Description

La présente invention se rapporte à l'assemblage d'un poteau de support disposé à proximité de la jonction entre deux éléments de remplissage consécutifs d'un garde-corps, dont les plans forment entre eux un angle donné, et concerne plus particulièrement un dispositif qui permet d'assurer le montage et la liaison entre ce poteau et ces éléments.The present invention relates to the assembly of a support post disposed near the junction between two consecutive filler elements of a railing, whose planes form between them a given angle, and more particularly relates to a device which makes it possible to ensure the assembly and the connection between this post and these elements.

On connaît déjà de nombreuses réalisations de garde-corps, c'est-à-dire d'une structure érigée au-dessus d'une surface d'appui au sol, généralement horizontale, du genre terrasse, balcon ou similaire, en vue d'assurer une protection vis-à-vis du vide présent à l'extérieur de cette structure.Many railings are already known, that is to say of a structure erected above a ground support surface, generally horizontal, of the terrace, balcony or similar kind, with a view to provide protection against the vacuum present outside this structure.

Ces garde-corps sont usuellement constitués au moyen d'un ensemble de poteaux verticaux, ancrés ou autrement fixés au sol, espacés les uns des autres selon la dimension transversale de la zone à protéger et entre lesquels sont montés des éléments de remplissage comportant principalement des panneaux plats, transparents ou non, fixés latéralement aux poteaux et délimités de façon classique, en partie haute et basse, par des lisses parallèles au sol, les extrémités supérieures des poteaux étant réunies par une main courante, également horizontale.These railings are usually constituted by means of a set of vertical poles, anchored or otherwise fixed to the ground, spaced from one another according to the transverse dimension of the zone to be protected and between which are mounted filling elements mainly comprising flat panels, transparent or not, fixed laterally to the posts and delimited in a conventional manner, in the upper and lower part, by smooth parallel to the ground, the upper ends of the posts being joined by a handrail, also horizontal.

Ces garde-corps forment ainsi un ensemble sensiblement continu, disposé au voisinage du bord de la surface d'appui au sol pour constituer une barrière de protection, cette dernière pouvant cependant présenter des changements de direction pour suivre le profil extérieur de cette surface, auquel cas les plans de deux panneaux consécutifs des éléments de remplissage forment entre eux un angle déterminé, imposé par construction.These railings thus form a substantially continuous assembly, disposed near the edge of the ground support surface to form a protective barrier, the latter may, however, have changes of direction to follow the outer profile of this surface, to which cases the planes of two consecutive panels of the filling elements form between them a determined angle, imposed by construction.

Dans les réalisations classiques de garde-corps, pour pouvoir accommoder les retours d'angle de ce genre, on utilise, au voisinage de l'angle formé par deux éléments de remplissage successifs, non situés dans le même plan, deux poteaux de support verticaux distincts, associés respectivement à l'un et à l'autre des panneaux de ces éléments, ce qui constitue une solution peu esthétique.In conventional railing constructions, in order to accommodate angle returns of this kind, two vertical support posts are used in the vicinity of the angle formed by two successive filling elements not located in the same plane. separate, respectively associated with the one and the other of the panels of these elements, which constitutes an unsightly solution.

En outre ces poteaux, associés respectivement aux deux éléments de remplissage et qui sont nécessairement disposés de part et d'autre du sommet de l'angle formé par les deux panneaux correspondants et à la jonction de ceux-ci comme en partie courante du garde-corps, ont un prix de revient plus élevé du fait en particulier du doublement du nombre des pièces nécessaires.Moreover, these posts, respectively associated with the two filling elements and which are necessarily arranged on either side of the vertex of the angle formed by the two corresponding panels and at the junction of these as part of the current guard body, have a higher cost due in particular to the doubling of the number of parts required.

L'invention vise à réaliser l'assemblage entre un poteau de support unique, identique à ceux utilisés en partie courante mais disposé à proximité immédiate de l'angle formé par deux éléments de remplissage consécutifs d'un garde-corps, grâce à un dispositif simple et peu onéreux, facile à monter et assurant une liaison sûre et efficace.The invention aims to achieve the assembly between a single support post, identical to those used in the current portion but disposed in the immediate vicinity of the angle formed by two consecutive filling elements of a railing, with a device simple and inexpensive, easy to assemble and ensuring a safe and effective connection.

