Description

L'invention concerne un support de fixation pour accessoire sur séparateur routier modulaire béton. Elle a des applications notamment dans le domaine du génie civil et plus particulièrement la construction et l'entretien des voies de circulation.The invention relates to an attachment support for an accessory on a concrete modular road separator. It has applications particularly in the field of civil engineering and more particularly the construction and maintenance of traffic lanes.

Les séparateurs routiers modulaires ou séparateurs modulaires de voies (SMV) en béton sont des éléments préfabriqués en béton qui peuvent être mis en place et retirés relativement rapidement le long des voies de circulation. A cette fin, chaque SMV comporte en général au moins un dispositif de prise du module installé à demeure sur le module pour pouvoir le déplacer par un engin de chantier comportant un bras manipulateur. Cette manipulation du module se fait généralement par élinguage avec un/des câble(s) dont le/les extrémités sont fixées d'une manière temporaire au dispositif de prise du module. Une fois la manipulation effectuée, soit pour retrait, soit pour déplacement, soit pour mise en place du module, le/les câbles sont décrochés du module. Ainsi, en dehors de ces périodes de manipulation, au moins un dispositif de prise reste disponible sur le module.Modular road separators or Modular Track Separators (VMS) made of concrete are prefabricated concrete elements that can be set up and removed relatively quickly along roadways. To this end, each VPS generally comprises at least one plug device permanently installed on the module to be moved by a construction machine with a manipulator arm. This handling of the module is generally done by slinging with a cable (s) whose end (s) are fixed temporarily to the module gripping device. Once the manipulation performed, either for removal, or for movement, or for implementation of the module, the / cables are removed from the module. Thus, outside these handling periods, at least one gripping device remains available on the module.

La présente invention propose d'utiliser ce dispositif de prise qui devient libre après manipulation pour fixation avec un support de fixation d'un ou plusieurs accessoires sur le module. Ces accessoires sont notamment des délinéateurs de voies, des supports notamment pour écrans anti-éblouissement ou d'autres accessoires de glissière, l'accessoire étant intégré ou étant rapporté sur le support de fixation.The present invention proposes to use this gripping device which becomes free after manipulation for fixing with a support for fixing one or more accessories on the module. These accessories are in particular channel delineators, including supports for anti-glare screens or other slide accessories, the accessory being integrated or being attached to the mounting bracket.

Elle concerne plus particulièrement des modules avec dispositif de prise à type d'ancre sensiblement affleurante en surface de la partie supérieure du module et prise pour sa partie inférieure dans le béton dudit module, la partie supérieure de l'ancre comportant une tête d'accrochage restant accessible dans un évidemment du module. Ainsi, en dehors de l'utilisation de l'ancre, celle-ci ne déborde pas du module. On connaît par US 5,528,867 un couvercle destiné à fermer un évidement comportant une telle ancre.It relates more particularly to modules with an anchor type catch device substantially flush on the surface of the upper part of the module and taken for its lower part in the concrete of said module, the upper part of the anchor comprising a hooking head remaining accessible in an obviously module. Thus, apart from the use of the anchor, it does not overflow the module. We know by US5,528,867 a cover for closing a recess comprising such an anchor.

Dans une modalité de réalisation particulière, elle est spécialement adaptée aux ancres de la société Artéon et par exemple l'ancre magasin Artéon réf 6070.In a particular embodiment, it is specially adapted to the anchors of the company Artéon and for example the Artéon anchor ref 6070.

On comprend bien que dans le cadre de l'invention, un accessoire n'est pas un élément destiné à la manipulation pour mise en place, déplacement ou retrait du séparateur modulaire béton.It is well understood that in the context of the invention, an accessory is not an element intended for manipulation for placing, moving or removing the modular concrete separator.

Ainsi, l'invention concerne un support de fixation pour accessoire sur séparateur routier modulaire béton, le module séparateur comportant vers sa partie supérieure au moins un dispositif de prise destiné aux manipulations dudit module, ledit dispositif de prise étant pris dans le béton à sa partie inférieure et comportant une tête d'accrochage à sa partie supérieure, ladite tête d'accrochage étant accessible dans un évidemment correspondant de la partie supérieure du module, ledit dispositif de prise ne débordant pas de la partie supérieure du module, ladite partie supérieure du module étant d'une largeur déterminée et se raccordant latéralement à deux faces inclinées latérales dudit module.Thus, the invention relates to a mounting bracket for accessory modular concrete road separator, the separator module having to its upper part at least one gripping device for manipulations of said module, said gripping device being taken in the concrete to its part lower and having a latching head at its upper part, said latching head being accessible in a corresponding recess of the upper part of the module, said gripping device not projecting from the upper part of the module, said upper part of the module being of a determined width and laterally connected to two lateral inclined faces of said module.

