Description

La présente invention concerne un organe de liaison entre un élément de grille et un poteau, par exemple un élément de grille métallique pour clôture comportant des barreaux parallèles reliés au voisinage de leurs deux extrémités par au moins deux traverses respectivement haute et basse.The present invention relates to a connection between a grid element and a pole, for example a metal grid element for fence having parallel bars connected to the vicinity at both ends by at least two sleepers respectively high and low.

Un organe de liaison connu destiné à fixer un élément de grille à un poteau est réalisé sous forme monobloc et présente un alésage destiné à être traversé par le poteau. Lors de la fixation de l'élément de grille au poteau, l'organe de liaison est enfilé par l'extrémité supérieure du poteau puis soudé au poteau.A known liaison body to fix a grid element to a pole is realized in form monobloc and has a bore to be crossed by the pole. When fixing the element of grid to the post, the connecting member is threaded by the upper end of the pole and then welded to the pole.

Ce procédé de fixation présente des inconvénients. Ce procédé est relativement long à mettre en oeuvre et nécessite une grande précision de soudure, délicate à respecter, en particulier lorsqu'une grille doit être disposée sur un terrain accidenté.This fixing process has disadvantages. This process is relatively slow to put in use and requires a high precision of welding, delicate to respect, especially when a grid must be laid out on uneven ground.

L'invention vise à résoudre un ou plusieurs de ces inconvénients. Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un organe de liaison utilisable pour former des clôtures en un temps réduit, et en particulier des clôtures de contours compliqués dans des terrains dont le relief peut être accidenté.The invention aims to solve one or more of these disadvantages. The purpose of the present invention is to propose a connecting member that can be used to form fences in a short time, and in particular fences of complicated outlines in lands of which the terrain can be uneven.

L'invention porte sur un organe de liaison d'un élément de grille à un poteau.The invention relates to a connecting member of a grid element at a pole.

Plus précisément, l'organe de liaison comprend deux corps accolés pour définir, en partant d'une première extrémité vers une deuxième extrémité de l'organe de liaison, un jeu entre des surfaces respectives des deux corps, une partie délimitant une ouverture circulaire de logement d'un poteau dans le prolongement du jeu et une partie d'adaptation saillante radialement destinée à être logée dans un élément transversal d'une grille, l'organe de liaison étant muni à sa première extrémité d'un boulon dont le serrage est susceptible de réduire le jeu.More specifically, the liaison body comprises two bodies joined together to define, starting from a first end to a second end of the connecting member, a play between surfaces of the two bodies, a part delimiting a circular opening housing a pole in the continuation of the game and a salient adaptation part radially intended to be housed in an element cross-section of a grid, the connecting member being provided with at its first end a bolt whose tightening is likely to reduce the game.

Selon une variante, la partie délimitant l'ouverture est décalée par rapport à la partie d'adaptation dans la direction correspondant à l'axe d'un poteau. Selon encore une variante, le décalage est d'une longueur suffisante pour que deux organes de liaison disposés tête-bêche l'un contre l'autre aient leurs parties d'adaptation au même niveau dans la direction correspondant à l'axe d'un poteau. Selon encore une autre variante, l'organe de liaison comprend au mois une cale accolée à la périphérie des parties des corps formant la partie d'adaptation. Selon une variante, la cale est monobloc, présente une fente s'étendant sur toute sa longueur, présente un évidement logeant la partie des corps formant la partie d'adaptation et présente un épaulement extérieur au niveau d'une de ses extrémités axiales.According to a variant, the part delimiting the opening is offset from the part in the direction corresponding to the axis of a pole. According to another variant, the offset is of sufficient length for two link upside down against each other have their adaptation parts at the same level in the direction corresponding to the axis of a pole. according to another variant, the liaison organ comprises in the month a wedge contiguous to the periphery of the parts of the body forming the adaptation part. According to one variant, the wedge is monobloc, has a slot extending over its entire length, has a recess housing the part of the bodies forming the part of adaptation and has an outer shoulder at level of one of its axial ends.

