Description

La présente invention a pour objet des glissières de sécurité routière en bois sur appuis à entraxes variables.The present invention relates to safety barriers wooden road structure with supports at variable centers.

On connaít en effet de nombreux types de glissières ou barrières de sécurité routières qui sont placées en bordure des routes et des autoroutes pour retenir les véhicules qui quittent accidentellement la route : ces glissières de sécurité comportent une ou plusieurs lisses horizontales supportées par des poteaux fixés dans le sol. Ces lisses horizontales, ainsi que leurs poteaux support, peuvent être métalliques ou constituées d'éléments en bois, avec différentes variantes combinant à la fois des parties bois et des parties métalliques.We know indeed many types of slides or barriers road safety which are placed at the edge of roads and highways to detain vehicles that accidentally leave the road: these crash barriers have one or more rails horizontal supported by posts fixed in the ground. These smooth horizontal, as well as their support posts, can be metallic or made of wooden elements, with different variants combining both wood and metal parts.

Quel que soit le type de glissière, chaque lisse est formée d'éléments identiques qui sont assemblés bout à bout, d'une part pour simplifier bien sûr la fabrication et leur assemblage mais également pour ne pas risquer d'accrocher un véhicule qui glisserait le long d'une telle lisse.Whatever the type of slide, each stringer is formed identical elements which are assembled end to end, on the one hand for simplify of course the manufacturing and their assembly but also for not to risk catching a vehicle which would slide along such smooth.

Si les glissières de sécurité métalliques sont utilisées et connues depuis très longtemps, les glissières de type bois sont plus récentes et on peut considérer que la première demande de brevet déposée pour de telles glissières répondant à des normes de sécurité minima a été celle de Monsieur EYNARD, déposée en France le 14 novembre 1984 et étendue en Europe sous le numéro EP-A-184 525 : depuis, diverses autres demandes de brevets ont été déposées, essentiellement pour protéger différents dispositifs d'assemblages d'éléments en bois afin de pouvoir résister aux efforts importants provoqués par les chocs de véhicules sur de telles glissières et permettre de les homologuer pour des utilisations le long des routes où les véhicules peuvent circuler à grandes vitesses; on peut citer par exemple la demande de brevet européen de la société GAILLARD déposée le 5 décembre 1986 et publiée sous le numéro EP-A-228 334 et enseigne un dispositif d'assemblage de rondins de bois par des pièces métalliques faisant éclisses à chaque jonction de rondins adjacents et logées dans des rainures longitudinales. If metal crash barriers are used and known for a very long time, wood type slides have been more recent and we can consider that the first patent application filed for such slides meeting minimum safety standards was that of Monsieur EYNARD, filed in France on November 14, 1984 and extended in Europe under the number EP-A-184 525: since then, various others patent applications have been filed, mainly to protect different assemblies of wooden elements in order to be able withstand the significant efforts caused by vehicle impacts on such slides and allow them to be approved for uses along roads where vehicles can travel at high speeds; we can cite for example the European patent application of the company GAILLARD filed on December 5, 1986 and published under the number EP-A-228 334 and teaches a device for assembling wooden logs by metal parts splicing at each junction of logs adjacent and housed in longitudinal grooves.

On pourrait citer d'autres demandes de brevets plus récentes, mais dont toutes les descriptions enseignent des modes de fixation entre les éléments de lisse horizontale correspondent également et simultanément à la fixation de cette lisse horizontale sur les poteaux supports. Un tel principe de réalisation est cependant très gênant lors du montage, puisque cela nécessite soit de positionner les poteaux à des endroits très précis correspondant aux entraxes des liaisons des éléments de lisse, ou d'adapter la longueur de ceux-ci pour permettre leur fixation sur lesdits poteaux.We could cite other more recent patent applications, but all of whose descriptions teach methods of fixation between horizontal beam elements also correspond simultaneously to the fixing of this horizontal rail on the support posts. Such principle of realization is however very inconvenient during assembly, since this requires either to position the posts in very precise corresponding to the spacing of the connections of the heald elements, or to adapt the length of these to allow their attachment to said posts.

