Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fence assembly of the type comprising a plurality of panels of semi-rigid net-like material, each panel having a plurality of closed meshes and being joined to another panel by a retaining means.
- fence assemblies of this type are well known and are used extensively for partitioning storage areas, warehouses, factories and additionally for perimeter fencing around building sites, security compounds, and the like. These fences may be either permanently mounted or demountable.
- U.S. Patent Specification No. 3423072 discloses a fence assembly comprising a plurality of panels of net-like material. Each panel is provided with sidewardly projecting unclosed hooks on each vertical side of the panel. A vertical retaining bar or fence post engages the hooks of adjacent panels to secure the panels together.
- FIG. 92355 discloses a fence assembly also comprising a plurality of panels of net-like material.
- the panels are mounted in a rectangular wire frame and loops are formed on the vertical sides of the wire frame.
- a retaining bar or fence post engages the loops on adjacent panels to secure the panels together.
- angle-iron frames are bolted together and may be bolted to intermediate upright fence posts.
- the joints between the panels may be easily opened by pushing against a panel. If sufficient pressure is applied to any one of the panels, the unclosed hooks engaging the fence post will straighten, thereby permitting the panel to be disengaged from the post. This can be a particular problem when a crowd of people push against a panel. Even if the hooks are sufficiently strong to overcome pressure on the panel, the shanks of the hooks can in general be relatively easily cut. Indeed by merely cutting a few hooks the panel can be pulled away from the bar to form a gap for the would-be intruder.
- the present invention is intended to provide a solution to the problems of the prior art fence assemblies. It provides a solution in that the panels are joined by a mesh of one panel projecting through a mesh of another panel, and the retaining means is located between the said meshes to prevent withdrawal.
- the advantage of the invention is that a very secure, and relatively inexpensive fence assembly is provided. Because the actual meshes of adjoining panels. interengage, it is virtually impossible for an intruder to separate the panels at their joints. Additionally, because the meshes of the panels are used for joining, standard panels of net material may be used. Another advantage of the invention is that the fence assembly may be either a permanent structure or demountable for erection elsewhere.
- the projecting mesh is bent to form a ridge, the retaining means engaging within the ridge.
- a plurality of projecting meshes form an elongated ridge.
- the ridge extends the length of a vertical side of the panel adjacent thereto.
- This feature of the invention facilitates manufacture of the panel and construction of the fence assembly. This is because the ridge can be formed by one pressing operation.
- the ridge is provided by an elongated channel formed in the panel, the channel overlapping the adjacent panel.
- the channel is of semi-circular cross-section.
- This feature of the invention is that it leads to a relatively simple construction of fence assembly and panel, and the formation of the channel in each panel adds to the rigidity of the panels and in turn the strength of the fence assembly. Further, it is particularly useful for engaging any form of fence post.
- the ridge is formed by bending portion of the panel adjacent a vertical side edge at an angle of substantially 45° to the panel.
- the advantage of this feature of the invention is that it provides a particularly rigid panel, and in turn a robust fence assembly, and the panel is also easily formed.
- the retaining means is provided by a retaining bar.
- the retaining means is a fence post.
- each panel is of expanded metal mesh material.
- each panel is of weld-mesh material.
- the fence assembly 1 comprises a plurality of panels 2 of semi-rigid net-like material having a plurality of closed meshes 3; in this case the panels are of expanded metal mesh material.
- Each panel 2 is joined to another panel by portions 4 of the meshes 3 of one panel projecting through the meshes 3 of another panel 2.
- the projecting meshes are bent to form a ridge 5, in this case the ridge is provided by a channel 6 formed along a vertical side edge 7 of each panel 2.
- the channel 6 is of substantially semi-circular cross-section. This can clearly be seen in Fig. 3.
- a retaining means provided by a retaining bar formed by a fence post 9 is inserted in the channel 6 between the engaging meshes 3 to prevent withdrawal of the said meshes. Lower portions 11 of the fence post 9 project below the panels 2 for securing in the ground.
- two panels 2 are offered up to each other as illustrated in Fig. 3.
- the meshes of the ridge 5 of one panel 2 are passed through the meshes 3 of the other panel see Figs. 1 and 2.
- the fence post 9 is then passed through the channel 6 between the engaging meshes and hammered into the ground so that the portion 11 is embedded in the earth.
- the remaining panels 2 and fence posts 9 are assembled in similar fashion.
- the fence posts 9 instead of terminating in the lower portion 11, could terminate in a plate member adapted for securing to the ground, for example, by masonry bolts or the like.
- a fence assembly 21 according to another embodiment of the invention.
- This fence assembly is substantially similar to that just described and like components are identified by the same reference numeral.
- the engaging meshes 3 of each panel are bent to form a ridge 5.
- a pair of channels 6 are provided along each vertical side 7 of each panel 12.
- the meshes 3 of each ridge 5 interengage each other.
- the fence post 9 is then passed through co-operating channels 6.
- the advantage of this embodiment of the invention is that because the engaging meshes are both bent to form a ridge, the space between the said engaging meshes is larger in cross-section, and accordingly, can accommodate a larger diameter fence post for additional strength of the fence assembly.
- a fence assembly 31 according to a further embodiment of the invention.
- This fence assembly is also made from panels 2 of expanded metal mesh material and is substantially similar to those already described, and again like components are identified by the same reference numerals.
- the ridge of the engaging meshes 3 is formed by bending portions 15 of each panel 2 adjacent their vertical side edges 7. As can be seen in Fig. 10 each portion 15 is bent at an angle of approximately 45° with the panel 2.
- the fence post 9 is passed between the ridges 5 as illustrated in Fig. 10. Needless to say the portions 15 may be bent at an angle other than 45°.
- a particular advantage of this fence assembly is that because the vertical side edges 15 of each panel 2 are bent at 45 0 to the panel, a particularly rigid panel is provided. This it will be appreciated enhances the strength of the fence assembly.
- FIG. 12 and 13 a still further embodiment of the invention is illustrated.
- This fence assembly 41 is substantially similar to that described with reference to Figs. 1 to 4 and like components are identified by the same reference numerals.
- the panels 2 are of weld-mesh material.
- the engaging meshes of one panel are bent to form the ridge 5.
- the ridge 5 is formed by the channel 6 along one vertical side edge 7 of each panel 2.
- the fence post 9 terminates in a plate 18.
- the plate 18 is secured to the ground by masonry bolts 19.
- a particular advantage of using weld-mesh material is that the mesh size is larger than expanded metal mesh. Accordingly, this permits the projecting portions 4 of the mesh 3 to project further through the meshes 3 of an adjacent panel, thereby accommodating a larger diameter of fence post.
- the retaining means for retaining the meshes engaged has been described as being a fence post of circular cross-section, other suitable retaining means could be used.
- bars or fence posts of angle section, channel section, or any other suitable desired section could be used.
- a semi-rigid wire could be used instead of a bar.
- the retaining bar has also formed the fence post for the fence assembly, this is not necessary. Independent support stanchions if desired could be used.
- the channel forming the ridge of the projecting meshes may be of any cross-section, for example it may be of triangular, or indeed, square or rectangular cross-section.
- the panels could be joined at any angle to each other either at their ends or if desired by one panel engaging another intermediate its ends.
- a panel similar to those illustrated in Figs. 9 and 10 would be used.
- the ridge 5 would project through the meshes of the other panel at a position intermediate the ends of the other panel, and the retaining bar would then prevent withdrawal of the engaging meshes.
- ridges may be formed on alternate panels only, each other panel being flat. In these cases ridges would be formed on both vertical sides of the alternate panels while each other panel would be flat.
