Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a new gate post made of cast aluminum or synthetic resin material.

Conventional gateposts are used in conjunction with a fence, and are installed on both sides of a break in the fence to form an entrance/exit for a building, etc.; however, when a board fence is used as a fence, gateposts made of wood Nine pillars or square pillars are often used, and for modern block walls, pillars formed by stacking small blocks or columns made of concrete are widely used.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention According to the prior art, when wood is used, a sufficient appearance as a gatepost cannot be achieved unless large-diameter logs or pillars are used. On the other hand, such large diameter materials are extremely difficult to obtain today and are expensive;
When using pillars, you can use pillars of any size at a relatively low cost.However, since the outer surface is only made of bland concrete, it is difficult to use it in factories, etc. However, it had the unavoidable drawback that it was unsuitable for use as a gatepost for general housing.

Therefore, in view of the actual state of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to use a plate-shaped body made of aluminum casting or synthetic resin material with a wood grain pattern formed on the surface.
Since it is possible to obtain the same good appearance by using large-diameter wood, it can be sufficiently applied to general housing, and moreover, it is a new method that can be constructed of any size at low cost. We are here to provide gateposts.

Means for Solving the Problems The structure of the present invention to achieve the object is to use aluminum (including aluminum alloy) with a wood grain pattern formed thereon.
The same applies hereinafter) A rectangular prism-shaped main body is formed from a plate-like body made of casting or synthetic resin, and a base frame and an upper frame are attached to the base end and upper end of this main body, respectively, and the surrounding The system consists of a frame member provided with a light window on the top and a roof member placed on the upper edge of the frame member, and its gist is that an external light section into which a lighting fixture can be installed is fixed to the upper surface of the upper frame.

With this configuration, the surface of the main body is made of aluminum casting or a synthetic resin plate with a wood grain pattern, so it has a good appearance almost equivalent to that of wood. Obtainable.

Moreover, by selecting the length of the plate-like body, it is possible to easily construct a body of any desired overall size.

Furthermore, by attaching the base frame and the upper frame to both the upper and lower ends, the overall structure can be made extremely solid. In addition, by fixing the outside light section to the upper surface of the upper frame, it is possible to create a unique emotional atmosphere.

It works as described above.

Example Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The gatepost P is formed by combining a main body part 10, a foundation frame 21, an upper frame 22, and an outside light part 30 (Fig. 1).

The main body part 10 is formed by assembling four identical plate-shaped bodies 11, 11, . . . into a quadrangular prism shape (FIG. 2). Here, each plate-like body 11 is made of aluminum casting with an uneven wood grain pattern formed on the outer surface, and the material thereof may be pure aluminum or any aluminum alloy. do.

The surface of the plate-shaped body 11 is pre-treated by alumite treatment, in which a wood grain pattern is formed by creating unevenness on the casting surface.
An electrolytic coloring process that combines direct current electrolytic treatment with phosphoric acid or phosphorous acid and metal salt bath treatment with nickel or soot is used to create a woodgrain finish, expressing a texture similar to that of wood. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the same color effect may be achieved by painting and finishing.

Each plate-like body 11 has an appropriate width and length, and
Ribs 11a for assembly are formed along one side edge of the rear side, and by screwing in tapping screws 12, 12, etc. at appropriate intervals in the longitudinal direction, 4
It is assumed that the plates 11, 11... are assembled into a hollow rectangular prism shape. The head of the tapping screw 12 is prepared with a deep screw hole so that it is slightly sunken from the surface of the plate-shaped body 11, and the hole is filled with putty.
It is preferable to apply a paint finish in the same color as the surface of the plate-like bodies 11, 11....

The foundation frame 21 has a vertical frame 21d formed on the upper surface of a flat plate 21a having a wire insertion hole 21b in the center and anchor bolt holes 21G, 21G, etc. in the four corners. 3), the size of the vertical frame 21d is selected so that it can be fitted and attached to the base end of the main body 10. The foundation frame 21 and the main body part 10 are connected by fitting the vertical frame 21d into the base end of the main body part 10 and then screwing the two together using a tapping screw (not shown).

