Description

[0001] The invention relates to a modular protection of at least one object against weathering, in particular for the protection of plants in the outdoor area, as well as a shaped stone and a cover according to the preamble of the first, seventh and fourteenth patent claims.

[0002] Various protective devices are known, especially against weather influences and winter protection devices for plants, with which the plants can be enclosed to protect them, especially during the winter months outdoors, from frost and cold and other weather influences.

[0003] For example, German patent application DE 10 2015 107 826 B3 discloses a round, collapsible container with thermal insulation, which can be used to protect the root area of ​​a plant against frost. The collapsible container has staves connected by tongue-and-groove joints as its walls and a base, with the container being held together exclusively by tongue-and-groove joints. It features a multitude of chambers filled with air or insulating material for thermal insulation – including protection against frost. However, this solution is relatively complex and is only suitable and intended for use with the root area of ​​plants.

[0004] A combination plant container with a connecting clip and stabilizing rail is described in DE 86 24 623 A1. Individual plant containers are connected to each other by means of a connecting clip and a stabilizing rail. These plant containers also only enclose the root area of ​​the plants and are expensive due to their multi-part construction.

[0005] Document US 6,282,835 B1 describes a flexible plant protection system with flexible tubes connected by a ring, which can be filled.

[0006] Other known solutions include plant tents or protective covers in accordance with US 2022 / 0030780 A1, US 4,665,646 A, US 6,640,491 B1, US 6944989 B1, WO 95 / 15676 A1, WO 2010 / 068234 A2, which are made up of several different parts that can be plugged together and have a complicated structure.

[0007] Furthermore, coverings and bags are known that are placed over the plants, some of which are designed with supporting frame systems that hold the protective film. A cover made of bubble wrap with a heating element is described, for example, in publication EP 1 774 848 A1.

[0008] These well-known solutions have the problem that, on the one hand, they cannot be used modularly and therefore cannot be adapted to grow with the building, and on the other hand, they are susceptible to wind due to large areas with comparatively thin protective materials.

[0009] Under high wind loads, it is more common for state-of-the-art winter protection devices to tear or be blown away in parts, thereby polluting the environment. Furthermore, there is also the risk that these protective devices will not withstand the weight of large amounts of snow.

[0010] A wide variety of shaped bricks are still known, which can be connected to each other and stacked on top of each other via interlocking form elements.

[0011] For example, German patent application DE 1 067 007 B describes a component for a toy, in which the components are assembled using a plug-in principle. This component has protruding pins on one side and pins on its inner side. The pins of one component can be clamped between the inner pins of another component.

[0012] In this process, the protruding pins of one component are wedged between the inner wall and an internal pin of another component.

[0013] The design of a block for a modular system is described in design patent USD791885S. The block features outward-facing rectangular protrusions and internal interlocking walls. When assembled, the protrusions of the block engage between the interlocking walls and are clamped in place. Such building blocks are also described in various colors and sizes at www.everblocksystems.de. The large "4×2" blocks presented there have dimensions of 30.48 cm (L) x 15.24 cm (W) x 15.24 cm (H) (+2.54 cm for studs). They weigh 1.05 kg.

[0014] The building blocks can be used to assemble, for example, seating, bars and counters, shelves, consoles and tables, columns and decorative pedestals, lecterns and podiums, catering furniture, trade fair and exhibition items, office furniture and fun objects.

[0015] The application of the two aforementioned solutions as very large building elements that are translucent and intended for use for several months, especially outdoors over the winter, is not disclosed.

[0016] Furthermore, for example, document US 2011 / 0247 280 A1 describes a hollow glass or plastic component. These glass components can only be fixed one above the other using interlocking elements. How the lateral connection in the area of ​​the smooth side walls is to be achieved is not disclosed. It is suggested that a plant could be housed in a single glass component for protection against the cold; however, the possibility of constructing a plant enclosure using these components for cold protection is not considered. The complex structural design of these components is also a disadvantage.

