Device for the temporary erection of a flood protection barrier

description

The invention relates to a device for temporarily establishing a flood protection line.

Flood protection is becoming increasingly important today, not least because flooding caused by extremely heavy rainfall is becoming increasingly common and causing catastrophic damage. Since stationary flood protection devices, e.g. Dams, dikes, retention basins, sheet piling, etc., often only inadequately or not at all (yet), usually use mobile flood protection devices that temporarily, i.e. can only be built for the period of the flood.

As a mobile flood protection device, sandbags are known which are stacked along a flood protection line in order to build a dam. The major disadvantage is that both the erection and the subsequent dismantling of such a dam are associated with a very high expenditure of time and work. Another disadvantage is inefficiency, since the sandbags cannot be recycled.

The object of the invention is therefore to create a device for temporarily erecting a flood protection line which avoids the aforementioned disadvantages, but nevertheless reliably and reliably protects against floods.

To achieve this object, the invention proposes a device in which the individual

Angle elements are provided along the flood protection line can be strung together, with the front of the individual angle element forming a storage wall and the rear of the individual angle element forming a supporting wall, and the underside of the individual angle element being able to be set up on a base area along the flood protection line.

The single angle element has a triangular cross section. Since the individual angle element stands with its underside on the base, its front, which forms the dam for the flood, is inclined relative to the base. Thus, the water pressure for the individual angular element creates a force component that acts vertically in the direction of the base. Likewise, the back of the individual angle element, which forms the support wall for deriving the water pressure acting on the dam wall, is inclined with respect to the base area. Viewed overall, this results in a very high level of stability for the device according to the invention.

Due to its favorable static properties, the individual angle element can be open on its transverse sides, since no forces have to be dissipated here, i.e. the individual angle element can be designed as a simple angle profile.

In a particularly preferred manner, the underside of the individual angle element is open.

As a result, the individual angle element with the lower edges of its front and back stands on the base. Because this significantly reduces the effective contact area of the individual protruding element, the force component acting vertically from the water pressure in the direction of the base area also increases, which further increases the stability of the device according to the invention.

Because of the open underside, the individual angle elements can be stacked on top of one another or in one another in a particularly space-saving manner, so that the device according to the invention requires only a small storage space in flood-free times when it is not required. In addition, it can be provided that the front side of the individual curved element has an outwardly angled adjusting edge that runs essentially parallel to the base area. Likewise, the rear side of the individual angle element can have an adjusting edge that is angled outwards and runs essentially parallel to the base area. By means of such outwardly angled adjusting edges, the individual angular elements can be safely set up, especially on flat base surfaces. Ideally, both the front and the back of the individual elements have such angled edges.

In order to further increase the stability of the device according to the invention, it can be provided that at least the adjusting edge which is angled outwards on the rear side has openings for the passage of fastening elements. By means of the fastening elements, e.g. Screws, bolts and the like, the individual angle elements can be securely attached to the base. Ideally, the adjusting edge that is angled outwards on the front side also has openings

Passage of fasteners on.

To achieve a high level of stability, it can additionally or alternatively be provided that at least the rear side can be fastened to the base surface by means of an anchoring device. Such anchoring device can e.g. a

Clamp or claw, which is either a rail running continuously along the flood protection line, or a rail section, which is preferably arranged in the region of the points at which the angle elements are strung together. The fastening of the anchoring device to the base area can be carried out by means of known fastening elements, e.g. Screws, bolts and the like take place.

If appropriate, an existing protection, for example a sidewalk edge running along the flood protection, can also serve as anchoring device. A person skilled in the art will understand that, ideally, the front side can also be fastened to the base surface by means of an anchoring device. A specialist also understands that, provided that the front or Back has an outwardly angled setting edge, the anchoring device can also attack this.

An equally front and rear attachment or anchoring of the individual angle elements has the great security advantage that even in the case of one

Flooding, as a result of which water pressure can be exerted on the rear side designed as a retaining wall when the actual flood returns, a secure stand of the device according to the invention remains guaranteed.

Because tightness also represents an essential safety aspect for the device according to the invention, a sealing arrangement can be provided at least between the adjusting edge which is angled outwards on the front side and the base area. Such a sealing arrangement is preferably made of an acid- and seawater-resistant material that has a high elasticity over a wide temperature range. Ideally, there is also between the

A sealing arrangement is provided on the back, the angled positioning edge and the base surface.

