Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de fixation d'une pale anti-éblouissement sur une glissière métallique de sécurité placée sur le terre plein-central séparant des voies de circulation automobile.The present invention relates to a device for fixing an anti-glare blade on a slide safety metal placed on the central reservation separating traffic lanes.

La plupart des voies de circulation à grande vitesse sont équipées centralement de glissières métalliques de sécurité permettant de guider et retenir les véhicules dont les conducteurs ont perdu le contrôle. Ces glissières sont constituées de rails métalliques aboutés les uns aux autres et supportés par des poteaux, ces rails-affectant un profil ondulé du type à deux vagues, à savoir deux parties périphériques longitudinales convexes reliées par une partie longitudinale centrale concave, le profil pouvant être soit arrondi soit anguleux.Most large traffic lanes speed are centrally equipped with metal slides for guiding and restraining vehicles whose drivers have lost control. These slides consist of metal rails butted together others and supported by poles, these rails-affecting a corrugated profile of the two wave type, namely two parts convex longitudinal devices connected by a part concave longitudinal center, the profile can be either rounded or angular.

Sur certains tronçons de voies, les glissières sont équipées de panneaux verticaux, ou pales, anti-éblouissement, régulièrement espacés, positionnés au-dessus desdites glissières, transversalement à l'axe des voies, en vue de permettre aux automobilistes circulant sur une voie de ne pas être éblouis par les feux des voitures circulant en sens inverse, de l'autre côté desdites glissières, la distance séparant deux panneaux consécutifs étant fonction d'une part de la largeur desdits panneaux et d'autre part de la courbure de la route.On certain sections of track, the slides are fitted with vertical panels, or blades, anti-glare, evenly spaced, positioned above said slides, transverse to the axis of the tracks, in view to allow motorists traveling on a lane not to be dazzled by the lights of cars driving in the opposite direction, on the other side of said slides, the distance between two consecutive panels being a function on the one hand the width of said panels and on the other hand the curvature of the road.

Afin de limiter le coût, au mètre linéaire, d'équipement d'une route il convient de trouver un compromis entre les dimensions des panneaux et leur espacement. Sachant que les dimensions d'un panneau sont limitées, pour des raisons de résistance au vent et d'encombrement, le coût d'équipement atteint une limite inférieure en-dessous de laquelle il est difficile de passer.In order to limit the cost, per linear meter, equipment of a road it is necessary to find a compromise between the dimensions of the panels and their spacing. Knowing that the dimensions of a panel are limited, for reasons of wind resistance and size, the cost of equipment reaches a lower limit below which it is difficult to pass.

Les pales anti-éblouissement doivent d'autre part être fixées solidement aux glissières pour résister aux déplacements d'air et elles doivent comporter des moyens de réglage en inclinaison de manière à contre-balancer les éventuelles déformations des glissières et ainsi permettre leur alignement correct.The anti-glare blades must otherwise hand be securely attached to the rails to resist air movements and they must include means of tilt adjustment so as to counterbalance the possible deformations of the slides and thus allow their correct alignment.

On connaít déjà des dispositifs de fixation de pales anti-éblouissement sur des glissières, tels celui décrit dans le document FR-A-2 677 682 au nom de SODIREL S.A., mais ce dispositif convient à un seul type de glissières, à savoir les glissières à deux vagues, et ne peut être adapté à des glissières à trois vagues et plus, utilisées dans certains pays, qu'au prix d'une modification importante des pièces qui le composent.We already know fastening devices anti-glare blades on slides, such as this described in document FR-A-2 677 682 in the name of SODIREL S.A., but this device is suitable for only one type of slides, i.e. two-wave slides, and do not can be adapted to slides with three or more waves, used in some countries, only at the cost of a modification important parts that compose it.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à cet inconvénient en proposant un dispositif de fixation de pales anti-éblouissement sur une glissière de sécurité routière, d'installation et de réglage faciles, et adaptable sur tous types de glissières.The object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback by proposing a device for fixing anti-glare blades on a safety barrier road, easy installation and adjustment, and adaptable on all types of slides.