[0017] A glass block with a frame made of integral foam is disclosed in DE 32 33 470 A1. The frame has butt surfaces with projections and recesses that allow for a plug-in connection. The frame also has sealing projections. The space between the sealing projections serves for the insertion of reinforcing bars made of flat profiles. The glass blocks are laid without additional adhesives, so that constructed walls can be dismantled and the glass blocks reused. A disadvantage of this solution is the high manufacturing effort required to produce the glass blocks. Furthermore, additional connecting elements in the form of reinforcing bars are required. The production of plant protection walls against cold is not considered.

[0018] The publication EP 2 246 498 A2 also describes a combination of a transparent building block and at least one panel element for use in building structures, for example in exhibitions or play areas. The block has side walls and a top surface, and the top surface has formations that engage when used with an adjacent or subsequent block. The panel element covers at least one wall of the block. This building block also has a complex structural design. The production of plant protection walls against cold is not considered.

[0019] Further modular components are described in the publications DE 20 2010 017 057 U1, EP 1 988 228 B1, DE 198 23 688A1, DE 94 10 141 U1, DE 196 10 247A1. However, these are not translucent and therefore not suitable for protecting plants from the weather for several months.

[0020] Due to these challenges, the object of the invention is to develop a variable, degradable, modular protection for at least one object against weather influences, e.g. against frost (winter protection), preferably for plants in pots or also in the planted state outdoors, which can advantageously be used for several months.

[0021] This problem is solved by the features of the first, seventh and fourteenth patent claims.

[0022] Advantageous embodiments result from the dependent claims.

[0023] The modular protection according to the invention for at least one object against weather influences is used in particular for the protection of plants in outdoor areas, wherein the protection is variable in its dimensions and the object / plant can be assembled from a multitude of translucent / transparent shaped stones in the form of a wall surrounding the plant, wherein the shaped stones can be assembled by means of corresponding and interlocking shaped elements and wherein a cover can be attached to the top of the wall composed of the shaped stones if required.

[0024] Furthermore, the invention relates to a shaped brick for producing the protection and a cover for it.

[0025] The cover is preferably in the form of a plate made of solid material or foil and can be engaged with the upper form elements of the form blocks that form the wall.

[0026] The shaped bricks are particularly cuboid in shape and have several projections on one side and recesses on the opposite side, wherein the projections of one shaped brick can engage with the recesses of at least one other shaped brick.

[0027] This means the shaped blocks can be assembled similarly to building blocks.

[0028] The protection against weathering can advantageously be varied in its dimensions and / or height by the number of composite shaped stones used.

[0029] This makes it easy to adjust the size of the protection to the size of the object or plant.

[0030] Of course, it is also possible to use winter protection to surround and thus protect several objects, preferably plants.

[0031] It is possible to equip the protection with at least one light and / or at least one heating system and / or at least one thermostatic device.

[0032] Of course, the heating can also be controlled by means of an integrated thermostat so that the temperature within the winter protection is at least above 0°C, whereby in such a design the heating is switched off again at a temperature in the range of 3°C to 5°C.

[0033] The power supply for the heating and / or lighting can be provided via a cable connected to the power grid or via a photovoltaic system.

[0034] Alternatively, it is also possible to combine the winter protection with at least one photovoltaic module, which is, for example, placed on the cover or forms the cover itself.

[0035] The molded stone used for protection is transparent / translucent and features recesses on one side and protrusions on the opposite side. This allows numerous molded stones to be stacked on top of and next to each other, forming a wall surrounding the plant(s). The protrusions are preferably in the form of knobs. Naturally, not only plants but also other objects can be protected from the elements in this way.

[0036] The shaped brick features a multitude of walls and chambers formed between them, extending from an open bottom towards a closed top. These chambers are open to the underside of the brick. This creates a multi-walled hollow chamber profile, which provides good thermal insulation.

