Abstract

The invention concerns a snail-proof fence (1) which is secure but not harmful to animals. This snail-proof fence (1) is formed from a plastics strip (2) on which two or a plurality of metal plates (5, 6) are mounted at adequate spacings in the electrochemical contact series. It is possible to use other metal plates (5, 6) of conductive material which either releases dynamic electricity or is connected to a voltage source when a snail touches these plates and produces a bridging contact. Two or a plurality of non-conductive bars (4) between the metal plates (5, 6) prevent unintentional bridging by water or top soil. Reliable insulation is provided in that the plastics strip (2) is protected against rain by a shell-shaped or rectangular covering (7) which curves over the metal plates, and in that a stand (3) can possibly be fitted on the strip part close to the ground. The fence (1) is secured to the ground by plastics pins.

Description

BESCHREIBUNG DESCRIPTION
Schutzvorrichtung zur Sicherung von Kulturpflanzen vor SchneckenfraßProtection device to protect crops from snail damage
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Schutzvorrichtung zur Sicherung von Kulturpflanzen vor Schneckenfraß.The invention relates to a protective device for securing crops against snail damage.
Es ist bekannt, daß ein wirksamer Schutz von Kulturpflanzen vor Schneckenfraß bislang nur mit dem Einsatz von Giften möglich war. Wo eine natürliche Dezimierung durch Kleinsäugetiere- wie z. B. Igel, nicht gegeben ist, bleibt normalerweise als letztes Mittel nur das Sammeln der Schnecken von Hand.It is known that until now, effective protection of crop plants against slug feed was only possible with the use of poisons. Where natural decimation by small mammals such. B. hedgehog, is not given, the last resort is usually only the collection of snails by hand.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Schutzvorrichtung zur Sicherung von Kulturpflanzen vor Schneckenfraß zu entwickeln, welche die Anwendung von Giften oder sonstigen Chemikalien überflüssig macht und die Pflanzen vor Schnecken schützt, ohne daß diese durch den Schutz getötet werden.The invention has for its object to develop a protective device for securing crops against snail damage, which makes the use of poisons or other chemicals unnecessary and protects the plants from snails without these being killed by the protection.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht darin, daß an einem die Kulturpflanzen umgebenden Schneckenzaun mindestens zwei voneinander isolierte Bleche aus elektrisch leitfähigen Materialien, welche in der elektrochemischen Spannungsreihe eine genügende Entfernung voneinander haben, derart angebracht sind, daß bei Berührung der Bleche durch eine Schnecke eine Spannung auftritt. Vorteilhafterweise bestehen die Bleche aus Kupfer und Zink.The solution to this problem according to the invention is that at least two mutually insulated sheets of electrically conductive materials, which have a sufficient distance from one another in the electrochemical series of voltages, are attached to a snail fence surrounding the crop plants in such a way that a tension occurs when the sheets are touched by a snail occurs. The sheets are advantageously made of copper and zinc.
Schnecken pflegen auf dem Weg zu den Kulturpflanzen aufrechte bzw. wandför ige Hindernisse ohne weiteres zu überwinden. Diese Eigenart nützt die Erfindung aus, indem sie mit dem Schneckenzaun ein wandför iges Gebilde schafft, welches an seiner Außenseite, als an der der Kulturpflanze abgekehrten Seite, mit elektrisch leitfähigen Blechen bestimmte Materialien versehen ist. Diese Bleche müssen untereinander elektrisch isoliert sein. Deshalb sind sie voneinander distanziert angebracht, Die Anordnung ist so zu wählen, daß die Schnecke beim Überwinden des Schneckenzaunes mit beiden Blechen in Berührung kommen kann. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß die bei dieser gleichzeitigen Berührung auftretende elektrische Spannung genügt. Dadurch entsteht eine Verkrampfung der Schnecke, welche fortan nicht mehr fähig ist, denSnails maintain upright or wall-like obstacles easily on the way to the crops. This peculiarity is exploited by the invention in that it forms a wall-like structure with the screw fence creates, which is provided on its outside, as on the side facing away from the crop, with electrically conductive sheet metal certain materials. These sheets must be electrically insulated from one another. That is why they are attached at a distance from each other. The arrangement should be selected so that the snail can come into contact with both sheets when overcoming the snail fence. It has been shown that the electrical voltage occurring with this simultaneous contact is sufficient. This creates a cramp in the snail, which is no longer able to
Schneckenzaun zu überwinden. Diese Verkrampfung endet nicht tödlich.Overcome snail fence. This cramp does not end fatally.
