Abstract

Structure for the protection of skylights, which is constituted by a metallic frame (1) of profile of straight or rectangular section and in keeping with the shape of the skylight to be protected. In each of the upper faces of said metal frame (1), two plates (2) of the same nature and along their entire length are fixed, by means of welding or screws (3) and between the frame (1) and the metal plates. (2) the ends of a metal mesh (4) that cover the entire surface of the frame (1) and therefore the hollow of the skylight are intertwined.

Description

Structure for the protection of skylights.

Object

The object to which the invention relates to protects in this Patent consists of a "Structure for skylight protection ", which prevents possible falls from people who are close to them and protect workers Against unsafe working conditions.

Background

Have one or more skylights on the roof of a building can mean significant savings in the consumption of light, since clarity can penetrate rooms that They generally do not have enough openings.

Normally skylights or gaps for passage of light are installed in community places or difficult to access, such as on rooftops, terraces, etc. and are constituted by translucent plastic or glass. According to current regulations must have a protection fence of 90 cm. surrounding the skylight when the possible fall of a person is greater than 2 m; normative They are not respected normally.

However, this fence does not guarantee the possible fall of any person who is working or is nearby from the terrace. Currently an increase in accidents that involve workers who fall through skylights has lifted concerns about hazards that are not being identified or properly controlling

For the drawbacks described above a structure for the protection of skylights is necessary that avoid possible falls of people and protect workers Against unsafe working conditions.

Description of the invention

The purpose of the invention that constitutes the The object of this patent is the elimination of some structural and functional problems of the object known, having been designed and developed attending to this priority objective.

The structure for skylight protection it is constituted by a metal frame normally of section square or rectangular, which adapts to the shape of the Skylight to protect. On the upper faces of the four sides of the frame, metal plates are fixed along its entire length by welding or screws, so that, between the frame and the metal plates intertwine the ends of the sides of a metal mesh that occupies the surface of the entire frame and by both of the skylight hole. The frame is fixed to the hollow of the skylight through through screws or embedded in the Small partition surrounding the skylight.

It should be noted that due to the needs of a greater security, two or more meshes can be interwoven metallic In this way, the structure is able to withstand the fall of one or more people and prevent them from occurring accidents

Brief description of the drawings

To complement the description of the invention and facilitate the interpretation of structural characteristics and functional of its object, accompanying drawings in which schematically represents a preferred embodiment of the structure for the protection of skylights that constitutes the object of this patent. In these drawings:

Description of a preferred embodiment

\hbox{reivindicada.}

In order to clearly show the nature and scope of the advantageous application of the skylight protection structure, which constitutes the object of the claimed invention, its structure is described below with reference to the drawings which, because it represents a preferred embodiment of said object, for informational purposes, should be considered in its broadest sense and not as limiting the application and content of the invention

 \ hbox {claimed.} 

The structure for skylight protection It is constituted by a metal frame (1) normally of section square or rectangular, which adapts to the shape of the Skylight to protect. On the upper faces of the four sides of the frame (1), metal plates (2) are fixed throughout length by welding or screws (3), so that, between the frame (1) and the metal plates (2) intertwine the ends of the sides of a metal mesh (4) that occupies the surface of the entire frame (1) and therefore of the hollow of the skylight, said mesh (4) being completely fixed between the frame (1) and the plates (2). The frame (1) is fixed to the hollow of the skylight through through screws (3) or fitted in the small partition that surrounds the skylight. The plates metallic (2) embrace the metal frame at one end (1), thus providing the whole with greater consistency.

It should be noted that due to the needs of a greater security, two or more meshes can be interwoven metallic (4). In this way, the structure is able to withstand the fall of one or more people and prevent them from occurring accidents

Claims (1)

1. Structure for the protection of skylights, characterized in that it is constituted by a metal frame (1) of straight or rectangular section profile and in line with the shape of the skylight to be protected; because on each of the upper faces of said metal frame (1), separate paths (2) of the same nature and in its entire length are fixed, by welding or screws (3) and because between the frame (1) and the metal plates (2) interlock the ends of a metal mesh (4) that occupy the entire surface of the frame (1) and therefore the skylight hollow, said mesh (4) being completely fixed between the frame (1) and the plates (2).
