Description

  The present invention relates to a wall surface greening device that grows plants such as a plant on the wall surface of a building to greenen the wall surface.

  Wall greening has become widespread as part of the improvement of the urban living environment, such as the prevention of urban warming and the rise in carbon dioxide concentration. Some wall greening devices have vegetation blocks stacked or nets stretched, but the type that uses vegetation blocks requires a large amount of vegetation blocks when the greening area is large, and maintenance is in units of blocks. Cost increases. In addition, greening that fills the wall requires a structure that supports the weight of the large amount of vegetation blocks, which also increases costs.

  The type with a stretched net has problems such as the screen fluttering with the wind, and the net is exposed where the vegetation does not reach, making it unsightly. In this regard, as in Patent Document 1, a structure in which a vine plant such as a wire is stretched and planted on it is vegetated (wire-type wall greening device) is inexpensive and winds in the wind. In addition, there is an advantage that even if the wire is exposed during the period until the vegetation spreads, it is less noticeable. Furthermore, the wire type wall greening device is easy to install in the direction you want to extend the vegetation and can be removed quickly when it is no longer needed. It is considered as an excellent means.

JP 2006-000036 A

  A wire-type wall greening device generally arranges a number of wires for transmitting plants in parallel in the vertical direction along the wall surface, and fixes the upper and lower ends of each. The upper end and the lower end of the wire are fixed by, for example, engaging a hook at the tip of the wire with a hole formed in advance in a laterally long angle member attached to the wall surface or screwing the wire.

  Plants entangled with wires can be said to be in a harsh environment as plants compared to when they are on the ground, such as radiant heat from the wall surface, wind blowing, or high temperature of the wires. Especially in an environment where transpiration from the leaf surface is large or an environment where the distance (height) from the root to the growth point (tip) is large, the necessary moisture may not be sufficient for the whole plant, The middle part of the vegetation tangled with the wire may fade or the growth may become dull.

In order to improve this state, watering may be frequently performed such as spraying water on the entire green portion of the wall surface. However, the wall surface of the building is inconvenient such that the passerby gets wet, so that it is difficult to execute.
Further, in the conventional wire type wall surface greening device, an anchor bolt in which the end portion of the wire is directly fixed to the wall surface, or a so-called L-shaped angle material having an L-shaped cross section fixed to the wall surface with such a bolt is processed in advance at the factory. Since the holes are used for attachment, for example, the distance between adjacent wires cannot be adjusted according to the situation on the site.
Furthermore, in the wire-type wall greening apparatus, the work for attaching the upper end of the wire is performed at a high place.
Furthermore, since recent wall surface greening requires not only greening but also design as a wall surface, it is necessary to consider the appearance of the wall surface greening device.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a wire type wall surface greening device that can be easily and effectively irrigated with respect to vegetation, while being easy to construct and having a good appearance.

In the wire type wall surface greening device, water is allowed to flow downward from the upper end of a vertically stretched wire so that water is irrigated.
The wire may be a normal wire, but is preferably a spiral wire in which a sub-wire is spirally wound around a core wire. Spiral wire strengthens the entanglement of the plant and increases the chance of contact between the water flowing down for irrigation and the plant. Wires (including spiral wires) may be coated with a weather-resistant synthetic resin to prevent so-called heat burn, which causes the wires to become hot and weaken plants.

  A hollow rail member is used for attaching a wire or the like to the wall surface. The hollow part of the profile is used as a water supply hose for irrigation and a storage part for electrical wiring. Also, the rail member shall have a slit in the longitudinal direction, and using a slide member that can be moved and fixed along the slit, the rail member is attached to the wall surface, the wire is attached, or the exterior decoration such as a louver material is provided. A common member to which the material is attached is used.

Water for irrigation flowing down from the upper part of the wire travels down along the wire and is directly contacted and absorbed by plants entangled with the wire. Some climbing plants are rooted from the root of the petiole, in which case water is also absorbed from this root. That is, the chance of contact between plants and water increases as water flows down the wire. Moreover, the space close to the wall surface and the wire itself are cooled by the heat of vaporization, and the vegetation can be prevented from being weakened by the hot air.
Since the rail member of the hollow shape is shared for the attachment of the wire to the wall surface and the appearance decoration material (louver material), the structure of the wall surface greening device is simplified and the construction labor can be reduced.
A slit is formed in the longitudinal direction of the hollow member which is a rail member, and a slide member is attached to the slit so that the rail member can be moved and fixed in the longitudinal direction. The attachment position can be adjustable. According to this, construction of the wall surface greening device becomes easy.

