  • the present invention relates to a sound suppressing structure, for example a sound suppressing fence, and a method of providing such a sound suppressing structure.
  • sound absorbing structure Sound reducing structure
  • sound insulating structure sound insulating structure
  • sound suppressing structure will be used interchangeably to describe a structure which contributes to a reduction in the noise levels around the structure.
  • the structure will be of the kind which absorbs sound waves, but in certain embodiments which are also covered by the invention, the structure will mainly reflect sound without absorbing.
  • Examples of sound reducing fences known in the art include GB1545700, DE8710405U 1, DE2744473C2 and EP11754318A1. These fences all describe sound reducing fences comprising vegetation. A problem with these fences is that around the poles, the sound easily migrates through the fence to the other side, as the poles are exposed on either side of the fence. Sound is therefore absorbed on the first surface and transmitted to the second surface without any significant filtering. Furthermore, the known sound reducing structures are typically complicated structures which are complicated to setup and maintain. In one example, a prior art fence is provided which is comprised of a number of panels. If one of the panels becomes damaged, the entire structure needs to be disassembled and then reassembled. Other structures are very expensive to manufacture due to their complicated construction.

L'invention concerne une structure de suppression de sons, par exemple une barrière (100), adaptée à la suppression de sons, la structure comprenant : deux montants (210) ancrés au sol à une certaine distance l'un de l'autre ; lesdits montants définissant un plan (A) qui comprend les axes longitudinaux centraux des deux montants, un premier agencement de panneau latéral agencé sur un premier côté dudit plan (A), un second agencement de panneau latéral agencé sur un second côté dudit plan (A), une chambre à sol ouvert, les côtés de la chambre à sol ouvert étant définis par lesdits premier et second agencements de panneau latéral et ladite chambre étant agencée pour être ouverte dans une direction vers le haut pour recevoir au moins une racine d'une plante (900), au moins l'un desdits premier et second agencements de panneau latéral comprenant deux planches (220) qui forment un côté de la chambre ; une structure de support interne (250) agencée entre les deux montants et entre le premier agencement de panneau latéral et le second agencement de panneau latéral pour positionner les planches par rapport aux montants. La structure de support interne comprend : une première partie présentant une dimension qui est agencée parallèlement aux axes centraux des montants, une deuxième partie présentant une dimension qui est agencée perpendiculairement aux axes centraux des montants et parallèlement au plan A et une troisième partie qui s'étend dans une direction présentant une composante vectorielle perpendiculaire audit plan (A) et qui est agencée entre les deux montants, et les planches étant raccordées et/ou soutenues par la troisième partie.
