Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fastening system for fastening to a signaling device, such as a signaling beacon (for example of the traffic cone or cylindrical signaling beacon type) or such as a signaling barrier.
  • a signaling device such as a signaling beacon (for example of the traffic cone or cylindrical signaling beacon type) or such as a signaling barrier.
  • the invention lies in the field of signaling devices, and in particular signaling barriers as well as signaling beacons standardized in the European standard EN 13422 (signalling cones and cylindrical beacons). Generally, these barriers and beacons are orange or white with reflective strips.
  • Such signaling barriers are used to close and visually delimit an access, in particular an access to a lane or to an access ramp, and they are thus movable between a closed position and an open position, generally by pivoting while being raised and lowered .
  • These signaling barriers are generally of cylindrical or polygonal section.
  • Such signaling beacons serve as beacons in order to visually delimit areas temporarily prohibited from access, and for example on roads and highways, in construction sites and also in industrial sites to mark out, signal or close access to dangerous areas. , as well as for example crime and investigation sites.
  • Tags can be used alone or in combination.
  • Signaling beacons can also be used to protect workers on circulating routes (for example roads or highways) by putting them in the form of a cone barrier perpendicular to the route, bevelled or longitudinal with respect to the route.
  • beacons are also commonly used to identify a specific hazard, usually temporary. This can be, for example, a hole in the ground that is difficult to see.
  • These signaling beacons generally comprise a hollow body of frustoconical or cylindrical shape terminated by a support base on the ground, and they are often aligned on the ground, at more or less regular intervals and over a greater or lesser length.
  • the attachment member is in the form of an annular body, generally frustoconical, which is made of a rigid material and which is fitted and slid around the signaling beacon, being based on a holding by gravity for that the attachment member is in place and remains there.
  • such attachment members represent a danger for users, in particular during an impact between a vehicle and the signaling beacon on which an attachment member is mounted. Indeed, during such an impact, this attachment member is likely to separate from the signaling beacon when the latter tilts following contact with the vehicle. The resulting risk is to see the attachment member being thrown into the air and thus to behave like a rigid high-velocity projectile, or to see the attachment member rolling on the ground and thus forming a rigid member over which a vehicle is likely to drive.
  • the attachment member is in the form of a frustoconical piece, provided with two rings which can be made of a flexible material such as rubber.
  • the attachment member due to its tapered configuration, is particularly difficult to place around the signaling beacon, because the latter offers a large conical internal surface which comes into contact with the signaling beacon and which therefore hinders its insertion.
  • the maintenance of the attachment member is done essentially by gravity, under the effect of its own weight and especially of the weight of the additional elements that it carries, so that this member of The clip has the same drawbacks as the rigid members described above, namely a risk of detachment, even of projection, when the beacon is reversed.
  • the invention proposes to solve this problem, by employing a fastening system adapted to remain in place on a signaling barrier (which is raised and lowered) and also on a signaling beacon, even in the event of a fall or projection. of the signaling beacon or in the event of impact by a vehicle (or a pedestrian or an animal) on the signaling beacon, or in environments with reduced or zero gravity (such as for example in the context of space missions).
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a fastening system suitable for being attached to different types and/or different sizes of signaling device, and in particular to signaling barriers of cylindrical section, traffic cones and to cylindrical signaling beacons.
  • the benefit is then to be able to use a single and same fastening system for several types and/or sizes of signaling devices.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a fastening system suitable for attaching one or more additional elements to a signaling device, with a preferred, and non-limiting, application for attaching one or more electronic boxes to a signaling device. , in order to provide one or more electronic functions such as detection of an event, radio communication, emission of a sound or light signal, etc.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a fastening system of reduced manufacturing cost, and also easy and quick to use for operators who will have to install fastening systems on numerous signaling devices.
  • the forces of order, (motor) road agents or the emergency services may have to very quickly implement a barrier of cones following an accident.
  • the stress caused by road accidents requires the implementation of solutions that are extremely simple to implement.
  • Another object of the invention is to position the attachment device in a position chosen by the user so as not to interfere with the reflective strips necessary for the good safety of the cone, in particular when it is used on roads or motorways.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a fastening system which can be stored quickly and with a minimum of space, whether for example in an intervention van or in a bag carried by the intervention agents.
  • the invention proposes to solve this problem by using an elastic attachment support which can therefore be folded easily in a constrained space, and which can recover its shape during use.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a fastening system that is as light as possible in order to allow its widest possible use, in particular in emergency interventions. For example, it may be emergency marking following an accident on the road by firefighters or the police.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a fastening system which is not breakable, in particular in the event of exposure to very cold temperatures. Indeed, it is known that certain signaling beacons break during shocks when the temperatures are cold. Indeed, one of the weak points of rigid fasteners is the modification of their mechanical properties at low or high temperatures, thus causing breakage during a fall or impact, leading to a replacement or possibly representing a danger.
