Description

L'invention a trait aux clôtures formées par assemblage de poteaux et de panneaux de treillis.The invention relates to fences formed by assembling posts and lattice panels.

L'on connaît à ce jour un grand nombre de types de clôtures.To date, there are many types of fences.

Mais, quelle que soit la clôture choisie, l'on ne connaît que deux manières de procéder à sa pose.But, whatever the chosen fence, we know only two ways to proceed to its installation.

Le premier procédé consiste à poser la clôture à l'avancement, c'est-à-dire à poser d'abord un ensemble de poteaux (par exemple la totalité des poteaux disponibles) pour ensuite y monter les panneaux.The first method is to put the fence to progress, that is to say, to first put a set of poles (for example all the available poles) and then mount the panels.

Le deuxième procédé consiste par contre à poser la clôture en continu, c'est-à-dire à poser alternativement un poteau, puis un panneau, puis un poteau, et ainsi de suite.The second method is to put the fence continuously, that is to say to ask alternately a pole, then a panel, and a post, and so on.

Il est reconnu que la pose à l'avancement est plus rapide que la pose en continu.It is recognized that the pose to the progress is faster than the continuous pose.

Comme nous allons le voir, certains types de clôtures se prêtent à la pose en continu, tandis que d'autres se prêtent plutôt à la pose à l'avancement.As we will see, some types of fences are suitable for continuous installation, while others are suitable for installation.

Selon un premier type de clôture, les panneaux de treillis sont raccordés et fixés deux à deux sur la partie frontale d'un poteau de section rectangulaire, triangulaire ou autre, à l'aide d'une bride coopérant simultanément avec les fils horizontaux de deux panneaux adjacents.According to a first type of fence, the mesh panels are connected and fixed in pairs on the front portion of a post of rectangular, triangular or other section, using a flange cooperating simultaneously with the horizontal son of two adjacent panels.

Ce type de clôture est connu notamment de la demande de brevet européen publiée sous le n° EP-0 368 778.This type of closure is known in particular from the European patent application published under No. EP-0 368 778.

Cette solution, adaptée à la pose à l'avancement, présente toutefois un inconvénient majeur. En effet, il est nécessaire de positionner les fils horizontaux des panneaux adjacents à la même hauteur, ce qui rend difficile l'opération dite de décrochement consistant, on le rappelle, à positionner deux panneaux adjacents à des hauteurs différentes pour adapter la clôture à la configuration du terrain.This solution, adapted to the laying to the progress, however, has a major drawback. Indeed, it is necessary to position the horizontal son of the adjacent panels to the same height, which makes difficult the so-called step operation consistent, it is recalled, to position two adjacent panels at different heights to adapt the fence to the terrain configuration.

Un autre type de clôture permet le raccordement des panneaux sans outils et sans accessoires. Le poteau est conformé avec deux parois de section en V en regard l'une de l'autre. Des encoches sont prévues dans les parois du V pour laisser le passage aux fils horizontaux des treillis.Another type of fence allows the connection of panels without tools and accessories. The post is shaped with two V-section walls facing each other. Notches are provided in the walls of the V to allow passage to the horizontal son lattices.

Bien qu'elle soit adaptée à la pose à l'avancement, cette solution, connue notamment de la demande de brevet français publiée sous le n° FR-A-2 710 938, présente également des inconvénients.Although it is suitable for laying down, this solution, known in particular from the French patent application published under the number FR-A-2 710 938, also has drawbacks.

Premièrement, par temps estival, il arrive que les panneaux de treillis se dilatent, de sorte que leurs fils horizontaux s'écartent progressivement du fond des encoches dans lesquelles ils sont engagés, ce qui provoque un effet de flottement sous l'action du vent ou d'autres sollicitations, et engendre du bruit.Firstly, in summer weather, the mesh panels may expand, so that their horizontal threads progressively diverge from the bottom of the notches in which they are engaged, causing a floating effect under the action of the wind. other solicitations, and generates noise.

Deuxièmement, compte tenu de l'espacement entre les encoches, il n'est pas possible, en cas de décrochement pour adapter la configuration de la clôture à celle du terrain, de décaler à volonté verticalement les panneaux.Second, given the spacing between the notches, it is not possible, in case of recess to adapt the configuration of the fence to that of the ground, to shift at will vertically panels.

Troisièmement, la protection contre les intrusions est insuffisante. En effet, une forte poussée au centre du panneau de treillis suffit à dégager les fils horizontaux de leurs encoches, le panneau étant ainsi libéré.Third, protection against intrusions is insufficient. Indeed, a strong thrust in the center of the lattice panel is enough to clear the horizontal son of their notches, the panel being thus released.

