Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of trellising or fencing, using stakes driven into the soil that supports one or more wires.
  • the stake must not have sharp edges at the points of contact with the wire, under penalty of causing premature wear of it and ultimately, its rupture.
  • the wire must be able to be easily set up at the desired height when it is relaxed, but once tensioned, it must not be able to come out of its support and unhook, which is often the case in the bowls, the wire being subjected to a force directed upwards (Figure 1).
  • the lifting wires must be able to be relaxed and removed from their fasteners to be repositioned in height as the vegetation rises.
  • the trellising system according to the invention provides a set of stakes and fasteners which simultaneously meets the above five requirements.
  • the stake can be circular, ellipsoidal or polygonal in shape.
  • the perforations or lines of perforations are arranged substantially in the part of the profile opposite its opening.
  • a stake has two lines of parallel perforations arranged in the vicinity of one another, on either side of a vertical median plane of the stake parallel to the trellising plane.
  • the stake is a hollow profile of square section, open at the location of one of its edges, the other three edges of which are rounded and has two vertical perforation lines arranged on either side. other of the edge opposite the opening of the profile.
  • Such a profile allows continuous manufacturing; the arrangement of the perforations ensures an optimal value of the moment of inertia, which makes it possible to use lighter profiles for a resistance comparable to that of the usual profiles.
  • the use of open profiles also provides economy. matter.
  • the invention also relates to assembly parts for making end posts from two stakes above and / or for adapting struts on one of said stakes.
  • the invention also relates to a hook specially intended to cooperate with the stake for hooking the end chains of the lifting wires and for anchoring the mooring wires and the tensioning wires.
  • the stake portion shown in Figures 8 and 9 is constituted by an open hollow profile 3, of substantially square shape.
  • the opening 4 is located at the location of one of the edges of the square.
  • the other three edges 5, 6 and 7 are rounded.
  • a horizontal wire support part connects to the loop-shaped part. It extends from 14 to 15 in Figure 10.
  • the curvature of the loop-shaped part is such that its free end 10 extends over a certain distance, parallel to the part forming a support and below the latter.
  • the free end 16 of the latch portion projects above the upper point 12 of the loop.
  • the fastener 9 To put the fastener 9 in place on the stake 3, as shown in FIG. 11, its end 10 is introduced into a hole 8, at the desired height, this end 10 is thus inside the stake 3. By a rotational movement, this end 10 is forced to descend towards the hole 8, immediately below, by which it emerges outside the stake.
  • the fastener 9 being made of spring steel wire, preferably, resumes its initial shape by elasticity.
  • the loop is given a shape allowing it to be introduced by rotation into two successive holes in the profile, and then brought together, for example by means of pliers, free end of the elbow loop 14, which locks the fastener.
  • the wire 17, once stretched, is housed in the connecting elbow 15 between the part of the support and the part forming a lock.
  • the end 15 of the part of the fastener 9 forming a support is outside of a vertical plane tangential to the edge 5, 7 of the stake, said plane being parallel to the trellising plane.
  • the lock portion is raised obliquely in the direction of the vertical median plane 18 of the stake parallel to the above tangential plane and its free end 16 is between said tangential and median planes.
  • Figure 15 shows an example of arrangement of four stakes assembled so that their perforations coincide and secured by bolts passing through said perforations.
  • Figure 16 shows a tool 19, specially designed for the installation of stakes 3, according to the invention.
  • the tool comprises a flat body 20, of a thickness allowing it to be introduced through the opening 4 of the stake 3 and of a width substantially equal to the diameter of the latter.
  • the flat 20 serves as a guide for the insertion of the stake from which it avoids buckling, while the head 21 which receives the blows of mass ensures a better distribution of the forces around the periphery of the stake and prevents its deterioration.
  • End posts such as that shown in Figure 15 are capable of withstanding considerable efforts. However, they are difficult to install correctly, since their resistance to penetration into the ground is high.
  • Figures 17 and 18 show an advantageous embodiment of a simplified post with two posts whose performance is similar to that of a post with four posts and whose installation is much easier.
  • the mold piece 22 is a profile formed from a folded plate and comprising a core 23, possibly ribbed, on either side of which is connect two parts 24, 25 having a shape corresponding to that of the stake 3, but of slightly different dimensions, so that they can be slid outside or inside a stake.
