Post fixing system

The invention relates to a fixing system for a post or post intended in particular for fixing such a post or post to a top surface of a wall or a slab, such as a terrace or a balcony, the surface being able to present an angle with a horizontal.

Generally, the top of a wall, like that of a fence surrounding a lot, or even a terrace has a surface that is generally inclined to allow the flow of rainwater so that it does not stagnate there. When installing a fence on this surface, for example comprising a series of posts between which panels such as slats or mesh are fixed, it is necessary to be able to anchor the posts so that they are vertical for the aesthetics of the fence thus formed. The document AU2010249225 describes a fixing plate for a post or post on a surface having a defect in flatness. The plate comprises anchoring elements distinct from elements for adjusting the flatness in a multidirectional manner. A support plate is positioned beforehand on the surface under the plate in order to overcome the hardness of the surface. However, the result is aesthetically disappointing because a space between the underside of the plate and the surface is visible due to the angle between said surface and the fixing plate.

An object of the invention is to provide a system for fixing a post to a surface making it possible to make up for a lack of horizontality of the surface while being aesthetic.

To this end, there is provided according to the invention a system for fixing a post to a surface, the system comprising a fixing plate comprising a fixing base and means for adjusting a horizontality of the fixing base by relative to the surface, the system further comprising a plate cover covering at least the fixing base, the plate cover being mounted free to rotate and / or translate in a plane orthogonal to a transverse plane in which the fixing base.

Thus, the fact that the fixing system according to the invention comprises a plate cover mounted at least free for rotation and / or translation in a plane orthogonal to the base for fixing the plate makes it possible to orient and position, during from its installation, the platinum cover according to the inclination of the surface which allows to cover, and therefore mask, the space between the underside of the fixing base and the surface present due to the angle between said surface and said fixing base.

Advantageously, but optionally, the assembly according to the invention comprises at least one of the following additional technical characteristics:

- the plate cover comprises a housing for receiving the fixing base;

- The fixing base having a thickness, the housing has a height greater than the thickness;

- The fixing plate comprises a fixing plate projecting perpendicularly from an upper surface of the fixing base;

- the plate cover has an opening for passage of the fixing plate;

- the plate cover comprises means for locking in position the plate cover with respect to the fixing plate;

- The fixing base comprises the means for adjusting a horizontality; and,

the means for adjusting a horizontality include adjustment elements made of polymer, in particular of high density polyethylene.

We will now describe an embodiment of a pole fixing system 1 according to the invention.

The pole fixing system 1 according to the invention mainly comprises a fixing plate 10 and a plate cover 20 intended to cooperate with the fixing plate

10.

The fixing plate 10 comprises a fixing base 12, here in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, surmounted by a fixing plate 11, here in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped too. The fixing plate projects in a manner perpendicular to an upper surface of the fixing base 12. The fixing plate 11 is attached welded to the fixing base 12 at a side face of the short side of the shape rectangular parallelepiped. The fixing plate 11 has fixing holes 110 for a post or post not shown. The fixing orifices 110 are made through a thickness of the fixing plate 11.

The fixing base 12 has a thickness 122 through which are arranged, here two anchoring holes 120 intended to receive, during an implementation, anchoring elements of the fixing plate 10 in a wall. The anchoring holes 120 are located on either side of the fixing plate 11 on a longitudinal median of the fixing base 12, seen from above of the fixing plate 10. On the other hand, the base of attachment 12 includes, still in its thickness, 121 through adjustment holes. The adjustment holes 121 are here threaded. There are four in the case illustrated in the figures. They are arranged in a square on either side of the fixing plate 11. The adjustment holes 121 are intended to receive adjustment elements 3. In an alternative embodiment, the adjustment holes are three in number: by example, two on one side of the fixing plate and one on the other side of the fixing plate 11, in alignment with the anchoring holes 120. Finally, the fixing base 12 has a lower face 123 intended, during an implementation, to come opposite a surface S of a wall or a slab M on which the fixing plate 10 is anchored.

