TITLE:
TEMPORARY FENCING 2-PART FOOT BLOCKS
,I
eq APPLICATION N 2007905040 SCOMPLETE APPLICATION FOR AN INNOVATION PATENT
TITLE:
TEMPORARY FENCING 2-PART FOOT BLOCKS o FIELD of INVENTION 0C 0 The invention relates to temporary fences and barriers supported by weighted footings to keep them upright.
BACKGROUND
Erected temporary fences or barriers are an inexpensive way to control access by the public or authorized personnel or contractors to building sites and events.
Typical components comprising of a modular fence (vertical and horizontal steel pipe sections with an infill of chain mesh) coupled end-to-end with clamps, twisted wire or bolts through flanges attached to the top and bottom of the fencing frame.
The uprights of the tubular steel frames are manufactured in various diameter sizes.
These locate in a weighted base perpendicular to the line of the fence to give the temporary fence stability in its upright position. The bases are usually a plain 36concrete rectangular block with an internal steel reinforcing rod and a rectangular socket to receive 2 tubular steel fencing uprights side-by-side.
OR A plastic injection moulded rectangular box-shaped block open at the base, filled with a reinforcing steel rod and concrete to give it weight OR 2 (non- identical) half plastic injection moulded rectangular boxes open at the base filled with a reinforcing steel rod and concrete stacked on top of each other, making a total weight of approximately OR A custom made water-filled container with sockets to receive the fencing uprights (usually The components described above are usually carried by truck to site and unloaded manually. This is where Occupational Health and Safety issues come to the fore.
The components are progressively laid out around the perimeter of the site being fenced. It is not uncommon to erect temporary fences with 50 to 100 modules. The lifting of 40Kg footing blocks into place without mechanical assistance is a hazard for fence construction operators.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention alleviates the ergonomic problem of multiple lifting of fence anchoring blocks by halving their weight and providing ergonomic lifting points to make the task easier and more convenient.
The present invention is ROTATIONALLY MOULDED and each part of 2 Parts of the fencing block is identical. One Part mirrors the other Part for ease of assembly.
The ROTATIONALLY MOULDED BLOCK can be filled with cement, concrete, granulated slag tailings, lead pellets, sand or re-cycled water. 18Kg in each moulding is achieved when the specific gravity of the filling material is 2.68Kg litre concrete).
This Temporary Fencing Foot System has been designed to use 2 interlocking ROTATIONALLY MOULDED FENCING BLOCKS. The single blocks of the 2- Part System cannot be used on their own to support the fencing modules.
The large scalloped recesses which run either side of the fencing block eliminate the necessity for internal steel reinforcing. The reciprocal shape of the outside recess creates a strengthening rib on the inside of the ROTATIONALLY MOULDED FENCING BLOCK.
The ROTATIONALLY MOULDED FENCING BLOCK is moulded in Low Density Polyethylene, either in virgin, or recycled material, with an additive against ultraviolet sunlight degradation mixed in with the polymer.
The bases of the tubular steel posts of the chain mesh module fit into the slots of the fencing block and are typically retained by clamps which keep the fence in line.
Should the terrain on which the TEMPORARY FENCING FOOT is placed be undulating or inclined to the horizontal, the slot in the moulding will accommodate this angular positioning change of the fence module.
The through holes: the slot into which the tubular legs of the fence fit the holes 025mm in which block securing pegs are fitted) form an integral part of the structural support within the rotationally moulded fencing block moulding.
The rotomoulded tooling can also be utilized for waste rubber and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) foot mouldings.
The stepped section and the male locating pin of the ROTATIONALLY MOULDED FENCING FOOT keep the assembly together. If the unit is lifted from end-to-end or side-to-side, the assembly will not fall apart. The only way to separate the halves, is to disengage them with a vertical lift. This ensures the integrity of the ROTATIONALLY MOULDED FENCING FOOT, even before the fencing modules are fitted.
The Temporary Fencing 2-Part Block is ROTOMOULDED, NOT INJECTION
MOULDED.

The front side of the perspective drawing shows the recesses for manually handling or assembling the 2 identical halves.

The female hole in the middle is the receiving point for the male locating pin.

The 2 mouldings and are locked together. Their combined weight is approximately 36-40 Kg. This total assembly is repeated around the perimeter of the area being fenced off in the configuration shown (FIGURE 0).
A common fixing clamp is used to secure the top and bottom of the fencing module. The fencing module is not part of the invention claimed. The rotationally moulded foot is the area of focus only.
The recessed slots on each side of the moulding are used by both hands when lowering top moulding onto bottom moulding The location pin will locate in moulding and location pin in moulding will locate in female hole Holes and are used to drive steel pins through to secure the assembled mouldings and to the ground.
Opening is the hole through which the Rotomoulding is filled with a weighted material concrete, etc. In the case of concrete, the opening will be left open. In the case of loose granular weighted matter, it will be closed off with a plastic threaded bung to retain the material inside the ROTOMOULDED TEMPORARY FENCING FOOT.
The cross-section of the fencing foot shows the enclosed area in which the weighted material is stored. The male location pin becomes a very rigid pin when the Rotomould is filled with concrete@.
The through hole slot for the fencing steel tube uprights.
The female blind hole for receiving the male pin from the top moulding The longitudinal strengthening rib eliminates the necessity for adding reinforcing bars as is done in the present foot blocks in the market place.
Recessed slots is for fingers to lift the 2 blocks )and onto each other.
When you stand the moulding vertically, the Rotomould can be filled with material through opening (left open or closed off with a long screw bung).
When vertical step 0 and pin are assembled to Rotomoulding they become locked as an integral unit.
When Rotomoulding (mirror image) and come together, lifting from side-to-side, front-to-back will not separate the 2 Rotomoulds. A vertical lift will only separate these 2 mouldings.
When pin fits into mirror image hole and pin fits into hole (mirror image) the assembly becomes inseparable unless pulled apart in a vertical motion in the opposite direction to the arrows G and Rotomoulds @and are identical in every respect.
