[0004] When constructing protective fences or fences to protect against vermin, wire meshes are often assembled together. Conventionally, wire meshes have been secured together by wrapping them with wire, but this method is not very secure and can cause the meshes to wobble or the wire to break, making it difficult to secure the meshes firmly. It is also difficult to secure the meshes in the desired position (positional relationship, etc.).

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a wire mesh fastener that can firmly fix wire meshes in a desired state when assembling them to create a structure. [Means for solving the problem]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] The wire mesh fixture in this embodiment will be described with reference to Figs.

[0011] (Wire mesh fixture configuration) As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the wire mesh fixing device 1 comprises a base 10 formed overall on a plate, a fixing member support 11 erected in the center of the base 10, and a pair of positioning members 12 (first positioning member 12a, second positioning member 12b) erected opposite each other near the ends of the base 10, sandwiching the fixing member support 11 therebetween, and a fixing member 13 for fixing the wire mesh.

[0012] The fixing member pillar 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a threaded portion 11a for screwing the fixing member 13 is formed on the outer periphery near the tip.

[0013] The first positioning member 12a and the second positioning member 12b are arranged in parallel to each other in the same direction, facing each other near the ends of the base 10 with the fixing member support 11 between them.

[0014] The width of the gap K between the fixing member support 11 and the first and second positioning members 12a and 12b is set to a value that allows the wires constituting the wire mesh to be locked and prevents rattling within the gap K.

[0015] The fixing member 13 is a nut-shaped member that can be screwed onto the fixing member support 11. The fixing member 13 is composed of a main body portion 13a and a locking portion 13b. The locking portion 13b is formed below the main body portion 13a (on the base 10 side) and is formed wider than the main body portion 13a in order to lock onto the wire.

[0016] 1 and 2, the positioning member 12 is formed in a plate shape, but it may also be formed in, for example, a pin shape.

[0017] 3, the wire mesh fastener 1 can also be produced using a bolt 2. In this case, the head 20 of the bolt 2 and the welded portion 3 between the head 20 of the bolt 2 and a positioning member 12 form the base 10, the shaft 21 of the bolt 2 corresponds to the fixing member support 11, and the nut 4 corresponds to the fixing member 13.

[0018] (How to fix wire mesh) A method for fixing the wire mesh will be described with reference to Figs. 4-7. Here, a case where a wire mesh structure is produced by fixing a wire mesh WM2 to a wire mesh WM1 with the squares shifted is described as an example. For the purpose of explanation, Figs. 5 and 6 show an enlarged view of only the portion fixed by the wire mesh fixing tool 1.

[0019] First, as shown in Fig. 4, a wire mesh WM2 made of wire W2 is placed in a desired positional relationship with a wire mesh WM1 made of wire W1 erected from the ground. Here, the wire mesh WM2 is shifted horizontally with respect to the wire mesh WM1, and the horizontal wires W1 and W2 are placed so as to face each other. Here, in Fig. 4, the wire mesh in the foreground is the wire mesh W2, and the wire mesh in the background is the wire mesh W1. The horizontal wire W1 is hidden behind the wire W2.

[0020] Next, as shown in Figure 5, which is a left-hand view of Figure 4, the wire mesh fixing device 1 is prepared with the fixing member 13 removed, and the wire W1 of the wire mesh WM1 is guided into the gap K1 between the first positioning member 12a and the fixing member support 11, and the wire W2 of the wire mesh WM2 is guided into the gap K2 between the second positioning member 12b and the fixing member support 11.

[0021] Next, as shown in FIG. 6, when the fixing member 13 is screwed into the fixing member support 11, the wires W1 and W2 are pressed toward the base 10 by the locking portions 13b of the fixing member 13, and are sandwiched and fixed in the gaps K1 and K2.

[0022] As a result, the wires W1 and W2 are fixed after being positioned in the gaps K1 and K2, respectively, so that the wire meshes WM1 and WM2 can be firmly fixed in a desired state as shown in Fig. 7. By fixing the wire meshes at multiple points depending on the size of the wire meshes, etc., a strong wire mesh structure can be easily produced.

