Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bar fence panel, free of any welding. It also relates to a fence, and in general to a closure or concealment device comprising one or more of these panels, a kit for assembling such a panel, as well as a method for assembling such a panel. .
  • a barred fence panel traditionally made of metal, conventionally comprises an upper rail and a lower rail to which are fixed several bars, generally vertical, spaced from each other.
  • the fence panels are assembled to each other and fixed at each of their ends to posts, thus forming a barred fence making it possible to materialize a separation between two plots or to circumscribe an enclosed space.
  • the panels have a definitive shape and cannot be dismantled or rearranged structurally. Due to their size and their difficulty in being handled by an operator, the loading and transport of such welded panels is tedious, and requires the use of transport vehicles and loading means adapted to these constraints.
  • a fence panel whose bar is welded, requires rigorous manufacturing assisted by a template to allow good geometry and compliance with the pitch between each bar.
  • the document EP 2725171 describes a non-welded fence panel in which the bars are fixed to the upper and lower rails by means of a clip passing through through holes provided in the vicinity of the respective upper and lower ends of said bars.
  • WO 2017144812 describes a system for assembling bars, and more specifically a system for assembling bars two by two, by means of complementary connecting pieces.
  • the staples and the additional connecting pieces constitute attached fastening systems, that is to say additional pieces which are not an integral part of the healds and bars.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a seamless fence panel to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • the invention aims in particular to provide such a seamless fence panel, which is simpler and less expensive to manufacture than the panels of the state of the art.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such a seamless fence panel, the number of component parts of which is reduced compared to the panels of the state of the art.
  • the panel of the invention allows assembly of its various constituent parts without resorting to welding, in particular without welding of the bars with the smooth ones, due to the means with which the various parts are provided, ensuring a blocking of said bars according to appropriate and previously selected positions, resulting from the location of the indentations provided within the plates.
  • This panel constitutes an alternative to welded panels, and advantageously makes it possible to dispense with a template and to reduce manufacturing costs.
  • the absence of welding also offers the advantage of being able to deliver the component parts of the panel in the form of a kit to be assembled. This saves time for manufacturing in the factory, and leads to a reduction in the manufacturing costs of the panel.
  • the kit is also less bulky than the assembled panel, which facilitates transport in addition to reducing transport costs and, in general, the associated logistics.
  • the bars are assembled with the plates, and in a first embodiment, are typically simply housed in the notches provided within said plates.
  • the latter slide in the heddles then acting as a slide, so that the ends of the bars are inserted into the heddles.
  • the presence of a longitudinal slot running over all or part of the length of the stringers, and the indentations provided in the plates receiving the bars, allows the insertion of the bars in the smooth as the progression of the plates within the smooth, the displacement of the bars relative to the smooth as they are positioned on the plates , as well as the maintenance of the bars in position at regular intervals or not.
  • the bars are in fact blocked along their main dimension (in this case perpendicular to the healds) by the face of said healds opposite to the face provided with the longitudinal slot. There is therefore no longer any need for any welding, or the implementation of any added piece to secure the bars to the rails.
  • the bars are provided in the vicinity of their two ends with a partial transverse cutout, intended to allow a firmer attachment of the bars to the plates, and therefore as a corollary between the heddles, resulting from the sliding of the cutouts at the bottom of the indentations.
  • the relative positioning of the bars between them between the heddles can be regular or not, said positioning resulting from the location at regular (constant) pitch or not of the indentations formed within the upper and lower plates.
  • the insertion of the transverse cutouts of the bars in the indentations provided within the plates prevents any movement of the bars in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the plates (and of the smooth ones).
  • the panel is positioned in a conventional manner on the ground, the stringers and the plates being substantially horizontal and parallel to the ground, and the bars being substantially vertical and perpendicular to the ground, to the plates and to the heddles, then the cooperation between the cutouts and the indentations makes any vertical movement of the bars impossible.
  • the walls of the heddle which define the longitudinal slot enclose to the j had near the end of the bar. They thus constitute a horizontal stop which prevents the bar from tilting or moving in a plane parallel to the arm (horizontal direction).
