Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif d'interdiction d'accès aux voies privées et aux espaces de stationnement réservés.The present invention relates to a device prohibition of access to private roads and spaces reserved parking.

Par les brevets FR-A-2 664 921 et EP-A-0 426 582 il est connu de condamner les voies privées, en particulier celles destinées aux services publics et certains espaces de stationnement réservés par des bornes ou des arceaux escamotables articulés, dont la manoeuvre, depuis une position une position verticale vers une position horizontale et vice versa, s'effectue au moyen d'un élément de blocage, par exemple une serrure à clef.By patents FR-A-2 664 921 and EP-A-0 426 582 it is known to condemn private roads, especially those intended for public services and certain spaces parking reserved by bollards or hoops hinged retractable, whose operation, from a position a vertical position to a horizontal position and vice versa, is carried out by means of a blocking element, for example a key lock.

Ces dispositifs présentent de nombreux inconvénients, à savoir qu'ils sont peu résistants, compliquer à démonter pour leur maintenance et peuvent causer des dégâts aux véhicules lorsque ceux-ci entrent en contact avec eux lors de manoeuvres. Par ailleurs, ils ne sont pas inviolables et ne comportent pas d'arrêt mécanique infranchissable. C'est ainsi que le dispositif décrit dans le brevet FR-A-2 664 921 ne comportent pas de jambes de force et ses moyens amortisseurs sont situés près du sol, tandis que la borne rabattable décrite dans le brevet EP-A-0 426 582 ne possèdent pas d'amortisseur d'impact.These devices have many disadvantages, except know that they are not very resistant, complicate to disassemble for maintenance and can cause damage to vehicles when these come into contact with them during maneuvers. Furthermore, they are not inviolable and do not have no impassable mechanical stop. This is how that the device described in patent FR-A-2,664,921 does not have no struts and its shock absorbing means are located close to the ground, while the folding terminal described in patent EP-A-0 426 582 do not have shock absorber.

L'invention vise à pallier ces inconvénients et propose un arceau escamotable selon l'objet de la revendication indépendante. Elle concerne un dispositif d'interdiction d'accès constitué par un arceau dont les extrémités inférieures sont respectivement articulées dans des semelles fixées au sol servant elles-mêmes d'articulation à des chapes formant jambes de force aux montants de l'arceau et associées par un tube dans lequel une tringlerie, manoeuvrée par une serrure à clef ou à combinaisons, provoque le blocage ou le déblocage de l'arceau apte, ainsi, à se mouvoir entre une position verticale de fermeture et une position horizontale d'ouverture.The invention aims to overcome these drawbacks and proposes a retractable arch according to the subject of the independent claim. She relates to a device for preventing access consisting of a hoop whose lower ends are respectively articulated in soles fixed to the ground serving themselves joint to struts forming struts to amounts of the arch and associated by a tube in which a linkage, operated by a key lock or combinations, causes blocking or unblocking of the roll bar able, thus, to move between a vertical position of closing and a horizontal opening position.

Cet arceau est réalisé en deux parties associées par des ressorts à boudin autorisant, en position verticale de fermeture, une flexion de la partie supérieure de l'arceau lorsqu'il est buté par un véhicule lequel, de ce fait, ne subit aucun dommage, tandis que la partie inférieure de l'arceau est solidement ancrée au sol et offre une hauteur suffisante pour éviter qu'elle soit franchie par un véhicule. Enfin, les moyens de fixation au sol de la partie inférieure de l'arceau sont disposés de telle manière qu'ils n'autorisent pas d'y accéder.This hoop is made in two parts associated by coil springs allowing, in a vertical position of closure, bending of the upper part of the arch when it is hit by a vehicle which, therefore, does not suffers no damage, while the lower part of the hoop is firmly anchored to the ground and provides height sufficient to prevent it from being crossed by a vehicle. Finally, the means of fixing to the ground of the lower part of the headband are arranged in such a way that they do not allow access.

De toute façon, l'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description qui va suivre d'un exemple, non restrictif, de réalisation d'un arceau escamotable en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés dans lesquels:

  • La figure 1 est une vue de côté de l'arceau dont il s'agit en position verticale d'interdiction d'accès,
  • La figure 2 en est une vue de face et,
  • La figure 3 est une vue en coupe transversale du tube contenant la tringlerie de verrouillage de l'arceau.
  • In any case, the invention will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows of a non-restrictive example of making a retractable hoop with reference to the appended schematic drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of the hoop in question in the vertical position preventing access,
  • Figure 2 is a front view and,
  • Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the tube containing the hoop locking linkage.
  • En se reportant aux figures 1 et 2, l'arceau est composé de deux éléments tubulaires 1,2 reliés par deux ressorts 3 sertis dans les extrémités de la partie supérieure de l'arceau et celles de la partie inférieure.Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the roll bar is composed of two tubular elements 1,2 connected by two springs 3 set in the ends of the part upper part of the roll bar and those of the lower part.

