Description
- The present invention relates to a post that is intended to be partially driven into the ground.
- Such a post can, for example, be a post for constructing a fence, for example for a garden or a field or similar, borders for ponds or garden paths, to block a passageway, for example to obstruct car traffic, or similar.
- There are of course already many types of posts of the aforementioned type.
- A disadvantage of many of these known posts is that they are manufactured from a raw material that is very heavy, such as metal or concrete or similar, such that they are difficult to handle and the transport of them is cumbersome and expensive, as is the case for example for
WO 95/29313 - However, in order to give sufficient rigidity to such known posts of a lighter material, these posts are generally hollow, whereby the cross-section of these hollow posts is often such that the stacking of the posts is problematic and not compact, which also hampers the transport of such posts.
- Moreover, such known hollow posts of a light material take up a relatively large amount of space, such that when transporting a number of such posts the required volume per weight unit is very large.
- In this way the maximum capacity of the vehicles, such as lorries and similar, for transporting the posts is often not optimally utilised, as the load volume of such a vehicle is limited, while the maximum tonnage of the vehicle is generally much greater than the weight of the load volume of a vehicle loaded with such posts.
- Another disadvantage of the known posts is that their shape is not suitable for being driven into the ground easily, so that the placement of such a post requires a lot of energy or force.
- Other types of posts are known from
US 3.891.189 andFR 2.568.926 -
Document FR 2 560 926 claim 1. - Another disadvantage of the known posts is that the materials from which they are manufactured are often difficult or impossible to recycle, and are also relatively expensive.
- Moreover, the known posts usually have the disadvantage that they are not very suitable for reuse because they are difficult to clean, whereby for example earth typically accumulates in certain hollows of the post that is difficult to remove.
- The purpose of the invention is to provide a solution to one or more of the aforementioned disadvantages and any other disadvantages.
- To this end the invention concerns a post intended to be driven, at least partially, into the ground, comprising the features of
claim 1. - A first advantage of such a post according to the invention is that its H-shaped cross-section gives the post very great rigidity.
- Another advantage of such a post according to the invention is that its H-shaped cross-section covers a limited surface area, so that a post with such a cross-section can be driven into the ground relatively easily and without having to apply too much force.
- Moreover, as a result of the H-shaped cross-section, the posts can be stacked in an extremely compact way, as will be further demonstrated, whereby during the stacking of the posts large parts of the posts lie within the contours of the underlying and overlying posts.
- Another advantage of such a post according to the invention with an H-shaped cross-section is that the post can cool down very quickly during manufacture, such that the manufacturing process can proceed very quickly.
- A post according to the invention is also easy to clean and earth cannot easily adhere to such a post because of the H-shaped cross-section of the post.
- According to the invention, the H-shaped cross-section of the post is formed by two parallel flanges that are connected together by means of a transverse web, whereby at one end the post preferably has a point that is formed by the flanges of the post at that end being bevelled towards the web.
- This embodiment of a post according to the invention with a point has the advantage that the post can be easily positioned and driven into the ground even more easily.
- Another preferred characteristic of a post according to the invention is that the post can be manufactured from recycled household plastic waste.
- In this way a post according to this invention helps keep the waste mountain within limits, which of course is favourable for the environment.
- Moreover the cost price of such a post according to this embodiment is kept very low and the weight of the post is very low.
