Abstract

The device has an intermittent or fixed geometric luminous device (3) e.g. single lamp or strip light, that is surrounded by a triangle reflecting band (4). A right angle of an isosceles triangle (1) acts as a corner of a loading tailboard (2), where sides of right angle are 100 to 300 mm. The triangle is articulated along its hypotenuse (5) with a part of the loading tailboard by a stop hinge limiting an opening at 115 degrees.

Description

-1- La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour signaler aux usagers de la voie publique la présence d'un hayon de chargement de véhicule utilitaire en position de travail û donc horizontale. En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif selon l'invention, permet de signaler, par un dispositif lumineux (3) et/ou géométrique, les coins arrières d'un hayon ou d'une plateforme de chargement articulée à l'arrière de la cellule d'un véhicule utilitaire. Il s'agit de couper l'angle droit au niveau de l'hypoténuse (5) du triangle rectangle isocèle dont l'angle droit est le coin (2) du hayon; les côtés de l'angle droit mesureront de 10 à 30cm environ, selon la taille du hayon. The present invention relates to a device for signaling to road users the presence of a cargo liftgate of commercial vehicle in working position - therefore horizontal. With reference to these drawings, the device according to the invention makes it possible to signal, by a light device (3) and / or geometrically, the rear corners of a tailgate or a loading platform hinged to the rear of the door. cell of a utility vehicle. This involves cutting the right angle at the level of the hypotenuse (5) of the right isosceles triangle whose right angle is the corner (2) of the tailgate; the sides of the right angle will measure from 10 to 30cm approximately, depending on the size of the tailgate.

Ce triangle isocèle (1) est articulé le long de son hypothénuse (ou partiellement) avec le reste du hayon par une charnière à butée (6) limitant son ouverture à environ 115° (0° degrée étant lorsque le triangle et le hayon sont alignés, ce qui correspond à la position de fermeture verticale du hayon). La signalisation proprement dite consiste en un dispositif lumineux fixe ou intermittent 15 (orange, jaune ou rouge) signalisant le danger, dont la forme pourra: - être un feu simple à l'intersection des bisectrices du triangle isocèle ou - être une bande lumineuse signalant les trois côtés du triangle ainsi que le signal de détresse (warning). Ce dispositif lumineux pourra être complété par une bande réfléchissante en triangle (4) 20 rappelant ainsi le triangle de détresse. Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation: - lorsqu'il s'agit d'un feu unique, celui-ci est placé sur la face postérieure du triangle en position fermée (angle à 0°); - lorsqu'il s'agit d'une bande lumineuse, celle-ci sera située sur la tranche des deux côtés 25 de l'angle droit et sur l'hypothénuse de la face postérieure du triangle (précision ci dessus) et ce pour que le triangle lumineux soit vu de tout usager arrivant de l'arrière ou du côté du véhicule utilitaire; - la bande réfléchissante en triangle suivra les trois côtés du triangle isocèle sur ses deux faces, permettant d'être vue elle aussi des côtés et de l'arrière du véhicule utilitaire.This isosceles triangle (1) is articulated along its hypothenuse (or partially) with the rest of the tailgate by a hinge (6) limiting its opening to about 115 ° (0 ° degree being when the triangle and the tailgate are aligned , which corresponds to the vertical closing position of the tailgate). The actual signage consists of a fixed or intermittent luminous device (orange, yellow or red) signaling the danger, the shape of which may be: - be a simple light at the intersection of the bisectors of the isosceles triangle or - be a luminous band signaling the three sides of the triangle as well as the warning signal. This luminous device may be completed by a reflecting triangle strip (4) 20 thus recalling the distress triangle. According to particular embodiments: - when it is a single fire, it is placed on the rear face of the triangle in the closed position (0 ° angle); - when it is a luminous band, it will be located on the edge of both sides 25 of the right angle and on the hypotenuse of the posterior face of the triangle (precision above) and this so that the luminous triangle is seen by any user arriving from behind or on the side of the utility vehicle; - The triangle reflective tape will follow the three sides of the isosceles triangle on both sides, allowing to be seen also on the sides and rear of the utility vehicle.

30 Lors de l'ouverture du hayon, l'usager repliera le dispositif manuellement en cas de be soin. En faisant ainsi, le dispositif lumineux se mettra en fonction automatiquement. 2958232 -2- Afin de mettre en fonction le dispositif de signalisation selon l'invention, l'utilisateur fera pivoter manuellement le triangle rectangle isocèle le long de son hypothénuse jusqu'à sa position de butée à environ 115° (7). Par cette action, le bouton poussoir d'un interrupteur de fin de course (8), situé soit dans la 5 tranche du hayon correspondant à l'hypothénuse, soit dans la tranche de l'hypothénuse de la partie mobile elle-même, sera relaché, assurant ainsi la mise sous tension des éléments lumineux du dispositif. La source d'alimentation du dispositif sera la batterie principale du véhicule. En fin d'utilisation, l'opérateur fera pivoter à nouveau manuellement le triangle isocèle jusqu'à sa 10 position horizontale de repos (0°). L'arrivée en butée à 0° de l'hypothénuse du triangle isocèle de la partie mobile actionnera l'interrupteur de fin de course, ouvrant (coupant) ainsi le circuit électrique et provoquant l'extinction des éléments lumineux du dispositif (3). Pour des raisons de sécurité vis à vis des usagers il sera recommandé de couper 15 l'extrémité de l'angle droit du dispositif (9). Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention : La figure 1 représente le dispositif de l'invention en position de travail. La figure 2 représente le dispositif en position fermée et montre la charnière à butée. La figure 3 représente en coupe le dispositif en position de travail montrant bien l'angle 20 d'ouverture à environ 115°. La figure 4 représente en coupe le dispositif en position de travail montrant le bouton poussoir d'un interrupteur en fin de course relaché (ouvert). La figure 5 représente en coupe le dispositif en position de repos (0°) montrant le bouton poussoir en position fermée. When opening the tailgate, the user will fold the device manually if need be. By doing so, the light device will turn on automatically. In order to activate the signaling device according to the invention, the user will manually rotate the isosceles right triangle along its hypotenuse to its abutment position at about 115 ° (7). By this action, the push button of a limit switch (8), located either in the slice of the tailgate corresponding to the hypothenuse, or in the slice of the hypothenuse of the moving part itself, will be released, thus ensuring the power of the light elements of the device. The power source of the device will be the main battery of the vehicle. At the end of use, the operator will manually rotate the isosceles triangle again to its horizontal rest position (0 °). The arrival in stop at 0 ° of the hypotenuse of the isosceles triangle of the moving part will actuate the limit switch, thus opening (cutting) the electrical circuit and causing the extinction of the luminous elements of the device (3). For safety reasons with respect to users it will be recommended to cut the end of the right angle of the device (9). The attached drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 represents the device of the invention in working position. Figure 2 shows the device in the closed position and shows the hinge with stop. Figure 3 shows in section the device in working position showing the opening angle at approximately 115 °. Figure 4 shows in section the device in working position showing the push button of a switch at the end of the stroke released (open). Figure 5 shows in section the device in the rest position (0 °) showing the push button in the closed position.
