Abstract
An outer wall structure of the invention includes an outer wall mounting member composed of a supporting plate and a plurality of securing members. The supporting plate includes a plate body and a positioning portion. With this outer wall structure, the plate body is fixed to a horizontal furring strip member and a frame member in an upside portion and a downside portion of a sash body of a window sash at a second distance away from an outer surface of the sash body. The securing members are fixed to the plate body at a third distance away from the outer surface of the sash body. In this outer wall structure, the position at the second distance is farther away from the outer face than the position at a distance from the outer surface of the sash body to a distal end portion of a flange of the sash body.

An outer wall mounting member mounting an exterior building material onto a building body having a flanged opening member fixed in the building body through a flange extending from an outer surface of the flanged opening member, the outer wall mounting member comprising:
- a supporting plate comprising a horizontally extended positioning portion capable of being directly contacted with the outer surface of the flanged opening member, a vertical plate body connected at a first vertical end thereof to the horizontally extended positioning portion and a supporting-plate-fixing-position located in the vertical plate body at a vertical distance from the horizontally extended positioning portion that is greater than the width of the flange from the outer surface of the flanged opening member so that an optional supporting-plate-fitting located at the supporting-plate-fixing-position does not contact the flange of the flanged opening member;
- and
- an exterior-facing securing member having a securing portion to engage the exterior building material, the securing member configured to be fixed to the vertical plate body of the supporting plate, wherein
- the flanged opening member is a flanged opening sash member or a flanged door member.
An outer wall structure comprising:
- a building body;
- a flanged opening member having a flange extending from an outer surface of the flanged opening member, the flanged opening member is fixed in the building body through the flange, wherein the flanged opening member is a flanged opening sash member or a flanged door member;
- an exterior building material;
- an outer wall mounting member for mounting the exterior building material onto the building body, wherein
- the outer wall mounting member comprises:
- a supporting plate comprising a horizontally extended positioning portion capable of being directly contacted with the outer surface of the flanged opening member, a vertical plate body connected at a first vertical end thereof to the horizontally extended positioning portion, and a supporting-plate-fixing-position located in the vertical plate body at a vertical distance from the horizontally extended positioning portion that is greater than the width of the flange from the outer surface of the flanged opening member so that a supporting-plate-fitting located at the supporting-plate-fixing-position does not contact the flange of the flanged opening member;
- and
- an exterior-facing securing member having a securing portion to engage the exterior building material, the securing member configured to be fixed to the vertical plate body of the supporting plate, and
- the outer wall mounting member is disposed so that i) the horizontally extended positioning portion is contacted with the outer surface of the flanged opening member, ii) the vertical plate body is fixed to the building body by the supporting-plate-fitting at the supporting-plate-fixing-position, iii) the exterior-facing securing member is fixed to the vertical plate body of the supporting plate, and iv) the exterior building material is engaged to the securing portion of the securing member such that the exterior building material is fixed on the building body.
