DK 166301 BDK 166301 B

Den foreliggende opfindelse angår en markerings indretning til vej skilt, og af den i indledningen til krav 1 angivne art.The present invention relates to a marking device for road signage and of the kind specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Med henblik på at forøge trafiksikkerheden er det kendt at an-5 vende såkaldte kantplader, der er forsynet med et rød/hvidt lysreflekterende stribemønster, der kan bestå af lodrette striber (f.eks. til markering af, at en vej ophører), skråtstillede striber (f.eks. til markering af færdselsretningen -oftest ved skarpe vejsving) eller af pileformede striber (li-10 geledes til markering af færdselsretningen).In order to increase road safety, it is known to use so-called edge plates which are provided with a red / white light-reflecting stripe pattern, which may consist of vertical stripes (eg to mark the end of a road), inclined stripes (for example, for marking the direction of travel - most often by sharp turns) or of arrow-shaped stripes (likewise for marking the direction of travel).

Det er ligeledes kendt, at forsyne særligt udsatte vejskilte, navnlig færdselstavler med den nævnte type af kantplader, der monteres på færdselstavlernes rørstander. Fra beskrivelsen til 15 SE-B-429 983 kendes en refleksskræm til vejskiltestandere, der består af en knækbar plade, der er opdelt i tre lige brede pladedele, og som ved den midterste pladedel er indrettet til fastspænding til en skiltestander. De andre to pladedele blikkes derefter mod hianden og samles langs en lodret kant, såle-20 des at refleksskærmen udgør en rumlig, trekantet skræm, der omslutter skiltestanderen.It is also known to provide particularly exposed road signs, in particular traffic signs with said type of edge plates mounted on the traffic signs' pipe stands. From the specification to SE-B-429 983 there is known a reflex scare for road sign stands consisting of a crackable plate divided into three equal wide plate parts and arranged at the middle plate part for clamping to a sign stand. The other two plate parts are then glanced toward the hand and assembled along a vertical edge, so that the reflex shield constitutes a spatial, triangular frame enclosing the signpost.

Imidlertid er de kendte kantplader ikke velegnede til dette formål, og desuden er det ofte et vanskeligt og til tider også 25 farligt arbejde at montere eller eftermontere sådanne kendte kantplader på færdselstavler, der i sagens natur oftest er placeret meget tæt ved vej- eller gadekanten, dvs. meget tæt ved trafikken. 1 2 3 4 5 6However, the known edge plates are not suitable for this purpose, and in addition, it is often a difficult and sometimes dangerous task to mount or retrofit such known edge plates on traffic signs, which are naturally located very close to the road or street edge, i.e. very close to traffic. 1 2 3 4 5 6

Opfindelsen har til formål at angive en ny og forbedret type 2 af markeringsindretning af den indledningsvis' nævnte art, og 3 ved hjælp af hvilken det ved enkle foranstaltninger bliver mu 4 ligt på hurtig og sikker måde at montere markeringsindretnin 5 ger på udsatte færdselstavler og tilmed at opnå en forbedret 6 markeringseffekt - og dermed en forøget trafiksikkerhed.The invention has for its object to provide a new and improved type 2 of marking device of the type mentioned initially, and 3 by means of which, by simple measures, it becomes possible to quickly and securely mount marking devices 5 on exposed traffic signs and even to achieve an improved 6 marking effect - and thus increased traffic safety.

Markeringsindretningen ifølge opfindelsen er ejendommelig ved, at profildelene er udformet ved afskæring af lige lange stykker af et med i hovedsagen halvcylindrisk tværsnit profileret røremne, der er udformet med indbyrdes samvirkende forbindel-5 sesorganer, og som modsat en halvcylindrisk yderside mellem radiale, lige vægdele er udformet med en central buet vægdel, hvis bueform set i profildelens tværsnit forløber i hovedsagen koncentrisk med den halvcylindriske yderside deraf, og at forbindelsesorganerne af profildelene udgøres af langsgående hol-10 despor og langsgående holdelister, der ved modstående sider er udformet ved overgangen mellem de lige vægdele og den halvcylindriske yderside af profildelene, og som er indrettet til at indgribe med tilsvarende holdespor og -lister af de respektive profildele, der har en udvendig glat overflade, der er forsy-15 net med eller beregnet til at forsynes med en mønstret signalbelægning af såkaldt kortlys-refleksfolie.The marking device according to the invention is characterized in that the profile parts are formed by cutting equal length pieces of a tubular profile profiled with a substantially semi-cylindrical cross section, which are formed with interconnecting interconnecting members and which are opposite to a semi-cylindrical outer surface between radial, equal wall parts. formed with a central curved wall portion, whose arc shape seen in the cross-section of the profile portion extends substantially concentrically with the semi-cylindrical exterior thereof, and that the connecting members of the profile members are formed by longitudinal hollow grooves and longitudinal retaining strips formed at opposite sides between the straight wall portions and the semi-cylindrical exterior of the profile portions and adapted to engage with corresponding retaining grooves and moldings of the respective profile portions having an exterior smooth surface provided or intended to be provided with a patterned signal coating of so-called short-light reflective film.

