Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a system for fixing and supporting railings, balustrades and parapets in general, in particular intended for being used with sheet-like protection elements.
  • the parapet is a protective structure that is used for preventing people and objects from falling from a balcony or from a terrace and, in general, from any place in which there are surfaces having a difference in height.
  • Parapets are substantially characterised for the type of the respective protection elements.
  • balustrades are typically made up of column-shaped elements, called “balusters”, which are supported on a base and are connected at the top by a horizontal element, called “coping”.
  • the railings are on the other hand made up of vertical uprights, which are usually made from metal, which support closing elements that are covered at the top with a handrail.
  • parapets the protection elements of which are of the sheet-shaped type and in many cases they are made up of sheets of glass.
  • parapets provided with protection elements of the sheet-shaped type comprise a plurality of vertical uprights, which are capable of retaining and supporting the sheets, as well as a plurality of base elements for supporting and fixing the uprights themselves to the ground.
  • One typical drawback of the parapets of the type just described consists of the difficulty of aligning, centring and lining up all the components of the parapet itself during the relative installation.
  • the installation surface which can be for example made up of the walking surface of a balcony or of a floor of a building, is not always perfectly flat, smooth and homogeneous so as to ensure that there is absolute precision in the assembly.
  • the purpose of the present invention is therefore that of making a system for fixing and supporting railings, balustrades and parapets in general, that is intended in particular for being used with protection elements of the sheet-shaped type, which is capable of solving the drawbacks mentioned above of the prior art in an extremely simple, cost-effective and particularly functional manner.
  • one purpose of the present invention is that of making a system for fixing and supporting railings, balustrades and parapets in general that can be installed on site in an extremely precise and simple manner.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is that of making a system for fixing and supporting railings, balustrades and parapets in general which allows the protection elements of the parapet, be they of the type made of sheets of glass or of sheet-shaped elements of another kind, to be mounted as close as possible to the installation surface.
  • a further purpose of the present invention is that of making a system for fixing and supporting railings, balustrades and parapets in general that is capable of ensuring reliability, safety and that fully meets the standards in force in the specific field of application.
  • the system 10 is of the type comprising a plurality of base elements 12 configured to rest and to be fixed on a generic installation surface of the system 10, like for example the walking surface of the balcony of a building.
  • Each base element 12 is shaped so as to house and retain a respective substantially vertical upright 14.
  • each upright 14 is shaped so as to retain and support one or more sheet-shaped elements 16, which form the protection elements of the parapet.
  • each sheet-shaped element 16 is made in the form of a sheet of glass.
  • the system 10 can be finally provided with at least one handrail 18, which is substantially horizontal, fixed above the uprights 14.
  • Each base element 12, preferably made from aluminium alloy, is advantageously made up of a first plate-shaped component 20 ( figure 1 ), which is provided with fixing means for fixing onto the installation surface of the system 10 and with adjusting means for adjusting the positioning of such a first plate-shaped component 20 with respect to the installation surface of the system 10.
  • the fixing means of the first plate-shaped component 20 can be made up of one or more bolts 22 that can be inserted in corresponding elliptical-shaped slots 26 that are obtained on the first plate-shaped component 20 itself. The bolts 22 are thus inserted in corresponding holes 30 ( figure 8 ) made on the installation surface of the system 10 so as to obtain the fixing of the first plate-shaped component 20 on such an installation surface of the system 10.
  • the adjusting means can on the other hand be made up of one or more threaded grub screws 24 which insert in corresponding threaded through holes 28 that are obtained on the first plate-shaped component 20.
  • Each base element 12 is thus made up of a second bowl-shaped component 32, which is provided with fixing means with respect to the first plate-shaped component 20 and with a shaped housing seat 34 for receiving in shape-coupling the base portion of each upright 14.
  • the fixing means of the second bowl-shaped component 32 with respect to the first plate-shaped component 20 can be made up of one or more bolts 36 that can be inserted both in corresponding through holes 38 obtained on the second bowl-shaped component 32, and in corresponding through holes 40 obtained on the first plate-shaped component 20.
  • the shaped housing seat 34 of the second bowl-shaped component 32 is made up of a pair of arched side walls 72 that define at least one front opening 74 that extends downwards to the supporting base of such a second bowl-shaped component 32.