On peut également prévoir que le centre de gravité de l'organe de liaison soit décalé de l'axe de l'ouverture circulaire en direction de la partie d'adaptation.It can also be expected that the center of gravity of the connecting member is offset from the axis of the circular opening towards the part adaptation.

L'invention porte également sur un système comprenant un poteau, un élément de grille présentant un élément transversal, et un organe de liaison tel que décrit ci-dessus et fixé au poteau traversant l'ouverture circulaire et dont la partie d'adaptation est logée dans l'élément transversal de l'élément de grille.The invention also relates to a system comprising a pole, a grid element having a transverse element, and a liaison body such as described above and attached to the crossing post the circular opening and whose adaptation part is housed in the transversal element of the element of wire rack.

L'invention traite également d'un procédé d'assemblage d'un élément de grille à un poteau, comprenant les étapes consistant à :

  • placer deux organes de liaison tels que définis ci-dessus sur un premier poteau de sorte qu'ils soient maintenus par arc-boutement ;
  • placer les parties d'adaptation des organes de liaison dans les contours périphériques de deux éléments transversaux respectifs d'un élément de grille ;
  • serrer les boulons des organes de liaison de façon à fixer les organes de liaison au poteau.
The invention also relates to a method of assembling a grid element to a pole, comprising the steps of:
  • placing two connecting members as defined above on a first pole so that they are held by buttresses;
  • placing the matching portions of the connecting members in the peripheral contours of two respective transverse members of a grid member;
  • tighten the bolts of the connecting members so as to fix the connecting members to the post.

Selon une variante, le procédé comprend en outre les étapes consistant à :

  • encastrer le premier poteau dans le sol ;
  • placer deux autres organes de liaison tels que définis ci-dessus sur un second poteau de sorte qu'ils soient maintenus par arc-boutement ;
  • placer une extrémité du second poteau dans le sol, pivoter le second poteau et placer les parties d'adaptation des autres organes de liaison dans les contours périphériques des éléments transversaux respectifs de l'élément de grille ;
  • serrer les boulons des autres organes de liaison de façon à les fixer au poteau et encastrer le second poteau dans le sol.
Alternatively, the method further comprises the steps of:
  • embed the first pole in the ground;
  • placing two other connecting members as defined above on a second post so that they are held by buttresses;
  • placing one end of the second pole in the ground, pivoting the second pole and placing the matching portions of the other link members in the peripheral contours of the respective cross members of the grid member;
  • tighten the bolts of the other connecting members so as to fix them to the post and embed the second post in the ground.

On a représenté à la figure 1 un élément 2 de grille ou de vantail mobile de portail fixé à un poteau 12 par l'intermédiaire d'organes de liaison 14 selon la présente invention. L'élément de grille métallique 2 comporte des barreaux 3 parallèles, adaptés à être placés notamment en position sensiblement verticale, reliés au voisinage de leurs deux extrémités par au moins deux traverses 4 respectivement haute et basse. Chaque traverse 4 peut être constituée, comme représenté en détail à la figure 2, par deux éléments transversaux 5 en tôle pliée ou cintrée de section sensiblement en forme de C.FIG. 1 shows an element 2 of gate or gate mobile gate fixed to a pole 12 through connecting members 14 according to the present invention. The metal grid element 2 has parallel bars 3, adapted to be placed in particular in a substantially vertical position, connected to the vicinity of their two ends by at minus two ties 4 respectively high and low. Each crossbar 4 can be constituted, as shown in detail in Figure 2, by two transverse elements 5 folded sheet or curved section substantially in form of C.

Dans l'exemple de la figure 2, chaque élément transversal 5 a en section transversale une forme comprenant un tronçon central 7 et deux tronçons latéraux haut et bas 8 et 9 faisant chacun un angle avec le tronçon central 7.In the example of Figure 2, each element transversal 5a in cross section a shape comprising a central section 7 and two sections side up and down 8 and 9 each making an angle with the central section 7.

