Description
La présente invention est relative à un élément de bande podotactile de forme générale plane, muni d'une multitude de plots en relief vers le haut. The present invention relates to a tactile strip element of generally planar shape, provided with a multitude of studs in relief upwards.
Comme il est bien connu, les bandes podotactiles sont destinées à éveiller de façon podotactile la vigilance des personnes aveugles ou malvoyantes lors de leur cheminement, notamment au bord des quais et des passages pour piétons. As it is well known, tactile strips are intended to awaken the tactile awareness of blind or partially sighted people during their journey, in particular at the edge of platforms and pedestrian crossings.
On connaît des dispositifs dits "rapportés", qui sont posés sur le sol ou autre support et fixés à celui-ci. So-called "add-on" devices are known which are placed on the ground or other support and fixed to it.
Ces dispositifs, habituellement réalisés en matière plastique ou en résine, sont cassants et présentent des risques de décollement.These devices, usually made of plastic or resin, are brittle and present risks of delamination.
Il existe également des dispositifs encastrés dans le support, ou intégrés dans celui-ci. Il s'agit alors de produits en béton, en céramique ou en asphalte, qui ont l'inconvénient d'être longs à poser. There are also devices built into the support, or integrated into it. These are concrete, ceramic or asphalt products, which have the disadvantage of being long to lay.
L'invention a pour but de remédier aux inconvénients des dispositifs connus. The object of the invention is to remedy the drawbacks of known devices.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un élément de bande podotactile de forme générale plane, muni d'une multitude de plots en relief vers le haut, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend une plaque métallique emboutie. To this end, the invention relates to a tactile strip element of generally planar shape, provided with a multitude of studs in relief upwards, characterized in that it comprises a stamped metal plate.
L'élément de bande podotactile suivant l'invention peut comporter une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes
- la plaque a une forme générale rectangulaire et présente le long de chaque bord longitudinal une aile repliée vers le bas à angle droit;
- la plaque est en acier inoxydable ou en un métal traité en surface contre la corrosion;
- la surface supérieure des plots est traitée chimiquement et/ou mécaniquement pour en augmenter le coefficient d'adhérence;
- la surface supérieure de l'élément est peinte;
- l'élément comporte des perçages dans les plages situées entre les plots;
- chaque aile présente un rebord d'extrémité replié vers l'intérieur et l'espace délimité par la plaque est empli d'un matériau de remplissage.The tactile strip element according to the invention may include one or more of the following characteristics
- The plate has a generally rectangular shape and has along each longitudinal edge a wing folded down at right angles;
- the plate is made of stainless steel or a metal surface treated against corrosion;
- The upper surface of the pads is treated chemically and / or mechanically to increase the coefficient of adhesion;
- the upper surface of the element is painted;
- The element has holes in the areas between the studs;
- Each wing has an end rim folded inwards and the space delimited by the plate is filled with a filling material.
L'invention a également pour objet un procédé de réalisation d'une bande podotactile, suivant lequel
- on réalise dans le support deux rainures parallèles; et
- on fixe sur le support une succession d'éléments tels que définis plus haut, d'éléments en introduisant les deux ailes de chaque élément dans les deux rainures respectivement.The invention also relates to a method of producing a tactile strip, according to which
- Two parallel grooves are made in the support; and
- One fixes on the support a succession of elements as defined above, of elements by introducing the two wings of each element in the two grooves respectively.
Suivant des modes de mises en oeuvre particuliers de ce procédé
- on fixe en place chaque élément par collage et/ou vissage;
- on laisse subsister un jeu de dilatation entre les éléments successifs.According to particular modes of implementation of this process
- Each element is fixed in place by gluing and / or screwing;
- a clearance of expansion between the successive elements is allowed to remain.
Un exemple de réalisation de l'invention va maintenant être décrit en regard du dessin annexé, sur lequel
- la Figure 1 représente en vue de dessus une bande podotactile réalisée à partir d'éléments conformes à l'invention;
- la Figure 2 est une vue prise en coupe suivant la ligne II-II de la Figure 1;
- les Figures 3 à 5 sont des vues partielles prises en coupe suivant les lignes III-III, IV- IV et V-V, respectivement, de la Figure 6; et
- la Figure 6 représente en plan, à plus grande échelle que la Figure 1, la région VI de cette Figure 1.An exemplary embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the attached drawing, in which
- Figure 1 shows a top view of a tactile strip made from elements according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a sectional view along line II-II of Figure 1;
- Figures 3 to 5 are partial views taken in section along lines III-III, IV-IV and VV, respectively, of Figure 6; and
- Figure 6 shows in plan, on a larger scale than Figure 1, the region VI of this Figure 1.
On a représenté sur les Figures 1 et 2 la zone marginale 1 d'un quai, par exemple de chemin de fer, équipée d'une bande podotactile 2. Cette dernière est elle-même constituée d'une succession d'éléments 3 tous identiques, qui ont en plan (Figure 1) une forme rectangulaire conforme à la norme NFP 98.351, avec une longueur de 1 m et une largeur de 42 cm. There is shown in Figures 1 and 2 the marginal area 1 of a platform, for example a railway, equipped with a tactile strip 2. The latter itself consists of a succession of elements 3 all identical , which have in plan (Figure 1) a rectangular shape conforming to standard NFP 98.351, with a length of 1 m and a width of 42 cm.
