Abstract

An emplacement at a parking bay or route bears pivoting arms which are luminous or holographic and may carry a message to prevent parking or passage. The arms are driven by a small electric motor between a horizontal inactive position and a vertical active position some tens of centimeters high and are remotely controlled from an adjacent vehicle. The signal has an integral battery for motor and lighting.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de signalisation installable au sol, ou en tout endroit à partir duquel le conducteur d'un véhicule pourra le voir, et le manipuler à distance, pour signaler audit conducteur, au moyen d'un obstacle visuel, d'avoir, momentanément, à ne pas se garer sur un emplacement réservé en principe au stationnement, ou à ne pas utiliser une voie de passage. The present invention relates to a signaling device which can be installed on the ground, or in any place from which the driver of a vehicle can see it, and manipulate it remotely, to signal to said driver, by means of a visual obstacle, have, temporarily, not to park in a space reserved in principle for parking, or not to use a passageway.

Les espaces prévus pour la circulation des véhicules, essentiellement en milieu urbain, sont couramment munis de divers modes de signalisation, qui peuvent se présenter sous forme de panneaux indicateurs, ou de signes et mentions peints ou installés au sol sur les trottoirs ou autres endroits. The spaces intended for the circulation of vehicles, mainly in urban areas, are commonly provided with various signaling modes, which can be in the form of signposts, or signs and mentions painted or installed on the ground on sidewalks or other places.

La signalisation en cause est en général le fait des pouvoirs publics, autorité préfec torale ou communale. Certains particuliers, aussi, apposent parfois une signalisation privée, visible de la voie publique, comme par exemple le signe conventionnel "stationnement interdit", sur la porte d'un garage, donnant sur une rue ou sur un espace ouvert à la circulation. The signs in question are generally the work of the public authorities, the prefectural or municipal authority. Some individuals, too, sometimes affix private signage visible from the public highway, such as the conventional sign "parking prohibited", on the door of a garage, overlooking a street or an area open to traffic.

Divers types de signalisation existent aussi sur des espaces tels que des parkings de centres commerciaux, ou parkings d'immeubles, passages ou autres, accessibles à la circulation automobile, qui sont le fait des propriétaires ou responsables des lieux, lorsqu'il ne s'agit pas de la voie publique. Various types of signaling also exist on spaces such as car parks of shopping centers, or car parks of buildings, passages or others, accessible to the automobile traffic, which are the fact of the owners or persons in charge of the places, when it is not not on the public highway.

Dans une grande majorité de cas, la signalisation existant actuellement, en matière d'interdiction, relative ou absolue, de stationner, ou de circuler, qu'elle émane de l'autorité publique, ou d'entités privées, ne propose pas de dispositif de nature à s'interposer visuellement entre un véhicule et un espace donné, qu'il convient de laisser libre. In a large majority of cases, the existing signaling, in terms of prohibition, relative or absolute, to park, or to circulate, that it emanates from the public authority, or from private entities, does not offer any device likely to be visually interposed between a vehicle and a given space, which should be left free.

Le dispositif, objet de l'invention, se caractérise notamment en ceci qu'il se compose d'un obstacle visuel situé sur, ou aux abords immédiats de l'espace qu'il convient de signaler comme momentanément impropre au stationnement, ou au passage. The device, object of the invention, is characterized in particular in that it consists of a visual obstacle located on, or in the immediate vicinity of the space which should be indicated as momentarily unsuitable for parking, or passing .

Le dispositif, objet de l'invention, se caractérise aussi notamment en ceci qu'il ne constitue pas une barrière visant à empêcher, par un réel moyen matériel, le stationnement, ou le passage, mais qu'il constitue un signal évident, visuelle ment identifiable comme un obstacle sur le parcours d'un véhicule. Il existe des barrières, visant à empêcher l'accès des tiers non ayants-droit à un box ouvert, ou à un emplacement, délimité au sol (notamment dans le cas d'immeubles, où ledit emplacement ou box ont été acquis à titre onéreux), mais ces ouvrages ne peuvent être qualifiés de signalisation.En plus, ces systèmes sont notoirement et fréquemment l'objet de dégradations, volontaires ou accidentelles, et leur solidité fonctionnelle est souvent relative. En outre, il faut sortir du véhicule pour les actionner. The device, object of the invention, is also characterized in particular in that it does not constitute a barrier aiming to prevent, by real material means, parking, or passage, but that it constitutes an obvious, visual signal identifiable as an obstacle on the route of a vehicle. There are barriers, intended to prevent access by third parties who are not entitled to an open box, or to a location, delimited on the ground (in particular in the case of buildings, where said location or box was acquired for a consideration ), but these works cannot be qualified as signaling. In addition, these systems are notoriously and frequently the object of degradation, voluntary or accidental, and their functional solidity is often relative. In addition, you have to get out of the vehicle to activate them.

Le dispositif objet de l'invention, ne propose pas d'interdire l'accès par sa solidité mais de signaler in situ la qualité d'un espace considéré comme devant rester libre. Il constitue un obstacle amovible, virtuel et visuel. Cest un objet de signalisation. Le dispositif, objet de l'invention, se caractérise aussi en ceci qu'il est multidimen- sionnel, qu'il peut être animé par une source énergétique autonome, de nature lui permettre de se mouvoir dans l'espace, en vue de signaler alternativement aux conducteurs que l'espace est indisponible, ou, au contraire, disponible, selon les moments, ou selon la qualité des utilisateurs. The device which is the subject of the invention does not propose to prohibit access by its solidity but to signal in situ the quality of a space considered to have to remain free. It constitutes a removable, virtual and visual obstacle. It is a signaling object. The device, object of the invention, is also characterized in that it is multidimensional, that it can be powered by an autonomous energy source, of a nature allowing it to move in space, in order to signal alternatively to drivers that space is unavailable, or, on the contrary, available, depending on the times, or according to the quality of users.

