Description

Introduction

[0001] The protective netting system is a sophisticated solution for skylights, rooflights, and industrial applications. It offers comprehensive protection against insects, birds, dirt, heat, and falls, while its secure all-around anchoring and two-part design ensure maximum stability and flexibility. The system is specifically designed for industrial use where the highest safety standards, durability, and ease of handling are essential.

[0002] The system allows for selective opening for maintenance, cleaning, or fire alarm activations without having to remove the entire net. The combination of a modular aluminum frame construction, innovative fastening systems, and high-quality materials provides a future-proof solution. Features and Functioning of the Protective Net System 1. Two-part net design: The net is firmly anchored all around and opens only in the middle or at the top, exactly to the size of the skylight or rooflight. This two-part design allows for easy access during maintenance work and guarantees maximum stability. 2. Secure anchoring: The net is stabilized by a tension strap system, which can be supplemented if necessary by an expander rubber band and a pallet fastening strap. 3. Tool-free assembly: ◯ An adhesive, hook and loop system ensures easy, tool-free assembly and fixing of the net. ◯ The aluminum frame system also incorporates a magnetic system, which allows for an even more stable and quick attachment of the upper structure. 4. Penetration protection with in-house frame construction: ◯ The aluminum frame substructure is firmly attached to the roof using special industrial adhesive and is equipped with a plug-in system. ◯ The upper frame structure is screwed together and can be removed if necessary. ◯ Additionally, the structure can be equipped with a safety net that offers maximum protection against falls through. 5. Modular design: The system is individually adapted to the specific requirements and is suitable for flat, inclined or curved roofs. 6. Durable materials: The protective net system consists of weather-resistant, UV-resistant and fire-retardant materials, ensuring a long service life even under extreme conditions. Advantages compared to conventional systems 1. Flexible design: The system adapts to any roof shape and is individually customized. 2. Secure anchoring all around: The network remains stable and secure without having to remove the entire network. 3. Additional security measures: Maximum safety is ensured through protective netting, magnetic system, anchor points and securing points. 4. Maintenance of the wind deflectors: The wind deflectors remain fully intact and functional, even in the event of a fire. 5. Simple reconstruction: After a release, only the affected area needs to be reattached, saving time and money. With the aluminum frame system, the aluminum frame cover is simply folded shut. 6. Durability: ◯ High-quality materials ensure a long service life, even under demanding conditions. 7. Ease of maintenance: ◯ The two-part design allows easy access for repairs, cleaning, and inspections.

[0003] This protective netting system for skylights, rooflights, and industrial applications sets new standards in safety, flexibility, and efficiency. Its sophisticated design and robust materials guarantee maximum reliability and durability.

Claims

[1] Secure anchoring all around: a. The safety net is firmly attached to the roof all around to ensure stable and secure fixation. It only opens in the middle or at the top, allowing for precise and controlled use. [2] Combined fastening systems: a. A combination of tension straps, elastic bands and pallet fastening straps offers additional stability and flexibility. [3] Tool-free assembly: a. The system uses an adhesive, hook-and-loop fastener system that allows for tool-free assembly and disassembly. In the aluminum frame system, an additional magnetic system ensures particularly quick and secure attachment of the upper mesh sections. [4] Penetration protection: a. A custom-built aluminum frame construction with a firmly bonded substructure and a screwed, removable upper structure offers maximum protection against falls through. b. The structure can optionally be equipped with a perforation net to meet additional safety requirements. [5] Maintenance of the wind deflectors: a. The wind deflectors do not need to be removed during installation and remain completely intact. This ensures that their functionality, especially in the event of a fire, is not impaired. [6] Selective aperture: a. The net opens selectively in the middle or at the top, meaning that only the affected area needs to be accessed for maintenance, cleaning, or repairs. Complete disassembly of the net is not required. [7] Fast recovery: a. After a fire alarm activation or maintenance, the net can be quickly reinstalled. With the aluminum frame system, the aluminum frame cover is simply folded shut, saving time and immediately restoring stability. [8] Individual customization: a. The protective net system is custom-made to meet the requirements and is suitable for flat, inclined or curved roof shapes. [9] Integrated insect screen: a. The net also serves as protection against insects and dirt. This function is fully retained even in the event of a fire alarm activation. [10] Building-friendly installation: a. Thanks to adhesive mounting, no drilling or interventions in the building structure are required, thus the building's statics are not affected. [11] Anchor eyes and anchor points: a. For additional safety measures, anchor points and securing points can be integrated into the tensioning straps or the frame structure to further minimize the risk of falls. [12] Modular and flexible design: a. The system is modular and can be expanded or adapted as needed to meet various security requirements. [13] Durability: a. The protective net system consists of robust materials that are resistant to weathering, UV radiation and fire, ensuring a long service life.
