Definitions

  • the invention concerns a modular enclosure particularly suited to delimit pieces of land and comprising a plurality of modular elements, each one of which is interposed between two upright elements via improved connection elements.
  • modular enclosures consist of a plurality of modular elements, each one of which is interposed and supported between two upright elements, which in technical jargon are called "posts".
  • Each modular element in the specific case of enclosures made of wrought iron or any other metal alloy, comprises at least two horizontal rods arranged and connected parallel to each other by means of a plurality of transversal elements.
  • a first example of this need is the situation in which the piece of land to be delimited is characterized by different levels.
  • enclosures are used to delimit completely pieces of land that have specific and even complex geometrical shapes.
  • said posts make it possible to join two adjacent modular elements with an angle of incidence of 90 or 180 degrees, in such a way as to obtain 90° corners or straight sections, respectively.
  • a recognized drawback is represented by the fact that the modular elements and the corresponding posts are not characterized by such a universality as to allow the entire enclosure to adapt to the multiple situations that occur during installation.
  • a first example which has become commonly used, is the construction of modular elements provided with connection means between each transversal element and the corresponding horizontal rod of the type with pin.
  • This characteristic allows the operators to alter the profile of said modular elements so that they can adapt to the level variations in the surface of the piece of land to be delimited.
  • connection of the modular elements with the post doesn't occur by means of a welding or univocal locking process but by means of a fixing system that makes it possible to choose the inclination of the same horizontal rods of the modular element with respect to the corresponding post.
  • this fixing system consists of one or more brackets welded to the post itself, each one of which is provided with one ore more openings that are connected via fixing means to the ends of the properly inclined modular elements.
  • hinge means are used to connect the same modular elements to the corresponding post.
  • each modular element is constrained in such a way as to maintain a given position of the two posts arranged at its ends.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks listed above.
  • the modular enclosure that is the subject of the invention is homogeneous and linear as a whole, like the enclosures of traditional type.
  • the above mentioned modular enclosure 1 comprises a plurality of modular elements 2, each one of which comprises at least two horizontal rods 3 connected to each other so that they are parallel by means of a plurality of transversal elements 4.
  • the modular elements 2 are provided with two horizontal rods 31 and 32.
  • the number of horizontal rods 3 may be higher than two.
  • each one of them comprises two plane elements 51 and 52 spaced from and parallel to each other, as clearly shown in Figure 3 .
  • each modular element 2 is interposed between one pair of upright elements 6 that in technical jargon are called "posts", as already explained above.
  • connection between each upright element 6 and the corresponding modular element 2 is obtained by means of one or more connection means 7.
  • each upright element 6 is provided with four connection means 7 arranged in pairs in a position opposite the upright element itself.
  • connection means 7 are aligned, always in pairs, according to the longitudinal direction of the upright element 6, so that each pair is associated with the same modular element 2.
  • each upright element 6 has more than two connection means 7 aligned according to its longitudinal direction and associated with the same modular element 2.
  • said connection means 7 may be arranged in pairs, not necessarily in an opposite position with respect to the upright element 6 itself.
  • each one of said connection means 7 comprises a first pivotal element 8 suited to define a vertical rotation axis Y.
  • said first pivotal element 8 is also associated with a second pivotal element 9 that defines a second rotation axis X that is orthogonal with respect to the first axis Y, just mentioned.
  • said first pivotal element 8 preferably but not necessarily comprises a first pin 81 with its longitudinal rotation axis Y substantially parallel to the main axis Z of the upright element 6.
  • the second pivotal element 9 is a second pin 91 rotatingly inserted in a hole 10 made in any intermediate position in the first pin 81, as shown in Figure 5 .
  • said second pin 91 has its rotation axis X orthogonal to the first axis Y.
  • bracket means 11 As regards the connection between the first pin 81 and the upright element 6, as shown in the preferred embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 5 , it is obtained using bracket means 11.
