  Delimiting element, especially for separation

outdoor surfaces.

  The invention relates to a delimiting element for delimiting

  miter or separate different surfaces, especially

outdoors.

  Such delimiting elements are used in particular to separate or delimit grass surfaces of other

  used surfaces Until now, this was not possible

  only with concrete slabs and stones

  path border and deep stone borders.

  But these are generally very high so that garden owners often give up the use of such delimitation elements that are unpleasant to the eye, which, moreover, constitute dangerous borders that are blocked. concrete for the delineation, it is necessary to dig large holes to put them and most of the time use foundation concrete

  or concrete supports to give them good stability

ity.

  The object of the invention is to provide an element of deli-

  to delimit or separate over-

  pleasing to the eye, which is easy to assemble

and have great stability.

  This goal is achieved by the fact that the section surface

  cross-section is usually narrower on the tour-

  born to the upper face than in the rest so

  the cross-sectional area is in general

  wider on the side facing the base surface than on the side facing the upper face. Thanks to this wedge-shaped configuration of the delimiting elements, it is possible to give them less height, which simplifies and facilitates significantly the

  Because of their reduced height, the quantity of

  land to be excavated, that is to say, the work of exca-

  It is much less important than when using the known delimitation elements. No special foundations, for example concrete, or concrete side supports are needed. The delimitation elements are introduced directly into the excavated holes; if necessary, put in the holes, which can be very flat, a sub-layer of sand or the analog After the laying of the delimiting elements, one completes on each side, as needed, with sand or earth and Hydraulic backfilling Because of their wedge shape, the boundary elements are driven into the ground like pegs, which gives them

great stability.

  Preferably, the delimiting element of the invention is placed so that its upper surface is flush with the ground, which avoids having to resize the area.

of a lawn.

  The advantageous wedge shape of the delimiting elements according to the invention also has the effect that the pressures

they can not switch.

  According to an advantageous development of the invention, the delimiting element comprises at least one recess extending in the longitudinal direction. Thus, the base surface is provided for example with a groove and can be placed on drainage pipes or watering which are preferably in

  plastic material, which, during assembly, facilitates

  the alignment of the delimiting elements, fixed in their position the elements placed and

lateral stability.

  To delimit lawns, it is advantageous to use

  delimiting elements in which at least one of the lateral surfaces extends at least partially

  oblique to the base surface This is often

  wind the case for both side surfaces, so that the cross-section of the delimiting elements has the

  shape of a trapezoid or a truncated triangle.

  The invention will be well understood on reading the description of

It is an elongate body that can be made in pieces or continuously, with a cross-section having the shape of a triangle whose The upper surface 1 extends parallel to the base surface 2 and is, in principle, smaller than the base surface 2. In the delimiting element shown in Fig. 1b, a lateral surface 6 perpendicularly to the base surface 2 and the other side surface 5 makes with the upper surface 1 an angle less than 900

  front surfaces 30 is provided with a groove 31 se-

  extending vertically from the base surface 2 to the upper face 1, while the opposite end surface 32

  is provided with a tongue 33 corresponding to the groove 31.

  This type of delimiting element can be placed on a

  solid basement, for example stone or the like.
