Abstract

The safety device for pedestrian crossings is composed of two identical elements (1) on either side of the roadway and each formed by a column (2) which is suitable for arranging a signalling tape (4) mounted in an autoretractable manner and which supports, advantageously at a height of 2 to 10 metres, a box (3) for guiding the said tape. The two tapes (4), drawn across the roadway, each extend, as a result of the height arrangement of their guide boxes (3), in a descending line, the pair of tapes thus appearing to motorists as a signalling cross which is visible from a distance. An operating handle (5) is mounted at the free end of each tape (4) by means of removable safety assemblies. A guide means provided on the lower part of the column (2) enables the tape (4) to be returned, along the pavement, so as to block the passage of pedestrians wishing to cross. A box (3) may be surmounted by an animated device, e.g. in the form of a human, to attract the attention of motorists. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine de la sécurité routière, en particulier dans les aggloméra­tions, notamment au niveau des passages pour piétons et a pour objet un dispositif de signalisation de barrage d'une voie de circulation pour véhicules automobiles et d'un passage pour piétons.The present invention relates to the field of road safety, in particular in built-up areas, in particular at the level of pedestrian crossings and has for its object a device for signaling the blocking of a traffic lane for motor vehicles and a pedestrian crossing .

Les passages pour piétons sont généralement re­lativement mal perçus par les conducteurs de véhicules automobiles et, de ce fait, peu respectés, ce qui entraî­ne un risque important d'accidents pour les utilisateurs de ces passages.Pedestrian crossings are generally relatively poorly perceived by drivers of motor vehicles and, as a result, poorly respected, which leads to a significant risk of accidents for the users of these crossings.

A cet effet, il a été proposé de signaler ces passages par un ou plusieurs utilisateurs spécialement formés et munis chacun d'une palette pourvue d'un élément réfléchissant, ces utilisateurs se plaçant de part et d'autre du passage, en mettant les palettes bien en évi­dence. Ce procédé de signalisation connu présente, cepen­dant, l'inconvénient, bien qu'il contribue à une respon­sabilisation accrue des utilisateurs des passages, de placer les utilisateurs des palettes dans une position dangereuse au milieu de la circulation, avec des risques considérables d'exposition à un choc par un véhicule.To this end, it has been proposed to signal these passages by one or more specially trained users, each provided with a pallet provided with a reflecting element, these users placing themselves on either side of the passage, putting the pallets prominently. This known signaling method has, however, the disadvantage, although it contributes to increased responsibility of the users of the passages, of placing the users of the pallets in a dangerous position in the middle of the traffic, with considerable risks of exposure. shock from a vehicle.

La présente invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients.The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.

Elle a, en effet, pour objet un dispositif de signalisation de barrage d'une voie de circulation pour véhicules automobiles et d'un passage pour piétons carac­térisé en ce qu'il est essentiellement constitué par deux éléments identiques disposés de part et d'autre de la voie de circulation et du passage à protéger et formés chacun par un fût de support d'un caisson de guidage d'un ruban de signalisation muni à son extrémité libre d'une poignée de manoeuvre, la mise en oeuvre des rubans des éléments réalisant une superposition visuelle en forme de croix.It relates, in fact, to a device for signaling the blocking of a traffic lane for motor vehicles and a pedestrian crossing, characterized in that it is essentially constituted by two identical elements arranged on either side. of the traffic lane and passage to be protected and each formed by a support drum for a guide box of a signaling tape provided at its free end with an operating handle, the implementation of the elements ribbons providing a visual superposition in the form of a cross.

L'invention sera mieux comprise, grâce à la description ci-après, qui se rapporte à un mode de réali­sation préféré, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, et expliqué avec référence aux dessins schématiques annexés, dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en élévation latérale en coupe d'un élément du dispositif conforme à l'inven­tion ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue partielle en coupe, à plus grande échelle, représentant la partie inférieure du fût de l'élément suivant la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue partielle en coupe d'une pièce de renvoi du ruban à l'horizontale ;
  • la figure 4 est une vue analogue à celle de la figure 3 d'une variante de réalisation de la pièce de renvoi, et
  • la figure 5 est une vue en élévation latérale de la poignée de manoeuvre.
The invention will be better understood from the following description, which relates to a preferred embodiment, given by way of nonlimiting example, and explained with reference to the appended schematic drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a side elevational view in section of an element of the device according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a partial sectional view, on a larger scale, showing the lower part of the barrel of the element according to Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a partial sectional view of a reference piece of the ribbon horizontally;
  • FIG. 4 is a view similar to that of FIG. 3 of an alternative embodiment of the deflection piece, and
  • Figure 5 is a side elevational view of the operating handle.

