Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] Industrial application field This invention is mainly used to green the exposed diagonals, columns, beams, and other single structural members of ultra-large structures such as artificial foundations with climbing plants. This relates to a single structural material greening net used for

PRIOR ART The exposed diagonals, beams, columns, etc. of ultra-large structures such as artificial ground give off a strong artificial atmosphere, giving rise to a kind of alienation to humans. Therefore, by bringing in a lot of natural greenery into these single structural materials, the feeling of alienation can be alleviated.
Attempts are being made to resolve this issue, and emphasis is being placed on the need for greening of structural materials.

Regarding this point, conventionally, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 51-13655
The method of greening a structure described in the publication involves attaching and fixing a mesh frame with a wire mesh stretched over the vertical wall of the structure using fixing fittings, and growing climbing plants on the mesh frame.

Further, the vegetation device described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 51-6060 has a structure in which mesh-shaped vegetation bodies are attached to the outer periphery of a utility pole or the like at appropriate intervals using spacers.

Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention () The structural greening net described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 13655/1983 consists of a mesh frame with wire mesh stretched over it, and is used by being attached and fixed with fixing fittings. Therefore, in order to use it, it is necessary to prepare fixing hardware by welding it to the wall of the structure or drilling a hole and installing a hole-in anchor, which takes a lot of effort to install.

If it is necessary to remove the greening net from the wall of the structure, the fixing metal fittings will remain, and even if the fixing metal fittings are removed, there will be problems and problems such as welding marks and drilling marks remaining. be.

Furthermore, since this structural greening net has a structure with a mesh frame, it is not flexible enough to be used by wrapping it around a single structural member such as a diagonal member, a column, or a beam. Moreover, since the size (area) and shape are predetermined, there is a problem that it is difficult to use.

JP-A-51-13655 states that a gap is formed between the wall of the structure and the mesh frame, but what this means is that the mesh frame is pulled to the leading edge of the fixing bracket. Since it is only a means of hanging, and there is no other means to mechanically or structurally define the gap, it is difficult to maintain the gap permanently, and the gap may be lost and the state of plant establishment may deteriorate. There is a risk that the heat from the wall will be transferred directly to the mesh frame and have a negative effect on the plants.

() Next, the vegetation device described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 51-6060 has a configuration in which rod-shaped spacers are erected inwardly from the net material, and the spacers protrude inwardly in the radial direction of the utility poles to maintain the spacing. Therefore, it is difficult to attach the spacers in advance to the mesh material in the right direction, and even if the spacers are attached in advance, the spacers will protrude when the unused mesh material is unfolded, so it will not be possible to roll it. There is a problem that it is not suitable for handling by rolling it up and is bulky to handle.

Means for Solving the Problems As a means for solving the problems of the above-mentioned prior art, the structure greening net according to this invention is as shown in preferred embodiments in FIGS. 1 to 7 of the drawings. A flexible heat insulating spacer 3 in the form of a moderately thick tape is integrally pasted on one side of the long strip-shaped flexible net 2 in the longitudinal direction, and this is attached to the desired length. It was cut into strips and wrapped around a single structural member 4 or 5 such as a pillar or beam, and the joints were connected and fixed with a connector 6 so that it could be used as a base for a climbing plant to grow on.

Function This single-structural greening net 1 is manufactured as a long product, rolled into a roll for transportation, storage, etc., and cut into required lengths for use. For single structural members such as diagonal members, columns 4, and beams, use the elasticity and flexibility of the net 2 to wrap it tightly, and connect it with the connectors 6, 7, and 8 (Figs. 5, 6, and 7). By stopping, such single structural members can be easily installed and used without any damage. Of course, it can be freely removed by untying the connector 6, which is convenient for painting iron columns.

In addition, a gap equal to the thickness of the heat insulating spacer 3 can be mechanically secured between the greening net 1 and the outer surface of the structural material via the heat insulating spacer 3, and as heat is not transmitted from the structure, plants can grow. It serves as an excellent substrate, allowing plants to grow well.

