Definitions

  • the present invention relates, as indicated by its title, to an improved fence, of the type used to form enclosures and which include at their ends means of coupling which permit an enclosure to be made by joining successive sections of fencing.
  • the fences currently used for making enclosures are generally composed of a metallic frame provided to the interior with a number of vertical bars, at the lower side with T-shaped feet, and at the sides complementary means of attachment which permit them to be linked together.
  • fences in general need to have some means of signalling their presence so that they can be seen easily at night or in dark places such as tunnels, which need is currently resolved using a rather impractical solution consisting in hanging lights from them on chains and with the corresponding locks to prevent them being removed.
  • the improved fence object of the invention has been designed to solve the above-mentioned problems, presenting a number of constructional features directed at providing this fence with various advantages with respect to those known at present.
  • the fence in question has a laminar body by way of an inverted U-shape, provided with a back ridge which runs through towards the lower zone in two diverging surfaces to form the front and rear sides of the fence; these surfaces have at the bottom some extensions onto which are fitted some feet which form supports for the fence on the ground.
  • the aforesaid laminar body is made of a light material, preferably a plastic, which provides important advantages, such as elimination of rust problems, greater ease of handling due to its low weight, elastic response of the fence when submitted to moderate impact and possibility of manufacturing by injection moulding.
  • the surface forming the front part which will be oriented towards the outside of the site enclosure, is substantially vertical and flat in order to prevent pedestrians, and especially blind persons, bumping into it, while the rear side, which will be orientated towards the zone containing the building work, forms an inclined surface which projects further at its lower zone, in order to increase the stability of the fence.
  • the increasing separation between the front and rear sides towards the lower zone provides an additional advantage consisting in the possibility of stacking the fences, with consequent reduction of the space needed for storing and transporting them.
  • Another of the features of the fence object of the invention is that the surfaces of both the front and the rear sides have a plurality of orifices by way of mesh which minimize the effects of wind on the fence and permit greater or lesser visibility through the fence as the angle of observation varies.
  • the front and the rear sides finish at the bottom in some extensions onto which are mounted feet destined to make contact with the ground; said feet are made of an elastic material of greater density than the laminar body, for example rubber, in such a way that most of the weight of the fence is concentrated at its lower zone in order to increase stability.
  • the feet have rounded lower ends in order to achieve better adaptation to uneven terrain.
  • the means of coupling to permit linkage of the successive sections of fencing are provided on the side ends of the front part.
  • the rear side of the fence is shorter than than the front side, the ends of these two sides defining imaginary planes converging towards the rear zone; this feature and the provision of the means of coupling of the fences on the ends of the front section, permit the fencing sections to be attached to each other at a small angle, without their rear sides coming into contact or getting in the way of each other.
  • the fence object of the invention incorporates light means for signalling, made up of light fittings which are set into the ridge of the fence so as to be visible from the exterior, and the corresponding wiring for connecting same to the mains electricity supply or to a battery included in the fence itself; where the power supply is from a battery, the latter will be fitted inside the ridge to protect it from adverse weather conditions.
  • the improved fence is made up of a laminar body 1 and some feet 2 for attachment to the lower zone of the body.
  • the body 1 is preferably made of a plastic material and has a general inverted-U-shaped configuration which forms a curved ridge 1a, a front section 1b and a rear section 1c.
  • the front section 1b defines a substantially vertical surface, while the rear side 1c defines an inclined surface which projects further at the lower zone.
  • Both the front 1b and rear lc sections have in their surfaces a plurality of through-orifices 1d and their lower sections terminate in extensions 1e on which are mounted the corresponding support feet 2.
  • the feet 2 are made of an elastic material of greater density than the laminar body 1, for example of rubber, so that they make up the greater part of the weight of the fence.
  • These feet have at the top a cavity 2a into which is inserted under pressure the corresponding protrusion 1e, and at the lower part they finish in a rounded end 2b to facilitate secure settling of the fence on uneven surfaces.
  • the rear side 1c is shorter than the front side 1b, with the ends of same forming two imaginary planes which converge towards the rear zone.
  • the means of attachment of the fence sections are provided on the ends of the front side 1b and are represented in this example of embodiment by some L-shaped hooks 1f and some annular fitments 1g provided at the same height as the hooks and into which the hooks 1f of the next fencing section are inserted.
  • the fence further includes some signalling light means made up of light fittings 3 which are set into the ridge 1a and are visible from the exterior, and by wiring 3a for connecting the lights to the mains electricity supply or to a battery 3b, shown in Figure 5, fixed to the lower surface of the ridge.
  • the wires 3a will be provided with the corresponding connector fixed to the interior zone of the ridge 1a.
