Description

The present invention relates to a fence connecting member that connects mesh-shaped fences that are continuously installed along columns erected at predetermined intervals with a predetermined gap.

Conventionally, when a fence in which a plurality of vertical lines and a plurality of horizontal lines are joined in a mesh shape is continuously installed along a support column, two metal fittings are used to attach the ends of adjacent fences from the front side and the back side, respectively. The fences are connected to each other by sandwiching and tightening the metal fittings with screws.
However, the method of tightening the metal fittings with a plurality of screws has extremely poor workability and the metal fittings become large and costly. Therefore, tightening with one screw improves the workability and reduces the cost. A method has been tried. However, this method has a problem that it cannot prevent the metal fittings from falling off when a load is applied.
Therefore, by providing a pair of claw pieces that bite into the bases of the first metal fitting and the second metal fitting in each of the first metal fitting and the second metal fitting, the fence can be firmly connected even with one screw. Moreover, a method has been proposed in which the fence can be maintained in a connected state even if the screw is loosened or dropped (Patent Document 1).
However, while it is relatively easy to align the fences with each other, it is difficult for one person to join the two metal fittings with one screw.
Therefore, the connecting members that connect the fences to each other are vertically connected by facing the front surface plate and the back surface plate and connecting them at a biased position by a bendable portion, and bending the unconnected tip side in a direction intersecting each other. While forming a piece, both sides of the front plate and the back plate are bent in opposite directions to form a horizontal piece, and each of the intersections of the horizontal and vertical stripes of the adjacent fence is bent toward one vertical stripe. Disclosed is a method of inserting a portion and the other vertical line side so that the tip side is located, crossing the tip sides with each other, and fastening the front plate and the back surface plate with screws to hold the horizontal line and the vertical line. (Patent Document 2). This method has the advantage that workability is improved because there is only one metal fitting, and that the surface plate can be attached from the same side regardless of which side of the fence the horizontal streaks are located.
Further, it is provided with a front plate in which both ends of the front wall surface are bent rearward, a back plate in which both ends of the rear wall surface are bent forward, and a connecting portion for connecting the upper ends of the front plate and the back plate. A method in which the vertical lines of each adjacent fence are sandwiched between the front plate and the back plate, while the horizontal lines are passed through the notches, and the front plate and the back plate are fastened with screws to connect the fences to each other. A connecting member using the above is also disclosed (Patent Document 3).