Selon l'invention, le support comporte une partie de recouvrement destinée à venir sensiblement épouser la partie supérieure dudit module et à la face inférieure de la partie de recouvrement, un moyen d'accrochage complémentaire de la tête d'accrochage, l'accrochage du moyen d'accrochage sur la tête d'accrochage étant amovible pour permettre un démontage dudit support, l'accessoire étant destiné à être disposé vers la face supérieure de ladite partie de recouvrement.According to the invention, the support comprises a covering part intended to substantially conform to the upper part of said module and to the lower face of the covering part, a complementary coupling means of the attachment head, the attachment of the attachment means on the attachment head being removable to allow disassembly of said support, the accessory being intended to be disposed towards the upper face of said covering portion.

  • the insertion space is tightened outside the zone intended to receive the gripping device in order to prevent any tilting of the support,

Grâce à l'invention, les accessoires et supports peuvent être récupérés par démontage, contrairement à la mise en oeuvre antérieure dans laquelle les accessoires sont fixés définitivement sur le module par collage ou vissage/ « spitage ».Thanks to the invention, the accessories and supports can be recovered by disassembly, unlike the previous implementation in which the accessories are permanently fixed to the module by gluing or screwing / "spitage".

La présente invention, sans qu'elle en soit pour autant limitée, va maintenant être exemplifiée avec la description qui suit de modes de réalisation en relation avec :

  • la Figure 1 qui représente une vue avant d'un support selon l'invention,
  • la Figure 2 qui représente une vue en coupe médiane du support de la Figure 1 selon la coupe A-A,

  • la Figure 11 qui représente une vue en perspective du support double hauteur de la Figure 9, et
  • la Figure 12 qui représente une vue en perspective du support double horizontal de la Figure 10.
The present invention, without being limited thereto, will now be exemplified with the following description of embodiments in connection with:
  • the Figure 1 which represents a front view of a support according to the invention,
  • the Figure 2 which represents a cross-sectional view of the support of the Figure 1 according to the AA cut,
  • the Figure 3 which represents a bottom view of the support of the Figure 1 ,
  • the Figure 4 which represents a top view of the support of the Figure 1 ,
  • the Figure 5 which represents a rear view of the support of the Figure 1 ,
  • the Figure 6 which represents a para-lateral sectional view of the support of the Figure 1 according to the BB section shown Figure 5 ,
  • the Figure 7 which represents a side view of the support of the Figure 1 ,

  • the Figure 11 which represents a perspective view of the double height support of the Figure 9 , and
  • the Figure 12 which represents a perspective view of the horizontal double support of the Figure 10 .

L'exemple de support représenté sur les Figures 1 à 8 est plus spécialement destiné à un accessoire du type délinéateur de voie de circulation avec catadioptre, le catadioptre venant se fixer sur le support. La fixation amovible du support sur le dispositif de prise du séparateur modulaire est dans cet exemple du type à basculement.The example of support represented on Figures 1 to 8 is more specifically intended for an accessory of the lane delineator type with reflector, the reflex reflector being fixed on the support. The removable attachment of the support on the setting device of the modular separator is in this example of the tilting type.

Sur la Figure 1 , le support 1 , comporte une partie de recouvrement 2 ici sensiblement plane du fait que le séparateur modulaire considéré a une face supérieure sensiblement plane. La partie de recouvrement 2 se poursuit latéralement par deux rabats 2a destinés à venir en recouvrement d'une partie haute des deux parois latérales du séparateur. A la face inférieure de la partie de recouvrement est disposé un moyen d'accrochage 3 destiné à venir en prise sur une tête d'accrochage d'un dispositif de prise 10 disposée dans un évidemment 9 d'un séparateur modulaire 8 (voir également la Figure 8). Le moyen d'accrochage 3 est ici une pince à deux doigts 5 courbes destinés à être glissés lors du basculement du support sous un élargissement du dispositif de prise. Lors du basculement, la partie du dispositif de prise 10 située sous l'élargissement passe dans l'espace d'insertion 6 entre les deux doigts 5. Des moyens de forçage du passage sont de préférence mis en oeuvre afin de réduire les risques d'un démontage accidentel du support lorsqu'il est soumis à des forces de basculement (courant d'air notamment). Ces moyens sont notamment un rétrécissement visible à l'entrée de l'espace d'insertion 6. Par ailleurs, un forçage supplémentaire vertical est mis en oeuvre grâce à des pieds 7 disposés à la face inférieure de la partie de recouvrement 2 qui est relativement élastique et se déforme élastiquement lors de l'insertion du support. De ce fait, l'élargissement du dispositif de prise 10 se trouve serré contre la face supérieure des doigts 5 du moyen d'accrochage 3. Une aile verticale 4 est disposée à la face supérieure de la partie de recouvrement 2 et elle est destinée à recevoir un/des catadioptres.On the Figure 1 , the support 1 has a covering portion 2 here substantially flat because the modular separator considered has a substantially flat upper face. The covering part 2 continues laterally by two flaps 2a intended to come into covering an upper part of the two side walls of the separator. At the lower face of the covering part is arranged a hooking means 3 intended to engage on a gripping head of a gripping device 10 disposed in a recess 9 of a modular separator 8 (see also FIG. Figure 8 ). The attachment means 3 here is a two-finger pliers 5 curves to be slid during the tilting of the support under an enlargement of the gripping device. During tilting, the portion of the gripping device 10 located under the widening passes into the insertion space 6 between the two fingers 5. Forcing means of the passage are preferably implemented in order to reduce the risks of accidental disassembly of the support when it is subjected to tilting forces (air flow in particular). These means are in particular a narrowing visible at the entrance of the insertion space 6. Moreover, a vertical additional forcing is implemented thanks to the feet 7 arranged on the lower face of the covering portion 2 which is relatively elastic and deforms elastically during the insertion of the support. As a result, the enlargement of the gripping device 10 is tightened against the upper surface of the fingers 5 of the fastening means 3. A vertical flange 4 is disposed at the upper face of the covering portion 2 and is intended for receive one or more retro-reflectors.

