Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de sécurité destiné à être mis en place sur une ou plusieurs barres en acier9 telles que par exemple des armatures se trouvant en attenteS lors de la construction d'ouvrages en béton, ou sur toute autre extrémité de tige9 barres tube, constituant un danger pour les personnes,
A l'inverse et sans qu'il soit besoin d'y revenir par la suite, ce même dispositif peut servir à protéger l'estré- mité de pièces fragiles usinées, de tiges, barres ou autres, sur les quelles' il peut s'adapter.
The present invention relates to a safety device intended to be put in place on one or more steel bars9 such as, for example, reinforcements that are on standby during the construction of concrete structures, or on any other end of the rod9 tube bars, constituting a danger for people,
Conversely and without the need to return to it later, this same device can be used to protect the hermit of fragile machined parts, rods, bars or the like, on which it can 'adapt.

Sur les chantiers, la présence de barres en acier, qui dépassent du béton lors de la construction d'un édifice quelconque, est source de nombreux accidents, qui peuvent aller de simples déchirures de vêtements à des accidents mortels, tels que des empalements des ouvriers. On construction sites, the presence of steel bars, which protrude from concrete during the construction of any building, is the source of many accidents, which can range from simple tears in clothing to fatal accidents, such as impalations of workers .

Jusqu'à ptésenté, aucun dispositif n'avait été proposé pour réduire les risque que fait encourir aux ouvriers la présence sur les chantiers de telles barres. Until now, no device has been proposed to reduce the risk to workers of the presence of such bars on construction sites.

Or, étant donné que ces barres sont source d'accidents très gravers et très fréquents, les compagnies d'assurance, à qui ces accidents content très chers, ont mis en demeure les entrepreneurs d'apporter une solution à ce problème. However, given that these bars are a source of very serious and very frequent accidents, insurance companies, to whom these very expensive content accidents, have put entrepreneurs on notice to provide a solution to this problem.

En conséquence, l'invention a pour objet de proposer un dispositif de sécurité du type ci-dessus, caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué par une capsule de forme arrondie munie d'une tête et d'une tige creuse et destinée à s'emmancher sur les barres en acier pour recouvrir leur extrémité. Consequently, the object of the invention is to provide a safety device of the above type, characterized in that it is constituted by a capsule of rounded shape provided with a head and a hollow rod and intended for s fit onto the steel bars to cover their ends.

Bien entendu, pour être efficaces, il est très important que ces manchons soient prévus en un matériau relativement souple, et ne comportent aucune arête vive; dans ce but, et selon une caractéristique préférentielle de l'invention, la capsule est en matière plastique. Of course, to be effective, it is very important that these sleeves are provided in a relatively flexible material, and have no sharp edges; for this purpose, and according to a preferred characteristic of the invention, the capsule is made of plastic.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la tige de la capsule est munie d'un moyen de pincement permettant de la maintenir sur la ou les barres en acier. La présence de ce moyen de pincement améliore encore la sécurité apportée par le dispositif, étant donné que, une fois mise en place, la capsule ne peut pas s'enlever spontanément9 et, de plus, cette caractéristique permet de réutiliser plusieurs fois la même capsule, permettant ainsi de diminuer les frais consécutifs à son utili sation. According to another characteristic of the invention, the rod of the capsule is provided with a pinching means making it possible to hold it on the steel bar or bars. The presence of this pinching means further improves the security provided by the device, given that, once put in place, the capsule cannot be removed spontaneously9 and, moreover, this characteristic makes it possible to reuse the same capsule several times. , thus making it possible to reduce the costs consecutive to its use.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le dispositif de pincement permet à une même capsule de pouvoir s'emmancher efficacement sur des tiges de différents diamètres. According to another characteristic of the invention, the clamping device allows the same capsule to be able to be fitted effectively onto rods of different diameters.

Selon une autre caractéristique préférentielle de l'invention, le moyen de pincement est constitué de lamelles découpées longitudinalement dans le tige de la capsule. According to another preferred characteristic of the invention, the pinching means consists of lamellae cut longitudinally in the rod of the capsule.

