DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fence post.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as this kind, as shown in FIG. 9, a hollow columnar main body 82 made of aluminum is used to improve the appearance and to prevent rainwater or the like from entering the inside of the main body 82. A fence post 8 comprising a lid member 83 that is attached to the upper end surface of the post body 82 in order to prevent it.
There was one.

In order to form a bamboo fence (an example of a fence) using the fence posts 81, first, a pair of channel members 84 having a substantially U-shaped cross section are provided on the side surfaces of a post body 82 as shown in FIG. Attach with 85. Although only the upper end portion is shown in FIG. 9, in order to secure the mounting strength, each channel material 84 is provided with a tapping screw 85 at a plurality of locations at appropriate intervals in the longitudinal direction.
Is fixed to the support body 82.

[0004] Then, the lower ends of the plurality of column main bodies 82 to which the channel members 84 are attached are inserted into respective column fixing holes 86 dug in the ground as shown in FIG.
Opposing channel members 84 of adjacent fence posts 81
Are connected to each other by a square tubular body edge 87a. Next, a plurality of artificial bamboo materials 88 formed in a cylindrical shape simulating bamboo with a synthetic resin are sequentially fitted between the opposed channel materials 84 such that both ends of the artificial bamboo materials 88 are inserted into the grooves of the channel material 84. Go into it.

[0005] When the artificial bamboo material 88 is fitted in the middle of the channel material 84 in the longitudinal direction, an intermediate rim 87 is inserted there.
After interposing b, the artificial bamboo material 88 is continuously fitted. Then, when the artificial bamboo material 88 is fitted to the vicinity of the upper end of the channel material 84, the upper ends of the opposed channel materials 84 are connected to each other by the upper rim 87c. FIG.
At 0, reference numeral 89 denotes a concrete foundation cast in the support fixing hole 86, and 90 denotes a standing beam mainly attached for decoration.

[0006]

However, when a bamboo fence is formed by using the conventional fence support 81,
Since the channel material 84 is attached to the support body 82 by a tapping screw 85 that penetrates the bottom surface of the groove, the channel material 84 is attached to the torso 87a to 87c or the artificial bamboo material 88, and then the channel material 84 is removed. It could not be attached to the column body 82.

Therefore, for example, a pair of channel members 8 connected in parallel at predetermined intervals by body edges 87a to 87c.
A method of assembling a panel body holding a plurality of artificial bamboo materials 88 between the four in advance at a factory or the like, transporting the panel body to a bamboo fence installation site and attaching the panel body between pillars cannot be adopted. As we did, we had to assemble the whole bamboo fence from scratch at the installation site. Therefore, when there is not enough space, for example, when the vehicle is installed along a road where automobiles frequently pass, the operation is difficult. In addition, since most of the work is performed outdoors, the construction period may be delayed due to the weather or the like.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fence support that can facilitate installation work of a fence such as a bamboo fence.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a fence support provided with a support body and a lid member which is attached to an upper end surface of the support body. It is configured so as to be divided into a pair of unit pillars of the same shape having an abutting surface along the longitudinal direction of the pillar, and the upper ends of the unit pillars whose abutting surfaces are abutted to each other are connected by the lid member. is there.

[0010] Further, a fitting convex portion and a fitting concave portion which are fitted at the time of the butting and positioned between the unit posts are formed on the butting surfaces of the unit posts.

[0011] In this specification, "fence" means
It is a general term for fences, fences, and the like that are installed for purposes such as enclosures and blindfolds.

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A fence post according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, the fence post 1 includes a column-shaped column main body 2 and a disk-shaped lid member 3 that is put on the upper end surface of the column main body 2.

The column body 2 is formed by a pair of unit columns 4 having the same shape, which is divided into two in the diameter direction. That is, each unit column 4 is formed into a cylindrical shape having a semicircular cross section as shown in FIG. 2 by extruding aluminum or the like, and a plane corresponding to the chord of the semicircle is the abutting surface 5 of the unit columns 4. ing. The butting surface 5 is formed continuously from one end to the other end thereof along the longitudinal direction of the unit column 4.

A ridge 6 having a triangular cross section is
(An example of a fitting convex portion) and a concave groove 7 (an example of a fitting concave portion)
The unit columns 4 are formed in parallel to each other continuously in the longitudinal direction. When the ridge 6 and the concave groove 7 constitute the column main body 2 by abutting the butting surfaces 5 and 5 of the pair of unit columns 4 and 4 as shown in FIG. By fitting into the concave groove 7 of the other unit support 4, the positioning is performed so that the positional relationship between the unit supports 4 does not shift in the diameter direction of the support main body 2.

