RU199580U1 - MODULAR UNIT FOR GARDEN PATH - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to the design of removable coverings for garden paths, can be used in landscape design, for example, in suburban areas, in parks, squares, etc. A modular block for a garden path has a base 1 in the form of a rectangular (in the particular case, square) in terms of a lattice made of plastic or rubber. At the intersection of the rods on the lower side of the lattice, support posts 2 with axial holes are formed. Some of the support posts are at the same time guiding sockets for self-tapping screws 3, which screw the ends of block blocks 4 to the lattice, installed on the lattice from above, while being evenly distributed over the surface in accordance with the preliminary selection in diameter. Lumps can be made from tree trunks and thick branches. However, it is possible to use blocks calibrated by diameter. Block 4 is pretreated with an antiseptic. On two edges along the perimeter of the lattice there are covered elements - rods 5, perpendicular to the plane of the lattice, on the other two edges - enclosing elements, made, for example, in the form of rings 6 extending beyond the edges of the lattice. Installation of the track is maximally simplified, since they use ready-made blocks and it is not required to select chumps by diameter on the spot. All blockhouses are fixed with their ends on a sufficiently strong lattice. This ensures that the surface flatness is maintained during operation.

Description

The utility model relates to the construction of removable coverings for garden paths, can be used in landscape design, for example, in suburban areas, in parks, squares, etc.

Commonly known are concrete paving slabs used for paving footpaths. The tiles are durable in operation, but they are heavy, which complicates the delivery and installation of the coating and is not aesthetically pleasing.

In the arrangement of personal plots, plastic coatings are increasingly being used. For example, a modular plastic coating for Darel ERFOLG tracks is known [https://kursremonta.ru/zagorodom/gazonnaya-reshetka-dlya-dorozhek-na-dache-1065], assembled from rectangular gratings with stiffening ribs and special support columns on the underside to increase the bearing capacity. In the reinforced structure, the support posts have axial holes. On two adjacent edges of the perimeter of the lattice there are covered elements (legs), on the other two there are covering elements (brackets), with their help the modules are connected to each other, forming paths and platforms. These gratings are placed on a specially prepared cushion of sand and gravel. The coating is easily mounted on a prepared surface and is not very expensive. However, like any plastic, and even more so lattice, the coating is short-lived, does not tolerate heavy loads, and quickly overgrows with grass. The aesthetics of such modules can also be questioned.

The use of wood components to create garden paths is a modern trend. Such paths are environmentally friendly, have an original look and are relatively inexpensive. The tracks are made both from boards laid on logs and from cross cuts [https://dizainexpert.ru/landshaftnyj-dizajn/pro-sadovye-dorozhki-iz-dereva-dlya-dachnyx-i-kottedzhnyx-uchastkov/].

Known garden path, made from pre-treated with an antiseptic block blocks (short 15-20 cm pieces of tree trunks and thick branches), collected directly on the spot [https://zen.yandex.ru/media/silastroy/kak-sdelat-sadovuiu-dorojku -iz-spilov-dereva-samostoiatelno - 5b475dl3ebf84e00aalfef2b], selected as a prototype.

The blocks are installed with their ends on a prepared pillow, picking them up by diameter, filling the trench, and then slightly hammering them with a mallet. At the last stage, the free space between the blocks is filled with sand, screenings or soil.

Such a path, depending on the species of trees used and operating conditions, can last 7-10 years, has a unique look, fits into the landscape of a suburban area. The disadvantage of such a track is the low manufacturability of its manufacture: the selection of blocks in diameter in place and the manual installation of each block. In addition, the blocks are practically not connected with each other and over time, blocks of a smaller diameter, and, accordingly, having a smaller support area, will inevitably go deeper, and the track will lose the necessary flatness of the working surface.

The utility model is based on the task of expanding the arsenal of tools for the manufacture of garden paths and the creation of modular blocks from wooden blocks. The achieved technical result is an increase in the manufacturability of manufacturing a garden path from logs and at the same time maintaining the operational properties during use.

The problem is solved by the fact that the modular block for a garden path has a base in the form of a rectangular lattice made of polymer material, namely, plastic or rubber. Support posts with axial holes are formed at the intersection of the rods on the underside of the lattice. Some of the supporting posts are at the same time guiding sockets for self-tapping screws, which screw the ends of blocks of equal height to the lattice, and which are installed on the lattice from above. On two edges around the perimeter of the lattice, there are male elements, on the other two - female elements. These elements ensure the connection between the grids of adjacent blocks when installing the track.

If the lattice has different-sized sides (width and length), the covered elements are performed on two adjacent edges of the lattice, the enclosing elements - on the other two adjacent edges of the lattice. In the case of a square grid, the male elements can be provided on opposite edges of the grid. The male and female elements can be made in any manner acceptable for the purpose of creating a quick release connection. It can be a pair that forms a lock connection: a longitudinal shaped groove along the edge of the lattice and a counterpart - a longitudinal shaped ridge, for example, similar to those used for assembling a laminate. The simplest form is provided in special cases of execution, when the covering elements are made in the form of brackets or rings protruding beyond the perimeter of the lattice, and the covered elements are made in the form of rod elements oriented perpendicular to the plane of the lattice.

In order to better demonstrate the distinctive features of the utility model, the preferred embodiment is described below by way of an example that is not in any way restrictive. An example of implementation is illustrated by the figures, which show:

fig. 1 - modular block with calibrated blocks, plan view;

fig. 2 - the same, longitudinal section.

A modular block for a garden path has a base 1 in the form of a rectangular (in particular, square) lattice made of plastic or rubber. At the intersection of the rods on the lower side of the lattice, support posts 2 with axial holes are formed. Some of the support posts are at the same time guiding sockets for self-tapping screws 3, which screw the ends of block blocks 4 to the lattice, installed on the lattice from above, while being evenly distributed over the surface in accordance with the preliminary selection in diameter. Lumps 4 have the same height, they can be made from tree trunks and thick branches. However, it is possible to use blocks calibrated by diameter. In this case, the blocks are fixed on the lattice in a checkerboard pattern. Lumber blocks 4 are pre-treated with an antiseptic, for example, pressure impregnation is carried out.

On two edges along the perimeter of the lattice there are male elements - rods 5, perpendicular to the plane of the lattice, on the other two edges there are female elements, made, for example, in the form of rings 6 extending beyond the edges of the lattice.

The track is mounted as follows. Modular blocks are placed in a trench on a prepared pillow or simply on a leveled surface, shifting them relative to each other, if necessary, and connecting them together by introducing the rod elements of one modular block into the rings of another. Thus, the track width and configuration can be formed. The gaps between the blocks are covered with sand or gravel, or soil and compacted.

The track formed from modular blocks has a decorative look, since each saw cut has an individual pattern. The installation of the track is simplified as much as possible, since they use ready-made blocks and there is no need to select block blocks by diameter on the spot. All blockhouses are fixed with their ends on a sufficiently strong lattice. This ensures that the surface flatness is maintained during operation.
