Abstract

PURPOSE:To protect plants as well as prevent deformation of brick placing frames by a method in which sections are arranged in a latticed form in such a way as to keep square wooden bricks elastically in a square frame, and turf-planting sections are formed between the wooden brick-holding sections. CONSTITUTION:An elastic plastic frame 1 is partitioned by dividing walls 6 to form wooden brick-holding sections 2 and protective sections 3 for growing turf in a latticed form. The walls 6 have slantly downward hook pieces 7 and slits 9 formed from upper ends to the middle near both ends. Round bottom plates 10 are provided on the bottom of the sections 2 and water-passing holes 11 and water-passing openings 12 are also formed. Wooden bricks 4 with step differences 20 are set in the sections 2 and coupled by the hook pieces 7. The frame 1 is placed on the gravel base 19 and turf 5 is planted in the sections 3. The turf can thus be protected and the deformation can also be prevented by offsetting the expansion and contraction of the wooden bricks.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a brick laying frame in which grape plants such as lawns can be placed between the wooden bricks.

[Prior Art] This brick laying frame is based on a proposal by the present inventor, and generally includes a holding section in the frame, and a section wall that partitions the holding section has a flange having diagonally downward elasticity. This is made up of pieces, which are held in their holding sections to hold real bricks, and then laid in a predetermined area to complete the single brick pavement (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 64-33301, etc.) .

This brick paved road can be easily constructed flatly and quickly without any difference in height between the wooden bricks. This was done with the aim of preventing inconveniences such as peeling due to expansion and contraction associated with the process.

To date, there is no known technology that has a structure for protecting intermittent plants in the brick laying frame. As a member for protecting only interstitial plants, there is only a step for protection of interstitial plants, which was proposed separately by the present inventor. One type of grid consists of a lattice-like member with cylindrical bodies arranged at each intersection, and is placed on top of grass and other interstitial plants to protect them from treading pressure, etc. (Utility Model Publication No. 52-47289, Utility Model Publication No. 57-3386, etc.), and other types have a box-like structure with a large number of protected compartments, which are connected to a predetermined area. After doing so, soil and open-side plants are charged into each protection section of these members, and the open-side plants are protected from the treading pressure of people and vehicles at the edge of the wall of one section. (Utility Model Publication No. 57-8443, etc.).

Problems that E Hatsumoe is trying to solve] The conventional brick laying frame has the above-mentioned configuration,
It is possible to almost achieve the above-mentioned purpose. However, depending on various conditions such as the type of bricks to be held and the weather conditions of the installation area, there are rare cases where the held wooden bricks expand and contract beyond the absorption limit and degree of expansion and contraction by the flange pieces. In such a case, there is a possibility that problems such as the partially bulging of the laying frame in an arch shape may occur.

The first object of the present invention is to solve these problems and to provide a laying frame that can cope with the expansion and contraction of larger wooden bricks. In addition, it is an object of the present invention to include a structure in the laying frame of this brick that can protect intermittent plants while achieving the above objectives.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The gist of the present invention is to hold bricks in a quadrilateral frame when viewed from above, with protective sections for plants interposed between adjacent ones. It consists of multiple holding sections that are quadrilateral when viewed from the top, vertically and horizontally.

Each partition wall that partitions between each of the above-mentioned holding sections and the protection section has an elastic flange extending diagonally downward inward of the holding section, and partitions between each of the above-mentioned holding sections and the protection section. Near both ends of each of the above-mentioned partition walls, a slit is formed halfway from the upper end so that the partition wall itself can open outward to the outside of the holding section around the lower edge, and the lower part of each of the above-mentioned holding sections is for water permeability. Consists of a bottom plate with an opening.

Further, within the protection compartment, between the slits of each compartment wall, a connecting piece is provided to connect the facing compartment walls at the bottom side, and in addition, a connecting piece is provided on each of the two adjacent sides of the frame body. When the connecting male part and the connecting female part of the adjacent frame are connected, the connecting male part and the connecting female part of the adjacent frame are connected on the other two sides, respectively, with connecting female parts that can be connected to the connecting male part of the other frame, This brick laying frame is constructed so that a space having the same width as the protection section is created between the frame bodies.

The frame body is integrally molded from a resilient plastic material with constituent elements such as partition walls for the holding compartment and protection compartment, a collar piece, a bottom plate, a connecting piece, a male connecting part, and a female connecting part. It is appropriate to do so.

Although the frame has a quadrilateral planar shape, a square or a rectangle is suitable for installation reasons.

Further, the planar shape of the holding section is also a quadrilateral, but a square or a rectangle is similarly suitable. That is, it is suitable to be constructed to hold square or rectangular bricks, which are the most common.

The protection section may be configured as a narrow space with one width in the gap between the holding sections arranged vertically and horizontally.In other words, the width of the protection section is such that the open side plants charged therein are The bricks should be able to protect the building from pressure from pedestrians and vehicles.

