Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Abgrenzungsleuchte zum Abgrenzen von Gefahren- bzw. Arbeitsbereichen mit einem transparenten, eine Lampe aufweisenden Leuchtkörper.The invention relates to a demarcation lamp for delimiting danger or work areas with a transparent lamp having a lamp.

Zur Abgrenzung von Gefahren- bzw. Arbeitsbereichen, vornehmlich bei Baustellen, werden verschiedene Signalmittel und Absperrvorrichtungen verwendet. Der Zweck besteht allgemein darin, Menschen vor Gefahrenbereichen zu schützen. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit erfordert dieser Schutz bei Nacht bzw. bei Dunkelheit oder schlechten Sichtverhältnissen. Zu diesem Zweck ist es bekannt, derartige Signalmittel als Abgrenzungsleuchte mit einem transparenten, eine Lampe aufweisenden Leuchtkörper auszubilden.Various signaling devices and shut-off devices are used to delimit danger and work areas, especially at construction sites. The general purpose is to protect people from hazardous areas. This protection requires special attention at night, in the dark or in poor visibility. For this purpose, it is known to design such signaling means as a boundary light with a transparent luminous body having a lamp.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun in der Schaffung einer Abgrenzungsleuchte der gattungsgemäßen Art, die bei minimalem konstruktivem Aufwand einfach und rasch an unterschiedliche Einsatzbedingungen anpaßbar ist.The object of the present invention is to create a demarcation lamp of the generic type which can be easily and quickly adapted to different conditions of use with minimal design effort.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit einer eingangs genannten Abgrenzungsleuchte dadurch gelöst, daß der Leuchtkörper aus einem schlauchförmigen, flexiblen Material gebildet ist und an beiden Enden eine Kupplung zur lösbaren Verbindung mit einer weiteren Abgrenzungsleuchte aufweist.This object is achieved with a demarcation lamp mentioned at the outset in that the luminous body is formed from a tubular, flexible material and has a coupling at both ends for releasable connection to a further demarcation lamp.

Mit einer derartigen Ausbildung besteht die Möglichkeit einer beliebigen Verlängerung des Leuchtkörpers zu einer der jeweiligen Baustellenabsperrung entsprechenden Länge. Diese Verlängerung ist sehr einfach und rasch durch Ankupplung weiterer Abgrenzungsleuchten erzielbar. Mit der Flexibilität des Leuchtkörpers wird einerseits eine Anpassung an unterschiedliche Baustellenumrisse vereinfacht und andererseits auch eine Beschädigung und damit eine Einschränkung des Sicherheitseffektes weitgehend ausgeschlossen. Außerdem schafft die flexible Ausbildung die Möglichkeit eines Zusammenrollens zur Zwischenlagerung für den nächstfolgenden Einsatz, was zusätzlich zum einfacheren Transport auch den Schutz vor Beschädigungen verbessert.With such a design, there is the possibility of any lengthening of the luminous element to a length corresponding to the respective construction site barrier. This extension is very easy and quick to achieve by coupling additional demarcation lights. The flexibility of the luminous element on the one hand simplifies adaptation to different construction site outlines and on the other hand largely prevents damage and thus a restriction of the safety effect. In addition, the flexible design creates the possibility of rolling up for intermediate storage for the next use, which in addition to easier transportation also improves protection against damage.

Weitere Vorteile von bevorzugten Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der Zeichnungsbeschreibung.Further advantages of preferred developments of the invention result from the description of the drawing.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand in der Zeichnung dargestellter Ausführungsbeispiele näher beschrieben.The invention is described in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing.

Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine als Begrenzungsstange wirkende Abgrenzungsleuchte,
  • Fig. 2 eine vergrößerte Ansicht von zwei aneinandergekuppelten Abgrenzungsleuchten, wobei der Kupplungsbereich im Schnitt dargestellt ist, und
  • Fig. 3 ein weiteres Anwendungsbeispiel der Leuchte zum Abgrenzen des Lichtraumprofiles eines Eisenbahngleises.
Show it:
  • 1 is a boundary light acting as a boundary rod,
  • Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of two coupled boundary lights, the coupling area is shown in section, and
  • Fig. 3 shows another application example of the lamp for delimiting the clearance profile of a railroad track.

