The elements require very little space for storage and transportation. The elements made of plastic can easily be cut and sawn into parts of the desired sizes. For openings with standard sizes and shapes, it is possible to produce peat briquettes with the same sizes and shapes, the surface of the slope being very light can be completed.
  • the frame construction of the element is formed from side walls 1, between which openings 2 remain open both from above and from below.
  • the openings are open Z-shapes.

Abstract

1. Element for preventing the running down of growth medium such as soil or turf on inclined surfaces, said element including a frame structure formed from side walls (1), the outer surfaces of the side walls being inclined with respect to the plaie of the frame structure, characterized in that the side walls (1) are hollow and open at their one edge and that the inner cavities of the side walls become wider towards the open edge of the side walls.

Description

Diese Erfindung betrifft ein Element, um das Herunterrinnen von Wachstumsmedium, wie Erde oder Torf auf schrägen Flächen zu verhindern, welches Element eine aus Seitenwänden gebildete Rahmenkonstruktion umfasst, wobei zwischen den Seitenwänden von oben und unten offene öffnungen bleiben.This invention relates to an element for preventing growth medium such as soil or peat from running down on inclined surfaces, which element comprises a frame construction formed from side walls, wherein open openings remain between the side walls from above and below.

Bei den an Strassen und Gräben gebildeten Aufschüttungen, bei denen Rasen angebaut wird, ist es bekannt, verschiedene Rahmenkonstruktionen anzuwenden, um das Herunterrinnen von Erde von den schrägen Abhängen zu verhindern. Zur Zeit sind die meistens angewendeten Konstruktionen aus Betonteilen zusammengestellt. Solche Betonkonstruktionen sind jedoch schwer und sie sind verhältnismässig teuer.With the fillings formed on roads and ditches, in which lawn is grown, it is known to use various frame structures to prevent earth from running off the sloping slopes. At the moment, the mostly used constructions are put together from concrete parts. However, such concrete structures are heavy and they are relatively expensive.

Diese Erfindung soll eine solche Rahmenkonstruktion schaffen, die konstruktionsmässig leichter als die bisher angewendeten ist. Dem erfindungsgemässen Element ist es,kennzeichnend, dass die Seitenwände hohl und von ihrem einen Rand offen sind und dass die inneren Hohlräume der Seitenwände gegen das offene Rand der Seitenwände breiter werden.This invention is intended to provide such a frame structure which is structurally lighter than that previously used. It is characteristic of the element according to the invention that the side walls are hollow and open from one edge and that the inner cavities of the side walls become wider towards the open edge of the side walls.

Das erfindungsgemässe Element wird vorteilhaft aus Kunststoff hergestellt, wobei es konstruktionsmässig sehr leicht und handlich ist. Weil die Wände der Rahmenkonstruktion hohl sind und ihre Aussenflächen schräg sind, können auch Elemente mit verhältnismässig hohen Wänden so aufeinander gestapelt werden, dass deren Wände ineinander gehen. Dabei benötigen die Elemente nur sehr wenig Platz beim Lagern und beim Transport. Die aus Kunststoff hergestellten Elemente können leicht zu Teilen mit gewünschten Grössen geschnitten und gesägt werden. Für öffnungen mit Standardgrössen und -formen ist es möglich, Torfbriketten mit denselben Grössen und Formen herzustellen, wobei die Oberfläche des Abhanges sehr leicht fertiggestellt werden kann.The element according to the invention is advantageously made of plastic, but is structurally very light and easy to handle. Because the walls of the frame construction are hollow and their outer surfaces are slanted, elements with relatively high walls can be stacked on top of one another so that their walls merge. The elements require very little space for storage and transportation. The elements made of plastic can easily be cut and sawn into parts of the desired sizes. For openings with standard sizes and shapes, it is possible to produce peat briquettes with the same sizes and shapes, the surface of the slope being very light can be completed.

