Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fence in which a fence body is attached to a railing. [Background technology]

[0002] Barricades and gate-type guardrails have been used on roads to separate vehicular and pedestrian passages, and to prevent pedestrians from approaching facilities in factories and warehouses. A known form of guardrail is to secure the fence body using horizontal beams.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a fence fixing device that can easily reinforce the installation of a fence body by using a horizontally installed single pipe of the barricade to fix a fence body to the barricade, or by fixing a reinforcing single pipe to a parallel-installed fence body.

[0004] Furthermore, Patent Document 2 discloses a detachable safety fence that can be installed from one side of an existing fence or pillars or beams of an automated warehouse or the like.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-293333 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-001699 DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] An example of an existing fence is a gate-type guardrail. This type of guardrail is arranged in an inverted U shape by bending a steel pipe into a U shape and burying both ends of the U into the installation surface. Furthermore, to reinforce the guardrail, a small-diameter steel pipe is installed between the steel pipes on both sides, resulting in a configuration in which two horizontal members are arranged, one above the other. This type of guardrail is also often used in a configuration in which multiple members are arranged horizontally.

[0007] When attaching a fence body to such a guardrail, mounting brackets are placed on the upper and lower cross members, and these brackets are used to secure the fence posts in the vertical direction.Furthermore, the fence body can be secured between fence posts secured in different positions on the same guardrail, or between fence posts secured to another adjacent guardrail.

[0008] The lower cross member is located between the steel pipes on both sides, and may be located on the same plane, or on one side of the steel pipe, either in front or behind. Depending on the installation site, the fence body may be attached to the front or rear of the protective fence, so considering the position of the lower cross member, there are three possible positions for the protective fence and the fence body.

[0009] If the mounting brackets for the cross members and the fence posts were designed to be adjustable in length, then even if there were three possible positional relationships, one type of mounting bracket could be used for each of the top and bottom. However, this would mean that the length would have to be adjusted each time the fence body was installed, and since a length-adjustable design would require a specified length to be maintained, adjustments would have to be made each time the fence posts were positioned vertically, which could cause problems not only in terms of ease of installation but also in terms of appearance.

[0010] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a fence in which the fence body can be fixed via fence posts fixed to the fence while reducing the number of types of mounting members. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration: That is, the fence of the present invention comprises fence posts that are erected on an installation surface and spaced apart on the left and right, upper cross members that are installed on the tops of the fence posts, and a fence support that is installed below the upper cross members and either on the front side, rear side, or in the same plane as the fence posts. Taa fence having a lower cross member, an upper mounting member attached to the upper cross member, a lower mounting member attached to the lower cross member, a fence post fixed to the upper mounting member and the lower mounting member 30 and arranged in the vertical direction, and a fence body fixed to the fence post, The lower mounting member has a pair of vertical plate portions fixed to both the left and right sides of the fence post, and the vertical plate portions have cutout portions formed upward from their lower ends into which the lower cross member can be placed, and the cutout portions correspond to the installation position of the lower cross member, and include a first cutout into which the lower cross member is placed when the lower cross member is placed in front of the fence post; The aforementioned The lower cross member, a second cutout into which the lower cross member is placed when the lower cross member is located in the same plane as the fence post; and a third cutout into which the lower cross member is placed when the lower cross member is located behind the fence post. , which are located at different positions.

[0012] In the present invention, the two vertical plate portions of the lower mounting member and the fence post each have a through-hole passing through in the left-right direction, and the vertical plate portions are fixed to the fence post via bolt members inserted into the through-holes, and the through-holes of the fence post may be elongated holes that are long in the vertical direction. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] According to the present invention, fence posts can be fixed to the fence via a common lower mounting bracket regardless of the installation position of the lower cross member of the fence, resulting in excellent ease of construction. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] Next, a best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a front view showing a first embodiment of a fence 100 according to the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the main part taken along line AA in Fig. 1. The fence 100 according to the present invention comprises a plurality of fences 10 arranged in the left-right direction, and a fence body 50 attached between fence posts 40 arranged in the up-down direction via upper mounting members 20 and lower mounting members 30. Here, the left-right direction, up-down direction, and front-to-rear direction of the fence 100 are the same directions as those shown in Figs. 1 and 2, unless otherwise specified, and the following description will be based on these directions.

