Abstract

Device for preventing birds from setting down, characterised in that a rigid rod (3) is arranged above the surface to be protected, the said rod being capable of turning freely about its longitudinal axis.

Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif empêchant les volatiles de se poser. The present invention relates to a device preventing birds from landing.

On sait que dans les villes les pigeons, notamment, posent de nombreux problèmes en raison de leurs déjections qui dégradent les bâtiments. We know that in cities, pigeons, in particular, pose many problems because of their droppings which degrade buildings.

De ce fait, on a été conduit à imaginer des dispositifs qui empêchent les pigeons de se poser. Un moyen utilisé à cet effet a consisté à placer des pointes, judicieusement espacées, sur les surfaces aptes à constituer des aires d'atterrissage pour ces volatiles. As a result, we have been led to imagine devices which prevent the pigeons from landing. One means used for this purpose consisted in placing spikes, judiciously spaced, on the surfaces capable of constituting landing areas for these birds.

De tels dispositifs, sont peu esthétiques et ne peuvent pas être placés sur les barres d'appui des fenêtres car ils constituent un danger pour les occupants. De plus, ils n'ont pas la faveur des protecteurs des animau-x- car les risques de blessures lors d'un atterrissage ne sont pas à écarter. Such devices are unattractive and cannot be placed on the window grab bars because they constitute a danger for the occupants. In addition, they are not favored by animal protectors-x- because the risk of injury during a landing cannot be ruled out.

On a aussi eu recours à un moyen qui, tout en n'empêchant pas le volatile de se poser, constituait un perchoir instable. Ainsi, on a eu l'idée de tendre un fil au-dessus de la surface à protéger, le diamètre du fil étant tel que les pattes du volatile n'avarient pas de prise suffisante pour la conservation de l'équilibre. A means was also used which, while not preventing the bird from landing, constituted an unstable perch. Thus, we had the idea of stretching a wire above the surface to be protected, the diameter of the wire being such that the legs of the bird do not have enough grip to maintain the balance.

Ce dernier dispositif ne donne toutefois pas entière satisfaction car sa mise en oeuvre engendre des problèmes en ce qui concerne la pose des supports et la mise sous tension du fil. The latter device is not entirely satisfactory, however, since its implementation gives rise to problems with regard to the positioning of the supports and the tensioning of the wire.

Le dispositif de l'invention, qui remédie à ces inconvénients, est remarquable en ce qu'on dispose au-dessus de la surface à protéger une tige rigide susceptible de pivoter librement autour de son axe longitudinal. The device of the invention, which overcomes these drawbacks, is remarkable in that there is above the surface to be protected a rigid rod capable of pivoting freely around its longitudinal axis.

De cette façon, si un volatile se pose sur la tige celle-ci pivote sous l'effet de la masse de ce dernier qui ne peut pas alors trouver un équilibre stable et est obligé de prendre son envol.  In this way, if a bird lands on the rod, it pivots under the effect of the mass of the latter which cannot then find a stable equilibrium and is forced to take flight.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise par la description qui va suivre faite en se référant au dessin annexé à titre d'exemple indicatif seulement sur lequel
-la figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective du dispositif de l'invention;
-la figure 2 est, à plus grande échelle, une vue en coupe transversale du dispositif de la figure 1;
-la figure 3 est une vue partielle, en coupe, effectuée selon la ligne
III-III de la figure 2.
The present invention will be better understood from the description which follows made with reference to the accompanying drawing by way of indicative example only, in which
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of the device of the invention;
FIG 2 is, on a larger scale, a cross-sectional view of the device of Figure 1;
FIG. 3 is a partial view, in section, taken along the line
III-III of figure 2.

En se reportant au dessin, on voit que le dispositif se compose essentiellement d'une embase 1, de supports 2 et de tiges rigides 3. Referring to the drawing, it can be seen that the device essentially consists of a base 1, supports 2 and rigid rods 3.

De la façon connue, l'embase 1 est fixée par collage sur la surface à protéger et la longueur de cette embase est un sous multiple du mètre. In known manner, the base 1 is fixed by gluing to the surface to be protected and the length of this base is a sub-multiple of the meter.

A chaque extrémité de l'embase sont disposés, au moins deux supports 2. L'extrémité supérieure de chaque support est conformée pour former un oeil 4 dans lequel on engage une tige rigide 3, ledit oeil formant un palier dans lequel peut tourillonner librement ladite tige 3. At each end of the base are arranged, at least two supports 2. The upper end of each support is shaped to form an eye 4 in which a rigid rod 3 is engaged, said eye forming a bearing in which can freely pivot said rod 3.

Des moyens sont prévus pour immobiliser axialement la tige 3. Means are provided for axially immobilizing the rod 3.

Ainsi, par exemple, on peut utiliser des bagues 5, réalisées en une matière élastiquement déformable, enmanchées à force sur les extrémités des tiges 3 (fig.3). Tous moyens équivalents peuvent être utilisés pour atteindre ce résultat.Thus, for example, one can use rings 5, made of an elastically deformable material, force-fitted on the ends of the rods 3 (fig.3). Any equivalent means can be used to achieve this result.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'embase 1 présente des bossages 6 comportant chacun un trou dans lequel on emmanche, à force, l'extrémité inférieure du support correspondant qui est avantageusement réalisé à partir d'un fil rigide. According to one embodiment, the base 1 has bosses 6 each comprising a hole in which the lower end of the corresponding support is force-fitted, which is advantageously made from a rigid wire.

Selon une variante chaque support présente un oeil intermédiaire 7, comme montré sur la partie gauche de la figure 3. De cette façon, il est possible de placer une tige 3 plus près du support pour s'opposer, notamment, à un atterrissage en vol horizontal.  According to a variant each support has an intermediate eye 7, as shown on the left-hand side of FIG. 3. In this way, it is possible to place a rod 3 closer to the support to oppose, in particular, a landing in flight horizontal.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, au centre de l'embase 1 est prévu un plot 8 qui permet la préhension de l'ensemble à l'aide d'une pince ( non représentée) en vue de sa mise en place, après avoir encollé la face inférieure de l'embase, sur une surface peu accessible. According to another characteristic of the invention, a stud 8 is provided in the center of the base 1 which allows the gripping of the assembly using a clamp (not shown) with a view to its installation, after have glued the underside of the base, on an inaccessible surface.

Bien entendu, la présente invention ne se limite pas au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté mais s'étend, au contraire, à toutes variantes de formes et dimensions.  Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown but extends, on the contrary, to all variants of shapes and dimensions.
