Definitions
- the invention is an arrangement in a fence structure presented in the introductory part to the patent claim 1.
- the invented solution is suitable for use in various fence structures, such as modular sound and noise dampening and reducing protective structures.
- the invented solution is particularly well suited for use in noise barriers for streets, roads, and railroads.
- noise barriers In some known noise barriers the sound insulating or absorbing modules or similar elements have been fixed in between vertical posts, set at certain intervals. The distance between the posts may be for example approximately two metres, in which case the sound insulating elements fixed in between are likewise approximately two metres in length.
- perforated metal sheets have been used as the surface structure for the noise insulating modules on traffic noise barriers, which have been fixed for example to the surface of the sound reducing absorption material.
- Protective netting or similar protections against vandalism have also often been installed in front of the sound insulating modules. The protective netting are often made of metal, and they also often consist of parts that are approximately as long as the distance between two vertical posts. Some other surface structure may also be used in front of the modules.
- the lengths of the noise insulation modules, perforated metal sheets, protective nets, and/or similar can vary due to thermal expansion. This causes problems for some known solutions. Sound insulation elements and protective nets may for example move around or structures break etc. Protective netting and other parts may come loose in known solutions due to failing fasteners. This can occur if screws or similar have been used for the fastening, which break at some point. It would thus be better if the noise insulating elements and protective nets were fastened without screws or similar fastener elements.
- One solution is to use fastener elements which have been fitted onto the vertical posts by means of form locking for example.
- two fastener elements aligned in the direction of a vertical post may have been fitted onto a vertical post on one side or both sides of a wall structure, by which the wall structures and protective nets on different sides of a single vertical post have been supported on the vertical post.
- an open space may exist in between two fastener elements attached onto a single vertical post, where for example the vertical edges of the protective net would be located. It would be good if this space in between two fastener elements could be somehow covered and protected.
- the purpose of this invention is to remove the above mentioned faults of the know technique and to create a novel arrangement for a fence structure, whereby the space in between two fasteners connected to a single post of the fence structure can be covered and protected.
- the benefit of the invented solution is to cover and protect the space in between two fasteners connected to a single vertical post of a fence structure. Another benefit is to keep hidden the fastening of the fence structure protective netting. A further benefit is the easy installation and possible dismantling of the cover element included in the invention. Yet another benefit is the affordability and simplicity of the arrangement.

- the locking tongues 14 have been arranged to attach the cover element 12 onto the fastening sections 4b via the fastening holes 10.
- Figure 12 presents a side view of a cover element 12 attached to the fastening sections 4b of a fastener element 4a.
- the cover element 12 has been dimensioned in a way that when two fastener elements 4a have been fitted onto a fence structure vertical post 3 and the cover element 12 is fitted to cover the space in between the fastening sections 4b of the fastener elements 4a, the inside surfaces of the fastener parts 12b of the cover element 12 are placed against the outer surfaces of the fastening sections 4b of the fastener elements 4a.
- the locking tongues 14 of the cover element 12 have been arranged to be bent inwards through the fastening holes 10 of the fastener element 4a fastening sections 4b, so that the cover element 12 is firmly attached onto the fastening sections 4b of the fastener element 4a. It is possibly not necessary to bend all of the locking tongues 14 of the cover element 12 through the fastening holes 10, as the cover element 12 will usually stay firmly in place with only some of the locking tongues 14 bent. In the application example of figure 12 , the topmost, middle, and lowest locking tongues 14a of the cover element 12 fastener part 12b have been bent through the fastening holes 10.
- window and door structures in a barrier element which animate the surface of the fence structure and provide the opportunity to see through the barrier and/or take a shortcut through it.

Description
- The invention is an arrangement in a fence structure presented in the introductory part to the
patent claim 1. - The invented solution is suitable for use in various fence structures, such as modular sound and noise dampening and reducing protective structures. The invented solution is particularly well suited for use in noise barriers for streets, roads, and railroads.
- It is known that various modular fence structures exist, including noise barriers. In some known noise barriers the sound insulating or absorbing modules or similar elements have been fixed in between vertical posts, set at certain intervals. The distance between the posts may be for example approximately two metres, in which case the sound insulating elements fixed in between are likewise approximately two metres in length. According to a known technique, perforated metal sheets have been used as the surface structure for the noise insulating modules on traffic noise barriers, which have been fixed for example to the surface of the sound reducing absorption material. Protective netting or similar protections against vandalism have also often been installed in front of the sound insulating modules. The protective netting are often made of metal, and they also often consist of parts that are approximately as long as the distance between two vertical posts. Some other surface structure may also be used in front of the modules.
