Description

The invention relates to a foot plate for mobile traffic safety devices according to the features in the preamble of claim 1 and a traffic safety device with such a base plate according to the features of claim 12.

When working on, next to or above roads, they must be temporarily closed off as traffic areas. The same applies to the construction of construction sites of all kinds. Specially constructed fences initially prevent the access of unauthorized persons to the construction site. A sometimes necessary intervention in the road requires further security measures, the design of which depends on the nature and duration of the work to be carried out.

The security measures to be taken serve the general separation of traffic functions and construction work. This is intended to prevent hazards to workers and equipment and machinery as far as possible.

In addition to the pure shut-off function especially color-coded traffic safety devices are used in addition to the identification above all the visual traffic management.

The traffic safety devices used are temporary arrangements. In this case, for example, practicable requirements, such as a quick assembly and disassembly with simultaneous robustness and stability must be met. The additional legal requirements arise, for example, from the valid Road Traffic Act (StVO) and the Guidelines for the Securing of Road Employment (RSA).

The choice of the respective traffic safety device depends on the intended use. Various elements are available for this purpose, such as barriers, safety barriers, beacons, construction fences, lighting, traffic lights, traffic signs and warning lights. The installation is carried out by means of appropriate devices that include as base a corresponding base plate. In addition to the required weight of at least 28 kg, the foot plates used have a rectangular base body with receiving openings, which are provided for plug-in receptacle of the traffic safety devices. The foot plates are combined with the respective traffic safety device so that a sufficient stability is ensured. In this case, the foot plate usually extends at a right angle to the flat Windeinzugsfläche of the inserted element. In order to minimize a possible risk of tripping and obstruction of the rolling traffic, the footplate is aligned as parallel as possible to the respective traffic direction.

The DE 10 2007 029 101 A1 discloses a means for attaching a beacon to a footplate. The beacon has at its lower end a foot piece which can be inserted in a socket of the foot plate. The coupling takes place via an arranged between the beacon and the base plate adapter insert. In the coupled state, the beacon is aligned at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the foot plates.

The foot plates known in the prior art have a central receiving opening, for example for inserting a beacon or a traffic sign. Two more, arranged on the narrow side of the base plate towards receiving openings serve, for example, the inclusion of barriers. These usually round receiving openings offer various degrees of freedom in relation to the respective course of the inserted elements and their location to the base plate. In order to allow any nodes between traffic safety devices and a possible combination of more than two shut-off elements, the erection of multiple foot plates is required.

The foot plate itself has a rectangular shape, being aligned either in the longitudinal direction of the erected elements or transversely thereto. The receiving openings extend in a direction arranged transversely in succession. Parts of the foot plates should not protrude more than 250 mm, measured by the blocking element, into the current traffic. To ensure this, the foot plates used in the prior art must sometimes be aligned in the longitudinal direction of the shut-off elements, so that the successive elements do not run in alignment, but each jump in their fixing points in the receiving openings of the base plate. As a result, there is an offset between the elements. Since the shut-off elements used in the prior art sometimes have on its upper side a lock, but this lock can only be used in mutually aligned elements, these elements are offset and unlocked in the receiving openings of the foot plates.

Other foot plates for mobile traffic safety devices are in different embodiments of the DE 196 52 696 A1 , of the WO 2010/031122 A1 , of the DE 92 14 582 U1 and the FR 2 749 031 A1 known.

Against this background, the combination of traffic safety devices with the respective foot plates still offers room for improvement.

The present invention is based on the object to show a footplate as flexible as possible for mobile traffic safety devices, which can be combined with different traffic safety devices and therefore is very economical to use.

The solution to this problem consists according to the invention in a base plate for mobile traffic safety devices according to the features of protection claim. 1 and in a traffic safety arrangement according to the features of claim 12.

The foot plate comprises a base body with receiving openings. The receiving openings are provided for plug-in of traffic safety devices. The main body has a maximum height of 130 mm. In principle, the maximum height of the base body can also be 125 mm or 120 mm. Furthermore, the main body is divided by a central transverse axis into two transverse halves. By a central transverse axis intersecting and perpendicular to this extending central longitudinal axis of the main body is divided into two longitudinal halves. Overall, the main body of the base plate is divided by the central transverse axis and the central longitudinal axis in four quarters. According to the invention, at least three receiving openings each define an identical maximum inner circle at least in regions. These three receiving openings are arranged at the intersections of a triangle to each other. The triangle includes between two of its sides a maximum angle of 60 ° to 120 ° to each other.

