Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a retaining wall block for locking ivy and a panel for locking ivy which has a function of preventing detachment and falling off of ivy spread on a wall surface.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a retaining wall block, ivy is sometimes spread on the wall surface of the retaining wall block in order to improve the scenery and prevent shining due to greening of the concrete surface. This ivy is a deciduous vine of the grape family. A tendril appears on the opposite side of the leaf, and the tendril branches and spreads, and is adsorbed to the wall surface by a suction cup at the tip.

[0003] As described above, in the ivy, the tip of the tendril is adsorbed to the wall surface by the suction cup, and the stem portion without the suction cup is along the wall surface, but is not adsorbed to the wall surface. Therefore, when receiving strong winds or when suction by suction cups is not sufficient, especially on new concrete surfaces,
Since the surface is smooth, there is a problem that the suction by the suction cup becomes insufficient, the suction is easily peeled off, the stems hang down, and the ivy comes off or falls off.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and even if the suction by the suction cup is insufficient and the stem is likely to come off, the stem is removed. An object of the present invention is to provide a retaining wall block for locking ivy and a panel for locking ivy which can be locked to prevent falling off and drooping.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a retaining wall block for locking ivy according to the present invention (Claim 1).
Has a configuration in which a large number of projections for projecting the ivy spreading on the wall surface are provided on the wall surface.

Further, the ivy locking panel of the present invention (claim 2) is a ivy locking panel attached to a wall surface of a retaining wall block, and is extended on the panel wall surface. A large number of protrusions for locking ivy were projected,

In the present invention, the suction by the suction cup is insufficient.
When the stem is likely to come off, the stem protrudes from the wall surface (or panel wall surface) and is caught and locked. This allows
It is possible to prevent ivy from falling off or hanging from the wall.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a retaining wall block for ivy locking according to the first embodiment. The retaining wall block 1 for locking ivy is an L-shaped concrete block, and a plurality of projections 11 for locking the ivy 2 crawling on the wall 10 protrude from a wall 10 thereof. . In this case, the wall surface 10 is formed as a smooth surface, and the protrusion 11 is
It is formed in a stone shape by integral molding. In addition, this projection 11
Are formed so that the particle size is about 20 to 60 mm, the interval between the projections 11 is about 10 mm, and the arrangement is random.

Therefore, after the ivy retaining wall block 1 is constructed and the ivy 2 is planted on the ground below the wall 10, when the ivy 2 grows, it is hung so as to crawl on the wall 10. The whiskers protrude on the opposite side of the leaves, crawl on the wall surface 10 while branching, and adsorb to the wall surface 10 by the suction cup at the tip. Thus, ivy 2
The tip of the tendril is adsorbed to the wall surface 10 by the suction cup, and the stem portion without the suction cup is not adsorbed to the wall surface 10. Accordingly, if the suction by the suction cup is insufficient, the ivy 2 may come off or fall off, for example, the suction may come off or the stem may hang down. When the projections 11 are provided on the wall surface 10 against the detachment or falling off of the ivy 2, the stalks which are likely to come off are caught by the projections 11 and locked. Thereby, ivy 2
Can be prevented from dropping or hanging from the wall surface 10.

When the ivy 2 completely spreads on the wall 10, the projections 11 are hidden by the ivy, but it takes several years to completely spread the ivy.
The projections 11 are exposed on the wall surface 10 and appear on the exterior, and the projections 11 serve as design members, so that the appearance can be improved as compared with a simple smooth wall surface.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a retaining wall block for locking ivy according to a second embodiment. The retaining wall block 3 for locking ivy is a concrete block for stacking, and a plurality of projections 31 for locking the ivy crawling on the wall 30 protrude from a wall 30 thereof. In this case, the wall surface 30 is formed as a smooth surface, and the projection 31 is formed of a concrete mass formed separately from the wall surface 30,
It is adhered to the wall surface 30 with an adhesive (epoxy resin adhesive or the like). The arrangement of the projections 31 is arranged so as to draw multiple circular arcs, which takes into account the design properties until the ivy completely spreads on the wall surface 30.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a panel for locking ivy according to a third embodiment. This ivy locking panel 4
Is an L-type concrete block 5 as a retaining wall block
Panel wall 40
On the panel wall surface 40, a number of projections 41 are provided so as to lock the vines that have spread. In this case, the panel wall surface 40 is formed as a smooth surface, and the projection 41 is formed in a stone shape integrally with the panel wall surface 40. The arrangement of the projections 41 is arranged so as to draw a diagonal stripe shape, in consideration of the design property until the ivy completely spreads on the panel wall surface 40.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this. For example, the retaining wall block for ivy locking may be an L-shaped concrete block or a concrete block for stacking, as well as a brick block or a block for a slope. or,
As for the retaining wall block to which the panel ivy retaining panel is attached, in addition to the L-type concrete block, other than the concrete block for stacking, a sling block, a block for a slope, or the like may be used. Pinning, anchor bolting, bonding and the like can be used. Also, the size of the projection, the shape of the projection, the interval between the projections,
The arrangement of the projections and the like may be any as long as the ivy can be locked, and can be appropriately determined.

[0014]

As described above, in the retaining wall block for ivy locking (claim 1) and the ivy locking panel (claim 2) of the present invention, suction by suction cups is not possible. The projections are provided on the wall surface to prevent the ivy from coming off or falling off in a sufficient case, and the stems that are likely to come off are caught by these projections and locked. Thereby, it is possible to prevent ivy from falling off or hanging from the wall surface.

Until the ivy completely spreads on the wall surface, the projections are exposed on the wall surface and appear on the appearance, and since these projections are design members, they are more visible than the wall surface with a simple smooth surface. Appearance can be improved.
