Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Zaun aus an Pfosten befestigbaren, großflächigen Zaunelementen, wobei jeder Pfosten im Boden befestigbar ist und zwei in seiner Längsrichtung verlaufende Klemmleisten aufweist, die durch mehrere Schraubenbolzen und Muttern miteinander verspannbar sind und zwischen denen Randabschnitte von an den Pfosten angrenzenden Zaunelementen gehalten sind.The invention relates to a fence made of large-area fence elements that can be fastened to posts, each post being fastened in the ground and having two terminal strips running in its longitudinal direction, which can be clamped together by means of several bolts and nuts and between which edge sections are held by fence elements adjacent to the posts .

Die Erfindung ist vor allem an Holzzäunen, insbesondere an Flechtzäunen, verwendbar, allerdings läßt sie sich auch an Zaunelementen sowie Pfosten aus anderem Material, beispielsweise aus Metall, verwirklichen.The invention can be used above all on wooden fences, in particular on wicker fences, but it can also be implemented on fence elements and posts made of other materials, for example of metal.

Bei einem bekannten Zaun der eingangs genannten Art (GB-A-965 117) besteht jeder Pfosten aus einer Metallstange, deren unteres Teil zur Befestigung im Boden durch einen im Boden eingelassenen Betonblock hindurchgeführt ist und dessen unteres Ende zum Aufschrauben einer Befestigungsmutter mit einem Gewinde versehen ist. Oberhalb des Betonblocks sind die beiden aus Holz bestehenden Klemmleisten mittels Schraubenbolzen und Muttern miteinander and der Metallstange verspannbar. In dem Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden Klemmleisten werden übereinander angeordnete Zaunelemente gehalten, die aus Zaunlatten oder auch aus wenigen relativ hohen tafelförmigen Elementen bestehen. Durch Anordnung von Zwischenpfosten lassen sich aus entsprechend biegsamen Zaunlatten auch ein Flechtwerk bildende Zaunfelder zwischen benachbarten Pfosten herstellen. Die vorgenannten Bauteile sind jeweils vorgefertigt, so daß sie eine verhältnismäßig einfache Montage des Zauns an Ort und Stelle zulassen.In a known fence of the type mentioned (GB-A-965 117), each post consists of a metal rod, the lower part of which is passed through a concrete block embedded in the ground for fastening in the ground and the lower end of which is threaded for screwing on a fastening nut is. Above the concrete block, the two wooden clamping strips can be clamped together on the metal rod using screw bolts and nuts. Fence elements which are arranged one above the other and which consist of fence slats or also of a few relatively high tabular elements are held in the space between the two terminal strips. By arranging intermediate posts, it is also possible to produce fencing panels between adjacent posts from appropriately flexible fence slats. The aforementioned components are each prefabricated so that they allow a relatively simple assembly of the fence on the spot.

Die Verwendung von Metallstangen als tragendes Bauteil des Zauns erschwert indessen den Zusammenbau des Zauns insofern, als die vorgebohrten Löcher für die Schraubenbolzen stets so angeordnet sein müssen, daß die Schrauben rechts- oder linksseitig an der Metallstange vorbeiführbar sind. Diese außermittige Lage der Bohrungen bzw. Löcher läßt nur eine, in Querrichtung jeder Einspannstelle gesehen, einseitig wirkende oder zumindest sehr ungleichmäßig verteilte Klemmkraft zu. Darüberhinaus können die Schraubenbolzen beim von unten nach oben erfolgenden Aufbau der Zaunfelder aus den einzelnen, sich horizontal erstreckenden Zaunelementen erst eingeführt werden, wenn das sich unter dem jeweiligen Schraubenbolzen zu bildende Zaunfeldteil bereits hergestellt ist, da die jeweils einander gegenenüberliegenden Bohrungen von zwei miteinander zu verspannenden Klemmleisten in dem vertikalen Einführbereich der Randabschnitte der Zaunelemente liegen. Daher ist auch die Höhe der jeweils ein Zaunfeld bildenden, übereinander angeordneten Zaunelemente begrenzt. Denn zur Herbeiführung der notwendigen Verspannung der Randabschnitte. zwischen den Klemmleisten dürfen bestimmte Höchstabstände zwischen den Schraubenbolzen in Längsrichtung des Pfostens nicht überschritten werden. Ferner ist der Aufbau der einzelnen Zaunfelder durch Übereinanderordnen einzelner Zaunelemente verhältnismäßig zeitraubend und mühevoll, und das gleiche gilt für die tragende Zaunstruktur aus Betonklötzen und Metallstanqen.The use of metal rods as a load-bearing component of the fence, however, complicates the assembly of the fence in that the pre-drilled holes for the screw bolts must always be arranged so that the screws can be guided past the metal rod on the right or left side. This eccentric position of the bores or holes allows only one, seen in the transverse direction of each clamping point, one-sided or at least very unevenly distributed clamping force. In addition, the bolts can be inserted from the individual, horizontally extending fence elements when the fence panels are constructed from bottom to top only when the fence panel part to be formed under the respective bolt has already been produced, since the mutually opposite bores of two to be braced together Terminal strips are located in the vertical insertion area of the edge sections of the fence elements. Therefore, the height of the fence elements which form a fence field and are arranged one above the other is limited. Because to bring about the necessary bracing of the edge sections. certain maximum distances between the bolts in the longitudinal direction of the post must not be exceeded between the terminal strips. Furthermore, the construction of the individual fence fields by stacking individual fence elements on top of one another is relatively time-consuming and laborious, and the same applies to the load-bearing fence structure made of concrete blocks and metal posts.

