Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif de protection, destiné à être utilisé notamment contre des véhicules piégés , ou à intrusion intempestive. En particulier , un tel dispositif vise à être efficace contre un commando suicide , qui , à bord d'un véhicule bourré d'explosifs cherche à pénétrer dans une enceinte ou dans un bâtiment , pour en provoquer la destruction.The present invention relates to a protection device, intended to be used in particular against trapped vehicles, or untimely intrusion. In particular, such a device aims to be effective against a suicide commando, which, on board a vehicle stuffed with explosives seeks to enter an enclosure or a building, to cause its destruction.

Des opérations-suicide de ce genre ont été observées dans différents pays du monde , sous la forme d'attentats terroristes , dont certains ont été jusqu'a provoquer la destruction d'un immeuble complet , en causant de nombreuses victimes.Suicide operations of this kind have been observed in different countries of the world, in the form of terrorist attacks, some of which have gone so far as to cause the destruction of an entire building, causing numerous victims.

Différents sytèmes ont été proposés pour parer à une telle éventualité , et arrêter coûte que coûte un véhicule qui tente de forcer un barrage.La plupart de ces dispositifs comprennent des obstacles amovibles qui , normalement escamotés dans la chaussée d'une route , se dressent automatiquement en cas d'intrusion d'un véhicule suspect . De tels dispositifs connus présentent plusieurs inconvénients .Different systems have been proposed to deal with such an eventuality, and to stop at any cost a vehicle which tries to break through a barrier. Most of these devices include removable obstacles which, normally retracted into the roadway, stand up automatically in the event of a suspicious vehicle intrusion. Such known devices have several drawbacks.

Tout d'abord , leur coût de réalisation est très élevé.First of all, their cost of production is very high.

D'autre part , leur efficacité reste discutable . En effet , il arrive que leur solidité mécanique soit insuffisante , et qu'ils soient arrachés au passage d'un véhicule lourd , qui les aborde à grande vitesse.On the other hand, their effectiveness remains questionable. Indeed, it happens that their mechanical strength is insufficient, and that they are torn from the passage of a heavy vehicle, which approaches them at high speed.

Le brevet US-A-4 554 695 préambule de la revendication 1 prévoit une plate-forme horizontale 10 qui tombe dans une fosse 16 en cas de franchissement intempestif. Mais rien ne dépasse jamais au-dessus du plan horizontal de la chaussée , si bien qu'ùn tel système est incapable d'arrêter positivement un véhicule lancé à grande vitesse , notamment un véhicule suicide.US-A-4,554,695 preamble to claim 1 provides a horizontal platform 10 which falls into a pit 16 in the event of untimely crossing. But nothing ever protrudes above the horizontal plane of the roadway, so that such a system is unable to stop positively a vehicle launched at high speed, in particular a suicide vehicle.

Le document EP-A-0 012 001 n' est pas plus efficace .De plus, le panneau 50 se relève sous l'action d'un solénoïde ( page 13 , ligne 12) si bien qu'il ne fonctionne pas en cas de sabotage ou de panne électrique .The document EP-A-0 012 001 is not more effective. In addition, the panel 50 is raised under the action of a solenoid (page 13, line 12) so that it does not function in the event of sabotage or electrical failure.

Le document FR-A-1 102 070 prévoit seulement le relevage d'une poutre c , mais , en aucun cas, le véhicule intrus ne risque de tomber dans une fosse.Document FR-A-1 102 070 provides only the lifting of a c- beam, but, in any case, the intruding vehicle is not likely to fall into a pit.

La présente invention a pour but d'éviter ces inconvénients , en réalisant un dispositif de sécurité susceptible d'arrêter à coup sûr même un véhicule lourd , et dont la mise en place correspond à un coût relativement modique.The object of the present invention is to avoid these drawbacks, by providing a safety device capable of stopping even a heavy vehicle, and the installation of which corresponds to a relatively low cost.

Un dispositif de protection selon l'invention destiné à être placé en travers de la chaussée ou d'une route , et tel que décrit dans US-A-4554695 comprend:

  • une fosse , creusée transversalement et au-dessous du niveau de la chaussée ;
  • un panneau qui recouvre l'ouverture supérieure de la fosse , lorsqu'il affleure le niveau de la chaussée , ce panneau étant articulé sur un axe transversal situé à la partie supérieure de la fosse , le long du bord qui est situé à l'arrière de celle-ci , par rapport à la direction prévue pour l'arrivée des véhicules ;
  • des moyens pour verrouiller de façon amovible le bord avant du panneau basculant lorsque celui-ci affleure la surface de la chaussée ;
  • des moyens pour commander à distance le déverrouillage du bord avant du panneau , lequel peut alors basculer vers le bas et tomber dans la fosse.
A protection device according to the invention intended to be placed across the roadway or a road, and as described in US-A-4554695 comprises:
  • a pit, dug transversely and below the level of the roadway;
  • a panel which covers the upper opening of the pit, when it is flush with the level of the floor, this panel being articulated on a transverse axis situated at the upper part of the pit, along the edge which is situated at the rear from it, in relation to the direction planned for the arrival of the vehicles;
  • means for detachably locking the front edge of the tilting panel when the latter is flush with the surface of the floor;
  • means for remotely controlling the unlocking of the front edge of the panel, which can then tilt down and fall into the pit.

