Description

  The present invention relates to a gate post provided on the exterior of a general house.

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a so-called dry exterior-type gate pillar, which is different from a conventional gate pillar (also referred to as a wet gate pillar) made of mortar or the like, has been provided on the exterior of a general house. These can be manufactured in advance at a factory, etc., and the gate pillar can be erected by fixing the gate pillar on the foundation at the construction site. The mortar application and drying time required for the wet gate pillar is unnecessary, and the construction time Since it can be shortened, and it can be preliminarily shaped industrially in the factory in terms of design, many are used (for example, Patent Document 1).

  On the other hand, due to housing conditions in recent years, when building a house in a narrow area, the exterior part is also generally narrow, so a gate pillar incorporating equipment such as an interphone, lighting, and a mail box is often used for the gate pillar. Although these also have various shapes, a vertically long gate pillar is often adopted in order to give a clean impression.

And in the case of a gatepost with built-in lighting, it is often necessary to replace the light, but in the case of a gatepost with built-in equipment, the position of the lighting part is particularly high in the case of a vertically long gatepost. It was difficult to do so, such as the need to remove the glove at a high place and the care of the glove itself.

  The best mode of the present invention will be described with reference to the following embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 is a sectional view taken along the line AA ′ of the gate pillar, which is the main part of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view and a side view of the gate pillar, FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line BB ′ of the gate pillar, FIG. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC ′ of the same pillar, and FIG. 5 is an enlarged side view of the upper part showing the internal mechanism such as the illumination part of the gate pillar.

  In this embodiment, it is the gate pole 2 which has the illumination part 3 and the mail box 4 located under this illumination part 3 between the support | pillars 1 which oppose, Comprising: The illumination part 3 is provided in the upper end part of the gate pillar 2, and an illumination part 3 is provided with a lower opening opening / closing door 9, and a lighting fixture 32 provided with a fluorescent lamp 33 on the front side of the gate post 2 is provided in the lighting portion 3, and the lighting fixture 32 is provided on the inner side surface of the support column 1 on one side. It is set as the gate pillar 2 characterized by providing so that the manual insertion space 10 may be formed between the support | pillar 1 of the other side.

  Further, the lighting fixture 32 is fixed to the inner side surface of the column 1 via the lighting base 35 so that the front side of the gate column 2 of the lighting fixture 32 is separated from the inner side surface of the column 1 from the rear side of the gate column 2. The luminaire 32 is formed by providing a fluorescent lamp 33 and a glow sphere 34 on the luminaire main body 31. By tilting and mounting in this way, even if a lighting fixture 32 such as a glow bulb 34 on the side opposite to the fluorescent lamp 33 is selected, both can be easily replaced.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the manual insertion space 10 is necessary when the hand is actually inserted and the fluorescent lamp 33 is exchanged between the lighting fixture 32 and the post 1 on the other side where the lighting fixture 32 is not attached. Points to Even when the post box 4 protrudes behind the gate column 2 and gets in the way to the lighting unit 3 provided at a particularly high position, if the lighting fixture 32 is attached so as to have such a manual insertion space 10, it is easily fluorescent. The lamp 33 can be replaced. In particular, since the luminaire 32 is arranged so as to be inclined with respect to the column 1 as shown in the drawing, not only when replacing the gate post 2 on the manual insertion space 10 side, but also on the opposite side of the luminaire 32 mounting side. 2. Even from the rear, the hand can easily reach the fluorescent lamp 33 without much disturbing the bending of the arm.

  In addition, a vent 11 communicating with the interior of the illumination unit 3 is formed between the lower end of the lower opening / closing door 9 in the closed state and the mail box 4 provided immediately below the lower opening / closing door 9. 9 is formed with a vertically long hole (not shown) that engages with a rotation shaft (not shown) provided on the support column 1 on the lower side surface of the lower opening and closing door 9, and closes the lower opening and closing door 9. In this state, the pivot shaft is positioned at the lower portion of the longitudinal hole.

