Abstract

The edging device is designed to form a border, between grassed and non grassed areas. It is formed as a length (1) of semi-rigid plastics material, with an approximately central fold (10), which divides the length into two wings (2 ,3), roughly at right angles to each other. One of the wings (2) is intended to be planted firmly into the earth (4). The other wing (3) consists of a series of transverse folds (30, 31 ,32), which enable the vertical wing (2) to be set into the required curvature, to follow the edge pattern, without affecting the angle formed between the two wings. USE/ADVANTAGE - It enables clean edges to the grassed area to be maintained without the use of an edge cutter.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de bordure permettant notamment de délimiter dans les espaces verts les zones non engazonnées. The subject of the present invention is a border device making it possible in particular to delimit in non-grassed areas in green spaces.

Sur une pelouse les massifs floraux, les arbres et arbustes sont plantés dans des aires non engazonnées auxquelles sont donnes des formes particulières. Toutefois les contours des ces aires s'altèrent au fur et à mesure de la pousse du gazon, nécessitant de les redessiner à l'aide d'outils. On a lawn, flower beds, trees and shrubs are planted in non-grassed areas to which particular shapes are given. However, the contours of these areas change as the grass grows, necessitating redrawing them using tools.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient on utilise des bordures, par exemple des plaques de matière plastique ondulées longitudinalement, plantées transversalement dans le sol à la frontière des zones, ou des bordures en ciment placées de la même manière, ou encore des pierres alignées sur ladite frontière. To overcome this drawback, borders are used, for example longitudinally corrugated plastic plates, planted transversely in the ground at the border of the zones, or cement borders placed in the same way, or stones aligned on said border. .

Pour que la zone non engazonnée soit bien délimitée il est nécessaire que lesdites bordures saillent d'une certaine hauteur afin d'éviter que l'herbe ne les recouvre, ce qui présente, au moment de la tonte, l'inconvénient de nécessiter l'utilisation d'un coupebordure, à fil de nylon par exemple, le long desdites bordures, la tondeuse ne pouvant y couper l'herbe comme c'est le cas le long d'un mur ou d'un grillage. In order for the non-turfed area to be well delimited, it is necessary for said borders to project from a certain height in order to prevent the grass covering them, which has the disadvantage of mowing when mowing. use of a border cutter, with nylon thread for example, along the said borders, the mower not being able to cut the grass there as is the case along a wall or a fence.

La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif de bordure qui permet de délimiter les zones non engazonnées des espaces verts, et qui, lors de la tonte, ne nécessite pas l'emploi d'un coupe-bordure. The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by proposing an edging device which makes it possible to delimit the non-turfed areas of green spaces, and which, during mowing, does not require the use of an edging cutter.

Le dispositif de bordure objet de la présente invention est constitué d'une bande de matière plastique semi-rigide thermoformée, présentant un profil particulier, étant pliée à angle droit selon un axe longitudinal approximativement central, l'une des ailes ainsi formée étant sensiblement plane, alors que l'autre est pliée en éventail présentant de grands plis transversaux de manière à permettre des cintrages dans les deux sens de l'aile sensiblement plane sans modification de l'angle formé par lesdites ailes l'une par rapport à l'autre.  The edge device object of the present invention consists of a strip of thermoformed semi-rigid plastic material, having a particular profile, being folded at right angles along an approximately central longitudinal axis, one of the wings thus formed being substantially planar. , while the other is folded in a fan having large transverse folds so as to allow bending in both directions of the substantially planar wing without modification of the angle formed by said wings relative to each other .

L'aile sensiblement plane est destinée à être plantée verticalement dans la terre à la frontière entre la zone non engazonnée et le gazon, et afin d'assurer un meilleur ancrage elle présente un épaulement longitudinal. The substantially flat wing is intended to be planted vertically in the ground at the border between the non-grassed area and the grass, and in order to ensure better anchoring it has a longitudinal shoulder.

L'autre aile est sensiblement parallèle au sol et est destinée à être dirigée vers le gazon, le plan supérieur de ladite aile étant au contact du sol, en sorte que lors de la pousse du gazon l'herbe recouvre l'extrémité de l'aile horizontale sans progresser au delà, permettant ainsi de bien délimiter les deux zones. The other wing is substantially parallel to the ground and is intended to be directed towards the lawn, the upper plane of said wing being in contact with the ground, so that when the lawn grows the grass covers the end of the horizontal wing without progressing beyond, thus making it possible to clearly delimit the two zones.