  • Each upright 14 is thus inserted from top to bottom, in shape-coupling, in the respective shaped housing seat 34 of the second bowl-shaped component 32, in such a way that the base portion of the upright 14 comes down into contact with the supporting base of such a second bowl-shaped component 32.
  • the front opening 74 of the shaped housing seat 34 in combination with the front groove 48 of the upright 14, makes it also possible to move each single support means 52 of the sheet-shaped protection elements 16 as close as possible to the installation surface of the system 10, until it allows a possible contact (see figure 12 ).
  • mutual fixing means are provided between the base portion of each upright 14 and the relative shaped housing seat 34 of the second bowl-shaped component 32.
  • These mutual fixing means are preferably made up of at least one first substantially vertical screw 42, which retains at the bottom the base portion of the upright 14 in the shaped housing seat 34, and of at least one second substantially horizontal screw 44 provided with a threaded nut 46, which laterally retains the base portion of the upright 14 in the shaped housing seat 34 itself.
  • each base element 12 of the system 10 on the relative surface thus occurs in the following manner.
  • This is particularly useful in the case in which the installation surface is not perfectly flat, but rather provided with a certain inclination, like for example what occurs for slightly sloping flooring of balconies.
  • Each upright 14 is preferably made in aluminium alloy and it is configured to withstand a force of 2 kN per linear metre without requiring any type of lateral anchoring. This force value is required by the European standards in force in the field of parapets.
  • each upright 14 is moreover provided with a front groove 48 having a sectional dovetail shape, which extends for the entire height of such an upright 14.
  • the front groove 48, or dovetail-shaped channel is configured so as to slidingly house therein a frustoconical engaging portion 50 of each single support means 52 of the sheet-shaped protection elements 16 ( figures 5A and 5B ).
  • Every single support means 52 is provided with a C-shaped hooking portion 54 that is capable of surrounding and retaining the perimetrical edge of the protection sheet-shaped elements 16.
  • a C-shaped hooking portion 54 that is capable of surrounding and retaining the perimetrical edge of the protection sheet-shaped elements 16.
  • buffers 56 of various shapes can thus be provided, made of polymeric material, which may or may not be elastic, and having the function of support and seal spacers for the perimetrical edge of the sheet-shaped protection elements 16.
  • the support means 52 can be fixed in any predetermined position inside the dovetail-shaped channel 48 of each upright 14.
  • the fixing can be obtained by means of at least one bolt 58 which inserts in the frustoconical engaging portion 50 of each single support means 52 ( figure 11 ) and that determines the coupling by friction between such a frustoconical engaging portion 50 and the dovetail-shaped channel 48.
  • each upright 14 two distinct support means 52 are advantageously mounted, namely a first support means 52 arranged at the base of the upright 14, at the base element 12, and a second support means 52 arranged at the top of the upright 14 itself.
  • the two support means 52 of each upright 14 thus retain both the lower perimetrical edge, and the upper perimetrical edge of each sheet-shaped protection element 16.
  • the support means 52 can be fixed at the base of the upright 14 so as to be supported on the installation surface of the system 10, so as to allow the sheet-shaped protection elements 16 to be separated from such a surface according to a distance of a few millimetres, like for example around 10 mm. In such a way objects, even having small dimensions, are prevented from passing below the protection elements 16 of the parapet. If the parapet is used for delimiting the surface of a balcony, objects are prevented from accidentally falling off from the balcony itself.
  • Figure 6 shows a first component of the handrail 18 of the system 10, made up of a support base 60 which can be fixed on the top of each upright 14 by means of a proper grub screw 62.
  • Each support base 60 is provided, at the top, with an anchoring friction element 64 for the handrail 18.
  • the anchoring friction element 64 for the handrail 18 is advantageously made up of a plate that is provided with a first pair of opposite rounded surfaces 66, which are capable of allowing the insertion of such an anchoring friction element 64 inside a shaped seat 70 obtained below the handrail 18, and of a second pair of opposite pointed surfaces 68, which are capable of allowing the blocking by friction of such anchoring friction element 64, as a result of its rotation, inside the shaped seat 70 of the handrail 18.
  • the particular "butterfly" shape of the plate that makes up the anchoring friction element 64, as well as its possibility of rotating on the support base 60, allow it firstly to be inserted easily and then to be blocked inside the shaped seat 70 of the handrail 18, so as to be able to carry out the mounting of such a handrail 18 on the system 10 in an effective manner and without requiring mechanical machining to be carried out or visible fixing means to be used.
