Description

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of quickly assembled structures used in the construction of fences for burial sites, and can be used to mark the boundaries of a grave and for decorative design of the site.

[0002] In the prior art, grave fencing is primarily made of metal. Metal fencing is susceptible to corrosion, is heavy, requires regular maintenance (painting), and is difficult to transport and install.

[0003] Fences (fences) for graves are also known, for example, Delta-Park Sirtaki SI450-1Br, (https: / / www.ozon.ru / product / ogradka-na-kladbishche-mogilu-sbornye-sektsii-10-sht-korichnevaya-2013861003 / ), made of metal supports, to which fencing grates (sections) made of low-pressure polyethylene are attached.

[0004] The disadvantage of known solutions is the susceptibility of metal supports to corrosion, which affects the service life of the fences.

[0005] Furthermore, fluctuations in ambient temperature lead to loosening and destruction of the fencing structure at the junction of the supports with the gratings: at high positive temperatures, polyethylene becomes soft, and at sub-zero temperatures, it becomes brittle.

[0006] Polyethylene is confirmed to be affected by ultraviolet radiation: photodegradation, which leads to a loss of strength and elasticity of the grating material, the appearance of microcracks on their surface, color change (fading), and a decrease in their resistance to mechanical damage.

[0007] A fence for lawns is known from the prior art (RU2560758, E04H 17 / 00, published 08 / 20 / 2015), made of fiberglass reinforcement, connected to each other through plastic shaped modules with epoxy glue, and posts with bases in the form of rigid triangular figures made of fiberglass reinforcement.

[0008] The disadvantage of the known fencing is the need to glue the structural elements, which is associated with the labor intensity of assembling the fencing.

[0009] A lawn fence made of fiberglass profiles (https: / / mecons.ru / stekloplastikovie-ograzhdeniya / , manufactured by TsSKM LLC) is designed for fencing lawns, playgrounds, alleys, paths, and parks. The fence is made of rectangular profiled pipes and connected rods. The fiberglass profile is made from fiberglass mats, roving fabric, and polyester resin using a pultrusion process.

[0010] The known fencing does not provide for a reliable connection between the fiberglass profiles.

[0011] This decision was made as the closest analogue (prototype).

[0012] The technical problem that this utility model is aimed at solving is the expansion of the arsenal of technical means, namely, fences for graves made of composite profiled pipes.

[0013] The technical result consists in creating a fence for graves, characterized by a quick and reliable connection of fence elements made of composite profiled pipes.

[0014] The stated technical solution is achieved by the following.

[0015] A fence for graves containing vertical support posts and sections made of composite profiled pipes, connected to each other by connecting elements, is achieved in that

[0016] the connecting element is made removable with the possibility of installation in the end of the profiled section pipe and contains a longitudinal hole intended for installation of a fastening element, while in the wall of the vertical support post, to which this connecting element is adjacent, there is a through hole for installation of the fastening element.

[0017] Achieving the claimed technical solution in particular cases of the implementation of the present utility model is achieved by the following.

[0018] The section is made of horizontal upper and lower elements connected by vertical rods.

[0019] The rods are installed in the horizontal elements of the section with the possibility of extraction.

[0020] An anchor rod is installed at the bottom of the vertical support post.

[0021] The fastening element is installed in the longitudinal hole of the connecting element and the hole of the walls of the vertical support post to connect them to each other.

[0022] The end part of the connecting element is provided with a flange (flanging), designed with the possibility of it resting against the end of the profiled pipe of the horizontal element of the section.

[0023] The flange (flanging) is provided with a protrusion located along its edge, which covers the contour of the wall of the profiled pipe of the horizontal element of the section when installing the connecting element in the profiled pipe.

[0024] In this case, the protrusion forms a recess (groove), the width of which corresponds to the wall thickness of the profiled pipe of the horizontal element of the section.

[0025] The fixation of the connecting element at the end of the section profile pipe is carried out by means of a fastening element passing transversely through the wall of the profile pipe.

[0026] Grave fencing made of composite material, such as fiberglass (fiberglass), is resistant to moisture, temperature changes and chemical influences, is not subject to corrosion and biological degradation, and does not require additional processing or painting.

[0027] The presence of connecting elements of the proposed form allows for a universal, technological and reliable connection of fencing elements to each other due to its quick installation in the end of the section pipe and secure fixation on the vertical support post.

[0028] The fixation of the connecting element in the transverse direction ensures reliable fastening of the connecting element at the end of the section pipe, increasing the ease of installation, preventing the connecting element from falling out of the pipe.

