Abstract: A bundling tool includes first and second bundling members in plate like shapes. The first and second bundling members respectively include central parts that cover wires, first locking parts that are bendable and extend from first sides of the central parts, and second locking parts that are bendable and extend from second sides of the central parts. When the first and second bundling members clamp the wires therebetween and are to be crimped, the first and second locking parts of the first bundling member are each folded down to abut on an outer surface of the second bundling member at an end part of the locking part, and the first and second locking parts of the second bundling member are each folded down to abut on an outer surface of the first bundling member at an end part of the locking part, thereby crimping the wires.

Abstract: A support post structure includes: a ground plate mounted on a support post anchor driven into the ground or a concrete base; a support post; a universal joint for tiltably supporting a lower end of the post; a lower support plate placed on an upper end of the post; a spring; an upper support plate; a bolt inserted through the lower support plate, the spring, and the upper support plate; a nut threaded into the bolt; and a rope hanging between a mooring part of the bolt and a predetermined position near the lower end of the post. The support post is brought to a standing state when the rope is tightened by the nut and is tiltable in all directions when a guard fence receives a falling rock or the like, autonomously restoring to the initial standing state when the rock is removed.

Abstract: There is provided a guard surface structure excellent in shock-absorbing effect due to an unprecedented structure formed by combining a deformable supporting surface and shock-absorbing members. A guard surface structure comprises a net body 4 supported by support posts 3, such net body 4 comprising a wire mesh 11, and being deformable and provided with shock-absorbing bags 21 filled with sands. By combining the deformable net body 4 and the shock-absorbing bags 21, a force of impact due to rockfall or the like can be effectively absorbed due to deformation behaviors of the shock-absorbing bags 21 and the net body 4. In this case, sands inside the shock-absorbing bags 21 are caused to move when subjected to the force of impact, thereby allowing the shock-absorbing bags 21 to deform and thus absorb the force of impact. Further, the net body 4 deforms after the force of impact has been first applied to the shock-absorbing bags 21, thus allowing the net body 4 to deform less.

Abstract: A shock-absorbing fence comprises: a guard net provided in a stretched state between main posts provided to stand at a predetermined interval; a safety net attached between a skirt of the guard net and a ground; and a member joining an upper rim of the safety net to the skirt of the guard net as well as securing a lower rim of the safety net to the ground, the member including a horizontal support rope member provided along the lower rim of the safety net and a plurality of hillside support rope members connecting between a plurality of points of the horizontal support rope member and a plurality of hillside anchors, the safety net being allowed to deform in an extended manner following deflection and deformation of the guard net, while maintaining a gap below the guard net in a closed state, in case of rockfall.
