(25) FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a connected state of an angular beam connecting apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a disconnected state of the angular beam connecting apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a plan view schematically showing a cut part of the angular beam connecting apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 4A, 4B and 4C are cross-sectional views of a bonded state of an angular beam connecting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention in which the connecting apparatus is implemented in the groove of the angular beam. FIGS. 5A, 5B and 5C are enlarged cross-sectional views of an essential part of an angular beam connecting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

(26) As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5C, a connecting apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: an upper member 110, a lower member 120, a plurality of pressure units 130, and a pair of pressure rods 140.

(27) The upper member 110 is formed of a pair of upper members 110 but may be formed as one upper member 110. The upper member 110 may be formed of a hexahedron having a thin and long shape. The hexahedron of the upper member 110 forms a cross-sectional shape of widening upward and narrowing downward (longer upper and shorter lower trapezoid) on the basis of two shorter surfaces of four vertical surfaces (thickness), and first inclined surfaces 112 are formed on both sides of this cross section. At least one first pressing hole 111 penetrating the upper and lower portions of the hexahedron is formed on the upper surface of the hexahedron, and a spiral is formed on an inner surface of the first pressing hole 111.

(28) The lower member 120 is a hexahedron having a thin thickness in the same shape corresponding to longer than the combined length of the pair of upper members 110. The hexahedron of the lower member 120 forms a cross-sectional shape of narrowing upward and widening downward (shorter upper and longer lower trapezoid) on the basis of two shorter surfaces among four vertical surfaces and second inclined surfaces 122 corresponding to the first inclined surfaces 112 are formed on both sides of this cross section. At least one second pressing hole 112 penetrating the upper and lower portions corresponding to the first pressing hole 111 is formed on the upper surface of the hexahedron.

(29) The pressure units 130 are bolts or the like having a thread of a predetermined length to be screwed through the first and second pressing holes 111 and 121, and The pressure units 130 are placed to penetrate the first and second pressing holes 111 and 112 and tightened to be screwed into the first and second pressing holes 111 and 112 (screw fit) in the state in which the upper and lower members 110 and 120 correspond to each other, such that a space “a” between the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 of the upper and lower members 110 and 120 is narrowed.

(30) The pressure rod 140 is provided between the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 on both sides of the upper and lower members 110 and 120 to face each other so that the pressure rod 140 is gradually opened from the inside to the outside and is placed in the space “a” formed between the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 at the time of assembly. When the pressure unit 130 is gradually pressed while being screw-fitted with the first and second pressure holes 111 and 121 in a state in which the upper and lower members 110 and 120 correspond to each other, The pressure rod 140 positioned between the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 of the upper and lower members 110 and 120 is pushed out from the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 that are in contact with each other up and down, and is in close contact with and connected with the inner wall surface 52 of the groove 51 of the angular beam 50.

(31) Preferably, the spiral of the pressure unit 130 is carried out in a direction in which the upper and lower members 110 and 120 closely contact each other in a spiral direction of the first and second pressing holes 111 and 121. Although the lower spiral of the pressure unit 130 penetrates the first pressing hole 111 as it is, the second pressing hole 121 may be formed such that the lower spiral of the pressure unit 130 may be coupled to the second pressing hole 121 in a screw fit manner to raise the lower member 120. The screw fitting coupling structure of the pressure unit 130 and the first and second pressing holes 111 and 121 may use a known screw fitting structure using a spiral so that the upper and lower members 110 and 120 are closely contact with each other in a state where the upper and lower members 110 and 120 are laminated at a predetermined interval. The screw fitting structure of the pressure unit 130 and the pressing holes 111 and 121 may employ a number of known joining structures.

(32) The angular beam connecting apparatus using the connecting apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is implemented to make the ends of the angular beams 50 corresponding to each other correspond to each other without gaps, and to have the connecting apparatus 100 interposed therebetween.

(33) The whole implementation of the connection member 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be performed by being assembled in the longitudinal direction in the grooves 51 of the angular beams 50 from above as shown in FIG. 3.

(34) The angular beam connecting apparatus for connecting the angular beams 50 to which the connecting apparatus 100 is applied is implemented as shown in FIGS. 4A, 4B and 4C, and can be fixed in close contact with the inner side walls 52 of both sides of the groove 51 through FIGS. 5A, 5B and 5C.