In this case, after the slide member is temporarily fixed to the rail member, the rail member is attached to the L-shaped bracket for rail, the wire is hooked to the slide member temporarily fixed to the rail member, or the L is attached to the louver. Since the slide member can be fixed after the shaped bracket is hooked on the rail member, it is easy to work and the risk of working at high places is reduced.
Since the slide member can be configured to be commonly used for fixing the wall surface and the rail member, attaching the wire to the rail member, and attaching the louver material to the rail, the types of necessary parts can be suppressed.

Since the water distribution hose and the electric wiring for irrigation can be arranged in the hollow part of the rail member, the water distribution hose and the electric wire do not hang loosely on the green wall surface, and the appearance of the green wall surface can be improved. Further, the water distribution hose and the electric wire are protected from external force, and the connecting portion is not disconnected or cut off.
The louver material can be easily attached, and the design of the green wall can be easily adjusted.

The wall surface greening device 1 has an appearance in which a wire 3 is stretched between louvers 5.
FIG. 2 omits the louver 5 of FIG. 1 for explanation.
Each of the rail members 2 is attached to the wall surface with an L-shaped bracket 7 (when distinction is necessary, the rail members 2a, 2b, and 2c are used).

The wire 3 is for entwining and growing a climbing plant planted in the lower planter 8, and between the upper and middle rail members 2a and 2b (wire 3a) and between the middle and lower rail members 2b, A plurality of wires are stretched in parallel between 2c (wire 3b).
The irrigation device 4 has a structure in which water pumped from the pump 6 is sent to the upper ends of the wires 3a and 3b by the water distribution hose 9 and then flows down (drops in this embodiment) to the wires 3a and 3b. Water for irrigation can be obtained by direct connection to rainwater or water pipes stored in the prepared tank.

  The louver 5 (FIG. 1) is attached using an L-shaped bracket 7 (not visible in FIG. 1) between the rail members 2 in which a plurality of louver members 10 are grouped in the vertical direction to form a plurality of steps. The L-shaped bracket 7 is the same as that used when the rail member 2 is fixed to the wall surface. In addition, the code | symbol 11 is a hollow shape material of the vertical direction, Comprising: The main water distribution hose 9a from the pump 6 is accommodated in the inside. From the main water distribution hose 9a, sub water distribution hoses 9b and 9c are branched in the direction of the upper, middle and lower rail members 2a, 2b and 2c. When it is not necessary to distinguish the water distribution hose, it is expressed as a water distribution hose 9.

The configuration of each member will be specifically described.
As shown in FIG. 3, the rail member 2 is a hollow shape formed by extrusion molding of an aluminum alloy in the first embodiment. The rail member 2 includes a peripheral wall 12 and an inner wall 13 crossing the inside, and an upper surface portion of the peripheral wall 12. In addition, slits 14 and 15 that are continuous in the longitudinal direction are formed in the lower surface portion. In this embodiment, the hollow profile has a rectangular cross section of the peripheral wall 12, and an upper surface slit 14 in the center of the flat upper surface and a lower surface slit 15 in the center of the flat lower surface in the longitudinal direction of the rail. Are formed along. The rail member 2 may have a circular cross section with a round peripheral wall 12. The water distribution hose 9 and the electric wiring 16 are accommodated in the hollow portion of the rail member 2.

  The rail member 2 is fixed to the wall surface with an L-shaped bracket 7 as shown in FIG. The L-shaped bracket 7 (FIG. 5) is an L-shape having a vertical portion 17 and a horizontal portion 18, and a bolt insertion hole 20 through which the anchor bolt 19 (M10) (FIG. 4) can be inserted is formed in the vertical portion 17. A long hole 21 in the front-rear direction with the front end opened is formed at the tip of 18. The width of the long hole 21 is such that the mounting bolt 22 (M8) (FIG. 4) can move back and forth. The bolt insertion hole 20 of the vertical portion 17 is opened to the side.

