DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure provided to an exterior of a building, and relates to a wall unit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, buildings such as fences, fences, fences, and the like have been provided at the boundaries of buildings (road boundaries and adjacent land boundaries).

[0003] Particularly, when privacy and security are required, a tall fence is provided to strictly surround the entire periphery of the site. At that time, the height of the fence was generally higher than the human viewpoint, and the structure of the fence was generally strong.

[0004] Also, when lighting or ventilation is required, a short fence or fence is provided to improve the visibility around the building and enhance the feeling of freedom.

[0005]

When a site is narrow and a building is close to an adjacent land or a road, a space up to a site boundary facing a window provided on the first floor of the building (hereinafter referred to as a window space). ) Also becomes smaller. In particular, in the case of a house constructed on a small site in an urban area or a densely populated area, there is often no room for securing a sufficient garden in the room between the building and the site boundary. For this reason, the following inconvenience has occurred depending on the above-mentioned structures such as fences, fences and fences.

That is, a tall fence makes the inner room more cramped when the site is narrow. Ventilation and lighting are also poor, reducing the utility as a window space. At the same time, it gives a sense of oppression to the next door and the road side. Also, when the road is narrow, it is dangerous because the visibility near the corner is deteriorated.
The use of heavy materials such as stone and concrete for the fence emphasizes those impressions.

Further, the tall fence obscures the appearance of the building and makes it less visible. Even if the design of the exterior of the building is elaborate, it will be useless.

On the other hand, short fences and fences make it insufficient to ensure privacy and safety. Therefore, it is difficult to provide a large window such as a sweep window on the first floor of the building. When a large window is provided, the user may be worried about the line of sight from a neighboring door or road, and cannot fully utilize the window space.

In order to solve the above-mentioned inconvenience, the present invention secures both privacy and security and a sense of openness inside and outside the premises even when a large window is provided on the first floor of the building. , And in harmony with the exterior of the building,
It is another object of the present invention to provide a fence unit for use in the exterior of a building, which can enhance the utilization of the window space.

[0010]

The fence unit of the present invention comprises:
A balcony that is installed outside of this window facing the window of a size that can be accessed by people provided on the first floor of the building, and the floor surface is made almost as high as the bottom of the window sill, It is characterized by comprising a fence raised on the periphery of the balcony and a frame erected on at least one of the balcony and the fence.

It is fixed to. The horizontal member 42 connects the upper end of the vertical member 41 in the frontage direction and the depth direction. Horizontal material 4
The height of 2 is made to be the floor surface 21 plus about 2.4 m.

As described above, the fence unit 1 of the present invention comprises:
A balcony 2 provided outside the window W is surrounded by a fence 3. Therefore, by setting the fence 3 to an appropriate height, the line of sight from the outside to the window W is blocked, and the feeling of opening the balcony 2 is also obtained. The appropriate height of the fence 3 is the ground surface outside the site plus about 1.6 m or more from the viewpoint of ensuring privacy, and at the same time, the floor surface 21 plus about 1.4 of the balcony 2 from the viewpoint of lighting and ventilation.
m or less. However, this height is determined individually for each building based on the relative relationship between the height of the site and the adjacent land, the height of the foundation 5, and the like. In addition, balcony 2
Is set at a height that allows entry and exit from indoors and outdoors.
Is provided with a void 36 serving as a passage, so that the balcony 2 becomes a window space that can be used for various purposes such as sunbathing, children's play, gardening, eating and drinking, and clothes drying. Further, since the frame 4 is provided on the upper part of the fence 3, various things can be fixed or hung on the frame 4. For example, frame 4
It is also possible to decorate a horticultural planter three-dimensionally or to grow a vine-like plant to create a pergola. In summer, a blind or a wind chime may be hung, and in winter, the frame 4 may be covered with a transparent resin panel and used as a solarium. In this way, the fence unit 1 of the present invention further expands the possibility of being used as a window space.

Next, another embodiment of the wall unit 1 of the present invention is shown in FIGS. However, parts having the same functions as those shown in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the side walls 32a and 32b of the fence unit 1 are extended to near the outer wall of the building, and surround three sides of the floor surface 21. Front wall 31,
The height of the side walls 32a, 32b is the floor surface 21 plus about 1.
At 5 m, it is slightly higher than in the embodiment shown in FIG. The one side wall 32a is provided with an opening 36a for entering and exiting, and the opening 36a is provided with a one-sided door 37. The door 37 is hinged,
It is locked by a vertical member 41a erected at the corner of the floor 21 on the building side. Further, inside the door 37, a lock 38 using a night latch, a bolt, or the like is provided so as to be lockable. With the above-described configuration, this embodiment has further improved security and shielding.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is an installation example of the wall unit 1 when the surface of the window W provided on the first floor of the building A is not parallel to the site boundary line BL. The plan shape of the balcony 2 is trapezoidal according to the shape of the room on the site. Therefore, the side walls 32c, 3
The lengths in the depth direction of 2d are also different from each other. As a result, a deformed window space is created, and the limited room can be utilized without waste.

