Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a gate support structure and bracket. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, when installing a gate as in Patent Document 1, a known technique is to form a protrusion for attaching a gate hinge along the longitudinal direction of one side of the support pillar installed at a distance from the ground on the side where the gate is to be attached, and then hang the gate via a hinge base attached to the protrusion. Also, a gate sleeve is formed by stretching a plate-shaped base material so that it covers the periphery of the support pillar except for the protrusion, and brick tiles are stretched on the surface of the base material to form a wall.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-247568 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, a gate sleeve, which is a wall, may be built on a foundation, just like the walls of a house. In such cases, the hinge for opening and closing the gate must be located at a height higher than the rising portion of the foundation. However, if the hinge is located at a high position, the height of the gate's lower end may also need to be raised. This higher height of the gate's lower end undesirably creates a gap between the ground and the gate's lower end. Furthermore, supporting the gate with a hinge located at a high position could potentially interfere with the gate's opening and closing. Therefore, there has been a demand for a lower height of the hinge so that the gate can be opened and closed smoothly, even when the wall constituting the gate sleeve is built on a foundation. Not limited to such gates, when an outdoor installation 14a is attached to a wall built on a foundation, a higher height of the gate's lower end may undesirably create a gap between the ground and the lower end of the outdoor installation.

[0005] The present invention was made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to enable the lower end of a gate to be extended close to the ground and to enable the gate to be opened and closed without hindrance, even when the wall that constitutes the gate sleeve is built on a foundation.Furthermore, it is also intended to enable the lower end of an outdoor object other than a gate to be positioned close to the ground. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The invention described in claim 1 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 1 to 6, a support structure for a gate 14a (22, 23), A wall 13a (first shielding wall 13a) constructed on the foundation 2a is provided on at least one side of the gate 14, which is an entrance and exit for people. The thickness of the rising portion of the foundation 2a is formed to be thicker than the thickness of the wall 13a, and one side surface of the rising portion in the thickness direction protrudes outward from one side surface of the wall 13a in the thickness direction, A gate door 14a is supported via a bracket 30 on the end of one side surface of the wall 13a in the thickness direction on the gate 14 side. The bracket 30 is a bracket body 31a fixed to one side surface of the wall 13a in the thickness direction, protruding outward from the one side surface of the foundation 2a in the thickness direction, and formed long in the vertical direction; The bracket body 31a has a downward extension portion 31b extending downward from a lower end portion of a portion of the bracket body 31a that protrudes outward from one side surface of the foundation 2a in the thickness direction in a side view, The gate door 14a is characterized in that it is supported rotatably via a hinge portion 20 provided at least on the upper end portion of the bracket main body 31a and the downward extension portion 31b.

[0007] According to the invention described in claim 1, the bracket body 31a is fixed to one thickness-wise side surface of the wall 13a, protrudes outward from one thickness-wise side surface of the foundation 2a, and is formed long in the vertical direction, and the downward extension portion 31b is provided to extend downward from the lower end of the portion of the bracket body 31a that protrudes outward from one thickness-wise side surface of the foundation 2a in a side view, so that the protruding tip of the bracket body 31a and the downward extension portion 31b are located outward from one thickness-wise side surface of the foundation 2a. And the gate 14a is rotatably supported at least via the hinge portion 20 provided on the upper end of the bracket body 31a and the downward extension portion 31b, so that the gate 14a is rotatably supported at a position outward from one thickness-wise side surface of the foundation 2a and lower than the upper end of the bracket body 31a and the upper end surface of the rising portion of the foundation 2a. As a result, even if the wall 13a that constitutes the gate sleeve is constructed on the foundation 2a, the lower end of the gate 14a can be extended close to the ground, and the gate 14a can be opened and closed without any problems.

[0008] The invention described in claim 2 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 2 to 4, in the support structure of the gate door 14a described in claim 1, The wall 13a includes a wall main body P (architectural wood panel P) erected on the rising portion of the foundation 2a, and exterior materials 17 (17a, 17b) covering the wall main body P, The bracket 30 is characterized in that it is disposed outside the surface of the exterior material 17 and is fixed to the wall main body P by a fixing member 40.

[0009] According to the invention recited in claim 2, the bracket 30 is disposed outside the surface of the exterior material 17 and is fixed to the wall main body P by the fixing member 40, so the bracket 30 can be disposed on the surface of the wall 13a and firmly fixed to the wall main body P. This allows the bracket 30 to be reliably and firmly disposed on one side surface in the thickness direction of the wall, so the lower end of the gate 14a can be extended close to the ground and the gate 14a can be opened and closed without hindrance.

