Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an edge barrier element according to the preamble of enclosed independent claim.
  • Edge barrier elements are used in building construction and other elevated sites in order to prevent falls from scaffolding or the like.
  • the edge barrier elements are arranged on the free edge of the scaffolding, where they form an obstacle for workers and tools and prevent them from falling down to a lower level.
  • the edge barrier elements are thus used for temporary fall protection, which means that they should be easy and quick to install, adjustable and lightweight. Because the same edge barrier elements are used at different construction sites they are moved from one construction site to the following. This requires that the edge barrier elements can be effectively packed for the transport, taking as little space as possible. Naturally the edge barrier elements must fulfil the security requirements, such as standard EN13374, be strong and prevent accidental falls from elevated levels.
  • An edge barrier element having the features of the preamble of claim 1 is disclosed in the document EP 1 467 045 A2 . There is a constant need to improve the properties of the edge barrier elements, to make them easier to manufacture, transport and assembly.
  • An object of this invention is to minimise or even eliminate the disadvantages existing in the prior art.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an edge barrier element which has a simple construction but which fulfils the safety and strength requirements. Another object of the present invention is an edge barrier element which is easy to manufacture and pack for transport between construction sites.
  • Typical edge barrier element according to the present invention for use in building construction or the like is rectangular and has a first and a second horizontal edge, which are parallel to each other, and a first and a second vertical edge, which are parallel with each other and perpendicular to the first and second horizontal edge.
  • the barrier element further comprises
  • edge barrier element the stability and strength of the edge barrier element is significantly improved when third steel wires are arranged on the second side of the first steel wires, i.e. on the second side of the edge barrier element. It was realised that when the vertical first steel wires are supported by and attached to the horizontal second and third steel wires on both sides, the constructional strength of the edge barrier element is increased in unexpected manner.
  • the edge barrier element keeps its shape significantly better and is not distorted so easily.
  • the present invention also makes it possible to make lighter edge barrier elements while maintaining the required security aspects. Handling and transportation of light edge barrier elements is easier and more cost effective.
  • the horizontal third steel wires are arranged on the second side of the edge barrier element so that the vertical first steel wires become located between the second and the third steel wires.
  • the second steel wires are located on the first side of the edge barrier element and the third steel wires are located on the on the second side of the edge barrier element.
  • Second and third wires are opposite to each other, i.e. they are placed one upon another and they cross the first steel wires at same locations.
  • the second and the third steel wires are attached to the first steel wires by welding.
  • the second and third wires also form the first and second horizontal edges of the edge barrier element.
  • the edge barrier element barrier element is essentially planar. This means that the edge barrier element does not contain any parts, such as edge strips or the like, that are extending or protruding from the planar general surface of the edge barrier element.
  • the present invention increases the structural stability of the edge barrier element so much that the bent edge areas, known from some prior art barrier elements, can be excluded.
  • the planar shape of the edge barrier element makes it possible to pack them closer to each other during the transport, whereby one transport unit can carry a larger number of individual elements. This saves transport space as well as transport costs.
  • packing of the edge barrier elements is improved, because the elements can be packed to the transport frame without any regard to their vertical direction.
  • the handling of the edge barrier elements at the building site is also simplified as the elements may be installed or mounted with either side facing outwards.
  • the edge barrier element has preferably the following property:
  • the number of third steel wires on the second side of the first steel wires is the same as the number of second steel wires on the first side of the first steel wires, i.e. on the first side of the edge barrier element, and that the third steel wires and the second steel wires are essentially opposite and parallel to each other.
  • This embodiment provides an edge barrier element with elevated structural stability.
  • third steel wires are arranged on the second side of the first steel wires and essentially opposite and parallel to corresponding second steel wires only on a horizontal edge area, which extends 0.0 - 0.4 m, preferably 0.0 - 0.25 m, sometimes 0.01 - 0.25 m, from the first and/or the second horizontal edge towards the centre of the barrier element.
  • the distance between the adjacent vertical first steel wires may be constant in whole edge barrier element.
  • the distance between adjacent first steel wires may be in the range of 0.015 - 0.25 m, preferably 0.017 - 0.109 m. The distance is calculated from the centre of the wire to the centre of the nearest adjacent wire.
  • the distance between the adjacent first steel wires decreases from the first and second vertical edge towards the centre of the barrier element.
  • the mesh size of the barrier element decreases towards the centre of the barrier element.
  • the edge barrier element has more strength and has better impact-absorbing properties.
  • the distance between the first steel wires decreases gradually or step-wise. Stepwise means that the adjacent first steel wires may have the same distance for a few intervals until the distance decreases towards the centre of the edge barrier element. Alternatively the decrease may be constant, i.e. towards the centre of the barrier element each distance between two adjacent vertical steel wires is smaller than the preceding distance towards the nearest vertical edge.
