Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

La présente invention concerne le domaine des panneaux de signalisation permanente ou provisoire, par exemple de signalisation routière. L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un collier de fixation d'un panneau sur un poteau selon les caractéristiques de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to the field of permanent or temporary signs, for example road signs. The invention more particularly relates to a collar for fixing a panel to a pole according to the features of claim 1.

Technique antérieurePrior art

Dans le domaine de la signalisation routière temporaire, on connaît bien des panneaux de signalisation constitués d'une plaque métallique de forme quelconque, triangulaire ou ronde par exemple, procurant un subjectile recevant sur la face frontale un décor tel qu'un symbole ou un pictogramme montrant une signalisation routière, par exemple. Le bord du subjectile est replié vers le dos du panneau afin de le rigidifier et d'éviter toute blessure en cas de choc avec un piéton, un deux-roues ou autre. Ce type de panneau de signalisation comprend, par ailleurs, au moins un dispositif de fixation permettant d'associer ledit panneau à un montant vertical constitué de manière classique d'un poteau avantageusement tubulaire planté dans le sol ou solidaire d'une embase en appui sur le sol. Le dispositif de fixation comprend un rail de fixation solidarisé à demeure sur le dos du panneau dont la section transversale est en forme globale de C, une bride ou collier s'étendant autour dudit montant et des éléments de boulonnerie, tels que des boulons, permettant de serrer ladite bride sur le rail de fixation pour fixer ledit panneau sur le montant. De tels panneaux de signalisation sont par exemple divulgués dans le document FR2600349 . Toutefois, ce type de dispositif de fixation présente plusieurs inconvénients. Tout d'abord, il est couteux car il comporte un nombre important de pièces. Par ailleurs, ce type de dispositif de fixation est mal pratique à utiliser et, de manière générale, long à mettre en place. Enfin, il nécessite l'utilisation sur le site d'installation d'outillages tels que des tournevis et des clés.In the field of temporary road signs, there are well known signs consisting of a metal plate of any shape, triangular or round, for example, providing a substrate receiving on the front face a decoration such as a symbol or a pictogram showing road signs, for example. The edge of the substrate is folded towards the back of the panel to stiffen and prevent injury in case of impact with a pedestrian, a two-wheel or other. This type of road sign also comprises at least one fastening device enabling the said panel to be associated with a vertical upright constituted in a conventional manner by an advantageously tubular post stuck in the ground or secured to a base resting on floor. The fastening device comprises a fastening rail secured permanently to the back of the panel whose cross section is generally C-shaped, a flange or collar extending around said post and bolts, such as bolts, allowing clamping said flange on the mounting rail to secure said panel to the post. Such signs are for example disclosed in the document FR2600349 . However, this type of fixing device has several disadvantages. First, it is expensive because it has a large number of parts. Moreover, this type of fixing device is impractical to use and, generally, long to put in place. Finally, it requires the use on the installation site of tools such as screwdrivers and keys.

Exposé de l'inventionPresentation of the invention

Le but de la présente invention est donc de pallier les inconvénients précédemment cités et de proposer un collier de fixation économique, facile et rapide à mettre en place pour rendre solidaire un panneau et un poteau, sans utilisation d'outillage pour sa mise en place.The object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide an economical fastening collar, easy and quick to implement to make a panel and a post solid, without the use of tools for its implementation.

L'invention concerne un collier de fixation pour associer un panneau muni d'au moins un rail de fixation au moins en partie solidarisé au dos dudit panneau à un poteau de section transversale globalement carrée ou rectangulaire, ledit rail étant en forme globale de C et comportant au moins sur sa face opposée audit dos, une fente longitudinale débouchant d'un coté à l'extérieur et de l'autre dans un logement interne plus large que ladite fente, ledit poteau comporte au moins une face frontale disposée en vis-à-vis du dos du panneau et en appui sur le rail, lorsque les panneau et poteau sont associés, une face arrière et deux faces latérales.The invention relates to a fastening collar for associating a panel provided with at least one fastening rail at least partially secured to the back of said panel to a generally square cross-section or rectangular cross section, said rail being in the overall shape of C and having at least on its face opposite said back, a longitudinal slot opening on one side to the outside and the other in an inner housing wider than said slot, said post has at least one front face disposed vis-à-vis -vis the back of the panel and supported on the rail, when the panel and post are associated, a rear face and two side faces.

the portions being dimensioned to allow insertion of the hooks when the post is supported on the rail.

Le collier de fixation comporte sur au moins l'une de ses ailes au moins un organe de blocage permettant de l'immobiliser par coincement le long du poteau.The fastening collar comprises on at least one of its wings at least one locking member for immobilizing it by jamming along the pole.

L'organe de blocage est avantageusement une lamelle inclinée s'étendant vers l'intérieur du corps du collier de fixation et apte à exercer un effort sur les faces latérales du poteau.The locking member is advantageously an inclined slat extending towards the inside of the body of the fastening collar and able to exert a force on the lateral faces of the post.

