Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for mounting and fixing a rail in particular horizontal of a railing on a vertical stiffener of support for this stringer.
  • a railing especially for balconies, terrace, staircase or similar construction, is generally constituted by a flat panel, in material transparent or not, disposed between two horizontal rails placed in the upper and lower part of this panel, these rails being themselves supported by posts or stiffeners vertical, located behind the panel and resting on the ground, so as to protect users from vacuum beyond the railing (see FR-A-2 123 879).
  • top and bottom rails of the railing may have, instead of a solid panel or transparent material, mutually spaced bars depending on the length of the railing, these panels being embedded in the beams at their ends, their spacing being limited, in accordance with the standards in force, especially to an extent sufficient to avoid the passage between two successive bars of the head of a child.
  • the fixing of the rails of the railing is made by joining them together with support stiffeners massive, by means of external pliers, enveloping both the body of the stiffener and simultaneously the smooth to fix on it, which takes up the panel or the bars associated.
  • Such pliers generally consist of two parts, one in the form of a yoke engaged on the rail and the other having a tubular element which bypasses the stiffener. The clamping of the latter on the two rails of the railing is then carried out by means of pressure screws which are visible from the outside.
  • Another solution is to use a piece of foundry immobilized on the front face of the stiffener and comprising an extension coming to engage in a groove of the boom to be immobilized or vice versa comprising a groove in which a flat part of this engages smooth.
  • the bridle of the assembly is carried out at screws visible from the outside, which the aesthetics and presentation of the railing.
  • the cost price of such assemblies is relatively high, due to the use of massive parts for stiffeners and molded for the clamps.
  • the present invention relates to a device which avoids these disadvantages, thanks to the use of tubular vertical stiffeners associated with support of the top and bottom rails, very designed simple, which provide both increased security in the maintenance of the railing panel or bars and a fast assembly, with an overall appearance particularly satisfactory from an aesthetic point of view, the fixing of these members carrying the beams and their clamping on the stiffener being made by means of a single screw housed inside this stiffener and which can be then completely hidden outwards.
  • the device considered, for the mounting and fixing a horizontal railing rail opposite a vertical stiffener, by means of a connecting member secured to the stiffener and supporting the smooth.
  • the stiffener has a tubular structure, able to receive, in a passage horizontal through defined by openings of the same profile arranged opposite in its opposite walls, the organ connecting in the form of an elongated clamp whose ends, when this clamp is placed in this passage, are symmetrical to each other with respect to the median plane of the stiffener, these ends outside of the latter then being oriented towards the front of the stiffener so as to receive in an open groove of the clamp a flat blank forming part of the arm to be immobilized, the clamp further comprising a threaded central bore whose axis is oriented substantially in the median plane of the stiffener and in which is engaged a screw accessible from the rear of the stiffener, so that the rotation of the screw in support on the inner wall thereof, exerts by reaction displacement of the clamp along the axis of this screw in providing
  • the pliers have a semi-circular profile, the ends of the clamp, outside the stiffener, beyond openings delimiting the passage crossing the stiffener in which it engages, each comprising a slot open upwards, the two slots being arranged in the same vertical plane, substantially tangent to the wall of the stiffener, in front of it.
  • each slot provided at the ends of the clamp has in its bottom an internal projection, suitable for receiving a raised rib possibly provided at the lower end of the plane blank of the heddle immobilize, carried by the clamp.
  • the clamp comprises in its middle part a notch whose width is substantially equal to that of the stiffener in line with openings delimiting the through passage where the clamp, so that when clamping it under the effect of the screw it supports, the edges of this indentation cover the side walls of the stiffener, by closing these openings.
  • each stringer comprises means for immobilizing a panel or parallel bars, arranged in front of the blank plane supported by the clamp.
  • the stiffener has a hole access to the head of the screw, formed in the rear part of this stiffener for the introduction of a control tool of the rotation of this screw.
  • the walls sides of the stiffener each have a groove continuous, extending along a vertical generator towards the rear of the stiffener to allow mounting, at the way of a clip, the folded edges of a cover, hiding the access hole at the head of the screw.
  • the reference 1 designates in its together a railing, intended to be mounted on the edge a flat support 2, constituted for example by the ground of a balcony, terrace or staircase, or by any other similar construction overlooking the void and that should be protected from the latter.
  • Such a railing is made up in particular of in itself known manner, by a series of stiffeners vertical 3, suitably spaced along the length of the support to be protected, these stiffeners each comprising a support and fixing plate 4 on the support 2, by all conventional means (not shown), the details of which matters little to the present invention.
