Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a modular assembly system for railings and enclosures, of the type used in construction for forming gratings, gates, fences, railings and other elements for demarcating areas of passage.
  • Enclosures primarily made of wrought ironwork or by means of hollow pipes made of iron and optionally aluminum, which are custom manufactured and are delivered to the work site virtually assembled or in considerably large sized sections that can be coupled together mainly by means of welding or other means of attachment are well known today.
  • These sections mainly comprise vertical elements for their vertical arrangement and attached at their ends to at least one longitudinal element, advantageously the upper end, for forming railings, gratings, gates and other enclosures in general.
  • the modular assembly system for railings and enclosures object of this invention has technical particularities intended for providing a product that can be adjusted to the needs of the user, such as a prefabricated product that is easy to install and requires no maintenance due to its constitution.
  • This system prevents the need for a prior manufacture and the work of ironworking, i.e., the prior assembly of the enclosure or of considerably large sized sections of the enclosure, with specific dimensions for the installation or final need to be covered.
  • Another objective is the standardization of the elements or modules used, such that the need of the user is covered simply by purchasing a variable number of elements and the desired accessories.
  • the use of standardized elements allows a user or a non-specialized operator to be able to assemble the railing or enclosure with simple general knowledge of mechanical assembly, like with the furniture kit products already existing.
  • the present invention is suitable for selling directly to the end user, like a common do-it-yourself kit.
  • the vertical elements are formed by a strong and rigid metal core on which an outer layer of plastic material which coats it is overinjected, said metal core having at its ends fixing means for fixing it to the adjacent longitudinal element.
  • This configuration of the basic elements of the system involves an enormous advantage because the plastic coating protects the metal core from the outer environment, protecting it from the weather and corrosion.
  • the plastic coating can be of the desired color by the inclusion of pigments in its mass, thus preventing the necessary maintenance operations against corrosion and the aesthetic finish is immediate.
  • the system is formed by modular elements, the application in the installation site is simple and can be done by a do-it-yourselfer with few tools, achieving a solid and long-lasting result.
  • the plastic materials used in the coating are mainly thermoplastic materials which allow a simpler formation, either by coextrusion or overmolding around the metal part. Furthermore, when these plastic materials are applied in fluid state, they penetrate into the possible recesses of the metal core, preventing areas being exposed to corrosion.
  • This system allows making enclosures in which the vertical elements configure bars between two longitudinal elements, such as the typical wrought gratings, and in an alternative embodiment the vertical elements serve as a support for intermediate panels which are complemented with a single upper longitudinal element like a conventional railing.
  • the fixing means for fixing the vertical elements comprise a rod or a thread as a coupling of the end of the metal core to the longitudinal element, using in turn a screw, nut or accessory introduced through a transverse opening existing in said longitudinal element, and being screwed to the end of the vertical element.
  • the vertical elements are thus easily secured between two longitudinal elements, the width dimensions being determined by means of the section of the longitudinal element and the height by means of the selection of the vertical elements or bars with suitable length.
  • the accessory that is configured as an adornment, which has the shape of a spearhead.
  • This adornment is made up of a metal core with a screw coupling by a rod or a thread, on which there is an outer plastic body with the mentioned pointed tip shape.
  • this accessory replaces the conventional nut or screw for the attachment of the vertical element in the form of a bar to the longitudinal element.
  • the longitudinal element is formed by a strong and rigid metal core on which an outer layer of plastic material which coats it is overinjected.
  • This longitudinal element is especially suited for its outer use, completing the aesthetic appearance of the enclosure and the protection of the metal elements against corrosion.
  • the vertical elements or bars can have decorative side accessories, such as those used in other traditional enclosures.
  • the side accessories which are made up of a metal core with an overinjected plastic coating in a manner similar to the other components.
  • the system comprises side couplings for the coupling to a wall or column, made up of a plate with fixing means and a front coupling projection of the longitudinal element.
  • the anchoring is also simple and robust, without needing to perform construction works, since the fixing means of these side couplings can be simple screws that are screwed on plastic plugs.
  • the front projection is an emerging male which is introduced either in the hollow interior of the longitudinal element, or in a hollow sleeve receiving the end of said longitudinal element, the fixing being completed by means of side screws.
  • the vertical elements comprise at one end, preferably the lower end, an anchoring platform of the metal core for its direct fixing to the ground or flooring, forming a supporting column for the firm support of the railing or enclosure.
  • an anchoring platform of the metal core for its direct fixing to the ground or flooring, forming a supporting column for the firm support of the railing or enclosure.
  • the fixing means between the vertical elements and the longitudinal elements comprise a T-shaped end which can transversely have a hollow passage for the internal arrangement of the elongated longitudinal element in a manner that is common for several vertical elements for forming a handrail.
  • the longitudinal element is a solid or hollow elongated metal bar.
  • the system serves for both making conventional railings and for making railings of stairways, ramps and other architectural elements, such that the vertical elements are not arranged perpendicular in a fixed manner to the longitudinal element, but rather they acquire a variable angle of inclination for their adaptation to the installation site.
  • the fixing means have an inclination articulation between the metal core of the vertical element and the longitudinal element. This articulation, mainly made in the fixing means, allows the rotation of the coupling of said fixing means with respect to the longitudinal element, maintaining the strength and safety of the attachment.
  • the metal core of the vertical elements is still attached in a suitable and strong manner.
  • the longitudinal element longitudinally has a C-shaped groove and the fixing means are configured as a thickening with side slots for the fixing thereof by interference in said groove.
  • the coupling of the vertical element to the longitudinal element is simple, simply introducing the thickening in the groove and rotating it, such as in a bayonet coupling.
  • the fixing of the vertical element at the other end for example by means of screwing to the ground or flooring, prevents it from being able to be accidentally released.
  • the side of the longitudinal element thus formed opposite the groove is completely smooth and continuous, suitable for forming steel or aluminum handrails, for example.
  • the system comprises the use of caps that can be coupled to an end of the longitudinal element like a closing adornment, whereby preventing seeing the hollow end laterally at the ends of rails, corners and other end areas.
  • the system also comprises planar or overhanging coupling means for coupling the vertical elements to the ground or flooring.
  • the system provides its use for securing rails and enclosures comprising intermediate panels between the vertical elements, such as glass panels or panels of other materials.
  • the vertical element longitudinally comprises one or more side grooves for the coupling of intermediate panels. These grooves house the side edge of the panel inserted between two vertical elements, and the arrangement thereof allows the placement of coplanar consecutive panels.
  • the panels can be secured at a certain height of the lower end of the vertical element by means of spacing elements arranged in said side groove, which can be completely covered by means of a cap if it is not used, for example at an end of a railing.
  • the system also comprises an elongated side support with a longitudinal groove for the fixing of one of the intermediate panels to a column or wall.
  • the system comprises attachment parts for attaching two consecutive longitudinal elements, which are useful for making corners, the parts being bent in this case, or straight as a splice of two consecutive and aligned longitudinal elements.
  • the system basically comprises a plurality of vertical elements (1a, 1b, 1c) secured to a longitudinal element (2a, 2b, 2c) at one of their ends, as is depicted in Figure 10 , or to two longitudinal elements (2a, 2b, 2c), as depicted in Figures 1 and 4 , said association being by means of fixing means allowing their completely modular assembly and sizing.
  • the vertical elements (1a, 1b, 1c) are made up of a strong and rigid metal core (11), in this case of iron, and on which an outer layer (12) of plastic material, more specifically a thermoplastic, is overinjected, providing the outer color, texture and shape finish, protecting the metal core (11) from external environmental agents and from corrosion.
