Modular safety fencing system and method for use thereof

Abstract

Disclosed is a modular safety fencing system and a method for using a modular safety fencing system. The modular safety fencing system has at least one module having a rigid box and a covering, at least two telescopic side frames adjustable according to required height to enable the modular safety fencing system to extend between top surface and bottom surface of building structure, top connector connecting the modular safety fencing system to top surface, and at least one fastener for securely fastening the at least one module to bottom surface. When the modular safety fencing system is in use, the covering at least partially covers space between top surface and bottom surface of building structure.

1 . A modular safety fencing system comprising:
 at least one module comprising a rigid box and a covering;
 at least two telescopic side frames that are adjustable according to a required height of the modular safety fencing system for enabling the modular safety fencing system to extend between a top surface and a bottom surface of a building structure; 
   a top connector for connecting the modular safety fencing system to the top surface; and   at least one fastener for securely fastening the at least one module to the bottom surface,   
       wherein, when the modular safety fencing system is in use, the covering at least partially covers a space between the top surface and the bottom surface of the building structure. 
     
     
         2 . The modular safety fencing system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of first adaptive coverings associated with the at least two telescopic side frames, wherein the covering is removably attached to a given first adaptive covering using an attachment means. 
     
     
         3 . The modular safety fencing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the covering comprises a first portion, a first flap, and a second flap, the first portion being arranged in between the first flap and the second flap, and wherein a first side of the first flap and a first side of the second flap are attached to the first portion, a second side of the first flap is provided with a first attachment part and a second side of the second flap is provided with a second attachment part, the second sides of the first and second flaps being opposite to the first sides of the first and second flaps, respectively. 
     
     
         4 . The modular safety fencing system according to  claim 3 , wherein the at least one module comprises a plurality of modules that are interconnectable with each other, wherein, when the modular safety fencing system is in use, coverings of adjacent modules are interconnected with each other via interlinking of their corresponding first and second attachment parts. 
     
     
         5 . The modular safety fencing system according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one adaptive telescopic frame and at least one second adaptive covering associated with the at least one adaptive telescopic frame, wherein the at least one adaptive telescopic frame is adjustable according to a required width of the modular safety fencing system for enabling the modular safety fencing system to extend between two side surfaces of the building structure. 
     
     
         6 . The modular safety fencing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the covering is stored in the rigid box, and the covering is rollable bidirectionally using at least one handle 
     
     
         7 . The modular safety fencing system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a rail system along the at least two telescopic side frames and a rolling means arranged inside the rigid box, wherein the rolling means, in operation, guides the covering to roll along the rail system. 
     
     
         8 . The modular safety fencing system according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one first railing, wherein the at least one first railing is employed to removably attach the modular safety fencing system to at least one of: an external elevator, a scaffolding. 
     
     
         9 . The modular safety fencing system according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one second railing, wherein the at least one second railing is employed to removably attach the modular safety fencing system to at least one prefabricated component in the building structure. 
     
     
         10 . The modular safety fencing system according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one fastening means attached to a given module, wherein the at least one fastening means is employed to movably attach the given module to at least one of: at least one other module, a surface of the building structure. 
     
     
         11 . The method for using a modular safety fencing system of  claim 1 , the method comprising:
 installing the modular safety fencing system in a building structure; and
 unrolling a covering to at least partially cover a space between a top surface and a bottom surface of the building structure.
