Abstract

A fence module is adapted for installation without required anchoring buy providing a base frame and a plurality of upright supporting posts extending from the base frame. At least three fence sections extend between the supporting posts. A first fence section at a first extreme end of the fence module, a second fence section at a second extreme end of the fence module, and a third fence section angularly positioned between the first and second fence sections. A pair of vibration sensing modules are used to detect intruders, one applied to the first fence section and a second applied to the third fence section, with the first fence section positioned on the secure end of the protected zone.

Claims

1. A fence section, comprising:

a rectangular shaped planer base frame including a front support beam, a rear support beam, a first lateral support beam coupled perpendicular to the first and second support beams substantially at respective ends thereof, a second lateral support beam coupled perpendicular to the first and second support beams substantially at respective ends thereof, at least one additional lateral support beam coupled in perpendicular to said first and second support beams substantially at respective ends thereof at a position between said first and said second lateral to support beams;

a first vertical support extending perpendicular to the plane defined by the base frame, the first vertical support coupled to the base frame substantially proximate to said first lateral support beam;

a second vertical support extending perpendicular to the plane defined by the base frame, the second vertical support coupled to the base frame such that the second vertical support is closer to the front support beam of the base frame than the first vertical support is to the front support beam of the base frame;

a third vertical support extending perpendicular to the plane defined by the base frame, the third vertical support coupled to the base frame substantially proximate to said additional lateral support beam, the third vertical support coupled to the base frame such that the line between the first vertical support and the third vertical support is substantially perpendicular to at least the first lateral support beam;

a fourth vertical support extending perpendicular to the plane defined by the base frame, the fourth vertical support coupled to the base frame substantially proximate to said additional lateral support beam, the fourth vertical support coupled to the base frame such that the line between the second vertical support and the fourth vertical support is substantially perpendicular to at least the first lateral support beam;

a first planar fence section coupled between said first and third vertical supports, the first fence section extending from a first end of the first and third vertical supports to a point proximate a second end of the vertical supports, whereby said first end of the first and third vertical supports is coupled to the base frame;

a second planar fence section coupled between said second and fourth vertical supports, the second fence section extending from a first end of the second and fourth vertical supports to a point proximate a second end of the vertical supports, said first end of the second and fourth vertical supports is coupled to the base frame;

a third fence section coupled between the first end of the second and fourth vertical supports and also between a point along the first and third vertical supports a predefined distance from the first end of said first and third vertical supports, the third fence section defining a plane that forms an acute angle with the plane defined by the base frame at the second and fourth vertical supports;

a first sensing module coupled to the first fence section to sense vibrations applied through the first fence section; and

a second sensing module coupled to the third fence section to sense vibrations applied through the third fence section.

2. The fence section of claim 1, further including a razor coil configuration provided on top of the base frame between said line defined by the first and third supporting posts and said rear support beam of said base frame.
