Abstract

The beacon has a restraining foot implanted at an end of a rectangular vertical signaling panel (1). A transverse semi-cylindrical open box (3) is opened on a visible face of the panel. The foot is formed by another open box (4). An opening i.e. concavity (4a), is turned on a side of another visible face of the panel. One of ends of the foot crosses the former box at a medium of the former box. T-shaped hollow beams are located at a removable base of the panel. The beams project on the latter face of the panel, where the beacon is formed by a thin sheet i.e. injected plastic.

Description

La présente invention concerne une balise voirie temporaire comportant un panneau de signalisation vertical en forme de quadrilatère allongé dressé sur un socle amovible et formant lest pour le panneau.The present invention relates to a temporary road beacon comprising an elongate quadrilateral shaped vertical traffic sign erected on a removable base and forming ballast for the panel.

ARRIERE PLAN DE L'INVENTIONBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Ce genre de balises existe depuis de nombreuses années et leur géométrie est normalisée.This kind of tags has existed for many years and their geometry is standardized.

Les plus récentes sont réalisées en matière plastique, dont le panneau est en forme de coque creuse qui se comporte comme un caisson pratiquement indéformable. A une extrémité, ce panneau se prolonge par une partie triangulaire aboutissant à une pièce massive de section carrée qui permet de planter et d'encastrer la balise dans un socle pesant.The most recent are made of plastic, whose panel is shaped hollow shell that behaves like a virtually indeformable box. At one end, this panel is extended by a triangular portion ending in a massive piece of square section that can plant and embed the beacon in a heavy base.

Ces balises sont lourdes et encombrantes ce qui constitue un handicap pour leur entreposage, leur transport et leur manipulation.These tags are heavy and bulky which is a handicap for their storage, transportation and handling.

Une balise selon la préambule de la revendication 1 est connue de US 6 402 422 B1 .A beacon according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US 6,402,422 B1 .

L'invention se propose de pallier cet inconvénient des balises existantes par une structure beaucoup plus légère et empilable, réalisée à partir d'une feuille mince qui néanmoins conserve la raideur nécessaire à un comportement correct de la balise en utilisation notamment en regard de la poussée de l'air résultant du passage des véhicules à proximité de la borne.The invention proposes to overcome this disadvantage of the existing beacons by a much lighter and stackable structure, made from a thin sheet which nevertheless retains the stiffness necessary for correct behavior of the beacon in use especially with regard to the thrust air resulting from the passage of vehicles near the terminal.

OBJET DE L'INVENTIONOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

C'est ainsi que l'invention a pour objet une balise de voirie formée dans une feuille mince, comportant un panneau sensiblement rectangulaire à une extrémité duquel est implanté un pied d'encastrement dans une embase de maintien, caractérisée en ce que le bord du panneau est à cette extrémité conformé en un premier caisson transversal ouvert sur une face du panneau et en ce que le pied d'encastrement est formé par un deuxième caisson ouvert, perpendiculaire au premier caisson, son ouverture étant tournée du côté de l'autre face du panneau et l'une de ses extrémités croisant le premier caisson sensiblement au milieu de ce dernier.Thus, the invention relates to a road beacon formed in a thin sheet, comprising a substantially rectangular panel at one end of which is implanted a mounting foot in a holding base, characterized in that the edge of the panel is at this end shaped as a first transverse box open on one side of the panel and in that the embedding foot is formed by a second open box, perpendicular to the first box, its opening being turned towards the other side of the panel and one of its ends crossing the first box substantially in the middle of the latter.

La partie inférieure de la balise ainsi construite, comporte à la base du panneau une poutre creuse en T qui rigidifie le panneau juste au dessus de son encastrement dans la base qui doit l'accueillir. Cette poutre creuse est en saillie d'un côté du panneau au niveau de la barre du T alors que la jambe est en saillie de l'autre côté du panneau.The lower part of the beacon thus constructed, has at the base of the panel a hollow beam T that stiffens the panel just above its recess in the base that must accommodate it. This hollow beam protrudes from one side of the panel at the T bar while the leg protrudes from the other side of the panel.

