The present invention relates to a protective fence with at least one wall element and with at least one, in particular formed as a post, support element and at least one latching element, wherein the wall element can be fastened in at least one latching position by means of the latching element on the support element
Protective fences of the type mentioned are e.g. used in mechanical engineering and in particular in production and machine lines to delimit various areas and / or as access control for machines. Protective fences of the type mentioned can also be used for a corresponding demarcation in larger storage areas, such. Warehouses are used. In the prior art known generic fences must be so far pivoted during assembly until the wall element reaches its latching position and the locking element engages.
Disadvantage of the previously known, generic protective fences is the relatively high susceptibility to inaccuracies in the assembly of the support elements in particular. Thus, it often happens that when the support elements have been mounted only with a corresponding inaccuracy, the locking element no longer or only slightly locks when the wall element has reached its latching position.
The object of the invention is to propose an improvement in this regard.
For this purpose, it is provided according to the invention that the protective fence has at least one guide device for guiding the wall element relative to the support element in the direction towards the latching position along a guideway having at least one linear path component. •
In other words, a guide device is thus provided which, by means of the linear path component of the guide track, predetermines a linear movement or a movement with at least one linear component on the wall element on its way in the direction of the latching position. This linear path component of the guideway, in preferred embodiments, is vertically upwards.
By the movement along the linear path component, it is possible to provide a certain tolerance compensation, that is a compensation of inaccuracies in the assembly of the support elements, since the locking element no longer has to hit exactly one point, but at a suitable location, during the movement of the wall element can snap along the linear path component. This also results in a simple and quick installation. It is advantageously provided that the linear path component leads the wall element directly to the latching position. In other words, the wall element is thus conveniently guided on its way to the latching position last along the linear path component of the guideway. The guideway may consist solely of this linear path component. However, embodiments are also possible in which, in addition to the linear path component, even curved path components, for example, are realized for carrying out a pivoting movement. However, as stated, according to the invention, at least one linear path component must always be present at the guide track of the guide device. The guideway is conveniently part of the guide means.
It should be noted that it can certainly be provided that the wall element before the guide along the linear path component also another movement such. can be subjected to a pivoting movement.
The latching position is in any case the position in which the wall element is located when the latching element engages in a latching opening assigned to it. Locking elements or detents are known in the prior art in a variety of embodiments. What they all have in common is the fact that, when a final position is reached,
special operation is necessary, locks into place. For this purpose, the locking elements are usually spring loaded. In this context, however, it should be noted that the locking element in protective fences according to the invention does not necessarily have to be the only fastening means with which the wall element is held in its latching position on the support element. The latching element can be received or held in the wall element. Alternatively, the detent element may be e.g. but also be held or fastened on the support element or on the guide device. The guide device is preferably fixed to the support element or a part of the support element, which in preferred embodiments also applies to the storage facilities mentioned below.
The support elements are basically the part to which the wall element is attached or suspended. The support element may be e.g. to act around a pillar, a pillar, a pillar or the like. Often the support element is anchored in the ground and usually it is vertically standing.
Wall elements are conceivable in a variety of embodiments. It can be e.g. to frame elements grated to act otherwise plate-shaped wall elements and the like.
By providing corresponding latching elements conveniently no fastening material or tool is necessary to anchor the wall element in the latching position.
Particularly preferred embodiments provide that all components of a protective fence are made of a single material, preferably of a single type of metal. Particularly preferred variants of the invention provide that all components of the protective fence are made of steel or have steel at least as the main component.
The number of supporting elements and the wall elements in protective fences according to the invention can vary widely. The minimal variant provides that a single
Wall element is attached to at least one or two support elements. As a rule, however, protective fences according to the invention have a multiplicity of supporting elements and wall elements fastened thereto.
Preferred embodiments of the invention provide that the guide device has a guide channel delimited by at least two opposing guide walls and the wall element can be guided in the guide channel along the guide track. Furthermore, it is favorable if the guide device has an insertion opening for inserting the wall element into the guide track and the detent element is distanced from the latching position when the wall element is introduced into the insertion opening.
In terms of the best possible tolerance compensation, preferred variants of the invention provide that the latching opening, into which the latching element engages in the latching position of the wall element, is larger than the latching element. In this context, preferred embodiments of the invention provide that the latching element is latched in the latching position of the wall element in a latching opening, wherein a diameter of the latching opening at least partially larger, preferably at least 1.5 or 2 times larger than the diameter of the latching element, measured in a plane of the latching opening, is.
