DESCRIPTION

Railing

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to a railing, which can be part of a balcony or the like to form an enclosure, railing or the like. It is applicable in the construction field.

STATE OF THE ART

Various types of enclosures are known in the state of the art that grip a plate, panel or the like, for example glass, between two arms of a clamp, thus forming a handrail. For example, from EP3543421 a system for supporting an iron is known consisting of two arms and a movable element in between which presses against the plate. It is also known from US3334463, US1873350 or US3093217 plate support systems where the jaw is divisible into two parts, so that one of them slides through a "T" slot inside the other, forming a joint similar to a tail of milano.

None of these systems is prepared to increase the versatility of the panel, so that it can have other functions. WO2016193806 shows a similar form to the cited European application, in which LED lights or the like are incorporated, but it requires many profiles. However, no solution allows to increase the functionality of the plate, offering functions other than aesthetic or structural.

In addition, these systems need a variant depending on whether a lateral or frontal fixing is made to the structure (wall, post ...) that is, depending on whether the railing is in front or aligned with the window span, with the posts.

The applicant does not know of any other support with the advantages of the invention.

The invention consists of a railing according to the claims. It allows to complement and improve the results of the state of the art.

It comprises two supports, normally the same, between which a sheet or panel is arranged. At least one of the supports is formed by a fixed jaw made by means of an "L" profile in which a mobile jaw is longitudinally slidingly coupled. This coupling is carried out by a recess in the movable jaw that can be inserted or extracted only through the ends of the fixed jaw. The plate comprises one or more photovoltaic panels with an electrical conduction through one or more cuts in a fixed jaw. If only one of the supports is formed by the two jaws, it will be in that support where the corresponding cuts are.

Preferably, so that the system is self-contained, the cut also includes the electronic equipment of the photovoltaic panels.

Other ways of carrying out the invention are described below.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In this section, an embodiment of the invention is briefly described, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

The embodiment of figure 1 is an example of embodiment of the railing of the invention with two vertical supports (1), one at each end, which retain a plate or panel (9). In this case the two supports (1) are similar and have a fixed jaw (2), made by means of a general "L" shaped profile and with two slots (3,4) in its arms. In the first slot (3 ) a closing rubber (5) is arranged and in the second groove (4) a movable jaw (6) is arranged that can slide in the longitudinal direction of the fixed jaw (2). This movable jaw (6) is also a profile and has a recess (7) that can be coupled to the second slot (4) and a projection (8) that helps to resist the efforts of the panel (9) that is held by both jaws (2,6). ) also has a groove (not referenced) for coupling a sealing rubber (5) similar to the one already mentioned and facing it. The rubbers (5) will depend on the thickness of the panel (9), thus being able to adapt the support (1 ) to different thicknesses and types of panel (9) In general, the two rubbers (5) can be different, since it is enough to vary one of them to adjust to the thickness of the panel (9).

The ends of the supports (1) can each have caps (10) attached or screwed into holes (11) of one of the two aforementioned profiles. The support (1) is fixed to a wall by means of screws, adhesive ... on one of the two faces of the fixed jaw (2). In figure 2, the upper cover (10) is attached, for example, by means of double-layer adhesive tape, so that it does not have holes through which water can enter, and the lower one is screwed on.

In the invention, at least one of the two supports (1) has one or more cuts (12) located at a point of the profile, where an electrical conduit is arranged that connects with the panel (9). This example of panel (9) has one or more photovoltaic panels for recovering the solar energy that falls on the railing, being possible to use any photovoltaic glass. The electronic equipment of the photovoltaic panels can be located in the cut (12), in its own machining (15) or be external to facilitate access.

It is especially appreciated in figure 3 that the fixed jaw (2) can have a diagonal plane of symmetry, except for the cuts (12) or machined (15) and any fixing screw or the like, to allow it to be Attach to walls or frames of the dated or window, which form 90 degrees to each other. It will be enough to turn the fixed jaw (2) and the grooves (3,4) will be interchanged (figures 3A and 3B). Thus, if one of the arms of the fixed jaw (2) has holes for the passage of screws or another form of fixing (shown in the upper part of figure 3A), it is possible to rotate the fixed jaw (2) to face one or the other arm to the support surface.

In this way, the railing can be used to generate electrical energy, which has an advantageous effect in reducing the heat that reaches the balcony or place where the railing is attached. Part of the insolation is converted into electrical energy and not into a rise in temperature. In addition, the carbon footprint of the house is reduced by being able to be producing its own electrical energy, improving the sustainability of the building.
