2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 9, a fence frame 4 in which an upper furring strip 1 and a lower furring strip 2 are connected via a vertical crosspiece 3 so as to be movable in parallel, is attached to a column 6 standing on a slope 5. At this time, the upper and lower furrows 1 and 2 move in parallel with each other (that is, the vertical crosspiece 3 can be tilted while keeping vertical) to follow the slope of the sloping ground, so it can be used as a fence frame for sloping ground fences. It is suitable. Conventionally, when this kind of fence frame 4 is attached to the support pillar 6, as shown in FIG.
To the column 6 and the fence frame 4 to the column joint 7.
It is common to connect the ends of the upper and lower furrows 1 and 2 with a bolt 8. As an example of using such a horizontal strut joint, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-1158 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 54-2450
No.8, No. 62-3497, No. 62-7514
There is No. 7. In the case of using this type of horizontal strut joint 7, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 9, there is a step in the connection of the furring strips 1 on both sides of the strut 6 at the location of the strut joint 7.
Since the furrows 1 and 2 do not have a straight slope, it is not aesthetically pleasing.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, the applicant of the present application has previously made horizontal portions 9a and 9b extending to the left and right, an upward connecting portion 9c extending upward from one end portion thereof, and a downward portion from the other end portion thereof. Proposed and filed a column joint 9 that has a downward connecting portion 9d extending in the direction of the arrow, and has a plurality of connecting holes 9e formed in the upward connecting portion 9c and the downward connecting portion 9d, respectively.
Application for utility model on November 30, 2013). According to the strut joint 9, it is possible to eliminate a step in the strut portions of the furring strips 1 and 2 and obtain a straight inclination.

[0004]

According to the strut joint 9, the upper and lower furring rims 1 and 2 can obtain a straight line gradient without a step at the strut portion, but the upper and lower furring rims 1 and 2 have a plurality of slopes. There is some complexity as one of the connecting holes 9e has to be selected. Further improvements are desired to facilitate on-site construction. Also, it is not completely arbitrary for the gradient, but is a stepwise response.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances. In the case where the upper furring strips of the fence frame are connected to each other so as to form a straight slope without steps, the lower furring strips also have a straight line without steps. It is an object of the present invention to provide a strut joint that can be easily attached to a strut as a slope of and can handle continuous slopes.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a fence frame comprising an upper furring strip and a lower furring strip which are connected to each other so as to be movable in parallel with each other via a vertical crosspiece. A pillar joint for connecting the lower furring strip to the pillar in the case where the pillar portion is connected to the pillar so that there is no step difference, and a central mounting portion to be mounted on the pillar and horizontal portions extending from the mounting portion to the left and right respectively. And an upward connecting portion extending upward from an end of one horizontal portion, and a downward connecting portion extending downward from an end of the other horizontal portion. The upward and downward connecting portions have connection lengths in a substantially vertical direction. It is characterized by having a hole.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the connecting elongated hole of the strut joint is formed in an arc shape having a center on the center line of the strut.

[0008]

In the above structure, when the upper furring strip of the fence frame is connected to the strut by means that does not cause a step at the strut portion, the lower furring strip automatically follows the upper furring strip by its own weight and becomes parallel to the upper furring strip. . At this time, since the connecting hole of the strut joint is an elongated hole, the lower furring strip may be connected to the strut joint only by tightening and fixing the connecting bolt in the same position. As a result, the lower furring strip can also have a straight slope that does not cause a step in the strut portion like the upper furring strip. Further, since the connecting hole is a long hole, it is possible to continuously cope with an arbitrary gradient instead of responding stepwise to the gradient.

Further, according to claim 2, the present invention can be applied to a case where the end portion of the upper furring strip is directly connected to the support by a connecting bolt penetrating the center line of the support.

The upper furring strip 12 is arranged with the opening at the bottom and the lower furring strip 13 is arranged with the opening at the top.
8a is opened, the vertical rail 14 is inserted into this hole 18a, and the washer 19 is interposed so that the retaining pin 20 prevents the vertical furrows 12 and 13 from moving in parallel with each other (that is, the vertical rail). Upper and lower furring strips 12, 1 with 14 still vertical
3 are connected so that they are inclined). Further, in FIG. 6, reference numeral 21 is a flange portion 12c of the furring strips 12 and 13,
A pressing bolt for pressing the vertical rail 14 with 13c.