Un autre type de clôture encore propose de réaliser dans les parois de côté du poteau une pluralité d'encoches en forme de T avec une fente oblongue longitudinale dans laquelle sont engagés les fils horizontaux des panneaux.Another type of fence still proposes to make in the side walls of the post a plurality of T-shaped notches with a longitudinal oblong slot in which are engaged the horizontal son of the panels.

Cette solution donne entière satisfaction pour sa facilité de pose, sa solidité et sa fiabilité ; il est notamment possible de poser la clôture en continu.This solution is entirely satisfactory for its ease of installation, strength and reliability; it is especially possible to put the fence continuously.

Toutefois, l'on a constaté une infiltration d'humidité par les encoches, ce qui peut provoquer non seulement l'apparition de points de rouille sur le poteau, mais également son éclatement au gel.However, there is moisture seepage through the notches, which can cause not only the appearance of rust spots on the post, but also its bursting frost.

Une autre solution encore propose de rapporter sur une aile du poteau à section en T un passant muni d'une rainure intérieure dans laquelle est apte à venir se loger un fil horizontal du panneau de treillis, tel que décrit dans la demande de certificat d'addition publiée sous le n° FR-A-2 641 306.Another solution proposes to report on a wing of the T-section pole a passer with an inner groove in which is able to be housed a horizontal wire of the trellis panel, as described in the application for a certificate of addition published under No. FR-A-2 641 306.

Toutefois, compte tenu de la disposition du passant et de l'orientation de sa rainure intérieure, il apparaît difficile, voire impossible de faire suivre à la clôture un parcours courbe, le panneau devant en effet être systématiquement perpendiculaire au poteau pour que son fil horizontal puisse se loger dans la rainure.However, given the layout of the passer and the orientation of its inner groove, it appears difficult, if not impossible to follow the fence a curved path, the panel must indeed be systematically perpendicular to the pole so that its horizontal wire can be lodged in the groove.

Par ailleurs, ce document est muet sur la pose de la clôture. En tout état de cause, la pose à l'avancement paraît impossible, compte tenu notamment des configurations respectives du poteau et des passants.In addition, this document is silent on the installation of the fence. In any case, the pose to the progress seems impossible, taking into account in particular the respective configurations of the post and the passers-by.

Par ailleurs, le dispositif de blocage de panneaux de treillis décrit dans le document EP-A-0.935.038 comporte également des ouvertures rectangulaires espacées et pré-établies dans les ailes des poteaux avec à la fois le problème d'adaptation au terrain et celui d'infiltration de l'humidité.Furthermore, the lattice panel locking device described in EP-A-03935 038 also comprises rectangular openings spaced and pre-established in the wings of the columns with both the problem of adaptation to the terrain and that of infiltration of moisture.

Dans le document EP-A-0.649.954, qui divulgue une clôture avec toutes les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1, des cavaliers pour le montage des treillis sur poteaux ont une gorge pour un fil horizontal d'où un flottement du panneau de treillis par rapport aux poteaux sous l'action de diverses sollicitations qui engendrent inévitablement du bruit.In the document EP-A-0.649.954, which discloses a fence with all the features of the preamble of claim 1, jumpers for mounting poles on poles have a groove for a horizontal wire from where a floating panel of lattice to the poles under the action of various stresses that inevitably generate noise.

Précisément, l'invention vise à proposer une clôture qui, tout en palliant les inconvénients précités, soit à la fois solide et fiable, insensible aux intempéries, et dont la pose soit à la fois simple, rapide et qui puisse être réalisée au choix à l'avancement ou en continu.Specifically, the invention aims to provide a fence which, while overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks, is both solid and reliable, insensitive to the weather, and whose installation is both simple, fast and can be performed at will to advancement or continuous.

A cet effet, l'invention propose, suivant un premier aspect, une clôture comportant une pluralité de poteaux et de panneaux de treillis propres chacun à relier deux à deux les poteaux, ainsi qu'au moins une attache rapportée pour la fixation de chaque panneau à un poteau, chaque poteau comportant une paroi de côté présentant un bord libre, chaque panneau comportant à l'une de ses extrémités un fil vertical d'extrémité, l'attache présentant une gorge , caractérisée en ce que ladite gorge est propre à être engagée à la fois sur ledit fil d'extrémité et sûr la paroi de côté du poteau pour maintenir le fil d'extrémité au droit du bord libre de la paroi de côté.For this purpose, the invention proposes, in a first aspect, a fence comprising a plurality of poles and lattice panels each clean to connect two poles in pairs, and at least one attached fastener for fixing each panel to a post, each post having a side wall having a free edge, each panel having at one of its ends a vertical end wire, the fastener having a groove, characterized in that said groove is adapted to be engaged both on said end wire and secure the side wall of the post to maintain the end wire at the free edge of the side wall.

