Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rail fence or enclosure which can be easily made and installed.
  • prior rail fences conventionally comprise cross-members which are coupled, at their longitudinal end portions, to uprights and which support a plurality of rods having a lot of different shapes, depending on requirements.
  • a galvanizing process while providing a very good protection against corrosion, is affected by the drawback that it does not provide a satisfactory aesthetic finishing of the rail fence and, moreover, that said galvanizing method hinders a subsequent painting of the rail fence, if a painting finishing is required for aesthetic reasons.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a rail fence or enclosure in general which can be made by easily constructed and assembled elements.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide such a rail fence or enclosure which is very competitive from a mere economic standpoint, even if it is made starting from comparatively highly expensive materials, such as, for example, stainless steel.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a rail fence or enclosure which features a good mechanical strength.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a rail fence or enclosure which does not present any thermal expansion problems.
  • a rail fence or enclosure characterized in that it comprises: bent sheet metal cross-members having middle portions thereof therethrough are defined throughgoing holes for receiving rod elements as well as two legs extending laterally of the middle portions and laterally coupled to said rod elements, and upright members including coupling regions for supporting said cross-members.
  • the rail fence or enclosure according to the present invention comprises cross-members 2, the longitudinal end portions of which are coupled to upright members 3.
  • cross-members 2 are made of a bent sheet metal material, so as to provide a substantial omega-shaped cross-section.
  • the cross-members 2 are provided with a middle portion 4, therethrough are formed throughgoing holes of passages 5 for receiving corresponding rod elements 16.
  • two legs 6a and 6b laterally extend, said legs or wings being laterally coupled to the rod elements 16, for example by screws, rivets 7, or other known coupling means.
  • the rod elements 16 are preferably constituted by extruded metal material tubular elements.
  • two adjoining rod elements 16 can comprise separated bodies or they can be constituted, in pairs, by a same tubular body, of U bent-shape, as clearly shown in figure 5.
  • the upright elements 3 are also formed, preferably, by extruded metal material tubular bodies, on the side surfaces of which are coupled blocks 8 defining connection regions for the longitudinal end portions of the cross members 2.
  • the mentioned coupling blocks 8 can be engaged in the longitudinal end portions of the cross-members 2 and are provided, at the top thereof, with a throughgoing seat 9 for receiving a coupling screw 10, to be used for connecting the cross-members 2.
  • the screw 10 passes through a slot 11, formed through the middle portion 4 of the cross-members 2, and having an elongated shape which extends longitudinally of the cross-members, so as to allow the cross-members 2 to longitudinal slide with respect to the upright members 3, upon thermal expansion.
  • easily deformable regions 12 are provided.
  • the mentioned easily deformable regions 12 are made by punching operations on the longitudinal end portions of the cross-members 2.
  • Such a punching operation is specifically designed for edging the material forming the cross-members 2, at the mentioned longitudinal end portions of said cross-members 2.
  • the rail fence according to the present invention is formed by elements, such as the cross-members 2, rod elements 16 and upright members 3, which have a very simple construction, which can be made at a very low cost, even if a comparatively expensive material such as, for example, stainless steel is used therefor.
  • the rail fence according to the invention can be quickly and easily assembled since it would be sufficient to engage the rod elements 16 through the holes or passages 5, and affix said rod elements 16 to the cross-members 2 by rivets 7 or any other known coupling means, as already stated.
  • the subject rail fence can be made at a very low cost, even if it comprises comparatively expensive materials, such as stainless steel, which materials do not require any further maintenance operations.
  • Yet another advantage of the rail fence according to the present invention is that it is not practically affected by possible thermal expansions.