[0010] The invention described in claim 3 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 2 to 6, a bracket 30 for supporting an outdoor installation (e.g., a gate 14a) on a wall 13a (e.g., a first shielding wall 13a) constructed on a foundation 2a, The thickness of the rising portion of the base 2a is formed to be thicker than the thickness of the wall 13a, and one side surface of the rising portion in the thickness direction protrudes outward from one side surface of the wall 13a in the thickness direction, a bracket body 31a fixed to one side surface of the wall 13a in the thickness direction, protruding outward from the one side surface of the foundation 2a in the thickness direction, and formed long in the vertical direction; The bracket body 31a has a downward extension portion 31b extending downward from a lower end portion of a portion of the bracket body 31a that protrudes outward from one side surface of the foundation 2a in the thickness direction in a side view, A feature of the bracket body 31a is that the portion of the bracket body 31a that protrudes outward from one side surface of the foundation 2a in the thickness direction in a side view and the downward extension portion 31b are the attachment points for the outdoor installation object 14a.

[0011] According to the invention of claim 3, the bracket body 31a is fixed to one side surface of the wall 13a in the thickness direction, protrudes outward from the one side surface of the foundation 2a in the thickness direction, and is formed long in the vertical direction, and the downward extension portion 31b is provided so as to extend downward from the lower end of the portion of the bracket body 31a that protrudes outward from the one side surface of the foundation 2a in the thickness direction in a side view, so that the protruding tip of the bracket body 31a and the downward extension portion 31b are located outward from the one side surface of the foundation 2a in the thickness direction. Furthermore, the portion of the bracket body 31a that protrudes outward from the one side surface of the foundation 2a in the thickness direction in a side view and the downward extension portion 31b are mounting points for the outdoor installation object 14a, so that by mounting the outdoor installation object 14a to the mounting point, the outdoor installation object 14a can be supported by the wall 13a while locating the lower end of the outdoor installation object 14a close to the ground.

[0012] The invention described in claim 4 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 4 to 6, in the bracket 30 described in claim 3, a first bracket forming member 32 formed to be elongated in the vertical direction; a second bracket forming member 33 that is formed to be longer than the first bracket forming member 32 and is joined to the first bracket forming member 32, The upper end surface of the first bracket forming member 32 and the upper end surface of the second bracket forming member 33 are flush with each other, A portion of the second bracket forming member 33 that extends downward from the lower end surface of the first bracket forming member 32 is the downward extending portion 31b.

[0013] According to the invention described in claim 4, the upper end surface of the first bracket forming member 32 and the upper end surface of the second bracket forming member 33, which is formed to be longer than the first bracket forming member 32, are flush with each other, and the portion of the second bracket forming member 33 that extends downward below the lower end surface of the first bracket forming member 32 is formed as the downward extension portion 31b.Therefore, by simply joining the first bracket forming member 32 and the second bracket forming member 33, a structure for positioning the lower end of the outdoor installation object 14a near the ground can be easily formed.

[0014] The invention described in claim 5 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 4 to 6, in the bracket 30 described in claim 4, The bracket 30 is formed hollow, A side surface of the first bracket forming member 32 that is positioned on the wall 13a side serves as a fixing point for fixing the first bracket forming member 32 to the wall 13a.

[0015] According to the invention recited in claim 5, the bracket 30 is formed hollow, and the side surface of the first bracket forming member 32 facing the wall 13a serves as a fixing point for fixing the first bracket forming member 32 to the wall 13a, so that the part for fixing the bracket 30 to the wall 13a can be separated from the part for attaching the outdoor object 14a to the bracket 30. This allows the outdoor object 14a to be reliably and stably supported by the wall 13a via the bracket 30, with the lower end of the outdoor object 14a positioned close to the ground. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] According to the present invention, even if the wall that constitutes the gate sleeve is built on a foundation, the lower end of the gate can be extended close to the ground and the gate can be opened and closed without any hindrance. Furthermore, even if the outdoor installation other than the gate is also installed, its lower end can be placed close to the ground. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described below are subject to various limitations that are technically preferable for implementing the present invention, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and illustrated examples. Note that the directions in the following embodiments and illustrated examples are set solely for the convenience of explanation.

[0019] In Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a residential site. The site 1 includes a first site 1A on which a house 2 is built, a second site 1B facing a road (not shown) and used as a parking lot, and a third site 1C extending from one end of the second site 1B to the back (north side) of the site 1 in the depth direction. The second site 1B is located adjacent to the south side of the first site 1A, and the third site 1C is located adjacent to the east side of the first site 1A. In other words, the second site 1B and the third site 1C are located so as to form an L-shape in plan view, and the first site 1A is located at the inner corner of the second site 1B and the third site 1C which are formed in an L-shape in plan view.

