Description

Signaling device.

Object of the invention

The present invention is referred to as its stated indicates, to a device for signaling.

Field of the Invention

This device is primarily intended to signal areas bounded by lanes of roads and tracks public that can not be circulated, and may also be used to limit control areas of motorists or that are  dangerous, for example by works, or by the presence of crashed vehicles

Background of the invention

For these purposes there are devices such as the well-known cones that are supported on the ground by their base and, also, those who also have a cone but that is sustained on the ground through three arms that make up the cone itself and with which it forms a theoretical tetrahedron generally called "tetrapod".

Some of these second devices are stackable, such as the one that is the object of Utility Model no. 200502067, in which the cone is constituted by a body vertical hollow and translucent whose support arms are conical and with cross section in the mid-shaft and presenting, in its part bottom open, the installation of light elements type led or bulb with which, during the night or in dark places, the device lights up and makes the corresponding one visible signaling.

These luminous elements are mounted, by convenient means, within a translucent receptacle which, closed with a lid, is the one that fits into the indicated part bottom of the vertical body and also includes the stack or battery for feeding the light elements, resulting a somewhat complex constitution set, consequently expensive and heavy and, due to the weight, easily decoupled from the body  vertical.

Summary of the invention

These inconveniences and / or problems, and others that can be derived from them, they are solved with the device for signalings object of the present invention that, also constituted by a hollow and translucent vertical body whose open bottom forms some lateral support arms and it includes the installation of luminous elements powered by a battery or battery, has the advantage that the means with which said luminous elements are installed in the vertical body are of simple constitution, consequently economic and light, and they do not present any possibility of decoupling said body.

For this, these means comprise a support annul in which the luminous elements are mounted and which presents its outer contour and part of its upper face in correspondence with the open bottom configuration of the vertical body in which said support is coupled removably

This annular support presents, on your face upper that is arranged towards the inside of the vertical body, accommodation at regular distances for the elements luminous and a circular groove that crosses them for the introduction of convenient connection cables between said elements.

Advantageously, the battery or battery for the feeding of the luminous elements is removably fastened in one of the support arms of the cone, so that its size and weight do not affects the annular support on which the indicated ones are mounted elements, which receive the connection of said battery or battery, by the convenient cables, from the bottom of one of the annular support housings.

Also, said support incorporates a module natural light sensitive electronic that is able to disconnect the luminous device when the ambient light no longer allows the light display of the luminous elements, preventing with This causes premature discharge of the battery.

For its part, the vertical body has means  of retention of said support which, together with said support of the battery or battery, prevent one and the other can detach easily from the device both during transport and in your utilization.

Said means for retaining the annular support they consist of teeth that internally presents the mouth of the open lower part of the vertical body, which imprison the annular support in said part after penetrating this support in it by pressing on it against the indicated teeth.

These and other features will come off best of the detailed description that follows, which, for facilitate your understanding, it is accompanied by a sheet of drawings in which has been represented a practical case of realization that cite only by way of example not limiting the scope of the present invention

Detailed description

In accordance with the drawings, the device for illustrated signage consists of a hollow vertical body of translucent plastic material and conical configuration (1) of which open bottom (2) laterally split three arms also conical section in halfcane (4) comprising paths clamps (5) in an intermediate zone.

In the indicated open bottom (2) of the cone (1), between the arms (4), an annular support (6) is introduced (see figure 1) that is coupled in said part and retained therein by wedge teeth (3) that it presents and whose presence expires, in the coupling, by pressure on the indicated stand against them.

The annular support (6) has its contour exterior forming alternative incoming parts (6a) and parts projections (6b) of convenient configuration for coupling perfectly in the open lower part (2) of the body (1) that includes the arm starts (4) in which they are introduced the protruding parts (6b).

These protruding parts (6b) conform, on the upper face of the support (6), prominence paths (7) finished off with respective nails (7 ') that contribute to the coupling e immobilization of said support in the body (1) and its perfect adaptation at the bottom open (2), where indicated nails are inserted into the hollow inside of reinforcements (8) presenting the joints of the arms (4) with the body (1) (figure 3).

The support (6) has on its upper face, and  regular distances, accommodation (9) where they are mounted light elements of type bulb or led (10), which are connected to each other through convenient cables (11) inserted in a circular groove (12) that the indicated face upper bracket (6) presents and crosses the housings (9).

One of these accommodations is also opened by the underside of the support (6) for the passage of the appropriate cables (13) that connect the light elements (10) to the battery or battery (14) that feeds them (figures 3 and 4).

Said battery is disposed within the halfcane configuration of one of the conical arms (4) coupling between it and its clamp (5), thus being able to device move comfortably and be arranged in the place that agrees without the possibility that the support (6) with its elements lights (10), as well as the battery (14), can be disconnected from the body (1) until manually act on them for some Repair or change.

The support (6) also incorporates a module electronic (15) (illustrated in strokes) that can be mounted on one of the protruding parts (6b) of said support and which disconnects the luminous device when the ambient light no longer allows display the light of the luminous elements (10).

The invention, within its essentiality, can be put into practice in other embodiments that differ only in detail from that indicated solely by way of example and which will also achieve the protection that collect. This device can then be manufactured to signage in any shape and size, with the means and most suitable materials and with the most convenient accessories, the component elements can be replaced by others technically equivalent, because it is all included within of the claims.