Since the temporary erection of a flood protection line generally always takes place under enormous time pressure as a result of a short-term impending flood, it is a very important safety aspect that the probability of errors occurring when erecting the device according to the invention is reduced to a minimum. This is achieved in that the front and the back of the individual angle element are each identical. For this reason, the personnel installing the device according to the invention cannot make the mistake during construction that the storage wall and retaining wall are mixed up. A mix-up between the storage wall and the retaining wall is also counteracted, if ideally, as already mentioned, the front and back of the individual elements have outwardly angled positioning edges that have identical through-openings for fastening elements on the front and back, between the on the front and back outside angled SteUkanten and the base surface a sealing arrangement is provided. In other words: the individual angular elements of the device according to the invention are distinguished by a structure which is symmetrical in cross section.

Because of the symmetrical structure, the front and the back of the individual angle element each have the same dimensions.

The front and the back of the individual angle element therefore also have the same material properties, e.g. in terms of strength, elasticity, resilience, etc.

In particular, at least the front of the individual angular element has the shape of a rectangular square. For the reasons of symmetry already mentioned, this ideally also applies to the rear of the individual angle element. Because of the rectangular design of at least the front, the individual angle elements can be lined up in a flush (sealing) manner.

It proves to be particularly practical if the front and the back of the individual angle element enclose an angle of preferably approximately 50 degrees. In view of the symmetrical structure of the individual elements already mentioned, this means that the front and back are each inclined at an angle of approximately 65 degrees with respect to the base area. This results in an almost ideal compromise. On the one hand, there is a sufficiently large force component exerted vertically by the water pressure towards the base area, on the other hand, a compact footprint that is only about 1 meter in the transverse direction to the flood protection line at a height of the individual angular element of about 1 meter. Depending on the expected height of a flood, the angle elements can easily be designed for a height in the order of 1 to 2 meters. Advantageously, the front and the back of the individual angular element are connected to one another in one piece, as a result of which the individual angular elements can be produced with relatively little effort in terms of production technology, for example by injection molding.

The individual angle elements are preferably made of a plastic, which is preferably reinforced with glass fibers. Such a material not only ensures the required properties in terms of elasticity and resilience, but is also characterized by a relatively low weight, which increases the amount of work involved in setting up and dismantling the

Flood protection relieved. Such a material also allows the angular elements to be cut or shortened easily if this should be necessary to adapt the device according to the invention to the course of the flood protection.

A particularly suitable material for producing the angle elements is a so-called “MonoPan”, preferably 30-MonoPan, PP80 TN 0.7 0/0 in a material thickness of about 30 millimeters, because this has almost ideal elastic properties in order to prevent deformation, which can be caused, for example, by striking flotsam to return to its original shape, thus preventing safety-related breaking or travel of the angle element.

So that the device according to the invention forms a stable and dense composite, it is provided that at least the front sides of angular elements arranged in a row overlap to a certain extent. For the reasons of symmetry already mentioned, this ideally also applies to the rear sides of the angular elements which are arranged in a row. The individual angular elements are put together so to speak, so to speak. In order to ensure a high level of tightness, a sealing arrangement can be provided between overlapping angle elements, which is preferably made of an acid- and seawater-resistant material that has a high elasticity over a wide temperature range.

To connect the device according to the invention to form a stable and tight composite, it can additionally or alternatively be provided that angular elements which are lined up in series can be connected by means of a connecting device. Such a connecting device can e.g. Include bushings or bolts that are embedded or fastened on the transverse side to the angle elements, so that the angle elements can be aligned with one another by means of bolts or sleeves.

The connecting device is advantageously arranged in the region of the outer longitudinal edge of the angle elements, since the angle elements have a particularly high stability at this point.

To reduce the effort involved in sealing orders, e.g. To reduce between lined up or overlapping angle elements or between control edges formed on the front and / or back of individual angle elements and the base area, there is the alternative that the lined up

Angle elements can be covered by means of a tarpaulin or film in order to achieve tightness. The tightness is achieved in that the at least the front sides serving as a baffle wall form angled angular elements which form a substantially flat or smooth contact surface for the tarpaulin. Because due to the flat or smooth contact surface, the tarpaulin is subjected to an even contact pressure under the effective water pressure. Because the tarpaulin lies evenly, the risk is minimized that the tarpaulin will be torn by flotsam impacting under the flow of the flooding and thus lose its tightness.

