Intrusion-prevention enclosure

Abstract

An intrusion-prevention enclosure, of the type which comprises a plurality of modular panels, which can be mutually associated in an orderly and predefined manner so as to provide a barrier structure, and comprising a plurality of ground supporting uprights provided, substantially proximate to a respective upper end, with detachable engagement elements, which can engage in openings of the panels, for the facilitated assembly of the enclosure by a single operator.

1 . An intrusion-prevention enclosure, comprising a plurality of modular panels which are associatable to each other in an orderly and predefined manner so as to provide a barrier structure; a plurality of ground supporting uprights; and detachable engagement means, which are engageable in openings of said panels, that enable facilitated assembly of said enclosure by a single operator, said detachable engagement means being arranged substantially proximate to a respective upper end of said uprights.  
   
   
       2 . The intrusion-prevention enclosure of  claim 1 , wherein each one of said panels is constituted by a plurality of rods, which are mutually associated so as to form a grid, said detachable engagement means being engageable in meshes of said panel, so as to support the panel hung from at least one said uprights.  
   
   
       3 . The intrusion-prevention enclosure of  claim 2 , comprising fixing means for detachably fixing said panels to said uprights, said fixing means being arrangeable at preset heights along said uprights.  
   
   
       4 . The enclosure of  claim 1 , wherein said engagement means comprise at least one wing, which is substantially L-shaped and associated peripherally with said upper end of each one of said uprights, said at least one wing having a free side directed substantially upward and adapted to be inserted in an upper mesh of each one of said panels.  
   
   
       5 . The enclosure of  claim 1 , comprising a plurality of detachable anchoring elements, each associated with a respective upper end and provided peripherally with at least one wing for supporting said panel, each said anchoring element being provided with at least one folded tab, which is suitable to be fitted in a cavity of said upright upper end, substantially so as to straddle the upper end for engagement with said upright.  
   
   
       6 . The enclosure of  claim 5 , wherein each one of said anchoring elements is constituted by a plate, which is substantially folded at 90°, each portion of the plate comprising a pair of said wings and one of said folded tabs.  
   
   
       7 . The enclosure of  claim 4 , wherein said upright upper end is provided with at least one peripherally rigidly coupled said wing for supporting said panel.  
   
   
       8 . The enclosure of  claim 7 , wherein said upright upper end is provided with a pair of said peripherally rigidly coupled wings on each one of at least two adjacent sides of said upright upper end.  
   
   
       9 . The enclosure of  claim 3 , wherein each one of said uprights is internally hollow and is provided with a plurality of slots, said fixing means comprising: at least one screw element, which is folded substantially in an L-shape and is insertable with a first portion thereof in at least one said slot that is provided at a predefined height along said hollow upright; at least one plate having at least one hole for fitting on a second threaded portion, which protrudes from said slot, of said screw element; and at least one closure nut, which is suitable to be screwed onto said second threaded portion for fastening between said plate and said upright at least one said rod of at least one said panel, for detachable fixing of said panel to said upright.  
   
   
       10 . The enclosure of  claim 9 , wherein during the screwing of said nut on said second threaded portion, said first portion abuts inside said upright against one of adjacent sides of said upright upper end which are adjacent to a side of said upright that is provided with said slots for insertion of said respective screw element, whereby to allow providing a rotation-preventing coupling and therefore allowing a single operator to fasten said panels to said uprights.  
   
   
       11 . The enclosure of  claim 10 , wherein said at least one plate comprises at least one folded edge, which is adapted to avoid the extraction of said rod.  
   
   
       12 . The enclosure of  claim 10 , wherein said at least one plate comprises two mutually opposite folded edges and is adapted to fasten to said upright two vertical lateral said rods, each one of said rods belonging to a respective panel of two converging panels.  
   
   
       13 . The enclosure of  claim 1 , wherein said panels are of a type with a grid of rods and comprise a plurality of folds, which are distributed substantially horizontally and are adapted for structure stiffening.