Es besteht daher die Aufgabe, den Aufbau des eingangs genannten Zauns zu vereinfachen, und zwar vor allem unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Verkürzung und Erleichterung der Montage des Zauns.There is therefore the task of simplifying the construction of the fence mentioned at the outset, above all from the point of view of shortening and facilitating the assembly of the fence.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß jeder Pfosten durchgehend nur aus den beiden Klemmleisten besteht, jedes großflächige Zaunelement ein als Ganzes zwischen zwei Pfosten anzuordnendes Zaunfeld umfaßt, die zwischen den beiden Klemmleisten einspannbaren Randabschnitte jeweils vertikal durchgehend einteilig ausgebildet sind, die Schraubenbolzen und Muttern, in Breitenrichtung der Klemmleisten gesehen, mittig an diesen angeordnet sind und an dem im Boden zu versenkenden Abschnitt des Pfostens Einspannstellen zur Aufnahme von Distanzstücken oder Querankern vorhanden sind.To solve this problem it is provided according to the invention that each post consist only of the two terminal strips, each large-area fence element comprises a fence field to be arranged as a whole between two posts, which are each formed vertically continuously in one piece between the two terminal strips, the screw bolts and nuts , seen in the width direction of the terminal strips, are arranged centrally on these and there are clamping points for receiving spacers or cross anchors on the section of the post to be recessed in the ground.

Durch diese erfindungsgemäße Gestaltung des Zauns werden die für seine Herstellung erforderlichen Bauelemente vereinfacht, und vor allem die Montage des Zauns wird erheblich erleichtert. Wie bisher können die Bauteile vom Hersteller als montagefertiger Bausatz geliefert und an Ort und Stelle ohne Spezialwerkzeuge und ohne besondere Fachkenntnisse leicht zu einem stabilen Zaun miteinander verbunden werden. Kleinere Ungenauigkeiten im Hinblick auf Lage und Abstand der Pfosten können bei erfindungsgemäßer Gestaltung der Bauteile des Zauns in Kauf genommen werden, da die Verbindung zwischen den Klemmleisten und den Randabschnitten der großflächigen Zaunelemente keinen absolut genauen Abstand des jeweiligen Zaunelements vom Pfosten erfordert.This inventive design of the fence simplifies the components required for its manufacture and, above all, the assembly of the fence is made considerably easier. As before, the components can be supplied by the manufacturer as a ready-to-assemble kit and easily connected to one another on site without special tools and without special expertise to form a stable fence. Minor inaccuracies with regard to the position and spacing of the posts can be accepted in the inventive design of the components of the fence, since the connection between the terminal strips and the edge sections of the large-area fence elements does not require an absolutely exact distance of the respective fence element from the post.