It is understood by a person skilled in the art that the covering tarpaulin or film by means of

Holding elements, such as weights or the like, must be fixed to their To prevent abortion under the influence of the flood. Since such holding elements result in a tension of the tarpaulin under the action of the flood, it is provided that the outer longitudinal edge of an angle element has a radius of preferably about 30 millimeters. As a result, there is no, so to speak, a sharp edge at which the tarpaulin could enter.

In order to further increase the stability of the device according to the invention, it can be provided that at least one strut device is arranged within the individual angle element, which connects the front and rear sides of the individual angle element with one another. By means of the at least one

Bracing device additional support forces can be derived from the front to the back or vice versa, which increases the stability to a significant extent. In particular, when the underside of the individual angle elements is open, the at least one strut device reliably prevents the front and rear sides of the winding elements from spreading apart.

In an advantageous manner, the at least one strut device is detachably arranged in the area of the points at which the angle elements are strung together. Since the individual angle elements are preferably open on their transverse sides, the strut devices can be attached there in a simple and time-saving manner when the angle elements are strung together, e.g. by pushing them onto the outer edges of the front and back.

In order to avoid errors when installing the device according to the invention, it is provided that the at least one strut device is constructed symmetrically.

In order to increase the stability of the device according to the invention, it can further be provided that a first support device is arranged within the individual angle element, which supports the front side of the individual angle element. The first support device can advantageously as an angle profile be designed on which the front of the angle element rests in order to be supported.

Likewise, a second supporting device can be arranged outside the individual curved element, which supports the rear of the individual angular element. The second

Support device can advantageously be designed as a stop against which the angle element is supported with the lower or adjusting edge of its rear side.

While the first support device directly reinforces the front side (baffle wall) of the angle element, the second support device reliably prevents the risk of the front and rear sides of the angle element spreading apart, which increases with increasing water level. Because of such support devices, the material thicknesses of the front and back of the angle element can be designed to be smaller, which brings about a weight saving, which in the sense of facilitating the work involved in erecting and

Dismantling the flood protection line is.

In order to simplify the work involved, it is also advantageous if the first and / or the second support device are arranged on a carrier element, since this reduces the number of individual parts that are necessary for the erection or dismantling of the flood protection.

The first and / or the second support device and the carrier element are advantageously formed in one piece. As a result, the support devices and the carrier element are to be produced from the same material. To achieve a high

To ensure lasting value, at least galvanized steel sheets or metals that are corrosion-resistant can be considered.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the carrier element or the support devices have openings for the passage of fastening elements. This can be done by means of the fastening elements, for example screws, bolts and the like Fasten the support element or the support devices securely to the base. If the flood protection is known from experience with previous floods, fixed fastening elements, for example screw threads embedded in the base, can also be provided.

As an alternative or in addition, the carrier element can comprise at least one holding element which engages in at least one holding device which is provided in a fixed manner in or in the region of the base area on which the individual angle elements can be set up.

For this purpose, the at least one holding element is advantageously designed as an edge which is angled downward, that is to say in the direction of the base or installation surface.

In order to keep the number of individual parts low, the downwardly angled edge and the carrier element are preferably formed in one piece.

If the at least one holding element is designed as an edge that is angled downward, it is particularly advantageous if the at least one holding device is designed as a groove that runs at least partially along the flood protection line. Because in such a groove, the at least one holding element can

Erection of the device according to the invention can be used in a simple manner.

It is advantageous if the groove is formed by a U-shaped profile. Such a U-shaped profile can be embedded in the base area on which the individual angle elements can be set up, so that it does not interfere in flood-free times.

In the event that the device according to the invention is used to "reinforce" an existing stationary flood protection device, it is appropriate that the existing stationary flood protection device includes the U-shaped profile. The groove or the U-shaped profile can thus be used Profile, for example, on a sheet pile wall or on a dike crown fixed as a path, for example temporarily increase these devices in the event of a flood by means of the device according to the invention in order to achieve additional protection.

For a sufficient stability of the device according to the invention, it is sufficient if several support elements or support devices transverse to the

Flood protection are arranged at a distance.

It is preferably provided that the carrier elements or the support devices are arranged in the area of the points at which the angle elements are strung together. Because there you can find the best possible

Achieve support effect, whereby in the case of overlapping angle elements they are pressed together, so that a better sealing effect is achieved, especially when a sealing arrangement is provided between the overlapping angle elements.

Even more stability is achieved if a third support device is arranged within the individual curved element, which supports the front side (storage wall) of the individual angle element on the longitudinal side. The third support device can advantageously be designed as an angle rail, which extends in the longitudinal direction along that of the front of the angle element.

Such a third support device prevents the front from giving way or even being pressed in, especially when flotsam strikes.