Le dispositif, objet de l'invention, se caractérise aussi en ceci qu'il peut être action né au moyen d'un système de télécommande classique, comme ceux qui existent, par exemple, associés à des barrières automatisées de parkings. The device, object of the invention, is also characterized in that it can be action born by means of a conventional remote control system, such as those which exist, for example, associated with automated parking barriers.

Le dispositif, objet de l'invention se distingue des systèmes couramment utilisés pour empêcher qu'un véhicule circule ou se gare sur un espace donné en ceci qu ' n'est pas conçu pour s'opposer au stationnement, ou au passage comme le font divers types de barrières mobiles, souvent métalliques, lourdes et verrouillées. The device which is the subject of the invention differs from the systems commonly used to prevent a vehicle from traveling or parking in a given space in that it is not designed to oppose parking, or passing as it does. various types of mobile barriers, often metallic, heavy and locked.

On constate d'ailleurs que les barrières métalliques dont nous parlons sont fréquem- ment endommagées, soit du fait que les conducteurs, en évoluant dans des espaces restreints, les repoussent à l'aide de pare-chocs, par maladresse ou inadver tance, soit du fait que certains conducteurs, munis de gros véhicules, nliésitent pas à forcer le passage. Des dégâts affectent souvent les véhicules.Le dispositif, objet de l'invention, n'est pas en mesure de causer de dégâts. Le dispositif, objet de l'invention, propose à l'oeil un obstacle, certes, mais cet obstacle n'est rien d'autre qu'un signal évident, en aucun cas un barrage solide. Le dispositif, objet de l'invention, à l'inverse des barrières dont nous venons de parler, ne comporte pas de serrure, ni de mode de verrouillage, nécessitant qu'il faille sortir d'un véhicule pour libérer le passage. Il se présente ou se retire, sur le passage, au moyen d'un petit moteur interne, par exemple, lequel moteur, de très faible puissance, et de très faible consommation, pouvant alimenté par une petite batterie courante, et être actionné par une télécommande, par un conducteur.  We also note that the metal barriers we are talking about are frequently damaged, either because conductors, by moving in tight spaces, repel them using bumpers, inadvertently or inadvertently, or the fact that some drivers, equipped with large vehicles, do not hesitate to force the passage. Damage often affects vehicles. The device which is the subject of the invention is not capable of causing damage. The device, object of the invention, offers the eye an obstacle, of course, but this obstacle is nothing other than an obvious signal, in no case a solid barrier. The device which is the subject of the invention, unlike the barriers of which we have just spoken, does not include a lock or a locking mode, necessitating that it is necessary to leave a vehicle to free the passage. It is presented or withdrawn, on the way, by means of a small internal motor, for example, which motor, of very low power, and of very low consumption, being able to be powered by a small current battery, and being actuated by a remote control, by a driver.

Le dispositif, objet de l'invention peut aisément être rendu autonome, en conte nant une petite batterie de modèle courant, ou toute source énergétique appropriée, capable d'obéir à la télécommande et d'actionner le mouvement. The device, object of the invention can easily be made autonomous, by containing a small battery of current model, or any suitable energy source, capable of obeying the remote control and actuating the movement.

Selon un mode particulier de réalisation, on peut concevoir que le dispositif, objet de l'invention dispense une projection lumineuse, voire holographique, représentant, par exemple, le panneau conventionnel "stationnement interdit" ou encore "sens interdit". Dans ce cas l'obstacle visuel ad hoc serait actif, lorsque allumé, et totale ment inexistant, lorsque éteint. According to a particular embodiment, it is conceivable that the device, object of the invention dispenses a light, even holographic projection, representing, for example, the conventional panel "parking prohibited" or even "prohibited direction". In this case the ad hoc visual obstacle would be active, when lit, and completely non-existent, when extinguished.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.

La figure 1 représente, (selon un mode de réalisation), un assemblage mécanique léger, et qui, posé ou fixé au sol, sur un emplacement de stationnement, ou à ses abords immédiats, dans une position dite "passive" demeure discret et sans effet, mais peut être relevé au moyen d'une télécommande. Dans cette position, un véhicule peut passer par-dessus et même rouler dessus sans l'endommager. FIG. 1 represents, (according to one embodiment), a light mechanical assembly, which, posed or fixed to the ground, on a parking space, or at its immediate surroundings, in a so-called "passive" position remains discreet and without effect, but can be raised using a remote control. In this position, a vehicle can pass over and even roll over without damaging it.

La figure 2 représente le dispositif en position active.Il offre alors à la vue une ou plusieurs tiges ou barres dressées sur l'espace indisponible, ou très près dudit espace, à une hauteur de plusieurs dizaines de centimètres, et se conduit alors comme un obstacle visuel, qui indique à l'évidence l'indisponibilité de l'aire de sta tionnement, ou de passage concernées.2 shows the device in the active position. It then offers to view one or more rods or bars erected on the unavailable space, or very close to said space, at a height of several tens of centimeters, and then behaves like a visual obstacle, which clearly indicates the unavailability of the parking area or passage concerned.