Avantageusement le bord extérieur de ladite aile est découpé en dents de scie facilitant son recouvrement et son enfouissement dans l'herbe. Advantageously, the outer edge of said wing is cut in a sawtooth pattern making it easier to cover and to bury it in the grass.

Les possibilités de cintrage de l'aile sensiblement plane permettent de donner des formes multiples aux zones non engazonnées, les plis de l'aile horizontale permettant avantageusement, par emboîtage, d'en solidariser les extrémités. The possibilities of bending the substantially planar wing make it possible to give multiple shapes to the non-grassed areas, the folds of the horizontal wing advantageously making it possible, by fitting, to secure the ends thereof.

Ainsi, lors de la tonte, il est possible de passer la tondeuse à cheval sur la bordure sans risque de l'endommager. Thus, when mowing, it is possible to pass the mower astride the edge without risk of damaging it.

Le dispositif de bordure selon l'invention pourra avantageusement être utilisé le long d'un mur ou d'un grillage, afin de ménager un espace non engazonné facilitant le passage d'une tondeuse et rendant l'emploi d'un coupe bordure inutile. The edging device according to the invention can advantageously be used along a wall or a mesh, in order to provide a non-grassed space facilitating the passage of a mower and making the use of an edging cutter unnecessary.

Les avantages et les caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente un mode de réalisation non limitatif. The advantages and characteristics of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawing, which represents a non-limiting embodiment thereof.

- Figure 1 shows a partial perspective view of a border according to the invention.

- la figure 2 représente une vue de dessus de la même bordure. - Figure 2 shows a top view of the same border.

- la figure 3 représente une vue de profil selon la flèche A de la figure 2.  FIG. 3 represents a side view according to arrow A in FIG. 2.

- la figure 4 représente une vue schématique en perspective d'un exemple de mise en oeuvre d'une bordure selon l'invention avec coupe partielle selon un plan vertical. - Figure 4 shows a schematic perspective view of an example of implementation of a border according to the invention with partial section along a vertical plane.

Si on se réfère aux figures 1, 2 et 3 on peut voir qu'un dispositif de bordure selon la présente invention est essentiellement constitué d'un bande 1 de matière plastique semi-rigide thermoformée. If one refers to Figures 1, 2 and 3 it can be seen that a border device according to the present invention essentially consists of a strip 1 of thermoformed semi-rigid plastic.

La bande 1 comporte un pli rond 10 longitudinal sensiblement central, divisant la bande 1 en deux ailes 2 et 3 approximativement à angle droit l'une par rapport à l'autre.  The strip 1 comprises a substantially central longitudinal round fold 10, dividing the strip 1 into two wings 2 and 3 approximately at right angles to one another.

L'aile 3 est pliée en éventail, et comporte des plis transversaux 30 en forme de rigole, la partie comprise entre deux plis transversaux 30 comportant deux plis 31 et 32 partant chacun d'un des deux plis 30 du côté du pli rond 10 et se rejoignant sur le bord extérieur de l'aile 3. La partie triangulaire 33 comprise entre les deux plis 31 et 32 est sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'aile verticale 2 alors que les plis transversaux 30 font avec elle un angle aigu
Le bord extérieur de l'aile 3 est découpé en dents de scie 34, le sommet d'une dent de scie 34 coïncidant avec l'extrémité d'un pli transversal 30, et deux dents de scie 34 consécutives se rejoignant sur le point de jonction de deux plis 31 et 32.
The wing 3 is folded in a fan shape, and has transverse folds 30 in the form of a channel, the part comprised between two transverse folds 30 comprising two folds 31 and 32 each leaving one of the two folds 30 on the side of the round fold 10 and meeting on the outer edge of the wing 3. The triangular part 33 between the two folds 31 and 32 is substantially perpendicular to the vertical wing 2 while the transverse folds 30 form an acute angle with it
The outer edge of the wing 3 is cut into saw teeth 34, the top of a saw tooth 34 coinciding with the end of a transverse fold 30, and two consecutive saw teeth 34 meeting at the point of junction of two folds 31 and 32.

