Description

L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des glissières de sécurité destinées à être positionnées le long des routes ou autoroutes, pour retenir les véhicules en cas d'accident.The invention relates to the technical sector of guardrails intended to be positioned along roads or highways, to retain vehicles in case of accident.

D'une manière parfaite connue pour un homme du métier, une glissière de sécurité comprend, pour l'essentiel, au moins une lisse horizontale supportée par des poteaux fixés dans le sol. Les lisses sont assemblées bout à bout par tout moyen connu et approprié pour assurer une parfaite continuité au niveau des zones de jonction. On distingue essentiellement les glissières de sécurité métalliques et les glissières de sécurité bois.In a perfect manner known to a person skilled in the art, a guardrail 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.

En ce qui concerne les glissières de sécurité métalliques, les lisses présentent une section transversale profilée délimitant généralement plusieurs ondulations formées dans le sens de la longueur. Par exemple, ce type de lisse peut présenter un profil sensiblement en forme d'oméga.With regard to the metal guardrails, the rails have a profiled cross section generally delineating several undulations formed in the direction of the length. For example, this Smooth type may have a substantially omega shaped profile.

En ce qui concerne les glissières bois, les lisses peuvent être constituées par un rail métallique de section transversale sensiblement en U sur lequel est fixé un rondin en bois présentant, sur la totalité de sa longueur, une mortaise pour l'encastrement dudit profilé.With regard to the wooden rails, 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.

Le plus souvent, la fixation des lisses sur les poteaux, s'effectue par l'intermédiaire d'un organe écarteur. La fonction de ces écarteurs est donc d'assurer la fixation des lisses à une certaine distance des poteaux supports.
   Généralement, ces écarteurs sont constitués par un élément monobloc délimitant deux ailes verticales parallèles réunies par une partie de fixation avec la lisse et une partie de fixation avec le poteau. Ces parties de fixation présentent, par exemple, des trous débouchants pour l'engagement d'organes d'assemblage du type boulons.
Most often, the attachment of the smooth poles is carried out via a spacer member. The function of these spacers is to ensure the attachment of the rails at a distance from the support posts.
Generally, 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.

Compte tenu de ces dispositions, il apparaít que les organes écarteurs ont essentiellement pour but d'assurer la fixation des lisses à une certaine distance des poteaux support. Autrement dit, les organes écarteurs ne sont pas particulièrement agencés pour assurer, par exemple, une fonction d'amortissement sous l'effet de chocs. Le seul amortissement obtenu résulte uniquement d'une éventuelle déformation de leur section transversale, ce qui n'est pas satisfaisant.In view of these provisions, it appears that the spreaders are primarily intended to ensure the attachment of the rails to a certain distance of the support posts. In other words, 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.

L'invention s'est fixée pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients, de manière simple, sûre, efficace et rationnelle.The aim of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks, simple, safe, effective and rational way.

Le problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est d'améliorer l'effet d'amortissement en cas de choc contre la lisse notamment, d'une manière progressive.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.

Pour résoudre un tel problème, il a été conçu et mis au point un écarteur pour poteau de lisse de barrière de sécurité routière ou autoroutière comprenant une partie de fixation avec la lisse et une partie de fixation avec le poteau, ledit écarteur présentant, d'une part, de agencements aptes à faire office d'absorbeur d'énergie sous l'effet d'un choc et, d'autre part, des agencements aptes à permettre le pivotement dudit écarteur par rapport audit poteau sous l'effet du choc.To solve such a problem, it was designed and developed 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.

Pour résoudre le problème posé d'amortir l'énergie résultant du choc, les agencements aptes à faire office d'amortisseur d'énergie sont constitués par au moins une pliure formée verticalement, dans chacune de deux ailes solidaires de la partie de fixation avec la lisse.To solve the problem posed of damping the energy resulting from 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.

Pour résoudre le problème posé d'augmenter l'effet d'amortissement, d'une manière progressive, les agencements aptes à permettre le pivotement sont constitués par une plaque, constituant la partie de fixation avec le poteau, montée entre les ailes avec capacité de pivotement vers le bas à l'intérieur desdites ailes.To solve the problem of increasing the effect depreciation, in a progressive manner, 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.

Pour résoudre le problème posé de permettre le basculement ou pivotement de l'écarteur supportant la lisse par rapport au poteau, la plaque de fixation avec le poteau présente des agencements pour être fixée en partie haute des ailes et éventuellement en partie basse.To solve the problem posed by allowing failover or pivoting of the spacer supporting the rail relative to the post, the plate attachment with the pole has arrangements to be fixed in upper part of the wings and possibly in the lower part.

Pour résoudre le problème posé d'assurer l'accouplement de la plaque entre les ailes de l'écarteur, de manière à réaliser une fixation temporaire apte à permettre l'effet de basculement, les agencements de la plaque sont constitués par des échancrures délimitant une zone de fixation supérieure et une zone de fixation inférieure.To solve the problem of ensuring the coupling of the plate between the wings of the spacer, so as to achieve a fixation a temporary device capable of allowing the tilting effect, the arrangements of the plate are constituted by notches delimiting a zone of fixation upper and lower attachment area.

A partir de cette forme de réalisation, la zone de fixation supérieure est plus importante que la zone de fixation inférieure. La zone de fixation supérieure est constituée par un rebord équerré.From this embodiment, the upper attachment area is larger than the lower attachment area. The fixing area upper is formed by a squared edge.