Dans cet exemple, les deux tronçons latéraux 8, 9 forment avec le tronçon central 7 deux angles sensiblement égaux et ont sensiblement la même longueur. Ils sont donc symétriques par rapport au plan médiateur 10 du tronçon central 7 ce tronçon étant en position verticale lorsque la grille est verticale (voir figures 2 et 4). Préférentiellement, chaque poteau 12 a une forme cylindrique et est un tube de section circulaire.In this example, the two lateral sections 8, 9 form with the central section 7 two angles substantially equal and have substantially the same length. They are therefore symmetrical with respect to the mediation plan 10 of the central section 7 this section being in position vertical when the grid is vertical (see figures 2 and 4). Preferably, each post 12 has a cylindrical shape and is a circular section tube.

Un élément de grille est fixé à un poteau par l'intermédiaire d'organes de liaison 14. Un organe de liaison 14 est ainsi fixé à chaque traverse 4 à cet effet.A grid element is attached to a pole by through liaison bodies 14. A body of connection 14 is thus attached to each crossbar 4 at this effect.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré aux figures 3 à 9, chaque organe de liaison 14 comporte deux corps 151 et 152 présentant des évidements 1515 et 1525. On utilisera de préférence des corps 151 et 152 qui sont le symétrique l'un de l'autre par rapport à un plan. Les évidements 1515 et 1525 sont disposés en vis-à-vis afin de former une ouverture 16 de forme complémentaire de celle du poteau 12, de section circulaire légèrement supérieure à celle du poteau 12 dans le présent exemple. Dans l'exemple, les corps 151 et 152 présentent respectivement des parties médianes 15111 et 15211 formées d'une portion de cylindre. Les surfaces supérieure (15112 et 15212 respectivement) et inférieure de chaque partie médiane sont sensiblement plates et perpendiculaires aux surfaces 1512, 1522. Ainsi, chaque organe de liaison 14 peut être placé aisément sur un poteau 12 sans nécessiter d'être enfilé par une extrémité du poteau. Par sa configuration en deux corps, un tel organe de liaison 14 peut ainsi être fixé sur un poteau 12 dont les extrémités ne sont pas libres. Le poteau 12 de la figure 1 présente en effet une extrémité encastrée dans le sol et une autre extrémité munie d'une sphère décorative 17 de section supérieure à celle de sa partie cylindrique, ce qui empêcherait l'enfilement d'un organe de liaison monobloc. In the embodiment illustrated in the figures 3 to 9, each connecting member 14 comprises two bodies 151 and 152 having recesses 1515 and 1525. On will preferably use bodies 151 and 152 which are the symmetrical to each other with respect to a plane. The recesses 1515 and 1525 are arranged vis-à-vis to form an opening 16 of complementary shape of that of the post 12, of circular section slightly greater than that of the post 12 in the present example. In the example, the bodies 151 and 152 present respectively middle parts 15111 and 15211 formed of a cylinder portion. Surfaces higher (15112 and 15212 respectively) and lower of each middle part are substantially flat and perpendicular to the surfaces 1512, 1522. Thus, each connecting member 14 can be easily placed on a post 12 without needing to be threaded by a end of the pole. By its configuration in two bodies, such a connecting member 14 can thus be fixed on a post 12 whose ends are not free. The pole 12 of FIG. 1 has indeed one end recessed into the ground and another end with a decorative sphere 17 of section greater than that of its cylindrical part, which would prevent the threading of a monobloc connecting member.