  When such a vent 11 is formed, the interior of the illumination unit 3 and the vent 11 are in communication with each other, so that the interior of the illumination unit 3 is left in a high humidity state, and an electrical appliance such as the illumination fixture 32 is insulated. In particular, in this embodiment, the lower opening / closing door 9 is further lowered by using, as the vent hole 11, a gap that can be fixed by shifting the lower opening / closing door 9 upward. Since it can also be opened later, the operation position of the door can be shifted downward for the user, and the vent 11 can be secured while being easily opened and closed.

  In FIG. 2 (b), the movement of the lower opening / closing door 9 once moved downward as described above in the closed state and then opened downward about the rotation axis is represented by an arrow. Then, it is placed on the upper end surface of the mailbox 4 as shown by the dotted line in the fully opened state. The downward movement distance in the closed state is such that the lower end of the lower opening / closing door 9 does not hit the post box 4 so that it does not rub against the upper end surface of the post box 4.

  The lower opening / closing door 9 is formed in a substantially U shape in which a flat plate is bent and a horizontal section is opened forward. The side surface is formed with a vertically long hole on the lower side, and a screw is opened as a pivot shaft of the opening / closing door 9 to engage with the support column 1 through the vertically long hole. A hole for use is formed and fixed to the column 1. When opening, the knurled screw 91 is removed and then opened and closed as described above.

  Of course, as described above, the door may be opened and closed without shifting downward, but if the door is opened and closed in a lowered position, the amount of rearward protrusion of the lower opening and closing door 9 is reduced. Even if there is an obstacle such as a wall behind, it can be opened and closed without hitting the obstacle, and the standing position of the gate pillar 2 can be made closer to the wall direction. Further, in the present embodiment, the lower opening / closing door 9 can be placed in a substantially horizontal state and placed on the upper end surface of the mail box 4, and it is not particularly necessary to separately provide a holding mechanism or the like, thus simplifying the configuration. can do.

  In addition, a drainage portion is formed between the support column 1 and the post box 4 in the vertical direction in a state where the support column 1 and the post box 4 are combined, and above the upper end surface of the post box 4 on the inner surface of the support column 1. In addition, an opening for drawing wiring such as the power supply line 38 of the illumination unit 3 into the support column 1 is formed. In the present embodiment, the drainage portion is formed on the inner surface of the hollow support column 1 made by extrusion molding using the engagement groove of the post box 4 mounting screw formed over the entire length. Therefore, in this case, it is possible to reach the ground as it is through the engagement groove formed in the support column 1. The mail box 4 is fixed using, for example, packing so that water does not enter the mail box 4.

  Further, without using an engagement groove or the like, for example, the gap formed between the concave and convex shape that can be formed on the side surface of the mailbox 4 (the shape that can be obtained by combining the parts of the mailbox 4) and the inner surface of the column 1 is used as the drainage portion. May be.

  Incidentally, FIG. 1 is a view of the AA ′ cross section immediately above the nameplate portion 5 of the gate pole 2 as shown in FIG. 2 as viewed upward. As shown in FIG. Is formed in a triangular cylinder shape that is a substantially right-angled triangle, and one surface that becomes the support column 1 is extended in the rearward direction of the gate column 2 to form an attachment portion to the illumination base 35. It is fixed. Moreover, the surface which has an oblique side used as a lighting fixture 32 attachment surface is extended in the same plane in the front direction of the gate pillar 2, and the lighting fixture 32 is attached.

  A fluorescent lamp 33 is provided on the lighting fixture 32 so as to be positioned on the front side of the gate pole 2, and the fluorescent lamp 33 is positioned substantially at the center of the column 1 by attaching the lighting fixture 32 to the lighting base 35. It has become. Of course, when the interval between the columns is narrow, the fluorescent lamp 33 may be shifted appropriately so as to be close to the column 1 on one side to which the illumination base 35 is attached so that the manual insertion space 10 can be secured. . In that case, for example, when the illumination part 3 is viewed from the front, the brightest part is not visible on one side, and for example, the corresponding part of the illumination cover 37 on the front part of the fluorescent lamp 33 is reduced in transmissivity. You may leave it.