Le problème posé est donc de pouvoir réaliser et installer des glissières de sécurité routière comportant au moins une lisse horizontale en bois, qui permet de présenter une bonne esthétique et de mieux s'intégrer au paysage tout en permettant d'une part de résister à des efforts très importants, et d'autre part de fixer cette lisse avec une grande tolérance de positionnement des poteaux lors du battage de ceux-ci, non forcément liées à la position des éléments de jonction entre les éléments constituant la lisse horizontale.The problem is therefore to be able to make and install road safety barriers with at least one horizontal rail wooden, which allows to present a good aesthetic and better integrate into the landscape while allowing on the one hand to resist very important efforts, and on the other hand to fix this smooth with a great tolerance of post positioning during threshing thereof, not necessarily linked to the position of the junction elements between the elements constituting the horizontal rail.

Une solution au problème posé est une glissière de sécurité routière, de type comportant au moins une lisse horizontale en bois, composée de rondins assemblés bout à bout et reliés entre eux par des éclisses métalliques et des boulons de fixation les traversant, et des poteaux qui supportent ladite lisse en arrière de celle-ci par rapport au coté de la circulation routière, et telle que :

  • les éclisses métalliques, dites principales, sont constituées d'un profil de section en forme de C et forment un support continu reliant lesdits rondins du côté des poteaux ;
  • ledit profil métallique C à son ouverture orientée vers lesdits poteaux et est apte à recevoir des brides de fixation de ceux-ci en tous points de la longueur des éclisses indépendamment des jonctions de celles-ci et des rondins ;
  • lesquelles brides sont déformables lors d'un choc contre ladite glissière au-dessus d'une valeur donnée, de telle sorte que celle-ci se désolidarise des poteaux.
A solution to the problem posed is a road safety barrier, of the type comprising at least one horizontal wooden beam, composed of logs assembled end to end and interconnected by metal fishplates and fixing bolts passing through them, and posts which support said rail behind it relative to the side of the road traffic, and such that:
  • the metal ribs, called main, consist of a C-shaped section profile and form a continuous support connecting said logs on the side of the posts;
  • said metal profile C at its opening oriented towards said posts and is capable of receiving clamps for fixing the latter at all points along the length of the ribs independently of the junctions thereof and of the logs;
  • which flanges are deformable upon impact against said slide above a given value, so that the latter is detached from the posts.

On appelle un profil de section en forme de C, un profil constitué par une courbe semi fermée et comportant une ouverture entre deux ailes correspondant aux deux extrémités de la courbe, laquelle ouverture étant de dimension inférieure à la largeur du profil mesuré à l'arrière des deux ailes.A C-shaped section profile is called a profile made up by a semi-closed curve and having an opening between two wings corresponding to the two ends of the curve, which opening being of dimension less than the width of the profile measured at the rear of the two wings.

Le résultat est un nouveau type de glissière de sécurité routière de type bois qui répond bien au problème posé, puisque d'une part une telle glissière comporte une éclisse métallique continue sur sa partie arrière et réalisée avec un profil apportant une bonne résistance et une inertie additionnelle en flexion, augmentant ainsi la résistance au choc de l'ensemble de la glissière, et d'autre part, du fait de ce profil continu et de sa forme, combinée avec des moyens de fixation spécifiques des poteaux supports, ceux-ci peuvent être positionnés en tous points de la longueur de lisses, ce qui en simplifie grandement la pose, même si pour des questions de sécurité et de résistance, l'entraxe entre deux poteaux consécutifs doit être d'une distance maximum donnée.The result is a new type of road safety barrier from wood type which responds well to the problem posed, since on the one hand a such slide has a continuous metal splint on its part rear and made with a profile providing good resistance and additional bending inertia, thus increasing impact resistance of the entire slide, and on the other hand, because of this continuous profile and its shape, combined with specific means of fixing the support posts, these can be positioned at any point of the length of beams, which greatly simplifies installation, even if for questions of safety and resistance, the distance between two posts consecutive must be a given maximum distance.