(35) That is, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 5A, the lower member 120 is placed with the second inclined surface 122 facing up, the pressure rod 140 of the circular cross section is placed on the second inclined surface 122, and the first inclined surfaces 112 of the pair of upper members 110 are disposed on the second inclined surface 122 so as to cover the second inclined surface 122 (a space “a” of a predetermined interval is formed between the upper and lower members 110 and 120).

(36) Thereafter, the gaps between the upper and lower members 110 and 120 are gradually narrowed and the upper and lower members 110 and 120 are in close contact with each other by being screwed together while the pressure unit 130 is inserted into the first pressing hole 111 and the second pressing hole 121. At the same time, the pressure rods 140 located between the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 are pushed outward and supported to be in close contact with the inner walls 52 of the groove 51. As the inner walls 52 of the angular beam 50 are supported by the close contact of both sides of the pressure rod 140, the two angular beams 50 corresponding to the longitudinal ends thereof accomplish a connection state. The connecting apparatus enables providing of an extending apparatus for extending the angular beams 50 such as linear angle members, profiles, etc. that are applied to all industries, and the length of the entire structure formed by the angular beams can be extended without welding. The disadvantages of the conventional connection method such as a connecting method by welding, a connecting method of forming a protruding jaw on both sides of the upper portion of the groove, and hooking and fixing as a hook structure inserted into the groove, and the like can be solved.

(37) Meanwhile, although the pressure rod 140 of the connecting apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention applied to the accompanying drawings FIGS. 4A and 5A is a pressure rod 140 of a circular cross section, the trapezoidal cross section of the wider surface of the outer side can be formed as the pressure rod 140, as shown in FIGS. 4B and 5B, and thus adhesive force can be heightened. Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 4C and 5C, the rhombic pressurizing rod 140 may be applied to fix the inner wall 52 of the groove 51 to be in close contact with a pointed surface. In addition, a suitable cross-sectional shape of all the pressure rods 140 in close contact with the inner wall 52 may be possible. That is, one side of the deformed circular cross section may be implemented by sharply forming each side, and may be fixed by using one side of a pentagonal form. All the pressure rods 140 may form contact surfaces that slip on the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122, and any one surface of the slip surface may form a needle bar that is in close contact with the inner wall 52 of the groove 51.

(43) The pressure rod 140 is provided between the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 on both sides of the upper and lower members 110 and 120 to face each other so that the pressure rod 140 is gradually opened from the inside to the outside and is placed in the space “a” formed between the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 at the time of assembly. When the pressure unit 130 is gradually pressed while being screw-fitted with the first and second pressure holes 111 and 121 in a state in which the upper and lower members 110 and 120 correspond to each other, The pressure rod 140 positioned between the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 of the upper and lower members 110 and 120 is pushed out from the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 that are in contact with each other up and down, and is in close contact with and connected with the inner wall surface 52 of the groove 51 of the angular beam 50.

(44) Preferably, the spiral of the pressure unit 130 is carried out in a direction in which the upper and lower members 110 and 120 closely contact each other in a spiral direction of the first and second pressing holes 111 and 121. Although the lower spiral of the pressure unit 130 penetrates the first pressing hole 111 as it is, the second pressing hole 121 may be formed such that the lower spiral of the pressure unit 130 may be coupled to the second pressing hole 121 in a screw fit manner to raise the lower member 120. The screw fitting coupling structure of the pressure unit 130 and the first and second pressing holes 111 and 121 may use a known screw fitting structure using a spiral so that the upper and lower members 110 and 120 are closely contact with each other in a state where the upper and lower members 110 and 120 are laminated at a predetermined interval.

The disadvantages of the conventional connection method such as a connecting method by welding, a connecting method of forming a protruding jaw on both sides of the upper portion of the groove, and hooking and fixing as a hook structure inserted into the groove, and the like can be solved.

(62) Meanwhile, although the pressure rod 140 of the connecting apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention applied to the accompanying drawings FIG. 11A is a pressure rod 140 of a circular cross section, the trapezoidal cross section of the wider surface of the outer side can be formed as the pressure rod 140, as shown in FIG. 11B, and thus adhesive force can be heightened. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 11C, the rhombic pressurizing rod 140 may be applied to fix the inner wall 52 of the groove 51 to be in close contact with a pointed surface.

(63) In addition, a suitable cross-sectional shape of all the pressure rods 140 in close contact with the inner wall 52 may be possible. That is, one side of the deformed circular cross section may be implemented by sharply forming each side, and may be fixed by using one side of a pentagonal form. All the pressure rods 140 may form contact surfaces that slip on the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122, and any one surface of the slip surface may form a needle bar that is in close contact with the inner wall 52 of the groove 51.

