Abstract

A fastening member is formed out of one steel sheet to comprise: a base plate portion constituting amount portion to be fixed to a building frame; a right support portion, a left support portion, a central support portion and a lower support portion that fix stably the exterior wall boards; a central horizontal raised portion and a downwardly bent portion that lock shiplap portions of an exterior wall board disposed below the fastening member; bearing portions and upper-board locking portions that lock the shiplap portions of exterior wall boards that are disposed above the fastening member; upwardly bent portions; and front plate portions. A waterproof material made of bentonite is provided at the left and right ends of the central horizontal raised portion, the top surfaces of the upwardly bent portions and the front surfaces of the front plate portions.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A fastening member for an exterior wall board, comprising:

       2 . The fastening member according to  claim 1 , wherein the waterproof material is made of bentonite and an elastic material. 
   
   
       3 . The fastening member according to  claim 1 , wherein the downwardly bent portion is coated in a blackish color or has a blackish tape adhered thereto. 
   
   
       4 . The fastening member according to  claim 2 , wherein the downwardly bent portion is coated in a blackish color or has a blackish tape adhered thereto. 
   
   
       5 . The fastening member according to  claim 1 , wherein the central horizontal raised portion is coated in a blackish color or has a blackish tape adhered thereto. 
   
   
       6 . The fastening member according to  claim 2 , wherein the central horizontal raised portion is coated in a blackish color or has a blackish tape adhered thereto. 
   
   
       7 . The fastening member according to  claim 3 , wherein the central horizontal raised portion is coated in a blackish color or has a blackish tape adhered thereto. 
   
   
       8 . The fastening member according to  claim 4 , wherein the central horizontal raised portion is coated in a blackish color or has a blackish tape adhered thereto. 
   
   
       9 . An external wall construction structure, comprising:
 a plurality of fastening members according to  claim 1  mounted in multiple rows such that a base plate portion abuts a mounting surface of a building frame;   an exterior wall board having shiplap portions at least at an upper edge and a lower edge, and fastened in such a manner that the back surface thereof abuts the left support portion, right support portion, central support portion and lower support portion of the fastening member;   the shiplap portions of the upper edges of the exterior wall board are locked on the central horizontal raised portion and the downwardly bent portion of the fastening member at an upper position;   the shiplap portions of the lower edge of the exterior wall board are locked on the bearing portions and the upper-board locking portions of the fastening member at a lower position; and   the shiplap portions of the lower edge of the exterior wall boards abut the waterproof material.   
   
   
       10 . An external wall construction structure, comprising:
 a plurality of fastening members according to  claim 2  mounted in multiple rows such that a base plate portion abuts a mounting surface of a building frame;   an exterior wall board having shiplap portions at least at an upper edge and a lower edge, and fastened in such a manner that the back surface thereof abuts the left support portion, right support portion, central support portion and lower support portion of the fastening member;   the shiplap portions of the upper edges of the exterior wall board are locked on the central horizontal raised portion and the downwardly bent portion of the fastening member at an upper position;   the shiplap portions of the lower edge of the exterior wall board are locked on the bearing portions and the upper-board locking portions of the fastening member at a lower position; and   the shiplap portions of the lower edge of the exterior wall boards abut the waterproof material.   
   
   
       11 . An external wall construction structure, comprising:
