Description

The present invention relates to a mounting structure for vertical lattices that are attached to vertical members such as gate posts and vertical gate frames.

Conventionally, there is known a gate unit in which a gate post decorative member or gate decorative member, which has multiple hollow vertical lattices fixed to a horizontal member, is attached to the pillars or vertical frames of a gate (see Patent Document 1). In this gate unit, the vertical lattices are not attached directly to the pillars or vertical frames, but are attached to the outdoor side of the pillars or vertical frames via the horizontal member.

JP 2009-228279 A

Incidentally, in the gate unit described in Patent Document 1, the vertical lattice is attached to vertical members such as pillars and vertical frames via horizontal members, so the out-of-plane dimensions become larger because the horizontal members are placed between the vertical lattice and the vertical members.
Here, it is possible to reduce the out-of-plane dimensions by directly attaching the vertical grille to the vertical members without using a horizontal member. For example, when attaching the vertical grille directly to the vertical members using fixing screws, the fixing screws of the vertical members must be passed through from the indoor side, and holes for the fixing screws may be exposed to the outside, which is undesirable from a design perspective. As an example of a mounting structure for a vertical grille in which the above-mentioned holes are not exposed to the outside, a stepped screw or the like is provided by protruding the vertical members, while a wedge member itself is driven into the upper and lower ends of the hollow vertical grille to engage with the stepped screws.
However, as mentioned above, when attaching the vertical grille directly to the vertical members using the wedge members, the vertical grille must be held in place while the wedge members are being driven in. This makes the installation of the vertical grille time-consuming and makes it difficult to improve workability.

The object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for vertical lattices that can improve the ease of mounting the vertical lattices to vertical members.

The mounting structure of the vertical lattice of the present invention is composed of a vertical member having a mounting surface along the longitudinal direction, and a hollow vertical lattice having a mounting surface that abuts against the mounting surface, the mounting surface of the vertical member is provided with a protruding portion having a shaft protruding from the mounting surface and a swollen head formed at the tip of the shaft, the swollen head having a width dimension larger than that of the shaft, the mounting surface of the vertical lattice is provided with a hole through which the protruding portion is inserted, the hole has an insertion hole through which the swollen head is inserted and a long hole extending from the insertion hole and in which the shaft portion is disposed, A wedge member that engages with the protrusion is disposed within the vertical lattice, and the wedge member has a wedge body portion fixed to the mounting surface portion, a wedge insertion hole formed in the wedge body portion and through which the enlarged head portion is inserted, a wedge groove portion extending from the wedge insertion hole and in which the shaft portion is disposed, and a pressure contact portion that protrudes from the wedge body portion toward the side away from the vertical member in the out-of-plane direction, and the pressure contact portion is disposed so that, with the shaft portion disposed in the wedge groove portion, it is pressure-contacted against the enlarged head portion toward the side away from the vertical member in the out-of-plane direction.

The present invention provides a mounting structure for vertical lattices that can improve the ease of mounting the vertical lattices to vertical members.

[First embodiment]
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 and 2 is a double-leaf gate 1, and includes a gate post 2 (vertical member) erected on the ground, and a gate body 3 supported so as to be able to open and close by the gate post 2. The gate post 2 is formed of an aluminum shaped member having a hollow rectangular cross section, and has a mounting surface 21 which is a visible surface facing the outdoors, and a vertical lattice 4D configured similarly to a vertical lattice 4C described later is attached to the mounting surface 21. The door body 3 is provided with a frame body made of an aluminum hollow rectangular upper frame 31, a lower frame 32, a door end side vertical frame 33 (vertical member), and a hanging side vertical frame 34 (vertical member), a plurality of vertical lattices 4A attached to the outdoor facing surfaces 311, 321 of the upper frame 31 and the lower frame 32, a plurality of vertical lattices 4B attached to the mounting surface 331 which is the outdoor facing surface of the door end side vertical frame 33, and a plurality of vertical lattices 4C attached to the mounting surface 341 which is the outdoor facing surface of the hanging side vertical frame 34. The door end side vertical frame 33 is provided with a handle 36 for opening and closing. The mounting structure of the vertical lattice in the first embodiment is the mounting structure of the vertical lattice 4C to the hanging side vertical frame 34 and the mounting structure of the vertical lattice 4D to the gatepost 2.
In the following description, the left-right direction of the gate 1 is defined as the X-axis direction, the up-down direction of the gate 1 is defined as the Y-axis direction, and the projection direction (out-of-plane direction) of the gate 1 is defined as the Z-axis direction. The X, Y, and Z axis directions are perpendicular to each other.