The third support device is advantageously supported via the second

Support device. For this purpose, a third support device configured as an angle rail simply has to be placed on two adjacent second support devices configured as an angle profile. As a result, the third support device designed as an angle rail runs at the level of the central region of the front of the angle element, where it has the best effect. A very important feature of the device according to the invention is that it can be adapted to any course of flood protection.

This is achieved in a simple manner in that individual angle elements are designed as corner elements in order to connect the device to an angled one

Adapt flood protection. Suitable corner elements are therefore used at corresponding points where the course of the flood protection has a bend or kink.

The variety of different types of corner elements is reduced by the fact that the corner elements preferably have an angle of the order of 30, 45, 60 and 90 degrees with respect to the course of the flood protection line. As a rule, four types of corner elements are completely sufficient.

In particular, if the angle elements are constructed symmetrically in cross section, a corner element can be used both as an inside corner and as an outside corner, whereby the variety of different types of corner elements is considerably reduced.

The use of corner elements to adapt the device according to the invention to each rectilinear course of the flood protection line is particularly useful when the course of the flood protection line is known. A simple and inexpensive alternative to this is that the interruptions in the dam wall of the barrier resulting from two angularly aligned angle elements can be covered by plate elements in order to adapt the barrier to an angular flood protection system. This alternative also offers the greatest possible degree of flexibility, which is very important because the temporary establishment of a flood protection system usually takes place under enormous time pressure. It is therefore not necessary to cut or shorten individual angle elements, since the plate elements interrupt the dam wall cover. Since there is no cutting or shortening, the angle elements are universally reusable, which is particularly economical.

A plate element consists of at least three segments, of which the outer segments are angled in relation to a central segment in order to connect to the

To lay the front of two angularly aligned angle elements. The individual elements can e.g. be welded together. However, it is particularly advantageous if a plate element or its at least three segments is formed in one piece. In this case, the bending of a segment with respect to another segment can be easily produced by a bending process.

It can advantageously be provided that the edges resulting from the angling of the outer segments with respect to a central segment have a perforation, preferably a longitudinal perforation. This is the

Bending process can be performed more easily and with simpler tools, so that the bend can be carried out on the spot, that is to say when an anti-flood device is deficient. In particular, the plate element or its bends can be adapted as precisely as possible to the angular course of the flood protection line.

In order to ensure tightness, it can also be provided that at least one sealing arrangement is provided between the outer segments and the front sides of two angular elements aligned at an angle to one another. If, as already mentioned, a cover is provided by means of a tarpaulin or film, the at least one sealing arrangement can be dispensed with.

For the purpose of positioning the plate element in relation to the angle elements, it can be provided that a plate element can be fastened to two angle elements oriented at an angle to one another by means of fastening elements. Particularly suitable fastening elements can be hooks, for example, by means of which the Ideally let the plate element hang on the outer longitudinal edges of the angle elements.

A deformation or deflection of the plate element due to the water pressure present is counteracted if a plate element comprises a further segment which are angled with respect to the central segment. In this way the plate element is reinforced.

An additional or alternative possibility of counteracting a deformation or deflection of the plate element is that a plate element can be supported on the back against the base surface by means of a support device.

Like the angle elements, the plate elements can be made of a plastic, which is preferably reinforced with glass fibers. However, it is preferably provided that a plate element is made of a corrosion-resistant material, preferably an aluminum alloy. Aluminum in particular combines the advantages of high stability with low weight.

It goes without saying that the plate elements can also be used to cover interruptions in the storage wall which result from an angular element which is oriented at an angle with respect to a stationary wall.

In the event that the flood protection line runs essentially vertically with respect to a stationary wall, provision can be made for the device to be adaptable or attachable to stationary walls by means of connecting elements. Such

Connection elements are designed to be simpler than the plate elements, since they generally only need to comprise two segments that are angled against one another. An embodiment of the device according to the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the sketched drawing. It shows: Fig. 1 shows a single angle element and associated

Fig. 7 in a perspective view another preferred

Embodiment of how angular elements can be strung together or connected using suitable devices.

In Fig. 1, a single angle element WE is shown in perspective. The angle element WE has a front side VS and a rear side RS, which are integrally connected to one another along a longitudinal edge LK. The longitudinal edge is not sharp-edged, but is rounded with an outer radius of approximately 30 millimeters, which is why the inner diameter along the longitudinal edge is approximately 50 millimeters is. The front and the back VS, RS are of identical design, they have the shape of a rectangular square.