Wenn die Pfosten gesetzt werden sollen, und zwar jeweils im Abstand entsprechend der Breite der großflächigen Zaunelemente, werden an dem im Boden zu versenkenden Abschnitt Distanzstücke zwischen den beiden Klemmleisten, die den Pfosten bilden, mittels Schrauben und Muttern an mehreren Einspannstellen angebracht, so daß die Klemmleisten bereits zur Bildung des Pfostens zusammengefügt sind, wenn der Pfosten im Boden versenkt wird. Wenn statt einfacher Distanzstücke Queranker, nämlich beispielsweise in Querrichtung des Pfostens angeordnete Lattenstücke oder dergleichen, verwendet werden, erhält der Zaun einen besseren Widerstand gegen Winddruck. Nach dem Setzen der Pfosten sind diese unmittelbar zur Aufnahme der Zaunelemente und der aus Schraubenbolzen und Muttern bestehenden Befestigungselemente vorbereitet.If the posts are to be placed, each at a distance corresponding to the width of the large-area fence elements, spacers between the two terminal strips that form the post are attached to the clamping area in the ground by means of screws and nuts at several clamping points, so that the Terminal strips are already assembled to form the post when the post is sunk into the ground. If, instead of simple spacers, transverse anchors, namely, for example, slats or the like arranged in the transverse direction of the post, are used, the fence is given better resistance to wind pressure. After this When the posts are set, they are immediately prepared to accommodate the fence elements and the fastening elements consisting of bolts and nuts.

Die einzelnen Zaunfelder zwischen den Pfosten sind rasch herstellbar, weil hierfür großflächige Zaunelemente, nämlich tafelartige Elemente jeweils als Ganzes zwischen zwei Pfosten angeordnet werden, und zwar so, daß sich ihre vertikal jeweils durchgehend einteilig ausgebildeten Randabschnitte zwischen den beiden Klemmleisten befinden. Zur Erzielung einer dauerhaften Befestigung der Zaunelemente an den Pfosten bedarf es nunmehr lediglich noch der Herstellung der notwendigen Spannkräfte, mit der die Randabschnitte der Zaunelemente zwischen den Klemmleisten eingespannt werden, und zwar durch Anziehen der Schraubenbolzen und Muttern, wobei die Schraubenbolzen zweckmäßig bereits vorher durch vorbereitete Bohrungen in den Klemmleisten hindurchgeführt und mit den Muttern zunächst lose gehalten werden. Die mittige Anordnung der Schraubenbolzen und Muttern gestattet es, die Randabschnitte der Zaunelemente fast bis zur gegenseitigen Berührung benachbarter Zaunelemente in den Zwischenraum zwischen den Klemmleisten einzuschieben, wo nämlich die Randabschnitte benachbarter Zaunelemente nur durch die Schäfte der Schraubenbolzen voneinander getrennt sind. Dadurch wird die Breite der Klemmleisten zur Schaffung möglichst großer Kontaktflächen zwischen den Klemmleisten und den Randabschnitten optimal ausgenutzt, und dadurch, daß die Randabschnitte der einteiligen großflächigen Zaunelemente ohne Unterbrechung, nämlich vertikal durchgehend, von den Klemmleisten erfaßt werden, ist eine außerordentlich widerstandsfähige und dauerhafte Verbindung zwischen den Pfosten und den Zaunelementen erreichbar, zumal auch die mittige Lage der Schraubenbolzen und Muttern an den Klemmleisten einen nach beiden Seiten gleichmäßig wirkenden Klemmdruck erzeugt im Gegensatz zu dem bisher bekannten Zaun, wo nicht nur die Zaunelemente aus einzelnen übereinander angeordneten mehr oder weniger hohen Zaunlatten bestehen, die eine entsprechend längere Montagezeit beim Aufstellen des Zauns bedingen und wobei die Randabschnitte jedes einzelnen dieser Zaunelemente eingespannt sein muß, was zwangsläufig zu einem verhältnismäßig kurzen Maximalabstand zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Schraubenbolzen führt, sondern auch der Druck ungleich ist.The individual fence fields between the posts can be produced quickly because large-scale fence elements, namely panel-like elements, are arranged as a whole between two posts, so that their vertically continuous one-piece edge sections are located between the two terminal strips. To achieve a permanent attachment of the fence elements to the posts, all that is now required is to produce the necessary clamping forces with which the edge sections of the fence elements are clamped between the terminal strips, by tightening the bolts and nuts, the bolts being appropriately prepared beforehand by Drilled holes in the terminal strips and are initially held loose with the nuts. The central arrangement of the bolts and nuts allows the edge sections of the fence elements to be inserted almost up to the mutual contact of adjacent fence elements in the space between the terminal strips, where the edge sections of adjacent fence elements are separated from one another only by the shafts of the screw bolts. As a result, the width of the terminal strips is optimally utilized to create the largest possible contact areas between the terminal strips and the edge sections, and the fact that the edge sections of the one-piece large-area fence elements are gripped by the terminal strips without interruption, namely vertically continuously, is an extraordinarily robust and permanent connection Reachable between the posts and the fence elements, especially since the central position of the bolts and nuts on the terminal strips creates a clamping pressure that acts uniformly on both sides, in contrast to the previously known fence, where not only the fence elements consist of individual, more or less high, fence posts exist, which require a correspondingly longer assembly time when setting up the fence and the edge portions of each of these fence elements must be clamped, which inevitably leads to a relatively short maximum distance between each other leads screw bolt, but also the pressure is unequal.

