Description

  The present invention relates to a structure for supporting a seat provided in, for example, a stadium or the like.

  As a specific example of a structure for installing a large number of seats in a stadium or the like, as disclosed in the following Patent Document, a leg serving as a support is fixed to a base floor serving as a base, and the leg extends in the width direction. A mode in which a support rail (or a beam) is suspended and seats are arranged along the support rail can be given.

  In a large-scale stadium or the like, the number of seats inevitably increases, and the support rails that support those seats also become long. The long support rail is configured by connecting a plurality of horizontal members extending in a predetermined direction.

  The horizontal member is usually produced by extruding a metal material such as an aluminum alloy and cutting it into an appropriate length. Therefore, the edge where the outer peripheral surface and the end surface of the horizontal member intersect becomes sharp. The support rail is located below the seat, at a position where a hand or foot of a seated person can be reached. Therefore, there is a concern that a human hand touches an edge appearing at a joint between the horizontal members and the clothing, bag, or the like is caught.

  In particular, when a protrusion projecting outward is formed on the horizontal member and the protrusion reaches the end face of the horizontal member, the problem becomes apparent. That is, a hand, clothing, or the like more easily comes into contact with an edge formed at a location where the outer peripheral surface of the projecting protrusion intersects with the end surface.

  The present invention relates to, when constructing a support rail for supporting a seat by connecting a plurality of transverse members, to appropriately cover an edge appearing at a joint between adjacent transverse members and the transverse member. It is the intended purpose.

  In the present invention, a plurality of transverse members extending in a predetermined direction are connected with a gap therebetween, a support rail for supporting a seat, and an end surface of one adjacent transverse member and another transverse member. A seat support structure is provided which includes a cover member having an insertion portion which is inserted into a gap between the end surfaces and abuts or approaches at least a part of the end surfaces of the cross members.

  Further, the cover member has an exterior portion that extends along the direction of extension of the transverse member from the insertion portion and abuts on or approaches at least a part of the outer periphery of the transverse member that intersects the end surface of the transverse member. Is preferred.

  Further, in the present invention, a plurality of transverse members extending in a predetermined direction and having a hollow end are connected with a gap therebetween, and a support rail for supporting a seat, and an adjacent one of the transverse members are provided. A fitting portion that is inserted into both the end portion and the end portion of the other cross member to be fitted thereto, and a gap between the two fitting portions, which is inserted into the gap between the end surfaces of the two cross members, and The spacer had a spacer which was in contact with or approached at least a part of the end face, and whose outer periphery was flush with or at least substantially flush with at least a part of the outer periphery of the cross member intersecting with the end face. A seat supporting structure having a joint member was constructed.

  In the case where the protrusion is provided on the horizontal member, and the protrusion extends to an end surface of the horizontal member, the cover member may include the protrusion at the end of the horizontal member. Abuts or approaches the end face of the projection, or abuts or approaches the outer periphery of the projection, or the spacer of the joint member abuts or approaches the end face of the projection at the end of the transverse member, and Is preferably flush or substantially flush with the outer periphery of the projection.

  A seat supported by the support rail may be engaged with the projection, or a support that supports the support rail may be engaged. That is, the protrusions can be used for connecting the support rail to the seat or connecting the support rail to the support.

  The projections are provided above and below the horizontal member, respectively, the seat is engaged with the projection on the upper side, the support is engaged with the projection on the lower side, and the cover member is vertically moved. One of the parts is inserted from below into the gap between the end face and the end face of the cross member to cover the lower end face and outer periphery of the cross member, and the other part is divided from above. If it inserts in the gap between the end surfaces of the horizontal members and covers the upper end surface and the outer periphery of the horizontal members, the engagement member provided on the seat or the support and the cover member Interference can be avoided, and the mounting position of the seat or the support on the support rail can be arbitrarily set or flexibly changed. When the engaging portion of the seat is engaged so as to overlap the gap between the adjacent cross members, that is, to straddle both ends of both the cross members, the upper part of the cover member , And only the lower part needs to be mounted in the gap. When the engaging portion of the support is engaged so as to overlap the gap between the adjacent transverse members, the lower part of the cover member is omitted, and only the upper part is mounted in the gap. Just fine. In addition, since the cover member is divided into upper and lower parts, the work of mounting the cover member on the support rail or detaching the cover member from the support rail becomes easier.

  If the cover member covers the end face and the outer periphery of the end of the horizontal member, which is the front side for the person arriving at the seat, it is possible to cover the easy-to-reach places with the cover member, and the fingers of the person can be covered. Touching the sharp edge of the horizontal member can be effectively suppressed.

  With respect to the cover member, the width of a portion on the rear side of the exterior part seat may be set to be larger than the width of a part on the front side of the exterior part seater.

  Further, if the area of the part on the front side for the person arriving at the seat of the insertion part is larger than the area of the part on the rear side for the person occupying the seat of the insertion part, the cover attached to the support rail may be used. The front side of the member, that is, the side easily accessible by humans, is less likely to come off.