Cette clôture peut être posée, au choix, en continu ou à l'avancement.This fence can be posed, as desired, continuously or in progress.

Lorsqu'elle est posée à l'avancement, elle permet un gain de temps substantiel, de l'ordre de 30 %.When it is put in progress, it allows a substantial saving of time, of the order of 30%.

Par ailleurs, il n'est pas nécessaire de réaliser des encoches dans les poteaux, ce qui représente une économie substantielle et évite les infiltrations d'humidité.Moreover, it is not necessary to make notches in the posts, which represents a substantial saving and avoids the infiltration of moisture.

Il est également possible de réaliser des décrochements à volonté pour adapter la clôture à la configuration du terrain, notamment aux creux et aux bosses de celui-ci.It is also possible to make recesses at will to adapt the fence to the configuration of the terrain, including the hollows and bumps of it.

En outre, il est possible de varier l'orientation des panneaux par rapport aux poteaux, de sorte qu'il est possible de faire suivre à la clôture des trajets courbes correspondant précisément au profil du périmètre du terrain à clôturer.In addition, it is possible to vary the orientation of the panels relative to the poles, so that it is possible to follow at the close curved paths corresponding precisely to the profile of the perimeter of the land to be fenced.

Suivant un mode de réalisation, l'attache présente une section à profil en U et comporte deux branches en regard reliées en bout pour former ladite gorge.According to one embodiment, the fastener has a U-profile section and has two facing branches connected at the end to form said groove.

Un trou traversant est par exemple pratiqué dans l'une au moins des branches pour le passage d'une vis de fixation de l'attache à la paroi de côté du poteau.A through hole is for example made in at least one of the branches for the passage of a fixing screw of the fastener to the side wall of the post.

Par ailleurs, l'attache peut présenter une face d'appui par laquelle elle est propre à assurer le soutien du panneau.Furthermore, the fastener may have a bearing face by which it is adapted to ensure the support of the panel.

En outre, une pluralité d'attaches peut être prévue pour la fixation d'un panneau à un poteau.In addition, a plurality of fasteners may be provided for attaching a panel to a post.

L'invention propose également, suivant un deuxième aspect, un procédé pour la pose d'une clôture comme décrit ci-dessus ce procédé comportant les étapes consistant à

  • implanter d'abord les poteaux,
  • monter ensuite les panneaux sur les poteaux, l'implantation des poteaux étant effectuée de telle sorte que la distance séparant les parois de côté en regard de deux poteaux voisins est égale à la distance séparant les fils verticaux d'extrémité d'un panneau, le montage de chaque panneau comportant les étapes consistant à :
  • positionner les fils d'extrémité du panneau au droit des bords libres des parois de côté des poteaux,
  • fixer chaque fil d'extrémité à la paroi de côté au moyen d'au moins une attache rapportée.
The invention also proposes, according to a second aspect, a method for laying a fence as described above, this method comprising the steps of
  • first implant the poles,
  • then mounting the panels on the posts, the implantation of the posts being carried out in such a way that the distance separating the side walls facing two neighboring posts is equal to the distance separating the vertical end threads of a panel, the mounting each panel comprising the steps of:
  • position the end wires of the panel at the free edges of the side walls of the columns,
  • attaching each end wire to the side wall by means of at least one attached fastener.

Le montage des panneaux est ainsi particulièrement simple et rapide.The assembly of the panels is thus particularly simple and fast.

Le poteau peut présenter une gorge verticale bordée par une paroi de côté, le positionnement des fils d'extrémité de chaque panneau comportant alors les étapes consistant à :

  • introduire un fil d'extrémité du panneau dans la gorge du poteau ;
  • faire pivoter le panneau pour amener son fil d'extrémité opposé en regard de la gorge du poteau voisin ;
  • déplacer le panneau pour amener les fils d'extrémité au droit des bords libres des parois de côté des poteaux.
The post may have a vertical groove bordered by a side wall, the positioning of the end wires of each panel then comprising the steps of:
  • introduce an end wire from the panel into the groove of the post;
  • rotate the panel to bring its opposite end wire opposite the groove of the neighboring pole;
  • move the panel to bring the end wires to the free edges of the side walls of the posts.

