2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 10, 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. Time,
The upper and lower furrows 1 and 2 move in parallel with each other (that is, the vertical bar 3
It is suitable as a fence frame for fences for sloping terrain because it can follow the slope of a sloping ground while keeping it vertical. Conventionally, when this kind of fence frame 4 is attached to a pillar 6, as shown in the same figure, a horizontal pillar joint 7 is attached to the pillar 6, and the pillar joint 7 is attached to the upper and lower furrows 1 and 2 of the fence frame 4. It is common to connect the ends with bolts 8. As an example of using such a horizontal column joint, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-1158 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 54-245.

There is No. 47 etc. In the case of using this type of horizontal strut joint 7, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 10, there is a step in the connection between the furring strips 1 on both sides of the strut 6 at the strut joint 7, and the furring strips 1, 2 Is not a straight line, so it is not aesthetically pleasing.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, 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 slope.

[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. In addition, the point where the upward and downward connecting portions 9c and 9d protrude upward or downward from the furring strips 1 and 2 (portion indicated by arrow E in FIG. 11) is also slightly undesirable in appearance.

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 the column, can cope with continuous slopes, and has a good appearance of mounting to the strut.

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 when the pillar is connected so that no step is formed at the pillar, and a horizontally extending bracket fixed to the pillar and a pin for connecting the bracket to the bracket. A connecting plate having two connecting holes for connecting and a connecting hole that is also pin-connected at the end of the lower furring strip by a connecting bolt, and one of the connecting holes is a long hole; It is characterized by having.

[0007]

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, the connection plate of the column joint moves along with the end of the lower furring strip while maintaining the connection between the bracket on the column side and the lower furring strip. In that position, it is sufficient to fasten it to the bracket or the lower furring strip with connecting bolts. 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. Also, since the connecting plate can be rotated arbitrarily,
Instead of responding stepwise to gradients, it is possible to respond continuously to arbitrary gradients.