- With the intention of better showing the characteristics of the invention, a few preferred embodiments of a post according to the invention are described hereinafter by way of an example, without any limiting nature, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
figure 1 shows a perspective view of a post according to the invention; -
figure 2 shows a top view of the post offigure 1 according to arrow F2; -
figure 3 shows a side view of the post offigure 1 according to arrow F3; -
figure 4 shows a cross-section through the post offigure 1 according to the line IV-IV; -
figure 5 shows a perspective view of a number of posts according tofigure 1 stacked in a number of layers; -
figure 6 shows a cross-section through the stacked posts according to a plane indicated by line VI-VI infigure 5 ; and -
figure 7 , analogous tofigure 5 , shows a cross-section of a different embodiment of a post according to the invention; -
figure 8 , analogous tofigure 6 , shows a cross-section through the stacked posts according tofigure 7 . - The
post 1 shown infigures 1 to 4 is intended to be driven into the ground, at least partially, for example in order. to construct a fence or similar. - Preferably such a
post 1 according to the invention is manufactured from recycled household plastic waste, such that waste is converted into a useful and usable product, and as such makes a contribution to limiting the environmental burden. - It is characteristic of a
post 1 according to the invention that the post has an H-shaped cross-section 2 over its entire length L, as shown infigure 4 , except for apart 3 at oneend 4 and apart 5 at itsother end 6. - It is clear that such a shape of the
post 1 is favourable for its stability, and that due to the limited area of the H-shaped cross-section 2 such apost 1 according to the invention can easily be driven into the ground. - The H-
shaped cross-section 2 of thepost 1 is formed by twoparallel flanges transverse web 9. - Preferably one end, in this case the
end 6, of thepost 1 according to the invention has apoint 10 that is formed by theflanges post 1 at thatend 6 having abevel 11 towards theweb 9. - Such a
bevel 11 is very practical for positioning apost 1 according to the invention on the ground and then driving thepost 1 into this ground. - Another embodiment of a
post 1 according to the invention consists of thepost 1 having a closedhead 12 at one end, more specifically theend 4 opposite thefoot 10, whereby at thatend 4 there is ahead plate 13 between theflanges head plate 13 is affixed transversely to an end of theweb 9. - Such an embodiment of a
post 1 according to the invention has the advantage that the rigidity of thepost 1 is improved, while the means for driving thepost 1 into the ground increases as thehead plate 13 can act as a support surface for driving thepost 1 into this ground. - The
flanges figures 1 to 4 practically corresponds to the width B of theweb 9 between theflanges - Moreover, in the case of
figures 1 to 4 the thickness of theflanges web 9. - Moreover, in the embodiment shown in
figures 1 to 4 theweb 9 forms a plane of symmetry for thepost 1, but this does not necessarily need to be the case according to the invention. -
Figure 5 shows a quantity ofposts 1, as described above, stacked on top of one another, and these posts are stacked inlayers - Each layer of
posts posts 1 next to one another, with theirflanges - Moreover the
head 12 and thefoot 10 of eachpost 1 of alayer head 12 andfoot 10 of theadjacent posts 1. - The
posts 1 of alayer heads 12 andfeet 10 of theposts 1 of alayer 14 to 16 are adjacent to one another. - Furthermore, according to the invention it is extremely useful to orient the
posts 1 of successive layers ofposts - Indeed, in this way it is possible for the
flanges overlying post 1 to lie in between theflanges underlying posts 1. - As shown in more detail in
figure 6 , apost 1 of an overlying layer ofposts flanges webs 9 of theunderlying posts 1 of the underlying layer concerned, respectivelylayer 15 andlayer 14. - Moreover, each
post 1 of anoverlying layer web 9 on theadjacent flanges underlying posts 1. - The
heads 12 of theposts 1 of anoverlying layer feet 10 of theposts 1 of an underlying layer, respectively 14 and 15. - It is clear that in this way an extremely compact stack is obtained, which can be very clearly inferred from
figure 6 for example. -
Figures 7 and 8 show that the dimensions and positioning of theflanges web 9 of apost 1 according to the invention are not important to obtain stacks in such an efficient way, as long as thecross-section 2 of apost 1 is an H-shaped cross section 2. - More specifically a
post 1 as shown infigure 7 has aweb 9 that does not form a plane of symmetry between theflanges web 10 theflanges long arms 17 andshort arms 18. - Moreover, a
post 1 according to the embodiment offigure 7 is constructed with a thickness d' that is greater than the thickness d of aflange - Nevertheless, a compact stack of
such posts 1 according to the embodiment offigure 7 can be obtained by alternately placing theposts 1 ofsuccessive layers 14 to 16 either with thelong arms 17 of theflanges short arms 18 of theflanges - Of course a symmetrical construction provides the advantage that when stacking the
posts 1 on each other, the orientation of the flanges does not need to be considered.
