DEVICE FOR ROAD SAFETY OF MOTOR VEHICLES

The invention relates to a device for traffic safety in motor vehicles, in particular traffic cone-like devices Contraption.

If a motor vehicle stops on the roadway, it is necessary to secure the motor vehicle. Unless a If the truck stops at the edge of the road, the loading ramp of the truck is folded down or moved hydraulically to enable goods to be unloaded. The following is used for identification Traffic usually set up a traffic cone showing the parked truck and the lowered one Loading ramp indicates that this traffic cone is usually located in the vehicle and is operated by removed by the operator and parked on the roadway. After the unloading process, the Person remove the parked traffic cone from the lane. There is a risk that the Person forgets the parked traffic cone and continues without it. On the other hand, setting up the Traffic cone cumbersome and requires additional manipulations by the operator.

The objects on which the present invention is based consists in providing a device for traffic

Securing of motor vehicles, especially a traffic cone-like one To propose a device that sets itself up automatically when the fan tool is unloaded and which does not require any additional hand movements for the unloading person.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the device means for pivoting attachment to movable loading ramps of trucks and means has for sliding in a longitudinal guide.

The device according to the invention is attached to the loading ramp, which is pivotable or hydraulically movable on trucks is arranged, attached. When the loading ramp is opened, the device is also moved until it gets onto the roadway. The loading ramp then moves to its lowest position, with the provided means slide in a longitudinal guide.

Preferably, a flat iron slides in a rail designed as a longitudinal guide and i, st on its one end connected by a hinge to a fastening piece.

Furthermore, the rail is preferably attached to a flat surface of the device.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment is the rail is roughly U-shaped in cross-section and the flat iron mounted on balls slides along the inside curved U-legs. Further particularly preferred embodiments are set out in the subclaims described.

Dj.e invention is based on the accompanying drawing explained in more detail.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the inventive Contraption,

FIG. 2 the section A-A according to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 the schematic representation of the fastening the device according to the invention on a truck.

The device 1 for traffic safety is designed as a traffic cone in the illustrated embodiment. The traffic cone usually has four transverse surfaces that are alternately red and white. At The rail 3 is attached to the flat surface 2 of the guide cone. This rail 3 acts as a longitudinal guide for the flat iron 4, which can slide up and down along the rail 3, however through the locking points 23, 24 and .25 from falling out is prevented from the rail 3. This flat iron 4 is mounted on balls 7 and 8, which in turn are attached to the intermediate piece 18. The rail 3 is approximately U-shaped in cross section, the Balls 7 and 8 during the movement of the flat iron 4-along the inwardly bent U-legs 19 and 20 slide the rail 3. The upper locking point 23 is at the upper end of the rail 3, the locking point 24. at the lower end. Both locking points prevent the intermediate piece 18 from sliding out of the guide rail 3. The Locking point 25 at the lower end of the flat iron 4

is the limit when sliding the flat iron k in the rail 3 upwards. Aiii the lower end of the flat iron k is the hinge 5, which consists of a bolt, which represents the usual pivoting connection of the fastening piece 6 with the flat iron A shown . The fastening piece 6 is designed as a curse iron with several bores 21 and 22. In the bottom surface 9 of the device 1 there is arranged a roller IO on which the traffic cone can slide. The axis 11 of the roller 10 is rotatably supported in the two bearing surfaces 12 and 13, the roller 10 being partially arranged in the interior of the guide cone. The spacers 14 and 15, which prevent the guide cone from tilting, are also arranged on the bottom surface 9. Furthermore, in the lower region of the flat lateral surface 2 of the device 1, the spacers 16 and 17 are located, which represent an elastic stop when the device is attached to the loading ramp of a truck. 20th

In Figure 3, the arrangement of the device 1 on the loading ramp 31 of the truck 30 is shown. The fastening piece 6 is by means of screws in the bores 21 and 22 in the upper area of the loading ramp attached. In the position I, the loading ramp 31 is closed and the flat iron 4 is due to the downward weight of the device in its uppermost position with respect to the rail If the loading ramp 31 moves from the position I to the position II, the flat iron 4 is located still in its highest position, since the weight of the device 1 when pivoting the loading ramp 31 as long pulls down until the roller 10 is on the

Track 29 touches down. After the roller 10 has been placed on the roadway 29, the loading ramp 31 pivots into the position described with III. Here, the flat iron k slides along the rail 3 downwards. The loading ramp 31 rests on the ground and the traffic cone 1 stands on the spacers M and 15 and the roller 10. While the traffic cone 1 is placed on the track 29 by means of the roller 10 and the loading ramp 31 is pivoted into the position described with III , the traffic cone can roll a short distance, as the pivoting movement of the loading ramp may require a slight change in location between the placement position of the traffic cone and the final position. However, it is also possible that the traffic cone 1 does not have a role and a possibly necessary slight change in location is made possible by the sliding of the floor surface 9 on the roadway 29. A pivotable loading ramp 31 is shown in FIG. 3, but it is also possible to use a hydraulically movable loading ramp together with the device according to the invention. In this case, too, it is possible for the guide cone to roll slightly on the roller 10 into the final position.

In the illustrated embodiment, a traffic cone was used as a device for traffic safety, which has the means shown for pivotable attachment and for sliding in a longitudinal guide .
