[0007] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figures 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of an exterior structural member. This exterior structural member comprises a fence 4 installed beside an approach 5 to an entrance on the premises of a house, and an illuminated pole 3 installed in front of and close to the fence 4.

[0008] As shown in Figure 1, the gate sleeve 4 has a main body 6 erected from the ground and a decorative panel 7 attached to the front of the main body 6. The structure of the main body 6 is arbitrary, but it can be made by combining extruded shapes of aluminum alloy, for example. The design panel 7 may be, for example, a ceramic panel such as a large tile, a stone-look panel, or the like. A delivery box 8 and a postbox can be attached to the rear of the side door 4. The delivery box 8 and the postbox are provided with the drop-in / out openings facing to the side (towards the approach 5) or rear.

[0009] As shown in Fig. 3, the illuminated pole 3 is made of an extruded aluminum alloy material and includes a pole body 1 with a substantially rectangular cross section having a front wall 10, a rear wall 11, and left and right side walls 12, 12, and LED line lights 2, 2. The top end of the pole body 1 is closed with a cap 13, as shown in Fig. 4. The distance D (see FIG. 1) between the gate sleeve 4 and the lighted pole 3 is set to 35 to 50 mm (the same applies to the second to fourth embodiments described later).

[0010] As shown in Fig. 3, the pole body 1 has grooves 14 formed along the longitudinal direction in the center of the rear wall 11 in the left-right direction and in positions on the left and right side walls 12, 12 adjacent to the rear wall 11, so that the LED line lights 2 can be selectively attached to three grooves 14, 14, 14 according to the area to be illuminated. In the example shown in Fig. 3, the LED line lights 2 are fitted from the side into the grooves 14 on the left and right side walls 12, 12, and are attached by being housed in the grooves 14. The grooves 14 on the rear wall 11 where the LED line lights 2 cannot be attached are covered with battens 22. The LED line lighting 2 is a commercially available 12V DC lighting fixture, and as shown in Figure 4, is installed over almost the entire length of the pole body 1. Inside the pole body 1, wiring 15, which carries 12V DC current converted from AC current from a commercial power source by a transformer (not shown), is installed through a wiring conduit 16, and this wiring 15 is connected to wiring 17 extending from the LED line lighting 2. The LED line light 2 has a large number of LEDs arranged at intervals along the length of a long case, and as shown in FIG. 3, light 18 is emitted from the entire length of each LED line light 2 laterally.

[0011] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, this exterior component is designed so that light 18 from the LED line lighting 2 on the right side illuminates the design panel 7 of the gate sleeve 4, and light 18 from the LED line lighting 2 on the left side illuminates the approach 5. The LED line lighting 2 is designed so that light 18 is not too dazzling, and the design panel 7 of the gate sleeve 4 and the approach 5 are gently illuminated, creating a comfortable space. In particular, the distance D between the gate sleeve 4 and the illuminated pole 3 is set to 35 to 50 mm, which makes the design panel 7 look even more beautiful. The illuminated pole 3 of this embodiment has an excellent design quality because the LED line light 2 is incorporated into the recessed groove 14, eliminating any protruding parts.

[0012] As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 4, an intercom (functional component) 19 is attached to the front wall 10 of the pole body 1. Inside the pole body 1, wiring 20 connected to the intercom 19 is routed through a wiring conduit 21 that is separate from the wiring conduit 16 through which the wiring 15 for the LED line lighting 2 is routed (see Figure 4). In addition to the intercom 19, a nameplate, a post, etc. can also be attached to the illuminated pole 3.

[0013] If a design panel 7 made of large tiles or the like is attached to the front of the gate sleeve 4, it is not easy to drill holes in the design panel 7 on-site and attach an intercom 19 or the like. This exterior component is easy to use because the illuminated pole 3 is located close to the gate sleeve 4, allowing an intercom 19 or the like to be attached to the illuminated pole 3.

[0014] 5 and 6 show a second embodiment of the exterior structural member. In this exterior structural member, an illuminated pole 3 is installed in front of and close to the gate sleeve 4, as in the first embodiment. The pole body 1 of the illuminated pole 3 is made of the same shape as in the first embodiment, and as shown in Figure 6, the LED line light 2 is fitted into a groove 14 in the center of the rear wall 11 so that light 18 is emitted rearward. The grooves 14 in the left and right side walls 12, 12 are closed with battens 22. As shown in FIG. 5, in this exterior component, the light 18 from the LED line lighting 2 illuminates the design panel 7 of the gate sleeve 4.

[0015] 7 and 8 show another embodiment of the illuminated pole 3. As shown in Fig. 7, the pole body 1 has a slightly different cross-sectional shape from that previously described, and has grooves 14 formed in the left and right side walls 12, 12, and the LED line light 2 can be attached to either or both of the grooves 14 in the left and right side walls 12, 12. In the example shown, the LED line light 2 is attached only to the groove 14 in the right side wall 12. The LED line lighting 2 is a commercially available type for use with 24V DC, and inside the illuminated pole 3 is a power supply 23 attached to a power supply mounting bracket 29 that converts the AC current from the commercial power supply (in the figure, reference numeral 27 denotes the wiring through which the AC current flows, and reference numeral 28 denotes the wiring pipe) into 24V DC. According to this embodiment, the LED line light 2 can be illuminated by the lighted pole 3 alone, without having to attach a transformer to a house or the like.