In den Unteransprüchen sind zahlreiche Ausführungsformen und Gestaltungen der Erfindung aufgeführt, die in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert werden.Numerous embodiments and configurations of the invention are listed in the subclaims and are explained in more detail in the description below.
Die Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung schematisch und beispielsweise dargestellt. Es zeigen:The invention is shown schematically and for example in the drawing. Show it:

Ausgestaltung des Schneckenzaunes.Design of the snail fence.
Der erfindungsgemäße Schneckenzaun (1) besteht grundsätzlich aus einer aufrechten Leiste (2) mit einem Fuß (3) , die beide aus Kunststoff hergestellt sind und elektrisch isolierend wirken. An einer Außenseite der Leiste (2), und zwar an der der Kulturpflanze abgewandten Seite, befinden sich zwei Bleche (5,6) an der Leiste (2) aus elektrisch leitfähigen Materialien, welche in der elektrochemischen Spannungsreihe eine genügende Entfernung voneinander haben. Diese Bleche (5,6) dürfen sich nicht berühren und sind folglich von einem Steg (4) voneinander distanziert, der mit der Leiste (2) verbunden ist.The screw fence (1) according to the invention basically consists of an upright bar (2) with a foot (3), both of which are made of plastic and have an electrically insulating effect. On an outside of the bar (2), namely on the side facing away from the crop, there are two sheets (5,6) on the bar (2) made of electrically conductive materials, which in the electrochemical voltage series have a sufficient distance from each other. These sheets (5, 6) must not touch each other and are therefore spaced from each other by a web (4) which is connected to the bar (2).
Bevorzugt bestehen die Bleche (5, 6) einerseits aus Kupfer und andererseits aus Zink. Es können aber auch beliebig andere Leiterwerkstoffe verwendet werden, wenn sie die Eigenschaft haben, eine Spannung auftreten zu lassen, wenn eine Schnecke beide Bleche (5,6) berührt. Es sollte natürlich auch sichergestellt werden, daß die Bleche (5, 6) vor äußeren Einflüssen geschützt werden, welche zur Verbindung der Bleche (5,6) führen können. Um beispielsweise aufwachsende Pflanzen davor zu bewahren, die beiden Bleche (5,6) zu berühren, ist der einzelne Fuß (3) des Schneckenzaunes (1) verhältnismäßig breit ausgeführt. Dadurch soll die Möglichkeit gegeben werden,beim Rasenmähen über den Fuß (3) zu fahren und das Hochwachsen von Gras in Richtung zu den Blechen (5, 6) zu vermeiden. Auf eben diese Weise soll eine Uberbrückung desThe sheets (5, 6) preferably consist of copper on the one hand and zinc on the other hand. However, any other conductor materials can also be used if they have the property of causing tension when a screw contacts both sheets (5, 6). It should of course also be ensured that the sheets (5, 6) are protected from external influences which can lead to the connection of the sheets (5,6). In order, for example, to prevent growing plants from touching the two sheets (5, 6), the individual foot (3) of the snail fence (1) is designed to be relatively wide. This should give the possibility to drive over the foot (3) when mowing the lawn and to prevent grass growing up towards the plates (5, 6). In this way, a bridging of the
Abstandes der Bleche (5, 6) durch Spritzwasser, Regenwasser oder Erdkrume verhindert werden.The distance between the sheets (5, 6) can be prevented by splashing water, rainwater or earth crumb.
Kriecht eine Schnecke unter das untere Blech (6) und den angrenzenden Steg (4) und berührt dann das obere Blech (5) , dann stellt sie durch ihren Körper eine leitendeA snail creeps under the lower plate (6) and the adjacent web (4) and then touches the upper plate (5), then it creates a conductive through her body
Verbindung zwischen den Blechen (5,6) her. Bei Ausbildung der Bleche (5,6) aus Kupfer und Zink beträgt die auftretende galvanische Spannung ca. 1,28 Volt.Connection between the sheets (5,6). When the sheets (5,6) are made of copper and zinc, the galvanic voltage that occurs is approximately 1.28 volts.
Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, die Bleche (5,6) an eine elektrische Energieversorgung, z. B. an eine Batterie, anzuschließen, derart, daß bei Berührung der Bleche durch eine Schnecke ein Potentialausgleich eintritt.Of course, it is also possible to connect the sheets (5, 6) to an electrical power supply, e.g. B. to connect to a battery, such that equipotential bonding occurs when the sheets are touched by a screw.
