Description

La présente invention a pour objet un ensemble de balisage comportant des éléments principaux présentant au moins deux parties en saillie vers l'extérieur, chacune desdites parties étant située à l'une des extrémités de l'élément, et des éléments de liaison présentant au moins deux parties alvéolaires situées de part et d'autre de l'élément et destinés à coopérer respectivement avec des parties en saillie de deux éléments principaux voisins, de façon à les solidariser, des moyens de blocage étant prévus pour empêcher la désolidarisation de l'ensemble, les éléments principaux et les éléments de liaison étant creux et les éléments principaux comportant au moins un pont inférieur destiné à l'écoulement transversal des eaux de ruissellement, les éléments constitutifs dudit pont étant agencés de façon à réaliser un raidisseur transversal de l'élément principal.The present invention relates to a marking assembly comprising main elements having at least two parts projecting outwards, each of said parts being located at one end of the element, and connecting elements having at least two cellular parts located on either side of the element and intended to cooperate respectively with projecting parts of two neighboring main elements, so as to join them together, blocking means being provided to prevent the separation of the assembly , the main elements and the connecting elements being hollow and the main elements comprising at least one lower bridge intended for the transverse flow of runoff water, the constituent elements of said bridge being arranged so as to produce a transverse stiffener of the element main.

Un tel emsemble de balisage est destiné à être utilisé, par exemple, comme balisage de protection de chantiers, comme séparateur entre deux voies de circulation ou comme îlot de circulation.Such a beaconing assembly is intended to be used, for example, as construction site protection beaconing, as a separator between two traffic lanes or as a traffic island.

Un ensemble de balisage de ce genre est décrit dans le brevet US No. 4.681.302. Plus précisément, ce brevet décrit un dispositif capable de constituer une barrière permettant de dissiper l'énergie cinétique lors de l'impact d'un véhicule en mouvement. Ce dispositif est constitué par un ensemble de récipients destinés à être remplis d'eau et dont les parois latérales sont en un matériau déformable élastiquement.A set of markup of this kind is described in US Patent No. 4,681,302. More specifically, this patent describes a device capable of constituting a barrier making it possible to dissipate kinetic energy during the impact of a moving vehicle. This device consists of a set of containers intended to be filled with water and the side walls of which are made of an elastically deformable material.

Le but de l'invention est de permettre de réduire l'épaisseur des parois des éléments formant récipient, en abaissant ainsi leur prix et leur poids à vide, tout en conservant une bonne rigidité latérale, et, en même temps, de réaliser les éléments principaux de l'ensemble sous une forme facilitant le passage transversal des eaux de ruissellement.The object of the invention is to make it possible to reduce the thickness of the walls of the container-forming elements, thereby lowering their price and their unladen weight, while retaining good lateral rigidity, and, at the same time, making the elements principal of the set in a form facilitating the transverse passage of runoff water.

A cet effet, l'ensemble de balisage selon l'invention présente les caractéristiques spécifiées dans la revendication 1. Des caractéristiques correspondant à des formes d'exécution particulières de l'ensemble de balisage sont spécifiées dans les revendications subordonnées à la revendication 1.To this end, the markup assembly according to the invention has the characteristics specified in claim 1. Characteristics corresponding to particular embodiments of the markup assembly are specified in the claims subordinate to claim 1.

Ainsi qu'il ressortira de la description qui va suivre, l'ensemble de balisage selon l'invention, composé d'éléments modulaires, présente l'avantage d'être très léger et facile à manipuler par un homme seul. Il permet d'assurer un balisage continu et esthétique.As will become apparent from the following description, the marking assembly according to the invention, composed of modular elements, has the advantage of being very light and easy to handle by a single man. It ensures continuous and aesthetic markup.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques favorables de l'ensemble de balisage selon l'invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description de différentes formes d'exécution, donnée ci-après, à titre d'exemple, en se référant au dessin annexé dans lequel :

la fig. 1
représente un exemple de réalisation d'un élément principal et d'un élément de liaison de l'ensemble de balisage,
la fig. 2
est une coupe horizontale de l'élément de liaison représenté à la figure 1, et
la fig. 3
est une coupe horizontale d'une variante d'exécution de l'élément de liaison.
Other advantages and favorable characteristics of the marking assembly according to the invention will emerge more clearly from the description of different embodiments, given below, by way of example, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
fig. 1
represents an exemplary embodiment of a main element and of a connecting element of the markup assembly,
fig. 2
is a horizontal section of the connecting element shown in FIG. 1, and
fig. 3
is a horizontal section of an alternative embodiment of the connecting element.