  • the parts 24 and 25 comprise at least two perforations 28, tapped or not, intended to cooperate with the perforations 8 of a stake 3, for fixing the assembly by appropriate means such as screws or bolts.
  • the shape of the parts 24 and 25 of the mold piece 22 is a U, the wings of which are folded back substantially at right angles to the bottom.
  • Two perforations 28, preferably tapped, are arranged on either side of the external edge 26, 27 of said U-shaped parts 24 and 25, in two planes spaced vertically from one another by a distance equal to the not perforations 8 of a stake 3.
  • the U-shaped parts 24 and 25 are arranged symmetrically on either side of the core 23 and their connecting face forms with the plane of said core 23 an angle of 135 °.
  • the two stakes 3 to be assembled are presented with their open edges facing one another and the U-shaped parts 24 and 25 of the mold piece 22 are slid inside each stake to the desired level, the assembly then being fixed by bolts passing through the perforations 8 of the stakes 3 and 28 of the U-shaped parts 24 and 25.
  • the perforations 28 are tapped holes, which dispenses with the use of nuts.
  • the assembly thus formed constitutes a very resistant beam capable of withstanding very high bending forces.
  • the number of mold pieces 22 to use depends on the height of the post and the force to which it is subjected. In general, a spacing every 50 centimeters is sufficient.
  • a stake 3 with one or two struts. This is the case in particular when the post 3 is used for trellising in closed terrain in which there is no space beyond the head post for placing the anchor (s).
  • the part 29 shown in FIG. 19 is used.
  • This part comprises a part 25 ′, similar to the parts 24 and 25 of the mold part 22 and intended to cooperate with the stake 3 , to which a fixing lug 30 is connected, provided with a perforation 32.
  • the part 25 ′ has the shape of a U whose wings are folded at right angles by relative to the bottom, the ear 30 forming an angle of 135 ° with the wing to which it is connected.
  • two perforations 31, preferably tapped are arranged in two planes spaced vertically by a distance equal to the pitch of the perforations 8 of a stake 3.
  • a part 29 is fixed to the upper end of a stake 3 intended to act as a strut, another part 29 is fixed in a second stake 3 and the two are secured by a bolt 33 passing through the perforations of the two ears 29, after having given the strut the desired inclination.
  • the assembly is stiffened by means of a spacer 34 mounted on two additional parts 29 fixed in an appropriate manner to the stake and to the strut.
  • parts 35 are used, such as those shown in FIG. 21 and parts 29.
  • the part 35 comprises a part 36 of shape corresponding to that of the stake 3, but of slightly different dimensions.
  • two fixing ears 37 diverging towards the outside, forming between them an angle of the same value as that of the fences, generally a right angle.
  • the ears 37 include, like the ear 30 of the part 29, a perforation 32.
  • the part 36 is provided with perforations 31, intended to cooperate with the perforations 8 of a stake.
  • the part 36 of the part 35 is an open square profile whose two opening edges are extended by the ears 36 diverging outwardly forming between them a right angle.
  • the perforations 31, preferably tapped, are arranged on either side of the edge opposite the opening of the profile 36 in two planes spaced vertically by a distance equal to the pitch of the perforations 8 of a stake 3.
  • Each of the struts consists of a stake or a portion of stake 3 at the head of which a connecting piece 29 has been bolted. Spacers can also be mounted by means of an additional piece 35 and two other pieces 29 .
  • the stake 3 and its clip 9 have been designed so as to avoid any sharp edge at the places where the wires carry, in order to reduce the wear of the latter.
  • the invention provides for the attachment of the various threads and moorings on the end stakes, a hook 38 adapting to the perforations 8 of the stake 3.
  • This hook 38 shown in Figure 23, is constituted by a wire preferably metallic shaped like an S, the loops of which have a wide opening.
  • the two hook loops are arranged in two different planes.
  • the hook 38 By its S shape with wide opening, the hook 38 allows a very easy height adjustment of the various wires coming to moor at an end stake, namely the tensioning wires 39, the anchoring wires 40 and the lifting wires 41 ( Figure 18).
  • the hook 38 is simply passed through two adjacent perforations 8 of the stake 3, arranged in the same horizontal plane, while the wires are moored on its loop which has remained free.
  • the hook 38 also makes it possible to use, in combination with the stake 3 according to the invention, the current lifting devices, such as the chains 42 (FIG. 18).
