Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of raising an existing semi-rigid fence, tensioned, type of fence, supported by posts planted in the ground at more or less regular intervals.
  • the present invention obviously also relates to a raising pole of an existing fence, allowing the implementation of the aforementioned method, and a raised fence post obtained by the implementation of said method.
  • the current tendency is therefore to border the various rights-of-way and land to be protected with fences higher than the first fences laid.
  • the new fences thus reach heights of 2 meters, or even 2.50 meters, above the ground.
  • the posts used to support the fences of a fence are for the most part made in the form of metal tubular sections having a so-called cross-section C-shaped, the core of such tubular sections being provided with means forming projections, such rings or buckles reported by welding or, more simply, latches obtained by partial cutting of the constituent plate of the tubular section followed by a deformation of said sheet, such projecting means for fastening the son of the mesh.
  • the first technique is to introduce into the existing post, in the upper part thereof, a so-called raising profile whose length is of the order of 80 to 100 centimeters and whose outer section is complementary to the inner section of the post existing, the soul of the raising profile having been previously provided in the upper part of the means for the attachment of the son of the additional wire and having been previously drilled in the center of an orifice located about 20 centimeters from its end edge inferior.
  • the technician manually supports the raising profile in its downward movement until the two orifices pierced one on the raising profile and the other on the existing post are placed in front of it. one of the other.
  • the technician then introduces a bolt passing through the two aligned orifices, a bolt of which he then screws the threaded free end in a nut which he has on the opposite side to that of the bolt head, said nut having most often the shape a U-shaped stirrup whose two wings frame the existing profile, which facilitates the screwing of the bolt.
  • the second technique is to weld the raising pole, then chosen the same cross section as the existing post, around a base post whose outer cross section is complementary to the inner section of the existing post.
  • the present invention therefore proposes to eliminate all the aforementioned drawbacks and, for this purpose, it is a principle to use only one profile to form the raising pole - which has the effect of eliminating the disadvantages of the second technique - and to provide such a raising pole, which is therefore in one piece, an abutment which is adapted to cooperate alone and automatically with the upper end edge of the existing post - which has for effect to eliminate the disadvantages of the first prior art.
  • the expression "in one piece" which qualifies the raising pole according to the invention means that said post is consisting of a single piece, that is to say that it does not result from the assembly of at least two pieces).
  • Such flaps have the shape of bent parts and they are made by welding assembly of two sections of generally different cross sections, the smaller section being of the same type as the "base post" and that of larger. section being the same type as the pole strictly speaking who will receive the flap.
  • the profile of smaller section of the flap has bosses forming protrusions to the outside, which bosses will allow to block the flap inside the post and prevent its tearing, and the profile of larger section is equipped with latches also protruding outwards, latches that will hold the wire fence wire.
  • Such flaps are forcibly introduced into the column itself, by their profile of smaller section, in the upper part of said post, the section of larger section, which is then in an oblique position, being turned towards the interior of the ground to secure.
  • the present invention thus has as its first object a method of raising an existing semi-rigid fence, tensioned, type roasting, supported by posts planted in the ground at more or less regular intervals, each of said posts being made in the form a tubular section provided with projecting means for fastening the wires of the grid, said method being characterized in that , in the desired zones of enhancement, a stud of raising consisting of a tubular section in one piece whose cross section is complementary to that of the existing pole, said raising pole being itself provided with first means forming projections, for attachment of the son of the mesh to enhance the existing fence, and at least a second means also projecting, adapted to abut against the upper edge of the pole existing and thus prevent the raising pole to go further into the existing pole, and in that it pushes the raising pole in the existing post until it comes to abut against the existing post .
  • each raising pole there is formed on each raising pole, between the two edges thereof, at least one pawl whose free end is rotated in the direction of insertion of said raising pole to the inside the existing pole, said latch constituting the stop for blocking the descent of said raising pole.
