FOIL AND FLEECE NAIL

hereinafter referred to as FV - Nagel,

Description of the invention

The invention relates to a nail that is used to securely hold covering foils and fleeces to the ground in fields and beds. The wind-proof fastening of foil and fleece strips to the soil is becoming increasingly important, because

Seeds and seedlings Vegetables, plants and fruits

must be protected from pests such as birds, larvae etc. as well as from frost damage to be protected.

The foil cover and its secure ground anchoring promotes a constant Microclimate in the earth's crust and causes early harvests of seasonal fruit and

-Vegetables and prevents crop failures due to pests.

The crop yields are larger and several harvests per year can be achieved become.

The covering films, which can be up to 250 m long and over 10 m wide, are currently being

Sandbags Stones

Piles of earth and car tires etc.

weighted down at their edges and held down. Wooden stakes are also driven through the foil into the ground.

Problem:

All these methodologies are cumbersome, unsafe and time-consuming.

A rational installation of covering foils requires safe, easy and reusable FV - nail which can be used with hand setting tool or automatically can be introduced into the soil.

Only one foil nail with various thickenings and claws on the shaft can accommodate the different requirements of the soil.

To meet the requirements of higher crop yields and the " film covering - To meet the needs of the agricultural sector, a simple, cheap, easy and quick to process FV nail.

The FV nail must be easily grasped by hand or machine using auxiliary equipment and can be picked up. This includes that the FV nails are in a Multiple magazine in the packaging container all in the same direction and be delivered aligned in a row. (Appendix 4)

The so-called chaotic delivery in boxes makes a quick and simple processing is impossible and takes up a lot of space.

Solution:

The FV nail I invented can be made either from

Plastic or

Metal or

Plastic-metal composite construction

consist.

The FV nail has an oversized head, which prevents the The head is protected by a foil nailed down over the head. slightly conical shaft. The shaft has 4 cross-shaped ribs, which are wedge-shaped reinforcements or claws.

Differently designed "chicanes" can also be attached to the shaft.

All chicanes must prevent the FV nail from being dislodged by wind pressure on prevent the film.

The head of the FV nail has one or two (2x180°) or four (4x90°)

U-shaped recess or slightly V-shaped recesses.

The recesses go from the edge of the head to the connection of the shaft at the

Only the U-shaped recess makes an economical, small Packaging size possible.

Only the U-shaped recess allows the magazine-like arrangement of the FV - nails, shaft to shaft stacked in a row. (Appendix 4)

Only through the U-shaped recess can the FV nails in 40s or 50s Magazines arranged in rows and directions in boxes of e.g. 160 or 200 pieces are offered. Larger magazines are also possible. The Precise alignment of the FV nails is the basic requirement for easy and fast processing using

&ogr; Hand setting device or

&ogr; machine, automatic setting.

The storage reduces the space required for transport and storage by more than 50%.

The FV nail I described is the only possible, profitable Design to make the covering film removal more economical and safer make.

The FV nail can be removed from the soil using an extraction device.

Benefits achieved:

Acceleration of the laying of the covering foil and protection of the foil against wind pressure. Verifiable fastening force by inserting nails with definable holding capacity over chicanes (items 5 and 6). The geometric design of chicanes (items 5 and 6) and all other conceivable versions can be adapted to the ground conditions, such as e.g.

&ogr; heavy soils (clay)

&ogr; light soils (sand).

The FV nails are immovable - which cannot be said of stones, sandbags, piles of sand or car tires.

Additional advantages:

Easy collection of nails,

Low weight,

Reusability,

Easy and space-saving to transport and store.

Also for construction sites (covering fresh concrete) or tents and camping suitable.

Claims (1)

Applicant: Kurt Schneider Goethestrasse 11 D - 73540 Heubach Phone: 07173 3041 Fax: 07173 3124 I hereby apply for Patent - Legal Protection or Utility model protection for the following described Foil and fleece nail hereinafter referred to as FV nail. PROTECTION CLAIMS 1.) FV nail based on the principle of a nail, consisting of head and shaft, characterized in that the Nail head has an extremely large diameter in relation to the shaft and whose head is at least one or even two (2x180°) or four (4x 90°) Has U- or V-shaped cutouts. The U- or V-opening goes all the way to the shaft. The smallest width of the U- or V-cutout is larger than the largest shaft diameter. A V-angle of greater than 10° -15° is not useful. 2.) FV nail according to protection claim characterized in that the Nail shaft a cross-shaped rib profile contains wedge profiles or hooks or claws or any other possible obstacles that prevent the foil nail from coming loose from the ground under the covering foil due to wind pressure. 3.) FV - nail according to protection claim 1 characterized in that it consists of Plastic or metal or plastic-metal composite can exist.
4. FV'- nail according to protection claim 1 characterized in that it can be lined up in a row, shaft to shaft, and thus stored in a magazine simply because of its recess in the head - a prerequisite for any automation. 5.) FV nail according to protection claim 1 characterized that it has two openings on the head which are used to insert the nail into the soil or, depending on the method and level of automation, to remove it.
