Description

The present invention relates to a lattice fence. More specifically, the present invention relates to a lattice fence installed at the boundary of a site or the like.

A lattice fence is a construction material that is constructed by attaching multiple vertical lattices to multiple horizontal edges placed above and below, and allows the lattice fences to be connected to each other. Fence equipment installed at the boundary of a property.
However, in conventional lattice fences, vertical lattices are not attached to the ends of the horizontal edges so that the lattice fences can be connected to each other. As a result, the ends of the lattice fence at both ends of the fence equipment had a poor appearance because the horizontal edges appeared to protrude. Furthermore, when vertical lattices were attached to the ends of the lattice fence, the intervals between the vertical lattices were uneven, resulting in poor appearance.
Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the conventional techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 have been proposed.

The fence equipment of Patent Document 1 uses a lattice fence in which a plurality of vertical lattices are attached between the upper and lower horizontal edges, and the upper and lower horizontal edges of the lattice fences can be freely angled by connecting members having rotating parts. It is installed connected to the The rotating part is one that can change the connection angle in the vertical plane or one that can change the connection angle in the horizontal plane. Since it would be unattractive if the space without the vertical grid expands in the connecting part, the auxiliary vertical grid is arranged between the upper and lower rotating parts. The auxiliary vertical lattice has its upper and lower ends attached to the upper and lower horizontal edges using L-shaped metal fittings.

However, with this prior art, the vertical dimensions of the auxiliary vertical lattice are short, making it appear lower than other vertical lattices, resulting in poor appearance. Furthermore, the L-shaped metal fittings used to attach the auxiliary vertical lattice did not have sufficient strength to attach the auxiliary vertical lattice.

The fence equipment of Patent Document 2 uses a lattice fence in which a plurality of vertical lattices are attached to the front side of the upper and lower horizontal edges, and the upper and lower horizontal edges of the lattice fences are connected to each other by a connecting member having a rotating part to adjust the angle. They can be freely connected and installed. As the rotating part, one that can change the connection angle between the vertical plane and the horizontal plane is used. Then, in order to make the rotating part located at the connecting part invisible from the outside, the corner auxiliary vertical grid is connected to the adjacent vertical grid using horizontally extending rod-shaped fixtures, so that the corner auxiliary vertical grid is placed at the connecting part. ing.

However, in this prior art, the rotating part is placed on the back of the corner auxiliary vertical grid to improve the appearance, but depending on the viewing position, the rotating part may not be located on the back of the corner auxiliary vertical grid. I can't say it looks good. Further, since the corner auxiliary vertical grid is supported by the adjacent vertical grid only by rod-shaped fixtures, the mounting strength of the corner auxiliary grid is not sufficient.

(First embodiment)
The lattice fence 1 and the fence equipment A will be explained based on FIGS. 1 to 3.
The fence equipment A of the first embodiment includes a lattice fence 1 and a general fence 3.

The general fence 3 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has an upper horizontal fence 11 and a lower horizontal fence 12, which are horizontal fences, and a plurality of vertical fences on the front side (the side visible from the outside of the site). Grids 13 are installed vertically at regular intervals. Further, the upper lateral furring 11 and the lower lateral furring 12 are attached to the front side of the column 14. The pillar 14 is fixed by a concrete foundation 15 constructed underground.
In addition, in the present invention (all embodiments), the "horizontal rim" is a member that constitutes the fence, and after installing a plurality of vertical lattices, it is attached to the posts so that it is almost horizontal to the installation surface. Installed. In a fence, at least two upper and lower horizontal edges are used, and three or more may be used depending on the size of the fence.

In the general fence 3 of the first embodiment, in order to be able to connect with the lattice fence 1 or other general fences 3, the lateral ends of the horizontal edges are located outside the outermost vertical lattice 13 (in the lateral direction). located at the edge). Specifically, the lateral ends of the horizontal furring edges are located outside the outermost vertical lattices 13 by about half the lateral length between the vertical lattices 13 .