De plus, le mode de fixation par brides déformables desdits poteaux permet une désolidarisation de la lisse par rapport aux poteaux, à partir d'un effort de choc donné et calculable, ce qui permet à la lisse de ne pas se rompre et de conserver sa continuité, tout en se détachant des poteaux d'appui afin de ne pas entraíner ladite lisse au sol avec ledit appui : le véhicule qui la heurte peut glisser alors contre elle, ceci dans le respect des normes de sécurité routière.In addition, the method of fixing by deformable flanges of said posts allows the beam to be detached from the posts, from a given and calculable impact force, which allows the smooth not to break and maintain its continuity, while detaching support posts so as not to entrain said stringer on the ground with said support: the vehicle striking it can then slide against it, this in compliance with road safety standards.

Par ailleurs, du fait de l'existence d'une éclisse métallique continue et de sa forme suivant l'invention, il est possible d'utiliser cette éclisse pour fixer de nombreux accessoires, tels que des réflecteurs lumineux, des moyens de manutention des éléments de la glissière lors de la pose (ce qui permet d'en faciliter l'installation), la fixation d'un cache en bois supplémentaire et/ou de dispositif de protection des motards etc...Furthermore, due to the existence of a metal splint continuous and of its shape according to the invention, it is possible to use this splint to fix many accessories, such as reflectors luminous, means of handling the elements of the slide during installation (which makes installation easier), fixing a additional wooden cover and / or protection device bikers etc ...

On pourrait citer d'autres avantages de la présente invention, mais ceux cités ci-dessus en montrent déjà suffisamment pour en prouver la nouveauté et l'intérêt. Other advantages of the present invention could be cited, but those cited above already show enough to prove the novelty and interest.

La description ci-après et les figures ci-jointes représentent des exemples de réalisation de l'invention, avec différentes caractéristiques innovantes et complémentaires de celles déjà citées précédemment, mais n'ont aucun caractère limitatif : d'autres réalisations sont possibles dans le cadre de la portée et de l'étendue de cette invention, en particulier en changeant la forme des brides d'accrochage des éclisses sur les poteaux supports, le type de poteau support proprement dit, qui peut être métallique ou en bois, ou mixte bois/métal comme représenté sur les figures 1 et 7.The description below and the attached figures represent exemplary embodiments of the invention, with different characteristics innovative and complementary to those already mentioned above, but are in no way limiting: other embodiments are possible in within the scope and scope of this invention, particularly in changing the shape of the clamps for attaching the ribs to the posts supports, the type of support post itself, which can be metallic or wooden, or mixed wood / metal as shown in the Figures 1 and 7.

Une glissière de sécurité routière suivant l'invention est de type connu, comportant au moins une lisse horizontale en bois 3 composé de rondins 13 assemblés bout à bout et reliés entre eux par des éclisses métalliques 1 et des boulons de fixation 6 traversant les rondins 13 par des trous 2 réalisés dans lesdits rondins, et des poteaux 4 qui supportent la lisse en arrière de celle-ci par rapport au coté de la circulation routière R.A road safety barrier according to the invention is of the type known, comprising at least one horizontal wooden beam 3 composed of logs 13 assembled end to end and connected together by fishplates metal 1 and fixing bolts 6 passing through the logs 13 by holes 2 made in said logs, and posts 4 which support the smooth behind it relative to the side of the traffic road R.

Suivant l'invention, les éclisses métalliques, dites principales 1, sont constituées d'un profil de section en forme de C, l'ouverture 20 de la rainure étant située côté poteau, forment un support continu reliant lesdits rondins 13 du côté des poteaux 4, et préférentiellement sont encastrés dans une rainure 19 horizontale continue réalisée dans lesdits rondins 13.According to the invention, the metal splices, called main 1, consist of a C-shaped section profile, the opening 20 of the groove being located on the pole side, form a continuous support connecting said logs 13 on the side of the posts 4, and preferably are embedded in a continuous horizontal groove 19 made in said logs 13.

