Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cage for containing and carrying inert material, particularly composed of wire mesh walls, as generally known from EP 2 581 499 and as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
  • baskets or cages mainly made of metal, and adapted to be filled with substantially inert materials, such as bricks, rocks, stones and/or pebbles, are known to be used to form retaining bases/walls, embankments or means for retaining unstable banks.
  • these cages are composed of several substantially flat surfaces, each consisting of a wire mesh, which are connected together to form a container that will define an inner volume designed to be filled with the material, in use, and an upper opening for loading.
  • the cage often has the shape of a parallelepiped, with a base surface and four vertical surfaces or walls, connected to the base at their bottom and to the adjacent vertical walls at their sides, to define an inner volume and form the aforementioned upper opening.
  • the vertical walls are known in the art to be connected to the base in various manners.
  • Welding methods may be used to connected the surfaces at the adjacent sides otherwise wire elements may be suitably connected around the mesh of both surfaces at the sides.
  • EP1505211 discloses a Z-shaped hook for connecting the vertical wall and the base, such that both the first two horizontal rods of the base are encircled.
  • the present invention can provide a cage that is able to ensure stability of the structure during loading, unloading and transport, and also to simplify assembly of each individual cage and stacking of a plurality of cages for creating complex structures.
  • the cage of the present disclosure is generally designated by numeral 1.
  • the cage 1 is composed of several substantially flat surfaces, each consisting of a wire mesh, composed of horizontal and vertical rods in crisscrossed pattern.
  • the horizontal and vertical rods of each surface are perpendicular to each other, to form a rectangular wire mesh.
  • rod is intended to designate a reinforcing rod, bar or shaft having an elongate shape and a substantially constant, e.g. circular, section, with a diameter ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm.
  • the rods are preferably made of galvanized metal, to be thus protected from galvanic corrosion.
  • the cage 1 has the shape of a parallelepiped, and comprises a substantially rectangular base 2 and four vertical surfaces or walls 3, each connected to the base 2 at its bottom end 3 and to the two adjacent vertical walls at its respective lateral ends 3b.
  • the base 2 comprises a plurality of horizontal rods 2o and a plurality of vertical rods 2v.
  • the vertical rods 2v are welded to the horizontal rods 2o and are placed both above and below the horizontal rods 2o to impart strength to the base 2.
  • the vertical walls 3 may be also differentiated into long walls 3c and short walls 3d.
  • the cage 1 defines an inner volume that is designed to be occupied by the inert material when it is loaded, and an upper opening for loading it.
  • each vertical wall 3 and the base 2 at the bottom end 3a is ensured by the provision of one hook 5 for each vertical rod 4 of the vertical wall 3, which may take different forms according to the relevant vertical wall.
  • connection is provided by a U-shaped hook 5a, known in the art, for joining each vertical rod 4 to the first vertical rod 2a of the base 2.
  • Such U-shaped hook system 5a is also used to join the vertical walls 3 together; according to the present embodiment, the U-shaped hook 5a is provided at the ends of the horizontal rods of the long vertical walls 3c, for connecting each horizontal rod to the first vertical rod of each adjacent short vertical wall 3c.
  • a J-like conformation is used for the hook 5b for connecting each vertical rod 4 of the long vertical walls 3c.
  • the J-shaped hook 5b comprises a first vertical portion 5c, substantially perpendicular to the base surface, and continues with a first loop 5d which encircles the first horizontal rod 2b of the base 2.
  • the first horizontal rod 2b is the outermost rod of all the horizontal rods in the base 2 and is followed by a second horizontal rod 2c and a third horizontal rod 2d, in this order.
  • the first loop 5d engages the first horizontal rod 2b and defines a curve at a substantially 90° angle.
  • the hook 5d Downstream from the first loop 5d, the hook 5d has a first straight portion 5e, substantially parallel to the support surface.
  • support surface is intended to designate, for example, the area of the ground upon which the cage is designed to be placed, or the top surface of a cage upon which an additional cage is stacked to form a barrier and/or a retaining wall.
  • the portion 5e extends below the base 2, reaching past the second horizontal rod 2c.
  • This first straight portion 5e is useful to impart proper stability to the cage 1 during unloading and assembly, i.e. when no load of inert material is present. Also, it facilitates stacking of a plurality of cages for creating complex structures.
  • a second straight portion 5f is provided, which extends in a direction incident on the support surface, to extend above the third horizontal rod 2d.
  • the second straight portion 5f has an imaginary projection on the plane normal to the support surface and to the long vertical wall 3c which, with reference to the trigonometric circumference, has an angular coefficient that lies in the second quadrant.
  • the second straight portion 5f is inclined to the support surface at an angle ⁇ ranging from 10° e 70°.
  • a second loop 5g and a third straight portion 5h are provided for anchoring the long vertical wall 3c to the base 2.
  • the loop 5g encircles the aforementioned third horizontal rod 2d.
  • the second loop 5g engages the third horizontal rod 2d and defines a curve at a substantially 180° angle.
  • the third straight portion 5h extends in a direction incident on the support surface.
  • the third straight portion 5h has an imaginary projection on the plane normal to the support surface and to the long vertical wall 3c which, with reference to the trigonometric circumference, has an angular coefficient that lies in the second quadrant.
  • the third straight portion 5h is inclined to the support surface by an angle ⁇ which, according to a preferred embodiment, is equal to the aforementioned angle ⁇ , such that the second straight portion 5f and the third straight portion 5h are preferably parallel.
  • the angle ⁇ may generally assume values that can be also other (greater or smaller) than those mentioned above for the angle ⁇ .
  • the second loop 5g and the third straight portion 5h are designed to ensure safety of the hook 5b and impart optimized structural stability to the cage 1 during loading and transport.
  • the cage 1 comprises at least two comb-like hooks 7 comprising a substantially flat quadrangular body 7a extending in a longitudinal direction, and having a top edge 7b and a bottom edge 7c.
  • the comb-like hook 7 comprises a plurality of comb teeth 7d, substantially extending the body 7a and bent at least partially into a U shape.
  • Each comb-like hook 7 also comprises a plurality of holes 7e formed in the body 7a and longitudinally arranged along such body 7a.
  • Each of the two long vertical walls 3c of the cage 1 comprises, as described above, a plurality of horizontal rods 6, including a top horizontal rod 6a characterized by being the farthest rod from the base 2.
  • each comb-like hook 7 partially engages the top horizontal rod 6a by the aforementioned U-shaped comb teeth 7d, while the comb-like hook 7 is left free of rotating about the top horizontal bar 6a.
  • the cage 1 is lifted by hoist means, not shown, which engage the cage 1 at the holes 7e of the two comb-like hooks 7, the latter assuming thus a position transverse to the support surface.
  • the cage 1 Once the cage 1 has been positioned, it is released from the hoist means and the comb-like hooks 7 are rotated to such a position that the body 7a, substantially parallel to the support surface, will rest on the inert material itself or on a closing surface 8, if any.
  • these comb-like hooks afford simple and practical transport, and can assume a position that ensures the lack of bulk transverse to the support surface once transport has been completed, thereby allowing a plurality of cages to be stacked one above the other to form complex structures such as barriers and/or retaining walls.
