Definitions
- the present invention relates to a closing part, typically a closing part for a gate or a fence, comprising a first beam, a second beam and a plurality of bars extending between the first beam and the second beam.
- WO 98/11311 describes a closing part with a top railing 12, a base railing 14 and a number of balusters 16.
- Figures 2 and 3 show how these balusters are mounted in a railing 12.
- Baluster 16 is provided with two elongate thickened portions 42, 44 which are interrupted at the position of numerals 46, 48, see figure 2 .
- a baluster 16 can in this way be secured in railing 12 by a rotating movement.
- Railing 12 is provided for this purpose with an opening with recesses 27 which are complementary to the shape of the elongate thickened portions 42, 44. Thickened portions 42, 44 are not arranged by arranging an expanding tool in the second ends of the balusters.
- US 2010/155683 describes a fence with an upper rail 12b, a lower rail 12a and a number of pickets 14. Although the pickets have crushed parts which are intended to secure the pickets in the upper and lower beams, it is not the case that one end of a picket is secured mechanically in the beam by a translating and rotating movement. The outer ends of the pickets are pressed into the beams. Finally, US 2010/155683 does not describe arranging an expanding tool in an outer end of the pickets.

- protrusion refers to a part which is expanded in more or less convex form. It is noted that a protrusion may protrude minimally from the bar and that convex parts which protrude a little can be sufficient to secure the second beam.
- the closing part can in this way be mounted quickly by coupling the bars mechanically to the first beam on one side, this first beam being advantageously closed at the top, and by expanding parts of the second ends of the bars on the other side for the purpose of fixing the second ends in the second beam. Welded connections are in this way not necessary, and an optionally treated outer layer of the beams and bars or a coating on the beams and bars is not affected. If the first beam is used as upper beam it can be closed at the top, thereby avoiding the possibility of dirt entering the upper beam.
- the second beam preferably comprises a tubular element with an upper wall and a lower wall, and the openings for the bars are arranged through the upper and the lower wall.
- Each bar preferably has at its second end at least one protrusion with a rounded shape.

- the invention also relates to a method for forming a closing part, wherein a first beam is connected by means of a plurality of bars to a second beam.
- the first ends of the plurality of bars are secured in the first beam by a translating and rotating movement.
- the second ends of the plurality of bars are inserted through openings in the second beam. Parts of the second ends are expanded in order to form protrusions which are shaped such that the second ends are secured in the second beam.
- the second beam is preferably a tubular element with an upper wall and a lower wall.
- a first protrusion adjacent to the upper wall and a second protrusion adjacent to the lower wall are formed for each bar.
- the second beam is formed with an upper wall and an open underside. More generally a first protrusion and a second protrusion are preferably provided which are adjacent to an inner or outer wall of the beam at a first and a second location along a bar.

