Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a device and an arrangement for attaching a bird control net to a surface, for example a wall or a facade. The invention is used, for example, to keep birds hermetically away from possible sitting, sleeping and nesting places behind the net.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

It is common practice to attach bird deterrent nets indirectly to walls or facades by first attaching eyelets for cable passage using dowels in the wall or facade at a distance from one another and then passing a steel frame cable through the eyelets, which is tensioned using a cable tensioner is brought. The bird control net is then attached mesh by mesh to the frame rope using ring clamps, which is relatively laborious and time-consuming.

It is also known to attach a large number of individual hook attachment points to a surface in order to attach plastic or V2A nets to these. Since these fastening hooks should only be attached every 20-40 cm, this direct attachment is only suitable for smaller, lighter nets indoors without external weather influences. Since bird control nets usually have to be stretched taut during installation in order to minimize the destructive wind loads (especially outdoors), direct attachment is rarely used. If forces that occur on the overall network are only deflected at a few attachment points, the risk of destruction is high.

It would therefore be advantageous to provide an apparatus and arrangement for attaching a bird deterrent netting directly to a surface such as a wall or facade which is less labor and time consuming to use.

The inner surfaces 7 of each hook element 6 each enclose an open space 8, at the opening 9 of which a stop abutment 10 is formed on an inner surface 7. The stopper 10 narrows the opening 9 of the respective open space 8. The inner surface 7 of each hook element 6 forming the end 11 of the open space 8 is respectively engageable with a frame rope or edge mesh (not shown) of the bird control net (not shown). Items 6-11 mentioned in this paragraph are in 2 clearly shown. Each hook element 6 can have a material recess, so that two hook parts 15a, 15b are formed.

Furthermore, the support element 4 comprises the 1 The device 1 shown also has a plurality of support elements 13. The support elements 13 each have a contact surface 14. A support element 13 is provided in each case between two adjacent hook elements 6 . The frame rope or the edge mesh (not shown) is to be brought into contact with the bearing surface 14 of each of the support elements 13 .

Furthermore, the rail-shaped support element 4 can have an alignment element 18 in the form of a rail-shaped stop. The device 1 can be aligned by placing the alignment element 18 on a flat surface.
