- FIG. 19 is an alternative to the anchor shown in FIG. 11.
- Reference will first be made to FIGS.10 to 13 which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the walling assembly in accordance with the present invention for mounting on a floor. In this embodiment the walling assembly includes a plurality of hoarding
modules 60 and anchor means in the form of afoot 75 for anchoringlower modules 60 to the floor. In a manner to be described subsequently,anchor feet 75 can also anchorupper modules 60 to the ceiling. - Hoarding
module 60 is made from a light weight resilient tough plastic such as PVC and is in the form of a rectangular panel 61 occupying a 600 mm vertical×1200 mm horizontal space when assembled. Panel 61 is reinforced by cross ribbing 62 in known manner and has reinforcing webs at theedges 63, 64 which in use will constitute the upper and lower sides respectively ofmodule 60. For convenience the sides oredges 63, 64 will be called the horizontal edges of the module with the sides or edges, seen in FIG. 10 as having sleeve set 69, 70 andsleeve 71 respectively, will be referred to as the vertical edges of the module. - Two sets of
sleeves module 60 with thesleeves 67 extending substantially to the upperhorizontal edge 63 and with thesleeves 68 extending substantially to the lower horizontal edge 64.Lower sleeves 68 have cut-out portions 72 to accommodate bracinggusset 78 of foot 75 (to be subsequently described with reference to FIG. 11). - Another set of
sleeves module 60 and is similar to thesets module 60 withsleeve 69 extending substantially to the upperhorizontal edge 63 and with thesleeve 70 extending substantially to the lower horizontal edge 64. Anothersleeve 71 is located along the other vertical edge ofmodule 60 and has a longitudinally extending axis parallel to the vertical side.Sleeve 71 is positioned along the other vertical side edge ofmodule 60 such that when twomodules 60 horizontally adjoin each other,sleeve 71 of one of the modules is received in the space betweensleeves Sleeve 71 has a cutout portion 72 to facilitate insertion ofpin 80. - It will be appreciated that
sleeve 71 similarly fits closely in the space between sleeve sets 67, 68 such that when a number of modules are connected together to form a hoarding in a manner subsequently to be explained, another module 60 (or a number of vertically connected modules) can abut the hoarding at right angles and be connected thereto via a sleeve set(s) 67, 68 bypins 80 and thus form a bracing for the hoarding. - Sleeve sets67, 68 and 69, 70 and
sleeve 71 are of similar internal diameter and closely receive pins 80 for connecting together adjoining modules. - Pins80 are of two lengths to facilitate interconnection of the module illustrated in FIG. 10. A shorter pin extends upwardly from the upper end of cutout 72 to a point approximately midway in
sleeve 69 of the horizontally adjoining module. This shorter pin is retained in position by means of tab 81 (see FIG. 12). Whenpin 80 is rotated,tab 81 engages in a slot (not shown) in the upper portion ofsleeve 71 above cutout 72. Thelonger pin 80 has a length slightly less than the length of cutout 72 in which it is inserted. It is located downwardly and extends from the lower lip of cutout 72 (on whichtab 81 is arrested) downward throughsleeve 70 of the horizontally adjoining module and down to a point approximately midway insleeve 69 of the module vertically below the horizontally adjoining module. - As can be seen in FIG. 11, an
anchor 75 has afoot 76 and a cylindrical pin orleg 77 upstanding therefrom and braced thereto by bracinggusset 78. As can be seen in FIG. 12,cylindrical pin 80 has a tab orcollar 81 at one end thereof for supporting the pin on the sleeves to prevent the pins falling through the sleeves under the influence of gravity. The external diameter ofpins 80 is slightly less than the internal diameter of the sleeves so that the pins are closely received in the sleeves. - In use in this embodiment, the method of the present invention assembles a wall or hoarding by first positioning a pair of
anchors 75 withfeet 76 on the floor andlegs 77 upstanding therefrom. Ahoarding module 60 is then positioned overlegs 77 withlower sleeves 68 being closely received overlegs 77. Further pairs of anchors can be positioned on either side of the central module and further modules positioned over the legs in like manner. The horizontally adjoining modules are then connected to each other by aligningsleeves 71 within the space between respective sleeve sets 69, 70 and sliding apin 80 therein to hingedly connect together the modules. A second vertical layer of adjoining modules can then be connected by placing further modules above the lower row with sleeve sets 67, 68 in alignment and slidingpins 80 therein to connect and brace the two rows of modules. Further rows and columns of modules can then be connected in like manner to construct a hoarding in a manner substantially as illustrated in FIGS. 3, 6 and 9 in relation to three other embodiments. - It should be noted that once the lowermost modules are located on
feet 75, it is not necessary forsleeves pins 80, by means of sleeve set 69, 70 andsleeve 71. - It will be appreciated that a weight such as a block of concrete or the like can be placed on
foot 76 to support the hoarding. Alternatively, instead of usingpins 80, a series of coupled steel posts (not shown) can be utilised with successive vertical rows of modules being fed over the posts, and with further posts being added as required. A line of the thus coupled posts forms an extendable stanchion, the two ends of which can be urged in known manner in opposite directions to bear against a floor and a ceiling, with the thus compressed stanchion supporting the hoarding. - Alternatively, a
ceiling jack 85 as illustrated in FIG. 14 can be utilised. This consists of a pair of threadedtelescopic pipes 86, 87 connected by a threaded clamping collar 88 which when rotated caused the pipes to longitudinally extend relative to each other. With the end of one pipe bearing on a sleeve (or onsupport 97 as seen in FIG. 15), rotation of clamping collar 88 causes the opposite end of the other pipe to bear against the ceiling. - Alternatively a hoarding assembled from a number of modules can be supported by or braced against a scaffolding by means of scaffold mount90 seen in FIG. 13. Mount 90 has a
collar portion 91 pivotally attached tomodule connector portion 92 by an articulated joint 93.Collar 91 can be clipped over scaffolding to which it is attached by pins (not shown) throughapertures 95 in known manner.Module connector portion 92 has asplined keyway 94 which closely slides over T-shapedcomplimentary supports 65, 66 onmodule 60. - As seen in FIG. 10, two sets of vertically extending
supports 65 and two sets of horizontally extending supports 66 are located adjacent sleeve sets 67, 68 towards each vertical edge ofmodule 60. When a hoarding has been assembled as described above, a number of mounts 90 can be slid over respective ones ofsupports 65 and 66, with collars then being affixed to vertical and horizontal scaffolding members to support and brace the hoarding. - Another method of mounting the hoarding to a scaffolding is illustrated in FIG. 16 wherein
mount 56 has a pair of orthogonalcylindrical sleeves sleeve 57 being similarly sized to pin 80 andsleeve 58 having an internal diameter sufficient to closely receive a scaffolding pipe. Thus pin-sleeve 57 can be mounted in alower sleeve 68 withsleeve 58 resting on the upper end ofsleeve 68. When the hoarding is assembled a longitudinally extending length of scaffolding pipe or the like can be run through a number ofsleeves 58 and be connected to a scaffolding in known manner to brace the hording horizontally. - The above arrangement in which a horizontal bar or pipe can be attached to a hoarding can be used to mount a sliding door or window in a hoarding in which a number of modules have been removed to create a doorway or window.