Die Erfindung und ihre Einzelheiten werden im folgenden anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung näher beschrieben, wobei es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 ein erfindungsgemässes Element von oben gesehen,
  • Fig. 2 einen Schnitt gemäss A-A in Fig. 1, und
  • Fig. 3 das Element von vorne gesehen.
The invention and its details are described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:
  • 1 an element according to the invention seen from above,
  • Fig. 2 shows a section along AA in Fig. 1, and
  • Fig. 3 seen the element from the front.

Die Rahmenkonstruktion des Elements wird aus Seitenwänden 1 gebildet, zwischen denen sowohl von oben als auch von unten offene öffnungen 2 bleiben. Bei der in Figuren dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die Öffnungen offene Z-Formen. Die Rahmenkonstruktion ist mit Querrippen 3 verstärkt, die die unteren Teile von zwei gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden jeder öffnung miteinander verbinden.The frame construction of the element is formed from side walls 1, between which openings 2 remain open both from above and from below. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the openings are open Z-shapes. The frame construction is reinforced with transverse ribs 3, which connect the lower parts of two opposite side walls of each opening.

Die Seitenwände 1 sind hohl und von unten offen. Ihre Flächen sind schräg so, dass der innerhalb dieser befindliche Hohlraum gegen das untere Teil breiter wird. Auch die Rippen 3 sind hohl und von unten offen.The side walls 1 are hollow and open from below. Their surfaces are inclined so that the cavity within them widens towards the lower part. The ribs 3 are also hollow and open from below.

Die erfindungsgemässen Elemente können aus Kunststoff hergestellt werden. Die Wände 1 sind z.B. etwa 10 - 12 cm hoch. Die Fläche der hohlen Seitenwände kann aus einer nur ca. 2 mm dicken Kunststoffschicht bestehen. Mehrere Elemente können aufeinander so gestapelt werden, dass die Seitenwände 1 ineinander gehen, wobei die Elemente sehr wenig Platz benötigen. Die Elemente werden an dem Abhang mit geeigneten Befestigungszapfen befestigt, wobei mehrere Elemente nebeneinander zu einer kontinuierlichen Netzstruktur angeordnet werden. Die nebeneinanderliegenden Elemente können miteinander so verbunden werden, dass die äussersten Seitenwände übereinander angepasst werden. Aus diesem Grunde sind zwei miteinander verbundene äusserste Seitenwände 1' und 1" mit öffnungen 4 versehen. Durch diese öffnungen können die Wände des angrenzenden Elements gehen, die aus den innerhalb der Wände 1' und 1" angepassten äussersten Wänden ausgehen. Die öffnungen 2 werden mit Erde oder Torf gefüllt, die bzw. der sehr gut, unterstützt von Wänden 1, liegen bleibt.The elements according to the invention can be produced from plastic. The walls 1 are approximately 10-12 cm high, for example. The surface of the hollow side walls can consist of a plastic layer which is only approx. 2 mm thick. Several elements can be stacked on top of one another in such a way that the side walls 1 go into one another, the elements taking up very little space. The elements are fastened to the slope with suitable fastening pins, several elements being arranged next to one another to form a continuous network structure. The adjacent elements can be connected to each other in such a way that the outermost side walls are adjusted one above the other. For this reason, two interconnected outermost side walls 1 'and 1 "are provided with openings 4. Through these openings, the walls of the adjoining element can pass, which are adapted from those within the walls 1' and 1" the outermost walls. The openings 2 are filled with soil or peat, which remains very well supported by walls 1.

Die Erfindung ist nicht nur auf die oben beschriebene Ausführungsform begrenzt, sondern sie kann auf verschiedene Weisen im Rahmen der Patentansprüche variiert werden. Die Form der Öffnungen 2 kann auch eine andere als die in Zeichnungen dargestellte sein. Die Rippen 3 können auch geschlossen sein, weil sie als ziemlich niedrig nicht das Aufeinanderstapeln der Elemente verhindern.The invention is not only limited to the embodiment described above, but it can be varied in different ways within the scope of the claims. The shape of the openings 2 can also be different from that shown in the drawings. The ribs 3 can also be closed because they do not prevent the elements from stacking up as being quite low.
