Den foreliggende opfindelse angår et vejskilt eller en vejtavle af den i indledningen til krav 1 angivne art.The present invention relates to a road sign or road sign of the kind specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Almindeligvis er vejskilte eller større vejtavler opbygget af temmelig mange forskellige komponenter i form af særlige ram-5 meprofiler og diverse andre profilelementer i form af specielle støtteprofiler og specielle samlingsprofiler, idet skiltepladen ofte består af flere pladesektioner, som skal samles med et passende stift underlag, hvortil pladekanterne fastgøres. Alt i alt skal skilteproducenten lagerføre et stort antal 10 forskellige profilelementer, hvilket betyder en stor og omkostningskrævende investering samt besvær med lagerstyring og levering fra skiftende leverandører. Derudover er produktionen af kendte større vejskilte eller -tavler relativt dyr, fordi der medgår ret megen montagearbejde. Endelig skal nævnes, at 15 kendte vejskilte langt fra er så robuste, som man kunne ønske sig, selv når der tages hensyn til, at et vejskilte naturligvis ikke må være så robust, at vejskiltet i sig selv udgør en risiko - trafiksikkerhedsmæssigt.Typically, road signs or larger road signs are made up of quite a variety of components in the form of special frame profiles and various other profile elements in the form of special support profiles and special joint profiles, the sign plate often consisting of several plate sections which must be assembled with a suitable rigid support, to which the plate edges are attached. All in all, the sign manufacturer has to stock a large number of 10 different profile elements, which means a large and costly investment as well as hassle with inventory management and delivery from changing suppliers. In addition, the production of known large road signs or boards is relatively expensive, because a lot of assembly work is required. Finally, it should be mentioned that 15 known road signs are far from as robust as one might wish, even when taking into account that a road sign must not, of course, be so robust that the road sign itself constitutes a risk - road safety.

Opfindelsen har til formål at angive et vejskilt eller en vej-20 tavle af den indledningsvis nævnte art, og som er nem at opbygge henholdsvis samle ud fra et minimum af komponenter.The invention has for its object to provide a road sign or road sign of the kind mentioned above and which is easy to construct or assemble respectively from a minimum of components.

Vejskiltet ifølge opfindelsen er ejendommeligt ved, at forlængelserne i afstand fra nævnte kortside har imod hinanden indragende kantpartier, der imellem sig danner en åbning ind imod 25 kortsiden, og som er udformet med indvendige, kileformede indhak ved forlængelserne. Herved opnås et vejskilt eller en vejtavle, der på enkel og billig måde er nem at opbygge ud fra et minimum af komponenter, idet helt ensformede profilelementer kan anvendes som rundtgående ramme henholdsvis støtte- og /el-30 ler samlingselement. Yderligere opnås, at især større vejtavler på enkel måde kan opbygges i separate skiltesektioner, der nemt kan samles in situ ved hjælp af samme standardkomponenter, som kan medgå til opbygning af den enkelte skiltesektion, idet såvel rammeprofiler som eventuelle støtte- og samlings-35 profiler modsat skiltepladen er udformet med den angivne sær-liae Drofilerino.The road sign according to the invention is characterized in that the extensions spaced apart from said short side have protruding edge portions, which between themselves form an opening towards the short side, and which are formed with internal, wedge-shaped notches at the extensions. Hereby, a road sign or road sign is obtained which is simple and inexpensive to easily build from a minimum of components, since completely uniform profile elements can be used as a circular frame or support and / or joint element respectively. In addition, it is achieved that especially larger road boards can easily be constructed in separate sign sections, which can be easily assembled in situ using the same standard components that can be used to build the single sign section, with both frame profiles and any supporting and assembly profiles. opposite to the sign plate is designed with the specified special Drofilerino.

16 i afstand fra kortsiden 18 har imod hinanden indragende kantpartier 20, som imellem sig danner en langsgående åbning eller slidse 22 ind imod kortsiden 18. Kantpartierne 20 danner desuden indvendige kileformede indhak 24 med forlængelserne 5 16. Som ligeledes vist i fig. 2 er den åbne side af basisprofilen 8 beregnet til optagelse af en møtrik 26 med en tværsnitsform svarende til den indvendige profilering af den åbne side af basisprofilen 8.16 spaced apart from the short side 18 have protruding edge portions 20 which form between them a longitudinal opening or slot 22 towards the short side 18. The edge portions 20 also form internal wedge-shaped notches 24 with the extensions 5 16. As also shown in FIG. 2, the open side of the base profile 8 is intended to receive a nut 26 having a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the inner profile of the open side of the base profile 8.

Møtrikken 26, der genfindes i fig. 3, der viser hvordan to 10 rette basisprofiler 8 kan sammenspændes ved siden af hinanden ved hjælp af enkeltmøtrikker 26, en udvendig laskeplade 28 samt almindelige bolte 30. Laskepladen 28 anvendes i fig. 1 til endevis samling af en dobbeltmøtrik 32 med samme tværsnitsform som møtrikken 26.The nut 26 found in FIG. 3, showing how two 10 straight base profiles 8 can be clamped side by side by means of single nuts 26, an outer wafer plate 28 and ordinary bolts 30. The wafer plate 28 is used in FIG. 1 for finally assembling a double nut 32 having the same cross-sectional shape as the nut 26.

