[0003] Locking system for connecting two gate elements and fence with locking system

[0004] The present invention relates to a locking system for connecting two gate elements, in particular a mobile fence, comprising a first part for mounting on a first gate element and a second part for mounting on a second gate element. The present invention further relates to a fence, in particular a mobile fence, comprising a locking system.

[0005] Mobile fences, often also called construction fences, are temporary enclosures used to secure construction sites, private property, and especially event venues. Mobile fences typically consist of wire mesh panels with a frame made of square or round poles or tubes. The wire mesh panels are usually connected to form a fence using concrete bases, cable ties, or steel sheet clamps.

[0006] Especially when fencing off event venues, it is necessary to create escape routes or time-limited entrances. For this purpose, individual fence panels can be equipped with wheels, allowing them to be pivoted and used as gates. To prevent unauthorized opening of such gates in mobile fences, locking systems must be provided that can be opened quickly, particularly in emergencies.

[0007] From DE 10 2016 109 267 A1, an emergency locking system for connecting two fence elements is known, comprising at least one locking strap with which the two fence elements can be connected to each other. The emergency locking system comprises a base body with fastening means with which the base body can be attached to one of the fence elements, and a manually operated cutting device is provided on the base body with which the locking strap can be cut when actuated.

[0010] Description of the invention: Problem, solution, advantages

[0011] The present invention is based on the objective of providing a locking system for connecting two gate elements, in particular a mobile fence, by means of which a gate can be created in a fence, in particular a mobile fence, if required.

[0012] To solve the problem underlying the invention, a locking system for connecting two gate elements, in particular a mobile fence, is proposed, comprising a first part for mounting on a first gate element and a second part for mounting on a second gate element, wherein the first part comprises a locking element pivotable about an axis with a hook and the second part comprises a stop element, wherein the locking element, in particular in the mounted state of the locking system, is pivotable into an open position and a closed position, wherein the hook engages behind the stop element in the closed position, and wherein the hook releases the stop element in the open position.

[0013] The locking system is designed to connect two gate elements. These gate elements are, in particular, gate elements of a fence, specifically a temporary fence, also known as a construction fence. The gate elements can be made of wire mesh. It is possible for both gate elements to be pivotable. However, it is also possible for the first of the two gate elements to be fixed, and the second to be pivotable.

[0014] The locking system comprises a first part and a second part, which can be mounted on the first gate element and the second gate element, respectively. When mounted, the first part is attached to the first gate element and the second part to the second gate element. When the locking system is mounted on a fence, the locking element of the first part can be pivoted between a closed and an open position. In the closed position, the hook of the

[0015] RGTH A241361WO12228PT Alpaka Paradise GmbH September 16, 2025

[0016] 3

[0017] The locking element engages the stop element, preventing the two gate elements from pivoting relative to each other. If an attempt is made to pivot one or both gate elements, the stop element strikes the hook of the locking element, resulting in a positive or non-positive locking of the gate element. In the open position, the hook releases the stop element, allowing the gate elements to pivot relative to each other and thus providing a gate.

[0018] Due to the locking element equipped with a hook, which engages behind the stop element in the closed position, securing or connecting the two gate sections to each other using cable ties or sheet steel clamps is no longer necessary. This has the particular advantage that the gate can be opened quickly if required, especially in an emergency.

[0019] Preferably, the stop element is a bracket, and the hook engages in the bracket in the closed position.

[0020] The bracket is preferably designed as a U-shaped bracket. In the assembled state of the locking system, the hook engages the bracket, preferably from above, when the locking element is moved from the open to the closed position. When an attempt is made to open the gate, a force-fit or positive locking occurs between the hook and at least one arm of the bracket, preventing the gate from opening.

[0021] In principle, however, the stop element can also be designed as a rod, especially a straight one.

[0022] A further advantage is that the first part comprises a first base element, in particular a first base plate, with a front and a back, wherein on the back of the first base element, preferably two, connecting elements for mounting the first part to the first gate element are arranged, wherein the connecting elements further preferably have u-shaped or semicircular receptacles, in particular for a rod or a tube of the first gate element.

[0023] RGTH A241361WO12228PT Alpaka Paradise GmbH September 16, 2025

[0024] 4

[0025] Furthermore, it can be provided that the second part comprises a second base element, in particular a second base plate, with a front and a back, wherein on the back of the second base element, preferably two, connecting elements for mounting the second part to the second gate element are arranged, wherein the connecting elements further preferably have U-shaped or semicircular receptacles, in particular for a rod or tube of the second gate element.