[0020] The part of the second site 1B along the southern edge, located opposite the first site 1A, is the road surface 1D of the entire site 1. In other words, the area south of the road surface 1D is a road used by people and vehicles. Therefore, the second site 1B is often used as a parking space. Concrete slabs have been laid on the second site 1B. A fence has also been built around the perimeter of the site 1.

[0021] The southern side of the third site 1C is often used as a parking space and bicycle parking space, etc. A concrete slab has been laid on the southern part of this third site 1C. The north side of the third site 1C is used, for example, as a planting space, a vegetable garden space, a storage space, a laundry drying space, etc., but is not limited to this.

[0022] The house 2 of this embodiment is constructed using a panel construction method in which building components such as walls, floors, and roofs are panelized in advance at a factory and then these panels P are assembled and constructed at the construction site, but it can also be applied to buildings made of wood, steel, reinforced concrete, etc. using conventional frame construction or wall construction methods.

[0023] A panel P (wooden architectural panel P) is a hollow structure in which vertical and horizontal frame materials Fm are assembled into a rectangular shape, and auxiliary crosspieces C are attached appropriately (for example, vertically and horizontally) inside the rectangular frame to form a frame body F, and a surface material B such as plywood is attached to one or both sides of this frame body F. Furthermore, the hollow interior is filled with insulating material such as glass wool or rock wool.

[0024] The house 2 includes a two-story house body 3 built on a foundation 2a, and a sloped roof 7 provided on the house body 3. The main body 3 of the house is longer in the north-south direction than in the east-west direction in plan view, and the sloping roof 7 is a beckoning roof that is also long in the north-south direction like the main body 3 of the house.

[0025] The sloped roof 7, which is a beckoning roof, has a ridge 7a extending in the east-west direction, a south roof surface 7b located on the south side of the ridge 7a, and a north roof surface 7c located on the north side of the ridge 7a. In this embodiment, the south roof surface 7b and the north roof surface 7c have a 1 / 2 inclination, i.e., the south roof surface 7b and the north roof surface 7c are set to the same inclination angle.

[0026] The length of the entire south-side roof surface 7b in the direction of the roof flow is set to be longer than the length of the entire north-side roof surface 7c in the direction of the roof flow. The south roof surface 7b is L-shaped in plan view. That is, the south roof surface 7b has a long portion extending to the eaves and a short portion extending to the eaves. More specifically, the south roof surface 7b of the sloping roof 7 has a first roof section 8, which has a long length from the ridge 7a to the first eaves edge 8a, and a second roof section 9, which has a short length from the ridge 7a to the second eaves edge 9a. The first roof section 8 and the second roof section 9 are adjacent to each other and integrally formed to form the same roof surface 7b. That is, the south roof surface 7b is approximately L-shaped in plan view. The first eaves edge 8a and the second eaves edge 9a are connected in a crank-like manner via the ridge 8b, which is the eastern end of the first roof section 8. The length from the ridge 7a to the second eaves 9a in the second roof portion 9 is set equal to the length from the ridge 7a to the north eaves on the north roof surface 7c. Furthermore, a solar cell array having a plurality of solar cell modules may be installed on the upper surface of the south roof surface 7b.

[0027] The housing main body 3 is roughly divided into a western portion 3a located directly below the first roof portion 8 as described above, and an eastern portion 3b located directly below the second roof portion 9 as described above. That is, the housing main body 3 itself is shaped according to the difference in dimension between the length to the first eaves portion 8a and the length to the second eaves portion 9a on the south roof surface 7b. In other words, the western portion 3a located directly below the first roof portion 8 is longer in the north-south direction than the eastern portion 3b located directly below the second roof portion 9. In other words, the eastern portion 3b located directly below the second roof portion 9 is shorter in the north-south direction than the western portion 3a located directly below the first roof portion 8. As a result, the housing main body 3 is formed in a roughly L-shape in plan view. In other words, the second roof portion 9 is formed with a shorter length to the eaves than the first roof portion 8, and therefore the first exterior wall 4 of the eastern portion 3b is formed to be set back more toward the interior side (toward the ridge 7a) than the second exterior wall 5 of the western portion 3a, resulting in the main body of the house 3 having a recess 3c.

[0028] On the first site 1A on which such a house 2 is constructed, an outdoor living room 11 is provided under the eaves of the first eaves portion 8a of the first roof portion 8 as an outdoor space that is used as a place where residents usually spend their time, similar to an indoor living room.

