Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un panneau de signalisation routière, présentant un socle ou support recevant un élément d'indication.The invention relates more particularly to a panel of road signs, presenting a base or support receiving an element of indication.
Ces supports sont généralement posés sur le sol (routes, autoroutes, rues, trottoirs, bas-côtés de la chaussée) et, par la surface relativement importante des éléments indicateurs exposée aux vents et courants d'air, doivent être lestés avec des charges suffisamment importantes pour éviter tout mouvement ou glissement.These supports are generally placed on the ground (roads, highways, streets, sidewalks, aisles) and, by the surface relatively significant indicator elements exposed to winds and drafts, must be ballasted with sufficiently large loads to avoid any movement or slipping.
De plus, afin de faciliter le stockage et le transport, l'ensemble du panneau doit être repliable et d'un poids relativement faible afin de faciliter les manipulations. De ce fait, ils sont plus sensibles au vent et pour les maintenir en place, il est nécessaire de les lester.In addition, to facilitate storage and transport, the entire panel should be foldable and relatively light in weight to facilitate manipulations. As a result, they are more sensitive to wind and for keep in place, it is necessary to ballast them.
Généralement, ces lests sont constitués par des sacs de sable reposant sur le piétement du panneau, ou par des socles en béton sur lesquels sont fixés les panneaux.Generally, these weights consist of sandbags resting on the base of the panel, or by concrete bases on which are attached the panels.
On conçoit que ces solutions ne sont pas efficaces et rationnelles étant donné qu'elles nécessitent des moyens de lestage indépendants.We can see that these solutions are not efficient and rational since they require independent ballast means.
L'invention s'est fixée pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients, de manière simple, sûre, efficace et rationnelle.The object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks, simple, safe, efficient and rational way.
Le problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est de réaliser un panneau de signalisation dont le socle est conformé pour assurer une très grande stabilité à l'élément d'indication notamment en cas de grand vent en lui évitant tous risques de chute tout en permettant de présenter ledit élément d'indication d'une manière inclinée, conformément aux exigences du code de la route.The problem that the invention proposes to solve is to achieve a traffic sign whose base is shaped to ensure a very high stability of the display element especially in case of strong wind in avoiding him any risk of falling while allowing to present said indication element inclined, as required of the highway code.
Pour résoudre un tel problème, il a été conçu et mis au point un panneau de signalisation remarquable en ce que :
- le socle se présente sous la forme de deux éléments tubulaires articulés sur une partie support,
- la partie support présente des moyens de fixation d'une lame ressort destinée à recevoir l'élément d'indication,
- chaque élément articulé est muni d'une butée destinée à venir en appui sur la partie support, afin d'interdire le repliage dudit élément articulé vers le haut,
- chaque élément articulé est muni d'une griffe antiglissement destinée à coopérer avec le sol pour éviter le glissement du panneau sous l'effet d'un effort.
- the base is in the form of two tubular elements articulated on a support part,
- the support part has means for fixing a leaf spring intended to receive the indication element,
- each articulated element is provided with a stop intended to come to bear on the support part, in order to prohibit the folding of said articulated element upwards,
- each articulated element is provided with an anti-slip claw intended to cooperate with the ground to prevent the panel from sliding under the effect of a force.
L'invention est exposée ci-après plus en détail à l'aide des figures des dessins annexés dans lesquels :
- la figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective d'un support selon l'invention,
- la figure 2 représente les butées limitant le pliage et les griffes d'antiglissement,
- la figure 3 représente les butées, les griffes, le positionnement de la lame et son blocage sur le support central.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a support according to the invention,
- FIG. 2 represents the stops limiting the folding and the anti-slip claws,
- Figure 3 shows the stops, the claws, the positioning of the blade and its blocking on the central support.
Comme le montre notamment la figure, 1, le panneau est constitué d'un socle (S) sur lequel est fixé, par l'intermédiaire d'un organe ressort (2), un élément de signalisation (7).As shown in particular in Figure 1, the panel is made up a base (S) on which is fixed, by means of a spring member (2), a signaling element (7).
Le socle comprend un piétement composé de deux parties (3 et 3') articulées chacune sur un support central (1). Chaque partie articulée (3 et 3') est munie d'une butée haute (4) pour limiter le pliage vers le haut et d'une griffe d'antiglissement (5) destinée à coopérer avec le sol pour éviter le glissement du panneau sous l'effet d'un effort ou d'une force extérieure.The base includes a base composed of two parts (3 and 3 ') each articulated on a central support (1). Each articulated part (3 and 3 ') is provided with a high stop (4) to limit upward folding and with a anti-slip claw (5) intended to cooperate with the ground to avoid sliding of the panel under the effect of an external force or force.
L'élément de signalisation est supporté par une lame (2) formant ressort, et fixée sur le support central (1).The signaling element is supported by a blade (2) forming spring, and fixed on the central support (1).
Le piétement du panneau repliable est constitué de deux parties articulées (3 et 3') constituées par des segments de tubes formant très sensiblement un trapèze.The frame of the folding panel consists of two parts articulated (3 and 3 ') constituted by segments of tubes forming very substantially a trapezoid.