  • At least one wedging means is formed by embossing the raising post capable of being embedded under one projections present on the existing pole and thus block the raising and disengagement of the raising pole relative to the existing pole.
  • the present invention has for its second object a raising pole of an existing fence allowing the implementation of the method corresponding to the general definition explained above, said raising pole being remarkable in that it consists of a tubular section in one piece whose outer cross section is complementary to the inner cross section of the existing post, said raising post further comprising first projection means for fastening the son of the mesh to enhance the existing fence, and at least a second means also protruding, adapted to abut against the upper edge of the existing pole and thus prevent the raising pole to descend further inside the existing pole.
  • the first is in one piece while the flaps are obtained by the assembly by welding of two profiles, of which in addition one was by necessity cut obliquely.
  • the cost of producing a flap is therefore significantly higher than the cost of producing a raising pole.
  • the raising pole according to the invention is rectilinear and it is mounted in the upper part of the pole to to raise while being thus entirely located in the exact extension of the post to be raised whereas the bolster is a bent part whose visible part, external to the post to crown, is oblique and turned towards the interior of the ground to secure.
  • the raising pole is essentially designed to prevent the passage of animals over the fence while the sill is intended to prevent the passage of humans over the fence.
  • the raising pole is designed to enhance any fence posts, whether they are rights-of-way or lands that are to be protected from access, while the sill is much more expensive to erect than the fence post. enhancement, is therefore a much more limited application and turns out to be actually used to crown the fences surrounding land and prevent intrusions or escapes of humans.
  • the raising pole is essentially intended to receive the son of a raising grid, which son are smooth, while the flap is generally intended to receive barbed wire.
  • the first means forming protrusions on such a raising pole are in the form of aligned pawls and arranged at a substantially regular interval, the free ends of said pawls being oriented in the opposite direction to that of the existing pole to be raised, c that is, facing upwards.
  • the or each second means projecting on such a raising pole is in the form of a pawl whose free end is oriented in direction of the existing pole to raise, that is to say, pointing down.
  • At least one boss is provided under the second abutment means, said boss constituting a wedging means of the raising pole relative to the pole.
  • the boss or each boss has the shape of an ovoid portion whose lower end, turned towards the existing post to be raised, is rounded, and whose upper end, turned in the opposite direction, has a planar face perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the raising pole and adapted to abut against the edge of a puncture of one of the latches of the existing pole.
  • the outer cross section of the raising pole is also in C and is complementary to the inner cross section of the existing pole.
  • the present invention obviously has for third object a fence post characterized in that it comprises a raising pole according to at least one of the abovementioned constructions.
  • FIGS. 1a and 1b are for the simple purpose of illustrating the realization of a raising pole according to the first prior art explained in preliminary.
  • the existing post is marked with 1 and the raising post is marked with 2.
  • the existing post 1 is already buried in the ground, either directly or by being fitted around a so-called base profile which has been previously beaten in the ground so as to be completely buried, the upper edge of such a base profile flush with the ground surface.
  • the height of the pole is in the order of 1.50 meters above the ground.
  • the post 1 whose cross section has been chosen for this C-shaped example, comprises on its core 3 projecting means 4 on which are hung the son of the existing fence, said means 4 being aligned and arranged at a more or less regular interval depending on the needs.
  • These means 4 may be rings or loops reported by welding.
  • these means 4 are pawls that were obtained by partial cutting of the constituent plate of the post 1, followed by a deformation of said sheet.
  • the free ends of the latches 4 are oriented upwards.
  • the raising pole 2 is made in the workshop so that its external cross section is complementary to the internal cross section of the existing post 1. Its length, depending on the height required for the raising of the existing fence, may vary between 0, 8 and 1.3 meters, of which about 0.3 meters will be nested in the existing post 1.
  • the core 33 of the raising pole 2 has been provided with means 5 protruding, these means 5 in the example shown being, as on the existing post 1, aligned pawls, formed by stamping and deformation of the constituent plate of the profile 2.