Chaque élément 3 est réalisé à partir d'une plaque métallique emboutie de façon à présenter d'une part une multitude de plots 4 sensiblement en forme de calotte sphérique, en saillie vers le haut, et d'autre part deux ailes latérales 5 ayant une hauteur d'environ 1,5 cm. Each element 3 is produced from a stamped metal plate so as to present on the one hand a multitude of studs 4 substantially in the form of a spherical cap, projecting upwards, and on the other hand two lateral wings 5 having a height of about 1.5 cm.
Les plots 4 sont disposés en quinconce, avec une rangée qui longe étroitement chaque bord longitudinal de l'élément. Chaque aile 5 est repliée à angle droit vers le bas et s'étend le long d'un bord longitudinal de l'élément. The studs 4 are arranged in staggered rows, with a row which closely follows each longitudinal edge of the element. Each wing 5 is folded down at right angles and extends along a longitudinal edge of the element.
Les éléments 3 peuvent être réalisés en acier inoxydable, ou en un autre métal éventuellement traité en surface, notamment contre la corrosion en vue d'une utilisation en extérieur. La tôle de départ a par exemple une épaisseur de l'ordre de 2 mm. The elements 3 can be made of stainless steel, or of another metal optionally treated on the surface, in particular against corrosion for outdoor use. The starting sheet has for example a thickness of the order of 2 mm.
Les plots 4 peuvent être soumis à un traitement chimique et/ou mécanique pour en augmenter le coefficient d'adhérence. Par exemple, comme représenté en 6 sur la
Figure 4, un quadrillage ou autre motif rugueux peut être réalisé par martelage sur la région supérieure de chaque plot 4.The pads 4 can be subjected to a chemical and / or mechanical treatment to increase the coefficient of adhesion. For example, as shown in 6 on the
In Figure 4, a grid or other rough pattern can be made by hammering on the upper region of each stud 4.
Pour la pose de la bande 2, on réalise tout d'abord par sciage deux rainures parallèles 7, à un écartement correspondant à celui des ailes 5. To install the strip 2, two parallel grooves 7 are first produced by sawing, at a spacing corresponding to that of the wings 5.
Après une préparation appropriée du sol 1, par nettoyage, dégraissage et pose d'un apprêt, on insère librement les deux ailes 5 dans les rainures 7, et on fixe les éléments 3 au sol par collage de leurs plages 8 situées entre les plots 4. After an appropriate preparation of the floor 1, by cleaning, degreasing and applying a primer, the two wings 5 are freely inserted into the grooves 7, and the elements 3 are fixed to the floor by gluing their pads 8 located between the pads 4 .
Le collage peut, en variante, être remplacé ou complété par un vissage. Dans ce cas, des orifices (non représentés) sont pré-percés dans les plages 8 des éléments 3, en nombre et suivant une répartition appropriés. The bonding can, as a variant, be replaced or supplemented by screwing. In this case, orifices (not shown) are pre-drilled in the areas 8 of the elements 3, in number and according to an appropriate distribution.
Comme représenté sur la Figure 6, on prévoit de préférence un jeu de dilatation e de quelques mm entre les éléments 3 successifs. As shown in FIG. 6, provision is preferably made for an expansion play e of a few mm between the successive elements 3.
Les éléments métalliques 3 sont très résistants mécaniquement et chimiquement. Leurs ailes pliées 5 permettent un alignement parfait à la pose et évitent l'arrachage des éléments par soulèvement transversal. The metal elements 3 are very resistant mechanically and chemically. Their folded wings 5 allow perfect alignment during installation and avoid tearing of the elements by transverse lifting.
Si on le désire, la surface supérieure de chaque élément 3 peut être peinte pour augmenter l'effet d'éveil des malvoyants, au moins sur les plages 8. If desired, the upper surface of each element 3 can be painted to increase the awakening effect of the visually impaired, at least on the areas 8.
Dans une variante non représentée, chaque aile 5 comporte un rebord d'extrémité replié à angle droit vers l'intérieur. La plaque étant retournée, elle est entièrement emplie d'un matériau de remplissage approprié, par exemple d'asphalte. La hauteur des ailes correspond à celle d'un revêtement, par exemple en dalles de béton de 8 cm d'épaisseur, dans lequel la bande podotactile doit être incorporée. In a variant not shown, each wing 5 has an end flange folded at right angles inwards. The plate being turned over, it is completely filled with a suitable filling material, for example asphalt. The height of the wings corresponds to that of a covering, for example in 8 cm thick concrete slabs, in which the tactile strip must be incorporated.
Ainsi, l'élément constitué de la plaque et de son remplissage forme une dalle podotactile, qui peut être mise en place de la même manière que les dalles courantes du revêtement. Thus, the element consisting of the plate and its filling forms a tactile tile, which can be put in place in the same way as the common tiles of the coating.