[0029] Additionally, within the first site 1A, under the eaves of the second eaves portion 9a of the second roof portion 9, a garden portion 12 is provided as a semi-outdoor space surrounded by a screening wall 13 within the first site 1A. In other words, by having the recess 3c as described above in the house main body 3, the garden portion 12 can be provided at the position of the recess 3c on the site 1. Garden 12 is surrounded on all four sides by the eastern side of western portion 3a of main body 3, the southern side of eastern portion 3b, and an L-shaped screen wall 13 in plan view. The upper part of garden 12 is open to the sky except for the area covered by sloped roof 7.

[0030] An entrance doorway 4b is provided in the east side portion 3b of the main body 3 of the house, facing the garden 12. More specifically, the exterior wall 4 facing south in the east side portion 3b (i.e., the first exterior wall 4) has a wall surface that spans the upper and lower floors. An opening is formed in part of the first floor portion of the exterior wall 4, and the entrance doorway 4b, which is opened and closed by a front door, is formed in the exterior wall portion located behind the opening. Garden 12 faces this entrance 4b. In other words, when you go outside through entrance 4b, you will find garden 12 there, and the entrance of main house 3 and garden 12 are directly connected.

[0031] The shielding wall 13, which surrounds the garden area 12 together with the eastern side of the western part 3a and the southern side of the eastern part 3b of the main house body 3, comprises a first shielding wall 13a located on the southern side, a second shielding wall 13b located on the western side, and a third shielding wall 13c located on the northern side. This shielding wall 13 is an outer perimeter wall constructed using the same construction method as that used to construct the main house 3. Because the main house 3 of this embodiment is constructed using the panel construction method as described above, the shielding wall 13, like the walls of the main house 3, is constructed using architectural wood panels P. Furthermore, because the shielding wall 13 is an exterior wall, it is erected on the foundation 2a, like the exterior walls of the main house 3, with a vapor-permeable waterproof sheet attached to its surface and an exterior material 17 attached with a breathable layer formed. The exterior material 17 and the vapor-permeable waterproof sheet may be positioned across the exterior wall of the main house 3 and the shielding wall 13 to enhance their unity. Furthermore, a coping 18 is attached to the upper end of the shielding wall 13.

[0032] The thickness of the rising portion of the foundation 2a is greater than the thickness of the architectural wood panel P, which corresponds to the main body of the shielding wall 13, and one side of the rising portion in the thickness direction protrudes outward from one side of the wall in the thickness direction. In other words, the architectural wood panel P is positioned on the upper end surface of the rising portion of the foundation 2a, close to the side opposite the garden area 12 (the entrance approach 1E side). In this case, the entrance approach 1E side of the rising portion of the foundation 2a and the entrance approach 1E side of the architectural wood panel P are positioned so that they are on the same vertical plane. Furthermore, the architectural wood panels P that make up the shielding wall 13 are provided with exterior materials 17 on both wall surfaces, but with exterior materials 17 provided on both sides, the surface of the exterior materials 17 facing the garden 12 is located closer to the entrance approach 1E than the side of the garden 12 on the rising part of the foundation 2a. In other words, the surface of the rising part of the foundation 2a protrudes further toward the garden 12 than the surface of the exterior materials 17.

[0033] The first shielding wall 13a is arranged parallel to the exterior wall 4 (i.e., the first exterior wall 4) facing south in the east side portion 3b of the main body 3 of the house. The first shielding wall 13a is also arranged parallel to or in the same straight line as the exterior wall 5 (i.e., the second exterior wall 5) facing south in the west side portion 3a of the main body 3 of the house. Furthermore, the first shielding wall 13a is arranged perpendicular to the exterior wall 6 (i.e., the third exterior wall 6) facing east in the east side portion 3b of the main body 3 of the house in a plan view. In other words, the first shielding wall 13a is arranged so that it appears to be aligned with the second exterior wall 5 when viewed from the road side. The height dimension of the first shielding wall 13 a is set to be substantially equal to the height dimension of the second outer wall 5 .

[0034] The second shielding wall 13b is disposed perpendicular to the first shielding wall 13a in a plan view. More specifically, the eastern end of the first shielding wall 13a and the southern end of the second shielding wall 13b are integrally connected, and the second shielding wall 13b extends north from the eastern end of the first shielding wall 13a in a plan view. The northern end of the second shielding wall 13b is located north of the ridge 7a. The second shielding wall 13b is disposed parallel to the third exterior wall 6 and along the eastern side of the eastern portion 3b of the main body 3 of the house. The height dimension of the second shielding wall 13b is set to be equal to the height dimension of the first shielding wall 13a. The portion of second shielding wall 13b located north of entrance 4b functions as an exterior wall of main house 3. In other words, the portion of second shielding wall 13b located south of entrance 4b functions as shielding wall 13.

