Definitions

  • the present invention relatates to a fence post with a substantially I-shaped cross-section consisting of one central portion and two flanges securing therein the edge wire members of two welded wire mesh panels adjacent to the fence post.
  • Such a fence post is known from FR-A-2698417.
  • European patent applications 0478454 and 0596825 describe very typical fence posts to accommodate welded wire mesh panels, each fence post in reality consisting of a double post, i.e., one fence post with a round or a rectangular cross section, and one connecting I-shaped post.
  • the I-shaped post always accommodates the two welded wire mesh panels adjacent to the post.
  • a further disadvantage of the fence post according to the European patent application 0478454 is the defective connection of the welded wire mesh panels to the post, in that the fastening elements used can be disengaged with ease, as described, inter alia, in the introduction of the European patent application 0596825.
  • a further disadvantage of the fence post according to the European patent application 0596825 is the relatively time-consuming procedure for the securing of the panels to the central portion of the I-shaped fence post.
  • the present invention aims to provide a universally useful fence post of the type mentioned in the introduction which would avoid the above-mentioned problems.
  • both flanges of the I-shaped fence post are hollow and have internal apertures accommodating the securing devices.
  • Fig. 1 shows a universal I-shaped fence post 1 according to the present invention.
  • the fence post 1 has a practically I-shaped cross-section, consisting of a central portion 2 and two flanges 3 and 4.
  • the fence post is preferably made of sheet steel of a thickness of 1 mm to 2 mm. It is, for example, possible to form a fence post 1 of sheet steel by bending the plate to the desired I profile and then welding it shut. It is also possible to form the fence post 1 from hollow extruded tubes.
  • the fence post 1 is preferably of hollow construction.
  • the flanges 3 and 4 of the I-shaped fence post 1 have internal apertures or notches 5 and 6 at regular intervals from each other.
  • apertures or notches 5 and 6 do not necessarily have to be spaced at regular intervals.
  • the apertures or notches 5 and 6 can be made in the sheet steel by cutting out the sheet steel at the points of the desired apertures for most of the perimeter of the aperture and then pressing it out into the hollow interior of fence post 1. This is, for example, clearly shown in fence post 1 in Fig. 8. The purpose of these apertures or notches 5 and 6 will be explained in more detail later.
  • Fig. 1 shows how a three-dimensional panel of welded wire mesh 7 is secured between the flanges 3 and 4.
  • the panel 7 consists of upright or vertical wires 8 and transverse or horizontal wires 9. welded together.
  • the panel 7 is provided with some breasts 10 in the transverse direction to give the panel 7 an increased rigidity.
  • the depth of the breasts 10 roughly corresponds with the distance between the flanges 3 and 4.
  • the depth of the breast 10 is preferably smaller than the distance between the flanges 3 and 4.
  • the panel 7 is fixed to the fence post 1 by means of special securing devices 11.
  • Each securing device 11 features a groove-like longitudinal channel 12 and at least two pens or studs 13 and 14.
  • the dimensions of the studs 13 and 14 correspond with the dimensions of the apertures 5 and 6 in the flanges 3 and 4 in such a way that the studs 13 and 14 can engage solidly in the apertures 5 and 6.
  • Fig. 1 shows how such a securing device 11 can fix a panel 7 between the flanges 3 and 4 of the post to the I - shaped fence post 1.
  • the longitudinal channel 12 of the securing device 11 is pushed over the vertical wire 8 and the studs 13 and 14 are driven into the notches 5 and 6 of the flanges 3 and 4 by means of, e.g.. a hammer. It is, for example, possible to attach three securing devices over the full height of the fence post 1. thus making it impossible for the panel 7 to be moved off in the vertical direction.
  • Fig. 2 shows how a flat welded wire mesh panel 7 with the same securing device 11 is fastened to the same I - shaped fence post 1. It is apparent that the same I - shaped fence post 1 with the same securing devices 11 can be used to trap a totally different welded wire mesh panel 7 against the fence post 1. This brings out directly the universal application of the new fence post 1 and its accessory securing devices 11 to fasten welded wire mesh panels to fence post 1 according to the present invention.
  • Fig. 4 shows a slightly modified embodiment of the fence post 1 shown in Fig. 1 and 2, in which the hollow I-shaped fence post 1 can be fitted with a cap 17, with hooks 18, made to the cross-sectional dimension of the fence post 1.
  • the cap 17 can be pressed over the top of the fence post 1 and fastened, the hollow interior of the fence post 1 thus being completely sealed by the cap 17.
  • the two panels 7 adjacent to the fence post 1 are being secured, the two panels 7 are first hung by the topmost horizontal wire 9 on the hooks 18 of the cap 17 fitted to the fence post 1. as a result of which the cap 17 is gripped more tightly in place atop the hollow post 1.
  • the actual securing devices 11 are then fitted into their corresponding apertures 5 and 6 in the flanges 3 and 4. Once the securing devices 11 have been fitted, the cap 17 cannot be removed from the hollow post 1. It is clear that the mounting and securing of the panels 7 on the post 1 can be easily managed by one person thanks to the panels 7 being hung from the hooks 18.
  • Fig. 5 shows a perspective view of the detail of a securing device 11 with groove-like channel 12 and two protrusions or studs 13 and 14. where the edge wire 8 of a panel 7 is engaged in the groove-like channel 12.
  • the construction of the securing device 11 is preferably of a hard plastic and, as Fig. 5 shows, it is possible to have the studs 13 and 14 can be pressed into the securing device 11 to facilitate the insertion of the studs 13 and 14 in their corresponding apertures 5 and 6.
  • the gripping action of the studs 13 and 14 can be obtained in various ways : e.g., by the correct choice of material of the securing device 11, the thickness of the securing device.... as generally known in plastics technology.
  • Figs. 6a and 6b show, in plan view or in cross section, a section of a fence post 1 with a matching securing device 11 with an engaged edge wire member 8 before and after the fitting of the securing device 11 in the flanges 3 and 4 of the I-shaped fence post 1.
  • Fig. 7 shows a perspective view of the detail of a modified embodiment of a securing device 11 according to the present invention.
  • the securing device 11 still has a longitudinal groove 12 to accommodate an edge wire member 8. but the securing device 11 here also has a transverse aperture 19 to accommodate a horizontal wire member 9.
  • a flat panel of welded wire mesh as shown in Fig. 2, or with a three-dimensional panel of welded wire mesh, of which the height of the breasts 10 is less than the distance between the flanges 3 and 4 of the fence post 1 : it is possible to rotate the panel 7 in relation to the fence post 1 through a certain angle around the edge wire member 8. This can be useful if the fencing does not follow a rectilinear course.
  • Fig. 8 shows a perspective view, as in Fig. 4. of another slightly modified embodiment of a fence post 1 according to the present invention, with cap 17 and one securing device 11.
  • the securing device 11 features a groove-like longitudinal channel 12 for the accommodation of an edge wire member 8 and, also, a transverse aperture 19 for the possible inclusion of a transverse wire member 9.
  • the securing device 11 is also fitted with four small protrusions or studs 13 and 14. The dimensions of these studs 13 and 14 correspond to the dimensions of the apertures 5 and 6 in the flanges 3 and 4 : during assembly, the two studs 13 snap into the two notches 5 and the two studs 14 snap into the two notches 6.
  • the cap 17 shows a cross-sectional form adapted to the profile of the fence post 1. the hollow interior of the fence post 1 being thus completely sealed when the cap 17 is pressed on top of the fence post 1.
  • the cap 17 is provided with two hooks 18 to engage the top horizontal wires 9 of the two panels 7 adjacent to the fence post 1.
