Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. The technical field of the invention

The present invention relates to the strengthening of slopes of slopes, namely for the protection and landscaping of slopes.

2. Description of the prototype

The construction of a conventional slope consists of cement, stone, reinforcement, sand and soil. The process of creating a slope is complicated. It requires the use of live labor to secure molding slabs for cement pouring. After pouring cement, it should be fenced to give it shape and hardening. In addition, after the slope is made, it is necessary to carry out its landscaping, i.e. carry out landscape engineering to prevent rain from washing out soil from the surface of the slope. The construction of a conventional concrete slope does not allow water to pass through. Therefore, an additional water drainage system is needed. The effect of water drainage is imperfect, because the system can be clogged with soil and stones, which will lead to leaching of the soil from the surface by rainwater. Sometimes a large amount of water accumulates in the soil on the slopes, which leads to mud flows and landslides that destroy the construction of the slope.

Thus, it can be seen that the construction of a conventional slope is complex, and it takes a lot of time to create it. The concrete structure is environmentally friendly and unattractive, and also easily damaged. In addition, the design of a conventional slope adversely affects the environment.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention should eliminate the disadvantages of the prototype. The main objective of this invention is to propose the design of the sod reinforcement of the slope for landscaping, so as to achieve the effect of environmental protection and attractive appearance and to strengthen and protect the slope.

In accordance with this invention, there is provided a design of sod reinforcement of a slope, including containers placed on the surface of a slope, a filler with which containers and fasteners are filled. The containers are supplied with plant seeds, a filler consisting of soil for growing plants, with which containers placed on the surface of the slope are filled, and fasteners pass through the containers and fix them on the slope, which provides protection and landscaping of the slope.

Plant seeds are sown on the surface of the containers, mixed with a filler, which fill the containers or spread between the containers.

The containers are air- and water-permeable, which promotes plant growth.

Soil for plants consists of earth, mineral soil of organic origin or any material that promotes plant growth.

In addition, the filler includes an absorbent material. This absorbent material is designed to preserve moisture for plants.

Each of the fasteners is a round-head nail, a dowel-bolt, a spiral nail or a nail with a washer. If necessary, any of the fasteners may have a hook. Fasteners securely hold containers to the slope.

Each of the containers is made in the form of a separate block or timber. Containers in the form of a separate beam are laid longitudinally from the top of the slope down. The lower part of the containers is laid with soil. Containers made in the form of individual bars can be stacked laterally along the slope. A connecting screed connects adjacent containers and secures them in the transverse direction. Connecting ties have protrusions or protrusions with hooks that cling to the top or bottom of adjacent containers. Connecting ties can be with a central hole. Fasteners can be inserted into it.

Compared with the prototype, this invention has the following advantages.

1. This invention allows you to cover the entire slope or part of the slope, providing coverage for planting, strengthens and protects the slope, and also allows for landscaping and improve the appearance of the slope.

2. The materials used in this invention are environmentally friendly, they can be used on any natural slopes, such as concrete, stone or earth, protecting the ecology of plants, improving air and absorbing heat and noise.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Now we offer a description of the methods of carrying out the present invention, only by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the construction of the sod reinforcement of the slopes in accordance with the first preferred application of the present invention includes a number of containers 2 laid on the surface of the slope 1, a filler 3 with which the containers 2 are filled, some seeds 4, and fasteners 5.

The container 2 is made in the form of a block that allows air and moisture to pass through. Filler 3 does not spill out of container 2, and soil outside the container does not fall into the container. The container 2 is filled with filler 3. Filler 3 is a mixture of soil for growing plants and absorbent material.

The soil for growing plants in the filler 3 is a soil or mineral soil of organic origin. The absorbent material of the filler 3 is an absorbent polymer. In this method of application, the seeds of the plants 4 are mixed with the filler 3. The soil for growing plants and the absorbent material in the filler 3 provide the necessary amount of nutrients and moisture for germinating the seeds of the plants 4. The roots of the plants grow down and pass through the bottom of the container 2 into the soil of slope 1 , while the stems and leaves of the plants grow up and pass through the top of the container 2.

To put the present invention into practice, the filler 3 must consist of plant soil and absorbent material, and the container 2 is filled with plant seeds 4 in the form of a separate block. The containers 2 are laid on the surface of the slope 1. To secure the container 2 on the slope 1 through the container 2, at least one fastener is installed. Containers 2 installed on the slope 1, provide protection of the slope and its landscaping.

According Figa-8e fastener 5 may be a nail (as shown in Fig.8a), a nail with a hook (as shown in Fig.8b), dowel-bolt (as shown in Fig.8c), a spiral nail (as shown in Fig.8d) or a nail with a washer 51 (as shown in Fig.8e). The fastener 5 is inserted through the container 2 and prevents the containers from slipping and gaps, allowing you to create an integrated slope design.

