Each panel is fastened to a pair of uprights; each panel-upright assembly normally comprises at least one upper fastening point and one lower fastening point.
  • the lower fastening point must be placed at a height of at least 120 mm from the ground.
  • EP 1 167 658 B1 describes a fixed intrusion prevention fencing, and in particular an upright having a lower ring and an upper ring that are inserted over said upright so as to respectively produce the lower and upper fastening points.
  • US 2006/0150546 Al describes a fixed intrusion prevention fencing, and in particular an upright having a lower ring and an upper ring that are inserted over said upright to respectively produce the lower and upper fastening points.
  • the lower fastening point supports the panel in an area with a stepped profile so as to allow the panel to fall according to a preferred direction in the case of the upper fastening being missing.
  • the upper and lower rings are also elements that can be lost, and also require threaded elements for their fastening to the upright.
  • the rings are mechanically fastened according to a clamping method with the aid of small screws, the purpose of which is to ensure the position of said upper and lower rings also in the case of vibrations or accidental contact: these small screws are a nuisance during assembly and are also easily lost.
  • GB 1 438 813 describes an interlocking frame construction comprising a plurality of spaced-apart posts and upper and lower rails secured to the posts by connector means.
  • Each rail is formed by several components.
  • the upper rail has side portions (37) that extend upwardly to engage a channel cover (52) by horizontally sliding the cover onto the rail.
  • a connector assembly (39) is provided to secure two upper rails to a post (12).
  • Said connector assembly comprises two hangers (41) and a wedge (47) provided with two parallel spring walls (49) to be forced into the hollow end of the post between the hangers.
