Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily improve the ornamentation of a handrail to prevent falling of pedestrians or the like from a bridge. CONSTITUTION:Covering members 5 to cover at least one part of longitudinal sash bars are inserted and fixed between the adjacent longitudinal sash bars with the specified regularity over the whole or a part of the longitudinal sash bar 4 provided between posts of a handrail. The covering member consists of two symmetrical parts covering the longitudinal sash bars and is fixed to the longitudinal sash bar by rivets 5c. The covering members can be easily mounted even on existing handrails or the like by determining the fitting position so that the envelope connecting the upper or lower ends of the coating members may form an ornamental pattern and by making an arrangement so that the length in the longitudinal direction of the coating members on the central side or the pillar side may be gradually increased between a plurality of the posts, leading to easy improvement of the ornamental effect.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a balustrade for preventing pedestrians from falling on a bridge, and more particularly to a balustrade with improved decorativeness.

[0002]

[Prior Art] As a balustrade of this type of construction, it is described in "Protective fence installation net / data collection (high beam protective fence / heavy snow type protective fence)" issued by the Japan Road Association in July 1986. There is one.

In this conventional technique, a vertical or horizontal rail for preventing a fall is attached or a wire is stretched between an upper horizontal beam and a lower horizontal beam mounted between columns.

[0004]

In the above-mentioned conventional guard fence or balustrade, a vertical rail for preventing fall or a horizontal rail or wire is stretched between the upper horizontal beam and the lower horizontal beam mounted between columns. Since it has a structure, it is effective in preventing pedestrians and bicycles from falling outside the bridge, but when installing it in the city, there is a problem that such a structure with only the purpose impairs the aesthetics of the city and lacks moisture. It was

Further, when it is attempted to decorate an existing balustrade, a method of drawing a pattern with paint or the like is generally used, but there is a problem that it takes too much time and cost to carry out. The present invention, in order to eliminate the above-mentioned problems,
Preventing fall of pedestrians and bicycles can sufficiently achieve its purpose, and by decorating with a decorative cover attached to the vertical rail, it does not impair the urban aesthetics when installing in the urban area of the balustrade,
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a balustrade which can be attached to an existing balustrade and has a structure that is easy to work for mounting.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, in a balustrade of the present invention, a plurality of columns, an upper beam and a lower beam provided between the columns, and a beam mounted between the upper beam and the lower beam. In the balustrade having the vertical bars, a decorative cover for covering at least a part of the vertical bars is fitted and fixed to all or part of the vertical bars with a predetermined regularity between the adjacent vertical bars.

[0007]

By fixing the decorative cover to the vertical rails by fitting it between adjacent vertical rails with a predetermined regularity, for example, the mounting position is determined so that the envelope connecting the upper and lower ends of the decorative cover draws a pattern. Or by setting the vertical length of the decorative cover on the center or between the columns to be gradually longer between multiple columns, it can be easily installed even on existing balustrades, etc. The effect can be enhanced.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a partial side view of a balustrade of this embodiment. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a mounted state of the decorative cover 5. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a mounted state of the decorative cover 5. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the structure of the decorative cover 5. Figure 5 is a decorative cover
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a balustrade in a state where 5 is attached. 6 and 7 are sectional views showing a mounted state of the decorative cover 5 of another embodiment.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the balustrade consists of columns 1, an upper beam 2, a lower beam 3, and a plurality of vertical bars 4 arranged between the upper beam 2 and the lower beam 3. The interval between the vertical bars 4 is set to a width that prevents children and objects from passing to prevent them from falling. Up to this point, the structure is the same as the conventional balustrade. In the balustrade of this embodiment, the vertical cover 4 is regularly fitted with the decorative cover 5. The mounting position of the mounting cover 5 is determined so that the envelope connecting the upper and lower ends of the decorative cover 5 draws a pattern as shown in FIG. That is, the vertical bar 4a close to the pillar 1
The vertical bar 4 to the right of the decorative cover 5 attached to the
The decorative cover 5 attached to b becomes longer and the attachment position is also shifted to the lower beam 3 side. Vertical cross 4c
In addition, the length of the decorative cover 5 is further increased and the mounting position is also shifted to the lower beam 3 side. This tendency is reversed in the vertical bar 4d, the length of the decorative cover 5 is shortened, and the mounting position is also shifted to the upper beam 2 side. In this way, the length is increased / decreased for every several vertical bars 4 and the mounting position is changed to obtain the decorative effect as shown in FIG.

Next, the structure of the decorative cover 5 will be described. The decorative cover 5 has a U-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. 4, and is composed of side plates 5e and 5f and a main plate 5g. Main plate
The inner width n of 5 g is set longer by the width n'of the balustrade 4 and the thickness of the decorative cover 5. The width m of the side plates 5e and 5f is the balustrade 4
The width is set to be almost the same as the width m '. Decorative covers 5,
As shown in FIG. 3, 5 is faced to the vertical rail 4 and side plates 5e and 5f.
Are engaged with each other in an alternating manner, and the grooves 5h provided on the side plates 5e and 5f are held at the overlapping positions.
The part is riveted to the vertical bar 4 with rivets 5c.

In the present embodiment, the vertical cross-section having a rectangular cross-section has been described. However, vertical cross-sections having a square cross section and vertical cross-sections having a circular cross section as shown in FIGS. The same effect can be obtained by using two decorative covers 5.

The length of the decorative cover 5 may be one kind if the decorative covers having the same length are provided with decorative properties by changing the mounting positions of the vertical bars 4. However, as shown in FIG. By periodically arranging the decorative cover of the sea, it is necessary to have a plurality of lengths. However, by simply cutting a long member having a U-shaped cross section into a predetermined length, it is possible to handle a plurality of types and the production is easy. Also, the decorative covers 5 and 5 that are fitted together have the same shape, so there is no need to prepare two types, one for the right and the other for the left, and production efficiency is good and there is no need to judge the left and right during on-site assembly work. Is easy.

Further, in this embodiment, the vertical crosspiece is covered by engaging the two decorative covers 5, 5 having the same shape with each other.
For a vertical rail with a circular cross section as shown in Fig. 7, the vertical rail cross section is 3
It is also possible to use three divided members to cover the vertical rail.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the decorative property of the balustrade can be easily enhanced. In addition, it is possible to easily decorate various balustrades, whether new or existing.