  • the distance between two adjacent first steel wires may be in the range of 0.015 - 0.25 m, preferably 0.017 - 0.109 m at the first and the second vertical edge and/or the distance between two adjacent first steel wires may be in the range 0.015 - 0.25 m, preferably 0.017 - 0.109 m at the centre of the barrier element, however so that the distance is shorter in the centre of the element than at the edge area.
  • the distance is calculated from the centre of the wire to the centre of the nearest adjacent wire.
  • the distance between the adjacent horizontal steel wires, the second and third steel wires may be constant in whole edge barrier element.
  • the distance between adjacent horizontal steel wires may be in the range of 0.02 - 0.25 m, preferably 0.075 - 0.195 m.
  • the distance is calculated from the centre of the wire to the centre of the nearest adjacent wire.
  • the distance between the horizontal steel wire at the first and/or second horizontal edge of the barrier element and the adjacent horizontal steel wire towards the centre of the barrier element is shorter than the distance between other adjacent horizontal steel wires.
  • the decrease may be constant, i.e. towards the centre of the barrier element each distance between two adjacent horizontal steel wires is smaller than the preceding distance towards the nearest horizontal edge. This makes the horizontal edges of the edge barrier element more stable.
  • a toeboard may be permanently or detachably attached to one of the horizontal edges of the edge barrier element. Purpose of the toeboard is i.a. to prevent the tools from falling to a lower level or to the ground. Often the toeboard shows the name of the constructor or other relevant information.
  • the edge barrier element comprises at the second vertical edge a toeboard, which comprises at least a first toeboard part arranged on the first side of the first steel wires, i.e. on the first side of the edge barrier element, and at least a second toeboard part, arranged on the second side of the first steel wires, i.e. on the second side of the edge barrier element.
  • the toeboard is made of at least two toeboard parts, located at different sides of the edge barrier element, the information on the toeboard is easily visible on both sides of the edge barrier element. It is also possible that the toeboards and their information content are different on different sides of the barrier element.
  • the diameter of the first steel wires may be at least 3 mm, preferably in the range of 4.0 - 6.0 mm, more preferably 4.5 - 5.0 mm.
  • the diameter of the second steel wires is at least 4 mm, preferably in the range of 5.0 - 8.0 mm, more preferably 6.5 - 7.0 mm.
  • the diameter of the third steel wires is at least 4 mm, preferably in the range of 5.0 - 8.0 mm, more preferably 6.5 - 7.0 mm.
  • the third steel wires are normally identical to the second steel wires.
  • the first and the second horizontal edge of the edge barrier element have a length in the range of 0.5 - 2.6 m, preferably 2.2 - 2.6 m, and/or the first and the second vertical edge of the edge barrier element have a length in the range of 1.0 - 1.3 m, preferably 1.2 - 1.3 m.
  • the edge barrier element has the shape of standing rectangle, horizontal rectangle or square. Normally the weight of the edge carrier element is 6 - 20 kg.
  • Figure 1A shows a front view of a first side of an edge barrier element according to an example not forming part of the claimed subject-matter.
  • the edge barrier element 1 is rectangular and it has a first and a second horizontal edge 2, 2', which are parallel to each other. The distance between the first and second horizontal edge 2, 2' defines the height of the edge barrier element 1. Further, the edge barrier element has a first and a second vertical edge 3, 3', which are parallel with each other and perpendicular to the first and second horizontal edge 2, 2'. The distance between the first and second vertical edge 3, 3' defines the length of the edge barrier element 1.
  • the horizontal and vertical edges are naturally attached to each other by suitable means, e.g. by welding.
  • the edge barrier element 1 comprises further a plurality of vertical first steel wires 4, 4', 4", which are arranged to connect the first and the second horizontal edge 2, 2'.

  • the horizontal second steel wires 5, 5', 5", 5'" are parallel with the first and the second horizontal edge 2, 2' and located between them.
  • the distances between adjacent vertical steel wires 4, 4' and adjacent horizontal steel wires 5, 5' are constant, except on the edge areas of the edge barrier element 1.
  • the distance between the horizontal second steel wire 5 at the first vertical edge 2 of the barrier element 1 and the adjacent horizontal second steel wire 5' towards the centre of the barrier element 1 is shorter than the distance between other adjacent horizontal second steel wires 5', 5".
  • the distance between the vertical first steel wire 4 at the first vertical edge 3 of the barrier element 1 and the adjacent vertical first steel wire 4' towards the centre of the barrier element 1 is shorter than the distance between other adjacent vertical first steel wires 4', 4".