La fixation du panneau comporte les étapes consistant à :

  • engager l'attache sur le fil d'extrémité de telle sorte que celui-ci se trouve pris entre la gorge et le bord libre de la paroi de côté du poteau ;
  • fixer l'attache à la paroi de côté du poteau.
The fixing of the panel comprises the steps of:
  • engage the tie on the end wire so that it is caught between the groove and the free edge of the side wall of the post;
  • attach the clip to the side wall of the pole.

Il est également possible d'assurer le soutien des panneaux au moyen des pièces de fixation. Ainsi, le panneau comportant un fil horizontal et l'attache présentant une face d'appui, le panneau vient reposer sur la surface d'appui par l'intermédiaire du fil horizontal.It is also possible to support the panels by means of the fasteners. Thus, the panel having a horizontal wire and the fastener having a bearing face, the panel rests on the bearing surface via the horizontal wire.

En outre, il est possible d'utiliser plusieurs attaches rapportées pour assurer la fixation de chaque fil d'extrémité à la paroi de côté du poteau.In addition, it is possible to use a plurality of fasteners reported to ensure the attachment of each end wire to the side wall of the post.

Une clôture 1 dont la pose sera décrite ultérieurement est représentée sur les figures 1 à 3. Cette clôture 1 comporte une succession de poteaux 2 reliés deux à deux par des panneaux 3 de treillis comportant un assemblage soudé de fils métalliques horizontaux 4 et verticaux 5 entrecroisés.A fence 1 whose installation will be described later is shown in Figures 1 to 3. This fence 1 comprises a succession of posts 2 connected in pairs by mesh panels 3 having a welded assembly of horizontal metal son 4 and vertical 5 intersecting .

Divers types de panneaux de treillis 3 peuvent être employés ; on en a représenté trois types sur les figures 1 à 3.Various types of trellis panels 3 may be employed; three types have been shown in Figures 1 to 3.

Ainsi, le panneau 3 représenté sur la figure 1 comporte à proximité de son bord supérieur une série d'anneaux 6 ayant une fonction à la fois décorative et de renforcement.Thus, the panel 3 shown in Figure 1 comprises near its upper edge a series of rings 6 having a function both decorative and reinforcement.

Les fils verticaux 5 du panneau 3 représenté sur la figure 2 présentent, à proximité de leur extrémité supérieure, un décrochement 7 en forme de trapèze ayant essentiellement une fonction de rigidification.The vertical son 5 of the panel 3 shown in Figure 2 have, near their upper end, a recess 7 in trapezoidal shape having essentially a stiffening function.

Les fils horizontaux 4 du panneau 3 représenté sur la figure 3 sont quant à eux doublés, également à des fins de rigidification. Tel est également le cas des fils horizontaux 4 du panneau 3 de la figure 1.The horizontal son 4 of the panel 3 shown in Figure 3 are doubled, also for purposes of stiffening. This is also the case of the horizontal wires 4 of the panel 3 of FIG.

Chaque panneau 3 présente deux extrémités 8, 9 opposées par lesquelles il est monté sur les deux poteaux 2 voisins qu'il relie.Each panel 3 has two opposite ends 8, 9 through which it is mounted on the two adjacent posts 2 which it connects.

A chacune de ses extrémités 8, 9, le panneau 3 comporte un fil vertical 10 qui, soit constitue par lui-même l'extrémité 8, 9 du panneau 3, soit se trouve légèrement en retrait par rapport aux extrémités 11 des fils horizontaux 4. Par la suite, ce fil vertical 10 sera appelé fil d'extrémité.At each of its ends 8, 9, the panel 3 comprises a vertical wire 10 which either constitutes itself the end 8, 9 of the panel 3, or is slightly set back with respect to the ends 11 of the horizontal wires 4 Thereafter, this vertical wire 10 will be called end wire.

Chaque poteau 3 est réalisé d'un seul tenant par pliage d'une tôle métallique de telle sorte qu'il présente en section un profil en forme de T ou de champignon.Each post 3 is made in one piece by folding a metal sheet so that it has a section in T-shaped or mushroom.

