Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method of fixing a wooden board to a U-shaped metal section, the wooden board extending through a hole in the base part of the U-shaped metal section.
  • FR-A-509 051 which concerns a fence constituted by U-shaped horizontal rails and vertical boards.
  • the boards extend through holes in the base part of the U-shaped rails.
  • the boards are however loose and are at their bottoms supported on a solid base of the fence.
  • the resulting fence is due to the lack of fixing between rails and boards rather difficult to use.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method of joining or fixing wooden boards to a U-shaped metal section that overcomes the set- backs of the known technic, give a very secure grip in a very simple manner without weakening the wooden board where it extends through the metal section.
  • the invention is particularly applicable to the fabrication of fence panels or modules.
  • the object of the invention is obtained by holding the wooden board and metal section in their intended relative positions, the limbs of the U-shaped metal section are then pressed against the board with a force sufficient to result in a permanent deformation of the base part of the U-shaped section and an elastic deformation of the board, whereby when the pressing operation is terminated the section limbs remain pressed against the board. Since the resilience of the wood is greater than that of the metal in the metal section a remaining stress will result between the metal section and the wooden board.
  • the base part of the metal section has a longitudinal fold giving it an obtuse V-shape so that when the limbs of the sheet metal section are pressed against the broad deformation takes place at the apex of the V giving the metal section a uniform cross-section.
  • the apex of the V preferably points upwards so that if the metal section is used as a horizontal rail in for instance a fence water will easy be drained off the rail.
  • one or both of the hole edges which at the pressing together of the limbs of the U-shaped section are pressed against the board are provided with tips or edges facing towards the wood and that at the compressing stage are pressed into the wood causing a permanent deformation thereof at the lateral edges of the hole.
  • the rail is desired to be slightly angularily movable in order to allow inclined mounting it may be suitable that the portion of the hole edges which penetrate into the wood consist of a short piece at the centre of the hole so that the inserted board easily will allow adjustment of the inclination, with the board still strongly retained in the metal section or rail. This can for instance be the case when the invention is used to fabricate fences that have to adapt to the slope of the ground.
  • the afore-mentioned section is doubled, i.e. comprises a similar "house” section facing downward and connected directly to the upper one.
  • This embodiment when applied to rails has the disadvantage, that water can be included in the section, unless, for example, the lower holes in the section are dimensioned greater than required for inserting the boards.
  • the flange height can be permitted to be determined entirely by the desired strength in vertical direction (it is in this direction the rail runs risk to be subjected to the greatest strains at climbing etc.) and at the same time the transverse dimensions of the rail can be held restricted, thereby rendering possible a good economy, in view of the raw material prices of today.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a rail according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the fixing according to the invention
  • Figs. 3 and 4 show further details in the rail shown in Fig. 1.
  • the rail shown in Fig. 1 comprises a horizontally positioned sheet metal section 1, of which only a short piece is shown.
  • a wooden bar 2 has been secured by pressing, in that the sheet metal section has been clamped about the wooden bar 2.
  • Fig. 2 shows more clearly in Fig. 2 where it can be seen how the sheet metal section 1 when it was pressed together has been folded additionally at the angle point 3, so that the tips or edges 4 and, respectively, 5 for the hole in the sheet metal section, which are located on both sides of the board or wooden bar 2, have been pressed into the wood.
  • Fig. 1 also shows a rail post assembled of two identical sections 6 and 7.
  • the section parts 6 and 7 include recesses of such design that members 8 bent to V-shape can be inserted, which in their longitudinal direction are fixed by means of recesses 9 and 10 embracing the post sections 6 and 7.
  • the section 1 quite simply is laid on the V-shaped member 8 and fixed against being lifted off in that a sleeve 11, which prior to the mounting had been pushed on the sheet metal section 1, is moved to abut the post, in which position it can be fixed in any desired way, for example by some snap-in lock.
  • a cover In order to hold together the post brought about by the sections 6 and 7, at the upper end a cover can be located which extends over recesses 12 and, respectively, 13 in the upper ends of the sections.
  • the cover may either be clasped on or snapped over the recesses 12, 13.
  • the cover 14 can be mounted in the way shown in Fig. 3, i.e. end projections are hooked in the cover whereafter the post parts 6 and 7 are moved together and thereafter inserted down into, for example, an anchorage 15 in the ground of the kind shown in Fig. 4.
  • the post instead of using the anchorage 15, the post can be cast in concrete in known manner, but this should generally be a more expensive method, because of the greater amount of labour involved.

1. Verfahren zum Befestigen einer Holzplatte oder eines -stabes (2) an einem U-förmigen Metallabschnitt (1), wobei die Holzplatte durch ein Loch in dem Basisteil des U-förmigen Metallabschnitts ragt, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß dann, wenn die Holzplatte und der Metallabschnitt in den beabsichtigten relativen Lagen gehalten sind, die Schenkel des U-förmigen Metallabschnitts gegen die Platte mit einer Kraft gepreßt werden, die ausreicht, um eine bleibende Verformung des Basisteils des U-förmigen Abschnitts und eine elastische Verformung der Platte zu erreichen, wodurch bei Beendigung des Preßvorgangs die Schenkel des Abschnitts gegen die Platte gepreßt bleiben.
2. U-förmiger Metalltafel-Abschnitt (1) zur Durchführung des Verfahrens nach Anspruch 1 mit Löchern in dem Basisteil des U-förmigen Abschnitts zur Aufnahme von Platten (2), dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Basisteil des Metallabschnitts eine Längsfaltung (3) aufweist, durch die eine stumpfe V-Form erreicht ist, so daß dann, wenn die Schenkel des Metalltafel-Abschnitts gegen die Platte gepreßt-werden, eine Verformung am Scheitel des V erreicht ist, durch die der Metallabschnitt einen gleichförmigen Querschnitt erhält.