The upper frame 22 has a wire insertion hole 22b in the center of the flat plate 22a.
In addition, a vertical frame 22C is formed on the lower surface, and the vertical frame 22G can be fitted into the upper end of the main body part 10 and similarly securely mounted with a tapping screw.

The outdoor light section 30 includes a frame member 31 and a roof member 32.

The frame member 31 is a short rectangular frame body, and has bright windows 31a, 31a, . . . of an arbitrary design shape formed on its peripheral wall. The frame member 31 is fixed to the upper surface of the upper frame 22 so as to surround the wire insertion hole 22b.

The roof member 32 is a quadrangular pyramidal roof member, and has an upright frame 32a that can be fitted into the frame member 31 on the back surface thereof. Therefore, if the vertical frame 32a is fitted into the frame member 31 and the roof member 32 is placed on the upper edge of the frame member 31, the former can be detachably attached to the latter.

Appropriate lighting equipment such as incandescent bulbs and fluorescent lamps can be installed inside the outdoor light section 30, and the electrical wiring for this purpose is carried out through the wire insertion holes 22b of the upper frame 22 and the base frame 21.
, 21b and the hollow main body portion 10, and then connect to a commercial power source after passing through a foundation BS for erecting the entire structure.

The upper frame 22, the frame member 31, and the roof member 32 are made of cast aluminum, the same as the main body 10, and their surfaces are made of plate-like bodies 11 and 11 forming the main body 10.
After forming an uneven wood grain pattern similar to the surface of...
It shall have been given a color finishing treatment.

The gatepost P made by assembling such members is a suitable foundation BS.
It can be vertically erected on the top via anchor bolts B, B, etc., and can be used by connecting a fence F behind the fence (Fig. 1). INF may be necessary for a general board fence, but the plate-shaped bodies 11, 11, . . . forming the main body 10
It may also be an aluminum wall that has a water-grain pattern similar to the above, and that has been subjected to surface color finishing. In either case, the surface of each part of the gatepost P, including the main body 10, must be finished with a woodgrain finish, so it is possible to obtain a good appearance that matches well with the fence.

Any lighting equipment can be built into the outside light section 30, and since the roof member 32 is removable, maintenance and inspection of the built-in lighting equipment is easy.

In the above description, the size of the main body 10 can be arbitrarily changed by appropriately selecting the width and length of the plate-like bodies 11, 11, etc., and the base frame 21,
By combining the upper frame 22 and the outside light section 30,
A gatepost P of any size can be constructed. In addition,
The external design of the outside light section 30 is as follows, instead of the one shown in the figure.
It goes without saying that it can be changed to any other form.

In general, the composition of each member, including the plate-shaped bodies 11, 11..., is made of synthetic resin materials with excellent weather resistance, such as nylon, polycarbonate, polyacetal, polybutylene terephthalate, and modified materials, instead of aluminum castings. It is also possible to change to polyphenylene resin, epoxy resin, ABS resin, etc. Of course, these synthetic resin materials may be reinforced with glass fibers, carbon fibers, etc., and after forming a metal coating on the surface by electroless plating, they can be electrolytically polished in a beautiful manner similar to aluminum casting. It can be colored.

As described in detail, according to the present invention, a rectangular prism-shaped body is formed by combining plate-like bodies made of aluminum casting or synthetic resin material with a wood grain pattern formed thereon, and the base end and the upper end of the main body are combined. A base frame and an upper frame are attached to the upper frame, and the frame member has a light window and a roof member is placed on the upper edge of the frame member, and an external light part that can be equipped with lighting equipment is fixed to the upper surface of the upper frame. By doing so, it is possible to achieve the same good appearance as using large-diameter wood, so it is fully applicable to general housing, and it is also made of common aluminum castings or synthetic resin. Therefore, it has the excellent effect of being able to construct a structure of any size at low cost.

In addition, it is much lighter than blocks or concrete, making it easier to construct, less likely to collapse during an earthquake, and more durable than wood. Therefore, it has the excellent effect of being able to maintain its beautiful appearance for many years.
