Description

La présente invention est relative à un élément porteur destiné à servir seul ou en association avec d'autres éléments porteurs, poteau du type que l'on rencontre au bord des routes, rues et chemins, élément essentiellement vertical à fixer dans ou sur le sol et destiné à porter ou à y suspendre un ou plusieurs dispositifs de forme et fonction diverses comme par exemple un écriteau en vue d'obtenir un poteau-indicateur, ou encore par exemple dispositifs lumineux en vue d'obtenir un poteau ou potence d'éclairage, un poteau de signalisation lumineux et/ou encore utilisé en des associations d'éléments porteurs verticaux et horizontaux pour former la structure d'un bâtiment ou d'un objet.The present invention relates to a load-bearing element intended to be used alone or in combination with other load-bearing elements, post of the type that is encountered at the edge of roads, streets and paths, essentially vertical element to be fixed in or on the ground. and intended to carry or hang thereon one or more devices of various shape and function such as for example a sign in order to obtain a signpost, or even for example light devices in order to obtain a lighting pole or bracket , a luminous sign post and / or also used in combinations of vertical and horizontal load-bearing elements to form the structure of a building or an object.

Les éléments porteurs et plus particulièrement les poteaux actuellement connus, sont constitués par un élément d'un seul tenant, élément plein ou encore profilé creux fermé dont le gabarit est généralement identique sur toute sa longueur ou encore simplement légèrement conique de manière à s'amincir vers son extrémité éloignée du sol de sorte que le gabarit est souvent bien supérieur à ce qui est nécessaire pour l'usage auquel il est destiné.The load-bearing elements and more particularly the posts currently known, are constituted by an element in one piece, a solid element or even a closed hollow profile whose gauge is generally identical over its entire length or even simply slightly conical so as to become thinner. towards its end remote from the ground so that the gauge is often much greater than what is necessary for the use for which it is intended.

Par le brevet FR-A-1 429 586 on a également déjà prévu un support de panneau de signalisation constitué par deux éléments identiques réunis par un dispositif de serrage formé par une bride. Toutefois, chaque élément ne forme pas seul un support. D'autre part, ces deux éléments sont de même longueur et le support ne peut être réalisé qu'avec deux éléments mis bout à et donc dans le même plan.By patent FR-A-1 429 586, a signal panel support is also already provided, consisting of two identical elements joined by a clamping device formed by a flange. However, each element does not alone form a support. On the other hand, these two elements are of the same length and the support can only be produced with two elements placed end to end and therefore in the same plane.

L'élément porteur ou poteau, selon la présente invention, remédie à ces inconvénients tout en ayant en plus des avantages qui lui sont propres.The carrier element or post, according to the present invention, overcomes these drawbacks while having in addition its own advantages.

Selon la présente invention chaque élément constitue par lui-même un poteau et il peut être associé avec un ou trois autres éléments de profil en coupe identique dont la longueur peut être différente. Par ailleurs, on peut associer deux éléments de manière à ce qu'ils se retrouvent dans un plan perpendiculaire l'un à l'autre.According to the present invention each element constitutes by itself a post and it can be associated with one or three other elements of profile in identical section whose length may be different. In addition, one can associate two elements so that they are found in a plane perpendicular to one another.