  An L-shaped bracket 7 is used to attach the rail member 2. Corresponding to the positions of the upper, middle and lower rail members 2, a plurality of L-shaped brackets 7 are securely fixed to the marked positions on the wall surface with anchor bolts 19 respectively, and then the rail members 2 are fixed with bolts 22. Install. The bolt 22 is paired with a slide plate 23 that also serves as a nut. A bolt 22 that is screwed in advance with the slide plate 23 is fitted from the end of the rail member 2 using the upper surface slit 14 to form an L shape. After engaging the elongated hole 21 at the position of the bracket 7, the bolt 22 is firmly tightened. The slide plate 23 is formed in a size and length that can move in the longitudinal direction inside the rail member 2 but cannot rotate.

  The wire 3 (wires 3a and 3b when necessary to distinguish) is provided with a spring hook 24 at the top and a spring hook 25 at the bottom (FIG. 4). The wire 3 is a spiral wire in which a sub-wire 27 is spirally wound around a stainless steel core wire 26 (FIG. 4). As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the upper spring hook 24 is formed by forming the upper end portion of the coil spring in the hook 28 and has a tapered shape with its lower part constricted on a cone. On the other hand, the wire 3 is attached by engaging an engagement body 29 fixed to the upper end with the conical portion of the coil spring. The engagement body 29 has a shape in which a cylinder is crushed from the side surface. When the engagement body 29 is engaged with the tapered portion of the spring hook 24, the engagement body 29 is flat.

  In the first embodiment, a chuck 30 is attached to the lower portion of the wire 3 (FIGS. 7A and 7B), and a spring hook 25 is attached to the lower portion of the chuck 30 via a screw member 31. The spring hook 25 is formed with a hook 32 at the lower end of the coil spring. The chuck 30 is of a friction type having a wedge pressed by a spring inside, and the lower portion of the wire 3 can be fixed to the chuck 30 simply by inserting the core wire 26 at the lower end of the wire 3 from above the chuck 30. To release the wire 3 from the chuck 30, the release button 33 of the chuck 30 is pushed down.

The upper part of the wire 3 is attached by engaging the hook 28 of the spring hook 24 with the slide plate 34 (FIG. 3). In the first embodiment, the slide plate 34 is fitted into the hollow portion of the rail member 2 from its end, and is disposed over both sides of the lower surface slit 15. The slide plate 34 is dimensioned so that it can move in the longitudinal direction of the rail member 2 but cannot rotate.
A water supply hose 35, which will be described later, is attached to the slide plate 34, and an engagement hole 36 is provided. The water supply hose 35 is short and penetrates the slide plate 34 in the vertical direction, and is connected to the water supply hose 9 disposed in the hollow portion of the rail member 2 via a dripper 37 (equal pressure dropping device).

  In the hollow portion of the rail member 2, the water supply hose 35 and the upper part of the wire 3 are attached to the slide plate 34, and the water supply hose 35 is connected to the water distribution hose 9 via the dripper 37. When these members are attached to the hollow portion of the rail member 2, the water supply hose 35 is previously attached to the slide plate 34, the hook 28 of the spring hook 24 is engaged with the slide plate 34, and the water supply hose 35 and the water distribution hose 9 are connected. Are sequentially fed from the end of the rail member 2 in a series of continuous states connected by the dripper 37. At this time, the water supply hose 35 and the hook 28 projecting downward from the slide plate 34 move the lower surface slit 15 and set them at predetermined positions.

The lower part of the wire 3 is attached by engaging the lower spring hook 25 with a small eye bolt 39a and an nut 39b (eye bolt / nut 40) (FIGS. 4 and 8) each having an engagement hole 38.
As shown in FIG. 8, the eyebolt / nut 40 is paired with a slide plate 41 having a male screw portion. It arrange | positions in the state which pinched | interposed the surrounding wall 12 located in the both sides of the upper surface part slit 14 with the eyebolt nut 40 and the slide board 41. FIG. The eyebolt / nut 40 can be fixed to the rail member 2 by screwing the male threaded portion of the eyebolt 39a into the female threaded portion of the slide plate 41 and tightening the nut 39b strongly.