[0037] When the shaped bricks are stacked on top of each other, the downward-opening chambers are closed, which also promotes thermal insulation.

[0038] The wall thickness of the side walls, top surface, and supporting walls, as well as the upward-facing studs of a molded brick, is preferably between 0.6 mm and 2.5 mm. Preferably, the wall thickness of the outer walls, including the studs, is between 1.1 mm and 1.5 mm, and particularly preferably 1.3 mm.

[0039] The supporting walls / stiffening elements preferably have a wall thickness between 0.6 mm and 1.0 mm, and particularly preferably 0.8 mm.

[0040] The shaped brick has external dimensions of 400 mm to 600 mm in length, 100 mm to 300 mm in height, and 100 mm to 150 mm in depth. Preferably, it has dimensions (without studs) of 500 mm in length x 250 mm in height x 125 mm in depth.

[0041] Due to these large dimensions, the weather protection, especially winter protection, can be assembled quickly and easily from the shaped blocks.

[0042] A shaped block preferably weighs between 1.5 kg and 3.9 kg, depending on its dimensions (L x H x D) and the wall thickness of the outer walls, including the studs, supporting walls, and stiffening elements. Preferably, the shaped block weighs between 2.0 kg and 2.5 kg, and particularly preferably between 2.1 kg.

[0043] Due to its high weight, the resulting enclosure for the plants is resistant to weather conditions accompanied by higher wind speeds.

[0044] It is possible that a heating device, preferably with a thermostat, is arranged in the enclosure, which is activated, for example, at temperatures near zero degrees Celsius and deactivated again, for example, when a predetermined temperature, e.g. 3°C or 5°C, is reached.

[0045] Furthermore, lighting with a twilight switch or timer can be installed in the enclosure to illuminate the winter protection from the inside in darkness.

[0046] Heating and lighting can also be combined. Power can be supplied, for example, via a mains connection using a cable.

[0047] However, it is also possible to equip the cover with a photovoltaic system or to use the solar cells of a photovoltaic system as a cover. In this case, the cover or the solar panels serving as a cover can have at least one battery / accumulator on its underside, which is charged by the solar panels and supplies power to the heating and / or lighting.

[0048] The heating and / or lighting can also be located on the underside of the cover.

[0049] It is still possible to equip the cover with at least one window, especially if the cover is intended for plant protection, e.g., also as a greenhouse. This window can be opened, for example, if the temperature inside the enclosure / protection (weather protection) is too high.

[0050] Specifically, the novel protection is implemented using equally sized transparent, double-walled plastic system components (here called molded bricks), which, according to defined grid dimensions, enable the simple and modular construction of the protection against weather influences.

[0051] By purchasing individual system components, the protection against weather influences can be extended in width and height at any time.

[0052] In contrast to the well-known plant tents or bags, the transparent, double-walled plastic system components have a significantly better resistance to wind and snow loads and other external influences and can even be reused multiple times.

[0053] The protection, especially from the elements, e.g., winter protection, could be further enhanced with innovative components such as integrated LED lighting, thermostats, heating systems, etc. Due to the use of transparent plastic, natural daylight is primarily used for overwintering the plant, and air acts as a natural insulating material thanks to the multi-chambered system components. This alone creates optimal conditions for overwintering, for example, Mediterranean plants outdoors, potentially even without additional lighting or heating.

[0054] Preferably, the system component (shaped block) and / or the cover are made of a transparent, translucent plastic that is particularly resistant to weathering and also frost-resistant. Furthermore, it should also be UV-resistant.

[0055] Materials used for this purpose include, for example, polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP), polyamide (PA), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), etc.

[0056] The system components and / or the cover are preferably made of polypropylene (PP) or styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN).

[0057] Advantageously, a top cover in the form of a foil or a plate is used to prevent snow or hail from falling on the object or plant.

[0058] A cover is preferably made of a sheet, which can also be made of polycarbonate (PC).

[0059] The cover has recesses on its underside that correspond to the studs of the upper shaped bricks and can be engaged with them.

