Definitions

  • the present invention relates, in a general manner, to the technical field of guardrails intended, in the building sector, to be installed at the edge of slabs of balconies or terraces. More particularly, this invention is concerned with a railing of modular structure, provided with an adjusting device.
  • the railings of balconies or terraces are, usually, made with support bars at more or less important intervals, the tops of the support bars being interconnected by a horizontal handrail, while at intermediate heights these support bars are also interconnected by one or more horizontal rails.
  • the smooth can be sufficiently close together to constitute by themselves a protective barrier.
  • These rails may also remain relatively spaced, in which case they receive between them full or perforated filling elements such as panels of metal or laminated glass or plastic, or they are interconnected by a series of vertical bars sufficiently closer together.
  • the bases of the support bars are fixed at ground level, for example near the edge of a balcony slab, by means of hooves.
  • Each shoe is itself fixed on the slab by means of a screw, advantageously with the interposition of a wedge allowing adjustment of inclination of the support bar.
  • the railings do not include any other height adjustment device.
  • irregularities or inclinations of the edge of the slab echo to the top of the support bars, creating a lack of horizontality smooth and especially the handrail.
  • This problem is posed not only in case of a construction defect on the front edge of the slab, but also in case of desired inclination of a side edge of the slab to facilitate the flow and evacuation of water rain by gravity.
  • Guardrails have already been designed with independent adjustment means for the rails and the handrail. This should theoretically allow a horizontal setting of the rails and the handrail.
  • Such a solution requires manual interventions at multiple points, at the time of installation of the railing, without guarantee the horizontality and parallelism of the rails and the handrail. This can result in a visual defect of the guardrail, or even a difficulty of setting up a filling panel between two smooth.
  • each support bar has at its base a shoe, on which are guided and immobilized two vertical sections to which are fixed the rails and the handrail. It is thus possible to vertically adjust the position of the rails and the handrail, maintaining their spacing and their parallelism, before immobilizing the assembly by means of a locking flange screwed on the shoe and simultaneously tightened against the bases of the two vertical profiles.
  • such a railing embodiment does not allow an easy height adjustment and independent of the two sections, since it provides a common locking flange to these two sections.
  • the embodiment according to the aforementioned document eliminates any fixed and rigid support bar extending over the height of the railing, replacing such a support bar by two profiles to be fixed on the same low height shoe. This results in a mechanical weakness of the assembly, due to the fact that the guiding of the sections relative to the shoe is made over a very small length, and also to a risk of insufficient tightening of the locking flange against these profiles.
  • the handrail is composed of successive elements, of length equal to that of a module.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the disadvantages described above, and therefore aims to provide a railing with improved adjustment device, which allows a vertical as well as longitudinal adjustment, maintaining the spacing and parallelism of smooth and handrail, while avoiding to weaken the parts that participate in the mechanical strength of the railing and that undergo and transmit the efforts.
  • the invention relates to a modular railing with adjusting device, according to claim 1.
  • the two support bars of each module each comprise a lateral vertical groove into which a complementary part belonging to the associated bar is introduced and guided.
  • each bar in the set vertical position, comprise at least one locking screw, screwed into a corresponding threaded hole of the bar and adapted to be clamped against the bottom of the groove of the support bar.
  • the fastening means of the handrail consist of a connecting piece mounted at the top of each bar, the connecting piece covering the top of the associated support bar in the entire vertical adjustment range of the bar relative to the bar -support.
  • a railing formed modules in which the rails and the handrail are integral, these modules giving the possibility of adjusting the horizontality of the handrail by lifting more or less each bar.
  • the rails being fixed between the bars, the vertical adjustment thus carried out preserves the spacing and the parallelism between the rails and the handrail.
  • the constitution of the railing in initially independent modules, nevertheless interconnected by a common handrail to these modules allows easy longitudinal adjustment at the time of installation of the railing, spacing more or less two adjacent support bars belonging to two consecutive modules, with a large adjustment range which, however, shall not exceed the maximum deviation set by the applicable standards or other safety requirements.
  • the guardrail design object of the invention, retains an important and rigid fixed structure constituted by the support bars fixed on the slab by means of the shoes, and it provides a "long" guide of the bars by the grooves extending over the entire height of the support bars, which provides significant mechanical strength, the support bars can absorb and transmit significant effort.
