Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved light signalling device for roads, whose purpose is to facilitate both vehicular traffic and pedestrian transit, mainly in areas shared in common by both groups, such as crosswalks or any other roadway crossings. In addition; in crosswalks, it is used for alerting any other eventuality in the roads.
  • the luminous spots are located in the middle of the road and it is the place where eyesight is automatically directed towards, in a way that it is practically impossible not to see these spots and, above all, it is necessary to point out that it is very useful in poor visibility conditions, for example, at night or with fog, rain or snow, etc.
  • the location of the new signalling device allows a more direct viewing for the drivers, so that there is no need to turn one's head or to look away to view the signalling device, contrary to what often occurs with existing signalling devices which are usually located on one or both sides of the road, which implies that the driver must turn his/her head or look away in order to view them.
  • the signalling system of the invention will usually be activated by the pedestrian who wants to cross a road where there are cars and other vehicles driving.
  • the signalling system incorporates some activation means also located in the ground in a very convenient strategic area, mainly for people in a hurry, so that the pressing of the activation means of the signalling system will not interrupt the user' path.
  • Light signalling systems such as traffic lights, are actually very effective in crosswalks and other public highway crossings through which the pedestrians cross these public highways when the traffic lights allows so.
  • Another drawback is that sometimes a large vehicle, such as a bus or a truck, is stopped or parked right in front of the traffic lights, so that the motorist driving through is unable to see the traffic lights, with the resulting danger for pedestrians, and, in the best case, even though the driver slows down as precaution, there is a risk, and it is always the pedestrian who is at stake.
  • a large vehicle such as a bus or a truck
  • Some crosswalks have a push button that the pedestrian can use to change the colour of the traffic lights and then cross safely, said push button being located on the support or pole of the traffic lights.
  • the location of this push button has the disadvantage that if the pedestrian is in a hurry, he/she will not bother to approach the place where the traffic light stands and tries to cross the road after looking to both sides of the road, which still represents a danger and an obvious risk.
  • the spanish Utility Model application No.U-9801095 refers to a metallic structure with a luminous device inside which is installed transversely across the public highway parallel to the crosswalk.
  • This Utility Model discloses a device including a support or pole with a switch that will be placed in the vicinity of one side of the crosswalk to avoid interrupting the pedestrian path. But the pedestrians will also in this case have to walk to one side of the crosswalk to operate the push button, with the implied abovementioned disadvantages.
  • said pole represents an architectural barrier, which like other barriers, are aimed to be removed by all means.
  • Document EP 0 843 296 A discloses a light signalling device including retractable lighting modules located transversally on the road, such that they can be retracted when rolled over by the wheels of vehicles. However, no push button is disclosed for activating the light signalling device.
  • the invention suggests a light signalling device for the road according to claim 1.
  • the signalling device comprises lighting modules placed transversally on the road, usually in connection with a zebra crossing at a certain distance from it.
  • the lighting modules can also be installed according to other places or circumstances.
  • Another feature of the signalling device of the present invention is the means used to activate the signalling, said means consisting of at least one push button located on a central area of the crosswalk, so that there is no need to walk to one end of the crosswalk to activate the light system as with existing systems.
  • the push button will be located on the road near its curb. This way, the pedestrian will be able to step on it in an easy, simple and fast way before crossing the public highway, waiting previously for the luminous elements to change their status.
  • the push button Since the push button is located in the centre or passage area, it can be easily activated with the foot, with no need to do anything special, except continue walking normally. To facilitate its use, the push button is of a large size, such as 25x25 cm, so that it can be easily activated by slower pedestrians, such as old-aged people or children. Since it is located at ground level one will not bump into it and, therefore, it does not represent an architectural barrier.
  • the lighting modules are retractable when they are driven over buy car wheels, so that these elements are usually slightly projected with respect to the surface of the road to be better viewed, mainly by drivers.
  • This feature of being retractable means a substantial modification and improvement in relation to the Utility Model application No. U-9801095.
  • This Utility Model includes amongst its items a bent plate projecting out of the road, which is not retractable, so that said plate represents an interruption in the public highway, very inconvenient for vehicles and for the passengers thereof, mainly for public transportation drivers and for users of such public transportation who are in an upright or standing position.
  • the bent plate projecting out of the road affects the mechanisms of the vehicles negatively, because of the constant hits on wheels and suspension, and is particularly very dangerous as this hitting can lead to loss of control, essentially in light vehicles or those with small wheels, such as motorbikes, mainly under poor visibility conditions, when the system is not activated because there is no pedestrian crossing at that time. Instead, these disadvantages no longer exist since the device of the invention can be hidden.