Um die Bleche (5,6) gegenüber Regen, Schnee oder sonstigen äußeren Einflüssen zu schützen, schließt sich an die Leiste (2) eine Uberdeckung (7) an.To protect the sheets (5,6) against rain, snow or other external influences, the Strip (2) a cover (7).
Im Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 3 sind einige Varianten der Erfindung gezeigt, die sowohl einzeln als auch in Kombination zueinander angewandt werden können.In the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 3, some variants of the invention are shown, which can be used both individually and in combination with one another.
So ist es beispielsweise zweckmäßig, die Leiste (2) und den Fuß (3) als selbständige Bauteile auszubilden, die über das Verbindungsmittel (9) zusammengefügt werden können. Dadurch kann man die einzelne Leiste (2) beliebig lang gestalten und mit zwei oder mehr Füßen (3) verbinden, um auf diese Weise einen Schneckenzaun (1) wählbarer Länge zu schaffen. Das Verbindungsmittel (9) ist schematisch als Schnappverschluß dargestellt. Es eignen sich selbstverständlich alle Formen von Verbindungsmitteln, die einerseits eine leichte Verbindung ermöglichen und andererseits genügend Festigkeit vermitteln.For example, it is expedient to design the strip (2) and the foot (3) as independent components that can be joined together using the connecting means (9). This allows the individual bar (2) to be of any length and connected with two or more feet (3) in order to create a snail fence (1) of a selectable length. The connecting means (9) is shown schematically as a snap lock. Of course, all forms of connecting means are suitable, which on the one hand enable an easy connection and on the other hand impart sufficient strength.
Wie die Figur 3 zeigt, kann der einzelne Fuß (3) auch mit einem Dorn (10) versehen sein, der in das Erdreich eingetrieben wird und damit dem Fuß (3) genügend Halt vermittelt.As FIG. 3 shows, the individual foot (3) can also be provided with a mandrel (10) which is driven into the ground and thus provides the foot (3) with sufficient support.
In Figur (3) ist ferner dargestellt, daß die Überdeckung (7) über ein anderes Verbindungsmittel (8) lösbar mit der Leiste (2) verbunden werden kann. Diese Maßnahme hat den Sinn, die Überdeckung (7) als gestalterisches Element auszubilden und damit den optischen Eindruck des Schneckenzaunes (1) zu verbessern.In figure (3) it is also shown that the covering (7) can be releasably connected to the bar (2) by another connecting means (8). This measure has the sense of forming the covering (7) as a design element and thus improving the visual impression of the snail fence (1).
Beim Beispiel der Figur (3) ist der Steg (4) gegenüber der Ausführungsform von Figur 2 wesentlich schmäler und kürzer ausgebildet. Dadurch soll der Schnecke die Möglichkeit gegeben werden, leichter von einem Blech (6) zum anderen Blech (5) zu gelangen, so daß der Steg (4) kein Hindernis darstellt. Vorteilhafterweise besitzt das obere Blech (5) eine größe¬ re Fläche als das untere Blech (6), was bei Versuchen zu einer größeren Wirkung des Schneckenzaunes (1) geführt hat.In the example of FIG. 3, the web (4) is designed to be substantially narrower and shorter than the embodiment in FIG. This is intended to give the screw the possibility of getting from one sheet (6) to the other sheet (5) more easily, so that the web (4) is not an obstacle. The upper plate (5) advantageously has a larger area than the lower plate (6), which has led to a greater effect of the screw fence (1) in experiments.
Die Befestigung der Bleche (5,6) am Schneckenzaun (1) bzw. an der Leiste (2) sollte ebenfalls mit Hilfe lösbarer Verbindungsmittel (11) erfolgen. Dies können beispielsweise Stifte, Noppen oder dergleichen sein, die sich an der Leiste (2) befinden und in entsprechende Bohrungen der Bleche (5, 6) eindringen. Die Erfindung schließt aber die Verwendung anderer Befestigungsmittel keineswegs aus. So ist es beispielsweise denkbar, die Ränder der Bleche (5,6) in passende Nuten der Leiste (2) einzudrücken und eine Klemmverbindung herbeizuführen. The sheets (5, 6) should also be attached to the screw fence (1) or to the bar (2) using detachable connecting means (11). These can be pins, knobs or the like, for example, which are located on the bar (2) and penetrate into corresponding bores in the metal sheets (5, 6). The invention in no way excludes the use of other fastening means. For example, it is conceivable to press the edges of the sheets (5, 6) into suitable grooves in the strip (2) and to bring about a clamp connection.