Le poteau 3 comporte une âme centrale 12 formée par deux pans de tôle parallèles, prolongés, d'une part, par un pied 13 à section rectangulaire ou en forme de demi-lune et, d'autre part, à l'opposé du pied 13, par une tête 14 formée par deux replis à 180°, symétriques, et qui forment chacun, de part et d'autre de l'âme centrale 12, une paroi de côté 15 qui s'étend en direction du pied 13, en regard de l'âme centrale 12 et sensiblement parallèlement à celle-ci.The post 3 comprises a central core 12 formed by two parallel sheet metal sections, extended on the one hand by a foot 13 of rectangular section or in the form of a half-moon and, on the other hand, opposite the foot 13, by a head 14 formed by two folds 180 °, symmetrical, and which each form, on either side of the central core 12, a side wall 15 which extends towards the foot 13, facing the central core 12 and substantially parallel thereto.

Chaque paroi de côté 15 présente un bord libre 16 vertical qui regarde vers le pied 13, la largeur du poteau 2 au niveau de sa tête 14, c'est-à-dire la distance séparant les deux parois de côté 15, étant égale à sa largeur au niveau de son pied 13, c'est-à-dire à la plus grande dimension de ce dernier.Each side wall 15 has a free vertical edge 16 which looks towards the foot 13, the width of the post 2 at its head 14, that is to say the distance separating the two side walls 15, being equal to its width at its foot 13, that is to say, the largest dimension of the latter.

Le pied 13 et la tête 14 définissent ainsi, conjointement avec l'âme centrale 12 et de part et d'autre de celle-ci, deux gorges 17 symétriques dans chacune desquelles est apte à venir se loger, de manière classique et connue en soi, une dalle de soubassement (non représentée) qui se trouvera calée entre le pied 13 et le bord libre 16 de la paroi de côté 15.The foot 13 and the head 14 thus define, together with the central core 12 and on both sides thereof, two symmetrical grooves 17 in each of which is adapted to be housed, in a conventional manner and known per se , a base plate (not shown) which will be wedged between the foot 13 and the free edge 16 of the side wall 15.

La clôture 1 peut être posée en continu ou à l'avancement.The fence 1 can be placed continuously or in progress.

Pour poser la clôture 1 à l'avancement, l'on procède comme suit.To put fence 1 in progress, we proceed as follows.

L'on commence par implanter les poteaux 2 de manière que la distance séparant les bords libres 16 des parois de côté 15 en regard de deux poteaux 2 voisins soit égale à la longueur d'un panneau 3, c'est-à-dire à la distance séparant ses fils verticaux d'extrémité 10 opposés.The first step is to implant the posts 2 so that the distance separating the free edges 16 of the side walls 15 opposite two adjacent posts 2 is equal to the length of a panel 3, that is to say to the distance separating its opposite end vertical wires.

L'on monte ensuite les panneaux 3 sur les poteaux 2.The panels 3 are then mounted on the posts 2.

Pour monter chaque panneau 3, l'on commence par positionner ses fils d'extrémité 10 opposés au droit des bords libres 16 des parois de côté 15 de deux poteaux 2 voisins.To mount each panel 3, one begins by positioning its opposite end wires 10 to the right of the free edges 16 of the side walls 15 of two adjacent posts 2.

Compte tenu de l'espace disponible entre ces deux poteaux 2, il n'est pas possible de monter frontalement directement le panneau 3, c'est-à-dire d'amener simultanément, horizontalement, les deux fils verticaux d'extrémité 10 au droit des bords libres 16 des parois de côté 15 correspondantes.Given the space available between these two posts 2, it is not possible to directly mount the panel 3 directly, that is to say to bring simultaneously, horizontally, the two vertical end wires 10 to right of the free edges 16 of the corresponding side walls 15.

On rentre donc le panneau 3 en biais dans l'espace prévu entre les poteaux 2 voisins en introduisant tout d'abord l'un de ses fils d'extrémité 10 dans la gorge 17 de l'un des poteaux 2, tel que représenté sur la figure 12.The panel 3 is then tilted in the space provided between adjacent posts 2 by first introducing one of its end wires 10 into the groove 17 of one of the posts 2, as shown on FIG. Figure 12.

L'on fait ensuite pivoter le panneau 3 pour amener le fil d'extrémité 10 opposé en regard de la gorge 17 du poteau 2 voisin, tel que représenté sur la figure 13.The panel 3 is then rotated to bring the opposite end wire 10 opposite the groove 17 of the adjacent post 2, as shown in FIG. 13.

