Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for creating a solid and reversible anchor point on rigid fencing, designed to support lightweight objects weighing less than 10 kg. This device consists of two connecting half-pieces (1), assembled by tightening with a screw (5) and a nut (6), forming an anchor point suitable for the mesh of standard rigid fencing (7). The half-pieces (1) incorporate recesses (3) for the passage of the mesh, allowing compatibility with fencing of various sizes and shapes. The nut recess (4) facilitates assembly and disassembly, making the device reusable without damaging the fencing. It can be used to secure planters, outdoor decorations, signs, or lighting accessories, as well as in temporary installations.The invention offers a simple, durable, and versatile solution for transforming rigid wire mesh into functional supports, addressing a need not currently met in the market.

Description

Title of the invention: Device for creating an anchor point on rigid wire mesh for lightweight objects

[0001] The invention relates to a device for easily creating a solid and reversible anchor point on rigid wire mesh, intended to support lightweight objects (less than 10 kg), such as decorations, hanging planters, lighting accessories, or signage. This device offers a simple, durable solution compatible with rigid metal mesh.

[0002] The device consists of two elements which, by tightening with metric screws, create an anchor point on rigid fencing. This device is designed to adapt to the different mesh sizes of standard rigid fencing.

[0003] The attachment point created allows, by its adaptability to different sizes and shapes of wire mesh and its reversibility, dismantling or reuse without leaving traces on the support.

[0004] Possible applications: gardening (fixing pots or trellises), outdoor decoration (garlands, signs), signage (small posters, directions), temporary fixing for events or work.

[0005] This innovative device meets a need not met on the current market, offering an efficient and versatile solution for the use of rigid wire mesh as functional supports.

[0006] Nomenclature: 1. Half-piece for connecting to the wire mesh 2. Drilling diameter 6mm 3. Provision for wire mesh passage 4. M5 nut recess 5. M5 countersunk head screw 6. M5 Nut 7. Standard rigid mesh fencing Scope of the invention

[0007] The present invention relates to the field of fastening and anchoring systems, more particularly to devices for adding attachment points to rigid wire mesh structures. It is particularly applicable to the gardening, outdoor decoration, signage, and temporary installation sectors, where it is necessary to reversibly attach lightweight objects (weighing less than 10 kg) to rigid metal grids.

[0008] The invention meets a need for simplicity, compatibility with different types of standard meshes, and respect for the integrity of the supports, thus offering a versatile and durable solution for the functional arrangement of wire mesh surfaces.

[0009] Brief description of the drawings

[0010] Notwithstanding any other form that may fall within the scope of the present invention, preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

[0011] Fig. 1 shows a top view of the connection piece to the grid according to one embodiment;

[0012] Fig. 2 shows a view from below of the connecting piece to the grid according to one embodiment;

[0013] Fig. 3 shows in cross-section the assembly of the device for creating an anchor point on rigid wire mesh;

[0014] Fig. 4 illustrates the device for creating an anchor point in position on a standard wire mesh. Description of the implementation methods

[0015] The device for creating an anchor point on wire mesh comprises an assembly of two half-pieces for connecting to the wire mesh (1). Assembling these two half-pieces (1) by tightening them with the screw (5) and its nut (6) on the wire mesh (7) ensures a solid anchor on the latter.

[0016] By its design and its provisions for the passage of the mesh of the wire mesh (3), the half-pieces connecting to the wire mesh (1) adapt to the majority of standard rigid wire meshes (7).

[0017] The nut recess (4) allows for easy assembly of the complete device.

Claims

Demands

1. Device for creating an anchor point on a rigid wire mesh, comprising two connecting half-pieces (1) configured to surround a section of rigid wire mesh (7), a screw (5) and a nut (6) allowing the assembly by tightening of the two half-pieces (1), characterized in that the half-pieces (1) incorporate reservations (3) for the passage of the mesh of the wire mesh, allowing their adaptation to different types of standard rigid wire mesh.

2. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the half-pieces (1) include a recess for nut (4) facilitating the assembly and retention of the device on the rigid mesh.

3. Use of the device for creating an anchor point on a rigid wire mesh according to any one of the preceding claims for fixing decorations, garlands, hanging planters, pots, trellises, lighting accessories, signage elements, small posters, or temporary accessories for events or works.