The connecting structure between the upper furring strip 12 and the upper ends of the columns 16 will be described with reference to FIGS.
Is a round pipe. For example, the rectangular cross section 1 is formed by drawing or by welding another member to the upper end of the round pipe.
6a is formed, and holes 16b are formed in the front and rear surfaces (front side and back side of the fence) of this rectangular cross section 16a. The lid 16c is welded and fixed to the upper surface of the rectangular cross section 16a to close it. The end of the upper furring strip 12 on the one side (the one on the right side in FIGS. 2, 3, 4, etc.) that is connected to this rectangular cross section 16a of the column 16 is placed in order to avoid interference with the column 16. A part of the plate portion 12b and the flange portion 12c is cut out, and a connecting hole 12d is opened. The upper furring strip 12 on the other side connected to the rectangular cross-section portion 16a (see FIGS. 2, 3, and 5).
As shown in FIG. 5, a plate material 12e is welded and fixed to the inner surface of the side surface part 12a, a connecting hole 12f is opened in the plate material 12e, and interference with the column 16 is provided. In order to avoid this, a part of the flange portion 12c and the receiving plate portion 12b is cut out. Then, the connecting holes 12d and 12f at the ends of the left and right upper furring strips 12 are aligned with the connecting holes 16b formed in the rectangular cross-section 16a of the support column 16 and the connecting bolts 22 are passed through and the nuts 23 are screwed and tightened to be fixed. . As a result, as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 3 and the like, the upper furring strip 12 is connected to the pillar 16 with a straight line gradient that does not cause a step in the pillar 16.

A position holding metal fitting 17 which is a pillar joint of one embodiment of the present invention for connecting the lower furring strip 13 and the pillar 16 to each other.
2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 7 and 8,
The position-holding metal fitting 17 has a two-piece structure and includes a mounting portion 30 having an arcuate cross-section that abuts on the front surface or the rear surface of the support 16 of the round pipe, and a horizontal portion 31 that horizontally extends from the mounting portion 30 to the left and right. , 32, an upward connecting portion 33 extending upward from an end of one horizontal portion 31, and a downward connecting portion 34 extending downward from an end of the other horizontal portion 32.
And the upward connecting portion 33 and the downward connecting portion 3
Each of the columns 4 is provided with an arc-shaped connecting elongated hole 35 having its center on the center line of the column 16. A mounting hole 36 is formed in the center of the mounting portion 30 of the position holding metal fitting 17,
A mounting hole 37 corresponding to the mounting hole 36 is formed on the pillar 16 side. Reference numeral 38 is the position holding metal fitting 1
A bolt and 39 are nuts for fixing 7 to the column 16. Further, the left and right side surface portions 13a at the ends of the lower furring strip 13 are provided with connecting holes 13g for bolting the lower furring strip 13 to the connecting elongated holes 35 of the position holding fitting 17. Reference numeral 40 is a connecting bolt inserted into the connecting hole 13g of the lower furring strip 13 and the connecting elongated hole 35 of the position holding fitting 17, and 41 is a nut.

Next, a construction procedure for attaching the fence frame 15 to the pillar 16 will be described. The connecting holes 12 at the end of each upper furring strip 12 of the fence frame 15 on both sides of the pillar 16 are described.
Align d and 12f with the connecting holes 16b formed in the rectangular cross section 16a of the support column 16 and allow the connecting bolts 22 to penetrate therethrough, and the nuts 23
Screw together and tighten to fix. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 3 and the like, the upper furring strip 12 is connected to the pillar 16 with a straight gradient without any step in the pillar 16.

At this time, the lower furring strip 13 automatically follows the upper furring strip 12 by its own weight and becomes parallel to the upper furring strip 12. Since the connection hole 35 of the position holding metal fitting 17 which is a support joint is an elongated hole, the lower furring strip 13 can be connected to the position holding metal fitting 17 only by tightening and fixing it with the connecting bolt 40 at the same position. Good. As a result, the lower furring strip 13
Similarly to the upper furring strip 12, the column can have a straight slope that does not cause a step. Also, since the connecting hole 35 is an elongated hole, it does not correspond to the gradient stepwise,
It is possible to continuously respond to arbitrary gradients. The bolt 40 that connects the ends of the lower furring strip 13 is vertically movable along the arc-shaped connecting hole elongated hole 35 of the position-holding metal fitting 17, but it does not mean that the lower furring strip 13 is unstable. I won't.
That is, since the upper furring strip 12 is firmly supported by the left and right columns 16 by the connecting bolts 22, even if the lower furring strip 13 can rotate in the vertical direction, the position holding fitting 17 allows the lower furring strip 13 to be rotated. If the movement of the lower part of the fence is restricted, the lower furring strip 13 is also supported by the pillar 16 in a stable state, and the entire fence frame 15 is firmly attached to the pillar 16.

In the embodiment, the end of the upper furring strip 12 is directly connected with the connecting bolt 22 penetrating the center line of the supporting column, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the supporting column joint 9 shown in FIG. 10 is used. It can be applied as a connecting means for the lower furring strip when the upper furring strip is connected to the column using.

[0017]

[Effects of the Invention] If the upper furring strip of the fence frame is attached to the strut by a means that does not cause a step at the strut portion, the lower furring strip does not need to select one of a plurality of connecting holes and is automatically Since it is possible to follow the slope of the upper furring, it is easy to install the fence frame.

Further, since the connecting hole is an elongated hole, it is possible to continuously cope with an arbitrary gradient instead of stepwise with respect to the gradient.

Further, claim 2 is applied when the end portion of the upper furring strip is directly connected to the support column by a connecting bolt penetrating the support center line, but the connecting elongated hole is provided on the support center line. Since it has an arcuate shape with a center, the lower furring strip can follow the gradient change of the upper furring strip, and at the same time, its longitudinal movement is restrained, and thus it is stably supported by the column.
