DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a method of constructing a gate post.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When installing a gate post at an entrance of a residential site, it is usual that the gate post is completed in a factory in advance and is carried to the site for construction. Stone and concrete gate pillars are heavy and require labor and labor for transportation. Therefore, it is said that those that are as light as possible and easy to construct are preferable.

In response to such a request, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 8-232567,
There is known a structure in which a plurality of columns are connected to form a predetermined shape, and a surface panel is attached to adjacent columns. As a result, since the inside becomes hollow, there is an advantage that a large-sized pillar can be manufactured at a lower cost than a pillar made of an extruded aluminum material, and since the weight is light, the transportation is facilitated.

[0004]

However, since the above-mentioned pillars are preassembled and presupposed to be erected at the construction site, a heavy-weight front panel cannot be used. When a heavy panel is used, a total of four panels are used in a square pillar-shaped gate post, so that the total weight increases and one worker cannot easily carry the panel. For this reason, the above-mentioned gate pillar is inevitably disadvantageous in that it lacks a heavy feeling and a heavy feeling like a stone or concrete gate pillar.

[0005] In addition, construction of a heavy pillar requires a large number of workers and also requires skill.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of constructing a gate post which can solve the above-mentioned drawbacks and which can construct a heavy gate post using a heavy panel even by one worker.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a gate post according to the present invention is constituted by connecting four posts by connecting metal fittings so as to form a square vertex, and forming a baseboard around a lower portion of the post. And panels are attached to adjacent columns, respectively, and each panel is connected to the upper part of the baseboard.

In the method of constructing a gate post according to the present invention, the four posts are connected by connecting metal fittings so as to form a rectangular vertex, and a baseboard is attached around a lower portion of the post. At least a part of the baseboard is buried so as to be hidden in the ground, and then panels are attached to adjacent columns, respectively, and each panel is connected to the upper part of the baseboard.

In this case, the lower part of the support may be buried in the ground after the panel is attached to the support.

[0010] It is preferable that the skirting board is screwed to the column, and the screw is fixed to a portion buried in the ground of the skirting board.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a gate post according to the present invention. The post is connected to four pillars 1 by connecting metal fittings 2 so as to form rectangular vertices. The skirting board 3 is attached to the skirting board, and the panels 16 are attached to the adjacent columns 1, respectively, and each panel 16 is connected to the upper part of the skirting board.

As described above, since the four pillars 1 are connected to the connecting pillar 2 and the baseboard 3 in the above-mentioned gate pillar, the pillar 1
Is strong enough to be self-sustaining. Therefore, the panels 16 can be attached to the adjacent columns 1 after the columns are erected, and the panels 16 can be put out on the ground by embedding the baseboard 3 in the ground. Can be easily performed.

When constructing the above-mentioned gate post, as shown in FIG. 2, first, four pillars 1 are connected by connecting metal fittings 2 so as to form a square vertex, and a baseboard 3 is formed around the lower part of the above-mentioned pillar. After the mounting, the columns 3 are buried so that at least a part of the baseboard 3 is hidden in the ground. Thereafter, panels 16 are mounted on the adjacent columns 1, respectively, and each panel 16 is connected to the upper part of the baseboard 3. By doing. Note that reference numeral 16A
Indicates a rear panel.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the column 1 is formed of an extruded material made of aluminum or an alloy thereof having a substantially rectangular cross section, and the corner 4 outside the diagonal line connecting the column 1 is formed.
Steps 5 are formed on the side surfaces adjacent to each other. A nut receiving groove 7 is formed in the inner corner portion inside the diagonal line connecting the columns 1 over the entire length. Further, a hinge mounting groove 8 is formed over the entire length of the support 1 on the back side of the support 1, and a step 5 is continuous from each hinge mounting groove 8.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the columns 1 are connected by connecting metal fittings 2 and further connected by baseboards 3. The connection fitting 2 is formed by assembling a slender metal plate material in a cross shape, and each end 2a is bent at a right angle. And nut receiving groove 7
The head of the bolt 9 is fitted to the
And the connecting fitting 2 is fixed by the nut 10. Thus, the columns 1 are connected to each other with a predetermined interval, and have sufficient strength to stand up as a whole.

The connecting fitting 2 may be a plate-like body as shown in FIG. 6, and the mounting procedure may be the same as that of the connecting fitting 2.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the baseboard 3 may be made of a casting or plate made of metal such as aluminum. A receiving portion 11 (see FIG. 4) having an L-shaped cross section is formed at the upper end of the baseboard 3. Each skirting board 3 is a pillar 1 adjacent to the back of both side edges
And is screwed with a screw 12 from the outside.
The mounting position of the skirting board 3 is such that at least a part of the skirting board 3 is buried in the ground when the column 1 is buried in the ground. Usually, the upper end of the skirting board 3 is substantially the same as or lower than the ground. Set it to a position that is slightly up. Each skirting board 3 abuts the back surface of both side edges on the step 5 of the adjacent column 1 and screws it from the outside.