A cet effet, le dispositif de liaison considéré, entre un poteau vertical de support pour deux éléments de remplissage consécutifs d'un garde-corps, s'étendant symétriquement l'un de l'autre de part et d'autre du poteau et dont les plans verticaux forment entre eux un angle donné dont le sommet est disposé au voisinage immédiat de ce poteau, chaque élément de remplissage comportant un panneau plat, transparent ou non, coiffé selon chacune de ses arêtes respectivement supérieure et inférieure par des profilés creux formant des lisses horizontales, le positionnement de ces lisses étant symétrique par rapport à un plan qui contient la bissectrice de l'angle formé par les deux éléments de remplissage au droit du poteau vertical, se caractérise en ce qu'il comporte une première bride, de forme générale triangulaire, dont l'angle au sommet est égal à celui formé par les deux éléments de remplissage, cette première bride présentant deux portées d'appui, respectivement pour chacune des lisses en regard de ces deux éléments et, à l'opposé, une surface de contact avec le poteau vertical, une seconde bride présentant une ouverture centrale propre à entourer latéralement le poteau vertical, cette seconde bride comportant deux extensions frontales adaptées à s'engager dans des rainures ouvertes prévues dans les profilés creux coiffant les panneaux des éléments de remplissage pour solidariser ces lisses de cette seconde bride, et des moyens de serrage mutuel des deux brides l'une contre l'autre afin de bloquer simultanément entre elles, d'une part le poteau vertical en contact avec la surface de contact de la première bride et, d'autre part, les lisses des panneaux solidarisées avec la seconde bride par ses extensions frontales.For this purpose, the connecting device considered, between a vertical support post for two consecutive filling elements of a railing, extending symmetrically from one another on either side of the post and the vertical planes form between them a given angle whose apex is arranged in the immediate vicinity of this post, each filling element comprising a flat panel, transparent or not, capped at each of its respective upper and lower edges by hollow sections forming horizontal bars, the positioning of these rails being symmetrical with respect to a plane which contains the bisector of the angle formed by the two filling elements in line with the vertical post, is characterized in that it comprises a first flange, of generally triangular shape, whose angle at the top is equal to that formed by the two filling elements, this first flange having two bearing surfaces, respectively for each of the smooth opposite these two elements and, on the opposite side, a contact surface with the vertical post, a second flange having a central opening adapted to laterally surround the vertical post, the second flange having two front extensions adapted to engage in open grooves provided in the hollow sections covering the panels of the filling elements to secure the rails of the second flange , and mutual clamping means of the two flanges against each other to block simultaneously between them, on the one hand the vertical pole in contact with the contact surface of the first flange and, secondly, the smooth panels secured to the second flange by its front extensions.

De préférence, chacun des profilés creux formant les lisses horizontales comporte une seconde rainure ouverte, parallèle à celle qui reçoit une extension de la seconde bride, cette seconde rainure accommodant l'arête du panneau coiffé par ce profilé.Preferably, each of the hollow sections forming the horizontal rails comprises a second open groove, parallel to that which receives an extension of the second flange, this second groove accommodating the edge of the panel capped by this section.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, les rainures ouvertes des profilés creux formant les lisses horizontales, recevant les extensions frontales de la seconde bride, comportent des doigts de blocage, coopérant avec des gorges d'ancrage ménagées dans ces extensions afin de les immobiliser mutuellement ensemble.According to a particular characteristic, the open grooves of the hollow sections forming the horizontal rails, receiving the front extensions of the second flange, comprise locking fingers cooperating with anchoring grooves formed in these extensions in order to immobilize them. mutually together.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique, l'ouverture centrale de la seconde bride comporte deux rebords en saillie, propres à se disposer dans des parties en retrait prévues de chaque côté du poteau vertical afin de se positionner vis-à-vis de ce poteau selon la bissectrice de l'angle formé par les deux éléments de remplissage.According to yet another characteristic, the central opening of the second flange comprises two protruding flanges, adapted to be arranged in recessed portions provided on each side of the vertical post so as to be positioned with respect to this post according to the bisector of the angle formed by the two filling elements.

