DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fence in which a plurality of fence panel bodies are connected, and more particularly to a fence that simplifies a connection operation of the fence panel bodies and has a good appearance.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a fence in which a fence panel body is formed by arranging a frame and a cross in a lattice shape, and a plurality of fence panel bodies are connected using a joint member or the like, and this is supported by a support or the like. Have been. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-238173 discloses a fence in which a fence panel body is formed by connecting a crosspiece and a vertical lattice so as to be rotatable with each other, and adjacent fence panel bodies are connected via a universal joint. When constructing a fence on a slope, the fence panel body can be deformed into a parallelogram according to the inclination angle of the slope.

However, in the above prior art,
Since the universal joint connecting the fence panel bodies was exposed to the outside, the appearance was deteriorated. Further, since only the ends of the crossbars are connected by the universal joint, the connection strength between adjacent fence panel bodies is insufficient, and the texture is reduced. In particular, in a so-called louver fence in which the edges of adjacent crosspieces are overlapped with each other to form no opening surface between adjacent crosspieces, the fence panel members withstand the wind pressure because they are easily affected by the wind pressure. It had to be tightly connected to get it.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to firmly connect adjacent fence panel bodies together,
An object of the present invention is to provide an aesthetically pleasing fence as a configuration in which a joint member connecting the fence panel bodies is not visible from the outside.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventors have made intensive studies in view of such circumstances, and as a result, arranged vertical stiles in parallel on both sides of the fence panel body, and A joint member is connected via a joint member, an engaging groove portion is formed on the outer side surface portion of the vertical stile in the longitudinal direction, and an engaging protrusion engaging with the engaging groove portion is formed on both side edges of the joint member. Then, the joint member is inserted into the joint member insertion portion formed by abutting the vertical frame of the adjacent fence panel body, and the engaging protrusion of the joint member is engaged with the engaging groove of the vertical frame in the longitudinal direction, The intended purpose was achieved by connecting adjacent fence panels.

[0006] Further, a horizontal rail is disposed between the vertical rails of the fence panel body, and a horizontal rail mounting recess is formed in the inner side surface of the vertical rail. The crosspieces are rotatably connected, thereby facilitating construction on a slope.

[0007]

According to the present invention, a joint member is inserted into a joint member insertion portion formed by abutting vertical stiles of adjacent fence panel bodies, and an engaging groove formed in the vertical stile and an engaging protrusion of the joint member. Is engaged in the longitudinal direction, and the vertical stiles of the adjacent fence panel bodies are connected to each other through the joint member, so that the joint member can be viewed without being seen from the outside and the appearance can be improved. The vertical frames of the fence panel body to be connected can be firmly connected in a wide range in the longitudinal direction, and the connection work of the fence panel body can be easily performed simply by inserting the joint member into the joint member insertion portion. And the construction work on site can be simplified. Also,
The fence panel body connects the vertical frame and the horizontal frame so that they can rotate freely, so when constructing on sloping ground, deform the fence panel body into a parallelogram to construct at an arbitrary inclination angle Can be.
