Definitions
- the following description relates to an elastic non-metal clip and an assembled fence including the same.
- the vertical bar installed with the spring-type clip is inserted into a mating hole on the transverse bar; the convex parts on two sides of the spring-type clip automatically pop up inside the mating hole of the transverse bar, and are locked by being propped against the inner upper surface and the inner lower surface of the transverse steel bar.
- the metal clip shall be installed inside the vertical bar in advance, and the vertical bar and the transverse bar shall be assembled at the installation site.
- the spring-type clip mounted inside the vertical bar and the vertical bar with the spring-type clip mounted inside may be easily damaged, and may easily scratch other parts such as the vertical bar in the transportation process;
- a rubber ring shall be arranged around the mating hole of the transverse bar for the vertical bar for waterproof sealing and for protecting the surface coating from being damaged due to collision between the transverse bars and the vertical bars; moreover, the metal clip itself is high in cost.
- a method of constructing a fence where a plurality of spaced-apart posts by planting the bases of the posts in concrete footings in the ground, and connecting bearers to the posts by feeding projections on the bearers into openings in the posts and interlocking the bearers with the post by locating portions of the posts below the openings within slots in some of the bearer projections so as to form a structure having an upper bearer and a lower bearer between each pair of adjacent, spaced-apart posts.
- a series of upright or substantially upright bars are then connected to the bearers by feeding the bars into openings in the bearers and deforming a portion of each bar so as to lock the bars to the bearers.
- CN 203626389 U relates an elastic non-metal clamping ring for fence assembly.
- an elastic non-metal clip according to appended claim 1 is provided.
- a groove may be formed in the middle of the bump on the inner wall of the main body.
- the main body may be made from plastic or rubber.
- the clip may include at least one inwardly protruding bump on the inner wall and at least one inwardly inclined face below the flange.
- an assembled fence according to appended claim 5 is provided.
- a groove may be formed in the middle of the bump on the inner wall of the main body; and a tab matching with the groove in the middle of the bump is formed on at least one clamping hole of the vertical bar.
- the clip may include at least one inwardly protruding bump on the inner wall and at least one inwardly inclined face below the flange of the clip.
- the cross section of the transverse bar may be in an inverted U-shape.
- the cross section of the transverse bar may be in a rectangle shape.
- the vertical bar has an M-shaped cross section.
- the transverse bar may have a trapezoid shaped inserting hole.
- the vertical bar may be a hollow bar or a solid bar.
- the bump 3-7 is configured to be inserted into a clamping hole 9-1 on the vertical bar 9 (see FIG. 4 ); and the lower end face 3-8 of the bump 3-7 is configured to be propped against an orifice 9-3 of the clamping hole 9-1 on the vertical bar 9.
- the clip may further include one or more flat side walls 3-10 (without any bumps or inclined side faces) extending vertically from the lower end face of the outward extending flange 3-1.
- the one or more flat side walls 3-10 may protect the vertical bars from being scratched by the transverse bars during the assembly of the fence and may be the same length as, longer, or shorter than the length of the other sections of the clip.
- the main body 3' may be made from plastic or rubber.
- the clip may include at least one inwardly inclined face 3-5 on the outer wall below the flange 3-1 of the clip and at least one inwardly protruding bump 3-7 on the inner wall.
- An inwardly inclined face 3-5 on the outer wall below the flange 3-1 of the clip may be located at a location on the side wall of the clip corresponding to the location of an inwardly protruding bump 3-7 on the inner wall (see FIG. 2 ), or may be located at different locations on the side wall.
- a groove 3-9 is formed in the middle of the bump 3-7 on the inner wall of the main body 3' (see FIG. 2 ); and a tab 9-2 matched with the groove 3-9 in the middle of the bump 3-7 is formed on at least one clamping hole 9-1 of the vertical bar 9 (see FIG. 4 ).
- the cross section of the transverse bar 10 may be in an inverted U-shape (see FIG. 5 ).
- the inserting hole on the side (e.g., the upper side) corresponding to the bottom of the U-shape is matched with the size of the clip, and the opening on the side (e.g., the lower side) facing the bottom of the U-shape allows adjustment to the angle between the transverse bar and the vertical bar to deviate from 90 degrees when needed.
- Such a configuration allows for the assembled fence to adapt to any uneven surface that it is installed upon.
- the cross section of the transverse bar 10 may be in a rectangle shape, where the inserting hole diameter 10A-1 on a first end face of the inserting hole 10A of the transverse bar 10 may be smaller than the inserting hole diameter 10A-2 on a second end face facing the first end face (see FIG. 3 ).

- the squeezed inclined face 3-5 is released by the hole wall of the inserting hole 10A of the transverse bar, so that the inclined face 3-5 pops out (of the squeezed state) and enters into a hollow cavity in the middle of the transverse bar; a side wall (e.g, a single side wall) 10-1 of the transverse bar 10 and the clamping groove 3-6 are then engaged and locked (i.e., the side wall 10-1 is inserted into the clamping groove 3-6), at which time, the side wall 10-1 of the transverse bar 10 keeps an upward and downward locked relationship with the main body 3' due to the function of the clamping groove 3-6, so that the main body 3' cannot move upward or downward, to keep the non-metal (e.g., rubber) clip and transverse bar fixed to each other.

- the hole bearing side of the vertical bar e.g., the upper edge of the lower clamping hole 9-1 comes into contact with the cambered surface of the bump 3-7 on the inner wall of the main body 3' and the bump 3-7 is squeezed once again (e.g., by the upper edge of the lower clamping hole 9-1) to move out of the clamping hole 9-1 of the vertical bar 9.
- the second vertical bar clamping hole 9-1 (e.g., the upper clamping hole 9-1) is just matched with (reaches the position of) the bump 3-7 on the inner wall of the main body 3', the hole bearing side of the vertical bar is released from the squeezed state, so that the bump 3-7 on the inner wall of the main body 3' pops up and enters into the second vertical bar clamping hole 9-1, at which time, the tab 9-2 on the second vertical bar clamping hole 9-1 keeps a downward locking relation with the groove 3-9 in the middle of the bump 3-7 on the inner wall of the main body 3', so that the vertical bar cannot be continuously inserted downwards; and an orifice 9-3 (e.g., a lower edge) of the second vertical bar clamping hole 9-1 keeps an upward locking relation with the lower end face 3-8 of the bump 3-7 on the inner wall of the main body 3', so that the vertical bar cannot be pulled upwards, thus keeping a locked relation between the main body 3' and the vertical bar 9.
