Abstract

A rail support consists of a sleeve (3) which fits over the post and has two rectangular trough-shaped holders (4) fixed to it to receive the rails. The depth of each holder is greater than the height of the rail, and the open top of the holder is closed, e.g. by a plastic cover, once the rail has been fitted. The holder and cover can have holes through them for retaining bolts.

Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif pour fixer des lisses sur des poteaux.The present invention relates to a device for fixing stringers on posts.

Dans le domaine agricole, notamment, on réalise des clôtures métalliques comportant des poteaux scellés dans le sol sur lesquels on fixe des lisses horizontales.In the agricultural sector, in particular, we make fences metal posts with posts sealed in the ground on which are fixed horizontal beams.

Jusqu'à présent, la jonction des lisses sur les poteaux était réalisée à l'aide de colliers et de brides assemblés par boulonnage et, quatre écrous par lisse étaient nécessaires. Par ce procédé, analogue à celui utilisé pour le montage des échafaudages métalliques, se posait aussi le problème du réglage de l'écartement des lisses, chaque clôture en comportant au moins deux.Until now, the junction of the beams on the posts was made using collars and flanges assembled by bolting and, four nuts per rail were required. By this process, similar to that used for erecting scaffolding metal, there was also the problem of adjusting the spacing stringers, each fence having at least two.

Pour remédier à ces inconvénients, on a alors utilisé une pièce d'assemblage comportant un manchon tubulaire pouvant être engagé et fixé sur le poteau et présentant, perpendiculairement à son axe, deux fourreaux dans chacun desquels on engageait la lisse correspondante.To overcome these drawbacks, we then used a assembly part comprising a tubular sleeve which can be engaged and fixed on the post and presenting, perpendicular to its axis, two sleeves in each of which the heald was engaged corresponding.

Comme les lisses se présentent, généralement, sous la forme de tubes de plusieurs mètres de longueur, un tel procédé ne pouvait être utilisé qu'à la condition de disposer suffisamment de place à l'une des extrémités de la clôture à monter et ne pouvait pas être utilisé pour réaliser une séparation dans un bâtiment.As the heddles generally come in the form tubes several meters in length, such a process could not be used only if there is sufficient space to one end of the fence to be mounted and could not be used to make a separation in a building.

De plus, deux personnes étaient nécessaires pour engager la lisse, l'une pour la soulever et l'introduire dans le premier fourreau et, l'autre, pour guider l'extrémité de ladite lisse lors de son introduction dans le fourreau du poteau suivant.In addition, two people were required to initiate the smooth, one to lift it and introduce it into the first sleeve and, the other, to guide the end of said stringer during its introduction into the sheath of the next post.

Par ailleurs, pour que la lisse puisse être engagée sans peine dans tous les fourreaux il était nécessaire que ceux-ci soient parfaitement alignés condition qui, dans la pratique, est techniquement irréalisable compte tenu du mode d'implantation des poteaux. Furthermore, so that the boom can be easily engaged in all the sleeves it was necessary that these be perfectly aligned condition which in practice is technically impractical given the method of setting up posts.

La présente invention, qui remédie à ces inconvénients, est remarquable en ce que le manchon usuel comporte des organes de support des lisses constitué, chacun, par un berceau dans lequel la lisse peut reposer et être immobilisée.The present invention, which overcomes these drawbacks, is remarkable in that the usual sleeve comprises organs of beam support, each consisting of a cradle in which the smooth can rest and be immobilized.

De cette façon, la mise en place de chaque lisse s'effectue par un déplacement latéral de cette dernière et non par un déplacement axial.In this way, the placement of each boom is carried out by a lateral displacement of the latter and not by a axial displacement.

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 montre la clôture à réaliser;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective d'un manchon conforme à l'invention;
  • la figure 3 est une vue, partielle et en coupe verticale du manchon de la figure 2;
  • la figure 4 est la vue de dessus de la figure 3;
  • la figure 5 est la vue de droite de la figure 3;
  • la figure 6 est une vue en coupe effectuée selon la ligne VI-VI de la figure 5;
  • la figure 7 est une vue, analogue à la figure 6, montrant une variante de réalisation.
The present invention will be better understood from the following description made with reference to the accompanying drawings by way of indicative example only, in which:
  • Figure 1 shows the fence to be produced;
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of a sleeve according to the invention;
  • Figure 3 is a view, partial and in vertical section of the sleeve of Figure 2;
  • Figure 4 is the top view of Figure 3;
  • Figure 5 is the right view of Figure 3;
  • Figure 6 is a sectional view taken along the line VI-VI of Figure 5;
  • Figure 7 is a view, similar to Figure 6, showing an alternative embodiment.