Cette disposition permet de donner une certaine élasticité à la tige creuse de la capsule et donc 2eut lui permettre de protéger des barres de différents diaul:tres,
Ainsi, et étant donné que les capsules peuvent servir plusieurs fois, et pour protéger des tiges de différents diamètres, le prix de revient consécutif à leur utilisation se trouve dans une grande mesure diminué.
This arrangement makes it possible to give a certain elasticity to the hollow rod of the capsule and therefore allows it to protect bars of different diameters: very,
Thus, and since the capsules can be used several times, and to protect rods of different diameters, the cost price consecutive to their use is largely reduced.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le dispositif comporte un moyen d'amortissement de chocs prévu à l'extrémité de la partie creuse de la tige de la capsule; d'une façon préférentielle, ce moyen d'amortissement de chocs est constitué par un bouchon en caoutchouc mousse ou autre matière élastique. According to another characteristic of the invention, the device comprises a shock absorbing means provided at the end of the hollow part of the rod of the capsule; preferably, this shock absorbing means consists of a foam rubber stopper or other elastic material.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la capsule est fluorescente9 ce qui permet aux extrémités de tiges munies de ce dispositif, d'être facilement repérées lors du travail de nuit, qui est très fréquent sur chantier. According to another characteristic of the invention, the capsule is fluorescent9 which allows the ends of rods provided with this device, to be easily identified during night work, which is very common on site.

Les caractéristiques du dispositif de sécurité qui fait l'objet de l'invention, seront décrites plus en détail en se référant à la figure jointe représentant schématiquement une telle capsule. The characteristics of the safety device which is the subject of the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the attached figure schematically representing such a capsule.

Selon cette figure, le dispositif de sécurité, objet de l'invention, est constitué par une capsule 1, en un matériau mou, tel que par exemple une matière plastique, destinée à venir s'emmancher sur une ou plusieurs barres en acier 2, telles que par exemple des armatures se trouvant en attente lors de la construction d'ouvrages en béton, pour venir recouvrir leur extrémité 3, et permettre ainsi de protéger les ouvriers qui travaillent sur le chantier, en diminuant les risques d'accidents consécutifs à la présence de telles barres. According to this figure, the safety device, object of the invention, consists of a capsule 1, made of a soft material, such as for example a plastic material, intended to be fitted onto one or more steel bars 2, such as, for example, reinforcements that are on standby during the construction of concrete structures, to cover their end 3, and thus make it possible to protect workers who work on the site, by reducing the risk of accidents resulting from the presence of such bars.

La capsule i, qui est de forme arrondie, et ne comporte aucun angle vif, est munie d'une tête 4, ainsi que d'une tige 5, creuse en sa partie interne 6, de façon à permettre l'in troduction des barres 2. The capsule i, which is rounded in shape, and has no sharp angles, is provided with a head 4, as well as a rod 5, hollow in its internal part 6, so as to allow the introduction of the bars 2.

Par ailleurs9 la tige 59 est munie d'un moyen de pincement 7, destiné à conférer à la tige 5 une certaine élasticité, de façon à permettre son emboStement sur des tiges 2 de différents diamètres et la récupération et la réutilisation de la capsule 1 après qu'elle ait été enlevée. Furthermore 9 the rod 59 is provided with a pinching means 7, intended to give the rod 5 a certain elasticity, so as to allow it to be fitted onto rods 2 of different diameters and the recovery and reuse of the capsule 1 after that it was removed.

Selon la figure, ce moyen 7 est constitué par des découpes longitudinales 8, prévues le long de la tige 5. Cette tige 5 est étranglée en sa partie centrale de manière à pouvoir se dilater et s'adapter en pinçant sur différents diamètres de fer; bien entendu, cette caractéristique n'est nullement limitative, et on pourrait prévoir un moyen de pincement 7 de type différent, sans pour cela sortir du cadre de l'invention0
Par ailleurs, et pour améliorer encore la sécurité apportée par l'utilisation de la capsule '. selon l'invention, la partie creuse 8 est remplie, à son ermité 9, d'un bouchon de caoutchouc.mousse d0, ou autre matière élastique, faisant office de moyen d'amortissement des chocs.
According to the figure, this means 7 consists of longitudinal cutouts 8, provided along the rod 5. This rod 5 is constricted in its central part so as to be able to expand and adapt by pinching on different diameters of iron; of course, this characteristic is in no way limiting, and provision could be made for pinching means 7 of different types, without thereby departing from the scope of the invention.
Furthermore, and to further improve the security provided by the use of the capsule '. according to the invention, the hollow part 8 is filled, at its hermit 9, with a stopper of rubber d0 foam, or other elastic material, acting as a means of shock absorption.

La capsule 1 peut être prévue en un matériau mou quelconque, et notamment en matière plastique; étant dohné que le travail de nuit est fréquent sur les chantiers, il peut être intéressant de rendre les capsules fluorescentes pour les rendre plus facilement visibles au cours de ce travail de nuit. The capsule 1 can be provided in any soft material, and in particular in plastic material; Being aware that night work is frequent on construction sites, it may be interesting to make the capsules fluorescent to make them more easily visible during this night work.
