Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a snake cage with a fence that combines a snake cage and a fence.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] The snake cage with a fence of the present invention is characterized by including a cage body 10, a fence 20 having a support column 21, and a guide 30 installed in the cage body 10 for passing the support column 21 through the cage body 10.

[0006] In the above snake cage with a fence, it is preferable that the guide 30 is cylindrical.

[0007] Also, the inside of the cage body 10 is partitioned into a planting space PS for planting and a rock space RS for accommodating a rock 41, and it is preferable that the guide 30 is arranged in the planting space PS or the rock space RS.

[0008] Further, it is preferable that the lower end of the support column 21 protrudes downward from the cage body 10.

Advantages of the Invention

[0009] The snake cage with a fence according to the present invention is easy to construct the fence even though the support column is passed through the cage body. That is, by providing a guide, the support column can be easily passed through even after filling the cage body with a filling material such as rock. Further, even when the support column is passed through in advance before filling the filling material, the contact of the filling material with the support column during the filling operation is suppressed by the guide, and the displacement due to the contact can be suppressed, and the displacement correction is unnecessary or simple.

[0010] In the snake cage with a fence, when the guide is cylindrical, it is easy to pass the support column through.

[0011] The inside of the cage body is partitioned into a planting space for planting and a rock space for accommodating rocks. When the guide is arranged in the planting space, the interference between the filling material necessary for planting and the support column can be suppressed, and when the guide is arranged in the rock space, the interference between the rock and the support column can be suppressed.

[0012] When the lower end of the support column protrudes downward from the cage body, the lower end of the support column can be inserted into the ground or the foundation, and the fence is stabilized.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] Next, an embodiment of the snake cage 1 with a fence according to this invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the snake cage 1 with a fence according to this invention includes a cage body 10, a fence 20 having support columns 21, and a guide 30 installed in the cage body 10 for passing the support columns 21 through the cage body 10. The snake cage 1 with a fence is installed in a plurality of rows along the edge of the embankment 100 as a retaining structure, for example. However, it may be used as a flower bed or as a barrier.

[0015] The cage body 10 is, for example, in a substantially box shape with a width of 2000 mm, a height of 700 mm, and a depth of 300 mm. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, it has a bottom surface 11 that is substantially rectangular in plan view and side surfaces 12 that rise from the four sides of the bottom surface 11. The part corresponding to the upper surface is open. The bottom surface 11 and the side surfaces 12 are each made of a wire mesh. Specifically, it is made of a welded wire mesh. However, it may also be made of a diamond wire mesh. The connection between the wire meshes is performed using, for example, a coil 14.

[0016] The metal wire forming the wire mesh is, for example, a zinc-aluminum alloy-plated iron wire. The wire diameter is, for example, 2 to 6 mm, particularly preferably 3 to 5 mm, and even more preferably 4 mm. The pitch of the metal wire is, for example, 50 to 150 mm. This pitch is appropriately changed to a size such that the rock 41 filled in the cage body 10 does not leak out. It is not necessary for the bottom surface 11 and the side surfaces 12 to have the same pitch, and they may be different. Also, it is not necessary for the four side surfaces 12 to have the same pitch, and they may be different from each other. Furthermore, even on the same surface, the pitch may be different between the vertical wires and the horizontal wires.

[0017] The cage body 10 is filled with rock 41 and planting material 42 as backfill material 40 (see FIG. 1).

[0018] The rock 41 is crushed stone or natural stone larger than the mesh of the side surface 12.

[0019] The implanted material 42 mainly consists of, for example, fiber pellets formed by granulating chemical fibers. The fiber pellets are obtained by crushing discarded woven fabrics such as used clothes made of, for example, polyester fibers, particularly polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers, opening the fibers to make them cotton-like (fluffy fibers) to provide chemical fiber cotton, and then pressing the chemical fiber cotton in a state where innumerable voids exist between the fibers, binding the intersections of the fibers with a binder in the pressed state to form a fiber mat, and crushing this fiber mat into an average particle size of 3 to 30 mm and an unspecified random shape. The implanted material 42 contains, in addition to these fiber pellets, porous materials such as charcoal, zeolite, and perlite. The porous material functions as a fertilizer-retaining material for retaining fertilizers. The blending ratio of the porous material is, for example, about 10% by weight of the fiber pellets.

[0020] The rock 41 and the implanted material 42 are not mixed and are filled into the cage body 10 separately. In order to partition the space filled with the rock 41 (rock space RS) and the space filled with the implanted material 42 (planting space PS), the cage body 10 is provided with a partition 15. The partition 15 is made of, for example, a wire mesh. Specifically, it is a welded wire mesh, but a diamond wire mesh may also be used. When the longitudinal direction of the bottom surface 11 is the left-right direction and the short-side direction of the bottom surface 11 is the front-back direction, the partition 15 divides the inside of the cage body 10 into two parts in the front-back direction. Of the divided spaces, the front surface 12a side becomes the rock space RS, and the rear surface 12b side becomes the planting space PS.

[0021] In addition, in order to suppress the leakage of the implanted material 42, a water-permeable sheet 50 is lined on the wire mesh or the partition 15 constituting the planting space PS (see the dashed-dotted line in FIG. 1). Note that the water-permeable sheet 50 is not shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. Examples of the water-permeable sheet 50 include non-woven fabrics, linen fabrics, and coconut fiber mats.