[0016] The fence 10 has fence posts 11 that are erected on the installation surface and spaced apart on the left and right, and upper cross members 12 that are erected on top of the fence posts 11. In this embodiment, the fence posts 11 and upper cross members 12 are made by bending long round steel pipes into a U-shape, and are formed integrally from one fence post 11 through the upper cross member 12 to the other fence post 11. The tips of both fence posts 11, 11 are buried in the installation surface, so that the fence 10 is erected on the installation surface. Multiple fences 10 are installed at intervals in the left-right direction, and in this embodiment, two fences 10 are installed.

[0017] The fence 10 is formed between left and right fence posts 11, with lower cross members 13 erected below upper cross members 12. In this embodiment, the lower cross members 13 are made of round steel pipes with a smaller diameter than the upper cross members 12. The lower cross members 13 are not limited to steel pipes, and may be made of steel material. Also, in this embodiment, middle cross members 14 with the same diameter as the lower cross members 13 are erected between the upper and lower cross members 12 and 13. In this embodiment, the left and right ends of the lower cross members 13 and middle cross members 14 are fixed by welding to the centers of the left and right fence posts 11 in the front-to-rear direction.

[0018] Next, the relationship between the fence post 40 to which the fence body 50 is fixed and the fence 10 will be described in detail. The fence post 40 is fixed to the fence 10 while arranged in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the fence post 40 is a steel pipe with a rectangular cross section, with the fence body 50 arranged on the front side and the upper cross member 12 and lower cross member 13 of the fence 10 arranged on the rear side.

[0019] Figure 3 is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the upper mounting member 20 in Figure 2, Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in Figure 3, and Figure 5 is an explanatory diagram of the upper mounting member 20 in Figure 3. The upper mounting member 20 attaches the vertical middle section of the fence post 40 to the upper cross member 12 of the fence 10, and in this embodiment is equipped with a post fitting portion 21 that fits with the fence post 40, and a fence fitting portion 22 that fits with the upper cross member 12.

[0020] The post fitting portion 22 is formed in a U-shaped cross section, having a vertical plate-shaped portion 23 and a pair of bending portions 24, 25 formed by bending both widthwise ends of the vertical plate-shaped portion 23 forward, and is open toward the front, with the bending portions 24, 25 being arranged at a distance equal to or slightly greater than the left-right dimension of the fence post 40.

[0021] The bent portions 24, 25 have through holes 24a, 25a in the left-right direction, which is the thickness direction. The fence post 40 has a pair of through holes 41, 42 formed on both the left and right side surfaces. To secure the upper mounting member 20 to the fence post 40, the fence post 40 is moved inside the U-shaped portion of the post fitting portion 21, and the bolt member 61 is inserted through the through holes 25a, 42, 41, 24a in that order. The nut member 71 is then tightened from the tip of the screw. In this embodiment, the fence post 40 has multiple through holes 41, 42 spaced apart in the vertical direction, allowing the height at which the post fitting portion 21 is fixed relative to the fence post 40 to be adjusted. In this embodiment, the rear side of the fence post 40 abuts against the vertical plate-shaped portion 23, which is formed on a flat plate, making it easy to position the fence post 40 vertically.

[0022] The fence fitting portion 22 is formed by extending the vertical plate-shaped portion 23 upward and folding it back halfway to form an inverted U-shaped cross section, and has a rear plate-shaped portion 26 that folds back from the upper end of the vertical plate-shaped portion 23 into a semicircular cross section and is arranged with a distance from the vertical plate-shaped portion 23 in the fore-and-aft direction that is approximately the same as or slightly larger than the fore-and-aft dimension of the upper cross member 12.