So that the angular element WE can be reliably strung together or connected to an adjacent angular element, it has in the region of a transverse side on its side

Front and back VS, RS on a step-shaped shoulder AB, which offers the neighboring angle element a certain support, so that the front and back sides of aligned angle elements overlap.

The angle element WE is open on its transverse sides and on its underside in order to form an angle profile which stands on a base area with the lower edges of its front and rear sides VS, RS. In order to form a certain footprint, the front and rear sides VS, RS of the angular element WE each have outwardly angled setting edges SKV, SKR. A sealing arrangement DA is provided between the setting edge SKV angled on the front side VS and the base area.

Viewed in cross section, the angle element WE has a symmetrical structure. Since the front and rear sides VS, RS enclose an angle of approximately 50 degrees, the front and rear sides are each inclined at an angle of approximately 65 degrees with respect to the base area.

The specified dimensions of the angle element WE are particularly practical. The angular element WE has a total length of approximately 2000 millimeters. This results in minus the width of the step-shaped

Paragraph AB of about 150 millimeters an effective length of about 1850 millimeters; i.e. in relation to a flood protection line to be erected, an angle element WE covers a longitudinal section of approximately 1850 millimeters. On the basis of the specified angles and a height of the angular element of approximately 1000 millimeters, the angular element WE increases in the transverse direction

Hochwasserschutzhnie considered a footprint with a total width of about 1250 Millimeters, a width of about 100 millimeters being taken into account for the outwardly angled steep edges SKV, SKR.

The associated support elements TE, TE * are transverse to the longitudinal edge LK, which essentially corresponds to the course of the flood protection line, of the angle element

WE arranged. The support elements (see TE *) are spaced apart in the area of the points at which adjacent angle elements are strung together or connected; in other words, at the point where the front and back sides of the angular elements are lined up. The carrier elements TE, TE * have first and second support devices AVI, AV2 for the angle element WE.

The first support device AVI is designed as an angle profile, the side surfaces of which run essentially parallel to the front and rear side VS, RS of the angle element WE, consequently the first support device AVI, viewed in cross section, has the same geometry as the angle element WE.

The first support device AVI is arranged such that the front side VS of the angle element WE can rest on the front side surface of the first support device AVI in order to be supported.

The second support device AV2 is designed as a stop, which e.g. can be produced in a simple manner by bending the support element TE. The rear side RS of the angular element WE is supported against this stop via its outwardly angled setting edge SKR, the carrier element TE of the setting edge SKR offering a sliding surface if, for example, result in fluctuating support forces due to flood waves or impacting flotsam. In order to provide a secure fit for the rear side RS or the outwardly angled setting edge SKR, the stop is angled approximately 15 degrees with respect to the vertical or approximately 75 degrees with respect to the support element TE.

The support element TE or the support devices AVI, Av2 are sufficiently wide at about 300 millimeters to overlap by about 150 millimeters To be able to reliably accommodate angle elements. The height of the first support device AVI is approximately 600 millimeters, so that it extends into the central region of the front side VS of the angle element WE.

A third support device AV3, which is designed as an angle rail, lies between the adjacent support elements TE, TE * or second support devices AV2, and thus runs along the length at the middle of the front side VS.

2a to 2d, further advantageous features are discussed.

2a shows how very space-saving the individual angular elements of the device according to the invention can be stacked or stacked one inside the other in order to take up as little storage space as possible in flood-free times.

2b shows an example in which the angle elements are additionally covered with a tarpaulin or film PL.

2c shows examples of two angle elements designed as corner elements WE *, WE **, which are used when the device according to the invention is to be adapted to an angular flood protection.

2d shows a wall connection element WA, by means of which the device according to the invention can be adapted to existing stationary walls or attached to them. The wall connection element WA is designed as a plate which comprises two segments which are angled at an essentially right angle to one another.

A flood protection line identified by means of the voixicht according to the invention is shown in FIG. 3. The flood protection is here between a river and a sports facility to protect the sports facility. The

Flood protection has a right-angled course, which is why a corner element WE ** is used at the appropriate point. As shown, the back of the winking elements can also serve a further purpose, namely as an advertising space.

An exemplary embodiment is shown in FIG. 4, wherein a carrier element TE is received by a stationary holding device. For this purpose, the carrier element TE comprises at least one holding element, which here as downward, that is in the direction of the base or Footprint, angled edge TEK is formed. The downwardly angled edge TEK engages in a groove, which is formed here by a U-shaped profile UP. The U-shaped profile is part of a stationary

Flood protection device, here the upper cover plate ASW of a sheet pile wall.