[0026] The first base element of the first part and the second base element of the second part are designed, in particular, as a first and second base plate, respectively, and furthermore, specifically as substantially rectangular plates. On the rear side of each first and second base element, connecting elements are arranged for mounting the first and second part to the first and second gate element, respectively. For this purpose, the connecting elements have receptacles, which are preferably U-shaped or semicircular. Due to their U-shaped or semicircular design, rods or tubes of a first and second gate element, in particular rods or tubes of the frame of a wire mesh element, can be arranged in the receptacles.The first and second parts are thus arranged with the first and second base elements, respectively, on a rod or tube of the respective gate element in such a way that the rod or tube is positioned in the receptacle. Subsequently, the first and second parts can be secured and fastened to the first and second gate elements, respectively, using metal clamps, cable ties, or other fasteners.

[0027] In principle, the mountings of the connecting elements can also be square or rectangular.

[0028] The connecting elements can be provided in pairs, meaning that a first pair of connecting elements and a second pair of connecting elements are provided on each of the basic elements. The paired connecting elements increase the stability of the connection of the first

[0029] RGTH A241361WO12228PT Alpaka Paradise GmbH September 16, 2025

[0030] 5 or the second part is improved with the respective gate element. The connecting elements can, in particular, protrude at right angles from the back of the respective base element.

[0031] A further advantage is that at least one receiving element, preferably a cheek, with a preferably U-shaped recess is arranged on the front of the first basic element, wherein the stop element is received in the recess in the closed position, wherein two receiving elements, in particular two cheeks, each with a preferably U-shaped recess are provided, wherein the two receiving elements are aligned parallel, and wherein the locking element is guided between the two receiving elements.

[0032] The receiving element preferably projects at a right angle from the front face of the base element of the first part. The receiving elements can also be essentially plate-shaped. On the side facing away from the front face of the first base element, the receiving element has a recess. In the closed position, the stop element, in particular the shackle, and furthermore, in particular at least one arm of the shackle, is received in the recess. Furthermore, in the closed position, the hook of the locking element engages behind the stop element, in particular the shackle. The hook of the locking element and the recess of the receiving element then form a completely closed opening through which the stop element, in particular the shackle, and furthermore, in particular, one arm of the shackle, passes.Therefore, in the closed position, it is not possible to lead the stop element, in particular the bar, and further, in particular, the arm of the bar, out of the fully closed opening, so that opening the gate is not possible.

[0033] The locking element is preferably arranged parallel to the receiving element and in a sliding or nearly sliding position relative to the receiving element. It is preferably provided that two receiving elements are arranged parallel to each other on the front face of the first base element. The locking element is then further preferably arranged between these two parallel receiving elements and is guided by them. This means that when the locking element is moved...

[0034] RGTH A241361WO12228PT Alpaka Paradise GmbH September 16, 2025

[0035] 6 between the open position and the closed position the locking element is guided on both sides, and only a pivoting of the locking element around the axis is possible.

[0036] It is further preferably provided that the second basic element has a support plate on the front side, preferably projecting at a right angle from the second basic element, wherein the stop element is arranged on the support plate, preferably projecting at a right angle from the support plate.

[0037] In other words, the stop element, in particular the bracket, is arranged essentially parallel to the front face of the second base element of the second part due to the preferably double right-angled arrangement of the support plate on the second base element and the stop element on the support plate. In the assembled state, the stop element projects beyond a gap between the two gate elements and is located in front of the first part, and in the closed position, it can be inserted into the preferably U-shaped recess of the at least one receiving element of the first part.

[0038] A further advantage is that the locking element has an actuating element which is designed so that, preferably manually, force can be applied to the actuating element to pivot the locking element from the closed position to the open position.

[0039] The actuating element is preferably designed to be relatively large so that it can be grasped or touched by a user's hand. Applying force to the actuating element pivots the locking element from the closed position to the open position.

[0040] It is preferably provided that the actuating element is a plate of the locking element arranged at one end of the locking element.

[0041] The actuating element is located particularly in the area of ​​the hook and opposite the axis around which the locking element can be pivoted. By applying force to the actuating element, especially to the plate located at the end of the locking element, the

[0042] RGTH A241361WO12228PT Alpaka Paradise GmbH September 16, 2025

[0043] 7

[0044] The locking element must be pivoted upwards. In doing so, the hook of the locking element releases the stop element.