The shape of the receiving openings according to the invention is round, there may be more receiving openings are present, the limiting areas are designed, for example, round or square. Also asymmetrical opening cross-sections are conceivable. In principle, the receiving openings have at least three areas which come into circumferential contact with an imaginary inner circle oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the receiving opening and thus limit it. The points touching the inner circle may have a point or line contact. The inner circle is, in particular, the inner diameter of circular receiving openings.

The particular advantage is initially in an increased number of receiving openings, whereby a higher flexibility is possible with respect to the possible number of insertable elements. In addition, the distribution of the receiving openings is chosen so that the usual traffic safety devices can be easily combined with the base plate.

The arranged in the base plate receiving openings reduce the weight of the base plate. Too high a number of receiving openings can cause the footplate weight falls below a critical and / or required order of magnitude. Against this background, therefore, the number and arrangement of the receiving openings is chosen so that they show in coordination with the weight and dimensions of the base plate an economical and flexible and universally usable base plate.

The main body itself is configured rectangular. Depending on the requirement, the basic body may also be oval, round, rectangular or polygonal. Combinations of the above are also conceivable. The main body may also be only partially angular, with other areas, for example, have a rounded shape. Likewise, the base body may also have a trapezoidal shape.

Advantageous developments of the inventive concept are the subject of the dependent claims 2 to 15.

After that, the two sides of the triangle enclose a maximum angle of 75 ° to 105 ° between them. In a further embodiment, the two sides of the triangle include a maximum angle of 80 ° to 100 ° or of 85 ° to 95 ° between them. Advantageously, the arranged in the intersections of the triangle receiving openings are arranged so that the two sides of the triangle form an angle of 90 ° between them.

It is envisaged that a total of four receiving openings are arranged in a rectangle or square. In principle, a trapezoidal arrangement is conceivable. Due to the rectangular and equally spaced arrangement of the receiving openings in particular the inclusion of continuous shut-off is facilitated, which are thereby held in alignment with each other in the base plate. In particular, in the arrangement of several continuous shut-off elements allow the four receiving openings within the base plate the simple and aligned construction of a node. For example, four fences or fall protection can be crossed within only a single foot plate. In an arrangement of Receiving openings completely within one of the two halves of the body, the foot plate can be arranged below the traffic safety devices so that the projecting beyond the junction part of the base plate is as low as possible and thus does not pose a stumbling hazard.

The free orientation of the base plate below the traffic safety device directions allows, in particular in the vicinity of, for example, excavation pits as close as possible to the edge of the structure of the traffic safety elements. The base plate is arranged so that its center of gravity is placed as far away as possible from the edge of the excavation. This results in spite of the edge near a full-surface and therefore safe footing of the base plate on a stable surface.

The four receiving openings have a longitudinal distance and a transverse distance from each other. In each case two of the four receiving openings can be parallel or at an angle. The longitudinal distance and the transverse distance in this case have a ratio of 0.6 to 1.4 to each other. In particular, the ratio is 0.7 to 1.3.

The mutually arranged in the triangle receiving openings have a maximum distance of 180 mm from each other. The distance is in each case defined between the individual centers of the receiving openings. In a variant, the mutually arranged in the triangle receiving openings have a maximum distance of 150 mm or 125 mm to each other. Advantageously, the maximum distance of the mutually arranged in the triangle receiving openings is 100 mm. In particular, with a maximum inner circle of 43 mm, the maximum distance of the mutually arranged in the triangle receiving openings 93 mm. Basically, the maximum distance can be 93 mm or 63 mm. It is also conceivable a maximum distance of 53 mm or 43 mm, wherein the receiving openings intersect.

The invention provides that at least one further of the receiving openings is arranged offset to the central longitudinal axis of the base body. The staggered arrangement allows, in addition to two parallel arranged traffic safety devices another element can be inserted at an angle to these within the footplate.

