Description

the present invention relates to a technical barrier, of the type used to enclose land or a building, in particular when it comes to making a security fence.

It is known to make the fence using a barrier constituted by a succession of posts driven vertically into the ground, while horizontal beams connect the succeeeifs posts. Such a barrier of known type is generally content to play the role of a fence. On the other hand, when the user wishes to match his fence with various surveillance or security devices (electric projectors, remote control for a gate, installation of a telephone or an intercom, installation of motors or detection sensors , etc ....), it is also required to dig or build gutters, trenches, etc ... corresponding to additional work. It is clear that the final cost price of such an installation is high, including in particular a lot of labor.

The object of the present invention is to avoid these drawbacks by providing a technical barrier which the user can, if desired, combine various security or remote control devices, without it being necessary to do so. undertake significant ancillary work.

A technical barrier according to the invention comprises uprights to be installed vertically in the ground, and horizontal rails which connect the uprights, and it is characterized in that, on the one hand, the rails consist of horizontal tubes open at their two ends, while, on the other hand, each upright comprises at least one lateral bracket capable of receiving face to face the two ends of the corresponding beams, the fixing of which is ensured by means provided for this purpose at this location.

According to another characteristic of the invention, each stringer is constituted by a tube with square or rectangular section, the lower horizontal face of which is extended by a tab capable of defining a space which remains free between the two ends opposite the two rails connected on the same upright.

According to another characteristic of the invention, each upright comprises, in the middle and above each support bracket, a lateral opening capable of passing an electric cable, a fastening screw, or any other member for placing in place of an accessory.

According to another characteristic of the invention, each vertical upright consists of a tube with a square or rectangular section.

According to another characteristic of the invention, each vertical upright is constituted by a profiled iron, in particular by a T-iron or a U-iron.

According to another characteristic of the invention, the rails are grouped in pairs, namely an upper rail, and a lower rail, joined by grid elements, so that the assembly constitutes a panel capable of being put in place. by placing the four ends of the two rails on the four lateral brackets of two vertical uprights.

According to another characteristic of the invention, each lateral bracket has the shape of an angle iron terminated by a wing raised vertically upwards at a distance from the upright, each end of a stringer being placed on this bracket, between the raised wing outside and the face opposite the upright.

According to another characteristic of the invention, the means for fixing on a bracket, the two opposite ends of two beams, are constituted by a flat jumper which covers the ends of the two beams, and whose central part is screwed at a distance in a tapped hole in the central part of the horizontal wing of the corresponding stem.

According to another characteristic of the invention, the means for fixing the opposite ends of two healds consist of a Z-section fitting, two wings of which cover the corresponding faces of the healds, while the third wing is screwed against the adjacent vertical face of the upright. In this case, provision is preferably made to connect end to end the vertical upper wing of the bracket and the wing located opposite on the Z-shaped fitting, so that a kind is produced around the heddles. box that hides their connection area, and houses cables or other accessories that pass there, especially if it is a junction with the interior space of the vertical upright.

The barrier illustrated in the drawings comprises uprights or stakes 1, each of which is constituted by a tube with a square or rectangular section. Each upright 1 has on the side, two rigid brackets 2, each of which defines a horizontal wing 3, terminated by a vertical wing 4 raised upwards. In the examples illustrated, each console 2 also includes a vertical wing 5 directed downward, which allows it to be screwed or welded against the vertical lateral feca 6 of the upright 1. Thus, each console 2 illustrated in the drawings has a Z-shaped profile (Figure 3). Of course, for each console 2, we could be satisfied with an angle bracket 3, 4, 1 ¹ wing 3 then being directly welded to the lateral face 6.

In its central part, the horizontal wing 3 has an opening 7 which can receive the threaded rod 8 with a screw 9. The latter allows the fixing of a flat jumper 10 through which the threaded rod 8 passes.

• - ou bien le trou 7 de la console 2 est taraudé , pour que la tige filetée 8 vienne s'y visser directement ;
• - ou bien la tige 8 passe librement à l'intérieur du trou 7 , au-delà duquel elle reçoit un écrou 11 .

For this assembly, two solutions are possible:

• - Or else the hole 7 of the console 2 is tapped, so that the threaded rod 8 comes to be screwed there directly;
• - or else the rod 8 passes freely inside the hole 7, beyond which it receives a nut 11.

