Fastening for traffic sign

The invention relates to the affixing to a traffic sign as defined by the introductory part of the independent patent claim.

The following resources were used as state of the art:

model YU 9049 (M 12/90) for the subject of the clamp for the attachment of a sign to a pole of a traffic sign (Polanc) by the applicant MEBLO NOVA GORICA, n.sol.o, Basic organization of the joint work KOVINOPLASTIC PRODUCTS NOVA GORICA, n.sol.o., and patent SI 9600235 (P 9600235) for the subject Information Panel (Avsec) of the Applicant KANJA, a road equipment manufacturing, trade and services company Raka doo, Brege / Leskovec near Krško.

The YU 9049 clamp comprises two semi-clamping joints for the traffic sign pole, two washers for engaging the rigid flap of the profiled bandage frame of the traffic sign, two screws for the mutual tightening of said semi-clamping parts, two screws for the mutual tightening of the said two adjacent flywheels. with semi-clamping parts and washers, with a total of eight components and a weld joint. Due to the welding joint, the base plate in question is designed so that it fits in the center of the hem. The material of the clamp is - due to welding - steel and as such is subject to rust. In addition to the relatively large number of components, rusting is a decisive disadvantage of the known clamp, since it is practically impossible to avoid rusting at the junction between the solids and the washer.

The information clamp for the information board of SI 9600235 comprises one half-clamped and one four-clamped link for linking the pole with a traffic sign, a single supporting strip, in this case an arched cross-section, to engage the free lane (= rigid flap) of the profiled bandage frame of the traffic character and a single pair of screws for interconnecting all three of these parts. The disadvantage of this solution mainly lies in the impracticality of on-site assembly, when two joints are performed by tightening the screws (= on the one hand clamping the rigid tab of the profiled bandage frame between the arms of the arc-profiled support strip and on the other tightening the clamps). that moisture and dust are retained in the upper (of the two) support rails, the receiving mouth of which faces upwards and therefore the bar acts as a groove.

The aim of the invention is to eliminate the element of connection, which in the state of the art is located between the bar of the traffic sign and the inner base (comparative model) or the strip (comparative patent).

According to the invention, said object is achieved by the features of the attachment contained in the characteristic part of the independent patent claim.

The inventive details of the attachment are set out in sub-claim.

The invention will now be described in detail with a description of a specific embodiment of the attachment presented in the accompanying drawings, without being limited in any way by the scope of protection. It shows:

FIG. 1 is an assembly of a standing pole, an invention fastening and with a bandage of a framed traffic sign in outline projection, partly in section along a connecting screw; FIG. 2 is an assembly of FIG. 1 in plan view, partly in cross-section along the connecting screw and with the upper section of the traffic sign removed, according to the sketch of FIG. 1 is a reduced, FIG. 3 as FIG. 1, but without a pole and with a bandage of a framed traffic sign, thus only an invention fastening, FIG. 4 as FIG. 2, but without a pole and with a bandage of a framed traffic sign, thus again only an invention fastening, and FIG. 5 profile washers.

The fastening according to the invention consists of a semi-clamping part 1, two washers 2, 3 and two mother screws 4. The half-clamping part 1 is adapted to a rod D. The base strips 2, 3 are substantially identical to each other, positioned mirror-symmetrically in the installed state and receive a rigid tab T band B of traffic sign P, as shown in FIGS. 1-2. The bolts 4 are identical with each other and each carries two nuts 5 with associated washers 6.

The semi-clamping part 1 comprises a 180 ° arc portion 11 extending at each end to the L-foot 12 (Fig. 4). Generally, on the inner surface of the arc section 11, which is generally smooth, there are two locations, optionally at 45 ° angles to one side and the other, of the object symmetry arranged to a family of line ribs 13 running along the mantle factories of the surface concerned. The ribs 13 in conjunction with the surface of the bar D are predicted to increase the holding force. The L-foot 12 has a hole 14 for receiving the screw 4. The rigidity of part 1 is substantially sufficient to maintain the shape of the part 1 in its installed state.