Avantageusement, le poteau vertical présente une section droite en I, les parties en retrait étant formées entre la branche centrale du I et ses branches transversales.Advantageously, the vertical post has a cross section at I, the recessed portions being formed between the central branch of the I and its transverse branches.

Selon une autre caractéristique, les moyens de serrage mutuel des deux brides sont constitués par deux vis de blocage coopérant respectivement avec deux perçages filetés ménagés dans la seconde bride, l'extrémité de ces vis venant en appui contre les parties en retrait ménagées de chaque côté de la branche centrale du I poteau vertical, lui-même en appui par une de ses branches transversales sur la surface de contact avec la première bride.According to another characteristic, the mutual clamping means of the two flanges are constituted by two locking screws cooperating respectively with two threaded holes formed in the second flange, the end of these screws bearing against the recessed parts formed on each side. of the central branch of the vertical post I, itself supported by one of its transverse branches on the contact surface with the first flange.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, les plans des panneaux des deux éléments de remplissage forment entre eux un angle de 90°, le poteau vertical étant symétriquement disposé selon la bissectrice de cet angle.In a preferred embodiment, the planes of the panels of the two filling elements form between them an angle of 90 °, the vertical post being symmetrically disposed along the bisector of this angle.

D'autres caractéristiques d'un dispositif de liaison établi conformément à l'invention, apparaîtront encore à travers la description qui suit d'un exemple de réalisation, donné à titre indicatif et non limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés selon lesquels :

  • La Figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective d'un garde-corps, comportant un poteau d'angle vertical, unique, propre à assurer la liaison avec deux éléments de remplissage extérieurs faisant entre eux un angle de 90°.
  • La Figure 2 est une vue en perspective partielle d'un poteau vertical et des moyens de liaison de celui-ci avec les lisses coiffant des panneaux plats appartenant aux éléments de remplissage du garde-corps, disposés de part et d'autre du poteau, comme illustré sur la Figure 1.
  • La Figure 3 est une vue en coupe transversale, à plus grande échelle, des deux brides entrant dans la réalisation des moyens de liaison.
  • La Figure 4 est une en perspective du montage réalisé à l'aide des deux brides.
Other characteristics of a connecting device established in accordance with the invention will become apparent from the following description of an exemplary embodiment, given by way of non-limiting indication, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a guardrail, comprising a single vertical angle post, adapted to ensure the connection with two external fillers making an angle of 90 ° between them.
  • FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view of a vertical post and means for connecting it with the smoothing plates of the flat panels belonging to the filler elements of the railing, arranged on either side of the post, as shown in Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view, on a larger scale, of the two flanges involved in the realization of the connecting means.
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of the assembly made using the two flanges.

Sur la Figure 1, la référence 1 désigne dans son ensemble, un garde-corps érigé verticalement au bord extérieur d'une structure d'appui au sol 2, le plus généralement horizontale, d'une terrasse, balcon ou autre construction similaire, afin de protéger les personnes ou les objets qui se trouvent sur cette dernière et notamment les empêcher de tomber dans le vide existant au-delà de ce bord.In FIG. 1, the reference 1 designates, as a whole, a railing erected vertically at the outer edge of a ground support structure 2, the most generally horizontal, of a terrace, balcony or other similar construction, so that to protect people or objects on the latter and in particular to prevent them from falling into the void existing beyond this edge.

De façon classique, ce garde-corps 1 est constitué au moyen de poteaux verticaux 3, convenablement espacés de l'un à l'autre selon la longueur du garde-corps, chacun de ces poteaux étant directement ancré à sa partie inférieure dans la surface d'appui 2 ou coopérant avec un piétement 4, solidarisé de cette dernière.Conventionally, this railing 1 is constituted by means of vertical posts 3, suitably spaced from one to the other along the length of the railing, each of these posts being directly anchored to its lower part in the surface support 2 or cooperating with a base 4, secured to the latter.