Les parois qui sont en saillies du plan du panneau sont avantageusement pourvue d'une dépouille de sorte que les creux d'une face d'une balise peuvent recevoir les reliefs de l'autre face d'une autre balise ; les balises peuvent ainsi s'emboîter les unes dans les autres ce qui réduit considérablement le volume de leur stockage. En outre, formée par un matériau en feuille mince, notamment une matière plastique injectée, elles sont beaucoup plus légères que les balises de ce genre actuellement sur le marché. Leur manutention n'en est que facilitée.The walls which are projecting from the plane of the panel are advantageously provided with a relief so that the hollows of one face of a beacon can receive the reliefs of the other face of another beacon; the tags can thus fit into each other, which significantly reduces the volume of their storage. In addition, formed by a thin sheet material, especially an injected plastic material, they are much lighter than the tags of this kind currently on the market. Their handling is only facilitated.

Selon une caractéristique secondaire de l'invention, les bords latéraux du panneau sont bordés par des caissons ouverts de raidissage du panneau pour l'empêcher de fléchir sous l'effet d'une poussée perpendiculaire à son plan. Ces caissons latéraux sont situés comme le pied du panneau avec leur ouverture tournée vers la même face et en saillie par rapport à l'autre face. De la même manière, les côtés de chaque caisson possèdent une dépouille pour permettre l'emboîtement au moins partiel des bords de deux panneaux rassemblés.According to a secondary feature of the invention, the side edges of the panel are bordered by open boxes stiffening the panel to prevent it from bending under the effect of a thrust perpendicular to its plane. These side boxes are located as the foot of the panel with their opening facing the same face and projecting from the other side. In the same way, the sides of each box have a recess to allow at least partial nesting of the edges of two panels together.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description donnée ci-après d'un exemple de réalisation de l'invention.Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description given below of an exemplary embodiment of the invention.

Il sera fait référence aux dessins annexés parmi lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue extérieure d'un panneau selon une première face,
  • la figure 2 est une vue extérieure de l'autre face de ce panneau.
Reference will be made to the appended drawings among which:
  • the figure 1 is an outside view of a panel according to a first face,
  • the figure 2 is an outside view of the other side of this panel.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE L'INVENTIONDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Ainsi, à ces figures on a représenté une balise selon l'invention qui est constituée d'un panneau rectangulaire (il pourrait être trapézoïdal ou de toute autre forme plutôt allongée verticalement en service) 1 situé dans un plan P. Ce panneau possède donc une face 1a, visible sur la figure 1 et une face 1b visible sur la figure 2. L'un des bords 2, le bord supérieur, est équipé d'un retour 2a qui fait rebord en saillie de la face 1a.Thus, in these figures there is shown a beacon according to the invention which consists of a rectangular panel (it could be trapezoidal or any other shape rather elongated vertically in service) 1 located in a plane P. This panel therefore has a face 1a, visible on the figure 1 and a face 1b visible on the figure 2 . One of the edges 2, the upper edge, is equipped with a return 2a projecting rim of the face 1a.