[0023] When fixing the upper mounting member 20 to the upper cross member 12, the upper mounting member 20 is placed above the upper cross member 12, and the upper cross member 12 is moved between the vertical plate-shaped portion 23 and the rear plate-shaped portion 26 so that the fence fitting portion 22 is fitted into the upper cross member 12.

[0024] When the fence fitting portion 22 is fitted to the upper cross member 12, the lower ends of the vertical plate-shaped portion 23 and the rear plate-shaped portion 26 are located lower than the lower end of the upper cross member 12. A through-hole 26a is formed in the lower end of the rear plate-shaped portion 26, and a screw hole 23a is formed in the lower end of the vertical plate-shaped portion 23. Furthermore, when the upper mounting member 20 is fixed to the fence post 40, a through-hole 43 is formed in the rear surface of the fence post 40 corresponding to the position of the screw hole 23a. The upper cross member 12 is fastened between the vertical plate-shaped portion 23 and the rear plate-shaped portion 26 by screwing a bolt member 62 from the through-hole 26a through the screw hole 23a and passing through the through-hole 43. In this embodiment, the screw hole 23a is burred to protrude forward, and the protruding portion can also be positioned within the through-hole 43, allowing the rear surface of the fence post 40 to abut against the front surface of the vertical plate-shaped portion 23.

[0025] This allows the fence post 40 to be fixed to the upper cross member 12 via the upper mounting member 20.

[0026] Next, the lower mounting member 30 will be described. Fig. 6 is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the lower mounting member 30 in Fig. 2, Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC in Fig. 6, and Fig. 8 is an explanatory diagram of the lower mounting member 30 in Fig. 3. The lower mounting member 30 attaches the lower end of the fence post 40 to the lower cross member 13 of the fence 10, and has a pair of vertical plate sections 31, 32 fixed to both the left and right sides of the fence post 40, and a connecting plate section 33 connecting these. The lower cross member 13 of the fence is further fixed via the vertical plate sections 31, 32. In this embodiment, the plate material is bent to form a U-shaped cross section, but it is also possible to form the individual components separately and connect them by welding or the like.

[0027] Through holes 31a, 32a that penetrate in the left-right direction are formed in the front tips of the vertical plate portions 31, 32. Furthermore, through holes 44, 45 that penetrate in the left-right direction are formed in the fence post 40 at the positions where the vertical plate portions 31, 32 are fixed. When fixing the lower mounting member 30 to the fence post 40, the fence post 40 is moved between the vertical plate portions 31, 32, and the bolt member 63 is passed through each of the through holes 32a, 45, 44, 31a in order, and the nut member 72 is then tightened.

[0028] Because the through holes 44, 45 are elongated vertically along the vertical direction of the fence post 40, the height position of the bolt member 61 that penetrates them can be adjusted as desired. This facilitates adjustment of the mounting position of the vertical plate portions 31, 32. Specifically, when the fence 100 according to the present invention is newly constructed, including the fence 10, the spacing between the upper cross member 12 and the lower cross member 13 is constant. However, when the fence post 40 and the fence body 50 are attached to an existing fence 10 to form the fence 100 according to the present invention, the spacing between the upper cross member 12 and the lower cross member 13 varies. Therefore, a structure that can accommodate this spacing is preferable. Here, if the through holes 41, 42 used to secure the upper mounting member 20 to the fence post 40 are also elongated vertically, the degree of freedom in adjusting the mounting position increases compared to the present embodiment. However, there is a possibility that the fence post 40 may shift downward due to the weight of the fence post 40 and the fence body 50 after installation. Therefore, multiple through holes 41, 42 corresponding to the upper mounting member 20 are formed at intervals in the vertical direction, and through holes 44, 45 corresponding to the lower mounting member 30 are formed vertically, thereby making it possible to adjust the mounting position of the fence post 40 and preventing the fence post 40 from shifting downward due to its own weight after installation.