[0035] In plan view, third shielding wall 13c is disposed perpendicular to second shielding wall 13b and parallel to first shielding wall 13a. More specifically, the north end of second shielding wall 13b and the east end of third shielding wall 13c are integrally connected, and third shielding wall 13c extends west from the north end of second shielding wall 13b in plan view. The west end of third shielding wall 13c is connected to the east side of east portion 3b of main body 3 of the house. The height dimension of the third shielding wall 13c is set to be equal to the height dimension of the second shielding wall 13b. The third shielding wall 13c functions as an outer wall of the main body 3 of the house.

[0036] Of the thus configured shielding walls 13, first shielding wall 13a on the south side is provided with gate 14 as an entrance connecting garden 12 with the road side (the entrance approach 1E side), gate door 14a for opening and closing gate 14, delivery box 15, and nameplate 16 with an intercom. In other words, the left and right sides of gate 14 on first shielding wall 13a function as gate sleeves. Gate 14 is positioned directly opposite entrance 4b, and delivery box 15 and nameplate 16 are provided next to gate 14, one above the other. The road side of gate 14 and gate door 14a forms entrance approach 1E, which crosses the southern end of first site 1A and second site 1B to road surface 1D. Entrance approach 1E extends to road surface 1D along the east side of outdoor living room 11. In other words, garden 12 is located between entrance door 4b of main house 3 and entrance approach 1E.

[0037] Garden 12 can be accessed from the outside through gate 14, and is surrounded by screen wall 13, making it an ideal place for children to play or for elderly people to sit on a bench and chat. Therefore, garden 12 is a relatively open and public space where residents spend their daily lives, yet it is also used as a place that effectively blocks views from outside and provides a sense of privacy.

[0038] [Gate support structure] As described above, the shielding wall 13 is provided integrally with the main house 3. Therefore, this shielding wall 13 is also made of architectural wood panels P, just like the main house 3. The western end of the first shielding wall 13a is integrally connected to the architectural wood panel P that constitutes the third exterior wall 6. In addition, the second shielding wall 13b and the third shielding wall 13c function as exterior walls of the main house 3 as described above, and are originally made of architectural wood panels P. The shielding wall 13 is covered with a moisture-permeable waterproof sheet (not shown) and exterior material 17 on both the surface facing the garden 12 and the surface facing the entrance approach 1E. Additionally, a coping 18 is provided at the upper end of the shielding wall 13. The coping 18 also covers the exterior materials 17 on both sides of the shielding wall 13. The shielding wall 13 is configured to include an exterior material 17 and a coping board 18, and the portion that does not include the exterior material 17 and the coping board 18 may be referred to as the shielding wall main body.

[0039] The gate 14a provided on the shielding wall 13 (first shielding wall 13a) of the house 2 as described above is fixed to the architectural wood panel P that constitutes the first shielding wall 13a, as shown in Figures 2 to 4. As described above, the architectural wood panel P is made up of vertical and horizontal frame materials Fm assembled into a rectangular shape, with auxiliary crosspiece materials C attached inside the rectangular frame to form a frame body F, and face materials B attached to both sides of this frame body F, resulting in a hollow structure. Furthermore, the hollow interior is filled with heat insulating material (not shown).

[0040] An adjustment material 19 is fixed to the gate 14-side end face of the shielding wall main body of the first shielding wall 13a. The adjustment material 19 is used to adjust the dimensional width of the opening of the gate 14 and serves as a base when installing the gate door 14a. The adjustment material 19 is made of a square timber, and its dimension in the left-right direction is set to a length that allows for the dimensional adjustment of the gate 14, and its dimension in the front-to-back direction is set equal to the thickness of the shielding wall main body. With the adjustment material 19 fixed, the shielding wall main body is widened, thereby adjusting the dimensional width of the opening of the gate 14.

[0041] The shielding wall main body with the adjustment material 19 integrally provided is covered with the exterior material 17 as described above. The exterior material 17 includes flat-section exterior material 17a, which is a flat plate type that covers the wall surface of the shielding wall main body on the entrance approach 1E side and the wall surface on the garden 12 side, and corner exterior material 17b, which is formed with an L-shaped cross section and covers the end of the shielding wall main body on the gate 14 side. Each exterior material 17 (17a, 17b) is attached to the shielding wall main body via furring strips 17FS. That is, a moisture-permeable waterproof sheet is attached to the surface of the shielding wall main body, and furring strips 17FS are fixed on top of that, and the flat portion exterior material 17a and the corner exterior material 17b are attached from above the furring strips 17FS. Furthermore, a backup material 17c is placed between adjacent exterior materials 17a and 17b, and then a joint material 17d is filled in between them.