The mounting surfaces 21, 331, 341 of the gatepost 2, the door end vertical frame 33, and the hanging side vertical frame 34, which are vertical members, are provided with stepped screws 5 (protruding parts) protruding to the outside in the Z-axis direction. The stepped screws 5 are provided at positions corresponding to the upper and lower ends of the short shaped members 41B, which will be described later, attached to the mounting surface 331 of the door end vertical frame 33. The stepped screws 5 are also attached to the upper end 342, lower end 343, and middle part 344 of the hanging side vertical frame 34. Of these stepped screws 5, the stepped screw 5 attached to the upper end 342 of the hanging side vertical frame 34 is the upward protruding part in the present invention, the stepped screw 5 attached to the lower end 343 of the hanging side vertical frame 34 is the downward protruding part in the present invention, and the stepped screw 5 attached to the middle part 344 of the hanging side vertical frame 34 is the middle protruding part in the present invention. The mounting position of the stepped screw 5 on the gate post 2 is the same as the mounting position of the stepped screw 5 on the hanging side vertical frame 34 in the first embodiment.
The stepped screw 5 has a shaft portion 51 that protrudes from the mounting surface portion 21, 331, 341 toward the outside and a swollen head portion 52 formed at the tip of the shaft portion 51. The swollen head portion 52 has a width dimension larger than that of the shaft portion 51.

The multiple vertical lattices 4A are composed of aluminum shaped members 41A with a hollow rectangular cross section, and the interior facing surface of the shaped members 41A is attached to the facing surfaces 311, 321 of the upper and lower frames 31 and 32 with fixing screws (not shown) or the like. The vertical lattice 4A located on the door end side of the multiple vertical lattices 4A is composed of shaped members 41A that are divided into upper and lower parts and connected with a connecting member so as not to interfere with the handle 36. Cap members are attached to the upper and lower ends of the shaped members 41A.

Each of the vertical lattices 4B includes aluminum shaped members 41B having a hollow rectangular cross section that is shorter in the Y-axis direction than the vertical lattices 4A, and upper and lower wedge members 7 and 8 inserted into the upper and lower ends of the shaped members 41B. The upper and lower ends of the visible surface (mounting surface) on the indoor side of the shaped members 41B are formed with so-called daruma holes 6 (holes). The daruma holes 6 are formed in the same manner as the daruma holes 6 of the vertical lattices 4C described later.
The vertical lattice 4B is attached to the mounting surface 331 of the door end vertical frame 33 by engaging the stepped screw 5 of the door end vertical frame 33, which is inserted into the daruma hole 6, with the upper wedge member 7 and the lower wedge member 8. In this embodiment, the shaped member 41B is arranged in two adjacent positions in the X-axis direction at a position above the handle 36. Also, two adjacent positions are arranged in two adjacent positions in the X-axis direction at a position below the handle 36. Cap members are attached to the upper and lower ends of the shaped member 41B. The upper wedge member 7 and the lower wedge member 8 are inserted into the shaped member 41B, but instead of these, the wedge member 9 described later may be fixed to the upper and lower ends of the indoor side visible surface portion (mounting surface portion) of the shaped member 41B at positions corresponding to the daruma hole 6.

As shown in Fig. 3, the vertical lattices 4C are formed in a hollow shape with a mounting surface portion 411 that can abut against the mounting surface portion 341, and have the same vertical dimensions as the vertical lattices 4A. The vertical lattices 4C include an aluminum shaped member 41C having a hollow rectangular cross section, an upper wedge member 7 and a lower wedge member 8 inserted into an upper end portion 412 and a lower end portion 413 of the shaped member 41C, and a wedge member 9 disposed in an intermediate portion 414 between the upper end portion 412 and the lower end portion 413 of the shaped member 41C and spaced apart from both of them in the Y-axis direction within the shaped member 41C, and a cap member 10 that covers the upper and lower ends of the upper end portion 412 and the lower end portion 413 of the shaped member 41C is attached to the upper and lower ends of the upper end portion 412 and the lower end portion 413 of the shaped member 41C.
The mounting surface portion 411 of the vertical lattice 4C is provided with daruma holes 6 through which each stepped screw 5 is inserted, and these daruma holes 6 are located at the upper end portion 412, lower end portion 413 and middle portion 414 of the vertical lattice 4C, respectively.
The daruma hole 6 has an insertion hole 61 through which the enlarged head 52 is inserted, and an elongated hole 62 extending upward from the insertion hole 61 and in which the shaft 51 is disposed. The width of the elongated hole 62 is smaller than the width of the enlarged head 52, which makes it easy to position the vertical lattice 4C relative to the hanging-side vertical frame 34.

