Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0007] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the fence 1 as seen from the road side. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the fence 1 as seen from the housing side.
[0008] The fence 1 is installed at the boundary between the site of the house and the road and is formed in an L shape in plan view. In the present embodiment, the lattice members 27 arranged on the front side and the side surface side of the fence 1 have different extending directions, and the direction in which the lattice members 27 extend is referred to as the longitudinal direction or the lateral direction.
[0009] As shown in FIG. 1, the fence 1 has a support column 10 and a fence body 20 supported by the support column 10. The fence body 20 has an upper rail 21, a lower rail 22, and vertical rails 23, 24, and 25, and is configured in a rectangular shape by these. The upper end portion of the support column 10 is fixed to the housing side portion of the upper rail 21, and the portion near the lower end portion of the support column 10 is fixed to the housing side portion of the lower rail 22.
[0010] Lattice members 27 are provided between the vertical rails 23 and 25, between the vertical rails 25 and 24, and between the vertical rails 25 and 25, respectively. The end portions of the lattice member 27 in the longitudinal direction are fixed to the vertical rails 23, 24, and 25.
[0011] Further, the fence 1 has a top capping 31 and a side capping 41. The top capping 31 is fixed to the upper crossbar 21 via the base member 35 by being fixed to the aluminum base member 35 with screws 311 (see FIG. 42) (for example, see FIG. 42). The side capping 41 is fixed to the vertical crossbar 23 or the vertical crossbar 24 via the side base member 45 by being fixed to the aluminum side base member 45 with screws 411 (see FIG. 32). FIG. 32 is an explanatory view showing a state in which a housing-side cover member 471 and a road-side cover member 472 are attached to the side capping 41 of the fence 1. FIG. 42 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which a lighting member 315 is attached to the base member 35 of the fence 1.
[0012] The fence body 20 and the support column 10 are within the range in the width direction of the top capping 31 in a plan view and do not protrude toward the housing side and the road side beyond the top capping 31. Further, the fence body 20 and the support column 10 are within the range in the width direction of the side capping 41 in a side view (a view in a direction coinciding with the longitudinal direction of the upper crossbar 21) and do not protrude toward the housing side and the road side beyond the side capping 41.
[0013] The top capping 31 is made of an aluminum material and is formed in a U-shaped with an opening on the lower side as shown in FIG. 42. The base member 35 has a base plate-shaped portion 351 horizontally disposed inside the U-shaped top capping 31, a central fin 352 extending in the longitudinal direction of the base plate-shaped portion 351 at the central position in the width direction of the base plate-shaped portion 351, a pair of side fins 353 extending in the longitudinal direction of the base plate-shaped portion 351 along the side edges in the vicinity of the side edges of the base plate-shaped portion 351, and a base portion fixed portion 354 extending downward from the base plate-shaped portion 351 and fixed to the upper crossbar 21.
[0014] The upper crossbar 21 has a hollow first hollow portion 211 located on the road side, which has a rectangular cross-sectional shape that is nearly square when cut in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the upper crossbar 21, and a second hollow portion 212 that is longer in the vertical direction than the first hollow portion 211 and has a rectangular cross-sectional shape when cut in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the upper crossbar 21.
[0015] The side coping 41 is made of an aluminum material and is formed in a U-shaped configuration that opens towards the lattice member 27 as shown in Fig. 32. The side base member 45 has a base plate-shaped portion 451 that is vertically disposed inside the U-shaped side coping 41, a central fin 452 that extends in the longitudinal direction of the base plate-shaped portion 451 at the central position of the base plate-shaped portion 451 in the vertical direction, a pair of side fins 453 that extend in the longitudinal direction of the base plate-shaped portion 451 along the side edges at the vicinity of the side edges of the base plate-shaped portion 451, and a base fixed portion 454 that extends from the base plate-shaped portion 451 towards the lattice member 27 and is fixed to the vertical crossbar 23 or the vertical crossbar 24. The vertical crossbars 23 and 24 are formed in a U-shaped cross-sectional shape that opens in the direction of the side coping 41 when cut in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the vertical crossbars 23 and 24.
[0016] A long hole 4511 (see Fig. 31 etc.) is formed in the base plate-shaped portion 451 of the side base member 45. By passing a screw 458 (see Fig. 30 etc.) through the long hole 4511, the base plate-shaped portion 451 of the side base member 45 is fixed to the vertical crossbars 23 and 24. Fig. 30 is a cross-sectional view showing the state of fixing the side base member 45 to the vertical crossbar 23 of the fence 1. Fig. 31 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the long hole 4511 through which the screw 458 for fixing the side base member 45 to the vertical crossbar 23 of the fence 1 passes. Next, the configuration of each part of the fence 1 regarding the top coping 31 and the side coping 41 will be described in detail.
[0017] The end of the top capping 31 and the end of the side capping 41 face each other at the corner C as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and the like. At the corner C, a slope forming an angle of 45° with respect to the extending direction of the top capping 31 and a slope forming an angle of 45° with respect to the extending direction of the side capping 41 abut against each other, so that the top capping 31 and the side capping 41 are orthogonal to each other. FIG. 3 is a side view showing the corner C of the fence 1.
[0018] As shown in FIG. 4, a top-side resin part 32 is provided at the end of the top capping 31. As shown in FIGS. 4, 6, and 8, the top-side resin part 32 has a fixed part 321 that extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the top capping 31 and is fixed to the top capping 31 by screwing, and a plate-shaped opposing plate part 322 that faces the side-side resin part 42. The fixed part 321 is integrally formed and connected to the opposing plate part 322, and is formed to extend laterally from the opposing plate part 322. FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing the corner C of the fence 1. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the top-side resin part 32 at the corner C of the fence 1. FIG. 8 is a side view showing a state where the side-side resin part 42 at the corner C of the fence 1 is screwed to the side capping 41.