Le dispositif de fixation selon l'invention est exposé dans la revendication 1. Les sous-revendications visent des formes de réalisations avantageuses. The fixing device according to the invention is exposed in the claim 1. The subclaims relate to forms of advantageous achievements.

La fixation d'un dispositif selon l'invention sur une glissière de sécurité peut être réalisée de la manière suivante : la platine-support, ou la platine solidarisée à son support, est positionnée à l'arrière de la glissière, dont le bord supérieur est engagé dans la rainure transversale de ladite platine-support, puis la bride est positionnée sur la glissière, ses extrémités supérieure et inférieure enveloppant les bords longitudinaux de ladite glissière tout en prenant appui sur l'arrière des ergots de manière à appliquer la platine-support contre la glissière, enfin les brins de la brides sont écartés, de manière à permettre le pivotement de la platine sur le bord supérieur de la glissière afin de déterminer son inclinaison idéale, puis ils sont relâchés et introduits chacun dans une rainure verticale, bloquant ainsi la platine-support dans la position choisie. La pale peut être ensuite solidarisée à la platine par des moyens appropriés.The fixing of a device according to the invention on a safety barrier can be made from the as follows: the support plate, or the plate secured to its support, is positioned at the rear of the slide, the upper edge of which is engaged in the groove transverse of said support plate, then the flange is positioned on the slide, its upper ends and lower enveloping the longitudinal edges of said slide while resting on the rear of the lugs so as to apply the support plate against the slide, finally the strands of the flange are separated, so that allow pivoting of the plate on the upper edge of the slide in order to determine its ideal inclination, then they are released and each introduced into a groove vertical, thus blocking the support plate in the chosen position. The blade can then be secured to the platinum by appropriate means.

La fixation du dispositif selon l'invention à une glissière de sécurité peut être réalisée d'une autre manière, en positionnant d'abord la bride sur la glissière, puis en y adaptant la platine-support en la faisant passer en force entre les brins de la bride qui s'écartent sous la pression, les extrémités des ergots étant à cet effet biseautées du côté de la face de la platine-support disposée en regard de la glissière.The fixing of the device according to the invention to a safety barrier can be made from another way, by first positioning the flange on the slide, then by adapting the support plate by passing it in force between the strands of the flange which deviate under the pressure, the ends of the pins being therefor bevelled on the side of the face of the support plate disposed next to the slide.

Selon le profil de la glissière à équiper la platine-support, ou le support, et la bride peuvent affecter des formes différentes. Depending on the profile of the slide to be fitted to the support plate, or the support, and the flange may affect different shapes.

Dans le cas d'une glissière de plus grande hauteur que celle des glissières classiques, c'est-à-dire à trois vagues ou plus, il suffit d'utiliser des brides de dimensions différentes, la platine-support restant identique.In the case of a larger slide height than that of conventional slides, i.e. three or more waves, just use flanges of different dimensions, the support plate remaining identical.

Les avantages et les caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte aux dessins annexés lesquels en représentent divers modes de réalisation non limitatifs.The advantages and features of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which relates to the attached drawings which represent various embodiments not limiting.

Si on se réfère à la figure 1 on peut voir un dispositif selon l'invention de fixation d'une pale anti-éblouissement, non représentée, sur une glissière 1 du type à deux vagues 10 et 11 jointes par une gorge 12 à profil anguleux.If we refer to Figure 1 we can see a device according to the invention for fixing an anti-dazzle blade, not shown, on a slide 1 of the type with two waves 10 and 11 joined by a groove 12 in profile angular.

Ce dispositif comporte une platine-support 2 et une bride 3.This device comprises a support plate 2 and a flange 3.