  An end portion of the horizontal member is hollow, a fitting portion inserted into and fitted to both the end portion of one of the adjacent horizontal members and the end portion of the other horizontal member; A joint member having a spacer which is inserted between gaps between the end surfaces of the two lateral members and is in contact with or close to at least a part of the end surfaces between the joint portions, and the end surfaces and the end surfaces of the lateral members are provided. In the case of a structure in which the insertion portion and the spacer are interposed in the gap, a plurality of transverse members can be easily connected via a joint member, and the spacer serves as a joint between the transverse member and the transverse member. A gap into which the cover member is inserted can be appropriately secured.

  According to the present invention, when constructing a support rail for supporting a seat by connecting a plurality of transverse members, an edge appearing at a joint between adjacent transverse members is preferably covered. be able to.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1, 5 and 6 show a seat support structure of the present embodiment and a seat 6 provided using the same. The structure for supporting a seat according to the present embodiment includes a leg 2 serving as a support fixed to a floor 1 serving as a base (or a frame), and a support rail 3 supported by the leg 2 and extending in a predetermined direction, that is, a width direction. And a cover member 4 attached to a seam of the horizontal member 31 constituting the support rail 3, that is, a gap 32 between the adjacent horizontal members 31 and covering the same. Then, a plurality of seats 6 are arranged along the support rails 3, each of which is supported by the support rails 3.

  Previously, the corrugated floor 1 was constructed by casting concrete on site, but recently, is constructed by combining a plurality of precast concrete blocks 11 previously manufactured in a factory or the like on site. Things are also increasing. As shown in FIG. 5, when a plurality of concrete blocks 11 are joined to form a step floor 1, a sealing material or an adhesive that can be elastically deformed and stretched is applied to joints 12 between the concrete blocks 11. Be laid.

  The leg 2 is fixed to the upright front surface 13 or the horizontal upward surface 14 of the corrugated floor 1 by using a concrete plug, an anchor, or the like, and a member that engages with and holds the support rail 3. There is provided a joining portion 23 and a connecting portion 22 extending from the base portion 21 and connected to the engaging portion 23 to rigidly connect the two. In the illustrated example, the base 21 of the leg 2 is fixed to the front surface 13 of the floor 1, and the leg 2 is raised from the upper surface 14 of the floor 1. That's it. There are a plurality of legs 2 that support the support rail 3 at a plurality of locations. In other words, the support rail 3 is laid across the plurality of legs 2.

  The seat 6 includes a seat 61 on which the buttocks of a seated person are placed, a backrest 62 on which the lumbar or back of the same person rests, and a seat 61 and a backrest 62 on both left and right sides of the seat 61 and the backrest 62. And a support rod 63 for supporting these while connecting them. The seat 61 is rotatable relative to the backrest 62, and the seat 61 is flipped up as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 to secure a passage, and as shown in FIG. It is possible to selectively take the state in which the person is seated by tilting the front part 61 forward and setting it in a horizontal posture. At the lower end of the support rod 63, an engaging portion 64 that engages with and holds the support rail 3 is provided.

  The support rail 3 is formed by connecting a plurality of horizontal members 31 extending in the width direction. Each horizontal member 31 which is a component of the support rail 3 is manufactured by extruding a metal material such as an aluminum alloy, for example, and then cutting the metal material to an appropriate length to have an equal cross-sectional shape. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the horizontal member 31 has ridges 311 and 312 on its lower edge and upper edge, which are projections protruding outward as compared with other portions. The protruding ridge 311 on the front side when viewed from the person arriving at the seat 6 protrudes forward from the front surfaces of the support rail 3 and the horizontal member 31. In addition, the ridge 312 on the side corresponding to the rear as viewed from the person arriving at the seat 6 protrudes rearward from the support rail 3 and the rear surface of the horizontal member 31. The ridges 311 and 312 extend in the width direction together with the horizontal member 31 itself, and reach both end surfaces 313 of the horizontal member 31.

  The engaging portion 23 of the leg 2 is engaged with the lower half of the supporting rail 3 (the horizontal member 31 constituting the supporting rail 3) from below. More specifically, the lower surface which is the outer peripheral surface of the support rail 3, the front surface and the rear surface of the lower half portion, while holding the lower ridges 311 and 312 below the support rail 3 so as to surround them from both front and rear sides. , As well as the upward faces of the ridges 311, 312. This prevents the support rail 3 from rattling or shaking with respect to the leg 2. Note that the engaging portion 23 is divided into a plurality of members, and the members are sometimes fastened to each other using bolts, nuts, and the like, so that the engaging portion 23 may be configured.

  The engaging portion 64 of the support rod 63 of the seat 6 is engaged with the upper half of the supporting rail 3 (the horizontal member 31 constituting the supporting rail 3) from above. More specifically, the upper surface, which is the outer peripheral surface of the support rail 3, the front surface and the rear surface of the upper half portion, while holding the ridges 311 and 312 above the support rail 3 so as to surround them from both front and rear sides. , As well as the downward surface of the ridge. As a result, rattling or wobbling of the support rod 63 of the seat 6 with respect to the support rail 3 is suppressed. Note that the engaging portion 64 is divided into a plurality of members, and the members are sometimes fastened to each other using bolts, nuts, and the like, so that the engaging portion 64 may be configured.

