Abstract

The clip (3) has a support face (4) that is supported on a bottom (20) of a U shaped groove of a post. A passage (5) receives a unit that traverses the clip and the bottom of the groove. Slots permit the clip to enclose a vertical end wire and place the face in contact with the bottom. Metallic fins are spaced progressively from the support face towards an opposite face, and define a V shape whose opening is elastically deformable such that free ends of the fins cooperate with stops (10) of lateral fins (11) of grooves (1A, 1B) for temporarily anchoring the clip in the stops. An independent claim is also included for a fence constituted of panels whose ends are engaged in a groove of a post and comprising a fence panel`s vertical end wire maintenance clip.

Description

L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif de fixation d'un panneau de clôture dans une feuillure d'un poteau.The invention relates to a device for fixing a fence panel in a rabbet of a pole.

Elle se rapporte également à la clôture pourvue de ladite fixation.It also relates to the fence provided with said attachment.

La réalisation d'une clôture se fait de différentes manières et plus particulièrement à l'aide de poteaux et de panneaux rigides. Ces panneaux rigides sont formés de fils verticaux et horizontaux soudés à leurs intersections.The realization of a fence is done in different ways and more particularly with the help of poles and rigid panels. These rigid panels are formed of vertical and horizontal son welded at their intersections.

Souvent une ou plusieurs nervures horizontales ou verticales procurent une meilleure rigidité au panneau.Often one or more horizontal or vertical ribs provide greater rigidity to the panel.

Ces poteaux présentent une section en H délimitant ainsi deux feuillures opposées. Pour la pose, on commence par poser un poteau puis on engage l'extrémité d'un panneau dans une feuillure et on fixe provisoirement le panneau sur le fond de la feuillure avec une seule bride traversée par un boulon prenant appui au moins indirectement sur la face opposé au fond de la feuillure. On continue ainsi de suite. Soit en fin de journée ou soit lorsque l'ensemble des poteaux et panneaux sont mis en place ou en temps masqué, on vient compléter la fixation des panneaux à l'aide d'autres brides suivant le nombre de brides préconisées pour la résistance de la clôture. Ce principe de pose à l'avancement est illustré à la figure 1.These posts have a section in H thus delimiting two opposite rabbets. For the installation, we first put a pole and then the end of a panel is engaged in a rabbet and temporarily fixed the panel on the bottom of the rebate with a single flange through which a bolt bearing at least indirectly on the opposite side at the bottom of the rabbet. We continue and so on. Either at the end of the day or when all the columns and panels are put in place or in masked time, we complete the fixing of the panels using other flanges according to the number of flanges recommended for the resistance of the fenced. This layering principle is shown in Figure 1.

Il est, par exemple, préconisé quatre brides pour un panneau de deux mètres de haut.It is, for example, recommended four flanges for a panel two meters high.

Une telle clôture est décrite dans le document FR-A-2697565 .Such a fence is described in the document FR-A-2697565 .

La mise en place de la bride lors de la fixation provisoire puis la pose de ces brides complémentaires requiert un temps de pose non négligeable et une certaine habileté. En effet, le poseur doit placer sa bride devant le perçage, introduire la vis du boulon au travers de la bride et d'un perçage préalablement réalisé dans le fond de la feuillure, poser la seconde bride pour la feuillure opposée et toujours en maintenant les deux brides et les deux panneaux, il doit placer l'écrou sur cette vis et serrer l'ensemble.The installation of the flange during the provisional fixing and the installation of these additional flanges requires a non-negligible installation time and a certain skill. Indeed, the installer must place his flange in front of the hole, insert the bolt screw through the flange and a hole previously made in the bottom of the rabbet, put the second flange for the opposite rabbet and always keeping them in place. two flanges and the two panels, he must place the nut on this screw and tighten the assembly.

Comme généralement, il pose de l'ordre de quatre brides de chaque coté du panneau, la mise en place de ces brides pénalise le temps de pose. Comme on l'a dit précédemment la mise en place de la clôture est également ralentie en raison de la pose de la fixation provisoire.As generally, it poses the order of four flanges on each side of the panel, the establishment of these flanges penalizes the exposure time. As previously stated, the placement of the fence is also slowed down due to the installation of the provisional fixation.

De plus, le préposé doit se déplacer avec ses paquets d'accessoires (brides, vis et écrous).In addition, the attendant must move with his accessory packages (flanges, screws and nuts).

