Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a clip for attaching a mesh panel in a fence with fence posts.
  • a fence is constructed from vertical fence posts which are secured in the ground and are provided with an H-shaped section with grooves on either side of the fence post and panels which are mounted between the fence posts and with their side edges are enclosed in said grooves of the fence posts.
  • the invention is particularly intended for panels of the type composed of wires or rods which are mutually connected in a grid of horizontal and vertical wires.
  • 2D panels are found which are essentially flat because the vertical wires are straight and located in a same plane and 3D panels which are not flat but have a certain thickness and a sort of open wave structure as it were with protruding pointed kinked projections to one side.
  • a disadvantage is that for attaching said different types of panels no universal method or clip exists.
  • a clip is known from EP3.521.536 for mounting mesh panels in a fence post with a U-shaped groove on either side, whereby the clip is provided with notches which are hooked over a vertical wire of the panel and with which the panel is secured on the fence post with the vertical wire in a notch being clamped between the clip and the bottom of the groove.
  • the clip is provided with vertical clip parts with which the clip is hooked into the holes in the legs of the U-shaped groove.
  • a system is known from FR2.908.440 with fence posts with legs that delimit a groove and clips for attaching a mesh panel between the clips and the bottom of the groove.
  • the system can only be used with fence posts with a complex form, the legs of which are provided with inwardly oriented protrusions behind which the clips can be hooked.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a solution to one or more of the aforementioned and other disadvantages.
  • the invention relates to a clip for attaching a panel in a fence, particularly a mesh panel with vertical and horizontal wires, whereby the panel is mounted between vertical fence posts in the form of a profile with grooves delimited by parallel legs of the profile and whereby the panel is attached in the grooves of the profile with its side edges, characterised in that the clip contains a support platelet with a width delimited between two side edges and a supporting edge to rest against the bottom of the groove, said support platelet being intended to be attached horizontally in said groove of the fence post to support a horizontal wire of the panel and containing at least one groove for a vertical wire to said side edge of the panel, whereby said groove is essentially perpendicular to said supporting edge and thus parallel with the legs of the groove, whereby said groove is connected with an edge of the support platelet via an entry for the vertical wire and via a connecting groove which is at least in part parallel or at an angle with the supporting edge.
  • the panel can be hooked via the entry of the support platelet in said groove or in one of said grooves in such a way that the panel with a horizontal wire, preferably the upper horizontal wire, can rest on the support platelet.
  • a horizontal wire preferably the upper horizontal wire
  • the support platelet is a rectangular platelet having a width E, which, apart from a lateral clearance S, is essentially equal to the width F of the groove and a length which is practically equal to the depth of the groove and said entry is machined in a corner of the support platelet on the opposite edge of said supporting edge.
  • the support platelet can move little in the groove and the entry of the support platelet is easily accessible at the entry of the groove.
  • the grooves are connected with the entry of the support platelet via a connecting groove essentially parallel with the supporting edge of the attachment platelet, such that the panel with its vertical wire on a side edge is hooked by a perpendicular motion in a groove of the support platelet.
  • the attachment platelet contains at least a central groove in the middle between the two side edges of the support platelet.
  • Said groove can for example serve for attaching a 2D panel in the middle between the legs of the groove.
  • the attachment platelet contains at least two grooves at a lateral distance from each other and said grooves are connected with the entry via said connecting groove, whereby said grooves are each preferably located at the same lateral distance from an adjacent side edge of the support platelet.
  • Said grooves are intended for mounting a 3D panel, whereby one such groove is intended for mounting the 3D panel with its protruding pointed projections oriented toward one side of the fence and the other groove is intended for mounting with the protrusions oriented toward the other side of the fence.
  • the clip is universal for all commonly used 2D- and 3D panels.
  • said entry tapers off conically from the contour of the support platelet onwards and ends in the connecting groove.
  • the smallest width G of the entry measured relative to a side edge of the support platelet, is such that in mounted condition of the support platelet with a lateral clearance S in a groove (7), said smallest width G increased with said clearance S is smaller than the sum of the diameters of a vertical wire and a horizontal wire of the panel.