The upper wedge member 7 has a plate-shaped wedge main body 71 that is inserted from above into the profile 41C in the Y-axis direction along the inner surface of the mounting surface portion 411 and positioned at a position corresponding to the daruma hole 6 in the upper end portion 412, a circular wedge insertion hole 72 formed in the wedge main body 71 and into which the enlarged head 52 of the stepped screw 5 serving as an upward protrusion is inserted, a wedge groove portion 73 that extends upward from the wedge insertion hole 72 along the Y-axis direction and into which the shank 51 of the stepped screw 5 is positioned, and a pressure contact portion 74 that is cut and raised from the wedge main body 71 toward the outside and protrudes in the Z-axis direction (out-of-plane direction) toward the side away from the hanging side vertical frame 34. At the top of the wedge body 71, a plate-shaped wedge driving portion 711 is bent toward the outside, and the lower side of both sides of the wedge body 71 along the Y-axis direction is inclined with respect to the Y-axis direction so that the wedge body 71 tapers downward, improving insertion into the shaped member 41C. With the shaft 51 positioned in the wedge groove 73, the pressure contact portion 74 is positioned to press against the enlarged head 52 in the Z-axis direction toward the side away from the hanging side vertical frame 34. This upper wedge member 7 engages with the stepped screw 5 as an upper protrusion.

The lower wedge member 8 has a plate-shaped wedge main body 81 that is inserted from below into the profile 41C in the Y-axis direction along the inner surface of the mounting surface portion 411 and is positioned at a position corresponding to the daruma hole 6 at the lower end portion 413, a wedge insertion hole 82 formed in the wedge main body 81 and into which the enlarged head 52 of the stepped screw 5 serving as a downward protrusion is inserted, a wedge groove portion 83 that extends downward from the wedge insertion hole 82 along the Y-axis direction and into which the shank 51 of the stepped screw 5 is positioned, and a pressure contact portion 84 that is cut and raised from the wedge main body 81 toward the outside and protrudes in the Z-axis direction (out-of-plane direction) toward the side away from the hanging side vertical frame 34. At the bottom of the wedge body 81, a plate-shaped wedge driving portion 811 is bent toward the outside, and the upper side edges of the wedge body 81 along the Y-axis direction are inclined with respect to the Y-axis direction so that the wedge body 81 tapers downward, improving insertion into the shaped member 41C. With the shaft 51 positioned in the wedge groove 83, the pressure contact portion 84 is positioned to press against the enlarged head 52 in the Z-axis direction toward the side away from the hanging side vertical frame 34. The lower wedge member 8 has a shape obtained by inverting the upper wedge member 7 upside down, and engages with the stepped screw 5 as the downward protrusion.