- An arrangement for mounting an adjoining module about a horizontal axis is illustrated in FIG. 15 wherein a pair of angle supports or
shelves sleeve 96. The distance between the outer vertically inclined arm of angle supports 97, 98 and the respective edges ofsleeve 96 is such thatsleeve 71 is closely received therein in the same manner as it is received betweensleeves - It will also be appreciated that the uppermost row of modules can be cut to size so that a hoarding assembled from modules in accordance with the present invention is infinitely variable in height to fit existing floor to ceiling heights.
- In this embodiment it will be apparent that hoarding
module 60 cooperates with other modules for erecting a hoarding.Module 60 includes a substantially rectangular panel member 61; first positioning means in the form of a pair of sleeve sets 67, 68 which positionsmodule 60 to adjoin at least one other module along at least one of the module's horizontal sides, and second positioning means in the form of a sleeve set 69, 70 andsleeve 71 which positions the module to adjoin at least one other module along at least one of the module's vertical sides.Module 60 cooperates with anchor means 75 fornon-fixedly anchoring module 60 to a floor. The first positioning means 67, 68 cooperates with joining means in the form ofcylindrical pins 80 to brace vertically adjoining modules in a hoarding. The first positioning means 67, 68 also cooperates with anchor means 75 for anchoring the braced vertically adjoining modules to the floor. The second positioning means 69, 70 and 71 cooperates with joining means in the form ofpins 80 to hinge together adjoining horizontal modules in a hoarding. - It will also be apparent that in this
embodiment hoarding module 60, which cooperates with other modules for erecting a hoarding, includes a substantially rectangular hoarding module 61 and positioning means in the form of a sleeve set 69, 70 andsleeve 71 which positions the module to adjoin at least one other module along at least one vertical side thereof. Positioning means 69, 70 and 71 cooperate with joining means in the form ofpins 80 to hinge together horizontally adjoining modules in a hoarding. - In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 17 wherein like integers are numbered correspondingly to those described above,
module 100 has a substantially rectangular panel member 101, first positioning means 67, 68 which positions the module to adjoin at least one other module along at least one of a first pair of opposite (horizontal) sides of the substantially rectangular panel member, and second positioning means in the form of a second set ofsleeves third sleeve 71 which position the module to adjoin at least one other module along at least one of the other pair of opposite (vertical) sides of the substantially rectangular panel member. The second positioning means 69, 70, 71 cooperate with joining means (not shown in FIG. 17) to hinge together adjoining modules in a hoarding. - In this embodiment fourth receiving means in the form of a fourth set of
sleeves sleeves sleeves - The anchor is received in
sleeve 103, rather than insleeve 68 as in the embodiments of FIGS. 10 and 15. Other variations in this embodiment are thatsleeve 71 is centered in the end of the panel andsleeves hand grip 105 is provided,sleeves apertures 107 receive thebarb 108 ofresilient tongue 109 to lock in the T support brace 110 (see FIG. 18). - FIG. 19 illustrates an alternative anchor in which the foot is extended and carries a threaded shaft111 to allow for panel height adjustment by adjustment of a nut (not shown).
- It will be appreciated that the hoarding system can be constructed of modular panels connected to form a protective barrier to varying heights. Each modular panel attaches to the adjacent panel, forming a continuous barrier. Desired heights are achieved by stacking panels on top of each other, held together by male and female connector pins and sockets. Stability for each stacked, modular panel is provided by water ballast within the base panel, by the weighted foot arrangement, by the expandable stanchion arrangement, by the ceiling jack arrangement, by the pin and sleeve arrangement or by the attachment to scaffolding.
- As can be seen in FIGS.1 to 3 which illustrate a first embodiment of the walling assembly in accordance with the present invention for mounting on a floor, the walling assembly includes a plurality of
universal hoarding modules 120 and anchor means in the form of awater tank 130 for anchoringlower modules 120 on the floor. - The hoarding
modules 120 have a substantially rectangular panel 123 and box-shapedstructural members spigots - Spigots124, 125 are fixed in the lower ends of box-shaped