  • the signalling is also characterised in that it includes a spring mechanism for positioning the lighting modules on the outside projecting above the road in its resting position.
  • Each of the lighting modules is telescopically coupled over a lower tube by means of a recovery spring. Inside the lighting module there is a lamp, whereas the lower tube is secured to a tubular casing fixed to the ground. This casing has drainage holes for dirt, water, etc.
  • the holding and coupling means for the raising part of the lighting module consist basically of a nut screwed to the tubular casing, nut where the raising part of the lighting module stops axially when returning to its initial resting position after being concealed downwards trough the action of a car wheel.
  • the lighting modules rise slightly above the surface of the road, so that when a car wheel drives through, it will not suffer any damage, returning to its initial raised position once the wheel no longer steps on the said lighting element. To this contributes the characteristic that the lighting modules have a bevelled or rounded upper edge, which facilitates the initial movement when the car wheel starts to step over it.
  • the visible and luminous components or parts rise above the road sufficiently as to be seen at a great distance and under poor visibility conditions and sufficiently, that is, they have the suitable size or measurement which allows them to be pressed down and therefore retracted without resistance and very easily through the effect of the wheel of any type of vehicle, regardless of the size and width of the latter and of the vehicle concerned: bicycles, motorcycles, wheelchair, etc.
  • the shape of these components is not limited, although in the figures they are represented as circular and squared, and said shape can also be rectangular, triangular, etc., according to its efficiency for the purpose and operation of the system and considering efficiency, duration, and fabrication capacity criteria.
  • the lighting modules have at least a translucent portion, which lets the lamp's light go through so that it is clearly visible for both the drivers and the users.
  • the translucent portion, through which the luminous flashlight is emitted, can also occupy all the faces or the whole contour of said visible component, so that it can be viewed from any place and also by the pedestrians who are crossing, as a warning that the system is currently on.
  • the lighting module can also be specified by a folding component which, when stepped by the wheels of a car, will remain level with the ground surface, later returning to its initial position by means of the corresponding spring mechanism.
  • Another feature of the system of the invention which the Utility Model application No. U-9801095 does not include, is that the former carries inside the push button compartment an acoustic system which sounds a discontinued and specific bip when the system is activated and therefore the road can be crossed. This is used to warn blind persons and distracted pedestrians of such event.
  • the system When the system is planned to signal an event other than a pedestrian crosswalk, the system in that case will be activated continuously without a push button to activate it.
  • the signalling device of the invention is connected to the electrical mains which are more usual in the cities: power grid, traffic lights, street lamps, neon signs, etc. and the electrical components included are a circuit breaker to interrupt the supply, a thermal breaker which disconnects it in case of failure, a power limiter and an adjustable electronic frequency controller which allows the programming of intensity, duration, rate and frequency flashlight parameters. Also, in the connecting point to the power supply, there is a voltage transformer from 220 volts to 12 or 24 volts, which corresponds to the type of voltage used by the lamps included and also as a safety measure, although the system is perfectly insulated, in case of improper handling. All the electrical components are lodged in a sealed housing dedicated to such purpose, located in the electric socket or next to the push button.
  • all the electrical mains go through a moisture-proof and thick rubber insulated hose and in its passage area to the switch unit or the push button receptacle it is insulated with sealing nuts with a variable pressure waterproof skim coating.
  • the power supply can be achieved in some particular cases using rechargeable batteries, solar energy, biomass, etc.
  • the light signalling for the road is composed of several lighting modules 1 established transversally in a road or public highway 2 and a foot push button 3 installed on the ground 4 in connection to the road 2, which is also exposed in the central area of a pedestrian crosswalk 5. There is also a cable hose 6, which runs through the lighting modules 1 until the foot push button 3.
  • Each of these lighting modules 1 comprises a tubular casing 7 which is level in its upper part with the surface of the road or public highway 2 and fixed by means of a resin material 8, wherein several radial pins 9 fixed in said casing 7 are embedded in said material 8.
  • transversal component 10 where the bottom of a tubular lower body 11 is fixed, the bottom from which starts a vertical support 12 which is used to fix a lamp 13 in the vicinity of the public highway surface 2.
  • tubular upper body 15 made from a translucent material so that the light from lamp 13 can go through.
  • This upper body 15 is raised above the surface of the road 2, and is also covered by a grooved metallic sheet cover 16 with rounded edges to facilitate the movement of a car wheel when it steps over the translucent body 15 which will move downwards against the spring 14 resistance until it is level with the surface of the road 2.