Comme représenté à la figure 1, l'ensemble de balisage comprend des éléments principaux 1 et des éléments de liaison 2 destinés à solidariser les éléments principaux entre eux et à assurer la continuité de la forme de l'ensemble. Les éléments principaux et des éléments de liaison sont creux.As shown in Figure 1, the markup assembly includes main elements 1 and connecting elements 2 intended to secure the main elements together and to ensure the continuity of the shape of the assembly. The main elements and connecting elements are hollow.

Les éléments principaux sont de forme allongée. Ils comportent une partie inférieure de base transversalement plus large que leur partie supérieure et une partie médiane dont la largeur varie entre celle de la partie inférieure et celle de la partie supérieure. Ils sont limités à chacune de leurs extrémités longitudinales par des faces planes verticales 16, 16′, chacune desdites faces comportant un élément d'accrochage en saillie 3, 3′ de forme générale cylindrique, disposé verticalement et respectivement solidaire de chacune des faces d'extrémité 16, 16′ par l'intermédiaire de parties de liaison 17, 17′. Un pont inférieur 12, destiné à l'écoulement transversal des eaux de ruissellement, est situé dans la partie inférieure de l'élément. Ce pont, qui est de préférence situé dans la partie médiane de l'élément, constitue par ses parois latérales 13 et sa paroi supérieure un raidisseur transversal de l'élément principal.The main elements are elongated. They comprise a lower base part transversely wider than their upper part and a middle part whose width varies between that of the lower part and that of the upper part. They are limited to each of their longitudinal ends by vertical flat faces 16, 16 ′, each of said faces comprising a projecting hooking element 3, 3 ′ of generally cylindrical shape, arranged vertically and respectively integral with each of the faces of end 16, 16 ′ by means of connecting parts 17, 17 ′. A lower bridge 12, intended for the transverse flow of runoff water, is located in the lower part of the element. This bridge, which is preferably located in the middle part of the element, constitutes by its side walls 13 and its upper wall a transverse stiffener of the main element.

La face supérieure des éléments principaux comporte une rainure longitudinale 15 sur toute la longueur de l'élément. Une ouverture 14 est également prévue dans la partie supérieure de l'élément. Cette ouverture qui peut être munie d'un dispositif de fermeture est destinée au lestage des éléments, par exemple avec de l'eau, du sable, ou tout autre produit lestant.The upper face of the main elements has a longitudinal groove 15 over the entire length of the element. An opening 14 is also provided in the upper part of the element. This opening which can be provided with a closing device is intended for ballasting the elements, for example with water, sand, or any other ballasting product.

Les éléments de liaison 2 sont de hauteur inférieure à celle des éléments principaux. Ils comportent deux parties alvéolaires 4, 4′ de forme générale cylindrique et situées de part et d'autre de l'élément sur toute la hauteur de l'élément. Ces parties alvéolaires débouchent également sur les faces latérales de l'élément de liaison par une ouverture verticale constituée entre des rebords 5, 5′ des parties alvéolaires de façon à constituer une fente de largeur sensiblement supérieure à l'épaisseur latérale des parties de liaison 17, 17′ reliant les parties d'accrochage 3, 3′ à l'élément principal 1.The connecting elements 2 are of a height less than that of the main elements. They have two parts honeycombs 4, 4 ′ of generally cylindrical shape and located on either side of the element over the entire height of the element. These honeycomb parts also open onto the lateral faces of the connecting element by a vertical opening formed between flanges 5, 5 ′ of the honeycomb parts so as to constitute a slot of width substantially greater than the lateral thickness of the connecting parts 17 , 17 ′ connecting the attachment parts 3, 3 ′ to the main element 1.