L'invention est exposée ci-après plus en détail à l'aide des figures des dessins annexés dans lesquels :

On rappelle, d'une manière parfaitement connue pour un homme du métier, qu'une barrière ou glissière de sécurité routière, comprend au moins une lisse horizontale (L) fixée sur des éléments support ou poteaux (P) maintenus au sol. Cette fixation s'effectue par l'intermédiaire d'éléments écarteurs (E). Comme indiqué, la lisse (L) peut présenter un profil en section délimitant des ondes longitudinales, dans le cas de glissières de sécurité métalliques. Ou bien cette lisse (L) peut être constituée par un fer de section transversale sensiblement en U dont les ailes sont repliées pour délimiter un rail interne de fixation. Ce profilé en U peut être engagé dans une mortaise que présente un rondin en bois (R) en vue de sa fixation.
   Les figures 7 et 8 montrent une application de l'écarteur pour la fixation de ce type de glissières « bois », ces exemples étant donnés à titre indicatif nullement limitatif.
It will be recalled, in a manner perfectly known to those skilled in the art, that 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). As indicated, the arm (L) may have a sectional profile delimiting longitudinal waves, in the case of metal guardrails. Or 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.

L'écarteur (E) selon l'invention est constitué par un corps (1) de section transversale sensiblement quadrangulaire délimitant deux ailes verticales parallèles (1a) et (1b) entretoisées, à chacune de leur extrémité, par une partie de fixation (1c) avec la lisse (L) et une partie de fixation (1d) avec le poteau (P). The spacer (E) according to the invention 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).

Selon l'invention, chacune des ailes (1a) et (1b) présente des agencements aptes à faire office d'absorbeur d'énergie sous l'effet d'un choc. Ces agencements sont constitués par une déformation de chacune desdites ailes, constituant une pliure verticale (le). Avantageusement, cette pliure verticale (1e) forme deux ailes disposées angulairement, selon un angle d'environ 80° par exemple, en délimitant deux ailes de longueur inégale. L'aile de plus grande longueur est située du côté de la partie de fixation (1c) avec la lisse (L). A noter que la partie de fixation (1c) et les ailes (1a) et (1b) sont principalement constituées à partir d'une tôle convenablement repliée. La partie de fixation (1c), qui constitue une plaque d'appui, présente un trou (1c1) pour l'engagement d'un organe d'assemblage du type boulon apte à coopérer avec des agencements de la lisse (L).According to the invention, 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). Advantageously, 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). Note that 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).

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'organe écarteur (1) présente des agencements aptes à permettre son pivotement par rapport au poteau (P) sous l'effet d'un choc. Dans ce but, la partie de fixation (1d) est constituée par une plaque montée à l'extrémité des ailes (1a) et (1b), avec capacité de pivotement vers le bas, à l'intérieur desdites ailes. Pour obtenir cette fonction, la plaque (1d) est fixée entre les ailes (1a) et (1b), d'une manière rapportée, et présentent des agencements spécifiques pour permettre, à la fois, la fixation de l'écarteur par rapport au poteau, et le basculement dudit écarteur par rapport audit poteau sous l'effet d'un choc.According to another characteristic of the invention, the spacer member (1) presents arrangements able to allow its pivoting with respect to the post (P) under the effect of a shock. For this purpose, 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. To get this function, 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.

Comme le montre notamment la figure 6, la plaque arrière de fixation (1d) présente, le long de ses bords verticaux, des échancrures (1d1) délimitant une zone de fixation supérieure (1d2) et une zone de fixation inférieure (1d3). La zone de fixation supérieure (1d2) est constituée par un rebord sensiblement équerré, de manière à constituer une zone à partir de laquelle va basculer l'ensemble écarteur (E) sous l'effet du choc. Inversement, la zone de fixation (1d3), qui est peu importante, constitue une portée d'assemblage réduite pour être facilement détachable en cas de choc. Autrement dit, la zone de fixation supérieure (1d1) est permanente, tandis que la zone de fixation inférieure est temporaire.As shown in particular in Figure 6, 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. Conversely, the zone of fixation (1d3), which is of little importance, constitutes a reduced assembly range to be easily detachable in case of impact. In other words, the upper fixation zone (1d1) is permanent, while that the lower fixation zone is temporary.

Compte tenu des caractéristiques à la base de l'invention, il apparaít que, sous l'effet d'un choc exercé sur la lisse (L), les pliures verticales (1e) font office d'amortisseur, en étant progressivement déformées tandis qu'au niveau de la plaque de fixation arrière (1d), l'écarteur a tendance à basculer par rapport à la zone de fixation (1d1), sous l'effet de la rupture de la zone d'assemblage inférieure (1d3). Sous l'effet de ce basculement, les ailes coiffent la section transversale externe du poteau (figure 8). Compte tenu de ces dispositions, la lisse n'a pas tendance à se soulever, mais à demeurer parallèle sous l'effet du choc.Given the basic characteristics of the invention, it appears that that, under the effect of a shock exerted on the beam (L), the vertical bends (1e) act as a shock absorber, being progressively deformed while level of the rear mounting plate (1d), the spreader tends to tip relative to the fixation zone (1d1), under the effect of the rupture of the zone lower assembly (1d3). Under the effect of this tilting, the wings cover the external cross section of the post (Figure 8). Given these provisions, the stringer does not tend to lift, but to remain parallel under the effect of shock.

Bien évidemment, la plaque de fixation arrière (1d) présente tout type d'agencement pour être fixée sur le poteau. Par exemple, cette plaque (1d) présente une ouverture (1d4) pour l'engagement d'un organe d'assemblage du type boulon coopérant, d'une manière connue, avec des agencements du poteau support.Of course, the rear mounting plate (1d) has all type of arrangement to be attached to the pole. For example, 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.

Les avantages ressortent bien de la description.The advantages are apparent from the description.
