Description

Technical field
The invention relates to light industry, and in particular to structures designed to protect flower beds, trees, as well as to support flowers and various plants in order to prevent their excessive bending.

State of the art
The technical solutions of the fences published in the magazine My Fine Garden 2/2000, pp. 54, 55, as well as fences for flowers and plants, information about which was published in the book, were selected as analogues. N.P. Titanium "YOUR GARDEN", ed. "Moscow Worker", 1991, p.147-149.

 Design features of known fences are the form of the structure of the fence, material, manufacturing technology, means of securing the sections of the fence to each other and fixing in the ground.

 The structure of the fence lattice is determined by its purpose. So, for example, decorative fencing, as a rule, is made of honeycomb, solid fencing is used as an external fence of any territory.

 The material used for the manufacture of fencing is diverse - it is metal, wood, and plastic. The difference lies not only in the cost of a particular material, but also in the processing technology and service life.

 Means of fastening fences between themselves and in the ground are often determined based on the technological capabilities of their manufacture and their cost.

 As the closest analogue, the design of the fence according to the book. N.P. Titanium "YOUR GARDEN". Known fencing contains at least one element having a lattice structure and made with hinged joints, some parts of which are located on one side of the element and others on its other side, and at least two legs located in lower part of the fence element.

 A disadvantage of the known solutions of fences is the limited technical capabilities due to the impossibility of their simultaneous use as fencing flowers, plants and tree trunks, as well as the complexity of the constructive implementation of the means of connecting the parts of the fence with each other, increased material consumption and complexity in operation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The task to which the invention is directed, is to expand technical capabilities, reduce costs and improve operating conditions. The technical result is to provide increased rigidity and the use of thin-walled strips of light material, such as plastic, in the use of hinges of the nodes of the connection sections of the fence between themselves, which are self-locking after assembly.

 To achieve the above technical result in solving the problem in a well-known fence containing at least one element having a lattice structure and made with hinged nodes of the joints, some parts of which are located on one side of the element, and others on the other side, and at least two legs located at the bottom of the fence element; the lattice structure of the fence element is formed of strips located at an angle to each other and connected at intersections with the possibility of forming a single part, some parts of the hinge joints of the fence element connections are made in the form of at least two axes, and others in the form of supports with holes for the possibility of placing the axes in the holes of the supports fixed on this element, while the strips and legs are made thin-walled with stiffeners located along their perimeter to allow the formation of ogre The deposition of a closed shape during the deformation of one element by connecting parts of the hinge nodes together.

Other embodiments of the invention are possible in which it is advisable that:
- fencing elements would be made of plastic;
- the axis of the hinge assemblies would be oriented in opposite directions with the possibility of placing them in the holes of the supports by changing in space the distance between the mentioned axes of the hinge assembly;
- legs would be made with additional stiffeners located in the middle part along the length of the legs;
- The upper boundary intersections of the strips would be rounded.

 These signs are significant and interconnected causal relationship with the formation of a set of essential features sufficient to achieve the specified technical result.

Disclosure of the invention
The invention is illustrated by a specific implementation example, which, however, is not the only possible, but clearly demonstrates the possibility of achieving this set of features of a technical result.

 Plastic elaboration of the fencing surfaces made it possible to finally obtain an image that makes it easy to distinguish this fencing from other similar ones.

 Figure 1 shows an example embodiment of the invention, according to which the fence contains an element 1, which has a lattice structure and is made with hinged nodes 2 connections. Some parts of the nodes 2 connections made in the form of axes 3 and are located on one side 7 of the element 1, and other parts made in the form of supports 5 with holes 6 to accommodate the axes 3, and are located on its other side 4 of the element 1.

 For fastening the elements 1 in the ground 8, at least two legs 9 are located in the lower part of each element 1.

 The lattice structure of the fencing element 1 is formed of strips 10 located at an angle to each other and connected at intersections with the possibility of forming a single part. Elements 1 fencing made of plastic.

 The strips 10 and legs 9 are made thin-walled with stiffening ribs 11 located along their perimeter to provide the possibility of formation of a closed-form fence during deformation of one element 1 by connecting parts of the hinge assemblies 2 to each other.

 The axis 3 of the hinge assemblies 2 located on one side 4 are oriented in opposite directions with the possibility of placing them in the holes 6 of the supports 5 by changing in space the distance between the said axes 3.

 The legs 9 are made with additional stiffening ribs 12 located in the middle part along the length of the legs 9.

 In order to exclude damage to plants, ribs and corners of the upper boundary points 13 of the intersections of the strips 10 are rounded.

 According to the invention, the fence operates as follows.

 In the case of fencing from one element 1, the parts of the nodes 2 of the connection located on different sides of the element 1 are interconnected with the possibility of forming from the fencing element a tube-like figure for covering tree trunks. In the case of fencing of a larger number of elements than one, sequentially arranged elements 1 are connected to each other with the formation of a closed shape. A curvilinear figure of a closed shape is drawn on the ground, the length of which along the perimeter is equal to the sum of the lengths of the elements 1 that make up the fence. Using the properties of the elastic deformation of the elements 1, deforming them in the form of fragments of a curved shape, the legs 9 are buried in the ground 8 and, as a result, a curly fence is obtained.

 To connect the fencing elements 1 to each other, the axles 3 of the hinge assemblies 2 located on one side 4 are placed in the holes 6 of the supports 5 by changing the distance between the said axes 3 in space. In this way, spontaneous disconnection of the hinge assemblies 2 is eliminated if one element 1 is accidentally shifted relative to of another.

 The use of stiffening ribs 11 and 12, together with thin-walled strips 10, allows to reduce the material consumption of the product, to reduce its weight and cost while increasing or maintaining the load-bearing capacity of the fence. The implementation of the legs with additional ribs 12 stiffness eliminates the possibility of breakage during operation of the fence.

 Covering the fence with a plant or a tree trunk or a plot of lawn form a local zone and distinguish it from a nearby territory.

 After that, the leaves or branches of bushes and pedicels of plants are carefully straightened and laid on undulating sections of the fence. The presence of several rows of lattice cells of elements 1 allows you to place leaves, pedicels and twigs in these cells.

 Adjusting the depth of the legs 9, change the height of the fence relative to the plant.

 The invention meets the criterion of "industrial applicability", since the manufacture of fencing is possible using existing means of production using known technologies.

 The proposed device is effective in operation, easy to manufacture and convenient to operate. The use of the device improves the aesthetic properties of the interior where such devices will be located. The design and technology of its manufacture are worked out for the conditions of mass production and meet the design requirements.

 The manufactured experimental batches of plant fencing confirm the above advantages. The claimed solution will find wide application for garden plants and flowers.