  • the spring 14 is located coaxially with the vertical support 12 of the lamp 13.
  • the translucent body 15 is retained by means of a screwed nut 17 which is coupled externally to the tubular casing 7, so that the translucent body 15 stops axially over the screwed nut 17 by means of an external wing 18 fixed to the translucent body 15.
  • the latter includes another internal wing 19 against which the spring 14 abuts, which spring 14 tends to push the translucent body 15 outwardly.
  • the casing 7 includes in the bottom some drainage vents 20 to facilitate the passage of water, sand and in general, any kind of dirt which enters the casing 7.
  • the push button 3 comprises also a casing 21, and a push plate 22 level pavement with the surface of the 4.
  • the push plate 22 is associated to an internal switch 23 by means of an intermediate component 24.
  • the stability and resting position of the push plate 22 is ensured by means of recovery springs 25 coupled around a small axis 26 fixed to the push plate 22 and guided through holes 27 made in an internal plate 28 fixed to the casing 21, so that the recovery springs 25 which abut against the internal plate 28, also tend to position the push plate 22 outward levelly with the surface of the pavement 4, after stepping on said plate 22 to turn on the lamps 13 of the different lighting modules 1.
  • the casing 21 of the push button 3 also includes drainage vents 29 to facilitate the exit of any kind of dirt.
  • the lighting will have a specific colour typical of this system which will be used to associate the colour easily and quickly; said colour will have a strong brightness and produce light bursts or intermittent flashes with a frequency, rate and intensity.
  • the lighting modules are concealed with the wheels pressure, for safety and convenience purposes, said modules will be small sized and sufficiently separated so that they can be easily missed by the wheels.
  • Figs. 4-9 show other embodiments of the invention, wherein the two lower 11 and upper 15 tubular bodies are discarded, and also the coaxial spring 14 installed around the vertical support 12 of the lamp 13.
  • the vertical support 12' of the lamp 13 is fixed directly to the transversal component 10', which is in turn fixed to casing 7'.
  • a translucent folding plate 30 is istalled, which resting position corresponds to an inclined position above the surface of the road 2, so that said position will be maintained using appropriate means, whether through a spring 31, 31' or a counterweight 32; said means being associated to the folding plate 30 which is coupled to a hinge pin 33.
  • Casing 7' also includes drainage vents 20'.
  • the folding plate 30 can be of any shape, whether circular, rectangular or otherwise.
  • the folding plate 30 when a vehicle steps over the folding plate, the latter will remain approximately level with the surface of the road 2, resting on a seat 34 of casing 7'. Once the vehicle no longer steps over the folding plate 30, said plate will return to its initial inclined resting position by means of spring 31, 31', or counterweight 32, and in all the cases, plate 30 will have a raised position above the road 2.
  • spring 31 is placed in a vertical position next to the hinge pin 33.
  • spring 31 is placed right in the opposite side of the hinge pin 33.
  • Fig. 6 shows an embodiment wherein spring 31' is coaxially coupled around the hinge pin 33.
  • the folding plate 30 is linked to the spring 31 located in an intermediate area beneath the folding plate 30, and said spring is also coupled around a bent element 35 fixed to the plate and guided at the bottom in a hole established in a flat component 36 set under the surface of the road.
  • Fig. 8 shows the counterweight 32 fixed on an extension 37 of the folding plate 30, extension that extends from the hinge pin 33.
  • Counterweight 32 is the element responsible for placing and locating the folding plate 30 in its resting inclined position.
  • the internal side of the folding plate 30 has a mirror made of glass or metal, which is used to reflect the flashlight emitted by the lamp 13.
  • the folding plate is bevelled and grooved alongside all its contour so that it can be pressed down by the wheels from any side of attack of the folding plate 30.
  • the screwed nut 17 is a nut with screw and grooves in the outer upper side, so that it can be unscrewed using a chisel and hammer to facilitate the dismounting operation of the mechanism.
  • a fixing pin 38 is provided for retaining a stepped frame 39 in which, among other elements, beats the folding plate 30, so that it is necessary to dismount the pin 38 fixed by means of screws or other appropriate fixing elements in order to dismount the system assembly.
  • a perimeter skirt 40 placed around the folding plate 30 is included, thus specifying a hollow area.
  • the inner side of this skirt presents a metallic or glass mirror surface which is used to reflect the light of the lamp 13.
  • This skirt 40 is also used to hide and protect the springs, according to the model concerned.