Um den Druck auf die einzuspannenden Randabschnitte der Zaunelemente zu erhöhen, weisen die Klemmleisten innere Ausnehmungen zur Ausbildung von den Randabschnitten zugewandten Druckstegen auf. Bei dieser vorteilhaften Ausführungsform wird besonders deutlich, daß für den Abstand der Zaunelemente zu den Pfosten ein gewisses Spiel in Kauf genommen werden kann, da auch dann noch eine sichere Klemmverbindung zwischen Pfosten und großflächigen Zaunelementen möglich ist, wenn ein Randabschnitt nur zum Teil in den Zwischenraum zwischen den Klemmleisten eingeführt ist. Während die Materialqualität der großflächigen Zaunelemente, die vom Hersteller als einteiliges Flächenelement geliefert werden, infolge der innigen Verbindung der Flächenelement mit den Pfosten je nach Verwendungszweck des Zauns wählbar ist, bestehen die Klemmleisten vorzugsweise aus Hartholz, das die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung und Verwendung der Pfosten in besonders einfacher und zuverlässiger Weise ermöglicht.In order to increase the pressure on the edge sections of the fence elements to be clamped, the clamping strips have inner recesses for the formation of pressure webs facing the edge sections. In this advantageous embodiment, it is particularly clear that a certain amount of play can be accepted for the distance of the fence elements to the posts, since a secure clamping connection between posts and large-area fence elements is still possible if an edge section is only partially in the space is inserted between the terminal strips. While the material quality of the large-area fence elements, which are supplied by the manufacturer as a one-piece area element, can be selected as a result of the intimate connection of the area element with the posts, depending on the purpose of the fence, the terminal strips are preferably made of hardwood, which is particularly suitable for the inventive design and use of the posts enables simple and reliable way.

Vorzugsweise sind die Zaunelemente von einem Holzrahmen eingefaßte Flechtzaunelemente, wobei die vertikalen Rahmenstücke den zwischen den Klemmleisten einzuspannenden Randabschnitten entsprechen. Hierbei ergibt sich der weitere Vorteil, daß der beidseitige Druck auf die Randabschnitte die Verankerung des in Nuten der Rahmenstücke eingelassenen Flechtwerks wirkungsvoll unterstützt. Es sind zwar bereits Zäune (GB-A-416 597 und GB-A-421 921) bekannt, bei denen ebenfalls großflächige, als Ganzes zwischen Zaunpfosten anzuordnende Flechtzaunelemente Verwendung finden, aber dieses bekannte Flechtwerk ist entweder ein verhältnismäßig aufwendig und nur geringe Stabilität bei Verwendung im Rahmen eines Bausatzes aufweisendes Gebilde (GB-A-416 597) bzw. eine aufwendige Konstruktion (GB-A-421 921), bei der sich die vorgenannte im Rahmen der erfindungsgemäßen Zaunausbildung erreichbare Wirkung nicht erzeilen läßt und ein verhältnismäßig hoher Aufwand sowohl bei der Fertigung der Flechtzaunelemente als auch bei der übrigen Herstellung und Montage des Zauns erforderlich ist. Zur Vermeidung von von den Klemmleisten vorstehenden Spannelementen sind die Köpfe der Schraubenbolzen und die Muttern in den Klemmleisten vorzugsweise versenkt angeordnet.The fence elements are preferably braided fence elements bordered by a wooden frame, the vertical frame pieces corresponding to the edge sections to be clamped between the terminal strips. This has the further advantage that the pressure on both sides of the edge sections effectively supports the anchoring of the wickerwork embedded in the grooves of the frame pieces. Fences (GB-A-416 597 and GB-A-421 921) are already known, in which large-area braiding fence elements to be arranged as a whole between fence posts are also used, but this well-known weaving mechanism is either relatively complex and only little stability Use in the context of a kit-containing structure (GB-A-416 597) or an elaborate construction (GB-A-421 921), in which the aforementioned effect achievable within the framework of the fence design according to the invention cannot be achieved and both are relatively expensive is necessary in the manufacture of the wattled fence elements as well as in the remaining manufacture and assembly of the fence. In order to avoid clamping elements protruding from the terminal strips, the heads of the screw bolts and the nuts in the terminal strips are preferably arranged countersunk.

