Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to a pergola, more particularly to a pergola that is convenient to transport and store.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- A pergola used in a garden is usually made from wood or cement, and needs a lot of manpower and mechanical equipments during construction thereof. To solve this problem, a pergola which can be assembled by a consumer and which is constituted by a plurality of posts and a plurality of rafters formed by plastics molding techniques has been proposed. However, the posts and rafters formed by molding plastics have a poor resistance to weather changes, and the rafters have a relatively long length, which has an adverse effect on transport and storage.
- Therefore, there is a need in the art to provide a pergola that has a high resistance to weather changes and that is convenient to transport and store.
- Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a pergola that can overcome the aforesaid drawbacks associated with the prior art.
- According to this invention, a pergola includes: a plurality of posts; two opposite tie beams supported on the posts; and a plurality of rafters spaced apart from each other and supported on the tie beams. Each of the rafters includes a first segment, a second segment, and a connecting unit interconnecting the first segment and the second segment. The connecting unit includes a first end cap and a second end cap. The first end cap is secured in the first segment and is formed with a retaining hole. The second end cap is secured in the second segment and is formed with a protrusion which engages releasably the retaining hole in the first end cap.
- Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of this invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the first preferred embodiment of a pergola according to this invention; -
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary exploded perspective view to illustrate the structure of a rafter of the first preferred embodiment; -
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary assembled partly sectional view of the rafter of the first preferred embodiment; -
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary assembled perspective view to illustrate the structure of a rafter of the second preferred embodiment of a pergola according to this invention; and -
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary exploded perspective view of the rafter of the second preferred embodiment. - Before the present invention is described in greater detail with reference to the accompanying preferred embodiments, it should be noted herein that like elements are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the disclosure.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , the first preferred embodiment of a pergola according to the present invention is shown to include four posts 2 (one of which is not visible in this figure because of the viewing direction), twoopposite tie beams 4 supported on theposts 2; and a plurality ofrafters 3 spaced apart from each other and supported on thetie beams 4. -
FIG. 2 shows the structure of one of therafters 3 of the first preferred embodiment. Therafter 3 includes afirst segment 31, asecond segment 32, and a first connectingunit 33 interconnecting thefirst segment 31 and thesecond segment 32. Each of thefirst segment 31 and thesecond segment 32 of therafter 3 is in the form of a hollow metal column having anopen end open ends end face unit 33 includes afirst end cap 312 and asecond end cap 322. Thefirst end cap 312 has anend face 313 formed with tworetaining holes 316, and is fittingly received in theopen end 311 of the hollow metal column of thefirst segment 31 such that theend face 313 of thefirst end cap 312 is flush with theend face 3111 of the hollow metal column of thefirst segment 31. Thesecond end cap 322 has anend face 323 formed with twoprotrusions 326 which engage releasably the retainingholes 316 in theend face 313 of thefirst end cap 312, and is fittingly received in theopen end 321 of the hollow metal column of thesecond segment 32 such that theend face 323 of thesecond end cap 322 is flush with theend face 3211 of the hollow metal column of thesecond segment 32. - Each of the
protrusions 326 on theend face 323 of thesecond end cap 322 of the first connectingunit 33 has ahead portion 328 with a first diameter and arod portion 327 with a second diameter smaller than the first diameter of thehead portion 328. Each of theretaining holes 316 in theend face 313 of thefirst end cap 312 of the first connectingunit 33 has afirst section 317 with a diameter larger than the first diameter of thehead portion 328 of theprotrusion 326, and asecond section 318 extending from thefirst section 317 and having a diameter smaller than the first diameter of thehead portion 328 of each of theprotrusions 326 and larger than the second diameter of therod portion 327 of each of theprotrusions 326. Each of thefirst segment 31 and thesecond segment 32 of each of therafters 3 has anotch tie beams 4 thereinto. Preferably, each of therafters 3 further includes afirst sleeve 34. - During disassembly, the
first end cap 312 is disengaged from thesecond end cap 322 so as to separate thefirst segment 31 from thesecond segment 32, thereby resulting in a decrease in the length of each of therafters 3. - During assembly, as shown in
FIG. 3 , each of theprotrusions 326 of thesecond end cap 322 of the first connectingunit 33 is inserted into thefirst section 317 and then moved to thesecond section 318 of the respective one of theretaining holes 316 in thefirst end cap 312 of the first connectingunit 33 so as to connect thefirst segment 31 with thesecond segment 32. Thefirst sleeve 34 is sleeved on a selected one of thefirst segment 31 and the second segment 32 (provided on thesecond segment 32 in this embodiment) before interconnecting thefirst segment 31 and thesecond segment 32, is moved to a position where the first connectingunit 33 is located, and is fastened to thefirst segment 31 and thesecond segment 32 using screws, thereby enhancing the connecting strength between thefirst end cap 312 and thesecond end cap 322. -
FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate the second preferred embodiment of the pergola according to this invention. In this preferred embodiment, each of therafters 3 includes afirst segment 31, asecond segment 32, athird segment 35, a first connectingunit 33 interconnecting thefirst segment 31 and thesecond segment 32 and having afirst end cap 312 and asecond end cap 322, a second connectingunit 33′ interconnecting thefirst segment 31 and thethird segment 35 and having athird end cap 312′ and afourth end cap 322′, afirst sleeve 34 sleeved on a respective one of therafters 3 at a position where the first connectingunit 33 is located, and asecond sleeve 34′ sleeved on a respective one of therafters 3 at a position where the second connectingunit 33′ is located. Each of thesecond segment 32 and thethird segment 35 has anotch tie beams 4 thereinto. Each of the first, second, andthird segments rafters 3 is in the form of a hollow metal column. The hollow metal column of thefirst segment 31 has two oppositeopen ends second segment 32 and thethird segment 35 has anopen end third end caps open ends first segment 31. Thesecond end cap 322 is fittingly received in theopen end 321 of the hollow metal column of thesecond segment 32, and thefourth end cap 322′ is fittingly received in theopen end 351 of the hollow metal column of thethird segment 35. In this embodiment, the structures of the first, second, andthird segments connecting units sleeves - It should be noted here that the manner of connecting the first, second, and third segments should not be limited to the preferred embodiments, and can be varied as long as the connecting object is achieved. For example, threading connection can be used in this invention.
- Since each of the
rafters 3 is divided into at least two segments in the preferred embodiments, transport and storage of the pergola is relatively convenient. Moreover, therafters 3 are made from a metal material and have superior resistance to weather changes over those made from a plastics material. - While the present invention has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation and equivalent arrangements.
