Abstract: Provided is an architectural bracket that has an improved strength, and is suitable for realizing a high degree of freedom in terms of the arrangement relationship with a fixation object in construction, as well as a building wall structure and a plank member construction method that use the architectural bracket. An architectural bracket X1 includes a first fixing portion 10 that includes a surface 11 for coming into contact with a building frame, and a second fixing portion 20 that extends from an end of the first fixing portion 10 to a side opposite to the surface 11, so as to intersects with the first fixing portion 10. The second fixing portion 20 includes a base portion 21 that includes a surface 21A, a rib portion 22, a first side-wall portion 23, and a second side-wall portion 24. The rib portion 22 protrudes from the base portion 21, and includes, at a protruding end thereof, a surface 22A.

Abstract: An exterior insulation structure includes a first board member, first supporting members, a first thermal insulator, second supporting members disposed on the exterior side of the first supporting members, a second thermal insulator disposed on the exterior side of the first thermal insulator and between the second supporting members, securing members fixed to the exterior side of the second supporting members, and exterior wall members attached to the securing members. The adjacent exterior wall members are joined together without leaving a gap therebetween. Each securing member is long enough, in the second direction, to be fixable to at least two second supporting members and shorter, in the second direction, than each exterior wall member. A first gap is left between the securing members adjacent in the second direction. At least part of each second supporting member is made of a material having a thermal conductivity lower than that of steel.

Abstract: An exterior structure includes a front-side lateral joint portion and a back-side lateral joint portion disposed at horizontal edge portions of each facade board, a front-side vertical joint portion and a back-side vertical joint portion disposed at a lower edge portion and an upper edge portion of each facade board, a lateral joint formed between horizontally adjacent facade boards as a result of superposing the front-side lateral joint portion of one facade board and the back-side lateral joint portion of the other facade board one on the other, and a vertical joint formed between vertically adjacent facade boards as a result of superposing the front-side vertical joint portion of one facade board and the back-side vertical joint portion of the other facade board one on the other. In at least four horizontally and vertically adjacent facade boards, the lateral joints form a joint area substantially linearly continuous in the vertical direction.

Abstract: A connection method for interconnecting end portions of a thermoplastic resin long body in which conductive unstretchable members are embedded within the thermoplastic resin along a longitudinal direction, wherein the unstretchable members in each of specific sections in the both end portions of the thermoplastic resin long body are heated using an induction heating portion so that the thermoplastic resin coating the unstretchable members is removed by melting for the unstretchable members to be exposed, after which the both end portions are interconnected while they are held in a state where the unstretchable members being exposed in the respective end portions are butt-connected to each other.