Entre deux poteaux verticaux 3 successifs, le garde-corps 1 comporte des éléments de remplissage 5, qui peuvent être constitués de la manière illustrée sur la Figure 1, ou bien présenter un agencement matériellement différent d'une réalisation à l'autre.Between two successive vertical posts 3, the railing 1 comprises filling elements 5, which may be constituted as illustrated in FIG. 1, or may have a layout that is materially different from one embodiment to the other.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, chaque élément de remplissage 5 comporte, de la manière la plus simple, un panneau central plat 6, de préférence réalisé en un matériau transparent, notamment en matière plastique ou en verre résistant, ce panneau formant une surface sensiblement continue entre deux poteaux verticaux 3 consécutifs dans le garde-corps, chaque panneau 6 étant solidarisé de ces poteaux selon leurs côtés latéraux par des moyens appropriés (non représentés sur la figure) qui n'importent pas à la présente invention lorsqu'ils assurent la liaison des poteaux et des panneaux dans la partie courante et droite du garde-corps.In the embodiment shown, each filling element 5 comprises, in the simplest manner, a flat central panel 6, of preferably made of a transparent material, in particular of plastic or resistant glass, this panel forming a substantially continuous surface between two consecutive vertical posts 3 in the railing, each panel 6 being secured to these posts along their lateral sides by means appropriate (not shown in the figure) that do not matter to the present invention when they ensure the connection of the poles and panels in the current part and right of the railing.

De façon également classique, chaque panneau 6 d'un élément de remplissage 5 est délimité, selon ses bords supérieur et inférieur, par des lisses horizontales, respectivement 7 et 8, qui s'étendent ainsi parallèlement à la surface d'appui au sol 2 et qui sont avantageusement constituées ici par des profilés métalliques creux venant coiffer les arêtes formant les bords d'extrémité correspondants du panneau 6.Also conventionally, each panel 6 of a filling element 5 is delimited, according to its upper and lower edges, by horizontal rails, 7 and 8, respectively, which thus extend parallel to the ground support surface 2 and which are advantageously constituted here by hollow metal profiles which cap the edges forming the corresponding end edges of the panel 6.

Enfin, le garde-corps comporte comme il est usuel, une main courante 9, schématiquement illustrée sur le dessin, qui s'étend tout le long du garde-corps et s'adapte sur la partie supérieure des divers poteaux verticaux 3, au-dessus des lisses 7 délimitant les bords supérieurs des panneaux 6.Finally, the guardrail comprises as usual a handrail 9, schematically illustrated in the drawing, which extends all along the railing and fits on the upper part of the various vertical posts 3, above the slats 7 delimiting the upper edges of the panels 6.

Selon les besoins, le garde-corps ainsi constitué peut être agencé de telle sorte que deux de ses panneaux successifs 6, appartenant à deux éléments de remplissage 5 consécutifs, soient disposés, non pas dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre pour se situer dans un plan vertical commun, mais soient orientés de sorte que ces panneaux forment entre eux un angle donné, imposé par le contour extérieur de la surface d'appui au sol 2, au droit duquel est érigé le garde-corps.As required, the railing thus formed can be arranged so that two of its successive panels 6, belonging to two consecutive filling elements 5, are arranged, not in the extension of one another to lie in a common vertical plane, but are oriented so that these panels form between them a given angle, imposed by the outer contour of the ground support surface 2, on the right of which is erected the guardrail.

L'invention concerne les moyens qui permettent d'assurer le positionnement relatif et la fixation de deux panneaux 6 consécutifs avec un poteau vertical 3 unique, lorsque les plans de ces panneaux forment entre eux un angle déterminé dont la valeur est en elle-même indifférente, ce poteau unique étant disposé au voisinage immédiat de l'angle ainsi formé et présentant une structure propre strictement identique à celle des autres poteaux utilisés dans la partie courante du garde-corps,The invention relates to the means which make it possible to ensure the relative positioning and the fixing of two consecutive panels 6 with a single vertical post 3, when the planes of these panels form between them a determined angle whose value is in itself indifferent. , this single post being disposed in the immediate vicinity of the angle thus formed and having a clean structure strictly identical to that of the other posts used in the current part of the railing,

