Description

Protector for barrier posts Scammer

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a protector of impacts for quitamiedos barriers, whose purpose is to reduce the damage suffered by people or vehicles in its possible impact against these barriers removed.

Background of the invention

By way of protection for people, vehicles or objects, there are some on the banks of the roads  barriers, called quitamiedos barriers, which prevent the people, vehicles or objects get off the road.

These barriers are anchored to the ground through of a series of posts rigidly attached to the ground. These posts they have a section in "T", double "T" or "U", for example. Given the fact that impacts occur mostly with an advance movement in the sense of road and other separation or distance from medium, is very both vehicles and people are likely to impact the barriers in a diagonal sense.

The fact of the crash in a diagonal direction causes live edges to produce severe damage to the injured person, vehicle or object.

Faced with these types of situations have been designed different protectors of the barrier posts removed. One of They are the one collected in the utility model ES1048961U. This utility model contemplates the existence of an element of protection made of an elastomer with two joined elements in solidarity and an external form of kidney. This item has as inconvenient the fact of having to join two elements to constitute the protective element, as well as the deformation that You may suffer may not be enough.

Description of the invention

The invention relates to a protector for a post of a barrier remover.

According to the invention, said protector it comprises a protective element made of an elastomer, whose cross section comprises a hole located in the area central of said protective element, and a plurality of holes of damping.

This configuration allows to accommodate in the hole  located in the central area the barrier post. Further, the plurality of damping holes allow the protector cushion greater blows falls a solid shock absorber.

The damping holes may be of any way, being distributed homogeneously throughout the section cross guard. As an example holes are proposed in the form of a circle or ellipse.

Regarding the hole located in the central area,  this must have a shape that allows its adjustment in the post of the barrier. Therefore, it may be in the form of "T", double "T" or "U". With the purpose that a single model can fit any post, a section hole is proposed rectangular.

The height of the protector will be such that it allows completely cover the barrier rod guard. This is placed by the top of the post until it fits along the length of the entire post.

The elastomer used may be, for example, of rubber, more specifically a recycling product of tires

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, it is flared as an integral part of said description, a set of drawings where with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a view of a section of the protector object of the invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view of the protector object of the invention in the barrier post Scammer

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

Next, with reference to the figures,  describes a preferred embodiment of the protector (1) for posts (2) of barriers removed (3) that is the object of this invention.

Figure 1. shows a preferred embodiment of the protector (1). This section shows the section transverse of the protector (1). In this section you can see a central hole (4) with a rectangular shape. Said hole Central (4) is designed so that the protector (1) It can fit in any post (2) of barrier barriers (3). In other embodiments the central hole (4) may be in the form of "T", double "T" or "U" depending on the profile shape of the post (2).

This figure also shows a plurality of damping holes (5). These holes of damping (5) in this embodiment are of circular section, Circles distributed evenly throughout the element. He diameter of the circles varies depending on the available space in each of the circle locations, always leaving a space  minimum between the surface of the protector (1) and the hole of damping (5). Other possible shapes for the holes of damping (5), not shown in the drawings, could be elliptical shapes

Figure 2 shows the protective element (1) located on the pole (2) of a barrier remover (3). How I know note, the protector (1) covers virtually all of the height of said post (2). Your placement will therefore be earlier to the anchoring of the barrier guard (3) to the post (2).

In this embodiment, the protector (1) is made of rubber, preferably obtained through Tire recycling

In view of this description and game of figures, the person skilled in the art will understand that the invention has been described according to a preferred embodiment thereof, but that multiple variations can be introduced in said preferred embodiment, without leaving the object of the invention as and as claimed.

Claims (6)