[0016] 9, 10, and 11 show a third embodiment of the exterior structural member. Similar to the first embodiment, this embodiment includes a gate sleeve 4 and an illuminated pole 3 installed in front of and close to the gate sleeve 4, but the structure of the illuminated pole 3 is different from that of the first embodiment. As shown in Figure 10, the pole body 1 of the illuminated pole 3 is made of an extruded aluminum alloy material and is hollow and has a roughly rectangular cross section, and a lighting unit 25 incorporating an LED line light 2 is mounted on a mounting member 24 provided separately from the pole body 1, and the lighting unit 25 can be selectively attached to the outer surfaces of the four surrounding walls 10, 11, 12, and 12 of the pole body 1. In the example shown, the lighting units 25 are attached to two locations, one on the left and one on the right of the rear wall 11, and light 18 is emitted laterally from the LED line light 2 incorporated in the lighting unit 25, illuminating the decorative panel 7 of the gate sleeve 4 and the approach 5 (see Figure 9). As shown in Figure 10, the mounting material 24 has a groove 14 into which the LED line light 2 is attached, and is formed of two parts: a base material 24a that is attached to the outer surface of the pole body 1 with screws 26, and a cover 24b that is engaged and attached to the base material 24a.

[0017] In the illuminated pole 3 of this embodiment, the LED line light 2 is incorporated into a mounting member 24 provided separately from the pole body 1, so that the LED line light 2 can be easily attached and wired, and installation is easy.

[0018] 12, 13, and 14 show a fourth embodiment of the exterior structural material. In this embodiment, the illuminated pole 3 is installed close to the side (approach side) of the gate sleeve 4 with its narrow side facing forward and backward. The illuminated pole 3 has a lighting unit 25 incorporating an LED line light 2 attached to the front wall 10, and the light 18 emitted from the LED line light 2 illuminates the decorative panel 7 of the gate sleeve 4 (see Figures 12 and 13). The illuminated pole 3 has an intercom 19 attached to the side facing the approach 5.

[0019] As described above, the illuminated pole 3 comprises a pole body 1 and an LED line light 2. The LED line light 2 is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the pole body 1 and can be attached to any of the different sides of the pole body 1 (see Figures 3, 6, 7, 10, and 14). This makes it easy to use, as the direction in which the light 18 from the LED line light 2 is emitted can be changed depending on the surrounding conditions, etc. The pole body 1 has grooves 14 on different sides along the longitudinal direction, and the LED line lighting 2 is stored in one of the grooves 14 (see Figures 3, 6, and 7), so that the LED line lighting 2 can be easily attached to the pole body 1 and has good design properties because the LED line lighting 2 does not protrude to the outside. The LED line lighting 2 is incorporated into a mounting material 24 that is provided separately from the pole body 1, and the mounting material 24 is attached to the side of the pole body 1 (see Figures 10 and 14), making it easy to install and wire the LED line lighting 2 and improving construction efficiency. A functional part (intercom) 19 can be attached freely to the side of the pole body 1, and the LED line lighting 2 is provided on a side different from the side on which the functional part 19 is attached (see Figures 1, 5, 9, and 12), so that the LED line lighting 2 and functional part 19 can be easily attached to the pole body 1, and by attaching the functional part 19, the functionality of the illuminated pole 3 can be enhanced.

[0020] This exterior component (first, second, third and fourth embodiments) comprises a fence (gate sleeve) 4 and a pole (lighted pole) 3, and since the pole 3 is installed close to the fence 4 (see Figures 1, 5, 9 and 12), it is possible to attach a functional part (intercom) 19 to the pole 3 when it is difficult to attach the functional part 19 to the fence 4, making it easy to use. The pole 3 is equipped with lighting (LED line lighting 2), and the LED line lighting 2 is installed on the fence 4 side (see Figures 1, 5, 9, and 12), so that the fence 4 is illuminated with light 18 from the LED line lighting 2, creating a comfortable space. The pole 3 is provided in front of or to the side of the fence 4 (see Figures 1, 5, 9, and 12), which makes it easy to use when an interphone 19 or the like is attached to the pole 3. By setting the distance D between the fence 4 and the pole 3 to 35 to 50 mm, the pole 3 does not get in the way, and when the LED line light 2 is attached to the pole 3, it can effectively illuminate the fence 4. The fence 4 has a design panel 7 on its surface, and by illuminating the design panel 7 with the LED line lighting 2, the design panel 7 can be made to look beautiful, creating a more attractive space.

[0021] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. The poles do not necessarily have to be illuminated, and functional components such as intercoms can be attached as desired. The fence structure is arbitrary, and it is not limited to a gate sleeve, and can also be long horizontally. [Explanation of symbols]
