Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a traffic sign, in particular a road or rail traffic sign.
  • Road signs are well known mounted on an associated support post which is generally vertical and sunk into the ground.
  • the panels of old design are made of metal, with a front face carrying the desired signaling pattern, behind which is provided one or two fixing jumper (s) whose shape is adapted to that of the cross section of the post- support (this section is generally rectangular, square or round).
  • a plastic sign has been produced, the structure of which makes it possible to have a sign pattern on both sides and the attachment of which is well protected with regard to external aggressions.
  • a sign made in two half-panels linked to each other by means of force fitting The two half-panels have internal stiffening partitions defining a passage channel associated with the support post on the one hand and supporting clamping means allowing the fixing of the panel to the support post on the other hand.
  • Such a panel is illustrated by document EP-A-0 575 224 which emanates from the applicant.
  • clamping means consisting of an angle iron arranged on a partition substantially transverse to the support post, and of a curved blade, one end of which bears against the angle iron and the other end of which is arranged for come into contact with the support post to wedge it, under the effect of an operating member such as a bolt cooperating with the curved blade and whose head is in abutment against the partitioning.
  • the clamping blade must be sufficiently tight so that the jamming of the support post is really satisfactory.
  • a tightening which must be relatively large, it has been observed that the curved blade exerts on the support post and the angle iron a significant force on a practically linear bearing area, so that the support post is marked by the corresponding end of the blade, while the angle iron or the support partition risks yielding under the effect of the force exerted by the other end of this blade.
  • the subject of the invention is a signaling panel intended to be mounted on a support post, comprising two half-panels pressed against one another and linked to one another by means of interlocking with homologous force, and having internal stiffening partitions, including first partitions which define a passage channel associated with the support post, and second partitions which support clamping means allowing the panel to be fixed to the support post, said means being integrated into the panel while being accessible by the periphery thereof to be operated.
  • the clamping means comprise a block mounted on the second partitions, a support member mounted on the block for sliding transversely to the passage channel associated with the support post between a clamping position in which the member d support is supported on the support post and a release position in which this support member is spaced from the support post, a control member disposed between the block and the support member to control the sliding of this support member and ensuring a blocking thereof in its two positions, an operating member of the control member accessible from the periphery of the panel, and a strapping belt surrounding the support post and coupled to the block.
  • control member is mounted to slide relative to the block along a first axis by cooperating with a cam surface of the support member which extends along a second axis inclined by compared to the first axis.
  • the operating member is a threaded rod rotatably mounted on the support member or the block and cooperating with a tapping of the control member.
  • control member is produced in the form of a clamping block mounted to slide on the one hand on a slide secured to the block and having an axis constituting the aforementioned first axis, and on the other hand on a slide integral with the support member and forming the aforementioned cam surface, the latter slide having an axis constituting the aforementioned second axis.
  • control member is produced in the form of a finger mounted to slide in a light formed in the support member and forming the aforementioned cam surface, this light extending along the aforementioned second axis, said finger further having a transverse thread which cooperates with the threaded rod according to the first aforementioned axis.
  • Figures 1 to 3 illustrate a sign 1 according to the invention, mounted on a support post or mast 3.
  • the support post 3 here has a rectangular cross section, in accordance with a widely used embodiment, but this does not constitute in no way a limitation within the scope of the invention.
  • the signaling panel 1 is produced in two half-panels 5, 7 which are pressed against one another and linked to each other by means of interlocking force with homologous force 9, 11.
  • Each half panel 5, 7 has stiffening partitions 13 which extend towards the other half-panel up to a median plane corresponding to a free edge of contact 15 between the two half-panels 5, 7.
  • peripheral partitions 13.1 which extend over almost the entire periphery of each half-panel, with the natural exception of the zone corresponding to the passage channel 17 associated with the support post, partitions 13.2 which define a passage channel 17 associated with the support post 3, and partitions 13.3 and 13.4 which support clamping means 19 allowing the panel 1 to be fixed to the support post 3.
  • the two half-panels 5, 7 here have an identical structure, which makes it possible to considerably simplify the manufacturing, storage and assembly operations.
  • the force fitting means 9, 11 are arranged symmetrically.
  • these force fitting means are constituted by male studs 9 and by complementary female studs 11, arranged projecting on the inner face of each half-panel 5, 7 perpendicular thereto.
