Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fence comprising at least one fence panel which is in the form of a wire panel comprising horizontal wires which, in the installed position of the fence, extend substantially horizontally and vertical wires which, in the installed position of the fence, extend substantially vertically and comprising at least one fence post which comprises at least one upright hook element over which at least one horizontal wire can be hooked in order to hold said horizontal wire for attaching the fence panel to the fence post.
  • wire panels are often attached to fence posts. This usually involves the use of clamping rings, brackets, adapted clamping pieces etc., with a wire panel being clamped between these clamping rings, brackets, clamping pieces, etc. and the fence post, thus necessitating the use of screwdrivers or other accessories when fitting the fence.
  • a plurality of fence posts have already been developed which do not require the use of such accessories in order to attach wire panels to fence posts.
  • fences have been developed in which wire panels are attached to the fence posts using a hook system, where a vertical or a horizontal wire of a wire panel is in each case hooked to a fence post.
  • a drawback of fences in which the vertical wire is attached is that the fence post comprises folded-over parts behind which the vertical wire is hooked and which are difficult to coat evenly.
  • the present invention relates to such fences in which the horizontal wire is hooked to a fence post.
  • this makes it possible to attach fence panels to fence posts less securely and still allows for the simple detachment thereof. Therefore, an additional fastening means will often also be used in practice, such as that used with the fence from FR 2 923 248 A1 (or the respective patent application EP 2 055 866 A1 ) to complement such a hook system in order to attach the fence panels more securely to the fence posts and/or to render detachment more difficult or to prevent it.
  • the fence from FR 2 890 407 A3 no separate fastening means are used, but instead lips on the fence post are folded over with a specially developed hand tool after fitting of the panel.
  • a fence comprising at least one fence panel in the form of a wire panel, comprising horizontal wires which, in the installed position of the fence, extend substantially horizontally and vertical wires which, in the installed position of the fence, extend substantially vertically and comprising at least one fence post, in which this fence post comprises at least one upright hook element onto which at least one horizontal wire can be hooked in order to hold this horizontal wire for attaching the fence panel to the fence post and in which this fence post comprises at least one detaining element which is integrally formed with this fence post in the form of a click element in order to click-fit a horizontal wire onto the hook element when the former is hooked into the hook element, for detaining the wire panel when an attempt is made to lift the wire panel from the installed position of the fence out of engagement with the hook element.
  • this fence post comprises at least one detaining element which is integrally formed with this fence post in the form of a click element in order to click-fit a horizontal wire onto the hook element when the former is hooked into the hook element, for det
  • the fence post of a fence according to the invention with detaining element can comprise at least one flange and the hook element forms part of this flange and this hook element is formed by a slot which is provided at the end of this flange.
  • this click element can then be formed by partly punching out a part of the flange at the location of the hook element and folding it over.
  • this click element can be formed by folding out a part of the flange at the location of the hook element.
  • this click element can alternatively also form part of the flange and be formed by providing a local constriction in the slot.
  • a significant advantage of such an embodiment is that both the hook elements and the click elements can be formed together in a single process step during production.
  • a fence according to the present invention may furthermore comprise a reinforcing pillar and a web plate connected thereto, with the flange being provided at the end of the web plate.
  • the flange is then preferably a folded-over flange, comprising a first part which extends virtually at right angles to the web plate and a second part which is directed substantially towards the reinforcing pillar.
  • the additional advantage of constructing a fence post in this way is that it can be formed in such a way that all parts of the flange remain readily accessible for the purpose of applying a protective coating, thereby significantly increasing the service life of the fence post compared to fence posts comprising click elements according to the prior art.
  • fence posts according to the prior art in which a vertical wire of a fence can be click-fitted to this fence post, not all locations are readily accessible in order to be able to apply a protective coating.
  • the slot in the flange is preferably provided in the second part of the flange.
  • a click element as detaining element which is formed by either partly punching out and folding over a part of the flange, or by folding a part of the flange
  • this click element is preferably provided in the first part of the flange.
