Abstract

The modular barrier involves each module having a frame of hollow profiles (3,4), filled with a grid (7) extending into longitudinal slots (13) provided in the hollow profiles. In each corner of the frame, the hollow profiles are accommodated with clearance in a corner connector (5). The module is exclusively held together by the grid. The grid bars (8,9) located in the hollow profiles have thickened formations at their edges, the dimensions of which at right-angles to the frame plane exceed the width of the longitudinal slots in the hollow profiles.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine modulare Abschrankung, bei der jedes Modul einen Rahmen aus Hohlprofilen aufweist, der mit einem tafelartigen Element mindestens teilweise ausgefüllt ist, wobei das tafelartige Element in Längsschlitze ragt, die in den Hohlprofilen vorgesehen sind.The invention relates to a modular barrier, in which each Module has a frame made of hollow profiles with a panel-like element is at least partially filled, the panel-like element in Protrudes longitudinal slots that are provided in the hollow profiles.

Derartige Abschrankungen dienen beispielsweise zum Umzäunen von Maschinen und Anlagen, um diese vor Manipulationen durch Unbefugte zu schützen, aber insbesondere auch, um Menschen vor Verletzungen durch Berühren von Teilen der Maschinen oder Anlagen zu schützen.Such barriers are used, for example, for fencing of machines and systems to prevent manipulation by unauthorized persons protect, but especially to protect people from touch injuries to protect parts of machines or systems.

Es sind modulare Abschrankungen wie in US-A-3 734 467 bekannt, bei denen jedes Modul einen Rahmen aus Profilrohr aufweist, der mit einem tafelartigen Element, beispielsweise einem Drahtnetz oder einem Blech ausgefüllt ist. Die Rahmen sind dabei entweder geschweisst oder mittels Eckverbindern zusammengefügt. Die Nachteile dieser bekannten Abschrankungen bestehen insbesondere darin, dass die den Rahmen bildenden Teile exakt masshaltig sein müssen und deren Zusammenbau relativ aufwendig ist. Ein weiterer, erheblicher Nachteil solcher Abschrankungen mit starren Rahmen zeigt sich dann, wenn mehrere Module in einer Reihe auf einem Boden aufgestellt werden, der Unebenheiten und/oder Gefälle aufweist. Die senkrechten Profile zweier aneinander angrenzender Module sind dann nämlich oft nicht parallel, so dass in der Abschrankung unerwünschte Lücken bestehen und sich darüber hinaus Schwierigkeiten ergeben, wenn benachbarte Module miteinander verbunden werden sollen.Modular barriers are known, such as in US-A-3,734,467, in which each module has a frame made of profile tube, with a panel-like element, for example a wire mesh or a sheet is filled. The frames are either welded or joined using corner connectors. The Disadvantages of these known barriers are in particular that the parts forming the frame must be exactly true to size and their Assembly is relatively expensive. Another significant disadvantage of such Barriers with rigid frames show up when several modules in be placed in a row on a floor of unevenness and / or Slope. The vertical profiles of two adjacent modules are then often not parallel, so that undesirable in the barrier There are gaps and there are also difficulties if neighboring modules are to be connected.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine modulare Abschrankung der erwähnten Art vorzuschlagen, welche die genannten Nachteile überwindet. Insbesondere soll die erfindungsgemässe modulare Abschrankung sehr einfach herzustellen und zu montieren sein und mit minimalem Aufwand an Unebenheiten und/oder Gefälle des sie tragenden Bodens angepasst werden können.Based on this prior art, the invention lies Based on the task of proposing a modular barrier of the type mentioned, which overcomes the disadvantages mentioned. In particular, the Modular barrier according to the invention very easy to manufacture and to be mounted and with minimal effort on bumps and / or slopes of the soil they support.

