Description "Strip for flood defense"

Rubber or plastic strip, consisting of a rubber or plastic profile and rubber or plastic string.

The invention relates to a rubber or plastic strip, consisting of a rubber or plastic profile and tendon with which, in combination with plastic foil or otherwise, a liquid-tight closure or connection can be realized.

The strip can be attached to walls of buildings, processed in concrete, 10 bitumen or otherwise and, in combination with plastic film, it can replace the so-called sandbag method (sand-filled bags and combination with plastic film).

The object of the invention is to be able to quickly protect buildings against flooding during flooding. In practice, however, the invention will have a broader scope 15 (construction sector, chemical sector).

The strip consists of two parts: • the rubber or plastic profile • the rubber or plastic tendon

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to drawings.

2o Figure 1

The rubber or plastic profile 1 is attached to or on the walls of one or more buildings with mounting material. If necessary, a sealing kit 2 can be incorporated at the rear of the profile for a good liquid-tight connection.

25 In some situations, the profile can also be incorporated in the sidewalk or in the street to avoid possible obstacles on the walls of buildings.

At high water, the rubber or plastic string 3 is removed from profile 1. The plastic foil 4 is pressed into the recess 5 of the profile 1. The tendon 3 is then pressed or knocked into the recess 5 of the profile. This creates a liquid-tight connection between profile, foil and wall, road or pavement.

The foil 4 is then worked up (possibly over a sidewalk or road) along the wall or walls and attached to wall hooks 7 with the foil eyelets 6. Other fasteners can also be used for foil eyes 6 and hooks 7.

5 In this way, a temporary water-retaining wall can be quickly created to protect buildings against high water or other liquids.

Figures 3, 4, 5 and 6

For the temporary raising of dikes or otherwise, the strip and tendon are processed in concrete or asphalt strips 8, which may be anchored with posts 11 in the subsoil. The foil 4 is then attached over the temporary support wall, which may consist of steel cables 10 and plastic or otherwise panels 9. Another application is shown in figure 6. Plastic panels 12 which are tendon-shaped at the bottom and are placed directly in the strip.

Figure 7 This patent application also relates to the double version of the strip. In the double embodiment, the part of the strip that is not used for the passage of the plastic foil is used to place the plastic walls 15 with tendon-shaped bottom 14. In this way, the plastic panels are secured at the bottom against slipping. The panels are supported by 20 support plates or posts 13, which may or may not be part of the plastic panels. Recesses 16 are provided in the concrete strip 8, which serve to secure the supporting plates or posts.

Claims (1)

Strip for protection of buildings against high water, (replacing the so-called 'sandbag method' where bags filled with sand and plastic foil protect 5 buildings against high water), characterized in that it is made of rubber or plastic and which is attached directly to can be placed in or on the walls of buildings or in or on the sidewalk or road surface for the protection of buildings, or in combination with other structures for the temporary raising of quays and dikes. The double strip is used for quickly setting up temporary sheet piling, in which a watertight wall can be created in combination with the action of the single strip. 1005327