[0042] The gate 14a in this embodiment refers to a gate device for opening and closing the gate 14 as an entrance and exit, and this gate device 14a comprises a pair of brackets 30 formed long in the vertical direction, a plurality of hinge sections 20 spaced apart in the longitudinal direction (vertical direction) of each bracket 30, and door bodies 22, 23 supported on each bracket 30 via the plurality of hinge sections 20 so as to be freely rotatable. In this embodiment, hinge portions 20 are provided at two locations, one above the other, of each bracket 30.

[0043] The gate device 14a of this embodiment is a so-called parent-child swing type, and has a door body 22 which is a wide parent door and a door body 23 which is a narrow child door. Since both door bodies 22, 23 are arranged symmetrically and operate in contrast to each other, one of the door bodies (here, the door body 22 which is the parent door) will be explained as an example.

[0044] As shown in Figures 2 to 6, each bracket 30 is set to a length that is approximately equal to the vertical length of the gate 14a as a whole, and protrudes from the surface (back) of the first shielding wall 13a toward the garden area 12 (rear) and beyond the surface (back) of the foundation 2a, with the portion of the lower end that is located below the upper end surface of the foundation 2a extending downward. That is, the lower end of each bracket 30, which protrudes from the surface (rear surface) of the foundation 2a, is provided with a downward extending portion 31b that extends downward from the upper end surface of the foundation 2a. As a result, the lower end of the bracket 30 is notched in a substantially L shape in side view, forming a recess 30a, and the portion of the foundation 2a that protrudes from the surface of the first shielding wall 13a is accommodated and positioned in this recess 30a.

[0045] The bracket 30 is made of metal and is formed by welding one end of a first bracket forming member 32 which is L-shaped in cross section to one end of a second bracket forming member 33 which is U-shaped in cross section, as shown in Figures 5 and 6.

[0046] The first bracket forming member 32 is a portion of the entire bracket 30 that is disposed on the first shielding wall 13a side when attached to the first shielding wall 13a. The first bracket forming member 32 has a first plate portion 32a that faces the surface of the first shielding wall 13a, and a second plate portion 32b that is perpendicular to the first plate portion 32a in a plan view. The first plate portion 32a is formed with a plurality of through holes 34 through which only the shaft portions of the fixing members 40 described below are passed. In this embodiment, these plurality of through holes 34 are formed in two locations, three at each of the upper and lower ends of the first plate portion 32a.

[0047] The second bracket forming member 33 is the portion of the entire bracket 30 that is arranged on the garden portion 12 side when attached to the first shielding wall 13a. The second bracket forming member 33 is formed to be longer than the first bracket forming member 32, and when the second bracket forming member 33 is welded together to manufacture a single bracket 30, the upper end faces of the second bracket forming member 33 are flush with each other. The second bracket forming member 33 has a third plate portion 33a directly opposite the first plate portion 32a of the first bracket forming member 32, and a fourth plate portion 33b and a fifth plate portion 33c that are perpendicular to the third plate portion 33a in a planar view. The third plate portion 33a is formed with a plurality of through holes 35 through which the entire fixing member 40 (head and shaft portions) described below is passed. These plurality of through holes 35 are positioned on the same line as the plurality of through holes 34 formed in the first plate portion 32a, and in this embodiment, three through holes 35 are formed in each of two locations on the third plate portion 33a that correspond to the locations where the plurality of through holes 34 are formed in the first plate portion 32a. The diameter of the through holes 35 is set to a size that allows a screwdriver to be inserted therethrough. Furthermore, the third plate portion 33a is formed with a plurality of bolt holes 36 through which only the shanks of bolts 41, which will be described later, are passed. In this embodiment, these plurality of bolt holes 36 are formed in two locations, two at each of the upper and lower ends of the third plate portion 33a. Note that one of the three through holes 34 is formed and positioned between the two bolt holes 36 at the upper end. The two bolt holes 36 at the lower end are formed in the downward extension portion 31b.