[0022] The fence 20 includes a plurality of columns (two in FIG. 2) 21 and a panel 22 spanning between the columns 21. The column 21 is a metal pipe with a length of, for example, 1800 mm. This column 21 includes a panel attachment portion 21a to which the panel 22 is attached, and an insertion portion 21b that extends downward from the panel attachment portion 21a and is passed through the guide 30. The insertion portion 21b is longer than the height of the cage body 10. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the lower end of the column 21 protrudes downward from the cage body 10. The protruding portion is inserted into the ground 101 located below the cage body 10 or the foundation 102 provided in advance under the cage body 10. The length of the protruding portion is, for example, 300 mm. The panel 22 is made of a wire mesh with a height of, for example, 800 mm. Specifically, it is a diamond wire mesh. However, a welded wire mesh may also be used. When the panel 22 is a wire mesh, the fence 20 becomes a so-called net fence or mesh fence. Note that instead of the wire mesh, a structure in which crossbars are arranged in the horizontal, vertical, or diagonal directions (shape fence, trellis) may be used. Also, resin, glass, etc. may be used.

[0023] The guide 30 is cylindrical and is, for example, a metal pipe. However, a pipe made of synthetic resin may also be used. The inner diameter of the guide 30 is larger than the outer diameter of the insertion portion 21b of the column so that the column 21 can pass through. This guide 30 is arranged at the inner corner of the cage body 10. Specifically, it is arranged in the planting space PS along the rear surface 12b. However, it may be arranged in the rock space RS along the front surface 12a. The guide 30 is fixed to the cage body 10 with its axial direction oriented in the vertical direction. The fixing method is, for example, fastening with wire. The vertical length of the guide 30 is approximately the same as the height of the cage body 10, the lower end of the guide 30 is located at the bottom surface 11 of the cage body 10, and the upper end of the guide 30 is located at the opening 13 of the cage body 10.

[0024] Next, a construction method of the snake cage 1 with a fence will be described.

[0025] First, assemble the cage body 10. Specifically, connect the ends of a plurality of wire meshes with a coil 14 or the like as appropriate to form a substantially box shape. Note that the wire mesh does not necessarily have to be flat, and a wire mesh that is bent into a substantially L-shape or a substantially U-shape in a side view may be used. In this case, the number of connection points can be reduced.

[0026] Next, fix the partition 15 inside the cage body 10 with a coil 14 or the like to divide the inside of the cage body 10 into a rock space RS and a planting space PS, and arrange and fix the guide 30 in the planting space PS. Note that the fixing of the partition 15 and the fixing of the guide 30 may be carried out in any order. The guide 30 is arranged at two places, namely, the inner corner of the rear surface 12b and the left side surface 12c, and the inner corner of the rear surface 12b and the right side surface 12d. However, when there are three or more support columns 21, the number is increased as appropriate according to the number. Also, the interval of the guides 30 is adjusted according to the interval of the support columns 21.

[0027] Next, line the planting space PS with a water-permeable sheet 50 and fill it with a planting material 42. Also, fill the rock space RS with rocks 41. When filling the planting material 42, the upper end of the guide 30 may be blocked so that the planting material 42 does not enter the guide 30.

[0028] Next, insert the insertion part 21b of the support column 21 into the guide 30. At this time, since a space for inserting the support column 21 is secured by the guide 30, it is easy to insert. The support column 21 is inserted until the lower end protrudes downward from the cage body 10 or the guide 30. By doing so, the lower end of the support column 21 can be inserted into the ground 101. Note that if a foundation 102 is provided in advance, it is inserted into the foundation 102.

[0029] After that, by attaching the panel 22 across the support columns 21, the construction of the wire cage 1 with a fence is completed. Plant in the planting space PS as needed.

[0030] In the above construction method, the support column 21 was passed through the guide 30 after filling the packing material 40, but it may also be passed through the guide 30 before filling the packing material 40. In this case, without the guide 30, the support column 21 may be pushed by the packing material 40 during the filling of the packing material, resulting in a displacement of the position of the support column 21. However, such problems can be suppressed by the guide 30. In particular, it is effective when the support column 21 is arranged in the rock space RS.

[0031] As described above, the embodiments of this invention have been explained. However, this invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made and implemented within the scope of this invention.

[0032] For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, of the two guides 30, one may be arranged inside the cage body 10 while the other is arranged outside the cage body 10. When arranged as shown in FIG. 4B, one panel 22 will straddle the two cage bodies 10. However, when adopting the middle column form in which two adjacent panels are supported by one support column 21, the continuity of the fence 20 can be ensured while reducing the usage amount of the guide 30 and the support column 21.

[0033] The shape of the cage body 10 is not limited to a substantially box shape, and can be variously changed, such as a substantially circular shape. Also, the inside of the cage body 10 may be used as the rock space RS without providing the planting space PS. Although it is extremely difficult to insert the support column 21 after filling with the rock 41, it can be easily inserted if the guide 30 is provided. Conversely, the inside of the cage body 10 may be used as the planting space PS without providing the rock space RS.

[0034] The water-permeable sheet 50 does not necessarily need to line the entire planting space PS. For example, on the bottom surface 11 substantially blocked by the ground 101 or on the side surface 12, even if it is a surface substantially blocked by the embankment or the adjacent cage body 10, or a surface with fine meshes where the leakage of the planting material 42 is suppressed, it does not need to be laid.

[0035] The guide is not limited to a pipe, and as long as it is generally substantially cylindrical, it can be substituted with, for example, a coil or the like.