  The width of the slide plate 41 can pass through the upper surface slit 14, and the length is sufficiently longer than the width of the slit 14. That is, the slide plate 41 can pass through the slit 14 inward and outward when the longitudinal direction thereof is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the slit 14. Then, by rotating 90 degrees after passing, the slide plate 41 is engaged with both sides of the lower surface slit 15 inside the rail member 2. Accordingly, the slide plate 41 can be attached to the rail member 2 by inserting it into the hollow portion of the rail member 2 from anywhere in the lower surface slit 15 and rotating it, and can be removed by the reverse procedure. Further, the position can be fixed by tightening the eyebolt / nut 40, and the eyebolt / nut 40 can be moved to an arbitrary position along the rail member 2 in a loosened state.

  In the first embodiment, the eyebolt / nut 40 and the slide plate 41 are assembled by fitting a spring 43 and a washer 44 therebetween (FIG. 8B). The nut 40 has a recess 42 in which a spring 43 is fitted. When the nut 39b is screwed in, the spring 43 is compressed and stored in the recess 42 of the nut 39b (FIG. 8A). In this structure, even when the eyebolt / nut 40 is loosened, the washer 44 grips the peripheral wall 12 of the upper surface portion lightly with the elastic force of the spring 43 between the slide plate 41, so that the position is clearly visible when temporarily fixed. It will not move.

  The irrigation device 4 includes a pump 6, a main water distribution hose 9a, sub water distribution hoses 9b and 9c, a dripper 37, and a water supply hose 35a. As described above, the main water distribution hose 9a passes through the inside of the vertical hollow member 11, and is branched into the first-stage rail member 2c and the second-stage rail member 2b from below in the middle thereof. However, it reaches the upper rail member 2a. Further, in each rail member 2, the water supply hose 35 branches through a dripper 37 at a position where the upper end portion of each wire 3 is attached, and the tip of each of the tapered spring hooks 24 attached to the upper portion of the wire 3. Arranged inside.

Therefore, the water from the pump 6 is supplied to the upper part of each wire 3 through the main water distribution hose 9a, the sub water distribution hoses 9b and 9c, the dripper 37, and the water supply hose 35a. In the first embodiment, the supply state is evenly distributed by the dripper 37 that adjusts the pressure, and is in a dripping state with respect to the upper end of each wire. The dripping state is due to the adjustment of the dripper 37 and the flow rate adjustment (time, pressure) to the irrigation device 4 by the controller provided in the pump 6, and the interval of dripping (including the continuous flow down state) is set according to the vegetation state Is done.
The electrical wiring 16 is used for illumination for lighting up the wall surface and various sensors (temperature, humidity, etc.) necessary for irrigation. The lighting fixture 45 and the like are rails using an L-shaped bracket 7. It is attached to the member 2 (FIG. 9).

  Between the upper and lower rail members 2a and 2b, the wire 3a engages the slide plate 34 with the upper spring hook 24 attached to the upper rail member 2a, and the eyebolt with the lower spring hook 25 attached to the lower rail member 2b. -Engage with the nut 40 and stretch it. A plurality of wires 3a are stretched in parallel between the upper and lower rail members 2a and 2b in the vertical direction. The same is true between the rail members 2b and 2c, and a large number of wires 3b are stretched in parallel between the rail members 2b and 2c adjacent in the vertical direction. In this case, since the eyebolt / nut 40 is attached to the upper surface slit 14 and the slide plate 34 is attached to the lower surface slit 15 in the intermediate rail member 2b, the intermediate rail member 2b serves as a relay member. .

When the upper and lower wires 3a, 3b relayed by the intermediate rail member 2b are not aligned in a straight line, or when it is desired to correct the spacing or parallelism between the wires 3, the position of the slide plate 34 at the position where adjustment is required, Adjust the position of the eyebolt nut 40. At this time, in the case of the eyebolt / nut 40, if the tightening with respect to the slide plate 41 is loosened and pushed in a little, the lower slide plate 41 is detached from the inner surface of the peripheral wall 12 and can move in the longitudinal direction of the rail member 2. Easy adjustment. In addition, if the hand is released at the moved target position, the slide plate 41 and the washer 44 grip the peripheral wall 12 by the elasticity of the spring 43 even if it is left as it is, so that it can be temporarily temporarily fixed to the target position. This simplifies the work of stretching the wire 3 on site.
Further, the attachment of the wire member 3 is simple and reliable because the upper and lower portions are engaged by using the hooks 28 and 32. For this reason, detailed procedures are not required in high-altitude work, and construction can be performed safely in a short time.