Conformément à l'invention, et comme le montre plus particulièrement, à titre d'exemple, la figure 1 des dessins annexés, le dispositif de signalisation de barra­ge d'une voie de circulation pour véhicules automobiles et d'un passage pour piétons est essentiellement consti­tué par deux éléments identiques 1 disposés de part et d'autre de la voie de circulation et du passage à proté­ger et formés chacun par un fût 2 de support d'un caisson 3 de guidage d'un ruban de signalisation 4 muni à son ex­trémité libre d'une poignée de manoeuvre 5, la mise en oeuvre des rubans 4 des éléments 1 réalisant une superpo­sition visuelle en forme de croix.According to the invention, and as shown more particularly, by way of example, FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings, the barrier signaling device of a traffic lane for motor vehicles and of a pedestrian crossing is essentially consisting of two identical elements 1 arranged on either side of the traffic lane and the passage to be protected and each formed by a barrel 2 for supporting a box 3 for guiding a signaling tape 4 provided at its end free of an operating handle 5, the implementation of the ribbons 4 of the elements 1 providing a visual superposition in the form of a cross.

Le caisson 3 est constitué, de préférence, par deux demi-coquilles 3′ reliées entre elles par des char­ nières 6 et fermées, du côté opposé aux charnières, au moyen d'une vis, d'un verrou ou autre (non représenté), l'une des demi-coquilles 3′ étant munie d'un manchon 7 d'insertion dans le fût 2, ce manchon 7 étant solidarisé au fût 2 par l'intermédiaire d'une vis, ledit caisson 3 étant avantageusement disposé à une hauteur comprise en­tre deux mètres et dix mètres, de préférence d'environ trois mètres (figure 1). Ce mode de réalisation permet une fabrication standardisée des fûts 2 et des caissons 3 et un stockage et un transport simplifiés, du fait que ces deux éléments peuvent être traités indépendamment. En outre, la prévision du manchon 7 permet un assemblage ai­sé et rapide du caisson 3 sur le fût 2 avec un position­nement instantané. De plus, la disposition en hauteur des caissons 3 permet l'obtention, lors de la mise en oeuvre des rubans 4, d'une croix de signalisation visible à grande distance pour les usagers de la route.The box 3 is preferably made up of two half-shells 3 ′ linked together by tanks niers 6 and closed, on the side opposite the hinges, by means of a screw, a lock or the like (not shown), one of the half-shells 3 ′ being provided with a sleeve 7 for insertion into the barrel 2, this sleeve 7 being secured to barrel 2 by means of a screw, said box 3 being advantageously disposed at a height of between two meters and ten meters, preferably about three meters (Figure 1). This embodiment allows standardized manufacture of drums 2 and boxes 3 and simplified storage and transport, because these two elements can be treated independently. In addition, the provision of the sleeve 7 allows easy and rapid assembly of the box 3 on the barrel 2 with instant positioning. In addition, the height arrangement of the boxes 3 makes it possible to obtain, during the implementation of the ribbons 4, a signaling cross visible at a great distance for road users.

