  • the invention relates toa disassemblable fence made of plastics material intendedfor surrounding a plot of land, a park or any other space, with a barrier.
  • One of the objects of the invention is to obviate these disadvantages, permitting the construction of a disassemblable fence made of plastics materialjwhich has sufficient resistance to shock and with component elements which are of a light weight and the assembly of which, for constructing the fence or for the disassembly of the fence, involves a minimum amount of labor.
  • Another object of the invention is to permit the construction of a disassemblable fence made of plastics material adapted to allow the parts of which the fence proper is composed to be modified in inclination if desired, when the fence is mounted on a piece of land which is sloped to some extent, or for a decorative purpose.
  • FIG. 1 shows a vertical sectional view on the line II of FIG. 2 of a'supporting post carrying two rail members.
  • FIG. 2 shows a fragmentary front view of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 shows a detail, in section, and drawn to a larger scale, showing the method of assembling the component parts of the fence in a detachable manner on a supporting post.
  • FIG. 4 shows a view of details of a strip for positioning a connecting element on a supporting post.
  • FIG. 5 is a view in horizontal section taken on the line V--V of FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 6 is a view in horizontal section similar to FIG. 5 showing a corner post.
  • FIG. 7 is a fragmentary view in perspective showing a fence constructed according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a supporting post a part of which is broken away.
  • the supporting post is constituted by a ho]- low member 1, which is substantially square in crosssection so that it has four walls.
  • each of the walls is provided along its internal face and over its entire height with a recess or housing 2 and with a longitudinal slot 3 extending between the external and internal faces of the wall.
  • the post is mounted on an anchoring piece 5 of conventional type which is anchored in a concrete foundation.
  • each rail member 12 In one of the housings 2 there is engaged for each rail member 12 to be carried thereby a positioning strip 6 made of plastics material (FIG. 4).
  • Each strip 6 is provided with threaded holes 8 and at its central portion with a projection 7, which when the strip is engaged, is guided in the slot 3 associated with the respective housing 2.
  • the projection 7 allows the detachable positioning 'of connecting elements 9 constituted by small plates of plastics material provided-"with beads or relief portions 10 designed to cooperate with grooves or slots 1 1 provided in long rail members 12 of plastics material constituting the fence proper which is thus forrhedby latching of the rail members 12 on the spacer elemen 9.
  • Each connecting element 9 comprises at its central portion a hole 9a (FIG. 2) in which engages, when'the fence is assembled, the projection 7 of a positioning strip 6 constituting the pivoting axis of the connecting element 9 which comprises at equal distance from the hole 9a, and thus from the pivot pin formed by the projection 7, two arcuate slots'l3 (see FIG. 2) through which may pass screws 14 for the detachable fixing and locking of the connection element 9 on the respective positioning strip 6.
  • the distance of the threaded holes 8 from the projection 7 is the same as the distance of the arcuate slots 13 from the hole 9a so that when the projection 7 extends through the hole 9a each arcuate slot 13 is in alignment with one of the threaded holes 8.
  • Each supporting post may be provided at its upper end with a cap 16.
  • FIG. 9 shows a modified constructional form wherein the connecting elements 9 are of the same length as the rail members 12 in order to give the fence improved strength
  • FIG. 10 shows in elevation a rail member 12 mounted on a supporting post of low height, and lined with a reflecting band 17.
  • the reflecting band 17 is held detachably by strips 18 provided with lips 19 and comprising relief portions 20 engaging by self-locking in grooves or slots 21 formed on the external face of the rail member 12.
  • the rail members 12 constituting the fence proper which may be of considerable length and also those which are provided with the reflecting band 17 may be provided at each end with plugs 22 of plastics material (FIGS. 5 and 6).
  • This face can be assembled quickly on a flat piece of ground or a piece of ground having a certain amount of slope, and the spacing and the number of the rail members 12 constituting this fence can be modified by simple displacement in the housings 2 of the positioning strips 6 and consequently the connecting elements 9 associated therewith relative to the supporting posts 1, which can be brought due to the shape of the slots 13, by simple pivoting movement into a position allowing the rail members 12 to be situated parallel to the slope of the land on which the fence is set up, and locked in this position by means of the screws 14.
  • A' positioning strip 6 is inserted from above into a housing 2 of the hollow member I, mounted on an end piece 5, so that its projection 7 extends through the slot 3 of the housing 2.
  • a connecting element 9 is positioned onto the positioning strip so that the projection 7 extends through the hole 9a in the element. Screws 14 are inserted through the arcuate slots 13 of the element 90 into the threaded holes 8 in the positioning strip 6 and are tightened. Before full tightening of the screws the angular position of the element 9 is adjusted as required.
  • a rail member is then slipped onto the element 9. The parts of the slot through which extends the projection 7 are above and below the element 9 covered with decorative strips cut to a suitable length. Also the remaining slots 3 are covered by elements 15. Finally a cap 16 is positioned on top of the member 1.
  • An assembly for the construction of a fence comprising,
  • each of said posts having a longitudinal groove extending along one surface thereof and said grooves each having a bottom formed interiorly of said post, a pair of sides extending outwardly from said bottom and an outer panel formed of a pair of abutment edges extending from said sides toward one another to form a slot therebetween narrower than the space between said sides,
  • connecting element having an aperture formed therein and said aperture receiving said pin, said connecting element formed with first and second arcuate openings, respectively, on either side of said aperture,
  • first and second releasable fastening means extending, respectively, through said arcuate openings, through said bracket, and into said bottom surface
  • said connecting element can be longitudinally located with respect to its post by sliding said bracket in said groove and angularly located by pivoting about said pin.
