spaced apart by a predetermined distance therefrom, a first horizontal member supporting part provided at a plurality of upper and lower portions of said first outer wall surface part to support one end of said horizontal member, a second horizontal member supporting part provided at a plurality of upper and lower portions of said second outer wall surface part to support one end of said horizontal member and a panel holding part provided at each outside end of said first inner wall surface part and said second inner wall surface part to sandwich said forms panel with said wedge member
Also, a panel support member for external corner according to the present invention mutually orthogonally supporting a forms panel disposed at an external corner comprising a forms structure as set forth in Claim 1, furthermore comprising a first inner wall surface part and a second inner wall surface part mutually orthogonally connected at an external corner of said forms structure to form a concave inner wall surface inside the forms structure, a first outer wall surface part provided in substantially parallel with said first inner wall surface part while spaced apart by a predetermined distance therefrom, a second outer wall surface part provided in substantially parallel with said second inner wall surface part while spaced apart by a predetermined distance therefrom, a first horizontal member supporting part provided at a plurality of upper and lower portions of said first outer wall surface part to support said horizontal member, a second horizontal member supporting part provided at a plurality of upper and lower portions of said second outer wall surface part to support said horizontal member and a panel holding part provided at each outside end of said first inner wall surface part and said second inner wall surface part to sandwich said forms panel with said wedge member.
Preferably in this invention, when forms panels are disposed oppositely, a separator which maintains an interval between panel support members erected on both sides of the forms panel and mutually oppositely disposed is provided, a cone member is provided at one end of the separator, a joint bar is disposed at upper and lower portions of the cone member to form an induction joint, and a truncated quadrangular pyramidal cone cover having the substantially same section as the joint bar is coated on said cone member.
A construction method of forms according to the present invention to support a forms panel to intercept concrete by panel support members, comprising the steps of: erecting said panel support members while spaced apart by a predetermined distance from each other and disposing said forms panel therebetween;
supporting a horizontal member at an outer side face of said panel support members by a horizontal member supporting part while spaced apart by a predetermined distance from said forms panel; and
pressing and securing the forms panel to said panel support members by inserting a wedge member between the horizontal member and said forms panel.
Accordingly, it is, of course, that this invention is capable of realizing such features as enhancing safety in transportation work and assembling work through reduction in the number of components and compact unitization, eliminating lack of experience and shortening the assembling work by eliminating the fastening work by form tie or the boring work of a forms panel, preventing a crack in a concrete wall from expanding by narrowing the interval between induction joints, and concealing a P cone removing hole remaining due to the induction joint.
A first embodiment of a forms structure, a panel support member, a panel support member for internal corner, a panel support member for external corner and a construction method of forms according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in
Each component of this embodiment will be described in detail as follows. The forms panel 2 plays a role in intercepting concrete cast. In this first embodiment, the forms panel 2, as shown in
The forms panel 2 may be a wooden board like veneer, a resin board like transparent acrylic board, a steel plate, an aluminum plate and the like, as long as it plays a role in intercepting concrete. In this first embodiment, concrete-cast surface is formed of a concrete panel coated with urethane so as to provide a good appearance thereon, with other 2 panels from recycled veneer, leading to efficient use of wood resources. In lieu of 3 panels, the forms panel 2 may be formed of one panel having recessed grooves 21.
The separator 6 plays a role in fastening panel support members 3, 3 oppositely disposed inside and outside to maintain a predetermined distance therebetween. In this first embodiment, the separator 6 is formed of a rod-like shape by a steel material, etc., and both ends thereof are provided with a male screw 61. Also, a cone member 62 formed of a truncated cone from plastics, etc., is secured to both ends of the separator 6. The cone member 62 is provided with a female screw hole 63 which axially screws into the male screw 61 of the separator 6. A connecting bolt 64 is externally screwed into the female screw hole 63 to mount the separator 6.
