Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an assembly for a barred grid, a tool for assembling such an assembly, and a barred grid comprising at least one such assembly.
  • the invention therefore applies to the design and manufacture of a grid bar, this regardless of its destination, for example that this grid is a fence element or a gate element, or a window protection grille or other.
  • a grid rod is generally constituted by substantially vertical bars and substantially horizontal bars also called “smooth".
  • the vertical bars are arranged at a distance from each other and the rails are arranged transversely relative to the vertical bars.
  • To secure a vertical bar and a bar they are usually welded. This weld line must then be painted. This weld line that forms a bead generates a lack of aesthetics, as well as a zone of mechanical weakness.
  • a fence consisting of such a grid rod may suffer efforts that can deteriorate the weld lines.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an assembly for a bar grid which does not have the drawbacks of the prior art.
  • the axis of the hole is substantially parallel to the axis of the vertical bar.
  • the securing means is a nail or a screw or a pin or any device having an axis.
  • the securing means comprises locking means.
  • the implementation of the locking means ensures holding in position of the securing means in place and, consequently, maintaining the holding force of the horizontal bar against the vertical bar.
  • Such a solution is sufficiently effective to ensure the blocking position of the axis in the hole of the horizontal bar, this in particular when the grid is intended to constitute a fence element.
  • the gate mounted as a closing element it is fixed and is subject only to rare and / or weak solicitations. intensity. Consequently, it is very unlikely that the shocks and / or vibrations likely to be exerted on the fence are sufficient to cause a gradual withdrawal of the axis from the hole of the horizontal bar.
  • the assembly of a grid according to the invention is made in particular to assemble two horizontal bars (or smooth) on a plurality of vertical bars.
  • one of the axes is introduced by one of the ends of the vertical bar, while the other axis is introduced by the opposite end of the vertical bar.
  • one of the axes (the one introduced from above), under the effect of gravity combined with possible vibrations, is reluctant to withdraw from the hole of the corresponding horizontal bar.
  • the axis introduced by the lower end of the vertical bar would tend to gradually withdraw from the hole of the corresponding horizontal bar under the effect of vibrations combined with the effect of gravity.
  • the blocking means listed above are therefore sufficiently effective for a grid intended to constitute a closing element.
  • the grid is intended to constitute an element of a mobile assembly, as is the case when the grid according to the invention is a portal element for example, the mobility of the assembly in which is integrated the grid can generate repeated vibrations, even regular.
  • said locking means advantageously comprise a deformable element intended to be mounted in force against an inner surface of the vertical bar, so as to oppose the withdrawal of said axis from said hole.
  • the establishment of the axis in the corresponding hole takes place in a direction of introduction which causes the force of the deformable element against the inner surface of the vertical bar, and the deformable element once deformed exerts a force on the axis which opposes the stresses (and / or absorbs these stresses) exerted on the axis directed in a direction opposite to the direction of introduction.
  • said deformable element takes the form of a radial extension of said axis intended to crash against said inner surface.
  • said deformable element takes the form of a washer attached to an abutment integral with said axis, said washer being preferably made of an elastically deformable material.
  • the invention also proposes a tool for assembling an assembly according to one of the preceding variants, characterized in that it comprises an insertion end and an external body, the insertion end being designed to penetrate in the vertical bar and being pierced a guide bore which substantially aligns with the through hole, the outer body being disposed in the extension of the insertion end, pierced with a thrust bore coaxial with the guide bore, and provided with of a piston.
  • the insertion end comprises a stop that abuts against the end of the vertical bar.
  • the free end of the insertion end is provided with a guide means movable in rotation about an axis substantially orthogonal to the axis of the guide bore.
  • the invention also proposes a bar grating comprising at least one assembly according to one of the preceding variants.
  • the figure 1 represents a set 100 for a bar grid.
  • the bar grid is here represented in a vertical position, that is to say in the position in which it is placed to produce a fence or gate element.
  • the bar grid comprises a set of vertical bars 102 and a set of horizontal bars or smooth 104 which intersect.
  • the vertical bar 102 is shown as being vertical but may have an angle with the vertical direction and in the same manner, the horizontal bar or the bar 104 is shown as being horizontal (e) and perpendicular to the vertical bar 102, but he / she may have a different angle, the different positions are related to the aesthetics of the grid bar.
  • the assembly for a bar grid 100 comprises a vertical bar 102, a horizontal bar or a bar bar 104, which crosses the vertical bar 102, and a securing means 106.
  • the vertical bar 102 is hollow and has a notch 116 formed in its wall. This notch 116 is provided to receive the horizontal bar or the bar 104.
  • the dimensions and shape of the notch 116 are adapted to the shape and dimensions of the horizontal bar or the bar 104.
  • the horizontal bar or the bar 104 can and thus fit into the vertical bar 102.
  • the horizontal bar or the bar 104 comprises a through hole 110.
  • the horizontal bar or the bar 104 is hollow, but it can be full.
  • the hole 110 is dimensioned so that each end is at least partly inside the vertical bar 102 when the horizontal bar or the bar 104 is fitted into the vertical bar 102.
  • the hole 110 is preferably cylindrical but it can take other forms.
  • the axis of the hole 110 is substantially parallel to the axis of the vertical bar 102.
  • the securing means comprises an axis 106 whose section allows its penetration into the hole 110, and whose longitudinal profile is such that when inserted into the hole 110, the axis 106 exerts, on the horizontal bar or the smooth 104, a holding force F ⁇ oriented towards the inside of the vertical bar 102.