- The lengths of the noise insulation modules, perforated metal sheets, protective nets, and/or similar can vary due to thermal expansion. This causes problems for some known solutions. Sound insulation elements and protective nets may for example move around or structures break etc. Protective netting and other parts may come loose in known solutions due to failing fasteners. This can occur if screws or similar have been used for the fastening, which break at some point. It would thus be better if the noise insulating elements and protective nets were fastened without screws or similar fastener elements. One solution is to use fastener elements which have been fitted onto the vertical posts by means of form locking for example. For example, two fastener elements aligned in the direction of a vertical post may have been fitted onto a vertical post on one side or both sides of a wall structure, by which the wall structures and protective nets on different sides of a single vertical post have been supported on the vertical post. Thus, an open space may exist in between two fastener elements attached onto a single vertical post, where for example the vertical edges of the protective net would be located. It would be good if this space in between two fastener elements could be somehow covered and protected.
- The purpose of this invention is to remove the above mentioned faults of the know technique and to create a novel arrangement for a fence structure, whereby the space in between two fasteners connected to a single post of the fence structure can be covered and protected.
- What has been presented in the characteristics section of
patent claim 1 is characteristic of the invented arrangement. What has been presented in other patent claims is characteristic of other applications of the invention. - The benefit of the invented solution is to cover and protect the space in between two fasteners connected to a single vertical post of a fence structure. Another benefit is to keep hidden the fastening of the fence structure protective netting. A further benefit is the easy installation and possible dismantling of the cover element included in the invention. Yet another benefit is the affordability and simplicity of the arrangement.

Figure 1 presents a frontal view andfigure 2 a top view of a part of a fence structure used as a traffic noise barrier, where the invented solution is applied. In the solution in question, the fence structure with itsnoise insulation elements 2 has been placed on both sides of a street, road, or railroad, running essentially in the direction of the street, road, or railorad. The fence structure is comprised of essentiallyvertical posts 3 attached onto the foundations of the fence structure, standing at a distance from each other, and installed sequentially. In the spaces between the sequentialvertical posts 3, to join thesequential posts 3, soundinsulating elements 2 have been fitted aswall structures 1, one on top of another in a sufficient quantity to achieve the desired barrier height. Thevertical posts 3 have been affixed onto the foundations byfasteners 7, for example bolts. The foundations of the fence structure are comprised of a base, for example a concrete sole 6, the stability of which has been further improved by for example undergroundconcrete pillars 5. There is also a plinth in between the sole 6 and the lowest sound insulation element, comprised of for examplealuminium plinth elements 8. There are twoplinth elements 8 in this application, fitted one on top of the other. - Outside of the
sound insulation elements 2, on both sides of thewall structure 1, there is fitted aprotective net 4, which has been arranged to for example prevent graffiti from being painted on the barrier. For clarity, theprotective net 4 has been drawn onfigure 1 only partially on the wall section in between thevertical posts 3. Theprotective net 4 and thesound insulation elements 2 have been affixed at their ends in between thevertical posts 3 by means offastener elements 4a of a moulding type. -
Figure 3a presents an oblique and diagonal view of an adapter part belonging to the invented solution. Theadapter part 9 is a support piece cut from metal sheet and bent into shape, which have been arranged for fitting onto thevertical posts 3 belonging to the fence structure and shaped as I-profiles. The end flanges of the I-profiles of thevertical posts 3 are essentially as long as the central flange joining them. Thefastener elements 4a have been arranged for fitting on top of theadapter parts 9. Theadapter part 9 is comprised of afastener 9a with itsfastening holes 9b, afirst support part 9c, asecond support part 9d, and athird support part 9e, with a 90 degree angle at the meeting point of all of the said parts. Theadapter 9 is also comprised of twosupport parts 9f. - In
figure 3b the adapter part has been presented from the top, infigure 3c from one side which is the direction of the arrow A infigure 3b , infigure 3d from another side which is the direction of the arrow B infigure 3b , and infigure 3e from a third side which is the direction of the arrow C infigure 3b . - In
figure 4a a top view is presented of thefastener element 4a belonging to the invented solution, which is a suitably bent moulding made of a metal sheet. Thefastener element 4a has been bent to form afastening section 4b, a first supportingsection 4c, a second supportingsection 4d, a third supportingsection 4e, and acompressive element 4f. Thefastener element 4a and its different parts are explained in more detail in the explanation section tofigure 7 . - In
