Abstract

The road bollard, especially for indicating the presence of a slip road, pedestrian island or lane separation, consists of a hollow plastics post (10) with reflective surfaces (16), and a separate base (22) which fixes to thee road e.g. by an anchor bolt (32). The post and base have matching cylindrical surfaces which fit together, with connecting elements (36) fixing them together, with either the post or connecting elements made so that they shear under a given impact. The post is preferably prismatic in shape so that it will not roll on its own, while the base has its own reflective surface so that it can be employed without the post.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet la réalisa­tion d'une balise routière, du type destiné à signaler aux conducteurs des véhicules la présence d'un relief, d'un îlot piétonnier, d'un séparateur de chaussées etc..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.

Il se produit fréquemment des accidents, spécia­lement nocturnes, dans lesquels un véhicule heurte une balise en occasionnant de graves dommages au véhicule au­tant qu'aux personnes.There are frequent accidents, especially at night, in which a vehicle hits a beacon, causing serious damage to the vehicle as well as to people.

Les dommages sont dûs au fait que les balises existantes, qui sont le plus souvent métalliques, ne cè­dent pas sous le choc.The damage is due to the fact that the existing beacons, which are most often made of metal, do not fail under impact.

Le but de l'invention est de réaliser une bali­se routière qui soit relativement inoffensive, grâce au fait qu'elle peut céder et s'arracher sous l'effet d'un choc, qui puisse être remplacée à peu de frais mais qui ne puisse pas être facilement détachée du sol, par exem­ple sous la poussée exercée par les personnes, et qui puisse difficilement être enlevée par vandalisme.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.

Selon l'invention, ce but est atteint par une balise routière caractérisée essentiellement en ce qu'elle comprend une balise proprement dite, constituée par un élément creux en forme de colonne, en matière plastique, muni de surfaces catadioptriques et/ou réflé­chissantes périphériques, et une base distincte de l'élé­ment en forme de colonne et munie de moyens d'ancrage au sol, en ce que l'élément en forme de colonne et la base sont munis de parties de jonction respectives, qui sont maintenues assemblées par des moyens d'assemblage, et en ce que la partie de jonction appartenant à l'élément en forme de colonne et/ou les moyens d'assem­blage peuvent se briser sous l'effet d'un choc d'une in­tensité prédéterminée appliqué par un véhicule qui heur­te la balise.According to the invention, this object is achieved by 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.

Les caractéristiques et avantages de l'inven­tion apparaîtront à la lecture détaillée qui va suivre, faite en référence aux dessins annexés qui en représen­ tent une forme préférée de réalisation, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif.The characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the following details, made with reference to the accompanying drawings which show try a preferred embodiment, given by way of nonlimiting example.

Comme on le voit en se reportant aux figures 1, 2 et 3, une balise routière comprend une balise propre­ment dite, désignée dans son ensemble par 10. La balise 10 est constituée par un élément creux, prismatique, en forme de colonne, en matière plastique. Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, l'élément prismatique en forme de colonne 10 est à base triangulaire équilatérale. La forme prismatique, quelle qu'elle soit, de l'élément 10 est avantageuse pour empêcher cet élément de rouler sur lui-même et de créer un autre danger, après avoir été ar­raché de la façon que l'on verra dans la suite.As can be seen with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, 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. In the embodiment shown, 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.

La matière plastique de l'élément en forme de colonne 10 est une matière résistante au choc, de préfé­rence colorée dans la masse, par exemple en jaune, qui peut aussi présenter des bandes d'une couleur contrastan­te (non représentées) et qui est de préférence dotée en elle-même de caractéristiques réfléchissantes. Dans ce cas, il n'est plus nécessaire de prévoir d'éclairage in­térieur de la balise, ce qui constitue aussi d'évidents avantages, pour la sécurité des usagers de la route.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.

L'élément 10 en forme de colonne est fermé à sa partie supérieure par un fond 12 venu de matière, par exemple pyramidal, notamment pour empêcher la pénétra­tion de la pluie, et également éviter que la colonne ne soit utilisée comme poubelle.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.

Les faces latérales 14 de l'élément 12 sont mu­nies de niches rectangulaires 16 qui logent des plaquet­tes catadioptriques 18. Dans les zones comprises entre les niches 16, l'élément 10 pourrait aussi être entouré de bandes auto-adhésives réfléchissantes ou catadioptriques (non représentées).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 ).

L'extrémité inférieure de l'élément 10 en forme de colonne présente des bosses en forme de secteurs 20 qui définissent une jupe cylindrique s'ouvrant vers le bas.The lower end of the column-shaped element 10 has bumps in the form of sectors 20 which define a cylindrical skirt opening downwards.