  The joint member 5 is used to connect the plurality of horizontal members 31 constituting the support rail 3. As shown in FIGS. 4, 9 and 10, each of the horizontal members 31 is hollow at least at both left and right ends. Then, the joint member 5 is inserted into each of the hollow end of the adjacent one of the horizontal members 31 and the hollow end of the other horizontal member 31, and a pair of right and left fitting portions 51 to be fitted thereto. And a spacer 52 that is located between the two fitting portions 51 and that is inserted into the gap 32 between the end surfaces 313 of the two lateral members 31, and that the adjacent two lateral members 31 can be connected to each other. it can. The joint member 5 is a hard integral molded product using, for example, a resin material such as polyamide.

  The spacer 52 protrudes outward from the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 51, that is, protrudes forward, upward, rearward, and downward, and is a flange-shaped thin piece that is continuously formed along the outer periphery of the fitting portion 51. It can be used to connect the horizontal members 31 of the book with a gap 32 therebetween. However, the spacer 52 may be formed into an intermittent shape that is partially cut and is not continuous all around. The insertion portion 42 is orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the fitting portion 51 and is located at the center or substantially the center of the left and right fitting portions 51. The spacer 52 is harder than the insertion portion 42 of the cover member 4 described later. In other words, the spacer 52 has a larger elastic modulus than the insertion portion 42, and is less likely to expand and contract in thickness than the spacer 52 when a stress of the same magnitude acts.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the present embodiment, the thickness D2 of the spacer 52 is set to the width of the gap 32 between two adjacent horizontal members 31, that is, the end surface 313 of one horizontal member 31 and the other horizontal member. The distance between the material 31 and the end surface 313 is smaller than the distance. In short, when connecting two adjacent horizontal members 31, the width of the gap 32 between the horizontal members 31 is set to be slightly larger than the thickness D2 of the spacer 52. Therefore, the spacer 52 is in a state slightly separated from one or both end surfaces 313 of the two connected horizontal members 31. It is preferable that the width of the gap 32 of the horizontal member 31 is set to a value within a range of 3 mm to 3.5 mm.

  As described above, the horizontal member 31 constituting the support rail 3 is an extruded product, and the edge at which the outer peripheral surface of the horizontal member 31 intersects with the end surface 313 (in particular, is orthogonal or substantially orthogonal) is sharp. . Particularly, in the present embodiment, the ridges 311 and 312 for engaging the engaging portions 23 of the legs 2 and the engaging portions 64 of the support rods 63 of the seat 6 with the horizontal member 31 are outward, that is, front and rear. Since the edges where the outer peripheral surfaces of the ridges 311 and 312 intersect with the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 31 project forward and backward, the hands, clothes, bags, etc. of the people sitting on the seat 6 are projected. Can easily touch the edge.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, a sharp edge, particularly an edge of the ridges 311 and 312, is formed at a joint of the support rail 3 in which the end faces 313 of two adjacent horizontal members 31 are opposed to each other with the gap 32 therebetween. A cover member 4 for covering is provided. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, 7, and 8, the cover member 4 includes an insertion portion 42 inserted into the gap 32 between the end surfaces 313 of the horizontal members 31 facing each other, and the insertion portion 42. And an exterior portion 43 that extends along the direction in which the horizontal member 31 extends. The cover member 4 is an integrally molded product using, for example, a resin material such as polypropylene, and has flexibility such that the cover member 4 can be bent to some extent by human power.

  In this embodiment, the cover member 4 is divided into an upper part 41 and a lower part 41. The lower part 41 is inserted into the gap 32 between the end surfaces 313 of the two lateral members 31 from below, and covers the lower half end surface 313 and the outer peripheral surface at the ends of the lateral members 31. In addition, the upper part 41 is inserted into the gap 32 between the end surfaces 313 of the two lateral members 31 from above, and covers the end surface 313 and the outer peripheral surface of the upper half at the ends of the lateral members 31. . However, the upper part 41 and the lower part 41 are common. The shape of the upper part 41 and the shape of the lower part 41 are the same, and they are symmetric with respect to the horizontal plane. Therefore, the upper part 41 can be turned over and used as the lower part 41, or the lower part 41 can be turned over and used as the upper part 41.