  • a panel can only be hooked in the attachment platelet when lifting the panel with its upper horizontal wire over a certain distance above the attachment platelet while holding its side edge in a slightly slanted position relative to the fence post.
  • the panels can no longer be removed as the panels can no longer be tilted in a slanted position and can also only be lifted to a limited extent, thereby hindered by the horizontal wires just under the upper wires.
  • the clips also provide security against theft of the panels.
  • the invention also relates to a fence that is composed of fence posts in the form of a profile with grooves and of panels which are attached between the fence posts by means of clips as described above.
  • the fence posts are formed as a hollow H-profile that is folded in one piece from a metal sheet or band, whereby the bottom of the groove is formed by a transverse wall and the clip is provided with a hook-shaped part with which the clip can be fittingly hooked over the transverse wall.
  • the mounting of the panels between the fence posts does not require a single tool in this case, not for mounting the clips, nor for mounting the panels in the clips.
  • the fence posts can be protected at the top by caps with a clamping section that is firmly clamped in the hollow fence post to make removal of the clips without damaging the fence difficult.
  • the fence 1 shown in figure 1 is constructed from vertical fence posts 2 which are driven in the ground 3 for example and between which panels 4 are attached.
  • the panels 4 are mesh panels which are composed of wires 5 or rods attached to each other, respectively straight rigid wires 5a which at different heights are always enclosed between two horizontal rigid straight wires 5 at a vertical distance A from each other.
  • 2D panels which exist in different sizes and which are typified by the diameters of the wires 5.
  • 2D panels 8/6/8 exist, referring to two horizontal wires 5b of 8 mm, with a vertical wire 5a of 6mm in between.
  • 2D panels 6/5/6 also exist.
  • the fence posts 2 are made in the form of an H-profile 6 with two opposite grooves 7 on either side of the fence post 2 where a panel 4 with a wire 5a fits and is attached in the side edge 8 of the panel 4, for example by means of a clip 9 as shown in figure 4 .
  • the fence posts 2 are made of one single metal sheet or band 10 of which a strip with limited length A is shown in figure 3 and which breadthways B is folded between two side edges 11 along folding lines 12, respectively folding lines 12a and 12b, which extend parallel to the side edges 11 to form the H-profile 6 as shown in figure 2 with a tubular square central part 13 and legs 14 which delimit the grooves 7 and lie in each other's extension in pairs.
  • the folding lines 12 delimit a number of vertical bands which correspond with folding sections of the H-profile 6, respectively bands and folding sections 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 with corresponding widths B15, B16, B17, B18 and B19.
  • the sheet or band 10 On the level of the folding lines 12a, the sheet or band 10 is folded over in a straight angle to form the corners of the tubular square central part 13, whereas on the level of the folding lines 12b the sheet or band 10 is folded over double over 180° until the plate parts touch on either side of the folding line 12b to form the legs 14 with the folding lines 12b on the level of the free ends of the legs 14.
  • the sheet or band 10 is folded such that the side edges 11 touch or practically touch, such that said side edges 11 of the bands 15 can be connected with each other by a welded joint 20.
  • the bands 17 form flat parallel flanks 21 of the H-profile 6, whereas the welded together bands 15 and the band 19 form the transversal walls 22 between the flanks 17.
  • the panels 4 are attached in the grooves 7 with their side edges 8, as shown in figure 4 , by means of clips 9, as shown in the figures 4 to 6 .
  • the clips 9 are formed from die cut platelets 23 for example as shown in figure 7 with a narrowed lip-shaped part 24 which is folded over along a folding zone 25 to form a U-shaped hook-shaped folded over part 25 with which the clip 9 can be fittingly hooked over a transverse wall 22 of the fence post 2 as shown in the figures 4 to 6 and if necessary can be attached to it by means of a screw, rivet or the like.