The base strip 2, 3 is basically a square C-profile with the dominant dimension of the web 21 (Fig. 5). Lanes 22, 23 are different in the present case, which is not necessary. It is essential for the invention that in the area of one of the lanes 22, 23, optionally in the area of the lane 22, the web 21 is thickened 24, and in the area of the other, in the case in the zone of the lane 23, provided with ribs 25. comprises two length sections a, b measured along the height dimension of the web 21: a section a whose surface is substantially parallel to the web 21, and a section b whose surface along the height of the web 21, beginning at section a, is approximately in line with the web 21. The thickening 24 and the ribs 25 are thus mutually harmonized so that the relative height c of the thickening 24 with respect to the ribs 25, measured perpendicular to the web 21, corresponds to half the thickness zav of the T-tab (Fig. 2). The width of the widest of the two lanes 22, 23, in this case the width of the lanes 23, may not be greater than the available luminance of the profile from which the bandage B of the traffic sign P is made (Fig. 1), but may be smaller. In the drawn example, lane 23 is wider than lane 22.

According to the invention, it is contemplated that the base strip 2, when fitted with both of its belts 22, 23, bears on the surface of the bar D. That the web 21 of the bar 2 then extends parallel to the bar D, which is preferable, the bar 23 is adaptively cut 26 (FIG. 4) so that the cutout 26 fits into the bar D. This ensures the positional stability of the inventive mounting on the bar D. In the simpler case, when the requirement for the positional stability of the attachment is not exposed, the width of the lane 23 is equal to the width of the lane 22, and therefore the manufacture of the cutout 26 wastes.

It is understood that in lane 23 of the second of the two laths 2, 3, ie the base lath 3, a cutout 26 is not required.

In a given configuration of the stand 21, the profile of the lath 2, 3 may also be so designed that the lanes 22, 23 are interchanged.

In the web 21, a hole 27 (Fig. 3) is arranged in the middle between the belts 22, 23 for the screw 4. In the present embodiment, the hole 27 is quadrilateral and adapted to the respective cross-section of the stem of the screw 4, so that the screw 4 is tightened by the nuts 5 protected against rotation.

The sequence of working steps for mounting the sign P, reinforced by the bandage frame B, on the standing pole D is as follows: Take two screws of already-fastened base strips 2, 3 and attach it to the tab T of the bandage B, so that either the screws 4 and their stem on the free edge of the tab T or the lane 23 of lath 3 hits the lane of bandage B, and then tighten the first nut 5. In this case laths 2, 3 are pressed together by their sections a, with ribs 25 each on one side of the tab T. then (if necessary) turn over and repeat the process with the second pair of washers 2, 3. Then, with the pre-assembled assemblies, push the sign P to the predetermined pole and to the latter on the other side, press the half-clamping parts 1 so that the screws 4 enter the holes 14. While the worker is affixing the sign P to the mast D with one hand, he can put the other washer 6 in each case on the screws 4, which are then positionally rigid and the semi-clamping parts 1 are invisibly visible to them. o the other nut 5 and tighten them. This completes the erection of the mark P on the mast D.

Not only is the object of the invention thereby attained; the proposed construction also allows for a complete transition to stainless materials and to uniform manufacturing processes. Thus, according to the invention, bandage B and washers 2, 3 are preferably made of the same material. We tested Al Mg Si 0.5 F 22, which worked great.

The proposed attachment is useful for receiving straight as well as curved sections of tab T. For this purpose, each end of the respective base strip 2, 3 is obliquely trimmed (therefore, in the drawings of FIGS. 2 and 4, the upper lane 22 is longer than the lower lane 23).

Since the novelty, inventiveness and industrial applicability of the invention attachment in the foregoing description are uniquely identifiable, we request protection thereof to the extent set forth in the appended claims.
