DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fence having a block-fence-like appearance and installed at a boundary of a site, a roadside or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A block wall installed at a boundary of a site or the like is integrally assembled by mortar while stacking concrete blocks along a reinforcing bar, but the weight of the block itself is large.
Because of the wet type, the workability is poor, it takes time to complete,
The completed state depends on the skill of the constructor.

On the other hand, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-50053 discloses a fence having a block-floor appearance which is lightweight and easy to handle by using a metal-divided panel in the form of a concrete block. Has been proposed,
The panels are vertically stacked and sandwiched in the width direction by the columns, so that the panels can be assembled only with an appearance resembling a block wall, and since the components of the blocks are divided, the assembling work is not simple.

In Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-22200, the arrangement of the panels is changed by sandwiching the two vertical members between the two divided panels from both sides, but the two panels are vertically integrated. Since the internal structure is complicated to sandwich the material, and each panel is supported by two vertical members, the pattern of the panel is limited.

The present invention has been made in view of the limitations of the design of the conventional block fence, and proposes a fence having a simple structure capable of producing a wide range of designs.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the present invention, the width of the fence design is increased by disposing the blocks between the upper and lower cross members, and the blocks are made into a single member, which is engaged with the cross members, and To improve assembly workability.

A fence is disposed between a plurality of cross members and vertically adjacent cross members, and a block fixed to the cross members by engaging both the cross members in the length direction and the expected direction. Consists of a post that penetrates the cross member, on an elevation, at least on the post and the plane of the block arranged at a position that intersects the post,
A hollow portion is formed in the overlapping portion so that the column can be inserted.

[0008] The pillars maintain the form of the fence by penetrating the cross member and penetrating through the hollow portion of the block, and hide in the block at positions intersecting with the block, thereby enhancing the appearance of the block in the entire fence.

The block is arranged between the upper and lower cross members, and at a position intersecting with the column, the column is inserted through the hollow portion so that the position of the block is not restricted according to the position of the column. And the pattern becomes more diverse. Also, if the block placed at the position intersecting with the support has a hollow part, the block can be of any shape and material, so in addition to metals such as aluminum shapes, use wood or glass blocks to meet the target and purpose. The fence design can be expanded to a design that matches the surrounding environment.

[0010] Further, the block is used alone as a constituent material of the fence, and is fixed to the cross member in a state where it is engaged with the vertically adjacent cross member in the longitudinal direction and the anticipated direction, thereby requiring the use of screws and other parts. Instead, the fixing is completed by the installation, the work of assembling the crosspiece and the block is simplified, and the workability is improved.

Is inserted through the hollow portion 31 of the block 3. Of cross member 2,
An insertion hole 21 is formed in a portion where the support 4 penetrates,
Is inserted through the insertion hole 21 of the cross member 2 and the hollow portion 31 of the block 3. The strut 4 basically abuts the cross member 2 located at the uppermost portion from below, penetrates the cross member 2 positioned at the lowermost portion, and is embedded in the ground, but does not require the lower end to be embedded in the ground. In some parts, it may hit the lowermost horizontal member 2 and may penetrate the uppermost horizontal member 2 in terms of design.

In the embodiment, a case where a hollow profile is used for the block 3 is shown. However, if a hollow portion 31 is formed at a necessary portion of the block 3 arranged at a position intersecting with the column 4, the material of the block 3 is used. The block 3 is not required to have any hollow shape, and the block 3 does not need to be a hollow section material. In addition to resin, it is possible to use solid cross-section timber or glass.
Can be freely selected according to the installation location. In the case of the embodiment,
Since the entire cross section of the block 3 is hollow and the hollow portion 31 faces the length direction of the column 4, the column 4 is inserted into an arbitrary position within the width of the block 3.

In the embodiment, since the fence 1 is composed of the cross members 2 and 2 parallel to each other and the pillar 4 perpendicular to the fence, the vertical shape of the block 3 is rectangular. , 2 are not necessarily parallel and may be arranged at an angle to each other, and the elevational shape of the block 3 is determined by the arrangement of the cross members 2, 2.

Further, in the embodiment, in order to avoid exposing the support 4, the support 4 is inserted into the block 3 between the cross members 2, 2. However, since the arrangement position of the block 3 is not controlled by the position of the support 4, the block 4 is blocked. 3 may not intersect with pillar 4,
In that case, a support 4
Will be exposed.