Les Figures suivantes permettent de mieux visualiser les éléments précédemment décrits. En particulier, avec les Figures 2, 6, 7 et 8 on se rend bien compte que du fait de la forme courbe des doigts 5 du moyen d'accrochage 3, il est nécessaire de basculer le support aussi bien lors de sa mise en place que lors de son retrait/démontage.The following figures make it possible to better visualize the elements previously described. In particular, with the Figures 2 , 6 , 7 and 8 it is well appreciated that because of the curved shape of the fingers 5 of the attachment means 3, it is necessary to tilt the support both when it is put in place and during its removal / disassembly.

Les Figures 9 à 12 sont des variantes du support précédent, variantes concernant essentiellement la structure de l'aile 4 avec pour les Figures 9 et 11 une aile 4' double hauteur par rapport à la précédente et les Figures 10 et 12 une aile 4" double horizontal. On comprend que de nombreuses variantes d'ailes sont possibles dans le cadre de l'invention, notamment en fonction de l'accessoire prévu.The Figures 9 to 12 are variants of the previous support, variants essentially concerning the structure of the wing 4 with for the Figures 9 and 11 a wing 4 'double height compared to the previous and the Figures 10 and 12 a wing 4 "horizontal double It is understood that many wing variants are possible in the context of the invention, in particular according to the accessory provided.

A noter que, de préférence, le support est réalisé dans une matière plastique et est moulé et que sa structure est telle qu'un démoulage naturel est possible, en particulier il n'y a pas besoin de prévoir dans le moule de pièce mobile pour former certaines parties du support (il n'y a pas de partie rentrante nécessitant une telle pièce mobile de moulage). L'avantage d'une matière plastique est que l'on peut rendre élastique certaines parties du support d'une manière relativement contrôlée (notamment en fonction de l'épaisseur de la matière, par ajout de renforts...) pour permettre un forçage du support sur le module séparateur et sur le dispositif de prise.Note that, preferably, the support is made of a plastic material and is molded and that its structure is such that a natural mold is possible, in particular there is no need to provide in the mold of moving part for form some parts of the support (there is no reentrant part requiring such a movable molding part). The advantage of a plastic material is that certain parts of the support can be made elastic in a relatively controlled manner (in particular according to the thickness of the material, by adding reinforcements, etc.) to allow forcing of the support on the separator module and on the gripping device.

L'invention peut être déclinée de nombreuses manières et en particulier le moyen d'accrochage 3 peut être du type à insertion verticale au lieu de basculement. De plus, de nombreux moyens de forçage peuvent être mis en oeuvre afin de contraindre positivement le support dans une position correcte. A titre d'exemple on peut prévoir un forçage moindre de l'élargissement du dispositif de prise ou de la partie en dessous de l'élargissement lorsque le support a atteint sa position correcte (par exemple un renfoncement à la partie supérieure des deux doigts ou dans les guides des doigts et de forme complémentaire de l'élargissement, par exemple un élargissement dans l'espace d'insertion...).The invention can be declined in many ways and in particular the attachment means 3 can be of the vertical insertion type instead of tilting. In addition, many forcing means can be implemented to positively constrain the support in a correct position. By way of example, provision may be made for less forcing of the widening of the gripping device or of the part below the widening when the support has reached its correct position (for example a recess in the upper part of the two fingers or in the finger guides and complementary shape of the enlargement, for example an enlargement in the insertion space ...).
