Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connecting piece between a post and a cross member as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a connecting piece is known from the document EP-A-0 164 479 .
  • a fence is often made of panels and poles with connecting pieces holding the panels on the posts.
  • These panels are generally formed of vertical and horizontal son welded together at intersections but, there are also panels composed of two high and low cross ties connected by vertical bars.
  • a rebate post is known in which the vertical edge of a trellis panel is inserted.
  • the panel thus penetrates partially into the rabbet.
  • the panels then extend perpendicularly to the bottom of the rabbet.
  • flanges are used to lock the vertical wire of the panel against the inner face of the rabbet.
  • the first problem is related to the geometry of the surfaces to be surrounded by the fence. Indeed, fence panels delineating pens are not always aligned along straight lines but often have to follow curves.
  • a pole and a connecting piece constituted by a collar which, surrounding the pole, has with the panel a fastening means such as a tab, the assembly being fixed by a through bolt.
  • connection piece is known ( EP-A-94.300 ) between a pole and a cross member comprising, between a first portion intended to be fixed on the face of a pole and a second portion intended to be housed in the tubular portion of a cross member, a hinge.
  • the second problem results from the slope necessary for the evacuation of the water.
  • the floor surrounding the pools must have a minimum slope.
  • This slope is usually large enough to prevent the water from stagnating so that the soil becomes slippery. If this slope is not visible to the naked eye, during the installation of protective barrier, the posts are placed vertically and the upper and lower edges of the panel which is fixed on the post are horizontal.
  • the panels that are used are often two meter long panels so that the slope of the ground must not vary more than 57 millimeters by two meters.
  • This amplitude is small compared to the slopes of the ground on which the fence can be placed.
  • the invention proposes to provide a solution to the problems mentioned above.
  • the subject of the invention is a connecting piece as defined in claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to the use of the connecting piece for the construction of fences and fences provided with said connecting piece.
  • connecting piece 1 for connecting a post 2 and a cross member 3 there is shown a connecting piece 1 for connecting a post 2 and a cross member 3.
  • fence must be understood as an object constituting a material boundary separating two spaces.
  • the connecting piece 1 comes, for example, to be fixed on the bottom 4 of the rabbet by means of a rivet or a bolt passing through a bore.
  • This connecting piece comprises, on the one hand, a means 6 for attachment to a pole and, on the other hand, a male portion 7 intended to be housed in the tubular end of a cross member.
  • the male part 7 of this connecting piece thus has an interlocking axis 8.
  • this interlocking axis 8 is perpendicular to the bottom 4 of the rabbet.
  • the cross member which fits on this connecting piece 1 is a tube comprising, generally, at least two parallel faces such as a tube of square or rectangular section.
  • the crossbar can therefore pivot relative to the pivot line
  • the spacing between the generators is, at the operating clearance, that between the inner faces of the tubes sliding on it.
  • the lower guide faces 50A, 50B and 60A, 60B are, in one embodiment, planar faces and, in another embodiment, curved faces.
  • the tilting axes materialize the contact between the guide faces when the crossbar is horizontal.
  • the upper faces are presented as the two inclined planes of a roof.
  • This connecting piece therefore comprises means for orienting the cross member in a vertical plane without articulation by means of stripped faces.
  • the point of rotation of this ray is the pivot line 10.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to rotate the crossbar horizontally around the pivot line while benefiting from the interlocking assembly.
  • the inner faces of the cross member are guided by the two upper 9 and lower 90 faces, the pivot line 10 and a generatrix of the curved face 11.
  • the generator of the curved face 11 is a line or a curve.
  • the interlock is sufficient to hold the panel provided with the cross member.
  • the curved portion 11 is extended by a right plane 12 said angular limit plane.
  • This right plane determines the limit of rotation of the cross member with respect to the interlocking axis 8.
  • a notch 13 which, of a on the other hand, facilitates the horizontal movement of the cross member and, secondly, serves to wedge the cross laterally in cooperation with the right plane 12 said angular limit extending the face 11 curve.
  • the notch 13 Vee is therefore delimited by a plane 13A and, in this case, by a curved area 13B.
  • the curved zone 13B serves as stop stop for the interlocking.
  • this curved area serves as a fulcrum at the end of the crossbar.
  • the horizontal pivot line is at a distance from the end of the nested cross member. There is a minimum interlocking area irrespective of the angle formed by the crossmember with the interlocking axis up to the angular limit defined by the right plane 12.
  • the connecting piece On the opposite side to that having the notch and substantially at the same level, the connecting piece has a plane 14 right said proximal plane parallel to the axis 8 of interlocking.
  • Such a piece allows to horizontally orient the crossbar in a half space.
  • connection piece of one hundred eighty degrees around its interlocking axis.
  • the piece could be symmetrical, that is to say present two curved sides however the quality of the nesting would be less favorable.
  • the edges of the connecting piece are optionally chamfered.
  • the connecting piece may comprise a base 16 to separate the pivot line 10 from the bearing surface of the connecting piece so as not to be impeded by the lateral wings of the rabbet.
  • the thickness of the base 16 is determined according to the depth of the rabbet and the ratio between the width of the rebate and that of the crossbar.
  • This piece can be obtained by molding or machining where a reduced cost.
  • It may be made of metallic material or composite material or any other material preferably slightly corrodible.
  • the installation of the fence is done as follows.
  • the connecting pieces are fixed on the posts and then a first post is positioned.
  • the crossmembers of the panel are fitted on the connecting pieces of the first post.
  • the panel is oriented and the connecting pieces of a second post are fitted on the other end of the panel and the post is fixed and so on.
  • a groove 80 is provided to center the self-drilling screw.
  • a channel 85 for discharging the condensation formed inside the tube which flows through a notch 81 formed for example at the base.
  • Slight longitudinal ribs 82 on the lateral faces facilitate the sliding of the male part.
  • Recesses allow to reduce the material and the deformation at the outlet of the mold.
  • the generatrices 100 and 101 of the upper 9 and lower 90 faces each define a face 9, 90 planar. These faces 9, 90 are then parallel.
