Pour pallier cet inconvénient, on a proposé divers systèmes de consignation de chariots liés à une barre de guidage, de sorte que la consigne ne peut être récupérée que si le To overcome this drawback, it has been proposed various trolley logging systems linked to a guide bar, so that the setpoint can be retrieved only if the

La présente invention vise à obtenir un dispositif limiteur de file sûr, solide et économique, qui ne nécessite aucune adaptation des chariots, et qui s'applique aussi bien pour des chariots munis de consigneurs que pour des chariots qui The present invention aims at obtaining a safe, solid and economic, secure file limiting device which does not require any adaptation of the carriages, and which is equally applicable to trolleys fitted with loggers and trolleys which

Dans une forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention, le palpeur est constitué par une extrémité d'un levier à deux bras oscillant autour d'un axe solidaire d'au moins une des barrières et étant rappelé vers l'organe du chariot avec lequel il coopère, l'autre extrémité dudit levier comportant une butée pour ledit organe. Lorsque le palpeur est en appui contre un organe du chariot, par exemple une poignée, la In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the probe is constituted by an end of a lever with two arms oscillating about an axis integral with at least one of the barriers and being biased towards the member of the carriage with which it cooperates, the other end of said lever comprising a stop for said member. When the probe is in abutment against a member of the carriage, for example a handle, the

Si le palpeur n'est pas en appui sur l'organe d'un chariot, la butée est effacée par le basculement du levier sous If the probe is not resting on the member of a carriage, the stop is erased by the tilting of the lever under

Le dispositif 5 comprend un carter protecteur 6, solidaire du poteau 4, permettant le passage au-dessous de la poignée 7 d'un chariot 3. Le carter 6 contient un levier 8 articulé LATIONS. The barriers 1 and 2 are carried by posts 4. One of the posts 4 carries the limiter device 5 according to the invention, which is thus integral with a barrier 1. The device 5 comprises a protective housing 6, integral with the post 4, allowing the passage below the handle 7 of a carriage 3. The housing 6 contains an articulated lever 8