Herved opnås på enkel måde et udadtil lukket og rumligt markeringsemne, der uden fremspring eller udstående kanter kan ud-20 gøre et mindre farligt emne at påkøre - end de kendte skarpkantede kantplader, og som tilmed er hurtigt og nemt at montere enten på en rørstander for en ny færdselstavle eller at eftermontere på en eksisterende færdselstavles rørstander. Dvs. at den nemme og hurtige montering af markeringsindretnin 25 gen ifølge opfindelsen også i montagesituationen - medfører en forbedret færdselssikkerhed.Hereby, an outwardly closed and spatially marked workpiece is easily obtained which, without protrusions or protruding edges, can make a less dangerous subject to collide - than the known sharp-edged edge plates, and which is also quick and easy to mount either on a pipe stand for a new road sign or to retrofit an existing road sign's pipe stand. Ie that the easy and quick installation of the marking device according to the invention also in the installation situation - results in improved road safety.

Fortrinsvis er markeringsindretning ifølge opfindelsen desuden udformet således, at de langsgående holdespor og -lister ved 30 de respektive sider af profildelene er indbyrdes parallelle og er vinkelstillet i forhold til de lige vægdele. Herved opnås, at profilelementerne automatisk rettes ind i korrekt indbyrdes stilling til dannelse af et lukket, og helt glat cylindrisk markeringslegeme. Og på særlig hensigtsmæssig måde kan denne 35 tilpasningseffekt yderligere forbedres ved, at holdesporet ogPreferably, the marking device according to the invention is furthermore designed such that the longitudinal holding grooves and strips at the respective sides of the profile parts are parallel to each other and are angular to the straight wall parts. This results in the profile elements being automatically aligned in the correct mutual position to form a closed and completely smooth cylindrical marking body. And in a particularly convenient way, this adaptive effect can be further enhanced by the fact that the holding groove and

Med henblik på at forenkle og billigøre såvel produktion, lagerføring og montering af markeringsindretningen ifølge opfindelsen, består denne af lige lange profildele, hvoraf den ene profildel før samling omkring rørstanderen endevendes og dre-10 jes 180° om sin længdeakse i forhold til den anden profildel.In order to simplify and cheapen both production, storage and mounting of the marking device according to the invention, it consists of equal-length profile parts, one profile part before assembly around the pipe stand being turned and rotated 180 ° about its longitudinal axis relative to the other profile part. .

Opfindelsen forklares i det følgende nærmere i forbindelse med tegningen, på hvilken:- 15 Fig. 1 viser en udførelsesform for en markerings indretning ifølge opfindelsen - vist monteret på en rørstander for en piletavle, fig. 2 viser et perspektivisk billede af en foretrukken udfø-20 relsesform for et profilelement til en markerings indretning ifølge opfindelsen, og fig. 3 viser hvordan to profilelementer jfr. fig. 2 samles henholdsvis fastgøres til en rørstander for dannelse af en 25 markeringsindretning jfr. fig. 1.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will now be described in more detail in connection with the drawing, in which: - FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a marking device according to the invention - shown mounted on a pipe stand for a whiteboard; FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of a profile element for a marking device according to the invention; and FIG. 3 shows how two profile elements cf. FIG. 2 are assembled respectively attached to a pipe stand to form a marking device, cf. FIG. First