[0029] The vertical plate portions 31, 32 have cutout portions 34, 35 formed upward from their lower ends, in which the lower horizontal member 13 can be placed. The cutout portions 34, 35 have first cutouts 34a, 35a, second cutouts 34b, 35b, and third cutouts 34c, 35c. First, the second cutouts 34b, 35b, in which the lower horizontal member 13 according to this embodiment is placed, will be described. The second cutouts 34b, 35b are located in the middle of the cutout portions 34, 35 in the front-to-rear direction. In this embodiment, the upper ends of the second cutouts 34b, 35b are formed in a semicircular shape to match the circular cross-sectional shape of the lower horizontal member 13.

[0030] The front-to-rear positions of the second notches 34b, 35b are such that when the fence post 40 is attached to the fence 10 via the upper mounting member 20 described above, the lower cross member 13 is positioned at the upper end within the second notches 34b, 35b when the fence post 40 is positioned in the vertical direction.

[0031] If the lower cross-member 13 is placed within the second cutouts 34b, 35b, it is possible, in combination with the upper mounting member 20, to temporarily fasten the fence post 40 to the fence 10, but there is a risk that the lower cross-member 13 will move within the second cutouts 34b, 35b, causing the fence post 40 to tilt diagonally. Therefore, in this embodiment, a screw hole 33a that penetrates in the front-to-rear direction is formed in the connecting plate portion 33 of the lower mounting member 30, and a bolt member 64 is screwed into the screw hole 33a toward the lower cross-member 13 so that the tip of the bolt abuts the lower cross-member 13 against the edge of the second cutouts 34b, 35b, thereby fixing it in place.

[0032] This allows the lower mounting member 30 to be firmly fixed to the lower cross-member 13. Furthermore, movement of the lower cross-member 13 arranged within the second cutouts 34b, 35b is suppressed, so tilting of the fence post 40 is suppressed and it can be maintained in an up-down position.

[0033] The fence body 50 is attached between the fence posts 40. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the fence body 50 is a so-called mesh fence in which many vertical members and horizontal members are arranged in a grid pattern, and is fixed to the front side of the fence posts 40 via mounting brackets 46.

[0034] In this embodiment, one fence post 40 is fixed to each of two fences 10 arranged in the left-right direction, and one fence body 50 is fixed to each of these two fence posts 40. Furthermore, by arranging multiple pairs of fences 10 with fence bodies 50 attached in the left-right direction, it is possible to create fence bodies 50 that are arranged continuously in the left-right direction. In other words, the fence body 50 may be formed from a single fence body 50, as in this embodiment, or may be formed by arranging multiple fence bodies 50 in the left-right direction.

[0035] This makes it possible, for example, to retrofit the fence body 50 to an existing fence 10. Moreover, by using the upper mounting member 20 and the lower mounting member 30, the fence post 40 can be firmly fixed to the fence 10, making installation easy.

[0036] Fig. 9 is a side view showing a second embodiment of a fence 100 according to the present invention, Fig. 10 is an enlarged side view of the vicinity of the upper mounting member 20 in Fig. 9, Fig. 11 is a cross-section taken along line DD in Fig. 10, Fig. 12 is an explanatory diagram of the upper mounting member 20 in Fig. 10, Fig. 13 is an enlarged side view of the vicinity of the lower mounting member 30 in Fig. 9, and Fig. 14 is a cross-section taken along line EE in Fig. 13. The fence according to this embodiment differs from the fence 100 shown in Figs. 1 to 8 in that the lower cross-member 13 is positioned in front of the fence post 11, which results in a different shape for the upper mounting member 20 and a different position for fixing the lower cross-member 13 to the lower mounting member 30. Therefore, differences from the fence 100 shown in Figs. 1 to 8 will be mainly described, and the same components as those already described will be designated by the same reference numerals and will not be described again.

[0037] In the fence 10 of this embodiment, the lower cross member 13 is positioned in front of the fence post 11, so the lower cross member 13 protrudes beyond the upper cross member 12 by an amount equal to the longitudinal dimension of the lower cross member 13. Therefore, if an attempt is made to position the fence post 40 in the vertical direction using the upper cross member 12 as a reference, it will interfere with the lower cross member 13. In this embodiment, the fence post 40 is positioned in the vertical direction using the lower cross member 13 as a reference, and the structure is such that it can absorb any gaps that occur between the upper cross member 12 and the fence post 40.

