Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clamp for fastening grid-like fence fields made of horizontally and perpendicularly extending bars, in particular structural steel mats, to a fastening flange of a fence post that runs parallel to the fence field and faces the fence field, with a central section that is held by means of clamping on the fastening flange of the fence post and that has an approximately C-shaped cross-section, encompassing the fastening flange of the fence post, and with arms integrally adjoining on both sides of the central section.
  • Such clamps are known for example from DE 25 23 949 C2. They are widely used and have basically proven themselves to attach structural steel mats to fence posts that are equipped with a mounting flange. Such a fence post with mounting flange is described for example in DE 28 27 950 C2. The basic principle of such fence fields with mat-shaped structural steel reinforcement is also dealt with in DE-GM 18 63 758.
  • GB-A-1312257 shows a fastening device for horizontal bars of a fence.
  • An elongated piece of wire is bent in several dimensions and kinking, so that there is a V-shaped section around the post, which in the attached state grips under the horizontal bar of the fence field and has vertically upward end sections on the side facing away from the post. These end sections are then bent around the horizontal bar of the fence field.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a clamp so that the correct attachment of structural steel mats is facilitated.
  • the arms have a support surface for the horizontally extending bars of the lattice-like fence field, that they protrude above these bars and that they end in ends that can be bent by means of a pair of pliers for gripping the horizontally extending bars on the side facing away from the fence post are formed and that the bearing surfaces of the two arms are connected by a third bearing surface formed by the upper side of the central section, the three bearing surfaces lying at one height.
  • the fence post with the pre-assembled clamp can be set up in the field, the height of the clamp adjusted if necessary and then fastened in the desired position, then the structural steel mat can be hung in and then the end of the arms can be pressed down using water pump pliers normally available on the market.
  • the pre-assembly of the clamps has the advantage that no loose parts have to be carried along. Nevertheless, by moving the guide of the clamp along the mounting flange of the fence post, the height can still be adapted to the uneven terrain by pulling it up over the fence post. Setting up the fence posts themselves is also made easier for unskilled personnel.
  • the clamps can be used as a reference to each other. After the pre-assembly, these are all at the same height, which makes it easier to set up and take account of uneven floors when placing the fence posts.
  • the clamp has an approximately T-shaped outline shape in the front view.
  • the arms form the cross section of the T-shape, while a clamping screw is preferably received in the longitudinal leg. This clamping screw is arranged so that it can be screwed frontally against the fastening flange of the fence post.
  • the clamp is preferably designed as a metallic stamped part.
  • the shape of the clamp makes this particularly inexpensive and material-saving since the bendable arms can be punched out parallel to the central section.
  • the entire shape to be punched out is then primarily rectangular, with the necessary recesses for the guide, etc.
  • the stability can be further increased if the bearing surfaces of the two arms are connected by a third bearing surface formed by the upper side of the central section, the three bearing surfaces lying at one height.
  • the larger common bearing surface that is formed in this way also serves to hold the clamp together internally. This makes it possible to transfer larger weights to the fence posts without damaging the system.
  • the third contact surface for the horizontally extending bars of the grid-like fence field at the same height in the C-shaped Pass over the fastening flange of the fence post around the guide.
  • the further transmission of the forces onto the fastening flange of the fence post is also given, as a result of which the lever forces that occur are kept as low as possible.
  • two C-shaped guides are provided which surround the fastening flange of the fence post, one of which, as described above, is formed in the transition from the third bearing surface for the horizontally extending bars, while the other is formed by one on the underside of the central section formed horizontally extending surface is formed.
  • the clamp according to the invention is particularly suitable for steel mesh fences or structural steel mats with flat horizontal bars, without being restricted to these. These flat bars are particularly easy to grasp when bending the ends.
  • the contact surfaces are preferably horizontal, which should also be the rule.
  • a shape which would favor placement adjacent to the fastening flange would be conceivable.
  • a fence post 1 is in the form of a triangular hollow or filled with a filler bar, at one corner of which a T-shaped fastening flange 2 is formed.
  • a filler bar at one corner of which a T-shaped fastening flange 2 is formed.
  • the grid-like fence field consisting of horizontal and perpendicular bars, which is held on the fence post 1 or the fastening flange 2 only one horizontal bar 3 and two perpendicular bars 4 and 5 are shown.
  • the bars 3, 4 and 5 are each firmly connected to one another at their crossing points, for example welded, and can be parts of a structural steel mat, possibly with a plastic coating.
  • the horizontal rod 3 is held on the mounting flange 2 by means of a clamp 6.
  • the clamp 6 is designed as a flat component. In the front view according to FIG. 1, it has an approximately T-shaped outline shape.
  • the longitudinal leg of the T is formed by the central section 7 in the illustration according to FIG.
  • the central section 7 merges into a horizontally extending surface 10 at its lower end. This is approximately perpendicular to the central part of the central section 7. This lower surface 10 holds and guides the clamp 6 on the mounting flange 2 of the fence post 1 through an approximately C-shaped recess 15, which is adapted in shape to the mounting flange 2 of the fence post 1.
  • a clamping screw 17 is provided, which is supported on the mounting flange 2 of the fence post 1, so that a displacement of the clamp in the vertical direction on the mounting flange 2 of the fence post 1 is prevented with certainty.
  • the clamping screw 17 has a horizontal axis in the assembled form, which is perpendicular to the central section 7 or its central part.
  • the middle section 7 merges on its upper side by a 90 ° bend into a support surface 20. This can be seen particularly clearly in FIG. 4; In this way, a small piece of the narrow side 21, 22 of the central section 7 is visible in FIG. 1 in the region of the bending points.
  • the surface 20 also has the C-shaped recess 15 in the same shape as the underside 10. This results in a second guide for the clamp 6 on the fastening flange 2 of the fence post 1.
  • the arms 8 and 9 integrally adjoining the central section 7 and in particular its surface 20 project beyond the central section on the side facing away from the fence post 1 and then run out into ends 18, 19 which are bent upwards.
  • the ends 18.19 are of equal length. They protrude above the bar 3 of the structural steel mat.
  • This rod 3 is in Figure 1 in the front view behind the ends 18 and 19 and is covered by these; it is omitted in FIG. 4 for clarification. In Fig. 2 it lies on the arms 8,9, which protrude past the rod 3 and here also the rods 4 and 5.
  • the upper sides of the arms 8, 9 each form a support surface 28, 29 at the same height. These bearing surfaces 28, 29 are horizontal, and the horizontal rod 3 of the structural steel mat is placed directly on them.
  • a third bearing surface 27 is formed by the surface 20 of the central section 7, which connects the other two bearing surfaces 28, 29 with one another, so that a single plane is formed at the same height, in which one of the two recesses 15 for the Leadership.
  • each of the two ends 18, 19 can be bent in succession with pliers (not shown) so that it engages around the rod 3.
  • the bent ends 18, 19 already prevent the rod from moving away from the clamp 6 again when it is put on.
  • the assembly of the fence field on the fence post can be carried out by a single person.
