Description

La présente invention concerne un coffre ouvrant pour la protection d'un appareillage se présentant sous la forme d'un poteau dont la tête comporte des organes à protéger aussi bien contre les intempéries, les chocs, les utilisations par des personnes non habilitées, que contre des actes de vandalisme.The present invention relates to a trunk opening for the protection of an apparatus being in the form of a post, the head of which comprises members to be protected both from bad weather, shocks, use by unauthorized persons, as well as against acts of vandalism.

L'invention s'applique plus particulièrement, mais non exclusivement, à la protection des poteaux d'incendie qui, comme on le sait, consistent en des prises d'eau normalisées placées au-dessus du sol, sur un support affectant la forme générale d'un poteau.The invention applies more particularly, but not exclusively, to the protection of fire hydrants which, as is known, consist of standardized water intakes placed above the ground, on a support affecting the general shape of a pole.

Dans ce cas,les organes à protéger sont essentiellement les éléments de raccords destinés à recevoir les tuyaux d'incendie, et l'élément de manoeuvre permettant l'ouverture et la fermeture, avec vidange, de l'organe d'obturation du poteau d'incendie.In this case, the members to be protected are essentially the connecting elements intended to receive the fire hoses, and the operating element allowing the opening and closing, with emptying, of the shutter member of the post. 'fire.

Il est clair que, dans ce cas, il convient de prévoir un dispositif de protection qui puisse être rapidement dégagé lors de la mise en service du poteau et qui, une fois ôté, ne puisse pas constituer une géne pour le déroulement des opérations. Ce dispositif doit ensuite être facilement remonté après utilisation du poteau.It is clear that, in this case, it is necessary to provide a protection device which can be quickly released during the commissioning of the post and which, once removed, cannot constitute a hindrance for the course of operations. This device must then be easily reassembled after using the pole.

L'invention a donc pour but de parvenir à tous ces résultats. A cet effet, elle propose un coffre comprenant :

  • - une partie fixe venant se monter fixement sur le poteau en dessous de la zone à protéger, cette partie fixe comportant, d'un c8té du poteau, une structure support ;
  • - une partie mobile formant capot, destinée à venir recouvrir, en position de fermeture, la partie supérieure du poteau, en assurant de préférence, une continuité de forme et/ou d'étanchéité avec la partie fixe;
  • - une liaison mécanique montée entre la structure support et la partie mobile, cette liaison permettant un mouvement ascendant de la partie mobile par rapport à la partie fixe pour obtenir l'ouverture du coffre, et un mouvement descendant pour son retour en position fermée, et
  • - un dispositif d'assistance monté entre la partie fixe et la partie mobile, ce dispositif d'assistance étant conçu de manière à exercer un effort tendant à entraîner la partie mobile au cours de son mouvement ascendant.
The invention therefore aims to achieve all these results. To this end, it offers a safe comprising:
  • a fixed part which is fixedly mounted on the post below the zone to be protected, this fixed part comprising, on one side of the post, a support structure;
  • a movable part forming a cover, intended to cover, in the closed position, the upper part of the post, preferably ensuring continuity of shape and / or sealing with the part fixed;
  • a mechanical connection mounted between the support structure and the mobile part, this connection allowing an upward movement of the mobile part relative to the fixed part to obtain the opening of the trunk, and a downward movement for its return to the closed position, and
  • an assistance device mounted between the fixed part and the mobile part, this assistance device being designed so as to exert a force tending to drive the mobile part during its upward movement.

De préférence, dans une telle structure, la susdite liaison est conçue de manière à ce que la partie mobile du coffre n'occupe pas plus de place au sol en position ouverte qu'en position fermée.Preferably, in such a structure, the above connection is designed so that the movable part of the trunk does not occupy more space on the ground in the open position than in the closed position.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le susdit dispositif d'assistance comprend des moyens destinés à accumuler, sous forme d'énergie potentielle, une partie de l'effort exercé pour assurer la fermeture du coffre et à libérer ensuite cette énergie potentielle au moment de l'ouverture. Un tel dispositif d'assistance peut alors consister en au moins un ressort pneumatique, un ressort métallique, un élément élastique en caoutchouc etc....According to another characteristic of the invention, the aforesaid assistance device comprises means intended to accumulate, in the form of potential energy, part of the force exerted to ensure the closing of the trunk and then to release this potential energy at opening time. Such an assistance device can then consist of at least one pneumatic spring, a metal spring, an elastic rubber element, etc.

