1. DESCRIPTION

The present invention relates to a bollard pole with an elastic base joint applied to the various applications, from the regulation of the vehicular gust t in urban centers in general, to the discrimination of the driveway areas from the pedestrian and cycle-pedestrian areas to the support of the road signs and any type to the delimitation of the parking spaces in the parking areas, or to the support of the removable urban furniture elements I type, here: sed ut e waste bins. The bollard post with basic leastic joint? composed of a pole attached to a device called basic elastic joint, which is rigidly fixed to the ground or to any support, sensing it and spreads out with respect to its vertical axis in any direction. I basic elastic joint for goals. and, it is possible to flex. consequently to the application of an external farce and to return autonomously to the vertical position after t? s and the force? reflexes. The oscillation? Any-Direction with. a controlled excursion? the pole conf ers greater safety against platforms, cyclists, motorcyclists, or bodies movement in general, which can hit the pole, resulting in less damage to people or things, therefore lower costs of inanuteniione to c? rlPai of the institutions and 'Mi hot! ? substitutes for the repair of jobs to the load of users,

b) State of the art

the rigid bollard poles are used to separate In girariste situations, the areas intended for vehicular traffic from those reserved for pedestrian traffic and /? the basic functioning of most of the products on the market is based on the principle of opposing a rigid and therefore non-deformable resistance, to the impact force of any nature, 3 rigid bollard poles contribute to improve the safety conditions of the "soft mobility" routes with respect to vehicular traffic, however their stiffness makes them very dangerous towards cyclists and motorcyclists who accidentally collide with them during a fall, for the distraction of the driver q for ? new room for maneuver, are-often-bumped by? vehicles causing damage both to the pole and? to the surrounding pavement ,? requiring costly maintenance interventions. ? I aim to improve road safety for users? at the same time Limiting the maintenance costs borne by the elite managers, ensuring at the same time efficiency and efficiency. duration over time of the bollard poles? necessary for these to be mounted on basic elastic joints, the basic elastic joint must allow the pole to deter; in case of collision, an oscillation, elastic, with controlled excursion in its vertical plane or in any direction and in predetermined directions, with a predefined degree of stiffness,? che.at the cessation of the forsz to bollard pole assumes the original vertical position autonomously .. From the research air? lta? emerged that, to date, there is no product on the market that meets the requirements described above, for example. some solutions allow the pole to deform up to the breaking point while in others? expected, an elastic oscillation of the pal? without controllam ?? the degree of excursion and its springback.

Still others were conceived to be placed directly in the ground, despite the type of flooring more? used for the construction of the roads is the concrete, the bituminous mantle or the natural stone. Therefore only some of the solutions currently existing on the market reduce management costs and d? maintenance of the pole, but they are not sufficiently safe as they do not allow to control the degree of rigidity and oscillation of the pole,

c) the technical problem ?? the proposed solution

the first purpose? of the invention consists in equipping? n standardized bollard with a basic elastic joint that does not allow, in case of action, the controlled oscillation? and its vertical plane in any direction or in predetermined directions, with a predefined degree of stiffness and that, when the action of the gorge ceases, the pole disappears independently from its original vertical position. At the same time the stiffness of the dissuasion pole must be able to be adjusted, to allow it to cushion the impact force resulting from the accidental impact of a cyclist, motorcyclist or any moving vehicle. In addition, to counteract the shocks more? violent It is necessary to put a limit to the ossification of the poles said? aaor ?, avoiding that these can tilt until the bee is completely knocked down.

the second purpose of the invention is to guarantee the effectiveness of the integrated bollard post / basic elastic joint system, as the conditions of use vary. For example the bollard pole? must be more? rigid when the force comes from the side of vehicular traffic or vice versa pi? deformable when you pierce it, it arose from the milks of "sweet-softness".

The third purpose of the invention? that it is easy to install on any .support / flooring, whether it is bituminous, concrete or stone, whether they are under construction? existing.

The fourth purpose of the invention? guarantee its easy removal, permsttsndo uai temporary diversifi-cafes of the urban spas in which? inseiritdL and therefore - their greater flexibility? of use, there? without generating dangerous situations for users and reducing management costs for the entigestori.

The fifth scope of the invention? ? ensure easy replacement of the inconvenience pair with other elements of street furniture. Or to support the signs used in the maneuvering area in parking lots in general, where accidental bumps are more? frequent-. There? must be able to happen? quickly, feel p? sti ageriuntivl and without generating dangerous situations for users.

the sixth purpose of the invention? guarantee a high degree of durability and quality. entetioa del sistsm integrated pair of bollard / anode-elastic base.

The ultimate purpose of the invention? guarantee a reduction in the management costs borne by the health and safety bodies? and those charged to users for repairing damaged vehicles after an accidental impact.

The invention is bought by d? a shock-absorber pole mounted on an elastic base joint. The shovel-bollards and any other element of street furniture, can? be of any shape, and made of any material, provided? is-detato at the end? tm interior, with the characteristics described below. The deterrent pole can be replaced at any time with elements of road signs, c cor, other elements of street furniture, as well as with advertising signs in general.

The basic elastic joint has a circular plan and allows the bollard pole to flex along its vertical S, in any diieiione, under the action of an external force and then return autonomously to the initial position when it is plastered. It ? composed of the following eiemdati't

L? the base glass placed in direct contact with the floor and the support in general, contains all the elements that make up the basic elastic joint. It has a circular plan and? consisting of ?? bottom and a vertical containment wall calises with a tube d? same diameter of the bottom and welded to the same. Does the bottom of the base glass have? necessary holes both for fixing the stretch to the support by means of pegs, plugs or welding, and for ccns? nt-ire the water or liquids in general which could infiltrate the joint. The basic glass can? be made of steel or any other material with high mechanical resistance. The elastic joint is housed around the base cup, consisting of one or more disks of superimposed elastomer material *. The elastic rod of the discs, subjected to compression only during the oscillation of the pair, determines the stiffness of the elastic joint in a proportional manner

base, will allow to give it the desired rigidity.

2} The sealing ring placed on the upper side to close the glass of the h.sse, is fixed to the same by means of btiiicni. It is constituted by a circular crown which contrasts the action of the bottom during

the oscillation of the bollard pole. The simple removal of the ring

allows access to the elements that make up the basic elastic joint, to replace the elastic joint, to remove the

bollard pole or any other street furniture device, to allow maintenance? the adjustment or to allow you to cover the base cup with the stop, closing when I articulate

is not used. The sealing ring can? be made of steel or any other material with high ip resistance. mechanical.

31 The bottom plate, positioned between the sealing ring and the elastic joint,? fixed in joint integral with the base of the bollard pole o

deli 'element of street furniture in general ?. ? a flat e-lemanrg with a circular base having a diameter greater than the internal diameter of the sealing loop, and during the oscillation it guarantees both the integral anchoring

of the pole to the basic elastic joint, aia the ecnipreasion of the discs

of olast? meileo material making fulcrum aul? 'turning ring. Such

The compression force exerted by the bottom on the disks of elastomeric material affects only the semicircle behind the pole, with respect to the direction of the acting force, allowing the stiffness of the second joint to vary. they can be pre-installed simply by using half discs with elastic module diverging between them.
