Definitions

  • the invention relates to the technical sector of guardrails intended to be positioned along roads or highways, to retain vehicles in case of accident.
  • a guardrail in a perfect manner known to a person skilled in the art, includes, for the most part, at least one rail horizontal supported by posts fixed in the ground.
  • the smooth ones are end-to-end assemblies by any known and appropriate means to ensure perfect continuity at the junction areas. We distinguish basically the metal guardrails and slide rails wood safety.
  • the rails have a profiled cross section generally delineating several undulations formed in the direction of the length.
  • this Smooth type may have a substantially omega shaped profile.
  • the rails can be consisting of a metal rail of substantially U-shaped cross-section on which is fixed a wooden log presenting, on the whole of its length, a mortise for embedding said profile.
  • these spacers are constituted by a monobloc element delimiting two parallel vertical flanges joined by a fixing part with the rail and a fixing part with the pole.
  • These fixing parts have, for example, through holes for the engagement of bolt type fasteners.
  • the spreaders are primarily intended to ensure the attachment of the rails to a certain distance of the support posts.
  • the spreading members are not not particularly arranged to ensure, for example, a function damping under the effect of shocks. The only depreciation obtained results only of a possible deformation of their cross section, this which is not satisfactory.
  • the aim of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks, simple, safe, effective and rational way.
  • the problem to be solved by the invention is to improve damping effect in the event of impact against the smooth in particular, a progressive way.
  • a Spreader for Road or Highway Safety Barrier Smooth Post comprising an attachment part with the rail and a fixing part with the post, said spacer having, on the one hand, arrangements adapted to make energy absorber as a result of a shock and, on the other hand, arrangements adapted to allow the pivoting of said spacer relative to audit post under the effect of shock.
  • the arrangements able to act as an energy damper are constituted by at least one vertically formed fold in each of two wings secured to the fixing part with the smooth.
  • the arrangements suitable for allow pivoting are constituted by a plate, constituting the part fastening with the pole, mounted between the wings with the ability to pivoting downwardly within said wings.
  • the plate attachment with the pole has arrangements to be fixed in upper part of the wings and possibly in the lower part.
  • the arrangements of the plate are constituted by notches delimiting a zone of fixation upper and lower attachment area.
  • the upper attachment area is larger than the lower attachment area.
  • the fixing area upper is formed by a squared edge.
  • a road safety barrier or guardrail comprises at least one horizontal rail (L) fixed on support elements or posts (P) held on the ground.
  • This attachment is effected by means of spacer elements (E).
  • the arm (L) may have a sectional profile delimiting longitudinal waves, in the case of metal guardrails.
  • this smooth (L) may be constituted by a substantially U-shaped cross section of iron whose wings are folded to define an inner fixing rail.
  • This U-profile can be engaged in a mortise that has a wooden log (R) for attachment.
  • Figures 7 and 8 show an application of the spacer for fixing this type of slide "wood", these examples being given as a non-limiting indication.
  • the spacer (E) consists of a body (1) of substantially quadrangular cross-section defining two wings parallel verticals (1a) and (1b) braced, at each end, by a fixing part (1c) with the rail (L) and a fixing part (1d) with the pole (P).
  • each of the wings (1a) and (1b) has arrangements capable of acting as an absorber of energy under the effect of a shock. These arrangements consist of a deformation of each said wings constituting a vertical fold (the).
  • this vertical fold (1e) forms two wings arranged angularly, according to a angle of about 80 ° for example, delineating two wings of length uneven.
  • the longer wing is located on the side of the fixation (1c) with the rail (L).
  • the fixing part (1c) and the wings (1a) and (1b) consist mainly of sheet metal suitably folded.
  • the fixing part (1c) which constitutes a plate of support, presents a hole (1c1) for the engagement of an organ bolt-type assembly adapted to cooperate with arrangements of the smooth (L).
  • the spacer member (1) presents arrangements able to allow its pivoting with respect to the post (P) under the effect of a shock.
  • the attachment part (1d) is formed by a plate mounted at the end of the wings (1a) and (1b), with pivoting ability downward, within said wings.
  • the plate (1d) is fixed between the wings (1a) and (1b), of a reported, and present specific arrangements for allow both the attachment of the spacer relative to the post, and the tilting said spacer relative to said pole under the effect of a shock.
  • the back plate of fixation (1d) has, along its vertical edges, indentations (1d1) delimiting an upper fixation zone (1d2) and a fixation zone lower (1d3).
  • the upper attachment zone (1d2) consists of a flange substantially squared, so as to constitute an area from which will swing the spacer assembly (E) under the effect of the shock.
  • the zone of fixation (1d3) which is of little importance, constitutes a reduced assembly range to be easily detachable in case of impact.
  • the upper fixation zone (1d1) is permanent, while that the lower fixation zone is temporary.
  • the rear mounting plate (1d) has all type of arrangement to be attached to the pole.
  • this plate (1d) has an opening (1d4) for engagement of an organ cooperating bolt-type assembly, in a known manner, with arrangements of the support pole.
