DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a mobile demountable liquid protective wall constructed of individual profile elements which can be stacked on top of each other, and which each engage for the purpose of fixing at both their ends into a U-profile, arranged in a vertical way to the profile elements.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Blockage units are known from the Swiss patent 70571, consisting of blockage girders, whose sealing amongst each other has to be done, however, via clay or any other sealing compound, which is costly in its deposition or attachment.
Furthermore, a demountable blockage unit for the flood protection is known from the German patent 3 420 405, whose sealings are designed in a frictional engaged way and which may cause problems when there is a higher existing water pressure. Furthermore, with this known solution, the load is only insufficiently distributed between the individual profile elements or the elements of the blockage unit, especially between the lower element, which is close to the ground, and the ground. For the support of the blockage unit in the cases of a longer span this patent provides the mounting of further side poles. These are set into the ground in tubular sparings, whereby these tubular sparings have to be constructed first via costly constructional measures.
German utility model teaches a mobile protective wall with rectangular boards, which are strengthened along their margins by a frame. Grooves are provided in the underground which receive the protective wall elements.
It is therefore the task of the invention to create a mobile, namely to be used anywhere, demountable protective wall for the defense of liquids, which distributes the pressure, which occurs because of the existing liquid, as evenly as possible onto the entire wall at a high closeness, without making it necessary to construct very costly constructional measures before the set up of the protection wall, but which makes it possible at the same time that also bigger widths can be spanned over with such a wall. This task is solved according to the invention by a liquid protective wall with the characteristics of claim 1.
Preferably, these elements each engage at both their longitudinal ends into an L-profile, which is arranged to the profile elements in a vertical way, for the purpose of fixing. The individual profile elements are thereby placed with their side, which is opposite to the liquid, at the flange of the L-profile running parallel to them. There, a rubber profile is provided for the purpose of sealing. To avoid a dumping of the profile elements to the side facing the liquid, a further L-profile of a smaller construction, which is attached with one side to the side of the L-profile, which is placed crosswise to the liquid protective wall, via long holes running in a diagonal way. Hereby it is made possible that the profile elements can be inserted in an easy manner into the groove, which is formed via the side of the big L-profile, which is placed along the liquid protective wall, and a side of the small L-profile. The insertion occurs in such a way that the small L-profile is moved in the long holes to the top in a diagonal way, the profile elements are inserted and after the insertion, the small L-profile is moved again to the profile elements with the aid of the long holes. That way a U-profile is created, in which the profile elements find themselves to be anchored, consisting of a longer leg, which is opposite to the liquid, a basis at the edge of the profile elements and a shorter leg, which is facing the elements. The profile elements run full of liquid from the side across the groove, which is created between them and the small L-profile as well as the big L-profile, as soon as the liquid starts rising at the wall. This also secures a good stability of the wall. With a falling liquid, the elements run empty again respectively.
In an embodiment according to the present invention, the individual profile elements are closed to the side, n