La bride 3 est constituée d'un fil métallique 30 plié dont les extrémités 31 et 32 sont aboutées et solidarisées l'une à l'autre par un moyen approprié, par exemple par soudage, de manière à constituer deux brins 33 et 34 en regard qui sont eux-mêmes pliés, d'une part au niveau de leurs parties extrêmes afin de former des crochets 35 et 36 aptes à envelopper les bords longitudinaux extérieurs respectivement haut 13 et bas 14 de la glissière 1, et d'autre part dans leur partie intermédiaire 37 afin d'épouser à distance la gorge longitudinale 12 de la glissière 1.The flange 3 consists of a metal wire 30 folded whose ends 31 and 32 are butted and joined together by an appropriate means, by example by welding, so as to constitute two strands 33 and 34 opposite which are themselves folded, on the one hand at level of their extreme parts in order to form hooks 35 and 36 suitable for wrapping the longitudinal edges outer respectively top 13 and bottom 14 of the slide 1, and on the other hand in their intermediate part 37 so marry the longitudinal groove 12 of the slide 1.

La platine-support 2, réalisée en matière plastique moulée, comporte une partie platine 20 sensiblement horizontale destinée à recevoir une pale anti-éblouissement, non représentée, solidarisable par des moyens de fixation également non représentés, et une partie support 21 sensiblement verticale.The support plate 2, made of material molded plastic, has a platinum part 20 substantially horizontal intended to receive an anti-glare blade, not shown, can be secured by means also not shown, and a support part 21 substantially vertical.

La partie support 21 comporte, dans le prolongement de la partie platine 20, sur son bord en contact avec la glissière 1, une rainure transversale 22 dans laquelle s'insère le bord supérieur 15 de la glissière 1.The support part 21 comprises, in the extension of the platinum part 20, on its edge in contact with the slide 1, a transverse groove 22 in which the upper edge 15 of the slide is inserted 1.

Elle comporte également, en arrière de la rainure transversale 22, et sur chacun de ses flancs latéraux, un ergot 23 , dont un seul est visible sur la figure, saillant parallèlement à la glissière 1.It also includes, behind the transverse groove 22, and on each of its sides lateral, a lug 23, only one of which is visible on the figure, protruding parallel to the slide 1.

Dans leur partie inférieure, chacun des flancs latéraux de la partie support 21 comporte trois excroissances allongées 24 délimitant deux rainures verticales 25 de largeur légèrement supérieure au diamètre du fil métallique 3.In their lower part, each of the sides side of the support part 21 has three elongated protuberances 24 delimiting two grooves vertical 25 of width slightly greater than the diameter wire 3.

On peut voir sur la figure que la bride 3 maintient la platine-support 2 appliquée contre la glissière 1 en exerçant une pression sur les ergots 23, tandis que la rainure transversale 22 empêche le glissement vertical de la platine-support 2.We can see in the figure that the flange 3 keeps the support plate 2 applied against the slide 1 by exerting pressure on the pins 23, while the transverse groove 22 prevents vertical sliding of the support plate 2.

Le réglage de l'inclinaison de la platine-support 2, permettant un positionnement sensiblement à la verticale de la pale anti-éblouissement, est réalisé en introduisant les brins 33 et 34, préalablement écartés latéralement, dans l'une ou l'autre des rainures verticales 25, tout en déplaçant la platine-support 2 par pivotement d'une part du fond de la rainure transversale 22 sur le bord 15 de la glissière 1, et d'autre part des ergots 23 sur la bride 3.Adjusting the tilt of the support plate 2, allowing positioning substantially at the vertical of the anti-glare blade, is made in introducing the strands 33 and 34, previously discarded laterally, in either of the vertical grooves 25, while moving the support plate 2 by pivoting on the one hand from the bottom of the transverse groove 22 on the edge 15 of the slide 1, and on the other hand of the pins 23 on the flange 3.

La solidarisation de la platine-support 2 à la glissière 1 peut être réalisée en l'introduisant en force entre les brins 33 et 34 de la bride 3 préalablement solidarisée à la glissière 1, et afin de faciliter cette manoeuvre les ergots 23 comportent en regard de la glissière 1 un biseau 26.The attachment of the support plate 2 to the slide 1 can be made by forcing it in between the strands 33 and 34 of the flange 3 beforehand secured to the slide 1, and in order to facilitate this maneuvering the lugs 23 comprise opposite the slide 1 a bevel 26.

