Description

The invention relates to a horde of a horde gate for silviculture in order to keep animals away from young forest plants.

To ensure that young forest plants can develop undamaged, an adapted wild population would be the simplest solution. Unfortunately, this is not the case everywhere, so there is often no other choice than to protect the plants with a fence (a large-scale protection system). This means that game is not locked in, but locked out.

A simple, flat protection system is, for example, the traveling fence (also called quick fence).

The main components of the traveling fence are the metal posts (or alternatively wooden posts) that are placed at intervals of a good 5 m, on which the knotted mesh is hung in eyelets. Wire pegs secure the braid folded downwards against being lifted up.

The most expensive alternative to a large-scale protection system is the horde gate.

Here, individual 3 to 4 m wide and 2 to 2.50 meter high hordes are assembled from commercially available roof slats (wooden slats made from untreated softwood) by connecting 7 to 10 horizontal slats with 3 to 4 vertical slats with nails or screws. This creates a fence element that is 3 to 4 meters long and, depending on the type of game, 1.50 to 2.50 meters high.

Each horde therefore has 3 to 4 vertical and 7 to 10 horizontal slats, with the distance between the cross slats increasing from bottom to top.

A horde gate is a wildlife protection fence made of wood, which is intended to protect forest crops from game and usually consists of fence elements that are prefabricated with nails or screws.

When it comes to the horde gate, it should be noted that the individual cross braces of the prefabricated hordes are only attached with a nail or a screw, as this is the only way to compensate for uneven terrain later when setting up the prefabricated hordes. And only after this compensation are the hordes finally stabilized with additional nails or screws.

On the specified fence route, the individual horde elements are connected to one another using a rope wire or cable ties. In addition, each horde has two supports that are alternately attached to the inside and outside.

A big advantage of this variant is that individual elements can be easily replaced or repaired if they are damaged. In addition, it is an ecologically renewable building material that blends well into the landscape due to its naturalness and can later rot in place without leaving any residue (except for nails or screws). Disposal costs or dismantling work are therefore eliminated.

Individual elements with gates make it easy to open the gate.

In addition, the horde gate is clearly visible to the game (unlike knotted netting) so that it cannot get caught.

However, the disadvantage of the horde gate is the intensive costs, which represent a need for financing that should not be underestimated compared to other types of fence due to the high material consumption and the associated high transport costs (high transport capacities required). Furthermore, the use of nails and/or screws poses an increased risk of injury to people and animals.

A particular disadvantage is the high amount of material used during construction and the resulting, in contrast to the traveling fence with knotted mesh, high transport volumes of the individual prefabricated hordes, which leads to a financing requirement of up to €15.43 per running meter (https://www. forstpraxis.de/vom-einzlaufen-und-aussperre/).

DE 529 427 A discloses a method for producing enclosures whose posts made of pipes are fastened in pipe sleeves and whose cross pipes are inserted through openings in the posts, wherein

• • first the pipe sleeves are inserted into the subsurface,
• • The vertical posts are loosely inserted into the sleeves and
• • the cross tubes and the round iron rods penetrating the latter are inserted into their smooth transverse bores,
• • whereupon the cavity in the posts and pipe sleeves is filled with cement or concrete,

to completely prepare all the parts that will be used in a workshop and attach them loosely to be able to bring it to the place of use, allowing easy and quick assembly to provide a fencing with completely rigidly connected parts.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is that pipe sleeves must first be inserted into the ground in order to later concrete the posts into them so that a fencing with completely rigidly connected parts can be created.

DE 79 07 010 U1 discloses a wooden fence made of vertical poles that can be anchored in the ground and horizontal poles that can be connected to the poles, the poles having holes at the height of the poles to be attached to them, the diameter of which corresponds to the diameter of the pole ends and into which the pole ends can be inserted when assembling the fence are, whereby several rods can be arranged at a distance one above the other between adjacent piles and the piles and rods are round timbers with smooth surfaces.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is that the posts must be firmly anchored in the ground so that the free-standing wooden fence can be formed.

