Definitions

  • This invention relates to a unit which serves as a barrier or obstruction for parking spaces.
  • an obstruction or barrier unit for protecting a parking space, the unit comprising an obstruction member arranged to move between raised and lowered positions, an actuator arranged to receive fluid under pressure to move the obstruction from one said position to the other, means for storing said fluid under pressure, valve means arranged to be remotely controlled to allow said fluid to flow from the storage means to the actuator, and means responsive to depression by the wheels of a vehicle to recharge the storage means.
  • the obstruction member is spring-biassed towards its lowered position but is held in its raised position by fluid introduced into the actuator and held against escape.
  • the obstruction member is then lowered by remotely-controlling the valve means to allow fluid to be expelled from the actuator: preferably the expelled fluid flows to a second storage means.
  • the valve means is remotely-controlled to allow fluid from the primary storage means to flow into the actuator.
  • the primary storage means operates at substantially higher pressures than the secondary storage means.
  • each storage means comprises a cylinder having a spring-loaded plunger.
  • the recharging means comprises one or more compressible chambers disposed within the unit under a pad over which the vehicle wheels pass. Under compression of these chambers, the fluid within them is forced into the primary storage means. Once the vehicle has passed over the unit, the compressed chambers are restored by receiving fluid from the secondary storage means.
  • barrier or obstruction unit of this invention is of relatively simple construction and is straightforward to operate. In particular it does not require connection to an external power source.
  • the unit which serves as a barrier or obstruction to protect a reserved car parking space.
  • the unit comprises a flat, generally rectangular body 10 for bolting in place on the ground, and a triangular obstruction member 12 which is hinged adjacent the front edge of the flat body 10: in use the member 12 pivots between a raised position (shown in Figure 1) and a lowered position, in which it lies flat on the top of the body 10.
  • the top of the body 10 is formed with a rectangular aperture into which a flexible pad 14 is fitted, for a purpose which will be described below.
  • the edges of the body 10 are chamfered as shown.
  • a strut 16 is hinged at one end to a mid-point of the obstruction member 12 and at its other end to the piston of an actuator cylinder 18 which is positioned within the body 10, extending from front-to-rear of the latter.
  • a spring 20 acts on the lower end of the strut 16 and urges this end of the strut rearwardly of the unit, so as to bias the member 12 towards its lowered position, flush with the top of the body 10.
  • the interior of actuator cylinder 18 is connected via two solenoid-operated valves 21,22 and respective one-way valves 23,24 to respective storage cylinders 25,26: it will be noted that one-way valves 23,24 are directed oppositely to each other.
  • Two compressible chambers 27 are positioned under the flexible pad 14 of the unit, and are connected together and via oppositely-directed one-way valves 28,29 to the storage cylinders 25 and 26 respectively.
  • the unit further comprises a battery-powered electronic control system 30 for the solenoid valves 21,22: the car driver authorised to use the parking space has a controller for remotely operating the unit.
  • the unit includes a solar panel arrangement for recharging the batteries of the electronic control system 30.
  • the actuator cylinder 18 is filled with fluid under pressure so as to hold its piston in its retracted position against the bias of the spring 20, and the solenoid valves 21 and 22 are closed to maintain the fluid pressure within the cylinder 18.
  • the driver remotely operates the control system 30 to open the solenoid valve 21: fluid then flows from within the cylinder 18 via one-way valve 23 and into the storage cylinder 25, as the spring 20 acts to extend the piston of the actuator cylinder 18 and lower the obstruction member 12.
  • the solenoid valve 21 then closes.
  • the driver is then able to drive over the unit: in so doing, the car wheels ride over the flexible pad 14 and compress the fluid chambers 27; this expels fluid from the compressed chambers 27, and this fluid passes via the one-way valve 29 into the storage cylinder 26.
  • the latter cylinder comprises a spring-loaded plunger which is depressed as the fluid is forced into the cylinder.