Aus vorstehendem ist ersichtlich, daß die Erfindung vor allem an Holzzäunen, insbesondere an Flechtzäunen, verwendbar ist, allerdungs läßt sie sich auch an Zaunelementen' sowie Pfosten aus anderem Material, beispielsweise aus Metall, verwirklichen.From the above it can be seen that the invention can be used above all on wooden fences, in particular on wicker fences, but it can also be implemented on fence elements and posts made of other material, for example metal.

Anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels wird die Erfindung nachstehend mit Bezug auf die Zeichnungen erläutert. In den Zeichnungen zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Vorderansicht eines aus drei Zaunelementen und vier Pfosten gebildeten Zauns;
  • Fig. 2 eine perspektivische Ansicht eines aus zwei Klemmleisten gebildeten Pfosten des Zauns von Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 3 eine Querschnittsansicht des in Fig. 2 dargestellten Pfostens, und zwar mit ihren Randabschnitten an dem Pfosten befestigten Zaunelementen aus von einem Holzrahmen eingefaßtem Flechtwerk.
Using an exemplary embodiment, the invention is explained below with reference to the drawings. The drawings show:
  • Figure 1 is a front view of a fence formed from three fence elements and four posts.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a post of the fence of FIG. 1 formed from two clamping strips;
  • Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the post shown in Fig. 2, with its edge portions attached to the post fence elements made of wickerwork framed by a wooden frame.

In dem in Fig. 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind vier Pfosten 1 im Abstand voneinander im Boden 2 mit ihren unteren Abschitten 3 eingelassen. Zwischen den Pfosten 1 sind jeweils ringsum mit einem Rahmen 5 eingefaßte Zaunelemente 4 aus Flechtwerk 17 befestigt. Die Zaunelemente 4, die als tafelartige Elemente vom Herstellerwerk als Ganzes gefertigt und geliefert werden, bestehen vorzugsweise aus tropischen Harthölzern und sind ebenso wie die aus Holz bestehenden Pfosten 1 mit einem Imprägnierungsmittel zur Erzielung höherer Witterungsbeständigkeit behandelt.In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, four posts 1 are let into the floor 2 with their lower sections 3 at a distance from one another. Fence elements 4 made of wattle 17 are fastened all around with a frame 5 between the posts 1. The fence elements 4, which are manufactured and supplied as panel-like elements by the manufacturer as a whole, preferably consist of tropical hardwoods and, like the wooden posts 1, are treated with an impregnating agent to achieve higher weather resistance.

Wie in Fig. 2 und 3 zu erkennen ist, ist jeder Pfosten 1 in Längsrichtung in zwei Klemmleisten 1a, 1 b unterteilt. Am unteren Abschnitt 3 befinden sich in montagebereitem Zustand des Pfostens 1 zwei Queranker 6, die mittels Schraubenbolzen und Muttern, wie dargestellt, befestigt sind, gleichzeitig als Distanzstücke wirken und dem Pfosten 1 einen wirkungsvollen Halt gegen Winddruck im Boden 2 geben.As can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, each post 1 is divided in the longitudinal direction into two terminal strips 1 a, 1 b. At the lower section 3 there are two cross anchors 6 in the ready-to-install state of the post 1, which are fastened by means of bolts and nuts, as shown, simultaneously acting as spacers and giving the post 1 an effective hold against wind pressure in the floor 2.