  The shape of the component 41 forming the cover member 4 will be additionally described. As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 7 to 9, the exterior portion 43 has a contour shape of the lateral member 31 in a side view or a side sectional view, that is, a convex front portion from the front surface of the lateral member 31. The shape surrounding the upper half or the lower half of the horizontal member 31 is adjusted in accordance with the outer periphery of the ridge 311, the upper surface of the horizontal member 31, the rear convex line 312 and the rearward surface of the horizontal member 31. Have. At the same time, the exterior portion 43 has a flat plate shape that extends from the insertion portion 42 to the left and right sides along the width direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 9 and 10, when the cover member 4 (each component 41) is attached to the seam 32 at the end of the adjacent horizontal member 31, the front wall 431 of the exterior part 43 is The top wall 433 abuts or approaches the front surface at the end of the horizontal member 31, the top wall 433 abuts or approaches the upper or lower surface at the end of the two horizontal members 31, and the rear wall 435 connects the two horizontal members 31. Abuts or approaches the rearward facing surface at the end of. Furthermore, the bulging wall 432 that connects the front wall 431 and the top wall 433 while curving so as to bulge forward in the exterior part 43 extends along the front ridge 311 at the ends of both the lateral members 31. And abut or approach it. In addition, the bulging wall 434 connecting the top wall 433 and the rear wall 435 while bending so as to bulge rearward in the exterior part 43 extends along the rear ridge 312 at the ends of both the lateral members 31. And abut or approach it. As a result, the exterior part 43 of the cover member 4 shields and covers each end of the two adjacent horizontal members 31 and the gap 32 between the two from outside.

  The exterior portion 43 has a width W2 of the portions 434 and 435 on the rear side for the person arriving at the seat 6 and a width W1 of the portions 431 and 432 on the front side for the person occupying the seat 6 of the exterior portion 43. We take big. Specifically, the width W2 of the rear wall 435, the rear bulging wall 434, and the rear end of the top wall 433 connected to the rear wall 435, the front wall 431, the front bulging wall 432, and the top wall 433 connected to the front wall 433. The width is slightly larger than the width W1 at the front end. The width of the top wall 433 gradually decreases from the rear end toward the front end. The reason for setting the width dimensions W1 and W2 of the exterior part 43 in this way is first to clarify the front and rear of each component 41 of the cover member 4. Second, as shown in FIG. 11, the support rails 3 are not completely straight, but are gently curved in accordance with the shape of a stadium or the like in which the seats 6 are installed. When one of the horizontal members 31 is inclined forward by one or several degrees with respect to the other and then connected to each other, the gap 32 between the end surfaces 313 and 313 of the horizontal members 31 This is for appropriately shielding both front and rear by the part 43.

  As shown in FIGS. 3, 7 to 9, the insertion portion 42 projects inward from the inner periphery of the exterior portion 43, that is, backward from the front wall 431 and the front bulging wall 432, and downward from the top wall 433. It is a thin piece protruding forward (upper part 41) or upward (lower part 41) from the rear wall 435 and the rear bulging wall 434. The insertion portion 42 is orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the exterior portion 43 and is located at the center or approximately the center of the widths W1 and W2 of the exterior portion 43. The insertion portion 42 is softer than the flange 52 of the joint member 5 described above. In other words, the insertion portion 42 has a smaller elastic modulus than the spacer 52, and expands and contracts more than the spacer 52 when a stress of the same magnitude acts.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 10, the thickness D <b> 1 of the insertion portion 42 is the width of the gap 32 between two adjacent horizontal members 31, that is, the end surface 313 of one horizontal member 31 and the other horizontal member. 31 is equal to or approximately equal to the distance between the end surface 313 and the end surface 313 (slightly larger or slightly smaller than the width of the gap 32). As shown in FIGS. 2, 9 and 10, when the cover member 4 (each component 41) is attached to the joint 32 at the end of the adjacent transverse member 31, the insertion portion 42 The gap 32 between the end surfaces 313 and the end surfaces 313 is inserted, and the end surfaces 313 of the horizontal members 31 are brought into contact with or close to the end surfaces 313 to cover almost all of the end surfaces 313. Normally, the insertion portion 42 fits tightly into the gap 32 between the end surfaces 313 of the two lateral members 31 and comes into close contact with the end surfaces 313 of the two lateral members 31.

  Therefore, the outer edge 43 of the cover member 4 and the insertion portion 42 cover a sharp edge where the outer peripheral surface and the end surface 313 at the end of the horizontal member 31 intersect. In particular, the edge where the outer peripheral surfaces of the ridges 311 and 312 intersect with the end surface 313 is concealed, so that human hands, clothes, bags, and the like are prevented from touching the edge.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, when the ends of the two horizontal members 31 are connected to each other using a joint material, and the cover member 4 is attached to the gap 32 between the horizontal members 31, The spacer 52 of the joint member 5 and the insertion portion 42 of the cover member 4 face each other in the gap 32 of the horizontal member 31 along the inside and outside directions.

  As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 9, in a side view or a side sectional view, the area of the portion 421 on the front side of the person who arrives at the seat 6 of the insertion part 42 is the person who arrives at the seat 6 of the insertion part 42. Is larger than the area of the portion 422 on the rear side. Specifically, by partially cutting out a portion 422 of the insertion portion 42 surrounded by the bulging wall 434 behind the exterior portion 43, the area of the portion 422 on the rear side of the insertion portion 42 can be reduced. Is smaller than the area of the portion 421 surrounded by the bulging wall 432 at the front of the vehicle.