[0038] Specifically, compared to the upper mounting member 20 shown in Fig. 5, the upper mounting member 20 according to this embodiment has bent portions 24, 25 that extend forward, and accordingly the through holes 24a, 25a are positioned further forward in the front-to-rear direction. Furthermore, the vertical plate-shaped portion 23 has protruding portions 23b, 23c that protrude forward from the vertical middle portion and the lower end. When the upper mounting member 20 is fixed to the fence post 40 with the bolt member 62, a gap is created between the rear surface of the fence post 40 and the vertical plate-shaped portion 23, but the fence post 40 can abut against the protruding tips of the protruding portions 23b, 23c. This allows the fence post 40 to be securely fixed.

[0039] The lower mounting member 30 is positioned so that the fence post 40 and the fence 10 can be attached via the upper mounting member 20 of this embodiment, and the lower cross member 13 can be positioned when the fence post 40 is arranged in the vertical direction, and first notches 34a, 34a are formed forward of the above-mentioned second notches 34b, 35b.

[0040] Compared to the lower cross member 13 shown in Figure 2, the lower cross member 13 in this embodiment is positioned so that it does not overlap in the front-to-back direction in a plan view, and therefore the first notches 34a, 35a in which the lower cross member 13 is placed can be formed in a position on the vertical plate portions 31, 32 that is different from the second notches 34b, 35b.However, since the fence post 40 is positioned relatively further forward than that shown in Figure 2, the lower mounting member 30 fixed to the fence post 40 is also positioned relatively further forward, and when a common lower mounting member 30 is used, the rear sides of the first notches 34a, 35a partially overlap with the front sides of the second notches 34b, 35b.

[0041] 2 is fixed by abutting the edges of the second notches 34b, 35b from the top to the front. However, if the first notches 34a, 35a and the second notches 34b, 35b were the same height, the edges of the second notches 34b, 35b from the top to the front would not be long enough. Therefore, in this embodiment, the upper ends of the second notches 34b, 35b are positioned higher than the upper ends of the first notches 34a, 35a. As a result, the edges of the first notches 34a, 35a and the second notches 34b, 35b from the top to the front are formed in a stepped shape, making it possible to form edges to which the lower cross member can be fixed to the second notches 34b, 35b.

[0042] The connecting plate 33 also has a screw hole 33a formed at a position corresponding to the second notches 34b and 35b, and a screw hole 33b formed below the screw hole 33a at a position corresponding to the first notches 34a and 35a. A bolt member 64 is screwed into the screw hole 33b toward the lower cross member 13, and the tip of the bolt abuts against the front edge of the first notches 34a and 35a to fix the lower cross member 13.

[0043] This makes it possible to firmly fix the lower mounting member 30 to the lower cross member 13 by using a common lower mounting member 30, whether the lower cross member 13 is arranged in the same plane as the fence post 11 or whether it is arranged in front of the fence post 11.

[0044] Figure 15 is a side view showing a third embodiment of a fence 100 according to the present invention, Figure 16 is an enlarged side view of the vicinity of the lower mounting member 30 of Figure 15, and Figure 17 is a cross-sectional view taken along line FF of Figure 16. The fence 100 according to this embodiment differs from the fence 100 shown in Figures 1 to 8 in that the position of the lower cross-member 13 is arranged behind the fence post 11, and as a result, the fixing position of the lower cross-member 13 in the lower mounting member 30 is different. Therefore, the following description will focus on the differences from the fence 100 shown in Figures 1 to 8, and other components that are the same as those already described will be given the same reference numerals and will not be described again.

[0045] In the fence 100 of this embodiment, the lower cross member 13 is positioned behind the fence post 11, and the fence post 40 can be fixed to the upper cross member 12 as shown in Figure 15 using the upper mounting member 20 shown in Figure 2, so a description of the upper mounting member 20 in this embodiment will be omitted.