Eine in Fig. 1 beschriebene Abgrenzungsleuchte 1 weist einen Leuchtkörper 2 auf, an dessen Enden 3,4 jeweils eine Kupplung 5 angeordnet ist. Um mehrere Leuchtkörper 2 miteinander verbinden zu können, ist am oberen Ende 3 des Leuchtkörpers 2 die Kupplung 5 als Kupplungsstecker 6 und am gegenüberliegenden unteren Ende 4 als Kupplungsdose 7 ausgebildet. Der Leuchtkörper 2 besteht aus einem schlauchförmigen, flexiblen und lichtdurchlässigen Material und ist zweckmäßigerweise in den gut sichtbaren Farben weiß, rot, grün, gelb oder orange ausgeführt. Der Leuchtkörper 2 kann zusätzlich noch fluoreszierende Partikel enthalten. In den Leuchtkörper 2 ist zu dessen Stabilisierung bzw. Versteifung ein Versteifungsprofil 8 eingebaut, welches in einer Ausnehmung 9 der Kupplung 5 Halt findet. Das eine dem Innendurchmesser des Leuchtkörpers 2 entsprechende Breite aufweisende Versteifungsprofil 8 hat eine fluoreszierende Oberfläche und dient gleichzeitig als Träger von Lampen 10 und von dazugehörigen elektrischen Leitungen 11, welche an einem Ende des Versteifungsprofiles 8 in einen elektrischen Stecker 12 bzw. am anderen Ende in eine elektrische Dose 13 münden. Am unteren Ende 4 des Leuchtkörpers 2 ist ein, einen Kupplungsstecker 6 aufweisendes Sockelelement 14 vorgesehen, welches mit einer Aufstandsfläche 15 verbunden ist. Die sich im Kupplungsstecker 6 des Sockelelementes 14 befindliche elektrische Dose 13 ist mit einem Kabel 16 verbunden, das bei Betrieb der Leuchte 1 an eine hier nicht dargestellte Stromquelle angeschlossen wird. Das Sockelelement 14 bildet somit den Grundbaustein an den dann je nach gewünschter Höhe der Begrenzungsstange nahezu beliebig viele Leuchtkörper 2 angesteckt werden können. Am dem Sockelelement 14 gegenüberliegenden Ende einer solchen Reihe von aneinandergekuppelten Leuchten 1 ist eine Abschlußkupplung 17 vorgesehen. Diese ist als Kupplungsdose 7 ausgeführt und wird einfach auf den Kupplungsstecker 6 des letzten Leuchtkörpers 2 aufgesetzt, und schließt diesen wasserdicht ab.A boundary light 1 described in FIG. 1 has a luminous element 2, at the ends 3, 4 of which a coupling 5 is arranged. In order to be able to connect a plurality of luminous elements 2 to one another, the coupling 5 is designed as a coupling plug 6 at the upper end 3 of the luminous element 2 and as a coupling socket 7 at the opposite lower end 4. The luminous element 2 consists of a tubular, flexible and translucent material and is expediently made in the easily visible colors white, red, green, yellow or orange. The luminous element 2 can additionally contain fluorescent particles. To stabilize or stiffen it, a stiffening profile 8 is installed in the luminous body 2, which profile 5 is held in a recess 9 in the coupling. The stiffening profile 8, which has a width corresponding to the inner diameter of the luminous element 2, has a fluorescent surface and at the same time serves as a support for lamps 10 and associated electrical lines 11, which at one end of the stiffening profile 8 into an electrical connector 12 or at the other end into one electrical box 13 open. At the lower end 4 of the luminous element 2 there is a base element 14, which has a coupling plug 6 and is connected to a contact surface 15. The electrical socket 13 located in the coupling plug 6 of the base element 14 is connected to a cable 16 which is connected to a power source (not shown here) when the lamp 1 is in operation. The base element 14 thus forms the basic module to which, depending on the desired height of the limiting rod, almost any number of luminous elements 2 can then be attached. At the base element 14 opposite end of such a row of coupled lights 1, a final coupling 17 is provided. This is designed as a coupling socket 7 and is simply placed on the coupling plug 6 of the last luminous element 2, and closes it watertight.

