Description

Modular Fence

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a fence, of the type that are constituted by a plurality of inter-coupling modules with each other, in order to define an enclosure which may partially or totally affect the perimeter of a surface, such as a lot.

The object of the invention is to get a fence that together with its basic function may constitute a support  advertising, and this with greater stability guarantees, versatility and longevity.

Background of the invention

In the practical scope of the invention modular fences are known in which each module incorporates a frame with its long vertical uprights in lower legs, frame to which a sheet is fixed by rivets which parallel to the enclosure surface constitutes a advertising support, fixing the modules to each other by lateral "plugging" for what one of its edges counts with appendices that are introduced in complementary holes of the opposite edge.

Uprights are plugged into shoes of concrete provided with holes in this regard.

This solution presents a problem that is It focuses primarily on the following aspects:

-

The stability of the fence is very low against more winds or less intense, as well as against mechanical actions exterior on it.

-

The fence incorporates sharp edges and vertices that constitute a risk permanent accidents

-

The form of fixation between modules does not allow more than the establishment of straight sections, not adapting to lots with curved enclosure edges.

-

The rivets for fixing the closing plates spoil frequently the advertising posters and also require holes previously made in the armor, which give rise to subsequent oxidation points.

-

The fence can be easily disassembled, which facilitates the Theft of your modules. If you want to solve this problem, solution is to fix the lower end of the vertical amounts of the reinforcement in concrete footings made directly on the ground, which makes the fence it is extraordinarily complicated assembly, seeing its private mobility modules that is sometimes necessary, by example, to establish temporary access, to make a also temporary change of its trajectory, etc.

Description of the invention

The fence proposed by the invention resolves the problem was fully satisfactory before exposed, in each and every one of the aspects mentioned.

To do this and more specifically said fence, maintaining the modular character mentioned above with previously, it presents each module materialized in a panel type sandwich, structured based on two pre-lacquered steel sheets with an intermediate layer of polyurethane, the panel being framed by a frame materialized in turn in a tubular steel profile, which It gives great rigidity to the whole.

The panel incorporates in its lateral edges pairs of welded hooks to the perimeter profile and destined to be introduced in holes operatively practiced in the support pillars, which are constituted in turn by two pieces, a vertical pillar of union between panels, materialized in a steel tube with four receiving holes of the aforementioned hooks, and an oblique and rear-facing strut, screwed to the vertical pillar, and finished off like the latter, by its lower end, by removable fixing means, preferably by screwing, through which said struts are related to concrete footings recessed in the ground, in order to achieve optimum
stability.

According to another of the characteristics of the invention, each strut incorporates a metal part by way of washer axially attachable to its upper extremity, up to a boundary situation where it stops on one of the hooks of the panels located between said pillar, standing immediately above said washer a through screw that immobilizes axially said washer and which, consequently, prevents lifting of the hooks belonging to the aforementioned modules adjacent, avoiding at the same time the dismantling of them with what The risk of theft is minimized.

Finally, it should be noted that, in order to allow the introduction of doors on the fencing constituted by the fence, the panel-frame assembly is planned constitutive of the enclosure surface may occasionally join hingedly to the pillars holding the fence by one of its ends, incorporating at the opposite end a complementary lock of the corresponding pillar, and where appropriate, with its complementary handle.

In this sense, if the width of the panel is excessively large, such as to constitute doors of access to vehicles, on the lower part of the frame, at the end free of it will be available a wheel or roller that facilitates the opening and closing operations of it.

Likewise, the constituent panels of the doors may constitute elements that can be carried advertising information about them.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the fence that is recommended, and more specifically every module of the same, is constituted by a rectangular frame (1), preferably materialized in a steel tube of, by example 50 mm. of diameter by 1.5 mm. thick, frame (1) that encloses a sandwich panel, based on two steel plates pre-lacquered (2) and an intermediate layer of polyurethane (3), for example 30 mm of thickness.

Each panel incorporates in its lateral edges, specifically in the vertical sections of its perimeter frame (3), two pairs of hooks (4), oriented downwards and outwards, some near the upper end of the fence and others relatively close to its lower extremity, hooks intended to be locked in holes (5) operatively established in the pillars (6) that support the fence itself.

Each of these pillars (6) materializes in a vertical pillar, which corresponds to the reference itself (6), consisting of a steel tube, and a posterior and oblique pillar (6 ') which greatly enhances the stability of the set.

These pillars (6-6 ') are finished off by its lower extremity in two fixing elements (7) detachable, fastened by screws (8) to respective shoes of concrete (9), which in turn are intended to become partial or totally buried in the ground, getting this way not only a high degree of solidity or structural rigidity due to embedding of the shoes and the existence of the back pillar and oblique, but also that by the detachable nature of the fasteners (7) a panel can be disassembled with respect to the rest of the fence, to establish a temporary step or For any other cause.

As a complement to the structure described, the vertical pillars (6), for its rounded upper limb (10), receive washers (11) intended to support the upper hooks (4) of two laterally adjacent modules, when the hooks (4) are housed in the holes (5) of the pillar (6), as shown in Figure 4, further presenting said pillar (6) immediately above the work level of the washer (11) a diametral hole (12) that allows implantation of a screw, so that the washer (11) prevents disassembly of the modules and consequently acts as a security element minimizing the risk of theft of the fence.

In accordance with the above and such as can be seen from the observation in figure 3, the absence of rivets, screws or other similar means of fixing between panels (2-3) and its complementary frame (1), make that the modules are usable as advertising media both through his front face as through his back face.

It should also be noted that, as you can observe in figure 5, in order to allow doors to be established of access to the fence defined by the fence, it is expected that the panel-frame assembly (1-2) constitutive of the enclosure surface may occasionally hingedly join (13) to the support pillars (6 ') of the fence at one of its ends, incorporating at the opposite end a complementary lock (14) of the corresponding pillar (6``), which can be equipped with the complementary handle (15).

As can be seen in Figure 6, when the panel (2) is intended to constitute access doors to vehicles, on the lower part of the frame, at the free end a wheel or roller (16) will be available to facilitate the opening and closing operations of it.