Further, four screw grooves 8 are formed on the inner surface of each unit column 4. The screw groove 8 has a substantially Ω-shaped cross section in which a part of a circle is cut out, and a tapping screw of a predetermined thickness is screwed into each screw groove 8 from the end face of the unit support column 4 so as to be screwed. Has become. Further, each screw groove 8 is continuous in the longitudinal direction of the unit support 4, and even when the unit support 4 is cut in the middle for length adjustment, tapping is performed on each screw groove 8 from an end surface generated by the cut. Screws can be screwed in.

The cover member 3 is made of a metal material such as aluminum or a synthetic resin material, and is formed in a disk shape having eight through holes 9 in a peripheral portion. As shown in FIG. 1, the through hole 9 is disposed at a position where the center overlaps with each screw groove 8 in a state where the column main body 2 is formed from the pair of unit columns 4, and the lid member 3 is formed.
Is mounted on the upper end surface of the column main body 2, and the tapping screws 10 inserted into the respective through holes 9 are screwed into the screw grooves 8, thereby fixing the lid member 3 to the column main body 2, thereby forming a pair of unit columns 4. Are connected to each other by a lid member 3.

Next, a process for forming a bamboo fence (an example of a fence) using the fence support 1 constructed as described above will be described. First, as shown in FIG.
A channel material 11 having a substantially U-shaped cross section is attached to the surface opposite to the butting surface 5 with a tapping screw 10. Reference numeral 12 denotes a prepared hole for a tapping screw that has been drilled in advance. FIG. 3 shows only the lower end portion of the channel member 11, but the channel member 11 is fixed to the unit column 4 by tapping screws 10 at a plurality of locations at appropriate intervals in the longitudinal direction.

Next, the lower rim 13a is attached. Here, one end of the body edge 13a is inserted into the lower end of the groove of the channel material 11, and the body edge 13a is
Then, a tapping screw 10 is screwed in and fixed (see FIG. 3). Similarly, the other end of the body edge 13a is fixed to the lower end of the channel material 11 attached to another unit column 4. As described above, the two unit pillars 4 are connected by the body edge 13a in a state where the grooves of the channel material 11 fixed thereto are opposed to each other.

A plurality of artificial bamboo materials 14 formed of a synthetic resin into a cylindrical shape are inserted into the grooves of the channel material 11 between the channel materials 11 connected to each other as described above. Into the state to be done. When the artificial bamboo material 14 is fitted in the middle of the channel material 11 in the longitudinal direction, the intermediate bamboo edge 13b is interposed here, and then the artificial bamboo material 14 is fitted. When the artificial bamboo material 14 is fitted to the vicinity of the upper end of the channel material 11, the upper ends of the opposing channel materials 11 are connected to each other by the upper waist 13c in the same manner as described above. As described above, as shown in FIG. 4, a panel body 15 in which the unit columns 4 are arranged on both side edges with the butting surface 5 facing outward is formed. Note that reference numeral 16 indicates a child.

Next, a bamboo fence is formed by using a plurality of such panel bodies 15. Here, first, the unit columns 4 of the adjacent panel bodies 15, 15 are inserted one by one into each column fixing hole 17 dug at a predetermined pitch in the ground as shown in FIG. In addition, in order to adjust the appearance, one unit column 4 to which the channel material 11 is not attached is inserted into the column fixing hole 17a located at the end of the bamboo fence. In a state where the butting surfaces 5 are butted against each other, the pair of unit posts 4 are tied together near the lower end thereof by a fastening member 18 such as a wire or a rope, and at the upper end as shown in FIG. The lid member 3 is put on. Thereafter, a concrete foundation (not shown) is poured into the support fixing holes 17 and 17a and solidified to complete the bamboo fence.

If the fence support 1 is used, the panel body 15 is assembled in advance in a factory or the like remote from the installation site of the bamboo fence, and the assembled panel body 15 is transported to the installation site to form the bamboo fence. Can be. This allows
Since the ratio of on-site work can be reduced compared to the conventional method where the entire bamboo fence had to be assembled from the beginning at the installation site, it can be installed easily and efficiently even when there is not enough room on the site Work can proceed.
Further, since the on-site work can be reduced, there is less danger that the construction period will be delayed due to the weather or the like.

Further, since the pair of unit posts 4 have the same shape, they can be manufactured by one kind of manufacturing apparatus. In addition, the pair of unit posts 4 have a function of adjusting the appearance of the posts to the cover member 3 and a function of connecting the unit posts 4. By doing so, the number of parts can be reduced. Therefore, the manufacturing cost does not increase significantly as compared with the related art, and the fence post 1 can be supplied at relatively low cost.