  • the width of the indentations provided within the plates is close to the clearance near one of the dimensions of the cross section of the end of the bars. In doing so, said bar comes to rub against the internal edge of the notch considered during its assembly with the plate. Once the bar and the plate are assembled, the cooperation of the internal edge of the notch against the periphery of the end of the bar opposes the movement of the bar in a direction parallel to the plane of the plates (horizontal direction).
  • the stringers are closed on the top (and therefore also on the bottom when the panel is in place), that is to say that the wall of the stringers which is opposite the wall defining the longitudinal slot is solid.
  • the ends of the bars therefore do not cross this wall, and are enclosed between the smooth.
  • the invention also relates to fences incorporating such a panel. It is also aimed at a kit of the various elements entering into the constitution of this panel. Finally, it relates to a method for producing such a panel.
  • the invention relates to a seamless fence panel in which rungs are fixed to rails without an attached fixing system.
  • This fence panel is simple and quick to assemble, and can advantageously take the form of a kit, the transport of which is simplified compared to a pre-assembled panel.
  • the assembly of a seamless fence panel according to one embodiment of the invention is shown in the figures 1 to 5 , and the assembled panel is shown in the figure 6 .
  • the panel (1) comprises an upper smooth (2) and a lower smooth (3), parallel to each other.
  • the terms “upper” and “lower” are understood according to a conventional positioning of the panel, in which said panel is positioned vertically, perpendicular to the ground.
  • the upper (2) and lower (3) stringers are in the form of profiles, preferably metallic, of great length L compared to their width 1 and their height h ( figure 1 and 5 ).
  • the healds (2, 3) are advantageously identical, and therefore capable of being obtained by means of the same die. They comprise a first wall (4), a second wall (5) parallel to the first wall (4), and two side walls (6, 7). These different walls delimit an internal space (8) intended to receive a plate or sheet (20, 21), on which bars (30) are housed.
  • the heddles (2, 3) each comprise two ends (9) provided with an opening (10).
  • the second wall (5) is not closed, and defines a longitudinal slot (11) which opens onto the ends (9), and extends parallel to the main dimension L of said healds (2, 3).
  • the ends (9) and the longitudinal slot (11) thus form a continuous passage.
  • the longitudinal slot is in fact defined by two surfaces (12) facing each other.
  • the healds (2, 3) preferably have a square or rectangular cross-section, the corners of which may optionally be rounded, as particularly illustrated by the figure 4 and 5 .
  • Each of the heddles (2, 3) is intended to receive a plate or sheet (20, 21).
  • the plates or sheets (20, 21) are preferably identical. They have a great length in front of their width and their thickness. They are preferably metal plates, such as for example sheets obtained by rolling. Their length is advantageously identical to the length L of the heddles (2, 3), or less than the latter.
  • the plates (20, 21) are provided with notches (24), in the case described regularly spaced from each other according to a pitch (25) determined.
  • indentation is meant a cutout or notch made from one of the edges of said plates.
  • the notches (24) therefore open out onto one of the longitudinal edges of said plates, and are intended to receive the bars (30) in the vicinity of the ends of the latter.
  • the indentations can have a square, rectangular, circular, elliptical or other shape.
  • the shape and dimensions of the notches are chosen according to the cross section of the bars (30), for example of square cross section, rectangular, circular or elliptical, both in shape and in dimensions.
  • the uncut portions of the plates (20, 21), called remaining portions (26), are located in the extension of the notches (24).
  • the plates (20, 21) are able to slide within the internal space (8) defined by the upper (2) and lower (3) stringers respectively, the latter thus forming a slide.
  • the plates (20, 21) have a width less than the width 1 of the heddles (2, 3).
  • the insertion of the plates (20, 21) in the heddles (2, 3) can be carried out by hand by a user, or by a machine adapted for this purpose.
  • the panel (1) also includes bars (30).
  • the bars (30) are in the form of profiles, preferably metallic, of great length compared to their width and their thickness.
  • the bars (30) are preferably all identical. They each comprise two ends (31, 32), advantageously provided with a first transverse cutout (33) and a second transverse cutout (34).