Le ruban de signalisation 4 est avantageusement relié par une de ses extrémités à un ancrage 8 prévu dans la partie supérieure de la demi-coquille 3′ du caisson 3 solidaire du manchon 7, cette demi-coquille 3′ étant pourvue, en outre, d'au moins un galet 9 de renvoi du ru­ban 4 et de deux galets de guidage 10 dudit ruban 4 en direction de sa sortie du caisson 3 par l'intermédiaire d'une fente délimitée par des parois 11 correspondantes des demi-coquilles 3′, du côté opposé aux charnières 6, lesdits galets 9 et 10 étant montés en porte-à-faux dans la demi-coquille 3′ correspondante, les parois 11 délimi­tant, en outre, avec les demi-coquilles 3′ un logement 5′ pour la poignée 5 en position de repos du dispositif. Ainsi, il est possible de réaliser un guidage parfait du ruban pendant sa sortie du caisson 3 et, notamment, lors du vrillage d'un quart de tour qu'il subit entre le galet de renvoi 9 et la fente de guidage délimitée entre les parois 11 des demi-coquilles 3′ .The signaling tape 4 is advantageously connected by one of its ends to an anchor 8 provided in the upper part of the half-shell 3 ′ of the box 3 secured to the sleeve 7, this half-shell 3 ′ being provided, in addition, with d at least one roller 9 for returning the ribbon 4 and two guide rollers 10 for said ribbon 4 in the direction of its exit from the box 3 by means of a slot delimited by corresponding walls 11 of the half-shells 3 ′, on the side opposite to the hinges 6, said rollers 9 and 10 being mounted in cantilever in the corresponding half-shell 3 ′, the walls 11 delimiting, in addition, with the half-shells 3 ′ a housing 5 ′ for the handle 5 in the device rest position. Thus, it is possible to achieve perfect guidance of the ribbon during its exit from the box 3 and, in particular, during the twisting of a quarter turn that it undergoes between the idler roller 9 and the guide slot delimited between the walls 11 of the 3 ′ half-shells.

En outre, le ruban de signalisation 4 coopère avec un chariot mobile 12 faisant office de contre-poids et pouvant être muni de charges additionnelles 13 rappor­tées par vissage ou par accrochage sur des supports de forme correspondante dudit chariot 12, qui présente une forme générale en cornière, dont l'aile verticale est mu­nie d'au moins un galet en porte-à-faux 14 de montage du chariot sur au moins une boucle du ruban 4.In addition, the signaling tape 4 cooperates with a mobile carriage 12 acting as a counterweight and which can be provided with additional loads 13 added by screwing or by hooking on supports of corresponding shape of said carriage 12, which has a general shape in angle iron, the vertical wing of which is provided with at least one cantilever roller 14 for mounting the carriage on at least one loop of the ribbon 4.

La prévision de galets 9, 10 et 14 en porte-à-­faux dans le caisson 3 et sur le chariot mobile 12 permet un montage et un démontage aisés du ruban 4, en particu­lier pour son remplacement éventuel, après usure, rupture ou autre.The provision of rollers 9, 10 and 14 overhanging in the box 3 and on the movable carriage 12 allows easy mounting and dismounting of the tape 4, in particular for its possible replacement, after wear, breakage or other.

Les charges additionnelles 13, fixées de maniè­re connue sur le chariot 12, sont destinées à un réglage du poids du chariot 12 en vue de réguler le rappel en fonction de la longueur du ruban 4, de sa matière consti­tuante, du nombre de brins qu'il présente, et de l'utili­sateur. En outre, le réglage du poids du chariot 12 per­met d'influer sur la vitesse de rappel du ruban 4, qui ne doit être ni trop rapide, ni trop lente, en vue d'influer de manière bénéfique sur le comportement des conducteurs de véhicules automobiles.The additional loads 13, fixed in a known manner to the carriage 12, are intended for adjusting the weight of the carriage 12 with a view to regulating the return as a function of the length of the ribbon 4, of its constituent material, of the number of strands that it presents, and the user. In addition, the adjustment of the weight of the carriage 12 makes it possible to influence the speed of return of the ribbon 4, which must be neither too fast nor too slow, in order to have a beneficial influence on the behavior of the drivers of vehicles. automobiles.

Afin de favoriser la sortie de la poignée de manoeuvre 5 hors du caisson 3, le fût 2 est avantageuse­ment pourvu dans sa partie inférieure d'un dispositif 15 d'actionnement du chariot mobile 12 constitué par une pa­lette 16 s'étendant sous ledit chariot 12 et ses charges additionnelles 13 et relié par l'intermédiaire d'un câble ou d'un ruban 16′ coopérant avec un galet de renvoi 17 à l'extrémité libre d'une trappe 18 reliée à son autre ex­trémité par une charnière 19 au fût 2 et maintenue en po­sition de fermeture au moyen d'une serrure non représen­tée (figure 2).In order to favor the exit of the operating handle 5 from the box 3, the barrel 2 is advantageously provided in its lower part with a device 15 for actuating the mobile carriage 12 constituted by a pallet 16 extending under said carriage 12 and its additional loads 13 and connected by means of a cable or ribbon 16 ′ cooperating with a return roller 17 at the free end of a hatch 18 connected at its other end by a hinge 19 to the barrel 2 and held in the closed position by means of a lock (not shown) (Figure 2).