The lattice fence 1 according to the present invention has the basic configuration of the general fence 3, and has the following configuration added.
End lateral edges 21 and 22 are connected to one end (right end in FIG. 1A) of the upper lateral edge 11 and lower lateral edge 12, which are the lateral edges of the lattice fence 1, respectively. One end vertical lattice 23 is vertically attached to the horizontal furring edges 21 and 22. Further, a resin cap is attached to the end of the end horizontal furring edges 21 and 22 on the side where the horizontal furring edges 11 and 12 are not connected. Note that the same number of "end lateral furring edges" as the lateral furring edges are used.

It is preferable that the end lateral edges 21 and 22 have the same external shape as the lateral edges 11 and 12 (the shape seen from the outside not including the lateral length), and it is more preferable that they have the same cross-sectional shape. .
Moreover, it is more preferable that the end horizontal furrings 21, 22 and the horizontal furrings 11, 12 have a structure having a cavity inside.
The materials of the end horizontal furrings 21, 22 and the horizontal furrings 11, 12 are not particularly limited, but include metals such as aluminum and stainless steel, resins, and the like. In terms of properties such as workability, weather resistance, and corrosion resistance, extruded aluminum shapes are preferred.

To connect the end horizontal furrings 21, 22 to the horizontal furrings 11, 12, insert the connecting member 24 into the end horizontal furrings 21, 22 and the ends of the horizontal furrings 11, 12, and then screw This is done by screwing together the screws 25. The shape of the connecting member 24 is not particularly limited as long as it can connect the end horizontal edges 21, 22 and the horizontal edges 11, 12, and may be rectangular and hollow, U-shaped, or L-shaped. , plate-shaped ones. From the viewpoint of increasing the connection strength between the end lateral furrows 21, 22 and the lateral furrows 11, 12, rectangular and hollow ones are preferred. Further, the connecting member 24 can be an extruded shape of metal such as aluminum or stainless steel, and is preferably an extruded shape of aluminum.
The end vertical lattice 23 can be attached to the end horizontal rims 21, 22 by using screws from the back side of the end lateral rims 21, 22, in the same way as the vertical lattice 13 to the horizontal rims 11, 12. This is done by screwing together.

In this embodiment, the end horizontal furring edges 21, 22 have the same cross-sectional shape as the horizontal furring edges 11, 12, so that the end horizontal furring edges 21, 22 have the same extruded shape as the horizontal furring edges 11, 12. can be manufactured. Further, the connecting member 24 can be manufactured from a connecting member used when connecting general fences 3 to each other. Therefore, the number of parts can be reduced and productivity can also be improved.
Moreover, since the end horizontal furrings 21 and 22 are made of members having the same cross-sectional shape as the horizontal furrings 11 and 12, the strength of attaching the end vertical lattice 23 is increased. Furthermore, by having the same external shape or cross-sectional shape as the horizontal furring edges 11 and 12, the end horizontal furring edges 21 and 22 have the same appearance as the horizontal furring edges 11 and 12, and can express the unity of the design. The fence will look better.

The spacing between the plurality of vertical grids 13, 13 attached to the horizontal furrings 11, 12 is the same. One end vertical lattice 23 is vertically attached to the end horizontal furrings 21 and 22. The interval between the end vertical lattice 23 and the adjacent vertical lattice 13 is not particularly limited, but it is preferably the same as or close to the interval between the plurality of vertical lattices 13, 13. By doing so, it is possible to realize a fence equipment A with good appearance in which the intervals between all the grids (including the vertical grids 13 and the end vertical grids 23) are uniform.

The horizontal lengths of the end horizontal furrings 21 and 22 (the length in the left-right direction in FIG. The length may be approximately 20 to 100 mm, preferably 50 to 80 mm. More preferably, the length is the sum of half the interval (horizontal length) between the vertical lattices 13, 13 and the lateral length of the end vertical lattice.

Preferably, the end vertical lattice 23 has the same dimensions as the vertical lattice 13 attached to the horizontal furrings 11,12. The same dimensions here refer to length in the vertical direction (length in the vertical direction in Figure 1 (A)), length in the horizontal direction, and length in the depth direction (length in the vertical direction in Figure 1 (B)). ) are of the same size. If the end vertical lattice 23 has the same dimensions as the vertical lattice 13, the uniformity of the design can be expressed and the appearance will be improved. Furthermore, the number of parts can be reduced and productivity can also be improved.