Les corps 151 et 152 présentent respectivement des extrémités 1516 et 1526 faisant saillie nettement au-delà des parties médianes 15111, 15211 et des évidements 1515 et 1525. Lorsque les évidements 1515 et 1525 sont disposés en vis-à-vis, les extrémités 1516 et 1526 forment une partie d'adaptation 13. Comme schématisé aux figures 3 à 5, la partie d'adaptation 13 comporte de préférence une partie avant 18 ayant en section transversale un contour périphérique 23 correspondant, avec le jeu nécessaire pour un assemblage facile de la grille, au contour intérieur 24 de l'extrémité libre d'une traverse 4 (un contour octogonal irrégulier dans le présent exemple). Un tel contour polygonal assure une liaison très précise entre la partie d'adaptation 13 et la traverse 4 correspondante, sans aucune possibilité de rotation.The bodies 151 and 152 respectively present ends 1516 and 1526 projecting clearly beyond the middle parts 15111, 15211 and the recesses 1515 and 1525. When the recesses 1515 and 1525 are arranged vis-à-vis, the ends 1516 and 1526 form an adaptation part. schematically in FIGS. 3 to 5, the adaptation part 13 preferably has a front portion 18 having in cross section a peripheral contour 23 corresponding, with the necessary play for an assembly easy of the grid, to the inside contour 24 of the free end of a crossbar 4 (an octagonal contour irregular in this example). Such an outline polygonal ensures a very precise connection between the adaptation part 13 and the corresponding crossbar 4, without any possibility of rotation.

La fixation de l'organe de liaison 14 au poteau 12 et à la traverse 4 peut être réalisée par tout moyen approprié. On peut facultativement prévoir que les extrémités 1516 et 1526 présentent un alésage 1518, 1528 pour une fixation par boulon. On pourrait également prévoir que les extrémités 1516 et 1526 soient simplement emboítées dans le contour intérieur 24 d'une traverse 4. Les extrémités opposées 1517 et 1527 peuvent également présenter un alésage 1519, 1529 pour une fixation par boulon. Les extrémités 1517, 1527 peuvent présenter une surface plane 1513, 1523 servant d'appui à la tête de vis ou à l'écrou du boulon 19. Les extrémités 1513, 1523 sont saillantes par rapport aux parties médianes 15111 et 15211, du côté opposé aux extrémités 1516, 1526.Fixing the connecting member 14 to the post 12 and the transom 4 can be achieved by any means appropriate. It can optionally be provided that the ends 1516 and 1526 have a bore 1518, 1528 for bolt fixation. We could also provide that the ends 1516 and 1526 are simply nested in the inner contour 24 of a 4. Opposite ends 1517 and 1527 may also have a bore 1519, 1529 for a bolt fastening. The ends 1517, 1527 can have a flat surface 1513, 1523 serving as support for the screw head or nut of the bolt 19. The ends 1513, 1523 are prominent with respect to the parts medians 15111 and 15211, the opposite side to the ends 1516, 1526.

Lors du montage, on peut envisager de disposer le poteau dans l'ouverture 16 formée par l'organe de liaison 14, puis de réaliser un présserrage par l'intermédiaire du boulon 19. La saillie formée par la partie d'adaptation 13 présente une dimension très supérieure aux extrémités 1513, 1523 et permet de décaler le centre de gravité de l'organe de liaison 14 par rapport à l'axe de l'ouverture 16. Ainsi, l'organe 14 peut être maintenu dans un premier temps sur le poteau par porte-à-faux.During assembly, it is possible to envisage the post in the opening 16 formed by the organ of connection 14, then to perform a pre-tightening by through the bolt 19. The protrusion formed by the adaptation part 13 has a very large dimension superior to the ends 1513, 1523 and allows shift the center of gravity of the connecting member 14 relative to the axis of the opening 16. Thus, the organ 14 can be maintained in the first instance on the post by cantilever.