figure 4b thefastener element 4a is presented obliquely from the side. Thefastener element 4a is slightly shorter than the fence structurevertical post 3, withfastening holes 10 in itsfastening section 4b at certain vertical intervals for the fastening of theprotective net 4 and a cover element. -
Figure 4c presents a side view of the top end of thefastener element 4a belonging to the invented solution.Figure 4c shows one of the fastening holes 10 of thefastening section 4b of the fastener element. Thefastening hole 10 is comprised of abottom groove 10a and aninstallation groove 10b. Theprotective net 4 placed in between each twovertical posts 3 has been arranged to fit securely into the bottom grooves of the fastening holes 10 by its horizontal bars, whereby theprotective net 4 will remain firmly attached onto the fencestructure fastener elements 4a. Theprotective nets 4 in this application example are such that their horizontal parts are comprised of two parallel metal bars, and their vertical parts of a single metal bar. Theprotective net 4 has been arranged to be installed into place via theinstallation grooves 10b. There is abottom groove 10a in the top edge of thefastener element 4a as well, where the topmost horizontal part of theprotective net 4 has been arranged to fit. -
Figure 5 presents a side view and a partial cutaway of the fitting of afastener part 4a belonging to the invented solution onto a verticalfence structure post 3. The vertical post is a metallic I-beam with acentral flange 3a, afirst end flange 3b, and asecond end flange 3c.Figure 5 only presents the top part of thevertical post 3. Onto thefirst end flange 3b of the I-beam pairs ofadapters 9 have been arranged at certain vertical intervals, of which one pair has been fitted close to the top end of the I-beam. Thus, there are always two adapter parts (9) at the same height on the I-beam. The first adapter part has been fitted around the first edge of the I-beam end flange, and the other adapter part has been fitted around the second edge of the I-beam end flange, whereby thefastener parts 9a of the adapter parts are fitted one against the other. Theadapter parts 9 at the same height can be attached one to the other via thefastener holes 9b by means of fastener elements, such as drilling screws. It is usually sufficient to fasten by a screw at eachfastener hole 9b, or fastening may not be required at all, because theadapter parts 9 are firmly locked around theend flange 3b due to their shape. The fastening of the adapter parts onto each other by a screw has been demonstrated infigures 6 ,7, and 8 . Infigure 5 theadapter parts 9 are viewed from the same direction as infigure 3d . - On top of the
adapter parts 9 fitted onto both edges of theend flange 3b asingle fastener element 4a has been fitted.Figure 5 only shows the fastener element of the other edge in a partial cutaway. Thefastener element 4a has been formed in a way that causes it to form lock firmly around theadapter parts 9. Theprotective net 4 has been fitted into the fastener holes 10 of thefastener element 4a.Fastener elements 4a can also be attached onto theother end flange 3c of thevertical post 3. -
Figure 6 presents a frontal view and a partial cutaway of the fitting of thefastener elements 4a onto thevertical post 3 of the fence structure and of the fastening of theprotective net 4 and thecover element 12 onto thefastener elements 4a. As explained in the explanation section tofigure 5 ,adapter parts 9 have been fitted onto theend flange 3b of thevertical post 3 on both edges of the flange at regular vertical intervals. Theadjacent adapter parts 9 have in this application example been fastened to each other by a single drilling screw.Fastener elements 4a have been fitted around both edges of thevertical flange 3b, on top of theadapter parts 9.Figure 6 additionally presents a part of a singleprotective net 4, which has been fitted onto the fastening holes of the first fastener element at its edge. -
Figure 7 presents a magnified and simplified top view of a part of a fence structure used as a traffic noise barrier, where one of the invented arrangement applications is in use. When viewed from the top, eachvertical post 3 is for example in the shape of an I-beam and placed into place in a way where thebeam centre flange 3a is running in the transverse direction of the longitudinal fence structure, i.e. in relation to the longitudinal direction of thenoise insulation elements 2. Thus, a space wider than thenoise insulation elements 2 is left in between the I-beam edge flanges noise insulation elements 2 has been placed.Adapter parts 9 have been fitted onto thevertical post 3 edge flanges at regular intervals. Oneadapter part 9 has been fitted close to the upper end of thevertical post 3, and one close to the lower end of thevertical post 3. As explained above, theadapter parts 9 are metallic support pieces bent into shape, by which afastener element 4a has been fitted to bothedge flanges vertical post 3. As explained above, theadapter element 4a is a metallic profile as long as or slightly shorter than thevertical post 3 and bent into shape, which has been arranged to centralise and support the ends of thenoise insulation element 2 when the end of thenoise insulation element 2 has been placed inside the I-beam. In addition, the vertical edge of theprotective net 4 has been arranged to be fitted into the fastening holes of thefastener element 4a. - The