[0019] At the peripheral edge of the opposing plate part 322, a recess 323 that is recessed in the direction in which the fixed part 321 extends with respect to the central part of the opposing plate part 322 is formed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, rectangular through holes 325 are formed in the part of the opposing plate part 322 that faces the fixed part 321. A screw 326 can be inserted through the through hole 325, and the fixed part 321 can be fixed to the top capping 31 by the screw 326. In addition, a notch 324 that extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rectangular through hole 325 and opens is formed in the opposing plate part 322. FIG. 9 is an explanatory view showing a state where the top-side resin part 32 at the corner C of the fence 1 is screwed to the top capping 31.
[0020] At the end of the side coping 41, as shown in FIG. 4, a side resin component 42 is provided. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the side resin component 42 has a fixed portion 421 that extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the side coping 41 and is fixed to the side coping 41 by screwing, and a plate-shaped opposing plate portion 422 that faces the top resin component 32. The fixed portion 421 is integrally formed and connected to the opposing plate portion 422, and extends downward from the opposing plate portion 422. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the side resin component 42 at the corner C of the fence 1.
[0021] At the peripheral edge of the opposing plate portion 422, a convex portion 423 that protrudes in a direction opposite to the direction in which the fixed portion 421 extends, more specifically, in the direction of the recess 323, is formed with respect to the central portion of the opposing plate portion 422. In addition, rectangular through-holes 425 are formed in portions of the opposing plate portion 422 that face the fixed portion 421. A screw (not shown) can be inserted through the through-hole 425, and the fixed portion 421 can be fixed to the side coping 41 with a screw (not shown).
[0022] In addition, at the center of the opposing plate portion 422, an L-shaped notch 424 that extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rectangular through-hole 425 and opens is formed. As shown in FIG. 13, a part of the upper rail 21 is inserted into the notch 424, and the position of the side resin component 42 and the side coping 41 with respect to the upper rail 21 is configured to be positioned by the portion of the side resin component 42 around the notch 424 abutting against the upper rail 21. FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing the state where the side resin component 42 at the corner C of the fence 1 is applied and abutted against the upper rail 21.
[0023] The opposing plate portion 322 forms an angle of 45° with respect to the direction in which the fixed portion 321 extends, and the opposing plate portion 422 forms an angle of 45° with respect to the direction in which the fixed portion 421 extends. The distances in the directions in which the fixed portions 321 and 421 extend from the vertex forming the angle to the axial centers of the screws 326 and 426 that fix the top resin component 32 and the side resin component 42 to the top coping 31 and the side coping 41 are different between the top resin component 32 and the side resin component 42.
[0024] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, the distance L1 in the extending direction of the fixed portion 321 from the vertex forming the angle to the axis of the screw 326 that fixes the top surface resin part 32 to the top surface capping 31, the distance L2 in the extending direction of the fixed portion 421 from the vertex forming the angle to the axis of the screw 426 that fixes the side surface resin part 42 provided on the left side surface capping 41 to the side surface capping 41, and the distance L3 in the extending direction of the fixed portion 421 from the vertex forming the angle to the axis of the screw 426 that fixes the side surface resin part 42 provided on the right side surface capping 41 to the side surface capping 41 are different. For this reason, the top surface capping 31, the left side surface capping 41, and the right side surface capping 41 are configured so that they cannot be mistakenly attached to other places. FIG. 10 is a side view showing a state where the top surface resin part 32 of the corner C of the fence 1 is screwed to the top surface capping 31. FIG. 11 is a side view showing a state where the left side surface resin part 42 of the corner C of the fence 1 is screwed to the left side surface capping 41. FIG. 12 is a side view showing a state where the right side surface resin part 42 of the corner C of the fence 1 is screwed to the right side surface capping 41.
[0025] The top surface capping 31 has a corner portion R where the linear portion of one top surface capping 31 and the linear portion of the other top surface capping 31 face each other. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, FIG. 14, etc., the linear portion of one top surface capping 31 and the linear portion of the other top surface capping 31 are orthogonal to each other by the contact of the inclined surfaces forming an angle of 45° with respect to the extending direction of the top surface capping 31 at the corner portion R. FIG. 14 is a perspective view showing the corner portion R of the fence 1.
[0026] At the end of one top surface coping 31, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 17, a top surface side resin part 62 is provided. The top surface side resin part 62 has a fixed part 621 that extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the top surface coping 31 and is fixed to the top surface coping 31 by screwing, and a U-shaped opposing part 622 that opposes the other top surface side resin part 62. The fixed part 621 is integrally formed and connected to the opposing part 622, and is formed to extend laterally from the opposing part 622. At the peripheral edge of the opposing part 622, as shown in FIG. 17, a recess 623 is formed in the same direction as the direction in which the fixed part 621 extends with respect to the central part of the opposing part 622, more specifically, in the direction away from the convex part 523 of the top surface side resin part 52. FIG. 15 is an exploded perspective view showing the corner part R of the fence 1. FIG. 17 is a perspective view showing a state in which the other top surface side resin part 62 is fixed to the end of the other top surface coping 31 of the fence 1.
[0027] At the end of the other top surface coping 31, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, a top surface side resin part 52 is provided. The top surface side resin part 52 has a fixed part 521 that extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the top surface coping 31 and is fixed to the top surface coping 31 by screwing, and a U-shaped opposing part 522 that opposes the one top surface side resin part 62. The fixed part 521 is integrally formed and connected to the opposing part 522, and is formed to extend laterally from the opposing part 522. At the peripheral edge of the opposing part 522, as shown in FIG. 16, a convex part 523 that protrudes in the direction opposite to the direction in which the fixed part 521 extends with respect to the central part of the opposing part 522 is formed. FIG. 16 is a perspective view showing a state in which the one top surface side resin part 52 is fixed to the end of the one top surface coping 31 of the fence 1.
[0028] The fixed part 521 of the top surface side resin part 52 is screwed and fixed to the top surface capping 31 with a screw 526 from below in a state where the opposing part 522 of the top surface side resin part 52 is fitted and positioned in the notch 364 formed in the top surface capping 31, as shown in Fig. 18. The fixed part 621 of the top surface side resin part 62 is screwed and fixed to the top surface capping 31 with a screw 626 from below in a state where the opposing part 622 of the top surface side resin part 62 is fitted and positioned in the notch 364 formed in the top surface capping 31, as shown in Figs. 18 and 19. Fig. 18 is a plan view showing a state where a slight gap S has occurred between the top surface side resin part 62 and the top surface side resin part 52 at the corner part R of the fence 1. Fig. 19 is a bottom view showing a state where the top surface side resin part 62 at the corner part R of the fence 1 is screwed to the top surface capping 31.