[0023] Wire mesh is a wire mesh made by welding wires together in a grid pattern. Since it is made by welding wires arranged horizontally to wires arranged vertically, the intersecting wires are not on the same plane and have a step. In order to secure it using a fastener such as wire, it was necessary to consider the front and back when installing it, for example by arranging the wires arranged horizontally so that they are close to each other.

[0024] According to the wire mesh fixing device 1, the first positioning member 12a and the second positioning member 12b are spaced apart so that a pair of wire meshes do not interfere with each other, allowing installation to be performed without considering the front and back of the wire mesh.

[0025] (Example of change) In the above-described embodiment, an example in which a pair of wire meshes WM1 and WM2 are fixed in a stacked manner is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the wire meshes WM1 and WM2 can be fixed in a three-dimensional arrangement. For example, as shown in Fig. 8, the wire mesh WM2 can be fixed by leaning it diagonally against the wire mesh WM1 that is erected from the ground. This makes it difficult for the wire mesh WM1 to fall over, and a stronger structure can be produced.

[0026] The wire meshes WM1 and WM2 can also be fixed in a vertically shifted state. In this case, the positional relationship between the wire mesh fixture 1 and the wire meshes WM1 and WM2 corresponds to a state in which the wire mesh fixture 1 is rotated 90 degrees to the right in the plane of FIG. 7 (the ground is below after the rotation). In other words, the wire mesh fixture 1 fixes the wire W1 extending in the vertical direction and the wire W2 extending in the vertical direction.

[0027] The wire mesh fixture 1 can also be turned upside down from the state shown in FIG. 5, covered from above so as to engage with the wires W1 and W2, and screwed from below with the fixing member 13.

[0028] If the fixing member 13 can be locked to the wire only by the main body portion 13a, there is no need to provide the locking portion 13b. In this case, the lower surface of the main body portion 13a corresponds to the locking portion 13b.

[0029] (Effects of the embodiment) According to the wire mesh fastener 1 of the present invention, when combining wire meshes WM1, WM2 to produce a structure, the wires W1 and W2 are engaged and positioned in the gaps K1 and K2, respectively, and are fixed by being pressed against the base 10 by the fixing member 13, so that the wires can be firmly fixed in the desired state.

[0030] (Other embodiments) 9, a wire mesh fixture 100 can be adopted in which an annular member 14 formed in a circular ring shape is used instead of the first positioning member 12. Here, the annular member 14 is formed so that a columnar member can be inserted therein and fixed to the columnar member (here, a single pipe) by a fixing member 15 such as a screw.

[0031] The annular member 14 is attached to the base 10 at the outer periphery of the main body portion 14a, and the annular member 14 is formed with a threaded portion 14b into which a fixing member 15 (e.g., a bolt) is screwed in to fix it to the single pipe P.

[0032] A method of attaching the wire mesh structure to the single pipe P will be described. First, the single pipe P is inserted into the main body 14a of the annular member 14 and fixed at a desired position by tightening with the fixing member 15. Then, in the same manner as described above, the wire mesh W1 and the wire mesh W2 are arranged at desired positions and fixed.

[0033] 10 and 11, the wire meshes W1 and W2 can be fixed to the single pipe P erected from the ground via the wire mesh fixing device 100. This allows a structure made by combining the wire meshes WM1 and WM2 to be fixed to a columnar member firmly fixed to the ground, such as the single pipe P, making it possible to create a stronger structure.

[0034] The wire mesh fastener 1 shown in FIG. 12 has a main body 14a of an annular member 14 formed smaller than that of the wire mesh fastener shown in FIG. 9, and can be attached to a reinforcing bar T erected from the ground.

[0035] If the annular member 14 is formed in a rectangular shape, it can also be attached to a prismatic column. [Explanation of symbols]
