Description

Dispositif pour signaler la presence dune personne sur une voie de circulation 0n connait dejä divers dispositifs pour signaler la presence dune personne sur une voie de circulation, notamment d'ouvriers ou de jardiniers occupes ä des travaux sur la voie meine ou ä proximite immediate de cette voie. Device for signaling the presence of a person on a traffic lane Various devices are already known for signaling the presence of a person on a traffic lane, in particular workers or gardeners engaged in work on the main road or in the immediate vicinity of this road. way.

Ces dispositifs sont en general constitues par des habits, vestes et/ou pantalons, en tissus, impermeables ou non ou en matiere plastique specialement traites pour les rendre fluorescents. These devices generally consist of clothes, jackets and/or pants, in fabrics, waterproof or not, or in plastic material specially treated to make them fluorescent.

Ces vetements ne sont evidemment pas faits sur me- sure et il est de ce fait indispensable de disposer dune collection relativement importante de tailles differentes et d'un nombre assez eleve d'exemplaires pour chaque tadle. En outre de tels vetements sont chers. These garments are obviously not made to measure and it is therefore essential to have a relatively large collection of different sizes and a fairly high number of copies for each tadle. Besides, such clothes are expensive.

0n a dejä essaye d'obvier ä ces inconvenients en faisant simplement usage dun ruban fluorescent for- mant une boucle souple que 1'usager met en travers sur son torse. La largeur de ce ruban ne peut cependant depasser une certaine valeur notamment pour ne pas gener 1'usager dans ses mouvements et occupations de sorte qu'il ne peut etre facilement apere qu'il. une dis- tance relativement faible. Attempts have already been made to obviate these disadvantages by simply making use of a fluorescent ribbon forming a flexible loop which the user puts across his chest. However, the width of this tape cannot exceed a certain value, in particular so as not to hinder the user in his movements and occupations so that he cannot be easily noticed. a relatively short distance.

La presente Invention, qui a precisement pour but d'obvier ä tous ces inconvenients, a pour objet un dis- positif pour signaler la presence dune personne sur une voie de circulation, caracterise par 1e fait qu'il com- prend une ceinture s'adaptant autour du tronc de la personne et ä laquelle est fixee au moins une bretelle, se plagant sur son epaule, au moins 1'un de ces elements, ceinture ou bretelle, etant fluorescent. The present invention, which precisely aims to obviate all these drawbacks, has as its object a device for signaling the presence of a person on a traffic lane, characterized by the fact that it comprises a belt fitting around the trunk of the person and to which is fixed at least one strap, lying on his shoulder, at least 1 of these elements, belt or strap, being fluorescent.

Le dessin annexe represente, ä titre d'exemple, une forme d'execution de 1'objet de la presente Invention La fig. 1 montre schematiquement une personne vue de face portant un dispositif selon 1'invention. The appended drawing represents, by way of example, one form of execution of the object of the present invention. FIG. 1 schematically shows a person seen from the front wearing a device according to the invention.

La fig. 2 est une vue de dos de cette meine personne. La fig. 3 est une vue similaire ä celle de la fig. 1, illustrant 1e mode de fixation du dispositif sur 1'usager. Le dispositif de signahsation represente au dessin est constitue par une ceinture 1 ä laquelle sont fixees deux bretelles 2 et 3 se croisant en 4 dans 1e dos de la per sonne (fig. 2). fig. 2 is a back view of this person. fig. 3 is a view similar to that of FIG. 1, illustrating the first mode of attachment of the device to the user. The signing device represented in the drawing consists of a belt 1 to which are fixed two shoulder straps 2 and 3 crossing at 4 in the person's back (fig. 2).

La ceinture 1 de meine que les bretelles 2 et 3 sont en materiau elastique, de preference en matiere plas- tique, contenant des charges fluorescentes et de couleur rouge orange. En variante, 1e dispositif pourrait 6vi- RTI ID="0001.0273" WI="14" HE="4" LX="1140" LY="1626"> demment etre d'autres couleurs, par exemple jaune ou blanche. The belt 1 as well as the straps 2 and 3 are made of elastic material, preferably plastic, containing fluorescent fillers and of orange-red color. Alternatively, the device could be of other colors, for example yellow or white.

La largeur des bandes constituant les bretelles et la ceinture est suffisante pour permettre ä tout usager de la route de distinguer une personne munie de ce dis- positif ä tres grande distance, par exemple, comprise entre 300 et 500 m de jour et entre 80 et 100 m de nuit. The width of the bands constituting the shoulder straps and the belt is sufficient to enable any road user to distinguish a person equipped with this device at a very long distance, for example, between 300 and 500 m in daylight and between 80 and 100m at night.

Comme represente en fig. 3, la ceinture 1 se boucle par recouvrement et fixation mutuelle de ses extremites la et 1b, cette fixation pouvant etre effectuee par tous moyens adequats tels que pressions, crochets, elements de boucle, interpenetration de poils de mauere plastique disposes aussi bien sur la face externe de 1'extremite 1b que sur celle interne de la partie la. As represented in fig. 3, the belt 1 is buckled by overlapping and mutual fixing of its ends 1a and 1b, this fixing being able to be carried out by any suitable means such as pressures, hooks, buckle elements, interpenetration of plastic mauere bristles arranged both on the face external 1'extremite 1b that on the internal part of the.

Le dispositif se met donc en enfilant d'abord les bras sous chacune des bretelles (2) et (3) et en fermant la ceinture (1). The device is therefore put on by first putting on the arms under each of the shoulder straps (2) and (3) and closing the belt (1).

Dans une variante non representee, 1e dispositif pour- rait presenter des moyens permettant de varier la lon- gueur des bretelles pour 1'adapter notamment ä la taille des usagers. In a variant not shown, the device could have means making it possible to vary the length of the shoulder straps in order to adapt it in particular to the size of the users.