[0045] A further advantage is that a locking element can be provided, wherein the locking element can be arranged in a locking position on the first part in such a way that pivoting of the locking element from the closed position to the open position is prevented.

[0046] The locking element serves to prevent unauthorized pivoting of the locking element from the closed to the open position. It thus prevents the gate of the mobile fence from being opened at times when it should not be. If the locking element is not positioned in the locked position on the first part, the locking element can pivot between the closed and open positions. Preferably, the locking element can be positioned in the locked position on the first part such that it is in a positive or force-fit relationship with the locking element, thereby preventing the locking element from pivoting, particularly from the closed to the open position.

[0047] Preferably, the locking element comprises or is a rod or a tube, in particular a rectangular rod or a rectangular tube.

[0048] It is further advantageous that the locking element has a handling section, and / or that the locking element has an end section, wherein the end section is preferably arranged opposite the handling section of the locking element, and wherein the end section is further preferably a round tube or a round rod.

[0049] The locking element preferably includes a handling section. This handling section can be in the form of a handle. The handling section allows the locking element to be moved into or out of the locking position particularly easily.

[0050] RGTH A241361WO12228PT Alpaka Paradise GmbH September 16, 2025

[0051] 8

[0052] Preferably, the first basic element of the first part has a first opening, wherein the locking element can be brought into the locking position by passing the locking element through the first opening.

[0053] The first opening can be designed as a hole, in particular a rectangular or square one.

[0054] The locking element can preferably be guided from the rear of the first base element through the first opening of the first base element of the first part. The locking element, preferably designed as a rod or tube, thus extends from the rear of the first base element through the first base element and protrudes on the front of the first base element. The portion of the locking element protruding on the front of the base element can be brought into a form-fit or force-fit with the locking element in the locked position, so that the locking element prevents the locking element from pivoting from the closed position to the open position.

[0055] It may preferably be provided that the locking element, in particular the actuating element, has a second passage, wherein the locking element can be brought into the locking position by passing the locking element, in particular the end section of the locking element, through the second passage.

[0056] The second opening can be designed as a hole, especially a round one.

[0057] In the particularly preferred case, the locking element is guided in the locked position both by the first opening of the first base element of the first part and by the second opening of the locking element. This double-sided support of the locking element in the first base element and in the locking element prevents the locking element from pivoting from the closed position to the open position.

[0058] RGTH A241361WO12228PT Alpaka Paradise GmbH September 16, 2025

[0059] 9

[0060] It can be provided that the first passage has a first tube, preferably with a square cross-section, and / or that the second passage has a second tube, preferably with a round cross-section.

[0061] By providing a first tube at the first feedthrough, a jam-free guidance of the locking element through the first feedthrough of the first base element of the first part can be ensured. The second feedthrough of the locking element can also have a tube through which the locking element, in particular an end section of the locking element, is guided. However, the second tube for the second feedthrough can also be omitted.

[0062] A further advantage is that the first tube has a through-opening, and that the locking element has a, preferably first, through-hole, wherein in the locking position the first through-opening and the, preferably first, through-hole are aligned with each other, so that a locking means, in particular a shackle of a padlock, can be guided through the first through-opening and the, preferably first, through-hole.

[0063] In the locked position, the locking element is arranged in the first tube of the first through-hole such that the preferably first through-hole of the locking element and the first through-hole of the first tube are aligned with each other. This makes it possible to guide a securing device, in particular the shackle of a padlock, through both the first through-hole and the preferably first through-hole. If such a securing device is arranged in this way, removal of the locking element from the locked position can be prevented. The securing device can also be a cable tie or similar.

[0064] It is further advantageous that the second tube has a second through-hole, and / or that the locking element, in particular the end section of the locking element, has a, preferably second, through-hole, wherein in the locking position a locking means, in particular a

[0065] RGTH A241361WO12228PT Alpaka Paradise GmbH September 16, 2025

[0066] 10

[0067] The shackle of a padlock, through which, preferably a second, through-hole can be passed, and / or wherein, in the locking position, the second through-opening and the, preferably second, through-hole are arranged in alignment with each other, so that a locking means, in particular a shackle of a padlock, can be passed through the, preferably second, through-opening and the, preferably second, through-hole.

