Description

  The present invention relates to a fence body and a fence, and more specifically, a fence body including a frame body formed by framing upper, lower, left and right frame members, and a face member fixed to the frame body, and the fence body. And fences with pillars.

A fence is known which is provided along a site boundary line of a house and the like, partitions the inside and outside of the site, and blocks the line of sight from the outside of the site.
As such fences, there are those having various structures such as a lattice shape, a lattice shape, a net shape, etc., but a fence having a structure in which a panel material (face material) is fitted into a frame material has been proposed. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
The fence described in Patent Document 1 has a configuration in which a panel material is fitted into a groove-like fitting portion formed at an opposing position of upper and lower frame materials.

JP 2002-227460 A

However, in the fence described in Patent Document 1, when assembling the frame material and the panel material, if the upper, lower, left, and right frame materials are first framed, the panel material cannot be attached. There is a problem that workability related to assembling deteriorates because attachment must be performed at the same time.
In addition, it is possible that the frame material and the panel material will rattle due to wind or the like just by fitting the panel material into the frame material insertion portion. Therefore, a rubber U-shaped gasket or the like is attached to the insertion portion. Since it is necessary to take measures to prevent backlash, such as supporting the panel material via the letter-shaped gasket, the number of parts increases and the assemblability further deteriorates.
Furthermore, in the fence described in Patent Document 1, since the panel material is supported by the groove-shaped fitting portion provided in the frame material, the front surface of the panel material is located inward of the front direction of the frame material and the frame material is found. Since all the surfaces are visible, the frame material is conspicuous on the appearance of the fence, and there is a problem that it is difficult to improve the design.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a fence body excellent in assemblability and appearance design, and a fence.

  The fence body of the present invention is a fence body including a frame body formed by framing upper, lower, left and right frame members, and a face member fixed to the frame member, and the face member is the face member. A cover member that is fixed to one side surface of the frame body by a fixing means that penetrates the cover body, covers an exposed portion of the fixing means in front of the fixing means exposed from the face material, and is fixed to the frame body Is provided.

Here, as the face material, a metal panel such as aluminum or SUS, a resin panel such as acrylic or polycarbonate, a fiber reinforced plastic panel, a glass panel, or the like can be employed. Further, the face material may be formed from a light-transmitting material having a blinding effect, that is, a translucent material or a material having a hole (such as a punching metal).
As the fixing means, various fixing structures for fixing the face material in close contact with the frame material, such as fixing with a screw, fixing with a bolt-nut, and fixing with a press-fit pin, can be employed.

According to such a configuration, by fixing the face material to one side surface of the frame body, the face material can be fixed by the fixing means after the frame body is framed. Therefore, it is possible to improve the workability of the assembly work of the panel body.
In addition, the face material is not a structure in which the face material is fitted and fixed to the frame body, and the face material can be fixed without rattling by the fixing means, so that a support member such as a gasket becomes unnecessary, and the assembling property is further improved. Can do.
Furthermore, by setting one side surface of the frame body as a design surface facing the outside, it is possible to form an external appearance flat panel body in which a face material is attached along the design surface, and to improve the appearance design. At this time, since the front exposed portion of the fixing means is covered by the cover member, the fixing means is not exposed on the design surface side, and the design property can be maintained satisfactorily.

  At this time, in the fence body of the present invention, the face material is fixed to at least two opposing frame materials among the upper, lower, left and right frame materials of the frame body by the fixing means, and the cover member is the face material. Is formed in a substantially L-shaped cross section from a front surface portion covering the exposed portion of the fixing means and a prospective surface portion intersecting the front surface portion. It is preferable that the expected surface portion is fixed to the frame member.

  Here, as the at least two opposing frame members of the upper, lower, left and right frame members, two upper and lower frame members (horizontal frame) may be used, and two left and right frame members (vertical frame) may be used. A frame material may be used. When fixing the upper and lower edges of the face material to the upper and lower frame members, it is sufficient to attach cover members to at least the upper and lower frame members, and the cover material may be attached to the left and right frame members, or not attached. May be. In addition, when fixing the left and right edges of the face material to the two left and right frame members, it is sufficient to attach cover members to at least the left and right frame members, and the upper and lower frame members may be attached with cover materials, It does not have to be attached. Furthermore, when the four peripheral edges of the face material are fixed to all the upper, lower, left, and right frame members, cover members may be attached to all the upper, lower, left, and right frame members.

According to such a configuration, since the cover member has a length dimension that extends over substantially the entire length of the frame member, the cover member can cover not only the exposed portion of the fixing means but also the substantially entire edge of the face member. It is possible to further improve the appearance design.
Further, the cover member is formed in a substantially L-shaped cross section from the front surface portion and the prospective surface portion, and the prospective surface portion is fixed to the frame member, so that the cover member is positioned at a position along the outer peripheral edge of the frame body, that is, not exposed to the design surface. Can be fixed (for example, fixed with screws), and the fixing portion of the cover member can be made inconspicuous.

Furthermore, in the fence body of the present invention, the fixing means is preferably a screw.
According to such a configuration, the face material can be fixed easily, reliably, and inexpensively.

  On the other hand, the fence of the present invention is a fence including any one of the fence bodies and a pillar material that supports the fence body, and the upper and lower frame members constituting the fence body include the frame material. A groove-like engaged portion is formed along the longitudinal direction, and the fence body is fixed to the column member via an engaging member that engages with the engaged portion.
