Abstract
A fence system includes hollow post structures and upper and lower rail structures each comprising a hollow rail and a rail mounting bracket for mounting the rail to each post structure. Hollow balusters may also extend between the upper and lower rail structures. At least one of the hollow structural members, preferably including each of the rails, includes a pultruded structure and preferably a topcoat which is co-extruded with the pultruded structure. The pultruded structure provides substantially increased strength and the topcoat a highly colorable and long-wearing decorative outer layer, the latter preferably formed of acrylic or polyvinyl chloride. The rail mounting brackets are preferably injection molded with a substrate and a topcoat which matches the topcoat of the structural members.
Description
- 1. Technical Field
- The invention relates generally to a fencing system or railing system. More particularly, the invention relates to such a system which includes hollow structural members including a pultruded structure. Specifically, the invention relates to such structural members wherein the pultruded structure serves as a substrate which is coated by an extruded decorative top coat.
- 2. Background Information
- The field of fencing systems and railing systems includes configurations which include generally hollow members, in particular the posts and rails extending therebetween. This may also include balusters which extend between upper and lower rails. These various structural members are typically extruded and most often are made of various types of plastic materials. One of the drawbacks with such fencing systems is the difficulty in providing high-strength members, especially with regard to the rails. In addition, the decorative layers of such structural members is typically very thin and thus is easily scratched off or worn away. Alternately, the decorative outer layers have colors that fade in the weather, particularly with regard to degradation by sunlight. The present invention solves these and other problems, as will be discerned by the following description.
- The present invention provides a fencing system comprising: a first post; a first rail mounted on the post; and at least one of the post and the first rail including a pultruded structure.
- A preferred embodiment provides an extruded top coat on the at least one of the post and first rail.

Eachupper rail 108 is hollow and elongated betweenfirst end lower rail 114 has afirst end 130 mounted on and supported by lowerrail mounting brackets 116A and asecond end 132 mounted on and supported by lowerrail mounting bracket 116B wherebylower rail 114 extends substantially horizontally between the pair ofadjacent posts 102. Eachlower rail 114 is hollow and elongated betweenfirst end 130 andsecond end 132. - With reference to
FIG. 2 and in accordance with a feature of the invention, eachpost 102 includes apultruded structure 134 which serves as a substrate and atop coat 136 adhered thereto.Pultruded structure 134 includes aninner surface 138 defining aninterior chamber 140 and anouter surface 142.Top coat 136 has anouter surface 144 and aninner surface 146 which is adhered to and in particular strongly bonded toouter surface 142 ofpultruded structure 134. -
Pultruded structure 134 includes a glass matting or mesh formed of any of a variety of glass fibers such as fiberglass embedded in a thermoset resin material. The matting and resin are pulled through a dye to produce the final configuration ofpultruded structure 134.Top coat 136 is a plastic material which is most preferably an acrylic material or alternately a PVC polymer. An acrylic material is thus preferred because it may be colored to produce dark colors which are substantially non-fading in sunlight or other weather conditions. Preferably,top coat 136 is extruded and most preferably simultaneously withpultruded structure 134. It might be said thattop coat 136 is co-extruded withpultruded structure 134, meaning thatstructure 134 is formed by pultrusion at the same time thattop coat 136 is being formed by extrusion wherebytop coat 136 is firmly bonded topultruded structure 134 during this simultaneous formation process. Materials formed by this process may be obtained from Omega Pultrusions Incorporated of Aurora, Ohio. - In accordance with a feature of the invention and with reference to
FIG. 3 ,upper rail 108 is described. It is noted thatlower rail 114 has the same structure asupper rail 108 and is therefore not separately described.Upper rail 108 includes apultruded structure 148 which serves as a substrate and atop coat 150 adhered thereto.Pultruded structure 148 has aninner surface 152 defining aninterior chamber 154 and anouter surface 156.Top coat 150 has anouter surface 158 and aninner surface 160 which is adhered to and more particularly firmly bonded toouter surface 156 ofpultruded structure 148.Pultruded structure 148 is formed of the same materials in the same manner as described with regard topultruded structure 134 andtop coat 150 is formed of the same materials in the same manner as described with regard totop coat 136. - In accordance with a feature of the invention and with reference to
