DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an assembling method for assembling a gate post at a construction site.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When installing a gate post at an entrance of a residential site, it is usual that the gate post is completed in a factory in advance and is carried to the site for construction. It is said that it is preferable that the gate post made of stone or concrete has a large weight and requires labor and labor for transportation, so that it is as light as possible and easy to construct.

In response to such a request, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 8-232567,
There is known a structure in which a plurality of columns are connected to form a predetermined shape, and a surface panel is attached to adjacent columns. As a result, since the inside becomes hollow, there is an advantage that a large-sized pillar can be manufactured at a lower cost than a pillar made of an extruded aluminum material, and since the weight is light, the transportation is facilitated.

[0004]

However, since the above-mentioned pillars are preassembled and presupposed to be erected at the construction site, a heavy-weight front panel cannot be used. When a heavy panel is used, a total of four panels are used for a square pillar-shaped gate post, so that the total weight increases and one worker cannot easily carry the panel. For this reason, the above-mentioned gate pillar is inevitably disadvantageous in that it lacks a heavy feeling and a heavy feeling like a stone or concrete gate pillar.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of assembling a gate post capable of solving the above-mentioned disadvantages and assembling a heavy gate post using a heavy panel even by one worker.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a method of assembling a gate post according to the present invention comprises connecting four posts to each other so as to form square vertices by connecting metal fittings, and then connecting the above-mentioned posts. Standing on the installation surface, panels are attached to adjacent columns, and caps are attached to the upper opening.

[0007] It is preferable that bolts are fastened from the inside of the panels except for the rear panel.

In this case, only the rear panel of the panels may be attached after attaching the cap.

[0009] It is preferable that a hinge mounting portion is formed over the entire length of the rear column of the columns, and the rear panel of the panels is mounted so as not to overlap the hinge mounting portion. Moreover, it is preferable that the hinge mounting portion is formed in a groove shape.

Further, it is preferable that a locking member is provided on the back surface of each of the panels except for at least the rear panel, and a panel receiving fitting locked by the locking member is formed on each of the columns.

[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A method of assembling a gate post according to the present invention will be briefly described with reference to the drawings. In this assembling method, as shown in FIG. After connecting so as to form a square vertex, the column 1 is erected on the installation surface, three panels 3 are attached to the adjacent column 1, and then the cap 4 is attached to the upper end opening, and finally the rear side By attaching the panel 3A. Note that a symbol a indicates a baseboard. The skirting board a increases the connection strength of the column 1 and facilitates the mounting of the panel 3, but is not always necessary.

As shown in FIG. 2, the column 1 is formed of an extruded material made of aluminum or an alloy thereof having a substantially rectangular cross section, and a step portion is formed on a side surface adjacent to a corner portion outside a diagonal line connecting the column 1. 5 are formed. A nut receiving groove 7 is formed over the entire length at an inner corner portion inside a diagonal line connecting the columns 1. Further, the pillar 1 on the rear side of the pillar 1 has a groove-shaped hinge mounting portion 8 over its entire length.
Are formed, and the step portion 5 is continuous from each hinge attachment portion 8.

At the upper and lower positions on the back surface of the step portion 5 of each of the columns 1, a receiving member 9 for the panel 3 is fixed by screws as shown in FIG. A locking groove 10 (see FIG. 7) that opens upward is formed in the panel receiving member 9. An L-shaped bracket 11 for the cap 4 is provided above the receiving groove 7 of the nut.
Is attached.

It should be noted that the hinge mounting portion 8 of the column 1 only needs to have a structure to which a hinge fitting of a gate can be mounted, and is not limited to a groove shape. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which the mounting position of the gate is made thick and a long hole for inserting a fixing bolt is formed therein.

Each of the columns 1 is connected by a connection fitting 2.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the connecting fitting 2 is formed by assembling two elongated metal plates in a cross shape, and each end 2a is bent at a right angle. Then, the head of the bolt 12 is fitted into the nut receiving groove 7, and the bolt 12 is inserted through the bent portion 2 a and fastened by the nut 13 to fix the connection fitting 2.
Thus, the columns 1 are connected to each other at a predetermined interval so as to form a square vertex, and a frame as shown in FIG. 4 can be obtained.

As shown in FIG. 6, the connecting fitting 2 may have a structure in which the four columns 1 are connected by a single plate-like fitting. This connection mode may be the same as that of the connection fitting 2 described above. The baseboard a is also made of metal such as aluminum.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5, a hole is dug in the construction site, and the column 1 is erected on the installation surface b. Since this is only the framework without the panel 3, even one person can sufficiently perform the work. It is preferable that the base of the column 1 is stably fixed with concrete or the like. As described above, in the normal case, the installation surface b is below the ground, and the baseboard a is buried in the ground except for a part.

Further, a panel 3 as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is attached to the adjacent columns 1 standing upright. The panel 3 is preferably a cast panel made of aluminum or an alloy thereof having an appropriate design on the surface, but may be a heavy panel such as iron or copper. Two ridges 14 parallel to the longitudinal direction are formed on both left and right sides on the back side of the panel 3, and protrusions 15 having bolt holes are provided at upper and lower positions of each ridge. A bolt 16 is screwed into the projection 15 in advance. Of the panels 3, the front panel 3 and the side panels 3 are configured as described above, but the rear panel 3A does not necessarily have to be a casting, and may be a normal plate-like panel.

