Abstract

basket for receiving stone fillings, especially bulk solids or masonry basket or wire ballast box, characterized in that the basket (1) is formed from rolled or unstretched expanded metal (2) is.

Description

The Invention relates to a basket for receiving stone fillings, especially bulk solids or brick wall or wire ballast box.

such, also called "gabions", with Stones filled wire baskets are predominantly of Landscape architects for the design of outdoor facilities and in the road and road construction to the construction of ramparts, for the construction of visual or noise protection systems, for retaining walls and for supporting of slopes used. More and more, they also find the garden design diverse Fashion application.

To Until now, highly elastic mild steel wires have been spot-welded in their manufacture. The Gabions consist of bottom part, side part, partitions, back, Front wall and lid, which are assembled to the desired degree. To one Bulging of the container To prevent side and front and back walls are by spacer struts with each other braced, the resulting cuboid container is covered with a lid closed to the necessary stability sure.

such Gabions are relatively elaborate and expensive and have a rigid structure and a relatively large mesh size on. this leads to that they are only filled with special, larger and more expensive stones can.

task The invention is therefore an inexpensive, flexible, with standard bulk to be filled solution to accomplish.

These Task is according to the invention solved by that the basket formed of rolled or unstretched expanded metal is. Such expanded metal mesh is relatively inexpensive to manufacture and has a smaller mesh size, so that produced gabions also with standard commercial grain sizes filled can be. Also, neither a bottom part, nor necessarily a lid required to produce the necessary stability.

Of the Basket is advantageously formed in two parts. Two mutually aligned, form concave curved basket parts, each connected to each other at their ends, one in the plan elliptical to round gabion, of which several can be connected together to form a wall or row.

Around to achieve a predefined bulge, pull and spreader bars are inside the gabion.

Also the expanded metal can have upstands at the top and / or bottom, for stability to increase and to avoid injury hazards.

The Production of such gabions leads to a price reduction compared to 50-70% the known wire baskets.

in addition the further price savings comes through the cheaper bulk material, because only standard and no special grain sizes are needed.

Further Savings result from the unnecessary ground and Cover. However, if an upper degree is desired, exist in this respect numerous variations. So, for example elliptical or circular cut wood panels are used so that the gabion can also be used as a seat.

As well The gabion can also be planted on the deck side.

Each two mutually corresponding expanded mesh are advantageous already factory-connected, in particular by means of Metal or plastic clips.

Especially For training mobile gabions, a bottom plate can be provided be advantageous, which is also equipped with rollers. For staggered stacking several gabions, on the other hand, it is advisable, the basket on the bottom side to be provided with a grid.

Finally, in the basket also different and / or different colored films and / or flexible Plexiglas panes and the like can be used to to achieve interesting color effects. Due to the low Mesh size of the expanded mesh used, these films or plexiglass discs extremely thin and thus be formed cost-saving, without squeezing or bulge.

Further The gabion can also be divided by at least one middle wall be, especially in the longitudinal direction. This is particularly useful in the formation of embankments. In this Case only one show side with more expensive stones is needed while in the behind, the embankment facing, divided area cheap bulk material can be used. The department can in particular by means of a moisture-permeable fleece take place, which is advantageously designed in two parts to with the pulling or spreading rods not to go into the enclosure.

The invention is described below with reference to Drawing explained in more detail by way of example. This shows in:

1 a view of an inventive, two-piece basket made of expanded metal;

2 a view of a basket gem. 1 ,

A general with 1 designated basket of rolled or unstretched expanded metal 2 has two parts 6 . 7 on. These are useful factory already by means of brackets 8th interconnected, and are set up by means of a tie rod 4 and / or a spreader bar 5 brought into a substantially oval, but maximum round shape. At the upper and lower edge of the expanded metal is flanged or has Umkantungen 3 in order, in particular, to avoid the risk of injury and to be able to put in or lay on any floors. The individual parts, ie the rolled or non-rolled expanded metal mesh 2 , as well as the bars 4 . 5 can be folded flat and thus transported extremely space and cost-saving. At the place of use, they are brought into the desired shape in an extremely simple manner, with correspondingly corresponding, correspondingly elliptical to circular shaped gabions resulting tensile and Spreitzstäbe of appropriate length are used.

Due to the already factory made connection of both parts 6 . 7 , in particular by metal or plastic clips 8th , expensive screw connections or connections are unnecessary during assembly on site. The gabion brought into the desired oval or round shape 1 can depending on the desired application still with a bottom plate not shown or a grid, if necessary. Be provided after filling with appropriate stones with a cover plate. If necessary. In particular, colored foils and / or bendable Plexiglas panes against the expanded metal mesh can be filled in before filling 2 be used behind it, ie into the gabion interior, then the riprap, which takes the slides or discs from the inside against the expanded metal mesh 2 presses. Likewise, a central division can be used, so that different material heaps are possible.

of course is the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments. Further embodiments are possible, without leaving the basic idea.