Suivant la caractéristique essentielle l'invention l'axe transversal est un axe fixe, et au delà de l'axe fixe le panneau est prolongé par des piques logées, en position escamotée, dans une creusure de la chaussée, et susçeptibles de se relever au dessus de la chaussée, face à un intrus avançant dans la direction prévue, avant que celui-ci ne parvienne à la fosse, quand est tombé dans celle-ci, le bord avant deverrouillé du panneau.According to the essential characteristic of the invention, the transverse axis is a fixed axis, and beyond the fixed axis the panel is extended by spikes housed, in the retracted position, in a recess in the pavement, and capable of being raised at above the roadway, facing an intruder advancing in the intended direction, before this one reaches the pit, when it fell into it, the front edge unlocked of the panel.

Suivant une caractéristique préférée de l'invention , les moyens pour le verrouillage du bord avant du panneau sont constitués par une équerre , dont l'angle est articulé sur un axe fixe , disposé transversalement , à la partie supérieure de la fosse , près de son bord avant , la branche supérieure de l'équerre étant destinée à supporter horizontalement le bord avant du panneau , lorsque celui-ci obture la fosse , alors que le bras inférieur , sensiblement vertical , de l'équerre prend appui contre le pène escamotable d'un verrou commandé à distance.According to a preferred characteristic of the invention, the means for locking the front edge of the panel consist of a bracket, the angle of which is articulated on a fixed axis, arranged transversely, at the upper part of the pit, near its front edge, the upper branch of the bracket being intended to horizontally support the front edge of the panel, when the latter closes the pit, while the substantially vertical lower arm of the bracket rests against the retractable bolt of a remotely controlled lock.

Suivant une autre caractéristique préférée de l'invention , l'escamotage du verrou est commandé à distance par des moyens électriques , sur le circuit desquels est , par ailleurs , intercalé un déclenchement instantané.According to another preferred characteristic of the invention, the retraction of the lock is remotely controlled by electrical means, on the circuit of which is, moreover, inserted an instantaneous release.

Suivant une autre caractéristique préférée de l'invention , le déclenchement instantané comprend un bouton interrupteur , du type dit " à coup de poing ".According to another preferred characteristic of the invention, the instantaneous triggering comprises a switch button, of the so-called "punch" type.

Suivant une autre caractéristique préférée de l'invention , le circuit de déclenchement instantané comprend au moins un interrupteur , qu'actionne une barrière disposée transversalement au-dessus de la chaussée , lorsque cette barrière est déformée ou brisée par un véhicule se proposant d'en forcer le passage.According to another preferred characteristic of the invention, the instantaneous tripping circuit comprises at least one switch, actuated by a barrier arranged transversely above the road, when this barrier is deformed or broken by a vehicle proposing to force the passage.

Le dessins annexé , donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif , permettra de mieux comprendre les caractéristiques de l'invention.The appended drawings, given by way of nonlimiting example, will allow a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention.

Figure 1 est une vue en coupe d'un dispositif selon l'invention , lorsque le panneau est à la position d'attente , assurant la continuité de la chaussée .Figure 1 is a sectional view of a device according to the invention, when the panel is in the standby position, ensuring the continuity of the roadway.

Figure 2 est une vue en plan correspondante.Figure 2 is a corresponding plan view.

Figure 3 correspond à la figure 1, après déclenchement du dispositif de sécurité .Figure 3 corresponds to Figure 1, after triggering of the safety device.

Le dispositif illustré sur les dessins est destiné à être placé en travers de la chaussée 1 d'une route pourvue d'une barrière relevable 2 , d'un type en lui-même connu . On se propose d'interdire à tout véhicule se déplaçant dans la direction indiquée par la flèche 3 , l'accès à la chaussée 1 , au-delà de la barrière relevable 2 .The device illustrated in the drawings is intended to be placed across the roadway 1 of a road provided with a lifting barrier 2, of a type in itself known. It is proposed to prohibit any vehicle traveling in the direction indicated by arrow 3, access to the roadway 1, beyond the lifting barrier 2.

