Patent ID: 6957519

Claim:
A construct for buildings comprising an elongated steel pipe member with a hollow interior and reinforcing elements provided in a hollow portion of the interior of the steel pipe member to cross the interior of the steel pipe member in a longitudinal direction, said steel pipe member and said reinforcing elements being welded and joined together at a plurality of joint holes piercingly formed on an outer peripheral portion of said steel pipe member, wherein said steel pipe member is formed with inserting holes for the reinforcing elements on the outer peripheral portion of the steel pipe member formed at mounting positions for said reinforcing elements to be of a width that meets a width dimension of the reinforcing elements, wherein these inserting holes are provided to be successive from the outer peripheral surface of said steel pipe member to said interior, wherein said reinforcing elements are inserted into said inserting holes from the outer peripheral surface of said steel pipe member towards a direction facing the interior of said steel pipe member in a direction that is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the steel pipe member, wherein said reinforcing elements are formed to be plate-like, to have side surfaces that are smaller than cross sections crossing the hollow portion in the interior of said steel pipe member, and to have an outer peripheral surface that is substantially orthogonal to the side surfaces and that corresponds to an inner wall surface of the steel pipe member, wherein an engaging element for engaging with suspending means is provided on one side portion of said peripheral surface, wherein the engaging elements of said reinforcing elements are provided to be parallel to the longitudinal direction of the outer peripheral surface of the reinforcing elements, wherein engaging members for engaging engaging elements of the suspending means are respectively provided on both side portions in the longitudinal direction, wherein the engaging members comprise sloped surfaces that arise from above the outer peripheral surface of said reinforcing element and that respectively become broader in both outer directions in the longitudinal direction of the outer peripheral surfaces of said reinforcing element, and wherein a shape that sections in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing element is formed on an upper portion of said engaging element to be triangular, arc-like or quadrangular.