A further embodiment provides that at least four receiving openings are arranged within a quarter of the basic body bounded by the central longitudinal axis and the central transverse axis of the basic body. The close merging of the individual receiving openings allows a virtually closed course of the inserted elements, in particular with a combination of shut-off elements. Following the legal requirements, the shut-off elements are fixed to one another at their upper end opposite the foot plate via suitable connector elements. In this way, the shut-off elements are connected at the bottom of the foot plate and above the connector elements and held against each other. This increases their stability. In addition, a mutual skew is effectively prevented.

Depending on the configuration, at least one of the receiving openings is delimited at least in regions by toothed elements which are arranged one behind the other in the circumferential direction and which project in each case in the direction of the center of the receiving opening. The tooth elements in this case have resilient properties, so that an inserted traffic safety device undergoes a frictional coupling with the base plate. Since the existing between the individual tooth elements cavities favor the removal of water within the receiving opening, a freezing of a male element of the traffic safety device is prevented within the receiving opening, especially in the winter months.

At least one of the receiving openings may be formed in the form of a blind hole. In addition, at least one of the receiving openings may be formed in the form of a passage opening. Depending on the application, different insertion depths of the traffic safety device within the footplate are made possible.

Advantageously, the at least partially identical inner circle limiting receiving openings are circular. This is a combination with known round plug-in elements as foot pieces of traffic safety devices possible.

The invention provides that at least one of the receiving opening is formed as a slot. As a result, the area-wise maximum inner circle is limited by a maximum of two or three areas. A three-sided boundary takes place in the end regions of the slot, while the areas between the end regions have a two-sided boundary. The slot may, for example, have a ratio of inner diameter of the inner circle to its maximum longitudinal extent of 1: 1.1 to 1: 2.5. Advantageously, this ratio is from 1: 1.5 to 1: 2.1. This ratio is preferably 1: 2. The advantage lies in the flexible arrangement of a foot piece of a traffic safety arrangement within the slot. In particular, by manufacturing tolerances or temperature fluctuations, these may vary in length in the longitudinal direction, so that corresponding deviations can be absorbed through the slot.

It is further provided that the diameter of the inner circle of the at least three receiving openings is a maximum of 65 mm. The diameter of the inner circle is preferably from 30 to 65 mm. Depending on the design and einzusetzendem foot, the inner diameter of the at least three receiving openings of 30 to 60 mm. Advantageously, the diameter is from 30 to 43 mm. The currently used in the prior art round shapes of foot pieces of any traffic safety devices usually have an outer diameter of 42 or 60 mm, so that they can be easily arranged within the respective receiving opening.

Furthermore, at least six receiving openings are arranged in right-angled columns and rows. Each row comprises two receiving openings. Furthermore, the rows have a different distance from each other.

At least three receiving openings are arranged completely within one of the four halves of the main body of the foot plate.

The base body preferably has a metal identification area connected thereto. With the help of a suitable impact tool so a permanent identifier can be transferred to the base plate.

Furthermore, it is provided that the base body has on its underside at least one recess for weight reduction. This can be done in spite of large external dimensions easier to handle construction and dismantling of the base plate.

With regard to the weight and a high weather resistance of the base body of the foot plate is made of plastic. Basically, the production of the body made of rubber is possible. This is advantageously a hard rubber. The main body can also consist of a plastic-sand mixture, such as polyester concrete. In principle, however, other materials can also be used, such as concrete. The use of plastic may be recycled material. The recycled material may for example consist of recycled yogurt cups or cable sheathing. Preferably, recycled cable jacketing material is used to make the footplate.

The foot plate according to the invention allows a very flexible and economical use as the basis of a variety of traffic protection devices. Due to the number and arrangement of the receiving openings a variety of arrangements and combinations of plug-in elements allows. As a result, even any requirements are met, for example, include a combination of fence and previously placed fall protection. Even the combination with an additional traffic safety device can be realized with a single foot plate.