Example Next, the embodiment shown in the drawings will be described.

Structural material greening net 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2
Net 2 is made of iron, plastic, wood, bamboo, etc. and has a width of about 50 cm to 100 cm.
Insulating spacers 3, 3, each having a long tape shape and having a thickness of about 3 cm to 5 cm, are integrally pasted in the longitudinal direction of the net 2 along both upper and lower edges of one side of the net 2.

The net 2 is generally made of knitted wire material, but may also be made of a plate material processed like snow spanned metal or punched metal with a large aperture ratio.

The heat insulating spacer 3 is made of rubber, foamed synthetic resin, or the like, and may be in the form of a tape with a rectangular cross section as shown, or in the form of a hollow pipe. In addition to the case where this heat insulating spacer 3 is pasted along both the upper and lower edges of the net 2 as shown in the example shown in the figure, depending on the width dimension of the net 2, one or more heat insulating spacers 3 may be attached to the middle part, each parallel to each other. You can also paste it on. The net 2 and the heat insulating spacer 3 are integrally connected by adhesion, welding, binding, or other methods.

The single-structure greening net 1 having the above-mentioned structure is usually manufactured as a long product and is handled and used by winding it into a roll.

FIG. 3 shows an example in which the greening net 1 is used by being wrapped around a pillar 4 having a square cross section, and FIG. 4 shows an example in which it is used by being wrapped around a pillar 5 having a circular cross section. A long roll-shaped single structure greening net 1 is cut into a length suitable for wrapping around the outer periphery of the pillar 4 or 5, and heat insulating spacers 3, 3 are placed at predetermined positions on the pillar 4 or 5.
is in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the pillar 4 or 5, and is attached by tightly wrapping the net 2 using its elasticity and flexibility. used to live.

As a means for easily tightening the joint at both ends of the structural greening net 1 wrapped around the pillar 4 or 5, the fifth
Connectors 6, 7, 8 shown in Figures 7 to 7 are used.

The connecting tool 6 in FIG.
It has a configuration in which

The connector 7 shown in FIG. 6 has a structure in which hooks 7b, 7b are provided at both ends of an elastic string 7a.

The connector 8 in FIG. 7 consists of two elastic cords 8a, 8a.
The central part of the cord is tied with two rings 8b, 8b, and hooks 8c, 8c are provided at both ends of each elastic cord 8a, 8a.

Any of the connectors 6, 7, 8, the elastic band 6
a or by stretching the elastic cords 7a, 8a to the maximum extent and hooking each hook 6b, 7b, 8c to both ends of the net 2, the structural material greening net 1
can be tied down and attached to structural materials. Therefore, the diagonal members, columns 4 or 5, beams, etc., which are single structural members, can be used without any damage, and the structure greening net 1 can be applied to them during necessary maintenance such as painting, cleaning, and renovation. It is convenient because it can be easily removed together with the epiphytic climbing plants.

Effects of the present invention As described above in detail together with the examples, the single structural material greening net 1 according to this invention is as follows.
can be attached to or removed from a single structural member such as a column 4 or 5 or a beam at will and extremely easily without damaging the structural member at all. Therefore, the workability of greening a single structural material is good, and the adaptability to the maintenance required for the structural material is excellent.

Regardless of whether it is a single structural member such as a diagonal member, column, or beam, its external dimensions and cross-sectional shape (circle,
It is flexible and easy to use regardless of its shape (corners, etc.).

Since the heat insulating spacer 3 reliably maintains a gap in a state in which the net 2 is sufficiently lifted from the surface of the structural material, the epiphytic climbing plants can easily wrap around it, providing a good growing environment. Furthermore, the net 2 floats above the surface of the structural material due to the heat insulating spacer 3 and prevents heat from being transmitted from the structural material, thereby ensuring a favorable environment for the growth of climbing plants.

In this way, this structural material greening net 1 allows for extensive and sufficient greening of structural materials, which helps alleviate and eliminate the artificial coldness and alienation that general large structures give to humans, and improves the environment. Contribute.