Les segments rectilignes (3a et 3'a) sont engagés librement dans des fourreaux (1a et 1b) du support central (1), en étant bloqués en translation par les éléments (4) faisant office de butée. Il est ainsi possible, comme indiqué précédemment, de rabattre les éléments du piétement (3a et 3'a) par rapport aux fourreaux (1a et 1b) jusqu'à ce qu'ils viennent en position sensiblement jointive. En position d'utilisation (figure 1) les éléments de butée (4) interdisent un repliage vers le haut.The rectilinear segments (3a and 3'a) are freely engaged in sleeves (1a and 1b) of the central support (1), being blocked in translation by the elements (4) acting as a stop. It is thus possible, as indicated above, to fold down the legs (3a and 3'a) by relative to the sleeves (1a and 1b) until they come into position substantially contiguous. In the position of use (figure 1) the elements of stop (4) prohibits folding up.
En ce qui concerne les moyens de fixation de la lame ressort (2) par rapport au support central (1), on renvoie notamment à la figure 3 des dessins. Pour l'essentiel, ces moyens de fixation comprennent deux pièces distinctes (A et B).Regarding the means of fixing the leaf spring (2) by relative to the central support (1), reference is made in particular to FIG. 3 of drawings. Essentially, these fixing means comprise two parts separate (A and B).
La pièce (A) est fixée sur la partie support (1) et constituée de deux éléments verticaux et parallèles (8 et 9) reliés à leur partie supérieure par un axe de rotation (10) disposé parallèlement aux génératrices des fourreaux (1a et 1b). Les éléments verticaux (8 et 9) sont entretoisés à leur partie inférieure par un élément de butée (11).The part (A) is fixed on the support part (1) and consists of two vertical and parallel elements (8 and 9) connected at their upper part by a axis of rotation (10) arranged parallel to the generatrices of the sleeves (1a and 1b). The vertical elements (8 and 9) are partly braced lower by a stop element (11).
La seconde pièce (B) est constituée par deux plaques profilées (12 et 13) pour enserrer l'axe de rotation (10) et coopérer en butée avec l'élément (11). Un axe transversal (14) assure la liaison des deux plaques (12 et 13) et évite leur désaccouplement par rapport à l'axe (10) lors du pivotement dans un sens ou dans l'autre de la pièce (B) par rapport à l'axe (10). Les extrémités (12a et 13a) des plaques profilées (12 et 13) présentent des agencements pour la fixation de la lame ressort (2).The second part (B) consists of two profiled plates (12 and 13) to enclose the axis of rotation (10) and cooperate in abutment with the element (11). A transverse axis (14) ensures the connection of the two plates (12 and 13) and prevents their uncoupling from the axis (10) when pivoting in one direction or the other of the part (B) relative to the axis (10). The ends (12a and 13a) of the profiled plates (12 and 13) have arrangements for fixing the leaf spring (2).
Lorsque la pièce (B) est engagée sur l'axe (10), l'extrémité inférieure des plaques (12 et 13) coopère avec la butée (11) correspondant à la position verticale ou sensiblement verticale d'utilisation du panneau. Pour permettre le basculement de l'élément d'indication, dans un sens ou dans l'autre, il suffit de dégager vers le haut la pièce (B) pour échapper l'élément butée (11), autorisant ainsi son basculement dans un sens ou dans l'autre, par rapport à l'axe (10). L'axe transversal (14) évite tout désaccouplement intempestif. When the part (B) is engaged on the axis (10), the lower end plates (12 and 13) cooperate with the stop (11) corresponding to the vertical or substantially vertical position of use of the panel. For allow tilting of the indication element, in one direction or in the other, simply release the part (B) upwards to escape the element stop (11), thus authorizing its tilting in one direction or the other, relative to the axis (10). The transverse axis (14) avoids any uncoupling untimely.
Ces dispositions permettent de replier totalement l'ensemble du panneau après avoir rabattu les deux éléments de piétement (3 et 3') par rapport aux fourreaux (1a et 1b) du support central. Il suffit de rabattre l'élément d'indication (7) en soulevant, comme indiqué précédemment, la pièce (B) et la faire basculer par rapport à l'axe (10) de la pièce (A), de manière à ce que ledit élément d'indication (7) vienne sensiblement en chevauchement des deux éléments de piétement (3 et 3'). Dans ce but, la lame ressort (2) présente un élément de clipage (6) apte à coopérer avec l'un des segments rectilignes de l'un des éléments du piétement (3 ou 3').These provisions make it possible to completely fold up the entire panel after having folded down the two legs (3 and 3 ') by relative to the sleeves (1a and 1b) of the central support. Just fold down the indication element (7) by lifting, as indicated above, the part (B) and tilt it relative to the axis (10) of part (A), so that said indication element (7) comes substantially in overlap of the two legs (3 and 3 '). To this end, the leaf spring (2) has a clip element (6) able to cooperate with one rectilinear segments of one of the legs (3 or 3 ').
Le panneau de signalisation en tant que tel (7) est constitué d'un matériau relativement léger afin de ne pas alourdir le poids de l'ensemble.The sign as such (7) consists of a relatively light material so as not to weigh down the weight of the whole.
Par sa conception, le panneau de signalisation résiste aux efforts exercés par le vent et les courants d'air générés par les passages de véhicules sans qu'il soit nécessaire de le maintenir immobile par un lest plus ou moins lourd et difficile à transporter.By its design, the road sign resists the efforts exerted by the wind and the air currents generated by the passage of vehicles without the need to keep it stationary with a ballast more or less heavy and difficult to transport.
