In this fence 1, a plurality of vertical members 2 and horizontal members 3 are combined in a cross beam shape, and upper and lower and left and right frame members 4 and 5 are attached to the fence members as needed to form a lattice shape. 5 is attached to and supported by pillars 6 and 6, respectively, using attachment fittings 7. The connection points of the vertical members 2 and the horizontal members 3 and the connection points of the vertical members 2 and the horizontal members 3 to the frame members 4, 5 are usually welded or screwed or bolted, respectively.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such a conventional fence, since the connection is a fixed connection such as welding, it is not possible to freely change the attachment mode of the fence depending on the degree of inclination or step, and columns with different heights cannot be used. There were problems such as preparing multiple types and sometimes requiring the truncation of pillars on site.

Further, the fence itself can only be mounted horizontally as shown in FIG. 6, and since the entire outer shape in a completed state becomes a stepped shape, it may be good-looking depending on the installation mode. There was also the problem that there were things that could not be done.

In view of such a point, the present invention provides a fence that can freely set an inclination angle, can easily set an installation mode along an inclination or a step of an installation place, and can improve the appearance. It is intended.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partial perspective view showing an embodiment of a fence according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view showing an overall appearance of the fence shown in FIG.

The fence 10 of this embodiment is called a furring strip fence or the like, and is composed of an upper frame 11, a lower frame 12, a vertical frame 13, a vertical member 14 and a horizontal member 15. The upper frame 11, the lower frame 12, the vertical frame 13, the vertical members 14, and the horizontal members 15 are made of aluminum, stainless steel, steel, or other metal that is usually used as a fence.

The upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 are mirror-symmetrical hollow frame members, and flanges 16 for connecting the vertical members 14 are formed on the opposite surfaces, respectively. The vertical frame 13 is provided on both sides of the fence 10 (only one is shown in the figure), and has connecting pieces 18, 18 for connecting to the pillar 17 at a midway portion in a flat plate shape. Although illustration is omitted, of course, the pillar 17 is formed with a connecting portion at an interval equal to the interval between the connecting pieces 18, 18. The vertical member 14 and the horizontal member 15 are thin hollow cylindrical members.

Although not shown in detail, the flange 16, the column 17, the vertical frame 13 and the connecting pieces 18, 18 of the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12, and the vertical member 14 and the horizontal member 15 are different from each other. A hole is provided at the connection point with the member. For example, in FIG. 3, the vertical member 14 and the horizontal member 15 are connected to each other, and the pin 20 is inserted through the hole 19 of the vertical member 14 into the hole (not shown) of the horizontal member 15. Then, the pin 20 penetrates the cross member 15, and the penetration end is provided with a retainer in a normal manner to form a pin coupling structure. Therefore, the respective members connected by the pin connection are rotatable with the pin 20 as the rotation axis. The connecting piece 18 may be omitted and the vertical frame 13 may be directly pin-connected to the connecting portion of the pillar 17.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, when the fence of the present invention is installed in a place where there is an inclined part and a step is formed across the inclined part, the connecting piece 1 of one vertical frame 13 8 is pinned to the connecting portion of the pillar 17, and the vertical frame 13 on the other side is moved so that the connecting piece 18 is aligned with the connecting portion of the pillar 17, so that the upper frame 11, the lower frame 12, and the horizontal member 15 are vertical frames. According to the change of position of 13, the members rotate while keeping parallel to each other, and accordingly, the vertical member 14 rotates and moves in parallel to change the angle formed with the horizontal member 15. That is, in the example of FIG. 2, the shape can be changed from a rectangular shape to a parallelogram shape, and the fences 10 can be mounted between the pillars 17 without causing a step difference between them as in the conventional case.

FIG. 4 shows another example of a connecting structure of vertical members and horizontal members. In this example, a grid connecting member is used to connect the vertical members and the horizontal members. The illustrated grid connecting member 21 is a hollow rod-shaped member 22 having a diameter slightly larger than that of the vertical members 14a and the horizontal members 15a. The central portions of 23 are crushed to form flat portions 22a and 23a, and holes 24 formed in these portions are overlapped and connected through a pin (not shown). The vertical members 14a and the horizontal members 15a are attached by fitting one ends thereof into the tubular portions 22b and 23b of the rod-shaped members 22 and 23, respectively. Needless to say, the grid connecting member 21 is not limited to the structure shown in the drawing, and various members such as a structure in which two thin flat plates are combined by pin coupling can be adopted. Further, FIG. 4 shows only one connecting point, and when the lattice connecting member 21 of this embodiment is adopted, for example, the lattice connecting member 21 is arranged at all connecting points of the vertical members and the horizontal members of FIG. Then, both ends of each of the vertical members and the horizontal members are fitted into the tubular portions 22b and 23b of the rod-shaped members 22 and 23 to be attached.

In this example as well, the operation of each member at the time of mounting is almost the same as the previous example, but the rotation is limited to the flat portions 21 and 22 of each other, and the rotatable angular range θ is the previous example. Will be smaller than. However, the dimensions of the flat portions 21 and 22 may be set so that the angle range θ is an appropriate angle, and do not hinder the installation of the fence of the present invention.

FIG. 5 shows still another example of the connecting structure of the vertical members and the horizontal members. In this example, the vertical member 14b and the horizontal member 15b each have an opening groove 25, and the pin 20 is connected through a hole provided in the groove. In this example, the pin 20 is almost invisible from the outside at the connection point between the vertical member 14b and the horizontal member 15b, so that the appearance is improved as compared with the previous two examples.

Of course, the present invention is not limited to the shape, size, structure, etc. of each of the embodiments described above, and is not limited to the furring strip fence, and can be applied to fences of various conventionally known structures. . Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, one fence is attached between a pair of pillars, but the fence of the present invention may be one in which the fences are directly connected by a connecting portion.

[0017]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the fence according to claim 1 has a pin connection structure for connecting the structural members such as the vertical members and the horizontal members, so that the inclination angle is free, and the fence can be installed along the inclination and the step difference of the installation place. It is possible to freely change the installation state of the fence, and it is possible to smoothly connect the whole structure without stairs, without preparing multiple types of columns or cutting down the columns on site, which gives the appearance It has many effects such that it will be greatly improved.

In the fence according to the second aspect of the invention, since the vertical member and the horizontal member are connected at each of the connection points by the lattice connecting member in which a pair of connecting members are crossed and rotatably pin-connected, the common member is used. In addition to the above effect, there is an effect that the pin connection structure of the vertical member and the horizontal member can be easily formed, and the assembling work can be performed easily and with a small man-hour.