La partie avant 18 de l'organe de liaison peut alors être insérée dans le contour intérieur 24 de l'extrémité libre d'une traverse 4. L'organe de liaison 14 peut alors être fixé à la traverse 4 par le boulon 20. On réalisera alors le serrage du boulon 19 afin de fixer solidement l'organe de liaison 14 au poteau 12 à une hauteur et une direction souhaitées. L'utilisation du boulon 20 pour fixer la partie d'adaptation 13 à la traverse 4 permet de résoudre d'éventuels problèmes de jeu au niveau de leur emboítement. Il n'est donc pas indispensable que les tolérances d'ajustement entre la traverse 4 et la partie d'adaptation 13 soient trop strictes. La fixation par un boulon 20 dont la tige traverse à la fois la traverse 4 et la partie d'adaptation 13 permet d'augmenter la résistance de la liaison entre l'élément de grille 2 et le poteau 12, notamment vis-a-vis des chocs.The front portion 18 of the linkage then be inserted into the inner contour 24 of the free end of a cross-member 4. The liaison 14 can then be attached to the crossbar 4 by the bolt 20. The bolt 19 will then be tightened to secure the connecting member 14 to the post 12 to a desired height and direction. Use of the bolt 20 to fix the adaptation part 13 to the through 4 allows to solve possible problems of play at the level of their interlocking. It is therefore not essential that the adjustment tolerances between the crossbar 4 and the adaptation part 13 are too much strict. Fixing by a bolt 20 whose stem crosses both the crossbar 4 and the part of adaptation 13 makes it possible to increase the resistance of the connection between the gate element 2 and the pole 12, especially against shocks.

Les extrémités 1516 et 1526 présentent respectivement des surfaces planes 1511 et 1521 destinées à être placées l'une contre l'autre, afin de former l'ouverture 16. On prévoit que lorsque l'ouverture 16 est formée en appliquant les surfaces planes 1511 et 1521 l'une contre l'autre, un jeu J est formé entre les surfaces planes 1512 et 1522 des extrémités 1517 et 1527. Les surfaces 1512, 1522 sont parallèles respectivement aux surfaces 1511, 1521. Ce jeu pourra être réduit par un serrage adéquat du boulon 19 par déformation élastique de l'organe de liaison 14. Ainsi, il sera possible d'obtenir un serrage ajustable de l'organe de liaison 14 sur le poteau 12. Un serrage correct pourra ainsi être obtenu, quel que soit le jeu initial entre le poteau 12 et l'ouverture 16. Par ailleurs, la réduction du jeu J par serrage du boulon 19 tend à écarter les surfaces 1511 et 1521 l'une de l'autre. Les extrémités 1516 et 1526 étant par ailleurs emboítées dans le contour intérieur 24, le serrage du boulon 19 améliore le maintien de la partie d'adaptation 13 dans la traverse 4.Ends 1516 and 1526 present respectively flat surfaces 1511 and 1521 intended to be placed against each other in order to form the opening 16. It is expected that when the opening 16 is formed by applying the surfaces planes 1511 and 1521 against each other, a game J is formed between the flat surfaces 1512 and 1522 of the ends 1517 and 1527. The surfaces 1512, 1522 are parallel to the surfaces 1511, 1521, respectively. play can be reduced by proper tightening of the bolt 19 by elastic deformation of the connecting member 14. Thus, it will be possible to obtain an adjustable clamping of the connecting member 14 on the post 12. A tightening correct can be obtained, regardless of the game between the post 12 and the opening 16. By elsewhere, reducing the clearance J by tightening the bolt 19 tends to spread surfaces 1511 and 1521 one of the other. The ends 1516 and 1526 being moreover fitted into the inner contour 24, the clamping of the bolt 19 improves the maintenance of the adaptation part 13 in the crossbar 4.

Bien qu'on ait décrit des corps 151 et 152 formant une partie d'adaptation 13 de section octogonale, on pourrait également envisager que la section formée soit carrée, rectangulaire ou circulaire, pour s'adapter à différents contours intérieurs 24.Although bodies 151 and 152 have been described forming a section adaptation part 13 octagonal, one could also consider that the section formed either square, rectangular or circular, to fit different interior contours 24.