[0048] An end of the second plate portion 32b of the first bracket forming member 32 and an end of the fourth plate portion 33b of the second bracket forming member 33 are joined by welding. Additionally, the second plate portion 32b of the first bracket-forming member 32 and the fourth plate portion 33b of the second bracket-forming member 33 are aligned in a straight line in a plan view. Because the first bracket-forming member 32 is L-shaped in cross section, a gap (open portion) is formed between the end of the first plate portion 32a of the first bracket-forming member 32 and the end of the fifth plate portion 33c of the second bracket-forming member 33. This gap can be used as a work gap for inserting tools or fingers, and may be closed by a blocking member (not shown) when the gate 14a is in use. Alternatively, the first bracket-forming member 32 may also be U-shaped in cross section, like the second bracket-forming member 33, so that a square-tube-shaped bracket 30 is formed when the first bracket-forming member 32 and the second bracket-forming member 33 are joined together. The upper end of the bracket 30 is also open, but may be closed by a cap member (not shown) when the gate 14a is in use.

[0049] 2 to 4, such brackets 30 are fixed to the back surface of the first shielding wall 13a at the left edge of the gate 14 and the back surface of the right edge of the gate 14 with fixing materials such as screws 40. The bracket 30 fixed to the back surface at the left edge of the gate 14 is for attaching the door body 22, which is the main door, and the bracket 30 fixed to the back surface at the right edge of the gate 14 is for attaching the door body 23, which is the sub door.

[0050] The screws 40 used are long and set to a length that reaches from the bracket 30 to the adjustment member 19 that constitutes the first shielding wall 13a. Although the screws 40 are used as the fixing member in this embodiment, this is not limiting and other fixing members such as bolts may also be used. When fixing the bracket 30 with the screw 40, the entire screw 40 is passed through the second bracket forming member 33 from the through hole 35 formed in the third plate portion 33a of the second bracket forming member 33. Furthermore, only the shank of the screw 40 is passed through the through hole 34 formed in the first plate portion 32a of the first bracket forming member 32, and the screw 40 is screwed into the adjustment member 19. The diameter of the through hole 34 is set smaller than the head of the screw 40, so the head of the screw 40 stops on the surface of the first plate portion 32a. It is preferable that pilot holes be formed in advance in the corner exterior material 17b and the furring strips 17FS to prevent cracks.

[0051] The bracket 30 fixed with the screws 40 is positioned with the first bracket forming member 32 facing the first shielding wall 13a and the second bracket forming member 33 facing the garden 12. The rising portion of the foundation 2a, which protrudes further toward the garden 12 than the surface of the first shielding wall 13a, is accommodated in the recess 30a formed by the difference in size between the first bracket forming member 32 and the second bracket forming member 33. A drip-water member that protrudes laterally is provided at the lower end of the first shielding wall 13a, and this drip-water member is also accommodated in the recess 30a.

[0052] As shown in Figure 4, the hinge portion 20 comprises a fixed portion 20a fixed to the bracket 30, a cover body 20b attached to the fixed portion 20a, and a hinge main body 20c integrally attached to the side of the fixed portion 20a.

[0053] More specifically, the fixing portion 20a is fixed to the second bracket forming member 33 of the bracket 30, and a plate portion of the fixing portion 20a on the first shielding wall 13a side has a plurality of bolt holes through which bolts 41 are passed. These plurality of bolt holes correspond to the positions of a plurality of bolt holes 36 formed in two locations on the upper and lower ends of the third plate portion 33a of the second bracket forming member 33, and the bolts 41 can be passed through both bolt holes to fix the fixing portion 20a to the third plate portion 33a of the second bracket forming member 33. Furthermore, a part (first portion) of the hinge body 20c is integrally attached to the fixed portion 20a.

[0054] The cover body 20b is detachably attached to the fixed portion 20a and covers the fixed portion 20a, avoiding a portion of the fixed portion 20a where a plurality of through holes are formed and bolts 41 are provided, and a part (first portion) of the hinge body 20c. In other words, the cover body 20b has an opening into which the fixed portion 20a fits, and a slit into which a part (first portion) of the hinge body 20c fits.

[0055] The hinge body 20c is formed by rotatably connecting a first part integrally attached to the side surface of the fixed part 20a and a second part integrally attached to the side end of the door body 22, and is provided with a rotation axis in either the first part or the second part, so that the hinge body 20c is configured to rotate freely around the rotation axis.

[0056] The door body 22 has a part (second part) of the multiple hinge parts 21 integrally formed on the hanging side, and a lever handle 22a and a locking device 22b (including a latch bolt) on the door tip side. The door body 22 rotates to open toward the garden 12 side.