As shown in Figure 4, the wedge member 9 has a rectangular plate-shaped wedge main body 91 screwed to the inner surface of the mounting surface portion 411, a wedge insertion hole 92 formed in the wedge main body 91 and into which the enlarged head 52 of the stepped screw 5 serving as an intermediate protrusion is inserted, a wedge groove portion 93 extending upward from the wedge insertion hole 92 along the Y-axis direction and into which the shank 51 of the stepped screw 5 is positioned, and a pressure contact portion 94 cut and raised from the wedge main body 91 toward the outside in the Z-axis direction (out-of-plane direction) toward the side away from the hanging side vertical frame 34.
The pressure contact portion 94 is composed of a pair of leaf spring portions 95 arranged along the Y-axis direction along both edges of the long hole 62 in the mounting surface portion 411. The leaf spring portion 95 has a guide plate portion 951 raised from the wedge body portion 91 toward the side away from the hanging-side vertical frame 34 in the Z-axis direction, a flat plate portion 952 that is continuous with the guide plate portion 951 and along the Y-axis direction, and a connecting plate portion 953 that connects the flat plate portion 952 to the wedge body portion 91. The guide plate portion 951 is arranged below the flat plate portion 952, and is inclined with respect to the Y-axis direction on the mounting surface portion 411 so that its upper end (the end portion that is continuous with the flat plate portion 952) is located on the side away from the hanging-side vertical frame 34 than its lower end (the end portion that is continuous with the wedge body portion 91). The connecting plate portion 953 is disposed above the flat plate portion 952, and is inclined in the Y-axis direction in the opposite direction to the guide plate portion 951 so that its lower end is located on the side farther away from the hanging-side vertical frame 34 than the upper end. The inclination angle of the connecting plate portion 953 is greater than the inclination angle of the guide plate portion 951. With the shaft portion 51 disposed in the wedge groove portion 93, the pressure contact portion 94 presses against the enlarged head portion 52 toward the side farther away from the hanging-side vertical frame 34 in the Z-axis direction.
This wedge member 9 is placed in an engaged state with the stepped screw 5 serving as an intermediate protrusion, with a portion of the enlarged head 52 engaging with the flat plate portion 952 and with the upper portion of the enlarged head 52 passing above the flat plate portion 952 and positioned opposite the connecting plate portion 953 in the Z-axis direction.

As described above, the vertical lattice 4D is configured in the same way as the vertical lattice 4C and is attached to the gatepost 2, so a detailed description of the vertical lattice 4D will be omitted.

The procedure for attaching the vertical lattice 4C to the vertical frame 34 on the hanging side of the gate 1 will be described below.
First, the stepped screws 5 are pre-attached to the mounting surface portions 341 at the upper end portion 342, the lower end portion 343 and the middle portion 344 of the hanging side vertical frame 34.
Next, as shown in FIG. 5A, the stepped screws 5 are inserted into the insertion holes 61 of the section 41C, and the stepped screws 5 as intermediate protrusions are also inserted into the wedge insertion holes 92 of the wedge members 9.
Next, the shaped member 41C is driven from above, and as shown in FIG. 5B, each stepped screw 5 is placed in the long hole 62 of the shaped member 41C, and the shaft portion 51 of the stepped screw 5 as the intermediate protrusion is placed in the wedge groove portion 93. At this time, as the shaped member 41C moves downward relative to the hanging side vertical frame 34, the swollen head 52 of the stepped screw 5 as the intermediate protrusion is guided to the outside while sliding against the guide plate portion 951 of the leaf spring portion 95, and then slides while pressing against the flat plate portion 952, and as the shaped member 41C moves further downward, a part of the swollen head 52 is engaged with the flat plate portion 952, and the upper part of the swollen head 52 passes above the flat plate portion 952 and is placed in a position facing the connecting plate portion 953 in the Z-axis direction. At this position, the flat plate portion 952 is pressed against the swollen head 52, and the wedge member 9 and the stepped screw 5 are engaged in an engaged state. In this way, the section 41C is provisionally positioned at a predetermined position relative to the hanging side vertical frame 34, and it is possible to prevent the section 41C from moving away from the hanging side vertical frame 34 toward the outdoors, for example.
Next, as shown in Fig. 5(C), the upper wedge member 7 is inserted from above into the shaped member 41C, and the enlarged head 52 of the stepped screw 5 at the upper end 342 of the hanging-side vertical frame 34 is inserted into the wedge insertion hole 72. Next, the wedge driving portion 711 of the upper wedge member 7 is driven downward, and the shaft portion 51 of the stepped screw 5 is placed in the wedge groove portion 73 while the enlarged head 52 is pressed against the pressure contact portion 74. In this way, the upper wedge member 7 and the stepped screw 5 as the upward protrusion are engaged. Also, the lower wedge member 8 is inserted from below into the shaped member 41C, and the enlarged head 52 of the stepped screw at the lower end 343 of the hanging-side vertical frame 34 is inserted into the wedge insertion hole 82. Next, the wedge driving portion 711 of the lower wedge member 8 is driven downward, and the shaft portion 51 of the stepped screw 5 is placed in the wedge groove portion 73 while the enlarged head portion 52 is pressed against the pressure contact portion 84. In this manner, the lower wedge member 8 and the stepped screw 5 as the downward protruding portion are engaged with each other.
Next, as shown in FIG. 5(D), the cap members 10 are attached to cover the upper and lower ends of the section 41C, resulting in the state shown in FIG. 5(E).
In this manner, the vertical lattice 4C is directly attached to the hanging side vertical frame 34, thereby forming an attachment structure for the vertical lattice 4C in which the attachment surface portion 411 abuts against the attachment surface portion 341. The attachment of the vertical lattice 4D to the gatepost 2 is performed in a similar manner to form the attachment structure for the vertical lattice 4D.