[0029] The removable design of the connecting element allows the length of the section to be changed (selected) at the installation site of the fence, and then the connecting element can be installed into the end of the section pipe.

[0030] The proposed fencing design is characterized by a minimum set of elements that match each other in shape and size, which ensures ease of installation and reliable connection of the fencing elements to each other.

[0031] The presence of a flange (flanging) eliminates the possibility of the connecting element falling into the profile pipe, and also increases the ease of installation, since the connecting element is installed at a constant depth, that is, up to the flange.

[0032] The protrusion on the flange protects the ends of the profile pipe from damage during the assembly of the fence and its operation.

[0033] The connecting element functions both as a plug for the end of a profile pipe (section), and as a butt connector for section elements at a right angle to the support posts.

[0034] The connecting element, acting as a plug, protects the section element from damage, penetration of dirt and moisture, creating an aesthetic appearance of the connection of section elements and supports.

[0035] The anchor rods of the support posts increase the lateral stability of the fence, increasing the reliability and durability of the fence structure.

[0036] The ability to extract rods from horizontal elements of the section allows for the sections to be disassembled into individual elements, creating convenience when transporting the fence to the installation site.

[0037] This utility model is explained below by a specific example of its implementation, which is not the only possible one, but clearly demonstrates the possibility of achieving the stated technical result.

[0038] The essence of the claimed fencing is presented in the drawings:

[0039] Fig. 1 - black grave fence, general view;

[0040] Fig. 2 - entrance opening of the fence for graves;

[0041] Fig. 3 - fencing for graves in green, general view;

[0042] Fig. 4 - connection of a section element with a support post by means of a connecting element;

[0043] Fig. 5 - longitudinal section of the connection of the section element with the support post by means of a connecting element;

[0044] Fig. 6 - closest analogue.

[0045] The fence for graves contains vertical support posts 1, connected to each other by sections 2. The vertical support posts 1 are designed with the possibility of being buried in the ground.

[0046] Each section 2 is formed by upper and lower horizontal elements 3, connected by vertical rods 4 placed between them. Rods 4 are installed at a uniform pitch along the length of section 2.

[0047] Support posts 1, upper and lower horizontal elements 3 of sections 2 are made of profiled pipes (profiles) 3. Support posts 1 and horizontal elements 3 of sections 2 are connected to each other using connecting elements 5.

[0048] Profile pipes in the predominant variant have a rectangular or square cross-section, but can also have any other cross-sectional shape - triangular, polygonal, round, oval, etc.

[0049] Rods 4 sections 2 can be made in the form of rods of round or rectangular cross-section, or square, triangular, polygonal, oval and other cross-section.

[0050] Rods 4 are installed in the corresponding holes in the upper and lower horizontal elements 3 of section 2. It is possible to glue rods 4 to the upper and lower elements 3 of section 2 to increase the rigidity of the structure.

[0051] Sections 2 can also be made with a larger number of horizontal elements 3, which are connected or not connected by vertical rods 4. Or sections 2 can be made from profiled pipes connected to each other.

[0052] At least one of the sections 2 is shorter or longer than the other sections 2 to form an entrance opening in the fence. The opening is typically provided with a disconnectable element 6, which can be, for example, a chain attached to the posts 1 in a detachable manner, or a removable crossbar.

[0053] The fence can be equipped with a wicket door, connected with the possibility of rotation thanks to hinged joints to the vertical post 1.

[0054] Support posts 1, horizontal elements 3 and vertical rods 4 of sections 2 are preferably made of fiberglass (fiberglass) material, they can also be made of carbon composite, basalt composite, aramid composite material and their combinations.

[0055] Horizontal elements 3 sections 2 can be made of different sizes and lengths depending on the size of the fence and its shape.

[0056] The connection of horizontal elements 3 of section 2 to support posts 1 is carried out by means of connecting elements 5. In this case, to create a connection, the horizontal element 3 of section 2 adjoins the end to the side surface (wall) of the vertical support post 1.

[0057] At the end part of the horizontal element 3 of section 2, adjacent with its end to the support post 1, a removable connecting element 5 is installed, in which at least one longitudinal opening 7 is made, coaxial with the axis of the horizontal element 3 of section 2, intended for installing a fastening element 8.

[0058] In the preferred embodiment, the connecting element 5 comprises two longitudinal openings 7 for installing two fastening elements 8 (see Fig. 5). The installation of precisely two fastening elements 8 eliminates the possibility of rotation of the horizontal element 3 of section 2 relative to the support post 1 when they are connected. A through opening is made in the walls of the support post 1 for installing the fastening element 8, which secures the connecting element 5 to the support post 1.

