Description

PANNEAU PLIANT DE SIGNALISATION DE CHANTIER
La présente invention a pour objet un panneau pliant de signalisation de chantier.FOLDING SITE SIGNALING SIGN
The subject of the present invention is a folding construction site sign.

Il concerne le domaine des équIpements destinés aux entreprises de construction en général, et tout particulièrement aux entreprises de travaux publics
Intervenant sur la voie publique.It concerns the field of equipment intended for construction companies in general, and especially for public works companies
Intervening on the public highway.

Lors de la réalisation d'un immeuble ou de gros travaux, la zone de chantier est en général entourée de palissades ou de clotures en interdisant l'acces, et sur lesquelles sont fixés tous les panneaux de signalisation nécessaires Mais pour les chantiers de moindre importance tels que réfection de route, ouvertures de tranchées interventions diverses de courte durée, il est nécessaire; et obligatoire, de disposer aux approches de la zone de travail des panneaux signalant aux usagers ia présence du chantier et comportant certaines inscriptions réglementaires. Ces panneaux sont appelé à être déplacés fréquemment. When carrying out a building or major work, the site area is generally surrounded by palisades or fences by prohibiting access, and on which are fixed all the necessary traffic signs But for smaller sites such as road repairs, trench openings, various short-term interventions, it is necessary; and compulsory, to have at the approaches to the work area signs warning users of the presence of the site and including certain regulatory inscriptions. These panels are called to be moved frequently.

Les panneaux de signalisations réalisés à ce ,our sont soit montés sur un piétement avec embase lestée pour assurer leur stabilite, ce qui les rend lourds, encombrants et onéreux, soit au contraire des éléments très légers, pliables ou non, qui peuvent être aisément déplacés et stockés et sont en général d'un coût peu élevé, mais sont trop facilement détériorés, renversés ou même déplacés, par exemple par le premier coup de vent un peu violent, ce qui ne leur permet pas de remplir correctement leurs fonctions. The traffic signs made to this, or are either mounted on a base with weighted base to ensure their stability, which makes them heavy, bulky and expensive, or on the contrary very light elements, foldable or not, which can be easily moved and stored and are generally of low cost, but are too easily deteriorated, overturned or even displaced, for example by the first gale a little violent, which does not allow them to properly perform their functions.

Le dispositif selon la présente invention supprime tous ces inconvenients. En effet, il permet d'obtenir des panneaux de signalisation à la fois très robustes, très stables, peu encombrants et d'un prix de revient competitif, vu son usage. The device according to the present invention eliminates all these drawbacks. Indeed, it makes it possible to obtain road signs that are both very robust, very stable, compact and cost-effective, given its use.

Il est constitué par la combinaison de deux cadres rectangulaires de largeurs différentes réalisés en tubes d'acier soudés, le tube formant la partie supérieure du plus petiot cadre étant de section circulaire, et de dimensions telles que le tube de section carrée formant la partie supérieure du plus grand cadre puisse passer à l'intérieur et tourner librement de manière à permettre aux deux cadres de former un "" renversé lors de la mise en place du dispositif, ou d'être rapproches l'un de l'autre pour le transport et le stockage, des plaques portant les indications relatives à la signalisation etant fixées sur lesdits cadres. It consists of the combination of two rectangular frames of different widths made of welded steel tubes, the tube forming the upper part of the smallest frame being of circular section, and of dimensions such as the square section tube forming the upper part. of the larger frame can pass inside and rotate freely so as to allow the two frames to form an "" overturned when the device is put in place, or to be brought close to each other for transport and storage, of plates bearing the indications relating to the signaling being fixed on said frames.

Sur les dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs d'une des formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention:
la figure 1 représente en isométrie le dispositif ouvert, sans les plaques de signalisation,
la figure 2 montre dans les mêmes conditions, mais à une échelle différente le dispositif fermé pour le transport ou le stockage,
et les figures 3 et 4 illustrent deux exemples de panneaux selon l'invention pourvus de plaques de signalisation.In the appended drawings, given by way of nonlimiting examples of one of the embodiments of the subject of the invention:
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of the open device, without the warning plates,
FIG. 2 shows, under the same conditions, but on a different scale, the closed device for transport or storage,
and Figures 3 and 4 illustrate two examples of panels according to the invention provided with signaling plates.

