Abstract

A safety covering for guide or guard rails has a plastic element of bright material. Besides a contour corresponding to the guide rail front side to be covered, tabs for engaging the guide rail edges from behind are provided at the longitudinal edges. A special reflecting insert can augment the optical effect. Signal surfaces applied additionally on the safety coverings at an angle of less than 90 DEG can impart further optical information to drivers. By local application of such safety coverings on guide rails, optical traffic guidance can be enhanced and easily modified.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sicherheitsüberzug für Leitplanken.The invention relates to a safety cover for guardrails.

Leitplanken sind bekanntlich sich seitlich der Fahrbahn längs erstreckende, im wesentlichen vertikal stehende Leiteinrichtungen, die ein Abkommen eines Fahrzeuges von der Fahrbahn verhindern und zugleich als optische Verkehrsführung dienen sollen. Sie werden derzeit vorwiegend aus Stahl gefertigt, wobei eine im Schnitt zwei übereinander angeordnete fahrbahnseitige Vorwölbungen zwischen ihren Längsrändern aufweisende Form besonders verbreitet ist.Guardrails are, as is well known, guiding devices which extend along the side of the carriageway and are essentially vertical, which prevent a vehicle from striking the carriageway and at the same time serve as visual traffic guidance. They are currently predominantly made of steel, with a shape having an average of two road-side protrusions arranged one above the other between their longitudinal edges being particularly common.

Diese Leitplanken können ihre optische Funktion oft nur während einer kurzen Zeitspanne erfüllen, weil sie durch Schmutz und Verwitterung bald einmal nur noch wenig Licht zurückstrahlen. Sie haben jedenfalls ein monotones Aussehen, wenn sie sichtbar sind oder optisch so wenig auffallen, dass dadurch als Folge der mangelnden optischen Erscheinung der Leitplanken Unfälle begünstigt werden.These guardrails can often only fulfill their optical function for a short period of time because they will soon only emit little light due to dirt and weathering. In any case, they have a monotonous appearance if they are visible or so little visually noticeable that accidents are promoted as a result of the lack of visual appearance of the crash barriers.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die optische Uerkehrsführungsfunktion der Leitplanken auf wirtschaftlich vorteilhafte Weise zu verbessern, bzw. zu ergänzen.The invention has for its object to improve or supplement the optical traffic management function of the crash barriers in an economically advantageous manner.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird ein Sicherheitsüberzug gemäss Anspruch 1 vorgeschlagen.To solve this problem, a safety cover according to claim 1 is proposed.

Der erfindungsgemässe Sicherheitsüberzug kann in Elementen von handlicher Länge hergestellt werden.The safety cover according to the invention can be manufactured in elements of a handy length.

Ein erfindungsgemässer Sicherheitsüberzug kann abschnittweise auf alte oder neue Leitplanken aufgesetzt werden, wobei er die lokalen Lichtreflektionseigenschaften zu verbessern oder zu verändern vermag. Dies lässt gute Sichtbarkeit unter Ausschluss von Uerwechslungsgefahr erzielen.A security covering according to the invention can be placed in sections on old or new guardrails, whereby it can improve or change the local light reflection properties. This allows good visibility to be achieved without the risk of confusion.

Günstigerweise verwendet man einen witterungsbeständigen, preiswerten Kunststoff, wie geeignete Thermoplaste, der vorteilhaft hell, besonders weiss eingefärbt sein kann.It is expedient to use a weather-resistant, inexpensive plastic, such as suitable thermoplastics, which can advantageously be colored bright, especially white.

Kunststoffkörper, die elastisch soweit verformbar sind, dass sie von der Fahrbahnseite auf die Leitplanke aufschnappbar sind, sind besonders leicht anzubringen.Plastic bodies that are elastically deformable to the extent that they can be snapped onto the guardrail from the road side are particularly easy to attach.

Ausser der durch die helle oder weisse Farbe bedingten guten Lichtreflektierung kann in besonderen Zonen eine intensive Reflektierung von Licht erfolgen, wobei dies die Unterscheidung der Leitplanke von ihrem optischen Hintergrund erheblich fördern kann. Zu diesem Zweck kann man z.B. in der Mitte.eines Sicherheitsüberzugs-Elementes eine besonders intensiv und/oder farblich leuchtend reflektierende Zone vorsehen. Eine solche Zone kann im Kunststoff eingelassen sein, was die Haltbarkeit fördert. Diese Intensivierung der Lichtreflektion kann durch bekannte Mittel wie Glaskugeln, Trippelspiegel etc. erreicht werden.In addition to the good light reflection caused by the bright or white color, intensive reflection of light can take place in special zones, which can significantly promote the distinction of the guardrail from its optical background. For this purpose one can e.g. Provide a particularly intense and / or color-reflective zone in the middle of a safety cover element. Such a zone can be embedded in the plastic, which promotes durability. This intensification of light reflection can be achieved by known means such as glass balls, triple mirrors, etc.

Der Sicherheitsüberzug eignet sich besonders gut für die gebräuchlichste, eingangs genannte Leitplankenform, weil er dabei seine Wirkung hervorragend entfalten kann und in der Formgebung wirtschaftlich realisierbar ist.The safety cover is particularly suitable for the most common guardrail shape mentioned at the beginning, because it can exert its effect excellently and its shape is economically feasible.

