Description

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an outgoing load signaling plate in vehicles.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

At present, outgoing load signaling plates are mandatory in vehicles comprising a quadrangular flat body whose exposed face comprises alternating red and white inclined stripes, and which is placed in the most protruding part of a load that protrudes from the limits of the vehicle. This board is called the V20 board.

At present, said plate comprises perimeter pots to tie or sew it to any part of the outgoing load by means of a cord, so that it is located overlapping back over the most projecting part of the load that protrudes from the limits of the vehicle.

This has the disadvantage that the plate tends to be combined or bent around the point of support - normally centered - that provides the most protruding part of the load due to the perimeter tension of the tied cord, causing at best the doubled and worse appreciation of the signal by other drivers, and in the worst case its own break.

These drawbacks are remedied with the use of the plate of the invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The outgoing load signaling plate in vehicles of the invention is of the type comprising a flat quadrangular body with a visible face provided with alternating red and white inclined stripes to be placed in the most projecting part of a load that protrudes from the limits of a vehicle, and according to the invention comprises on its rear face, the

less, a clamp to hug a tubular element belonging to said load that

protrudes, and most preferably a structural tube of a bicycle carrier from which

fixed by the back of the vehicle.

5 In this way the plate is not deformed or broken and is solidly attached to the protruding load.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Figures 1 and 2 show two views of the signaling plate of the invention from 10 opposing points of view.

Figure 3 shows a vehicle equipped with a rear bicycle carrier in which the plate of the invention is fixed.

DESCRIPTION OF A PRACTICAL REALIZATION OF THE INVENTION

The outgoing load signaling plate (1) (see fig 3) in vehicles (3) of the invention is

20 of the type comprising a flat quadrangular body (see figs 1 and 2) with a visible face (10) provided with alternating red and white inclined stripes to be placed in the most protruding part of a load (2) protruding from the limits of a vehicle (3), and according to the invention comprises at its rear face (11), at least one clip (4) for embracing a tubular element (5) (see figs. 3 and 4) belonging to said load ( 2) that stands out, for example a

Preferably, the clamp (4) comprises concave recesses (40) facing the inner faces (41) of its arms (42), with a concavity adapted to the outer contour of the tubular element (5), so that the fixation to the Increase the contact surfaces between clamp (4) and tubular element (5) and avoid discolorations, for example, by accidental manipulations when stopped or by the action of the wind during the movement of the vehicle. In addition, it has been provided that the clamp (4) ideally comprises means for tightening regulation that precisely allow to provide a solid fixation without deteriorating the clamp (4) or the tubular element (5). Said tightening adjustment means preferably comprise a tightening screw (43) with its corresponding nut (44), which are related to the arms (42) of the clamp (4) to regulate its approach. In addition, the possible arrangement of an antagonistic spring (60) that forces the opening of the clamp (4) to facilitate placement is provided, and once placed proceed to tighten. It is provided that the clamping screw (43) and / or its nut (44) ideally comprise a hand-operated knob (45) that does not therefore require the use of tools. Said knob

(45) can be used to provide an interlocking, not shown, unlockable by means of a lock (45a) with a key that supports its rotation with that of the screw (43) or nut (44) when it is interlocked and allows its free rotation or crazy when unlocked, from

10 way to avoid subtraction of the plate (1).

According to another feature of the present invention, the clamp (4) is oriented with its extreme opening (46) in a position substantially parallel to the rear face (1 1) of the plate (1), so that the plate is as wide as possible. possible close to the outstanding load (2), since its

15 dimension in the lateral direction is smaller than in the longitudinal direction.

In addition, the clamp (4) is ideally attached to the plate (1) ideally through an axial joint (63) that allows said clamp (4) to rotate around said axial joint

(63) with respect to the plate, so that the plate (1) can be oriented independently of the inclination of the clamp (4).

In order to transform any existing plate into a plate (1) with the features of the invention, it is provided that the clamp (4) is preferably attached to a plate

(47) flat that is attached to the rear face (11) of the plate (1). So, through

Said plate (47) can be attached to the clamp (4) to any existing plate. Said flat plate (47) comprises, for example, holes (48) for passage of screws (49) connecting to the rear face (11) of the plate (1), or it can also be joined by means of sticks or resins.

As for the plate (1) itself, it can comprise, for example, an aluminum base (14) that configures its rear face (11).

Sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the manner in which it is carried out in practice, it should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are subject to detailed modifications in

35 as long as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
