Definitions

  • the invention relates to a modular construction composed of rod-like elements. More particularly, the invention relates to a modular fencing, gate, railing and security system comprising a plurality of space posts arranged in parallel and a plurality of fence segments located between the posts.
  • Picket type fences are particularly suitable for these applications as they can be difficult to climb over.
  • Fences having long vertical pickets with widely spaced rails are not easily climbed as they do not provide convenient stepping points.
  • the tops of the pickets can be pointed to make the fences more difficult to scale.
  • Prefabrication of fence segments is not always convenient. A buyer has to use a van or trailer to transport the segments from the store to the location of installation. Alternatively, he could request the warehouse employee to deliver the segments at home. This results in additional delivery time. Another disadvantage of prefabricated fence segments is that they require a relative large storage space in the warehouse. Consequently, the variation in design of segments will be limited.
  • US4006885 discloses a modular fence and hand rail designed to be assembled into connecting modular segments.
  • the modular fence can be economically tooled and manufactured and is shipped in a knocked-down condition.
  • An unskilled individual can assemble the components with the simples of tools such as a screw driver and pliers.
  • couplings with screws have the disadvantage that they form the weakest part of the construction with respect to corrosion.
  • US2651502 discloses a sectional fence construction.
  • the fence sections are held together by a pair of connecting wires.
  • Each of the ends of the connecting wires has an eye.
  • Adjacent eyes are in vertical aligned.
  • a stake spike is insertable through the aligned eyes.
  • US905983 discloses a fence.
  • the fence comprising a plurality of vertical rods adapted for insertion in the ground and a series of longitudinally disposed rods ⁇ connecting adjacent vertical rods.
  • the longitudinal rods being fixedly attached at one end to one such vertical rod and being pivotally secured to the other by being looped around an adjacent vertical rod.
  • the fixedly attached ends of one series of longitudinal rods being bent to engage the pivotally secured ends of the adjacent series, whereby vertical movement of the latter is prevented by recurved ends.
  • WO2009067027 discloses a fencing system having one or more rails that are generally aligned with a length of the fencing system. Each rail has an internal passageway along its length.
  • the fencing system further includes upright members that are adapted to be connectable to the rails, and at least one elongated locking member that is configured to fit within the internal passageway and to pass through an opening in each upright member to secure each upright member to the rails. Both the rails and upright members are hollow elongated bodies in which moisture can become a source of corrosion.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a modular construction which overcomes at least one of the disadvantages mentioned before.
  • the modular construction is composed of solid rod-like elements.
  • the construction comprises first rod-like elements wherein each first rod-like element comprising at least one hole.
  • a first rod-like element is fixated in longitudinal direction of the first rod-like element by a second rod-like element which passes through a hole of the first rod-like element.
  • the first rod-like elements is fixated in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction by passing a first rod-shaped part of the first rod-like element through a hole of one or more third rod-like elements.
  • the first rod-like element is further fixated in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction by passing a second rod-shaped part of the first rod-like element passing through a hole of a third rod-like element wherein the at least one hole of the first rod-like element is positioned between the first and second rod-shaped part.
  • the solid rod-like elements are forged elements from one piece. This feature improves characteristics of the rod-like elements, such as stiffness, as the rod-like element does not comprise welds. Another advantage is that no process steps such as welding and riveting are necessary to produce the solid rod-like elements. This reduces the production costs of the individual elements.
  • the solid rod-like elements are individually pre-processed by at least one of the following processes: abrasive blasting, metalizing, priming, anodising, hot dip galvanizing, powder coating, patinating, chroming, polishing and wet painting.
  • abrasive blasting metalizing, priming, anodising, hot dip galvanizing, powder coating, patinating, chroming, polishing and wet painting.
  • the surface properties of the elements are improved, such as appearance, adhesion, wettability, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and scratch resistance.
  • a subsequent treatment after assembly is necessary when the elements are coupled together by welding, riveting and/or screwing. These coupling methods damage the protective coating.
  • a subsequent treatment after assembly it would not be possible to coat the surfaces of the rods-like elements in the openings. Moisture between the rod-like elements in the openings will become a source for corrosion.
  • the modular construction is demountable into the rod-like elements. This feature allows one to reuse the rod-like element.
  • the rigid rod-like elements are metal elements.
  • Metal has the advantage the system will be stiff and the element could economically be manufactured by induction heating, forming, punching and cutting long rods.
  • the rigid rod-like elements could be manufactured with a cold forging process when low carbon steel or aluminium is used.
  • a modular fencing system comprising fence segments.
  • a fence segments is composed of horizontal and vertical rod-like elements.
  • Each vertical rod-like element comprises at least one hole.
  • the vertical rod-like element is fixated in vertical direction in the structure of the fence segment by a first horizontal rod-like element which passes through a hole of the vertical rod-like element and is fixated in a horizontal direction by passing a first rod-shaped part of the vertical rod-like element through a hole of one or more second horizontal rod-like elements.
  • FIG 1 shows schematically a first embodiment of a fencing system 1 according to the invention.
  • the fencing system 1 comprises a plurality of spaced posts 2 arranged in parallel and a plurality of fence segements 4 located between the posts 2.