Il est connu de remplacer la bride par un clip élastique US 2526394 ou us 4132390 ou FR 2 698 417 qui est une lame d'acier ressort pliée de telle sorte que des ailes viennent s'engager derrières des butés que comporte les ailes latérales de la feuillure. Le dispositif est maintenu essentiellement par effet élastique du clip.It is known to replace the flange with an elastic clip US 2526394 or us 4132390 or FR 2,698,417 which is a spring steel blade folded so that wings are engaged behind the stops that includes the lateral wings of the rabbet. The device is maintained essentially by elastic effect of the clip.

Lorsque les panneaux sont soumis à des chocs, par exemple, dus à des frappes de ballon, le panneau vibre.When the panels are subjected to shocks, for example, due to balloon strikes, the panel vibrates.

Il en résulte un bruit désagréable ainsi qu'une usure localisée au niveau du contact entre le dispositif de fixation et le fil vertical du panneau qui est chevauché par le dit dispositif de fixation. Le revêtement peinture est alors attaqué.This results in an unpleasant noise and localized wear at the contact between the fixing device and the vertical wire of the panel which is overlapped by said fixing device. The paint coating is then attacked.

L'invention se propose de remédier notamment à ces problèmes.The invention proposes to remedy these problems in particular.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de fixation à lame métallique du fil extrême vertical d'un panneau en treillis sur le fond d'une feuillure en U d'un poteau, ce dispositif comprenant une face d'appui destinée à venir en regard du fond d'une feuillure d'un poteau, cette face d'appui présentant une gorge destinée à coiffer le fil vertical, ce dispositif étant caractérisée en ce qu'il comprend un corps en matériau plastique dans lequel est noyé la lame métallique dont une partie est externe audit corps pour former deux ailes de fixation élastique destinées à s'engager derrières des butés que présente la feuillure précitée.To this end, the subject of the invention is a device for fastening the vertical end wire of a lattice panel to the bottom of a U-shaped rebar of a post, said device comprising a bearing face next to the bottom of a rabbet of a post, this bearing face having a groove for capping the vertical wire, this device being characterized in that it comprises a body of plastic material in which is embedded the metal blade, a portion of which is external to said body to form two resilient fixing flanges intended to engage behind the abutments that has the aforementioned rabbet.

En se reportant au dessin, on voit que pour ériger une clôture on fait appel à des poteaux 1 et à des panneaux 2 en treillis soudé.Referring to the drawing, we see that to erect a fence is used poles 1 and panels 2 welded mesh.

Le panneau 2 est constitué de fils 2A verticaux et horizontaux 2B soudés à chaque intersection.Panel 2 consists of vertical and horizontal wires 2A 2B welded at each intersection.

Une ou plusieurs nervures horizontales obtenues par pliage du panneau peuvent contribuer à la rigidité dudit panneau.One or more horizontal ribs obtained by folding the panel can contribute to the rigidity of said panel.

Les poteaux présentent une section en H de manière à présenter deux feuillures 1A, 1B opposées. Bien évidemment, le poteau d'extrémité ou poteau d'angle pourrait ne présenter qu'une seule feuillure.The posts have an H section so as to have two opposite rabbets 1A, 1B. Of course, the end post or corner post may have only one rabbet.

Ces clôtures sont posées à l'avancement. C'est à dire : on pose un poteau, on positionne dans la feuillure l'extrémité verticale d'un panneau, on fixe le panneau provisoirement à l'aide d'un dispositif de fixation 3 à lame métallique, on positionne ensuite le deuxième poteau et on continue ainsi de suite.These fences are put in progress. That is to say: a post is placed, the vertical end of a panel is positioned in the rabbet, the panel is fixed temporarily with the aid of a fixing device 3 with a metal blade, the second pole and we continue so on.

Dans cette configuration, le panneau est simplement calé entre deux feuillures et maintenu par un seul dispositif 3.In this configuration, the panel is simply wedged between two rabbets and held by a single device 3.

Pour sa fixation définitive, on utilise donc une pluralité de dispositif répartis le long de l'axe longitudinal du poteau.For its final fixation, a plurality of devices are thus used distributed along the longitudinal axis of the post.

Ces dispositifs agissent comme une bride de maintien du fil extrême 2C vertical d'un panneau en treillis sur le fond d'une feuillure en U.These devices act as a retaining flange of the vertical end wire 2C of a lattice panel on the bottom of a U-shaped rabbet.

Ce dispositif de fixation comprend une face d'appui 4 destinée à venir en regard et éventuellement s'appuyer sur le fond d'une feuillure d'un poteau. Un passage 5 est souvent prévu pour recevoir un organe 6 traversant la bride et le fond 20 de la feuillure, cet organe étant destiné à fixer définitivement la bride dans le fond de la feuillure.This fixing device comprises a bearing surface 4 intended to come opposite and possibly bear against the bottom of a rabbet of a post. A passage 5 is often provided to receive a member 6 passing through the flange and the bottom 20 of the rabbet, this member being intended to permanently fix the flange in the bottom of the rabbet.