  This makes it easier for the rear parts 434 and 435 of the components 41 constituting the cover member 4 to be more elastically deformed than the front parts 431 and 432, for example, the rear wall 435 and the rear bulging wall 434. To bend rearwardly upward (upper part 41) or lower rearward (lower part 41). In addition, the friction between the rear portion 422 of the insertion portion 42 inserted into the gap 32 of the horizontal member 31 and the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 31 is smaller, and the front portion 421 and the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 31 are smaller. And the friction with it becomes greater. As a result, the front side of the cover member 4 attached to the joint 32 of the support rail 3, that is, the side that is easily accessible by the person seated on the seat 6, is less likely to come off, while the rear side of the cover member 4, that is, the seat is seated. The side that is hard to reach is more likely to come off.

  When each component 41 of the cover member 4 is to be mounted on the joint 32 of the support rail 3, the front side of the insertion portion 42 is first inserted or press-fitted into the gap 32 of the horizontal member 31 from the front, and the exterior portion 43 is inserted. The front wall 431 and the front bulging wall 432 are in contact with or close to the front face of the end of the horizontal member 31 and the front ridge 312. Next, the upper side (upper part 41) or the lower side (upper part 41) of the insertion part 42 is inserted or press-fitted into the gap 32 of the horizontal member 31 from above or below, and the top wall 433 of the exterior part 43 is attached. It is brought into contact with or close to the upper or lower surface of the end of the horizontal member 31. Thereafter, the rear side of the insertion portion 42 is inserted or press-fitted into the gap 32 of the horizontal member 31 from behind, and the rear wall 435 and the rear bulging wall 434 of the exterior portion 43 are positioned behind the end of the horizontal member 31. It is brought into contact with or close to the facing ridge 312 on the facing surface and the rear.

  In order to separate each component 41 of the mounted cover member 4 from the joint 32 of the support rail 3, first, the rear wall 435 and the rearward bulging wall 434 of the exterior part 43 are connected to a horizontal member. The rear side of the insertion part 42 is pulled out from the gap 32 of the horizontal member 31 so as to be separated rearward from the end of the base 31. Next, the top wall 433 and the top wall 433 of the exterior part 43 are separated upward (upper part 41) or downward (lower part 41) from the end of the horizontal member 31, and the upper side or lower side of the insertion part 42 is separated. The horizontal member 31 is pulled out from the gap 32. Finally, the front wall 431 of the exterior part 43 and the bulging wall 432 on the front side are pulled forward from the end of the horizontal member 31 so that the front side of the insertion portion 42 is removed from the gap 32 of the horizontal member 31. Put out.

  The length of the metal horizontal member 31 expands and contracts with a change in temperature. In addition, when an earthquake occurs, the concrete block 11 and the leg 2 fixed to the floor 1 swing and the horizontal member 31 supported by the leg 2 swings with the seat 6. In constructing the support rail 3, the end surfaces 313 of the adjacent horizontal members 31 are connected to each other with a gap 32 therebetween without being in close contact with each other because the horizontal members 31 collide with the adjacent horizontal members 31. This is to secure in advance a space that can be displaced without causing any excessive stress concentration on the horizontal member 31 due to expansion, contraction, earthquake, or the like. The thickness D2 of the spacer 52 of the joint member 5 is smaller than the width of the gap 32 of the horizontal member 31 and the thickness D1 of the insertion portion 42 of the cover member 4, and the insertion portion 42 of the cover member 4 is relatively thin. The softness also contributes to the purpose of preventing the horizontal member 31 from being damaged due to excessive stress acting on the horizontal member 31.

  As shown in FIG. 5, two adjacent legs 2 may be fixed to concrete blocks 11 that are separate from each other. At this time, if these two legs 2 are connected to the same one cross member 31, each concrete block 11 moves in a different direction when an earthquake occurs, and each leg 2 also moves in a different direction from each other. Then, there is a possibility that the transverse members 31 supported by the legs 2 may be damaged.

  Therefore, when the two adjacent legs 2 are fixed to the concrete blocks 11 different from each other, the horizontal member 31 with which one leg 2 engages and the horizontal member 31 with which the other leg 2 engages The legs 2 and the lateral members 31 are arranged such that the two are separated. In the present embodiment, between the horizontal member 31 with which one leg 2 is engaged and the horizontal member 31 with which the other leg 2 is engaged, an intermediate horizontal member that is shorter than the horizontal members 31. 31 is interposed. The intermediate horizontal member 31 is separated from the horizontal member 31 with which one leg 2 is engaged and the horizontal member 31 with which the other leg 2 is engaged, and forms separate bodies. Needless to say, the horizontal member 31 with which one leg 2 engages is separate from the horizontal member 31 with which the other leg 2 engages. The leg 2 fixed to the concrete block 11 is not engaged with the intermediate cross member 31, that is, it is not directly supported by the leg 2. The joint 12 which is the boundary between the two concrete blocks 11 is located at a position overlapping the middle horizontal member 31.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the engaging portion 64 provided on the support rod 63 of the seat 6 is engaged so as to straddle both ends of two adjacent horizontal members 31. For example, it may be engaged so as to cover the seam 32 of the support rail 3. In this case, the engaging portion 64 is tightly fitted to the outer periphery of each of the horizontal members 31 including the ridges 311 and 312 and is tightly bound, so that there is a gap between the end surfaces 313 of the two horizontal members 31. Even though the cross members 32 are provided, the horizontal members 31 are integrated by the engaging portions 64 (although they are separated and formed as separate members). That is, one of the two adjacent horizontal members 31 is prevented from being relatively displaced with respect to the other. The same applies to the case where the engaging portions 23 provided on the legs 2 are engaged so as to straddle both ends of two adjacent horizontal members 31.

