Definitions

  • the field of the invention is that of the design and manufacture of fences.
  • the invention relates to a base plate for making fences, as well as a fence using one or more base plates conforming to the invention.
  • Fences conventionally comprise posts whose lower end is secured to the ground generally in such a way that they extend essentially vertically, and at least one separation element secured to the posts.
  • Base plates are sometimes placed at the base of a fence under the dividing elements.
  • the fence base plates fit into the post rebates. They allow a better finish, protect the fence during mowing, and can serve as a light ground retainer. They can be made of concrete, composite, steel or aluminum. Those made of steel or aluminum have the advantage of being light but like all the plates currently on the market (those made of concrete in particular), they are not compatible with all types of posts.
  • the document WO2013/089560A2 discloses a fence base which includes the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention meets this need by proposing a fence base adapted to be positioned between two fence posts, which fence base is in the form of an elongated plate whose opposite side edges are each intended to engage in a longitudinal rebate of a fence post arranged opposite the plate, the thickness of the plate at the level of the opposite side edges being able to be adapted to that of the longitudinal rebate of a post by means of two folding tabs arranged respectively in the upper part and in the lower part of each of the opposite side edges and configured to engage in an unfolded or at least partially folded position with the walls of the rebate.
  • the invention thus proposes a base plate whose longitudinal ends are adaptable to the width of the rebate of the posts while making it possible to obtain good support during its installation.
  • the thickness of the plate at the level of the opposite side edges is equal to a first value in an unfolded position of the two legs and equal to a second value, less than the first value, in a folded position of both legs.
  • the elongated plate is delimited by an upper longitudinal rim and a lower longitudinal rim connected by the opposite lateral edges, the upper longitudinal rim having a first type of folding tab at each of its ends and the rim lower longitudinal having a second type of folding tab at each of its ends.
  • each tab extends between one end of an upper or lower longitudinal rim and a cutout made in said upper or lower rim respectively allowing the folding of the corresponding tab.
  • the invention also relates to a fence comprising: - at least two posts each comprising at least one longitudinal groove forming a rebate, and - at least one fence base as described above which is intended to be placed between the two posts by making its components cooperate opposite side edges with a rebate of each of said posts by means of two folding tabs arranged respectively in the upper part and in the lower part of each of the opposite side edges of said plate, said tabs engaging in an unfolded position or at least partially folded with the walls of the rebate.
  • the fence structure 1 illustrated on the figure 1 comprises vertical posts 2 spaced from each other and planted in the ground S, between which are positioned in the lower part two base plates 3 of fence superimposed/stacked one on the other and in the upper part a trim element 4 .
  • the trim element 4 is here in the form of a mesh (it could alternatively be one or more solid or perforated concealing panels).
  • the fence posts 2 are made of concrete or metal. They include two longitudinal rabbets 21, or ribs, arranged on either side of each post 2, and which extend over at least part of their height (in this case over their entire height). It is in these rebates 21 that the longitudinal ends of the base plates 3 of the fence are fitted, as well as the longitudinal ends of the trim elements 4, to maintain them in a vertical plane.
  • the longitudinal rebates 21 have a square or rectangular cross section as in the example of the figure 2 .
  • the fence base is in the form of an elongated plate, with a longitudinal axis L, having several meters in length (for example of the order of 2m or 2.50m) and a height equal to 25 cm or a multiple of this height.
  • This plate is made of steel or aluminum.
  • the posts 2 of the fence are spaced apart by a distance corresponding substantially to the length of a base plate 3, the opposite ends of a base plate 3 being intended to be slid inside the grooves forming rebates of two consecutive posts.
  • the rabbets 21 of the posts 2 are therefore intended to hold the two base plates 3 by their longitudinal ends ( figure 1 ).
  • the fixing of each base plate 3 to the post 2 is ensured by the complementary shapes of the rebate 21 and a longitudinal end of the base plate 3 ( figure 2 ) which prohibit the removal of the base plate 3 from the post 2, except by sliding the base plate 3 along the longitudinal rebate 21.
  • the base plate 3 is a folded sheet metal which has a central part 31 which is not flat and symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis L of the plate.
  • the central part 31 is bordered by a high or upper rim 32 and a lower or lower rim 33 ( figures 3 And 6 ) in the direction of mounting the plate between two posts.