En se reportant aux dessins on voit que le problème consiste à réaliser une clôture comportant des poteaux 1, scellés dans le sol, sur lesquels on fixe des lisses 2, horizontales.Referring to the drawings we see that the problem is to make a fence with posts 1, sealed in the ground, on which horizontal beams 2 are fixed.

De la façon connue, on utilise des manchons tubulaires 3 pouvant être engagés sur les poteaux et y être immobilisés à la hauteur requise par rapport au sol, chaque manchon comportant des organes de support des lisses en nombre égal à celui desdites lisses.In known manner, tubular sleeves 3 are used can be engaged on the posts and be immobilized there at the required height above ground, each sleeve having beam support members in a number equal to that of said smooth.

Selon l'invention, chaque organe de support est constitué par un berceau 4 rendu solidaire du manchon. According to the invention, each support member is constituted by a cradle 4 made integral with the sleeve.

Pour mettre en place une lisse, on la soulève, on la place au-dessus des berceaux et on la laisse reposer.To set up a stringer, we lift it, we place it above cradles and let it sit.

Si l'alignement des berceaux n'est pas rigoureux, il suffit d'exercer une poussée latérale sur la lisse au droit du berceau présentant un défaut d'alignement suivie d'une pression vers le bas pour l'engager dans le berceau. Compte tenu de la distance séparant les poteaux, de l'ordre de deux mètres, et de la section du tube constituant la lisse, les efforts à mettre en jeu sont négligeables.If the alignment of the cradles is not rigorous, it suffices to exert a lateral thrust on the rail to the right of the cradle with misalignment followed by downward pressure to engage it in the cradle. Given the distance separating the posts, of the order of two meters, and the section of the tube constituting the stringer, the efforts to be brought into play are negligible.

Des moyens sont prévus pour bloquer chaque lisse dans son berceau.Means are provided for blocking each stringer in its cradle.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la profondeur de chaque berceau est supérieure à la hauteur de la lisse. De cette façon, en exerçant une force, à la partie supérieure du berceau, qui tend à rapprocher ses deux bords, on réalise l'immobilisation de la lisse. Un tel résultat peut être obtenu par deux boulons, schématisés par les axes 5, traversant les ailes 4a des berceaux. Les boulons précités s'étendent au-dessus de la lisse et ne la traverse pas.According to one embodiment, the depth of each cradle is greater than the height of the beam. In this way, by exercising a force, at the top of the cradle, which tends to bring together its two edges, we immobilize the rail. Such result can be obtained by two bolts, shown schematically by the axes 5, crossing the wings 4a of the cradles. The aforementioned bolts extend above the beam and do not cross it.

Pour éviter que des détritus, générateurs de corrosion, s'accumulent au-dessus des lisses au droit des berceaux l'espace compris entre la partie supérieure de la lisse et les bords supérieurs du berceau est obturé par un couvercle 6.To avoid detritus, generators of corrosion, accumulate above the rails at the right of the cradles the space between the upper part of the beam and the edges upper part of the cradle is closed by a cover 6.

De préférence, ce couvercle est réalisé en une matière plastique et il peut affecter la forme d'un prisme, comme montré sur la figure 6, ou présenter une section transversale en forme d'U renversé, comme montré sur la figure 7. Des trous tels que ceux 7 et 8 sont prévus sur le couvercle pour permettre le passage des boulons de serrage.Preferably, this cover is made of a material plastic and it can affect the shape of a prism, as shown in Figure 6, or present a U-shaped cross section overturned, as shown in Figure 7. Holes such as those 7 and 8 are provided on the cover to allow the passage of tightening bolts.

Chaque berceau, présente, dans son plan médian, et sur sa face opposée au manchon, une ouverture 9 à travers laquelle apparaissent les extrémités de deux lisses 2a et 2b aboutées (fig.5). Cette ouverture permet donc de s'assurer, en cas d'aboutement, que les extrémités en prise avec le berceau ont une longueur égale.Each cradle, present, in its median plane, and on its face opposite to the sleeve, an opening 9 through which appear the ends of two heddles 2a and 2b abutted (fig. 5). This opening therefore ensures, in the event of abutment, that the ends engaged with the cradle have a equal length.
