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 bow device for the reservation of a parking space of the type essentially comprising a frame, an articulated hoop whose ends are connected to said frame by means of two axes and two bearings, an electric cylinder actuating the rotating said ends by means of a gas compensating jack and a rod, a remotely controlled electronic circuit and a protective cover; the chassis and protective cover assembly being intended to be fixed to the ground in the parking area of 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 common devices are fully manual and are provided with key locking means.
They have the disadvantages of manual devices namely: handling not always easy, sensitivity to atmospheric agents, damage caused by false maneuvers.
The known remote control devices, which incorporate a relatively large energy source, comprise an eccentric electric cylinder and a single gas cylinder, lateral, interconnected generally by a means of the cam type. The gas cylinder is connected to a single rod secured to a single end of the bow. The mechanical force of control of the rotation of the arch is asymmetrical.
In addition, in case of false operation, the kinematics of said device is subjected to unbalanced efforts may cause deformation or deterioration of some subsets.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, le FR-A-2748762 propose d'utiliser deux ressorts situés de part et d'autre du vérin central. De tels ressorts n'offrent cependant pas une régulation controlée de l'assistance du vérin central et un mouvement régulier de l'arceau.To overcome this drawback, the FR-A-2748762 proposes to use two springs located on either side of the central cylinder. Such springs, however, do not provide controlled regulation of the assistance of the central cylinder and a regular movement of the arch.

L'invention vise à réaliser un dispositif qui élimine les divers inconvénients sus-mentionnés.The invention aims to provide a device that eliminates the various disadvantages mentioned above.

Le dispositif en question se caractérise en ce qu'il comporte essentiellement :

  1. 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 ;
  2. 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 device in question is characterized in that it essentially comprises:
  1. a) two gas cylinders which are arranged symmetrically on either side of the electric jack itself arranged in the center of the frame and which are each connected in an articulated manner, on one side, to a connecting rod placed at each end the hoop;
  2. 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 via a link arm.

Les caractéristiques et les avantages de l'invention vont apparaître 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).