Next, after the framework of the gate post is completed as described above, a foundation hole 13 is dug in the gate installation portion at the boundary between the inside and outside of the site of the house or the like according to a normal construction method as shown in FIG. After laying stones at the bottom of the foundation hole and placing foundation concrete on it, four pillars 1 are erected at the square corners set on the portal installation surface 14. Further, backfill concrete 15 is cast and hardened. Here, at least a portion of the baseboard 3 is buried so as to be hidden in the ground, and its upper end projects slightly upward from the surface of the backfill concrete. The screws of the baseboard 3 are buried underground.

After the pillars 1 are buried and fixed in concrete as described above, the panels 16 are attached to the adjacent pillars 1.
The panel 16 is preferably a cast panel made of aluminum or an alloy thereof with an appropriate design on the surface, but may be a heavy panel such as iron or copper. As shown in FIG. 9, two ridges 17 parallel to the longitudinal direction are formed on both left and right sides on the back side of the panel 16, and projections 18 having bolt holes are formed at upper and lower positions of each ridge 17. I have. A bolt 19 is screwed into the convex portion 18 in advance. The front panel 16 and the side panels 16 of the panel 16 have the above-described configuration, but the rear panel 16 does not necessarily need to be a casting, and may be a normal thin panel as shown in the figure. Note that a screw insertion hole 20 is formed in the rear panel 16A.

When attaching the panel 16 to the columns 1, the L-shaped bracket 21 is fixed at a height position corresponding to the bolt hole of the panel 16 inside each column 1. The L-shaped fitting 21 has a locking groove 22 that opens upward. The front panel 16 and both side panels 16 are each
6 and lift the bolt 19 on the back side to the L-shaped bracket 2
Hook into one of the locking grooves 22. At this time, each panel 16
The back surfaces of both side edges of the support abut on the step 5 of the column 1 as shown in FIG. Further, the lower end of the panel 16 contacts the receiving portion 11 at the upper end of the baseboard 3. As a result, the panel 16 is held at a predetermined position. Then, nuts 23 are attached to the respective bolts 19.
11, the panel 16 is firmly fixed to the column 1 as shown in FIG.

At the upper end, as shown in FIG.
4 is attached. A bolt 25 is fixed to the back side of the cap 24 so as to protrude downward. The bolt 25 is inserted into a mounting bracket 26 fixed to the upper end of the column 1, and is fixed with a nut 27 from the inside.

Finally, as shown in FIG.
6A is brought into contact with the step 5 of the column 1 on the rear side, and is fixed by screws from the outside. The upper end of each panel 16 is engaged with the inside of the edge of the cap 24. As a result, the bolts 25 for fixing the panel 16 and the cap 24 on the front, left and right side surfaces are not exposed to the surface of the gate post at all. The upper end of each panel 16 is held by a cap 24.

By the above-described construction steps, a gate pillar as shown in FIG. 14 is completed.

Next, when the gate 27 is mounted on the gate post assembled as described above as shown in FIG. 15, one of the two hinge mounting grooves 8 located on the back side is used.
In this case, as shown in FIG. 16, the pedestal 28 may be attached to the attachment groove 8, the hinge fitting 29 may be attached to the pedestal 28, and then the gate 27 may be attached to the hinge fitting 29. Mounting groove 8
Is formed over the entire length of the column 1, so that the upper and lower mounting positions of the pedestal 28 can be freely selected, and it is necessary to make a hole in the panel 16 for inserting the fixing bolt of the hinge fitting 29. Absent. In addition, since the hinge mounting grooves 8 are formed on the left and right sides on the back side of the gate post, it is not necessary to perform the operation again even if the mounting position of the left and right of the gate post is mistaken.

The step 5 of the column 1 and the hinge mounting groove 8 are formed so as to be continuous laterally, and the rear panel 16A is configured so as not to overlap with the hinge mounting groove 8, so that the gate 27 is fixed. Panel 16A on the back side even when hung
Can be removed. Therefore, maintenance work inside the gate post can be easily performed. For the same reason, the rear panel 16A can be attached after attaching the gate 27 to the hinge fitting.

When the gate posts are constructed, the baseboard 3 is attached around the lower portion of the columns 1, and the panels 16 (16A) are attached to the adjacent columns 1, respectively.
After A) is connected to the upper part of the baseboard 3, the lower part of the column 1 may be buried underground.

[0027]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the four pillars are connected to the connecting bracket by the baseboard, the pillars have sufficient strength to be able to stand on their own. For this reason, a gate post can be manufactured by attaching a panel to each adjacent post after erecting the post.

Further, when the lower part of the support is buried in the ground, the baseboard is taken out of the ground so that each panel can be connected to the baseboard and integrated with each other, so that the panel can be easily attached to the support. Can be done.

According to the second or third aspect of the present invention, since the panels are attached one by one to the pillars connected by the connecting bracket and the skirting board, even if the panels themselves are heavy, they can be attached one by one. If only one person can handle it sufficiently, a single worker can assemble a heavy and solid feeling pillar, and the construction can be completed almost simultaneously with the assembling.

Further, since the baseboard is attached to the lower part of the four connected pillars and a part of the baseboard is buried underground, the pillar 1 can be firmly fixed underground. At the same time, since the panel is continuous on the baseboard, the panel can be easily attached to the column, and there is no gap between the panel and the ground.

According to the invention of claim 4, in addition to the effect of the invention of claim 2 or 3, even if the skirting board is on the ground, the screws are not exposed, so that the skirting board does not impair the appearance.