  • a slot and a click element are in this case provided at the location of one another.
  • the fence post comprises two flanges, each of which is provided with slots in order to form hook elements so as to hook horizontal wires of fence panels thereon.
  • the fence post is preferably of virtually symmetrical design.
  • a fence (1) according to the present invention as is illustrated in Fig. 1 and Fig. 5 , comprises one or more fence posts (2) and one or more fence panels (3). Parts of this fence (1) are illustrated in more detail in the other figures.
  • the fence panels (3) are wire panels and comprise horizontal wires (3a) and vertical wires (3b) which have been welded to one another at the spots where they cross. These wires (3a, 3b) are preferably made from galvanised steel.
  • the illustrated fence posts (2) are posts which have been folded from sheet metal.
  • this sheet metal is galvanized steel.
  • These fence posts (2) comprise a reinforcing pillar (7), a web plate (8) connected thereto and two folded-over flanges (9a, 9b).
  • the folded-over flanges (9a, 9b) each comprise a first part (9a) which extends virtually at right angles to the web plate (8) and a second part (9b) which is directed substantially towards the reinforcing pillar (7).
  • the illustrated fence posts (2) are of a symmetrical design, so that two fence panels (3) can be attached to this fence post (2) in such a manner that they are in line with one another.
  • the second parts (9b) of the flanges (9a, 9b) are in each case provided with downwardly directed slots (6) which end at the end of the flanges (9a, 9b) and into which a horizontal wire (3a) of a wire panel (3) can be fitted.
  • These slots (6) delimit upright hook elements (4), onto which the horizontal wire (3a) can be hooked.
  • parts (5) of the flange (9a, 9b) are partly punched out and folded in the first parts (9a) of the flanges (9a, 9b) at the location of the slots (6), as can best be seen in Fig. 4 .
  • These parts (5) form click elements (5) acting as detaining elements (5), by means of which the horizontal wire (3a) can be click-fitted in order to retain it in the respective hook element (4).
  • click elements (5) are punched out of the sheet metal and folded in such a way that they can be elastically deformed. They delimit a passage in the respective hook element (4) which is narrower than the diameter of a horizontal wire (3a).
  • the slot (6) has a width which is greater than or equal to the diameter of the horizontal wire (3a).
  • a horizontal wire (3a) When a horizontal wire (3a) is hooked over a hook element (4), it can be pulled through the passage in this manner, in which case the click element (5) temporarily deforms elastically.
  • the horizontal wire (3) can be pulled through this passage by using the force of gravity, optionally with the use of a small additional force.
  • this horizontal wire (3a) can be click-fitted into the hook element (4) by means of the respective click element (5).
  • this click element (5) forms an impediment when the fence panels (3) have to be detached. If a fence panel (3) in this installed position has to be lifted out of the hook element (4), the horizontal wire (3a) fitted in the hook element (4) hits this click element (5) which serves as a detaining element (5). Due to the design of the punched-out and folded-over parts as detaining elements (5), they deform elastically when the horizontal wire (3a) is hooked into the hook element (4), as a result of which this horizontal wire (3 a) can easily be click-fitted. However, when trying to remove the wire panel (3), this detaining element (5) prevents this horizontal wire (3a) from being lifted out of engagement.
  • all slots (6) are provided with a constriction (11) which in each case forms a click element (5) in the flange (9a, 9b), as can best be seen in Fig. 7 .
  • These constrictions (11) form click elements (5) acting as first detaining elements (5) for this embodiment, by means of which the horizontal wire (3a) can be click-fitted in order to retain it in the respective hook element (4).
  • the constrictions (11) in the illustrated embodiment are in each case provided at the end of the hook elements (4). These ends of the hook elements (4) can deform elastically.
  • Each constriction (11) is narrower than the diameter of a horizontal wire (3a).
  • the remainder of the respective slot (6) has a width which is greater than or equal to the diameter of the horizontal wire (3a).