The arrangement of the individual receiving openings is chosen so that each result in ideal arrangements, especially in combination with plugged traffic safety devices. The edge distances are chosen so that the projecting beyond the dimensions of each inserted element out portions of the base plate are within the statutory magnitudes. Even if, for example, the at least three receiving openings bounding an identical inner circle could each be arranged in one of the quarters around the center of the footplate, unfavorable projections of the footplate with respect to the insertable elements result.

Also, a possible "skewed" arrangement of the at least three receiving openings within one half of the base plate, one of the receiving openings is arranged on the longitudinal or transverse axis, while the other two lie in a quarter, leads in particular with aligned inserted elements to a likewise inclined orientation of the footplate with respect to the longitudinal direction of the elements.

Furthermore, the invention shows a traffic safety arrangement according to the features of protection claim 12.

1. a) Absperrschranke
2. b) Absturzsicherung
3. c) Bauzaun
4. d) Bake
5. e) Beleuchtung
6. f) Lichtsignalanlage
7. g) Verkehrsschild
8. h) Warnleuchte.

The traffic safety arrangement according to the invention comprises at least one foot plate and at least one of the following traffic safety devices arranged thereon:

1. a) Barrier gate
2. b) fall protection
3. c) construction fence
4. d) Bake
5. e) lighting
6. f) traffic signal system
7. g) Road sign
8. h) Warning light.

The traffic safety devices listed under a) to c) are elongated elements, each having at least two feet. Therefore, it requires two mutually spaced foot plates for their installation. The elements listed under d) to h), however, each contain only a single foot piece, so that their installation a single foot plate is required. So For example, elements d) to h) may be arranged either alone in a base plate or in addition to one of the elements listed under a) to h).

In a first variant, at least two of the traffic safety devices listed under a) to c) are arranged parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the main body in the base plate for the traffic safety arrangement. As a result, for example, in the case of a rectangularly configured base plate, most of the base body is located below the traffic safety devices or points away from them in the longitudinal direction.

Alternatively, at least two of the traffic safety devices listed under a) to c) are arranged parallel to the central transverse axis of the base body. As a result, for example, in the case of a rectangularly configured base plate, the largest part of the basic body projects at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the traffic safety devices.

Adapted to the respective requirements, at least two of the traffic safety devices listed under a) to c) enclose an angle between 0 ° to 180 ° between them. By setting a plurality of foot plates in combination with continuous elements, such as construction fences or fall protection, so a closed limit can be performed.

Depending on requirements, at least two of the traffic safety devices listed under a) to c) enclose an angle between 0 ° to 90 ° between them. In this way, corner areas of a closed off area can be marked as well as blocked off.

Due to the large number of receiving openings within the base plate, at least two of the traffic safety devices listed under a) to c) are arranged together in at least one of the plates and spaced parallel to one another and spaced apart from one another in the transverse direction. In this way, for example, two shut-off elements can be arranged congruently one behind the other on each side in only one base plate.

The traffic safety devices can be arranged either parallel to the central longitudinal axis or the center transverse axis of the base plate. As a result, the greatest possible freedom is created with respect to the combination options of base plate and traffic safety devices.

In the context of the invention, it is further envisaged that at least one further of the traffic safety devices listed under d) to h) is arranged in a foot plate together with the traffic safety devices listed under a) to c). Basically, so many traffic safety devices can be arranged in a single base plate until all achievable receiving openings are occupied.

FIG. 1 shows a foot plate 1 according to the invention for mobile traffic safety devices in a plan view. The foot plate 1 comprises a main body 2 having a rectangular configuration. The main body 2 has a central longitudinal axis X and an orthogonal thereto transverse center axis Y, which intersect in a common center Z of the base body 2. By the central longitudinal axis X of the main body 2 is divided into two longitudinal halves L1, L2, wherein the first longitudinal half L1 in the illustration of FIG. 1 is located to the left of the central longitudinal axis X, while the second longitudinal half L2 is right of the central longitudinal axis X. Furthermore, the main body 2 is divided by the central transverse axis Y into two transverse halves Q1, Q2. The upper transverse half Q1 is in the representation of FIG. 1 above the central transverse axis Y, while the lower transverse half Q2 is below the central transverse axis Y. By the two central axes X, Y of the main body 2 is also divided into four equally sized quarters, which with reference to the representation of FIG. 1 from a quarter V1 beginning on the left in the upper transverse half Q1 and further quarters V2 to V4 distributed in a clockwise direction around the center Z.

