DESCRIPTION

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

It is the object of the present invention, as the title of the invention establishes, an accessory for traffic signals, that is, it refers to a set that placed and mounted on the traffic signals allows assembly, maintenance or replacement work. .

Characterizes the present invention the special configuration and design of each and every one of the parts that are part of the accessory for traffic signals so that it can be assembled and disassembled in a simple way in addition to offering practical and safe functionality in the process of maintenance of traffic signs.

Therefore, the present invention is circumscribed within the scope of structures or assemblies that allow work at heights such as stairs or the like.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The dimensions of the signals will vary depending on whether they are to be seen from a moving vehicle, depending on the road in question, the traffic characteristics and especially the speed. Signs that do not require to be seen from a moving vehicle (for example, forbidden parking) may have the smallest dimensions while arrow signs may only have the following heights and lengths:

Height: 250, 300,350,400, 500 or 550 mm

Length: 700, 950, 1,200, 1,450, 1,700, 1,950 or 2,200 mm.

When you have to perform maintenance work on the signs of the traffic signs, such as replacement or cleaning, if the signs are placed at a certain

height is necessary the use of a ladder, a fact that is not always possible, in case of existing it is difficult to support and transport.

Therefore, it is the object of the present invention to develop an accessory that allows work at height to be carried out on the traffic signals, developing an assembly such as the one described below and is included in its essentiality in the first claim.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is an accessory for traffic signals that allows maintenance work on the signs placed at the ends of the traffic signal posts and indicators placed along the roads and streets.

The accessory has a base structure comprising a "U" profile in a vertical arrangement inside which the traffic signal post is housed and to which it is attached by means of two through bolts with their respective pins.

On the other hand on the "U" profile there is a first upper angular profile and a second lower angular profile. Both profiles are positioned transversely with respect to the "U" angular profile, the upper one is fixed at the upper end while the lower one it is fixed on the lower third of the vertical "U" profile.

It also has a staircase built with two stringers and joined together by means of crossbars, the staircase being attached to the base structure by means of a support profile that joins the ladder with the lower angular profile, and by means of a platform of support that joins the upper end of the ladder with the upper angular profile.

Unless otherwise indicated, all technical and scientific elements used herein have the meaning normally understood by a person skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. In the practice of the present invention,

they can use procedures and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein.

Throughout the description and the claims the word "comprises" and its variants are not intended to exclude other technical characteristics, additives, components or steps. For those skilled in the art, other objects, advantages and features of the invention will be apparent in part of the description and part of the practice of the invention.

EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical implementation thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented.

In Figure 1, we can see the base structure of the accessory that is mounted on the signal post.

In Figure 2, we can see how a ladder would be arranged on the base structure.

Figure 3 shows how a support platform would be arranged.

Figures 4 and 5 show representations of the actual use that can be given to the accessory.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION.

In view of the figures, a preferred embodiment of the proposed invention is described below.

In Figure 1 we can see the base structure of the accessory and comprising a "U" profile in vertical arrangement (1) that has a first angular profile (2) attached at its upper end transversely with the horizontal section placed in its lower part, and a second angular profile (3) joined in the lower third of the "U" profile (1), where this second angular profile (3) is also positioned so that horizontal section is placed in its lower part.

The "U" profile (1) is attached to the traffic signal post, the post being housed in the interior of the "U" profile and subsequently secured by means of two through bolts (1.1).

Figure 2 shows how a ladder (4) is attached to the second angular profile (3) by means of horizontal profiles (5), where the ladder (4) comprises two stringers (4.1) in inclined arrangement and connected by a series of crossbars (4.2) in horizontal arrangement.

Finally, in figure 3 it is shown how the accessory is finished off by a support platform (6) that is supported on the first angular profile (2) and on the upper end of the two stringers (4.1) of the ladder (4) .

Figure 4 shows how a person can easily climb and be perfectly safe on the support platform (5), Figure 5 shows how a person can carry out the work to be done on the signals at such a height It makes your job easier.

Describing sufficiently the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is noted that, within its essentiality, it may be implemented in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example. , and which will also achieve the protection sought, provided that it does not alter, change or modify its fundamental principle.