  • the holding force F ⁇ thus tends to press the horizontal bar or the bar 104 into the bottom of the notch 116.
  • the securing means 106 bears on the inner surface of the wall of the vertical bar 102. A first support is thus carried out downstream of the hole 110 and a second support is thus carried out upstream of the hole 110.
  • the securing means 106 thus exerts a pressing force on the inner surface of the wall of the vertical bar 102 and this pressure force generates the holding force F ⁇ .
  • the securing means 106 is pushed inside the vertical bar 102 and forced into the hole 110 until it comes into contact on either side of the hole against the inner surface of the bar wall. vertical 102.
  • the securing means 106 takes the form of a screw or a nail or a pin or any device comprising an axis.
  • the head 108 of the screw or nail then bears, upstream of the hole 110, against the inner surface of the wall of the vertical bar 102, the tip then bears, downstream of the hole 110, against the inner surface of the the wall of the vertical bar 102.
  • the securing means 106 comprises locking means 114 which come into contact with the inner surface of the wall of the vertical bar 102.
  • the means of blocking 114 are made by the thread of the screw.
  • a notched pin nail can be used, the locking means 114 then being made by the notches.
  • the blocking means can additionally (or alternatively) cooperate with the horizontal bar 104, at the level of the hole 110.
  • the thread or the notch (s) can be arranged on the securing means of way to abut against the wall of the horizontal bar, and more precisely at the wall defining the hole 110.
  • the locking means illustrated on the figure 1 extend only in the lower part and up to the lower end of the securing means 106.
  • the locking means may extend according to other conceivable arrangements, for example only from a certain height of the means. fastening and / or up to the head 108.
  • the assembly of the vertical bar 102 and the horizontal bar or the bar 104 with the securing means 106 is easy. It is not necessary to repaint the assembly 100 after assembly because there is no welding. The lack of welding line prevents the appearance of a weak area even when the fence or gate element is under stress.
  • the figures 4 and 5 each illustrate an alternative embodiment of a bar grid according to the invention.
  • the configuration of the assembly of the vertical bar 102 with the horizontal (or smooth) bar 104 is achieved by means of a securing means introduced into the vertical bar 102 in a direction of introduction directed upwards, that is to say through the opening of the lower end 1020 of the vertical bar 102.
  • the end 1060 of the securing means may have locking means 114 in the form of a thread (in the case where the securing means 106 takes the form of a screw) or notches (in the case where the securing means 106 takes the form of a nail).
  • the locking means can cooperate with the inner surface of the vertical bar and / or cooperate with the horizontal bar 104, at the hole 110.
  • the thread or the (s) notch (s) can be arranged on the means fastening so as to abut against the wall of the horizontal bar, and more precisely at the wall delimiting the hole 110.
  • the locking means illustrated on the figures 4 and 5 extend only in the upper part and up to the end 1060 of the securing means 106.
  • the locking means may extend according to other conceivable arrangements, for example only from a certain height of the means. securing (from the first end 1060) and / or to the second end 1061.
  • the hole 110 can be formed in the bar 104 so that, once the bar 104 is fully engaged in the vertical bar 102, the hole 110 extends along an axis not parallel to the axis of the vertical tube 102 and oriented in such a way as to prefigure the position of the securing means 106.
  • This oblique direction of the securing means ensures that each of the ends of the securing means bear, directly or indirectly, against the inner surface 1021 of the bar 102, including if the securing means has a portion at its insertion end 1021 of a diameter smaller than that of a portion in the vicinity of its opposite end 1061.
  • the locking means in position of the securing means comprise (in replacement or in addition to the thread or notches mentioned above) a radial extension 1062 of the axis of the securing means 1060, this extension being able to take place at the end 1061 or in the vicinity thereof.
  • This radial extension 1062 constitutes a deformable element intended to be crushed against the inner surface 1021 of the vertical bar 102.
  • this radial extension 1062 is provided such that, during the introduction of the securing means 106 into the orifice 110, the extension bears against the wall 1021.
  • the radial extension is deformed (downwards when the securing means is introduced through the bottom of the bar 102, or upwards when the securing means is introduced through the top of the bar 102). This deformation is generated because of the oblique orientation of the securing means 106 relative to the wall 1021 of the vertical bar, this orientation tends to reduce the spacing between the radial extension and the wall 1021 as and when the introduction of the securing means in the hole 110.
  • This radial extension is, according to the present embodiment, made of the same material as that of the axis of the securing means, in this case in a metallic material which gives sufficient rigidity to the radial extension 1062 once deformed and bearing against the inner surface 1021, opposes the removal of the securing means from the hole 110.
  • the washer 1063 is made of an elastically deformable material.
  • the outer diameter of the washer 1063 is dimensioned such that it comes to deform in contact with the inner surface 1021 of the vertical bar as the insertion means into the hole 110. In a similar manner to what has been indicated above, this deformation is generated because of the oblique orientation of the securing means 106 relative to the inner surface 1021 which tends to reduce the spacing between the end 1061 and the inner surface 1021 as and when the fastening means is introduced into the hole 110.
  • the washer 1063 being made of an elastically deformable material, the bead 1064 has a dual function: a function in which the bead 1064 acts (or reacts) on the head 1062 so as to oppose the removal of the securing means from the hole 110 and a vibration absorption function transmitted by the vertical bar.