Si on se réfère maintenant aux figures 2, 2a et 2b, on peut voir que la platine-support 2 peut être réalisée, pour des commodités de fabrication, en deux parties séparées, une platine 4 (figure 2a) et un support 5 (figure 2b).If we now refer to Figures 2, 2a and 2b, it can be seen that the support plate 2 can be made, for manufacturing convenience, in two separate parts, a plate 4 (Figure 2a) and a support 5 (Figure 2b).

La platine 4 comporte une partie inférieure 40 de largeur inférieure à la largeur intérieure de la partie supérieure 50 du support 5, en vue de permettre son introduction dans cette partie 50.The plate 4 has a lower part 40 of width less than the internal width of the part upper 50 of the support 5, in order to allow its introduction in this part 50.

La solidarisation de la platine 4 au support 5 est réalisée d'une part par introduction d'une aile transversale 41, saillant à l'avant de la platine 4, dans une rainure transversale 51 pratiquée en regard de la rainure transversale 22 à l'intérieur du support 5, et d'autre part au moyen d'ergots élastiques 42, dont un seul est visible sur la figure, qui sont disposés, saillants extérieurement, sur les flancs 43 de la partie avant inférieure 40 de la platine 4, et qui sont encliquetables dans des orifices 52, dont un seul est visible sur la figure, pratiqués dans les flancs 53 de la partie supérieure 50 du support 5.The connection of the plate 4 to the support 5 is carried out on the one hand by introduction of a wing transverse 41, projecting in front of the plate 4, in a transverse groove 51 made opposite the transverse groove 22 inside the support 5, and secondly by means of elastic lugs 42, of which only one is visible in the figure, which are arranged, protruding externally, on the sides 43 of the front part bottom 40 of the plate 4, and which are snap-on in holes 52, only one of which is visible on the figure, practiced in the flanks 53 of the upper part 50 of support 5.

La solidarisation de la platine 4 au support 5 est complétée par la pression exercée par la bride 3 contre les ergots 23 saillant latéralement de la platine 4, cette pression, outre le maintien de la platine-support 2 contre la glissière 1, permettant l'enserrement du support 5 entre la platine 4 et le bord 15 de la glissière 1.The connection of the plate 4 to the support 5 is supplemented by the pressure exerted by the flange 3 against the lugs 23 projecting laterally from the plate 4, this pressure, in addition to holding the support plate 2 against the slide 1, allowing the support 5 to be clamped between the plate 4 and the edge 15 of the slide 1.

Si on se réfère maintenant à la figure 3, on peut voir une glissière 6 également à deux vagues 60 et 61 jointes par une gorge 62, qui se différencie de la glissière 1 notamment en ce que son profil est plus arrondi et en ce que la gorge 62 est moins profonde que la gorge 12, en sorte que le fond de la gorge 62 et les bords longitudinaux haut 63 et bas 64 de la glissière sont pratiquement dans un même plan vertical.If we now refer to Figure 3, we can see a slide 6 also with two waves 60 and 61 joined by a groove 62, which differs from the slide 1 in particular in that its profile is more rounded and in that throat 62 is shallower than throat 12, so that the bottom of the groove 62 and the top longitudinal edges 63 and bottom 64 of the slide are practically in one vertical plane.

Pour ce type de glissière 6, la platine 4 est identique, seuls le support 5' et la bride 3' sont différents, le principe de fixation, d'une part de la platine 4 au support 5', d'autre part de l'ensemble platine 4 et support 5' à la glissière 6 étant le même que dans le mode de réalisation précédent : dans ce mode de réalisation la bride 3' est rectiligne dans sa partie médiane et le support 5' est vertical, avec une encoche longitudinale 55' dans chacun de ses flancs pour le passage de la gorge 62 de la glissière 6, le mode d'assemblage de la platine 4 et du support 5' demeurant le même que décrit précédemment à l'appui de la figure 2.For this type of slide 6, the plate 4 is identical, only the 5 'support and the 3' flange are different, the fixing principle, on the one hand the plate 4 to support 5 ', on the other hand of the plate assembly 4 and support 5 'at the slide 6 being the same as in the previous embodiment: in this embodiment the flange 3 'is rectilinear in its middle part and the support 5 'is vertical, with a longitudinal notch 55' in each of its flanks for the passage of the throat 62 of the slide 6, the method of assembling the plate 4 and the support 5 'remaining the same as described above at the support of figure 2.

