DE29510165U1 - Flood protection for buildings on standing and flowing water - Google Patents

Description

Description:

Flood protection for buildings on flowing or standing water is achieved by a C-rail (Figure 1), slotted pipe (Figure 2), triangular rail (Figure 3), or profile rail (Figure 4) embedded in the ground or attached to the ground or to the horizontal or vertical wall of the building to be protected.

The area to be protected or secured is covered with a waterproof tarpaulin appropriate to the respective circumstances and is secured and securely sealed in the flood protection frame by inserting it into the appropriately mounted profile (Figures 1 to 4) with a hose (filling medium: air).

Since the tarpaulin clings to the building and is thus supported when the water rises, the tarpaulin only has to withstand the static water pressure and can therefore prevent flooding.

After the flood has receded, the hose is relieved of pressure and the tarpaulin can be easily removed from the rail (Figures 1 to 4), rolled up and can be used again in the event of a subsequent flood.

State of the art:

Problem:

So far only weirs, dams, sheet piling or sandbags.

The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem that houses and buildings have so far only been able to be adequately protected, and houses or buildings are sometimes submerged in water up to the first floor and higher, causing enormous financial losses and the apartments cannot be used for weeks after the flood.

Solution:

This problem is solved with the features listed in claim 1 up to the height of the installed tarpaulin. The system cannot, of course, protect against water that flows in through the sewer system in the house or other openings, e.g. a leak-proof roof. Other precautions must be taken for this.
Description of the implementation examples:

Figure 1: Sheet 1 ; C-rail with hose and tarpaulin Figure 2 : Sheet 1 ; Slotted pipe with hose and tarpaulin Figure 3 : Sheet 2 ; Triangular rail with hose and tarpaulin Figure 4 : Sheet 2 ; Profile rail with hose and tarpaulin

Sheet 3

The implementation examples:

Figure 1 to 4

The rail is embedded in the ground, or on the ground or on the horizontal or vertical wall, sealed against the ground or wall. A tarpaulin with a hose attached to the outer edge is inserted into the respective profile and inflated with air, sealing the tarpaulin in the profile so that it is watertight.

Benefits achieved:

This invention means that entire buildings or even streets can be protected against water and, above all, against the mud that the water carries with it. Possible leaks can be pumped out with little effort.

Additional advantages:

The flood protection device is reusable! because after the flood, the flood protection system can be easily removed, stored rolled up and reused in the event of a subsequent flood.

Claims (3)

Claim for protection reference number: 295 10 165. 2 1. Flood protection for buildings on standing and flowing waters, characterized in that a C-rail (Figure 1), slotted pipe (Figure 2), triangular rail (Figure 3) or profile rail (Figure 4) is embedded in the ground or attached to the ground, to the horizontal or vertical wall of the building to be protected. Barge claim 2. The area to be protected is covered with a tarpaulin appropriate to the respective circumstances and is secured and sealed with a hose in the flood protection frame by inserting it into the appropriately mounted profile (Figure 1 to Figure 4). Claim for protection 3. The hose seals when filled with air.