  In addition, you may perform according to a construction site to provide the lighting fixture 32 on the opposite side to this embodiment, and to provide the manual insertion space 10 on the opposite side to this embodiment. A dedicated component may be prepared, or the illumination base 35 may be simply reversed and used.

  A front panel 36 bulging forward is provided on the front surface of the illumination cover 37. For example, the front panel 36 may be a punching metal made of a metal plate having a large number of small holes, or may be a face plate such as a translucent acrylic plate. Note that the illumination cover 37 may be omitted if the lighting fixture 32 inside the direct illumination unit 3 is not visible. These are appropriately selected in consideration of the design of the gate pillar 2.

  Referring to FIG. 4, a partition plate 7 that closes the front side of the gate column 2 is provided below the gate column 2 and between the lower side of the mail box 4 and the ground. This may not be particularly required, but a sense of unity is created in the gate pillar 2 by using the shape together with the front panel 36 of the illumination unit 3. Moreover, the partition plate 7 may be a rigid plate or a box-like one, which may be useful for improving the strength in the lateral direction of the lower part of the gate pillar 2.

  FIG. 2A shows that the nameplate part 5 and the interphone 6 are located between the illumination part 3 and the mail box 4 below the illumination part 3. In addition, since these are suitably attached to the gate pillar 2, the aspect which does not have the intercom 6, the aspect which does not have the nameplate part 5, and the apparatus which is not shown here may be provided. The top cap 8 is a cap that closes the top of the gate pillar 2 so that rainwater or the like does not enter the gate pillar 2, and closes both the struts 1 and the illumination part 3 together. In addition, it engages with the support | pillar 1 with a bis | screw etc. as prevention of omission.

  Further, the post box 4 used in the present embodiment is a vertical type, and the mailing slot 41 is also formed in the vertical direction. When the post box 4 is sandwiched between the columns 1, the interval between the columns 1 is narrow. It will be. The take-out port 42 is formed on the rear end surface of the mail box 4.

  FIG. 2B corresponds to a side view of the gate pillar 2 as described above, but in order to improve the design, grooves are formed at an equal pitch over the entire length of the side surface in the vertical direction. An aluminum mold is used as the support material.

  And in order to make the whole slender and clean, the height of the gatepost 2 is about 1770 mm from the ground, the width of the whole gatepost 2 is about 210 mm, the width of the mailbox 4 is about 150 mm, and the width of the column 1 is Each is approximately 30 mm, which is very thin compared to the conventional one. The depth of the gate pillar 2 is about 150 mm for the column 1 and about 330 mm for the depth of the mailbox 4. And since the height of a certain part of the illumination part 3 is about 1500 mm, when replacing the fluorescent lamp 33 from the back side of the gate pole 2, it is not directly behind the gate pole 2, but rather is located on either side. You must be as close as possible. Therefore, if the hand insertion space 10 as described above is provided in the illumination section 3 having substantially the same width as the mail box 4, it is easy to insert a hand and replace the fluorescent lamp 33.

  In addition, the flexible tube 20 used when the wiring such as the power line 38 and the signal line 62 of the intercom 6 is started from the ground is accommodated in the support column 1. When the gate pillar 2 is erected, the gate pillar 2 is fixed by fixing the gate pillar 2 by digging the ground, raising the gate pillar 2 and pouring mortar. Therefore, it is necessary to route the wiring or the like from the inside of the house in advance to the position where the gate pillar 2 is erected in a state where it is buried in the ground such as a garden.

  FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view taken along the line B-B ′ immediately above the mailbox 4. As a result, the lower end surface of the intercom 6 and the nameplate part 5 can be seen, and these series are formed so as to communicate with each other including the illumination part 3. The internal humidity environment can be positively affected.

  The power line 38 connected to the lighting fixture 32 is once connected to the terminal block 40, and from the terminal block 40 to the inside of the column 1 via the tension clamp 39 above the position of the post box 4 (see FIG. (Not shown) is drawn in and wired downward. Similarly, the signal line 62 of the intercom 6 is also provided with an opening 63 and is drawn into the column 1.
