FR2629242A1 - Device for signalling roadworks on the highway - Google Patents

Abstract

Device for signalling an area of roadworks on the highway, which device comprises a tube covered with at least one heat-shrinking sleeve exhibiting at least two alternate colours. In a preferred embodiment the tube is metal.

Description

The present invention relates to a signaling device for delimiting and signaling a work area relating to works on public roads.

 And this to draw attention to all people when there are jobs of all kinds.

Currently, there are signaling systems such as for example the RED / WHITE or RED / ORAN colored plastic tape.
GE whose resistance and holding in place is not very reliable therefore the safety of people is not so well ensured.

 There are indeed a few tubular products with alternating RED / WHITE lacquer paint, and of different design depending on the company because it represents their own imagination and we see the lack of seriousness in the maintenance of this equipment because the paint is very quickly deteriorated and the primary vocation of signaling by attracting the eye to these colors no longer fulfills its purpose.

 The aim of our invention is to overcome all these drawbacks. The method according to the present invention consists in covering a tube, preferably metallic, with at least one sleeve made of heat-shrinkable plastic material and representing at least two alternating colors. preferential embodiment the tube is covered with two heat-shrinkable sleeves of two alternating colors (NATURAL RED & WHITE), in simple or reflective quality. The metal tube covered with one or more sleeves of different colors is placed on a conveyor the tube passes through a heating tunnel which allows the retractability of the sleeve on the tube. Then the tube is taken up by a new conveyor before being unloaded.

 This plastic-being treated against ultraviolet rays, will ensure good security in the tenps.

The annexed drawings illustrate the invention
PLAN 1/4 - figure 1 represents the connecting bar composed of a steel tube (1) covered with plastic sleeves
WHITE (2) alternating with RED plastic sleeves (3) .Each end is blocked by a protective cap (4).

 PLAN 2/4 - figure 2 represents the support tube made up of a steel tube (1) covered with WHITE plastic hips (2) -alternated with RED plastic sleeves (3) .The upper part is obstructed by a protective cap C4 >.

 PLAN 3/4 - figure 3 represents the support head made up of a cylindrical steel base (1) and on which four pins (2) are fixed.

 The PLAN 4/4 - figure 4 represents the set of all the above-mentioned elements.

 PLAN 1/4 connecting bars will be standardized in lengths of 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 meters.

We reserve the right to modify the design of the various support elements while retaining the character of the patent which is the replacement of the RED lacquer paint and
WHITE by the adaptation of RED and WHITE therno-retractable plastic sleeves in simple or reflective quality.

Claims (4)

 1) Signaling device characterized in that it comprises a tube (1) covered with at least one sleeve made of thermD-shrinkable plastic material having at least two alternate colors.  2) Signaling device according to claim 1 charac terse in that the tube is covered with two sleeves of two alternating colors.  3) Signaling device according to claims 1 or 2 characterized in that the tube (1) is metallic.  4) Process for the implementation of the device according to claims 1 or 2 characterized in that the tube (1) covered with one or more sleeves dt placed on a conveyor, said tube passing through a heating tunnel which makes it possible to carry out the retractability of the sleeve on the tube, which is taken up on a new conveyor before discharge.
