Description

  The present invention relates to an intrusion regulation fence for preventing and regulating pet animals from entering a specific place.

When animals are kept indoors, in buildings, etc., there are cases where it is desired to prevent animals from entering certain places such as kitchens, entrances, corridors, and stairs.
In this case, it is well known to attach a fence or gate between pillars and walls, etc., but there are restrictions on the installation location, and it is difficult to attach and remove, so a self-supporting fence is also proposed (patented) References 1, 2).
Such a self-contained animal intrusion control fence is easy to install and easy to move, but in order to make it easier for people to pass, or to allow animals to pass, provide a door that can be opened and closed in part of the fence. Can be considered.
For example, the structural example is shown in FIGS.
When the door 116 that can be opened and closed is provided in a part of the intrusion regulation fence, the lower beam 100 is arranged in the horizontal direction, a plurality of vertical beams 101 are erected on this, the upper ends are connected by the upper beam 102, A structure in which a part of the vertical beam 101 is replaced with a door 116 is a representative example.
In this case, if an opening is formed by removing a part of the upper rail 106 so that a person can easily pass, the center portion of the lower rail 100 is warped upward as shown in FIG. Thus, deformation that warps downward is likely to occur.
In the case of a self-supporting intrusion control fence, if the installation surface is not horizontal, distortion is likely to occur on the left and right sides of the fence, and deformation due to this tends to occur.
Since the opening size W ₁ of the upper spread the case shown in FIG. 9, can no longer engaging lock portion A of the door, the upper part of the opening size W ₂ becomes narrower case shown in FIG. 10, the door lock unit B Interferes and the door itself does not close.
Increasing the strength of the lower rail 100 can be considered as a countermeasure for such a problem, but if the vertical thickness of the lower rail 100 is increased, the risk of catching a foot when a person passes is increased.
In addition, if low-legged ground contact members 100a and 100b are attached to the lower part of the lower beam 100 in order to absorb the undulations and unevenness of the ground surface on which the fence is installed, the lower beam 100 tends to warp further in the vertical direction. Is also envisaged.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an intrusion regulation fence for pet animals having an opening / closing door, which can prevent or absorb deformation of an opening for opening and closing the door.

A pet animal intrusion control fence according to the present invention is an intrusion control fence for controlling the invasion of pet animals, the intrusion control fence having a panel body, the panel body leaving a lower rail and the lower rail. The intrusion control fence has a grounding member for forming a predetermined gap between the lower rail and the installation surface, and the panel body corresponds to the door opening / closing part. A height-adjustable adjustment tool for adjusting a gap between the lower rail and the installation surface is provided at a lower portion of the panel body.
The installation surface is not necessarily horizontal and often has undulations and irregularities, and it is preferable to divide a short leg-shaped grounding member into a plurality of predetermined portions.
The panel body may have a single planar shape, and includes a structure in which the panel body is bent into a U shape or a U shape.
For example, you may have the side panel extended in the direction which crosses the said panel body in the side part of a panel body, and this side panel may be extended so that rotation with respect to a panel body is possible.
When a side panel is connected to the panel body, a door can be provided on one or both of the panel body and the side panel.
Moreover, you may provide the supporting member extended in the direction orthogonal to a panel body.
The under rail of the present invention refers to a horizontal bar material for forming the lower end portion of the panel body.
The position where the grounding member is attached is not particularly limited as long as the intrusion control fence can be installed in a state where the lower rail forms a predetermined gap from the installation surface.
The height of the grounding member is preferably about 5 mm to 20 mm.
The grounding member is preferably made of a non-slip material such as rubber, or one having such a cap attached thereto.
The adjustment tool is for suppressing the deformation of the lower rail and suppressing the play of the product, and may be directly attached to the lower rail corresponding to the position of the door or may be attached to a part of the panel body other than the lower rail.

When the side panel is provided on the side portion of the panel body, the width dimension for restricting the intrusion can be changed by adjusting the rotation angle of the side panel.
Therefore, it can be installed corresponding to the width of the passage.
A plurality of panels may be connected so as to be adjustable in a sliding manner or an overlap allowance so that the width dimension of the panel body itself can be varied.

In the present invention, when a tendency to warp so that the lower rail corresponding to the door portion is lowered, the lowering by the adjusting tool can be suppressed.
It can also be used for adjustment when the installation surface is not horizontal.
In addition, in order to absorb the change in the opening dimension of the opening of the fence located at the top of the door due to the vertical deformation of the lower rail, the door has a locking device that restricts opening and closing at the open end,
The locking device may be configured such that an interval between the locking portion and the locked portion can be adjusted.

The pet control animal intrusion control fence according to the present invention is a lower rail that forms a panel body, and adjusts a gap between the lower surface of the lower rail and the installation surface according to the position of the opening that opens and closes the door. Since the height-adjustable adjustment tool is provided, deformation of the width dimension of the opening can be suppressed.
In addition, when the installation surface of the intrusion regulation fence has undulations or irregularities, it is possible to suppress the play of the product by having this adjustment tool.