The main body 2 has a plurality of receiving openings, which in the supervision of FIG. 1 extend perpendicular to the surface of the base body 2 therethrough. Three receiving openings are located completely within the upper transverse half Q1 of the main body 2 and arranged on the central longitudinal axis X. One of these receiving openings 3a is located near the center Z and has a square configuration. Furthermore, on a side facing away from the center Z side of the square receiving opening 3a two further successively located round receiving openings 3b are arranged. The rounds Receiving openings 3b are spaced on the central longitudinal axis X at a distance X1 from each other.

Starting from the central longitudinal axis X of the main body 2, two further receiving openings 3c are arranged in the direction of the quarter V1, which also have a round configuration and at a distance Y1 in the representation of FIG. 1 are spaced parallel to the left to the round receiving openings 3b. The round receiving openings 3b, 3c are arranged in their orientation to each other in the square.

Two further receiving openings 3d are likewise arranged in the quarter V1 of the upper half A of the main body 2. The receiving openings 3d are also parallel to the central longitudinal axis X of the base body 2 in the representation of FIG. 1 are arranged to the left to the receiving openings 3c at a distance Y2 and also have a round configuration.

Three of the receiving openings 3b, 3c are arranged in the intersections of a triangle, wherein between two sides of the triangle an angle A of 90 ° is included.

The quarter V1 of the upper transverse half Q1 of the main body 2, which is opposite to the quarter V1, likewise has a receiving opening 3e which, like receiving opening 3a, has a square configuration. The square receiving opening 3e is arranged on a running between the round receiving openings 3b to d and aligned parallel to the central transverse axis Y imaginary line.

The lower transverse half Q2 of the main body 2 likewise has two receiving openings arranged on the central longitudinal axis X. Thus, a further round receiving opening 3f is arranged below the center Z, which has crossed slots 4. The receiving opening 3f has a recessed behind the front of the foot plate 1 and not shown groove, wherein the crossed slots 4 extend from the front of the base plate 1 to the groove. Another arranged on the central longitudinal axis X of the main body 2 Receiving opening 3g has a square configuration and is spaced from the receiving opening 3f with its crossed slots 4.

A last receiving opening 3h is arranged in the center Z of the main body 2 and has a square configuration. Between the two last-mentioned receiving openings 3f, 3g, a rectangular recess 5 is arranged, which lies on the central longitudinal axis X and extends in the direction of the central transverse axis Y.

Furthermore, the quarter V2 in the upper transverse half Q1 of the main body 2 with reference to the representation of FIG. 1 right of the square receiving opening 3e on a rectangular marking surface 6, which extends in the direction of the central longitudinal axis X.

On the right and left of the arranged in the center Z receiving opening 3h are on the central transverse axis Y edge of the main body 2 openings 7 arranged, which have a rectangular configuration and extending in the direction of the central longitudinal axis X. Through the openings 7 are each edge of the base body 2 in the region of the central transverse axis Y handles 8 are formed, which serve a convenient transport of the base plate 1.

FIG. 2 shows a bottom view of the already in FIG. 1 The bottom view shows that the respective receiving openings 3a to g are formed as passage openings. In addition, it can be seen that the base body 2 has on its underside round recesses 9 for weight reduction. A total of six of the round recesses 9 are arranged in the lower transverse half Q2 of the basic body 2 and in each case divide into three recesses 9 in the quarters V3, V4. The upper transverse half Q1 of the main body 2 has a total of five round recesses 9 for weight reduction. With reference to the representation of FIG. 2 In this case, four round recesses 9 are arranged in the now left uppermost quarter V2, while a single circular recess 9 is arranged in the upper right-hand quarter V1. The round recesses 9 are generally arranged so that they do not intersect with any of the receiving openings 3a to g. Also in the lower half of Q2 of the Base 2 are the six round recesses 9 around the in FIG. 1 shown and in FIG. 2 only indicated recess 5 around grouped.

