Arched reinforced fence

Abstract

The invention relates to an arched reinforced fence, formed by mesh panels of metal rods, with vertical formations, and by anchoring elements made up of a U-shaped rod or profile, the side branches of which are introduced between the horizontal rods located in different planes, whereas the central branch runs along one of the longitudinal edges of the panel, the side branches projecting from the opposite longitudinal edge of the panel.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to an arched reinforced fence, made up of wire mesh panels and anchoring elements for the fixing or maintenance of the panels in vertical position. [0002] Fences of the type set forth are generally used for forming enclosures, particularly, although not exclusively, temporary enclosures due to their ease of assembly and disassembly. BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION [0003] Fences of the type set forth are known in which the panels are formed by two series of metal rods, crossing each other perpendicularly and. joined at the crossing points by means of electro-welding, for example. [0004] The anchoring elements can be made up of vertical posts, generally based on metal profiles, independent from the panels. The joining between panels and vertical posts can be carried out in different ways. [0005] Fences of the type set forth are known from patents EP 0098328 and EP 0524860, in which panels based on rods have vertical formations de...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0010] The object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks set forth by means of a fence of the type described, but in which the anchoring elements are made up such that they ensure a good fastening of the panel and provide protection for the upper edge of said panels so that the vertical rods do not project.

[0012] A further objective of the invention is to obtain a fence the assembly and disassembly of which can be carried out quickly and easily.

[0018] With the U-shaped anchoring element of the invention assembled in the mesh panel in an inverted position, a considerable increase in the resistance to torsion or buckling of said panel is obtained.

Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, on forming the fence, the upper edge thereof is formed by the upper edge of the panels, from which the vertical rods can slightly project, constituting sharp elements which can cause injuries.

Another drawback of the fences of the type set forth is that the panels can be vertically stiffened by means of the anchoring posts.

However, in a horizontal direction there is no stiffening element of the mesh forming the panel.
