FR2839991A1 - Wind break for halting advance of desert sands comprises staggered rows of artificial trees made from recycled plastics and used tyres - Google Patents

Abstract

The wind break consists of artificial trees made from recycled plastics and other materials, designed to simulate local trees such as palms. Each tree has a base (4) that is buried in thr ground, a trunk made from one or more pipe sections (2, 3) filled with sand, and a top (1) with holes (6) for inserting artificial palm leaves or branches. The trunk sections can be cut in half lengthwise for ease of transport and held together when assembled with the aid of used tyres.

Description

o include butons (B2) connecting the two legs.

  / Windbreak barriers made up of dummy trees in plastic or other materials to contain the advance of the Desert 1 The present invention consists in the creation of all parts from one or more rows of dummy trees, in plastic or other materials; imitating, by the volumes, the colors, the mechanical resistance

  to the action of the wind, and consequently ltensibly.

  The choice and the reasons for the installation of this type of multiple wind barriers and the certain results, and the reasons in the first place; dummy trees do not need to be watered, are not eaten by fauna, volumes, heights or growth will be immediate without having to wait a life in the case of natural plants Trees to install (dummies) to form a barrier must be facsimile of local trees, that is to say that we must respect the aesthetic factor of the place, without harming the landscape by planting palm trees in Siberia or cedars in the Sahara! The thinned barriers may, in particular, be windproof, or, in the present invention, as almost impassable barriers to the sabe; made from recycled plastics

  pipes and branches quickly replaced in the event of heavy or wear.

  (Recycled plastics see my patent no. 0109186 France as well 2 0 1ibelle "Artificial magnetization of non-magnetic products". This patent will allow the recycling of almost all plastics which can be transformed into dummy trees (To date, their re-use

  proves difficult because you don't know what to do with it!).

  My invention relates to a windbreak barrier formed by several 2 5 palm trees in plastic or other material, arranged in alternating lines for

  form a wind filter and cause the suspended sand to precipitate on the ground.

  1 Figure 1, diagrammatically, shows a barrier formed by plastic palm trees in place. FIGS. 2 and 3 show the details of the mounting of the palm trees, as follows: embedment of the trunk-pipe (3) in one piece in the base (4) preventively buried and leveled, filling of sand in the said pipe and, in -quite; b) embedding a pipe (2) or more to allow the extension in the event of considerable danger; in this case, the tree trunk is a set of nestable pipes; en-quite, sand filling; c) embedding of the head (1), which may have the shape of a

  pineapple and holes (6), on the pipe (2 or 3).

  d) FIG. 3 shows the cells 6 in which the

leaf tips 7.

  Figure 4 shows the pipes (2-3) cut in parts (8-9 or more) lengthwise, this to facilitate transport and

installation of trunks-pipes.

  Figure 5 shows tires (12) used with a triple function: 1 5 1) to hold the two parts of the pipes (8-9), 2) to strengthen the trunk, 3) to reuse usefully tires which are not salted not what to do I 2 Finally, the guying of the palm tree can be carried out using the

  O cables (10111 and 13 not shown in the drawing).

Claims (1)

CLAIMS 1 1) Windbreak device constituted by a set of artificial plastic trees or other materials, imitating in their aspect the natural essences of the place, and having the function of obstructing the wind and causing the sand to precipitate on the ground impact. 2) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that - the check tree trunk, is a pipe (3) in one piece on which is embeded a head (1), the whole being embedded on the base (4). I 3) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the? ' trunk of the tree is in two parts (2-3) or more, nestable to allow the extension in case of silting up. ? 4) Device according to claim 2 or 3 characterized in that the truncated pipe of the tree can be cut (fig. 4) in two or more lengthwise to promote transport to the places of use. The reassembiage of the pipe thus cut will be carried out   1 5 possibly using used tires (12 - fig. 5).   ) device is claiming 2 characteristics in that the palm head (1) can have the shape of a pineapple with several holes (6) in which palms (7) or dummy branches will be installed. ! i!