[0068] If a second through-opening is provided in a second tube of the second passage of the locking element, a suitable locking device, such as the shackle of a padlock, can be guided through the second through-opening of the second tube and the second through-hole of the locking element. Depending on the design of the locking system, however, it may also be sufficient that no second tube with a through-opening is provided, and that only the locking element has a through-hole, particularly in its end section. Even in this case, by guiding the locking device, for example, the shackle of a padlock, through the preferably second through-hole of the locking element, removal of the locking element from the locked position can be prevented.

[0069] Furthermore, it can also be provided that the locking element has a hole, wherein in the closed position a securing means, in particular a shackle of a padlock, can be guided through the hole and preferably through the u-shaped recess of the receiving element, so that the locking element is locked in the closed position.

[0070] The hole in the locking element is located near the hook. If, in the closed position, the stop element, in particular an arm of a shackle, is located in the recess, and if, furthermore, the hook is also located in the recess in the closed position, then a security device, in particular the shackle of a padlock, can be inserted through the hole in the locking element. Accordingly, the shackle of the padlock security device is also located in the U-shaped recess of the receiving element and prevents the locking element from pivoting from the closed position to the open position.

[0071] RGTH A241361WO12228PT Alpaka Paradise GmbH September 16, 2025

[0072] 11

[0073] With a further advantage, the locking system comprises at least one cover element, preferably two cover elements, for arrangement on the gate elements, so that reaching through the gate elements is prevented.

[0074] The cover element(s) are preferably large and essentially cover the first and / or second gate element. This prevents unauthorized access through the gate elements. This also prevents the locking element from being removed from its locked position by an unauthorized person.

[0075] It may be provided that the aperture element has a recess through which the first part and the second part are accessible when mounted.

[0076] The openings are sized so that only the front or back of the first or second part, respectively, is accessible. This prevents unauthorized access through the gate elements. At the same time, authorized personnel can remove the locking mechanism from its locked position.

[0077] Another solution to the problem underlying the invention consists of a fence, in particular a mobile fence, comprising two adjacent gate elements and a locking system as described above, wherein the first part is attached to a first gate element, and wherein the second part is attached to a second gate element.

[0078] All features, designs and functions described above regarding the locking system can also be transferred accordingly to the fence according to the invention.

In the closed position, the hook 16 of the locking element 15 engages behind the stop element 17. In the open position, the hook 16 releases the stop element 17. To move the locking element 15 from the closed position to the open position, the locking element 15 is pivoted about the axis 14 in the direction of arrow 19 (Fig. 1).

[0097] RGTH A241361WO12228PT Alpaka Paradise GmbH September 16, 2025

[0098] In the locking position shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the hook 16 engages in the bracket 18, so that a force or form connection is formed between an arm 20 of the bracket 18 and the hook 16.

[0099] The first part 12 has a first base element 21, which is designed as a first base plate 22 with a front 23 and a back 24. On the back 24 of the first base element 21, connection elements 25 are arranged for mounting the first part 12 to the first gate element 10. The connection elements 25 have U-shaped or semicircular recesses 26 into which a rod TI or a tube of the first gate element 10 (Fig. 7) can be inserted.

[0100] Similarly, the second part 13 has a second base element 28, which is designed as a second base plate 29 with a front 30 and a back 31. Connecting elements 32 with U-shaped or semicircular receptacles 33 are also arranged on the back 31 of the second base element 28. A rod 34 or tube of the second gate element 11 (Fig. 7) can be inserted into the U-shaped or semicircular receptacles 33.

[0101] On the front surface 23 of the first base element 21 of the first part 12, two cheek-shaped receiving elements 35 are arranged, which project approximately at right angles from the front surface 23 of the first base element 21. The receiving elements 35 each have a U-shaped recess 36, so that in the closed position shown in Figures 1 and 2, the lever 18 of the second part 13 is arranged in the recess 36. The pivotable locking element 15 is guided between the two receiving elements 35.

[0102] The stop element 17, designed as a bracket 18, is attached to the second part 13 via a carrier plate 37 arranged on the front 30 of the second basic element 28, as shown in Fig. 4.

[0103] The locking element 15 (Fig. 5) has an actuating element 38 in the form of an end-mounted plate 39. A user can exert a force on the locking element 15, preferably manually, by applying force to the actuating element 38, so that