GB 1 054 087 A discloses a method of making fences from wood in which tree trunks or branches are cut into suitable lengths to form fence posts which are not cut at right angles from the round but are used as is, and the posts are connected by parallel fence rails, which are pushed into tenon holes cut into the posts, with the fence posts being sharpened on one side and driven into the ground in order to firmly anchor the fence in the ground. whereby round squared timber fence posts with cut grooves are provided and are inserted into fence slats.

It can be provided that the parallel fence rails are connected at the points between the fence posts by divided semicircular posts and the lined-up fence rail sections are connected to the posts by means of a cut or butt joint.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is that the fence posts must be firmly anchored in the ground so that the free-standing wooden fence can stand securely and permanently.

The object of the present invention is to provide a horde gate for silviculture, which avoids the aforementioned disadvantages of the prior art, in particular has a low transport volume, is easily adaptable to uneven terrain and does not use non-ecologically renewable building materials and elements, such as in particular nails and / or screws made of metal.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by a horde gate according to claim 1.

Further favorable design options for the invention are specified in the subordinate patent claims.

According to the present technical solution, for the formation of a horde of a horde gate, the 7 to 10 horizontally extending slats are designed in the form of crossbars with any geometry of their cross section and the 3 to 4 vertical slats are designed as stands with recesses, the geometry of the recesses being related to the geometry of the Cross section of the cross bar corresponds and the recesses are dimensioned slightly larger than the cross section of the cross bar.

The crossbars and the stands are advantageously made of untreated softwood, particularly advantageously made of spruce or pine wood (e.g. in rod or board form), which is obtained during selection thinning as part of forest maintenance, with the crossbars having a round, rectangular or square cross section and the stands have recesses in the form of corresponding recesses in the form of round bores (or with a rectangular or square shape) with a cross section that is slightly larger than the cross section of the cross bars.

As part of this technical solution, there is also the fundamental possibility that the crossbars and the stands are made of metal, in particular light aluminum or low-rust aluminum alloys, thereby achieving longevity/reusability. With this solution, however, biodegradability must be foregone at the same time.

By inserting the crossbars into the recesses in the stands, a fence element is created in the form of a fence (without metal nails and screws), for example 3 to 4 meters long and, depending on the type of game, 1.50 to 2.50 meters high.

However, other length and height dimensions are also within the scope of this technical solution, with the length dimensions generally being larger than the height dimensions.

By inserting the crossbars into the recesses of the stands (plug connection), the horde gate is not prefabricated, i.e. not screwed or nailed, but can be transported into the forest in the form of the individual rod-shaped crossbars and struts and there in place without complications and without tools can be mounted using the plug connection.

During assembly, for example, untreated softwood can be used in the form of slats (cross bars) with a cross section of 30 mm × 50 mm, 4 or 5 meters long and boards (stands) 25 mm × 100 mm, depending on the type of game, 1.5 to 2.50 meters long, are used.

Recesses are made in the boards (stands) at certain intervals, which have been drilled or milled in the form of holes with a diameter of, for example, 60 mm, and through which the slats (crossbars) are pushed. At a distance of approx. 1.5 meters, the vertically positioned stands also serve as spacers for the crossbars.

In order to stabilize the resulting horde gate laterally, according to the invention, two boards of the same size (struts), which have a recess at their upper end, are pushed into the penultimate crossbar using this recess, so that the fence slopes inwards and is supported on the outside. The recess in the strut has a cross section which is slightly larger than the cross section of the cross bars (e.g. a hole of, for example, 60 mm in diameter for a cross bar with a diameter of 50 mm).

The specified lengths and dimensions can be chosen variably depending on the design and intended use and adapted to the existing conditions and location.

It makes sense to start with different crossbar lengths during assembly in order to achieve greater stability due to the changing impacts and the associated bonding effect.

• Der Transport zum / in den Wald ist einfacher und kostengünstiger, da nur ein geringes Transportvolumen benötigt wird. Vorgefertigte Elemente in Form von Horden gemäß dem Stand der Technik nehmen viel Platz ein, es wird viel „Luft“ transportiert und auch das Austragen bzw. der Aufbau im Wald ist mit den Einzelteilen in Form der Querriegel, Ständer und der Streben leichter, als mit sperrigen vorgefertigten Elementen in Form der bisher bekannten Horden. Hinzu kommt, dass im Gegensatz zu den Horden gemäß dem Stand der Technik eine leichte Anpassbarkeit an Geländeunebenheiten möglich ist, da keine Schraub- oder Nagelverbindungen in der Horde hergestellt werden.

