Railing and method of assembling it

The invention relates to a railing, vie guardrail, especially for balconies or fences »with a few vertical stiffening posts, one in the lower one Fixed area of these posts, roughly horizontal lower and one in the upper area of the same fastened just such an upper crossbar, one on the latter attached handrail, as well as balusters, each on the one hand on the lower and on the other hand on the upper Cross bar are attached, so as to a method for Putting this railing together.

The known railings can essentially be divided into two groups; the railings of one group are fully assembled in the factory and transported to the construction site in this condition to be built in place; those of the other group become the construction site in the form of individual elements delivered and only assembled on site.

These conventional railings have a common disadvantage, which is mainly due to the difficulties encountered during installation. In practice, because of their structure, these railings are put in place after their elements have been assembled along their entire length, regardless of whether the assembly has already been carried out at the factory, as is the case with the first group, or whether it is , as in the case of the second group, on the spot, on a horizontal surface near the installation site. The correct installation as well as the fastening of such a pre-assembled railing along its entire length prove to be practically difficult to carry out and require a considerable outlay on personnel, in particular if railings of considerable length are to be installed.

In addition, the railings of the first group, that is, those that are assembled in the factory verden, difficult to handle and, due to their bulkiness, entail increased transport costs.

The invention is based on the object of eliminating these disadvantages and creating a railing of the type mentioned to create that belongs to the second group mentioned and with low personnel expenditure, which is limited to two workers verden, easy to install or. is to be put together.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the upper transverse strip is at the level of each railing rod a cutout that opens on one side of the bar and the upper part of the respective terrain

30982 ^ / 0332

which takes up the bar, with the one on the upper cross bar attached handrail had an inward protrusion owns, which covers the cutouts of the bar and the Holding balusters in them.

furthermore, this object according to the invention is provided by a Process solved, the following process steps comprises.

a) Fixing the stiffening posts each in their places in a vertical position;

b) Attaching a lower cross bar in the lower area of the stiffening posts}

c) Attaching an upper transverse strip with cutouts open to one side to the upper ends of the stiffening posts;

d) Inserting each baluster in place by attaching its lower end to the attached lower cross bar and its upper end in the cutouts of the upper cross bar introduced vird;

e) Attaching a handrail to the upper transverse strip, this handrail one inwards protruding projection for covering the cutouts of the transverse strip and for holding the railing rods in the same so that the railing rods are firmly connected to the whole.

The railing is therefore according to the invention element by element built in without the need for pre-assembly prior to casting or anchoring ·. That way are the individual parts of the railing, regardless of that

309824/0332

Length, easy to use one after the other, with this in Compared to the personnel costs involved in installing and anchoring a pre-assembled railing in its entire length is required, only a very small number of workers is required.

The invention is described in more detail below with reference to the schematic drawing, for example it showι

Fig. 1 is a perspective partial view of a railing according to the invention during the Montagef

rig. 2 shows a section through the railing according to a vertical one running between two railing rods Levelι

Fig. 3 shows a section similar to that of Fig. 2 in a further embodiment according to the invention of the railing

Fig. 4 is a partially! sectional partial view of a upper cross bar, which receives a handrail in one of its cutouts.

The railing shown for example in Figures 1 and 2 has stiffening posts 1, which are used as the first Kiemente in place; These posts can be solid, tubular or reinforced with steel insoles. Rubbing them into place can owned by previously e by directly pouring into a base slab or hast run ι done egossenor ing plates but they can also aui, wandered any similar manner, particularly by means of anchors us * are ifestgemacht.

309824/0332

the railing also has a lower cross bar 2 » which is mounted after the anchoring of the stiffening post 1 vird. In the present example, this lower cross bar consists of a profile bar with internal flanges 3, 4 its bottom! at the height of the stiffening posts it has slots that allow it to be assembled by inserting the top of the posts into these slots and the lower cross bar is then pushed down along these posts until it rests on bolt 5 »velche am Stiffening posts for holding the crossbar 2 are attached. In addition, the lower cross bar 2 has on her Upper surface openings 6, the shape of which corresponds to the profile of the QelUnderstube 7 to be used »

After the lower cross bar with the stiffening posts has been connected »an upper transverse strip 8 is attached to the the upper ends of these posts are fastened in any way, in particular, however, by means of Gevindeboizen 9, whereby these Bolts are screwed into the threaded holes provided at the upper end of the stiffening posts · The upper Cross bar θ veist cutouts 10 on one side are open and arranged in such a way that they correspond to the openings 6 of the lower cross bar »

Then each baluster 7 is attached individually between the lower and the upper transverse bar by first its lower end is inserted into an opening 6 in the lower transverse strip 2 and then its upper end (in the direction of arrow f in FIG. 1) into the corresponding cutout 10 of the upper cross bar 8 is used.

As can be seen from FIG. 2, the lower end of the railing rods rests on the inner flanges 3 and 4 of the lower transverse bar, while the upper end of the same rests on an attachment.

309324/0332

sata 11, which for this purpose is attached to the top Cross bar is provided. When all country rods 7 in this way «are inserted, a handrail 11 with one to cover the cutouts 10 inside The protruding projection 13 is pressed onto the upper transverse strip 8 in a conventional manner Fastening screws, nuts, pins etcj thereby digestion avoids loss of time that would otherwise occur when applying the usual handrail due to the occasional lack of it νυη accessories occur.

Each baluster can also have an incision 14 at the level of its upper part, which penetrates into the cut-outs 10 "" SoIl ₁ "into which an edge of the corresponding cutout enters with little play" The arrangement enables an improvement in the stability of the baluster, especially if the handrail 12 has not yet been applied. 4 shows a partial section according to a horizontal plane running vertically in an incision through a handrail which is located in the cutout of a transverse bar, which is not cut for better understanding and the edge of which is in the mentioned incision 14 of the railing tab.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, each handrail is provided at its upper end with a removable plastic cap 15 which acoustically isolates it from reading the handrail structure and restricts the propagation of vibrations along the latter. On the same "Veis" every baluster can have a "removable cap" 16 at its lower end, which serves a purpose analogous to the cap 15;

Of course, the balusters can be of any Be form; the openings 6 and the cutouts 10 are adapted to the selected shape in each case * Likewise the profile shape of the lower and upper crossbars and the handrail can be different from the training shown because the invention can be used with all moldings and handrails.