[0029] As shown in Fig. 21, a resin corner lower covering member 36 is provided below the corner part R. At the lower side of the corner part R, as shown in Fig. 20, since the base member 35 fixed to the upper crossbar 21 is formed in a rectangle, there is a part where the lower side has no base member 35 between the end of one base member 35 and the end of the other base member 35. The corner lower covering member 36 is provided to block this part. Fig. 20 is a bottom perspective view showing the lower side of the corner part of the fence 1.
[0030] As shown in FIGS. 21, 22, 25, etc., the lower corner covering member 36 has an L shape in plan view. The lower corner covering member 36 has fins 362 that extend upward from the upper surface 361 of the lower corner covering member 36 toward the top capping 31 and extend along the side edges respectively. At the positions of the corners of the pair of fins 362, that is, at the positions on the virtual line connecting the right-angled portions of the inner side edge and the outer side edge of the L shape in plan view, notches 364 that are recessed downward are formed, and this position is a position facing the contact position of one linear portion and the other linear portion of the top capping 31 at the corner portion R. Here, for convenience of explanation, the linear portion of the top capping 31 means the portion that extends in the longitudinal direction of the top capping 31. Therefore, the top capping 31 has a linear portion and both end portions of the linear portion. Also, a part of the linear portion is defined as the portion of the linear portion. As shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, the opposing portions 522 and 622 are engaged with the notches 364. FIG. 21 is an exploded perspective view showing the corner portion R of the fence 1. FIG. 22 is a perspective view showing the lower corner covering member 36 of the corner portion R of the fence 1. FIG. 23 is a perspective view showing a state where one top capping 31 is removed from the corner portion R of the fence 1. FIG. 25 is a perspective view showing a state where the top capping 31 is removed from the corner portion R of the fence 1.
[0031] Between a pair of fins 362, as shown in FIG. 24, a conducting wire 37 for supplying electricity to an illumination member 315 described later is disposed. This avoids the conducting wire 37 from being sandwiched between the top surface coping 31 and the base member 35. At both ends of the L-shaped corner lower covering member 36, at the central position of the pair of fins 362, as shown in FIG. 22 and the like, slits 365 are respectively formed as engaged portions. As shown in FIG. 25, the central fin 352 as a positioning convex portion of the base member 35 is inserted into the slit 365 and fitted therein. Further, as shown in FIGS. 23 to 25, the inner portion of the corner of the L-shaped corner lower covering member 36 (the portion on the side where the fin 362 located inside the L-shaped corner of the pair of fins 362 is provided with the slit 365 as a boundary) is placed between the central fin 352 (see FIG. 42) of the base member 35 and one side fin 353 (see FIG. 42). Further, as shown in FIGS. 23 to 25, the outer portion of the corner of the L-shaped corner lower covering member 36 (the portion on the side where the fin 362 located outside the L-shaped corner of the pair of fins 362 is provided with the slit 365 as a boundary) is placed between the central fin 352 (see FIG. 42) of the base member 35 and the other side fin 353 (see FIG. 42). Thereby, the corner lower covering member 36 is not fixed to the base member 35 by screws or the like, but is only placed so as to straddle the end of one top surface coping 31 and the end of the other top surface coping 31, and is positioned with high accuracy with respect to the base member 35, thereby improving workability. FIG. 24 is a perspective view showing a state where the conducting wire 37 is disposed at the corner portion R of the fence 1 and the other top surface coping 31 is removed.
[0032] The top capping 31 has a connecting portion L (see Fig. 33 etc.) where the linear portion of one top capping 31 and the linear portion of the other top capping 31 face each other. As shown in Figs. 1 - 2, Fig. 33 etc., at the connecting portion L, the end faces orthogonal to the extending direction of the top capping 31 abut against each other between the linear portion of one top capping 31 and the linear portion of the other top capping 31, so that the linear portion of one top capping 31 and the linear portion of the other top capping 31 are connected in a straight line. Fig. 33 is a perspective view showing the connecting portion L of the top capping 31 of the fence 1.
[0033] As shown in Fig. 34, a resin - made base connecting member 38 is provided at the connecting portion L. The base connecting member 38 is simply placed across the end of the one - side base member 35 to which one linear portion of the top capping 31 is fixed and the end of the other - side base member 35 to which the other linear portion of the top capping 31 is fixed, spanning across the one - side base member 35 and the other - side base member 35 which are connected in a straight line, and is not fixed to the ends of the base members 35 by screws or the like. Fig. 34 is an exploded perspective view showing the connecting portion L of the top capping 31 of the fence 1.
[0034] As shown in Figs. 36 and 37, the base connecting member 38 has a pair of connecting - portion plate - like parts 381, a sandwiched portion 382 formed in a U - shape that connects the pair of connecting - portion plate - like parts 381 above the pair of connecting - portion plate - like parts 381 and opens downward, and a plate - like - part connecting portion 383 that connects the pair of connecting - portion plate - like parts 381 in the space between the pair of connecting - portion plate - like parts 381. At the central position in the width direction of the connecting - portion plate - like part 381, a plate - like fin 385 that extends upward from the upper surface of the connecting - portion plate - like part 381 and extends from one end to the other end in the longitudinal direction of the connecting - portion plate - like part 381 is integrally formed with the connecting - portion plate - like part 381. Fig. 36 is an upper perspective view showing the base connecting member 38 of the connecting portion L of the top capping 31 of the fence 1. Fig. 37 is a lower perspective view showing the base connecting member 38 of the connecting portion L of the top capping 31 of the fence 1.
