Crosswind deflection element for preventing sedimentation

Abstract

The invention relates to a crosswind deflection element ( 10 ) for assembly on open ground for the specific reduction or prevention of a deposit of snow, air-borne sand or the like, with a baseplate ( 1 ) at the bottom, for anchoring into the ground, with a central post ( 2 ) rising up from the baseplate ( 1 ) and with a plurality of guide plates ( 3 ) mounted on the post ( 2 ), wherein the guide plates ( 3 ) are provided projecting in vertical orientation in cruciform manner on the post ( 2 ) and the length of the guide plates ( 3 ) increases from the baseplate ( 1 ) upward.

1 . A crosswind deflection element for erection on open ground for the specific reduction or prevention of a deposit of snow, wind-borne sand or the like, with the element comprising:
 a baseplate at the bottom for anchoring into the ground,   a central post rising up from the baseplate, and with   a plurality of guide plates mounted on the post and projecting in vertical orientation in a cruciform manner on the post, the length of the guide plates increasing from the baseplate upward.   
     
     
         2 . The crosswind deflection element according to  claim 1 , wherein the guide plates are arranged at predetermined spacings from each other for the formation of permeable clearances. 
     
     
         3 . The crosswind deflection element according to  claim 1 , wherein the guide plates are at least at their free ends coupled to each other such that they form four sail-like wind guide elements that project in a cruciform manner from the post. 
     
     
         4 . The crosswind deflection element according to, further comprising:
 upper and lower cross members, which project from the post in a cruciform manner, for retaining the guide plates.   
     
     
         5 . The crosswind deflection element according to  claim 1 , wherein the baseplate is realized in a two-piece form, and is provided with an installation aid that is a plug-in system of the type pipe-in-pipe. 
     
     
         6 . The crosswind deflection element according to  claim 1 , wherein the guide plates or the wind guide elements formed of the guide plates are additionally secured to upper and/or lower strut members at upper and/or lower ends of the post. 
     
     
         7 . The crosswind deflection element according to  claims 1 , wherein the guide plates consist of sheets of a metal material that are longitudinally profiled or corrugated. 
     
     
         8 . The crosswind deflection element according to  claim 1 , wherein the guide plates are rigidly mounted in a circumferential frame that itself is attached to the post. 
     
     
         9 . The crosswind deflection element according to  claim 1 , wherein the guide plates are connected to each other and secured in their position by coupling ropes between upper and lower cross members. 
     
     
         10 . The crosswind deflection element according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an anti-rotation device for securing the element against rotation.   
     
     
         11 . The crosswind deflection element according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 means for avoiding a rotation of the element during to the transport through the air by a helicopter or the like in the form of a detachably mountable wind cone that perpendicularly projects laterally from the post by a rod.   
     
     
         12 . The crosswind deflection element according to  claim 1 , wherein the length of the guide plates increases from the bottom upward up to approximately the double.
