Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of landscape barriers, and particularly to the design of flexible landscape edging, and more particularly to the design of flexible landscape edging utilizing tapered stakes for attachment to the soil in which the tapered stakes are removably attached to the flexible strip portion of the edging.
- This invention relates to the problem of segregating an area of a garden or landscape scheme from a dissimilar neighboring landscape.
- the invention also relates to the problems that arise when flexible edging materials are used which require stakes for attachment of the edging to the soil. More particularly, this invention addresses the problem of manufacturing and delivering to the customer flexible landscape edging that requires stakes for attachment to the soil.
- landscape barrier systems currently available, including wooden logs, flexible metal strips, flexible plastic strips, clay forms, stone, and brick. All of these systems are known to satisfactorily segregate the landscape schemes with certain differences noted in their overall performances.
- the systems can be used to block the growth of roots between vegetation and incompatible neighboring vegetation, or between vegetation and a non-living landscape scheme. For this application, it is advisable to place the edging system low into the soil to block the growth of roots across the edging line.
- the systems can also be used to decoratively segregate dissimilar landscape schemes where root blocking is not the objective. In these instances, it is not necessary to place the edging as deeply into the soil.
- the tapered stakes are positioned intermittently along the length of the flexible strip, and at its end to lock a first length of flexible strip to a second length of flexible strip.
- They are made of a metal gage that is thicker than that of the edging portion.
- a primary disadvantage of the existing systems is the difficulty of manufacturing the flexible strips separately from the tapered stakes. It requires substantial time, effort, and expense to punch the tapered stakes separately, wasting raw materials and tooling, and resulting in the generation of unnecessary material waste.
- An additional disadvantage of the existing systems is the difficulty of painting the flexible strips separately from the tapered stakes.
- An additional disadvantage of the existing systems is the difficulty of packaging the flexible strips separately from the tapered stakes. This again requires substantial time, effort, and expense to package the tapered stakes separately, and results in the generation of unnecessary material waste.
- An additional disadvantage is that since the tapered stakes are shipped as a required accessory at no extra charge, they are not bar coded or entered into store inventories. For the store selling the stakes, this results in a serious tracking problem.
- An additional disadvantage of the existing systems is encountered by the landscaper who desires to install the system and must pick up the tapered stakes separately. This requires that the landscaper and/or the retail representative calculate the number of stakes required.
- An additional disadvantage of the existing systems is that manufacturers are required to over-ship an excess quantity of stakes to correct for improper distributions of the inventory, incurring all of the related cost to manufacture, paint, package, and ship these units.
- An additional disadvantage of the existing systems is that the shipper, retailer, and purchaser have multiple items of multiple sizes to carry, handle, and store.
- An additional disadvantage of the existing systems is that the thicker stakes require inventory of a separate material thickness, and are heavier, and therefore more costly to ship.
- An additional disadvantage of the existing systems is that the stake pocket openings must be slightly larger than the thicker stakes, within a relatively small tolerance range so that the stakes will fit into the pockets without being too loose.
- a primary advantage of the present invention is that it eliminates the need to manufacture the flexible strip portions of the system separately from the tapered stakes, thus saving substantial time, effort, raw materials, waste generation and related expenses.
- An additional advantage of the present invention is that it eliminates the need to paint the flexible strips separately from painting the tapered stakes, thus saving substantial time, effort, raw materials, waste generation and related expenses associated with a separate painting process.
- An additional advantage of the present invention is that it eliminates the need to package and ship the flexible strips separately from the tapered stakes, thus saving substantial time, effort, raw materials, waste generation and related expenses associated with separate packaging and shipping processes.
- An additional advantage of the present invention is that the tapered stakes are shipped attached to the flexible strip portion, thus eliminating a need to separately inventory and account for the number of stakes at the retail store.
- An additional advantage of the present invention is that the landscaper who desires to install the system does not have to be concerned about picking up the right quantity of tapered stakes.
- An additional advantage of the present invention is that manufacturers are not required to over-ship any quantity of stakes to correct improper distributions of the inventory, thus reducing all of the costs associated with manufacturing, painting, packaging, and shipping the surplus inventory of stakes.