Une ou deux gorges 7 aménagées dans la face 4 d'appui permettent au dispositif de fixation de coiffer le fil vertical extrême et de placer la face d'appui de la bride en contact ou à faible distance du fond 20 de la feuillure.One or two grooves 7 arranged in the support surface 4 allow the fixing device to cover the extreme vertical thread and place the support face of the flange in contact or at a short distance from the bottom 20 of the rabbet.

Souvent, les sections des rainures sont différentes afin que le dispositif de fixation puisse être utilisé avec des panneaux dont les fils sont de diamètres différents, le diamètre du fil étant choisi selon la résistance voulue du panneau.Often, the sections of the grooves are different so that the fastener can be used with panels whose wires are of different diameters, the diameter of the wire being chosen according to the desired resistance of the panel.

Lorsque cette bride est posée, la face 4 d'appui est généralement en contact avec le fond de la feuillure au jeu de fonctionnement près.When this flange is placed, the bearing face 4 is generally in contact with the bottom of the groove to the operating clearance.

On voit très bien que selon la variante dessinée, le dispositif de fixation est posé provisoirement et n'appuie pas sur le fond de la feuillure (figure 5 ou 7) alors qu'en figure 6 ou 8 il est posé définitivement et appui sur le fond 20 de la feuillure. Dans cette version, les extrémités des ailes métalliques ne sont plus alors en contact avec les butés de la feuillure.We see very well that according to the variant drawn, the fixing device is placed temporarily and does not rest on the bottom of the rabbet (figure 5 or 7) whereas in figure 6 or 8 it is posed definitively and support on the bottom 20 of the rabbet. In this version, the ends of the metal wings are no longer in contact with the abutments of the rabbet.

Le dispositif de fixation comprend deux ailes 8 métalliques qui, s'écartant progressivement depuis sensiblement la face d'appui 4 vers la face 9 opposée de la bride, définissent un V dont l'ouverture est élastiquement déformable en sorte que les extrémités libres de ces dites ailes peuvent coopérer avec des butées 10 présentées par les ailes 11 latérales d'une feuillure 1A , 1B du poteau pour y ancrer la bride (figure 5).The fastening device comprises two metal flanges 8 which, progressively diverging from the bearing face 4 towards the opposite face 9 of the flange, define a V whose opening is elastically deformable so that the free ends of these flanges said wings can cooperate with stops 10 presented by the side wings 11 of a rabbet 1A, 1B of the pole to anchor the flange (Figure 5).

Le dispositif est éventuellement fixé par un organe 6 traversant (exemple de la figure 6).The device is possibly fixed by a through member 6 (example of Figure 6).

Ces ailes 8 s'élèvent depuis chacune des faces 12 latérales de la bride tournées vers les ailes 11 de la feuillure.These wings 8 rise from each of the lateral faces 12 of the flange facing the wings 11 of the rabbet.

Lorsque la bride n'est pas installée, la distance entre les extrémité du V est supérieure à la distance entre les deux ailes du U de la feuillure.When the flange is not installed, the distance between the end of the V is greater than the distance between the two wings of the U of the rabbet.

De part l'élasticité des ailes métalliques, il est possible de rapprocher les ailes du V et d'introduire la bride dans la feuillure et de positionner les extrémités libres de ces ailes derrière les butées 10 que présentent les ailes de la feuillure.Due to the elasticity of the metal wings, it is possible to bring the wings of the V and introduce the flange in the rebate and position the free ends of these wings behind the stops 10 that have the wings of the rabbet.

Selon le mode de fabrication du poteau, ces butées peuvent être obtenues par un bord rabattu ou par une nervure filée ou toute autres formes permettant de créer une butée empêchant le retrait de la bride.Depending on the method of manufacture of the post, these stops can be obtained by a folded edge or by a spun rib or any other form to create a stop preventing removal of the flange.

Ainsi, après avoir placé les poteaux et les panneaux au moyen du premier dispositif, le poseur de clôture pourra venir positionner ces dispositifs pour ensuite éventuellement venir fixer définitivement celles ci avec des boulons de sécurité avec écrous auto-cassants, des rivets ou un autre type d'organe traversant.Thus, after placing the posts and the panels by means of the first device, the fence installer can come to position these devices for eventually fix these permanently with safety bolts with self-breaking nuts, rivets or other type of through body.