  The louver 5 (FIG. 1) is a set of two louver members 10 in this embodiment. Each louver member 10 has upper and lower partial louver members 46a and 46b in the vertical direction at the position of the intermediate rail member 2. (FIG. 10). And it attaches to the rail member 2 with the L-shaped bracket 7 (FIG. 5). The same L-shaped bracket 7 as that used when the rail member 2 is attached to the wall surface is changed in orientation (FIG. 11). That is, the L-shaped bracket 7 is fixed to the back surface of the louver member 10 with a normal bolt / nut 51a with the horizontal portion 18 being vertical. The louver material 10 to which the L-shaped bracket 7 is attached hooks the vertical portion 17 (horizontal) of the L-shaped bracket 7 on the upper surface of the rail member 2 and is securely fixed by the mounting bolt 22 and the slide plate 23. To do.

  At this time, since the bolt insertion hole 20 in the vertical portion 17 of the L-shaped bracket 7 is opened to the side, the L-shaped bracket 7 attached to the louver material 10 is slid on the upper surface portion of the rail member 2, In other words, the mounting bolt 22 and the L-shaped bracket 7 can be combined by moving the louver member 10 while applying a weight to the rail member 2. For this reason, the louver material 10 which is long and comparatively heavy can be easily and safely attached even when working at high places.

The louver material 10 is obtained by fitting a core material 47 made of an extruded product of an aluminum alloy in the center of a synthetic resin main body in the longitudinal direction. The material 47 protrudes about 40 mm to form a convex portion 48, and the core material 47 is drawn about 40 mm from the lower end surface of the upper partial louver material 46 a to form a concave portion 49.
The louver 5 is attached by first attaching the lower partial louver material 46b to the rail member 2 and then continuously attaching the upper partial louver material 46a in the vertical direction by concave-convex fitting.

In this way, the long louver material 10 is not drawn around, but the short partial louver materials 46a and 46b are used, so that the construction is easy.
Furthermore, since the louver material 10 is attached to the rail member 2 together with the wire 3 via the L-shaped bracket 7, it is necessary to separately provide a fixing member for attaching the louver material 10 to the wall surface and a fixing member for the wire 3. In addition, it is possible to achieve construction at a low cost with the greening of the wall surface and adjusting the appearance.

When the partial louver members 46a and 46b do not align with the straight line in the vertical direction, adjustment is performed by loosening the mounting bolts 22 temporarily fixing the L-shaped bracket 7 to the rail member 2 and moving them to the left and right.
Note that the louver material 10 may be made of wood, or may be an extruded product made of metal such as punch metal or aluminum alloy. Various shapes and appearances can be employed. The louver 5 is one of appearance decoration materials.

  FIG. 12 is an enlarged view of portions D, E, and F in FIG. 2, and each of the upper rail member 2 a, the middle rail member 2 b, and the lower rail member 2 c is connected to the hollow member 11 in the vertical direction. Structures D, E, and F are shown. At the place where these members are connected, the two members are joined together using the corner hardware 50 and the bolts and nuts 51b. In the connection structures D and E, the inner space of the rail member 2 is connected to the inner space of the hollow member 11 in the vertical direction, and excess irrigation and rainwater entering the rail members 2a and 2b causes the hollow member 11 to be drained in the vertical direction. As guided down. Thereby, water does not scatter from the upper rail members 2a, 2b to the lower passers-by.

  Moreover, in the connection structure F, the internal space of the vertical shape member 11 is connected to the internal space of the rail member 2c at the lower end, and the rail member 2c functions as a horizontal drainage. For this reason, excessive irrigation and rainwater gathered through the rail member is discharged from one end portion of the rail member 2c, and a lot of water traces formed by excess water flowing out are generated irregularly around the building. Can be prevented.

  As described above, the wall surface greening device 1 has a structure in which the wire 3 is stretched in the vertical direction on the wall surface, and the plant is transmitted to the wall 3 so that the plant grows. It is characterized by flowing down the water. Water dripped from above the wire 3 travels along the wire 3 and moves downward by gravity. Since the water traveling along the wire 3 travels along the sub-wire 27 wound in a spiral and flows down over time, it is often used by vegetation. That is, water is supplied to the vegetation entangled with the wire 3, and the vegetation is cooled in summer. Furthermore, water is also absorbed from the foliage and the branch roots entangled with the wire 3. Of course, the planter 8 is also irrigated. Since the wire 3 is obtained by winding the sub-wire 27 around the core wire 26, vegetation is easily entangled, and entanglement of the vegetation is rarely unraveled by wind or the like.