In this first embodiment, as shown in
Additionally, in this first embodiment, a substantially truncated quadrangular pyramidal cone cover 10 is externally covered on each cone member 62. The cone cover 10, as shown in
The horizontal member 7 and the wedge member 8 play a role in pressing and securing the forms panel 2 to the panel support member 3. In this first embodiment, the horizontal member 7 is formed of a square pipe of substantially rectangular section, having a longer length than an interval between adjacent panel support members 3. The horizontal member 7 is supported at an outer side face of the panel support member 3 at a plurality of upper and lower portions thereof while spaced apart by a predetermined distance from the forms panel 2.
The wedge member 8 made of wood, etc. is formed, by inserting into a space between the horizontal member 7 and the forms panel 2 to apply pressing force to the forms panel 2. In this first embodiment, as shown in
The panel support members 3, the panel support members for internal corner 4 and the panel support members for external corner 5 are erected with a predetermined distance therebetween to support the forms panels 2. In this first embodiment, the panel support member 3 supports adjacent forms panels 2 almost in the same plane, and the panel support member for internal corner 4 mutually orthogonally supports the forms panels 2 disposed at an internal corner of the forms structure 1. The panel support member for external corner 5 mutually orthogonally supports the forms panels 2 disposed at an external corner of the forms structure 1.
As shown in
Each component of the panel support member 3 will be described as follows. The inner wall surface part 31 and the outer wall surface part 32 are formed in a flat plate shape, and substantially middle parts of both thereof are connected by a plate-shaped connecting plate 36. The connecting plate 36 connects the inner wall surface part 31 and the outer wall surface part 32, both of which are disposed substantially in parallel with each other, at a longer interval than a thickness of the forms panel 2. As a result, parts of the inner wall surface part 31 extended to both end side parts thereof can engage with the forms panel 2 pressed by the wedge member 8, thereby providing a function as the panel holding part 35 of this first embodiment.
The through hole 33 penetrates a connecting bolt 64 screwed into the cone member 62 provided at one end of the separator 6. This invention is not particularly limited to this first embodiment where the through hole 33 passes from the inner wall surface part 31 through the outer wall surface part 32 via the connecting plate 36 as shown in
The horizontal member supporting part 34 supports the horizontal member 7 while spaced apart by a predetermined distance from the forms panel 2. In this first embodiment, the horizontal member supporting part 34 is formed of a square pipe, having an insertion hole 34a whose length and width are greater than those of a section of the horizontal member 7. As shown in
In this first embodiment, when the panel support members 3 are vertically connected, a pair of connecting pieces 37,37 formed of a flat plate are used. Specifically, as shown in
Next, the panel support member for internal corner 4 supports the forms panels 2 disposed at an internal corner of the forms structure 1, mainly including a first inner wall surface part 41a and a second inner wall surface part 41b forming an inner wall surface at an internal corner of the forms structure 1, a first outer wall surface part 42a and a second outer wall surface part 42b provided in substantially parallel with the first inner wall surface part 41a and the second inner wall surface part 41b while spaced apart by a predetermined distance therefrom, respectively, a first through hole 43a and a second through hole 43b bored from the first inner wall surface part 41a and the second inner wall surface part 41b through the first outer wall surface part 42a and the second outer wall surface part 42b, respectively, a first horizontal member supporting part 44a and a second horizontal member supporting part 44b provided at the first outer wall surface part 42a and the second outer wall surface part 42b, respectively, and a panel holding part 45 formed at each outside end of the first inner wall surface part 41a and the second inner wall surface part 41b.