La trappe 18 peut avantageusement être réalisée sous forme d'un hublot transparent pouvant être muni de messages gravés. Ainsi, la trappe 18 permet, d'une part, de vérifier, sans ouverture, le bon fonctionnement du chariot mobile 12 et, d'autre part, de former un support de messages, aussi bien d'indication de fonctionnement pour les utilisateurs que publicitaires.The hatch 18 can advantageously be made in the form of a transparent window which can be provided with engraved messages. Thus, the hatch 18 allows, on the one hand, to verify, without opening, the proper functioning of the mobile carriage 12 and, on the other hand, to form a message carrier, both of indication of operation for users and advertising.

Selon une variante de réalisation de l'inven­tion, non représentée aux dessins annexés, le chariot mo­bile 12 peut être remplacé par plusieurs chariots indé­pendants affectés chacun à une boucle du ruban 4. Ainsi, il est possible de réduire le poids des chariots mobiles et de moduler la force de rappel en fonction de la lon­gueur de ruban à dérouler.According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, not shown in the accompanying drawings, the mobile carriage 12 can be replaced by several independent carriages each assigned to a loop of the ribbon 4. Thus, it is possible to reduce the weight of the mobile carriages and modulate the restoring force according to the length of ribbon to be unrolled.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique de l'invention, et comme le montrent les figures 3 et 4 des dessins annexés, chaque fût 2 est avantageusement pourvu dans sa partie inférieure d'un moyen 20 de guidage du ru­ban 4 s'étendant en saillie par rapport au fût 2 et per­pendiculairement à la voie de circulation des véhicules automobiles. Ce moyen 20 est destiné à permettre un ren­voi du ruban 4 perpendiculairement au fût 2, par exemple le long d'un trottoir, afin de barrer le passage vers la voie de circulation et le passage pour piétons pendant les périodes réservées à la circulation des véhicules au­tomobiles.In accordance with another characteristic of the invention, and as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 of the accompanying drawings, each drum 2 is advantageously provided in its lower part with a means 20 for guiding the ribbon 4 projecting in relation to at barrel 2 and perpendicular to the lane of motor vehicles. This means 20 is intended to allow a return of the tape 4 perpendicular to the barrel 2, for example along a sidewalk, in order to block the passage to the traffic lane and the pedestrian crossing during the periods reserved for the circulation of vehicles automobiles.

Ce moyen 20 sert, en outre, de marche-pied pour des interventions éventuelles au niveau du caisson 3 de guidage du ruban 4.This means 20 also serves as a step for possible interventions at the level of the box 3 for guiding the tape 4.

Le moyen 20 peut avantageusement être réalisé, comme le montre la figure 3 des dessins annexés, sous forme d'un simple maneton cylindrique ou sensiblement cy­lindrique usiné ou moulé, fixé sur la paroi du fût 2 par vissage et éventuellement fendu pour favoriser la retenue de la poignée 5 avec passage du ruban 4. Dans un tel mode de réalisation, le moyen 20 reste continuellement en saillie sur le fût 2.The means 20 can advantageously be produced, as shown in Figure 3 of the accompanying drawings, in the form of a simple cylindrical or substantially cylindrical crankpin machined or molded, fixed to the wall of the barrel 2 by screwing and possibly split to favor the retention of the handle 5 with passage of the ribbon 4. In such an embodiment, the means 20 continuously projects from the barrel 2.