Description
- The present invention relates to a closing part, typically a closing part for a gate or a fence, comprising a first beam, a second beam and a plurality of bars extending between the first beam and the second beam.
- Such closing parts are known and are for instance described in the Netherlands patent applications
NL 1007535 NL 2006096 EP 0 916 855 in the name of applicant. -
WO 98/11311 balusters 16.Figures 2 and 3 show how these balusters are mounted in a railing 12.Baluster 16 is provided with two elongate thickened portions 42, 44 which are interrupted at the position of numerals 46, 48, seefigure 2 . Abaluster 16 can in this way be secured in railing 12 by a rotating movement. Railing 12 is provided for this purpose with an opening with recesses 27 which are complementary to the shape of the elongate thickened portions 42, 44. Thickened portions 42, 44 are not arranged by arranging an expanding tool in the second ends of the balusters. -
US 2010/155683 describes a fence with an upper rail 12b, a lower rail 12a and a number of pickets 14. Although the pickets have crushed parts which are intended to secure the pickets in the upper and lower beams, it is not the case that one end of a picket is secured mechanically in the beam by a translating and rotating movement. The outer ends of the pickets are pressed into the beams. Finally,US 2010/155683 does not describe arranging an expanding tool in an outer end of the pickets. - The present invention has for its object to provide a closing part, an assembly for a closing part and a method with which it is possible to assemble a strong closing part with good anticorrosive properties without a welding operation being necessary.
- The first beam and the first ends of the plurality of bars are configured for this purpose to secure the first ends by translation and rotation in the first beam. The second beam is further provided with openings which run through the second beam and through which the second ends of the plurality of bars protrude, wherein parts of the second ends have protrusions which are such that the second ends are secured in the second beam. These protrusions are typically formed by arranging an expanding tool in the second ends of the bars.
- Within the context of the present invention the term "protrusion" refers to a part which is expanded in more or less convex form. It is noted that a protrusion may protrude minimally from the bar and that convex parts which protrude a little can be sufficient to secure the second beam.
- The closing part can in this way be mounted quickly by coupling the bars mechanically to the first beam on one side, this first beam being advantageously closed at the top, and by expanding parts of the second ends of the bars on the other side for the purpose of fixing the second ends in the second beam. Welded connections are in this way not necessary, and an optionally treated outer layer of the beams and bars or a coating on the beams and bars is not affected. If the first beam is used as upper beam it can be closed at the top, thereby avoiding the possibility of dirt entering the upper beam.
- The second beam preferably comprises a tubular element with an upper wall and a lower wall, and the openings for the bars are arranged through the upper and the lower wall. Each bar preferably has at its second end at least one protrusion with a rounded shape. The at least one protrusion is preferably adjacent to the upper and/or lower wall of the second beam. This can for instance be one (relatively large) protrusion adjacent to the upper and lower wall, but can also be two or more protrusions, for instance a first one adjacent to the upper wall and a second one adjacent to the lower wall. According to a variant, the second beam is formed as a reverse U-profile with an upper wall and an open underside. Each bar can in this case be provided with a first protrusion adjacent to an upper side of the upper wall and a second protrusion adjacent to an underside of the upper wall.
- The closing part is preferably configured for placing with the first beam on the upper side, so that the first beam forms an upper beam and the second beam a lower beam. The first beam preferably comprises a tubular element with a closed upper wall and with a lower wall in which openings for the first ends of the bars are arranged. The bars are preferably hollow and are preferably provided at their first ends with at least two hook-shaped recesses. The openings in the lower wall of the first beam are then preferably provided with at least two protruding parts which fit into the at least two hook-shaped recesses, this such that a coupling between the at least two hook-shaped recesses and the at least two protruding parts can be realized by translation and rotation of the first ends.
- The invention also relates to a method for forming a closing part, wherein a first beam is connected by means of a plurality of bars to a second beam. The first ends of the plurality of bars are secured in the first beam by a translating and rotating movement. The second ends of the plurality of bars are inserted through openings in the second beam. Parts of the second ends are expanded in order to form protrusions which are shaped such that the second ends are secured in the second beam.
- The second beam is preferably a tubular element with an upper wall and a lower wall. In an advantageous embodiment a first protrusion adjacent to the upper wall and a second protrusion adjacent to the lower wall are formed for each bar. According to another embodiment, the second beam is formed with an upper wall and an open underside. More generally a first protrusion and a second protrusion are preferably provided which are adjacent to an inner or outer wall of the beam at a first and a second location along a bar.
- Expanding of parts of the second ends of the bars preferably takes place by arranging an expanding mandrel in the second ends of the bars.
- Provided according to another aspect of the invention is a method for securing a bar in a beam of a closing part, wherein at least a first and a second protrusion are arranged, preferably simultaneously, in the bar such that this first and second protrusion are adjacent to an upper or lower wall of the beam. If a beam has only an upper wall, the protrusions can be arranged on an upper and underside of the upper wall. If the beam has an upper and lower wall, there are different options: on either side of an upper wall, or on either side of a lower wall, or a first protrusion adjacent to an upper wall and a second protrusion adjacent to a lower wall. It is further also possible to provide more than two protrusions. If the beam has an upper and lower wall, four protrusions can for instance be formed: on either side of an upper wall and on either side of a lower wall.
- The invention also relates to a closing part, typically a closing part for a fence or a gate, comprising a beam and a plurality of bars extending through the beam, wherein the beam is provided with a number of through-openings through which the plurality of bars protrude, wherein each bar has at least a first and a second protrusion which are adjacent to an inner or outer wall of a beam, are arranged by arranging an expanding mandrel in the bars, and are such that the bars are secured in the second beam.
- Provided according to yet another aspect of the invention is an expanding mandrel for arranging at least two protrusions in a tube, comprising a pull rod guided in a pull tube and having a first end for coupling to a pulling means and having a second end which protrudes from the pull tube and which is provided with a head part, wherein at least a first and a second compressible element are provided on this second end between the head part and the pull tube, wherein a pressing element is received between the first and second compressible elements, this such that the first and the second compressible element are compressed when the pull rod is pulled into the pull tube for the purpose of reducing the distance between the head part and the pull tube.
- The first and second compressible elements are preferably a first and second rubber ring which are arranged around the second end of the pull rod. The pressing element is preferably a pressing ring arranged around the second end.
- An additional pressing ring is preferably further arranged between the pull tube and the first compressible element, wherein the pressing ring, the additional pressing ring and a part of the head part adjacent to the second compressible element preferably have substantially the same diameter as the first and second rubber rings.
- Finally, the invention relates to an assembly for a closing part, typically a closing part for a gate or a fence, comprising a first beam, a second beam and a plurality of bars. The first beam and the first ends of the plurality of bars are formed such that each first end can be secured by translation and rotation in the first beam. The second beam is provided with a number of through-openings through which the second ends of the plurality of bars are insertable, wherein parts of the second ends are configured to be expanded by an expanding tool for the purpose of securing the second ends in the second beam.
- The present invention will be further elucidated on the basis of a number of by no means limitative exemplary embodiments of a closing part according to the invention with reference to the accompanying drawing. In the drawing:
