Definitions

• the invention now advocated consists of a modular construction process for obtaining enclosures based on joints between vertical and horizontal elements.
• This invention characterizes the joining procedures used in modular construction based on the use of breakable screws in plates, bars and profiles.
• the different constituent elements are linked to each other through joining means provided at the ends of the vertical bars or elements and the plates.
• Modular fences and fences of the same applicant are the Model 1034506U and the IP of application number 9701116 and its certificates of addition, of application numbers 9702195 and 9800617.
• the modular construction of both the windows and the fences is claimed, as well as a series of means and devices for linking the bars to the plates, as well as these to the frame wall in the case of the Windows .
• the object of the present invention consists of a set of solutions for the union between the different profiles, plates and bars that constitute the enclosure for its application in DIY.
• window bars and fences have loose components such as horizontal plates, vertical bar or tube profiles, vertical open and polygonal closed profiles, and joining means with standardized and standardized measures so that, by combination From these elements, a versatile and safe final product is obtained.
• This invention characterizes the connection means between the vertical bar or tube profiles with the upper plates.
• the steels used in the screws are not of high resistance to allow the breakage of the hexagonal head at the time of installation.
• a weak point, regarding the safety offered by the enclosure once mounted, is located in the sebum ball head of the breakable screw.
• joints between the upper and lower plates with the ends of the bars or vertical tubes are made by means of breakable screws in which the head in tallow ball and the ends of the vertical elements are hidden in separate holes made in the horizontal plate.
• the threaded end of the breakable screw enters threaded into a Drill practiced in the bar, relegating the centering functions to a recess and extreme perimeter in the bar.
• the breakable head screw threads through its larger diameter in the plate leaving the stud as an input pivot and clamping of the vertical tube.
• This additional piece shows a cavity on the side opposite the screw in which the profiles or bars of circular or polygonal section are housed inside.
• the vertical elements When the enclosure is of great length, the vertical elements must be reinforced to ensure that they do not overfill under a certain degree of transverse load.
• the bars show two ends, one with a threaded stud and the other with an equally threaded drill.
• the length of the stud is sufficient to allow a plate to be inserted between bars as a horizontal reinforcing element.
• a first variant makes use of a drill that allows the threaded stud to pass, leaving the plate interspersed and pressed between the two bars of greater diameter.
• the second variant consists in choosing the hole diameter of the intermediate dimensions plate between the diameter of the stud and the diameter of the rod.
• the bar has a perimeter recess at both ends with a width less than half the thickness of the plate so that the plate is also imprisoned between two bars.
• the stud is not in contact with the plate, nor are the bars with each other except by means of the threaded stud.
• the second solution makes use of vertical elements of length that of the enclosure, being necessary the use of horizontal reinforcement elements.
• the invention contemplates the joining means between vertical and horizontal elements.
• the profile chosen in the horizontal reinforcement element of the preferred embodiments is a "U" profile.
• the profile has two coaxial holes in the wings through which a breakable screw passes composed of a stud with peripherally recessed end and threaded.
• Both the head of the screw and the nut are housed in two outer recesses of the wings of the horizontal profile to avoid being destroyed as in the cases already mentioned.
• the vertical element has a hole if it is an open profile and two if it is closed at the height that it is desired to place the horizontal reinforcement through which or which the previous screw passes.
• the screw is fixed by ball head nut of sebum at the other end of the horizontal profile.
• the screw enters the opening side of the "L”, pressing the vertical element through the stepping between the stud and the threaded end against the wing opposite of the horizontal profile.
• Another preferred embodiment considers a section of the square vertical element with a diagonal parallel to the longitudinal axis of the horizontal reinforcement profile.
• the tube requires two holes for the screw to be through.
• the hole closest to the screw will have a diameter that allows the stud to pass while the opposite hole will have a smaller diameter that allows the threaded stud to pass and not the previous one.