Die Erfindung bietet demnach die Möglichkeit durch stellenweises Anbringen von erfindungsgemässen Sicherheitsüberzugs-Elementen auf Leitplanken die optische Verkehrsführung zumindest unterscheidungskräftiger zu machen. Die Sicherheitsüberzugs-Elemente können nicht nur besonders schmutzabweisend und witterungsbeständig sein, sondern auch der Reinigung und/oder dem Austausch zugänglicher sein als die Leitplanken selbst.The invention accordingly offers the possibility, at least in places, of optical safety guidance by attaching safety covering elements according to the invention on guardrails to make it more distinctive. The safety cover elements can not only be particularly dirt-repellent and weather-resistant, but can also be more accessible for cleaning and / or replacement than the crash barriers themselves.

Durch geeignete farbliche und andere Gestaltung des Sicherheitsüberzuges ist eine weitere Einflussnahme auf den Verkehr möglich, z.B. durch Anbringen immer kürzerer Elemente in immer kürzeren Abständen, zur Vortäuschung steigender Geschwindigkeit vor Kurven, Kreuzungen und anderen Gefahrenstellen, oder aber anderer Signale, z.B. zur Warnung vor Geisterfahrern die irrtümlicherweise auf Autobahnen geraten sind und ihr Fahrzeug entgegen der zulässigen Fahrtrichtung steuern.Appropriate color and other design of the safety cover can further influence traffic, e.g. by attaching ever shorter elements at ever shorter distances, to simulate increasing speed in front of curves, intersections and other danger spots, or other signals, e.g. to warn of ghost drivers who have accidentally got onto motorways and steer their vehicle against the permitted direction of travel.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand einer lediglich einen Ausführungsweg darstellenden Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigt:

  • Figur 1 ein Sicherheitsüberzugs-Element 1 in einer Form die derjenigen der häufigsten Leitplankenprofilen entspricht, wobei zwei nach vorne zur Fahrbahn hin vorstehende Wülste 2 von einer Nut 3 getrennt sind. Längs bei den Längsrändern 4 sind nach hinten abgebogene Halteteile 5 vorgesehen, die die Leitplankenränder hintergreifen können.
The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of a drawing which represents only one embodiment. It shows:
  • 1 shows a safety covering element 1 in a form which corresponds to that of the most common guardrail profiles, two beads 2 projecting forward towards the roadway being separated from a groove 3. Longitudinally bent rearward holding parts 5 are provided at the longitudinal edges 4, which can reach behind the guardrail edges.

Der Kunststoffkörper 1 kann unter elastischer Verformung von vorne auf eine Leitplanke aufgeschnappt werden.The plastic body 1 can be snapped onto a guardrail from the front with elastic deformation.

In der Mitte der Nut 3 befindet sich eine besonders reflektierende Zone 6, die auf dem Kunststoffkörper aufliegt oder im Kunststoffkörper 1 eingebettet ist. Sie kann sich von der weissen Kunststoffkörperfarbe auch farblich abheben.In the middle of the groove 3 there is a particularly reflective zone 6, which rests on the plastic body or is embedded in the plastic body 1. It can also stand out in color from the white plastic body color.

In Figur 2 wird eine Autobahnausfahrt aus der Perspektive eines Geisterfahrers dargestellt. Dabei sind auf die beidseitigen Leitplanken je drei Sicherheitsüberzüge mit je zwei gegenüber der Fahrtrichtung des Geisterfahrers weniger als 90 geneigte, mit Einbahnzeichen belegte Signalflächen 10 ersichtlich, die den Fahrer auf seinen folgenschweren Fahrfehler aufmerksam machen sollen.FIG. 2 shows a motorway exit from the perspective of a ghost driver. The safety barriers on both sides each have three safety covers, each with two signal surfaces 10, which are less than 90 and are inclined with one-way signs and which are intended to alert the driver to serious driving errors.

In Figur 3 wird schliesslich ein einziges mit zwei Signalflächen 10 besetztes Sicherheitsüberzugs-Element 1 als vergrössertes Detail der Fig. 2 gezeigt, und schliesslich in Fig. 4 ist der Querschnitt eines ungespannten Sicherheitsüberzugs-Elementes 1 zu sehen, um die allmähliche lokale Verdickung 2' des Wulstes 2 beobachten zu können. Erfindungsgemäss dienen diese verdickten Stellen des Wulstes 2 im Sinne eines verkehrt gespannten Pfeilbogens nach erfolgter Montage für die Befestigung des Sicherheitsüberzugs-Elementes 1 auf die Leitplanke.Finally, FIG. 3 shows a single safety covering element 1 with two signal surfaces 10 as an enlarged detail of FIG. 2, and finally FIG. 4 shows the cross section of an unstressed safety covering element 1 in order to allow the gradual local thickening 2 ′ of the bead 2 to be able to observe. According to the invention, these thickened areas of the bead 2 are used in the sense of an incorrectly stretched arrow bow after assembly for fastening the safety cover element 1 onto the guardrail.