Si on se réfère maintenant aux figures 4 et 5 on peut voir un dispositif anti-éblouissement susceptible d'être monté sur une glissière au moyen d'un dispositif de fixation selon l'invention, et qui comporte, comme les dispositifs existants, une pale 7 et un socle 8.If we now refer to Figures 4 and 5 we can see an anti-glare device can be mounted on a slide by means of a fixing device according to the invention, and who includes, like existing devices, a blade 7 and a base 8.

On peut également voir que la pale 7 n'est pas perpendiculaire aux axes X et Y de circulation, mais qu'elle fait avec la perpendiculaire à ces axes un angle β qui est compris entre 10 et 20°, cet angle étant de préférence égal à 16°.We can also see that blade 7 is not perpendicular to the X and Y axes of circulation, but that it makes with the perpendicular to these axes an angle β which is between 10 and 20 °, this angle preferably being equal at 16 °.

La pale 7 est constituée d'une plaque 70 pourvue de renforts verticaux 71 entre lesquels sont pratiqués des évidements 72, partiellement obturés par des volets inclinés 73, permettant d'absorber les filets du vent sans nuire à la fonction anti-éblouissement.The blade 7 consists of a plate 70 provided of vertical reinforcements 71 between which are practiced recesses 72, partially closed by inclined flaps 73, allowing the wind nets to be absorbed without harming the anti-glare function.

Le socle 8 est une plaque solidarisable par des moyens appropriés, non représentés, à un support tel que des figures 1 à 3.The base 8 is a plate which can be secured by means suitable, not shown, for a support as in Figures 1 to 3.

Claims (5)

  1. A device for fixing an anti-dazzle blade on a metal security barrier placed on the central reserve between motor traffic carriageways, the device being characterized in that it comprises a support plate (2) securable to the back of a metal barrier (1, 6) by means of a clip (3, 3') constituted by a metal wire (30) whose ends (31, 32) are placed end-to-end, and which is folded in such a manner that firstly it presents a certain amount of transverse and longitudinal resilience, and secondly it is capable of fitting over the rear outline of said barrier (1, 6) at a distance therefrom, overlying its longitudinal edges (13, 14) above and below said support plate (2), and passing on either side thereof.
  2. A device according to claim 1, characterized in that the support plate (2) has firstly, in its top portion (20), on its edge in contact with the barrier (1), a transverse groove (22) suitable for receiving the edge (15) of said barrier (1); secondly, behind said groove (22), projecting on either side of the flanks of the support plate (2), two studs (23) of substantially round section; and thirdly on either side of its bottom portion (21), projecting elements (24) defining vertical grooves (25); the width of the support plate (2) being greater than the distance between the two facing segments (33, 34) of the clip (3).
  3. A device according to claim I or claim 2, characterized in that the support plate (2) is made in two portions, a plate portion (4) having the lateral studs (23) and the blade fixing means, and a support portion (5) comprising the transverse and vertical grooves (22, 25), these two portions (4, 5) being reversibly securable to each other.
  4. A device according to claim 3, characterized in that the plate (4) is securable to the support (5) firstly by inserting a transverse flange (41) projecting from the front of the plate (4) into a transverse groove (51) formed in register with the transverse groove (22) inside said support (5), and secondly by means of resilient studs (42) which are disposed to project outwards on the flanks (42) of the bottom front portion (40) of the plate (4) and which are insertable into orifices (52) formed in the flanks (53) of the top portion (50) of the support (5).
  5. A device according to any preceding claim, characterized in that the studs (23) have respective chamfers (26) facing the barrier (1, 6).