fastening section 4b of thefastener element 4a is an essentially vertical flange in relation to thenoise insulation elements 2, the first outer edge of which extends slightly beyond thenoise insulation elements 2 and out of the I-beam end flange, approximately at the half-way point of the outer edge and centre point of the I-beam end flange. The other edge of thefastening section 4b of thefastener element 4a joins to thefirst support section 4c of the fastener element, which has been fitted on top of theadapter parts 9 fitted to the end flange of the I-beam. There is a 90 degree angle in the joint of thefastening section 4b and thefirst support section 4c of thefastener element 4a, where thefirst support section 4c has been arranged to align itself towards the outer edge of the I-beam end flange on top of theadapter parts 9. Thefirst support section 4c of thefastener element 4a, as well as theadapter parts 9, have been arranged to align themselves towards thenoise insulation elements 2 at the edge of the I-beam end flange, where the followingsecond support section 4d of the fastener element is perpendicular to thenoise insulation elements 2 on top of theadapter parts 9. There is a 90 degree angle in theadapter parts 9 and thesecond support section 4d of the fastener element close to thenoise insulation elements 2, after which thethird support section 4e of thefastener element 4a begins, which continues in the direction of the I-beam centre flange 3a parallel to thenoise insulation elements 2 on top of theadapter parts 9. There is an angle greater than 90 degrees, for example approximately 135 degrees, in thefastener element 4a close to the inner edges of theadapter parts 9. Thefastener element 4acompressive element 4f begins at this fold, which has been arranged by means of spring force to centralise and support thenoise insulation elements 2 in between the end flanges of the I-beam. At the same time, thecompressive elements 4f keep thefastener element 4a in place as well with its spring force. Thenoise insulation elements 2 have room to move in between the end flanges of the I-beam. Because of this and the flexibility of thefastener element 4acompressive element 4f, thermal expansion will not cause problems.Figure 7 also shows asingle cover element 12, which has been arranged to cover and protect the structures in between thefastener elements 4a and thefastener parts 4b. -
Figure 8 shows a similar structure to that infigure 7 , with the exception that in this application example thevertical post 3, i.e. the I-beam, is larger.Similar adapter parts 9 can however be fitted onto even this larger I-beam. In this case the supportingparts 9f of the adapter parts are supported by the inside of the I-beam end flange, whereas in the application example offigure 7 the supportingparts 9f are supported by the outside of the I-beam end flange. -
Figure 9 presents an oblique side view of a fencestructure cover element 12, andfigure 10 presents acover element billet 13. Thecover element 12 is comprised of acover part 12a and of twofastening parts 12b, which are aligned at a 90 degree angle to thecover part 12a. Thecover element 12 thus has a profile like a U-moulding. Thecover element 12 has been arranged to be bent into shape out of abillet 13. Thebillet 13 has twolines 13a which have been arranged to be used to make 90 degree folds into thebillet 13, forming thecover element 12 out of thebillet 13, as presented infigure 9 . -
Figure 11 presents a side view of a fencestructure cover element 12 and of afastener element 4a fastening section 4b. Thecover element 12 is essentially as long as thefastener part 4b, and there are lockingtongues 14 at regular vertical intervals on thefastener parts 12b of thecover element 12, the distance between which is essentially the same as the distance between the fastening holes 10 of thefastening section 4b. The lockingtongues 14 have been arranged to attach thecover element 12 onto thefastening sections 4b via the fastening holes 10. -
Figure 12 presents a side view of acover element 12 attached to thefastening sections 4b of afastener element 4a. Thecover element 12 has been dimensioned in a way that when twofastener elements 4a have been fitted onto a fence structurevertical post 3 and thecover element 12 is fitted to cover the space in between thefastening sections 4b of thefastener elements 4a, the inside surfaces of thefastener parts 12b of thecover element 12 are placed against the outer surfaces of thefastening sections 4b of thefastener elements 4a. The lockingtongues 14 of thecover element 12 have been arranged to be bent inwards through the fastening holes 10 of thefastener element 4a fastening sections 4b, so that thecover element 12 is firmly attached onto thefastening sections 4b of thefastener element 4a. It is possibly not necessary to bend all of the lockingtongues 14 of thecover element 12 through the fastening holes 10, as thecover element 12 will usually stay firmly in place with only some of the lockingtongues 14 bent. In the application example offigure 12 , the topmost, middle, andlowest locking tongues 14a of thecover element 12fastener part 12b have been bent through the fastening holes 10. - It is obvious to the person skilled in the art that the various applications of this invention are not limited to the examples mentioned above, but may vary within the framework set by the following patent claims. Therefore the various structures, lengths, shapes, and locking mechanisms of the profile elements may be very different from what has been presented above.
- It is also obvious to the person skilled in the art that there may be window and door structures in a barrier element, which animate the surface of the fence structure and provide the opportunity to see through the barrier and/or take a shortcut through it.
- It is also obvious to the person skilled in the art that only one side of a fence structure will be equipped with protective netting, meaning that only the vertical posts on the side with the netting will be equipped with the fastener elements and cover elements described above. The other side of the fence structure may therefore be different.