[0060] It is possible to combine the winter protection with a photovoltaic system, which is either mounted on the cover or forms the cover itself. This system can then power lighting, heating, and / or thermostatic devices.

[0061] Alternatively, a battery or accumulator can be provided on the underside of the cover or in another position to ensure a power supply for heating and / or lighting.

[0062] Regardless, additional elements such as LED lighting and heating can also be connected to and operated via a simple cable routing to the local power grid.

[0063] The modular protection system can also be used for a greenhouse, for example. One, several, or all of the greenhouse walls can be constructed from the system's building blocks / prefabricated blocks.

[0064] It is also possible to build a raised bed from the system components, which can also be covered if necessary.

[0065] The invention is explained in more detail with reference to exemplary embodiments and associated drawings.

[0067] In the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7 to Fig. 8 is a molded brick 1 made of translucent plastic for the production of an enclosure, here for example a plant ( Fig. 8 and Fig. 9), shown in different views.

[0068] Fig. Figure 1 shows a three-dimensional view of a shaped brick 1 with upward-pointing studs 2, which Fig. 2 the front view, Fig. 3 the side view, Fig. 4 a top view of the molded brick according to Fig. 1 and Fig. 5 a view of the molded brick 1 from below according to Fig. 1.

[0069] Various cross-sectional views of the molded brick 1 are taken from the Fig. 6, Fig. 7 to Fig. 8 is visible.

[0070] The shaped block 1 has a length L, a height H and a depth T. For example, the length L=500mm, the height H=200mm to 300mm and the depth T=120mm to 130mm.

[0071] There are four circumferential walls W with outer sides 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, an upper wall W with a top 1.5 to which the studs 2 are attached and a bottom 1.6 which is open downwards.

[0072] The upward-pointing studs 2 are arranged here in two parallel rows of 8 studs 2 each and at a distance or grid dimension 2a from each other and have a width 2b of 60mm to 65mm, preferably 62.5mm, from their center to each other.

[0073] The studs 2 can be made of solid material, but here they are hollow and open towards the underside 1.6, and have an outer diameter 2D between 30 and 40 mm, preferably 36 mm, and an inner diameter 2d, depending on the wall thickness s. The height 2h of the studs is 15 mm to 25 mm, preferably 20 mm.

[0074] In the Fig. 1 and Fig. 4 indicates a sprue 3, which is created in parts preferably manufactured by injection molding and made of plastic.

[0075] Within the shaped block 1, retaining walls 4 extend from the open underside 1.6 (see Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7 to Fig. 8) in the form of hollow tubes upwards to the wall W at the top 1.5.

[0076] The retaining walls 4 have a circular cross-section in the middle along the longitudinal axis A and have an outer diameter 4D and an inner diameter 4d (see Fig. 5).

[0077] Furthermore, semicircular support elements 4 are located on the inside of the walls W on sides 1.1, 1.3, and quarter-circular support elements 4 are located in the corner areas.

[0078] Cavities H1 are formed in the support elements 4 and cavities H2 are formed between the support walls.

[0079] In Fig. The outer contours of the support elements 4 are shown as dashed lines.

[0080] The distance 4a, see Fig. 5, between the convexly curved outer contours (not labelled) of four support elements 4 is dimensioned such that a stud 2 of another shaped stone 1 can be inserted or clamped between them.

[0081] From the upper surface 1.5, the support elements 4, each provided with a cavity H1, extend downwards towards the lower surface 1.6. From the direction of the lower surface 1.6 in Fig. 5 and the sectional views in the Fig. 6, Fig. 7 and Fig. This is also evident in Figure 8. The cavities H2 are visible between the support elements 4.

[0082] For stabilization, retaining walls 5 are provided transversely to the longitudinal axis A, between the semicircular support elements 4, which adjoin the sides 1.1 and 1.3 and the circular support element 4 arranged between them, and which also extend from the underside 1.6 to the wall W on the top side 1.5.