Sur la figure 11, les extrémités 1516 et 1526 accolées définissent une partie d'adaptation 13 de section rectangulaire. Les dimensions approximatives (en millimètres) de la section formée sont de préférence les suivantes : 35 par 22, 45 par 25 ou 55 par 29. La partie d'adaptation 13 ainsi formée peut ainsi être emboítée dans des tubes de section rectangulaire les plus courants utilisés.In FIG. 11, the ends 1516 and 1526 together define an adaptation part 13 of rectangular section. The approximate dimensions (in millimeters) of the section formed are preferably following: 35 by 22, 45 by 25 or 55 by 29. The part adaptation 13 thus formed can be nested in tubes of rectangular section most currents used.

Sur la figure 12, Les extrémités 1516 et 1526 accolées définissent une partie d'adaptation 13 de section circulaire.In Figure 12, the ends 1516 and 1526 together define an adaptation part 13 of circular section.

Les figures 13 à 15 définissent des variantes permettant d'utiliser des corps 151 et 152 identiques pour différentes formes de contours intérieurs 24. On peut par exemple prévoir que les extrémités 1516 et 1526 définissent une partie d'adaptation 13 de section rectangulaire. Sur la figure 13, on accole des cales 153 et 154 aux extrémités 1516 et 1526 pour maintenir la partie d'adaptation 13 dans un contour intérieur 24 de section supérieure à celle de la partie d'adaptation 13. Sur la figure 14, on utilise des cales 153 et 154 dont la section est une portion de disque. La partie d'adaptation 13 peut alors être maintenue dans un contour intérieur 24 de section circulaire. Sur la figure 15, on utilise des cales 153 et 154 définissant un contour extérieur hexagonal. La partie d'adaptation 13 peut alors être maintenue dans un contour intérieur 24 tel qu'illustré à la figure 2. On pourrait également utiliser des cales 153 et 154 définissant un contour extérieur octogonal tel qu'illustré à la figure 3. L'homme du métier pourra donc utiliser des organes de liaison 14 identiques pour différents éléments de grille en se munissant de cales 153, 154 adéquates.Figures 13 to 15 define variants allowing the use of identical bodies 151 and 152 for different shapes of interior contours. can for example provide that the ends 1516 and 1526 define a section adaptation part 13 rectangular. In FIG. 13, shims 153 are joined and 154 at the ends 1516 and 1526 to maintain the adaptation part 13 in an inner contour 24 of upper section than that of the adaptation part 13. In FIG. 14, wedges 153 and 154 are used with the section is a portion of disk. The part adaptation 13 can then be maintained in a inner contour 24 of circular section. On the FIG. 15 uses spacers 153 and 154 defining a hexagonal outer contour. The adaptation part 13 can then be maintained in an inner contour 24 as illustrated in Figure 2. We could also use shims 153 and 154 defining an outline octagonal exterior as shown in Figure 3. The person skilled in the art may therefore use identical link 14 for different gate elements by providing appropriate shims 153, 154.

On peut prévoir que les cales présentent une section constante sur toute leur longueur. Ces cales peuvent notamment être fixées par collage sur les extrémités 1516 et 1526.We can predict that the wedges have a constant section over their entire length. These holds in particular can be fixed by gluing on ends 1516 and 1526.

La figure 16 illustre une variante de cale 1531 monobloc. Cette cale 1531 présente un évidement 1532 prévu pour loger des extrémités 1516 et 1526 avec un certain jeu. La cale présente un épaulement 1533 au niveau d'une de ses extrémités axiales qui vient en butée contre l'extrémité des éléments transversaux 5 lors de son insertion dans le contour intérieur 24. Une fente 1534 s'étend sur tout l'axe de la cale. Cette fente permet éventuellement de déformer la cale 1531 afin de faciliter son insertion dans le contour intérieur 24.Figure 16 illustrates a variant of wedge 1531 piece. This shim 1531 has a recess 1532 provided for housing ends 1516 and 1526 with a certain play. The wedge has a shoulder 1533 at level of one of its axial ends that comes into stop against the end of the transverse elements 5 when inserted into the inner contour. Slot 1534 extends over the entire axis of the hold. This slot allows to possibly deform the hold 1531 to facilitate insertion into the contour inside 24.