According to the lattice fence 1 of this embodiment, the end vertical lattice 23 is attached to the end horizontal furrings 21, 22 connected to the horizontal furrings 11, 12. Since the ends do not appear to be protruding, the appearance of the lattice fence 1 is improved.

(Second embodiment)
The lattice fence 1 and the fence equipment B will be explained based on FIGS. 4 to 6.
The fence equipment B of the second embodiment is composed of a lattice fence 1 and a general fence 3. The lattice fence 1 and the general fence 3 in the second embodiment differ from the first embodiment in that the vertical lattice 13 is attached between the upper and lower horizontal edges 11 and 12. Note that the rest of the configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, so the same or corresponding members will be described with the same reference numerals.

In the lattice fence 1 according to the present invention, end lateral edges 21 and 22 are connected to one end (the right end in FIG. 4A) of an upper lateral edge 11 and a lower lateral edge 12, respectively. One end vertical lattice 23 is vertically attached between the upper and lower end horizontal furrings 21 and 22.

The fence equipment B and the lattice fence 1 of the second embodiment are different from those of the first embodiment in terms of the attachment position of the vertical lattice 13 to the horizontal edges 11 and 12 and the position of the end vertical lattice 23 to the end horizontal edges 21 and 22. The only difference is the mounting position, but the other configurations are the same. Therefore, the effects achieved by the fence equipment A and the lattice fence 1 of the first embodiment are also achieved by the fence equipment B and the lattice fence 1 of the second embodiment.

(Third embodiment)
The structure of fence equipment C will be explained based on FIGS. 7 to 9.
The fence equipment C of the third embodiment includes the lattice fence 1 of the present invention, the general fence 3, and a connecting member 30 in addition to these.

FIG. 7 shows the area around the connecting member 30 in a state where the general fence 3 is installed on a slope in the fence equipment C. In the illustrated lattice fence 1, connecting members 30 are attached in place of the resin caps attached to the end lateral edges 21 and 22 in the lattice fence 1 of the first embodiment.
Although FIG. 7A shows only the upper part of the fence equipment C and does not show the lower part, it has the same structure as the upper part.

A general fence 3 is installed adjacent to the right side of the lattice fence 1. The end lateral edges 21 and 22 of the lattice fence 1 and the lateral edges 11 and 12 of the general fence 3 are connected to each other by a connecting member 30.
The connecting member 30 consists of one connector 31 and the other connector 32, and the connecting angle between the connector 31 and the connector 32, the connecting angle between the connector 31 and the end horizontal edges 21 and 22, and the connecting angle between the connector 31 and the connector 32, The connecting angles of the horizontal furrings 11 and 12 are configured to be changeable. In other words, the connecting member 30 is a member that allows changing the connecting angle in the vertical plane and in the horizontal plane.

The fence equipment C shown in FIG. 7 is one in which the angle is changed in the vertical plane, and the general fence 3 is inclined and connected to the lattice fence 1. That is, FIG. 7 shows an example in which the lattice fence 1 is installed on a flat land and the general fence 3 is installed on a slope.

Next, an example in which the fence equipment C is installed on a flat area will be explained.
FIG. 8 shows an example in which the fence equipment C is installed in a straight line (shown by a solid line) and an example in which it is installed at a projecting corner (shown by a dotted line).
If the lattice fence 1 and the general fence 3 are connected in a straight line using the connecting material 30, they can be installed on a straight line part of the site.
The connecting member 30 connecting the lattice fence 1 and the general fence 3 is the same as that shown in FIG. 7, and the connecting angle can be changed even in the horizontal plane.

If the general fence 3 is connected to the lattice fence 1 at a position rotated in the direction of arrow Z from the solid line position to the dotted line position, the fence equipment C can be installed on a site with a projecting corner shape. Since the connecting member 30 can change the connecting angle in the horizontal plane, the connecting angle between the lattice fence 1 and the general fence 3 can be set freely to some extent. Further, since the end vertical lattice 23 is arranged in the immediate vicinity of the connecting members 30, the connecting members 30 do not stand out, making it possible to provide a continuous and good-looking fence facility.