Den i fig. 1 viste cylindriske markeringsindretning 2 består af to ens halvcylindriske profilelementer 4, der er vist i fig. 2, og som samles omkring en rørstander 6 - eksempelvis 30 som vist i fig.l, der viser en såkaldt piletavle 8 af den type, der ofte anvendes til påvisning af kørebaner ved helleanlæg, og som derfor er ekstra udsat for at blive påkørt. Dette gælder navnlig, hvis piletavlens lysanlæg er ude af drift, eller hvis piletavlen ikke er forsynet med lysanlæg. Pile-35 tavler af den i fig. 1 viste type er blå med hvid pil, dvs. at piletavlen 8 udgør en såkaldt "påbudstavle".The FIG. 1, the cylindrical marking device 2 shown consists of two identical semi-cylindrical profile elements 4 shown in FIG. 2, which is assembled around a pipe stand 6 - for example 30 as shown in Fig. 1, which shows a so-called arrow board 8 of the type which is often used for the detection of lanes at pouring systems and which is therefore extra prone to being hit. This is especially true if the dartboard's lighting system is out of service or if the dartboard is not equipped with a lighting system. Arrows 35 of the figure of FIG. 1 is blue with white arrow, i.e. that the whiteboard 8 constitutes a so-called "notice board".

Markeringsindretningen 2 er forsynet med et rød/hvidt stribemønster 10, hvis aktuelle skråretning angiver, at piletavlen 8 skal passeres højre om. Det samme vil naturligvis gælde for trafikanter, der møder piletavlen 8 fra dennes bagside, hvor 5 stribemønsteret 10 også angiver, at markerings indretningen 2 skal passeres højre om. Dette har især betydning, hvis piletavlen 8 kun er forsynet med påbudspil på den ene side, hvilket oftest er tilfældet, hvis det ikke drejer sig om et meget lille helleanlæg. Ved større helleanlæg anvendes normalt to 10 enkelte piletavler, der er placeret i hver sin ende af hellen, og som er orienteret mod trafik fra hver sin færdselsretning. Uanset om det drejer sig om en enkelt eller en dobbelt pile-tavle vil markerings indretningen ifølge opfindelsen med fordel kunne anvendes til at give en endnu bedre anvisning af køre-15 banerne.The marking device 2 is provided with a red-and-white stripe pattern 10, whose current slant indicates that the arrow board 8 is to be passed right around. The same will, of course, apply to road users who encounter the whiteboard 8 from its rear, where the stripe pattern 10 also indicates that the marking device 2 must be passed right around. This is particularly important if the whiteboard 8 is only provided with an order game on one side, which is most often the case if it is not a very small pouring system. For larger pouring systems, two 10 single arrow boards are usually used, located at each end of the slope and oriented towards traffic from each direction of travel. Whether it is a single or a double arrow board, the marking device according to the invention can advantageously be used to give an even better indication of the lanes.

Det i fig. 2 viste profilelement 4 er fremstillet ved ekstru-dering i aluminium; men det kan alternativt være fremstillet af et andet egnet materiale, f.eks. formstof. Profilelementet 20 4 er udformet som et lukket rør legeme med i hovedsagen halvcirkulært tværsnit, hvoraf en udvendig vægdel 12 danner en halvcylindrisk yderside 14, og hvoraf en indvendig tværvæg 16 består af i hovedsagen radialt forløbende lige vægdele 18 og 20, en dermed integreret central buet vægdel 22 og af mellem 25 den udvendige vægdel 12 og henholdsvis de lige vægdele 18 og 2 0 udformede langsgående, profilerede holdespor 24 og 26 samt ligeledes langsgående, udstående holdelister 28 og 30. For tydelighedens skyld er de nævnte forbindelsesdele ved de respektive sider af profilelementet 4 som en helhed i fig. 3 benævnt 30 med A og B, hvor A repræsenterer holdespor 26 og holdeliste 30, medens B repræsenterer holdespor 24 og holdeliste 28.The FIG. 2 profile element 4 is made by extrusion in aluminum; but it may alternatively be made of another suitable material, e.g. plastics. The profile element 20 4 is formed as a closed tubular body of substantially semicircular cross section, of which an outer wall portion 12 forms a semi-cylindrical outer surface 14, and of which an inner transverse wall 16 consists of substantially radially extending straight wall portions 18 and 20, an integral central arc therewith. longitudinal, profiled retaining grooves 24 and 26 as well as longitudinal protruding retaining strips 28 and 30. For clarity, the said connecting parts are at the respective sides of the profile element, respectively, of wall part 22 and of between 25 the outer wall part 12 and the equal wall parts 18 and 20 respectively. 4 as a whole in FIG. 3, designated 30 with A and B, where A represents holding groove 26 and holding strip 30, while B represents holding groove 24 and holding strip 28.