Comme illustré à la figure 6, chaque extrémité des traverses 4 peut présenter une rainure 51 afin de permettre d'ajuster le positionnement de l'extrémité de l'élément transversal par rapport au poteau 12. Avant le serrage du boulon 20, celui-ci peut alors coulisser dans la rainure 51 afin de permettre cet ajustement.As shown in Figure 6, each end cross members 4 may have a groove 51 in order to allow to adjust the positioning of the end of the cross member relative to the post 12. Before the tightening the bolt 20, it can then slide in the groove 51 to allow this adjustment.

La partie avant 18 peut éventuellement présenter un épaulement 25, comme illustré aux figures 4 et 5. Le positionnement d'un élément de grille par rapport au poteau peut alors être réalisé de façon très précise. Avec un épaulement 25 ayant une hauteur sensiblement égale à l'épaisseur de la tôle pliée formant les éléments transversaux 5, la jonction visible entre un organe de liaison 14 et un élément transversal 5 est affleurante.The front part 18 can possibly present a shoulder 25, as illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5. positioning of a grid element with respect to post can then be realized very precisely. With a shoulder 25 having a height substantially equal to the thickness of the folded sheet forming the transverse elements 5, the visible junction between a connecting member 14 and a transverse member 5 is flush.

Chaque organe de liaison 14 peut être fixé sur le poteau 12 à une hauteur prédéterminée. Il est ainsi possible de disposer deux éléments de grille 2 situés de part et d'autre d'un même poteau 12 à deux hauteurs différentes, en escalier, pour suivre la pente du terrain sur lequel doit être installée la grille selon la présente invention. Les décrochements 1514 et 1524 réalisés dans les corps permettent également de fixer deux éléments de grille consécutifs à la même hauteur, comme cela ressort de la figure 4.Each connecting member 14 can be attached to the post 12 at a predetermined height. It is so possible to have two grid elements 2 located on both sides of the same pole 12 at two heights stairs, to follow the slope of the ground on which the grid must be installed the present invention. The setbacks 1514 and 1524 made in the bodies also allow to fix two consecutive grid elements at the same height, as is apparent from Figure 4.

La section circulaire des poteaux 12 et de l'ouverture 16 permet de donner à deux éléments de grilles adjacents situés de part et d'autre d'un même poteau 12 des orientations différentes pour suivre le contour du terrain à clôturer.The circular section of the poles 12 and the opening 16 can give two elements of adjacent grids located on either side of the same pole 12 different orientations to follow the outline of the ground to be fenced.

Afin de former une grille à partir d'éléments de grille, de poteaux et d'organes de liaison 14 à deux corps tels que décrits précédemment, on peut envisager le procédé suivant. On encastre un premier poteau 12 dans le sol. On place deux organes de liaison 14 approximativement à leur hauteur de fixation. Ces organes de liaison 14 sont maintenus sur le premier poteau par arc-boutement du fait d'un pré-serrage de leur boulon 19, comme décrit précédemment. On place un élément de grille à la hauteur souhaitée aux moyens de cales, en introduisant les extrémités 1516 et 1526 des organes de liaison dans un contour périphérique 24 respectif des traverses 4. On poursuit alors le serrage des boulons 19 jusqu'à obtenir la fixation souhaitée entre le poteau et l'élément de grille. On dispose un second poteau 12 dans une cavité ménagée dans le sol à l'opposée du premier poteau. On dispose deux organes de liaison 14 sur le second poteau, approximativement à la hauteur de traverses respectives 4. Ces organes de liaison 14 sont maintenus par arc-boutement comme décrit précédemment. On fait pivoter le second poteau et on guide les extrémités 1516 et 1526 des corps 151 et 152 de façon à les introduire dans le contour intérieur respectif 24 des traverses 4. On poursuit alors le serrage des boulons 19 jusqu'à obtenir la fixation souhaitée entre le poteau et l'élément de grille. Le second poteau peut alors être fixé à demeure dans la cavité du sol. La formation de la grille est alors poursuivie de façon similaire pour les éléments de grille suivants, chaque poteau venant d'être encastré ayant la fonction du premier poteau décrit ci-dessus.To form a grid from elements of grid, poles and connecting members 14 to two bodies as described previously, it is possible to envisage the following process. We put a first pole 12 in the ground. Two connecting devices are placed 14 approximately at their attachment height. These connecting members 14 are maintained on the first post by bracing because of a pre-tightening of their bolt 19, as previously described. We place a grid element at the desired height by means of wedges, by introducing the ends 1516 and 1526 of connecting members in a peripheral contour 24 respective ties 4. The tightening bolts 19 until the desired fixation between the pole and the grid element. We have a second post 12 in a cavity formed in the ground to the opposite of the first post. We have two organs of link 14 on the second post, approximately at respective sleepers 4. These bodies of link 14 are held by riveting as described previously. We rotate the second post and we guides the ends 1516 and 1526 of the bodies 151 and 152 so as to introduce them into the inner contour 24 cross members. tightening bolts 19 until securing desired between the post and the gate element. The second pole can then be fixed permanently in the ground cavity. The formation of the grid is then pursued similarly for the elements of following grid, each post being recessed having the function of the first post described above.

