Abstract
Modular fence, consisting of wire-mesh panels (1) and tubular fixing posts (3), which are anchored at the bottom into the ground or into a supporting base. The panels (1) have horizontally shaped features (6) of a depth approximately equal to the diameter or width of the posts (6). These posts are fitted snugly between the rods of the shaped features and of the non-shaped regions, between two consecutive vertical rods.
Claims18
A modular fence comprising a plurality of wire mesh panels and a plurality of support posts attached to the panels;
- the posts being installable on a supporting base, the support posts having a width or diameter;
- each panel comprising a plurality of vertical rods spaced apart from one another and a plurality of horizontal rods spaced apart from one another, the horizontal rods intersecting the vertical rods, at least two of the vertical rods on each of the panels being separated by a distance approximately equal to the diameter or width of a respective one of the support posts which is positioned between the at least two vertical rods;
- the panel having a profile such that there is a non-depressed section of the panel and at least one horizontally extending inward depression of the panel;
- the at least two vertical rods and the support post between them extending in the vertical direction transverse to the horizontally extending depression of the panel and the vertical rods and the support post being of such length that the support post extends between the vertical rods and over a vertical distance to extend past the non-depressed section and the depression of the panel;
- a cap shaped cover over at least one of the support posts and the cover being movable with respect to the at least one post so that in one position of the cover, the cover on the post engages one of the horizontal rods of the panel for coupling the panel to the post;
- wherein the cover is attachable to the one horizontal rod to rotate with respect to the one horizontal rod onto and off the post.

- the at least two vertical rods and the support post between them extending in the vertical direction transverse to the horizontally extending depression of the panel and the vertical rods and the support post being of such length that the support post extends between the vertical rods and over a vertical distance to extend past the non-depressed section and the depression of the panel;
- wherein there are a plurality of the horizontally extending shaped depressions of each of the panels;
- at least two of the panels have lateral ends and a lateral end of each of the two panels is arranged adjacent the lateral end of the other adjacent panel, the lateral ends of the panels having an extreme vertical rod at the lateral end thereof adjacent to the lateral end of the other panel;
- a respective one of the support posts between the at least two vertical rods at each lateral end of each of the at least two panels;
- a respective cover at each of the support posts at the adjacent ends of two panels;
- each cover having a respective lateral arm, which extends toward the adjacent panel and which terminates in an extreme stretch, a through orifice through the stretch of each lateral arm;
- the extreme stretches of the covers at adjacent panel ends being superimposable with the respective orifices lined up;
- and
- a joining element that may act as an axis of articulation between the two caps joining the stretches at the adjacent panel ends at the respective orifices.