  • the platelet 23 is folded over at right angles along a folding line 27 to form a rectangular support platelet 28 extending toward the groove 7 with a width E which fits between the legs 14 of the H-profile (6) with a minimum clearance S relative to the width F of the groove 7 and a length which approximately corresponds with the depth of the groove 7.
  • the folding line 27 also forms a supporting edge 27 with which the support platelet 28 rests against a transverse wall 22 of the H-profile 6, said transverse wall 22 also forming the bottom of the groove 7.
  • grooves 29 are provided in the support platelet 28 which extend essentially perpendicular to the direction of the folding line 27 at a distance from each other, respectively two outer grooves 29a and 29b and a central groove 29c.
  • the outer grooves 29a and 29b leave from a connecting groove 30 which is essentially parallel to the folding line 27 and which at one end is connected with a die cut entry 31 in a corner of the support platelet 28 for a vertical wire 5a on the side edge 8 of a panel 4, said entry 31 tapering off conically from the contour of the support platelet 28 onwards and ending in the connecting groove 30.
  • connecting groove 30 runs essentially parallel with only a part the folding line 27 or is at an angle with a part or the entire folding line.
  • the outer grooves 29a and 29b slightly taper from the connecting groove 30 in the direction of the folding line 27 toward each other.
  • the central groove 29c extends perpendicularly to and on both sides of the connecting groove 30.
  • the grooves 29 and 30 have a width of approximately 6mm, such that they can contain all most common wire diameters of vertical wires 5a.
  • Figure 4 shows that a 2D panel 4 is attached in a clip by hooking the panel with a vertical wire 5b via the entry 31 in the central groove 29c, as shown in figure 4 , and lowering the panel 4 until two horizontal wires 5b rest on the support platelet 28.
  • the clip 9 is designed such that hooking is not possible with an installed clip 9 without first lifting the panel with the upper wires 5b above the top of the fence post 2 and slightly tilting it.
  • the support platelet 28 is executed such that in a mounted condition of the support platelet 28, the smallest width G of the entry 31 measured relative to a side edge of the support platelet 28 and increased with the clearance S is smaller than the sum of the diameters of a wire 5a and a wire 5b, such that a panel 4 which rests with its upper wires 5b on the support platelet 28 cannot go through said narrowest width of the entry 13, neither for inserting a vertical wire 5a, nor for retracting it from a groove 29 of the support platelet 28, not even when the support platelet 28 is completely slid in the groove 7 up against the leg 14 on the opposite side of the entry 31 as shown in figure 2 .
  • the panel 4 is held in place between the fence posts by the spacers 32, as shown in figure 8 , in the form of blocks which fit in the grooves 7 of the fence posts 2 and which are provided with a groove 33 in which an outer vertical wire 5a fits.
  • a cap 34 can be clamped at the top of the fence post 2 as shown in figure 11 , which for example is provided with a clamping part that is clamped in the tubular square central part 13 of the fence post 2.
  • a mounted panel 4 even in the absence of a cap 34, can only be lifted up over a limited height corresponding with the distance A between the wires 5b in the clips 9, which prevents the panel 4 from being sufficiently tilted to remove the panel from the clip.
  • the support platelet 28 is executed with a width G of the narrowest opening of the entry 31 of approximately 9mm.
  • the figures 9 and 10 show the mounting of a 3D panel 4 whereby the vertical wires 5a are not straight as with the 2D panels, but contain triangular curved parts which protrude from the plane of the panel, either forward as shown in figure 9 or backward as shown in figure 10 .
  • the groove 29a or the groove 29b is used for attaching a vertical wire 5a and this depending on the situation of figure 9 or figure 10 .
  • fence posts instead of mesh panels 4, can also be used for solid plates or beams which are slid in the grooves 7 with their ends.
  • clips 9 can also be applied on other fence posts than described here, for example clips without hook-shaped section but with a lip instead with which the clip is attached in a groove 7 of a fence post.
  • support platelet 28 is specifically executed for one of said assemblies of a panel 4 and to this end is only provided with one single groove 29. Two or more than three grooves 29 is not excluded either, depending on the type of panels that need to be mounted.
