DE29707298U1 - Fitting ground sleeve for a fence post - Google Patents

Abstract

On the head side of the angle parts is located a cover plate which has a through passage corresponding to the cross-section of the fence stake. The arms of the angle parts on the head side have central cut-outs. The longitudinal edges (9) of the cut-outs (8) are inclined against the axis of the ground spike in the direction of the point. They hold a conical tube section (10) to accommodate the fence stake. The tube section may be formed as a slotted tube with a welding seam (12) in the area of the slot (11). The fence stake has a circular cross-section and a groove together with a slot.

Ground socket for a fence post Description

The invention relates to a ground sleeve for a fence post, wherein the ground sleeve has angle parts that taper to a point on the base side and are welded together in apex lines, the legs of which have central cutouts on the head side, wherein a cover plate sitting on the head side of the angle parts has a passage that corresponds to the cross section of the fence post.

Such a ground socket has cutouts in the legs of the angle parts that extend from the apex line. The edges of the cutouts that run in the direction of insertion are inclined towards each other in the direction of insertion, so that the receiving section has a conical shape. The fence post is guided along the edges of the cutouts and is conically clamped and held in place.

If the fence post has a longitudinal slot or groove, a cut-out edge can enter the longitudinal slot or groove, so that clamping on all sides is excluded.

The object of the invention is to securely clamp a fence post that is flexible in the circumferential direction.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the longitudinal edges of the cutouts are inclined against the axis of the ground sleeve in the direction of the tip and that the longitudinal edges hold a conical pipe section for receiving the fence post.

The invention differs from the prior art in that the conical pipe section ensures secure bracing of a fence post with a closed or open cross-section. The fence post can be inserted into the pipe section in any circumferential orientation. This makes it easier to align fence posts.

A secure fit of the pipe section into the ground sleeve is achieved by designing the pipe section as a slotted pipe with a weld seam in the area of the slot.

A stable support on all sides is achieved by the fact that the fence post has a circular cross-section.

A fence post with a groove or slot is also held securely.

An example of implementation is explained using the drawings, which show:

Fig. 1 a shortened view of a ground sleeve with a schematic fence post, Fig. 2 a top view of the ground sleeve,

Fig. 3 a cross-section of a grooved fence post,

Fig. 4 shows a cross-section of a slotted fence post and Fig. 5 shows a cross-section of a fence post with a circular cross-section.

The ground sleeve 1 consists of two identical angle parts 2, each with two wing-like legs 3 that are aligned at right angles to one another and bent at a vertex line 4. The outer edges of the legs 3 taper towards one another so that the ground sleeve 1 as a whole has an arrow-shaped form. The angle parts 2 are connected to one another along the vertex line 4 by welds 5. A cover plate 6 with a circular passage 7 is welded onto the head end of the angle parts 2.

The upper end of each angle part 2 has a central cutout 8 in the middle area of each leg 3. The cutout edges 9 parallel to the apex line 4 are inclined towards the central axis, so that the cross section of the cutout tapers. The cutouts 8 thus delimit a conical recess.

A conical pipe section 10 is inserted into this conical recess. The pipe section 10 is expediently designed as a slotted pipe with a wedge-shaped slot 11, the edges of which are connected by welds 12. The pipe section 10 is pressed into the cutouts 8 and fixed by welds 13.

A fence post 14 with a circular cross-section according to Fig. 5 is driven into the pipe section 10 and tightened in the conical recess. According to Fig. 3, the fence post 14 can have a groove 15 for inserting wire holders. According to Fig. 4, the fence post 14 can also be designed as a pipe with a slot 16. In any case, a conical bracing of the fence post 14 in the pipe section 10 is achieved.