FIG. 3 shows a traffic safety arrangement 10 according to the invention in a plan view. Here are individual traffic safety devices in the already in FIG. 1 arranged foot plate 1 arranged. With reference to the representation of FIG. 3 these divide into a total of four parallel to the central transverse axis Y arranged transverse elements 11a and two parallel to the central longitudinal axis X arranged longitudinal elements 11 b. On the basis of this presentation, one of the possibilities for use will be shown.

Both the transverse elements 11a and the longitudinal elements 11b have an angle B of 180 ° enclosed between them in their direction in each case in the same direction. Accordingly, a cross member 11a and a longitudinal member 11b between them each enclose an angle C of 90 °. All elements 11 a, 11 b are arranged on their feet not shown in detail as plug-in elements in the round receiving openings 3b to d. In this case, the two longitudinal elements 11 b are inserted into the central receiving openings 3 c, while the transverse elements 11 a extending at an angle C are arranged in the receiving openings 3 b to d located parallel to the receiving openings 3 c.

The foot plate 1 extends in this arrangement in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal elements 11 b. The further receiving openings 3a, 3e to h are also available for a further use, not shown here by inserting other traffic safety devices.

FIG. 4 shows the in FIG. 3 illustrated traffic safety device 10 in a variant. Here, two longitudinal elements 11 b are arranged in alignment with each other in the base plate 1 according to the invention. The two longitudinal elements 11 b are each inserted with one of their foot pieces not shown in the round receiving openings 3 b on the central longitudinal axis of the base body 2. The edge-side distances of the two longitudinal halves L1, L2 of the base body 2 lie within a maximum allowable distance from the longitudinal elements 11 b, so that this arrangement separates, for example, a motor vehicle traffic from a pedestrian traffic without further security measures.

FIG. 5 represents the already in FIG. 4 illustrated traffic safety arrangement 10 in a further variant. Based on the representation of FIG. 5 the two longitudinal elements 11b are arranged offset by one line to the left, so that the foot pieces not shown in detail are inserted into the receiving openings 3c arranged within the quarter V1 of the main body 2. Here, too, the two edge sides of the longitudinal halves L1, L2 are only so far from the two longitudinal elements 11 b spaced that, for example, located next to the left longitudinal half L1 motor vehicle or pedestrian traffic is located on the right of the longitudinal half L2 of the base body 2 construction site.

FIG. 6 represents another variant of the in the FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrated traffic safety arrangement 10. Compared to the FIG. 5 are the two longitudinal elements 11 b again with reference to the illustration of FIG. 6 offset by one line to the left, so that their foot pieces not shown in detail are inserted into the peripheral receiving openings 3d. As a result, the edge of the right longitudinal half L2 of the base body 2 is so far from the two longitudinal elements 11 b spaced that an additional safety measure in the form of a beacon 12 is applied. The beacon 12 is inserted in the receiving opening 3e arranged in the upper right quarter V2 of the main body 2. This arrangement can, for example, separate a motor vehicle traffic from a pedestrian traffic, the motor vehicle traffic running on the side of the foot plate 1 with the inserted beacon 12.

FIG. 7 shows another variant of the in the FIGS. 3 to 6 illustrated traffic safety arrangement 10. Here, the base plate 1 is equipped with cross members 11a. The cross members 11a are arranged in alignment with each other in the near the central transverse axis Y located round receiving openings 3b, 3c. This arrangement may, for example, separate motor vehicle traffic from a construction site. The clearly further projecting part of the foot plate 1 in this case points in the direction of the construction site, wherein the projecting area of the foot plate 1 located within the regulations faces the motor vehicle traffic.

FIG. 8 shows a variant of FIG. 7 which meets the same requirements and is suitable for the separation of a motor vehicle traffic from a construction site.

FIG. 9 shows a further variant of the traffic safety arrangement 10. Here are two mutually parallel transverse elements 11 a continuously arranged in the plate. In the direction of the central transverse axis Y of the base plate 1, the transverse elements 11 a are aligned. This arrangement is suitable for example for the separation of a motor vehicle traffic from a pedestrian traffic. Depending on the requirement, this measure requires the combination of a construction fence and a fall protection. With reference to the FIG. 9 the construction fence is located near the upper edge of the transverse half Q1, while the continuous fall arresters run parallel thereto. The individual transverse elements 11a are in this case likewise inserted via their foot pieces not shown in the receiving openings 3b, 3c. Due to the wide projection of the lower transverse half Q2 of the base plate 1 in this case also a beacon 12 is arranged, which faces the motor vehicle traffic. The beacon 12 is disposed in the lower transverse half Q2 in the receiving opening 3g.