La figure 4 représente une autre variante de réalisation du moyen 20, dans laquelle ce dernier est constitué par un élément de forme allongée fixé vertica­lement sur une paroi du fût 2 et présentant, sensiblement dans sa partie médiane, une fente 21 dont un côté, de préférence le côté inférieur, est délimité par un élément escamotable 22. Cet élément escamotable 22 peut être réa­lisé sous forme d'une simple pièce montée à pivotement au moyen de charnières 23 sur la partie inférieure de l'élé­ment allongé formant le moyen 20 et maintenu en position de formation de la fente 21 par une goupille 24 montée élastiquement à l'intérieur du fût 2 ou par une simple goupille mise en place par l'intérieur du fût 2 et soli­daire d'une chaînette de maintien. L'élément escamotable 22 peut également être réalisé sous forme d'une pièce coulissant dans le fût 2 en position d'escamotage et maintenu dans l'autre position par une goupille, un ver­rou ou analogue.FIG. 4 represents another alternative embodiment of the means 20, in which the latter consists of an elongated element fixed vertically on a wall of the barrel 2 and having, substantially in its middle part, a slot 21, one side of which preferably the lower side is delimited by a retractable element 22. This retractable element 22 can be produced in the form of a single piece pivotally mounted by means of hinges 23 on the lower part of the elongated element forming the means 20 and maintained in the slot 21 formation position by a pin 24 resiliently mounted inside the barrel 2 or by a simple pin placed inside the barrel 2 and secured to a retaining chain. The retractable element 22 can also be produced in the form of a part sliding in the barrel 2 in the retracted position and held in the other position by a pin, a lock or the like.

La prévision de l'élément escamotable 22 permet une transformation aisée du moyen 20 en un marche-pied, dans la position escamotée dudit élément 22, tandis que dans son autre position il empêche toute utilisation in­tempestive du moyen 20 autrement que comme moyen de gui­dage du ruban 4.The provision of the retractable element 22 allows an easy transformation of the means 20 into a step, in the retracted position of said element 22, while in its other position it prevents any untimely use of the means 20 other than as a means of guiding the ribbon 4.

Comme le montre la figure 5, la poignée de ma­noeuvre 5 est avantageusement constituée sous forme d'une anse fermée munie d'une partie de préhension 25 et, du côté opposé à cette partie 25, d'un logement 26 de récep­tion des extrémités d'un élément élastique 27 de fixation de l'extrémité libre du ruban de signalisation 4 dans la poignée 5. L'élément élastique 27 est avantageusement constitué par un fil en acier à ressorts emmanché dans une boucle de l'extrémité libre du ruban 4 et dont les extrémités se croisent et présentent chacune une partie 27′ s'étendant sensiblement parallèlement à celle emman­chée dans la boucle du ruban 4, lesdites parties 27′ pé­ nétrant dans des chambrages latéraux 26′ du logement 26. Ainsi, après mise en place de la boucle du ruban 4 sur l'élément élastique 27, ce dernier est déformé de manière à permettre la pénétration de ses extrémités 27′ dans le logement 26 et leur enclenchement élastique dans les chambrages latéraux 26′, réalisant ainsi le maintien en position dudit élément 27.As shown in FIG. 5, the operating handle 5 is advantageously constituted in the form of a closed handle provided with a gripping part 25 and, on the side opposite this part 25, a housing 26 for receiving the ends d 'an elastic element 27 for fixing the free end of the signaling tape 4 in the handle 5. The elastic element 27 is advantageously constituted by a spring steel wire fitted in a loop of the free end of the tape 4 and the ends of which cross and each have a part 27 ′ extending substantially parallel to that fitted into the loop of the ribbon 4, said parts 27 ′ pe opening into lateral recesses 26 ′ of the housing 26. Thus, after placing the loop of the ribbon 4 on the elastic element 27, the latter is deformed so as to allow the penetration of its ends 27 ′ into the housing 26 and their elastic engagement in the lateral recesses 26 ′, thus maintaining said element 27 in position.