Ce dispositif d'assistance peut en outre faire intervenir un élément moteur tel qu'un moteur électrique, un moteur thermique ou même un système hydraulique.This assistance device can also involve a motor element such as an electric motor, a heat engine or even a hydraulic system.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'inven- cion, dans le cas d'un poteau d'incendie, le dispositif d'assistance peut utiliser la pression de l'eau alimentant le poteau d'incendie, soit au moyen d'un vérin directement soumis à la pression de l'eau, soit au moyen d'un circuit hydraulique utilisant la pression de l'eau pour déplacer un fluide hydraulique.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, in the case of a fire hydrant, the assistance device can use the pressure of the water supplying the fire hydrant, either by means of a jack directly subject to water pressure, either by means of a hydraulic circuit using water pressure to move hydraulic fluid.

Bien entendu le coffre peut en outre comprendre un mécanisme permettant de verrouiller la partie mobile sur la partie fixe par exemple au moyen d'une clé.Of course the trunk can also include a mechanism for locking the movable part on the fixed part, for example by means of a key.

Un mode de réalisation de l'invention sera décrit ci-après, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, avec référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels:

  • La figure 1 est une coupe axiale verticale d'un poteau d'incendie équipé d'un coffre selon l'invention,
  • La figure 2 est une coupe transversale selon B-B de la figure 1 ;
An embodiment of the invention will be described below, by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a vertical axial section of a fire hydrant equipped with a chest according to the invention,
  • Figure 2 is a cross section along BB of Figure 1;

Les figures 3 et 4 sont deux coupes schématiques représentant le coffre en position ouverte et en position formée.Figures 3 and 4 are two schematic sections showing the trunk in the open position and in the formed position.

Avec référence aux figures 1 et 2, le coffre comprend tout d'abord une partie fixe 1 comportant une embase 2 et une structure de support 3.With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the boot first comprises a fixed part 1 comprising a base 2 and a support structure 3.

L'embase 2 présente une forme tubulaire de section en losange et est réalisée par assemblage de deux éléments de section triangulaire 4, 5 (figure 2). Les faces 6, 7 de ces deux éléments 4, 5 au niveau desquelles s'effectue cet assemblage présentent dans leur partie centrale une forme demi cylindrique 8, 9 déportée légèrement vers l'angle extérieur 10' de l'élément 4 et dans lequel vient passer la partie inférieure du poteau 10. Ces deux formes demi cylindriques 8, 9 viennent enserrer le poteau 10 à la façon d'un collier et assurent ainsi la fixation de l'embase 2 sur le poteau 10.The base 2 has a tubular shape of diamond section and is produced by assembling two elements of triangular section 4, 5 (Figure 2). The faces 6, 7 of these two elements 4, 5 at which this assembly takes place have in their central part a semi-cylindrical shape 8, 9 offset slightly towards the external angle 10 'of the element 4 and in which comes pass the lower part of the post 10. These two semi-cylindrical shapes 8, 9 enclose the post 10 in the manner of a collar and thus ensure the fixing of the base 2 on the post 10.

Les deux faces extérieures 11, 12 de l'élément 5 de l'embase 2 se trouvent prolongées vers le haut jusqu'à un niveau situé légèrement au-dessus de la tête 13 du poteau d'incendie 10 et constituent le susdit élément de support 14.The two outer faces 11, 12 of the element 5 of the base 2 are extended upwards to a level situated slightly above the head 13 of the fire hydrant 10 and constitute the above-mentioned support element 14.