Afin de faciliter la mise en place de l'organe traversant la section du passage 5 pour la vis 6 aménagé dans le dispositif est de dimension supérieure à celle nécessaire de sorte que le dispositif peut être mis en place sans respecter un alignement stricte du passage 5 avec le perçage 13 du fond de feuillure.In order to facilitate the introduction of the member passing through the section of the passage 5 for the screw 6 provided in the device is of larger size than necessary so that the device can be put in place without respecting a strict alignment of the passage 5 with the piercing 13 of the rabbet bottom.

Plus précisément, le passage 5 dans le dispositif est oblong avec le plus grand axe dans le sens de l'axe longitudinal du poteau, c'est à dire que lorsque le dispositif est posé provisoirement dans la feuillure le grand axe de la lumière oblong est aligné avec l'axe longitudinal du poteau. Par exemple, la longueur de la lumière suivant le grand axe est sensiblement égale à deux fois le diamètre de la vis. Cela permet de pré-percer les poteaux.More specifically, the passage 5 in the device is elongate with the largest axis in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the post, ie when the device is placed temporarily in the rabbet the major axis of the oblong light is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the pole. For example, the length of the light along the major axis is substantially equal to twice the diameter of the screw. This allows to pre-drill the posts.

L'entrée du passage réalisé dans le dispositif de fixation peut comporter une empreinte 14 apte à loger la tête de vis, cette empreinte comportant des butés calant en rotation la dite tête.The entrance of the passage made in the fixing device may include a cavity 14 adapted to house the screw head, this footprint having abutments rotating in rotation said head.

Les deux ailes 8 métalliques du dispositif de fixation sont les extrémités d'une lame métallique noyée dans le corps 3A en matériau plastique par exemple par surmoulage autour de la lame métallique ou par assemblage de deux parties complémentaires.The two metal wings 8 of the fixing device are the ends of a metal blade embedded in the body 3A of plastic material for example by overmolding around the metal blade or by assembling two complementary parts.

Pour conférer de l'élasticité aux deux ailes 8, on notera pour l'objet figurant sur les figures 2 à 10 que ces ailes sont raccordées à une partie centrale 8A parallèle à la face d'appui et éloignée de la dite face d'appui, le raccordement étant réalisé par des zones courbes dont une partie de ces zones 8B courbes est localisée à l'extérieur du corps 3A.To give elasticity to the two wings 8, it will be noted for the object shown in Figures 2 to 10 that these wings are connected to a central portion 8A parallel to the bearing face and away from said support face the connection being made by curved areas of which part of these curved zones 8B is located outside the body 3A.

Pour la figure 11, la lame est conformée différemment et comporte une arche coiffant le fil vertical.For Figure 11, the blade is shaped differently and has an arch capping the vertical wire.

Des découpes 16 dans la lame métallique permettent une bonne liaison entre cette lame et le matériau surmoulé qui sera de préférence un matériau de type plastique éventuellement armé de fibres.Cutouts 16 in the metal blade allow a good connection between this blade and the overmolded material which will preferably be a plastic material possibly reinforced with fibers.

Le corps 3A du dispositif de fixation est, de préférence, surmoulé sur la lame métallique. Il pourrait être réalisé en deux parties assemblées selon un plan de joint par collage, soudure ultrason ou un autre procédé d'assemblage.The body 3A of the fixing device is preferably overmolded on the metal blade. It could be made in two parts assembled according to a joint plane by gluing, ultrasonic welding or another method of assembly.

La largeur de la lame métallique sera inférieure à la largeur du corps et elle est en acier ressort.The width of the metal blade will be less than the width of the body and it is spring steel.

Dans une variante, chaque aile métallique est fractionnée en une ou plusieurs parties par des fentes 30 afin de conférer de la souplesse lors de la mise en place.In a variant, each metal wing is split into one or more parts by slots 30 in order to provide flexibility during installation.

Comme cela a été dit précédemment ce corps en matériau plastique sera rigide ou faiblement déformable élastiquement pour amortir les bruits et/ou les chocs selon sa dureté. Il pourra être, par exemple en polyamide chargé (matériau rigide), en polystyrène-butadiène-styrène (matière souple et caoutchouteuse) ou encore en polyéthylène.As has been said previously this plastic material body will be rigid or slightly elastically deformable to dampen noise and / or shock depending on its hardness. It may be, for example polyamide loaded (rigid material), polystyrene-butadiene-styrene (flexible and rubbery material) or polyethylene.

