Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field concerning boundary walls, placed to fence working areas of yards, industrial facilities and machineries, automated robots, storage areas and generally any place, where it is necessary to separate an area from the surrounding areas, so as to protect workers, users, unauthorised persons or passers-by.
  • the above mentioned barriers are usually made of a plurality of posts, which have a base or are secured to the ground, and which are arranged suitably spaced apart, and a corresponding series of wall panels, aimed at closing the gaps between the adjacent posts.
  • the panels are made of a metallic net structure, which gives appropriate strength without being excessively heavy, and at the same time, it allows a visual control of what is going on inside the fenced area.
  • the net structure of the panels is preferred, where possible, also for aesthetic reasons, since it is visually less “overwhelming" with respect to a blind panel.
  • the panels are fastened to the posts by means of shaped plates, which are associated to the two ends of each rib and are then secured to the corresponding posts by means of relative bolts, screwed into corresponding threaded holes made on the posts; as a consequence of tightening the plates to the posts, the respective portions of the vertical wires of the net situated along the panel sides becomes locked, so that the panel cannot slide in any way.
  • each plate has temporary coupling elements, which include holding teeth allowing the plate to remain hung to the panel, in determined conditions, during the transitory step between the panel positioning and the beginning of screwing the relative bolt.
  • the shape of said temporary coupling elements allows the plate to be kept fastened to the panel in a very precarious way, only if the panel is kept perfectly vertical, moved slowly, in absence of shakes and accidental hits.
  • said temporary coupling elements are functional, with due care, only during the assembly step, as it has been specified, among other things, in said patent objects, while they are almost inefficient during the panel disassembling step and when the panel, separated from the posts, is replaced at the side in a casual position.
  • a further aspect that does not meet the requirements derives from the fact that, if in a panel, fastened to the relative posts, for example with four plates for each side, three plates are removed on each side, leaving only the two highest ones, the panel can be supported, but it is not prevented from being rotated, in either direction, about the horizontal axis of the two remaining bolts, thus nullifying the barrier function.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a locking system that overcomes the reported disadvantages of the known solution, occurring during the assembly step, as mentioned in the introduction.
  • Still a further object of the invention is to develop a locking system, formed so that it can be used also on the previous type boundary walls, so as to adapt them to the most recent regulations.
  • Yet a further object of the invention is to present a locking system so designed as not to require right and left elements in order to avoid errors during the assembling step, and at the same time, to contain the production costs.
  • reference numeral 1 indicates a boundary wall as a whole, mentioned in the introduction, aimed at fencing working areas of yards, industrial facilities and machineries, automated robots, storage areas and generally any place where it is necessary to separate an area from the surrounding areas, so as to protect workers, users, unauthorised persons or passers-by.
  • the boundary wall 1 includes, in a way known in itself, a modular structure, stackable as required, made of a plurality of posts 2, for example of the type that can be fastened to the ground by means of rawlplugs, spaced out at prefixed distances along the periphery of the area to circumscribe, and a corresponding series of wall panels 3, fastened to the posts 2 and aimed at closing the gaps between the adjacent posts.
  • the posts 2 are preferably made of a square cross-section metallic tube.
  • the panels 3 are made, at least along the respective sides 3A, 3B. of a net structure without a frame, generally metallic, defined by horizontal wires 30 and vertical wires 31, mutually arc-welded.
  • the panels 3 are crossed by horizontal ribs 13, made at different heights, having a trapezoid profile, and extending from one side to the other; the depth of the ribs 13 is suitably smaller than the dimension of the post 2 side.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a boundary wall 1 defined by a single pair of posts 2 and only one panel 3.
  • the locking system S is aimed at coupling the panels 3 with the respective posts 2 and includes at least two shaped plates 4 for each panel 3, in the minimum configuration; in the example of Fig. 1 , referred to a system for boundary walls 1 complying with the European regulations, there are four pairs of shaped plates 4.
  • the shaped plates 4 are made of press-moulded metallic sheet and have a vertically elongated form with dimension longer than the height of the above mentioned ribs 13.