[0059] The upper ends of the vertical support posts 1 are closed with plugs 9.

[0060] The external shape of the connecting element 5 corresponds to the internal shape of the end part of the profile pipe (horizontal element 3 of section 2).

[0061] The outer end portion of the connecting element 5 can be provided with a flange 10, which rests against the end of the pipe of element 3 of section 2 when installing the connecting element 5.

[0062] In the preferred embodiment, the flange (flanging) 10 is provided with a protrusion 11 located along its edge, enveloping the contour of the edge of the walls of element 3 of section 2. That is, the protrusion 10 forms a recess (groove), the width of which corresponds to the thickness of the wall of element 3 of section 2.

[0063] The fixation of the connecting element 5 at the end of the element 3 of section 2 is carried out by means of the fastening element 12, passing in the transverse direction through the wall of the element 3 of section 2.

[0064] The connecting element 5 of the proposed shape performs both the function of a plug for the end of the profile pipe (horizontal element 3 of section 2), and the function of a connector of elements 3 of section 2 at a right angle to the support posts 1.

[0065] Connecting elements 5 are preferably made of a polymer material, such as polypropylene. Connecting elements 5 can also be made of fiberglass (fiberglass composite), metal, such as aluminum, or stainless steel.

[0066] Making the connecting element 5 from fiberglass or plastic significantly increases the reliability of the fencing structure, since this material is not subject to oxidation and decay.

[0067] The end parts of the elements 3 of section 2 can be reinforced with overlays or other means to prevent displacement of the connecting elements 5 inside the pipe 3. The overlays can be made, for example, from a sheet composite material glued to the inner walls of the pipe 3 at the locations where the connecting element 5 is installed.

[0068] For fasteners 8 and 12, self-tapping screws, screws with nuts, and others are used.

[0069] The lower ends of the vertical support posts 1 are provided with elements 13, for example, anchor rods, which provide transverse stability of the fence; the ends of the posts 1 together with the transverse elements 13 are installed in the ground.

[0070] The proposed design of the fence allows it to be expanded (increased in length and / or width) by adding additional sections 2 and vertical support posts 1.

[0071] Profile tubes for sections 2 and support columns 1 are manufactured primarily using pultrusion. The filler is primarily fiberglass, but carbon fiber, basalt fiber, aramid fiber, or various combinations of these fibers can also be used. The binder used is, for example, but not limited to, polyester or epoxy resin.

[0072] One of the preferred options for manufacturing a fiberglass rectangular profile uses glass roving, fiberglass mat (stitch mat) and polyester resin.

[0073] The assembly of the fence is carried out, for example, as follows.

[0074] Assemble sections 2. To do this, rods 4 are installed in the holes of the lower horizontal element 3 of section 2. The upper horizontal element 3 of section 2 is installed on top of rods 4. Or vice versa, rods 4 are installed in the upper element 3 of section 2, and then the lower element 3 of section 2 is attached to them.

[0075] Connecting elements 5 are attached to vertical support posts 1 by means of fastening elements 8.

[0076] The ends of the horizontal elements 3 of the sections 2 are installed on the connecting elements 5 secured to the support posts 1, fixing the connection with fastening elements 12 in the transverse direction.

[0077] Connect all sections 2 of the fence with the support posts 1 in this way.

[0078] Insert anchor rods 13 into the holes at the bottom of the vertical support posts 1.

[0079] Install the fence on the ground surface and mark the locations for the installation holes on the ground.

[0080] Install support posts 1 into the holes and, using a spirit level, align the fence horizontally. Fill the holes with soil, compacting it.

[0081] If necessary, the lower part of the support posts 1 can be concreted by pouring concrete into the hole so that it hides the anchor rod by 3-5 cm, then filling and compacting the hole with soil, sand or screenings.

[0082] The proposed fence design allows for its assembly without the use of welding or other appropriate equipment; it can be assembled by unskilled specialists.

[0083] The proposed fencing has a simple design, is characterized by increased reliability in operation, is technologically advanced in manufacture, and can be produced in the conditions of domestic industry using well-known materials, technologies and well-known production equipment.

[0084] The terms and phrases used in this description: “contains”, “has”, “preferably”, “predominantly”, “in particular”, “may be”, “for example”, and their variations, should not be interpreted as excluding the presence of other materials, parts, structural elements, actions.
