Abstract
A guard assembly for use on a guy-wire of the type having an end terminating in a loop, or other style, comprises an elongated tubular member of a relatively rigid plastic having a hollow interior throughout its length. The tubular member has an included single hollow tubular member, accessible though a slot, extending longitudinally thereof between opposite ends to allow the tubular member to be in surrounding relationship by being moved laterally thereover with the guy-wire hollow interior through the split. The guard can be snapped onto the wire using pressure and secured into place with a u-bolt or similar device.
Claims18
A light trap panel for a horticulture house, the trap comprising:
- a plurality of panels having a length and width, wherein each of the panels defines a waveform for at least a portion, the waveform extending in the width direction of the panel, where;
- in the plurality of panels are spaced a distance D apart, such as their waveform portions define a plurality of non-linear air passages for allowing airflow (AF) into or out of the horticulture house at a velocity (V), wherein the air passages have a resistance to airflow (RAF) and a light reduction factor (LRF), wherein each of the waveform portions has a plurality of light deflecting walls (LDPs) orientated norvparallei to the direction of the waveform, and wherein the LDPs protrude outward from the panel and each LDW has at least two surface areas substantially perpendicular to the panel adapted to block light from advancing beyond said LDW.
A light trap for a horticulture house, the trap comprising a plurality of panels having a length and width wherein each of the panels defines a waveform for at least a portion, wherein the waveform of each plurality of panel travels in the width direction of the panel:, includes a peafc-to-peak amplitude in the range of about 0.5 to about three inches, including a wavelength haying a distance between successive peaks in the range of about 2 to about 8 inches, and includes a plurality of light deflective walls (LDPs) orientated non-parallel to the direction of the waveform, wherein the LDPs protrude outward from the panel and each LDW has at least two surfaces area substantially perpendicular to the panel;
- and wherein the plurality of the panels are spaced at a distance D apart such that their waveform portions define a plurality of non-linear air passages for allowing an airflow (AF) into or out of the horticulture house at a velocity (V), the plurality of the passages having a resistance to air flow (RAF) and a light reduction factor (LRF).
The trap claim of 14, wherein the plurality of LDPs has a hair cell pattern concentration of about 95% to about 100% on the fop surface of the waveform, and increase LRF by a factor of at least 1.2×.
In a horticulture house, a panel for positioning within a light trap having a height and a width, the panel comprising:
- an interface edge for connecting to at least one of a housing or a building;
- waveform defined by at least a portion of the panel, wherein the waveform travels in the width direction of the panel, includes a peak-to-peak amplitude in the range of about 0.5 inches to about three inches, includes a plurality of tight deflecting wails (LDPs) orientated non-parallel to the direction of the waveform wherein the LDPs protrude outward from the panel and each LDE has at least two surfaces area substantially perpendicular to the panel:
- and wherein the panel may be spaced a distance D apart from a second panel to define non-linear air passages for allowing an airflow (AF) into or out of a building at velocity (V), the passage having a resistance to airflow (RAF) and a light reduction factor (LRF).
