Abstract

Self-supporting support stand / grid mat holder (hereinafter called holder) as a support point and fastener for mounting grid mats to fence posts. The holder is cast from a metal alloy / light metal alloy or is alternatively produced by injection molding of plastic.

Description

The utility model protection requested here describes the improvement of the mechanical attachment of grid mats (fence mats) to the fence posts. The idea diminishes dbzgl. Assembly times, improves assembly processes and reduces costs (fewer assembly parts).

1. 1. Die Halter werden vom Zaunsystemhersteller mit Blindnietmuttern (verzinkt oder Edelstahl) auf den Pfosten genietet. Hierfür werden bereits vorhandene Bohrungen im Pfosten genutzt. Bauseitig werden anschließend die Matten auf die Halter gesetzt, und mit Platten oder Schienen abgedeckt. Durch Schrauben werden die Platten oder Schienen im Halter befestigt und fixieren so die Matten auf dem Halter.
2. 2. Die Pfosten werden ohne Halter und Bohrungen zum Kunden geliefert. Bauseitig können die Halter, incl. Matten, Platten / Schienen, mit selbstschneidenden Schrauben oder mit Blechschrauben in noch vorzubohrende Löchern befestigt werden.
3. 3. Die Pfosten werden mit Bohrungen zum Kunden geliefert. Bauseitig werden die Halter in die Bohrungen gesetzt und incl. Matten, Platten / Schienen durch Schrauben im Pfosten befestigt. Die Halter haben hierbei eine haltende Funktion, ähnlich der von Dübeln.

In fence systems, the connection between the grid mats (hereinafter referred to as mats) and the fence posts (hereinafter called posts) by support blocks or grid mat holder (in the future called holder) produced. There are three different approaches to assembly:

1. 1. The holders are riveted to the posts by the fence system manufacturer using blind rivet nuts (galvanized or stainless steel). For this purpose, existing holes are used in the post. On site, the mats are then placed on the holder, and covered with plates or rails. By screws, the plates or rails are fixed in the holder and fix so the mats on the holder.
2. 2. The posts are delivered to the customer without holders and holes. On-site, the holders, including mats, plates / rails, with self-tapping screws or with self-tapping screws in holes to be pre-drilled to be fixed.
3. 3. The posts are delivered with holes to the customer. On site, the holders are placed in the holes and fixed. Mats, plates / rails by screws in the post. The holders have a holding function, similar to dowels.

Advantages of the "self-supporting support bracket / grid mat holder":

assembly processes

All holders to be mounted on site are mounted on vertical posts. All previously used holders are completely loose until screwing. They often fall out of the holes and can not be loaded with mats before screwing. As a result, more people are always necessary for the assembly.

The self-holding holders are inserted with the hook, approx. 20 °, into the opening provided in the fence post ( 1 ). The tipping ( 2 ) The holder in the existing post holes is done under light pressure and push up by hand and without tools. The holders are thus fixed and immediately have a stable position and can be loaded with mats ( 3 ). The fitter has thereby the hands free to fetch / take more fasteners and continue the assembly alone.

The factory riveting of holders can be completely eliminated.

assembly time

The self-holding holders can be set by hand within a few seconds, about 1-2 seconds per holder. The subsequent assembly times are much lower due to the immediate fixation of the holding in the post.

The factory riveting of holders can be completely eliminated.

costs

Both in the field installation, as well as in the factory assembly of the holder further components were previously required, which ensure the attachment and the functionality of the holder. The previous assembly of the holders and mats was cumbersome and time consuming. There were much higher costs on site and at the factory.

General:

The self-supporting support bracket / grid mat holder provides all the advantages of an expensive on-site installation in a low-cost on-site installation. The holder sits, hand-mounted, precise and can be loaded with mats immediately. The mounting of holders and mats is much faster and easier than before.

Through the introduced hole, centered in the holder, the subsequent attachment of mats can be done by means of screws.

In conjunction with continuous clamping rails, which are anchored over the entire post length with several self-retaining holders, a mounting of holders and mats to posts in the future is required completely without further mounting material.

Function and material:

The self-supporting support blocks / grid mat holder can be made of plastic or a metal alloy / light metal alloy. Both variants are produced by casting. Prerequisite for mounting on the post are corresponding holes in the post. The holders are tilted about 20 ° and inserted manually into the holes. Under slight pressure and push upwards, the holders hook completely into the post in a 90 ° position. Falling out is no longer possible, the holders are resilient. The shape of the holder on the mat side is not changed compared to current holders. It can therefore continue to attach a variety of types of grid mats to the holders.
