Abstract

Disclosed are an edge member for membrane elements that can effectively improve adhesion with exterior finishing materials, and a membrane element that is equipped with the same. A plurality of types of undulations ( 134, 135 ) of different shapes are formed on the circumference of an extension ( 132 ) that extends from the main body ( 131 ) of an anti-telescoping member (edge member for membrane element) ( 13 ) toward a membrane roll body ( 11 ), and an exterior finishing material is attached to extend across the circumference of the extension ( 132 ) and the circumference of the membrane roll body. The adhesion between the anti-telescoping member ( 13 ) and the exterior finishing material can thus be effectively improved, since the exterior finishing material can be attached to the circumference of the extension ( 132 ) with the plurality of types of undulations ( 134, 135 ) in contact with the exterior finishing material.

Claims (39)

1. An edge member for membrane elements that is disposed at an end in an axial line direction of a membrane roll body formed by winding a membrane member around and serves to prevent the membrane member from being shifted along the axial line direction, comprising:

a main body that faces an end surface of the membrane roll body; and

an extension that extends from the main body toward the membrane roll body along the axial line direction, wherein

a plurality of types of undulations having different shapes from each other are formed on an outer circumference of the extension, wherein the plurality of types of undulations include a first undulation and a second undulation, and wherein the second undulation is formed on the first undulation, and

an exterior finishing material is attached to extend across the outer circumference of the extension and an outer circumference of the membrane roll body.

2. The edge member for membrane elements according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of types of undulations are different from each other in at least one of a height difference and a width along the axial line direction.

3. The edge member for membrane elements according to claim 1 , wherein the first undulation has a constant width along the axial line direction and the second undulation has a width smaller than the constant width along the axial line direction.

4. The edge member for membrane elements according to claim 1 , wherein the first undulation has a constant width along the axial line direction and the second undulation is made of a predetermined pattern that is not formed to have a constant width along the axial line direction.

5. The edge member for membrane elements according to claim 3 , wherein a height difference of the first undulation is larger than a height difference of the second undulation.

6. The edge member for membrane elements according to claim 4 , wherein a height difference of the first undulation is larger than a height difference of the second undulation.

7. The edge member for membrane elements according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the extension along the axial line direction is smaller than or equal to 15 times a height difference of the undulation having a largest height difference among the plurality of types of undulations.

8. A membrane element comprising:

an edge member for membrane elements according to claim 1 ;

a membrane roll body formed by winding a membrane member around, in which the edge member for membrane elements is disposed at an end in an axial line direction thereof; and

an exterior finishing material attached to extend across an outer circumference of the extension and an outer circumference of the membrane roll body.

9. A membrane element comprising:

an edge member for membrane elements according to claim 2 ;

a membrane roll body formed by winding a membrane member around, in which the edge member for membrane elements is disposed at an end in an axial line direction thereof; and

an exterior finishing material attached to extend across an outer circumference of the extension and an outer circumference of the membrane roll body.

10. A membrane element comprising:

an edge member for membrane elements according to claim 3 ;

a membrane roll body formed by winding a membrane member around, in which the edge member for membrane elements is disposed at an end in an axial line direction thereof; and

an exterior finishing material attached to extend across an outer circumference of the extension and an outer circumference of the membrane roll body.

11. A membrane element comprising:

an edge member for membrane elements according to claim 4 ;

a membrane roll body formed by winding a membrane member around, in which the edge member for membrane elements is disposed at an end in an axial line direction thereof; and

an exterior finishing material attached to extend across an outer circumference of the extension and an outer circumference of the membrane roll body.

12. A membrane element comprising:

an edge member for membrane elements according to claim 5 ;

a membrane roll body formed by winding a membrane member around, in which the edge member for membrane elements is disposed at an end in an axial line direction thereof; and

an exterior finishing material attached to extend across an outer circumference of the extension and an outer circumference of the membrane roll body.

13. A membrane element comprising:

an edge member for membrane elements according to claim 6 ;

a membrane roll body formed by winding a membrane member around, in which the edge member for membrane elements is disposed at an end in an axial line direction thereof; and

an exterior finishing material attached to extend across an outer circumference of the extension and an outer circumference of the membrane roll body.

14. A membrane element comprising:

an edge member for membrane elements according to claim 7 ;

a membrane roll body formed by winding a membrane member around, in which the edge member for membrane elements is disposed at an end in an axial line direction thereof; and

an exterior finishing material attached to extend across an outer circumference of the extension and an outer circumference of the membrane roll body.