Diese Aufgaben werden durch eine modulare Abschrankung der eingangs genannten Art gelöst, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass jeweils zwei in einem Winkel zueinander stehende Hohlprofile mit Spiel in einen Eckverbinder ragen, derart, dass sie in der Rahmenebene in einem Winkelbereich verstellbar sind und dass das Modul ausschliesslich über das tafelartige Element zusammengehalten wird, indem dieses an seinen Rändern Verdickungen aufweist, deren Abmessung rechtwinklig zu seiner Ebene die Breite der Längsschlitze übersteigt.These tasks are accomplished by a modular barrier to the beginning mentioned type, which is characterized in that two at an angle to each other hollow profiles with play in a corner connector protrude such that they are adjustable in the frame plane in an angular range and that the module is made exclusively via the panel-like element is held together by thickening at its edges, whose dimensions are perpendicular to its plane the width of the longitudinal slots exceeds.

Dadurch, dass die Hohlprofile mit Spiel in den Eckverbindern aufgenommen sind, ist der Rahmen nicht starr, sondern die Eckverbinder haben die Wirkung von Gelenken, so dass der Rahmen in einem beschränkten Bereich zu einem Rhomboid oder Trapez verformt werden kann. Diese Module können somit mit geringstem Aufwand zu einer geschlossenen Abschrankung zusammengestellt werden, bei der die vertikalen Hohlprofile zweier benachbarter Module auch auf unebenem und/oder geneigtem Boden exakt parallel sind. Dadurch, dass das Modul ausschliesslich über das tafelartige Element zusammengehalten wird, wird dessen Herstellung und Montage äusserst einfach. Die Hohlprofile müssen nur zugeschnitten und in die Eckverbinder gesteckt werden. Auf eine Befestigung der Hohlprofile untereinander oder in den Eckverbindern, wie dies bei Abschrankungen des Standes der Technik erforderlich ist, kann verzichtet werden.The fact that the hollow profiles are added with play in the corner connectors the frame is not rigid, but the corner connectors have it Effect of joints, so that the frame in a limited area too a rhomboid or trapezoid can be deformed. These modules can thus compiled into a closed barrier with the least effort in which the vertical hollow profiles of two neighboring modules are exactly parallel even on uneven and / or inclined floors. Thereby, that the module is held together exclusively by the panel-like element production and assembly becomes extremely simple. The Hollow profiles only have to be cut and inserted into the corner connectors. On fastening the hollow profiles to each other or in the corner connectors, as is necessary in the case of barriers of the prior art to be dispensed with.

Figur 1 zeigt in einem abgeschnittenen Aufriss zwei Module 1 einer herkömmlichen modularen Abschrankung. Jedes Modul 1 besteht aus einem Rahmen, der durch zwei vertikale Hohlprofile 3 und zwei horizontale Hohlprofile 4 gebildet wird, die durch vier Eckverbinder 5 zusammengehalten werden. Die Hohlprofile 3 und 4 weisen in ihrer zur Innenseite des Rahmens gerichteten Fläche einen durchgehenden Längsschlitz auf, der ein Gitter 7 aufnimmt. Die Hohlprofile 3, 4 sind in den Eckverbindern 5 durch Schrauben oder durch Schweissnähte befestigt. An den unteren Eckverbindern sind Füsse 6 befestigt, welche die Module 1 auf dem Boden 2 abstützen. Wie in Figur 1 deutlich zu sehen ist, geht der Boden, der in der rechten Hälfte der Figur genau horizontal verläuft, nach links in ein Gefälle über. Dies ist sowohl bei Fabrikhallen als auch insbesondere bei Plätzen im Freien oft der Fall, weil dafür gesorgt werden muss, dass auf den Boden gelangendes Wasser abfliesst. Bei den starren, rechtwinkligen Rahmen des Standes der Technik wirkt sich dieses Gefälle des Bodens 2 störend aus, indem, wie in der Mitte der Figur zu erkennen ist, die vertikalen Hohlprofile 3 der beiden benachbarten Module 1 nicht parallel zueinander verlaufen. Dadurch entstehen zwischen benachbarten Modulen Lücken, die je nach Verlauf des Bodengefälles, nach unten oder nach oben hin zunehmen, wie dies in Figur 1 durch die Masse W und X verdeutlicht wird. Wenn jeweils zwei benachbarte Module miteinander, beispielsweise durch aus Haken und Ösen bestehende Kupplungen, verbunden werden sollen, können entweder diese Kupplungen nicht oder nur mit Schwierigkeiten verbunden werden, oder mindestens einer der Füsse 6 verliert den Kontakt mit dem Boden, wodurch die Abschrankung an Stabilität und Standfestigkeit verliert. Zwar kann diesen Schwierigkeiten durch höhenverstellbare Füsse teilweise begegnet werden, doch ist das Verstellen der Füsse eine mühsame Arbeit, die unter Umständen nach jedem Deplazieren von Modulen wiederholt werden muss.FIG. 1 shows two modules 1 one in a cut-away elevation conventional modular barrier. Each module 1 consists of one Frame made up of two vertical hollow sections 3 and two horizontal hollow sections 4 is formed, which are held together by four corner connectors 5. The Hollow sections 3 and 4 face in towards the inside of the frame Surface on a continuous longitudinal slot that receives a grid 7. The Hollow profiles 3, 4 are in the corner connectors 5 by screws or by Welded seams attached. Feet 6 are attached to the lower corner connectors, which support the modules 1 on the floor 2. As clearly shown in Figure 1 is seen, the floor that goes exactly horizontal in the right half of the figure runs to the left into a slope. This is both in factory buildings as well often the case, especially in outdoor spaces, because care is taken to ensure this must drain water that gets to the floor. With the rigid, rectangular frame of the prior art affects this gradient of Bottom 2 disturbing by, as can be seen in the middle of the figure, the vertical hollow profiles 3 of the two adjacent modules 1 are not parallel to each other run. This creates gaps between neighboring modules, which increase depending on the course of the slope, downwards or upwards, as shown in Figure 1 by the masses W and X. If each two neighboring modules with each other, for example by using hooks existing couplings can be connected either these couplings are not connected or only with difficulty, or at least one of the feet 6 loses contact with the ground, causing the The barrier loses stability and stability. It can Difficulties are partially countered by height-adjustable feet, but adjusting the feet is a tedious job, which under certain circumstances must be repeated after each misplacement of modules.