  • the clamping means 19 are arranged in the lower part of the half-panels 5, 7, so as to be accessible from below the traffic sign 1, in the vicinity of the passage channel 17 associated with the support post. 3.
  • the partitions 13.3 and 13.4 support the clamping means 19 and are arranged in the lower part of the half-panels 5, 7, on each side of an axis X corresponding to the central axis of the passage channel 17 associated with the post- support.
  • the clamping means 19 will in practice be provided on one side of the sign, insofar as a direct blocking is carried out on the support post.
  • the adjacent partitions 13.3 and 13.4 define a support platform 23 extending substantially transversely to the passage channel 17 associated with the support post. This platform 23 provides support for the clamping means 19.
  • the adjacent partitions 13.3 and 13.4 further define an intermediate space 24 and are connected to each other, at the level of the platform 23, by an intermediate web 25.
  • the intermediate web 25 has a free edge set back relative to this plane, so that, when the two half-panels are assembled, the intermediate webs 25 of these two half-panels define a light.
  • FIGs 1, 4 and 5 there is shown a first embodiment of the clamping means 19.
  • These means comprise a block 27 disposed between the platform 23 and the partitions 13.7 resting, by its face opposite to upper legs 31, on the platform 23.
  • a strapping belt 29 surrounds the support post 3 and the block 27.
  • This belt is here produced in the form of a metal strip folded in a U, the ends 29.1 of which are folded one towards each other and fixed on a recess portion 27.1 of the external face 27.2 of the block 27 which is located opposite the support post 3.
  • Each of the ends 29.1 has in this case a bore which cooperates with studs in projection 30 of the block 27.
  • the strapping belt 29 is thus coupled to the block 27.
  • the block 27 is equipped with two tabs 31 whose free edge is engaged in a groove delimited by two flanges protruding 33 from s partitions 13.7.
  • a support member 35 is mounted on the block 27, via a control member 37, for sliding between a clamping position in which the support member 35 is supported, by a face of support 35.1, on the support post 3 to ensure the locking thereof, and a release position in which this support member is spaced from the support post 3.
  • the control member 37 is disposed between the block 27 and the support member 35 for controlling the sliding of this support member and ensuring a blocking of the latter in each of its two positions.
  • This control member is here produced in the form of an intermediate clamping wedge 37 mounted to slide on the one hand on a slide 39 formed in the block 27 along a first sliding axis 41, and on the other hand on a slide 43 provided in the support member 35 along a second sliding axis 45 inclined relative to the first axis 41.
  • the first sliding axis 41 extends substantially vertically, that is to say parallel to the support post 3, and the second sliding axis 45 is inclined by about thirty degrees relative to the first axis 41.
  • the angle of inclination between these two axes noted a in FIG. 4, will be between 10 and 50 degrees, in preferably being close to 30 degrees.
  • the slides 39 and 43 are here in the form of a dovetail and, to cooperate with these slides, the wedge 37 has edges 47 and 49 in the form of a dovetail complementary to the slides 39 and 43. These edges form between them an angle equal to the angle a that the axes 41 and 45 of the slides 39 and 43 form between them.
  • the edges 47 and 49 of the wedge 37 are thus mounted in the slides 39 and 43 to slide along the axes 41 and 45.
  • the support member 35 is supported on the platform 23 and therefore slides transversely to the support post 3 when the wedge 37 slides in the slides 39 and 43.
  • a threaded rod 51 is mounted in a half-bore 53 without thread of the support member 35, to rotate along the axis 45, and cooperates with a half-thread 55 formed in the edge 49 of the wedge 37, in look of the half-hole 53.
  • This threaded rod has an operating head 51.1 forming a shoulder which can rotate in abutment against a face 35.2 of the support member 35. This head is accessible by the periphery of the panel 1, through the space 24 located between the partitions 13.3 and 13.4.
  • the rod 51 is equipped with a self-locking nut 54 which can rotate with the rod 51 bearing against a face 35.3 of the support member 35 to retain the rod 51
  • the threaded rod 51 thus constitutes a member for operating the wedge 37.
  • the head 51.1 of the rod 51 is operated by rotating this around the axis 45 in the appropriate direction.