La solidarisation de deux éléments principaux voisins est réalisée par l'introduction par coulissement vertical d'un élément de liaison entre deux éléments principaux, les parties alvéolaires 4, 4′ des éléments de liaison coulissant respectivement autour des éléments d'accrochage 3, 3′ des deux éléments principaux voisins.The joining of two neighboring main elements is achieved by the introduction by vertical sliding of a connecting element between two main elements, the cellular parts 4, 4 ′ of the connecting elements sliding respectively around the hooking elements 3, 3 ′ of the two main neighboring elements.

Des organes de retenue faisant partie intégrante des éléments principaux, disposés par exemple sur la partie inférieure des faces d'extrémités 16, 16′ des éléments principaux ou sur la partie inférieure des éléments d'accrochage 3, 3′ permettent de maintenir les éléments de liaison à une certaine distance du sol lorsqu'ils ont été mis en place, de façon à permettre le passage des eaux de ruissellement. Selon une variante, les organes de retenue sont disposés sur les éléments de liaison, par exemple à leur surface inférieure ou à leur surface supérieure.Retaining members forming an integral part of the main elements, arranged for example on the lower part of the end faces 16, 16 ′ of the main elements or on the lower part of the hooking elements 3, 3 ′ make it possible to maintain the elements of connection at a certain distance from the ground when they have been installed, so as to allow the passage of runoff water. According to a variant, the retaining members are arranged on the connecting elements, for example at their lower surface or at their upper surface.

La présence des éléments de liaison décrits ci-dessus permet de réaliser la solidarisation de l'ensemble et le blocage des éléments principaux entre eux, grâce à la conformation des parties de bord 5, 5′ des éléments de liaison, qui empêchent tout déplacement latéral relatif des éléments principaux.The presence of the connecting elements described above makes it possible to secure the assembly and the blocking of the main elements between them, thanks to the conformation of the edge parts 5, 5 ′ of the connecting elements, which prevent any lateral movement. relative of the main elements.

Afin d'augmenter la résistance de l'ensemble et d'empêcher toute désolidarisation de l'ensemble en cas de choc, même violent, deux types d'organes de blocage complémentaires sont prévus, qui peuvent être utilisés conjointement ou séparément. Il s'agit d'une part de broches 6 à double tige 7, 7′, en matière plastique, en métal ou en toute autre matière résistante, les tiges 7, 7′ étant destinées à être introduites dans des tous 11, 11′ prévus dans la partie centrale des parties d'accrochage 3, 3′ des éléments principaux. D'autre part, des tiges ou câbles peuvent être disposés dans la rainure 15 des éléments principaux, leur longueur pouvant être un multiple de la somme des longueurs d'un élément principal et d'un élément de liaison. Ces tiges ou câbles sont munis d'organes d'accrochage à leurs extrémités, comme par exemple respectivement une tige recourbée 9 et un oeillet 10. Ces organes peuvent être en métal, en matière plastique ou en toute autre matière résistante.In order to increase the resistance of the assembly and to prevent any separation of the assembly in the event of an impact, even a violent one, two types of complementary locking members are provided, which can be used jointly or separately. On the one hand, pins 6 with double rod 7, 7 ′, made of plastic, metal or any other resistant material, the rods 7, 7 ′ being intended to be introduced into all 11, 11 ′ provided in the central part of the attachment parts 3, 3 ′ of the main elements. On the other hand, rods or cables can be arranged in the groove 15 of the main elements, their length possibly being a multiple of the sum of the lengths of a main element and a connecting element. These rods or cables are provided with hooking members at their ends, such as for example a curved rod 9 and an eyelet 10. These members can be made of metal, plastic or any other resistant material.

Comme représenté à la figure 2, les parties latérales des éléments de liaison comportent un angle de dépouille et des bords arrondis leur permettant un ajustement angulaire 18 autour des éléments d'accrochage 3, 3′ des éléments principaux. Cet ajustement angulaire permet la réalisation de balisage en courbe et notamment la réalisation de ronds-points pouvant avoir par exemple des diamètres de l'ordre de 6 mètres. Bien entendu, ces caractéristiques ne sont nullement limitatives, la forme des éléments pouvant être adaptée selon les circonstances, notamment pour la réalisation d'îlots.As shown in Figure 2, the lateral parts of the connecting elements have a clearance angle and rounded edges allowing them an angular adjustment 18 around the hooking elements 3, 3 ′ of the main elements. This angular adjustment allows the realization of beaconing in curve and in particular the realization of roundabouts which can have for example diameters of the order of 6 meters. Of course, these characteristics are in no way limiting, the shape of the elements being able to be adapted according to the circumstances, in particular for the production of islands.