Die beiden Klemmleisten 1a, 1 weisen an mehreren über die Länge des Pfostens 1 verteilten Einspannstellen miteinander fluchtende Bohrungen 7 zur Aufnahme eines Schraubenbolzens 8 mit einer Mutter 9 und Unterlegscheiben oder Federscheiben 10 auf, mit dem die beiden Klemmliesten 1 a, 1 b in der aus Fig. 3 ersichtlichen Weise miteinander verspannt werden können. Der Kopf 11 des Schraubenbolzens 8 ist ebenso wie die Mutter 9 in Ausnehmungen 12 versenkt angeordnet. Jede der Klemmleisten 1 a, 1 ist an ihrer Innenseite ausgefräst zur Ausbildung von je einer Ausnehmung 13 mit außen liegenden Druckstegen 14. In den Raum zwischen beiden Klemmleisten 1 a, 1b sind von rechts und links jeweils ein vertikaler Randabschnitt 15 der angrenzenden Zaunelemente 4 eingeschoben, wobei dargestellt ist, daß das Flechtwerk 17 der Zaunelemente 4 in Nuten 16 jedes Randabschnitts 15, der ein Teil des Rahmens 5 bildet, eingelassen ist. Zur Befestigung der vertikalen Randabschnitte 15 an dem Pfosten 1 werden die Klemmleisten 1 a, 1 b durch Anziehen des Schraubenbolzens 8 mit seiner Mutter 9 an den Einspannstellen jeweils gegen die Rahmenstücke 15 gepreßt, so daß Druckstege 14 mit hohem Anpreßdruck an den Randabschnitten 15 verspannt werden. Dabei verstärkt sich auch der Druck der beiden Schenkel jedes Randabschnitts 15, in dem jeweils die Nut 16 gebildet ist, auf das in der Nut 16 angeordnete Flechtwerk 17, so daß sich hierfür ein weiterer Befestigungseffekt ergibt.The two clamping strips 1 a, 1 have, at several clamping points distributed over the length of the post 1, mutually aligned bores 7 for receiving a screw bolt 8 with a nut 9 and washers or spring washers 10, with which the two clamping plates 1 a, 1 b in the Fig. 3 can be seen braced together. The head 11 of the bolt 8 is, like the nut 9, recessed in recesses 12. Each of the terminal strips 1 a, 1 is milled on its inside to form a recess 13 with external pressure webs 14. In the space between the two terminal strips 1 a, 1 b, a vertical edge section 15 of the adjacent fence elements 4 is inserted from the right and left , it being shown that the wattle 17 of the fence elements 4 is embedded in grooves 16 of each edge section 15 which forms part of the frame 5. To attach the vertical edge portions 15 to the post 1, the terminal strips 1 a, 1 b are pressed against the frame pieces 15 by tightening the screw bolt 8 with its nut 9 at the clamping points, so that webs 14 are clamped to the edge portions 15 with high contact pressure . The pressure of the two legs of each edge section 15, in which the groove 16 is formed, also increases on the wattle 17 arranged in the groove 16, so that there is a further fastening effect for this.

Aus der vorstehenden Beschreibung ist ersichtlich, daß das Aufstellen des Zauns mit einfachen Werkzeugen wie Spaten (zum Eingraben der Pfosten 1) und Schraubenschlüssel (zum Anziehen der Muttern 9 an den Schraubenbolzen 8) möglich ist. Es spielt auch keine wesentliche Rolle, ob jeder vertikale Randabschnitt 15, wie in Fig 3 an sich dargestellt, tatsächlich bis nahe zur Berührung des Schraubenbolzens 8 in den Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden Klemmleisten 1a, 1b eingeschoben ist, denn auch in von der Mitte des Pfostens 1 weiter entfernter Lage wird der vertikale Randabschnitt 15 noch sicher von den einander gegenüberliegenden Druckstegen 14 erfaßt.From the above description it can be seen that the fence can be erected using simple tools such as spades (for digging in the posts 1) and wrenches (for tightening the nuts 9 on the bolts 8). It also does not matter whether each vertical edge section 15, as shown in FIG. 3 per se, is actually inserted into the space between the two terminal strips 1a, 1b up to the point of contact with the screw bolt 8, because it is also from the center of the post 1 further away, the vertical edge section 15 is still securely gripped by the opposing pressure webs 14.

Die Ausführungsform nach Fig. 1-3 zeichnet sich durch besondere Einfachheit bei der Herstellung und bei der Montage aus, zumal keine weiteren Beschläge und Teile benötigt werden, da der Pfosten 1 jeweils direkt aus einem Paar Klemmleisten 1 a, 1 b, gebildet wird.The embodiment according to FIGS. 1-3 is characterized by particular simplicity in manufacture and assembly, especially since no further fittings and parts are required, since the post 1 is formed directly from a pair of terminal strips 1 a, 1 b.