L'on centre ensuite le panneau 3 pour amener les fils d'extrémité 10 dans le prolongement des parois de côté 15, c'est-à-dire au droit et en regard de leurs bords libres 16, tel que représenté sur la figure 14.The panel 3 is then centered to bring the end wires 10 in the extension of the side walls 15, that is to say right and opposite their free edges 16, as represented in FIG. 14 .

L'on fixe ensuite chaque fil d'extrémité 10 à la paroi de côté 15 correspondante au moyen d'un dispositif de fixation 18 qui comporte au moins une attache 19 rapportée, tel que représenté notamment sur la figure 15.Each end wire 10 is then attached to the corresponding side wall 15 by means of a fixing device 18 which comprises at least one attached fastener 19, as represented in particular in FIG. 15.

Cette attache 19 se présente sous la forme d'un cavalier rigide réalisé d'un bloc par moulage ou usinage à partir d'un matériau résistant tel qu'un matériau composite, un acier, un aluminium, ou analogue.This fastener 19 is in the form of a rigid jumper made of a block by molding or machining from a resistant material such as a composite material, a steel, an aluminum, or the like.

Ce cavalier 19 présente une section à profil en U et comporte deux branches parallèles en regard, à savoir une branche dite interne 20 et une branche dite externe 21, reliées en bout par une paroi de fond 22 et définissant ainsi une gorge 23 qui débouche à l'opposé de la paroi de fond 22.This jumper 19 has a section with a U-shaped profile and has two parallel branches facing each other, namely a so-called internal branch 20 and a so-called external branch 21, connected at the end by a bottom wall 22 and thus defining a groove 23 which opens at the opposite of the bottom wall 22.

Pour la fixation du panneau de treillis 3, le cavalier 19 est engagé frontalement sur le fil vertical d'extrémité 10, puis sur la paroi de côté 15 de telle sorte que sa branche interne 20 soit introduite dans la gorge 23, entre la paroi de côté 15 et l'âme centrale 12 du poteau 2.For fixing the mesh panel 3, the jumper 19 is engaged frontally on the vertical end wire 10, then on the side wall 15 so that its inner branch 20 is introduced into the groove 23, between the wall of the side 15 and the central core 12 of the post 2.

Le cavalier 19 est engagé à fond, venant ainsi caler le panneau de treillis 3 contre la paroi de côté 15, l'un des fils horizontaux 4 se trouvant alors en appui contre le bord libre 16 de la paroi de côté 15, tandis que le fil vertical d'extrémité 10, inséré dans la gorge 23, se trouve en butée contre la paroi de fond 22.The jumper 19 is fully engaged, thus wedging the mesh panel 3 against the side wall 15, one of the horizontal son 4 then being in abutment against the free edge 16 of the side wall 15, while the end vertical wire 10, inserted in the groove 23, is in abutment against the bottom wall 22.

Dans cette configuration, la branche externe 21 du cavalier 19 est appliquée contre la paroi de côté 15, tandis que la branche interne 20 est elle-même appliquée contre l'âme 12 (figure 9). Les dimensions relatives du poteau 2 et du cavalier 19 sont bien entendu choisies en conséquence.In this configuration, the outer leg 21 of the jumper 19 is applied against the side wall 15, while the inner leg 20 is itself applied against the core 12 (Figure 9). The relative dimensions of the post 2 and the rider 19 are of course chosen accordingly.

L'on fixe ensuite la branche externe 21 du cavalier 19 à la paroi de côté 15, qui se trouve elle-même engagée dans la gorge 23 du cavalier 19. Cette opération peut être effectuée par rivetage ; toutefois, le vissage est préféré, et, tel que représenté sur les figures 7 et 9 notamment, il est pratiqué dans la branche externe 21 du cavalier 19 un trou traversant 24 pour le passage d'une vis 25, un lamage 26 étant prévu pour l'appui de la tête de vis 27.The external branch 21 of the jumper 19 is then fixed to the side wall 15, which is itself engaged in the groove 23 of the jumper 19. This operation may be performed by riveting; however, the screwing is preferred, and, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 9 in particular, a through-hole 24 for the passage of a screw 25 is formed in the outer branch 21 of the jumper 19, a countersink 26 being provided for the support of the screw head 27.

Suivant une variante de réalisation illustrée sur les figures 10 et 11, il est également pratiqué dans la branche interne 20 un trou traversant 28, qui s'étend dans le prolongement du premier trou 24, et formant un passage pour le corps 29 de la vis 25. Toutefois, le diamètre de la vis 25 sera choisi inférieur au diamètre du trou 28, de sorte qu'elle y sera flottante, pour n'être véritablement en prise qu'avec la paroi de côté 15.According to an alternative embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11, there is also practiced in the inner branch 20 a through hole 28, which extends in the extension of the first hole 24, and forming a passage for the body 29 of the screw 25. However, the diameter of the screw 25 will be chosen less than the diameter of the hole 28, so that it will be floating, for n ' to be truly engaged only with the side wall 15.