In terms of a self-centering of the wall elements in their latching position, preferred variants provide that the latching element is latched in the latching position of the wall element in a latching opening, wherein a diameter of the latching opening is formed tapering in at least one direction. The detent openings can in this sense, e.g. be at least partially wedge-shaped.
Preferably, it is also provided that the protective fence in addition to and distanced from the guide means comprises a bearing device, wherein the Wandele- ment mounted in or on the bearing means, in a pivoting direction towards the guide means is pivotable. It is particularly advantageous if the bearing device has a, limited by at least two opposing bearing walls bearing channel and the wall element is inserted into the bearing channel. In order to prevent rattling of the wall elements, it can further be provided in this connection that the wall element in the bearing channel, preferably spring-loaded counteracting one of the bearing walls, the pivoting direction.
In addition to the protective fence itself, the invention also relates to a method for mounting a safety fence according to the invention, wherein it is provided in this method that the wall element is guided by the guide device relative to the support element in the direction of the latching position along the, at least one linear web component having guide track.
As already explained at the outset, it can be provided that the wall element also undergoes additional movement components during assembly on the support element. In particular, e.g. be provided that the wall element is pivoted in the direction of the guide means before it is guided along the at least one linear path component of the guide track.
Further features and details of a preferred embodiment of the invention will be explained with reference to the description of the figures. Show it:

In the introduction, it is pointed out that, in the sense of optimal representation and traceability, the various figures for this embodiment of the invention explained here are drawn at different scales.
1 now shows a section of a protective fence 1 according to the invention, in which in each case a wall element 2 is fastened in its latching position on two support elements 3. The protective fence 1 of this embodiment is thus constructed in a modular manner. Its length can be adapted to the respective task. The support members 3 are formed in the embodiment shown as pillars or columns, which are mounted in the ground and projecting from this vertically upwards. At the upper end of the uprights are the guide means 6. Below the wall elements are held in the storage facilities 16. The wall elements 2 are in the illustrated position in each case in the latching position, in which the latching elements 4 are engaged in the, in Fig. 3 enlarged latching openings 13 shown enlarged. The wall elements 2 may be configured very differently as the support elements 3. Conveniently, the wall elements 2 are plate-like elements, which however need not necessarily be flat. The wall elements can be designed as grids or as self-contained or partially closed plates, to name but a few examples.
2 and 3 now show arranged in this embodiment at the upper end of the support members 3 guide means 6 for guiding the wall element 2 relative to the respective support member 3 toward the latching position along the linear path component 7 of the guideway 8. In the side view of FIG 2, the guide channel 11 defined by the guide walls 9 and 10 is particularly easy to see, in which the guide track 8 is located. In the
showed embodiment, the guideway 8 between the guide walls 9 and 10 exclusively from the linear path component 7, which, as explained above, but not necessarily be so. The insertion opening is designated by 12 through which the wall element 2 is inserted into the guide device 6 and the guide channel 11 before the wall element 2 is guided in the direction of its latching position along the linear path component 7.
3 shows a frontal view of the guide device 6 according to the invention. In this view, the detent opening 13 is particularly easy to see in terms of its design. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the latching opening 13 is arranged in one of the guide walls 10 of the guide device 6. Shown dashed is the cross section of the locking element 4, as it engages in the latching position of the wall element 2 in the latching opening 13. In Fig. 3 is particularly good to see that in preferred embodiments such as this, the diameter 14 of the locking hole 13 at least partially larger than the diameter 15 of the detent element 4 shown here in dashed lines, measured in the plane of the detent opening 13 is. Furthermore, it can also be clearly seen in FIG. 3 that the diameter 14 of the latching opening 13 tapers in at least one direction. In the illustrated embodiment, this results in a total of at least partially wedge-like shape of the detent opening 13, which leads to a centering of the wall element 2, when the wall element 2 is pulled together with latched locking element 4 after releasing gravity against the linear path component 7 down.
4 and 5 show side and front views of a bearing device 16. In particular, in the side view of FIG. 4 of the bearing walls 18 and 19 limited bearing channel 20 is particularly good to see in the lower end of the wall element 2 at the assembly is introduced. In the embodiment shown is located on one of the bearing walls, here the bearing wall 18, an insertion bevel 5, which facilitates the insertion of the wall element 2 in the bearing channel 20. The bearing wall 19 is formed in the embodiment shown as a resilient element or spring tongue. The pre-reached by this resilient element Vor 8 • · • ♦ · «* ·
Stress prevents rattling of the wall element 2 after completion of the assembly, when it comes to vibrations or the like.