La partie mobile 15 présente une forme en partie tubulaire de section en losange prolongeant les faces extérieures 11, 12, 16 et 17 de l'embase 2 et se terminant par un toit oblique 16.The movable part 15 has a partly tubular shape of diamond section extending the outer faces 11, 12, 16 and 17 of the base 2 and ending in an oblique roof 16.

Bien entendu, le contour inférieur de cette partie mobile 15 est découpé de manière à venir épouser le contour de la bordure supérieure de la partie fixe 1.Of course, the lower contour of this movable part 15 is cut so as to conform to the contour of the upper edge of the fixed part 1.

La liaison de la partie fixe à la partie mobile est assurée au moyen de deux couples de bielles 18, 18' - 19, 19' formant deux parallélogrammes articulés situés de part et d'autre du poteau 10.The connection from the fixed part to the mobile part is provided by means of two pairs of connecting rods 18, 18 '- 19, 19' forming two articulated parallelograms located on either side of the post 10.

Chacun de ces couples de bielles 18, 18' et 19, 19' vient s'articuler d'un côté, sur deux axes parallèles respectifs 20, 20' montés dans la partie supérieure de l'élément de support 14, et, de l'autre côté, sur deux axes parallèles respectifs 21, 21' montés dans la partie inférieure de la partie mobile 15.Each of these pairs of rods 18, 18 'and 19, 19' is articulated on one side, on two respective parallel axes 20, 20 'mounted in the upper part of the support element 14, and, from the 'other side, on two respective parallel axes 21, 21' mounted in the lower part of the movable part 15.

Dans l'exemple représenté, la droite reliant le centre des deux axes 20, 20' et la droite reliant le centre des deux axes 21, 21' sont verticales, de sorte qu'au cours de l'ouverture et de la fermeture (figures 3 et 4) la partie mobile 15 demeurera axée verticalement.In the example shown, the straight line connecting the center of the two axes 20, 20 'and the straight line connecting the center of the two axes 21, 21' are vertical, so that during opening and closing (Figures 3 and 4) the movable part 15 will remain vertically oriented.

Comme précédemment mentionné, le coffre comprend en outre un dispositif d'assistance qui, en l'occurrence, consiste en deux ressorts pneumatiques 22, 22' venant s'articuler d'un côté respectivement sur les bielles 18, 19 et, de l'autre c8té,sur les faces 11 et 12 de l'élément de support 14, (axes 23, 23') dans l'alignement des axes 20 et 20'.As previously mentioned, the trunk also comprises an assistance device which, in this case, consists of two pneumatic springs 22, 22 ′ which are hinged on one side respectively on the connecting rods 18, 19 and, from the another side, on the faces 11 and 12 of the support element 14, (axes 23, 23 ') in alignment with the axes 20 and 20'.

Ainsi,ces ressorts pneumatiques 22, 22' accumulent une partie de l'effort exercé pour réaliser la fermeture du coffre et la restituent ensuite pour assurer une ouverture automatique.Thus, these pneumatic springs 22, 22 ′ accumulate part of the force exerted to close the trunk and then restore it to ensure automatic opening.

L'élément de support 14 comprend en outre un mécanisme de verrouillage 25 de type classique comprenant un pêne basculant 26 coopérant avec une gâche 27 prévue dans la partie mobile 15. Dans l'exemple représenté, le pêne 26 peut être entraîné au moyen d'un carré d'actionnement 28.The support element 14 further comprises a locking mechanism 25 of conventional type comprising a tilting bolt 26 cooperating with a strike 27 provided in the movable part 15. In the example shown, the bolt 26 can be driven by means of an actuating square 28.

Bien entendu,l'invention ne se limite pas à la forme de section en losange du coffre précédemment décrit. Celui-ci pourrait présenter aussi bien une forme de section circulaire ou ovale ou bien une forme plus complexe.Of course, the invention is not limited to the diamond-shaped section of the trunk previously described. This could have either a circular or oval section shape or a more complex shape.

On notera enfin que la partie mobile 15 du coffre précédemment décrit peut avantageusement servir de support de motifs publicitaires divers.Finally, note that the mobile part 15 of the previously described trunk can advantageously serve as a support for various advertising motifs.