De manière avantageuse, chacune des ailes comporte une pluralité de lamelles sensiblement parallèles entre elles.Advantageously, each of the wings comprises a plurality of slats substantially parallel to each other.

Au moins l'une desdites ailes comprend de préférence une languette issue d'une partie de son bord longitudinal et s'étendant dans le prolongement de ladite aile, ladite languette recevant ledit cran.At least one of said wings preferably comprises a tongue resulting from a portion of its longitudinal edge and extending in the extension of said wing, said tongue receiving said notch.

Le corps comporte avantageusement un pan incliné sur au moins une partie du bord longitudinal de l'aile situé entre la languette et le crochet.The body advantageously comprises an inclined portion on at least a portion of the longitudinal edge of the wing located between the tongue and the hook.

En outre, le corps comporte de préférence une fente sur l'aile disposée au droit du bord de la languette.In addition, the body preferably comprises a slot on the wing disposed at the edge of the tongue.

L'âme dudit corps comporte en outre un bossage s'étendant vers l'extérieur du corps et déterminant une zone d'appui renforcée.The core of said body further comprises a boss extending outwardly of the body and determining a reinforced support zone.

Each flange 23 extends substantially perpendicularly from the flange 18 a or 18 b associated outwardly from said clamp 1.

Chaque rebord 23 comporte une portion 24 s'étendant au-delà de la portion 20a ou 20b de ladite aile 18a ou 18b, selon la direction longitudinale de cette dernière, de sorte à former un crochet 25 apte à s'insérer dans la fente 14 longitudinale du rail 6 de fixation puis à coopérer avec l'une des rainures 15 pour solidariser ledit collier de fixation 1 avec ledit rail 6.Each flange 23 has a portion 24 extending beyond the portion 20 a or 20 b of said flange 18 a or 18 b, the longitudinal direction of the latter, so to form a hook 25 capable of being inserted in the longitudinal slot 14 of the fixing rail 6 and then to cooperate with one of the grooves 15 to secure said clamp 1 with said rail 6.

Le corps 17 du collier de fixation 1 comporte en outre des goussets 26 pour renforcer la liaison entre ledit rebord 23 et l'aile 18a ou 18b associée et maintenir leur écartement.The body 17 of the clamp 1 further comprises gussets 26 strengthen the connection between said flange 23 and the flange 18 a or 18 b associated and maintain their spacing.

Le corps 17 du collier de fixation 1 comporte sur au moins l'une de ses ailes 18a, 18b au moins un organe de blocage 27 permettant d'immobiliser par coincement le collier de fixation 1 le long du poteau 3 sur lequel il est mis en place. Cet organe de blocage 27 est de préférence une lamelle inclinée s'étendant en direction de la portion 20 de l'une des ailes 18a, 18b dudit corps 17 vers l'intérieur dudit collier de fixation 1.The body 17 of the clamp 1 comprises on at least one of its flanges 18 a, 18 b at least one locking member 27 for immobilising by clamping the fastening collar 1 along the post 3 on which it is put in place. This blocking member 27 is preferably an inclined slide extending towards the portion 20 of one of the wings 18 a, 18 b of the body 17 towards the inside of said clamp 1.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, chacune des ailes 18a, 18b comporte une pluralité de lamelles 27 sensiblement parallèles entre elles.According to a preferred embodiment, each of the wings 18 a, 18 b comprises a plurality of lamellae 27 substantially parallel to each other.

L'âme 19 comporte un bossage 28 s'étendant vers l'extérieur du corps 17 et déterminant une zone d'appui renforcée pour mettre en place le collier de fixation 1 autour du poteau 3, comme il va être décrit ci-après.The core 19 comprises a boss 28 extending outwardly of the body 17 and determining a reinforced support zone to set up the clamp 1 around the pole 3, as will be described below.

Enfin, en référence à la figure 9, le corps 17 comporte un pan incliné 29 sur au moins une partie du bord longitudinal de l'aile 18a situé entre la languette 22 et le crochet 25. Ce pan incliné 29 permet un rattrapage de jeu lors de la mise en place du collier de fixation 1 sur le poteau 3 en exerçant un effort tendant à appliquer le poteau 3 sur le rail 6 de fixation et donc sur le panneau 2.Finally, with reference to figure 9 , the body 17 has an inclined portion 29 on at least a portion of the edge longitudinal wing 18 is located between the tab 22 and the hook 25. The inclined surface 29 makes backlash in the establishment of the clamp 1 on the post 3 by exerting a force tending to apply the post 3 on the fixing rail 6 and thus on the panel 2.

A présent, en référence aux figures 1, 2, 6 à 9, on va décrire la manière dont le collier de fixation 1 est mis en place pour associer le panneau 2 sur le poteau 3 (ces derniers n'étant pas représentés sur les figures 6 à 9 pour des raisons de clarté).Now, with reference to Figures 1, 2 , 6 to 9 , the manner in which the fastening collar 1 is put in place to associate the panel 2 with the post 3 (the latter not being represented on the Figures 6 to 9 for the sake of clarity).