[0083] The walls W, the support elements 4 and the retaining walls 5 as well as the hollow studs 2 preferably have a wall thickness s that is between 0.6mm and 2.5mm.

[0084] Preferably the wall thickness s of the walls W including the studs is 1.1mm to 1.5mm and particularly preferably 1.3mm.

[0085] The support elements 4 and the retaining walls 5 preferably have a wall thickness s between 0.6 mm and 1 mm and particularly preferably 0.8 mm. Thus, the support elements 4 and the retaining walls 5 preferably have a smaller wall thickness than the A walls W.

[0086] According to Fig. 8 To join two shaped bricks 1, the studs 2 of one shaped brick 1 are inserted into the cavities H2, which are located between four support elements 4, in the direction of the underside 1.6 of another shaped brick 1.

[0087] The studs 2 are clamped between the convexly curved outer contours of the four support elements 4.

[0088] In Fig. For simplicity, only the outer contours of the studs 2 are shown in stylized form in Figure 8, and the arrows indicate the insertion direction.

[0089] In the assembled state, the studs 2 of a shaped brick 1 are inserted into the cavities H2 of another shaped brick 1 from the direction of the underside 1.6 and thus clamped between the convex outer contours of four support elements 4.

[0090] The studs 2 are arranged on the narrow and long top side 1.5 and the corresponding cavities H2 between the support elements 4 are accessible from the direction of the open underside 1.6.

[0091] Fig. Figure 9 shows a first layer of four rows R1 to R4 of shaped bricks 1, bordering each other at right angles and forming a square.

[0092] The (outer) side 1.1 of the outermost shaped brick 1 of the first row R1, located here on the right, borders the end face, here the second side 1.2 of the first shaped brick 1 of the second row R2.

[0093] The last shaped brick 1 of the second row R2 borders with its long side / side 1.1 on the front side / side 1.2 of the shaped brick 1 of the third row R3 on the right here.

[0094] The left-hand form 1 of the third row R3 borders with one long side, here side 1.1, on the front side, here the second side 1.2, of the right-angled adjoining form 1 of the fourth row R4.

[0095] The end-opposite shaped brick 1 of the fourth row R4 (shown here lying on top) borders with its long side / side 1.1 on the front side 1.2 of the shaped brick 1 of the row R1 on the left here.

[0096] Fig. Figure 10 shows a second layer with four square, adjacent rows R1 to R4 made of shaped bricks 1, which are mirror images of the variant in the corner areas. Fig. 9 connect, so that when stacked on top of each other, a form block 1 of the second layer engages over two form blocks of the layer below and connects them.

[0097] Fig. Figure 11 shows the underside of a cover plate 11, which is provided around its perimeter with recesses / bores 11.1 that correspond to the studs 2 of the top layer of the form blocks 1 and can be plugged onto them.

[0098] According to Fig. 12 The underside of the cover plate 11 can also be provided with grooves 11.2 extending from one side to the other, the width of which corresponds to the width of the two parallel "nubbed strips" and the unmarked depth of which corresponds to the height of the nubs 2,

[0099] The grooves 11.2 then engage via the mutually parallel “nubbed strips” of the uppermost layer of the shaped bricks 11.

[0100] In Fig. Figure 13 shows a plant 6 enclosed in a protective structure, in this case a winter protection structure S, and arranged in a container 7, shown in a top view without the cover. The winter protection structure S is composed of shaped bricks 1. Inside, a heater 8 and a light 9 are arranged. These are powered, for example, by an externally supplied power cable 10.

[0101] Fig. Figure 14 shows a side view of a plant 6 enclosed in a protective structure, here winter protection S, and planted in a container 7. Inside the winter protection structure S, which is composed of shaped bricks 1, a heater 8 and a light 9 are also arranged. These are supplied with power, for example, via a power cable 10 supplied from the mains. A cover 11 is visible on the top.