Um die Formstabilität der Leuchte 1 zu gewährleisten, besteht außer den bereits beschriebenen Versteifungsprofilen 8, die wahlweise durch Lösen einer Kupplung 5 entfernbar sind, noch eine andere Möglichkeit. Dadurch, daß das ganze System von Sockelement 14 und Leuchtkörpern 2 aus Sicherheitsgründen wasser- und damit auch luftdicht ausgeführt ist, kann man durch Aufbringen eines geringen Überdruckes in die Leuchte auf einfachste Weise Formstabilität erzielen. Dazu ist in der Abschlußkupplung 17 ein Druckluftventil 18 vorgesehen.In order to ensure the dimensional stability of the luminaire 1, there is another possibility besides the stiffening profiles 8 already described, which can optionally be removed by releasing a coupling 5. Because the entire system of sock element 14 and luminous elements 2 is designed to be water-tight and therefore air-tight for safety reasons, dimensional stability can be achieved in the simplest way by applying a slight excess pressure in the lamp. For this purpose, a compressed air valve 18 is provided in the final coupling 17.

In Fig. 2 ist der Bereich der als wasserdichte Steckkupplung ausgebildeten Kupplung 5 von zwei Leuchten 1 näher dargestellt. An beide Kupplungsteile, also Kupplungsstecker 6 und Kupplungsdose 7, ist der schlauchförmige Leuchtkörper 2 durch jeweils einen Schraubring 19 fest und dicht angepreßt. Der Kupplungsstecker 6 weist einen Dichtring 20 auf, welcher das Innere von Kupplung 5 und Leuchtkörpern 2 gegenüber der Umgebung abdichtet. Ein Eindringen von Wasser oder Schmutz bzw. Staub ist somit ausgeschlossen. Der Dichtring 20 ist an seinem äußeren Umfang gegen die Kupplungsdose 7 gepreßt. An dieser ist ein Verschlußring 21 längsverschiebbar befestigt, welcher einen in einer Nut 22 befindlichen Federring 23 aufweist. Beim Verbinden der Kupplung 5 wird zunächst der Kupplungsstecker 6 in die Kupplungsdose 7 eingeführt. Dann wird der Verschlußring 21 in Richtung Kupplungsstecker 6 verschoben. Durch einen Konus 24 am Kupplungsstecker 6 wird der Federring 23 gedehnt und rastet dann in einer Nut 25 am Kupplungsstecker 6 ein. Das Öffnen der Kupplung 5 erfolgt analog umgekehrt. Der Stecker 12 und die Dose 13 für die Kupplung der elektrischen Kabel 30 sind so in Kupplungsdose 7 und Kupplungsstecker 6 angeordnet, daß sie gleichzeitig bei dem beschriebenen Kupplungsvorgang verbunden werden.2 shows the area of the coupling 5, designed as a waterproof plug-in coupling, of two lamps 1 in more detail. On both clutches parts, ie coupling plug 6 and coupling socket 7, the tubular lamp body 2 is firmly and tightly pressed by a screw ring 19. The coupling plug 6 has a sealing ring 20 which seals the inside of the coupling 5 and the luminous elements 2 from the surroundings. This prevents water, dirt or dust from entering. The sealing ring 20 is pressed against the coupling socket 7 on its outer circumference. A locking ring 21 is fastened to this in a longitudinally displaceable manner and has a spring ring 23 located in a groove 22. When connecting the coupling 5, the coupling plug 6 is first inserted into the coupling socket 7. Then the locking ring 21 is moved in the direction of the coupling plug 6. The spring ring 23 is expanded by a cone 24 on the coupling plug 6 and then engages in a groove 25 on the coupling plug 6. The clutch 5 is opened in the opposite manner. The plug 12 and the socket 13 for the coupling of the electrical cables 30 are arranged in the coupling socket 7 and coupling plug 6 in such a way that they are connected at the same time in the coupling process described.

An den Schraubringen 29 sind jeweils ringförmige Befestigungselemente 26 vorgesehen. Diese dienen zur Aufhängung und Befestigung der Leuchte 1, besonders dann, wenn eine größere Anzahl von Leuchtkörpern 2 zu einer Leuchtkette zusammengekuppelt ist. Die Leuchte 1 wird dann mittels des Befestigungselementes 26 auf einfachste Weise über einen Haken 27 gehängt, welcher beispielsweise an einem Holzpflock 28 befestigt ist. Es ist auch möglich die Leuchte 1 mittels einer durch die Befestigungselemente 26 geführten und anschließend gespannten Schnur aufzuhängen.Annular fastening elements 26 are provided on the screw rings 29. These are used to suspend and fasten the lamp 1, especially when a larger number of luminous elements 2 are coupled together to form a light chain. The lamp 1 is then hung in the simplest manner by means of the fastening element 26 via a hook 27 which is fastened, for example, to a wooden stake 28. It is also possible to hang the lamp 1 by means of a cord that is guided through the fastening elements 26 and then tensioned.