  • a horizontal wire (3a) When a horizontal wire (3a) is hooked over a hook element (4), it can be pulled through the constriction (11) in this manner, in which case the end of the respective hook element (4) temporarily deforms elastically.
  • the horizontal wire (3) can be pulled through this constriction (11) by using the force of gravity, optionally with the use of a small additional force.
  • this horizontal wire (3a) can be click-fitted into the hook element (4) by means of the respective click element (5).
  • the fence posts (2) of the embodiment from Figs. 5 to 18 at the ends of the second parts (9b) of the flanges (9a, 9b), in each case just above the slots (6), are provided with a lip (10) which is turned towards the web plate (8).
  • This lip (10) serves as a second detaining element (10).
  • this lip (10) forms an additional obstacle when trying to detach the fence panels (3).
  • the horizontal wire (3a) which is arranged in the hook element (4) hits the click element (5), as can clearly be seen in Fig. 17 .
  • this first detaining element (5) can only detain the wire panel (3) when small forces are applied when it is being lifted out of engagement.
  • the bent-over part of a vertical wire (3b) which forms part of the nose (12) hits the lip (10) in the form of a second detaining element (10) when the fence panel (3) is being lifted out of engagement.
  • This lip (10) is a rigid detaining element (10) which therefore also detains the wire panel (3) when relatively large forces are being used during its removal.
  • An embodiment of a fence (1) according to the present invention which is not illustrated comprises only said lips (10) as detaining elements and no click elements (5).
  • the illustrated fence posts (2) are made from sheet metal by folding and can be produced in a simple manner. After folding, they can furthermore be provided with a protective coating. Due to the design of the fence posts (2) in which the second parts (9b) of the flanges (9a, 9b) are turned towards the reinforcing pillar (7), all parts of these fence posts (2) are readily accessible so as to be able to apply this coating.
  • fence posts (2) could equally well be made out of other materials and/or be produced using other production methods.
  • Such a fence post (2) according to the invention could, for example, also comprise a beam-shaped or round post to which upright hook elements (4) are attached and which is furthermore, for example, provided with click elements (5) acting as detaining elements for click-fitting a horizontal wire (3a) to such a hook element (4).
  • the illustrated wire panels (3) are three-dimensional wire panels (3) which are provided with noses (12) which are formed by horizontal wires (3a) extending beyond the plane in which most wires (3a, 3b) of the wire panel (3) essentially extend.
  • the passage between the reinforcing pillar (7) and the second part (9b) of the flange (9a, 9b) has a width which corresponds to the width of the wire panel (3) and, more specifically, to the width of these noses (12), so that the end of this wire panel (3) can be fitted through this passage.
  • this wire panel (3) is first positioned next to this fence post (2), as is illustrated in Figs. 9 and 10 . Thereafter, the end of the fence panel (2), viewed in the plane view from Fig. 10 , is pushed to the left, between said passage between the reinforcing pillar (7) and the second part (9b) of the flange (9a, 9b), until this wire panel (3) is situated virtually against the web plate (8), as is illustrated in Figs. 11 and 12 .
  • the horizontal wires (3a) of the fence panel (3) which adjoin the second part (9b) of the flange (9a, 9b) are positioned at the location of the entrances of the slots (6) in this second part (9b), as can clearly be seen in Fig. 11 .
  • the wire panel (3) is moved to the first part (9a) of the flange (9a, 9b) until this wire panel (3) comes to lie virtually against this first part (9a).
  • the horizontal wires (3a) which were positioned in front of the entrances of the slots (6) are in this case fitted in these slots (6).
  • this wire panel (3) is then pulled downwards, in which case said horizontal wires (3a) are pulled through the constrictions in the respective slots (6), as can clearly be seen in Figs. 15 and 16 .
  • the wire panel (3) viewed in the plan view of Fig. 16 , is again moved to the right-hand side, until the vertical wire (3b) which is situated in the cavity between the flange (9a, 9b) and the web plate (8) is pulled up against the second part (9b) of the flange (9a, 9b), as can clearly be seen in Fig. 18 .