On sait que le bras d'une barrière relevable est généralement réalisé en une matière peu résistante , qui se trouve facilement détruite lorsqu'un véhicule vient par inadvertance , la heurter. Autrement dit ,la barrière relevable 2 est un obstacle symbolique , destiné à informer les véhicules qu'ils doivent s'arrêter et en aucun cas , passer outre . Il est bien évident qu'une telle barrière 2 ne constitue pas un obstacle réel, susceptible d'arrêter la progression d'un véhicule piégé , voire d'un commando-suicide du genre de ceux qui organisent des attentats à l'explosif.We know that the arm of a lifting barrier is generally made of a weak material, which is easily destroyed when a vehicle inadvertently comes into contact with it. Other said, the liftable barrier 2 is a symbolic obstacle, intended to inform vehicles that they must stop and in no case pass beyond. It is obvious that such a barrier 2 does not constitute a real obstacle, capable of stopping the progression of a booby-trapped vehicle, or even of a suicide commando of the kind of those who organize bomb attacks.

Le dispositif selon l'invention comprend une fosse 4 , creusée transversalement dans la chaussée 1 , au-delà dela barrière relevable 2 . Le long du bord arrière de la fosse 4 est disposé un axe transversal supérieur 5 , sur lequel est articulé le bord arrière 6 d'un panneau basculant 7 . Le bord avant 8 du panneau 7 est maintenu au niveau de la chaussée 1 , lorsqu'il repose sur le bras supérieur sensiblement horizontal 9 d'une équerre 9, 10 , dont le bras inférieur , sensiblement vertical 10,est alors engagé derrière le pène escamotable 11 d' un verrou électrique 12 , placé au fond de la fosse 4 , dans la partie avant de celle-ci . L'équerre de verrouillage 9 , 10 , est articulée près de son sommet , sur un axe transversal 13 placé à la partie supérieure de la fosse 4 , près de son bord avant 14.The device according to the invention comprises a pit 4, dug transversely in the roadway 1, beyond the lifting barrier 2. Along the rear edge of the pit 4 is an upper transverse axis 5, on which the rear edge 6 of a tilting panel 7 is articulated. The front edge 8 of the panel 7 is maintained at the level of the roadway 1, when it rests on the substantially horizontal upper arm 9 of a square 9, 10, the substantially vertical lower arm 10 of which is then engaged behind the bolt retractable 11 of an electric lock 12, placed at the bottom of the pit 4, in the front part thereof. The locking bracket 9, 10 is articulated near its top, on a transverse axis 13 placed at the top of the pit 4, near its front edge 14.

Par ailleurs , la face inférieure du panneau basculant 7 , est préférablement équipée d'un chevalet 15 , susceptible de venir buter contre la paroi arrière verticale 16 de la fosse 4 , lorsque le panneau 7 tombe sous son propre poids ( figure 3 ). Dans ce cas , on voit que le panneau 7 est maintenu à une position oblique , ou son bord arrière 6 , prolongé par des piques 17, est orienté vers l'arrière , au-dessus du niveau de la chaussée 1.Furthermore, the underside of the tilting panel 7 is preferably equipped with a trestle 15, capable of abutting against the vertical rear wall 16 of the pit 4, when the panel 7 falls under its own weight (Figure 3). In this case, it can be seen that the panel 7 is held in an oblique position, or its rear edge 6, extended by spikes 17, is oriented towards the rear, above the level of the roadway 1.

On prévoit préférablement un couvre-joint 18 , disposé transversalement au-dessus du bord avant 14 de la fosse 4 , pour assurer la continuité avec le panneau 7 lorsque celui-ci est à la position d'attente des figures 1 et 2 , pour laquelle la circulation est autorisée sur la plaque 7 , verrouillée à l'horizontale.It is preferable to provide a joint cover 18, disposed transversely above the front edge 14 of the pit 4, to ensure continuity with the panel 7 when the latter is in the standby position of FIGS. 1 and 2, for which circulation is authorized on plate 7, locked horizontally.

Dans ce cas , les piques 17 sont escamotées , dans une creusure transversale 19 ,pourvue à cet effet dans la chaussée 1 , pour éviter qu'elles n'en dépassent.In this case, the spikes 17 are retracted, in a transverse recess 19, provided with this effect in pavement 1, to prevent them from exceeding it.

La commande permettant d'éclipser dans le verrou 12 le pène 1 (figure 3, flèche 20) est une commande électrique , sur les lignes 21 de laquelle sont préférablement intercalés :

  • un interrupteur commandé par un bouton du type dit coup de poing 22 et au moins un interrupteur 23, que déclenche automatiquement la barrière 2 , si elle vient à être forcée ou déformée , par un véhicule lancé à pleine vitesse .
The command allowing the bolt 1 to be eclipsed in the lock 12 (FIG. 3, arrow 20) is an electrical command, on the lines 21 of which are preferably inserted:
  • a switch controlled by a button of the so-called punch 22 type and at least one switch 23, automatically triggered by the barrier 2, if it is forced or deformed, by a vehicle launched at full speed.