L'élément porteur ou poteau qui seul ou en associsation peut servir de poteau du type que l'on rencontre au bord des routes, rues et chemins, élément essentiellement vertical à fixer dans ou sur le sol et destiné à porter ou à y suspendre un ou plusieurs dispositifs de forme et fonction diverses comme par exemple, un écriteau en vue d'obtenir un poteau-indicateur, ou encore, par exemple, dispositifs lumineux en vue d'obtenir un poteau ou potence d'éclairage, un poteau de signalisation et/ou encore qui, utilisé en association d'éléments porteurs verticaux et horizontaux, peut former une structure, est constitué par un module de base formant par lui-même un élément porteur ou poteau et module associable ou associé à un, deux trois autres modules identiques, à l'exception éventuellement de la longueur, chaque module supplémentaire venant former avec celui ou ceux déjà prévus un élément porteur ou poteau et ce par un ou plusieurs moyens de liaison, et élément porteur pouvant ensuite être associé avec d'autres éléments porteurs pour former une structure et ce par un plusieurs moyens de liaison, caractérisé en ce que chaque module de base est un profilé en forme de triangle isocèle se prolongeant en un rectangle droit, dont les deux faces de l'angle du triangle isocèle forment les faces d'association et dont les deux côtés parallèles comportent sur toute leur hauteur une large rainure en forme de queue d'aronde permettant au coin de rencontre de chaque module de base avec son voisin, d'y glisser une pièce de liaison profilée en cornière munie sur chaque côté extérieur d'un patin en forme de queue d'aronde dont les dimensions correspondent à celles de la rainure.The load-bearing element or pole which alone or in combination can serve as a pole of the type encountered at the edge of roads, streets and paths, an essentially vertical element to be fixed in or on the ground and intended to carry or suspend a or several devices of various shape and function such as, for example, a sign in order to obtain a signpost, or, for example, luminous devices in order to obtain a lighting pole or bracket, a signpost and / or which, used in combination with vertical and horizontal load-bearing elements, can form a structure, is constituted by a basic module forming by itself a load-bearing element or post and module that can be associated or associated with one, two or three other modules identical, with the possible exception of the length, each additional module coming to form with that or those already provided a carrier element or post and this by one or more connecting means, and carrier element can then be a associated with other load-bearing elements to form a structure by several connecting means, characterized in that each basic module is a profile in the form of an isosceles triangle extending into a right rectangle, the two sides of which angle of the isosceles triangle form the association faces and whose two parallel sides have over their entire height a wide groove in the form of a dovetail allowing the corner where each basic module meets its neighbor, to slide a angle-shaped connecting piece provided on each outer side with a dovetail-shaped shoe, the dimensions of which correspond to those of the groove.

D'autres mode de réalisation préférés de l'invention apparaissent dans les sous-revendications.Other preferred embodiments of the invention appear in the dependent claims.

Afin de mieux comprendre l'invention, on la décrit maintenant de manière exemplative par rapport à un dessin annexé, qui représente:

  • à la figure 1, une vue en coupe horizontale dans un module de base présentant un profil préférentiel;
  • à la figure 2, une vue en coupe horizontale dans une association de quatre modules de base du type représenté à la figure 1;
  • à la figure 3, une vue en coupe horizontale dans une association de deux modules de base du type représenté à la figure 1 ;
  • à la figure 4, une vue partielle en arraché dans quatre modules de base du type représenté à la figure 1, formant un poteau vertical associé à deux autres modules du même type placés horizontalement de manière à former un départ de coin d'une structure.
In order to better understand the invention, it is now described by way of example with reference to an attached drawing, which represents:
  • in Figure 1, a horizontal sectional view in a basic module having a preferred profile;
  • in Figure 2, a horizontal sectional view in an association of four basic modules of the type shown in Figure 1;
  • in Figure 3, a horizontal sectional view in a combination of two basic modules of the type shown in Figure 1;
  • in Figure 4, a partial cutaway view in four basic modules of the type shown in Figure 1, forming a vertical post associated with two other modules of the same type placed horizontally so as to form a corner start of a structure.

En se référent à ces différentes figures, on a représenté par (1b, figures 1 à 4), un module de base de forme préférentielle, qui tous ont de part et d'autre d'un angle (IX), un plan droit et régulier (2, 3) qui vont former faces d'association, angle (IX) de 90° dans une association complète possible et comme représentée de quatre modules (1b) de base, mais qui pourrait être différent et par exemples de 120° dans une association complète possible de trois modules (1b) de base, c'est-à-dire que l'angle (IX) sera de 360° nombre de modulesReferring to these different figures, there is shown by (1b, Figures 1 to 4), a basic module of preferential shape, which all have on either side of an angle (IX), a straight plane and regular (2, 3) which will form association faces, angle (I X ) of 90 ° in a possible complete association and as represented by four basic modules (1b), but which could be different and for example 120 ° in a possible complete association of three basic modules (1b), i.e. the angle ( IX ) will be 360 ° number of modules