The front panel 3 and the side panels 3 lift each panel 3 and lock the bolt 16 on the back side in the locking groove 10 of the panel receiving fitting 9 of the column 1 as shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the back surfaces of both side edges of each panel 3 abut on the step 5 of the column 1. As a result, the panel 3 is held at a predetermined position. The panel 3 is firmly fixed to the column 1 by turning the nut 17 from the inside to the bolt 16 and firmly fastening it.

In the above-described example, the bolt 16 on the rear surface of the panel 3 is used as a locking member, and this is used as the panel receiving bracket 9 of the support 1.
However, the locking member and the panel receiving fitting are not limited to those described above, as long as the supporting column is locked to the panel.

Thereafter, a cap 4 is attached to an opening formed at the upper end of the column 1 as shown in FIG. Cap 4
A bolt 17 projects downward and is fixed to the back side of the bracket 1. The bolt 17 is inserted into the L-shaped bracket 11 fixed to the upper end of the column 1, and is fixed with a nut 18 from the inside.

Finally, as shown in FIG.
A is brought into contact with the step portion 5 of the column 1 on the rear side, and is screwed and fixed from the outside. The upper end of each panel 3 is engaged with the inside of the edge of the cap 4. Thereby, the bolts for fixing the panel 3 and the cap 4 on the front, left and right side surfaces are not exposed at all on the surface of the gate post. The upper end of each panel 3 is held by a cap 4. As a result, FIG.
Is completed.

As described above, a frame is erected on the installation surface b by the column 1, and the panel 3
Even if the panel 3 itself is heavy, even one person can handle it satisfactorily, so it is possible for one person to assemble a heavy and solid feeling pillar. it can.

Next, the gate post 2 assembled as described above
When the gate 21 is attached to the door 0 as shown in FIG. 13, one of the two hinge attachment portions 8 located on the back side is used. In that case, as shown in FIG.
After the hinges 23 are attached to the pedestal 22, the gate 21 may be attached to the hinges 23. Since the mounting portion 8 is formed in a groove shape, the upper and lower mounting positions of the pedestal 22 can be freely selected, and it is not necessary to perform a hole processing for inserting the fixing bolt of the hinge fitting into the panel. . Since the hinge mounting portions 8 are formed on the left and right sides on the rear side of the gate post, there is no need to perform the operation again even if the mounting positions of the left and right gate posts are mistaken.

The step 5 of the column 1 and the hinge mounting portion 8 are formed so as to be continuous laterally, and the rear panel 3A is configured so as not to overlap with the hinge mounting portion 8.
The rear panel 3A can be removed even while the gate 21 is suspended. Therefore, maintenance work inside the gate post can be easily performed. For the same reason, the rear panel 3A can be attached after attaching the gate 21 to the hinge fitting 23.

As shown in FIG.
When the interphone 5 and the interphone 26 are arranged, the interphone wiring port 27a and the mail port 27b are formed through the front panel 3 as shown in FIG. 15, and the interphone mounting base 29a and the mail receiving base 29b are integrated from above. A cover 30 is formed on the back panel 3, and a cover is also rotatably mounted on the cover 30. Further, inside the gate post 21, an interphone wiring port 27 and a mail box are provided. The upper and lower partition plates 31 may be attached between the mouth 25 and slightly below the outlet. A mail box is formed between the upper and lower partition plates 31.

Each of the panels 3 has a protruding edge 32 projecting inward at a position slightly lower than the lower partition plate 31.
Are formed. When the thin postal matter 33 such as a postcard falls from a gap between the lower partition plate 31 and the inner surface of each panel 3, the protruding edge 32 has an effect of receiving the lower end of the postal matter 33 and preventing the mail 33 from falling off.

The mounting base 29a of the intercom 26
, An interphone 26 is attached, and the cord 36 is wired inside the portal post 21 through the interphone wiring port 27a of the panel 3.

Further, as shown in FIG. 16, a nameplate pedestal 34 is screwed to the front panel 3 as shown in FIG.
5 may be fixed by bonding or the like.

In the above example, only the rear panel 3A is attached after the cap 4 is attached. However, the cap 4 may be attached after all four panels have been attached.

[0031]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, after the four columns 1 connected by the connecting brackets are erected on the installation surface, panels are attached one by one between the adjacent columns 1. Therefore, even if the panel itself is heavy, even one person can handle it satisfactorily, so one worker can assemble a heavy and profound feeling pillar, and at the same time assembling Construction can also be terminated.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the effect of the first aspect, since the bolts are tightened from the inside of the panel except for the rear panel, the bolts are not exposed to the outside. For this reason, the appearance of the gate post is good.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the cap can also be fixed from the inside.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the effect of the first aspect, since the rear panel is attached so as not to overlap with the hinge attaching portion of the rear column, the gate is hung. You can remove the rear panel even if you leave it. Therefore, maintenance work inside the gate post can be easily performed. For the same reason, the rear panel can be attached after attaching the gate to the hinge fitting.

According to the fifth aspect of the invention, in addition to the effect of the second aspect, a locking member is provided on the back surface of each panel except at least the rear panel, and each pillar is locked by the locking member. Since the panel receiving bracket is formed, the panel can be temporarily locked and temporarily fixed after being fixed to the column, so that the assembling work is further facilitated.

According to the invention of claim 6, in addition to the effect of claim 2, it is possible to freely select the upper and lower mounting positions of the hinge fitting of the gate and insert the fixing bolt of the hinge fitting into the panel. There is no need to drill holes to make the holes.