Tout d'abord, le panneau 2 avec le rail 6 de fixation est placé en appui contre le poteau 3, de sorte que la face du rail 6 opposée à son âme 11 soit en contact avec la face frontale 8 du poteau 3.Firstly, the panel 2 with the fixing rail 6 is placed in abutment against the post 3, so that the face of the rail 6 opposite its core 11 is in contact with the front face 8 of the post 3.

Ensuite, en référence à la figure 6, le collier est orienté pour permettre l'insertion de ses crochets 25 dans la fente 14 longitudinale du rail 6 de fixation.Then, with reference to the figure 6 , the collar is oriented to allow the insertion of its hooks 25 in the longitudinal slot 14 of the rail 6 of attachment.

Les portions (20a, 20b) respectives des ailes 18a, 18b sont dimensionnées pour permettre l'insertion des crochets (25) lorsque le poteau (3) est en appui sur le rail (6).The portions (20 a, 20 b) of the respective wings 18a, 18b are dimensioned to permit insertion of the hooks (25) when the post (3) rests on the rail (6).

Une fois les crochets 25 insérés dans ledit rail 6, le collier de fixation 1 est pivoté pour rabattre l'âme 19 de son corps 17 sur la face arrière 9 du poteau 3 (Cf. figures 1, 7 et 8).Once the hooks 25 inserted in said rail 6, the fixing collar 1 is pivoted to fold the web 19 of its body 17 on the rear face 9 of the post 3 (Cf. figures 1 , 7 and 8 ).

Enfin, le collier de fixation 1 est pivoté jusqu'à ce que le cran 22 coopère avec la face frontale 8 du poteau 3 pour immobiliser ledit collier de fixation 1 sur le poteau en interdisant son pivotement dans le sens inverse.Finally, the fixing collar 1 is pivoted until the notch 22 cooperates with the end face 8 of the pole 3 to immobilize said clamp 1 on the pole by preventing its pivoting in the opposite direction.

Dans cette position immobilisée, les lamelles 27 exercent une pression sur les faces latérales 10 du poteau 3 pour renforcer le blocage du collier de fixation 1, et donc du panneau 2, sur le poteau 3 en interdisant notamment le coulissement de l'ensemble collier de fixation 1 - panneau 2 le long du poteau 3.In this immobilized position, the slats 27 exert a pressure on the lateral faces 10 of the post 3 to reinforce the locking of the fastening collar 1, and therefore of the panel 2, on the post 3 in prohibiting in particular the sliding of the fastening assembly 1 - panel 2 along the pole 3.

Pour libérer le panneau 2 du poteau 3, il suffit de désengager le cran 22 du poteau 3, de faire pivoter le collier de fixation 1 dans le sens inverse à celui représenté sur la figure 7, et de désengager les crochets 25 du collier de fixation 1 du rail 6 pour retirer définitivement ledit collier de fixation 1.To release the panel 2 of the post 3, it is sufficient to disengage the notch 22 of the post 3, to rotate the fastening collar 1 in the opposite direction to that shown in FIG. figure 7 , and to disengage the hooks 25 from the fastening collar 1 of the rail 6 to permanently remove said fastening collar 1.

Pour désengager le cran 22, il suffit d'exercer un effort sur la languette 21 afin de la faire fléchir vers l'extérieur du corps 17 du collier de fixation 1.To disengage the notch 22, it suffices to exert a force on the tongue 21 so as to bend it outwardly of the body 17 of the fastening collar 1.

Pour faciliter cette dernière manipulation et rendre la languette 21 plus flexible, le corps 17 comporte une fente 30 sur l'aile 18a disposée au droit du bord de languette 21.To facilitate manipulation thereof and make the tongue 21 more flexible, the body 17 has a slot 30 on the wing 18 is disposed to the right of tab edge 21.

Le collier de fixation 1 est issu de matière et est réalisé de préférence, pour des raisons de résistance mécanique et de tenue dans le temps, à partir de métal, notamment à partir d'un alliage léger.The fixing collar 1 is made of material and is preferably made, for reasons of mechanical strength and withstand time, from metal, in particular from a light alloy.

L'homme du Métier n'aura aucune difficulté pour dimensionner ledit collier de fixation 1 selon l'invention pour permettre une mise en place aisée et pérenne.The skilled person will have no difficulty in sizing said clamp 1 according to the invention to allow easy and durable installation.

On comprend bien que ce collier de fixation 1 permet d'associer un panneau 2 sur un poteau 3 de façon simple et rapide sans utiliser d'outillages spécifiques.It is understood that this fastening collar 1 allows to associate a panel 2 on a post 3 quickly and easily without using specific tools.

Possibilités d'application industriellePossibilities of industrial application
