DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The grid of the embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings, using an example of a deck fence installed on a deck located outside a building. In the following explanation, the left-right direction when looking at the deck fence from the building side (inside) is referred to as the "face direction," the side closer to the center of the deck fence in the face direction is referred to as the inner periphery side, and the opposite side is referred to as the outer periphery side. The inward-outward direction of the deck fence is referred to as the "face direction" or width direction, with the inside of the deck fence referred to as the "inside" and the outside as the "outside."

[0010] (Overall structure of the deck fence) As shown in Fig. 1, the deck fence of this embodiment has a plurality of (two) posts 1, 1, a coping 2 supported across the upper ends of the posts 1, 1, and a plurality of (four) lattices 3 supported horizontally between the posts 1, 1. Note that the number of posts and lattices is not limited.

[0011] The support pillar 1 is made of a metal material such as aluminum alloy, and is a long hollow member having a rectangular cross section. As shown in FIG. 6(a), the support 1 of this embodiment has a hollow shape with a substantially square cross section, and two attachment grooves 1a, 1a are formed on each side along the longitudinal direction (vertical direction).

[0012] The coping board 2 is made of a metal material such as aluminum alloy, and is a long, hollow member with a rectangular cross section. It is placed on the upper surfaces of the supports 1, 1 and fixed to the support 1 by support joints 22. Resin end caps 2a are attached to both end surfaces of the coping board 2.

[0013] The lattice 3 is made of a metal material such as an aluminum alloy, and is a long member with a flat hollow cross section, and is attached between the side surfaces of the supports 1,1. In the deck fence of this embodiment, lattices 3, 3 are attached to posts 1, 1 via attachments 7. The structure for attaching the lattice 3 using the attachment 7 will be described in more detail below.

[0014] (Installation of the grid) As shown in Figure 2, the lattice 3 has an inner wall 3a, an outer wall 3b, an upper wall 3c, and a bottom wall 3d, and is a long member with a rectangular hollow cross section that is long in the vertical direction and short in the prospective direction.It has a partition wall 3e near the center in the vertical direction that separates the hollow section, and a tapping hole 3f is provided in the partition wall 3e.

[0015] The attachment 7 is made of a metal material such as an aluminum alloy, and is a long, flat member with multiple lattices 3 attached to one side (the inner surface), and the other side (the outer surface) is positioned and fixed to the inner surface of the support 1, making it an attachment auxiliary material that can attach multiple lattices 3 to the support 1. The upper and lower ends of the abutment 7 fixed to the support 1 are covered by an upper abutment cap 71 and a lower abutment cap 72 .

[0016] As shown in Figure 3, the attachment piece 7 has a flat mounting portion 7a on the outer side in the width direction, a lattice mounting portion 7b that is continuous with the inner side of the mounting portion 7a in the width direction and protrudes in the inner circumferential direction, and inner and outer locking ribs 7c, 7d that extend in the outer circumferential direction from both ends in the width direction.

[0017] The attachment piece 7 has screw holes 7e formed at appropriate positions in the vertical direction of the mounting portion 7a to fix the attachment piece 7 to the support 1, and screw holes 7f formed at positions corresponding to the positions where the lattice 3 is attached to the lattice mounting portion 7b.

[0018] The attachment piece 7 has inner and outer positioning ribs 7g, 7h on the inner periphery of the grid mounting portion 7b, and a recess 7i on the outer periphery. By abutting the end face of the grid 3 against the grid mounting portion 7b of the attachment piece 7 and fastening it from the outer periphery with a single screw (fixing means) b2, the grid 3 can be fixed perpendicular to the attachment piece 7, and the screw head of the screw b2 can be accommodated in the recess 7i. The attachment piece 7 has an attachment hole (engaged portion) 7j formed at the upper end of the grid attachment portion 7b for attaching the attachment piece upper cap 71.

[0019] The pin upper cap 71 that covers the upper end surface of the pin 7 is made of a resin material, and as shown in Figures 3(a) and 4(a)(b)(c), it has a cover portion 71a that has a planar shape similar to the shape of the upper end surface of the pin 7 and is formed thick on both the top and bottom, an attachment piece portion 71b that extends downward from the inner underside of the cover portion 71a in the width direction, and an attachment protrusion (engagement portion) 71c that protrudes from one surface (inner peripheral side surface) of the attachment piece portion 71b.

[0020] The cover portion 71a of the basin upper cap 71 is formed so that the inner side in the width direction protrudes toward the inner circumference, similar to the shape of the upper end surface of the basin 7, and a recess 71d is provided on the underside of the protruding part of the cover portion 71a, with the bottom and inner circumference opening to correspond to the shape of the lattice mounting portion 7b of the basin 7 and the inner and outer positioning ribs 7g, 7h.

[0021] The lower cap 72 of the attachment piece that covers the lower end surface of the attachment piece 7 is made of a resin material, and as shown in Figures 3(a) and 4(d), (e), and (f), has a mounting portion 72a with an outer peripheral shape similar to the shape of the lower end surface of the attachment piece 7, a lattice mounting portion 72b that extends inward (away from the support pillar) from the inner underside of the mounting portion 72a in the width direction, and inner and outer locking ribs 72c and 72d that protrude outward (toward the support pillar) from both ends of the mounting portion 72a in the width direction.