The first inner wall surface part 41a and the second inner wall surface part 41b, as shown in
The first outer wall surface part 42a and the second outer wall surface part 42b, like the above-described outer wall surface part 32, are provided in substantially parallel with the first inner wall surface part 41a and the second inner wall surface part 41b via the connecting plate 36, respectively. Thus, the panel support member for internal corner 4 of this first embodiment, as shown in
The panel support member for external corner 5 supports the forms panel 2 disposed at an external corner of the forms structure 1, mainly including a first inner wall surface part 51a and a second inner wall surface part 51b forming an inner wall surface at an external corner of the forms structure 1, a first outer wall surface part 52a and a second outer wall surface part 52b provided in substantially parallel with the first inner wall surface part 51a and the second inner wall surface part 51b while spaced apart by a predetermined distance therefrom, respectively, a first through hole 53a and a second through hole 53b bored from the first inner wall surface part 5 la and the second inner wall surface part 51b through the first outer wall surface part 52a and the second outer wall surface part 52b, respectively, a first horizontal member supporting part 54a and a second horizontal member supporting part 54b provided at the first outer wall surface part 52a and the second outer wall surface part 52b, respectively, and a panel holding part 55 at each outside end of the first inner wall surface part 51a and the second inner wall surface part 51b.
Specifically, as shown in
A detailed description is not provided regarding other components corresponding to the above-described panel support members 3 or the panel support member for internal corner 4.
Next, operations of the forms structure 1, the panel support member 3, the panel support member for internal corner 4 and the panel support member for external corner 5, and the construction method of forms of this first embodiment having the above components will be described with reference to the drawings.
Firstly, a use of the panel support member 3, the panel support member for internal corner 4 and the panel support member for external corner 5 of this first embodiment constructs the forms structure 1 of this first embodiment. In this case, the panel support member for internal corner 4 is erected at an internal corner and the panel support member for external corner 5 is erected at an external corner. In other places, the panel support member 3 is erected so that the inner wall surface part 31 internally faces the forms structure 1. Adjacent panel support members 3 are erected while spaced apart by a predetermined distance so that an interval between the panel holding parts 35 thereof is shorter than a width of the forms panel 2.
Next, when each of panel support members 3 is lower than a required height of a desired forms structure 1, a plurality of panel support members 3 must be vertically connected. In this case, while a pair of connecting pieces 37,37 are secured to an upper end of one panel support member 3, a connecting plate 36 of the other panel support member 3 is inserted into a space between the connecting pieces 37,37 to be secured. The connecting pieces 37,37 hold the connecting plate 36 of the panel support member 3 inserted to prevent the panel support members 3 from tumbling down, thereby achieving operational safety.
Like the panel support members 3, the panel support members for internal corner 4 and the panel support members for external corner 5 are vertically connected. Since a connecting plate 36 is concealed in the panel support member for internal corner 4, connecting pieces 37,37 are additionally secured to the first outer wall surface part 42a and the second outer wall surface part 42b.
Subsequently, forms panels 2 are disposed between adjacent panel support members 3,3. Since the forms panels 2 are externally mounted with each of panel holding parts 35,35, the panel holding parts 35,35 are designed to hold both end edge parts of the forms panel 2 to prevent them from internally tumbling down. Likewise, forms panels 2 are disposed between the panel support member for internal corner 4 and its 2 adjacent panel support members 3,3 in the direction orthogonal thereto, and between the panel support member for external corner 5 and its 2 adjacent panel support members 3,3 in the direction orthogonal thereto.
Here, when each of forms panels 2 is lower than a required height of a desired forms structure 1, a limewash stop member 22 is fitted into a recessed groove 21 of an upper end of one forms panel 2, into which a recessed groove 21 of a lower end of the other forms panel 2 is fitted to be connected. By this operation, the limewash stop member 22 prevents cast concrete from infiltrating into a connecting part between upper and lower forms panels 2 and coming out of the surface.
Next, a separator 6 is disposed between panel support members 3,3 oppositely disposed. Specifically, by adjusting a position of a cone member 62 provided at both ends of the separator 6, the separator 6 is secured so as to make a predetermined distance between outer end faces of the cone members 62. Then, the separator 6 is disposed so that the outer end faces abut on each of inner wall surface parts 31 of the panel support members 3, and a connecting bolt 64 penetrated in each through hole 33 is screwed into a female screw hole 63 of each cone member 62.
