Abstract

The assembly component for fencing rails (1) and posts (2) consists of two metal trough-section elements (3, 4), especially with a curved cross-section, welded together at right angles so that one engages with rails and the other with the post. Each of the elements has an elongated slot (8) for a fixing bolt. The assembly component can be made in different shapes, e.g. a T-shape and an L-shape, and can be made to join rails set on top of or alongside posts.

Description

La présente invention est relative à une pièce d'assemblage pour la réalisation de clôtures et, plus particulièrement, de clôtures du genre de celles entourant, par exemple, les carrières équestres.The present invention relates to an assembly part for the realization of fences and, more particularly, fences of the kind of those surrounding, for example, the equestrian careers.

De telles clôtures sont réalisées par des poteaux, régulièrement espacés, réunis, à leur partie supérieure, au moins, par des lisses. Les poteaux et les lisses sont en bois et présentent, en général, une section circulaire de façon à ne pas comporter d'arêtes vives susceptibles de provoquer des blessures soit au cavalier, soit à la monture.Such fences are made by posts, regularly spaced together, at their upper part, at least, by smooth. The poles and rails are made of wood and generally have a circular section so as not to have sharp edges that could cause injury to either the rider or the mount.

En général, les lisses présentent toutes la même longueur, car elles sont réalisées en usine, et deux lisses consécutives sont fixées à la partie supérieure du même poteau. Outre qu'il est toujours difficile de fixer une pièce circulaire sur une pièce plane (l'extrémité du poteau), la difficulté augmente lorsqu'il s'agit d'en fixer deux. Ce à quoi s'ajoute le fait que, pour des raisons bien évidentes, il est pratiquement impossible d'espacer les poteaux d'une façon régulière, une différence de plusieurs centimètres étant courante. Les poteaux sont implantés avec des intervalles de deux à trois mètres et une différence de quelques centimètres n'est pas visible. Par contre, si on sait que le diamètre moyen des poteaux est de l'ordre de dix à quinze centimètres, cette différence est très importante au niveau de la fixation des lisses, l'une pouvant recouvrir la partie supérieure du poteau destinée à recevoir l'extrémité de la lisse adjacente.In general, the rails are all the same length because they are made in the factory, and two consecutive rails are attached to the upper part of the same pole. Besides it is always difficult to fix a circular piece on a flat part (the end of the post), the difficulty increases when it comes to fix two. Added to this is the fact that, for obvious reasons, it is practically impossible to space the posts evenly, a difference of several centimeters being common. The posts are implanted with intervals of two to three meters and a difference of a few centimeters is not visible. On the other hand, if we know that the average diameter of the columns is of the order of ten to fifteen centimeters, this difference is very important at the level of the fixation of the healds, one being able to cover the upper part of the pole intended to receive the end of the adjacent beam.

Le document japonais publié sous le n°11152718 , bien que présentant un organe de fixation en deux parties épousant chacune le profil des lisses, présente, entre autres, les inconvénients cités ci-dessus.The document Japanese published under the number 11152718 although having a fastener in two parts each conforming to the profile of the smooth, has, among others, the disadvantages mentioned above.