[0102] It is of course also possible to enclose other objects with the protection according to the invention, e.g. art objects that are arranged outdoors and are to be protected from the elements and / or several plants.

[0103] Advantageously, the objects enclosed by the protective covering remain recognizable to an observer thanks to the use of transparent molded blocks. It is also possible to construct one, several, or all of the walls of a greenhouse or raised bed from these molded blocks.

[0104] The cover can be manufactured according to the perimeter dimensions of the enclosure walls. According to one variant (not shown), it is possible to integrate at least one window into the cover, which can be opened manually or automatically as needed.

[0105] In Fig. Figure 15 shows a side view of a cover 11 combined with a photovoltaic system 12 and featuring a heater 8 and lighting 9 on its underside. The photovoltaic system 12 has angled solar panels 12.1 attached to the top of the cover 11. These charge a battery 13, which is also attached to the underside of the cover 11 and supplies power to the heater 8 and lighting 9. The heater 8 is, for example, an infrared heater and the lighting 9 is an LED light.

[0106] According to Fig. 16 A foil-like flexible solar panel 14 is attached across the top of the cover 11, which feeds a battery 13 attached to the underside of the cover, which also supplies power to the heating 8 and / or lighting 9 located on the underside of the cover 11.

[0107] Fig. Figure 17 shows a plate-shaped solar element 15 as a cover 11 with a battery 13, heater 8 and lighting 9 attached to the underside. Several interconnected solar elements 15 can also form the cover 11.

[0108] For example, the heater 8 is an infrared heater in the form of a panel or film, and the lighting 9 is an LED light.

[0109] In addition to the aforementioned examples, numerous other variations in the design of winter protection are possible.

[0110] For example, if the cover 11 is plate-shaped, it can have other recesses, at least on its underside, than those in the Fig. 11 and Fig. 12 shown, with which it can be plugged onto the studs of the top row of shaped bricks 1.

[0111] Due to the large length L of the shaped blocks 1, preferably 500mm, and their height H, preferably 250mm, a circumferentially closed enclosure as protection against weather influences, such as winter protection, can be erected quickly and easily and can be easily dismantled again in the spring.

[0112] The relatively high weight of the shaped bricks 1 ensures high resistance in the assembled state, even under high wind speeds.

[0113] The hollow profile of the molded bricks 1, which has a large number of cavities H1, H2, provides good thermal protection for the plants.

[0114] The transparent and therefore light-permeable shaped stones 1 and the equally light-permeable cover 11 ensure that the plant or plants 6 are supplied with enough light.

[0115] Watering the plants 6, if necessary when using a tub 7, is possible if the cover 11 is slightly lifted.

[0116] It is also possible to position the cover 11 on the enclosure in such a way that it opens automatically under strong or intense sunlight and the resulting higher temperatures inside the enclosure, similar to a greenhouse with an automatic window opener. Window openers in the form of temperature-controlled, fully automatic devices that require no electricity or batteries are already state of the art for greenhouses. Since the cylinder reacts to room temperature, the window, in this case the cover (or possibly a window integrated into the cover – not shown), opens and closes automatically in response to temperature changes.

[0117] The cover 11 is cut from a translucent sheet, preferably made of polycarbonate glass, according to the base area of ​​the enclosure to be produced and provided on its future underside with recesses that can be engaged with the form elements of the molded bricks, so that the cover rests in a form-fitting manner on the uppermost layer of the enclosure.

[0118] If the plant's root system is in the ground, sufficient moisture is supplied to the roots through the surrounding soil, even if the roots are enclosed by winter protection, so that lifting the cover for watering may not be necessary.

[0119] Although there are many variations of interlocking form blocks and a multitude of possibilities for designing weather protection, especially winter protection, the solution according to the invention, with its appropriately dimensioned and transparent interlocking form blocks, offers for the first time a surprisingly simple solution for producing the protection according to the invention, which can be assembled and disassembled very quickly and easily.
