Background

The use of marking and supporting devices for signaling elements, of the type used for track marking in sports venues, is already known in the prior art.

Said devices, commonly known as piles, comprise a ground insert and an upper part which may comprise a support for one of the dividing or signaling tape. The ground anchor is typically made of a stiffer material than the upper part. US2007278394A1 discloses a marking device with these characteristics.

With respect to the device disclosed in the above document, the embodiment now presented differs in that it comprises two distinct parts, for example mechanically linked, and their separation possible whenever necessary. This feature allows the following additional advantages:

By being manufactured separately, it is possible to reduce rejection in the production process, since rejecting one part does not imply rejecting another. In the invention disclosed in the above document, the process used is bi-injection, that is, a first part is injected and on that part is injected to another, having a chemical bond, resulting in a single part. However, rejections in the second injection force to reject the injection part I;

In use, it is common to damage the rod (2). The realization disclosed in the above document implies replacement with a completely new product. Being two distinct parts, mechanically linked, it is possible to keep the spike (1) fixed in the ground and replace only the stem (2);

- The rod (2) has a flat front face (9) at the

contrary gives achievement disclosed at the document above referred to what it's all in . half cane. This aspect allows to facilitate at the process Printing in logos, or others elements decorative, by the processes pad printing, serigraphy or print the hot.

description

The present invention relates to a marking and support device for signaling or splitting elements comprising two components connected together by means of securing means, one component being a conical shaped post (1) to be inserted into the ground and the other, a rod (2) comprising at its top an H-shaped opening (3) which allows the formation of two segments (4) and (5) of different length which together form adjusting and supporting means so that a signaling or dividing element can be passed therethrough and at its base a section (6) directed into the stem (2) forming at its distal part an obtuse angle (15), allowing to increase the degree of flexibility of said rod (2).

The geometry of the post (1) has three faces at its lower end to provide greater stability to the marking and supporting device for signaling or dividing elements when fixed to the ground and does not affect its introduction into the ground itself.

The spigot (1) has at its upper end a circular platform (11) comprising on one side a notch (13) which is identical to the profile of the rod (2) so that it can be attached to it. said rod (2) and an edge (14) higher than the surface of the platform (11), capable of housing a set of holes (12) for receiving fastening means, for example rivets or screws, which allow mechanical connection. between the stem (2) and the post (1). The use of the notch (13) further provides additional strength in the connection between the post (1) and the rod (2).

The rod (2) has a flat front face (9) capable of accommodating decorative elements, inserted for example by means of pad printing, screen printing or hot printing and outwardly sloping side sections (10). a v-shape, which comprise holes (8) that allow the fitting of a film (7) capable of housing decorative elements.

It should be noted that the rod (2) and the post (1) are obtained by injection separately, and are subsequently connected manually or automatically. Made of the same material, preferably a composite or polymeric material, such as long fiber polypropylene, for example fiberglass, which does not need to be dehumidified prior to the injection process, unlike polyamides. Moreover, this material, compared to polyamide 6 (PA6) and short fiber polypropylene, shows a higher strength, since using long fibers the part is more robust and the surface finish is also superior. The fact that they are two separate pieces allows, in particular:

Decreased rejection rate in the production process, as rejecting one part does not necessarily imply rejection of the other;

Less expensive molds and processes are used;

- In use, it is common to damage the upper part. Being two separate parts, mechanically linked, it is possible to keep the base fixed on the ground and replace only the upper part.
