[0016]
FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the entire fixture fixing member 16 for supporting fixtures such as a small table 22 (see FIG. 1) and electrical equipment, and includes two cradles 16a for screwing the fixture. A bolt hole 16b for fixing the fixture member 16 to the pole 3 is formed by 16a and a bolt 18 (see FIG. 8).
[0017]
FIG. 8 is a partially enlarged view showing a state in which the small table fixing member 16 is coupled to the pole 3. The convex receiving member 17 is slidably fitted into the groove portion 9, and at a desired height, The receiving member 17 and the fixture fixing member 16 are clamped between the engaging pieces 10 formed in the groove portion 9 by bolts 18 and fixed to the pole 3. Such a coupling means is almost the same as the method for coupling and fixing the frame receiving member 11 and the frame fastening portion 12 to the pole 3 described above, but what is important during assembly is that before the frame member 4 is assembled. It is necessary to slide the receiving member 17 into the groove portion 9 in advance from above (if the base member 2 is attached to the pole 3, it can be slid from below).
[0018]
The construction method for constructing the shared space structure 1 of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 will be described. First, four base members 2 are placed at predetermined positions on the floor 7 that defines the outline of the shared space structure 1. 2 is installed while adjusting the adjuster 8 shown in FIG. 2 so that the levelness can be maintained even if the floor is slightly deformed or inclined. Next, the base ends of the four poles 3a to 3d are fixed to the base member 2 by screw members 2a inserted from the floor 7 side of the base member 2 to the pole 3 side, and the four poles 3 are brought into a vertical state. Make them independent. It is also possible to use a base member 2 and a pole 3 integrated in advance. The base 2 of the pole 3b is larger than the other base members 2, but this is only a large size to support the table 20, and it is structurally not different from the other three base members 2. .
[0019]
After the four poles 3 are self-supporting vertically, the receiving member 17 is slidably engaged with the groove 9 from the upper end of the pole 3 and lowered to a desired height position, and the fixture member 16 for the fixture is tightened by the bolt 18 as described above. It is attached and fixed to the pole 3 by the method. In this case, the receiving member 17 and the fixture fixing member 16 may be temporarily fixed with the bolt 18 in advance, and then the receiving member 17 may be fitted into the groove portion 9 from the upper end of the pole 3. The fixture is placed on the cradle 16a, 16a of the fixture fixing member 16 and screwed. Needless to say, the fixture member 16 may be attached after the frame member 4 described later. However, it is necessary to pay attention because the direction of the fixture is determined depending on which groove portion 9 is slidably engaged. The frame member 4 is attached to the upper end of the pole. The locking head 11a having a shape larger than the groove 9 is formed above the groove 9 in which the frame receiving member 11 attached to both ends of the frame member 4 is formed on the pole 3. 3 until it engages with the upper end of the frame 3, the frame fastening member 12 and the frame receiving member 11 are screwed together with two bolts 13 to sandwich the locking piece 10, Fixing to pole 3 ends.
[0020]
Finally, the top cap 15 is fixed to the top of the pole 3 by screwing a threaded male screw 15X provided at the center of the bottom with a female thread 3X formed at the center of the top of the pole 3. Since the top cap 15 covers the groove 9 from above, even if the connection between the pole 3 and the frame member 4 can be loosened, the locking head portion 11a of the receiving member 11 is held by the top cap 15, The frame member 4 can be prevented from coming out upward.
[0021]
Both the receiving member 17 and the frame receiving member 11 are convex so that they can be slidably engaged with the groove 9 formed in the pole 3 in the above-described embodiment. An engaging recess that can be slidably engaged with the protrusion formed on the pole may be formed on the receiving member and the frame receiving member side. In this embodiment, the shared space structure using four poles has been described. However, the number of the shared space structures is not limited to four, and a plurality of three or more may be used depending on the size of the shared space structure.
[0022]
After that, according to the purpose of use of the shared space structure, an accessory is arranged to make it easy to use. In the example shown in FIG. 1, pots for foliage plants are placed on the small table 22, but it is used on the pole 3 so that electric devices including a TV and a personal computer can be used on the small table 22. It is also possible to wire the power supply line 19 to the small table 22 by using the not-grooved groove portion 9 as a route for the wiring.
[0023]
As another modification, as shown in FIG. 1, when an electric device such as a lighting fixture 21 is provided at the uppermost end of the pole 3b, the unused groove portion 9 formed in the pole 3 is similarly wired. It is also possible to supply electric power by wiring the electric power supply line 19 along the groove portion 9 to an electric device such as the illuminator 21 attached to the tip of the pole.
[0024]