Ces éclisses métalliques principales comportent des trous 11, au moins à ses extrémités et de part et d'autre de chaque jonction 18 de rondins 13, et dans lesquels sont mis en place les boulons de fixation 6 : de préférence, les éclisses principales 1 métalliques sont de longueur standard de 4 m et 2 m, alors que les éléments en rondins de bois 13 peuvent être des éléments de 2 m et sous-multiple, mais d'autres longueurs bien sûr peuvent être réalisées.These main metal fishplates have holes 11, at the less at its ends and on either side of each junction 18 of logs 13, and in which the fixing bolts 6 are placed: preferably, the main metallic fishplates 1 are of length standard of 4 m and 2 m, while the elements in wooden logs 13 can be 2 m and submultiple elements, but others lengths of course can be achieved.

Ces éclisses métalliques 1 principales sont reliées entre elles par des éclisses de jonction 5 dites secondaires, comportant des trous 12 coopérant avec au moins deux des trous 11, des extrémités des éclisses métalliques principales pour permettre le passage des boulons de fixation 6, dont les têtes sont de préférence placées du côté de la circulation routière R :

  • pour éviter que ces têtes dépassent de la surface des rondins, ceux-ci comportent des logements 9 réalisés du côté de la circulation routière et aptes à recevoir lesdites têtes des boulons de fixation 6, qui peuvent venir en appui contre des rondelles placées dans le fond desdits logements pour augmenter la surface d'appui lors du serrage et non représentées sur les figures jointes.
  • ces mêmes logements 9 permettent d'assurer d'autres fonctions telles que la signalisation et l'identification de la société.
These main metal joint bars 1 are connected to each other by so-called secondary junction joint bars 5, comprising holes 12 cooperating with at least two of the holes 11, of the ends of the main metal joint bars to allow the passage of the fixing bolts 6, the heads of which are preferably placed on the side of road traffic R:
  • to prevent these heads protruding from the surface of the logs, these comprise housings 9 made on the side of road traffic and capable of receiving said heads of the fixing bolts 6, which can come to bear against washers placed in the bottom said housings to increase the support surface during tightening and not shown in the accompanying figures.
  • these same housings 9 make it possible to perform other functions such as signaling and identifying the company.

A l'autre extrémité de ces boulons, leur tige fileté reçoit des écrous de fixation 10, qui viennent prendre en appui contre lesdites éclisses de liaison 5. Au niveau des jonctions 18 des rondins 13 ne correspondant pas à des extrémités d'éclisses métalliques 1 quand celles ci sont par exemple de longueur double, des boulons de fixation 62 sont également mis en place pour solidariser lesdites extrémités des rondins avec ladite éclisse principale 1 et sans utilisation alors d'éclisse de jonction 5 : un seul boulon à cette extrémité peut suffire, alors qu'au niveau des jonctions entre deux éclisses métalliques 1, deux boulons par extrémité d'éclisse et donc si c'est le cas, simultanément de rondins sont préférables. Pour des questions de standardisation, les rondins de bois peuvent comporter deux trous 2 à chacune de leurs extrémités, ce qui laisse un logement 9 disponible à chaque jonction 18 ne correspondant pas à une liaison d'éclisses métalliques 1 quand celles ci sont de longueur double des rondins : ce logement 9 peut permettre la fixation d'élément réfléchissant et identifiant du coté de la circulation routière.At the other end of these bolts, their threaded rod receives fixing nuts 10, which come to bear against said connecting fishplates 5. At the junctions 18 of the logs 13 not corresponding to the ends of metal fishplates 1 when these are for example of double length, fixing bolts 6 2 are also put in place to secure said ends of the logs with said main splint 1 and then without use of splice splice 5: a single bolt at this end can suffice, while at the junctions between two metal fishplates 1, two bolts per end of fishplate and therefore if this is the case, simultaneously logs are preferable. For standardization purposes, the wooden logs may have two holes 2 at each of their ends, which leaves a housing 9 available at each junction 18 which does not correspond to a connection of metal fishplates 1 when these are of double length logs: this housing 9 can allow the fixing of reflective and identifying elements on the side of road traffic.