Figur 2 zeigt in einer der Darstellung nach Figur 1 entsprechenden Ansicht zwei Module 1 einer modularen Abschrankung gemäss der Erfindung. Dabei sind bei den Hohlprofilen 3, 4 und bei den Eckstücken 5 des auf der linken Seite der Figur 2 dargestellten Moduls nur die Umrisse gezeichnet, so dass sichtbar ist, wie das Gitter 7 sich in die Hohlprofile 3, 4 hinein erstreckt. Damit die mittleren vertikalen Hohlprofile 3 trotz des unebenen Bodens 2 genau parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind, wurde der Rahmen des linken Moduls 1 aus seiner Rechteckform zu einem Trapez verstellt. Dies wird durch das Winkelspiel ermöglicht, mit dem die Hohlprofile 3, 4 in den Eckstücken 5 aufgenommen sind. Wie man beim unteren Hohlprofil 4 des in der Figur 2 linken Moduls 1 sieht, verläuft dieses parallel zum Boden 2, wogegen das Gitter 7 dieses Moduls 1 horizontal und parallel zum unteren Hohlprofil 4 des in der Figur 2 rechten Moduls 1 verläuft.FIG. 2 shows a representation corresponding to FIG. 1 View of two modules 1 of a modular barrier according to the invention. The hollow sections 3, 4 and the corner pieces 5 are on the left Side of the module shown in Figure 2 only drawn the outline, so that it is visible how the grid 7 extends into the hollow profiles 3, 4. In order to the middle vertical hollow sections 3 exactly parallel despite the uneven floor 2 are aligned to each other, the frame of the left module 1 was made its rectangular shape adjusted to a trapezoid. This is due to the angular play enables the hollow sections 3, 4 to be accommodated in the corner pieces 5 are. How to do with the lower hollow section 4 of the module 1 on the left in FIG. 2 see, this runs parallel to the floor 2, whereas the grid 7 of this module 1 horizontally and parallel to the lower hollow profile 4 of the right one in FIG. 2 Module 1 runs.