Figure 2 is a schematic view of a second preferred method of application of the present invention, which is very similar to the first except as will be discussed below. Plant seeds 4 are not mixed with filler 3. Seeds 4 are sown on the surface of each container 2 after the containers 2 are laid on slope 1. Plant soil and absorbent material in filler 3 provides the necessary amount of nutrients and moisture for germinating plant seeds 4. The roots of plants sprout down.

Figure 3 is a schematic view of a third preferred method of application of the present invention, which is very similar to the previous two with the exception of what will be discussed below. The container 2 is made in the form of a separate bar. The container 2 is installed on the slope 1 from top to bottom, and the lower part of the container 2 may be covered with earth (or may not be filled). The number of fasteners 5 depends on the steepness of slope 1 and they must hold containers 2 on slope 1. In this case, the seeds of plants 4 are mixed with filler 3. Container 2, filler 3, fasteners 5 are the same as in the described examples and hereinafter we we will not talk about them.

Figure 4 is a schematic view of a fourth preferred method of applying the present invention, which is very similar to the third except as will be discussed below. The seeds of plants 4 are not mixed with the filler 3. They are sown on the surface of each container 2 after the containers 2 are laid on the slope 1.

5 is a schematic view of a fifth preferred method of application, which is very similar to the third, except as discussed below. Between two adjacent containers 2, several screeds 6 are installed to secure the containers 2 to the slope 1. In this method, the seeds of the plants 4 are mixed with the filler 3 and then the containers 2 are filled with them.

As shown in FIGS. 9a and 9b, the connecting screed 6 is a plate with at least two protrusions 61, which are used to join the containers 2. There may be a hook 62 on each protrusion 61. In addition, the connecting screeds 6 can be holes 63 for installing fasteners 5 for reliable fixation of the screed 6 on the slope 1.

As shown in FIGS. 10a and 10b, the protrusion 61 or the protrusion 61 with the hook 62 on the connecting screed 6 without a hole is attached to the bottom of two adjacent containers 2. As shown in FIGS. 10c and 10d, the protrusion 61 or the protrusion 61 with the hook 62 of the connecting couplers 6 with an opening 63 connects the upper parts of two adjacent containers 2. Fasteners are installed through holes 63 in order to attach the coupler 6 to the slope 1. As shown in FIGS. 10e and 10f, the protrusion 61 or the protrusion 61 with the hook 62 of the coupler 6 with the hole 63 connects the lower parts of two adjacent x containers 2. As shown in FIGS. 10g and 10h, the fasteners are inserted through holes 63, attaching the connecting screed 6 to the slope 1. The protrusion 61 or the protrusion 61 with the hook 62 is designed to connect two adjacent containers 2.

6 is a schematic view of a sixth preferred application method of the present invention, which is similar to the fifth method except as discussed below. Plant seeds 4 are not mixed with filler 3. Plant seeds 4 are sown on the surface of each container 2 after the containers 2 are laid on slope 1.

In addition, the seeds of plants 4 can be sown between adjacent containers 2. This has the same effect as sprouting and growing plants without any restrictions.

7 is a schematic view of a seventh preferred method of applying the present invention, which is similar to the third except as discussed below. Containers in the form of bars 2 are laid across the slope of slope 1. In this method, connecting ties for adjacent containers are also used, and planting of seeds is carried out in the same way as in the methods described above.

As shown in FIGS. 1-6, after the slope has been strengthened using the present invention, the soil and absorbent filling material 3 need to be watered so that they remain moist for a long time. Even in the dry season, the filler 3 can deliver moisture to the seeds of plants 4. The seeds of plants 4 are sown and germinated throughout the top of the container 2, and the roots of the plants grow down and pass through the bottom of the container 2 into the soil of slope 1. If the slope 1 is covered with soft material, as the earth, the roots and stems of plants go into the land of the slope 1, forming a constant natural cover of the slope. If the slope is made of a solid material such as stone and concrete, this invention also allows landscaping of such a slope. Containers 2, adapted for growing plants, are installed on the slope 1, preventing leaching of the earth and improving the appearance of the environment, protecting the environment and creating the effect of landscaping.

This invention allows you to cover the entire slope or part of it, providing a green vegetation cover, strengthening and protecting the slope, as well as giving it a green and picturesque appearance. The materials used in this invention are environmentally friendly, they can be used on natural slopes, such as concrete, stone or earthen, providing ecological landscaping that improves air and absorbs heat and noise.

Despite the fact that specific methods of application of the present invention have been described in detail, illustrating the most varied options, there may be others, maybe more successful, but they only reinforce the spirit of the invention and do not go beyond its scope. Therefore, this invention is not limited except by the attached claims.
