Description

[0001] The invention relates to a device for providing a passage according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] Commonly used for horse gates are those constructed from numerous interconnected pasture panels, linked by removable chains. These are employed, for example, for setting up and dismantling horse stalls, fencing riding arenas, and lunging areas. The pasture panels feature a U-shaped base and rounded edges for stability and animal safety. Separate gate elements, integrated into the panels with an arched top, are used for passage. A disadvantage is that the gate elements impose lateral and vertical restrictions.

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a safe and easy-to-use device for providing an opening.

[0004] The problem is solved by a device for providing a passage for a demarcated area comprising one or more pasture panels, comprising at least one hinge element, with a first hinge area, in particular comprising at least one edge area encompassing a narrow side of the pasture panel, a retaining means area and an insertion means area, wherein the retaining means area is in particular adapted to encompass at least one vertical strut in the edge area of ​​the pasture panel, in particular with an oval strut cross-section, and is in particular removable, and a corresponding second hinge area with a retaining means area and an insertion means area for attachment to a corresponding retaining area, wherein the first hinge area and the second hinge area are designed to be rotatably inserted into one another.

[0005] Pasture panels approximately 4 m wide and 1.70 m high are typically very robust to prevent accidental damage by horses or inadequate barriers. The present invention makes it possible to quickly create a customized passageway without separate gate panels and their height and side limits. This passageway can be operated even by people of limited strength without assistance. The hinge element can be securely mounted to an oval cross-section of the struts to prevent rotation. The pasture panel can be easily configured in a quickly assembled device, even as a swing gate to create a passageway, and can be modified without damaging the panel. The ability to use different types of pasture panels is advantageous.The arrangement can be used between several pasture panels in a longitudinal arrangement or in a right-angled arrangement, for example also on posts or wall arrangements, so that, for example, easily opened box arrangements for horses can be formed.

[0006] It is advantageous if the retaining element area of ​​the first hinge area has a substantially open U-shape, in particular adapted to a strut cross-section of the edge area of ​​the pasture panel, and the insertion element area is arranged at an end area of ​​the U-shape and / or at a leg area of ​​the U-shape.

[0007] It is advantageous if the retaining center area of ​​the first hinge area has a clamping mechanism and / or a locking element, in particular a screw element and / or a cotter pin, for a bracket behind the strut of the pasture panel.

[0008] It is advantageous if the insertion element area of ​​the second hinge area is designed with a pin element to which a corresponding sleeve element, in particular a ring element, of the first hinge area is to be arranged.

[0009] It is advantageous if the insertion element area of ​​the first hinge area is designed with a pin element, to which a corresponding sleeve element and / or ring element of the second hinge area is to be arranged.

[0010] It is advantageous if the correspondence holding area is designed as a second pasture panel and / or vertical post and / or wall area.

[0011] It is advantageous if at least two hinge elements are arranged one above the other, distributed along one narrow side of the pasture panel.

[0012] It is advantageous if the clear opening of a hinge element between the edge of the pasture panel and a corresponding holding area is no more than approximately 5 cm. This prevents horses from injuring themselves in the openings.

[0013] Advantageous is the use of a device for providing a passage area for a demarcated area comprising at least one pasture panel, in particular a gate, wherein at least one or more hinge elements are attached to the pasture panel, wherein a first hinge area of ​​a hinge element with a retaining means area is attached encompassing an edge area of ​​a narrow side of the pasture panel, wherein in particular at least one substantially vertical strut of the pasture panel is encompassed and an insertion means area is inserted into a corresponding second hinge area for attachment to a corresponding retaining area, wherein the hinge areas are rotatably inserted into one another.

[0014] An advantageous method is a method for producing a passage area for a demarcated area, in particular a gate, comprising at least one pasture panel, wherein at least one hinge element is attached to an edge area of ​​the pasture panel, in particular clamped, with a first hinge area of ​​the hinge element(s), in particular comprising at least an edge area, in particular a strut, encompassing a retaining means area of ​​the pasture panel and an insertion means area, and is rotatably inserted into a corresponding second hinge area for attachment to a corresponding retaining area, so that the pasture panel can be pivoted.