Pour améliorer la résistance aux efforts de traction que doivent supporter les éclisses de jonction 5, sans multiplier le nombre de boulons, (limités de préférence à deux par extrémité d'éclisses métalliques 1 pour faciliter le montage), les éclisses métalliques de jonction 5 comportent des pions 15 males coopérant avec d'autres trous 112 des éclisses principales que ceux permettant le passage desdits boulons 6 : ces pions sont représentés en vue arrière sur la figure 2, sois à l'envers de la représentation de la figure 3B où ils apparaissent en saillie alors que sur la figure 2, il s'agit de la partie en creux et vue de l'arrière de ces pions lorsqu'ils sont réalisés par emboutissage de l'éclisse de liaison 5.To improve the resistance to the tensile stresses which the joint bars 5 must bear, without increasing the number of bolts (preferably limited to two per end of metal joint bars 1 to facilitate assembly), the metal joint bars 5 comprise 15 male pins cooperating with other holes 11 2 of the main ribs than those allowing the passage of said bolts 6: these pins are shown in rear view in FIG. 2, be upside down in the representation of FIG. 3B where they appear in projection while in FIG. 2, it is the hollow part and seen from the rear of these pins when they are produced by stamping the connecting splice 5.

Pour faciliter lors du montage, l'emboítement de l'éclisse de jonction 5 à l'intérieur du profil C de l'éclisse principale 1, l'extrémité du fond 1, ou âme de celle ci peut comporter une partie recourbée 27 vers l'extérieur du profil en C afin de former une languette servant de plan incliné ; celui-ci évite que les pions 15 de l'éclisse 5 viennent buter contre le bord de cette extrémité de l'éclisse principale quand on enfile l'éclisse de liaison 5 dans celle ci, lors du montage.To facilitate during assembly, the fitting of the fishplate junction 5 inside the profile C of the main splint 1, the end bottom 1, or core thereof may have a curved portion 27 towards the outside of the C-profile in order to form a tongue serving as inclined plane ; this prevents the pins 15 of the splint 5 from coming up against against the edge of this end of the main splint when you put it on the joint bar 5 therein, during assembly.

Lesdites glissières de sécurité peuvent également comporter des accessoires de signalisation ou recevoir d'autre équipements non représentés sur les figures jointes, et qui peuvent être fixées par tous moyens, dans l'ouverture 20 des éclisses principales 1 en n'importe quel point de leur longueur.Said crash barriers may also include signaling accessories or receiving other equipment not represented on the attached figures, and which can be fixed by all means, in the opening 20 of the main fishplates 1 in any point of their length.

Les éléments du profil métallique en C sont de préférence fabriqués dans un acier à haute limite élastique qui garantit une très bonne tenue mécanique même en basse température et permet de diminuer la section dudit profil et donc d'alléger le poids de l'ensemble de la glissière.The elements of the metal profile in C are preferably manufactured in a steel with high elastic limit which guarantees a very good mechanical resistance even at low temperatures and allows decrease the section of said profile and therefore lighten the weight of the assembly of the slide.

Pour faciliter l'installation de la glissière, en particulier lors de l'assemblage des éléments d'éclisses métalliques principales de liaison, et pour maintenir leur alignement avant que les boulons de fixation 6 puissent être positionnés dans les trous correspondants et vissés, les ailes 11 du profil en C des extrémités des éclisses principales 1 peuvent être recourbées vers l'intérieur et forment un guide dont la largeur est compatible avec celle des éclisses de jonction 5 : ceci permet de centrer les trous 12 de passage des boulons 6 en face de ceux 11 et 2 respectivement des éclisses principales 1 et des rondins 13, tels que représentés sur la figure 5 ; l'ouverture 20 du profil en C permet de glisser ensuite les écrous 10 et de les visser sur les tiges filetées des boulons 6.To facilitate the installation of the slide, in particular during the assembly of the main metal connecting plate elements, and to maintain their alignment before the fixing bolts 6 can be positioned in the corresponding holes and screwed, the wings 1 1 of the C-profile of the ends of the main fishplates 1 can be bent inwards and form a guide whose width is compatible with that of the junction fishplates 5: this makes it possible to center the holes 12 for passage of the bolts 6 opposite of those 11 and 2 respectively of the main splices 1 and of the logs 13, as shown in FIG. 5; the opening 20 of the profile at C then allows the nuts 10 to be slid and screwed onto the threaded rods of the bolts 6.