  • the wedge 37 then slides in the direction of the head 51.1 by bearing by its edge 47 on the slide 39 of the block 27 and by cooperating by its edge 49 with the slide 43 of the support member 35, the bottom of which forms a cam surface for the edge 49, in order to push the support member 35 towards the support post 3.
  • the face 35.1 of the support member 35 comes to bear against the support post 3, it exerts on this a transverse force, and the strapping belt 29 opposes the distance of the block 27 relative to the support post 3, so that the support member 35 is held in abutment against the support post 3 and blocks it in the passage channel 17. If it is desired to unlock the panel 1, it suffices to rotate the rod 51 in the opposite direction to move the support member 35 away from the support post 3.
  • FIGS 6 and 7 there is illustrated a second embodiment of the clamping means.
  • These means which are here designated by the reference 59, comprise, as before, a block which here consists of a metal strip 61 folded in a U and housed between the partitions 13.7 and the platform 23.
  • a strapping belt 63 surrounds the support post 3 and the block 61.
  • this belt is here produced in the form of a metal strip folded in a U, the ends 63.1 of which are folded one towards the other and fixed by a means such as screws or welding points symbolized by dashed lines 65 on the face 61.1 of the block 61 which is located opposite the support post 3, so that this belt 63 is coupled to the block 61.
  • a support member 67 is mounted inside the block 61 to slide between a clamping position in which this support member is supported by a support face 67.1 on the support post 3 to ensure the locking of this one, and a release position in which this the support member is spaced from the support post 3.
  • the support member 67 is here produced in the form of a metal strip folded in a U whose ends extend at equal distance from the support post 3 and constitute the face 35.1 above. In the example illustrated, the ends 67.1 are toothed to achieve better attachment.
  • the two branches of the U-shaped strip forming the support member 67 have slots 69 identical and arranged opposite one another, extending along an axis 70 substantially inclined relative to the X axis of the support post 3.
  • transverse control finger 71 In the two openings 69 is slidably mounted a transverse control finger 71.
  • This finger here produced in the form of a solid cylinder, has a transverse thread 73 inside which is engaged a threaded rod 75.
  • This threaded rod is rotatably mounted on the block 61 along an axis 76 substantially parallel to the axis X of the support post 3, passing through orifices 61.1 formed in each of the two branches of the U-shaped strip forming the block 61, and through other apart the light located between the webs 25 and an orifice 76 'formed in the partitions 13.7 opposite the orifice 61.1.
  • This threaded rod has an operating head 75.1 forming a shoulder which can rotate in abutment against the web 25.
  • this operating head is accessible from the periphery of the panel 1, through the space 24 located between the partitions 13.3 and 13.4.
  • the rod 75 is equipped with a stop washer 77 which can rotate with the rod 75 in abutment against the partitioning 13.7 to axially retain the rod 75.
  • the head 75.1 of the rod 75 is maneuvered by rotating the latter around the axis 76 in the appropriate direction.
  • the finger 71 then slides in the direction of the head 75.1 while cooperating with the contours of the slots 69 which form a cam surface for the finger 71.
  • the support member 67 is thus pushed towards the support post 3 to exert a transverse force thereon.
  • the strapping belt 63 opposes the feedback force exerted by the support post 3 on the block 61 by means of the support member 67, the finger 71 and the rod 75, so that the support member 67 is held in abutment against the support post and blocks the latter in the passage channel.
  • a rotation of the rod 75 in the opposite direction causes the support member 67 to separate from the support post 3 and the panel to be released.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiments which have just been described, but on the contrary encompasses any variant incorporating, with equivalent means, the essential characteristics set out above.
  • a signaling panel in which the clamping means are arranged in the lower part of the panel and on one side of the post.
  • provision may be made for having identical partitions in the upper part of the panel, on one side and / or on the other side of the X axis.
  • double tightening for example by providing clamping means arranged in the lower part of the axis X, and identical clamping means arranged in the upper part on the other side of this axis.
  • the arrangement in the lower part remains preferable insofar as it allows good protection against external aggressions, whether bad weather or malicious (the accessibility zone of the clamping means for their operation being also relatively discreet).
  • the operating member is a threaded rod rotatably mounted on the support member or the block and cooperating with a tapping of the control member.
  • the threaded rod in rotation on the control member and to provide an associated thread on the support member or the block.
