Description

Title of the invention: CONCEALMENT PLATE FOR FENCES Object of the Invention

[0001] The present invention relates to a peg intended to cover a section of a rigid fence formed by a lattice of horizontal and vertical wires, which delimits an enclosure, such that a plurality of pegs can conceal the interior of the enclosure from the outside. The installation of the pegs is easy, economical, and achieves the desired result without unnecessary complexity. Background of the Invention

[0002] In the prior art, privacy screens used for fences in construction sites or permanent enclosures are well known. In the former case, a solution is usually sought that offers both low cost and a visible result. This means that, essentially, the goal is for the materials and tools used in a construction project to remain exposed without the need to be hidden, allowing them to remain undisturbed without the time wasted constantly storing and retrieving them. For this purpose, elements such as planks or windbreak mesh are often used, which offer very little privacy but fulfill the desired objective.

[0003] Document ES1057098U refers to a fence for enclosure used to visually isolate an area delimited by different means, such that said means may consist of posts anchored to the ground between which wires and / or a metal fence can be positioned as a support element, the enclosure fence being placed on the support element, and fixed to it, which may consist of plastic slats of a generally half-round section, attached and fixed to the wires and / or the perimeter metal fence, such that the improved fence described in this report consists of plastic slats of an generally elliptical section where, every certain number of slats, there are, in an intercalated position, reinforcing elements of greater rigidity and equal height and of a generally hollow rectangular section with shorter sides rounded shapes with internal reinforcing ribs,through which the anchoring to the perimeter metal base fence will be materialized.

[0004] However, this invention has the drawback that it consists of a complete mesh, of certain dimensions, and therefore must be selected beforehand before being chosen for implementation in a particular fence.

[0005] Document ES2829210T3 describes a concealment device by fixing slats to a rigid grid panel with vertical and horizontal wires. The device comprises a profile, which forms a slat receiving portion extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile and includes a bottom and a vertical wall attached to the bottom, where the bottom can support, during use, the lower ends of the slats that are received in the space defined between the plane containing the horizontal wires of the rigid grid panel and the vertical wall of the profile, and which are each arranged between two successive vertical wires of the rigid grid panel.Furthermore, the profile also comprises several fixing parts, carried along the bottom of the profile, at a certain distance from the vertical wall of the slat receiving part to also allow the reception of the lower end of at least one slat between the fixing part and said vertical wall, where each fixing part includes fixing means for fixing the profile to a horizontal wire of the rigid grid panel, where the fixing means have a length that allows them, during use, to be positioned between two successive vertical wires of the rigid grid panel.

[0006] However, this device has the drawback of its complex construction, which, although it may benefit from providing stability, certainly makes the product more expensive, making its implementation on a large scale doubtful.

[0007] The present invention solves the problems raised above by means of the present invention, consisting of some concealment feet that are very easy to manufacture and implement in fences and, in addition, are very economical to both manufacture and place. Description of the Invention

[0008] The present invention relates to a concealment peg intended to be fixed to a rigid lattice fence comprising horizontal rods and vertical rods.

[0009] The present invention relates to a concealment peg, formed by means of an elongated plate, intended to be fixed to a rigid lattice fence comprising horizontal rods and vertical rods, characterized in that it comprises two pairs of holes, each pair aligned longitudinally, located in both end sections of the peg.

[0010] The peg is formed by an elongated plate and comprises two pairs of holes, the holes of each pair being aligned longitudinally, in order to be fixed to the horizontal rods of the fence by means of clamps or similar elements. Each pair of holes, moreover, is located in a section end of the pietina, that is, in proximity to the end to provide stability in the fixation.

[0011] In addition, preferably, the pietina incorporates a lateral wing on each of the longitudinal edges with the aim of providing the pietina with additional rigidity.

[0012] The pietium may also include a central longitudinal rib. This, along with the lateral wings, gives the pietium even more structural rigidity.

[0013] In addition, the peg may incorporate a third pair of holes located in a central area of ​​the peg. This is preferably used in situations where the fence is higher than 1.20 meters. Description of the Drawings

[0014] To complement the description being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred embodiment thereof, a set of drawings is included as an integral part of said description, in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

[0015] [Fig. 1] shows a perspective view of the pietina of the invention with an inserted clamp intended to be fixed to a rigid lattice fence.

[0016] [Fig.2A] shows a front view of the pietina of the invention in a first embodiment.

[0017] [Fig.2B] shows a front view of the pietina of the invention in a second embodiment.

[0018] [Fig.3] shows a perspective view of a rigid lattice fence, from the outside of the fence, incorporating a pair of pre-assembled posts.

[0019] Below is a list of the different elements represented in the figures with their associated numerical references:

[0020] 1. Pietina

[0021] 2. Holes.

[0022] 3. Lateral wings.

[0023] 4. Intermediate reinforcement.

[0024] 5. Horizontal rod.

[0025] 6. Vertical rod.

[0026] 7. Fence Preferred Realization of the Invention

[0027] Below, with the help of the figures, a preferred embodiment of the concealment footplate according to the present invention is described.

[0028] As depicted in Figure 3, the peg 1 of the invention is configured to be installed vertically on a rigid lattice fence 7, Hercules type or similar. The footing 1 covers the entire height of the fence 7 and is located between two consecutive vertical rods 6.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1, the peg 1 of the invention incorporates two pairs of holes 2 intended to be passed through by a plastic clamp to be subsequently fixed around a horizontal rod 5 located in an upper area of ​​the fence 7 and on another horizontal rod 5 located in a lower area of ​​the fence 7. The incorporation of the two clamps, one in the upper area and the other in the lower area, provides a stable fixation of the peg 1 to the fence 7. In Figure 1 only one of the clamps has been represented, although in view of the figure, the insertion of the other clamp does not present any major complication.

[0030] The tile 1 can have a plank-like, smooth configuration. However, a suitable manufacturing method, focused on simplicity and economy, consists of a plastic extrusion process. In this way, to obtain consistent rigidity of the tile 1, it is preferable to give it a configuration that incorporates lateral wings 3, as represented in Figure 2A, or also incorporating a central rib 4 in addition to the lateral wings 3, as can be seen in Figure 2B, with the aim of providing even greater rigidity.

[0031] As can be seen in figure 3, both the lateral wings 3 and the central rib 4 are highlighted towards the interior area that protects the fence 7. In this way, the lateral wings 3 are protected from possible vandalism from the outside and from being destroyed, losing the aesthetics of the pegs 1 and giving a bad image from the outside. In the case of the central rib 4, in addition, the clamp is protected in a way, as it is located in the gap that it forms, as can be seen in figures 1 and 3, making it difficult to access in order to cut them and thus remove the peg 1 from the fence 7 from the outside.

[0032] Although the small supports 1 can completely close the enclosure created by the fence 7, this is not a primary objective. In fact, in a Hercules-type fence 7, such as the one shown in Figure 3, the resulting enclosure is not airtight; small openings remain in the projections created by the vertical rods 6 of this type of fence 7.

[0033] Fence 7 is generated by welding the vertical rods 6 onto the horizontal rods 5. Thus, the rigid lattice fence 7 will always have a rail defined by two adjacent vertical rods 6, where the peg 1 will be installed. In addition, the horizontal rods 5 will also be accessible in each of the rails for fixing the peg 1 by tying the clamps.

[0034] On the other hand, the use of clamps is entirely optional, and any other means of fixing can be used, such as a simple wire inserted into each pair of holes 2 and twisted to generate the fixing tension.