[Second embodiment]
A second embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.
The mounting structure for a vertical lattice according to the second embodiment is configured in a manner generally similar to that of the mounting structure for a vertical lattice according to the first embodiment, but instead of the upper wedge member 7 and the lower wedge member 8, the vertical lattice 4C is provided with a wedge member 9 fixed to the inner surface of the mounting surface portion 411 of the shaped member 41C, as shown in Fig. 6. Therefore, in the second embodiment, the wedge member 9 is fixed to the positions corresponding to the daruma holes 6 in the upper end portion 412, the lower end portion 413, and the intermediate portion 414 of the shaped member 41C. Therefore, the pressure contact portion 94 of the wedge member 9 is pressure-contacted with the enlarged head portion 52 of each stepped screw as the upper protruding portion, the lower protruding portion, and the intermediate protruding portion inserted into each daruma hole 6.

In the second embodiment, the vertical lattice 4C is attached to the hanging side vertical frame 34 in the following procedure.
First, the cap members 10 shown in Fig. 6A are attached to the upper and lower ends of the profile 41C to form the vertical lattice 4C. The cap members 10 may be attached in advance.
Next, as shown in Fig. 6(B), each stepped screw 5 is inserted into the insertion hole 61 and the wedge insertion holes 72, 82, 92 of the vertical lattice 4C. Then, as shown in Fig. 6(C), the vertical lattice 4C itself is driven in from above, the shaft portion 51 of each stepped screw 5 is placed in the wedge groove portions 73, 83, 93, and the pressure contact portions 74, 84, 94 are pressure-contacted with the enlarged head portions 52, and each wedge member 9 and stepped screw 5 are brought into an engaged state. In this way, the vertical lattice 4C is attached to the hanging-side vertical frame 34, and the mounting structure of the vertical lattice 4C is completed.
The vertical lattice 4D in the second embodiment is configured in the same manner as the vertical lattice 4C in the second embodiment, and may be attached to the gate post 2 (see the first embodiment) in a substantially similar manner.

[Modification]
In the first and second embodiments, the pressure contact portion 94 is composed of a leaf spring portion 95, but if the wedge member 9 and the stepped screw 5 can be engaged by the downward movement of the vertical grid 4C, the pressure contact portion 94 may be composed of a leaf spring portion 95.
In the first embodiment, the wedge member 9 between the upper wedge member 7 and the lower wedge member 8 in the Y-axis direction is one to minimize resistance when attaching the vertical lattice 4C, but multiple wedge members 9 may be arranged at intervals in the Y-axis direction depending on the longitudinal dimension of the vertical lattice 4C. Also, in the second embodiment, multiple wedge members 9 may be arranged in the middle portion 414 of the vertical lattice 4C. Note that the daruma holes 6 are formed according to the wedge members 9.
In the first embodiment, the upper wedge member 7 and the lower wedge member 8 are inserted and positioned at the upper end portion 412 and the lower end portion 413 of the vertical grid 4C, but, for example, one of the upper wedge member 7 and the lower wedge member 8 may be fixed to the mounting surface portion 411 instead of the wedge member 9.
In the first and second embodiments, the long hole 62 of the daruma hole 6 and the wedge groove portion 93 of the wedge member 9 are formed to extend upward, but this is not limited to this and, for example, they may be formed to extend downward, or they may be formed to extend in a direction perpendicular to the Z-axis direction and intersect with the Y-axis direction.
In the first and second embodiments, the mounting structure for the vertical lattice is configured on a gate, but it may be configured on a fence, in which case the vertical members are fence posts.

