Description

Clamping device for attaching at least one traffic sign or the like to a post

The invention relates to a clamping device for fastening of at least one traffic sign or the like on a pole, using the pole encompassing and releasably connected brackets,

It is known to attach a traffic sign or the like, for example with two brackets encompassing the post, which

are screwed together at both ends. A bracket is screwed to at least one bracket, and to this in turn, the traffic sign is fastened by screwing, and there is also an immediate screwing between Traffic sign and stake.

The known constructions have the disadvantage that the assembly when setting up the Verkehrsschild.es or when

509824/0718

Changing one traffic sign for another is a lot is time consuming and cumbersome. This is due, among other things, to the large number of screw connections required or by producing the necessary Holes conditional.

Proceeding from this, the invention was based on the object of creating a clamping device for the stated purpose, which can be assembled quickly and easily with the smallest possible number of individual parts, although of course a reliable clamping should be guaranteed.

To solve this problem, it is proposed according to the invention that that at least one bracket one at a distance from that Having post on this bow part guided past, and that in one between this bow part and the post formed space is used a clamping piece acting on the pole, which simultaneously establishes a connection between Post and bracket causes and serves as an indirect or direct attachment for the traffic sign.

In this embodiment it is possible to design the bracket so that it is only fixed at one end, e.g. by a screw to be loosened or fastened. The brackets can be hinged to each other at their other end, without a further screw connection to this connection

509824/07 18

necessary is. But it is also conceivable for both brackets to be in one piece perform and provide such an inherent elasticity of the material that the temple ends to fold down bend the post apart as required · Only the clamping piece is used as an additional assembly part required, which is firmly pressed against the post by connecting the stirrup ends and thereby an edge part of the Can hold the traffic sign directly on the pole.

In general, two clamping devices of this type will suffice for securing a traffic sign, with it according to a further proposal of the invention is conceivable to design the upper clamping device so that the clamping piece is provided with a support arm, the free end of which has a clamping member suitable for fastening the traffic sign. The support arm gives the traffic sign a slight downward incline, so that in some cases a better recognizability of the traffic sign can be achieved.

As far as the hinge connection of the bracket at one end is concerned, it is proposed in a further embodiment of the invention that the one bracket has an axially extending, in cross-section hiiitorschnitteriG, over .ihre longitudinally open groove at its end and that the associated end of the other bracket with a cylindrical reinforcement that can be pushed into this groove

509824/0 718

is provided. This is a very simple type of connection, that ensured quick assembly. It is useful if the opening of the groove is formed by a slot of such a width that the other bracket with the cylindrical reinforcement is pivotable in the groove in a certain angular range.

It is also advantageous in this context if the groove opens in a direction approximately tangential to the post and if the cylindrical reinforcement of the other bracket is part of a part of this bracket end angled by about 180 _{o the} latter also extends in an approximately tangential direction, so that the forces generated when connecting the free temple ends in the circumferential direction contribute to the fact that the cylindrical reinforcement is pressed into the groove and the temple end is essentially subjected to pressure in this area.

In a further embodiment of the invention it is proposed that that the stirrup part passed at a distance from the post between two sector-shaped circulars adapted to the post diameter Bracket parts lies and by two mutually approximately parallel sections and one connecting these sections Web is formed. In detail, the dimensioning can be as follows take place that the sector-shaped sections at

50 9824/07 18

closed clamp connection is in the immediate Close to the post, but do not rest firmly against it, while the actual contact pressure is applied to the bracket part enforcing clamp is exercised itself.

It is also advantageous if the clamping piece with at least one end protrudes beyond the bracket in the axial direction and if this end of the clamping piece has a pole facing has the clamping piece at a distance from the pole holding clamping foot. Such a clamp foot makes one unambiguous defined support surface opposite the post created, this roughened to improve the holding effect or can be provided with notches. It is of course also possible to additionally use a to provide such a clamping foot.

It is also proposed that the clamping piece at his the side facing away from the post has outwardly directed projections; e, between which the bracket engages the clamping piece and whose axial distance from one another is adapted to the width of the bracket. This creates a bracket and a clamping piece secured against each other in the axial direction.

It is of course also conceivable for the refrigeration system formed from these brackets in three parts, ie, "three bracket provided, which in a suitable manner, for example also using the hinging-described compound, may be connected to each other _o

In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the bracket 3 together with a bracket 19 forms the clamping device and a further strap part is replaced, the each of two parallel portions 21 and 22 and these right angles connecting web 23 is formed _o Thus, here too between the outer wall of the pile 1 and the space formed by the sections 21 and 22 and the web 23 Temple part created a space 24

Together with the brackets 3 and 19, that shown in FIG. 3 can Clamping piece 25 find use, which consists of a plate-shaped main part 26, projections 27 and from Clamping feet 28 is formed »These parts consist of one piece. The projections 27 have such a spacing from each other that the bracket 3 or 19 come to lie between them and the clamping piece 25 thereby against a Slipping out of the clamping device is secured. The clamping feet 28 and 29 are aligned with the post 1 and have notches 29 on their contact surfaces

As from the ^ ig. 4 and 5, clamping pieces 25 can each be inserted into the spaces l4 or »24 of the bracket 3 and 19, the webs 13 and 23 exactly between the

98 24/071 »

Projections 27 fit. The clamping feet 28 with the notches rest on the post 1.

