Description

Dispositivo para cubrir vallas bionda de guardarrailes.Device for covering bionda fences guardrails

Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo para cubrir vallas bionda de guardarrailes.The present invention relates to a device to cover bionda fences of guardrails.

Background of the invention

En los laterales de vías de circulación es habitual que se dispongan guardarrailes constituidos por unos postes sobre los que se dispone una valla bionda sensiblemente horizontal mediante unos soportes adecuados. Esta valla bionda está constituida por al menos uno o más elementos longitudinales de chapa, cuya sección presenta dos ondas convexas y entre ambas una onda cóncava. Estos elementos longitudinales de la valla bionda están diseñados para absorber la energía cinética del vehículo que impacta sobre ellas mediante su deformación y la resistencia de los postes empotrados. Sin embargo, los bordes longitudinales de la valla bionda resultan ciertamente afilados y peligrosos, sobre todo en el caso de impactos de motoristas, los cuales pueden deslizar sobre el suelo hacia la valla bionda. En el caso de que el motorista impacte contra los citados bordes cortantes, existe un riesgo elevado de amputación de miembros e incluso de muerte.On the sides of roads is It is customary to arrange guardrails consisting of some posts on which a bionda fence is arranged noticeably horizontal by means of suitable supports. This bionda fence is consisting of at least one or more longitudinal elements of sheet, whose section has two convex waves and between them a concave wave These longitudinal elements of the bionda fence are designed to absorb the kinetic energy of the vehicle that impacts on them by deformation and resistance of built-in posts However, the longitudinal edges of the Bionda fence are certainly sharp and dangerous, especially in the case of motorcyclist impacts, which can slide on the ground towards the bionda fence. In the event that the motorcyclist impacting said cutting edges, there is a high risk of limb amputation and even death.

Description of the invention

El dispositivo para cubrir vallas bionda de guardarrailes, objeto de esta invención, presenta unas particularidades técnicas destinadas a mejorar la seguridad de dichas vallas bionda en caso de impactos directos minimizando los posibles riesgos de sus bordes cortantes.The device to cover bionda fences of Guardrails, object of this invention, presents some technical peculiarities aimed at improving the safety of these bionda fences in case of direct impacts minimizing the Possible risks of its sharp edges.

En efecto, el dispositivo está constituido por, al menos, un elemento laminar de material plástico flexible, acanalado longitudinalmente y que presenta dos bordes longitudinales divergentes, en los que se definen sendas pestañas en "C" orientados hacia dentro, para su acoplamiento a presión sobre la valla
blonda.In fact, the device is constituted by at least one sheet of flexible plastic material, longitudinally grooved and having two divergent longitudinal edges, in which inwardly oriented "C" flanges are defined, for pressure coupling over the fence
lace.

Este dispositivo es operativamente apto para ocultar los bordes cortantes, superior e inferior, de dicha la bionda, con lo que se evita que dichos bordes puedan producir daños graves por corte a las personas accidentadas, tales como las habituales amputaciones de miembros. Además, al estar la parte anterior de la valla bionda cubierta con el dispositivo se evita, en caso de impacto de un vehículo contra dicha valla bionda, que puedan saltar chispas por el contacto de piezas metálicas, y que se pueda producir un incendio, con lo que se consigue un considerable incremento en la seguridad vial. El elemento laminar puede ser de grueso variable, según la resistencia que se considere necesaria.This device is operationally suitable for hide the cutting edges, upper and lower, of said the bionda, which prevents such edges from causing damage serious by court to injured people, such as habitual limb amputations. Also, being the part front of the bionda fence covered with the device is avoided, in case of impact of a vehicle against said bionda fence, which Sparks can jump from the contact of metal parts, and that can produce a fire, which achieves a considerable Increase in road safety. The laminar element can be of variable thickness, depending on the resistance considered necessary.

El elemento laminar del dispositivo está constituido de forma enteriza en polietileno, más concretamente en polietileno de alta densidad, que resulta amortiguador y seguro ante la fricción y posibilidad de corte.The laminar element of the device is made entirely of polyethylene, more specifically in high density polyethylene, which is cushioning and safe before the friction and possibility of cutting.

También se ha previsto que el elemento laminar presente uno o más orificios en su superficie para el alojamiento de elementos reflectantes y para su fijación mediante tornillos, grapas, remaches o análogo sobre la valla bionda, lo cual evita que dicho dispositivo salga proyectado durante un impacto por su descuadre sobre dicha valla bionda, o se desprenda por un fallo en las pestañas de sujeción de los bordes laterales.It is also planned that the laminar element present one or more holes in its surface for housing of reflective elements and for fixing by screws, staples, rivets or the like on the bionda fence, which prevents said device is projected during an impact by its careless about said bionda fence, or be detached by a failure in the flanges for securing the side edges.

Description of the figures

Para complementar la descripción que se está realizando y con objeto de facilitar la comprensión de las características de la invención, se acompaña a la presente memoria descriptiva un juego de dibujos en los que, con carácter ilustrativo y no limitativo, se ha representado lo siguiente:To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, for illustrative purposes and not limiting, the following has been represented:

- La figura 1 muestra una sección transversal del dispositivo.- Figure 1 shows a cross section Of the device.

- La figura 2 muestra una sección transversal del dispositivo instalado sobre una valla bionda.- Figure 2 shows a cross section of the device installed on a bionda fence.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

Como se puede observar en las figuras referenciadas, el dispositivo está constituido por un elemento laminar (1) de material plástico flexible, en este caso polietileno de alta densidad, y que presenta una configuración acanalada longitudinalmente, correspondiente con la cara exterior de la valla bionda (2) sobre la que se dispone. El elemento laminar (1) comprende dos bordes longitudinales (11) divergentes, que definen sendas pestañas (12) en "C" orientadas hacia dentro, para el acoplamiento del dispositivo sobre los respectivos bordes cortantes (21) longitudinales de la valla bionda, ocultándolos por completo.As can be seen in the figures referenced, the device consists of an element sheet (1) of flexible plastic material, in this case polyethylene high density, and presenting a ribbed configuration longitudinally, corresponding to the outer face of the fence bionda (2) on which it is available. The laminar element (1) it comprises two divergent longitudinal edges (11), which define paths (12) in "C" facing inwards, for the device coupling on the respective cutting edges (21) Bionda fence lengths, hiding them by full.

En una alternativa de realización, representada en la figura 3, el dispositivo comprende unos orificios (13), en la parte central, para el alojamiento de elementos reflectantes, y unos orificios (14), en los laterales, para la fijación del dispositivo sobre la valla bionda (2) mediante elementos de fijación, tales como tornillos, mejorando así la firmeza de su anclaje.In an alternative embodiment, represented in figure 3, the device comprises holes (13), in the central part, for the accommodation of reflective elements, and holes (14), on the sides, for fixing the device on the bionda fence (2) by means of elements fixing, such as screws, thus improving the firmness of your anchorage.