  • the upper edge 32 is curved so as to form an “L”. It comprises a first flat portion 321 extending perpendicularly to the central part 31 of the plate and a second flat portion 323 extending the first portion via an inclined connecting portion 322, the second portion 323 extending perpendicularly to the first portion 321 and parallel to the central part 31 of the plate.
  • the lower edge 33 is flat and extends perpendicular to the central part 31 of the plate.
  • the upper edge 32 and the lower edge 33 extend on the same side of the base plate 3.
  • the two opposite lateral edges of the base plate 3 of the fence are identical and are intended to fit into one of the two longitudinal rebates 21 of a fence post 2 which is arranged at the end of the base plate 3.
  • the thickness of these upper 32 and lower 33 edges at the level of the longitudinal ends of the base plate 3 can be adapted depending on the type of fence post, and more particularly the width of the longitudinal rebate 21 of the post into which a longitudinal end of the base plate 3 must be inserted.
  • two pre-cut tongues 34, 35 extend on the opposite lateral edges of the base plate 3, at the level of the longitudinal end of each upper rim 32 and lower 33.
  • Each of the four tongues 34, 35 of the base plate 3 is made by a cutout in the sheet metal forming the plate, this cutout being made on each upper edge 32 and lower 33.
  • a tongue 34 of a first type extends between the longitudinal end of the upper rim 32 and a straight cutout 34' ( figure 2 ) parallel to the edge of this end.
  • the distance between the cutout 34' and the edge defines the width of the tongue 34 which is complementary to that of the longitudinal rebate of the fence post 2 in which the base plate 3 is intended to be inserted, to allow the desired integration.
  • the cutout 34' extends from the free edge of the second portion 323 over the entire height of the latter, and extends onto the connecting portion 322 then onto part of the first portion 321.
  • This tongue 34 in a first position called deployed ( figure 2 ) extends the first and second portions 321, 323 of the high rim 32.
  • the tongue 34 is folded into a U so that the thickness e' of the high rim 32 over the width of the folded tongue 34 ( Figure 4 ) is less than the thickness e of the high rim 32 on the part of the base plate 3 extending between the two opposite tongues 34.
  • the first portion 341 of the tongue 34 has been pivoted by 90° towards the inside of the plate and then extends parallel to the central part 31 of the plate and to the second portion 323 of the high rim 32
  • the second portion 343 has been pivoted by 90° towards the inside of the plate and then extends parallel to the first portion 321 of the high rim 32 ( Figure 3 ).
  • the second portion 343 is connected to the first portion 341 by the connecting portion 342.
  • the tongue 35 of a second type extends between the longitudinal end of the lower rim 33 and a straight cutout 35' ( Figure 6 ).
  • the distance between the cutout 35' and the longitudinal end of the lower edge 33 defines the width of the tongue 35 which is complementary to that of the longitudinal rebate 21 of the fence post 2 in which the plate is intended to be inserted, to allow the desired integration.
  • the width of the tongue 35 is equal to that of the tongue 34 in the two positions of these tongues 34, 35.
  • the tongue 35 is folded so that the thickness e' of the lower edge 33 over the width of the folded tab 35 ( Figure 6 ) is less than the thickness e of the lower rim 33 on the part of the base plate 3 extending between the two opposite tongues 35.
  • the base plate of the invention made of steel for example, is compatible with different posts.
  • the method of fixing this plate in the rebate of the post does not require the addition of an interface between the post and the steel blade but consists of possibly folding, during installation, a “pre-cut tongue” of the steel plate to allow its embedding in the post.
  • This solution is versatile and can be installed with several posts due to this folding tongue which allows the plate to be adapted to rabbets of 35 mm (the tongues being folded in this case) or 45 mm (the tongues being deployed in this case). case), for example.
  • ends of the plate have in the two positions of the tongues a square or rectangular (horizontal) cross section which is complementary to that of the longitudinal rebates of the fence posts 2, to allow the desired integration.
  • the longitudinal grooves forming a rebate can be formed in the structure of the posts themselves or be made up of one or more elements forming grooves attached to the posts. These longitudinal grooves have a constant width all along the post (in other words, the width of the grooves is identical over the entire length of the grooves).
  • a plate can be made of metal such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy or other. It can for example be a sheet metal. It can also be made of composite material.