  • a fence segment 4 is an assembly of solid rod-like elements 6A, 6B, 6C forming an embodiment of a construction according to the invention.
  • Solid in the context of the present application means entirely of one substance with no cavities inside.
  • a rod-like element could be in the form of a rod with or without one or more holes 8.
  • each vertical rod-like elements 6A comprises one hole 8.
  • a vertical rod-like element 6A comprises a first rod-shaped part 61, a second rod-shaped part 62 and an eye part 63 positioned between the first and second rod-shaped part 61, 62.
  • the eye part 63 includes hole 8.
  • the construction of the fence segment 4 comprises two types of horizontal rod-like elements 6B, 6C.
  • the first type of horizontal rod-like element 6B is a rod without holes.
  • the second type of horizontal rod-like elements 6C is a rod with a plurality of holes. The number of holes corresponds to the number of vertical rod-like elements 6A.
  • Each holes of the second type of horizontal rod-like element 6C has an opening configured to pass a rod-shaped part 62 of the vertical rod-like elements 6A.
  • the opening formed by a hole of rod-like elements has a cross section which essentially corresponds to a cross section of the rod-like parts of a rod-like element.
  • distal ends of the three horizontal rod-like elements 6B, 6C are positioned in corresponding openings 2A in the posts 2.
  • other coupling structures are commonly known to the skilled person, for example by using bolts and/or nuts.
  • a modular fencing system shown in figure 1 is assembled in the following way.
  • the distal ends of the second rod-shaped part 62 of the vertical rod-like elements 6A are inserted through the holes of one of the horizontal rod-like elements 6C.
  • the distal ends of the second rod-shape part 62 of the vertical rod-like elements 6A are inserted through the holes of the other one of the horizontal rod-like elements 6C.
  • the vertical rod-like elements 6A are now positioned parallel.
  • a distal end of the horizontal rod-like element 6B without holes is inserted through the holes 8 in the eye parts 63 of the vertical rod-like elements 6A.
  • the horizontal rod-like element 6B passing through a hole of the vertical rod-like elements 6A fixates the vertical rod-like elements 6A in longitudinal direction, i.e. vertical direction
  • the second rod-shaped parts 62 of a vertical rod-like element 6A passing through a hole of one or more horizontal rod-like elements 6C fixates the vertical rod-like element 6A in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, i.e. horizontal direction.
  • the distal ends of the horizontal rod-like elements 6B, 6C are positioned in the openings 2A of the posts 2.
  • Another advantage is that the assembling method does not damage protective coatings of the rod-like elements.
  • no post-treatment of the fence segment is needed to protect the fence segment against corrosion.
  • Such a post-treatment is necessary when iron parts are welded together and recommended when bolt and nut connections are used to couple the elements.
  • the method of coupling according to the invention does not damage the coatings.
  • the individual rod-like elements of a segment requires less space to store than an assembled fence segment. This has benefits for having fence segments in stock or when transporting a fence to the location of assembly.
  • the fence segment could be easily disassembled without damaging the individual rod-like elements.
  • Yet another advantage is that by having horizontal rod-like elements with N different lengths on stock and vertical rod-like elements with M different lengths on stock, a customer can select from N times M different fence segment sizes. It is practically impossible to have sufficient pre-assembled fence segments with NxM different sizes on stock.
  • the rod-like elements could be manufactured economically by forging processes. Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces.
  • each element could have its own colour. This enables customers to select different coloured elements to assemble the construction. For example a customer could select two different colours for the vertical rod-like elements and use the different coloured elements alternately in the fence segment.
  • the fence segment could be assembled in other order as described above. For example, one could start with the third step and then the first and second step and finally the fourth step.
  • a rod-like element with one or more holes could be produced from one piece of metal in the following way. Locally heating a rod, for example by means of induction. Pushing the not heated ends of the rod to each other. The rod will form at the locally heated part a knob or thickening. Subsequently a puncher makes the hole in the knob and reduces the height to obtain the eye-part of the rod-like elements. Depending on the number of holes in a rod-like element these steps are repeated. It should be noted that also cold forging processes could be used to produce the rod-like elements with one or more holes. A forging process improves characteristics of the rod-like elements, such as stiffness, as the rod-like element is of a homogenous material and does not comprise welds. Another advantage is that no process steps such as welding and riveting are necessary to produce the solid rod-like elements. This reduces the production costs of the individual elements. Furthermore, the appearance of a rod-like element or construction without welds is more appealing.
  • the thus obtained rod-like elements are subsequently subjected to one of the following processes: abrasive blasting, metalizing, priming, anodising, hot dip galvanizing, powder coating, patinating, chroming, polishing and wet painting.
  • the surface properties of the elements are improved by these processes, such as appearance, adhesion, wettability, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and scratch resistance.
  • FIG. 2 shows schematically a second embodiment of a fencing system 1.
  • the fencing system 1 comprises a plurality of spaced posts 2 arranged in parallel and a plurality of fence segements 4 located between the posts 2.

  • the distal ends of horizontal rod 6B and horizontal rod-like element 6E are inserted in corresponding openings in the posts 2.
  • the fence segment comprises three horizontal rod-like elements 6B, 6D and 6E, of which only the distal ends of elements 6B and 6E are coupled with the posts 2.
