Definitions

  • 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.
  • a device according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US Patent 3333823 .
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the reference 1 designates as a whole, a guardrail erected vertically to the outer edge of a ground support structure 2, the most generally horizontal, of a terrace, balcony or other similar construction, in order to protect the persons or the objects that are on the latter and in particular to prevent them from falling into the void existing beyond this edge.
  • 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.
  • the railing 1 comprises filling elements 5, which can be constituted in the manner illustrated in FIG. Figure 1 or to present a materially different arrangement from one embodiment to another.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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,
  • the flat panels 6 of the two consecutive filler elements 5 of the railing form an angle of 90 ° between them
  • the invention is not limited to such an angular disposition, but can be adapted 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.
  • FIGS. 2 , 3 and 4 illustrate, on a larger scale, the detail of the realization of the connection means between the post 3 and the panels 6 of two consecutive filling elements 5, at the right of an angle formed by these panels inside the railing 1.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • This device essentially comprises two fixing clamps designated respectively under the references 17 for the first and 18 for the second.
  • the first flange 17 has, as illustrated on the Figure 3 , a triangular section whose angle at the top is equal to that of the two elements filling 5 of the railing.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • This second flange 18 is extended by a median surface 23 ( Figure 2 ) on which have been manufactured or otherwise reported and fixed, in particular by welding or other suitable method, two frontal extensions 24 whose respective directions form between them the same angle as the smooth 7, so that these extensions can be housed in the grooves 14 of the latter thus standing parallel to the panels 6, the edges of the upper edges penetrate themselves into the other grooves 15 of these smooth, as described above.
  • 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.
  • the second flange 18 finally comprises, as seen in detail on the Figure 3 two threaded holes 27, arranged in positions symmetrical to each other with respect to the vertical post and receiving clamping screws 28.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the Figure 4 illustrates the final position of the various elements constituting the device according to the invention, with the two flanges mutually locked together, by immobilizing the vertical post 3 on the rails carrying the panels 6 of the filling elements 5.
  • 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.