[0022] The lower cap 72 has a visible wall portion 72e erected on the outside of the lattice mounting portion 72b, and a screw hole 72f into which a screw (fixing means) b3 is attached is provided in the mounting portion 72a above the lattice mounting portion 72b.

[0023] (Attaching to lattice posts) The following describes the procedure for attaching the plurality of lattices 3, 3 to the posts 1 using the attachments 7 in constructing the deck fence of this embodiment. First, the fence panel P is created by attaching the pin upper cap 71 and the lattice 3 to the pin 7. As shown in Figure 3(a), the upper cap 71 of the attachment piece can be attached by bringing the attachment piece portion 71b close to the outer periphery of the lattice attachment portion 7b at the upper end position of the attachment piece 7 and inserting the attachment protrusion 71c into the attachment hole 7j of the attachment piece 7.

[0024] As shown in Figures 5(a) and (c), the attachment piece portion 71b of the attachment upper cap 71 attached to the attachment piece 7 fits into the recess 7i on the outer periphery of the attachment piece 7, so that it does not protrude outward from the outer periphery of the attachment piece 7. The upper cap 71 attached to the pin 7 covers the upper end surface of the pin 7 with the cover portion 71a, and the inner surface of the lattice mounting portion 7b of the pin 7 is continuous with the inner surface of the recess 71d, covering the upper corner of the uppermost lattice 3 attached to the pin 7.

[0025] The lattice 3 can be attached by abutting its left and right end faces against the inner peripheral side of the lattice mounting portion 7b of the attachment 7 and screwing the screw b2 into the tapping hole 3f from the outer peripheral side through the screw hole 7f. The head of the screw b2 screwed into the tapping hole 3f is housed in the recess 7i of the pin 7 as shown in FIGS. 5(b) and 5(c), and does not protrude from the outer circumferential surface of the pin 7. A fence panel P is formed by attaching the attachments 7, 7 across both the left and right ends of the multiple lattices 3, 3.

[0026] Next, the lower cap 72 of the attachment is attached to the support 1. As shown in Figures 6(a) and (b), the lower cap 72 is positioned at the lower end of the attachment position of the attachment 7 on the attachment surface (inner surface) of the support 1, with the locking ribs 72c and 72d fitted into the attachment grooves 1a and 1a, and is fixed to the support 1 by screwing the screw b3 into the support 1 from the inner side through the screw hole 72f.

[0027] After the lower caps 72, 72 are fixed to the posts 1, 1, the fence panel P is placed between the posts 1, 1. When placing the fence panel P between the posts 1, 1, the lower outer peripheral portion of the fence panel P (lattice 3) can be abutted from the inside against the visible wall portion 72e provided on the outside of the lattice mounting portion 72b of the lower cap 72, thereby allowing the fence panel P to be placed in a predetermined position between the posts 1, 1.

[0028] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the fence panel P arranged between the posts 1, 1 is positioned in the vertical direction by being placed on the upper surfaces of the mounting portions 72a, 72a of the lower caps 72, 72 of the pins, and the locking ribs 7c, 7d protruding from the outer surfaces of the pins 7, 7 fit into the pin mounting grooves 1a, 1a of the post 1, positioning the panel in the installation position.

[0029] The fence panel P positioned relative to the posts 1,1 is fixed to the posts 1,1 by screwing a screw (fixing means) b1 into the post 1 from the inner side of the attachment 7 through the screw hole 7e of the mounting portion 7a, thereby completing the installation.

[0030] (Effects of the deck fence of this embodiment) The deck fence of this embodiment has multiple lattices 3, 3 attached to the posts 1 by means of lattices, and an upper lattice cap 71 is provided at the upper end of the lattice 7 and a lower lattice cap 72 is provided at the lower end, so that the upper and lower end surfaces of the lattice are not exposed, providing excellent safety and design.

[0031] In the deck fence of this embodiment, a recess 71i is formed in the base upper cap 71 to cover the upper corner of the lattice 3 so as to be continuous with the lattice mounting portion 7b of the base 7, and the mounting portion of the lattice 3 fixed to the base 7 can be covered with the resin base upper cap 71, which can seal gaps to prevent the intrusion of dirt and the like, while also providing excellent design.

[0032] The deck fence of this embodiment can support the lower end of the attachment 7 by the attachment lower cap 72 fixed to the support 1, so that it can bear the load of the fence panel P when placing it between the supports 1, 1, and can also easily be positioned in the vertical direction relative to the support, making it easy to install.

[0033] The deck fence of this embodiment has a lattice mounting portion 72b provided on the lower cap 72, and a visible wall portion 72e provided on the outside of the lattice mounting portion 72b, making it easy to position the fence panel P in the visible direction.In addition, the fence panel P arranged between the posts 1, 1 can cover the attachment portion of the lower cap 72 to the posts 1, 1, providing a deck fence with excellent workability, weather resistance and design.

[0034] It goes without saying that the above embodiments do not limit the invention described in the claims, but are treated as examples. [Explanation of symbols]
