Description

- ίο -

The invention relates to a delimitation element for delimiting or separating various Surfaces, especially outdoors, from each other.

Such delimitation elements are used in particular to separate or delimit lawns used by other areas used. This was previously only possible with concrete slabs as well Path edging and deep curbs. The latter are largely very high, so that garden owners often on the use of such visually unappealing delimitation elements, which In addition, create dangerous trip thresholds, do without and continue to cut the lawn at the edge. this must be repeated frequently, at fairly regular intervals, around the edge of the lawn keep it clean and visually attractive. If concrete blocks are used for delimitation, then for their Installation of large trenches excavated and mostly sub-concrete or concrete supports are used, to give them good stability. These requirements are imminent for hobby gardeners generally too time-consuming and require too much special knowledge, so that also limiting elements made of concrete slabs cannot be used to a large extent in private gardens.

The invention is therefore based on the object of creating a delimitation element that has a visually appealing delimitation or separation of areas, especially lawns from others Allows surfaces, is easy to assemble

and has good stability.

The object is achieved in that the cross-sectional area is generally narrower on the side facing the upper surface than in the rest of the area.

This configuration of the delimitation elements makes it possible to design them with a low height. As a result, the weight of the limiting elements is significantly reduced, and they can can be transported easily, e.g. by car.

The installation work is significantly simplified and facilitated with these delimitation elements. Due to their lower height, the extent of the excavation required for installation the earth mass, i.e. the excavation work, is much lower than when using known delimitation elements. There is also no special substructure, e.g. made of concrete, and no lateral concrete supports

necessary. The boundary elements are »
inserted directly into the dug trenches,

if necessary, a sand pad is filled into the trenches, which can be very shallow. The insertion of the delimitation elements is also easier due to the advantageously lower weight as before. After insertion, sand or earth is added on both sides, as required, and slurried with water. Other further work and further materials are not required,

so that the installation work can also be carried out by a layperson.

If the delimitation element according to the invention is used so that its upper surface is at ground level the annoying trimming at the edge of the lawn is no longer necessary. In this case the lawnmower can be pushed over the delimitation elements without hindrance, whereby the lawn can be cut in this edge zone without any problems.

In particular for the delimitation of lawns it is advantageous to use delimitation elements, in which at least one of the side surfaces is at least partially inclined to the base surface runs. This is often the case with both side surfaces, so that the cross-section of the delimiting elements has the shape of a trapezoid or a Has cut triangle and the delimiting element has a wedge shape. Such and similar limits. Tongue elements are also referred to below as "turf wedge".

The advantageous shape of the delimitation elements according to the invention also causes the ground pressures act essentially uniformly on the side surfaces and are more or less balanced. The delimiting elements are therefore not raised even when exposed to frost.

Boundary elements are used whose one side surface is perpendicular to the base.

Due to the favorable weight distribution with the base area

shifted focus are the delimitation elements according to the invention very stable. A dump is almost impossible. With flowing types of soil, the inventive Boundary elements can also be offset with concrete supports if this is necessary.

According to an advantageous development of the invention, the delimitation element has at least one that runs in the longitudinal direction Recess on. For example, the base is provided with a groove and can be attached to drainage and irrigation pipes, which are preferably made of plastic, are placed on what the alignment of the delimiting elements Much easier during assembly, the elements used are fixed in their position and the lateral stability is increased.

To fasten the delimitation elements to one another, they are advantageously provided with a receiving space, e.g. a groove, . provided in at least one end face and / or with a projection in at least one of its end faces. This represents also ensure sufficient lateral stability of the elements.

For this purpose, the delimiting elements can also have a conical recess or a corresponding one at the end be formed a mandrel.

According to an advantageous development of the invention, the delimitation element has a curved cross section. It can so to limit areas with non-straight edges

can be used, e.g. for irregularly curved lawn edges in ornamental gardens or gardens. Further