Fig. 6 now shows a detail in the region of the locking element 4, wherein 5 is in the selected representation of FIG. 6, the wall element 2 in its latching position in which the locking element 4 engages in the latching opening 13. The locking element 4 is shown in the Ausführungsbeispie! designed as a spring-loaded bolt. For spring loading of this bolt, the biasing spring 21 is provided. It presses the bolt of the locking element 4 in the direction of the in Fig. 6 ge-10 showed position in which the locking element 4 engages in the latching opening 13. In addition to the biasing spring 21, the latching element 4 shown here at the latching opening 13 opposite end of the latching element on a head 23 with widened diameter. By means of this head 23, the locking element 4 can be pulled against the bias of the biasing spring 21 from the locking opening 13, 15 when the wall element 2 is to be dismounted from the support member 3. In the illustrated embodiment, the locking element 4 is guided in a locking element guide 22 in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the locking element 4 linearly displaceable. The latching element guide 22 may be a part of the wall element 2, possibly formed in one piece. 20
For the sake of completeness, it is pointed out that the locking element 4 shown here in the form of the spring-loaded bolt is of course not the only possible embodiment. It may as well be pivotable or otherwise movable detent elements, e.g. act in the form of spring tongues with corresponding snap-25 heads.
The mounting method of the safety fence will now be explained in detail with reference to FIGS. 7 to 24. 7 to 12 show a support element 3 and a wall element 2 to be fastened thereto completely. FIGS. 13 to 18 show an enlarged detail in the region of the bearing device 16. FIGS. 19 to 24 show a correspondingly enlarged detail in the region of the guide device 6. FIGS. 7, 13 and 19 each show the initial position of the wall element 2 not yet fastened to the supporting element 2. A first intermediate step is in Figs. 8, 14 and 20, a second intermediate step in Figs. 9, 15 and 21, a third intermediate step in Figs. 10, 16 and 22, a final intermediate step is shown in Figs. 11, 17 and 23 , FIGS. 12, 18 and 24 show the wall element 2 in the latching position and thus the completely assembled state.
First, the wall element 2 is completely detached from the support element 3, as shown in FIGS. 7, 13 and 19. As a first step of the assembly, the wall element 2 is now introduced into the bearing channel 20 of the bearing device 16. Subsequently, the wall element 2 is pivoted during its storage in the bearing device 16 in the pivoting direction 17 with its upper end toward the guide device 6, wherein the wall element 2 thereby continues into the storage channel 2 slips down and the wall element 2 is guided above in the direction of the insertion opening 12 of the guide device 6. Imin the Fig. 10,16 and 22 shown intermediate step hits the front end of the locking element 4 in this pivotal movement on the guide wall 10 of the guide device 6. By further pivoting in the pivoting direction 17 in the intermediate position shown in FIG. 11,17 and 23 is the locking element 4 is then deflected while compressing the biasing spring 21. In the region of the bearing device 16, deflection of the bearing wall 19, which is in the form of an elastic biasing spring, causes the wall element 2 to be prestressed rattle-free in the bearing device 16 in this intermediate position as well as in the end position according to FIGS. 12, 18 and 24.
As the last movement in the direction of the latching position of the wall element 2 shown in FIGS. 12, 18 and 24, the wall element 2 is displaced along the linear path component 7 of the guide track 8. In the exemplary embodiment shown, this is a displacement movement vertically upward. In other words, the wall element 2 of the variant shown here is raised, in which case the upper end of the wall element 2 is guided in the guide channel 9 and 10 bounded guide channel 11 along the guide track 8. Is the wall element 2 or the latching element 4 correspondingly far along the linear path component 7 Φ ·· »< 4 the guide rail 8 has been moved, the front end of the locking element 4 strikes the detent opening 13. By means of the biasing spring 21, the detent element 4 then engages automatically in the detent opening 13 the wall element 2 reaches its latching position optionally with a centering by 5 the shape of the latching opening 13 and is thus fully assembled.
For disassembly, if this is necessary, it is sufficient if necessary to pull the locking element 2 using a corresponding tool in the illustrated in Fig. 23 deflected position and thus unlatching. The force of gravity 10 then pulls down the wall element 2 correspondingly until the wall element 2 is seated at its lower end in the position shown in FIG. 17 at the end of the bearing channel 20. Subsequently, the wall element 2 can be pivoted counter to the pivoting direction 17 and then removed from the storage device 16 accordingly. The procedure for disassembly is thus in reverse order as in the assembly.