Les extrémités 27′ de l'élément élastique 27 se terminent avantageusement par un arrondi ou par une par­tie en boucle s'étendant perpendiculairement et dans le plan desdites extrémités. Cette conformation des extrémi­tés 27′ associée à la réalisation en un matériau élasti­quement déformable de l'élément 27 permet l'obtention d'une liaison pouvant être interrompue par arrachement en cas de dépassement d'une force de traction prédéterminée sur le ruban 4. A cet effet, l'élément 27 est arrachable du logement 26 de la poignée 5 grâce à un tarage de la force d'insertion des extrémités 27′ dans les chambrages 26′ . Un tel tarage peut facilement être réalisé par cal­cul préalable de la section du fil constitutif de l'élé­ment 27. Ainsi, dans le cas d'une traction excessive et brutale sur le ruban 4, l'élément 27 se déforme et ses extrémités 27′ se déchaussent des chambrages 26′ corres­pondants du logement 26, ce qui entraîne une séparation de la poignée 5 et du ruban 4, de sorte que l'utilisateur ne risque pas d'être entraîné par ledit ruban 4, notam­ment dans le cas où un véhicule automobile entraînerait ledit ruban.The ends 27 ′ of the elastic element 27 advantageously end in a rounding or in a looped part extending perpendicularly and in the plane of said ends. This conformation of the ends 27 ′ associated with the production in an elastically deformable material of the element 27 makes it possible to obtain a connection which can be interrupted by tearing in the event of a predetermined tensile force being exceeded on the strip 4. A for this purpose, the element 27 can be removed from the housing 26 of the handle 5 by adjusting the insertion force of the ends 27 ′ in the recesses 26 ′. Such a calibration can easily be carried out by prior calculation of the section of the wire constituting the element 27. Thus, in the case of excessive and brutal traction on the ribbon 4, the element 27 is deformed and its ends 27 ′ the corresponding recesses 26 ′ are removed from the housing 26, which causes the handle 5 and the ribbon 4 to separate, so that the user is not likely to be entrained by said ribbon 4, in particular in the case where a vehicle automobile would cause said ribbon.

La liaison entre la boucle d'extrémité du ruban 4 et la poignée de manoeuvre 5 peut également être réali­sée au moyen d'un axe (non représenté) traversant ladite boucle d'extrémité et pourvu à ses deux extrémités ou à au moins une extrémité d'un élément mobile chargé par ressorts tendant à repousser les deux extrémités dans les chambrages latéraux du logement de la poignée de manoeu­vre. Un tel axe peut se présenter sous forme d'un axe mu­ ni à ses deux extrémités de billes escamotables chargées par ressorts ou encore sous forme d'un axe télescopique dont les éléments sont chargés par ressorts.The connection between the end loop of the ribbon 4 and the operating handle 5 can also be carried out by means of an axis (not shown) passing through said end loop and provided at its two ends or at at least one end d 'a movable element loaded by springs tending to push the two ends in the lateral recesses of the housing of the operating handle. Such an axis can be in the form of a mu axis nor at its two ends of retractable balls loaded by springs or in the form of a telescopic axis whose elements are loaded by springs.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique de l'invention, non représentée aux dessins annexés, les ex­trémités 27′ de l'élément élastique 27 sont logées dans la boucle d'extrémité du ruban 4, l'élément 27 étant so­lidaire de la poignée 5. Ainsi, en cas de choc entraînant une rupture de la liaison, aucun élément dangereux et lourd n'est plus projeté.According to another characteristic of the invention, not shown in the accompanying drawings, the ends 27 ′ of the elastic element 27 are housed in the end loop of the ribbon 4, the element 27 being integral with the handle 5. Thus , in the event of an impact resulting in a break in the connection, no dangerous and heavy elements are projected.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le ruban 4 et les faces latérales de la poignée de ma­noeuvre 5, en particulier celles s'étendant de part et d'autre du logement 26, sont avantageusement pourvus d'éléments rétro-réfléchissants 28 sous forme de bandes autocollantes, de pièces rigides rapportées par collage ou autre ou encore d'éléments cousus sur la bande 4 ou fixés par sertissage sur la poignée 5.According to another characteristic of the invention, the strip 4 and the lateral faces of the operating handle 5, in particular those extending on either side of the housing 26, are advantageously provided with retro-reflecting elements 28 under in the form of self-adhesive strips, of rigid parts added by gluing or otherwise or of elements sewn on the strip 4 or fixed by crimping on the handle 5.

