MODULAR GARDEN EDGING SYSTEM WITH INCORPORATED
LIGHTING
2019101155 30 Sep 2019
Field of invention
The present invention relates to a modular garden edging system having incorporated lighting and adapted to provide a continuous light effect.
Background of invention
Garden lighting allows an owner or occupier to enhance the aesthetics and accessibility of their garden by illuminating pathways and plants, thereby providing a pleasing visual effect at night.
Current garden lighting can be powered by various means, including solar power, battery power and mains-power. These may be in the form of spotlights, deck lights, bollards, etc.
Solar or battery powered lights are typically small in size such that they can be easily transported and installed without the need for an electrician or landscaper, unlike mains-powered electrical lighting.
Unfortunately, solar and battery powered lights typically do not provide strong illumination and therefore are not generally suited for illuminating pathways. Rather, solar and battery powered lights typically provide low decorative luminosity and are not adapted to provide a light effect that can clearly illuminate a boundary.
2019101155 30 Sep 2019
Alternatively, mains powered electrical lighting (often in the form of bollards) is used when greater illumination is required, such as when illuminating pathways. However, a typical installation requires an electrician to run power cables to each individual light that is positioned along the pathway. While this form of lighting can effectively light a pathway, the electricians’ costs can be appreciable, particularly when long runs of cable are required. The cost of mains-powered bollard lights can also be prohibitive.
Summary of invention
In accordance with a first embodiment of the invention there is provided a modular garden edging system with incorporated lighting, comprising: at least two edging panels adapted to be joined by an engagement member, each edging panel comprising: an elongate edging portion; and an elongate light emitting portion detachably coupled to an upper edge of the edging portion and configured to be electrically connected to a light source of an adjacent edging panel by way of a connector; and wherein when so joined, the light source of joined panels provides a continuous light effect.

Detailed description
Embodiments of the invention described herein relate to a modular garden edging system that advantageously both creates and illuminates a defined boundary, such as between a pathway and garden bed or a desired landscaped boundary edge. The system comprises at least two edging panels adapted to be joined by an engagement member. In use, one or more light sources are adapted to be located on or around an upper portion of the respective edging panels to provide a continuous light effect that illuminates a boundary.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the modular garden edging system with incorporated lighting (1). The edging system (1) is adapted to be retained partly in earth and comprises a first edging panel (2), in this example embodiment formed of metal. The first edging panel (2) has an upper edge (3) that projects perpendicularly from an upper portion of the longitudinal side wall (4), while a lower edge (9) projects perpendicularly from a bottom portion of the longitudinal side wall (4). A light source (5) in the form of a weatherproof LED light strip with an adhesive is adhered to the upper edge (3) within a channel (6). In this example embodiment, the channel (6) is U-shaped, although persons skilled in the art will appreciate that other channel shapes are within the purview of the invention.
Upper and lower engagement tabs (7, 8) extend respectively from the upper and lower edges (3, 9) of a first end (10) of the edging panel (2). As shown more particularly in Figure 2, the tabs (7, 8) step downwardly (in a longitudinal direction) from the respective edges (3, 9). Circular openings (11, 12) as illustrated in Figure 1
2019101155 30 Sep 2019 are defined in each of the tabs (7, 8). Circular openings (13, 14) are also defined in the upper and lower edges (3, 9) at a second end (15) of the panel (2).
Figure 3 depicts a perspective view of a series of edging panels (2) connected using stakes (18). More particularly, the first edging panel (2) is joined to a second edging panel (2a) which is in turned joined to a third edging panel (2b).
With further reference to Figure 4, the assembly between the first and second edging panel (2, 2a) is illustrated in greater detail. The first edging panel (2) is located adjacent to the second edging panel (2a) for later joining. The edges (3, 9) of the second end (15) of the second edging panel (2a) seat on the tabs (7, 8) of the first edging panel (2) such that the openings (11, 12, 16, 17) are aligned. A stake (18a) passes through the openings (11, 12, 16, 17) and is used for holding the panels (2, 2a) together such that the tabs (7, 8) seat below and retain the edging panels (2, 2a) in the earth.
When the first and second edging panels (2, 2a) are joined, the respective longitudinal side walls (4) sit flush with each other to create a continuous decorative face.
Further, the third edging panel (now shown in Figure 4) is similarly joined to the modular edging system (1) using another stake (18b). It will be understood that any number of additional panels could be added to the system, as required.