- An additional advantage of the present invention is that the shipper, retailer, and purchaser have fewer items of a single size to carry, handle, and store, which saves space on trucks and store displays.
- An additional advantage of the present invention is that the stakes can be made of a thinner material, and of the same material as the edging portion. This eliminates the need for a separate raw material inventory of a separate material thickness, and saves money in shipping costs.
- An additional advantage of the present invention is that the stake pocket openings can be smaller than the stakes, have a relatively large tolerance range, and allow for an interference fit of the stakes within the stake pockets.
- a landscape edging system having an edging portion, a plurality of stakes removably attached to the edging portion, and a plurality of notch-tab configurations located on the edging portion.
- Each notch-tab is capable of receiving a stake.
- each stake has at least one lengthwise stiffening rib.
- removal of the attached stakes leaves a first extension on one end of the edging portion, diagonally opposite and matching to a second extension on the opposite end of the edging portion. This permits construction of a continuous edging structure by end-to-end interlocking connection of edging pieces.
- primary tabs removably connect the stakes to the edging portion.
- secondary tabs removably connect the stakes to each other.
- FIG. 1 is a front view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, showing two edging stakes attached to each end of the edging portion by tabs, and intermittent stake pockets attached to the edging portion.
- the edging system is a single rectangular unit that is easy to manufacture, paint, package, ship, store, inventory, display and handle in retail sales transactions.
- FIG. 2 is a front view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention showing the stakes removed from the ends of the edging portion, leaving diagonally opposite end extensions on the edging portion for matching alignment with the end extension of an immediately adjacent section of edging. Stakes are placed in the stake pockets located on each end extension to hold adjacent sections of edging in continuous alignment.
- FIG. 3 is a front view close-up of a preferred embodiment of the present invention showing the first end of the edging having the stakes removably attached. In this view, breakable tabs are shown as connecting the oppositely oriented stakes to the edging portion, and to each other, above the leading extension.
- FIG. 4 is a front view close-up of a preferred embodiment of the present invention showing the second end of the edging having the stakes removably attached. In this view, breakable tabs are shown as connecting the oppositely oriented stakes to the edging portion, and to each other, below the trailing extension.
- FIG. 5 is a front view close-up of a preferred embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3 showing the first end of the edging with the stakes removed. The leading extension remains available for aligned attachment to the trailing edge of another section of edging or for attachment to the soil.
- FIG. 6 is a front view of a stake showing a preferred embodiment in which the top of the stake has a right angle relation to one side.
- the stake also has a chamfered edge at the bottom, and a stiffening rib along the center.
- FIG. 7 is a top view of a stake inserted into a pocket.
- the width of the stake including the stiffening rib is slightly wider than the pocket width, so as to form a secure interference fit of the stake within the pocket.
- FIG. 8 is a front view close-up of a preferred embodiment of the present invention showing the complimentary match of leading extensions and trailing extensions of multiple sections of edging aligned in series connection to form a continuous landscaping barrier of variable length. Stakes are in place to hold adjacent sections of edging in continuous alignment and attached to the soil.
- FIG. 1 is a front view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, showing generally, the edging system 100 in the form that it is provided to the retailer and end user.
- a substantially flat and rectangular edging portion 102 is provided, having a leading extension 104 and a diagonally opposite trailing extension 106.
- a first substantially trapezoidal stake 108 is removably attached to edging portion 102, immediately above leading extension 104.
- a second substantially trapezoidal stake 110 is removably attached to edging portion 102 immediately above, and in opposite orientation, to first stake 108.
- second stake 110 is also removably attached to first stake 108.
- first stake 108 and second stake 110 form a rectangular portion having a height equal to approximately one-half the height of edging portion 102. This can be seen clearly in FIG. 2, in which first stake 108 and second stake 110 have been detached and removed from edging portion 102, leaving leading extension 104 extending from edging portion 102.
- a third substantially trapezoidal stake 112 is removably attached to edging portion 102, immediately below trailing extension 106.
- a fourth substantially trapezoidal stake 114 is removably attached to edging portion 102 immediately below, and in opposite orientation, to third stake 112.
- fourth stake 114 is also removably attached to third stake 112. In this location and orientation, third stake 112 and fourth stake 114 form a rectangular portion having a height equal to approximately one-half the height of edging portion 102.