[0035] As shown in Fig. 35, one of a pair of connecting part plate-like parts 381 is placed between the central fin 352 (see Fig. 42) of the base member 35 and one side fin 353 (see Fig. 42), and the other of the pair of connecting part plate-like parts 381 is placed between the central fin 352 of the base member 35 and the other side fin 353. Also, as shown in Fig. 33, the clamped part 382 is clamped between the end of one linear part of the top surface cill 31 and the end of the other linear part of the top surface cill 31. Therefore, the base connecting member 38 is not screwed or fixed to either the top surface cill 31 or the base member 35. A through hole 387 penetrating the connecting part plate-like part 381 is formed at the central part of the connecting part plate-like part 381. Fig. 35 is an exploded perspective view showing the state before attaching the top surface cill 31 at the connecting part L of the top surface cill 31 of the fence 1.
[0036] At the end in the longitudinal direction of the base member 35, as shown in Fig. 41, a small opening is formed, and a resin small opening covering member 39 surrounding the end of the base member 35 is provided in the small opening. The small opening covering member 39 includes a covering main body part 391 formed in a U-shaped plate shape, and through holes 392 are formed at the ends of the covering main body part 391. By a screw penetrating through the through hole 392 and the through hole 3511 formed near the small opening of the base member 35, the small opening covering member 39 is fixed to the base member 35. Fig. 41 is a perspective view showing the state before attaching the small opening covering member to the end of the base member 35 of the fence 1.
[0037] Also, the small opening covering member 39 has an insertion part 394 inserted into the small opening of the base member 35. The insertion part 394 is provided near the end of the central part of the U-shaped small opening covering member 39 and is formed in a plate shape. When fixing the small opening covering member 39 to the small opening of the base member 35, the small opening covering member 39 is inserted and fixed to the small opening of the base member 35 such that both ends of the small opening covering member 39 where the through holes 392 are formed are on the lower side of the base member 35 and the insertion part 394 is on the upper side of the base member 35.
[0038] As shown in Fig. 26, the base member 35 is fixed to the upper rail 21 by a bracket 213 which is a metal fitting. As shown in Fig. 28, the bracket 213 is integrally connected in this order with a horizontal portion 2131 extending in the horizontal direction, a vertical portion 2132 extending in the vertical direction, and a hook portion 2133 bent upward from the lower end of the vertical portion 2132. Fig. 26 is a cross-sectional view showing the state where the base member 35 is fixed to the upper rail 21 of the fence 1. Fig. 28 is a perspective view showing the bracket 213 for fixing the base member 35 to the upper rail 21 of the fence 1.
[0039] Further, the bracket 213 has a portion to be temporarily fixed that is locked to a screw 214 serving as a temporary fixing portion provided on the base member 35. The portion to be temporarily fixed is constituted by a long hole-shaped notch portion 2134 as a hole formed at the end of the horizontal portion 2131 connected to the vertical portion 2132, and a large notch portion 2135 as a rectangular wide hole formed at the upper end portion of the vertical portion 2132 and communicating with the long hole-shaped notch portion 2134, of the bracket 213.
[0040] In the large notch portion 2135, it is possible to pass the head of the screw 214, but in the long hole-shaped notch portion 2134, the head of the screw 214 cannot pass through, and the shaft portion of the screw 214 can pass through. Therefore, by passing the head of the screw 214 temporarily fixed to the base member 35 through the large notch portion 2135 and positioning the shaft portion of the screw 214 in the long hole-shaped notch portion 2134, it is possible to temporarily fix the bracket 213 to the screw 214.
[0041] The horizontal portion 2131 is fixed to the base plate-like portion 351 of the base member 35 by screws 214. The hook portion 2133 is locked to the lower end portion of the second hollow portion 212 of the upper crossbar 21. Further, the base portion fixed portion 354 of the base member 35 is fixed to the side portion of the first hollow portion 211 by screws 215. Thus, the base member 35 is fixed to the upper crossbar 21. The portion of the base portion fixed portion 354 fixed to the first hollow portion 211 by the screw 215 is constituted by a thick portion 3541 that is thicker than the surrounding portions, as shown in FIG. 29. Thereby, the strength of the portion of the base portion fixed portion 354 is enhanced.
[0042] As shown in FIG. 42, a lighting member 315 is provided on the base plate-like portion 351 of the base member 35. A lower space 316 that opens toward the lower side of the top surface capping 31 is formed below the top surface capping 31. The lighting member 315 is provided on each of the residential side portion and the road side portion of the lower surface of the base plate-like portion 351 in the lower space 316, and is constituted by an LED or the like. The lighting member 315 is electrically connected to a power source (not shown) via a conducting wire 37 (see FIG. 24 etc.), and electricity is supplied via the conducting wire 37.
[0043] In the top surface capping 31, the conducting wire 37 is disposed between the top surface capping 31 and the base member 35 and between the central fin 352 and the other side fin 353, as indicated by the circles of the two-dot chain line in FIG. 43. Also, in the side surface capping 41, the conducting wire 37 is disposed between the side surface capping 41 and the side surface side base member 45 and between the central fin 452 and the other side fin 453, as indicated by the circles of the two-dot chain line in FIG. 44. FIG. 43 is a cross-sectional view showing the space for disposing the conducting wire 37 between the top surface capping 31 and the base member 35 of the fence 1. FIG. 44 is a cross-sectional view showing the space for disposing the conducting wire 37 between the side surface capping 41 and the side surface side base member 45 of the fence 1.
[0044] On the side coping 41, a cover member is provided to cover the vertical bars 23 and 24 of the side coping 41. As shown in FIG. 32, the cover member has a housing-side cover member 471 and a road-side cover member 472 made of aluminum, respectively. The housing-side cover member 471 has a cover plate-shaped portion 4711 and a pair of cover locking claws 4712 integrally formed and connected to the central portion of the cover plate-shaped portion 4711. The road-side cover member 472 has a cover plate-shaped portion 4721 and a pair of cover locking claws 4722 integrally formed and connected to the portion of the cover plate-shaped portion 4721 closer to the housing side.