  Then, the engaging portion 64 of the seat 6 or the engaging portion 23 of the leg 2 is engaged so as to straddle the left end of the intermediate horizontal member 31 and the right end of the horizontal member 31 adjacent to the left, and When engaged so as to straddle the right end of the same middle horizontal member 31 and the left end of the right adjacent horizontal member 31, three horizontal members 31 including the intermediate horizontal member 31 are integrated. As a result, the situation is the same as when the two legs 2 fixed to the separate concrete blocks 11 are connected to one cross member 31. Then, an excessive stress may concentrate on any of the horizontal members 31 due to elongation of the horizontal member 31 itself or occurrence of an earthquake.

  In order to avoid this problem, in the present embodiment, one end of one horizontal member 31 (particularly, an intermediate horizontal member 31) and one end of another horizontal member 31 adjacent thereto are connected to each other. When the engaging portions 64 and 23 of any of the seats 6 or the legs 2 are engaged so as to straddle both sides, the other end of the horizontal member 31 (the intermediate horizontal member 31) and the adjacent end thereof The length of the transverse member 31 is set so that the engaging portions 64 and 23 of any of the seats 6 or the legs 2 do not engage so as to straddle both ends of another transverse member 31 to be formed. I have. Specifically, the length of the intermediate horizontal member 31 is set to be the same as the separation distance between a pair of engagement portions 64 provided on the left and right sides of one seat 6, that is, the inner dimension of both engagement portions 64 or By making it shorter than that, the possibility that the engaging portions 64 on both sides of the seat 6 simultaneously cover and engage with the seams 32 on the left and right sides of one intermediate horizontal member 31 is reduced.

  The number of seats 6 can be arbitrarily increased or decreased, and the arrangement layout can be arbitrarily changed along the extending direction of the support rail 3. Incidentally, the lower edge of the engaging portion 64 of the seat 6 that engages with the support rail 3 corresponds to the part 41 (of the front wall 431 and the rear wall 435) below the cover member 4 attached to the joint 32 of the support rail 3. It is located above the upper edge. As shown in FIG. 5, when the engaging portion 64 of any of the seats 6 covers and engages with the joint 32 of the support rail 3, the part 41 above the cover member 4 is attached to the joint 32. Instead, only the lower part 41 is mounted.

  In addition, the upper edge of the engaging portion 23 of the leg 2 that engages with the support rail 3 is attached to the part 41 above the cover member 4 (the front wall 431 and the rear wall 435) of the cover member 4 attached to the joint 32 of the support rail 3. ) It is located above the lower edge. When the engaging portion 23 of any one of the legs 2 covers and engages with the joint 32 of the support rail 3, only the upper component 41 is attached to the joint 32 without mounting the lower component 41 of the cover member 4. I do.

  The lower edge of the engaging portion 64 of the seat 6 is higher than the upper edge of the engaging portion 23 of the leg 2, and the engagement of the engaging portion 64 of the seat 6 and the support rail 3 at one joint 32 of the support rail 3. It is also possible that the parts 23 are simultaneously covered and engaged. In this case, both parts 41 of the cover member 4 are not attached to the joint 32.

  In this embodiment, a plurality of horizontal members 31 extending in a predetermined direction are connected with a gap 32 therebetween, and a support rail 3 for supporting the seat 6 and an end surface 313 of one adjacent horizontal member 31. The insertion portion 42 which is inserted into the gap 32 between the end portion 313 of the other horizontal member 31 and the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 31 to contact or approach at least a part of the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 31, and the horizontal member 31 from the insertion portion 42. And a cover member 4 having an exterior portion 43 which extends along the direction of extension of the horizontal member 31 and which abuts or approaches at least a part of the outer periphery of the horizontal member 31 intersecting with the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 31 for seat support. The structure was constructed. According to the present embodiment, when constructing the support rail 3 for supporting the seat 6 by connecting the plurality of transverse members 31, it appears at the joint 32 between the adjacent transverse members 31. The edges can be suitably coated.

  The horizontal member 31 is provided with protrusions 311 and 312 protruding from other portions, and the protrusions 311 and 312 reach the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 31. When the cover member 4 contacts or approaches the end surface 313 of the projections 311 and 312 and contacts or approaches the outer periphery of the projections 311 and 312 at the end of the horizontal member 31, the projections 311 and It covers a sharp edge where the outer periphery of 312 and the end face 313 intersect.

