Description

Signal and proximity guard for vehicles in parking columns.

Object of the invention

The present invention aims at a signaling and proximity protector for vehicles in columns of parking lots, which allows the driver of a vehicle to be noticed its proximity to a parking column before contact with it, and also protect and prevent the vehicle from possible scratches in the case of final contact, all during parking maneuvers.

Background of the invention

The present invention arises in response to the need for collision prevention of vehicles against columns of a parking lot, during parking maneuvers.

Various forms of parking column signage.

One of the most common is to paint partially or totally the column using a light color, on the that one or more stripes of more intense colors are painted. Of this mode creates a contrast that allows the driver to visualize better the position of the column. Despite the apparent simplicity of this way of signaling is not very effective since with the passage of time the colors darken because of the dirt and the combustion gases of vehicles, losing said contrast. Their repair usually implies having to repaint all the parking columns, which entails inconvenience and costs significant.

Other forms of signaling consist of fixing on the columns one or more protective elements of colors flashy However, as the name says, the main function of these elements is more aimed at minimizing the consequences of bumps and scratches that signal the position of the column. In addition these protective elements usually have a volume considerable, which ends up reducing free space parking.

Likewise, its shape depends on the type of column, whether they are rectangular or circular, and their dimensions. Its assembly is quite annoying since the weight and size of the same generally requires drilling the column and fixing them on it directly or by using auxiliary fixing means such as flanges, clamps, brackets or other similar elements. The cost of the protective elements themselves and the cost of mounting them are quite considerable.
bles.

Another form of signaling consists of employment of sheets of flexible material that have an adhesive face for adhere to the column and a visible face with striking colors. With the passage of time not only darken by dirt and gases of combustion, but also by the rubbing of vehicles, which also causes its partial or total detachment. Also, these sheets They are supplied in metric quantities rolled in coils intended to cover a remarkable number of columns, so They are an expensive solution when you only want to signal A small number of columns.

The present invention solves and solves this problematic, because it allows the adequate and effective warning of the driver before contact with the column, in addition to a suitable vehicle body protection in case of contact final with the column.

Summary of the invention

The signaling and proximity protector for vehicles in parking columns, essentially characterized because it comprises a flexible sheet with an adhesive face that adheres to the column by the said adhesive face, and incorporating a banner with a protruding profile that includes a rod arranged parallel to the column at the desired distance.

These and other features will come off better than the detailed description that follows, to facilitate which It is accompanied by three sheets of explanatory drawings illustrating a case study that is cited for illustrative purposes but not limiting the scope of the present invention.

Detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention

In accordance with the purpose of this invention, the signaling and proximity guard for vehicles in parking columns, it is designed to receive to the driver of a vehicle from its proximity to the column of a parking before contact with it, and also protect and prevent the vehicle from possible scratches in the case of not being able to finally avoid final contact, all during maneuvers Own parking.

Figures 1 and 2 represent a view in perspective of the marker (1) of the present invention assembled on a circular column (4) and on a rectangular column (4) respectively.

The flag (1) comprises a flexible sheet (2) with an adhesive face (3), figures 3, 4 and 5, and is specially designed to adhere to the column (4) by the face adhesive (3) of the flexible sheet (2) configuring a banner (5) with a projecting profile (6) comprising a rod (7) arranged parallel to the column (4) at a distance desired. One of the ends of the rod (7) comprises an element reflective (8) that improves your visualization. The banner (5) comprises one or more reflective bands (9) on its face visible.

The flexible sheet (2) is located specifically enabled and arranged in its size and proportion to cover and wrap the entire perimeter extension of the column (4), whether it is circular or rectangular, as it may be appreciate in figures 1 and 2.

Figure 3 represents an elevation view of the signaling device (1) of the present invention before it is mounted on column (4), that is, before configuring the banner (5).

Figures 4 and 5 show in greater detail the distribution of the reflective bands (9) and the coating adhesive of the adhesive face (3) of the flexible sheet (2) according to a particular case of the present invention.

As you can see, the adhesive face (3) of the flexible sheet (2) is configured by a band extreme adhesive (10), located at each end of the flexible sheet (2), which allow its fixation to the column (4).

In turn, the adhesive face (3) of the sheet flexible (2) is configured by an intermediate adhesive strip (11) arranged on each side of the rod (7) that confers rigidity to the banner (5) and improves the grip of the rod (7).

In addition, the flexible sheet (2) has a specific padded texture, which protects and covers the body of the vehicle, in the event that despite the driver warning, finally contact between the vehicle and the column (4), thus ensuring that they do not occur dents or scratches on the body plate of the vehicle.

The invention shown may present the most relevant configuration and components for such functions. Be they can use the components that have been described or any other components suitable for performing the same type of task.

The invention, within its essentiality, can be put into practice in other embodiments that differ only in detail from that indicated by way of example, at which will also achieve the protection sought. May, thus, this invention be carried out with the means, components and most suitable accessories, the component elements being able to be replaced by other technically equivalent ones, because everything remains this included in the claims.