[0045] On the vertical bar side (the right side in FIG. 32) of the side base member 45 and on the housing side, a claw receiving portion 456 with which the cover locking claw 4712 can engage is provided. When the cover locking claw 4712 engages with the claw receiving portion 456, the housing-side cover member 471 is fixed to the side base member 45. Also, on the vertical bar side (the right side in FIG. 32) of the side base member 45 and on the road side, a claw receiving portion 457 with which the cover locking claw 4722 can engage is provided. When the cover locking claw 4722 engages with the claw receiving portion 457, the road-side cover member 472 is fixed to the side base member 45.
[0046] At the lower end of the side coping 41, as shown in FIG. 39, an opening 414 that opens downward and in the direction of the vertical bars 23 and 24 is formed. As shown in FIG. 38, a resin-made lower end cover member 413 that closes the opening 414 is provided in the opening 414. The lower end cover member 413 has a cover portion extending portion 4131, a cover member abutting portion 4132, and a cover portion plate-shaped portion 4133. The cover portion extending portion 4131 extends upward from the cover portion plate-shaped portion 4133 and is configured to cover the opening 414 of the side coping 41 that opens in the direction of the vertical bars 23 and 24. FIG. 38 is a perspective view showing the lower end of the side coping 41 of the fence 1. FIG. 39 is a perspective view showing the state before the lower end cover member 413 is attached to the lower end of the side coping 41 of the fence 1.
[0047] The cover member contact portion 4132 is formed by the peripheral edge of the cover plate-shaped portion 4133, and by coming into contact with the lower end portion of the housing-side cover member 471 and the lower end portion of the road-side cover member 472 respectively, it prevents the housing-side cover member 471 and the road-side cover member 472 from falling off downward from the side base member 45. Further, as shown in FIG. 40, a through-hole 4134 is formed in the cover plate-shaped portion 4133. A conducting wire 37 for supplying electricity to the lighting member 315 is passed through the through-hole 4134. FIG. 40 is a perspective view showing a state in which the conducting wire 37 is passed through the lower end cover member 413 at the lower end portion of the side coping 41 of the fence 1.
[0048] Next, a fence construction method for constructing the top coping 31 and the side coping 41 on the fence 1 will be described. First, a step of fixing to the vertical bars 23, 24 of the side base member 45 is performed. The side base member 45 is arranged at a position facing the vertical bars 23, 24, and a step of removing the screws that fix the lattice member 27, which is a small bar, to the vertical bars 23, 24 at a position facing the long holes 4511 of the side base member 45 is performed. Then, the long holes 4511 (see FIG. 31 etc.) of the side base member 45 are opposed to the screw holes into which the removed screws were screwed, and a long screw 458 longer than the removed screws is passed through the long holes 4511, and as shown in FIG. 31, a fixing step of fixing the side base member 45 to one end portions of the vertical bars 23, 24 and the lattice member 27 is performed.
[0049] Next, a step of performing detailed processing of the base member 35 is performed. Specifically, by cutting the end portion of the base member 35, a small end opening of the base member 35 is formed. Also, holes for attaching screws 214 for temporarily fixing and fixing the bracket 213 are formed in the base member 35. Further, a mounting member for mounting the lighting member 315 is fixed to the base member 35.
[0050] Next, perform the step of fixing the base member 35 to the upper crossbar 21. First, attach a screw 214 for temporarily fixing and fixing the bracket 213 to the base member 35. Next, from the state shown in FIG. 27, pass the head of the screw 214 temporarily fixed to the base member 35 through the large cutout portion 2135 of the bracket 213, and position the shaft portion of the screw 214 in the long hole-shaped cutout portion 2134, thereby performing a temporary fixing step of temporarily fixing (temporarily fixing) the bracket 213 to the base member 35 to which the screw 214 is temporarily fixed. FIG. 27 is a cross-sectional view showing the state in which the bracket 213 is temporarily fixed before the base member 35 is fixed to the upper crossbar 21 of the fence 1.
[0051] Next, as shown in FIG. 27, perform a locking step of locking the hook portion 2133 of the bracket 213 to the lower end portion of the second hollow portion 212 of the upper crossbar 21. Then, while pressing the hook portion 2133 upward against the upper crossbar 21, press the vertical portion 2132 against the upper crossbar 21 and tighten the screw 214 to perform a main fixing step of fixing the bracket 213 to the base plate-shaped portion 351 of the base member 35. Next, as shown in FIG. 29, fix the thick portion 3541 of the portion to be fixed 354 of the base member 35 to the side portion of the first hollow portion 211 with a screw 215. Next, fit and fix the lighting member 315 to the attachment member attached to the base member 35. FIG. 29 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the portion of the screw 215 for fixing the base member 35 to the upper crossbar 21 of the fence 1.
[0052] Next, as shown in FIG. 41, attach the small-mouth covering member 39 to the end portion of the base member 35. Specifically, both end portions of the small-mouth covering member 39 in which the through holes 392 are formed are inserted into the small mouth of the base member 35 so that the lower side of the base member 35 is on the lower side and the insertion portion 394 is on the upper side of the base member 35. Then, the small-mouth covering member 39 is fixed to the base member 35 by a screw passing through the through hole 392 and the through hole 3511 formed in the vicinity of the small mouth of the base member 35.
[0053] Next, as shown in FIG. 35 and the like, a temporary placement step of placing the base connection member 38 on the base member 35 is performed. Specifically, when the base members 35 to which one linear portion of the top surface coping 31 is fixed and the base members 35 to which the other linear portion of the top surface coping 31 is fixed, which are connected linearly, are different base members 35 (in the case of part B in FIG. 1), the base connection member 38 is placed on the base plate-shaped portion 351 at the end of the base member 35 so as to span the end of the base member 35 on one side and the end of the base member 35 on the other side. At this time, each of the pair of connection plate-shaped portions 381 is placed on the base plate-shaped portion 351 between the central fin 352 and the side fin 353.