  • the railing 1 comprises if necessary a handrail 5, extending horizontally by joining the upper ends of the various stiffeners 3, protection from the outside being assured, in the embodiment shown on the Figure 1, using a flat panel 6, here in material transparent, in one piece (or formed of panels adjacent as shown in Figure 6), arranged on the most of the height of the stiffeners 3, this panel being supported by the latter by means of two beams also horizontal, respectively a low beam 7 and a high beam 8.
  • each stiffener 3 has a tubular section, as we can see more particularly in the sectional views of Figures 3 to 6, each stiffener comprising, at the level of these heddles 7 and 8, a clamp-shaped connecting member 9, the structure and profile also stand out clearly of these Figures.
  • the stiffener 3 with tubular section comprises in particular, in its opposite lateral faces, respectively 10 and 11, openings 12 and 13, arranged opposite and formed in the walls of the stiffener substantially at level where each beam 7 and 8 must be placed vis-à-vis this one, these openings delimiting from one to the other a through passage for the clamp 9, once the latter engaged in the latter.
  • the clamp 9 has a general semi-circular profile, with a rectangular outline in cross section, corresponding to the profile of the openings 12 and 13 through which the clamp is engaged in the passage made through the stiffener.
  • the section of the clamp 9 a different outline, provided that it can be easily introduced into this passage and that its ends, respectively 14 and 15, can be arranged when the clamp is in place and immobilized in position as described below, from on either side of this stiffener, while being substantially symmetrical to each other, on each side of the plane vertical middle of the latter, shown schematically in Figures 2 to 6 under the reference 16.
  • the dimensions of the clamp 9 are also determined so that its ends 14 and 15 are arranged, in the previous position, corresponding in Figures 5 and 6, slightly in front of the front face 17 of the stiffener 3, such that a flat blank 18, belonging to the horizontal rail 7 or 8 associated with this clamp, can be engaged in open slots towards the high, respectively 19 and 20, provided in these ends 14 and 15, and further be substantially tangent and practically in contact with this face 17.
  • the clamp 9 advantageously comprises, in the bottom of its slots open 19 and 20, an internal projection 21, in which engages a rib 22 provided at the lower end of the planar blank 18.
  • a rib may in particular be provided on the sides of either of the two rails 7 and 8, the if necessary on only one of these, these ribs primarily intended for impact on the panel 6 from inside to outside of the railing, avoid that the heddles do not take off vis-à-vis the clamps 9, the rib 22 engaging against the upper part of the jump 21 by properly blocking the blank 18, thus prevented from coming out of the corresponding slots.
  • the clamp 9 also comprises, in its part central, a notch 23, the width of which corresponds substantially to that of the stiffener 3, at the right of passage through formed therein between openings 12 and 13 of its side walls 10 and 11.
  • a threaded hole 24 in which engages a screw 25, having at one end a groove 26 for controlling its rotation when the clamp is installation in the stiffener 3, in particular because of the engagement inside it of a tool (not shown) like a screwdriver, inserted through a hole access 27 provided in the front face 28 of the stiffener, facing the inside of the railing opposite its face frontal 17.
  • the width of the notch 23 is determined by construction, so that its internal edges, 23a and 23b respectively, are separated by a distance which corresponds to the width of the stiffener 3 at the level of the rear part of openings 12 and 13 in its walls side 10 and 11, so that the clamp 9 can slightly slide inside the through passage, these edges 23a and 23b partially covering the faces external of these side walls, in the position illustrated in Figure 6.
  • the screw 25 comprises, at its end opposite, a flat surface 29, capable of coming to rest on the internal wall of the front face 17 of the stiffener, in exerting on the clamp 9 a displacement effort towards the back of it, following the rotation of the screw.
  • the stiffener finally has, in its walls lateral 10 and 11, longitudinal grooves, respectively 30 and 31, extending along the height of the stiffener and intended to cooperate with the ends bent towards inside 32 and 33, of an outside cover 34, susceptible to be put in place against the stiffener in the way a clip, hiding its anterior face 28 and in particular the access hole 27 to the screw 25, at the level of the clamps 9 supporting the beams 7 and 8.
  • the planar blank 18 of the corresponding smooth When this is put in place, with its ends 14 and 15 brought into positions substantially symmetrical to each other, on both sides and towards the front of the stiffener, we engage in the open slots upwards 19 and 20 of this forceps, the planar blank 18 of the corresponding smooth. Preferably when it includes lower end a rib 22, this is trapped in the projection 21 provided at the base of these slots.
  • This longitudinal displacement allows to obtain a final blocking of the clamp 9, where the openings 12 and 13 are completely closed by the clamp itself, the planar blank 18 of each beam simultaneously pressing against the wall external of this same face 17, as illustrated in Figure 6, by immobilizing the assembly.