  • each one of the above mentioned bracket means 11 comprises a single supporting element 19 on which it is possible to identify a surface 191 that rests on the upright element 6.
  • the same supporting element 19 is provided with two openings 20 for the insertion of fixing means 15 in such a way as to allow it to be permanently associated with the upright element 6 itself.
  • the above mentioned fixing means 15 comprise a bolted screw 151.
  • the fixing means 15 may be of a different type, provided that they allow the bracket means 11 to be locked onto the upright element 6 and that they belong to the known art.
  • the openings 20 are preferably but not necessarily slots 201 that allow the bracket means 11 to be adjusted according to the longitudinal direction of the upright element 6.
  • each projecting surface 21 spaced from each other develop in a substantially orthogonal direction from said supporting element 19, each projecting surface 21 being provided with a through opening 22 suited to house and constrain one end 811 of the first pin 81.
  • each one of the above mentioned bracket means 11 may comprise two bracket elements 12, each having a substantially L-shaped profile.
  • Bracket elements 12 one of which is shown in Figure 8 , are provided with a first supporting surface 13 in which it is possible to identify a first through opening 14 for the insertion of fixing means 15 that allow said bracket element 12 to be successively locked onto said upright element 6.
  • bracket elements 12 it is possible to identify a further second surface 16, substantially orthogonal to the first surface 13, in which there is a second through opening 17 suited to house and constrain one end 811 of the first pin 81, like in the embodiment described above.
  • bracket elements 12 belonging to the same bracket means 11 are mutually arranged, as shown in Figure 6 , along the longitudinal direction of the upright element 6 at a distance that is not shorter than the height of the first pin 81, so as to limit the movement of the latter only to the rotation around its axis Y.
  • the first opening 14 for the insertion of the fixing means 15 is preferably but not necessarily a slot 141 that allows the adjustment of the position of each bracket element 12 along the longitudinal direction of the upright element 6.
  • bracket means 11 may be two brackets 18 fixed with a welding process so that they are orthogonal to the upright element 6 and parallel to each other.
  • the first pin 81 is provided, at the level of each one of its own ends 811, with locking means 23 that prevent it from coming out of the openings 17, 22 made for the purpose of constraining it.
  • a first end 811 is preferably but not necessarily provided with a contact surface consisting of a head 24 that is wider compared to the diameter of the first pin 81.
  • the opposite end is provided with a stop ring 25 inserted in a groove 26 made in the body of the above mentioned first pin 81.
  • the second pin 91 it must be analogously associated with and constrained to a corresponding horizontal rod 3 belonging to the modular element 2.
  • a contact surface is created at the level of one of its ends 911 and on the opposite end there is a stop ring inserted in a groove made in the body of said second pin 91.
  • each modular element 2 in the preferred embodiment of the invention they consist of two plane elements 51 and 52 spaced from and parallel to each other, having their ends connected at the level of opposite sides of the corresponding connection means 7 through the second pin 91, as shown in Figure 3 .
  • each horizontal rod 3 is a single prismatic element with mainly longitudinal development, provided at its ends with a projecting element that fits into a slot created in the first pin 81.
  • said first pin 81 is provided with the through hole 10 that is transversally coupled with the second pin 91 that in its turn allows the rotation of the horizontal rod 3 around its own axis X.
  • the horizontal rod 3, always comprising a single prismatic element is provided at each end with a fork that is arranged on opposite sides of the corresponding connection means 7 through the connection with said second pin 91.
  • Figure 10 shows a first example of a section of the enclosure 1 in which the two adjacent modular elements 2 are simultaneously positioned with different inclination and arranged on two planes incident on each other.
  • the invention achieves the object to provide a modular enclosure capable of adapting easily and in a universal way both to the level variation in the ground surface and to the variation in the angle of incidence between two adjacent modular elements.
  • the invention also achieves the object to provide a modular enclosure that can be easily put together by means of universal elements, with no need to provide individual modular elements for each specific situation.