[Summary of the invention]
The mounting structure for a vertical grille of the present invention is composed of a vertical member having a mounting surface along the longitudinal direction, and a hollow vertical grille having a mounting surface that abuts against the mounting surface, the mounting surface of the vertical member is provided with a protruding portion having a shaft protruding from the mounting surface and a swollen head formed at the tip of the shaft, the swollen head having a width dimension larger than that of the shaft, the mounting surface of the vertical grille is provided with a hole through which the protruding portion is inserted, the hole has an insertion hole through which the swollen head is inserted and an elongated hole extending from the insertion hole and in which the shaft is disposed, A wedge member that engages with the protrusion is arranged within the vertical grille, and the wedge member has a wedge main body portion fixed to the mounting surface portion, a wedge insertion hole formed in the wedge main body portion and into which the enlarged head is inserted, a wedge groove portion extending from the wedge insertion hole and into which the shank is arranged, and a pressure-contact portion protruding from the wedge main body portion toward the side away from the vertical member in the out-of-plane direction, and the pressure-contact portion is arranged so that when the shank is arranged in the wedge groove portion, it is pressure-contacted against the enlarged head in the out-of-plane direction toward the side away from the vertical member.
According to the mounting structure for the vertical grille of the present invention, the protrusion is inserted into the hole of the vertical grille and the vertical grille is moved relative to the vertical member, so that the pressure contact portion of the wedge member can be pressed against the enlarged head, and the vertical grille can be directly mounted to the vertical member. In this way, compared to the mounting work of driving in the wedge member while holding the vertical grille in a predetermined position, the mounting work of directly mounting the vertical grille to the vertical member can be easily performed by simply moving the vertical grille itself, and workability can be improved.

In the mounting structure for a vertical grille of the present invention, the wedge main body portion is formed in a plate shape, and the pressure contact portion is composed of a pair of leaf spring portions arranged along both edges of the long hole in the mounting surface portion, and the leaf spring portions have a guide plate portion raised from the wedge main body portion toward the side away from the vertical member, a flat plate portion continuous with the guide plate portion, and a connecting plate portion connecting the flat plate portion to the wedge main body portion, and the guide plate portion is inclined with respect to the mounting surface portion so that the end portion continuous with the flat plate portion is positioned on the side away from the vertical member relative to the end portion continuous with the wedge main body portion, and the wedge member may engage with the protrusion at a position where at least a portion of the enlarged head overlaps the flat plate portion.
According to this configuration, a pair of leaf spring portions are arranged along both edges of the long hole, and by pressing the pair of leaf spring portions against the enlarged head, the vertical grille can be brought into an engaged state in which it is less likely to come off the vertical member, compared to, for example, a case in which the leaf spring portions are arranged along only one edge of the long hole, and the mounting state of the vertical grille to the vertical member can be stabilized.
In addition, in the leaf spring portion, the swollen head can be smoothly guided toward the flat plate portion by the guide plate portion inclined from the wedge main body portion, while the connecting plate portion connects the flat plate portion and the wedge main body portion. Therefore, the pressure applied by the flat plate portion to the swollen head can be increased compared to when there is no connecting plate portion, making it difficult for the swollen head to come off the leaf spring portion, and therefore stabilizing the engagement state of the wedge member and the protrusion.

In the vertical grille mounting structure of the present invention, the long hole may be formed extending upward from the insertion hole, and the wedge groove portion may be formed extending upward from the wedge insertion hole.
According to this configuration, by moving the vertical grille downward relative to the vertical member, the pressure contact portion of the wedge member can be brought into pressure contact with the enlarged head portion.