Notamment si, comme dans l'exemple plus spécialement considéré et représenté sur la Figure 1, les panneaux plats 6 des deux éléments de remplissage 5 consécutifs du garde-corps forment entre eux un angle de 90°, l'invention ne se limite nullement à une telle disposition angulaire, mais peut s'adapter à toute autre valeur de cet angle avec de simples modifications de la forme des pièces mises en oeuvre, telles que décrites ci-après, pour réaliser la liaison entre le poteau vertical et ces panneaux.In particular, if, as in the example especially considered and shown in FIG. 1, the flat panels 6 of the two consecutive filler elements 5 of the railing form between them an angle of 90 °, the invention is not limited in any way to such an angular disposition, but can adapt to any other value of this angle with simple changes in the shape of the parts used, as described below, to achieve the connection between the vertical post and these panels.

Les Figures 2, 3 et 4 illustrent, à plus grande échelle, le détail de la réalisation des moyens de liaison entre le poteau 3 et les panneaux 6 de deux éléments de remplissage 5 consécutifs, au droit d'un angle formé par ces panneaux à l'intérieur du garde-corps 1.Figures 2, 3 and 4 illustrate, on a larger scale, the detail of the embodiment of the connection means between the post 3 and the panels 6 of two consecutive filling elements 5, at an angle formed by these panels to inside the railing 1.

Sur ces figures, on retrouve le poteau vertical 3 qui, dans l'exemple considéré, est constitué par un élément métallique dont la section droite épouse sensiblement celle d'un I avec une branche centrale 10 et deux branches transversales d'extrémité, respectivement 11 et 12.In these figures, there is the vertical post 3 which, in the example considered, is constituted by a metal element whose cross section substantially matches that of an I with a central branch 10 and two transverse end branches, respectively 11 and 12.

Sur le dessin, apparaissent également les lisses horizontales supérieures 7 de deux éléments consécutifs 5 dans le garde-corps formant entre eux un angle ici à 90°, ces lisses étant conformées de manière à ce que leurs extrémités 13, découpées en onglet, puissent s'abouter mutuellement dans l'angle formé, selon le plan bissecteur de cet angle qui constitue également un plan de symétrie pour le poteau vertical 3.In the drawing, also appear the upper horizontal rails 7 of two consecutive elements 5 in the railing forming between them an angle here at 90 °, these smooth being shaped so that their ends 13, cut in miter, can abut each other in the angle formed, according to the bisecting plane of this angle which also constitutes a plane of symmetry for the vertical post 3.

Chacune des lisses 7 est formée par un profilé métallique creux, en aluminium ou autre matériau approprié, et comporte intérieurement deux rainures, respectivement 14 et 15, parallèles l'une et l'autre, la rainure 15, disposée vers l'extérieur de la lisse par rapport au poteau vertical 3, étant aménagée pour recevoir l'arête supérieure du panneau plat 6 qui coopère avec cette lisse dans l'un ou l'autre des deux éléments de remplissage consécutifs 5 du garde-corps.Each of the slats 7 is formed by a hollow metal section, made of aluminum or other suitable material, and has two mutually parallel grooves 14 and 15, the groove 15, disposed towards the outside of the groove. smooth with respect to the vertical post 3, being arranged to receive the upper edge of the flat panel 6 which cooperates with this rail in one or the other of the two consecutive filling elements 5 of the guardrail.

Des dispositions identiques sont prévues pour les lisses horizontales 8 qui recouvrent de la même manière l'arête inférieure du même panneau 6, ces lisses n'étant pas représentées sur les figures pour ne pas surcharger le dessin.Identical arrangements are provided for the horizontal rails 8 which similarly cover the lower edge of the same panel 6, these rails are not shown in the figures to avoid overloading the drawing.

Le positionnement et l'immobilisation des lisses horizontales 7 et 8 qui sont ainsi solidaires des panneaux 6 dans les deux éléments 5 vis-à-vis du poteau vertical 3, s'effectuent, au niveau de chacune de ces lisses, par un dispositif de liaison établi conformément à l'invention et désigné dans son ensemble sur les Figures 2 à 4 sous la référence 16.The positioning and immobilization of the horizontal rails 7 and 8 which are thus integral with the panels 6 in the two elements 5 vis-à-vis the vertical post 3, are effected, at each of these smooth, by a device of link established in accordance with the invention and designated as a whole in Figures 2 to 4 under the reference 16.