L'on emploie de préférence une vis perforante qui, lors de sa mise en place, vient percer la paroi de côté 15, de sorte qu'il n'est pas nécessaire d'y pratiquer au préalable des ouvertures.It is preferable to use a perforating screw which, when it is put in place, pierces the side wall 15, so that it is not necessary to make prior openings therein.

Par ailleurs, afin d'assurer l'inviolabilité de la clôture 1, il est possible de prolonger la rotation de la vis 25 de sorte que son pas de vis se trouve faussé par frottement contre la tranche du trou 30 réalisé dans la paroi de côté 15.Moreover, to ensure the inviolability of the fence 1, it is possible to extend the rotation of the screw 25 so that its screw pitch is distorted by friction against the edge of the hole 30 made in the side wall. 15.

A cet effet, l'on pourra employer une vis du type bi-métal dont le corps 29 est réalisé dans un acier trempé et dont la tête 27 est réalisée par contre dans un acier inoxydable.For this purpose, it is possible to use a screw of the bi-metal type, the body 29 of which is made of hardened steel and whose head 27 is made of stainless steel.

Une alternative peut consister à détruire l'empreinte de la tête de vis 25, pour y empêcher l'introduction de la pointe d'un tournevis.An alternative may be to destroy the footprint of the screw head 25, to prevent the introduction of the tip of a screwdriver.

In fine, le cavalier 19 se trouve fixé à demeure sur la paroi de côté 15 du poteau 2.Finally, the rider 19 is fixed permanently on the side wall 15 of the post 2.

Pour assurer le soutien temporaire du panneau 3 avant la fixation du cavalier 19, l'on peut utiliser un étrier du type de celui décrit dans la demande de brevet français au nom de la demanderesse, publiée sous le n° FR-A-2 770 559, sur lequel repose le panneau 3 par l'intermédiaire de l'un de ses fils horizontaux 4. Un tel étrier est commercialisé par la demanderesse sous l'appellation PREFIXO (marque déposée).To ensure the temporary support of the panel 3 before the attachment of the jumper 19, one can use a stirrup of the type of that described in the French patent application in the name of the applicant, published under No. FR-A-2,770 559, which rests the panel 3 by means of one of its horizontal son 4. Such caliper is marketed by the plaintiff under the name PREFIXO (registered trademark).

Il est préférable de positionner un cavalier 19 sous un fil horizontal 4, à proximité de celui-ci, de sorte que, lorsque l'on retire l'étrier et que l'on relâche le panneau de treillis 3, celui-ci descend par gravité jusqu'à venir s'appuyer, par l'intermédiaire du fil horizontal 4, contre une face supérieure d'appui 31 du cavalier 19 qui, de ce fait, assure le soutien du panneau de treillis 3.It is preferable to position a jumper 19 under a horizontal wire 4, close to the latter, so that when the stirrup is removed and the trellis panel 3 is released, the latter descends by gravity to come to bear, via the horizontal wire 4, against an upper bearing surface 31 of the rider 19 which, thereby, provides support for the mesh panel 3.

Pour assurer un blocage vertical du panneau 3, l'on peut positionner un cavalier 19 supplémentaire au-dessus d'un fil horizontal 4, de sorte que le panneau 3 se trouve pris entre deux cavaliers 19 contre lesquels viennent buter les fils horizontaux 4 correspondants.To ensure vertical blocking of the panel 3, it is possible to position an additional jumper 19 above a horizontal wire 4, so that the panel 3 is caught between two jumpers 19 against which the corresponding horizontal wires 4 abut .

Le nombre de cavaliers 19 du dispositif 18, employés pour la fixation d'un panneau de treillis 3 à un même poteau 2, est laissé à l'appréciation de l'homme du métier, mais il est bien entendu préférable d'en disposer plusieurs sur un même fil vertical d'extrémité 10 pour assurer un maintien correct de celui-ci et ainsi interdire tout débattement au panneau 3.The number of jumpers 19 of the device 18, used for fixing a mesh panel 3 to the same post 2, is left to the discretion of those skilled in the art, but it is of course preferable to have several on the same vertical end wire 10 to ensure proper maintenance of the latter and thus prohibit any movement of the panel 3.