The above-mentioned main brick is enlarged in the middle of its circumferential side and downwardly so that when it is loaded into the holding compartment, the lower end of the flange piece is engaged with it and fixed in the holding compartment. It is appropriate to configure a step that

Moreover, a lawn is suitable as the above-mentioned open plant.

Of course, suitable plants that grow on other lands can also be used.

Note that the connecting male part and the connecting female part are not particularly limited as long as they satisfy the above conditions and can be connected to each other.

[Function] Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, it is possible to create a brick pavement in which open plants are arranged around the bricks in the area where construction is required, as described below.

In the area where construction is required, create a flat, permeable base such as gravel base.

On the other hand, a number of laying frames corresponding to the area of the required laying area are prepared, and the actual bricks are charged and held in each holding section. If you use wooden bricks with a step formed in the middle of the outer periphery, you can simply insert them. It recedes outward as the pressure increases, allowing smooth charging. When lowered until the lower end touches the bottom plate, the lower end of the flange piece will
It crosses the step on the outer periphery of the real brick and locks onto it.
The brick is thus securely fixed in the holding compartment.

In this way, the actual bricks are charged and held in the holding sections of the required number of laying frames.

Next, the laying frame with the actual bricks already held is placed in series on the base prepared in the area requiring laying.

Adjacent laying frames are connected to each other by connecting the male connecting part on one side and the female connecting part on the other side with a space equal to the width of the protection section between them.

After laying the laying frames in the entire area where installation is required, connecting them as described above, open-side plants are placed in the protected sections in each laying frame and in the gaps created between each laying frame. For example, the protected area and the above-mentioned interstitial space are filled with soil, some fertilizer is applied, and then open plants, such as lawn seeds, are sown, and then watered. Alternatively, after filling the area with soil and applying a small amount of fertilizer, transplant open plants such as lawn and water the area.

A flat solid brick pavement containing open vegetation around the solid bricks can thus be constructed very easily.

With this brick paved road surface constructed in this way, the open plants placed in the protection section of the paving frame and the gap space between the paving frames are not directly subjected to pressure from pedestrians or vehicles.
It is protected by real bricks around it. Open plants can thus easily be included in the brick paving.

By the way, the bricks held in each holding section of the laying frame will repeatedly expand and contract as the moisture condition changes, and one reason for this expansion and contraction is that the bricks held in each holding section of the laying frame are It is absorbed by the elastic movement of the collar piece in and out of the compartment as it expands and contracts. Another reason is that slits are formed near both ends of the partition wall, so
In response to the expansion and contraction of the bricks, the partition wall itself elastically opens outward or returns to the outside of the holding section around the lower edge as the axis, and can absorb the expansion and contraction of the zero bricks. occurs particularly on its upper side, so such a configuration is very advantageous.

Further, since the outside of the holding compartment is a protected compartment in which open plants are arranged, even if the partition wall opens outward to the outside of the holding compartment, it can be handled without any inconvenience.

[Example] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, nine holding sections 2, 2, . Narrow protected area 3
It is arranged vertically and horizontally with intervening elements.

Each of the above-mentioned holding sections 2.2... is a section for holding each - piece of wooden brick 4, and the above-mentioned protection section 3 has a lawn 5 inside it.
This is a section where open plants such as plants are charged and grown.

The holding sections 2.2... and the protection sections 3 are partitioned by convex partition walls 6, 6..., and from the upper end of the partition walls 6.6..., each holding section 2.2... A retaining section 2.2 has a flange piece 7 extending inwardly and diagonally downward, with one piece on each side of the holding section 2.2. The holding section 2.2... has a flange extending inwardly and diagonally downward on the partition wall that is configured in common with the outer wall 8 of the frame l of the holding section 2.2..., one on each side. The piece 7 is configured to extend.

Each compartment wall 6 that partitions between the holding compartments 2, 2, and the protection compartment 3 has a partition wall 6 that extends outward from the holding compartment 2 near its lower edge near its respective ends. A slit 9.9 is formed halfway from the upper end so that it can be opened outward.

Further, a bottom plate 10 is formed at the bottom of each of the holding sections 2, 2, . A circular water permeation hole ll is bored in the central circular part. Also, the openings along each side of each holding section 2.2... are water permeable openings 12.
12...It's a roar.

On the other hand, in the protection compartment 3, between the slits 9.9 at both ends of each compartment wall 6, the facing compartment walls 6.6 are connected to each other by two lower connecting pieces 13.13 on the bottom side. Further, at the positions where the protection section 3 intersects in the vertical and horizontal directions, the protection sections 3 are connected vertically and horizontally by two upper connecting pieces 14, 14 in the vertical and horizontal directions, respectively.

Further, on two mutually adjacent sides of the frame l, connection male parts 15, 15 are formed at positions that contact the outer wall 8 of the protection section 3, respectively, and on the other two sides, similarly, the outer wall 8 of the protection section 3 is formed. A connecting female part 16.16 is formed at a position in contact with.