Excess irrigation or rainwater enters the inside of the rail member 2 through the upper surface slit 14 of the rail member 2 arranged in the lateral direction, is guided to the end of the rail member 2, and is guided to the ground by the vertical shape member. As a result, it does not flow out of irregular places on the wall.
In addition, since the water droplet dripped on the upper part of the wire 3 is transmitted along the spiral wire, it may be swung around and sprinkled while flowing down, but this problem may be caused by increasing the spiral pitch or the amount of flowing down. It can be solved by adjusting However, it is not inconvenient to scatter, and in some cases, the shower surface can be used to wet the foliage surface so that a cooling effect on vegetation can be achieved. Although it is sprinkled, most of the water drops are received on the leaves of the vegetation and rarely fall down.

Since the rail member 2 made of a hollow material is used for the attachment of the wire 3, the attachment is simple, and the attachment position can be adjusted on site.
By providing an appearance decoration material such as the louver 5, the wall surface can be designed to combine greening and wall surface decoration.
Since the hollow rail member 2 can also be used for attaching the appearance decoration material, the configuration of the wall surface greening device 1 can be simplified. Moreover, since most of the water distribution hose 9 and the electric wiring 16 for irrigation can be accommodated in the rail member 2, there is no unpleasant feeling such as hanging down outside.

FIG. 13 shows a second embodiment. In the first embodiment, a slide member 52 a is used for fixing the L-shaped bracket 7 and the rail member 2, and a slide is used to attach the wire 3 to the rail member 2. The difference is that the members 52b and 52c are used. Since other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof is omitted.
As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15A, the slide member 52a includes a pair of mounting bolts 22 and a slide plate 41 that also serves as a nut, and a spring 43 and a washer 44 are disposed therebetween. The slide plate 41 has a width that allows it to pass through the upper surface slit 14 of the rail member 2, and the length relative to the width is sufficiently longer than the width of the slit 14.

As a result, when the longitudinal direction of the slide plate 41 is arranged along the slit 14, the slide plate 41 can pass through the slit 14 and move to the hollow portion of the rail member 2, which is a hollow shape member, and is rotated 90 degrees after passing. By doing so, it can be engaged with the rail member 2 (FIGS. 16A and 16B). That is, the slide member 52a can be attached to and removed from the rail member 2 from anywhere using the slit 14. Further, since the spring 43 and the washer 44 are provided, the mounting bolt 22 can be loosened to be temporarily fixed. In the temporarily fixed state, the entire slide member 52 a can be moved along the slit 14 while the slide plate 41 is separated from the peripheral wall 12 by pushing the mounting bolt 22.
For this reason, the slide member 52a, which is attached to the wall surface and temporarily fixed to the rail member 2 in advance with respect to the L-shaped bracket 7 at a fixed position, can be moved and fitted and then fixed, so that the efficiency of the attachment work is increased. be able to.

  The slide member 52b (FIG. 15B) includes an eye bolt (or eye bolt-shaped bolt) 53 and a slide plate fixed to the distal end of the male nut 55 of the operation nut 54, spring 43, washer 44, and eye bolt 53 with a knurled outer periphery. 41. The vertical and horizontal dimensions of the slide plate 41 can be inserted into the slit 15 of the rail member 2 and can be engaged with the peripheral walls 12 (of the rail member 2) on both sides of the slit 15 when rotated. Further, by rotating the operation nut 54, the slide member 52b can be moved along the longitudinal direction of the rail member 2 or fixed at an arbitrary position. The wire 3 is attached by hooking the hook 28 of the spring hook 24 attached to the upper part of the wire 3 to the eyebolt 53.

  The lower portion of the wire 3 is engaged with a slide member 52c attached to the upper surface portion of the rail member 2 using the slit 14. The slide member 52c has the eyebolt / nut 40 of the first embodiment in the form of an eyebolt (or eyebolt-shaped bolt). Therefore, the position can be adjusted by moving along the longitudinal direction of the rail member 2 in the same manner as the other slide members 52a and 52b.

