  • He has a substantially parallel to the road extending spar from tree trunk sections.
  • the End faces of two successive tree trunk sections bump into each other.
  • the tree trunk sections are connected by metal brackets.
  • Here extends on the side facing away from the road Holms a continuous strand of tabs while on the the side of the spar facing the road only in the joint area the tree trunk sections have short tabs in depressions of the spar are embedded.
  • the two-sided tabs are by means of the tabs and the log sections transverse bolt and on it rotatable nuts connected together.
  • the wooden plank is with the back strap and screwed to the post. It ends at a distance above of the floor. Your head is beveled and running pointed out. Through this slope, the height distance between the open top of the post and the ridge side Bridging roundness of the spar.
  • a protective barrier strand of the design described above is supposed to be a rural area, especially forest areas, assigned crossing road and optically the Environment to be adjusted.
  • the metallic posts are essentially the only ones Safety elements of the guardrail line. Moves a motor vehicle against the spar, the posts bend slightly, with the spar not only sloping backwards, i.e. bend down from the road, but also detach from the post and then the accident victim Motor vehicle no longer effective resistance can oppose. Form the vertical wooden planks no security elements, as they are due to the integration fly away easily between the spar and the posts can. This also increases the risk of injury connected to the vehicle occupants.
  • connection points between two tree trunk sections are unstable and can be particularly heavy Motor vehicles, such as middle and upper class passenger cars and trucks, no noticeable resistance oppose. It should be noted here that the tree trunk sections inevitably only a certain maximum Diameters can be obtained to the desired optical Not to affect impression.
  • the well-known guard rail line can only be on one side be arranged on a carriageway. Where two lanes with opposing traffic at a short distance, the guardrail strand is only doubled Execution can be used. The effort to protect vehicle occupants this increases considerably.
  • the invention is based on the prior art Based on the task of creating a protective barrier line, not only in terms of its material and its Shape of the rural surroundings of a roadway optically is appropriately adapted, but also the requirements fully corresponds to the protective function of pure steel crash barriers be put.
  • An essential aspect of the invention is in that only round components are used.
  • Herewith is still in connection with that from tree trunk sections existing spar an appealing to the human eye Optics conveyed, which no disturbing impression in the rural environment, especially in one Forest area, leaves.
  • the posts by means of a pipe string with a round cross section are connected.
  • the tubing string can consist of two or put together several sections that are interconnected are. Even this round pipe string starts another safety factor.
  • this pipe string from a steel cable pulled through, which is also excited and on this Way together with the upper steel cable in the spar also luxury vehicles or trucks provides sufficient resistance.
  • the pipe string between the floor and the spar can extend over several posts and if necessary with the posts firmly connected, for example welded.
  • Conceivable is also a shorter pipe string that has two neighboring ones Post connects.
  • the tubing string can support the posts but also only enforce relatively mobile.
  • the invention makes it visually more appealing Sight with effective protection against breakthrough of the guardrail strand created
  • the posts and the pipe string with paints or coatings can be provided that have a wood character have and therefore not only the spar, but overall advantageously adapted to a rural environment are.

Of the Outside diameter of the pipe socket above the posts corresponds to the outer diameter of the posts. At the bottom In the end, the pipe sockets on the outer circumference are so far related reduced in diameter, especially turned, that the pipe socket with these stepped lengths can be fitted into the post and on this way have their hold in the posts. The Steel rope then penetrates in the vertical central longitudinal plane bores arranged in the pipe socket.
  • each log section consists of two vertically divided Halves.
  • the division of the tree trunk sections enables it not only, the steel cable in the middle of the tree trunk sections embed, but also allows a beneficial Fix the ends of the halves on the round posts. That is, each log section extends between two posts.
  • lengthways of the spar extending wing-like tabs the pipe socket welded.
  • Cross holes provided through and through holes screw bolts can be inserted into the tabs.
  • the Cross holes in the halves of the log sections can by adapted to the surface of the tree trunk sections Stoppers are closed.
  • stiffening plates incorporated into the gap between the halves. How much Stiffening sheets are provided depends on the local Conditions. Their length also depends on these Conditions determined. If necessary, the stiffening plates also over the entire length of the halves go through. In this case, they preferably form one piece Components with the tabs on the pipe socket. Their height preferably corresponds to the diameter of the Tree sections or the height of the column between two halves. The stiffening plates do not need much to be fixed between halves. At the Join the halves together to form tree trunk sections and at the fixing on the tabs provided on the pipe socket the stiffening plates in the gap between the Halves perfectly fixed.
  • the stiffening plates provided in pairs.
  • one of the stiffening plates can be designed completely flat be while the other stiffening plate is one Guide channel extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of the spar having. This can be done, for example Embossing of the stiffening plate can be generated.
  • the embossed Guide channel can also be in a longitudinal groove Grab half of a log section so that it passes through it receives an additional position security. It also serves this guide channel for receiving the steel cable together with the longitudinal groove in half of the log section. If required, both stiffening plates can also be used be provided with pronounced guide channels, which in Grip the longitudinal grooves of the halves.
  • the half shells can be connected after connecting the Steel cable sections placed around the junction and then the screw sockets over the ends of the half shells be rotated so that the junction is covered and is no longer visible.
  • the cover caps fit the rounding on the ridge side of the spar in the area of a post. You can be made of plastic or steel. Your surfaces can also be done by coloring or coating Have wood character.
