The object of the invention is therefore to provide the consumer with a To provide technical solution for a fence element, which is cheaper and easy and quick to assemble by the consumer. The solution results from the fact that the assembly device is formed from a plurality of reusable templates, each of which extends over a first level and a second level extend and are part of the fence element to be created during the assembly process, the templates being removable from the fence element after completion.

Description

The invention initially relates to an assembly device for creating a fence element for a privacy fence with fence slats arranged so as to overlap on both sides and offset, with an angle of 90 ° being present between the bars and the fence slats.

The marketing of fence elements for a privacy fence usually takes place in such a way that the completely created fence elements are manufactured at the factory and then have to be transported to the consumer via one or more trading levels.

In this context it has been found that the price per fence element for the end user is quite high due to the manufacturing and transport costs.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide the consumer with a technical solution for a fence element which is cheaper and can be installed quickly and easily by the consumer.

The solution to the problem results from the following features of claim 1:

• Assembly device for the creation of a fence element for a privacy fence with fence pickets arranged so as to overlap on both sides and offset, with an angle of 90 ° being present between the bolts and the fence pickets, characterized in that the assembly device is formed from a plurality of reusable templates, each of which is Extend over the first level and a second level and are part of the fence element to be created during the assembly process, the templates being removable from the fence element after completion.

The assembly device according to the invention has the significant advantage that it can be used to produce a fence element for a privacy fence in a quick, exact and reliable manner.

The assembly device according to the invention makes it possible to sell fence elements for a privacy fence in an advantageous manner as a kit, this kit being able to be sold significantly more cheaply due to lower transport costs and the lack of factory assembly costs.

According to the invention, the reusable templates, which each extend over a first and a second level, make it possible to manufacture the relatively complex visual protection fence in a simple and reliable manner.

An advantageous embodiment of the assembly device according to the invention is characterized in that the end faces of the fence element are each formed by two templates which define the outer contours of the fence element in the first plane for the end faces of the bars, with the end regions of the templates of the first and second levels facing each other each form an installation space closed on three sides for the middle bar and the inner surfaces of the second level of the templates serve as contact surfaces for a fence picket.

In a further embodiment, it is additionally possible that the protrusions of the fence pickets with respect to the outer bars and the spacing of the fence pickets from one another can be designed uniformly by spacer elements that can additionally be used during assembly.

These additional spacer elements ensure the dimensional accuracy of a fence element for a privacy fence in a very simple manner.

Furthermore, the invention also relates to a method of assembling a fence element for a privacy fence with fence slats arranged offset on bars and overlapping on both sides.

Further advantages of the invention emerge from the following description of two exemplary embodiments. Show it:

• 1 diagonal interior view of a privacy fence,
• 2a Interior view of a privacy fence according to 1 ,
• 2 B Top view of the privacy fence according to arrow II b in 2a ,
• 3 diagonal view of the templates and spacer elements necessary for the creation of a fence element,
• 4th - 12th Representation of the various work steps for creating a fence element for a privacy fence,
• 13th Representation of the dismantling of the templates from the created fence element and
• 14th Representation of a privacy fence with vertical fence elements.

In the drawings, a mounting device is designated as a whole with the reference number 10 designated, whereby this is formed from four templates 10a - 10d used for assembly ( 4th ).

In the 1 is a privacy fence formed from two fence elements 11 12th with post 13th shown in diagonal view. The privacy fence 12th can be made of wood, WPC (Wood-Plastic-Composite) or BPC (Bamboo-Plastic-Composite). In principle, the height and width of a fence element 11 can be varied.

One recognizes from the 2 in connection with the 2a and 2 B that the privacy fence 12th from a centrally arranged base frame 14th consisting of three bars 15th and fence slats arranged so as to overlap on both sides 16 is formed in the area of numerous attachment points P. are screwed together. In the 2a is the overlapping arrangement of the vertically arranged fence slats 16 easy to see (see dashed border of the fence pickets 16 ).

In the 3 are four templates 10a-10d and spacers 17th for the fence pickets 16 and a spacer 18th to define the excess length when creating a privacy fence 12th of the type Tytus.

The one in the 3 The templates 10a-10d shown each have one in one plane E1 arranged longitudinal element 19th with a length L. of 61 cm and a width B. of 6.8 cm and at the end of the longitudinal element 19th in the plane E2 transverse elements each rotated by 90 ° 20th with a length I. 11.7 cm and the same width B. 6.8 cm. The fat D. of longitudinal and transverse element 19th and 20th is a uniform 2.8 cm.

That for determining the excess length Ü necessary spacer 18th also has a length LA of 24.5 cm and also the aforementioned width B. as well as the thickness D. . Ultimately, the spacers point 17th a length La of 10 cm and also the same width B. and thickness D. on.

In the 4th - 12th is the assembly process of the fence element 11 of a privacy fence 12th of the type Tytus.

In the 4th you can see that on the assembly level ME a base frame as the first assembly step 14th of three bars 15th and four the jig 10 forming templates 10a- 10d is formed. The stencils 10c and 10d as well as 10a and 10b form at their ends facing one another through the longitudinal elements 19th each protruding transverse elements 20th an installation space R. to accommodate the middle bolt 15th out. The latch 15th is positioned so that it faces its face 21 flush with the side surface 22nd of the longitudinal element 19th concludes. In this position, the aforementioned templates 10a-10d are in the area of their transverse elements 20th first with the middle latch 15th screwed. The same thing happens at the other ends of the four templates 10a and 10d, so that a stable base frame is then created 14th from the four templates 10a-d and three bars 15th on the assembly level ME is arranged.

In the 5 you can see that in the second level E2 a picket 16 on end faces 23 of the transverse elements 20th is applied, with the spacer 18th the desired lower protrusion Ü is defined. The first picket can then be in this position 16 with the bolts 15th be screwed.

In the 6th and 7th it is shown that by applying the three spacers 17th for the fence pickets 16 as well as the use of the spacer 18th to determine the supernatant Ü then further pickets in a quick and precise manner 16 on the bolts 15th can be positioned and fastened.

the 8th ultimately shows that all the necessary pickets 16 are now attached to one side of the fence element 11.

This is the point in time when the fence element 11, which is being created, is rotated by 180 ° onto the assembly plane ME is placed ( 9 ).

Now the fastening of the staggered fence pickets begins 16 , being the first picket 16 (as in 10 shown) flush with the side surface 22nd of the templates 10a-10d. After screwing this fence picket 16 on the bolts 15th can add more pickets 16 each with the aid of the spacer elements 17th and 18th - as in the 11th and 12th shown - to be attached.

the 12th ultimately shows the complete assembly of the fence element 11, but the templates 10a-10d are still attached to the fence element 11.

In the 13th it can be seen that now the assembly device 10 forming templates 10a-10d are unscrewed from the finished fence element 11.

Ultimately, that shows 14th an alternative arrangement of the in 13th illustrated fence element 11. Here, the fence element 11 is positioned on edge so that the fence pickets 16 run horizontally, with several fence elements 11 on posts 13th to a privacy fence 12th are connected.

In this alternative arrangement, the only difference is that the fence pickets 16 have no roundings at either end.
