DESCRIPTION

Protective structural element of the base of the traffic light columns.

Object of the patent

The present invention refers to a structural element for the protection of the base of the traffic light columns which we will call a cap. It comes to solve the problem that currently many of these structural elements have a high level of deterioration and constitute an accident risk for pedestrians. Being an element that is at the base of the traffic light column, to remove it it is necessary to disassemble all the elements fixed to said column, such as the repeater traffic light of two light bodies, red and green, 100 mm in diameter of lenses , the traffic light for pedestrians of two square luminous bodies with screen-printed glass with the silhouette of a pedestrian standing in red and in the other the silhouette of a pedestrian in motion, in green, and the traffic light of three luminous bodies, red, amber and green , of 200 mm of diameter of lenses, ace! like all its electrical connections, all of which implies a high cost, difficult to assume for the conservation and maintenance of traffic lights companies.

The advantages of the present invention compared to the state of the art are the following:

- Reduction of the final product and practically no labor to replace the damaged elements.

- Being manufactured in ABS, or other thermoplastic materials on the market, it gives more durability and lower manufacturing price.

- In the case of bacilli, an element that allows the placement of an air traffic light, the same idea is maintained, with the incorporation of a cap proposed in the present invention, which implies placing the bacilli on the floor, lowering the substitution and being able to detect the poor condition of the base, avoiding accidents caused by corrosion that in many cases cannot be prevented by appearing under the floor.

- The assembly of the cap of the present invention can be carried out even when the column is installed, facilitating its removal if necessary, since its design is designed for this purpose.

Background of the invention

Although document ES2311868T3 refers to a set of lights comprising a pole with a plurality of sections that can be coupled to each other located end to end to form the pole each section having a hole through it to form a conduit through the sections for locating a fixing cable through the conduit, fixing means that can be movably fixed to the fixing cable in an axial direction to fix the sections of the post to each other, and a light attached at an upper end of the post of In an operative way, it does not solve the problem as the present invention does, which it does by coating the base of the column with a removable protective cap.

ES2358392A 1 describes a modular traffic light; of the type of those formed by modules that can be coupled together, to form a vertical alignment, and which define internal holes for the accommodation of respective optical signaling groups; each of the modules comprising: a hollow rear body, open at the upper and lower ends and the front area, and which extends through the upper and lower ends open on two vertical walls, with a general U-section and different open widths towards the frontal zone; said rear body having first horizontal guiding means arranged in the respective upper and lower vertical walls for the coupling of successive rear bodies in vertical alignment, second horizontal guiding means defined in the upper vertical wall for the optional coupling of an upper core in the upper traffic light module, third horizontal guiding means for mounting a lower core in the lower traffic light module, horizontal fourth guiding means for coupling an anterior body and fifth guiding means for optional coupling of an upper closing lid of the upper traffic light module, an anterior body provided with horizontal guiding means, complementary to the horizontal fourth guiding means of the rear body for coupling with said rear body, forming a closed tubular structure of high strength mechanics , said front body having a front window for mounting and coupling superimposed in the frontal direction of at least one sealing ring, an optical group, a centering ring of the optical group and an annular bezel provided with upper and lower extensions for the frontal closure of the cavities delimited respectively by the vertical walls, upper and lower, of the rear body.

The compared invention tries to solve the problem of assembly and coupling of a traffic light through successive bodies and guiding means that make the system very complex. Against this, the present invention simplifies the problem by reducing it to a single structure element at the base of the traffic light column.

Document ES1076612U describes a pedestal for street furniture, which being intended to constitute a mounting means or seat for certain elements of street furniture, such as a traffic light, a lamppost, a bench leg and the like, which is constituted by a body of resistant material that in its lower face is affected by at least one recess to accommodate any type of element corresponding to electrical, electronic, radio frequency, communications, telephone and even energized components.

In this case, the compared invention refers to a street furniture pedestal such as a traffic light, a lamppost, a bench leg and the like, while the requested invention consists of a structure element that protects the base or the traffic light pedestal. .

ES2155808A1 describes a signaling support and other road and informational signaling elements, comprising a recessed bar provided with a vertical section and a horizontal section from which signaling elements and stabilization means of both sections of said bar hang, being said stabilization means constituted by two inclined bars of adjustable extension joined articulated each by one of its ends to said vertical section and by the other of its ends to said horizontal section. The solution is very different from that of the present invention.

Conclusions: As can be seen from the comparison made, none of the documents compared solve the problems posed as the proposed invention does.

Description of the invention

The present invention is constituted from a protective structure of the base of a traffic light column, preventing access to the passage window of fixing cables and nuts and conferring a more aesthetic finish. This protective structure is manufactured in ABS, or in other thermoplastic materials existing in the market, giving it more durability and lower manufacturing price, over the conventional version of the base in galvanized sheet and for the purposes of this specification it has been called a cap.

Said cap consists of two identical, concentric halves that face a structure by revolution of 360 ° and 270 mm high, presenting a conicity that goes from 0300 mm at the base to 0110 mm at the top.

The union of the two concentric halves can be done with different fixing systems, either by means of flanges with screws, well embedded. or through magnet, allowing a quick and effective union.

The material allows its painting to adapt it to the suitable colors or it can be manufactured at the origin in the requested tone.