Pour assurer la fixation de la lisse horizontale 3 sur les poteaux 4, en tous points souhaités de la longueur des éclisses métalliques 1 principales, lesdites brides 7 de fixation peuvent être constituées chacune :

  • d'une tige de liaison 8 traversant un desdits poteaux 4 et bloquée sur celui-ci par au moins un écrou vissé à l'extrémité 81 distale de cette tige,
  • et d'une platine 17 glissée à l'intérieur du profil métallique des éclisses 1 et dont les ailes viennent en appui contre celles 11 de ces éclisses principales 1 quand on visse ledit écrou de l'autre côté du poteau 4, en prenant en « sandwich » celui-ci, entre l'éclisse 1 et ledit écrou ou toute rondelle d'appui de celui-ci.
To ensure the fixing of the horizontal rail 3 on the posts 4, at all desired points of the length of the main metal fishplates 1, said fixing flanges 7 can each be made up:
  • a connecting rod 8 passing through one of said posts 4 and locked on the latter by at least one nut screwed to the distal end 8 1 of this rod,
  • and a plate 17 slid inside the metal profile of the fishplates 1 and whose wings come to bear against those 1 1 of these main fishplates 1 when said nut is screwed on the other side of the post 4, taking in “Sandwich” thereof, between the splint 1 and the said nut or any supporting washer thereof.

De plus ces ailes de la platine peuvent comporter chacune une double pliure en forme d'escalier et déterminant entre elles une partie en excroissance par rapport à leurs extrémités, qui viennent en appui derrière les ailes 11 du profil C de l'éclisse métallique principale : cette partie en excroissance est de dimension correspondant à celle de l'ouverture 20 dudit profil dans laquelle elle vient se loger, permettant le centrage de la bride 7 et garantit la position verticale de la glissière. In addition, these wings of the plate may each have a double folding in the form of a staircase and determining between them a part protruding from their ends, which come to bear behind the wings 11 of the profile C of the main metal splint : this protruding part is of dimension corresponding to that of the opening 20 of said profile in which it is housed, allowing the centering of the flange 7 and guarantees the vertical position of the slide.

Avantageusement, la tige 8 peut être vissée dans la platine 17 et prendre appui dans le fond du profil métallique en C, afin d'immobiliser la bride 7 (après réglage de sa position longitudinale) lors du montage sur le poteau 42. Cette immobilisation de la bride favorise les efforts glissière-poteaux lors d'un choc.Advantageously, the rod 8 can be screwed into the plate 17 and bear against the bottom of the metal profile at C, in order to immobilize the flange 7 (after adjusting its longitudinal position) during mounting on the post 4 2 . This immobilization of the flange promotes the slide-post forces during an impact.

Pour permettre de positionner lesdites brides 7 en tous points des éclisses métalliques 1 sans avoir besoin de les glisser préalablement à l'intérieur de la gorge semi-fermée et formée par le profil métallique en « C », les ailes de ladite platine 17 qui peut être alors de forme rectangulaire, peuvent comporter par exemple, comme cela est connu par ailleurs (d'autres moyens de montage peuvent être également utilisés), chacune un angle 171 coupé apte à permettre la rotation de la platine dans le profil métallique et un autre angle 172 dont les dimensions empêchent ladite rotation ; les angles coupés 17, et droits 172 des deux ailes sont symétriques et disposés en diagonale deux à deux par rapport à l'axe de la tige 8. La largeur « 1 » de ladite platine 17 devant être également inférieure à la hauteur « h » de l'ouverture 20 du profil des éclisses métalliques 1 et la hauteur « H » de ladite platine 17 doit être légèrement inférieur à la largeur intérieure « L » dudit profil métallique des éclisses 1.To allow positioning of said flanges 7 at all points of the metal ribs 1 without the need to slide them beforehand inside the semi-closed groove formed by the metal profile in "C", the wings of said plate 17 which can then be rectangular in shape, may include for example, as is known elsewhere (other mounting means can also be used), each an angle 17 1 cut capable of allowing the rotation of the plate in the metal profile and a another angle 17 2 whose dimensions prevent said rotation; the cut 17, and right angles 17 2 of the two wings are symmetrical and arranged diagonally two by two with respect to the axis of the rod 8. The width "1" of said plate 17 must also be less than the height "h »Of the opening 20 of the profile of the metal ribs 1 and the height« H »of said plate 17 must be slightly less than the internal width« L »of said metal profile of the ribs 1.