As shown in
In this first embodiment, a cone cover 10 is coated on each cone member 62, and a joint bar 9 is disposed on upper and lower portions of the cone cover 10. In this case, upper and lower end faces of the cone cover 10 formed in a flat plate provide an easy positioning of an end of the joint bar 9 and a continuous configuration thereof. Subsequently, a removing hole of the cone member 62 is concealed within an induction joint, resulting in no such mark on a finished surface of a concrete wall. Also, it is not necessary to fill the removing hole with a filler, etc. Crack can be concentrated only at the induction joint formed, thereby preventing the crack from expanding to the finished surface.
Next, horizontal member supporting parts 34,34 of adjacent panel support members 3,3 are inserted into one end of the horizontal member 7 and the other end of the horizontal member 7. As a result, the horizontal member 7 is substantially horizontally supported outside of the forms panels 2 while spaced apart by a slight interval. The panel support members 3 are aligned in a correct straight line by the horizontal member 7. Viewed at the internal corner and external corner, panel support members 3, which are each adjacent to the panel support member for internal corner 4 and the panel support member for external corner 5, are aligned substantially in the direction orthogonal thereto.
A wedge member 8 is hit into a space between the horizontal member 7 and the forms panel 2. Therefore, the wedge member 8 internally presses an outer surface of the forms panel 2, which is received by a panel holding part 35, thereby sandwiching the forms panel 2 between the wedge member 8 and the panel holding part 35 to be secured. Thus, concrete can be cast between forms panels 2 oppositely secured.
From the above description of this first embodiment, the following advantages can be obtained.
Next, a second embodiment of a forms structure 11, a panel support member 13, a panel support member for internal corner 14, a panel support member for external corner 15 and a construction method of forms according to the present invention will be described. A detailed description is not provided regarding components of this second embodiment whose construction is equivalent or corresponding to the above-described first embodiment, using the same signs.
The forms structure 11 of this second embodiment is characterized by, as shown in the above-described first embodiment, not holding oppositely disposed forms panels 2 by a tensional operation of the separator 6, but as shown in
Specifically, a vertical member 12 vertically erected abuts at an outer side face of each horizontal member 7 of the forms structure 11. The support member 16 is provided to press the vertical member 12 against the horizontal member 7. The support member 16 is designed to be slidably assembled and formed of two steel pipes having different diameters to be secured by a predetermined length in an adjustment range. Therefore, when one end of the support member 16 abuts on a vertical member 12, and the other end thereof abuts on a different structure to install the support member 16, the forms panel 2 can be externally pressed and supported via the horizontal member 7 and the wedge member 8.
Since the forms structure 11 of this second embodiment doesn't require a separator 6, the panel support member 13, the panel support member for internal corner 14 and the panel support member for external corner 15 require no such through holes 33,43,53 described above. As for a joint bar 9 additionally mounted, it is not necessary to cut the joint bar 9 in accordance with the shape of the cone cover 10 because it includes no cone member 62. Wherever the joint bar 9 is mounted, a removing hole of the cone member 62 cannot be produced.
According to the above second embodiment, the forms structure 11, only composed of one side surface, can be readily constructed in addition to the effect of the above-described first embodiment, resulting in an improved appearance of a concrete finished surface.
The forms structure 1,11, the panel support members 3,13, the panel support member for internal corner 4,14, the panel support member for external corner 5,15 and the construction method of forms according to the present invention are not particularly limited to the above embodiments, but may be altered accordingly.
For example, the structure using no form tie is described in each of the above embodiments, but this invention is not particularly limited thereto. For example, when there are no panel support members 3 oppositely disposed, forms panels 2 may be provided with a hole bored for a separator and fastened by a form tie after vertical battens abut on the outside of the horizontal member 7, as in conventional inventions.
