Description

Device for edging lawn beds

The invention relates to a device for edging lawn beds using strips made of sheet metal, plastic, glass or ceramic.

The transition point between the lawn and plant beds or garden paths is usually not separated, so that within a short time the lawn sprouts into the paths or plantings. It is then very time-consuming to remove the overgrowths again and to keep the paths in a clean condition. Lawn edging is known in the form of Beteaoinfaflateinen or ^ corrugated strips made of plastic, but this embodiment makes little sense and in particular hardly brings any labor savings, since these edging stones and strips are overgrown by the grass and special scissors must be used to clean a Reach edging.

The invention has for its object to provide a way of edging lawn beds, through the one

essential work relief for ?. keeping clean the edge of the lawn is reached.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that at the top of the bar one outwards, i.e. away from the to be bordered bed directed angled rail is provided, and that further down another inward to the bed facing stand rail is arranged.

An advantageous embodiment is that the upper rail is arranged at an angle of about 30 ° to? 0 °, preferably 4-5 ° to the horizontal.

Furthermore, it is advantageous that eyelets for attaching holding rods are provided on the inside of the bar.

Another advantageous embodiment is that at one end of the bar on the outside and inside of the bar and the stand rail holding tabs attached are.

The outer flaps are advantageously longer than the inner tabs.

It is also advantageous that the tabs have a smaller width than the bar or stand rail and on leave a free space in the corner.

An advantageous embodiment provides that with angular Kinks of the bar in the upper 'rail and the stand rail triangular incisions are provided

Furthermore, it is advantageous that the upper rail is omitted in the case of arched enclosures and in the standing rail incisions are made at intervals.

Finally, after another suggestion, one goes to the Invention so that at the transition from the straight bar to the curved bar on the straight bar, the upper one Rail is beveled.

The invention has the advantage that with simple * Aids, such as a Messet or iiÄWi Spade the edging of the garden bed kept clean *! Will can and thus a significant workload for this work is achieved. Another advantage * consists in the fact that the border consists of a simple Τβ ± 1 § is composed and both for sharp Eöken all iticn Can be used on curved corners. It is included advantageous that the individual parts can be easily plugged together and with the help of holding rods iÄ? The floor can be attached to the floor excellent stability due to its shape and can therefore be made of particularly thin material.

The invention is explained in more detail in the following description with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. ^;

The embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3 is used to border straight sides, with the bar 1 at the top an outwardly angled rail has, while an inwardly directed stand rail 3 is provided below. The bending angle for the top Rail 2 to the horizontal can be between about 30 ° to, but advantageously an angle of 45 ° is chosen because it has been shown that with one such an angle the protruding grass at the edge 4 can be cut off most easily and conveniently. The stand rail 3 has the particular task of forming a support surface for the bar 1 so that it does not

sinks down into the ground. Also gives V] Ii? ^ this rail of the bar 1 the required stability, which is supported by the angled rail 2 will. The individual strips 1 are in certain lengths, for example two meters in front of and must therefore itoet * are continuously connected to each other. These are on one End of retaining tabs 5 »6 attached, these retaining tabs 5, 6 are attached both outside and inside to the strip 1, "for example by spot welding. These Lugs 5, 6 are also located on the stand rail 3 »whereby to simplify the assembly process dli outer flap 5 is made somewhat longer than the inner flap 6, so that the next following strip 1 can be attached to it and can simply insert it into the slot 7 Ui * Lugs 5, 6 on the strip 1 and also on the stand rail 'reach up to the corner 8 so that during installation in the slot 7 no sand or earth can accumulate and thereby assembly is made more difficult. To fasten the strip 1, eyelets 9 are provided on the inside, are inserted through the holding rods 10, which are driven into the ground. These eyelets 9 can also be used directly on the sheet of. Strip 1 be molded.

In Figures 4 to 7 there is a special guide shown for the bar 1 and that when this bar to ■ the Corners of the lawn should be used. Becoming this triangular incisions or 12 made at the corresponding points, in which case a biag line 13, starting from the tips of these triangles. The opening angle depends on the size of the bending angle of the incisions 11, 12 selected. FIG. 6 shows a so-called outer edge, with the lawn within the Rails 2 are located and, according to FIG. 7, a so-called inner edge in which the two legs are bent inward are.

Figures 8 to 11 show the modification of the bar Λ for arched borders, with this embodiment

form on the upper rail 2 is dispensed with. In the lower stand rail 3 there are angular incisions 14, which are present at regular intervals, with the rail then corresponding inwards (Fig. 10) or bent outwards (Fig. 11).