- FIG. 3 is a front view close-up of a preferred embodiment of the present invention showing one end of the edging system 100 having stakes 108 and 110 removably attached.
- FIG. 4 is a front view close-up showing the opposite end of edging system 100 having stakes 112 and 114 removably attached. In a preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 3 and FIG.
- At least one breakable primary tab 116 removably attaches edging portion 102 to each of stakes 108, and 110, 112, and 114.
- at least one breakable secondary tab 118 removably attaches each of first stake 108 to second stake 110, and third stake 112 to fourth stake 114.
- primary tabs 116, and secondary tabs 118 are in the approximate range of about .13 inches and .25 inches wide. In a still more preferred embodiment, primary tabs 116 and secondary tabs 118 are approximately .19 inches wide.
- FIG. 5 is a front view close-up of a preferred embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3 showing leading extension 104 of the edging system 100 with stakes 108 and 110 removed.
- a preferred embodiment includes stake pockets 120 attached to edging portion 102 for receiving any of stakes 108, 110, 112, or 114.
- FIG. 6 is a front view of a stake 108. While this view is of a preferred embodiment of stake 108, in a more preferred embodiment, stakes 108, 110, 112, and 114 are geometrically and dimensionally substantially equivalent, so that FIG. 6 and the geometrical and dimensional descriptions in this and all paragraphs apply to, and are representative of, all stakes 108, 110, 112, and 114.
- stake 108 has a stake top 124 and an opposite stake bottom 126.
- stake 108 has a first side 128 which forms a substantially right angle with stake top 124. First side 128 also forms a substantially right angle with stake bottom 126.
- stake 108 has a second side 130 that forms an acute angle with stake top 124. Second side 130 also forms an obtuse angle with stake bottom 126.
- stake 108 substantially forms a trapezoid having two right angles.
- stake bottom 126 is formed to break the sharp point of the vertex formed between first side 128 and second side 130.
- there is no stake bottom 126 and stake 108 is substantially a right triangle with first side 128 and second side 130 forming the vertex.
- stakes 108, 110, 112, and 114 are approximately 8 inches in length, so as to be interchangeable with the many components of edging systems currently on the market and readily available.
- a stiffening rib 122 extends longitudinally along each of stakes 108, 110, 112, and 114, as can be seen in FIG. 6.
- the height of each longitudinal stiffening rib 122 is at least equal to approximately the thickness of stakes 108, 110, 112, or 114.
- the height of longitudinal stiffening rib 122 is approximately 150% of the thickness of the material of stakes 108, 110, 112, or 114.
- a non-ribbed stake tip 132 is present on stake 108, between stake bottom 126 and stiffening rib 122, to facilitate entry into stake pocket 120.
- the sum of the material thickness of stake 108 (or of any stake 110, 112, or 114) plus the height of stiffening rib 122, is equal to or greater than the width of the opening of stake pocket 120.
- FIG. 7 is a top view of stake 108 inserted into stake pocket 120.
- the thickness of stake 108 including the height of stiffening rib 122, can be slightly wider than the opening in stake pocket 120, so as to form a secure interference fit of stake 108 within pocket 120.
- FIG. 8 is a front view close-up of a preferred embodiment of the present invention showing the complimentary match of leading extension 104 of a first section of edging system 100 and a trailing extension 206 of a second section of edging portion 202 aligned in series connection to form a continuous landscaping barrier. Stake 108 and stake 110 are inserted into stake pockets 120 and stake pockets 220 to hold adjacent sections of edging system 100 in continuous alignment and attached to the soil.
- edging portion 102 is made by press cutting/forming stakes 108, 110, 112, and 114, stake pockets 120, primary tabs 116 and secondary tabs 118 from continuously fed metal strip.
- primary tabs 116 and secondary tabs 118 are formed by providing a relief of the desired dimension between the punch tooling and dye tooling of the press.
- edging system 100 is made from metal stock of between approximately 12 gage and 16 gage thickness. In the most preferred embodiment, edging system 100 is made from metal stock of approximately 14 gage thickness.
- an edging system 100 is disclosed, being substantially flat and rectangular, and made of a durable and flexible material.
