DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wooden pile for gardening and landscaping, and more particularly to a wooden pile suitable for surrounding a flower bed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, wood, stone, brick, concrete block, and the like have been used to surround a flowerbed.
Wood and stone are heavily used, especially in Japanese-style flower beds. In the case of wood, a pile-shaped thing is used.
Many stakes are formed by cutting thinned wood to an appropriate length and shaving its tip into the soil so that it can be easily driven into the soil.

When such wooden piles are used, for example, as a continuous pile for surrounding the periphery of a flower bed, a large number of wooden piles are driven one by one into the soil one by one, and are formed into an outer shape such as a circle, an ellipse, and a rectangle. It is common to make an enclosure.

[0004] Then, the surface of the pile is burned, painted, or coated with a chemical solution to prevent insects and preservation. Moreover, like a wooden pile described in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 2-102935, a notch is provided in the length direction to improve penetration of a chemical solution into the inside, and to prevent occurrence of cracks and improve decorativeness. There is also.

[0005]

When a single wooden pile as described above is used, for example, as an enclosure for a flower bed, a large number of piles must be sequentially picked up one by one and driven. Is extremely complicated.

[0006] In this regard, as described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-60328, a continuous pile in which piles of the same size are connected to each other with a stranded wire and a nail is connected with several continuous piles to form an annular enclosure.
By placing soil inside the enclosure, a flowerbed is completed, which has the advantage of greatly improving workability.

However, the continuous pile described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-60328 has a configuration in which the flat portions of a semicircular pile obtained by dividing a log into two are connected to each other with a rope, and the arc portion is bent. Since the range that can be bent when bending in the direction inside is narrow, there is a drawback that when the planar shape of the enclosure is desired to be complicated, the shape is restricted. Also, there is still room for improvement in trying to get as many piles as possible using the same amount of wood.

The problem to be solved in the present invention is that it is easy to form a complicated plane-shaped enclosure in a wooden pile used for enclosing a flower bed, to reduce the amount of wood used, and to excel in design. To get a wooden pile.

[0009]

A wooden pile according to the present invention comprises a pile body formed by dividing a log into four parts and forming a partial circle having a central angle of about 90 degrees in a plan view, and forming a circular arc portion of an adjacent pile body. It is characterized in that a plurality of pile bodies are connected to each other through a cord-like body in through holes provided in at least two places in the length direction of the pile body, with the end portions being connected to each other.

In the wooden pile of the present invention, by dividing a log into four parts, the shape of the pile body in a plan view is made to be a partial circular shape having a center angle of substantially 90 degrees, so that adjacent pile bodies in a connected state are connected to each other. When bending, especially when bending in the direction where the arc part is inside the bend, the range of interference between the arc parts of adjacent pile bodies is narrow, so the bendable range is wide,
When the plane shape of the enclosure is complicated, the degree of freedom in design is increased.

Further, since the shape of the pile body in a plan view is a shape obtained by dividing a log into four parts, it can be seen freshly by a person familiar with a general circular or semicircular shape, and an enclosure excellent in design can be formed. Can be. Furthermore, by dividing a log into four,
Since four logs can be obtained from one log, the material can be saved.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a wooden pile showing a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a part of a flowerbed enclosure using the wooden pile of FIG. .

The wooden pile 10 of the present embodiment has a plurality of pile bodies formed by dividing a long log into four parts, cutting the log into a predetermined length, and forming a partial circle having a central angle of approximately 90 degrees in a plan view. 11
End portions 13 of the arc portions 12 of the adjacent pile bodies 11 are arranged in a connected state, and are connected to the through holes 14 provided at two places in the length direction of the pile bodies 11 through hemp ropes 30. Note that FIG. 1 shows only a part of the connected wooden piles 10.

When the wooden bed 10 is used to form a flowerbed enclosure, a groove (not shown) is dug along a predetermined outline of the enclosure and connected to a length corresponding to the length of the enclosure. The lower part of the wooden pile 10 is placed in the groove, and the groove is filled with soil to fix the wooden pile 10. Then, the soil is piled up inside the wooden pile 10 so that an enclosure 4 as shown in FIG.
0 is completed.

The wooden pile 10 has a cross-sectional shape obtained by dividing a circle into four parts, and when the arc part is bent in a direction in which the arc is on the inside of the bend, the range in which the arc parts of adjacent pile bodies interfere with each other is narrow. As shown in FIG. 2, the enclosure 40 can be made in a complicated shape.

In the enclosure 40 shown in FIG. 2, the enclosure 40 is formed so that the arc portion of the wooden stake 10 is on the outside. On the contrary, the enclosure 40 has the arc portion on the inside.
Can also be made.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a wooden pile showing a second embodiment of the present invention. The wooden pile 20 of the present embodiment is
It is the same as the wooden pile 10 except that an inclined surface is formed at the upper end of the wooden pile 10 of the embodiment. That is, the wooden pile 20
Is to cut a long log into four parts and cut it into a certain length. One end is cut obliquely at an angle of about 45 degrees to form an inclined surface 25. A plurality of pile bodies 21 formed in a circular plan view shape are arranged in a state where ends 23 of arc portions 22 of adjacent pile bodies 21 are connected to each other, and pile bodies 2
It is connected to a through hole 24 provided at two locations in the length direction of the same 1 through a hemp rope 30.

The wooden stake 20 of this embodiment is also the wooden stake 1 of FIG.
It can be used to make flowerbed enclosures in the same way as 0. In the case of this wooden pile 20, since the inclined surface 25 is formed at the upper end, a flower bed having a different atmosphere from the flower bed made using the wooden pile 10 of FIG. 1 can be made. Moreover, it can also be used in combination with the wooden pile 10 of FIG.

As described above, the wooden piles 10 and 20 are each divided into four logs so that the shape of the pile bodies 11 and 21 in plan view is a partial circular shape with a central angle of approximately 90 degrees, thereby providing a flower bed. When used for an enclosure or the like, the degree of freedom in designing when the plane shape of the enclosure is complicated is increased, and an enclosure with a novel design can be created. Further, by dividing the log into four, four pile main bodies 11 and 21 can be obtained from one log, so that the material can be saved.

[0020]

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) When the log is divided into four parts, the shape of the pile body in a plan view is a partial circular shape with a center angle of approximately 90 degrees, so that adjacent pile bodies connected to each other are bent. Especially when bending in the direction where the arc part is inside the bend, the range where the arc part of the adjacent pile body interferes is narrow, so the bendable range is wide, and when making the plane shape of the enclosure complex, The degree of freedom in design increases.

(2) Since the shape of the pile body in plan view is a shape obtained by dividing a log into four parts, it is freshly seen by a person familiar with a general circular or semicircular shape, and an enclosure excellent in design is made. be able to.

(3) By dividing a log into four parts, four pile bodies can be obtained from one log, so that the material can be saved.