A traffic sign JO has an edge beaded twice at right angles, the inner part 31 of which runs approximately parallel to the actual surface of the traffic sign 30 and at a certain distance. The inner part 31 is pushed between the notches 29 of the lower clamp leg 28 of the clamp 25 on the one hand and the pile on the other hand "Since the clamping feet in the axial direction of the brackets 2 and J are far enough away, the inner part 31 can sufficiently pushed under a clamping foot 28 will. As soon as this has happened, the two brackets 2 and J can be clamped to the post 1 by means of a screw 32 (FIG. K) guided through the tongues 7 and 17. If during this clamping the clamping piece 25 is pressed through the web IJ of the bracket J in the direction of the post 1, the notches 29 of the upper clamping foot 28 lie directly on the post 1, while arischen the notches 29 of the lower clamping foot 28 and the post 1 the inner part 31 of the traffic sign 30 is held.

As k on top of each left side of FIG _e and 5 An dashed lines indicated, the pile 1 can be obtained by the use of nines strap 19 in place of a yoke 2, another road sign can be clamped 33 in a corresponding manner on the opposite side,

50982A / 0718

when a clamping piece 25 is used in the space 2k between the bracket 19 and the post 1.

4 and 5 show the attachment of the traffic signs 30 and 33 on their lower side; attaching to the upper side can, however, be done in a corresponding manner, which is understandable without further explanation.

In Fig. 6 a clamping piece ^ k is shown, which is constructed at its one end in a manner corresponding to the clamping piece 25 and thus has an outwardly directed projection 35 and a clamping foot 37 pointing in the opposite direction. Instead of the second projection, a support arm 36 is provided, but the same also by the projection 35 distance as that of the two projections 27 of the clamping piece 25 · Thus, also the clamping piece 3 ^ i * ¹ similarly to the clamp 25 by a bracket 3 or 19 are held on the post 1, in which the respective web 13 or 23 between the projection 35 and the support arm 36 engages. 3k on the bearing the support arm 36 the end of the clamping piece, a second clamping foot 38 is provided, but the k even when eiier higher execution of Kleromstückes ^ can be replaced by a clamping foot 39, which is shown in dashed lines in Fig. 6 and a piece above the Support arm 36 is.

At the free end of the support arm 26, two are approximately parallel

509824/0718

Approaches 40 and 4l extending to one another are arranged in such a way that a groove 42 extending parallel to the clamping piece 34 is formed between them. In Fig · 7 is shown, which engages the inner part wie.das 3I of a traffic sign 30 in the groove 42 and held in that, when the attachment of road sign 30 ⁿ its upper edge is effected by means of a clamping piece Jk. The extension 40 is provided with a threaded hole into which a screw 44 is screwed, while the opposite extension 4l is provided with a through hole 43, the axis of which lies in the same direction as that of the screw 44. The traffic sign 30 is therefore held in place in the groove 42 with the screw 44. The fastening of the traffic sign 30 on its lower side then takes place as shown in FIG. 8. Clamping pieces 25 are used here again. By using the support arms 26 when fastening the traffic sign 30 on its upper side, the latter is inclined downward, as a result of which the visibility of the traffic sign for the road users is significantly improved in many cases. The same applies, of course, to the fastening of a second traffic sign 33 on the opposite side of the post 1. The inherent elasticity of the material always allows a small bending in the area of the inner part 3I when fastened in the inclined position shown.

509824/0718

In the embodiment of FIGS. 9 and 10, the proposed clamping device for attaching a traffic sign 45 is used, which has a simple flat edge without any flanging again a clamping piece Jk is used} but this is now inserted into the bracket 3 in such a way that the support arm 36 runs below the bracket 3 and the groove 42 opens downwards. The flat traffic sign 45 can then be pushed into the groove 42 from below and fastened with the aid of the screw 44. The same applies to the fastening of a further traffic sign 46 on the opposite side of the post 1.

The attachment of the traffic signs 45 and 46 on their The lower edge is shown in FIG. 10. The edge is held by a clamping foot 28 of a clamping piece 25 in each case. This creates traffic signs in the area of the lower edge 45 or 46 a slight bend due to the inherent elasticity of the material.

Fig. 10 also shows that the 'traffic signs 45 and 46 are used to attach the' traffic signs at their lower edge Clamping device at the same time also for fastening the upper edge of further traffic signs 47 and 48 can serve that also have simple flat edges without

509824/0718

have any beading and are therefore between the lower clamping feet 28 of the clamping pieces 25 and the post 1 let slide. The lower traffic signs 47 and 48 then run exactly parallel to the post 1 and are attached to their lower edge in the same way.

The description of these exemplary embodiments shows that a clamping device according to the invention numerous Kombxnatxonsmoglichkexten for the attachment of traffic signs or the like offers. It is also advantageous that both the bracket and the Kfemmteile each have such a profiled cross-section that they without Difficulties can be extruded and turned into large by cutting to the required length Have quantities produced cheaply.