  • the cutouts (33, 34) are said to be transverse, in that they are perpendicular to the length of the bar (30), and therefore parallel, when mounting, to the plane in which the plates (20, 21) fit.
  • the width of these cutouts (33, 34) corresponds, except for clearance, to the thickness of said plates (20, 21).
  • the bars (30) are intended to be housed, near their respective ends, within the notches (24) made in the plates (20, 21).
  • at least one of the dimensions of the cross-section of the ends (31, 32) of the bars equal to the clearance close to the width of the said indentations (24).
  • the desired objective is to receive said bars (30), then to block them, possibly flexible, in the horizontal direction (in the example described), and in general, in the main direction of the heddles. (2, 3).
  • This blocking can be made firmer, by the cooperation of the transverse cutouts (33, 24) with the indentations (24) of the plates (20, 21), as has been represented more precisely on the figure 4 and 5 .
  • the first and second transverse cutouts (33, 34) are inserted on either side of the bottom in particular of the indentations (24) when the bar is in place within the latter.
  • the inner edge (27) of the notches (24) is placed opposite, preferably in contact, the bars (30), and at least a part of the remaining portions (26) of the plates (20, 21) is inserted in the transverse cutouts (33, 34).
  • the bars (30) are supported and held in position by the plates (20, 21), on the one hand, due to the housings defined by the notches (24) and on the other hand, due to the cooperation of the cutouts transverse (33, 34) with the remaining portion (26) of the plates (20, 21). It is thus not necessary to maintain the bars (30) in the manual position or by means of a machine or a jig during assembly before their insertion into the stringers (2, 3), which greatly facilitates and accelerates the assembly of the panel ( 1).
  • the cooperation of the transverse cutouts (33, 34) with the notches (24) prevents any displacement of the bar (30) in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the plates (20, 21), that is to say, in the example described, in a vertical direction.
  • the various component parts of the panel (1) as described above, namely the smooth (2, 3), the plates (20, 21), and the bars (30), can be in the form of a kit intended to be assembled by a user to obtain the panel.
  • the rigidity and the maintenance of the structure are only obtained during the final assembly with the posts of the fence.
  • the kit for assembling the panel according to the invention, as well as the panel itself do not require any pre-assembly on the posts.
  • the panel (1) is in fact self-supporting, and suitable for being assembled on posts (41) to form a fence (40), the latter also being an object of the invention and illustrated on the figure 7 and 8 .
  • the fence (40) comprises posts (41) between which extend seamless fence panels (1) as previously described.
  • Each of the posts (41) comprises housings (42), on at least one of its faces, which receive one end of the panels (1), in particular one end of the stringers (2, 3).
  • the invention also relates to a method for assembling a seamless fence panel as described above.
  • the various constituent elements of the panel namely the plates (20, 21) and the bars (30) are obtained according to conventional locksmithing and cutting techniques, the stringers being produced by profiling. These elements are typically made of steel, or even in galvanized steel. They can be the subject of a finishing operation before being assembled. Such a finishing operation is, for example, powder coating.
  • This surface treatment operation consists, in a known manner, in applying a powder paint, for example polyester, to a metal part, then baking the metal part in the oven, typically between 200 and 250°C for about twenty minutes. so coated.
  • This technology makes it possible to combine optimal quality in terms of aesthetics, chemical and mechanical resistance and cost control.
  • the various constituent parts of the fence panel can be positioned relatively close to each other on the overhead conveyor conveying them to the level of the place of projection of the polyester powder, then within the baking oven, making it possible to significantly increase, and of the order of 50%, the productivity of this finishing operation compared to this same operation on a finished and assembled panel of the prior art, due in particular to the consequent percentage of daylight, inherent the distance separating each of the rungs on such a finished panel.
  • the bars (30) are thus positioned relative to the healds (2, 3) as the plates (20, 21) slide in said healds (2, 3).
  • the plates are slid within the heddles (2, 3) as the bars (30) are assembled with the plates (20, 21).
  • the resulting panel (1) can then be attached to fence posts (41) to form a fence (40).
