Definitions

  • the invention relates to a removable lockable terminal used in spaces to mark out and organize pedestrian traffic and parking for cars and other mobiles.
  • It relates more particularly to the removable terminals which can be removed to release the passage or to clear the ground, for example to carry out temporary constructions such than podium or marquee.
  • bollards must meet many safety rules. They do not must not be able to be removed by an unauthorized person to guarantee their function, and especially to avoid that the well of the base, whose mouth is flush with the ground level, constitutes a source of accident for pedestrians.
  • FR-A-2 630 169 describes a lockable removable terminal comprising a base sealable in the ground with a vertical cylindrical well capable of receiving a tubular barrel projecting downwards from a terminal sole and from the barrel locking means in the base, the base comprising, on the one hand, in its upper and outer part, an oriel the radial provided with a lower bearing for the rotor of a swivel bolt and an upper bearing for the end piece a removable rotor actuation key. If the bolt can lock the terminal and of the cover, this locking is not secure since the key can be removed with the bolt in a position where it does not lock. As a result, the terminal or the cover can thus be dismantled by releasing the well with the risk of constituting a source of accidents.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks by providing a demountable bollard provided with locking means opposing the removal of any one of its elements, terminal or cover, for any person not authorized and eliminating the risks consecutive in the absence of a cover after extraction of the terminal.
  • the base comprises, on the one hand, in the bottom its vertical well, a vertical housing capable of receiving all or part of the cover, on the other hand, and projecting from the cylindrical internal face of its well, vertical positioning ribs, and moreover, in his ear, means for imprisoning the key in the unlocked position, while the terminal barrel has a lower flange with radial notches capable of cooperate with the ribs of the well and laterally of a radial fin capable of coming under the pivoting trajectory of the bolt, and that the cover comprises, near its peripheral edge, on the one hand, positioning fingers projecting downwards and capable of cooperating with one of the vertical ribs of the well, and, on the other hand, a keeper capable of receiving the end of the bolt.
  • the cover can be stored inside the base when not in use, which allows, when extracting the terminal, to shut off very quickly the well of this base. When replacing the terminal, the cover is engaged again in the base housing. This arrangement simplifies the task of the maintenance personnel and considerably reduces the risk of accidents.
  • the cover is locked by the same means as those locking the terminal, which prevents its extraction by an unauthorized person.
  • the rotor of the pivoting bolt comprises a head which, projecting axially in the upper bearing for the tip of the key, has cross section an asymmetrical profile complementary to that of the internal end piece, while the upper bearing has at least one longitudinal groove which, opening in a housing provided for the bolt between the two bearings, allows the passage of at least a lug projecting radially from the tip of the key.
  • the particular profile of the rotor head is opposed to its actuation by keys standard of the trade, while the lug is opposed to any extraction of the key when its end piece was engaged in the upper bearing and pivoted to bring the mechanism into unlock position.
  • This constructive arrangement therefore does not allow the key to be extracted when the mechanism is brought into the locking position and therefore incites personnel wishing to recover their key, after extracting the terminal, put the cover in place and lock.
  • this lockable removable terminal is composed of a terminal 2, the sole 3 of which is integral with a tubular barrel 4, of smaller diameter than that of the sole, and a base 5 sealable in the ground and comprising an axial well 6 for receiving of barrel 4 of the base.
  • This base can also receive a cover 7. It is provided a locking mechanism actuated by a removable key 8.
  • the base 5 comprises, at its upper part, and as shown in Figure 5, a radial ear 10 projecting outward.
  • this ear and provided with a upper bearing 12 and a lower bearing 13 for the rotor 14 of the locking, constituted here by a rotary bolt 15 rotated by the head 14a of the rotor 14.
  • This bolt is disposed, in part, in a housing 16 formed between the two bearings 12 and 13.
  • the head 14a forms an axial projection in the upper bearing 12.
  • This head has, in cross section, a non-symmetrical shape or not compatible with the shapes standardized traditional keys, so as to oppose its rotational drive by an unsuitable tool. It is obvious that the shape of this head is complementary to the internal profile of the tip 8a of the key 8.
  • the key 8 is, moreover, provided with at least one and in this case two lugs 17 which can reach the housing 16 of the ear 10 thanks to vertical grooves 11 formed in the bearing 12, visible in FIG. 5.
  • the vertical well 6 of the base is extended beyond its bottom 6a by a vertical housing 18, arranged diametrically and capable of containing all or part of the cover 7. As shown in Figure 12, this housing is capable of receiving at least the lower half cover 7, the other half of which is housed partly in the barrel 4 of terminal 2.
  • the cover has near its peripheral edge, on the one hand, two positioning fingers 19 projecting downwards and on the other hand, a cavity 20 forming a keeper for the bolt 15.
  • the fingers 19 are diametrically opposite the keeper 20.
  • the edges opposite 19a of the two fingers form a light flared downwards.
  • Figures 6 to 8 show that, when the cover is in the housing 18, it is positioned with its keeper 20 facing the bottom and so that his two fingers 19 are positioned on either side of one of the vertical ribs 22 projecting inside the barrel 4 of the terminal 2.
  • the base 5 comprises, projecting from the internal face of its well 6, and as shown in FIG. 5, several vertical ribs 23 and 24.
  • the housing 18 for the cover has, at its bottom, a clearance 25 for angular positioning of the keeper 20 of the cover.
  • the barrel 4 of terminal 2 has a flange 26 which has radial notches 23a and 24a corresponding to the ribs 23 and 24 of well 6 and intended to ensure the angular positioning of this terminal when it is put in place in this barrel. This positioning is necessary to orient, relative to the device locking, a radial fin 27 projecting from the barrel of the terminal and which, as shown Figures 6 and 7 is intended to cooperate with the rotary bolt 15 of the mechanism locking.
  • the barrel 4 is provided with two cutouts 28, diametrically and opposite facilitating the passage of the upper part of the cover when this barrel is placed in the base.
  • the housing 12a of the bearing 12, formed in the ear 10 of the base is normally closed by a plug 30, as shown in FIG. 6.
  • the cover is in turn extract (figure 10), then placed on the mouth of well 6.
  • it is angularly positioned so that the two fingers 19 are arranged on the side and on the other side of the rib 23 projecting inside the barrel, then is pressed.
  • the sloping edges 19a of the fingers 19 cooperate with the rib 23 to ensure precise angular positioning of the cover, so that its keeper 20 comes in perfect coincidence with the path of the bolt 15.
  • the bolt is returned to the locked position, the key 8 is extracted and the plug 30 is replaced.