In addition to the previously mentioned advantages of a previously known horde gate, this technical solution results in further advantages:

• Transporting to/from the forest is easier and more cost-effective as only a small transport volume is required. Prefabricated elements in the form of hordes according to the state of the art take up a lot of space, a lot of “air” is transported and the delivery or assembly in the forest is also easier with the individual parts in the form of crossbars, stands and struts than with bulky prefabricated elements in the form of the previously known hordes. In addition, in contrast to the hordes according to the prior art, easy adaptability to uneven terrain is possible because no screw or nail connections are made in the horde.

It is particularly advantageous to use pine or spruce wood as a material for the hordes, which is produced during the maintenance of the forest and does not have to be felled separately.

Gates are not required with this technical solution, as the fence can be easily opened and closed at all points using the plug-in connection.

In this technical solution for the shelves, no screws or nails are used, so that they disintegrate without leaving any residue, do not pose a burden on nature or the environment and therefore no tools are required for assembly.

The risk of injury from nails or screws lying around in the forest is also avoided.

Furthermore, the technical solution in the form of the “plug-in elements” creates only small points of contact with the wood, so that the wood can dry more quickly and is therefore exposed to a slower rotting process and, for this reason, the rack gate has a longer shelf life.

In the 1 Horde (11) of a horde gate (1) shown comprises horizontal slats in the form of crossbars (2) and vertical slats in the form of stands (3), the crossbars (2) being held parallel to one another by the stands (3), so that the shape of the horde (11) is designed, the stands (3) can be anchored in the ground are and the tray (11) can be supported laterally by struts (4).

The stands (3) have continuous recesses (31), the geometry of the recesses (31) being designed to correspond to the geometry of the cross section of the cross bars (2), the recesses (31) being dimensioned slightly larger than the cross section of the cross bars ( 2), and the cross bars (2) run through the recesses (31).

7 to 10 crossbars (2) run parallel to each other through the recesses (31) of 3 to 4 stands (3).

The geometry of the cross section of the crossbars (2), the stands (3) and the struts (4) is angular, round or oval.

The struts (4) have a continuous recess (41) near their first free end, the geometry of the recess (41) being designed to correspond to the geometry of the cross section of the cross bars (2), and the recess (41) being dimensioned somewhat larger are, as the cross section of the cross bars (2), and the cross bars (2) run through the recess (41).

For example, untreated softwood in the form of slats with a cross section of 30 mm × 50 mm and 4 or 5 meters long can be used as the crossbar (2).

Untreated softwood in the form of boards measuring 25 mm × 100 mm, 1.50 to 2.50 meters long, depending on the type of game, can also be used as a stand (3).

Recesses (31) in the form of holes with a diameter of, for example, 50 to 80 mm, advantageously 60 mm, are drilled or milled into the stands (3) at certain intervals, through which the crossbars (2) are pushed. At a distance of approx. 1.50 meters, the vertical stands (3) serve as spacers for the crossbars, whereby, as is known, the distance can be specified/adjusted depending on the application and wild type.

In order to stabilize the resulting horde gate (1) laterally, two boards of the same size are used as struts (4) approximately every 5 meters, with only one hole as a recess (41), for example with a diameter of approximately 60 mm The upper end (first free end) can be pushed into the penultimate cross bar in order to support the rack gate at angles α and β diagonally inwards and outwards.

When putting together the individual components of the rack gate (1), it makes sense to start with different crossbar lengths in order to achieve greater stability due to the changing impacts and the associated bonding effect.

The scope of the invention also includes not only locking out animals in order to protect young forest plants, but also locking up animals, such as sheep in a pasture.

All features presented in the description, the exemplary embodiments and the following claims can be essential to the invention both individually and in any combination with one another.