Un tel élément standardisé peut ensuite être assemblé de façon simple et rapide à des poteaux pouvant être disposés l'un par rapport à l'autre à des distances et à des niveaux variables et dans des directions variables pour suivre le contour et les déclivités éventuelles d'un terrain mouvementé, pour former une grille adaptée audit terrain. L'assemblage des éléments de grille 2 sur les poteaux 12 se fait alors au moyen d'organes de liaison 14 identiques qui peuvent être, par exemple, des organes moulés en alliage léger.Such a standardized element can then be assembled quickly and easily to poles that can be arranged relative to one another at distances and at varying levels and in directions variables to follow the contour and the gradients possible of a hectic ground, to form a grid adapted to said field. The assembly of elements grid 2 on the posts 12 is then done by means identical connecting members 14 which can be, for example, example, molded bodies of light alloy.

Les barreaux 3 peuvent également présenter une extrémité supérieure présentant une des formes illustrées aux figures 10A à 10D. Les formes pointues illustrées aux figures 10A et 10B peuvent notamment être réalisées à l'extrémité d'un barreau plein, afin de dissuader quelqu'un d'escalader la grille. Sur les figures 10C et 10D, le barreau présente un embout amovible 26. Les embouts peuvent ainsi être remplacés suivant les besoins ou les souhaits de l'utilisateur de la grille, sans impliquer de modification du barreau lui-même. Les embouts peuvent être configurés pour se fixer par emboítement d'une embase cylindrique dans l'alésage intérieur d'un barreau creux.The bars 3 may also have a upper end showing one of the forms illustrated in Figures 10A-10D. Pointed shapes illustrated in FIGS. 10A and 10B may especially be carried out at the end of a full bar in order to dissuade someone from climbing the grid. On the 10C and 10D, the bar has a mouthpiece 26. The end caps can thus be replaced according to the needs or wishes of the user of the grid, without involving a change in the bar himself. The tips can be configured to fix by interlocking a cylindrical base in the inner bore of a hollow bar.

Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés, et ont peut apporter à ceux-ci de nombreux changements et modifications sans sortir du domaine de l'invention.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and represented, and can bring to these many changes and modifications without departing from the scope of the invention.

On peut ainsi par exemple, remplacer la section en forme de C des éléments transversaux par une section de forme différente donnant à ces éléments transversaux la résistance et la rigidité voulues. On peut alors facilement adapter les organes de liaison et les parties d'adaptation au profil retenu pour lesdits éléments transversaux.For example, we can replace the section C-shaped cross elements by a section of different shape giving these cross elements the desired strength and rigidity. We can then Easily adapt the connecting parts and the parts adaptation to the profile retained for said elements transverse.
