Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an edging member used for edging a flower bed.

When making a flower bed at home, etc., it is common practice to surround it with bricks, blocks, etc., but in this case, the bricks and blocks cannot be connected to each other, so there is a risk that the individual pieces may tilt or fall. However, there were some drawbacks such as giving an unsightly look.

Conventionally, these bricks, etc., have been fixed by burying them in the ground, but this requires work that covers the entire perimeter of the flower bed, which is not only extremely troublesome, but also causes poor drainage of the flower bed. In addition, especially when bricks were used, their dimensions were standardized and small, so if they were buried, they would only protrude slightly from the ground, making it inconvenient for them to be used as a edging member.

In order to solve these conventional problems, the present invention makes it possible to connect the edging members to each other so that they can be held together so that the individual parts do not tilt, topple over, or become separated without having to be buried in the ground. This configuration will be explained below based on an illustrated embodiment.

First, as shown in FIG. 1, the edging member according to the present invention can be molded from cement, plastic, metal, etc., and in particular, the edging member shown in the figure has side walls 1, 2, and 3° 4 and a ceiling wall 5.
As a result, the planar shape is trapezoidal, a space g is provided inside, and the bottom is open to form a box shape.

These are the side walls 1, 2.3 as shown in FIG.
Alternatively, these side walls 1, 2, 3 can be brought into contact with each other without any gaps, and a connecting part consisting of bolts 6, nuts 1-7, etc. provided between adjacent spaces 292,
．． 4 are fixed to each other and several pieces are connected to each other, so in the case shown, the side walls 1, 2, 3.
bolt holes 8, 8.9, for inserting the bolt 6 into the
9.10°10.11. li is drilled.

To border a flower bed using this edging member, as shown in FIG. 2, bolt holes 8, 8.9, 9.10.10 or 11. 11 through holes 1 to 6 and nuts 7 (wing nuts are used in the illustrated case).

) to form a composition in which several pieces are connected to each other.In this case, if side walls 1 and 1 and 3 and 3 are connected to each other as shown in the same figure, it is possible to form a substantially linear composition. Furthermore, by connecting the side walls 1 and 3 as shown in FIG. 3, it is also possible to form a curved composition.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, by preparing two or more linear or curved compositions and stacking and fixing them in the longitudinal direction, it is possible to create a wide border for the flower bed.

Furthermore, in FIG. 4, when connecting the side walls 1 and 3, a wedge-shaped adjustment member 12 is interposed between them, and by interposing the member 12, the edging member is can be bent and connected at an even steeper angle, and this angle can be adjusted by the apex angle α of the adjusting member 12.

Further, this edging member can be connected as described above and used as it is, but it is also possible to fit a joint member 13 as shown in FIG. 6 or a lid 15 as shown in FIG. 7 into the opening on the bottom surface. It can also be used while wearing it.

That is, the connecting leg member 13 shown in FIG. 6 is used when the height is not sufficient with the edging member alone, and like the edging member, it is formed into a box shape with a trapezoidal planar shape, and this upper surface By fitting the fitting portion 14 protruding from the bottom of the edging member into the inside thereof, the bottom surface of the edging member is closed and its height is compensated for.

The lid 15 shown in FIG. 7 is molded to have the same planar shape as the edging member, and a leaf spring-like fitting portion 16. The bottom surface of the edging member is closed by pressing against the inner surface, and reference numeral 17 in the figure is an insertion opening for inserting a finger or the like used when removing the lid 15 from the edging member.

As explained above, this invention has a flat surface, a bottom surface, a front surface and a rear surface,
A edging member having a polyhedral structure having left and right sides is constructed, a plurality of these edging members are arranged adjacent to each other, and each adjacent portion is maintained in a state without a gap,
A flower bed edging member in which each edging member is connected to each other by a bolt or nut for tightly connecting each adjacent part, or by a pair of connecting fitting structures formed on mutually opposing surfaces between each adjacent part. In the above, the edging member has a trapezoidal planar shape, and the edging member is box-shaped and has a ceiling wall for the flat surface, side walls for the front and rear surfaces, and side walls for both the left and right sides, and the bottom surface thereof is open. They have a hollow space inside, so if you connect them together, you won't have to go through the troublesome work of burying and fixing them in the ground like you would with bricks or blocks. A good appearance can always be maintained without falling over or falling apart, and the drainage of the flower bed is also extremely good since there is no need to bury it.

Furthermore, in this invention, since the shape of the edging member is trapezoidal,
The border of the flower bed can be formed in various shapes as required, such as straight, curved, or wide, without any gaps, making it possible to freely border the flower bed, and creating a space inside the same member. In addition, since it is box-shaped with an open bottom, the edging member can be made lightweight and convenient for transportation, etc. Also, on the bottom with a small ground contact area, the ground contact pressure increases, so the bottom can be easily moved into the soil. It is possible to stabilize the edging member by digging into the space, and it is also possible to store dry grass and gravel in the space to hide it, and each edging member is firmly secured when the specified side walls are brought into contact with each other without any gaps. In particular, if appearance is important, such requirements can be satisfied by inserting bolts and nuts from within the space.

Further, since the bottom of the edging member is open, the height can be adjusted by connecting a connecting leg member to the lower end if necessary.