The fence unit 1 of the present invention is installed outside the window provided on the first floor of the building A so as to allow a person to enter and exit. Is not limited to the pull-out type sweeping window W as described above. For example, even if the window sill is slightly higher than the indoor floor surface, it is only necessary that the window sill can be easily entered and exited by straddling or using a step board. Also, regarding the window opening / closing method, one-sided pull-in, pull-in, draw, one-sided opening, two-sided opening, and the like may be used.

By the way, in the embodiment shown in FIG.
As described above, the construction sequence is as follows: first, the balcony 2 is installed on the foundation 5, the fence 3 is erected, and then the frame 4 is attached to the fence 3. However, the present invention is not limited to this. First, the frame of the fence 3 is erected on the foundation 5, and the siding 33 and the skirting 34 are mounted on the frame, and then the floor of the balcony 2 is provided below the frame of the fence 3. May be provided to lay the floor 21, and then the frame 4 may be fixed to the upper part of the frame of the fence 3 using the support member 43. Alternatively, first, the vertical members 41 are erected and fixed on the foundation 5 to assemble the frame 4, the floor set of the balcony 2 is provided on the frame 4, and the floor surface 21 is laid. The siding 33 and the cap 34 may be attached to finish.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the foundation 5 is constructed separately from the building A, but the foundation 5 is integrally constructed simultaneously with the construction of the building A. There is no problem with construction. In any case, the wall unit 1 can be in a free form from the building A without any structural or form restrictions.

As for the material of the members used for each part of the wall unit 1, the following combinations are appropriate. The floor surface 21 of the balcony 2 has excellent drainage and water permeability, such as a steel cedar board, a resin tile carpet,
It contains concrete panels and gratings. The siding 33 of the fence 3 is a cement-based or ceramic-based molded product, tiled, or the like that is in harmony with the outer wall finishing material of the building A. Alternatively, a resin-based or metal-based panel or lattice that is unified with a blindfold portion or a waist wall portion of another balcony on the upper floor may be used.
The cap 34 of the fence 3 is an aluminum molding material or a cement molding. The vertical member 41, the horizontal member 42, and the support member 43 of the frame 4 are formed of an aluminum molded material or a steel material coated with good weather resistance.

The finish texture and color tone can be selected according to the appearance of the building A. For example, building A
When the building has a heavy impression, the fence unit 1 is also finished with a solid stone-like texture. Conversely, when the building A has a light impression, the fence unit 1 is also finished with a light texture mainly using metal or resin-based materials. Is good. Alternatively, when the building A is a Japanese style, the openness of the fence 3 may be further enhanced to emphasize the delicateness. In this way, the sense of unity between the wall unit 1 and the building A is enhanced.

Conventionally, structures such as fences and fences have been constructed by a limited method in accordance with individual site shapes. However, as described above, when the industrialization and standardization of the members of the wall unit 1 are promoted, the options in terms of the material and design of the members will be enhanced. Then, it can be expected that harmony between the wall unit 1 and the building A or the scenery will be further facilitated.

[0027]

The fence unit of the present invention is installed outside a window provided on the first floor of a building, which is sized to allow entry and exit of a person, and is set up on a balcony and on the periphery of the balcony. The window can be locally shielded due to the provision of the fence.

By setting the fence to an appropriate height, privacy and security can be secured without providing a high fence on the periphery of the site, and the room on the site can be used openly. At the same time, a finishing material that is in harmony with the appearance of the building can be used for each part of the fence unit, and the sense of unity between the fence unit and the building can be enhanced.

Since the balcony is formed at substantially the same height as the lower end of the window sill so that it can enter and exit from indoors and outdoors, it is used for various purposes such as sunbathing, children's play, gardening, eating and drinking, and clothes drying. It becomes a window space where you can do things. Further, since a frame is provided on at least one of the balcony and the fence, various things can be fixed or hung on the frame. Thus, by using the fence unit,
A comfortable and highly usable window space can be obtained.
