Wooden member joint structure

摘要

A wooden member joint structure having high strength against load repeatedly applied in opposite directions, with improved work efficiency in joining the wooden member to a mating member. A screw member having spiral protrusion on its outer peripheral surface and an axial hollow hole is threaded axially into a wooden column. A distal end of joint bolt is threadedly engaged with bottom of the hollow hole. The joint bolt has an integrally formed flange, and the flange is threaded into the column together with the screw member with its contact surface firmly pressed against end face of the screw member. A joint device is clamped between a fastening nut threadably mounted on a proximal end of the joint bolt and the flange and coupled to the screw member via the joint bolt. The joint device is secured to a foundation by an anchor bolt protruding therefrom and a fastening nut.

1. A wooden member joint structure, comprising:
a screw member having a shaft portion and a spiral blade formed on an outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion, wherein a hollow hole is formed in the screw member and the hollow hole is extending axially from an end face of the shaft portion, the screw member being for fixedly threaded into an opening defined in a wooden member used as a column of a wooden building; a joint bolt inserted into the hollow hole of the screw member, the joint bolt having a proximal end threadedly joined with a female thread formed in the vicinity of the bottom of the hollow hole; and a joint device coupled to a distal end of the joint bolt, the joint device being secured to a mating member to which the wooden member is to be joined; wherein the wooden member joint structure is for joining the wooden member to the mating member via the screw member, the joint bolt and the joint device, the joint bolt has a flange, a proximal shaft portion is extending proximally from the flange, and a distal shaft portion is extending distally from the flange and coaxially with the proximal shaft portion; the flange is firmly pressed against an end face of the shaft portion of the screw member by threading the proximal shaft portion into the female thread through the hollow hole of the screw member so that the flange is provided in the opening defined in the wooden member; and a portion of the proximal shaft portion between a portion threaded into the female thread and the flange is separated from an inner peripheral surface of the hollow hole; the wooden member joint structure further comprising a nut threadedly mounted on the distal shaft portion; wherein the joint device and the joint bolt are coupled to each other with the joint device clamped between the nut and the flange, the portion of the proximal shaft portion separated from the inner peripheral surface of the hollow hole is a portion for absorbing energy of a force causing a plastic deformation when the force acts to separate the joint device from the screw member and the force allows the joint bolt to undergo the plastic deformation; a plurality of recesses are formed at a distal surface of the flange facing away from the screw member, the recesses being engageable with a tool for rotating the joint bolt about an axis thereof in either direction, and a depth of the recesses being smaller than a thickness of the flange, and the screw member is threaded into the column such that the distal surface of the flange is flush with an end face of the column by rotating the flange with the tool engaged with the recesses.
