Definitions
- the present invention relates, as expressed in the statement of this specification, to a barrier intended to protect communications routes, such as railways, roads and highways, from accumulations of snow or sand that carry blizzards , causing that the wind does not whip directly to the road and causing the deposit and accumulation of the materials it carries out outside it.
- US Patent 353,206 claims the ornamental design of a fiberglass snow fence; This barrier has a degree of inclination towards leeward with support of complementary posts in this area.
- US Patent 3,966,172 shows a protection device on the windward and leeward sides, formed by two barriers that rest on each other at the top and consist of a plurality of planks or horizontal slats with vertical posts, with ground anchors using cables.
- Plant protection against blizzards is also known, which is done through the planting of trees, shrubs or plants, with an arrangement of one or more lines in the formation of the barrier.
- the drawback of this system is that the vegetation is useful when it has a certain height, not when it reaches a greater height or when it has a smaller size.
- the proposed invention consists of a barrier of protection against the blizzard composed of a set of pieces that are easily transportable to the location, to configure a barrier by the online arrangement of a plurality of screens.
- the structure of the elements that make up the invention ensure that its installation on site as well as the change of damaged parts, in the maintenance and repair work, are done quickly and easily.
- Each screen consists of a set of slats that will be placed horizontally, superimposed on each other at regular distances, linked to the vertical posts by anchoring their ends to rectangular securing plates that are inserted into the vertical post by a tubular ring which presents the structure of the plate.
- the screen will present a wind deflector in its upper part that will favor the channeling of the wind path so that the precipitation of the materials it carries is carried out past the protection zone.
- the installation of the invention on the ground will eliminate the deposit of snow or sand in the road, causing a stacking divided between the previous area of the barrier, in windward, and out of the road in the leeward part.
- the lower part of the screen will be free of slats in order to minimize the deposition of snow in the region immediately after the screen, in the leeward area. Additionally, the screen can be presented with a joint at the bottom that allows the prostration of the screen towards one of the sides or both, with its total dejection on the ground at times where this protection is not required and you want to eliminate the visual impact of these barriers on the landscape; facilitating the articulation, likewise, the repair work.

- Figure 15. Shows the upper bar of the joint.
- Figure 16. View of the piece that allows the threading of the bars in the joint.
- Figure 17.- Shows protection piece of the upper joint bar.
- FIG 1 it can be seen how the barrier object of the invention, Figure 1, is configured by joining several screens that are placed on the ground by vertical posts.
- Each screen consists of a plurality of slats that adopt a rectangular configuration (1), arranged horizontally, on top of each other and with some overlap between them, to conform the screen in the subjection of its ends to two vertical posts that settle on the ground ( Figures 2 and 3).
- the profile of the slats has a longitudinal fold in its central part with two identical sections
- All the slats contain at the edge of their major sides a fold (4) that will protect the edges of the slat from oxidation, as well as the operators of cuts in the installation or repair work.
- the linkage of the slats with the posts is carried out by means of a rectangular plate (5) of height slightly lower than the slat and folded in two sections (9, 10) with the same angle of inclination as the slats of the screen.
- This plate is introduced into the post by means of a tubular ring containing each welded plate in its middle zone (6), of appropriate section to be introduced in the vertical post, the ring having a height of 110.00 mm.
- the plate has four horizontally torn holes on each side (7), to ensure by screwing the slats that also have four perforations (8) at each of their ends related in position and size with the holes in the plate .
- This link of the plate and the lama can be seen in Figures 8, 9 and 10.
- the securing plates are not shown in their entirety at the ends of the barrier, but only up to the ring (6) that is anchored in the vertical post. This is because they will be placed for aesthetic and safety purposes for the passers-by that circulate through the area, these end-of-barrier securing plates, without the projection that this plate would suppose without receiving any lama.
- an individual screen is shown showing the barrier end plate (5) in these drawings, it being understood that on each screen, except at the ends of the barrier, the plate will be installed whole assurance (5) that will allow the anchoring of the slats of the following screen.
- each screen will contain an additional section (11), arranged bent inclined towards leeward at an angle of 90 °, which will serve as a deflector for the wind.
- This deflector section will be shorter than those of the slat, 150.00 mm.
- the slats will be installed on the screen equidistant from each other on the vertical posts, keeping this distance by the contest of separator tubes (12) that are introduced into the posts between the tubular rings of the slats (6), determining the degree of overlap between these are the height of the tubes, the lower the height, the greater the level of overlap between slats; presenting in this preferred embodiment a height of 177.34 mm.
- the position of the securing plate (5) with respect to the tubular ring (6) will determine the degree of inclination of the slats on the screen. They will be manufactured, preferably, so that the section of the slats located in leeward form an angle of 65 ° with respect to the horizontal plane ( Figure 12).
- the internal configuration of the vertical posts that act as support for the screen will be threaded bars (13) driven into the ground, preferably 2000.00 mm Gewi bar. Tall.
- the bottom of the screen will be presented without slats; they will be supplied by the introduction in the vertical posts of some tubes (14) with the desired height of this hole.
- the optimum size of this space from the ground to the beginning of the screen is between 10 to 15% of the total height of the screen.
- each vertical element will be configured by two bars with threaded structure (16, 17), Gewi, related by means of a joint ( Figure 13).
- the lower bar (16) will be introduced into the ground, and in the upper one (17) the screen will be formed, the joint being articulated by threading the bars into two nuts (18) welded inside cylindrical parts (19, 20), as shown in Figure 16, which have at its other end hook elements to form the joint, one (21) that will leave the lower cylinder (19), to fit between two receiving elements (22) which contains the end of cylinder (20) of the upper joint.
- the upper part will be additionally protected by a hyperboloid tubular element (26) installed in the bar above the cylindrical part (20) that will serve for the transition of dimensions between it and the bar in the joint.
- the lower part may be protected by a tube (27) within which a welded nut will be arranged.
- the screens will be fixed by cables that will be placed on the top of the posts to be anchored in the leeward and windward terrain (Figure 1).
- Another alternative way will be the placement of rigid pipes in the same position as the cables but located only on one side of the barrier. This embodiment will be preferred when the posts have lower articulation.
- the barrier will preferably be installed parallel to the road to be protected, in the ridges of hills, in the windward areas of stream channels and other topographic depressions that allow the increase of the snow deposit of the screens, making a previous study of the winds predominant in the area in a period of time sufficient to obtain an adequate statistical value of wind directions and which or which are the most predominant over the rest.
- the accumulation of sand or snow will be in the windward and leeward area, outside the area protected by the invention.
- the barrier will be arranged without openings in the protection line; in cases where the arrangement of openings is unavoidable, some screens must overlap with others of the same line, or several lines of screens will be arranged.