  • Said holding means 15 are formed, for example, by a washer of elastomeric material, fitted adherently onto the threaded shank of the bolt 5, at the side corresponding to the face M of the plate 4 (see again Fig. 2 ).
  • hook-shaped coupling means 6 in the plate 4, aimed at fixing the latter to the corresponding net structure of said panel 3, when the panel is separated from the above mentioned posts 2, with the hook-shaped coupling means 6 being also aimed at supporting the respective side 3A, 3B of said panel 3, as a consequence of at least partial screwing of said bolt 5 in the foregoing threaded hole 20; the above mentioned functions of the hook-shaped coupling means 6 will be better described later on.
  • hook-shaped coupling means 6 are formed, for example, by two hooks 60, made integral with the plate 4, at the opposite ends thereof, oriented symmetrical to each other, so as to face each other and substantially coplanar with the plate 4.
  • stabilising means 7 made working by tightening of said bolt 5 in said threaded hole 20 and aimed at preventing the plate 4 and the associated panel 3 from rotating with respect to the axis of the bolt 5, also in co-operation with said hook-shaped coupling means 6, as better described later on.
  • Said stabilising means 7 are formed, for example, by at least one square wing 70, made integral with the plate 4 in the respective vertical side 4A interposed between said hooks 60, in an asymmetrical position, so as to be offset with respect to the slot 40.
  • the square wing 70 extends horizontally and is formed by a first segment 70A, coplanar with the plate 4, and a terminal portion 70B, perpendicular to the plate and turned outwards of said face M.
  • the mounting of the boundary wall 1 includes initially, as usual, placing the posts 2 at the determined distance and in a suitable alignment.
  • Respective plates 4 are positioned at the two ends of each rib 13, the plates having their bolt 5 and washer 15 and being oriented so that the respective faces M are turned outwards.
  • Each plate 4 is introduced in the last mesh of the net close to the corresponding side 3A, 3B of the panel 3, taking care to couple the hook 60, situated at top, to the corresponding horizontal wire 30; in this way, the face M contacts the portions of the outermost vertical wire 31, that define the oblique sides of the trapezoid profile of said rib 13.
  • the panel 3 with the plates 4 and the respective bolts 5 are fastened one to another and consequently, it is possible to handle the whole without excessive care, to place it between the posts 2: by screwing partially, by hand, the bolts 5 of the topmost couple of plates 4, a temporary support of the panel 3 is obtained immediately, thus allowing to release it, so as to continue, with all ease, to screw the remaining bolts 5 and consequently to tighten them.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates a portion of the upper rib 13, at the left side 3A, with the respective plate 4 clamping the rib to the corresponding post 2; the square wing 70, situated lower with respect to the slot 40, and consequently, to the axis of the bolt 5, gives a one direction anti-rotation constraint.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates another portion of the upper rib 13, at the right side 3B, with the respective plate 4 clamping the rib to the corresponding post 2; since this plate 4 is identical with the other one and is only arranged overturned, the respective square wing 70 is situated, in this case, higher than the slot 40 and therefore gives an anti-rotation constraint in the direction opposite to the one of the other wing 70.
  • the panel 3 rotation is advantageously prevented also by the fact that a hook 60 of each plate 4 is always engaged with a corresponding horizontal wire 30 and consequently makes the constraint between the panel 3 and plate 4 more stable; depending on the height, at which the plate is locked, the engaged hook can be the lower hook 60 ( Fig. 3 ) or the upper one ( Fig. 4 ).
  • the proposed locking system is thus suitable for obtaining boundary walls provided with the required safety certifications; this important property allows also to adapt the pre-existing barriers.
  • a further advantageous aspect of the locking system under discussion derives from the fact that the same plate is used without distinction in the two sides of the panel and the only asymmetric element, i.e. the square wing, performs a function that completes the function of the other, due to this asymmetry.
  • the positive characteristics of the described locking system allow the barrier to be assembled and disassembled, easily and without errors, by only one operator.
