Description

BeschreibungDescription

Es sind elektrische Schneckenzäune bekannt, die den Schneckenfrass an Pflanzen verhindern sollen. Dabei handelt es sich um mechanische Barrieren, wie Kunststoffbänder, Wellenzäune oder metallische Grundplatten, die teilweise in den Boden eingelassen sind. An diesen mechanischen Barrieren sind stromführende Drähte angebracht, die ein Überwinden dieser Barrieren durch Schnecken verhindern soll. Dies gelingt zwar, doch stellen diese Schneckenbarrieren in ihrer zaunähnlichen Ausgestaltung eine grosse Behinderung bei der Gartenarbeit dar.Electric snail fences are known to prevent snails from eating plants. These are mechanical barriers such as plastic bands, corrugated fences or metal base plates that are partially embedded in the ground. Electric wires are attached to these mechanical barriers to prevent snails from overcoming these barriers. This is successful, but these snail barriers, with their fence-like design, represent a major hindrance to gardening.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde einen elektrischen Schneckenzaun in der Art zu gestalten, dass auf eine mechanische Barriere verzichtet werden kann und das deshalb nach erfolgter Anbringung des Schneckenzauns keine Beeinträchtigungen bei der Gartenarbeit auftritt.The present invention is based on the object of designing an electric snail fence in such a way that a mechanical barrier can be dispensed with and that, therefore, after the snail fence has been installed, there are no impairments to gardening work.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss mit einem Schneckenzaun gelöst, bestehend aus einer Profilleiste, vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, in die zwei stromführende Leiter eingebracht sind. Durch die stromführenden Leiter werden die Schnecken von den Pflanzen innerhalb des Schneckenzaunes abgehalten.The problem is solved according to the invention with a snail fence, consisting of a profile strip, preferably made of plastic, into which two current-carrying conductors are inserted. The current-carrying conductors keep the snails away from the plants inside the snail fence.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand FIG.1 erläutert. FIG.1 zeigt eine schematische Ansicht eines Ausführungsbeispiels des Schneckenzaunes.An embodiment of the invention is explained with reference to FIG.1. FIG.1 shows a schematic view of an embodiment of the snail fence.

Der Schneckenzaun besteht aus einer Profilleiste (1) mit einer inneren Schutzfläche (2) und einer äusseren Schutzfläche (3) so wie einer Erhöhung (6) . In die Erhöhung (6) sind im äusseren Bereich zwei Nuten eingelassen, in welche die Stromführenden Leiter (4) eingeklemmt sind. Das Unterkriechen des Schneckenzaunes wird durch die Profilwand (5) , welche vollständig in den Boden eingelassen ist, verhindert. Die Schutzflächen (2,3) verhindern ungewollte Kurzschlüsse durch überlappendes nasses Gras o.a. und ermöglichen eine Bearbeitung des angrenzenden Bodens (z.B. durch Rasenmähen, Hacken ) ohne Beschädigungsgefahr für die stromführenden Leiter (4). Die leichte Erhöhung des Profils (6) führt zum Abfliesen von Regenwasser und verhindert dadurch ebenfalls ungewollte Kurzschlüsse.The snail fence consists of a profile strip (1) with an inner protective surface (2) and an outer protective surface (3) as well as a raised area (6). Two grooves are set into the outer area of the raised area (6), into which the current-carrying conductors (4) are clamped. The profile wall (5), which is completely set into the ground, prevents the snail fence from crawling under. The protective surfaces (2,3) prevent unwanted short circuits caused by overlapping wet grass or the like and enable the adjacent ground to be worked (e.g. by mowing the lawn, hoeing) without the risk of damaging the current-carrying conductors (4). The slight elevation of the profile (6) allows rainwater to flow away and thus also prevents unwanted short circuits.

Die Anlage funktioniert wie folgt:The system works as follows:

Die Profilleiste (1) wird eingegraben, so dass nur die leichte Erhöhung (6) herrausragt. Die Leiter (4) werden an eine Batterie und elektronische Schaltung mit pulsierender Niederspannung angeschlossen. Kriechen die Schnecken über die beiden Leiter erhalten sie einen leichten Stromschlag, der sie vom Weiterkriechen abhält.The profile strip (1) is buried so that only the slight elevation (6) protrudes. The conductors (4) are connected to a battery and electronic circuit with pulsating low voltage. If the snails crawl over the two conductors, they receive a slight electric shock that stops them from crawling any further.