Further, the lower end is solidified by a concrete foundation, and the upper end is connected by a lid member 3 so that the pair of unit columns 4 constituting the column main body 2 are brought into close contact with the butting surfaces 5. And the ridge 6 and the concave groove 7 are fitted in this state, so that a pair of unit columns 4
Are to be integrated and reinforce each other. Therefore, the strength of the support body 2 is high, and the support body 2 is not easily damaged even when the bamboo fence receives a strong wind. However, in the present invention, an embodiment in which the ridge 6 and the concave groove 7 are not formed on the butting surface 5 is also conceivable.

FIG. 6 is a plan view of a unit support according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a plan view of a lid member used in combination with the unit support of FIG. In the above-described embodiment, the column body 2 has a columnar shape. The unit column 4a in FIG. 6 is used when forming an octagonal column main body, and is different from the unit column 4 in the following points in addition to the basic shape. That is, over the entire butting surface 5a,
A plurality of ridges 6 and concave grooves 7 are formed alternately. On the surface opposite to the butting surface 5a, a holding groove 19 for inserting and holding an end of a trunk or a bamboo material is formed continuously in the longitudinal direction of the unit column 4a. Holding groove 1
The back surface portion 9 and the inner surface on the side of the butting surface 5 a are connected by a reinforcing rib 20.

The cover member 3a has a plate shape of an octagon in plan view.
Through holes 9 are formed near the corners, respectively.
When the octagonal column body 2a is formed by abutting a pair of the unit columns 4a, the thread groove 8 of each unit column 4a and the through-hole 9 of the lid member 3a are aligned, and a tapping screw is screwed into this. Thereby, the lid member 3a can be fixed to the column body 2a.

Since the holding groove 19 is formed in the unit column 4a, it is not necessary to attach the channel member 11 as described above. In this case, the body edge 13 was fixed to the bottom surface of the holding groove 19 by using the tapping screw 10 as shown in FIG. 8 and was inserted into the bracket 21 and the holding groove 19. It can be attached by fixing the lower surface of the trunk 13.

By the way, it goes without saying that the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above description. For example, in the above description, the fitting projection and the fitting recess are formed by the ridges 6 and the grooves 7, but the projections such as the columnar and prism-shaped projections protruding from the butting surface are formed on the butting surface so that they can be fitted. It is also conceivable to form a fitting projection and a fitting recess with the provided holes.

In the above description, the lid members 3 and 3a are fixed to the column main bodies 2 and 2a with the tapping screws 10. However, the method of fixing the lid members is not limited to screwing, and the lid members 3 and 3a are fitted with the openings at the upper end of the column main body. A configuration in which a convex part having a shape is formed on the lower surface of the lid member and the lid part is fixed to the column body by pushing the convex part into the opening may be adopted.

Further, in the above description, when forming the column main body 2, the vicinity of the lower ends of the pair of unit columns 4 is connected to each other by the fastening member 18. However, in addition to the upper end surface of the column main body 2, the lid member is also provided on the lower end surface. It is also conceivable that the lower end portions of the unit columns 4 are connected to each other by the cover member 3. However,
After that, the surroundings can be hardened with a concrete foundation, so that the connection by the fastening member 18 is generally sufficient.

Further, in the above description, a bamboo fence using a large number of artificial bamboo materials 14 is shown as a fence, but it goes without saying that the fence formed by the fence support of the present invention is not limited to the bamboo fence. That is, the fence support of the present invention is not limited to the case where a large number of tubular or columnar members such as the artificial bamboo material 14 are juxtaposed to constitute the fence surface, and the case where a plate-like fence surface constituent member is used. It is also possible to apply, also in this case, by assembling in advance a panel body with unit pillars attached to both side edges of the plate-shaped fence surface component member with the butting surfaces facing out, The effect of being able to easily perform the operation is achieved.

[0031]

As described above, when the fence post according to the present invention is used, a plurality of panel bodies in which unit posts are respectively arranged on both side edges with their butting surfaces facing outward are formed. A fence can be formed by connecting the unit pillars of the body with their butting surfaces facing each other. Therefore, it is also possible to assemble the panel body in advance at a factory or the like remote from the fence installation site, and to transport the assembled panel body to the installation site to form the fence, thereby reducing the ratio of on-site work. Therefore, the installation work can be easily and efficiently performed even when there is not enough room in the work space at the site. Further, since the on-site work can be reduced, the influence on the construction period and the like due to the weather and the like can be eliminated as much as possible.

In the case where the fitting projection and the fitting recess are formed on the butting surface of the unit support, the fitting projection and the fitting recess are fitted and positioned when the support body is formed. In addition to preventing displacement between them, the pair of unit columns reinforce each other by the fitting of the fitting protrusions and the fitting recesses, so that the strength of the pillar body is improved.