Le dispositif, figures 1 à 4, est constitué de deux cadres 1, 2 en tubes dtacier soudes articulés par leurs parties supérieures, l'un des deux cadres étant moins large que l'autre, de manière à ce que ses tubes latéraux 5 puissent passer entre les tubes lateraux 6 de l'autre cadre. The device, FIGS. 1 to 4, consists of two frames 1, 2 made of welded steel tubes articulated by their upper parts, one of the two frames being narrower than the other, so that its lateral tubes 5 can pass between the side tubes 6 of the other frame.

Le cadre plus étroit I comporte à sa partie supérieure un tube de section circulaire 3, alors que le tube 4 formant la partie supérieure du cadre plus large 2 est de section carré. Les dimensions de ces deux tubes sont déterminées pour que le tube supérieur carré 4 puisse tourner librement dans le tube de section circulaire 3. The narrower frame I has at its upper part a tube of circular section 3, while the tube 4 forming the upper part of the wider frame 2 is of square section. The dimensions of these two tubes are determined so that the square upper tube 4 can rotate freely in the circular section tube 3.

Avant le soudage des cadres, le tube carré 4 est enfilé dans le tube de section circulaire 3, de manière à ce que les tubes inférieurs 7, 8 des deux cadres puissent être rapproches ou éloignés l'un de l'autre.Before the frames are welded, the square tube 4 is threaded into the circular cross-section tube 3, so that the lower tubes 7, 8 of the two frames can be brought close to or away from each other.

Les hauteurs des deux cadres seront avantageusement choisies de maniere à ce que le tube inférieur 7 du cadre étroit 1 puisse passer au-dessus du tube inferieur 8 du cadre large 2, les deux cadres occupant ainsi le minimum de place possible, et diminuant les risques de blessures en cours de manutention, lorsque le dispositif est plié pour le transport ou le stockage. The heights of the two frames will advantageously be chosen so that the lower tube 7 of the narrow frame 1 can pass over the lower tube 8 of the wide frame 2, the two frames thus occupying the minimum possible space, and reducing the risks injuries during handling, when the device is folded for transport or storage.

Afin de diminuer le cot de fabrication, les tubes latéraux 5, 6 et inférieurs 7, 8 des deux cadres auront de préference la même section que le tube carré supérieur 4 du cadre large 2. In order to reduce the manufacturing cost, the lateral tubes 5, 6 and lower 7, 8 of the two frames will preferably have the same section as the upper square tube 4 of the wide frame 2.

Les plaques de signalisation 9 proprement dites seront fixées sur les tubes latéraux 5, 6 et inférieurs 7, 8 de l'un ou des deux cadres 1, 2. Ces plaques pourront être réalisées en tout matériau, métal, plastique, bois, etc et être fixees par tous les moyens appropriés, mais seront de préfrence en acier et soudées. The signaling plates 9 proper will be fixed on the lateral tubes 5, 6 and lower 7, 8 of one or both frames 1, 2. These plates can be made of any material, metal, plastic, wood, etc and be fixed by all appropriate means, but will preferably be steel and welded.

Elles pourront porter des signaux routiers usuels (figure 4) et/ou tous dessins et inscriptions utiles ou obligatoires (figure 3).They may bear the usual road signs (Figure 4) and / or any useful or compulsory drawings and inscriptions (Figure 3).

Le positionnement des divers éléments constitutifs donne à l'objet de l'invention un maximum d'effets utiles qui n'avaient pas ete, à ce jour, obtenus par des dispositifs similaires. The positioning of the various constituent elements gives the object of the invention a maximum of useful effects which had not, to date, been obtained by similar devices.