15 I fig. 4 er vist, hvordan en vandret støtte i form af en grundprofil 8 samles med en rammedel 6, der ligeledes består af grundprofilen 8. I fig. 5 er vist en sektionssamling af en større skilteflade bestående af skilteplader 2 med rammedele 6 (grundprofiler 8) samt vandrette kantforstærkninger ligeledes 20 dannet af grundprofiler 8. Ved den viste sektionssamling kan efter ønske anvendes tre dobbeltmøtrikker 32 eller som vist to enkeltmøtrikker 26 og to dobbeltmøtrikker 32, hvorved præmonteringen af skiltesektionerne kan optimeres.In FIG. 4, it is shown how a horizontal support in the form of a basic profile 8 is assembled with a frame part 6, which also consists of the basic profile 8. In FIG. 5 shows a sectional assembly of a larger plate surface consisting of plate plates 2 with frame parts 6 (basic profiles 8) as well as horizontal edge reinforcements 20 also formed by basic profiles 8. In the sectional assembly shown, three double nuts 32 can be used as desired or as shown two single nuts 26 and two double nuts. 32, whereby the pre-assembly of the sign sections can be optimized.

Det vil forstås, at et større vejskilt uden videre kan opbyg-25 ges af ganske få delkomponenter, hvilket som nævnt medfører en væsentlig billiggørelse alene som følge af mindre lagerinvesteringer end der er almindeligt i dag, hvor vejskilteproduktion gør brug af virkelig mange forskellige delkomponenter.It will be appreciated that a larger road sign can easily be built up by quite a few sub-components, which, as mentioned, entails a significant reduction in costs only due to less inventory investment than is common today, where road sign production uses really many different sub-components.

I fig. 6 er vist montagen af et vejskilt med en grundprofil 8, 30 hvoraf låsesporet bed bagsiden anvendes til optagelse af et længere anker 34 med samme tværsnitsform som møtrikkerne 26 og 32, dvs. med en tværsnitsform, der bl. a. svarer til og samvirker med kilesporene 24, således at grundprofilen 8 kan spændes fast til den viste profilerede opstander 36 ved hjælp 'ίζ a ·Γ dnar»·? al 1 δ 1 AølraKftol arr ^ Ω r\rt T f i λ ”7 λ 4In FIG. 6 shows the mounting of a road sign with a basic profile 8, 30 of which the locking track bed is used to receive a longer anchor 34 of the same cross-sectional shape as the nuts 26 and 32, ie. with a cross-sectional shape that a. corresponds to and interacts with the wedge grooves 24, so that the basic profile 8 can be clamped to the profiled upright 36 shown by means of ίζ a · nar dnar »·? al 1 δ 1 AølraKftol arr ^ Ω r \ rt T f i λ ”7 λ 4

ankeret 34 til befæstigelse af grundprofilen 8 til en cirkulær rørstander 40 ved hjælp af en bøjle 42, medens ankeret 34 i fig. 8 samvirker med lange bolte 44 for en bagskinne 46 til solid fastspænding af grundprofilen 8 på en firkantet rørstan-5 der 48. Fig. 6-8 viser således monteringsmetoder, der med fordel kan anvendes generelt til montering af vejskiltet på simple lodrette opstandere, idet grundprofilens bageste låsespor sammen med ankeret 34 muliggør nem og solid montering af vejskiltet i ønsket højde på standeren, men også med indivi-10 duel sideforskydning af vejskiltet på en eller flere lodrette opstandere.the anchor 34 for attaching the base profile 8 to a circular pipe stand 40 by means of a hanger 42, while the anchor 34 of FIG. 8 cooperates with long bolts 44 for a back rail 46 for firmly clamping the base profile 8 to a square tube stand 5. FIG. 6-8 thus show mounting methods which can advantageously be used generally for mounting the road sign on simple vertical uprights, the base profile's rear locking grooves together with the anchor 34 allowing easy and solid mounting of the road sign at the desired height of the stand, but also with individual 10 lateral displacement of the road sign on one or more vertical uprights.

Det skal nævnes, at grundprofilen 8 (fig. 2) kan være udformet med symmetrisk tværsnit om en tværgående centerakse gennem rektanglet 12. dvs. at langsiderne 14 af rektanglet 12 har 15 forlængelser 16 til begge sider af langsiderne 14, ligesom kantpartierne 20, slidsen 22 samt de kileformede indhak 24 i så fald også genfindes ved modsatte side af grundprofilen 8. Denne kan således ved begge kortsider være udformet med et i hovedsagen C-formet låsespor med indvendig kileform, således 20 at samme befæstigelsesmidler (møtrikkerne 26 og 32 eller ankeret 34) kan anvendes ved begge kortsider af grundprofilen 8.It should be mentioned that the basic profile 8 (Fig. 2) can be formed with symmetrical cross section about a transverse center axis through the rectangle 12. ie. that the long sides 14 of the rectangle 12 have 15 extensions 16 for both sides of the long sides 14, as well as the edge portions 20, the slot 22 and the wedge-shaped notches 24 can also be found at opposite sides of the base profile 8. This can thus be formed at both short sides with a generally C-shaped locking groove with internal wedge shape, so that the same fastening means (nuts 26 and 32 or anchor 34) can be used on both short sides of the basic profile 8.