  A seat 6 supported by the support rail 3 is engaged with the protrusions 311 and 312, and a support (leg) 2 that supports the support rail 3 can be engaged. That is, the protrusions 311 and 312 can be used for coupling the support rail 3 and the seat 6 or coupling the support rail 3 and the support 2.

  The projections 311 and 312 are provided above and below the horizontal member 31, respectively, the seat 6 is engaged with the projections 311 and 312 on the upper side, and the support body is engaged with the projections 311 and 312 on the lower side. 2 is engaged, and the cover member 4 is divided into upper and lower parts, and one of the parts 41 is inserted from below into the gap 32 between the end surface 313 and the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 31 so that the horizontal member The other part 41 covers the lower end surface 313 and the outer periphery of the lower member 31, and the other part 41 is inserted into the gap 32 between the end surface 313 and the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 31 from above and the upper end surface of the horizontal member 31. 313 and the outer periphery. Accordingly, interference between the engaging portions 64 and 23 provided on the seat 6 or the support 2 and the cover member 4 can be avoided, and the mounting position of the seat 6 or the support 2 on the support rail 3 can be set arbitrarily or Be able to change flexibly. When the engaging portion 64 of the seat 6 is engaged so as to overlap the gap 32 between the adjacent horizontal members 31, that is, to straddle both ends of both the horizontal members 31, It is sufficient to omit the upper part 41 of the cover member 4 and mount only the lower part 41 in the gap 32. When the engaging portion 23 of the support 2 is engaged so as to overlap with the gap 32 between the adjacent horizontal members 31, the lower component 41 of the cover member 4 is omitted and the upper component is Only 41 needs to be mounted in the gap 32. In addition, since the cover member 4 is vertically divided, the work of attaching the cover member 4 to the support rail 3 or detaching the cover member 4 from the support rail 3 becomes easier.

  Since the cover member 4 covers the end surface 313 and the outer periphery of the end portion of the horizontal member 31 on the front side for the person arriving at the seat 6, it is possible to cover the easy-to-reach places with the cover member 4, It is possible to effectively prevent a finger of a person from touching the sharp edge of the horizontal member 31.

  With respect to the cover member 4, the width dimension W2 of the portion 434, 435 on the rear side of the exterior part 43 for the person arriving at the seat 6 is changed to the front side part 431, 432 of the person arriving on the seat 6 of the exterior part 43. Is set larger than the width W1 of the end of the horizontal member 31 when the support rail 3 is gently curved in accordance with the shape of a stadium or the like where the seat 6 is installed, as shown in FIG. It is effective to appropriately shield the gap 32 between the 313 and the end face 313 from both the front and rear by the exterior part 43.

  Further, since the area of the portion 421 on the front side of the person who arrives at the seat 6 of the insertion part 42 is larger than the area of the part 422 on the rear side of the person who arrives at the seat 6 of the insertion part 42, The front side of the cover member 4 attached to 3, that is, the side that is easily accessible by humans, is unlikely to come off.

  An end portion of the horizontal member 31 is hollow, and a fitting portion 51 that is inserted into both the end portion of one adjacent horizontal member 31 and the end portion of the other horizontal member 31 to be fitted thereto, In addition, the joint member 5 having the spacer 52 which is inserted between the two fitting portions 51 and is inserted into the gap 32 between the end surfaces 313 of the two lateral members 31 and abuts on or approaches at least a part of the end surfaces 313 is provided. Since the insertion member 42 and the spacer 52 are provided in the gap 32 between the end surface 313 and the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 31, a plurality of horizontal members can be easily provided via the joint member 5. The gaps 32 through which the cover member 4 is inserted into the joints between the horizontal members 31 can be appropriately secured by the spacers 52.

  However, in the present embodiment, the support rail 3 for supporting the seat 6 adjacent to the plurality of cross members 31 extending in the predetermined direction and having hollow ends is connected with the gap 32 therebetween. A fitting portion 51 which is inserted into both the end of one of the horizontal members 31 and the end of the other horizontal member 31 and fits them, and the two horizontal members 31 between the two fitting portions 51 Member having a spacer 52 whose thickness is smaller than the width of the gap 32 and is separated from the end face 313 of one or both of the horizontal members 31 while being inserted into the gap 32 between the end faces 313 and 313. 5 to form a seat supporting structure. According to the present embodiment, in a construction in which the plurality of transverse members 31 are connected to form the support rail 3 for supporting the seat 6, excessive stress is applied to the transverse members 31 due to the displacement of the transverse members 31. Acting can be avoided or suppressed.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, a plurality of transverse members 31 extending in a predetermined direction are connected with a gap 32 therebetween, and a support rail 3 for supporting the seat 6 and supported by the support rail 3. It is provided on the support body 2 that supports the seat 6 or the support rail 3, and includes engagement portions 64 and 23 that engage with the support rail 3. When one of the seats 6 or the engaging portions 64 and 23 of the support body 2 is engaged so as to straddle both ends of another horizontal member 31 adjacent to the horizontal member 31, In order that the engaging portions 64 and 23 of any of the seats 6 or the support 2 do not engage so as to straddle both the end portion and the end portion of another cross member 31 adjacent thereto, the cross member 31 The length of the seat support structure is set. According to the present embodiment, in a construction in which the plurality of transverse members 31 are connected to form the support rail 3 for supporting the seat 6, excessive stress is applied to the transverse members 31 due to the displacement of the transverse members 31. Acting can be avoided or suppressed.

