Abstract

The arch (2) for reserving a parking space has its two ends connected to a base (1) by hinges (4) with bearings (5), and it is raised or lowered by an electric drive (6) and two gas cylinders (7). The gas cylinders are located symmetrically on either side of the electric drive, to which they are connected by articulated arms (11); their other ends are linked to levers (8) on the arch's in-turned horizontal ends.

Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif à arceau rabattable pour la réservation d'une place de stationnement du genre comportant essentiellement un châssis, un arceau articulé dont les extrémités sont reliées audit châssis au moyen de deux axes et de deux paliers, un vérin électrique actionnant la rotation desdites extrémités par l'intermédiaire d'un vérin de compensation à gaz et d'une biellette, un circuit électronique télécommandé et un couvercle de protection ; l'ensemble châssis et couvercle de protection étant destiné à être fixé au sol dans la zone de stationnement du véhicule.The invention relates to a folding hoop device for reservation a parking space of the kind essentially comprising a chassis, a articulated hoop whose ends are connected to said chassis by means of two axes and two bearings, an electric actuator actuating the rotation of said ends by means of a gas compensation cylinder and a link, a remote-controlled electronic circuit and a protective cover; all chassis and protective cover being intended to be fixed to the ground in the area of parking the vehicle.

Les dispositifs les plus répandus sont entièrement manuels et sont pourvus de moyens de verrouillage à clé.
Ils présentent les inconvénients liés aux dispositifs manuels à savoir : manutentions pas toujours aisées, sensibilité aux agents atmosphériques, détériorations occasionnées par des fausses manoeuvres.
Les dispositifs télécommandés connus, qui intègrent une source d'énergie relativement volumineuse, comportent un vérin électrique excentré et un seul vérin à gaz, latéral, reliés entre eux généralement par un moyen du type à came. Le vérin à gaz n'est relié qu'à une seule biellette solidaire d'une seule extrémité d'arceau. L'effort mécanique de commande de la rotation de l'arceau est asymétrique.
En outre, en cas de fausse manoeuvre, la cinématique dudit dispositif est soumise à des efforts non équilibrés pouvant occasionner la déformation voire la détérioration de certains sous-ensembles.The most widespread devices are entirely manual and are provided with key locking means.
They have the drawbacks associated with manual devices, namely: handling not always easy, sensitivity to atmospheric agents, deterioration caused by false operations.
Known remote-controlled devices, which integrate a relatively bulky energy source, comprise an eccentric electric actuator and a single gas cylinder, lateral, generally interconnected by means of the cam type. The gas spring is connected to only one connecting rod secured to one end of the hoop. The mechanical effort to control the rotation of the roll bar is asymmetrical.
In addition, in the event of a false maneuver, the kinematics of said device is subjected to unbalanced forces which can cause deformation or even deterioration of certain subassemblies.

L'invention vise donc à réaliser un dispositif qui élimine les divers inconvénients sus-mentionnés.
Le dispositif en question se caractérise en ce qu'il comporte essentiellement :

  • a) deux vérins à gaz qui sont disposés symétriquement de part et d'autre du vérin électrique lui-même disposé au centre du châssis et qui sont reliés, chacun, de manière articulée, d'un côté, à une biellette placée à chaque extrémité de l'arceau ;
  • b) deux bras articulés reliés, chacun, à une extrémité, à l'autre côté du vérin à gaz latéral correspondant et, à l'autre extrémité, qui leur est commune, au vérin électrique central, soit directement, soit par l'intermédiaire d'un bras de liaison.
    • The invention therefore aims to provide a device which eliminates the various drawbacks mentioned above.
    The device in question is characterized in that it essentially comprises:
  • a) two gas cylinders which are arranged symmetrically on either side of the electric cylinder itself disposed in the center of the chassis and which are each connected, in an articulated manner, on one side, to a connecting rod placed at each end the roll bar;
  • b) two articulated arms connected, each at one end to the other side of the corresponding lateral gas cylinder and, at the other end, which is common to them, to the central electric cylinder, either directly or through a link arm.

    • Les caractéristiques et les avantages de l'invention vont apparaítre plus clairement à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit d'au moins un mode de réalisation préféré de celle-ci donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif et représenté aux dessins annexés.
    Sur ces dessins :

    • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective du dispositif avec son arceau positionné à 45° et son couvercle enlevé ;
    • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective intérieure du couvercle mettant en évidence son moyen de verrouillage par les bras articulés (représentés en trait interrompu).
    The characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear more clearly on reading the following detailed description of at least one preferred embodiment thereof given by way of non-limiting example and shown in the accompanying drawings.
    In these drawings:
    • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device with its arch positioned at 45 ° and its cover removed;

    Le déplacement de l'extrémité commune (13) desdits bras (11) s'effectue selon la flèche (F2).The folding hoop device for reserving a parking space shown in the figures essentially comprises a chassis (1), an articulated hoop (2) whose ends (3) are connected to said chassis by means of two axes (4) and two bearings (5), an electric actuator (6) actuating the rotation of said ends (3) via a gas compensation actuator (7) and a link (8), an electronic control circuit (9) and a protective cover (10).