Les circuits électriques 21 comprennent par ailleurs , de préférence ,une batterie électrique 24 , et son chargeur d'alimentation 25.The electric circuits 21 also preferably include an electric battery 24 and its power charger 25.

Le fonctionnement est le suivant:
   Tant que personne ne tente de forcer le passage , la barrière 2 n'actionne pas l'interrupteur 23 , et l'interrupteur à bouton coup de poing 22 n'est pas actionné par une quelconque sentinelle . Dans ces conditions , le panneau 7 reste à la position verrouillée illustrée sur les figures 1 et 2 , c'est-à-dire qu'il assure la continuité de la chaussée 1 , sur laquelle on peut circuler.The operation is as follows:
As long as no one is trying to force the passage, the barrier 2 does not actuate the switch 23, and the button switch punch 22 is not actuated by any sentry. Under these conditions, the panel 7 remains in the locked position illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, that is to say that it ensures the continuity of the roadway 1, on which one can circulate.

Si un véhicule arrive dans la direction indiquée par la flèche 3 , lancé à pleine vitesse , par exemple un camion-suicide chargé d'explosifs prévus pour commettre un attentat , deux cas peuvent se présenter :

  • ou bien un garde posté à proximité donne un coup de poing sur le bouton de l'interrupteur d'urgence 22 :
  • ou bien le camion arrache ou déforme la barrière 2 qui actionne l'interrupteur 23.
If a vehicle arrives in the direction indicated by arrow 3, launched at full speed, for example a suicide truck loaded with explosives intended to carry out an attack, two cases can arise:
  • or a guard posted nearby gives a punch on the button of the emergency switch 22:
  • or else the truck tears off or deforms the barrier 2 which actuates the switch 23.

Dans un cas comme dans l'autre, le pène 11 de chaque verrou 12 se trouve escamoté dans la direction de la flèche 20 ( figure 3) , si bien que, sous son poids , le panneau 7 bascule autour de son axe 5 (flèche 26) , étant donné que l'équerre 9 , l0 ,libérée , a elle-même basculé' autour de son axe 13 , comme indiqué par la flèche 27.In one case as in the other, the bolt 11 of each latch 12 is retracted in the direction of the arrow 20 (FIG. 3), so that, under its weight, the panel 7 rocks around its axis 5 (arrow 26), since the square 9, 10, released, has itself tilted 'around its axis 13, as indicated by arrow 27.

Cette chute du panneau 7 a deux effets , à savoir :

  • d'une part , les piques 17 émergent au-dessus de la chaussée 11 , dirigées vers l'arrière : elles crèvent aussitôt les pneumatiques du véhicule suicide , qu'elles arrêtent éventuellement ;
  • d'autre part , si le véhicule suicide arrache les piques 17 , et poursuit sa course , alors ses roues avant tombent dans la fosse 4 , démasquée par l'ouverture du panneau 7 . Dans ce cas , l'arrêt du véhicule est nécessairement immédiat ,quelle que soit la brutalité du choc.
This fall of the panel 7 has two effects, namely:
  • on the one hand, the spikes 17 emerge above the roadway 11, directed towards the rear: they immediately burst the tires of the suicide vehicle, which they eventually stop;
  • on the other hand, if the suicide vehicle tears off the spikes 17, and continues its course, then its front wheels fall into the pit 4, unmasked by the opening of the panel 7. In this case, stopping the vehicle is necessarily immediate, regardless of the brutality of the impact.

Après un tel fonctionnement , si le dispositif est encore en état de fonctionner , notamment s'il n'a pas été détruit par une explosion , son réarmement est extrêmement facile . Il suffit en effet de relever le panneau 7 , par tout moyen connu ( manuel ou motorisé) , cependant que l'équerre 9 , 10 est maintenue escamotée dans la direction de la flèche 27 . Un fois le panneau 7 relevé, on ramène l'équerre 9 , 10 , en sens inverse de la flèche 27 ,pour replacer le bas de son bras vertical 10 devant le pène 11 ( figure 1) .L'appareil est à nouveau prêt à fonctionner.After such an operation, if the device is still in working order, in particular if it has not been destroyed by an explosion, its resetting is extremely easy. It suffices to raise the panel 7, by any known means (manual or motorized), while the bracket 9, 10 is kept retracted in the direction of the arrow 27. Once the panel 7 has been raised, the bracket 9, 10 is brought back, in the opposite direction to the arrow 27, in order to replace the bottom of its vertical arm 10 in front of the bolt 11 (FIG. 1). The apparatus is again ready for function.