Chaque module de base (1b) constituant par lui-même un poteau ou élément porteur, est fixé au sol, de toute manière connue, par exemple enfoncé et planté dans le sol bétonné, boulonné sur ou dans une plaque ou un bloc lui-même enfoncé dans le sol etc ...; dans le cas d'une association de module de base (1b), chacun de ceux-ci va s'appuyer sur un autre par l'une ou ses faces d'association (2 ou 3).Each basic module (1b) constituting by itself a post or load-bearing element, is fixed to the ground, in any known manner, for example pressed and planted in the concrete ground, bolted on or in a plate or a block itself sunk into the ground etc ...; in the case of a basic module association (1b), each of these will be supported on another by one or its association faces (2 or 3).

Afin que le module des base (1b) supplémentaire prévu à un ou plusieurs autres modules consolide l'association, il est prévu de relier chaque module de base (1b) prévu à son voisin par un moyen de liaison.So that the additional base module (1b) provided for one or more other modules consolidates the association, it is planned to connect each basic module (1b) provided to its neighbor by a connecting means.

En se référant aux figures é à 3, on a représenté des modules de base (1b) qui présentent un profil en coupe plus élaboré qui permet de prévoir des moyens de liaison qui peuvent être utilisés sans vis ni boulons, c'est-à-dire sans aucun moyen mécanique, comme d'ailleurs sans soudure, mais par simple emboîtement.Referring to Figures é to 3, there are shown basic modules (1b) which have a more elaborate sectional profile which allows to provide connecting means which can be used without screws or bolts, that is to say say without any mechanical means, as elsewhere without welding, but by simple interlocking.

Pour ce faire, chaque module de base (1b) est pourvu de haut en bas, sur sa partie droite de chaque côté, d'une large rainure latérale (9) en forme de queue-d'aronde: pour ce faire, le module de base qui, par les deux faces d'association (2 et 3) côtés de l'angle (IX), forme, comme représenté aux figures 1 à 3, un triangle rectangle-isocèle, se prolonge en rectangle droit dont chacun des deux côtés parallèles (10, 11) va comporter la large rainure en queue-d'aronde (9). Au coin de recontre (8) de chaque module de base (1b) avec son voisin, on prévoit de glisser par le haut (ou le bas) dans les rainures (9) voisines, une pièce de liaison, profilé en cornière (12) munie sur chaque côté extérieur d'un patin (12') en forme de queue-d'aronde dont les dimensions correspondent à celles de la rainure (9).To do this, each basic module (1b) is provided from top to bottom, on its right side on each side, with a wide lateral groove (9) in the form of a dovetail: to do this, the module base which, by the two association faces (2 and 3) sides of the angle (IX), forms, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, a right-isosceles triangle, extends into a right rectangle, each of which parallel sides (10, 11) will have the wide dovetail groove (9). At the meeting corner (8) of each basic module (1b) with its neighbor, provision is made to slide from the top (or the bottom) into the adjacent grooves (9), a connecting piece, shaped as an angle (12) provided on each outer side with a shoe (12 ') in the form of a dovetail whose dimensions correspond to those of the groove (9).

Dans le cas où l'association de modules de base (1b) en comporte quatre et que l'angle (IX) est de 90° (voir figure 2), on va utiliser également seulement quatre profilés de liaison en cornière (12). Dans le cas où l'association de modules de base (1 b) n'en comporte que deux (figure 3), outre un profilé de liaison en cornière (12), on prévoit, pour les raisons déjà indiquées, dans l'association de deux modules de base (1a), un autre profilé spécial (13) pontant, par delà les faces libres en prolongement des deux modules de base (1b), ceux-ci, par leurs côtés d'association libres, profilé spécial (13) comportant également, côtés latéraux, un patin (13') en forme de queue-d'aronde dont les dimensions correspondent à celles de la rainure (9) et dans laquelle l'on va glisser le patin (13').In the case where the combination of basic modules (1b) has four and the angle ( IX ) is 90 ° (see Figure 2), we will also use only four angle connection profiles (12). In the case where the association of basic modules (1b) comprises only two (FIG. 3), in addition to an angle connection profile (12), provision is made, for the reasons already indicated, in the association of two base modules (1a), another special profile (13) bridging, beyond the free faces in extension of the two base modules (1b), these, by their free association sides, special profile (13 ) also comprising, on the lateral sides, a shoe (13 ') in the form of a dovetail whose dimensions correspond to those of the groove (9) and in which the shoe (13') is to be slid.