  • the core 33 of the post 2 will also comprise an orifice 6 pierced at about 0.2 meters from the lower end edge 7 of the profile 2.
  • the technician pierces the core 3 of the existing post 1 with an orifice 8 at approximately 0.1 meters from the upper edge of said existing post, then he introduces the raising post 2 into the existing post 1 by its edge 7 and it gently lowers said raising pole by supporting it manually, and until the orifice 6 is brought in line with the orifice 8.
  • the technician introduces into the two orifices 8, 6, a bolt 9 equipped with a washer 10 which passes through the two posts 1 and 2 thus fitted and it fixes the bolt 9 by means of a nut 11.
  • This nut 11 is advantageously made in the form of a plate pierced at its center.
  • FIGS. 2a and 2b are for the simple purpose of illustrating the realization of a raising pole according to the second prior art explained in preliminary.
  • the raising pole 14 is this time obtained by welding two C-sections, a first profile 15 which will constitute the raising part, whose cross section is identical to that of the existing post 1, and a second section 16 which will constitute the part interlocking or connecting with the existing post 1, and whose cross section is that of a base profile, so complementary to the inner section of the existing post.
  • the profile 16 is welded in the workshop in the section 15 over a length of about 0.3 meters. It extends approximately 0.3 meters from the profile 15, which itself has a length of the order of 0.5 meter to 1 meter, depending on the desired height of enhancement for the existing fence.
  • the core 3 of the existing post 1 and the core 17 of the section 15 are both provided with aligned pawls, 4 and 18, respectively, whose free ends are turned upwards. .
  • the raising pole 21 according to the invention is in one piece and it is of an outer cross section complementary to the internal cross section of the existing pole 1 to be raised.
  • the raising pole 21 itself has a C-section.
  • the C-profile is formed in one piece using the known cold forming technique, that is to say, it is progressively deformed. the original plane sheet between successive pairs of rollers arranged transversely on a profiling line.
  • This procedure has the advantage of allowing on the same profiling line the production of latches 22 intended to allow attachment of the son of the raised portion of the fence, these latches 22 being all obtained by partial cutting of the sheet and deformation partially cut parts.
  • the protruding pawls 22 thus formed all have the same orientation and, on the profile obtained by cold profiling which will subsequently be cut to lengths of 0.8 to 1.3 meters, depending on the height of desired enhancement, they will all be oriented upwards, aligned and arranged at more or less regular intervals along the longitudinal axis of the profile.
  • the installation on site of the raising pole 21 thus produced is particularly easy since it suffices to fit the pole 21 by its end 23 in the existing post 1 and to lower said raising pole until the bottom of its latch 24 comes to abut against the upper end edge 20 of the existing pole.
  • the latch 24 will form with the core 28 of the post 21 a protrusion protruding from said core a distance slightly greater than the thickness of the sheet constituting the existing post 1.
  • the raising pole 21 thus installed is blocked in its descent movement.
  • Each boss 29 has the shape of an ovoid portion whose lower end 30, facing the existing post 1 to be raised, is rounded, and whose upper end 31, turned in the opposite direction, has a flat face which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the raising pole 21.
  • the flat face 31 of the boss 29 is able to abut against the edge 32 of the puncture (of the blank) of the existing sheet under any latch 4 of the existing post 1, which will have the effect of jamming the raising pole 21 relative to the existing post and thus prevent any upward movement including any unwanted tearing.
  • the flat face 31 of the boss will have a slightly smaller width than the edge 32 of the puncture made in the sheet.
  • FIG. Figure 8 An existing fence 34 raised in accordance with the invention is shown in FIG. Figure 8 .
  • the technician After interlocking of the raising pole 21 in the existing post 1 and abutting said raising pole as soon as the bottom of this pawl 24 comes into contact with the upper end edge 20 of the post 1, the technician has only four fixing the wires 36 of the raising fence 35 to the pole 21, using the latches 22 for this purpose.