EXAMPLE 4

(64) FIG. 12 is a perspective view of a connected state of an angular beam connecting apparatus according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 13 is a perspective view of a disconnected state of the angular beam connecting apparatus according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 14A, 14B and 14C are cross-sectional views of a connected state of a rail-like angular beam connecting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention in which the connecting apparatus is implemented in the groove of the rail-like angular beam.

(65) As illustrated in FIGS. 12 to 14C, a connecting apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a pair of upper members 110, a lower member 120, a plurality of pressure units 130, and a pair of pressure rods 140.

(66) The upper member 110 is formed of a pair of upper members 110 but may be formed as one upper member 110. The upper member 110 may be formed of a hexahedron having a thin and long shape. The hexahedron of the upper member 110 forms a cross-sectional shape of widening upward and narrowing downward (longer upper and shorter lower trapezoid) on the basis of two shorter surfaces of four vertical surfaces (thickness), and first inclined surfaces (sloped surfaces) 112 are formed on both sides of this cross section. At least one first pressing hole 111 penetrating the upper and lower portions of the hexahedron is formed on the upper surface of the hexahedron, and a spiral is formed on an inner surface of the first pressing hole 111.

(67) The lower member 120 is a hexahedron having a thin thickness in the same shape corresponding to equal to or longer than the combined length of the pair of upper members 110. The hexahedron of the lower member 120 forms a cross-sectional shape of narrowing upward and widening downward (shorter upper and longer lower trapezoid) on the basis of two shorter surfaces among four vertical surfaces and second inclined surfaces 122 corresponding to the first inclined surfaces 112 are formed on both sides of this cross section. At least one second pressing hole 112 penetrating the upper and lower portions corresponding to the first pressing hole 111 is formed on the upper surface of the hexahedron.

(68) The pressure units 130 are bolts or the like having a thread of a predetermined length to be screwed through the first and second pressing holes 111 and 121, and The pressure units 130 are placed to penetrate the first and second pressing holes 111 and 112 and tightened to be screwed into the first and second pressing holes 111 and 112 (screw fit) in the state in which the upper and lower members 110 and 120 correspond to each other, such that a space “a” between the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 of the upper and lower members 110 and 120 is narrowed.

(69) The pressure rod 140 is provided between the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 on both sides of the upper and lower members 110 and 120 to face each other so that the pressure rod 140 is gradually opened from the inside to the outside and is placed in the space “a” formed between the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 at the time of assembly. When the pressure unit 130 is gradually pressed while being screw-fitted with the first and second pressure holes 111 and 121 in a state in which the upper and lower members 110 and 120 correspond to each other, The pressure rod 140 positioned between the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 of the upper and lower members 110 and 120 is pushed out from the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 that are in contact with each other up and down, and is in close contact with and connected with the inner wall surface 52 of the groove 51 of the angular beam 50.

(70) Preferably, the spiral of the pressure unit 130 is carried out in a direction in which the upper and lower members 110 and 120 closely contact each other in a spiral direction of the first and second pressing holes 111 and 121. Although the lower spiral of the pressure unit 130 penetrates the first pressing hole 111 as it is, the second pressing hole 121 may be formed such that the lower spiral of the pressure unit 130 may be coupled to the second pressing hole 121 in a screw fit manner to raise the lower member 120. The screw fitting coupling structure of the pressure unit 130 and the first and second pressing holes 111 and 121 may use a known screw fitting structure using a spiral so that the upper and lower members 110 and 120 are closely contact with each other in a state where the upper and lower members 110 and 120 are laminated at a predetermined interval. The screw fitting structure of the pressure unit 130 and the pressing holes 111 and 121 may employ a number of known joining structures.

(71) The angular beam connecting apparatus using the connecting apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is implemented to make the ends of the two rail-like angular beams 50 corresponding to each other correspond to face each other without gaps, and to have the connecting apparatus 100 interposed therebetween.

(72) The whole implementation of the connection member 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be performed by being assembled in the longitudinal direction in the grooves 51 of the rail-like angular beams 50 from above as shown in FIG. 13.

(73) The angular beam connecting apparatus for connecting the rail-like angular beams 50 to which the connecting apparatus 100 is applied is implemented as shown in FIGS. 14A, 14B and 14C, and can be fixed in close contact with the inner side walls 52 of both sides of the groove 51 through FIGS. 14A, 14B and 14C.