  The gap 32 between the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 31 and the end surface 313 is set to, for example, a size between 3 mm and 3.5 mm.

  Then, the insertion portion 42 that is inserted into the gap 32 between the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 31 and the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 31 to contact or approach at least a part of the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 31, and the insertion portion 42 And a cover member 4 having an exterior part 43 extending along the direction of extension of the horizontal member 31 and abutting or approaching at least a part of the outer periphery of the horizontal member 31 intersecting with the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 31. By doing so, the edge appearing at the joint 32 between the adjacent horizontal members 31 can be covered with the cover member 4 appropriately.

  The insertion portion 42 of the cover member 4 is softer than the spacer 52 of the joint member 5. As a result, even if the insertion portion 42 of the cover member 4 is tightly fitted into the gap 32 between the end surfaces 313 of the horizontal members 31 and is brought into close contact with the end surfaces 313 of both the horizontal members 31, It is difficult for excessive stress to act.

  When two adjacent supports 2 of the supports 2 that support the support rails 3 are fixed to concrete blocks 11 that are separate from each other, a horizontal member 31 with which one of the two supports 2 is engaged and The two horizontal members 31 are separated from the horizontal members 31 with which the other members engage.

  Between the horizontal member 31 with which one of the two supports 2 is engaged and the horizontal member 31 with which the other is engaged, there is an intermediate member which is separated from these two horizontal members 31 and forms a separate body. The horizontal member 31 is interposed.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described in detail above. For example, the backrest 62 is not indispensable to the seat 6, and the seat 6 including only the seat 61 can be supported by the support rail 3. The mechanism for raising the seat 61 is not essential.

  Projections (projections) 311 and 312 projecting above the upper surface and projections (projections) 311 and 312 projecting below the lower surface are formed on the horizontal member 31 constituting the support rail 3. The engaging portions 64 of the seat 6 or the engaging portions 23 of the legs 2 may be engaged with the protrusions 311, 312. In this case, it looks as if FIG. 9 is rotated 90 degrees to the left or right. Also in this case, of course, the insertion portion 42 of the cover member 4 is inserted into the gap 32 between the end surfaces 313 of the horizontal members 31 and is brought into contact with or close to at least a part of the end surfaces 313 so as to make this. Cover. Then, the exterior portion 43 extended from the insertion portion 42 in the extending direction of the horizontal member 31 abuts on or approaches at least a part of the outer periphery intersecting with the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 31 to cover it.

  In the above embodiment, the cover member 4 is vertically divided into two parts. However, the cover member 4 may be divided into two parts.

  The cover member 4 for covering the edge of the horizontal member 31 is not an essential component. As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, by projecting the spacer 52 of the joint member 5 outward to a position where the outer periphery thereof is flush or substantially flush with at least a part of the outer periphery of the horizontal member 31. The edge where the outer peripheral surface of the horizontal member 31 and the end surface 313 intersect can be covered or shielded. In this case, the thickness width of the spacer 52 is determined by the width of the gap 32 between two adjacent horizontal members 31, that is, the separation distance between the end surface 313 of one horizontal member 31 and the end surface 313 of the other horizontal member 31. It is preferable that they are equal or substantially equal (slightly larger or slightly smaller than the width of the gap 32). The spacer 52 abuts or approaches at least a part of the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 31. In particular, the spacer 52 is in contact with or close to the end face 313 of the projections 311 and 312 at the end of the horizontal member 31 and is flush or substantially flush with the outer periphery of the projections 311 and 312.

  Furthermore, by projecting the spacer 52 of the joint member 5 outward to a position where the outer periphery projects outward beyond at least a part of the outer periphery of the horizontal member 31, the outer peripheral surface and the end surface of the horizontal member 31 are extended. It is also conceivable to cover or shield the edge where 313 intersects. The spacer 52 may protrude outward from the outer periphery of the protrusions 311 and 312 while being in contact with or near the end surface 313 of the protrusions 311 and 312 at the end of the horizontal member 31.

  The exterior part 43 of the cover member 4 in the above embodiment is not essential, and the cover member 4 having no such exterior part 43, that is, the end surface 313 of one adjacent horizontal member 3 and the other horizontal member 3 It is also possible to configure the cover member 4 having only the insertion portion 42 which is inserted into the gap 32 with the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 3 and abuts on or approaches at least a part of the end surface 313 of the horizontal member 3. In this case, the insertion portion 42 of the cover member 4 abuts on the end surface 313 of the portion including the protrusions 311 and 312 at the end of the horizontal member 3, similarly to the spacer 52 shown in FIGS. 12 and 13. Be close. It is preferable that the insertion portion 42 be flush with or substantially flush with the outer periphery of the portion including the protrusions 311 and 312 of the horizontal member 3 or protrude outward.