Au voisinage de son autre bord, le panneau 1 est conformé en un caisson 3 ouvert semi cylindrique dont la paroi mince, de la même épaisseur que celle du panneau 1, définit une face concave 3a et une face convexe 3b totalement en saillie de la face 1b du panneau. Ce caisson est divisé en deux parties par un deuxième caisson (pied d'encastrement de la balise) ouvert 4 qui possède quant à lui son ouverture (concavité 4a) tournée du côté de la face 1b du panneau 1 et qui est en saillie (surface convexe 4b) de la face 1a du panneau. La section de ce caisson est sensiblement carrée et les ailes 4c et 4d du caisson pénètrent dans la concavité 5a du caisson semi cylindrique 3 en formant une solution de continuité de sa paroi. Les ailes 4c et 4d sont légèrement divergentes en direction de l'ouverture du caisson de sorte qu'il existe une dépouille permettant à la face convexe 4b d'un pied d'être emboîtée dans la surface concave du pied d'une balise voisine accolée par sa face 1b contre la face 1a de la balise en question. De la même manière, la face convexe 3b du caisson semi cylindrique de la balise en question s'emboîte (au moins partiellement) dans la concavité 3a de la balise accolée. On aura prévu à cet effet des rayons de courbure des faces 3a et 3b qui ne soient pas concentriques voire une épaisseur variable de la paroi du premier caisson de manière que l'emboîtement soit le plus profond possible.In the vicinity of its other edge, the panel 1 is shaped as a semi-cylindrical open housing 3 whose thin wall, of the same thickness as that of the panel 1, defines a concave face 3a and a convex face 3b totally projecting from the face 1b of the panel. This box is divided into two parts by a second box (mounting foot of the beacon) open 4 which has meanwhile its opening (concavity 4a) turned on the side of the side 1b of the panel 1 and which is projecting (surface convex 4b) of the face 1a of the panel. The section of this box is substantially square and the flanges 4c and 4d of the box penetrate into the concavity 5a of the semi-cylindrical box 3 forming a solution of continuity of its wall. The wings 4c and 4d are slightly divergent towards the opening of the box so that there is a draft allowing the convex face 4b of a foot to be nested in the concave surface of the foot of a nearby adjoining tag by its face 1b against the face 1a of the tag in question. In the same way, the convex face 3b of the semi-cylindrical box of the beacon in question fits (at least partially) in the concavity 3a of the adjoining beacon. It will be provided for this purpose radii of curvature of the faces 3a and 3b which are not concentric or even a variable thickness of the wall of the first box so that the nesting is as deep as possible.

La rigidité de la balise est augmentée par la présence de raidisseurs latéraux formés par des caissons ouverts 5 et 6, totalement situés en saillie de la face 1a du panneau, dont l'ouverture est tournée du côté de la face 1b et dont les parois longitudinales sont également en légère dépouille divergente en direction de cette face 1b pour qu'un emboîtement puisse avoir lieu lorsque deux balises sont accolées. Chaque caisson a sa profondeur qui va en diminuant en direction du rebord 2a qui en constitue la cloison de fermeture extrême tandis qu'à l'autre extrémité, le fond du caisson est arrondi en symétrie de la surface concave 3b.The rigidity of the beacon is increased by the presence of lateral stiffeners formed by open boxes 5 and 6, totally located projecting from the face 1a of the panel, whose opening is turned towards the side of the face 1b and whose longitudinal walls are also slightly divergent in the direction of this face 1b so that a nest can take place when two tags are contiguous. Each box has its depth which decreases in the direction of the flange 2a which constitutes the closing bulkhead while at the other end, the bottom of the box is rounded in symmetry of the concave surface 3b.

A l'intérieur des différents caissons qui le bordent, le panneau 1 est porteur de bandes ou surfaces colorées et/ou réfléchissantes qui constituent les signaux routiers proprement dits.Inside the various boxes which border it, the panel 1 is carrying bands or colored and / or reflective surfaces which constitute the road signs themselves.

Bien entendu, la géométrie de cette balise se prête à une fabrication par injection d'une matière plastique, les convexités et concavités ainsi que les dépouilles étant disposées de manière à permettre un démoulage aisé par ouverture d'un moule en deux parties. D'autres fabrications (par déformation à chaud ou par assemblage) peuvent être également envisagées.Of course, the geometry of this beacon lends itself to injection molding of a plastic material, the convexities and concavities as well as the remains being arranged so as to allow easy demolding by opening a two-part mold. Other fabrications (by hot deformation or assembly) can also be envisaged.