L'aile 2 est sensiblement plane, comportant un épaulement longitudinal rentrant 20, les plis transversaux 30 en forme de rigole de l'aile 3 étant prolongés jusqu'à cet épaulement 20. The wing 2 is substantially planar, comprising a re-entrant longitudinal shoulder 20, the transverse folds 30 in the form of a channel of the wing 3 being extended up to this shoulder 20.

L'aile 2 peut être cintrée dans un sens ou dans un autre sans modification angulaire avec la partie triangulaire 33 de l'aile 3, seul étant modifié l'angle formé par les plis 30 avec l'aile 2. The wing 2 can be bent in one direction or another without angular modification with the triangular part 33 of the wing 3, only the angle formed by the folds 30 with the wing 2 being modified.

Quand l'aile 2 est cintrée de manière que l'aile 3 soit du côté convexe, cette aile 3 se déploie et s'aplatit, tandis que quand elle est du côté concave elle se resserre et son epaisseur augmente.  When the wing 2 is bent so that the wing 3 is on the convex side, this wing 3 deploys and flattens, while when it is on the concave side it tightens and its thickness increases.

Si on se réfère maintenant à la figure 4 on peut voir que l'aile 2 est plantée verticalement dans la terre 4 entre une zone non engazonnée 5 et le gazon 6, l'aile 3 étant dirigée vers le gazon 6, l'épaulement 20 permettant un meilleur ancrage
Lors de la pousse du gazon 6, celui-ci recouvre le bord extérieur de l'aile 3, et les dents de scie 34 disparaissent, mais il ne peut pas progresser Jusqu'à la zone non engazonnée 5, l'aile 3 creant une bande où ne pousse pas l'herbe, ce qui permet de bien délimiter les deux zones
Le dispositif de bordure selon l'invention permet de donner des formes variées aux zones non engazonnées, les plus fréquentes étant le rond, l'ovale et le haricot, qui nécessite des cintrages dans les deux sens.
If we now refer to Figure 4 we can see that the wing 2 is planted vertically in the ground 4 between a non-grassed area 5 and the lawn 6, the wing 3 being directed towards the lawn 6, the shoulder 20 allowing better anchoring
When the grass 6 grows, it covers the outer edge of the wing 3, and the saw teeth 34 disappear, but it cannot progress up to the non-grassed area 5, the wing 3 creating a strip where the grass does not grow, which allows the two zones to be clearly demarcated
The border device according to the invention makes it possible to give various shapes to the non-grassed areas, the most frequent being the round, the oval and the bean, which requires bending in both directions.

Il est à noter que la bande 1 peut être produite dans des longueurs différentes, et que plusieurs de ces bandes peuvent être aboutées, les plis 30 en forme de rigole permettant une bonne solidarisation par emboîtage. It should be noted that the strip 1 can be produced in different lengths, and that several of these strips can be abutted, the folds 30 in the form of a channel allowing good fastening by interlocking.

Lorsqu'il est nécessaire de tondre la pelouse, la tondeuse peut aisément être passee à cheval sur le gazon 6 et la zone non engazonnée 5 au-dessus de l'aile 3 sans risque d'endommager celle-ci, et sans nécessite l'utilisation d'un coupe bordure. When it is necessary to mow the lawn, the mower can easily be passed astride the lawn 6 and the non-grassed area 5 above the wing 3 without risk of damaging the latter, and without requiring the use of a border cutter.

Il en est de même le long d'un mur ou d'un grillage, l'aile 2 est alors plantée parallèlement et contre celui-ci, l'aile 3 laissant une bande non engazonnée au pied dudit mur ou grillage. It is the same along a wall or a mesh, the wing 2 is then planted parallel and against it, the wing 3 leaving a strip not grassed at the foot of said wall or mesh.

Il va de soi que la présente invention ne saurait être limitée à la description qui précède d'un de ses modes de réalisation, susceptible de subir un certain nombre de modifications sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention. Ainsi il est par exemple possible de plier différemment l'aile horizontale.  It goes without saying that the present invention cannot be limited to the preceding description of one of its embodiments, capable of undergoing a certain number of modifications without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus it is for example possible to fold differently the horizontal wing.