  FIG. 17 is an example of a connected state of each part in the second embodiment. The arrangement of the water supply hose 35 is different from that in the first embodiment (FIG. 3). Since the slide plate 41 of the slide member 52b has a narrow width, it is difficult to attach the water supply hose 35 in advance, and the slit 15 directly from the dripper 37 is separate from the slide plate 41 for engaging the wire 3. To reach the upper spring hook 24.

FIG. 18 shows the third embodiment, and the structure for attaching the upper portion of the wire 3 is different from that in the first embodiment. It has a structure using eyebolts and nuts 40 in both the upper part and the lower part. In the upper rail member 2, an eyebolt / nut 40 is attached to the lower surface slit 15. Since other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof is omitted.
In Embodiments 2 and 3 described above, since the attachment to the rail member 2 is performed by the slide member 52 (52a, 52b, 52c), the adjustment of the position of the rail member 2 and the attachment interval or the inclination of the wire 3 is performed on site. Can be done easily.

FIG. 19 shows a fourth embodiment, in which the first embodiment (FIG. 4) has a ceiling structure. The structure of the bracket for fixing the rail member 2 to a top surface (eave sky, the lower surface of a building overhang | projection part) differs from Example 1. FIG. In the fourth embodiment, a U-shaped bracket 56 in which the L-shaped bracket 7 of the first embodiment is bent inward once more is used for ceiling suspension. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.
A ceiling-suspended type structure is required when the wall surface greening device 1 is arranged below the overhanging portion of a building.
In the fourth embodiment, the rail member 2 to which the lower portion of the wire 3 is attached is also directly fixed to the floor of the building using a U-shaped bracket 56.

  20 and 21 show Examples 5 and 6. FIG. In each of the first to fourth embodiments described above, the wall greening device 1 is constructed using the walls of the building. However, the fifth and sixth embodiments construct a sturdy frame 57 having a gate shape or an arch shape. This is the independent wall surface greening device 1 in which the wire 3 is stretched around the frame 57. To attach the wire 3 to the frame 57, the rail member 2 is attached using the L-shaped bracket 7 or the U-shaped bracket 56 as in the previous embodiment, and the upper and lower ends of the wire 3 are attached to the rail member 2. Other configurations such as the attachment structure of the wire 3 to the rail member 2 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

The stand-alone wall greening device 1 is inherently blinded when the wall surface of the building is not suitable for fixing the rail member 2 and the construction of the wall greening device 1 needs to be designed separately or as shown in FIG. This is used when the wall surface itself is also used as a wall surface greening device.
In the case of the plane type independent wall greening device 1 as in the fifth embodiment (FIG. 20B), for example, it is used as a safety wall (FIG. 20A) for safely isolating a pedestrian from a vehicle guideway.

  The stand-alone wall greening device 1 of Example 6 (FIG. 21) is intended for a drinking fountain in a park or the like, and surrounds a wall with a wire 3 stretched on a sturdy frame 57 configured in a circle shape. It is intended to grow vegetation on the wire 3 and create a temporary relaxing atmosphere. Other configurations such as fixing of the rail member 2 to the frame 57, attachment of the wire 3 to the rail member 2, and the irrigation device 4 are the same as those of the first embodiment.

The embodiment has been described above.
The irrigation device 4 may have a structure in which water is dropped directly on the wire 3 from the water distribution hose 9.
The structure of the bracket 7 and the structure for fixing the rail member 2 to the wall surface are not limited to those of the embodiment.
Although the rail member 2 requires the slits 14 and 15 of a longitudinal direction in an upper surface part and a lower surface part, the cross-sectional structure and magnitude | size are not limited. The size and thickness of the cross section are designed according to the scale of the wall surface greening device 1. Since the longitudinal shape member 11 does not need to withstand the tension of the wire 3, a member having a smaller cross section than the rail member and having a low load resistance but capable of reducing the cost may be used.
When the end portion of the rail member 2 has a sharp edge for cutting off the shape member, a synthetic resin end cap is attached to the end portion in order to avoid injury due to contact. A method in which a resin ring having a wide heat shrinkability is fitted to the outer periphery of the end portion and a portion protruding from the end edge is shrunk with a burner or the like so as to be stuck to the end edge of the rail member 2 may be used.
