Definitions
- the present invention refers to barriers and overflow protection of the kind that is for instance described in the Swedish Patent No. 9502817-1.
- This device was a great step forward at the fighting of flooding.
- the barrier that is described in the patent is costructed of loading pallets that are leaned against inclined supports and a membrane is then applied over the loading pallets and a short distance out below the water that is to be dammed. Since the support is inclined a part of the pressure force from the water will be directed down against the ground, resulting in that the supports remain in place without being swept away by the water pressure. Loading pallets are almost always available in good quantities and thus it is only the supports that have to be stored between the moments of use. The barrier therefor becomes very rational and effective.
- the invention has therefor as its object to provide a barrier structure of the initially described kind that can be applied quicker and more rationally than before.
- a norm distance is achieved between the supports at the erection of these securing that each loading pallet will rest against two supports. Since the lateral connection that in principal can be constituted of a bar that in a suitable manner grips the support for instance with hooks locating the supports and the erection of these take place quickly. Since the supports furthermore are connected to each other in a long row of lateral connections it will be enough with a few loading pallets at the start of a barrier being placed in order for all supports to stand stable already before the loading pallets are placed against these. With other words it becomes possible to build a row of supports entirely independent of if the loading pallets are in place or not.
- a support in accordance with the invention seen from the side and including an upper beam 1, a lower beam 2 and an intermediate support beam 3.
- the beam 1 has in its lower end a flange 4 against which the lower edge of the loading pallet in question rests.
- the beams 1 and 2 are articulated to each other and the support 3 is in its upper end articulated to the upper loading pallet supporting beam 1 while in the lower beam a stop is arranged for the support 3 so that this can not slide further out in the lower beam and that the position shown in fig. 1 is stable at a pressure against the loading pallet and thereby against the upper beam 1 supporting this.
- telescopic lateral connections are arranged constituted by an inner tube 5 and an outer tube 6.
- the inner and outer tube are provided with holes going all the way through, through which a locking pin 7 can be arranged.
- the tubes 5 and 6 are in their outer ends provided with flat iron extensions 8 welded thereto, that in their ends are bent and extend towards the pallet side in such away that they constitute flanges, heels or bosses with a distance between them that is somewhat larger than the width of the pallet. In this way the support will hold the pallets in question in place laterally.
- the tubes are provided with short tube pieces 9 that grip into corresponding holes 11 and 12 in the beams.
- the holes 11, 12 and the tube pieces 9 respectively can advantageously be quadratic to their shaping and the holes in the beams may be somewhat displaced height- wise.
- the feet of the pallets will end up in different positions and in order to allow the flanges or ears constituted by the flat irons 8 to grip the loading pallets in different levels holes are arranged in different levels on the pallets.
- One person can extend the lateral connections to the right length and lock this, one person mount it on the supports and an additional takes care of the locking with pins and an additional person can go ahead and raise the support at the approximately correct spacing, alternately the work may be arranged in some other and perhaps even more rational way.
- a work team follows placing loading pallets in place resting on the flanges 4 and placed between the ends of the flat irons of the lateral connections. In case the person erecting the supports is not successful in following the desired line it is comparatively easy to adjust this line before the loading pallets are applied.
- the upper beam is provided with flanged holes (se fig. 4) These flanged holes form teeth that can grip strongly so that also the loading pallets can be made to take up forces in the length direction of the barrier. The barrier in this way becomes more resistent to forces trying to pull it a part.
- the teeth of the supports gripping into the loading pallets does not only strengthen the barrier in its lengthwise direction by taking up the pulling force but also makes the barrier more stable by counteracting the shearing and movements in general that otherwise could lead to a braking of the barrier.
- the barrier in accordance with the invention At the mounting of the barrier in accordance with the invention in water, flowing or still water it may be difficult to use loading pallets and it may be more practical to use panel material that is heavier than water or to place weights on the loading pallets. At an uneven ground and/or a very bent extension of the barrier it may become difficult to use loading pallets due to the rectangular shape of these and also here it may be practical to use panels or boards, since these on the inside of the bend can overlap each other.
- the above described telescopic lateral connection is particularly advantageous in the cases when one wish to use more than one lateral connection between neighboring supports.
- the heels in the outer ends of the lateral connections do advantageously not extend more forward than the thickness of the panels that may come to use. This facilitates also at overlapping when the overlapping board extends in over a neighboring board and heels of the respective lateral connection.
- the boards, profiles or panels that can be used instead of loading pallets can advantageously have standardized length, for instance coinciding with the dimensions of a loading pallet. They may furthermore be provided with holes for the fastening to the lateral connections by for instance tapes, rubber bands, or the like.