De même, lorsque l'on utilise un module de base (1b) seul comme poteau ou élément porteur, on prévoit également un profilé spécial (14, figure 1) pourvu de deux patins (14'); ce profilé spécial (14) n'est pas utilisé, bien entendu, comme élément de liaison d'une association mais uniquement pour refermer à l'arrière le poteau ou élément porteur constitué d'un seul module de base (1 b) et lui donner une esthétique parfaite: l'on prévoit que la face extérieure et visible de ce profilé spécial (14) comme (13) sera rainurée ou martelée de sorte à éviter que l'on puisse y faire adhérer facilement des affiches.Similarly, when a basic module (1b) is used alone as a post or support element, a special profile (14, FIG. 1) is also provided, provided with two pads (14 '); this special profile (14) is not used, of course, as a connecting element of an association but only to close at the rear the post or supporting element consisting of a single base module (1b) and it give a perfect aesthetic: it is expected that the external and visible face of this special profile (14) as (13) will be grooved or hammered so as to prevent that posters can be easily adhered thereto.

Comme visible à ces figures 1 à 4, le module de base du type préférentiel ne se limite pas à une partie (1 b) en forme de triangle isocèle prolongé par un rectangle droit à côtés latéraux (10, 11) et permettant une association avec d'autres modules identiques, mais le module va au-delà du côtés transversal (15) reliant les deux côtés latéraux (10, 11) se prolonger symétriquement en une autre partie (17) creuse. Il faut noter que la partie (1b) ne doit pas nécessairement être creuse. Cette partie creuse (17) du module de base du type préférentiel va être utilisé pour le passage, par exemple, de câbles ou y fixer différents accessoires et cela dans le cas où le module sert de poteau de signalisation routière. Mais cette partie creuse (17) est, comme visible à la figure 4, destinée à permettre und association de modules de base du type préférentiel permettant d'obtenir une structure porteuse; en effet, on peut glisser à l'intérieur de cette partie creuse (17) soit l'une soit l'autre branche (18', 18") d'une équerre de coin droite de symétrique (18') ce qui va permettre une liaison de coin et une association d'un module de base vertical avec un module de base horizontal. La forme et les dimensions en profil de chaque branche (18', 18") sont correspondantes à celles du profil intérieur de la partie creuse (17).As shown in these figures 1 to 4, the basic module of the preferred type is not limited to a part (1b) in the form of an isosceles triangle extended by a right rectangle with lateral sides (10, 11) and allowing an association with other identical modules, but the module goes beyond the transverse sides (15) connecting the two lateral sides (10, 11) to extend symmetrically into another hollow part (17). It should be noted that the part (1b) does not necessarily have to be hollow. This hollow part (17) of the basic module of the preferred type will be used for the passage, for example, of cables or attach different accessories to it and this in the case where the module serves as a road sign post. However, this hollow part (17) is, as visible in FIG. 4, intended to allow the association of basic modules of the preferential type making it possible to obtain a support structure; indeed, one can slide inside this hollow part (17) either one or the other branch (18 ′, 18 ″) of a right-angled square of symmetrical (18 ′) which will allow a corner connection and a combination of a vertical base module with a horizontal base module. The shape and dimensions in profile of each branch (18 ', 18 ") correspond to those of the interior profile of the hollow part ( 17).

On va donc pouvoir réaliser, au moyen d'un seul et même type de profilé et par simple emboîtement, tant une association d'éléments et obtenir un élément porteur complexe qu'une association d'éléments et obtenir des éléments porteurs simples ou complexes qui, associés, vont former une structure porteuse.We will therefore be able to achieve, by means of one and the same type of profile and by simple interlocking, both a combination of elements and obtain a complex bearing element than a combination of elements and obtain simple or complex bearing elements which , partners, will form a supporting structure.