    La partie supérieure 1 de l'arceau est formée d'un tube cintré en U, tandis que la partie inférieure est formée de deux tubes dont l'extrémité supérieure, entourée d'une bague 4, pénètre entre les ailes d'une chape 5 où elle y est retenue par une ceinture 6 formée d'une tige soudée aux ailes de ladite chape.The upper part 1 of the arch is formed by a tube bent in U, while the lower part is formed of two tubes, the upper end of which is surrounded of a ring 4, enters between the wings of a yoke 5 where it is retained there by a belt 6 formed of a rod welded to the wings of said yoke.

    L'extrémité inférieure de chaque tube 2 est articulée, par un axe 7, entre les côtés latéraux d'une semelle 8 comportant une plaque 9 percée d'un orifice 10 pour sa fixation au sol au moyen d'une vis non représentée.The lower end of each tube 2 is articulated, by an axis 7, between the lateral sides of a sole 8 comprising a plate 9 pierced with an orifice 10 for fixing to the ground by means of a screw not represented.

    De part et d'autre des côtés latéraux de la semelle 8, s'articule aussi, par un axe 11, l'autre extrémité de la chape 5 dont l'âme est percée d'un orifice 12.On either side of the lateral sides of the sole 8, is also articulated by an axis 11, the other end of the yoke 5, the core of which is pierced with an orifice 12.

    La semelle 8 de fixation au sol de l'arceau est un parallèlépipède tubulaire percé d'un orifice 13 dont l'axe correspond à celui de l'orifice 10 de passage de la vis de fixation.The sole 8 for fixing to the ground of the arch is a tubular parallelepiped pierced with an orifice 13 of which the axis corresponds to that of the orifice 10 for passage of the fixing screw.

    Les deux chapes 5 sont reliées par un tube tranversal 14 dont les extrémités sont rendues solidaires desdites chapes par soudure. Comme l'illustre la figure 3, ce tube contient une tringlerie 15 actionnée par une serrure médiane 16 de type connu. Les extrémités libres de cette tringlerie comportent chacune un ergot 17 logé dans une douille 18 et repoussé en saillie par un ressort 19. The two yokes 5 are connected by a transverse tube 14 whose ends are made integral with said screeds by welding. As illustrated in Figure 3, this tube contains a linkage 15 actuated by a lock median 16 of known type. The free ends of this linkages each have a lug 17 housed in a socket 18 and pushed back by a spring 19.

    Ces ergots traversent une aile des chapes 5 et sont chacun susceptibles de pénétrer dans une lumière 20 de forme correspondante pratiquée dans les tubes 2 constituant la partie supérieure de l'arceau.These pins pass through a wing of the yokes 5 and are each likely to enter a light 20's corresponding shape practiced in the tubes 2 constituting the upper part of the hoop.

    Comme le montre la figure 1, on constate que, lorsque l'arceau est en position verticale, les éléments de la partie inférieure, à savoir, les tubes 2, les semelles 8 et les chapes 5 sont en butée les uns contre les autres au niveau des points d'appui A-B-C constitués en A par la rencontre de la bague 4 et de l'âme de la chape 5; en B de la rencontre du tube 2 et de la face supérieure de la semelle 8 et en C par la rencontre du tube 2 et de la ceinture 6 de la chape 5.As shown in Figure 1, we see that when the roll bar is in vertical position, the elements of the lower part, namely, tubes 2, soles 8 and the yokes 5 are in abutment against each other at the support points A-B-C formed at A by the meeting of the ring 4 and the core of the yoke 5; at B of the meeting of the tube 2 and the upper face of the sole 8 and at C by the meeting of the tube 2 and from the belt 6 from the yoke 5.

    Lorsque l'arceau est en position verticale, les montants tubulaires 2 sont verrrouillés par les ergots 17 pénétrant dans les lumières 20, ce qui solidarise l'ensemble chape 5, tube 2 et semelle 8.When the roll bar is in the vertical position, the tubular uprights 2 are locked by the pins 17 entering the lights 20, which secures the yoke 5, tube 2 and sole 8 assembly.

    Pour amener l'arceau en position horizontale, on a pris soin auparavant de déverrouiller les ergots 17 en manoeuvrant la serrure 16, ce qui désolidarise les tubes 2 des chapes 5. Les ensembles tubes 2 et chapes 5 peuvent alors osciller autour des axes 7 et 11 jusqu'à une position horizontale dans laquelle les éléments 2, 8 et 5 s'escamotent les uns dans les autres.To bring the roll bar to a horizontal position, we previously took care to unlock the lugs 17 by operating the lock 16, which separates the tubes 2 of the yokes 5. The tubes 2 and yokes 5 assemblies can then oscillate around axes 7 and 11 up to a horizontal position in which the elements 2, 8 and 5 retract into each other.

    En position verticale, on constate que, grâce au déport des orifices 12 des chapes 5 et 13 des semelles 8, il n'est pas possible d'y introduire un outil pour atteindre la vis de fixation au sol de l'arceau.In the vertical position, we see that, thanks to the offset of the orifices 12 of the yokes 5 and 13 of the soles 8, it is not possible to insert a tool into it reach the hoop fixing screw.
