Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the production of a road beacon, of the type intended to signal to vehicle drivers the presence of a relief, a pedestrian island, a road separator, etc.
  • the damage is due to the fact that the existing beacons, which are most often made of metal, do not fail under impact.
  • the object of the invention is to produce a road beacon which is relatively harmless, thanks to the fact that it can give way and tear off under the effect of a shock, which can be replaced inexpensively but which cannot not be easily detached from the ground, for example under the pressure exerted by people, and which can hardly be removed by vandalism.
  • a road beacon essentially characterized in that it comprises a beacon proper, constituted by a hollow element in the form of a column, of plastic material, provided with peripheral retro-reflecting and / or reflecting surfaces, and a base separate from the column-shaped element and provided with anchoring means to the ground, in that the column-shaped element and the base are provided with respective joining parts, which are held together by means assembly, and in that the junction part belonging to the column-shaped element and / or the assembly means can break under the effect of a shock of a predetermined intensity applied by a vehicle which hits the tag.
  • a road beacon comprises a beacon proper, generally designated by 10.
  • the beacon 10 is constituted by a hollow, prismatic, column-shaped element, made of material plastic.
  • the prismatic element in the form of a column 10 has an equilateral triangular base.
  • the prismatic shape, whatever it is, of the element 10 is advantageous in preventing this element from rolling over on itself and creating another danger, after having been torn off in the manner that will be seen below.
  • the plastic of the column-shaped element 10 is an impact-resistant material, preferably colored in the mass, for example in yellow, which may also have bands of a contrasting color (not shown) and which is of preferably with reflective characteristics in itself. In this case, it is no longer necessary to provide interior lighting for the beacon, which also constitutes obvious advantages for the safety of road users.
  • the element 10 in the form of a column is closed at its upper part by a bottom 12 made of material, for example pyramidal, in particular to prevent the penetration of rain, and also to prevent the column from being used as a bin.
  • the lateral faces 14 of the element 12 are provided with rectangular recesses 16 which house retro-reflecting plates 18. In the areas between the recesses 16, the element 10 could also be surrounded by self-adhesive reflective or retro-reflecting strips (not shown ).
  • the lower end of the column-shaped element 10 has bumps in the form of sectors 20 which define a cylindrical skirt opening downwards.
  • the tag includes a separate base from the element 10 in the form of a column. This base, designated as a whole by 22, is clearly represented in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6.
  • the base 22 is preferably composed of a sheet metal element having the shape of an inverted bucket, and which comprises a cylindrical skirt 24, an upper bottom 26 and a peripheral flange 28.
  • the bottom 26 has a depressed central part in which a hole 30 is made.
  • the hole 30 is used for the passage of the rod of a lag screw 32, anchored in the ground and the head of which abuts against the upper face. from the depressed part of the bottom 26, around the hole 30. In this way, the base 22 can be fixed to the ground permanently.
  • the skirt 20 of the column-shaped element 10 is fitted around the skirt 24 of the base 22.
  • the two skirts 20 and 24 thus one nested in the other are held together by assembly means constituted by screws 86.
  • Washers 37 coated with a reflective material are preferably associated with the heads of the screws 36.
  • the lower skirt 20 of the column-shaped element 10 is dimensioned so as to be able to tear, at the level of the screws 36, under the effect of an impact of a predetermined intensity applied by a vehicle which strikes the beacon. This situation is illustrated in FIG. 6, in which the identical elements are designated by the same reference numbers. However, the skirt 20 is robust enough not to tear when the tag is subjected to a lateral thrust such as that which one or more people can or can exert.
  • the skirt 20 has been torn at the level of the holes for the passage of the screws 36.
  • the skirt 24 is provided externally with one or more catadioptric and / or reflective surfaces. In the case shown, these surfaces consist of a self-adhesive strip 38.
  • the upper bottom 26 of the base 22 prevents this base in turn from becoming a waste receptacle or filling up with rainwater.
  • the embodiment shown is not the only possible one in the field of the invention.
  • the parts of junction between the element 10 in the form of a column and the base 22 could be different from two skirts fitted one inside the other, like those indicated in 20 and 24, provided that these parts of rush tion are kept assembled by fragile assembly means.
  • the fragile assembly means could be constituted by the screws themselves, such as the screws 36, or by similar members, which have a breaking point. In this case, the columnar element 10, if not otherwise damaged, could be recovered.
  • the element 10 in the form of a column represented can be recovered in certain cases, at least temporarily, if the tears are limited, as in the case of FIG. 6. In this case, the element 10 could be replaced after drilling new screw holes 36 in the intact areas of the skirt 20.