(74) That is, as shown in FIG. 14A, the lower member 120 is placed with the second inclined surface 122 facing up, the pressure rod 140 of the circular cross section is placed on the second inclined surface 122, and the first inclined surfaces 112 of the pair of upper members 110 are disposed on the second inclined surface 122 so as to cover the second inclined surface 122 (a space “a” of a predetermined interval is formed between the upper and lower members 110 and 120).

(75) Thereafter, the gaps between the upper and lower members 110 and 120 are gradually narrowed and the upper and lower members 110 and 120 are in close contact with each other by being screwed together while the pressure unit 130 is inserted into the first pressing hole 111 and the second pressing hole 121. At the same time, the pressure rods 140 located between the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 are pushed outward and supported to be in close contact with the inner walls 52 of the groove 51. As the inner walls 52 of the angular beam 50 are supported by the close contact of both sides of the pressure rod 140, the two angular beams 50 corresponding to the longitudinal ends thereof accomplish a connection state. The connecting apparatus enables providing of an extending apparatus for extending the angular beams 50 such as linear angle members, profiles, etc. that are applied to all industries, and the length of the entire structure formed by the angular beams can be extended without welding. The disadvantages of the conventional connection method such as a connecting method by welding, a connecting method of forming a protruding jaw on both sides of the upper portion of the groove, and hooking and fixing as a hook structure inserted into the groove, and the like can be solved.

(76) Meanwhile, although the pressure rod 140 of the connecting apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention applied to the accompanying drawings FIG. 14A is a pressure rod 140 of a circular cross section, the trapezoidal cross section of the wider surface of the outer side can be formed as the pressure rod 140, as shown in FIG. 14B, and thus adhesive force can be heightened. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 14C, the rhombic pressurizing rod 140 may be applied to fix the inner wall 52 of the groove 51 to be in close contact with a pointed surface.

(77) In addition, a suitable cross-sectional shape of all the pressure rods 140 in close contact with the inner wall 52 may be possible. That is, one side of the deformed circular cross section may be implemented by sharply forming each side, and may be fixed by using one side of a pentagonal form. All the pressure rods 140 may form contact surfaces that slip on the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122, and any one surface of the slip surface may form a needle bar that is in close contact with the inner wall 52 of the groove 51.

EXAMPLE 5

(78) FIG. 15 is a perspective view of a disconnected state of the angular beam connecting apparatus according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view of a connected state of a rail-like angular beam connecting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention in which the connecting apparatus is implemented in the groove of the rail-like angular beam.

(79) As illustrated in FIGS. 15 and 16, a connecting apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a pair of upper members 110, a lower member 120, a plurality of pressure units 130, and a pair of pressure rods 140.

(80) The upper member 110 is formed of a pair of upper members 110 but may be implemented as one upper member 110. The upper member 110 may be formed of a hexahedron having a thin and long shape. The hexahedron of the upper member 110 forms a cross-sectional shape of widening upward and narrowing downward (longer upper and shorter lower trapezoid) on the basis of one surface of four vertical surfaces (thickness) having the same length, and first inclined surfaces 112 are formed on both sides of this cross section. At least one first pressing hole 111 penetrating the upper and lower portions of the hexahedron is formed on the upper surface of the hexahedron, and a spiral is formed on an inner surface of the first pressing hole 111.

(81) The lower member 120 is a hexahedron of the same shape corresponding to the pair of the upper members 110 to be longer than or equal to the combined length of the pair of the upper members 110. The hexahedron of the lower member 120 forms a cross-sectional shape of narrowing upward and widening downward (shorter upper and longer lower trapezoid) on the basis of two shorter surfaces among four vertical surfaces and second inclined surfaces 122 corresponding to the first inclined surfaces 112 are formed on both sides of this cross section. At least one second pressing hole 112 penetrating the upper and lower portions corresponding to the first pressing hole 111 is formed on the upper surface of the hexahedron.

(82) The pressure units 130 are bolts or the like having a thread of a predetermined length to be screwed through the first and second pressing holes 111 and 121, and The pressure units 130 are placed to penetrate the first and second pressing holes 111 and 112 and tightened to be screwed into the first and second pressing holes 111 and 112 (screw fit) in the state in which the upper and lower members 110 and 120 correspond to each other, such that a space “a” between the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 of the upper and lower members 110 and 120 is narrowed.