FIG. 9 shows an example in which the fence equipment C is installed in an inner corner (indicated by dotted lines).
If the general fence 3 is connected to the lattice fence 1 at a position rotated in the arrow direction Y from the solid line position to the dotted line position, the fence equipment C can be installed in a corner-shaped site. Since the connecting member 30 can change the connecting angle in the horizontal plane, the connecting angle between the lattice fence 1 and the general fence 3 can be set freely to some extent.

As described above, in the fence equipment C, by connecting the lattice fence 1 and the general fence 3 at an arbitrary angle using the connecting members 30, it is possible to construct a fence equipment according to the shape of the site.

(Fourth embodiment)
The structure of fence equipment D will be explained based on FIGS. 10 to 12.
The fence equipment D of the fourth embodiment has a configuration in which the end horizontal edges 21 and 22 of the adjacent lattice fences 1 and 2 of the present invention are connected to each other by a connecting member 30. Similar to the lattice fence 1, the lattice fence 2 has end lateral edges 21 and 22 connected to one end of the lateral edges 11 and 12 (the left end in the figure), and a front side of the end lateral edges 21 and 22. One end vertical lattice 23 is attached vertically. The other configurations are similar to the third embodiment.

FIG. 10 shows the area around the connecting member 30 of the fence equipment D in a state where the lattice fence 2 is installed on a slope.
Although FIG. 10A shows only the upper part of the fence equipment D and does not show the lower part, it has the same structure as the upper part.

The connecting member 30 shown in FIG. 10 is the same as that of the third embodiment.
Moreover, the fence equipment D shown in FIG. 10 is one in which the angle is changed within the vertical plane, and the lattice fence 2 is inclined and connected to the lattice fence 1. That is, FIG. 10 shows an example in which the lattice fence 1 is installed on a flat land and the lattice fence 2 is installed on a slope.

Next, an example in which the fence equipment D is installed on a flat area will be explained.
FIG. 11 shows an example in which the fence equipment D is installed in a straight line (shown by a solid line) and an example in which it is installed at a projecting corner (shown by a dotted line).
If the lattice fence 1 and the lattice fence 2 are connected in a straight line using the connecting material 30, they can be installed on a straight line part of the site.
The connecting member 30 connecting the lattice fence 1 and the lattice fence 2 is the same as that shown in FIG. 10, and the connection angle can be changed even in the horizontal plane.

When the lattice fence 2 is connected to the lattice fence 1 at a position rotated in the direction of arrow Z from the solid line position to the dotted line position, the fence equipment D can be installed on a site with a protruding corner shape by the lattice fence 1 and the lattice fence 2. Since the connecting member 30 can change the connecting angle in the horizontal plane, the connecting angle between the lattice fence 1 and the lattice fence 2 can be set freely to some extent. Further, since the end vertical lattice 23 is arranged in the immediate vicinity of the connecting members 30, the connecting members 30 do not stand out, making it possible to provide a continuous and good-looking fence facility.

FIG. 12 shows an example in which the fence equipment D is installed in an inner corner (indicated by dotted lines).
If the lattice fence 2 is connected to the lattice fence 1 at a position rotated in the direction of the arrow Y from the solid line position to the dotted line position, the fence D can be installed in a corner-shaped site. Since the connecting member 30 can change the connecting angle in the horizontal plane, the connecting angle between the lattice fence 1 and the lattice fence 2 can be set freely to some extent.

(Fifth embodiment)
The structure of the fence equipment E will be explained based on FIG. 13.
Fence equipment E is one in which a lattice fence 1 and a general fence 3 are simply butted against each other and installed at a protruding corner without connecting them with a connecting member 30.
Even in this case, if the lattice fence 1 and the general fence 3 are installed butt against each other in accordance with the site having a projecting corner shape, the fence equipment D can be installed at the projecting corner.
Further, although not shown, in the fence equipment E, the lattice fence 2 of the present invention may be used instead of the general fence 3.
Furthermore, by adjusting the angle at which they are installed against each other, it is possible to accommodate sites with corner-shaped sites.

The lattice fences 1 and 2 used in the above-mentioned fence equipment A to E can be connected to the vertical lattice 13 by attaching the end vertical lattice 23 to the end horizontal rims 21 and 22 connected to the horizontal rims 11 and 12. A sufficient distance between the end vertical grids 23 can be ensured and the intervals can be made uniform. Therefore, the fence facilities A to E of the present invention have a continuous design and look good.