En cas de choc d'un véhicule en provenance de la circulation routière R contre la glissière suivant l'invention, les ailes de la bride de fixation sur les poteaux les plus proches du choc se déformeront et la bride sortira de l'intérieur du profil C de l'éclisse principale 1, permettant la désolidarisation de l'ensemble de la lisse horizontale par rapport aux poteaux 4.In the event of a vehicle impact from traffic road R against the slide according to the invention, the wings of the flange on the posts closest to the impact will deform and the flange will come out of the interior of profile C of the main splint 1, allowing the separation of the entire horizontal rail by compared to posts 4.

Lesdits poteaux ou appuis 4 de la glissière suivant l'invention peuvent être de tout type, tels que par exemple ceux décrits dans le brevet précédent du présent déposant, n° FR97/08454 (2 765 252) déposé le 27/06/97 : ce document enseigne un appui métallique 4, réalisé avec un profil de type en « C » (comme l'éclisse principale ci-dessus) battu dans le sol et recevant un habillage en bois 42 maintenu à sa partie supérieure par un boulon 16 ; ledit habillage bois 42 comporte une rainure 14 dans lequel est positionné l'appui métallique 41 comme peut l'être les éclisses métalliques 1 dans la rainure 19 des éléments en bois horizontaux 13.Said posts or supports 4 of the slide according to the invention can be of any type, such as for example those described in the previous patent of this applicant, n ° FR97 / 08454 (2 765 252) filed on 06/27/97: this document teaches a metal support 4, produced with a “C” type profile (like the main splice above) beaten in the ground and receiving a wooden covering 4 2 held at its upper part by a bolt 16; said wooden covering 4 2 includes a groove 14 in which the metal support 4 1 is positioned as can be the metal fishplates 1 in the groove 19 of the horizontal wooden elements 13.

La tige de liaison 8 de la bride de fixation 7 est située au dessus dudit boulon 16 et peut être positionnée comme dans la description de la demande de brevet rappelée ci-dessus.The connecting rod 8 of the fixing flange 7 is located above of said bolt 16 and can be positioned as in the description of the patent application mentioned above.

Dans le cas où les poteaux 4 supports sont composés comme décrit ci-dessus, avec au moins un profil métallique 41 vertical de section en forme de C tel que représenté sur les figures 1 et 7, un dispositif de pose de glissière de sécurité routière suivant l'invention permet une installation aisée et rapide une fois lesdits poteaux 4 installés et fixés au sol : suivant la figure 7, un tel dispositif comprend au moins une plaque de guidage de dimensions apte à être glissée dans ledit profil 4, vertical, et reliée d'une part à au moins une bride 25 prenant appui sur la partie supérieure du poteau 4 et d'autre part à un bras de liaison horizontal 23 placé à l'extérieur dudit profil 41. Deux bras latéraux 22 aptes à former une structure en U horizontale avec le bras de liaison 23 sont articulés 26, sur celui-ci lesquels bras latéraux étant positionnés à la hauteur correspondante de la lisse en bois 3 de la glissière qui y est posée pour être fixée sur ledit poteau. Lesdits bras 22 comportent de préférence des rouleaux 24 pour permettre de faire coulisser la lisse 3 horizontalement par rapport auxdits poteaux, et leurs articulations 26 permet d'enlever l'ensemble du dispositif de pose après montage et fixation de la lisse sur le poteau 4 correspondant : en effet après avoir ainsi replié les bras latéraux dans l'axe de celui de liaison on peut ressortir le dispositif en faisant glisser le guidage vertical 21 vers le haut.In the case where the posts 4 supports are composed as described above, with at least one vertical metal profile 4 1 of C-shaped section as shown in Figures 1 and 7, a device for installing a road safety barrier according to the invention allows easy and rapid installation once said posts 4 installed and fixed to the ground: according to FIG. 7, such a device comprises at least one guide plate of dimensions suitable for being slid into said vertical profile 4, and connected on the one hand to at least one flange 25 bearing on the upper part of the post 4 and on the other hand to a horizontal connecting arm 23 placed outside of said profile 4 1 . Two lateral arms 22 able to form a horizontal U-shaped structure with the connecting arm 23 are articulated 26, on which the lateral arms are positioned at the corresponding height of the wooden beam 3 of the slide which is placed there to be attached to said post. Said arms 22 preferably comprise rollers 24 to allow the heald 3 to slide horizontally relative to said posts, and their articulations 26 makes it possible to remove the entire laying device after mounting and fixing the heald on the corresponding post 4 : in fact after having folded the lateral arms in the axis of the connecting one, the device can be brought out again by sliding the vertical guide 21 upwards.