Ce dispositif comporte essentiellement deux brides de fixation désignées respectivement sous les références 17 pour la première et 18 pour la seconde.This device essentially comprises two fixing clamps designated respectively under the references 17 for the first and 18 for the second.

La première bride 17 présente, comme illustré sur la Figure 3, une section triangulaire dont l'angle au sommet est égal à celui des deux éléments de remplissage 5 du garde-corps.The first flange 17 has, as illustrated in FIG. 3, a triangular section whose apex angle is equal to that of the two elements. filling 5 of the railing.

Les faces correspondantes 19 et 20 de cette première bride 17 constituent des portées d'appui planes pour les bords extérieurs des profilés métalliques formant les lisses horizontales supérieures 7 des panneaux 6 des deux éléments de remplissage 5, à solidariser du poteau vertical 3 disposé dans l'angle formé par ces lisses.The corresponding faces 19 and 20 of this first flange 17 constitute flat bearing surfaces for the outer edges of the metal profiles forming the upper horizontal rails 7 of the panels 6 of the two filler elements 5, to be secured to the vertical post 3 disposed in the angle formed by these smooth.

La bride 17 comporte par ailleurs, à l'opposé des portées planes 19 et 20, une surface de contact 21 avec le poteau vertical 3, et dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté, avec la branche transversale 12 de ce poteau qui peut ainsi être étroitement appliqué contre la bride.The flange 17 furthermore has, in contrast to the flat bearing surfaces 19 and 20, a contact surface 21 with the vertical post 3, and in the embodiment shown, with the transverse branch 12 of this post which can thus be tightly applied against the bridle.

La seconde bride 18 présente une ouverture centrale 22, de telle sorte qu'elle puisse entourer partiellement le poteau vertical 3, cette ouverture comportant des rebords en saillie 50, propres à se disposer derrière des parties en creux du poteau vertical 3.The second flange 18 has a central opening 22, so that it can partially surround the vertical post 3, this opening having protruding flanges 50, adapted to be disposed behind the recessed portions of the vertical post 3.

Cette seconde bride 18 se prolonge par une surface médiane 23 (Figure 2) sur laquelle sont venues de fabrication ou autrement rapportées et fixées, notamment par soudure ou autre procédé approprié, deux extensions frontales 24 dont les directions respectives forment entre elles le même angle que les lisses 7, de sorte que ces extensions puissent se loger dans les rainures 14 de ces dernières en se disposant ainsi parallèlement aux panneaux 6 dont les arêtes des bords supérieurs pénètrent eux-mêmes dans les autres rainures 15 de ces lisses, comme décrit précédemment.This second flange 18 is extended by a median surface 23 (FIG. 2) on which manufacture or otherwise reported and fixed, in particular by welding or other suitable method, two end extensions 24 whose respective directions form the same angle as the slats 7, so that these extensions can be housed in the grooves 14 of the latter thus standing parallel to the panels 6 whose edges of the upper edges themselves enter the other grooves 15 of these smooth, as described above.

La seconde bride 18 comporte une surface d'appui 23 à partir de laquelle s'étendent les extensions 24, chacune de celles-ci comportant une gorge d'ancrage 25. La lisse 7 est munie d'un doigt 26 prévu dans le bord de la rainure 14, qui s'engage dans cette gorge afin de bloquer étroitement la lisse vis-à-vis de l'extension et par suite de la seconde bride 18, en évitant que les éléments de remplissage ne puissent s'arracher du montage lors de chocs éventuels.The second flange 18 has a bearing surface 23 from which extend the extensions 24, each of which has an anchor groove 25. The heal 7 is provided with a finger 26 provided in the edge of the groove 14, which engages in this groove in order to tightly block the rail against the extension and as a result of the second flange 18, avoiding that the filling elements can tear off the assembly during possible shocks.