[0057] The above-described configuration is also applied to the attachment of the other door body 23, which is the sub-door. The door body 23, which is the child door, has a portion (second portion) of the multiple hinge sections 21 integrally formed on the hanging side, and is provided with a lever handle 23a on the door tip side and a receiving section 23b (including a strike that receives a latch bolt) that receives the lock from the locking device 22b of the door body 22, which is the parent door. In addition, a French stop 23c for stopping the rotation of the door body 23 is provided at the lower end of the door leading side of the door body 23.

[0058] According to this embodiment, the following excellent effects are achieved. That is, the bracket main body 31a is fixed to one side surface of the first shielding wall 13a in the thickness direction, protrudes outward from one side surface of the foundation 2a in the thickness direction, and is formed long in the vertical direction, and the downward extending portion 31b is provided to extend downward from the lower end of the portion of the bracket main body 31a that protrudes outward from one side surface of the foundation 2a in the thickness direction in a side view, so that the protruding tip of the bracket main body 31a and the downward extending portion 31b are located outward from one side surface of the foundation 2a in the thickness direction. And the gate 14a is rotatably supported at least via the hinge portion 20 provided on the upper end of the bracket main body 31a and the downward extending portion 31b, so that the gate 14a is rotatably supported at a position outward from one side surface of the foundation 2a in the thickness direction and lower than the upper end of the bracket main body 31a and the upper end surface of the rising portion of the foundation 2a. This allows the lower end of the gate 14a to be extended close to the ground, and the gate 14a can be opened and closed without any problems, even if the first shielding wall 13a that constitutes the gate sleeve is constructed on the foundation 2a.

[0059] Furthermore, the bracket 30 is disposed outside the surface of the exterior material 17 and is fixed to the wall main body P with screws 40, which are fixing members, so that the bracket 30 can be disposed on the surface of the first shielding wall 13a while being firmly fixed to the wall main body P. This allows the bracket 30 to be reliably and firmly disposed on one side surface in the thickness direction of the wall, so that the lower end of the gate 14a can be extended close to the ground and the gate 14a can be opened and closed without hindrance.

[0060] Furthermore, the upper end surface of the first bracket forming member 32 and the upper end surface of the second bracket forming member 33, which is formed to be longer than the first bracket forming member 32, are flush with each other, and the portion of the second bracket forming member 33 that extends downward below the lower end surface of the first bracket forming member 32 is formed as the downward extension portion 31b.Therefore, by simply joining the first bracket forming member 32 and the second bracket forming member 33, a structure for positioning the lower end of the outdoor installation object 14a near the ground can be easily formed.

[0061] Furthermore, the bracket 30 is formed hollow, and the side surface of the first bracket forming member 32 that faces the first shielding wall 13a serves as a fixing point for fixing the first bracket forming member 32 to the first shielding wall 13a, so that the part where the bracket 30 is fixed to the first shielding wall 13a can be separated from the part where the outdoor object 14a is attached to the bracket 30. This allows the outdoor object 14a to be reliably and stably supported by the first shielding wall 13a via the bracket 30, with the lower end of the outdoor object 14a positioned close to the ground.

[0062] Furthermore, in recent years, there has been a demand for the realization of a carbon-neutral society by promoting carbon neutrality, which reduces carbon dioxide emissions to virtually zero, and for the achievement of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), and in the construction industry, efforts are being made to build buildings using wood, which reduces carbon dioxide emissions. In the house 2 of this embodiment, not only the house body 3 but also the shielding wall 13 surrounding the garden area 12 is constructed from architectural wood panels P, which can contribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral society by promoting carbon neutrality and the achievement of the SDGs.

[0063] [Modification] It should be noted that the embodiments to which the present invention can be applied are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Modifications will be described below. The following modifications may be combined as much as possible. In each of the following modifications, elements common to the above-described embodiments will be assigned the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be omitted or simplified.

[0064] [Variation 1] In the above embodiment, the gate 14a is a double-swing type door having a main door body 22 and a secondary door body 23, but in this modified example, a single-swing type gate having only one door body is used, although this is not shown in the figure. In this modified example, at least a wall constructed on a foundation that functions as a sleeve wall is provided on one side of the gate 14, and a similar sleeve wall or a structure such as a gatepost may be provided on the other side of the gate 14. The structure provided on the other side of the gate 14 has a receiving portion that receives the lock of a locking device provided on the leading edge of the gate door.

[0065] [Variation 2] In the above embodiment, a gate 14a was given as an example of an outdoor object supported via a bracket 30 on a wall constructed on a foundation 2a, but the outdoor object may also be, for example, a delivery box, a signboard, a water heater, an outdoor unit, a storage battery, a water tank, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