Du fait qu'il est en matériau différent du métal, le contact entre le fil et le dispositif de fixation ne sera plus métallique d'où un amortissement du bruit. Plus le matériau constituant le corps sera souple plus il y aura un effet d'amortissement des vibrations.Since it is made of a material different from the metal, the contact between the wire and the fixing device will no longer be metallic, hence a damping of the noise. The more the material constituting the body will be more flexible there will be a damping effect of the vibrations.

On aura donc augmenté la résistance sans nuire à la flexibilité des ailes et en ayant gagné sur le plan sonore et/ou des vibrations.We will have increased the resistance without affecting the flexibility of the wings and having gained on the sound and / or vibrations.

Avec un corps en caoutchouc très souple, les encoches dans la partie métallique peuvent ne plus être nécessaire mais on perdrait en résistance et en qualité.With a very soft rubber body, the notches in the metal part may not be needed anymore but you will lose in strength and quality.

Par contre lorsqu'on utilise un plastique plus dur, on peut prévoir dans le fond de la gorge 7 de fines ailettes 50 qui vont se déformer lors de la mise en place du dispositif de fixation. Ces ailettes sont réparties le long de l'axe longitudinal de la gorge.On the other hand, when a harder plastic is used, it is possible to provide in the bottom of the groove 7 thin fins 50 which will deform when the fixing device is put in place. These fins are distributed along the longitudinal axis of the groove.

L'intérêt de ces ailettes 50 apparaît notamment en regards de la figure 7 qui montre le dispositif en position provisoire c'est à dire dans une position telle que la face d'appui 4 du dispositif est éloignée du fond de la feuillure. La présence de ces ailettes permet d'appliquer le fil de lisière sur le fond de la feuillure ce qui permet de positionner correctement le panneau par rapport au fond de la feuillure. La hauteur de ces ailettes 50 est sensiblement égale voire légèrement supérieure à la distance entre le fond de la feuillure et la face dite d'appui du dispositif de fixation.The advantage of these fins 50 appears in particular with regard to Figure 7 which shows the device in the temporary position, ie in a position such that the bearing surface 4 of the device is moved away from the bottom of the rabbet. The presence of these fins makes it possible to apply the selvedge wire on the bottom of the rabbet, which makes it possible to position the panel correctly with respect to the bottom of the rabbet. The height of these fins 50 is substantially equal to or even slightly greater than the distance between the bottom of the rabbet and the said support face of the fastener.

La souplesse de ces ailettes résulte de leur épaisseur et/ou de la matière utilisée.The flexibility of these fins results from their thickness and / or the material used.

On vient donc appliquer le fil vertical dans le fond de la feuillure en position provisoire du dispositif de fixation.We just apply the vertical wire in the bottom of the rabbet in temporary position of the fixing device.

Lorsque l'on fixe définitivement le dispositif de fixation (figure 8), on déforme alors les ailettes souples qui vont alors servir d'éléments amortisseurs.When the fixing device is definitively fixed (FIG. 8), the flexible fins are then deformed, which will then serve as damping elements.

Ces ailettes sont utiles lorsque le corps 3A est relativement dur.These fins are useful when the body 3A is relatively hard.

En figure 10, on a représenté une autre solution faisant appel à un matériau plus souple permettant d'enrober la quasi totalité du fil. La gorge qui loge ledit fil a son entrée 51 partiellement refermée. Plus précisément, la distance qui sépare les deux parois de l'entrée est inférieure au diamètre du fil.In Figure 10, there is shown another solution using a softer material to coat almost the entire wire. The throat that houses said wire has its inlet 51 partially closed. More precisely, the distance separating the two walls of the inlet is smaller than the diameter of the wire.

Par ailleurs, le fond de la gorge est distant de la face d'appui d'une valeur supérieure au diamètre du fil.In addition, the bottom of the groove is distant from the bearing face of a value greater than the diameter of the wire.

L'entrée 51 de cette gorge est, de préférence, disposée angulairement pour ne pas déboucher perpendiculairement dans la face 4 d'appui du dispositif, cette face d'appui étant alors destinée à venir au contact du poteau.The inlet 51 of this groove is preferably arranged angularly so as not to open perpendicularly into the support face 4 of the device, this bearing face then being intended to come into contact with the post.

Dans la figure 11, cette gorge est accessible par déplacement d'une languette 52.In FIG. 11, this groove is accessible by displacement of a tongue 52.

En figure 12, on a représenté un dispositif de fixation qui ne se verrouille que par les ailes élastiques.In Figure 12, there is shown a fastening device which is locked only by the elastic wings.

Le corps 3A peut être en bi-matière.The body 3A can be in two-material.

La dureté shore sera comprise entre sh20 et sh90.Shore hardness will be between sh20 and sh90.