[0046] In the lower mounting member 30, the vertical plate portions 31, 32 have third notches 34c, 35c formed rearward of the second notches 34b, 35b in a position where the lower cross member 13 can be positioned when the fence post 40 is fixed to the upper cross member 12 via the upper mounting member 20 in this embodiment and the fence post 40 is positioned in the vertical direction.

[0047] Since the lower cross member 13 in this embodiment is positioned so as not to overlap in the front-to-back direction with the lower cross member 13 shown in Figure 2, the third notches 34c, 35c in which the lower cross member 13 is placed can be formed on the rear side different from the second notches 34b, 35b, and the third notches 34c, 35c can be formed without overlapping with the second notches 34b, 35b.

[0048] The upper ends of the third notches 34c and 35c are formed to be aligned with the height positions of the upper ends of the first notches 34a and 35a. Bolt members 61 are screwed into the screw holes 33b toward the lower cross member 13, and the tips of the bolts abut against the edges of the third notches 34c and 35c to fix the lower cross member 13.

[0049] This makes it possible to firmly fix the lower mounting member 30 to the lower cross member 13 by using a common lower mounting member 30, whether the lower cross member 13 is positioned in the same plane as the fence post 11 or whether it is positioned in front of or behind the fence post 11.

[0050] Here, in the description of the fence 100 according to the present invention, the side to which the fence post 40 is fixed to the fence 10 is the front side, but the front-to-rear direction is a relative position. In other words, when the fence post 40 is fixed to the rear side of the fence 10 shown in the first embodiment, the configuration is substantially the same as that of the third embodiment.

[0051] The fence 100 of the present invention comprises a fence 10 having fence posts 11 erected on an installation surface and spaced apart on the left and right, upper cross members 12 erected on top of the fence posts 11, and lower cross members 13 erected below the upper cross members 12 either in front of or behind the fence posts 11 or on the same plane as the fence posts 11, upper mounting members 20 attached to the upper cross members 12, lower mounting members 30 attached to the lower cross members 13, fence posts 40 fixed to the upper mounting members 20 and lower mounting members 30 and arranged in the vertical direction, and a fence body 50 fixed to the fence posts 40, The lower mounting member 30 has a pair of vertical plate sections 31, 32 fixed to both the left and right sides with the fence post 40 in between, and the vertical plate section 31 has cutout sections 34, 35 formed upward from its lower end, in which the lower cross member 13 can be placed, and the cutout sections 34, 35 are characterized in that they have first cutouts 34a, 35a in which the lower cross member 13 is placed when the lower cross member 13 is placed in front of the fence post 11, and second cutouts 34b, 35b and third cutouts 34c, 35c in which the lower cross member 13 is placed when the lower cross member 13 is placed in the same plane as the fence post 11 or is placed behind the fence post 11, at different positions corresponding to the installation position of the lower cross member 13.

[0052] This makes it possible to firmly fix the lower cross member 13 to the lower cross member 13 by using a common lower mounting member 30, whether the lower cross member 13 of the fence 10 is positioned in the same plane as the fence post 11 or whether it is positioned in front of or behind the fence post 11.

[0053] In the fence 100 of the present invention, the vertical plate portions 31, 32 of the lower mounting member 30 and the fence post 40 each have through holes 31a, 32a, 44, 45 that penetrate in the left-right direction, and the vertical plate portion 31 is fixed to the fence post 40 via bolt members 63 inserted into the through holes 31a, 32a, 44, 45, and the through holes 44, 45 of the fence post 40 may be elongated holes that are long in the vertical direction.

[0054] This allows the height position of the lower mounting member 30 relative to the fence post 40 to be changed as desired, making it easy to adjust the height position of the lower mounting member 30 according to the height of the lower cross member 13. [Industrial Applicability]

[0055] According to the present invention, a fence body can be attached to a fence via fence posts fixed to the fence, so that the fence body can be attached via fence posts not only when a new fence is being constructed, but also to an existing fence. [Explanation of symbols]
