Hammer beam

Japanese: ハンマー・ビーム(英語表記)hammer beam
Hammer beam
Cantilever beams were used in the sophisticated rafter trusswork of late medieval England. They are short beams that protrude from the top of the wall into the room, with a rafter placed on top of a beam at the end. Usually, rafters are placed on top of the wall, but the hammer beam was invented to move these unsightly beams to a higher position, making the room appear higher and more open, but structurally it is weaker than normal rafters.

Japanese:
中世末期のイギリスの洗練された小屋組みで用いられた片持梁(かたもちばり)。壁の頂部から室内に突出して作られる短い梁で,その先端に立てた束(つか)の上に小屋梁(こやばり)をのせる。通常,小屋梁は壁の上にのせるが,目ざわりなこの梁をもっと高い位置に移すために考案されたのがハンマー・ビームで,これによって室内はより高くて開放的となるが,構造的には通常の小屋組みよりも弱い。【飯田 喜四郎】