- edging system 100 is made of a bendable material such as metal, which is painted or galvanized.
- Edging system 100 is comprised of an edging portion 102 having at one end a generally rectangular leading extension 104 and located diagonally opposite at the other end, a matching trailing extension 106.
- Adjacent and removably attached to leading extension 104, are two generally trapezoidal stakes 108 and 110, in opposite orientation. Stakes 108 and 110 are of substantially right-trapezoidal geometry so as to form together a rectangular section of substantially similar dimensions to that of leading extension 104.
- edging portion 102 form a unitary and substantially fully rectangular edging system 100.
- the single piece construction and rectangularity of edging system 100 permits improved efficiencies in manufacturing, painting, coating, handling, packaging, shipping, displaying, inventory, and delivering in retail transactions.
- stakes 108, 110, 112, and 114 are attached to edging portion 102 by primary tabs 116.
- stakes 108 and 110, and stakes 112 and 114 are attached to each other by a secondary tab 118
- Primary tabs 116 and , secondary tabs 118 are bendable and easily broken when a bending and/or torsional force is applied. This can be most easily accomplished by clamping onto any individual stake with a pair of pliers and bending and/or twisting the stake until primary tabs 116 and secondary tabs 118 are broken, releasing the stake from edging portion 102.
- the landscaper will typically first remove either stake 110 or stake 114, since they are the outermost stakes attached to edging portion 102. In removing outermost stakes 110 and 114, the landscaper will break primary tabs 116 and secondary tabs 118. When the landscaper removes stakes 110 and 114, he will have exposed stakes 108 and 112 for easy gripping with pliers. The landscaper removes stakes 108 and 110 from edging portion 102 by breaking the remaining primary tabs 116. When the landscaper removes innermost stake 108, he will have exposed leading extension 104 on one end of edging portion 102. When the landscaper similarly removes innermost stake 112 from the diagonally opposite end of edging portion 102, he will have exposed trailing extension 106.
- the landscaper then places edging portion 102 in the desired position in the soil. Any of stakes 108, 110, 112, and 114 can then be inserted into any of stake pockets 120, which are attached to edging portion 102. The landscaper then hammers stake top 124 of selected stake (108, 110, 112, or 114) into the soil to secure edging portion 102 into place.
- each of stakes 108, 110, 112, and 114 has a longitudinal stiffening rib 122.
- Longitudinal stiffening ribs 122 allow the manufacturer to manufacture stakes 108, 110, 112, and 114 out of the same stock that the edging portion 102 is made from. This results in the increased resistance to buckling that stiffening ribs 122 add to stakes 108, 110, 112, and 114, as is necessary to withstand the hammering applied by the landscaper to drive the stakes into the soil.
- the central location and narrow structure of stiffening ribs 122 on stake allow stake (108, 110, 112, and 114) to have an overall height that is equal to or greater than the width of the opening of pocket 120.
- the low profile of stake tip 132 facilitates easy insertion of stake (108, 110, 112, or 114) into the opening of pocket 120.
- FIG. 8 shows the complimentary match of leading extension 104 and trailing extension 106 when multiple sections of edging system 100 are aligned in series connection to form a continuous landscape barrier of variable length.
- the landscaper can connect multiple sections of edging system 100 in series, end-to-end.
- leading extension 104 of a first edging portion 102 will complementarily match a trailing extension 206 of a second edging portion 202.
- Stake pockets 120 are located on leading extension 104 for alignment with stake pockets 220 on trailing extension 206 so that any of stakes 108, 110, 112, or 114 may be used to interlock leading extension 104 of edging portion 102 with trailing extension 206 of second edging portion 202 to form a continuous length of interlocking sections of a landscape barrier.
- leading and trailing extensions are interchangeable, since the edging system is equally functional regardless of which direction it faces, and these terms are included only to aid in the description of the continuous connectivity of edging portions to form a landscape barrier of any desired length.
- leading extensions and trailing extensions may be alternatively referred to as "extensions" or "end extensions.”
- stakes are considered substantially the same and interchangeable.
- stakes are described in a preferred embodiment as trapezoidal, the smallest side of the trapezoid may be eliminated in an alternative embodiment to form a triangular stake, and still remain entirely within the spirit and description of the present invention.