  • the invention proposes to use a fastening member which is flexible and stretchable, and which can therefore hug and elastically enclose the signaling device, thus providing a stable and durable fixing, even in the event of displacement of the signaling device. , such as for example in the event of a fall or projection of the signaling beacon, or in the event of impact by a vehicle on the beacon or the signaling barrier, or during the multiple opening and closing movements of the signaling barrier .
  • the fin(s) will therefore be used for positioning around the signaling device, allowing it to be pulled so that the annular base comes to rest against the signaling device. signage.
  • the annular base is thus flat, which allows easy insertion with little or no friction and thus, at the start of assembly, it suffices to stretch the annular base by means of of the fin(s) and push down the annular base, which remains flat, until the desired position has been reached.
  • the operator then only needs to release the wing(s) (by pulling slightly towards the bottom or the side if necessary) so that the lower annular face of the annular base is pressed against a peripheral zone of the signaling device.
  • the annular base is in a deformed, non-planar state, to match the peripheral zone of the signaling device, with its lower annular face fully pressed against the peripheral zone and with its upper annular face facing towards the outside.
  • the invention thus uses a rocker mechanism, between the configuration at rest and the deformed configuration, making it possible to limit the friction forces between the attachment member and the signaling device when installing or removing the system of attached, but folding back against the signaling device when the system attachment is positioned at the location desired by the user; such a solution allowing the user easy insertion of the attachment system on the signaling device.
  • the fin(s) will allow the fixing system to be stretched during installation but also facilitate its removal.
  • the fin(s) advantageously make it possible to use the attachment system with gloves through a contact surface that can be easily grasped by the user. Similarly, in the event of rain or snow or grease splashes, it will be easy for the user to come and remove the device since he will have to stretch and not preempt.
  • the fin(s) are folded laterally relative to the annular upper face of the annular base.
  • the fin(s) are folded laterally relative to the annular upper face of the annular base, once the attachment system is in place on the signaling device, then the fin(s) protrude from the peripheral zone of the signaling device without coming into contact with it.
  • the outer peripheral edge of the annular base is extended by a peripheral rim laterally folded relative to the annular upper face of the annular base, and the fin or fins come in the extension of said peripheral rim so that the or the fins are laterally folded relative to the annular upper face of the annular base.
  • the fin(s) are folded laterally relative to the annular upper face of the annular base by an angle of between 70 and 110 degrees, which will allow the fin(s) to extend horizontally , plus or minus 20 degrees, once the attachment system is in place on the signaling device.
  • the central orifice of the annular base is circular, so that the inner peripheral edge is cylindrical.
  • the central orifice of the annular base can have other shapes, such as for example a polygonal shape (square, hexagonal, etc.), an ovoid shape, an oblong shape, or an irregular shape.
  • the outer peripheral edge is cylindrical. Nevertheless, this outer peripheral edge may have other shapes, such as for example a polygonal shape (square, hexagonal, etc.), an ovoid shape, an oblong shape, or an irregular shape.
  • the attachment system comprises at least two fins, and for example at least two fins which are diametrically opposed.
  • the use of at least two fins makes it possible to place/remove the attachment system with both hands for greater ease and speed.
  • the attachment system comprises four fins with two diametrically opposed fins and two other diametrically opposed fins.
  • the elastic material is an elastomer of the silicone material type.
  • the elastomer can also be a natural elastomer, such as a rubber, for example, or a synthetic elastomer, such as an elastomeric polymer such as silicone material.
  • the silicone material is advantageous because it has a fairly high coefficient of friction for effective hold, as well as very good resistance to cold temperatures and conservation over time of the elastic, friction and adhesion properties.
  • the elastic material has an elongation rate of between 300 and 900%.

  • a variant will be the use of an elastic material reacting to UV light. Therefore, it may be advantageous to allow visibility only to certain users (those equipped with a UV lamp) and not to others. The upper position is then advantageous to allow you to be well seen.
  • the grip offered by the use of a elastic material makes it possible to be able to transport the cone thus increased from a place A to a place B without having to remove the attachment system.
  • Another variant may be the use of a flexible display or screen (for example of the OLED, AMOLED type or other flexible screen technologies) integrated into all or part of the elastomer attachment surface making it possible, for example, to display a specific message, to display a color to warn of a state (red, green, orange, etc.) or to flash in white or another color to alert.
