Abstract

A shape suitable to be formed into a narrow funnel (1) is cut out of a sheet of metal, the edges are smoothed and the seam closed. The upper edge is provided with several cuts, resulting in small flaps (3) for joining the device (1) to the pipe (2). The flaps (3) can be fastened with a hose clip (4) or soldered to the pipe (2). When a synthetic material is used for the production of the funnel (1) metal flaps (3) can be screwed to the upper edge.

Description

Aufbau und InstallationConstruction and installation

Der 3/4-Trichter (1) kann bestehen aus dem Material: Zinkblech, Kupferblech, Edelstahlblech Kunststoff oder PlexiglasThe 3/4 funnel (1) can be made of the following material: zinc sheet, copper sheet, stainless steel sheet, plastic or plexiglass

Je nach Rohrgröße (2) wird das Material in entsprechender Größe ausgeschnitten, gestanzt oder gesägt. Bei Metall, wegen Verletzungsgefahr, wird der Rand umgebörtelt und in eine etwa halbrunde Form vorgefertigt. Am oberen Trichterende werden Einschnitte (3) mit der Blechschere oder dem Trennschleifer gemacht, damit man den zu engen Trichter zwischen den Einschnitten als Laschen zum befestigen am Rohr (2) verwenden kann. Die Laschen leicht nach außen biegen.Depending on the pipe size (2), the material is cut, punched or sawn to the appropriate size. In the case of metal, the edge is rolled over and prefabricated into a roughly semi-circular shape due to the risk of injury. Cuts (3) are made at the upper end of the funnel using tin snips or a cut-off grinder so that the too-narrow funnel between the cuts can be used as tabs to attach to the pipe (2). Bend the tabs slightly outwards.

Mit einer Rohrschelle (4) werden die Laschen (3) am Rohr (2) festgeklemmt und die über die Rohrschelle (4) herausragenden Laschen (3) gegen ein herausrutschen nach außen umgebogen. Oder die Laschen werden am Fallrohr angelötet.The tabs (3) are clamped to the pipe (2) using a pipe clamp (4) and the tabs (3) protruding beyond the pipe clamp (4) are bent outwards to prevent them from slipping out. Or the tabs are soldered to the downpipe.

Bei Kunststoff- oder Plexiglastrichtern (1) werden Metallaschen angeschraubt oder genietet, die dann, wie bei Metalltrichtern wie oben beschrieben, befestigt werden.For plastic or plexiglass funnels (1), metal tabs are screwed or riveted on and then secured as described above for metal funnels.

Gegenstand und ZweckSubject and purpose

Maßnahme zur Sicherung von Gebäuden vor Waschbären zum HochkletternMeasure to protect buildings from raccoons climbing up

Zum Hochklettern umklammert der Waschbär mit seinen Pfoten das Fallrohr und zieht bzw. drückt sich dann nach oben, bis er sicheren Halt an der Dachrinne gefunden hat.To climb up, the raccoon grasps the downpipe with its paws and then pulls or pushes itself upwards until it has found a secure hold on the gutter.

Von hieraus ist es ihm leicht auf das Dach und somit auf Dachboden oder gar in den Kamin zu gelangen, wo er gern seinen Nachwuchs aufzieht.From here it is easy for him to get onto the roof and thus into the attic or even into the chimney, where he likes to raise his offspring.

Um das zu verhindern, installiere ich am Regenfallrohr einen 3/4-Trichter in umgekehrter Form, also nach unten weit, den ich mittels einer Rohrschelle im oben engen Bereich am Rohr fest verschraube oder anlöte.To prevent this, I install a 3/4 funnel in an inverted form on the downpipe, i.e. wide at the bottom, which I screw or solder tightly to the pipe in the narrow area at the top using a pipe clamp.

Zieht sich also der Waschbär am Rohr hoch, gelangt er unweigerlich mit seinen Pfoten und seinen Kopf unter den Trichter.So if the raccoon pulls itself up on the pipe, it will inevitably end up with its paws and its head under the funnel.

Es gelingt ihm aber nicht, dieses Hinderniss zu überwinden, weil er seine Pfoten am Rohr belassen muß.However, he is unable to overcome this obstacle because he has to keep his paws on the pipe.

Der Bär gibt sein Vorhaben auf und versucht es an anderer Stelle.The bear gives up his plan and tries somewhere else.

Claims (1)

Die Schutzeinrichtung gegen das Hochklettern besteht aus einem ¾-trichterförmigen Blech, welches am Regenfallrohr angelötet oder mittels einer Rohrschelle am Rohr angeschraubt wird. The protective device against climbing up consists of a ¾-funnel-shaped sheet, which is soldered to the downpipe or screwed to the pipe using a pipe clamp.