[0054] Also, when the base members 35 to which one linear portion of the top surface coping 31 is fixed and the base members 35 to which the other linear portion of the top surface coping 31 is fixed, which are connected linearly, are the same base part (in the case of part A in FIG. 1), a cutting step of cutting the plate-shaped part connection part 383 as the reinforcing connection part of the base connection member 38 is performed to make it possible to insert the central fin 352 between the pair of connection plate-shaped portions 381. Then, the central fin 352 is inserted between the pair of connection plate-shaped portions 381, and each of the pair of connection plate-shaped portions 381 is placed on the base plate-shaped portion 351 between the central fin 352 and the side fin 353, thereby performing a base connection member placement step of placing the base connection member 38 on the base plate-shaped portion 351.
[0055] Also, as shown in FIG. 25, a temporary placement step of placing the lower corner covering member 36 at the corner portion R is performed. Specifically, with the central fin 352 as the positioning convex portion of the base member 35 inserted into the slit 365 of the lower corner covering member 36, as shown in FIGS. 23 to 25, the inner portion of the corner of the L-shaped lower corner covering member 36 (the portion on the side where the fin 362 located inside the L-shaped corner of the pair of fins 362 is provided, with the slit 365 as the boundary) is placed between the central fin 352 (see FIG. 42) of the base member 35 and one side fin 353 (see FIG. 42). Also, as shown in FIGS. 23 to 25, the outer portion of the corner of the L-shaped lower corner covering member 36 (the portion on the side where the fin 362 located outside the L-shaped corner of the pair of fins 362 is provided, with the slit 365 as the boundary) is placed between the central fin 352 (see FIG. 42) of the base member 35 and the other side fin 353 (see FIG. 42). Thereby, the lower corner covering member 36 is placed on these ends so as to straddle the end of one base member 35 and the end of the other base member 35.
[0056] Next, a step of wiring and routing the conducting wire 37 is performed. Specifically, for the conducting wire 37 on the top cover 31, it is wired in the space between the top cover 31 and the base member 35, indicated by the circles of the two-dot chain line in FIG. 43. Then, the conducting wire 37 and the lighting member 315 are electrically connected. Also, for the conducting wire 37 on the side cover 41, it is wired in the space between the side cover 41 and the side base member 45, indicated by the circles of the two-dot chain line in FIG. 44.
[0057] Next, attach the side coping 41. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, insert the end of the upper crossbar 21 into the notch 424 (see FIG. 5) of the side resin component 42, and bring the portion of the side resin component 42 around the notch 424 into contact with the upper crossbar 21. Thereby, the positions of the side resin component 42 and the side coping 41 in the vertical direction with respect to the upper crossbar 21 are determined with high precision, and the positioning of the side resin component 42 and the side coping 41 with respect to the upper crossbar 21 is performed. Further, attach the lower end cover member 413 so as to close the opening 414 at the lower end of the side coping 41, and fix it to the lower end of the side coping 41 with screws. Then, fix the side coping 41 to the side base member 45 with screws 411 (see FIG. 32 etc.), and the side coping 41 is attached to the side base member 45.
[0058] Next, attach the top coping 31. Specifically, cut the top coping 31 to a predetermined length and place it on the base member 35. At this time, as shown in FIG. 33, place the top coping 31 on the base member 35 in a state where the sandwiched portion 382 of the base connecting member 38 is sandwiched by the end of one top coping 31 and the end of the other top coping 31. Next, as shown in FIG. 42, perform a fixing step of fixing the top coping 31 to the base member 35 with screws 311.
[0059] Next, perform a step of attaching the housing side cover member 471 and the road side cover member 472 to the side coping 41. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 32, insert the cover locking claw 4712 of the housing side cover member 471 into the claw receiving portion 456 and engage it to fix the housing side cover member 471 to the side base member 45. Insert the cover locking claw 4722 of the road side cover member 472 into the claw receiving portion 457 and engage it to fix the road side cover member 472 to the side base member 45. Through the above steps, the fence 1 having the top coping 31 and the side coping 41 is completed.
[0060] According to this embodiment, the following effects are achieved. In this embodiment, at the corner C, a top surface side resin component 32 provided at the end of the top surface capping 31 and a side surface side resin component 42 provided at the upper end of the side surface capping 41 and facing the top surface side resin component 32 are provided. Thereby, it becomes possible to reduce the exposure of the resin component to the outside of the top surface capping 31 and the side surface capping 41 at the corner C. Further, it becomes possible to protect the end of the shaped material at the corner C with the top surface side resin component 32 and the side surface side resin component 42.
[0061] Further, in this embodiment, the side surface side resin component 42 has a convex portion 423, and the top surface side resin component 32 has a concave portion 323 into which the convex portion 423 fits. Thereby, even if a slight gap S is formed between the top surface side resin component 32 and the side surface side resin component 42 due to the shaped material tolerance as shown in FIG. 7, it becomes possible to make the gap S less noticeable. Further, by making a part of the shape of the convex portion 423 horizontal, it becomes possible to easily absorb the tolerance. FIG. 7 is a side view showing a state in which a slight gap S has occurred between the top surface side resin component 32 and the side surface side resin component 42 at the corner C of the fence 1.
[0062] Further, in this embodiment, the top surface side resin component 32 is fixed to the top surface capping 31 by screwing. Thereby, it becomes possible to prevent the sharp portion of the top surface capping 31 at the corner C from being exposed.
[0063] Further, in this embodiment, the screwing positions of the top surface side resin component 32 and the side surface side resin component 42 are different for each corner. Thereby, it becomes possible to prevent misassembly when the top surface side resin component 32 is factory-assembled to the top surface capping 31.
[0064] Further, in this embodiment, a through hole 325 for inserting a screw 326 is formed in the portion of the top surface side resin component 32 facing the side surface side resin component 42. Thereby, it becomes possible to screw the top surface side resin component 32 to the top surface capping 31.
[0065] In addition, in the present embodiment, the side resin component 42 is fixed to the side lintel 41 by screwing. This makes it possible to prevent the sharp part of the side lintel 41 at the corner C from being exposed.
[0066] In addition, in the present embodiment, a through hole 425 for inserting a screw 426 is formed in the portion of the side resin component 42 facing the top resin component 32. This makes it possible to screw the side resin component 42 to the top lintel 31.