Udenfor holdespor 26 henholdsvis holdeliste 28 er udformet korte, langsgående kantflader 32 og 34, der når to profilele-35 menter 4 er samlet - f.eks. som vist i fig. 3 omkring rør standeren 6 - passer sammen, således, at de to profilelementer 4 5Outside retaining grooves 26 and retaining strip 28, respectively, are formed short, longitudinal edge faces 32 and 34, which when two profile elements 4 are assembled - e.g. as shown in FIG. 3 around pipe stand 6 - fits together so that the two profile elements 4 5

tilsammen danner en udadtil helt lukket, glat cylinderflade, der som vist i fig. 1 kan udgøre en befæstigelsesflade for stribemønsteret 10.together form an outwardly fully closed, smooth cylinder surface which, as shown in FIG. 1 may constitute a fastening surface for the strip pattern 10.

5 De lige vægdele 18 og 20 er forsynet med centrale, langsgående kærvspor 36, der er beregnet til anvisning af, hvor huller til sammenspænding af profilelementerne 4 ved hjælp af simple bolte skal bores. Ved sammenspænding af to profilelementer 4 omkring en rørstander 6 behøver man som følge af de indbyrdes 10 samvirkende holdespor 24, 26 og holdelister 28, 30 kun at anvende ganske få bolte, der placeret umiddelbart indenfor modsatte endeområder af profilelementerne 4, således at nævnte bolthuller i de lige vægdele 18 og 20 eksempelvis kan fremstilles ved hjælp af et simpelt lokkeværktøj, og således at 15 man let kan spænde boltene fra de åbne ender af markeringsindretningen 2, der helt afslutningsvis - som vist i fig. 1 - kan forsynes med en afdækningskappe 38, der består af plastic eller gummi, og som slutter tæt omkring rørstanderen 6 og omkring den øverste, udvendige kant af den cylindriske marke-20 ringsindretning 2.5 The straight wall portions 18 and 20 are provided with central longitudinal groove grooves 36, which are intended to indicate where holes for tightening the profile elements 4 by means of simple bolts are to be drilled. When clamping two profile elements 4 around a pipe stand 6, due to the cooperating holding grooves 24, 26 and holding strips 28, 30, only a few bolts located immediately within opposite end regions of the profile elements 4 need be used, so that said bolt holes in for example, the straight wall portions 18 and 20 can be manufactured by means of a simple locking tool, and so that the bolts can easily be tightened from the open ends of the marking device 2, which is completely closed - as shown in FIG. 1 - can be provided with a cover sheath 38, which is made of plastic or rubber, which ends tightly around the pipe stand 6 and around the upper outer edge of the cylindrical marking device 2.

For at forbedre fastholdelsen af markerings indretningen 2 udvendigt på rørstanderen 6 er den centrale, buede vægdel 22 af profilelementet 4 på et indvendigt, langsgående midterområde 25 forsynet med et antal udstående skarpe savtak-ribber 40. Og for at .forbedre stivheden af profilelementet 4, er dette ca. midt for den udvendige vægdel 12 forsynet med en indefter forløbende langsgående ribbe 42. 1 2 3 4 5 6In order to improve the retention of the marking device 2 externally of the pipe stand 6, the central curved wall portion 22 of the profile element 4 is provided on an inner, longitudinal center region 25 with a number of protruding sharp saw-ribs 40. And to improve the stiffness of the profile element 4, is this approx. in the middle of the outer wall portion 12 provided with an inwardly extending longitudinal rib 42. 1 2 3 4 5 6

Eksempelvis fremstilles profilelementet 4 med en største bred 2 de svarende til en udvendig diameter på ca. 170 mm, og længden 3 af cylinderlegemet kan være mellem 400 - 800 mm. Markerings 4 indretningen 2 er enkel at fremstille, idet den består af to 5 helt ens profilelementer, der afskæres i ønsket længde, idet 6 det ene profilelement inden samlingen endevendes og drejes 180° om sin længdeakse i forhold til det andet profilelement.For example, the profile element 4 having a largest width 2 is made corresponding to an outside diameter of approx. 170 mm and the length 3 of the cylinder body may be between 400 - 800 mm. The marking 4 device 2 is simple to manufacture in that it consists of two completely identical profile elements which are cut to the desired length, 6 the one profile element before the joint is turned and rotated 180 ° about its longitudinal axis with respect to the other profile element.