The plate cover 20 is an overall rectangular parallelepiped shape. The plate cover 20 comprises a housing 26 open on a lower face 25 of the plate cover 20. The housing 26 has a height 28 between the lower face 25 of the plate cover 20 and an internal face 27 of an upper wall 29 of the plate cover 20. The upper wall 29 has an upper face 22. In addition, the upper wall 29 has a transverse opening 21 going from the internal face 27 to the upper face 22. This opening 21 is located, here in the center of the upper wall 29. The opening 21 has a shape and dimensions which allow the passage of the fixing plate 11 during an implementation and on the other hand, to receive one end of the post or post intended to be fixed on the fixing plate 11. In particular, the shape of the opening 21 is complementary to that of a section of the post or post whose end is intended to be inserted into said opening 21. A side wall 23 d u plate cover 20 has a transverse hole 24, preferably threaded to receive a clamping element, such as a screw, of the plate cover 20 on the fixing plate 10 with which the plate cover 20 is intended to cooperate during of an implementation. This through hole 24 and the clamping element form locking means in position of the plate cover relative to the fixing plate 10. It should be noted that this through hole 24 is optional and is only present in a variant. for producing platinum cover 20 according to the invention.

Referring to Figure 5, we will describe an example of implementation of the fastening system 1 according to the invention. The top of the wall M has a top surface S which has an inclination a with the horizontal. The fixing plate 10 is fixed to the wall M using anchoring means 2 passing through the anchoring holes 120. The horizontality of the fixing base 12 is adjusted using the four adjustment elements 3 which are engaged by screwing with the threaded adjustment holes 121 and one lower end of which bears on the surface S of the top of the wall M. For example, the adjustment elements 3 are made of polymer, such as high density polyethylene , so as not to damage the top surface S when said adjustment elements are pressed. Once the horizontality of the fixing base 12 has been adjusted, the fixing plate 11 is then in a vertical position which will allow the pole or post to be fixed vertically. The anchoring means 2 are tight. The plate cover 20 of the fixing system 1 according to the invention is then put in place by inserting the fixing plate 11 of the fixing plate 10 through the opening 21 of the plate cover 20 and this until the lower face 25 comes to bear on the surface S of the top of the wall M. This is carried out according to a movement of essentially vertical translation and rotation in a plane orthogonal to a transverse plane in which the fixing base extends. The plate cover 20 then covers the fixing base 12 of the fixing plate 10, the fixing base being received in the housing 26. The upper face 22 then makes an angle a with the horizontal and in with the fixing base 12. The height 28 of the housing 26 of the plate cover 20 is chosen so as to receive at an angle to the fixing base 12. This dimensioning of the housing 26, and therefore of the plate cover 20, allows the latter to be freely mounted for rotation and / or translation in a plane which is orthogonal to a median plane in which the fixing base 12 extends. A clearance, that is to say a maximum value of the angle a, is limited by the relative dimensioning of the height 26 with respect to the thickness 122 of the fixing base 12. It is the same for the possible translational movement. It is chosen so as to cover the current and usual inclinations of the top surface S and, in particular, of the current covers of the market in the case of mounting on the top of a wall, or of patio or patio slabs. balcony.

Such a structure of the fixing system 1 according to the invention makes it possible to hide the unsightly space 6 between the underside of the fixing base 12 which is horizontal and the surface S of the top of the wall or of the slab.

With reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, we will briefly describe the use of the system for fixing a post according to the invention with a double pan cover. The double-pan cover C comprises a first surface SI inclined by an angle a with respect to the horizontal and a second surface S2, symmetrical in mirror of the first surface SI and inclined by an angle a with respect to the horizontal . The fixing plate 10 is fixed to the cover C using the anchoring means 2 passing through the anchoring holes 120. The horizontality of the fixing base 12 is adjusted using the four adjustment elements 3 which are engaged by screwing with the threaded adjustment holes 121 and one lower end of which bears on the surfaces SI and S2 of the cover C on either side of a vertex formed by the first SI and second S2 surfaces. As before, once the horizontality of the fixing base 12 has been adjusted, the fixing plate 11 is then in a vertical position which will allow the pole or the post to be fixed vertically. The anchoring means 2 are tight. The plate cover 20 of the fixing system 1 according to the invention is then put in place by inserting the fixing plate 11 of the fixing plate 10 through the opening 21 of the plate cover 20 and this until the lower face 25 comes to bear in a bottom of grooves F previously made on either side of the fixing base 12, for example simply using a grinder. This positioning is carried out in a substantially vertical translational movement in a plane orthogonal to a transverse plane in which the fixing base 12 extends. The plate cover 20 then covers the fixing base 12 of the fixing plate 10 , the fixing base being received in the housing 26 and the side walls 23 of the plate cover 20 being received in the grooves F. A pole or post P is then put in place and fixed on the fixing plate 11. The system of fixing a post according to the invention can be used in a simple and effective way to ensure the verticality of a post or post thus fixed in an environment of laying surfaces having one or more inclinations relative to the horizontal.

Of course, it is possible to make numerous modifications to the invention without going beyond the scope thereof.