Figur 3 zeigt einen Eckbereich eines Moduls 1 in einer gegenüber den Figuren 1 und 2 vergrösserten, teilweise geschnittenen Ansicht. Der Eckverbinder 5 besteht aus zwei schalenartig miteinander verbundenen Hälften, wie dies besonders deutlich in den Figuren 5 und 6 zu sehen ist, wobei in Figur 3 nur eine dieser Hälften dargestellt ist, um den Blick ins Innere des Eckverbinders 5 freizugeben. Die Hohlprofile 3 und 4 sind mit Spiel in entsprechenden Öffnungen 14 des Eckverbinders 5 aufgenommen, aber nicht befestigt. Das Modul 1 wird ausschliesslich durch das aus aufeinander geschweissten Gitterstäben 8 und 9 bestehende Gitter 7 zusammengehalten. Beim vertikalen Hohlprofil 3 ragen die horizontalen Gitterstäbe 8 mit Spiel durch den Längsschlitz 13 und beim horizontalen Hohlprofil 4 ragen die vertikalen Gitterstäbe 9 mit Spiel durch den Längsschlitz 13. Die Breite der Längsschlitze 13 ist dabei so bemessen, dass jeweils der sich im Inneren des Hohlprofils 3 bzw. 4 befindende äusserste Gitterstab 9 bzw. 8 nicht durch den Längsschlitz 13 passt. Diese Konstruktion ermöglicht auch eine Anpassung der horizontalen und vertikalen Abmessungen des Rahmens. Die Abmessungen können gegenüber der in Figur 3 gezeigten Lage verkleinert werden, indem der Rahmen um das Mass 2Y zusammengeschoben wird, bis die Hohlprofile in gegenüberliegenden Eckverbindern auf den Grund der Öffnung 14 stossen. Andererseits können die Abmessungen gegenüber der in Figur 3 gezeigten Lage vergrössert werden, indem der Rahmen um das Mass 2Z auseinandergezogen wird, bis die äussersten Gitterstäbe an den Innenwänden der Hohlprofile im Bereich der Längsschlitze 13 anliegen. In den Eckverbindern 5 sind Befestigungslöcher 10 zum Anbringen der Füsse 6 vorgesehen.Figure 3 shows a corner area of a module 1 in an opposite Figures 1 and 2 enlarged, partially sectioned view. The corner connector 5 consists of two halves joined together like a shell, as can be seen particularly clearly in FIGS. 5 and 6, in FIG 3 only one of these halves is shown to look inside the corner connector 5 to release. The hollow profiles 3 and 4 are in play with corresponding Openings 14 of the corner connector 5 added, but not attached. The Module 1 is made exclusively of welded bars 8 and 9 existing grid 7 held together. With the vertical hollow profile 3 the horizontal bars 8 protrude through the longitudinal slot 13 with play and with the horizontal hollow profile 4, the vertical bars 9 protrude with play through the longitudinal slot 13. The width of the longitudinal slots 13 is dimensioned so that in each case the outermost one located inside the hollow profile 3 or 4 Lattice bars 9 and 8 do not fit through the longitudinal slot 13. This construction also allows adjustment of the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the frame. The dimensions can be compared to that in FIG. 3 shown position can be reduced by pushing the frame together by the dimension 2Y until the hollow profiles in opposite corner connectors come to the bottom of the opening 14. On the other hand, the dimensions compared to the position shown in Figure 3 by the frame is pulled apart by the dimension 2Z until the outermost Lattice bars on the inner walls of the hollow profiles in the area of the longitudinal slots 13 concerns. In the corner connectors 5 there are mounting holes 10 for attachment the feet 6 provided.

Figur 4 zeigt mittels einer der Figur 3 entsprechenden Darstellung, dass das erwähnte Spiel, mit dem die Hohlprofile 3 und 4 im Eckverbinder 5 aufgenommen sind, es zwecks Erreichung des im Zusammenhang mit Figur 2 beschriebenen Zieles ermöglicht, die Hohlprofile in der Rahmenebene um einen Winkel α zu verstellen und so den Rahmen aus seiner rechteckigen Form in eine Rhomboid- oder Trapezform zu bringen.FIG. 4 shows by means of a representation corresponding to FIG. 3, that the game with which the hollow profiles 3 and 4 in the corner connector 5 are included, in order to achieve the in connection with Figure 2 Objective described allows the hollow profiles in the frame plane by To adjust angle α and so the frame from its rectangular shape in to bring a rhomboid or trapezoidal shape.

