GABION Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC E02D17/20 

FIELD: construction; prefabricated engineering structures.

SUBSTANCE: invention is a prefabricated engineering structure designed to protect protected objects from the effects of damaging elements such as fragments and bullets, as well as to prevent unauthorized entry of vehicles into the protected area by creating a physical obstacle. The gabion consists of a bottomless mesh frame formed by side sections of mesh panels consisting of metal wire, while the mesh panels are adjacent with their end ribs to one another and are connected to each other using flexible twisted wire, forming a rigid box for bulk materials, and the section walls are lined with textile material on the inside along their perimeter. The gabion consists of several folding modular sections, each of which has sides located longitudinally to the gabion modules, formed by two identical sections of mesh, connected in the middle part of the longitudinal sides of the section by flexible twisted wire, and this connection is made movable, with the possibility of folding the longitudinal sides of the section inward so that the transverse sections, when folded, fit snugly against the longitudinal sections.

EFFECT: providing the ability to quickly erect and quickly dismantle the gabion structure, increasing the load-bearing capacity under the action of a transverse horizontal load, preventing, in the event of damage to one module from which the filler spills out, the rapid loss of the protective properties of the gabion as a whole, and hiding the load-bearing frame.
