Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une balise de signalisation routière. The present invention relates to a road signaling beacon.
Les balises de signalisation routière sont en général constituée d'un panneau dont le contour correspond à une forme normalisée et dont l'une des surfaces porte le signe, le pictogramme ou l'inscription de signalisation, et d'un poteau de fixation du panneau sur ou au voisinage de la chaussée de sorte que ce dernier soit situé à une distance déterminée du sol. Road signs are generally made up of a sign whose outline corresponds to a standardized shape and one of the surfaces of which bears the sign, pictogram or sign marking, and a sign fixing post on or in the vicinity of the carriageway so that the latter is situated at a determined distance from the ground.
La plupart des balises actuellement utilisées sont métalliques, réalisées à partir de tôle pliée tant pour les panneaux que pour les poteaux. Leur inconvénient majeur réside dans le fait qu'elles constituent un obstacle contre lequel un véhicule peut venir s'endommager, lequel véhicule endommage également la balise lors du choc. Most of the beacons currently used are metallic, made from folded sheet for both the panels and the posts. Their major drawback lies in the fact that they constitute an obstacle against which a vehicle can come to be damaged, which vehicle also damages the beacon during the impact.
La maintenance et le maintien en bon état des balises de ce type sont des opérations lourdes et onéreuses comptetenu de la grande dissémination des lieux de leur implantation. Maintenance and upkeep of beacons of this type in good condition are cumbersome and expensive operations due to the wide dissemination of their locations.
L'invention entend proposer une balise qui ne présente pas les inconvénients ci-dessus exposés grâce à laquelle les degâts causés aux véhicules sont limités et les opérations d'entretien et de remplacement très réduites. The invention intends to propose a beacon which does not have the above-mentioned drawbacks thanks to which the damage caused to vehicles is limited and the maintenance and replacement operations very reduced.
A cet effet, elle a donc pour objet une balise de signalisation comportant un panneau dont une face est pourvue d'un signe, solidaire de l'extrémité d'un poteau dont l'extrémité inférieure est fixée au sol, dans laquelle le poteau est de forme tubulaire dont la paroi en matière plastique possède une élasticité suffisante à lui faire recouvrer sa forme après pliage et/ou écrasement. To this end, it therefore relates to a signaling beacon comprising a panel, one face of which is provided with a sign, integral with the end of a post whose lower end is fixed to the ground, in which the post is of tubular shape whose plastic wall has sufficient elasticity to make it recover its shape after folding and / or crushing.
Dans un mode préféré de réalisation, la totalité de la balise est en une seule pièce creuse en matière plastique. Ces balises sont ainsi en matière non agressive, qui peuvent se déformer sous un choc et retrouver leur état initial après ce dernier. Se déformant plus aisément sous les chocs, elles endommagent moins les véhicules qui les percutent. In a preferred embodiment, the entire tag is in a single hollow plastic part. These tags are thus made of non-aggressive material, which can deform under a shock and return to their initial state after the latter. Deforming more easily under impact, they cause less damage to the vehicles that strike them.
Afin d'améliorer les propriétés "d'auto-relevage" de la balise, le poteau est intérieurement équipé d'au moins un ressort à spires hélicoïdales constituant un organe élastique d'assistance auxredressement du panneau. In order to improve the “self-lifting” properties of the beacon, the post is internally fitted with at least one spring with helical turns constituting an elastic member for assisting the straightening of the panel.
Pour sa fixation au sol, la base du panneau comporte un voile annulaire radial périphérique tourné vers l'intérieur du poteau. Ainsi au moyen d'une bride intérieure à vis de fixation centrale, il est possible de fixer le panneau sans que les moyens de fixation d'une part soient à l'extérieur du panneau, les préservant ainsi des agressions atmosphériques et d'autre part constituent une proéminance solide importante à la base du panneau. For its attachment to the ground, the base of the panel comprises a peripheral radial annular veil facing the inside of the post. Thus by means of an inner flange with central fixing screw, it is possible to fix the panel without the fixing means on the one hand being outside the panel, thus protecting them from atmospheric aggressions and on the other hand constitute an important solid prominence at the base of the panel.
La manoeuvre de la vis s'effectuera par une clé à tige introduite dans le poteau au travers d'une ouverture prévue à cet effet dans la paroi supérieure de la balise au voisinage de l'axe longitudinal du poteau. The operation of the screw will be carried out by a rod wrench inserted into the post through an opening provided for this purpose in the upper wall of the tag in the vicinity of the longitudinal axis of the post.
Enfin, la structure creuse de la balise et la matière plastique qui la constitue permettent sa fixation au moyen du voile annulaire sur un socle affleurant la surface du sol et comportant en son centre une source lumineuse. Finally, the hollow structure of the beacon and the plastic material which constitutes it allow it to be fixed by means of the annular veil on a base flush with the surface of the ground and comprising at its center a light source.
On comprend qu'ainsi un choc sur la balise ne détériorera pas la source lumineuse enterrée et préservée. It is understood that thus a shock on the beacon will not deteriorate the buried and preserved light source.
D'autres caractéristiques et les avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description donnée ci-après d'exemples de réalisation. Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description given below of exemplary embodiments.
Il sera fait référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels
- les figures 1 et 2 sont deux vues extérieures d'une balise conforme à l'invention;
- la figure 3 est une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un pied de balise fixé au sol:
- la figure 4 est une vue en coupe transversale d'une variante de réalisation d'un poteau de balise selon l'inven tison
- la figure 5 est une vue en coupe axiale d'un pied de balise lumineuse. Reference will be made to the accompanying drawings in which
- Figures 1 and 2 are two exterior views of a tag according to the invention;
FIG. 3 is a view in longitudinal section of a beacon foot fixed to the ground:
- Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of an alternative embodiment of a tag post according to the invention
- Figure 5 is an axial sectional view of a light beacon foot.