The barrier illustrated in the drawings also includes horizontal rails such as 12, 13, 14, 15, each of which also consists of a metal tube with rectangular or square section. The lower horizontal face of each stringer such as 12 to 15 is extended by a horizontal tab 16 (FIGS. 2 to 4), intended to come to rest on the horizontal wing 3 of the corresponding console 2. Thus, when we place face to face, the ends of two beams such as 12 and 13, (FIGS. 3 and 5), the hole 7 of the console 2 remains free between the two legs 16, while a space 17 is, also free between the two ends facing the two healds 12 and 13.

In the example illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5, and 8, it has been assumed that the heddles are grouped in pairs, namely an upper heald 12 or 13, and a lower heald 14 or 15, joined together by grid elements. here constituted by welded vertical bars 18. Thus, each pair of heddles such as 12 and 14 constitutes with its vertical bars 18, a rigid panel that the operator can handle and place on the corresponding consoles 2.

• Lorsqu'un utilisateur désire mettre en place une barrière selon l'invention , il commence par installer les montants verticaux 1 . Ensuite , il pose successivement les panneaux composites tels que 12 , 14 , 18 , en plaçant simplement les extrémités des lisses telles que 12 et 14 sur les consoles 2 des montants 1 . Ainsi , sur chaque console 2 se trouve placées face à face les deux extrémités opposées de deux lisses telles que 12 et 13 , ou 14 et 15 . A l'intérieur de ces lisses , l'utilisateur peut alors placer des fils ou câbles tels que 19 :
  • - soit pour les faire courir le long et à l'intérieur de la barrière jusqu'à un poste d'utilisation qui peut être par exemple un portail électrique , ou un éclairage à distance;
  • - soit pour les faire pénétrer à l'intérieur du montant 1 , par une ouverture 20 découpée dans la face 6 au-dessus de chaque console 2 , par exemple pour définir une boucle 21 à l'intérieur du montant 1 , ou bien pour aller alimenter un appareil d'utilisation qui peut être monté directement sur le montant 1 , ou bien situé à proximité de celui-ci.

The operation is as follows:

• When a user wishes to set up a barrier according to the invention, he begins by installing the vertical uprights 1. Then, it successively poses the composite panels such as 12, 14, 18, by simply placing the ends of the beams such as 12 and 14 on the brackets 2 of the uprights 1. Thus, on each console 2 is placed face to face the two opposite ends of two beams such as 12 and 13, or 14 and 15. Inside these rails, the user can then place wires or cables such as 19:
  • - or to make them run along and inside the barrier to a use station which can be for example an electric gate, or remote lighting;
  • - either to make them penetrate inside the upright 1, through an opening 20 cut in the face 6 above each console 2, for example to define a loop 21 inside the upright 1, or else to go supply a user device which can be mounted directly on the upright 1, or located close to it.

Thanks to this arrangement, lighting devices, a remote control, a telephone, an intercom, detection or motorization devices, etc. can be supplied remotely, and without passing any cables outside the barrier. .. In particular, for security installations, it is possible to include in the fence, at different points on the barrier, repeated shock detectors, capable of triggering an alarm in the event of an attempted crossing or break-in.

In the variant illustrated in FIGS. 2, 6 and 7, the means for fixing the opposite ends of two healds such as 12 and 13, are constituted by a fitting 22, with a Z section, of which two consecutive wings 23 and 24 come to cap the corresponding faces of the heddles 12 and 13, while the third wing 25 has perforations 26, making it possible to screw it against the adjacent vertical face 6 of the upright 1. In this case, it can be seen in FIG. 7 that provision is preferably made to connect the vertical upper wing 4 of the console 2 end to end, and the wing 23 located opposite on the fitting 22. We react thus reads around the rails 12 and 13, a sort of box (Figure 7), which masks their connection area.

In the variant illustrated in FIG. 9, on the contrary, it is chosen to leave the open ends opposite the healds such as 12 and 13 freely accessible. To do this, simply place the jumper 10 directly on the opposite legs 16, and block it there on the console 2.

In the variant illustrated in FIG. 8, the fixing of the assembly of FIG. 1 is reinforced, by screwing on the face 6 of the upright 1, two jumpers 27 each of which is placed astride two bars 18 consecutive: this thus reinforces fixing, for example at mid-length or at third of the length of the bars 18 between the healds 12 and 14.