(83) The pressure rod 140 is provided between the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 on both sides of the upper and lower members 110 and 120 to face each other so that the pressure rod 140 is gradually opened from the inside to the outside and is placed in the space “a” formed between the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122. When the pressure unit 130 is gradually pressed while being screw-fitted with the first and second pressure holes 111 and 121 in a state in which the upper and lower members 110 and 120 correspond to each other, The pressure rod 140 positioned between the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 of the upper and lower members 110 and 120 is pushed out from and by the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 that are in contact with each other up and down, and is in close contact with and connected with the inner wall surface 52 of the groove 51 of the angular beam 50.

(84) Preferably, the spiral of the pressure unit 130 is carried out in a direction in which the upper and lower members 110 and 120 closely contact each other in a spiral direction of the first and second pressing holes 111 and 121. Although the lower spiral of the pressure unit 130 penetrates the first pressing hole 111 as it is, the second pressing hole 121 may be formed such that the lower spiral of the pressure unit 130 may be coupled to the second pressing hole 121 in a screw fit manner to raise the lower member 120. The screw fitting coupling structure of the pressure unit 130 and the first and second pressing holes 111 and 121 may use a known screw fitting structure using a spiral so that the upper and lower members 110 and 120 are closely contact with each other in a state where the upper and lower members 110 and 120 are laminated at a predetermined interval. The screw fitting structure of the pressure unit 130 and the pressing holes 111 and 121 may employ a number of known joining structures.

(85) The angular beam connecting apparatus for connecting the angular beams 50 to which the connecting apparatus 100 is applied may be implemented to be in close contact with both inner walls 52 of the groove 51 as shown in FIG. 16. In other words, as shown in the drawings, the angular beam connecting apparatus using the connecting apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is implemented to make the ends of the angular beams 50 forming H-shaped cross section corresponding to each other correspond to face each other without gaps, and to sequentially arrange and insert the lower member 120, the pressure rods 140, and the upper members 110 of the connecting apparatus 100 to be interposed therebetween and to then be screw-fitted and fixed into the pressing holes 111 and 121 with the pressure units 130.

(86) That is, as shown in FIG. 16, the lower member 120 is placed with the second inclined surface 122 facing up, the pressure rod 140 of the circular cross section is placed on the second inclined surface 122, and the first inclined surfaces 112 of the pair of upper members 110 are disposed on the second inclined surface 122 so as to cover the second inclined surface 122 (a space “a” of a predetermined interval is formed between the upper and lower members 110 and 120).

(87) Thereafter, the gaps between the upper and lower members 110 and 120 are gradually narrowed and the upper and lower members 110 and 120 are in close contact with each other by being screwed together while the pressure unit 130 is inserted into the first pressing hole 111 and the second pressing hole 121. At the same time, the pressure rods 140 located between the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122 are pushed outward and supported to be in close contact with the inner walls 52 of the groove 51. As the inner walls 52 of the angular beam 50 are supported by the close contact of both sides of the pressure rod 140, the two angular beams 50 of H-shaped cross-section corresponding to the longitudinal ends thereof accomplish a connection state. The connecting apparatus enables providing of an extending apparatus for extending the angular beams 50 such as linear angle members, profiles, etc. that are applied to all industries, and the length of the entire structure formed by the angular beams can be extended without welding. The disadvantages of the conventional connection method such as a connecting method by welding, a connecting method of forming a protruding jaw on both sides of the upper portion of the groove, and hooking and fixing as a hook structure inserted into the groove, and the like can be simply solved.

(88) Meanwhile, although not shown in the drawings, the pressure rod 140 in the connecting apparatus according to the present invention can increase the adhesion by forming a trapezoidal cross section of the wider outer side as shown and described in the above-described examples. Alternatively, the inner wall 52 of the groove 51 may be pointedly formed as a needle bar portion by applying a rhombic pressure rod 140 and the needle bar angle surface of the pressure bar 140 may be sharply stuck and fixed. In addition, a suitable cross-sectional shape of all the pressure rods 140 in close contact with the inner wall 52 may be possible. That is, one side of the deformed circular cross section may be implemented by sharply forming each side, and may be fixed by using one side of a pentagonal form. All the pressure rods 140 may form contact surfaces that slip on the first and second inclined surfaces 112 and 122, and any one surface of the slip surface may form a needle bar that is in close contact with the inner wall 52 of the groove 51.

(89) Although embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the above features, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features.

(90) Therefore, the embodiments described above are to be understood in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and the scope of the present invention described in the above detailed description is represented by the following claims, and the meanings and the scope of the claims and all changes or modifications derived from equivalent concepts thereof should be construed as being included in the scope of the present invention.