La balise représentée aux figures 1 et 2 est un corps creux en une seule pièce réalisé en matière plastique par rotomoulage ou extrusion-soufflage. La paroi qui la délimite définit d'une part un poteau tubulaire 1, ici cylindrique, surmonté d'un panneau 2 qui présente une face de signalisation 3 sensiblement verticale dont le contour est polygonal conforme aux normes en la matière et qui porte l'un des signes conventionnels dans le domaine de la signalisation routière. The tag shown in Figures 1 and 2 is a hollow body in one piece made of plastic by rotational molding or extrusion blow molding. The wall which delimits it defines on the one hand a tubular post 1, here cylindrical, surmounted by a panel 2 which has a substantially vertical signaling face 3 whose contour is polygonal in accordance with the standards in the matter and which carries one conventional signs in the field of road signs.
La matière plastique aura été choisie pour sa capacité, une fois durcie, à reprendre sa forme initiale en cas de pliage ou d'écrasement. The plastic material will have been chosen for its capacity, once hardened, to return to its initial shape in the event of folding or crushing.
Le pied de balise représenté en figure 3 fait apparaître un voile annulaire d'extrémité 4 tourné vers l'intérieur qui constitue la base de fixation de la balise sur le sol 5. Ce dernier est équipé d'une cheville 62 ancrée de manière connues dans laquelle peut pénétrer la vis 7 d'une bride circulaire 8 logée à l'intérieur du pied de manière que le serrage de la vis 7 pince le flan annulaire 4 entre la bride et le sol. The foot of beacon shown in FIG. 3 shows an annular end veil 4 facing inwards which constitutes the base for fixing the beacon to the ground 5. The latter is equipped with a dowel 62 anchored in a manner known in which can penetrate the screw 7 of a circular flange 8 housed inside the foot so that the tightening of the screw 7 clamps the annular blank 4 between the flange and the ground.
L'introduction de la bride dans le pied est réalisée en déformant la base du poteau 1 pour ovalisersa section3 la manoeuvre de la vis est réalisée à partir d'une ouverture 9 ménagée à cet effet dans une partie supérieure de la paroi du panneau (voir figure 2). Cette ouverture, une fois la bride serrée, peut être bouchée par un couvercle rapporté, par exemple par clipage.The introduction of the flange in the foot is carried out by deforming the base of the post 1 for ovalisersa section3 the operation of the screw is carried out from an opening 9 made for this purpose in an upper part of the wall of the panel (see figure 2). This opening, once the clamp has been tightened, can be closed off with an attached cover, for example by clipping.
La bride, dans le cas de la figure, constitue une coupelle d'appui pour un ressort 10 à spires hélicoïdales logé dans le poteau cylindrique 1 qui constitue un moyen d'assistance au relevage du panneau lorsque celui-ci a été couché au passage d'un véhicule. The flange, in the case of the figure, constitutes a support cup for a spring 10 with helical turns housed in the cylindrical post 1 which constitutes a means of assistance in lifting the panel when the latter has been laid down in the passage of 'a vehicle.
La figure 4 illustre une variante de réalisation d'un poteau 1 de panneau qui possède quatre ressorts longitudinaux 11, logés dans des évidements périphériques 12 de la paroi du poteau. Les ressorts de raideur plus faible qu'un seul ressort central présentent l'avantage d'être mieux protégés en cas d'écrasement de la balise par un véhicule. FIG. 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment of a panel post 1 which has four longitudinal springs 11, housed in peripheral recesses 12 in the wall of the post. The stiffness springs lower than a single central spring have the advantage of being better protected in the event of the beacon being crushed by a vehicle.
Le pied de poteau 1 représenté à la figure 5 est pincé entre une bride 8a et une contre-bride 13 par plusieurs 3 vis périphériques 14, la bride 8a étant, par rapport à la bride 8, évidée en son centre, de même que la contre-bride 13. The post base 1 shown in FIG. 5 is clamped between a flange 8a and a counter-flange 13 by several 3 peripheral screws 14, the flange 8a being, relative to the flange 8, hollowed out in its center, as is the counter flange 13.
La contre-bride 13 est quant a elle fixee au sol par une col- lerette annulaire extérieure 13a au moyen de goujons scellés dans le sol ou dans un socle en béton. Ces goujons servent également à la fixation d'un bottier 15, fermé à sa partie supérieure par une paroi transparente en verre 16 (ici portée de manière amovible par un cadre support 17), et logé dans une cavité du sol creusée à cet effet. Ce boîtier 15 contient une source lumineuse 18 (ici une ampoule)éclairant grâce aux ouvertures, la totalité de la balise par l'intérieur. Cette disposition présente l'avantage de mettre la source lumineuse fragile, à l'abri des chocs que pourraient subir la balise. The counter-flange 13 is in turn fixed to the ground by an external annular collar 13a by means of studs sealed in the ground or in a concrete base. These studs are also used for fixing a boot 15, closed at its upper part by a transparent glass wall 16 (here removably carried by a support frame 17), and housed in a cavity in the ground dug for this purpose. This box 15 contains a light source 18 (here a bulb) illuminating through the openings, the entire beacon from the inside. This arrangement has the advantage of putting the fragile light source, sheltered from impacts that the beacon could undergo.
L'invention n'est pas limitée à la réalisation décrite ci-dessus. Elle couvre au contraire des variantes de réalisation dans lequelles les poteaux seraient de section prismatique et les organes d'assistance au relevage, d'autres éléments élastiques allongés (ressorts à lames, cordes à piano...). The invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. On the contrary, it covers alternative embodiments in which the posts are of prismatic section and the lifting assistance members, other elongated elastic elements (leaf springs, piano strings, etc.).