La balise comprend une base distincte de l'élé­ment 10 en forme de colonne. Cette base, désignée dans son ensemble par 22, est représentée clairement sur les figures 4, 5 et 6.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.

La base 22 est de préférence composée d'un élé­ment en tôle présentant la forme d'un godet renversé, et qui comprend une jupe cylindrique 24, un fond supérieur 26 et une bride périphérique 28. Le fond 26 présente une partie centrale déprimée dans laquelle est pratiqué un trou 30. Ainsi qu'on peut l'observer sur la figure 2, le trou 30 sert pour le passage de la tige d'un tire-fond 32, an­cré dans le sol et dont la tête bute contre la face supé­rieure de la partie déprimée du fond 26, autour du trou 30. De cette façon, la base 22 peut être fixée au sol de façon permanente.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. As can be seen in FIG. 2, 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.

Sur la face interne de la jupe 24, sont soudés ou fixés d'une autre façon des écrous 34 accessibles à travers des trous correspondants de la jupe.On the inner face of the skirt 24 are welded or otherwise fixed nuts 34 accessible through corresponding holes in the skirt.

Ainsi qu'on peut l'observer sur la figure 2, dans l'état monté, la jupe 20 de l'élément 10 en forme de colonne est emboîtée autour de la jupe 24 de la base 22. Les deux jupes 20 et 24 ainsi emboîtées l'une dans l'autre sont maintenues assemblées par des moyens d'as­semblage constitués par des vis 86. Des rondelles 37 revê­tues d'une matière réfléchissante sont de préférence as­sociées aux têtes des vis 36.As can be seen in FIG. 2, in the assembled state, 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.

La jupe inférieure 20 de l'élément 10 en forme de colonne est dimensionnée de manière à pouvoir se dé­chirer, au niveau des vis 36, sous l'effet d'un choc d'une intensité prédéterminée appliqué par un véhicule qui heurte la balise. Cette situation est illustrée sur la figure 6, sur laquelle les éléments identiques sont désignés par les mêmes numéros de référence. Toutefois, la jupe 20 est suffisamment robuste pour ne pas se déchi­rer lorsque la balise est soumise à une poussée latérale telle que celle qu'une ou plusieurs personnes peut ou peuvent exercer.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.

Ainsi qu'on peut l'observer sur la figure 6, la jupe 20 a été déchirée au niveau des trous de passage des vis 36.As can be seen in FIG. 6, the skirt 20 has been torn at the level of the holes for the passage of the screws 36.

Après que l'élément 10 en forme de colonne a été arraché, la base 22 est restée au sol. Dans ces con­ditions, elle pourrait à son tour constituer un danger. Pour atténuer ou annuler ce danger, la jupe 24 est munie extérieurement d'une ou plusieurs surfaces catadioptri­ques et/ou réfléchissantes. Dans le cas représenté, ces surfaces sont constituées par une bande auto-adhésive 38.After the column-shaped element 10 was torn off, the base 22 remained on the ground. Under these conditions, it could in turn constitute a danger. To mitigate or cancel this danger, 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.

Dans l'état découvert de la figure 6, le fond supérieur 26 de la base 22 empêche que cette base ne de­vienne à son tour un réceptacle à déchets ou ne se rem­plisse d'eau de pluie.In the uncovered state of FIG. 6, the upper bottom 26 of the base 22 prevents this base in turn from becoming a waste receptacle or filling up with rainwater.

La réalisation représentée n'est pas la seule possible dans le domaine de l'invention. C'est ainsi que les parties de jonction entre l'élément 10 en forme de colonne et la base 22 pourraient être différentes de deux jupes emboîtées l'une dans l'autre, comme celles indiquées en 20 et 24, pourvu que ces parties de jonc­ tion soient maintenues assemblées par des moyens d'assem­blage fragiles. De même, les moyens d'assemblage fragi­les pourraient être constitués par les vis elles-mêmes , telles que les vis 36, ou par des organes analogues, qui présentent une amorce de rupture. Dans ce cas, l'élément en forme de colonne 10, s'il n'est pas endommagé d'une au­tre façon, pourrait être récupéré.The embodiment shown is not the only possible one in the field of the invention. Thus 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. Likewise, 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.

D'autre part, l'élément 10 en forme de colonne représenté pourra être récupéré dans certains cas, au moins provisoirement, si les déchirures sont limitées, comme dans le cas de la figure 6. Dans ce cas, l'élément 10 pourrait être remis en place après perçage de nou­veaux trous de passage des vis 36 dans les zones intac­tes de la jupe 20.On the other hand, 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.
