Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a block for the simple execution of works being lightweight and being not rotated when the block is stacked and a rack suitable for gardening using the block. SOLUTION: Cavity sections 2 and through-holes 3 are formed so as to connect the top face and underside of the block 1 while indented sections 4 are formed to the top face of the block 1. The blocks 1 are stacked at multistages and used as supports 7, and the rack 9 for gardening is constituted by stretching shelf boards 8 among a plurality of the supports 7, 7. The indented sections 4 are arranged so as to be placed on the underside side only in the block 1 at a lowermost stage. Wires are passed through the through-holes 3 of the blocks 1 configuring the supports for mutually coupling the blocks 1, wedge stoppers are inserted and attached at both upper-lower tips of the wires, and the wires are tensed. The wedge stoppers are arranged into the indented sections 4.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a simple construction block and a rack suitable for gardening using the block.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Gardening racks are often made of wood or metal such as stainless steel or bronze.
Various shapes with good durability and according to the taste of the user,
There is a need for a block made of a block such as a brick, which can freely create a block having a size. However, brickwork requires mortar to connect the bricks together, which is difficult for a layman to handle.

[0003] In order to enable easy bricking, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 59-213847 discloses that a hole is made in a brick and a reinforcing bar is passed through the hole.

[0004]

The above-mentioned JP-A-59-2
No. 13847 bricks are stacked in multiple stages, and only one reinforcing bar passes through each brick, so that the stacked bricks can easily rotate around the reinforcing bars.

[0005] In addition, since the holes for the reinforcing bars are simply formed, the weight is large.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem and to provide a simple construction block which is lightweight and does not rotate a pillar block formed by stacking, and a rack using the same. And

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A block for simple construction according to the present invention is a block which is stacked in a plurality of stages, wherein a through hole is provided in a vertical direction in a stacked state and at least one of an upper surface and a lower surface. Are concave portions, and a hollow portion is provided in a direction connecting the upper surface and the lower surface.

This block has a hollow portion in addition to the through hole and is lightweight.

In addition, in the case of this block, a plurality of stages are stacked to form a column, a shelf is bridged between the columns in one or more stages, and the blocks are firmly connected to each other through a binding member in a through hole of the block of the column. They can be connected to form a rack. Also, at the top of the column, the recess is located on the upper side, and at the bottom, the recess is located on the lower side,
A member for locking the tying tool can be arranged in each recess. The block is preferably made of brick.

[0010]

FIG. 1 (a) is a perspective view of a simple construction block 1 according to an embodiment, FIG. 1 (b) is a sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. 1 (a), and FIG. Is II-II in FIG. 1 (b).
It is sectional drawing which follows a line.

The block 1 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and is used such that a surface composed of a short side and a long side is an upper surface and a lower surface, and a center side having an intermediate length between them is a vertical direction.

A cavity 2 and a through hole 3 are provided so as to connect the upper surface and the lower surface of the block 1, and a concave portion 4 is formed on the upper surface of the block 1.

An intermediate wall 5 is provided so as to connect the left side and the right side of the block 1. The cylindrical portion 6 surrounding the through hole 3 is connected to both the left side surface and the right side surface of the block 1.

The block 1 is made of brick, and is extruded so as to have, for example, an intermediate wall 5 and a cylindrical portion 6.
The cylindrical portion 6 is formed by cutting off the upper surface side, and then dried and fired to form a block having the illustrated shape.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the blocks 1 constructed as described above are stacked in multiple stages to form columns 7, and a horticulture is achieved by bridging a shelf 8 between the columns 7, 7. Rack 9 is configured.

Note that only the lowermost block 1 is
The recess 4 is arranged so as to be on the lower surface side. Block 1 that constitutes a support 7 to connect the blocks 1
The binding wire 11 such as a wedge stopper is inserted into the upper and lower ends of the wire 10 so that the wire 10
Are nervous. The binding tool 11 such as a wedge stopper is disposed in the recess 4.

The shelf plate 8 is made of a plate made of stainless steel or the like, and is sandwiched between blocks 1 of an appropriate number of steps. The shelf plate 8 has an opening (not shown) through which the wire 10 passes.

A plate 12 made of ceramic, natural stone, or the like is laid on the shelf 8 to cover the shelf 8,
The appearance (particularly the texture) of the block 1 made of bricks is unified. The flowerpot 13 and the like are placed on the plate 12.

This simple construction block 1 has a cavity 2 and a through hole 3 and is lightweight. This block 1 is 2
It is connected and integrated by a binding wire 11 such as a book wire 10 and a wedge stopper, and the block 1 of the column 7 does not rotate.

The column 7 can be set to a desired height by changing the number of steps of the block 1, and the shelf 8 can be arranged at the desired height.

Although the struts 7 connect the blocks 1 with each other by wires 10, bolts or the like may be used instead of the wires. However, if it is a wire, it can be easily cut to a desired length by a nipper, pliers or the like.

Although the columns shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are arranged with one block per stage, two or more blocks 1 may be arranged per stage. In this case, the adjacent blocks 1 may be connected by connecting pieces 14 shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b). The connection piece 14 is provided with openings 15 and 16 for passing the wire 10 and the like. In addition, this connecting piece 1
4 can be used for connecting adjacent blocks to each other even when the blocks 1 are stacked in a wall shape in addition to the columns.

[0023]

As described above, the block of the present invention is light in weight and can be used to constitute a rack support suitable for gardening. The struts are connected by tying tools, and the blocks do not rotate. This rack has a natural taste by making blocks made of bricks and further laying natural stone or ceramic plates on shelves.