The male connection part 15 is a pair of arm pieces extending by a length equivalent to the width of the protection section 3, and has a connection plate 17 hanging down from its tip. Further, the connecting female part 16 has a connecting slit 1 in the outer wall 8.
8.

The frame 1 and the above-mentioned constituent elements thereof are integrally molded from a resilient plastic material.

Since this embodiment is configured as described above, it is possible to create a brick pavement in which interstitial plants are arranged around the wooden bricks 4.4 in the area where construction is required, as will be explained next. .

Here, an example will be described in which a lawn 5 is used as the open plant and animal.

First, a flat base is created in the area where construction is required. In this example, the base is a gravel base 19.

The gravel base 19 is created by digging down the area to be laid a little, pouring in gravel, compacting it, and adjusting the unevenness (by applying sand).

On the other hand, prepare a number of laying frames according to the area of the upper 2 required laying areas, and place wooden bricks 4.4... - in each holding section 2.2...
Charge and hold.

The upper wooden bricks 4, 4, . . . are square when viewed from above, and are configured to have dimensions corresponding to the holding sections 2, 2, . Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 in particular, a step 20 is formed on the circumferential side, the step 20 being enlarged on the lower side.

The main bricks 4.4 can be fixed by simply pushing them into the holding compartments 2.2.

That is, when the real bricks 4.4... are pushed in, the 1 section wall 6.
Due to its elasticity, the collar pieces 7.7 configured in 6... move back with the pushing operation, allowing smooth charging.The lower end of 4.4... is connected to the bottom plate. 10
When the flange pieces 7, 7... are lowered until they come into contact with them, the lower ends of the flange pieces 7, 7... go over the step 20 on the circumferential side of the main bricks 4, 4...
This led to it being stopped. However, this brick 4.4...
is securely fixed in the holding compartments 2, 2, . . . .

In this way, the actual bricks 4, 4... are charged and held in the holding sections 2, 2... of the required number of laying frames.

Next, the holding frames for the actual bricks 4, 4, .

Adjacent laying frames can be connected to each other by connecting the male connection part 15.15 on one side and the female connection part 16.16 on the other side, as shown in FIG.
As shown in Figures 4 and 6, there are three protective zones between each other.
Connect with a gap space equal to the width of the

The male connection part 15 and the female connection part 16 are connected to each other by inserting the connection plate 17 of the former into the connection slit 18 of the latter.

After laying the laying frames over the entire area on the gravel base 19 in the required laying area while connecting the laying frames with each other in this way, grass is planted in the protective sections 3 in each laying frame and in the gaps created between each laying frame. Vegetation 5. That is, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the protection section 3 and the gap space are filled with soil 21, a slight amount of fertilizer is applied, and the seeds of the lawn 5 are sown (.After doing so, Water is applied. Figures 3 to 6 show the lawn 5 in a state where it has germinated and grown.

In this way, a flat brick pavement including the grass 5 around the wooden bricks 4, 4, . . . can be created very easily.

In addition, in this brick paved road surface constructed in this way, the tread pressure of pedestrians and vehicles will be applied to the bricks 4.4..., which are placed in the protective section 3 around them and in the gap space between the paving frames. The lawn 5 is hardly exposed to this, so the lawn 5 is reliably protected. Therefore, the grass 5 can be easily included in the present brick pavement.

In addition, the real bricks 4.4... held in each holding section 2.2... of the laying frame repeatedly expand and contract as their moisture status changes, but the expansion and contraction occur at one time. are the flange pieces 7, 7°, constructed on the partition walls 6, 6...
・Absorbed due to its elasticity. That is.

The flange pieces 7.7 elastically move forward and backward in and out of the holding section 2.2 according to the expansion and contraction of the wooden bricks 4.4, absorbing the expansion and contraction. It is something. Another reason is that slits 9.9 are formed near both ends of each partition wall 6.6, so the actual brick 4.4.
In response to the expansion and contraction of..., the partition wall 6.6... itself elastically holds the partitions 2, 2... around its lower edge as an axis center.
・Opens or returns outward to correspond to its expansion and contraction. The expansion and contraction of the bricks 4.4 above occurs particularly on the upper side, so the above action is very convenient.Moreover, the outside of the holding sections 2, 2... is covered with grass 5. Since it is the protection section 3, the holding section 2 of the partition wall 6.6...
．． 2... The outward opening can be performed without any inconvenience.

[Effect of the Invention J According to the present invention, open-side plants can be easily included in a single-brick pavement surface, and the open-side plants are reliably protected. Furthermore, since the expansion and contraction of the bricks is sufficiently absorbed, problems such as the laying frame partially bulging out onto the arch do not occur.

The resulting brick pavement is flat, has good water permeability, and has a good walking feel, similar to the existing brick pavement.