Figur 5 ist eine perspektivische Explosionsansicht eines Eckbereichs des oben diskutierten Ausführungsbeispiels des erfindungsgemässen Moduls. In dieser Figur ist sehr gut zu erkennen, dass die Dicke des Gitters 7 etwa dem doppelten Durchmesser der Gitterstäbe 8 und 9 entspricht und dass die Breite der Längsschlitze 13 etwas grösser ist als der Durchmesser der Gitterstäbe, aber nicht so gross wie der Durchmesser von zwei Gitterstäben. Zum Montieren des Moduls 1 muss folglich das Gitter 7 in Längsrichtung der Hohlprofile 3, 4 in die Längsschlitze 13 geschoben werden. Die aus zwei Hälften bestehenden Eckverbinder 5 werden so zusammengefügt, dass die Hohlprofile 3, 4 in die Öffnungen 14 zu liege kommen. Schliesslich werden die beiden Hälften des Eckverbinders 5 durch eine durch das Loch 17 ragende (nicht dargestellte) Schraube zusammengehalten.Figure 5 is an exploded perspective view of a corner area of the embodiment of the module according to the invention discussed above. In this figure it can be clearly seen that the thickness of the grating 7 is approximately that twice the diameter of the bars 8 and 9 corresponds to that and the width the longitudinal slots 13 is somewhat larger than the diameter of the bars, but not as big as the diameter of two bars. For mounting of the module 1 must therefore the grid 7 in the longitudinal direction of the hollow profiles 3, 4 in the longitudinal slots 13 are pushed. The two halves Corner connectors 5 are assembled so that the hollow profiles 3, 4 in the Openings 14 come to rest. Finally, the two halves of the Corner connector 5 through a through the hole 17 protruding (not shown) Screw held together.

Figur 6 zeigt in ähnlicher Darstellung wie Figur 5 ein anderes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung. Anstelle des Gitters 7 ist hier eine Platte 15 vorgesehen, die aus Blech oder aus einem Kunststoff, beispielsweise Plexiglas bestehen kann. Die Ränder dieser Platte 15 sind etwa rechtwinklig abgekantet, sie könnten aber auch umgebördelt sein. Wichtig ist, dass die rechtwinklig zur Plattenebene gemessene Dimension der Ränder grösser ist als die Breite der Längsschlitze 13, so dass die Platte 15 das Modul wie oben am Beispiel des Gitters 7 beschrieben zusammenhält. In den Bereichen der Eckverbinder 5 ist die Platte ausgeschnitten.FIG. 6 shows another embodiment in a representation similar to FIG. 5 the invention. Instead of the grid 7, a plate 15 is provided here, which consist of sheet metal or a plastic, for example plexiglass can. The edges of this plate 15 are chamfered approximately at right angles, they but could also be flanged. It is important that the at right angles to the The dimension of the edges measured at the plate level is greater than the width of the Longitudinal slots 13, so that the plate 15, the module as above using the example of Grid 7 described holds together. In the areas of the corner connector 5 is cut out the plate.

In Figur 7 ist schliesslich anhand eines Ausschnitts gezeigt, wie die Module zum Lagern und/oder Transportieren aufeinander gestapelt werden können. Um ein gegenseitiges Verschieben der aufeinander gestapelten Module zu verhindern, ist an jedem Eckverbinder 5 ein Stapelnocken 11 (auch in den Figuren 5 und 6 sichtbar) und eine entsprechende Vertiefung 12 vorgesehen. In den teilweise geschnittenen Bereichen der Figur sieht man, wie jeweils ein Stapelnocken 11 in eine Vertiefung 12 eines benachbarten Moduls eingreift.Finally, FIG. 7 shows how the Modules for storage and / or transportation can be stacked on top of one another can. A mutual shifting of the stacked modules To prevent a stacking cam 11 (also in 5 and 6 visible) and a corresponding recess 12 is provided. In the partially cut areas of the figure you can see how a stacking cam 11 engages in a recess 12 of an adjacent module.