La présente invention, qui remédie à ces inconvénients, est relative à une pièce d'assemblage, pour la réalisation de clôtures comportant des lisses et des poteaux, et elle est caractérisée en ce qu'elle est formée par l'association de façon rigide de deux pièces en forme de gouttière dont les génératrices de l'une sont orthogonales à celles de l'autre, chaque pièce en forme de gouttière épousant pour l'une le profil des lisses et pour l'autre le profil des poteaux.The present invention, which overcomes these drawbacks, relates to an assembly part, for the realization of fences comprising rails and poles, and it is characterized in that it is formed by the association rigidly of two gutter-shaped parts whose generators of one are orthogonal to those of the other, each gutter-shaped piece marrying for one the profile of the smooth and for the other the profile of the poles.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise par la description qui va suivre faite en se référant aux dessins annexés à titre d'exemple indicatif, seulement, sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en élévation montrant le type de clôture à édifier ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en élévation d'un mode de réalisation de la pièce d'assemblage de l'invention ;
  • la figure 3 est la vue de dessus, partielle, de la figure 2 ;
  • la figure 4 est la vue de gauche de la figure 2 ;
  • la figure 5 est une vue en coupe effectuée selon la ligne VV de la figure 4 ;
  • la figure 6 est une vue, analogue à celle 4, montrant une variante de réalisation ;
  • la figure 7 est une vue, analogue à celle 4, montrant un autre mode de réalisation ;
  • la figure 8 est la vue de dessus de la figure 7.
  • les figures 9 et 10 sont des vues, analogues à celle 6, montrant des variantes de réalisations.
The present invention will be better understood from the following description given with reference to the accompanying drawings by way of indicative example only, in which:
  • the figure 1 is an elevation showing the type of fence to be built;
  • the figure 2 is an elevational view of an embodiment of the assembly part of the invention;
  • the figure 3 is the top view, partial, of the figure 2 ;
  • the figure 4 is the left view of the figure 2 ;
  • the figure 5 is a sectional view taken along line VV of the figure 4 ;
  • the figure 6 is a view, similar to that 4, showing an alternative embodiment;
  • the figure 7 is a view, similar to that 4, showing another embodiment;
  • the figure 8 is the top view of the figure 7 .
  • the Figures 9 and 10 are views, similar to that 6, showing alternative embodiments.

En se reportant à la figure 1, on voit que le problème à résoudre consiste à édifier une clôture constituée par la fixation de lisses 1 a, 1 b, à la partie supérieure de poteaux 2a,2b,2c.Referring to the figure 1 , we see that the problem to be solved is to build a fence constituted by the attachment of smooth 1a, 1b, the upper part of posts 2a, 2b, 2c.

Les difficultés rencontrées sont inhérentes à la section des matériaux utilisés, les poteaux et les lisses sont circulaires, et au fait qu'il est impossible d'implanter les poteaux en maintenant entre eux une distance égale, l'expérience ayant montré qu'une variation de plusieurs centimètres était courante.The difficulties encountered are inherent to the section of the materials used, the poles and the rails are circular, and the fact that it is impossible to implant the posts by maintaining between them an equal distance, the experiment having shown that a variation several centimeters was common.

La pièce d'assemblage de l'invention est constituée par l'association, de façon rigide, de deux pièces 3 et 4, se présentant chacune sous la forme d'une gouttière susceptible d'épouser le profil de l'organe, 1 ou 2, contre lequel elle est fixée. Il ressort des dessins que chacune des pièces 3 et 4 est constituée par une surface cylindrique droite à directrice circulaire.The assembly part of the invention consists of the combination, in a rigid manner, of two parts 3 and 4, each in the form of a gutter capable of matching the profile of the member, 1 or 2, against which she is fixed. It is apparent from the drawings that each of the parts 3 and 4 is constituted by a straight cylindrical surface with a circular director.

Les pièces 3 et 4 sont assemblées de façon à ce que les génératrices de l'une soient orthogonales aux génératrices de l'autre. Ces pièces étant métalliques dans l'exemple représenté, l'assemblage s'effectue par un cordon de soudure.The parts 3 and 4 are assembled so that the generatrices of one are orthogonal to the generatrices of the other. These parts being metallic in the example shown, the assembly is carried out by a weld bead.

La fixation de la pièce d'assemblage s'effectue par l'entremise de boulons, non représentés, dont les axes sont schématisés en 5 et 6.Fixing the assembly part is effected by means of bolts, not shown, whose axes are schematized in 5 and 6.

Les boulons de fixation traversent les pièces 3 et 4 par l'entremise d'ouvertures 7 et 8, oblongues.The fixing bolts pass through the parts 3 and 4 through openings 7 and 8, oblong.