[0067] In addition, in the present embodiment, the side resin component 42 is in contact with the end of the upper crossbar 21. This makes it possible to assemble the side lintel 41 without affecting the tolerance of the corner C of the side lintel 41.
[0068] In addition, in the present embodiment, a resin component 52 and another resin component 62 facing the resin component 52 are provided at the corner portion R. Thus, by combining the convex portion 523 and the concave portion 623 of the resin components 52 and 62, it is possible to reduce the exposure of the resin components 52 and 62 to the outside of the top lintel 31 at the corner portion R. Further, it is possible to protect the cut end of the profile material at the corner portion R with the top resin components 52 and 62.
[0069] In addition, in the present embodiment, one top resin component 52 has a convex portion 523 protruding toward the other resin component 62, and the other resin component 62 has a concave portion 623 into which the convex portion 523 fits. Thus, even if a slight gap S opens between the top resin component 52 and the top resin component 62 due to profile tolerance as shown in FIG. 18, it is possible to prevent light from leaking through the gap S and make the gap S less noticeable.
[0070] In addition, in the present embodiment, the top resin components 52 and 62 are fixed to the top lintel 31 by screwing. This makes it possible to prevent the sharp part of the top lintel 31 at the corner portion R from being exposed.
[0071] In addition, in the present embodiment, a corner lower covering member 36 is provided at the corner portion R. This makes it possible to hide the internal structure at the corner portion R.
[0072] In addition, in the present embodiment, fins 362 extending toward the top surface coping 31 are provided on the upper surface of the corner lower covering member 36 facing the top surface coping 31. By wiring the conducting wire 37 between the fins 362 in this way, it is possible to prevent the conducting wire 37 from being pinched.
[0073] In addition, in the present embodiment, notches 364 are formed in the fins 362 facing the contact position between the end of one top surface coping 31 and the end of the other top surface coping 31 at the corner portion R. Thus, by fitting the top surface side resin parts 52 and 62 with the notches 364, position adjustment becomes possible and positioning is achieved.
[0074] In addition, in the present embodiment, the base member 35 has a central fin 352 as a positioning convex portion, and a slit 365 as an engaged portion with which the central fin 352 engages is formed in the corner lower covering member 36. By engaging the slit 365 with the fin 352 in this way, the inner part of the corner of the L-shaped corner lower covering member 36 (the part on the side where the fin 362 located inside the L-shaped corner among the pair of fins 362 is provided with the slit 365 as a boundary) is placed between the central fin 352 (see FIG. 42) of the base member 35 and one side fin 353 (see FIG. 42). Also, the outer part of the corner of the L-shaped corner lower covering member 36 (the part on the side where the fin 362 located outside the L-shaped corner among the pair of fins 362 is provided with the slit 365 as a boundary) is placed between the central fin 352 (see FIG. 42) of the base member 35 and the other side fin 353 (see FIG. 42). For this reason, alignment of the corner lower covering member 36 with respect to the base member 35 becomes easy. Also, during and after the assembly of the fence 1, it is possible to prevent the corner lower covering member 36 from moving greatly.
[0075] In addition, in the present embodiment, a bracket 213 is provided which is locked to the upper rail 21 and fixed to the base member 35, thereby fixing the base member 35 to the upper rail 21. As a result, even if the thickness of the portion of the upper rail 21 to which the base member 35 is fixed is thin, the base member 35 can be fixed to the upper rail 21 by the bracket 213.
[0076] In addition, in the present embodiment, the bracket 213 has a portion to be temporarily fixed (elongated hole-shaped notch portion 2134, large notch portion 2135) that is locked to a screw 214 serving as a temporarily fixed portion provided on the base member 35. This makes it possible to prevent the bracket 213 from falling when the screw 214 for fixing the bracket 213 is tightened.
[0077] In addition, in the present embodiment, the upper rail 21 and the base member 35 are fixed by screwing, and the portion of the upper rail 21 that is screwed to the base member 35 by a screw 215 is constituted by a thick portion 3541. As a result, even if the overall thickness of the upper rail 21 is thin, it is possible to improve the strength in a certain direction.
[0078] In addition, in the present embodiment, a small opening is formed at the end of the base member 35, and a small opening covering member 39 that surrounds the end of the base member 35 is provided. This makes it possible to cover and hide the profile small opening in a narrow space near the small opening.
[0079] In addition, in the present embodiment, the small opening covering member 39 has an insertion portion that is inserted into the small opening. As a result, by inserting the small opening covering member 39 into the small opening, it is possible to easily cover and hide the small opening.
[0080] Also, in the present embodiment, the method of constructing the fence includes a temporary fixing step of temporarily fixing a bracket 213 that fixes the base member 35 to the upper rail 21 by being locked to the upper rail 21 and fixed to the base member 35, a locking step of locking the temporarily fixed bracket 213 to the upper rail 21, and a main fixing step of fixing the bracket 213 to the base member 35. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the bracket 213 from falling when tightening the screw 214 that fixes the bracket 213.
[0081] Also, in the present embodiment, a housing-side cover member 471 and a road-side cover member 472 as cover members that cover the vertical rails 23 and 24 sides of the side coping 41 are engaged and provided on the side coping 41. Thereby, it becomes possible to improve the design property of the side coping 41.
[0082] Also, in the present embodiment, the cover locking claw 4712 as the housing-side engaging portion and the cover locking claw 4722 as the road-side engaging portion have different shapes, and the cover locking claw 4712 cannot be engaged with the claw receiving portion 457 as the road-side engaged portion, and the cover locking claw 4722 as the road-side engaging portion cannot be engaged with the claw receiving portion 456 as the housing-side engaged portion. Thereby, it becomes possible to prevent the housing-side cover member 471 from being mistakenly assembled to the road side and the road-side cover member 472 from being assembled to the housing side.
[0083] Also, in the present embodiment, an opening 414 that opens downward is formed at the lower end portion of the side coping 41, and a lower end cover member 413 that closes the opening 414 is provided in the opening 414. Thereby, it becomes possible to conceal the small details with the lower end cover member 413.