Il est à noter que les fils des panneaux de treillis actuellement disponibles sur le marché est compris entre 4 et 8 mm pour les panneaux du type "simple fil" (c'est-à-dire dont les fils horizontaux ne sont pas doublés, tel que représenté sur la figure 2), ou entre 5 et 8 mm pour les panneaux du type "double fil", c'est-à-dire dont les fils horizontaux sont doublés, tel que représenté sur les figures 1 et 3.It should be noted that the son of lattice panels currently available on the market is between 4 and 8 mm for panels of the type "single wire" (that is to say whose horizontal son are not doubled, such as shown in Figure 2), or between 5 and 8 mm for panels of the type "double wire", that is to say whose horizontal son are doubled, as shown in Figures 1 and 3.

La largeur de la gorge 23, c'est-à-dire la distance séparant les branches 20, 21, est choisie en fonction du diamètre du fil vertical d'extrémité 10 ; en pratique, la largeur de la gorge 23 est légèrement supérieure à ce diamètre.The width of the groove 23, that is to say the distance separating the branches 20, 21, is chosen as a function of the diameter of the vertical end thread 10; in practice, the width of the groove 23 is slightly greater than this diameter.

Par ailleurs, l'on peut tenir compte des dilatations ou contractions du panneau de treillis 3 en fonction de la température.Moreover, one can take into account the expansions or contractions of the mesh panel 3 as a function of temperature.

A cet effet, la gorge 23 du cavalier 19 peut présenter, du côté de la paroi de fond 22, un décrochement 32 dans lequel est apte à venir se loger le fil vertical l'extrémité 10 en cas de dilatation (ou, au contraire, de contraction) du panneau 3, la gorge 23 présentant ainsi en section un profil en forme de L, tel que représenté sur la figure 11.For this purpose, the groove 23 of the rider 19 may have, on the side of the bottom wall 22, a recess 32 in which is adapted to be housed the vertical wire end 10 in case of expansion (or, conversely, contraction) of the panel 3, the groove 23 thus having in section an L-shaped profile, as shown in FIG. 11.

En outre, la cavalier 19 peut comporter des nervures 34 de rigidification visant à empêcher tout écartement intempestif des branches 20, 21, notamment dans le cas d'une tentative d'intrusion en force. Suivant un mode de réalisation illustré sur la figure 6, trois nervures 34 sont prévues, qui s'étendent à la jonction entre la branche interne 20 et paroi de fond 22.In addition, the rider 19 may include stiffening ribs 34 to prevent inadvertent spacing of the branches 20, 21, especially in the case of a forced intrusion attempt. According to an embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6, three ribs 34 are provided, which extend at the junction between the inner branch 20 and the bottom wall 22.

Enfin, afin d'assurer l'étanchéité et une finition visuelle agréable du poteau 2, ce dernier peut être coiffé d'un couvercle 33 dont la forme est complémentaire de la section du poteau 2, tel que représenté sur les figures 1 à 3.Finally, in order to ensure the seal and a pleasant visual finish of the post 2, the latter can be capped with a cover 33 whose shape is complementary to the section of the post 2, as shown in Figures 1 to 3.

Il a été décrit un procédé pour la pose à l'avancement de la clôture 1. Toutefois, celle-ci peut être posée en continu, notamment lorsque l'on souhaite rapporter des dalles de soubassement, qu'il n'est pas possible de poser entre deux poteaux déjà implantés.It has been described a method for laying the progress of the fence 1. However, it can be laid continuously, especially when it is desired to bring back slabs base, it is not possible to pose between two posts already implanted.

Seul l'ordre de la pose des poteaux 2 et des panneaux 3 est différent.Only the order of the installation of the posts 2 and panels 3 is different.

Ainsi, pour la pose d'une clôture 1 conforme à l'invention comportant en outre des dalles de soubassement, l'on implante d'abord un premier poteau 2, puis on introduit latéralement l'extrémité d'une dalle dans sa gorge 17.Thus, for the laying of a fence 1 according to the invention further comprising underbody slabs, firstly a first post 2 is implanted, then the end of a slab is introduced laterally into its groove 17 .

On implante ensuite le poteau 2 suivant en venant engager sa gorge 17 sur l'extrémité opposée de la dalle.The next post 2 is then implanted by engaging its groove 17 on the opposite end of the slab.

On monte enfin un panneau de treillis 3 de la même manière que précédemment décrit.Finally, a trellis panel 3 is mounted in the same manner as previously described.