L'axe 8a des ouvertures 8 s'étend parallèlement aux génératrices de la pièce 3, donc parallèlement à l'axe de la lisse correspondante tandis que celui 7a de l'ouverture 7 s'étend orthogonalement aux génératrices de la pièce 4, donc orthogonalement à l'axe du poteau correspondant .The axis 8a of the openings 8 extends parallel to the generatrices of the part 3, therefore parallel to the axis of the corresponding channel while that 7a of the opening 7 extends orthogonally to the generatrices of the part 4, so orthogonally to the axis of the corresponding pole.

La figure 6 montre une variante de réalisation de la pièce d'assemblage des figures 2 à 5. Selon cette variante, la pièce 3a, destinée à être fixée aux lisses, est disposée latéralement. De cette façon, il est possible de réaliser une clôture dont une face est dépourvue d'élément métallique, la tête des boulons d'assemblage pouvant être noyée dans les poteaux ou les lisses.The figure 6 shows an alternative embodiment of the assembly part of the Figures 2 to 5 . According to this variant, the part 3a, intended to be fixed to the rails, is arranged laterally. In this way, it is possible to make a fence with one side is devoid of metal element, the head of the assembly bolts can be embedded in the poles or rails.

Les figures 7 et 8 montrent un autre mode de réalisation de la pièce d'assemblage plus particulièrement destiné à la fixation de lisses intermédiaires ou à la réalisation des angles de la clôture et, d'une façon générale, à la fixation sur un même poteau de deux lisses qui ne sont pas alignées.The Figures 7 and 8 show another embodiment of the assembly part more particularly intended for the fixing of intermediate rails or the realization of the angles of the fence and, in general, for the attachment on the same pole of two rails which do not are not aligned.

Cette pièce d'assemblage se compose de deux pièces 9 et 10, analogues à celles 3 et 4, assemblées en équerre, comme montré sur les dessins, et de façon à ce que les parties creuses soient disposées vers l'extérieur.This assembly part consists of two parts 9 and 10, similar to those 3 and 4, assembled at right angles, as shown in the drawings, and so that the hollow portions are arranged outwardly.

Jusqu'à présent, on a décrit une pièce d'assemblage destinée à des clôtures dont les axes des poteaux et des lisses étaient dans un même plan.So far, there has been described an assembly part for fences whose axes of poles and rails were in the same plane.

Pour la réalisation de carrières d'équitation, il est souhaitable, pour des raisons de sécurité, que les lisses soient déportées vers l'intérieur de la carrière.For the realization of riding careers, it is desirable, for safety reasons, that the rails are deported to the interior of the quarry.

La figure 9 illustre une pièce d'assemblage permettant d'atteindre ce résultat à l'aide de pièces 3b et 4b, quasiment, identiques à celles 3a et 4.The figure 9 illustrates an assembly piece to achieve this result using parts 3b and 4b, almost identical to those 3a and 4.

La figure 10 illustre un autre mode de réalisation permettant d'obtenir un déport plus important et destiné à la fixation de lisses intermédiaires.The figure 10 illustrates another embodiment for obtaining a larger offset and for fixing intermediate heddles.

Ce mode de réalisation est obtenu à partir de deux pièces 11 a et 11 b, la pièce 11 a présentant des ouvertures analogues à celle 8 de la pièce 4 et la pièce 11 b présentant des ouvertures analogues à celles 7 de la pièce 3. Il est à noter que la pièce d'assemblage de la figure 10 peut être obtenue à partir d'ébauches identiques.This embodiment is obtained from two pieces 11a and 11b, the piece 11a having openings similar to that 8 of the piece 4 and the piece 11b having openings similar to those 7 of the piece 3. It should be noted that the assembly part of the figure 10 can be obtained from identical blanks.

Dans l'exemple représenté, la pièce 11 b est fixée sensiblement au milieu de la hauteur de la pièce 11 a, mais il est possible de réaliser une pièce d'assemblage dont la pièce 11 b serait fixée à la partie supérieure de la pièce 11 a.In the example shown, the part 11b is fixed substantially in the middle of the height of the part 11a, but it is possible to make an assembly part of which the part 11b would be fixed to the upper part of the part 11 at.