La seconde bride 18 comporte enfin, comme on le voit de façon détaillée sur la Figure 3, deux perçages filetés 27, ménagés dans des positions symétriques l'une de l'autre par rapport au poteau vertical et recevant des vis de serrage 28.The second flange 18 finally comprises, as can be seen in detail in FIG. 3, two threaded holes 27, formed in positions symmetrical to each other with respect to the vertical post and receiving clamping screws 28.

Ces vis 28 comportent chacune une empreinte axiale 29 pour une clé de commande (non représentée) permettant leur vissage dans les perçages 27, de sorte que leurs extrémités viennent en appui contre les parties en retrait 30 ménagées de chaque côté de la branche centrale 12 du I du poteau vertical 3.These screws 28 each comprise an axial recess 29 for a control key (not shown) allowing them to be screwed into the bores 27, so that their ends bear against the recessed portions 30 formed on each side of the central branch 12 of the I vertical post 3.

Les Figures 2 et 3 permettent de comprendre immédiatement le montage et la mise en oeuvre des deux brides pour assurer l'immobilisation des lisses 7 (ou 8) supportant les panneaux 6 des éléments de remplissage 5 avec le poteau vertical 3.Figures 2 and 3 make it possible to immediately understand the assembly and implementation of the two flanges to ensure the immobilization of the smooth 7 (or 8) supporting the panels 6 of the filling elements 5 with the vertical post 3.

La seconde bride 18 entourant le poteau 3 est rendue solidaire des deux lisses à immobiliser, en engageant ses extensions 24 dans les rainures 14 de ces lisses, avec blocage de ces dernières grâce à l'engagement des doigts 26 dans les gorges d'ancrage 25 de ces extensions.The second flange 18 surrounding the post 3 is made integral with the two smooth to immobilize, by engaging its extensions 24 in the grooves 14 of these smooth, with locking of the latter through the engagement of the fingers 26 in the anchoring grooves 25 of these extensions.

La première bride 17 est simultanément montée en appui contre le poteau vertical 3 par sa face de contact 21, les lisses étant ensuite appliquées contre ses portées d'appui 19 et 20.The first flange 17 is simultaneously mounted in abutment against the vertical post 3 by its contact face 21, the rails then being applied against its bearing surfaces 19 and 20.

Les vis de serrage 28 sont alors manoeuvrées dans les passages filetés 27 de la bride 18, jusqu'à ce que, par appui de leurs extrémités sur le poteau 3, elles provoquent le rapprochement simultané des deux brides 17 et 18 et le serrage mutuel entre elles du poteau 3, jusqu'à blocage en position des deux lisses solidaires de la seconde bride.The clamping screws 28 are then manipulated in the threaded passages 27 of the flange 18, until, by pressing their ends on the post 3, they cause the simultaneous approximation of the two flanges 17 and 18 and the mutual interlocking of the pole 3, until locking in position of the two smooth integral with the second flange.

La Figure 4 illustre la position finale des divers éléments qui constituent le dispositif selon l'invention, avec les deux brides mutuellement bloquées ensemble, en immobilisant le poteau vertical 3 sur les lisses portant les panneaux 6 des éléments de remplissage 5.FIG. 4 illustrates the final position of the various elements that constitute the device according to the invention, with the two flanges mutually locked together, by immobilizing the vertical post 3 on the heddles carrying the panels 6 of the filling elements 5.

On réalise ainsi un dispositif très simple qui permet, avec un nombre de pièces très réduit, de relier ces éléments de remplissage consécutifs avec un poteau unique disposé dans l'angle formé par les panneaux de ces éléments, ce poteau étant strictement identique à ceux utilisés en partie courante du garde-corps.A very simple device is thus produced which makes it possible, with a very small number of parts, to connect these consecutive filling elements with a single post arranged in the angle formed by the panels of these elements, this post being strictly identical to those used. in the running part of the railing.

Bien entendu, il va de soi que l'invention ne se limite pas à l'exemple de réalisation plus spécialement décrit ci-dessus et représenté sur les dessins annexés ; elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes.Of course, it goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment more specifically described above and shown in the accompanying drawings; on the contrary, it embraces all variants.