FIG. 10 shows a further variant of the traffic safety arrangement 10 of FIG. 9 which is represented by likewise mutually parallel elements. Analogous to FIGS. 4 to 6 Here are also longitudinal elements 11 b arranged. The longitudinal elements 11 b are arranged on their foot pieces not shown in the fully arranged within the quarter V1 receiving openings 3 c, 3d. The use of such an arrangement can serve for example for the separation of a motor vehicle traffic from a pedestrian traffic. The pedestrian traffic is on the left longitudinal half L1 of the body 2, while the motor vehicle traffic on the opposite side. Since the supernatant of the base plate 1 is above the permissible 250 mm, another securing element in the form of a beacon 12 is inserted in the receiving opening 3e arranged in the upper quarter V2 of the main body 2.

The in the Figures 9 and 10 illustrated traffic safety arrangement 10 is characterized by the parallel arrangement of different combinations of traffic safety devices. Such a combination is for example also necessary if a construction site with excavation is to be secured against traffic, provided that the excavation depth is over 180 cm.

FIG. 11 shows a variant of the in FIG. 1 a foot plate 1 a shown here, in addition to the usually circular or square receiving openings two receiving openings 3i each in the form of a slot. Analogous to the six receiving openings 3b to d arranged within the quarter V1 as well as on the central longitudinal axis X, middle receiving opening 3i located closer to the central transverse axis Y is designed as a slot. The receiving opening 3i extends parallel to the central longitudinal axis X of the main body 2. An additional receiving opening 3i is located within the upper right quarter V2 in extension of the top row arrangement of the receiving openings 3b to d at a distance X1 to the other receiving opening 3i in slot shape. The square receiving opening 3e is hereby shifted and also joins the extension of the receiving openings 3b to d, but in the lower row. The other two square receiving openings 3a and 3h have compared to the representation of FIG. 1 exchanged their situation.

In particular, in an arrangement of two parallel consecutively inserted traffic safety arrangements within the receiving openings whose respective length tolerances are compensated through the slot. Also, different length expansions with temperature fluctuations are recorded so that there is no misalignment of the base plate. In particular, the use of different materials for the einzusteckenden elements for temperature variations by the unterschieldichen expansion coefficient to different elongations or shrinkages. These are absorbed and balanced by the slots without tension.

In practice footplate 1 according to the invention serves to receive a plurality of traffic safety devices. Due to the number and the different configuration, various elements and combinations thereof can be set up via the receiving openings 3a to h arranged in the main body 2. In particular, the arrangement of the six round receiving openings 3b to d offers continuous elements, such as construction fences or fall protection different orientation options.

Thus, in the round receiving openings 3b to d aligned elements can be combined without offset. In this case, the angle B, C enclosed between the transverse and longitudinal elements 11a, 11b may also vary. In addition to the reception of transverse and longitudinal elements 11a, 11b, the footplate 1 is configured to receive further traffic safety devices, wherein, for example, a traffic sign or a traffic light system is arranged in the receiving opening 3h arranged in the center Z of the main body 2. A possible energy requirement can be covered by a arranged in the recess 5 battery. The configuration of the receiving opening 3f in the form of a bayonet closure also allows the use of lockable elements.

By arranged as far as possible in the quarter V1 of the main body 2 round receiving openings 3b to d, the base plate 1 can be aligned in each case to the plugged traffic safety devices that it causes the least possible obstruction of traffic. As a result, in particular stumbling edges are avoided.

The extremely flexible use of the foot plate 1 according to the invention enables its economic use. In addition to a lower required quantity of foot plates 1 to be laid, this also reduces the time required for assembly and disassembly. The necessary transport is also limited to a small number of foot plates 1, whereby the economy is further enhanced. The arranged in the body 2 handles 8 also facilitate handling.