[0084] Also, in the present embodiment, the lower end cover member 413 has a cover extension portion 4131 that extends upward and covers the small rail side of the side coping 41. Thereby, it becomes possible to cover, in addition to concealing the small details with the lower end cover member 413, the portion that cannot be completely covered when the housing-side cover member 471 and the road-side cover member 472 as side coping covers are attached.
[0085] Also, in the present embodiment, a through-hole 4134 for passing the conducting wire 37 is formed in the lower-end cover member 413. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the exposure of the side drip edge 41 of the conducting wire 37, which is a power cable, to the outside.
[0086] Also, in the present embodiment, the lower-end cover member 413 has a cover member abutting portion 4132 that abuts against the lower ends of the housing-side cover member 471 and the road-side cover member 472. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the housing-side cover member 471 and the road-side cover member 472 from falling due to gravity.
[0087] Also, in the present embodiment, the method for constructing the fence includes a step of removing the screws for fixing the lattice member 27 to the vertical rails 23 and 24, and a fixing step of fixing the side-base member 45 to the lattice member 27 and the vertical rails 23 and 24 with the screws 458. Thereby, even when the vertical rails 23 and 24 are made of a thin-profile material, it is possible to fix the side-base member 45.
[0088] Also, in the present embodiment, in the fixing step, the screw 458 penetrates through the long hole 4511 formed in the side-base member 45. Thereby, regardless of the dimensional differences, it is possible to improve productivity by making the hole processing the same, and it is possible to reduce costs by being able to handle different dimensions with the same parts.
[0089] Also, in the present embodiment, the connection portion L(B) is provided with a base connection member 38 that is fixed to the top drip edge 31 in a state of being placed so as to straddle the end of one-side base member 35 and the end of the other-side base member 35. In addition, in the present embodiment, the method for constructing the fence is such that the top surface coping 31 has a connection part L(B). In the connection part L, a base connection member mounting step is performed in which the base connection member 38 is placed so as to straddle the end of one side base member 35 and the end of the other side base member 35. And a fixing step is performed in which one top surface coping 31 is fixed to the one side base member 35 and the other top surface coping 31 is fixed to the other side base member 35 in a state where a part of the base connection member 38 is sandwiched between the end of one top surface coping 31 and the end of the other top surface coping 31. Thereby, the attachment of the top surface coping 31 can be assembled simply by placing it on the base member 35 from above. Further, since the base connection member 38 is not screwed, it is possible to finely adjust the tolerance in the base connection member 38.
[0090] In addition, in the present embodiment, in the method for constructing the fence, in the base connection member 38 arranged at the connection part L(A) arranged at a position facing the central fin 352 as the positioning convex part, a cutting step is performed in which the plate-shaped part connection part 383 as the reinforcing connection part is cut before the base connection member mounting step. Thereby, the base connection member 38 arranged at the connection part L(A) and the base connection member 38 arranged at the connection part L(B) are made common, and cost reduction can be achieved by reducing the types of parts, and productivity improvement can be achieved.
[0091] In addition, in the present embodiment, a lighting member 315 is provided below the top surface coping 31. Thereby, it is possible to illuminate only downward by the lighting member 315 inside the top surface coping 31. Therefore, it is possible to illuminate the planting and the fence 1.
[0092] In addition, in the present embodiment, a lower space 316 that opens downward is formed below the top surface coping 31, and the lighting member 315 is arranged in the lower space 316. Thereby, it is possible to illuminate the planting and the fence 1.
[0093] Also, in the present embodiment, the conducting wire 37 that supplies electricity to the lighting member 315 is disposed between the top surface coping 31 and the base member 35. As a result, by removing the top surface coping 31 from the base member 35, it becomes possible to access the conducting wire 37, so that the maintainability can be improved.
[0094] Also, in the present embodiment, the conducting wire 37 that supplies electricity to the lighting member 315 is disposed between the side surface coping 41 and the side surface base member 45. As a result, by removing the side surface coping 41 from the side surface base member 45, it becomes possible to access the conducting wire 37, so that the maintainability can be improved.
[0095] Also, in the present embodiment, on the surface of the base member 35 facing the top surface coping 31, side fins 353 extending toward the top surface coping 31 are provided. Thereby, by wiring the conducting wire 37 inside the side fins 353 in the top surface coping 31, pinching can be prevented.
[0096] Also, in the present embodiment, on the surface of the side surface base member 45 facing the side surface coping 41, side fins 453 extending toward the side surface coping 41 are provided. Thereby, by wiring the conducting wire 37 inside the side fins 453 in the side surface coping 41, pinching can be prevented.
[0097] The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications, improvements, etc. within the scope that can achieve the object of the present disclosure are included in the present disclosure. For example, in the present embodiment, the side surface resin component 42 has the convex portion 423, and the top surface resin component 32 has the concave portion 323 into which the convex portion 423 fits, but the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. For example, a configuration in which the top surface resin component has a convex portion and the side surface resin component has a concave portion into which the convex portion fits may also be acceptable.
[0098] Also, in the present embodiment, the base connection member 38 was placed on the base plate-shaped portion 351, but the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. For example, the base connection member 38 may be fixed to the base plate-shaped portion 351 by screwing. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 45 and 46, a long oblong hole 3516 is formed in the base plate-shaped portion 351 parallel to the longitudinal direction of the base member 35, and a circular through-hole 3811 is formed in the connecting plate-shaped portion 381 of the base connecting member 38. A configuration may be adopted in which a screw 3812 passes through the oblong hole 3516 and the through-hole 3811 to fix the connecting plate-shaped portion 381 of the base connecting member 38 to the base plate-shaped portion 351. FIG. 45 is an upper perspective view showing a state in which the base connecting member 38 is screwed in a modified example of the fence 1. FIG. 46 is a lower perspective view showing a state in which the base connecting member 38 is screwed in a modified example of the fence 1.
[0099] By passing the screw 3812 through the oblong hole 3516 in this way, with the screw 3812 in a temporarily fixed state, it becomes possible to tighten the screw 3812 after the step of assembling the top surface capping 31. Thereby, even when screwing, the position adjustment of the base connecting member 38 becomes possible.