Comme les éléments principaux, les éléments de liaison peuvent être agencés de façon à être lestés. Une ouverture doit dans ce cas être prévue, de préférence dans la partie supérieure de l'élément. Cette ouverture peut être munie d'un dispositif de fermeture.Like the main elements, the connecting elements can be arranged so as to be ballasted. An opening must in this case be provided, preferably in the upper part of the element. This opening can be provided with a closing device.

Selon une variante, représentée à la figure 3, les éléments de liaison comportent deux parties longitudinalement inclinées d'un angle 19 l'une par rapport à l'autre, de façon à permettre la réalisation de courbes ou îlots de plus petits rayons.According to a variant, shown in Figure 3, the connecting elements comprise two parts longitudinally inclined at an angle 19 relative to each other, so as to allow the production of curves or islands of smaller radii.

Les éléments principaux et/ou les éléments de liaison peuvent être pourvus de patins anti-glissement, destinés à augmenter leur adhérence au sol.The main elements and / or the connecting elements can be provided with anti-slip pads, intended to increase their grip on the ground.

Les éléments principaux et les éléments de liaison peuvent être réalisés, par exemple, en polyéthylène, en PVC, ou toute matière plastique rotomoulée ou injectée, en un mélange de fibres de verre et de résine, en aluminium ou en toute autre matière. Dans une version d'exécution réalisée en matière plastique, la longueur unitaire des éléments principaux est de 1 mètre, l'épaisseur des parois étant de 7 millimètres et le poids d'un élément étant de 10 kilos. Bien entendu, toutes autres dimensions peuvent être réalisées, selon les capacités des fabricants et l'emploi auquel est destiné l'ensemble de balisage.The main elements and the connecting elements can be made, for example, of polyethylene, PVC, or any rotomolded or injected plastic material, a mixture of glass fibers and resin, aluminum or any other material. In an execution version made of plastic, the unit length of the main elements is 1 meter, the thickness of the walls being 7 millimeters and the weight of an element being 10 kilos. Of course, all other dimensions can be achieved, depending on the capabilities of the manufacturers and the use for which the marking assembly is intended.

Dans une version simplifiée de l'ensemble, les éléments principaux et les éléments de liaison ne peuvent pas être lestés. Ils ne comportent donc pas d'ouverture à cet effet. De même, la rainure longitudinale 15 sur les éléments principaux peut ne pas exister.In a simplified version of the assembly, the main elements and the connecting elements cannot be ballasted. They therefore have no opening for this purpose. Likewise, the longitudinal groove 15 on the main elements may not exist.

Les éléments de l'ensemble peuvent être réalisés ou peints en plusieurs couleurs. Les éléments principaux peuvent par exemple être de couleur rouge et les éléments de liaison de couleur blanche. On peut aussi prévoir, par exemple, d'alterner la couleur des éléments principaux. Les éléments de l'ensemble peuvent être équipés de bandes réfléchissantes ou autres produits similaires destinés à la sécurité de nuit.The elements of the set can be made or painted in several colors. The main elements can for example be red and the connecting elements white. It is also possible, for example, to alternate the color of the main elements. The elements of the assembly can be fitted with reflective tapes or other similar products intended for night security.

Selon un autre mode d'exécution de l'ensemble, non représenté, les éléments d'accrochage 3, 3′ des éléments principaux et les parties alvéolaires 4, 4′ des éléments de liaison peuvent être disposés horizontalement, la mise en place des éléments de liaison s'effectuant latéralement.According to another embodiment of the assembly, not shown, the attachment elements 3, 3 ′ of the main elements and the cellular parts 4, 4 ′ of the connecting elements can be arranged horizontally, the positioning of the elements of connection taking place laterally.