In the mounting structure for a vertical grille of the present invention, the hole portions are provided at the upper end portion, the lower end portion, and the intermediate portion disposed between the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the vertical grille, and the protrusion portion has an upper protrusion portion that is inserted into the hole portion at the upper end portion of the vertical grille, a lower protrusion portion that is inserted into the hole portion at the lower end portion of the vertical grille, and an intermediate protrusion portion that is inserted into the hole portion at the intermediate portion of the vertical grille, and the upper protrusion portion, the lower protrusion portion, and the intermediate protrusion portion Each of the protrusions has the shaft portion and the enlarged head portion, the wedge member is disposed so as to engage with the intermediate protrusion portion, and an upper wedge member that engages with the upper protrusion portion and a lower wedge member that engages with the lower protrusion portion are further disposed within the vertical lattice, and the upper wedge member includes a wedge main body portion that is inserted and disposed within the vertical lattice along the mounting surface portion, a wedge insertion hole that is formed in the wedge main body portion and through which the enlarged head portion of the upper protrusion is inserted, and a wedge member that extends upward from the wedge insertion hole. Both of the upper and lower wedge members have a wedge groove portion in which the shaft portion is disposed, and a pressure-contact portion protruding from the wedge body portion toward the side away from the vertical member in the out-of-plane direction, and the pressure-contact portion of the upper wedge member is disposed so as to be in pressure contact with the enlarged head of the upper protrusion toward the side away from the vertical member in the out-of-plane direction when the shaft portion is disposed in the wedge groove portion, and the lower wedge member has a wedge body portion that is inserted and disposed in the vertical lattice along the mounting surface portion, and a pressure-contact portion formed in the wedge body portion. The lower wedge member may have a wedge insertion hole through which the enlarged head of the downward protrusion is inserted, a wedge groove portion extending downward from the wedge insertion hole and in which the shank is disposed, and a pressure-contact portion protruding from the wedge main body portion toward a side away from the vertical member in the out-of-plane direction, and the pressure-contact portion of the lower wedge member may be arranged so that, when the shank is disposed in the wedge groove portion, it is pressure-contacted against the enlarged head of the downward protrusion in the out-of-plane direction toward the side away from the vertical member.
According to this configuration, for example, if there is no hole or wedge member in the middle part of the vertical grille, only the upper and lower ends of the vertical grille are attached to the vertical member, and the larger the longitudinal dimension of the vertical grille, the more likely it is that the middle part will vibrate slightly due to the influence of wind, etc., and cause rattling noises. However, in the present invention, a hole and a wedge member are disposed in the middle part of the vertical grille, so that the middle part of the vertical grille can be attached to the vertical member, and the occurrence of the rattling noises described above can be suppressed.
Furthermore, the wedge members and intermediate protrusions can be engaged before inserting and placing the upper and lower wedge members into the upper and lower ends of the vertical grille. This reduces the effort required to hold the vertical grille in a predetermined position and improves the ease of installation of the vertical grille on the vertical members.

In the mounting structure for a vertical grille of the present invention, the hole portions are provided at the upper end, the lower end, and each of an intermediate portion disposed between the upper end and the lower end of the vertical grille, the protrusion portion has an upper protrusion portion that is inserted into the hole portion at the upper end of the vertical grille, a lower protrusion portion that is inserted into the hole portion at the lower end of the vertical grille, and an intermediate protrusion portion that is inserted into the hole portion at the intermediate portion of the vertical grille, each of the upper protrusion portion, the lower protrusion portion, and the intermediate protrusion portion has the shaft portion and the enlarged head portion, the wedge member is fixed at a position corresponding to the hole portions provided at the upper end, the lower end, and each of the intermediate portions of the vertical grille, and the pressure contact portion of the wedge member may be arranged to be in pressure contact with the enlarged head portions of the upper protrusion portion, the lower protrusion portion, and the intermediate protrusion portion that are inserted into the hole portion at the upper end, the lower end, and each of the intermediate portions of the vertical grille.
According to this configuration, for example, if there is no hole or wedge member in the middle part of the vertical grille, only the upper and lower ends of the vertical grille are attached to the vertical member, and the larger the longitudinal dimension of the vertical grille, the more likely it is that the middle part will vibrate slightly due to the influence of wind, etc., and cause rattling noises. However, in the present invention, a hole and a wedge member are disposed in the middle part of the vertical grille, so that the middle part of the vertical grille can be attached to the vertical member, and the occurrence of the rattling noises described above can be suppressed.
Furthermore, by simply inserting the upper protrusion, intermediate protrusion and lower protrusion of the vertical member into each hole of the vertical grid and moving the vertical grid downward, the pressure contact portion of each wedge member can be pressed against each enlarged head portion. In other words, the vertical grid can be directly attached to the vertical member by simply driving it in from above. This eliminates the need to insert and position wedge members that are not fixed to the vertical grid into the upper or lower end portions of the vertical grid, and the vertical grid can be easily attached to the vertical member.

In the vertical grille mounting structure of the present invention, cap members for covering small edges at the upper and lower ends of the vertical grille may be attached.
According to this configuration, the cap member is attached to the edge of the vertical lattice, so that the edge is not exposed.
In addition, for example, in a configuration in which an upper wedge member and a lower wedge member are inserted into the vertical grid at the upper and lower ends of the vertical grid, even if the upper wedge member or the lower wedge member attempts to come off unexpectedly, the cap member will come into contact with them, thereby preventing the wedge from coming off.
