Abstract
Description
Title of the invention
[0001] Cover construction for the secure fastening of existing double wire mesh panels to fence posts with external screw fastening or to fence posts with holders made of various materials. Technical field
[0002] The invention relates to the field of fastening technology for fence systems, in particular double wire mesh fences, and serves to increase the tamper resistance against dismantling and forced removal of the mesh elements. State of the art
[0003] Double-wire mesh panels are typically attached to fence posts using brackets made of aluminum, plastic, or steel. These brackets are often fastened with screws located in the center of the left and right panels, accessible from the outside of the property. The screw simply holds the clamping element onto the bracket.
[0004] Disadvantages of the current state of the art include: • Holders can break or give way through brute force or with simple tools, allowing the mesh panels to be detached. • The screws of the brackets are often accessible from the outside and can be loosened, making unauthorized removal of the fence element possible.
[0005] Therefore, a solution is needed that prevents both the forcible removal of the grilles from the holders and the unauthorized loosening of the fastening screws from the outside. Object of the invention
[0006] The object of the invention is to provide a retrofittable safety device for existing and new double-wire mesh fence systems, which: 1. Prevents the mesh mat from breaking out of the holders. 2. Makes loosening the fastening screws from the outside very difficult. 3. It is easy to retrofit and can be installed without special tools. Solution to the problem (invention)
[0007] The invention solves the problem by means of a cover strip or individual segment which is mounted over the existing supports of the double wire mesh mat and screwed in from the side or from behind. Key features of the invention: • Cover: A continuous strip that runs the entire length of the grid mat or is segmented across individual supports. • Made of metal or shatterproof plastic. • Designed to fit snugly, completely covering the brackets and thus preventing both the mat from breaking out and access to the fastening screws. • Mounting from the inside: The cover strip is mounted exclusively from the inside of the property using screws or other fasteners. This makes easy removal from the outside impossible. Side-mounted brackets or clamping mechanisms: • Option A: The cover strip is attached to the post using side-mounted brackets. • Option B: Individual cover elements are placed over the holder and fixed laterally from the inside. Retrofitting capability:
[0008] The existing screws of the brackets are loosened, removed and replaced by the new locking elements. Advantages of the invention • High level of tamper protection thanks to concealed screws. • Protection against the violent breaking out of the grid mat. • Easy installation and retrofitting to existing systems. • More affordable than overlapping grid mats. • Compatible with various fence types and mounting systems.

Claims
[1] Cover made of metal or shatterproof material for attaching double wire mesh panels to fence posts, characterized by that it completely covers the existing brackets and is screwed in from the inside of the property. [2] Covers according to claim 1, characterized by that it is formed continuously or segmentally. [3] Cover according to claim 1 or 2, characterized by that it is attached to the side of the fence post and thus covers the brackets. [4] Cover according to any of the preceding claims, characterized by that it is made of metal or shatterproof plastic. [5] Cover according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by that it can be retrofitted to existing fence systems. [6] Cover according to any of the preceding claims, characterized by , that it additionally prevents the mesh mat from breaking out of the holders by means of a mechanical covering.