Enfin, conformément à une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le caisson 3 peut avantageusement être surmonté par un dispositif fixe ou animé non représenté, dont les mouvements d'animation sont réalisés par l'in­termédiaire de dispositifs d'entraînement à chaînes, à courroies, à engrenages ou à cames et biellettes. Un tel dispositif animé peut se présenter, soit sous forme d'un animal faisant, de préférence, référence à un déplacement lent tel qu'un canard, une tortue ou un escargot, ou en­core sous forme d'un être humain. Un tel mode de réalisa­tion permet d'attirer l'attention des automobilistes sur le dispositif personnalisé qu'ils vont mémoriser, recon­naître et adopter et ils seront ainsi amenés plus natu­rellement à ralentir et à s'arrêter, si besoin est.Finally, in accordance with another characteristic of the invention, the box 3 can advantageously be overcome by a fixed or animated device, not shown, the animation movements of which are carried out by means of chain drive devices, with belts. , with gears or with cams and rods. Such an animated device can be in the form of an animal, preferably referring to a slow movement such as a duck, a turtle or a snail, or even in the form of a human being. Such an embodiment makes it possible to draw the attention of motorists to the personalized device that they will memorize, recognize and adopt and they will thus be more naturally led to slow down and stop, if need be.

En outre, selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, chaque caisson 3 et son fût 2 peuvent avan­tageusement être munis sur leurs faces externes d'une ma­tière réfléchissante sous forme d'un film rapporté, d'une peinture fluorescente ou d'éléments réfléchissants rap­portés. De telles faces réfléchissantes permettent égale­ment de rendre le dispositif facilement repérable, même à une distance relativement importante, de sorte que la sé­curité est également augmentée.In addition, according to another characteristic of the invention, each box 3 and its barrel 2 can advantageously be provided on their external faces with a reflective material in the form of an added film, of a fluorescent paint or reflective elements added. Such reflective faces also make it possible to make the device easily identifiable, even at a relatively large distance, so that security is also increased.

Le dispositif conforme à l'invention peut être mis en oeuvre très facilement par tous les utilisateurs, quels que soient leur âge et leur taille, le début de la sortie de la poignée de manoeuvre 5 du caisson 3 pouvant facilement être réalisé au moyen du dispositif d'action­nement 15 du chariot mobile 2, ladite poignée 5 étant alors simplement tirée par l'utilisateur vers le côté op­posé de la chaussée. Ainsi, la traction sur la bande 4 sortant du caisson 3, de part et d'autre d'une chaussée, permet de déterminer un couloir de circulation pour les piétons, ce couloir étant parfaitement signalisé.The device according to the invention can be implemented very easily by all users, whatever their age and size, the start of the output of the operating handle 5 from the box 3 being easily achieved by means of the device actuating 15 of the movable carriage 2, said handle 5 then being simply pulled by the user towards the opposite side of the road. Thus, the traction on the strip 4 leaving the box 3, on either side of a roadway, makes it possible to determine a traffic corridor for pedestrians, this corridor being perfectly signposted.

Après le passage des piétons, il suffit de re­venir avec chaque poignée au point de départ et de la lâ­cher, sa rentrée dans le caisson 3 correspondant s'effec­tuant automatiquement, de manière connue.After the passage of the pedestrians, it suffices to return with each handle to the starting point and to release it, its re-entry into the corresponding box 3 taking place automatically, in known manner.

Pour empêcher une traversée de chaussée pendant une période de circulation des véhicules automobiles, il suffit de tirer le ruban 4 autour du moyen de guidage 20 ou à travers la fente 21 de ce moyen 20 et de maintenir la poignée 5 à une distance du fût 2 correspondant à la largeur du passage pour piétons à barrer.To prevent a road crossing during a period of movement of motor vehicles, it suffices to pull the tape 4 around the guide means 20 or through the slot 21 of this means 20 and to keep the handle 5 at a distance from the barrel 2 corresponding to the width of the pedestrian crossing to be crossed.

L'invention est plus particulièrement destinée à être utilisée temporairement en milieu urbain pour la signalisation du barrage de passages pour piétons, alter­nativement pendant la traversée de la chaussée et pendant le passage des véhicules automobiles. Toutefois, ce dis­positif est également applicable pour la signalisation de passages à niveau, de barrages de passages de fleuves, de passages de bestiaux, pour les contrôles routiers, etc...The invention is more particularly intended to be used temporarily in an urban environment for signaling the barrier of pedestrian crossings, alternately during the crossing of the roadway and during the passage of motor vehicles. However, this device is also applicable for signaling level crossings, dams for river crossings, cattle crossings, for road checks, etc.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté aux dessins an­ nexés. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments ou par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown in the drawings an attached. Modifications remain possible, in particular from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substitution of technical equivalents, without thereby departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