5a to 5d show how two angular elements WE aligned at an angle to one another are connected by means of plate elements PE. 5c shows the case where the front sides of the angle elements WE enclose an angle of less than 180 degrees, so that the plate element is to be designed as an inside corner PEI. In contrast, FIG. 5d shows the case in which the front sides of the angle elements WE enclose an angle of greater than 180 degrees, so that the plate element is to be designed as an outside corner PEA.

5a shows the plate element designed as an inner corner PEI according to FIG. 5c per se. It comprises three segments SL, SM, SR, of which the outer segments SL, SR are each angled with respect to the central segment SM in order to be able to rest on the front sides VS of the angle elements WE.

FIG. 5b shows the plate element according to FIG. 5d designed as an outside corner PEA. Like the plate element designed as an inner corner PEI according to FIG. 5c, it comprises three segments SL, SM, SR, of which the outer segments SL, SR are each angled relative to the central segment SM so that they can rest on the front sides VS of the angle elements WE. It also includes

Plate element PEA a fourth segment SK, which compared to the middle segment SM is angled to reinforce the plate element, so that deformations or deflections caused by an existing water pressure are prevented.

6 shows a preferred exemplary embodiment in perspective of how angular elements WE can be joined or connected to one another by means of suitable devices VAV, VBV and VS V.

The angle elements WE also have a front and rear side VS, RS, which are integrally connected to one another along a longitudinal edge LK. The structure of the wink elements WE is symmetrical, the bottom is open, and the

Front and rear sides VS, RS each have angled control edges SKV, SKR.

So that the angular elements WE can be reliably strung together, a shoulder AB is formed on one open transverse side, which interacts with a counter shoulder AB '(indicated by dash-dotted lines) on the other open transverse side in such a way that the angular elements WE, as already mentioned, line up in a row. to overlap or overlap to a certain extent.

Before the angle elements are strung together, a

Bracing device VSV used on the transverse side of an angle element WE. For this purpose, the strut device VSV comprises two profiles PR and PV, which are firmly connected to one another by means of a strut ST. The profiles PR and PV have corresponding cutouts so that they can be placed on the outer edges AKR and AKV on the rear and front side RS, VS. In accordance with the symmetrical structure of the angular elements WE, the structure of the strut device VSV is also symmetrical.

In the area of the longitudinal edge LK, the angle elements additionally or alternatively have a connecting voix seal VBV, which here comprises bushes BU and bolts BO. The bushings BU are embedded in the transverse sides of the angle elements WE, and can accommodate bolts BO, so that the angular elements WE can be easily aligned in a row along the flood protection line when they are strung together. It is understood by a person skilled in the art that bolts BO can also be inserted in the transverse sides of the angular elements WE at the bushes BU, which can then be connected to one another via sleeves, or in

Bushings that are embedded in the adjacent angle element can be inserted. It is advantageous that the bolts BO can also be used as a handle to facilitate the transportation of the angular elements WE.

Serve to securely attach the angle elements WE to the base

Anchoring devices VAV in order to anchor at least the rear side RS via its outward-facing control edge SKR. The anchoring device VAV is designed as a clamp or an angled profile that has openings for the passage of fastening elements BM, e.g. Screws, bolts, nails and the like, by means of which the anchoring device VAV can be fastened to the base.

If not shown here, it is understood by a person skilled in the art that the front side VS can also be anchored by means of an anchoring device VAV via its outwardly angled control edge SKV in order to achieve a particularly high stability for the angular elements WE. Ideally, the anchoring devices VAV are arranged in the area of the points at which the angular elements WE strung together, as indicated in the drawing by the arrow PF (dash-dotted line).

In the further preferred exemplary embodiment shown in perspective in FIG. 7, the angle elements WE are also by means of a

Bracing device VSV strung together or connected, the bracing device VSV being configured symmetrically. The profiles PR and PV of the strut device VSV each have stop rails ASR and ASV, so that on the one hand the strut device VSV is held between two angle elements WE, and on the other hand by the strut device

VSV the angle elements WE flush or in line with one another can be aligned to each other, as shown in the drawing using the arrows. Compared to the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 6, the angle elements WE can be designed without paragraphs AB and counter-paragraphs AB ', which results in more favorable manufacturing costs. It is understood by a person skilled in the art that the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 7 is ideally used in a device according to the invention which can be covered by means of a tarpaulin or foil.