  • each single-bar support bar allows vertical adjustment and individual tightening of all the bars, facilitating the installation of the railing, possibly with the use of appropriate shims to temporarily maintain a set position.
  • the guardrail installed on a balcony slab 2 is made from independent modules 3, in the illustrated example several modules 3 placed one after another the along the front edge 4 of the slab 2, and another module 3 placed on a lateral edge 5 of this slab 2.
  • the railing comprises vertical support bars 6, horizontal rails 7, 8 and 9 which interconnect the support bars 6 at intermediate heights, and a handrail 10 interconnecting them the vertices of these support bars 6.
  • three rails 7, 8 and 9 are provided, with a lower rail 7, an intermediate rail 8, and a top rail 9.
  • Filling panels 11 of shape rectangular are mounted between the lower rail 7 and the intermediate rail 8, while the upper rail 9 forms a simple protective bar.
  • the bases of the support bars 6 are fixed on the slab 2 by means of shoes 12.
  • a module 3 as represented on the figure 2 , comprises two support bars 6 with their respective fixing shoes 12, the three rails 7, 8 and 9 connecting these two support bars 6, and the filling panel 11 which is mounted between the two rails 7 and 8.
  • the bars -supports 2 are provided at their vertex respective connecting pieces 13, provided for the attachment of the handrail 10 which is common to all of the modules 3 and therefore does not belong to a particular module.
  • each support bar 6 comprises a main section 14 which constitutes the body of this support bar, the main section 14 comprising a single vertical lateral groove 15.
  • a complementary "T" part 16 belonging to a vertical secondary profile, designated as a bar 17.
  • each support bar 6 At the base of each support bar 6, and as shown in detail in the figure 5 , the lower end of the main section 14 is secured to the fixing shoe 12.
  • the latter is intended to be clamped on the slab 2, with the interposition of a setting pad 18 with a toric surface, by means of a screw fixation 19.
  • a cover 20 covers the fixing shoe 12, in particular to conceal and protect the fixing screw 19 (the cover 20 having been shown spaced from the shoe 12 for clarity of the drawing).
  • the different rails 7, 8 and 9 are all connected, by their ends, to the two bars 17 of a module 3, these two bars 17 being located vis-à-vis.
  • the connection between the rails 7, 8, 9 and the bars 17 is made by means of screws (not shown), according to a technique known per se.
  • the connecting pieces 13 provided for fixing the handrail 10 are mounted at the top of the bars 17.
  • the figure 7 represents the connecting piece 13 spaced from the top of the main profile 14 of the support bar 6, it being understood that in final configuration this connecting piece 13 covers the top of the main section 14.
  • the two bars 17 of a module 3 are slid into the grooves 15 of the main profiles 14 of the two support bars 6, and these bars 17 come to a low abutment on the fixing shoes 12 of the support bars 6.
  • Each module 3 thus prepared is placed on the slab 2, and is fixed thereto by tightening the fixing screws 19.
  • the modules 3 are thus fixed one after the other, the support bar 6 right of a module 3 being located near the support bar 6 left of the next module 3.
  • the spacing e between the vertical axis of the right-hand support bar 6 of a module 3 and the vertical axis of the left-hand support bar 6 of the next module 3 is adjustable by the simple choice of the position of installation and fixing of the respective shoes 12 of these two support bars 6.
  • the railing is thus adaptable to the length of the slab 2, to compensate for inaccuracies in the length of this slab.
  • the connecting pieces 13 are mounted at the top of the bars 17 (unless they have already been previously), and the handrail 10 is itself fixed on these 13.
  • the horizontality of the handrail 10 above each module 3, by raising more or less strongly each bar 17 relative to the fixing shoe 12 by sliding of this bar 17 in the vertical groove 15 of the associated main section 14.
  • the locking screw 21 is screwed into a corresponding threaded hole 22 of the bar 17, and tightly against the bottom of the groove 15.
  • This height adjustment operation makes it possible in particular to compensate for the defects in horizontality or other irregularities of the front edge 4 of the slab 2, but also to compensate for a slight intentional inclination of this slab 2 and its lateral edge 4, inclination to favor the flow and evacuation of rainwater.