Par ailleurs, lors de la présentation de l'éclisse de jonction 5, dite secondaire, sur l'éclisse principale 1 afin de les assembler, deux difficultés se présentent au poseur :

  • faire coïncider les pions 15 de l'éclisse de jonction 5 avec leur logement 112 dans l'éclisse principale 1 ;
  • maintenir l'éclisse de jonction 5 en place le temps de la pose des boulons de fixation 6.
Furthermore, during the presentation of the joint splice 5, called secondary, on the main splice 1 in order to assemble them, two difficulties arise for the installer:
  • making the pins 15 of the joint bar 5 coincide with their housing 11 2 in the main bar 1;
  • keep the splice joint 5 in place while fitting the fixing bolts 6.

Du fait des caractéristiques particulières de la présente invention, deux outillages assez simples, suffisent pour vaincre ces difficultés :

  • une clé à douille de monteur équipée sur une extrémité d'une douille permettant le serrage de l'ensemble des écrous de fixation et d'assemblage de la glissière, et sur l'autre extrémité d'une partie effilée permettant de faire coïncider les perçages 111 et 12 des deux éclisses ;
  • un levier en T, dont la largeur est inférieure à l'ouverture 20 de l'éclisse principale 1, et qui est introduit dans cette ouverture au niveau de l'éclisse de jonction 5 ; la rotation de ce levier vers la droite ou vers la gauche, fait basculer la tête du T, dans la rainure du profil en C de l'éclisse principale 1 (comme la platine 17 de la bride 7 support), puis en appuyant ou relevant le bras de ce levier en T, on arc-boute sa tête ainsi logée dans ladite rainure, de telle façon qu'un de ses côtés vient appuyer contre l'éclisse de jonction 5, et l'autre côté en arrière d'une des ailes 11 de l'éclisse principale 1 : un faible effort permet alors de maintenir ces deux éclisses en contact, facilitant ainsi le montage des boulons de fixation 6.
Due to the particular characteristics of the present invention, two fairly simple tools are sufficient to overcome these difficulties:
  • a fitter socket wrench fitted on one end with a socket allowing the tightening of all the fixing and assembly nuts of the slide, and on the other end with a tapered part allowing the holes to coincide 11 1 and 12 of the two sides;
  • a T-shaped lever, the width of which is less than the opening 20 of the main splint 1, and which is introduced into this opening at the level of the splice splice 5; the rotation of this lever to the right or to the left, tilts the head of the T, in the groove of the C profile of the main splint 1 (like the plate 17 of the flange 7 support), then by pressing or raising the arm of this T-shaped lever, its head is thus arched housed in said groove, in such a way that one of its sides comes to press against the joint bar 5, and the other side behind one of wings 1 1 of the main splint 1: a slight effort then keeps these two splints in contact, thus facilitating the mounting of the fixing bolts 6.
