【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a gardening box according to an embodiment. 1 (1a, 1b) is a panel having four surfaces, 2 is a decorative member attached to the surface, and 3 is a connection which connects four panels at corners. The fittings 4 are screws used for the connecting fitting 3.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing one panel, FIG. 3 is a front view of the same panel, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. Is a screw hole. That is, the panel 1 has a rectangular shape formed by folding four sides of a metal plate such as a stainless steel plate. As shown in FIG. 4, the upper side is folded twice at 90 degrees to form a horizontal upper side rib 11 and a vertical upper side ahead. A rib 12 is formed, and a bottom rib 13 is formed by turning once in the horizontal direction. In addition, a 180-degree turn at the tip and a stiffening rib in the middle of the rib are also formed as appropriate.

In FIG. 3, the height of the rectangular shape of the panel 1 is, for example, 240 mm. On the other hand, various dimensions such as 355mm, 530mm, and 875mm are prepared for the length in the left-right direction. By appropriately combining them, a gardening box having an arbitrary size can be formed. FIG. 5 is a perspective view illustrating an example of an attachment structure of the decorative member 2 attached to the surface of the panel 1. The decorative member 2 is formed by press-forming a metal plate into a shallow rectangular container shape, and is provided with a short folded portion 21 which is extended at an appropriate place around the bent portion. On the other hand, since a slit 14 into which the fold 21 is inserted is formed at a predetermined position of the panel 1, the fold 21 is inserted into the slit 14 as shown in FIG. The decorative member 2 can be attached to the surface of the panel 1 by appropriately folding the folded portion 21.

In this embodiment, since the shape and the color tone of the decorative member 2 are brick-like, the aspect ratio of the rectangle is almost the same as that of the brick, and a half of the end portion has a half length. Although the atmosphere of a flower bed made of brickwork is created, the decorative member 2 to be attached to the surface of the panel 1 is not limited to the brick tone, and various other designs are possible. In addition, the material is not limited to processed metal sheets, and plastics, tiles, and various other materials can be used. However, in the case other than the metal plate, it is necessary to provide a folded portion similar to that shown in FIG.

Next, a connection structure between the panels 1 will be described. FIG. 6 is a horizontal cross-sectional view showing the vicinity of a corner of the gardening box of the embodiment. The connecting bracket 3 has a W-shape in which a flat bar is alternately bent three times at 90 degrees three times in order to escape the folded portions at both ends of the adjacent panels 1a and 1b. The ends are fixed with screws 4, and the ends in the height direction of the adjacent panels 1a and 1b are connected at right angles.

FIG. 7 is a partial sectional view showing various fixing structures of the panel 1 and the connection fitting 3 by screws. As shown in FIG. 3, the screw holes 15 of the panel 1 are provided at two positions, one at the top and the other at the both ends, at positions just hidden by the decorative member 2. (A) is the same as that shown in FIG. 6, but a tap is made in the screw hole of the connection fitting 3, and the screw 4 is screwed in from the front side of the panel 1 and tightened. Therefore, the decorative member 2 in this portion needs to be left so as to be attached after the screwing is completed. If the decorative member 2 is covered after screwing, the mounting screw is covered and invisible.

FIG. 2B shows a structure in which a bolt hole of the connection fitting 3 is a loose hole, a nut 5 is joined to the outside of the screw hole of the panel 1 by welding or the like, and the screw 4 is screwed in from the inside. . Also, (c) shows that the bolt hole of the connection fitting 3 is a loose hole, the screw hole of the panel 1 is tapped, and the screw 4 is screwed in from the inside. In both cases (b) and (c), since the screwing is performed from the inside, the decorative member 2 can be all attached in advance, and since the tip of the screw is on the back side of the decorative member 2, it is completely visible from the exterior. Absent.

By connecting the four panels 1 in this manner, a gardening box can be easily made. This can be placed directly on the garden soil and used as a flower bed, but if necessary, a bottom plate such as a wooden board can be placed inside using the bottom rib 13 of the panel 1 and the soil can be placed in the gardening box. They may be planted with flowers or plant pots or planters instead of soil and placed on the veranda.