Im Unterschied zu dem in Fig. 1 beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Leuchtkörper 2 hier mit einer Vielzahl kleiner Lampen 29 ausgestattet, welche durch ein Kabel 30 miteinander verbunden sind. Das Kabel 30 mündet wieder in Stekker 12 bzw. Dose 13, welche in der Kupplung 5 angeordnet sind.In contrast to the exemplary embodiment described in FIG. 1, the luminous elements 2 are here equipped with a large number of small lamps 29 which are connected to one another by a cable 30. The cable 30 again opens into the plug 12 or socket 13, which are arranged in the coupling 5.

Fig. 3 zeigt ein Anwendungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte 1 bei einer Gleisbaustelle. Ein aus zwei Gleisen 31,32 bestehender Gleiskörper 33 ist aus Schwellen 34 und Schienen 35 aufgebaut. In strichpunktierten Linien ist stark vereinfacht für jedes Gleis 31,32 ein Lichtraumprofil 36 eingezeichnet. Sind nun beispielsweise am Gleis 31 Arbeiten bei gleichzeitigem Zugverkehr auf Gleis 32 durchzuführen, so ist es aus Sicherheitsgründen unbedingt erforderlich den Gefahrenbereich - in diesem Fall das Lichtraumprofil 36 vom Gleis 32 - abzugrenzen. Dies wird durch folgende einfache Anordnung erzielt. Am Sockelelement 14 der Leuchte 1 ist ein senkrecht zur Längsrichtung der Leuchte 1 verlaufender Abstandhalter 37 angebracht, an dessen freiem Ende eine Klemmvorrichtung 38 vorgesehen ist. Diese Klemmvorrichtung 38 wird an dem Schienenfuß 39 der Schiene 33 befestigt. Dadurch, daß der Abstandhalter 37 dem horizontalen, senkrecht zur Gleslängsrichtung verlaufenden Abstand des Lichtraumprofiles 36 zur näher gelegenen Schiene 40 entspricht, wird der Lichtraumbereich durch diese Leuchten 1 genau abgegrenzt.Fig. 3 shows an application example of the lamp 1 according to the invention at a track construction site. A track body 33 consisting of two tracks 31, 32 is constructed from sleepers 34 and rails 35. In dash-dotted lines, a clearance profile 36 is drawn in for each track 31, 32 in a highly simplified manner. If, for example, work is to be carried out on track 31 with simultaneous train traffic on track 32, it is absolutely necessary for safety reasons to delimit the danger zone - in this case the clearance profile 36 from track 32. This is achieved by the following simple arrangement. A spacer 37, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the lamp 1, is attached to the base element 14 of the lamp 1, and a clamping device 38 is provided at its free end. This clamping device 38 is attached to the rail foot 39 of the rail 33. Characterized in that the spacer 37 corresponds to the horizontal, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the Gles longitudinal distance of the clearance profile 36 to the closer rail 40, the clearance area is precisely delimited by these lights 1.

Anstelle der hier beispielsweise detailliert beschriebenen Steck- oder Schnellkupplung sind natürlich alle anderen Arten von Kupplungen, beispielsweise auch eine Schraubverbindung, einsetzbar. Bedingt durch die konstruktive Gestaltung als Leuchtstab in unterschiedlichen Längen oder auch als wickelbares Schlauchmaterial mit Innenleuchten oder Versteifungsprofil können derartige Abgrenzungsleuchten tagsüber auch ohne Beleuchtung als gut sichtbare Baustellabgrenzung mit einer einem Absperrseil gleichen Wirkung dienen. Die Anwendung ist zusätzlich zu dem beschriebenen Gleisbaubereich auch in Baugruben, im Straßen-, Autobahn-, Tiefbau, usw. möglich.Instead of the plug-in or quick coupling described in detail here, of course, all other types of couplings, for example also a screw connection, can be used. Due to the constructive design as a light rod in different lengths or as a windable hose material with interior lights or stiffening profile, such boundary lights can also be used during the day without lighting as a clearly visible site boundary with the same effect as a cord. In addition to the track construction area described, it can also be used in construction pits, in road, highway, civil engineering, etc.
