DISPOSITIVO DE PROTECCIÓN DE MOTOCICLISTAS MOTORCYCLE PROTECTION DEVICE
DESCRIPCIÓNDESCRIPTION
La presente invención hace referencia a un dispositivo de protección de motociclistas para vias de tráfico rodado.The present invention refers to a motorcyclist protection device for road traffic.
Para aumentar la protección de los usuarios las vias para tráfico rodado o carreteras pueden requerir la instalación, en localizaciones particulares, de barreras de seguridad o pretiles. Estos sistemas han sido tradicionalmente dirigidos a la contención de los vehículos a cuatro ruedas, sin tener en cuenta a los usuarios más vulnerables, como es el caso de los motociclistas.To increase user protection, roads for road traffic or roads may require the installation, at particular locations, of safety barriers or railings. These systems have been traditionally aimed at containing four-wheelers, without taking into account the most vulnerable users, such as motorcyclists.
En efecto, dichos pretiles están formados habitualmente por una pantalla vertical con forma de bionda, que discurre paralela al borde de la via para tráfico rodado, que queda levantada o separada del suelo a través de una pluralidad de postes verticales. Estos pretiles son útiles para evitar la salida de los coches y, por ejemplo, su calda por precipicios. Sin embargo, constituyen asimismo un peligro para los motociclistas por cuanto los postes de sujeción son un peligro que les pueden provocar graves heridas por impacto, en especial contra los postes. Para poder mejorar la seguridad de los motociclistas ante el impacto contra estos sistemas resulta necesario, en determinados tramos, la instalación se sistemas de protección de motociclistas para poder reducir las consecuencias del impacto del cuerpo del motorista contra la barrera de seguridad o pretil.In fact, said screens are usually formed by a vertical screen in the shape of a bionda, which runs parallel to the edge of the road for road traffic, which is lifted or separated from the ground through a plurality of vertical posts. These pretils are useful to avoid the exit of the cars and, for example, their calda by precipices. However, they also constitute a danger to motorcyclists because the holding posts are a danger that can cause serious impact injuries, especially against the posts. In order to improve the safety of motorcyclists when faced with the impact against these systems, it is necessary, in certain sections, to install motorcyclist protection systems in order to reduce the consequences of the impact of the motorcyclist's body against the safety barrier or parapet.
Resulta conocida la colocación de almohadas de absorción de impacto alrededor de los postes de sujeción del pretil de cara a evitar cortes de extremidades producidos por el impacto de un motociclista con un poste. Sin embargo, estos sistemas no evitan que los motociclistas sufran lesiones internas por el choque con los postes, o incluso que estos deslicen por debajo de la bionda y caigan por un precipicio con resultados nefastos.It is known to place pillows of Impact absorption around the fastening posts of the parapet to avoid limb cuts caused by the impact of a motorcyclist with a pole. However, these systems do not prevent motorcyclists from suffering internal injuries from collision with the posts, or even that they slide below the bionde and fall down a precipice with dire results.
Es un objetivo de la presente invención dar a conocer un sistema de protección para motociclistas que evita los inconvenientes anteriormente citados y que es de fácil aplicación tanto a pretiles de nueva instalación como aquellos que ya han sido instalados.It is an objective of the present invention to provide a protection system for motorcyclists that avoids the aforementioned inconveniences and that is easy to apply both to new installation screens and those that have already been installed.
Para ello la presente invención da a conocer un dispositivo de protección de motociclistas para pretiles de protección en vias para tráfico rodado, del tipo de pretil constituido por una pantalla vertical separada del suelo a través de una pluralidad de postes verticales, que se caracteriza porque comprende una pantalla de absorción de choques, preferentemente plana, unida a los citados postes verticales a través de unos elementos de unión, ocupando la citada pantalla de absorción al menos parcialmente el espacio existente entre el suelo y la citada pantalla vertical del pretil.For this purpose, the present invention discloses a motorcyclist protection device for protective railings on roadways, of the type of parapet constituted by a vertical screen separated from the ground through a plurality of vertical posts, characterized in that it comprises a shock absorbing screen, preferably flat, joined to said vertical posts through connecting elements, said absorption screen occupying at least partially the space between the ground and said vertical screen of the parapet.
De esta manera, se consigue un método sencillo y fácilmente aplicable a pretiles ya instalados que impide el golpe directo con el poste de sujeción del pretil, asi como el deslizamiento del motociclista por el espacio existente entre la bionda y el suelo.In this way, a simple and easily applicable method to pre-installed prets is achieved that prevents the direct hit with the post of the parapet, as well as the motorcyclist's sliding through the space between the bionda and the ground.
Preferentemente, la pantalla de absorción de choques quedará unida al poste vertical a través de un elemento con capacidad de deformación elástica. Esto permitirá disminuir los efectos del choque del motociclista contra la pantalla de absorción de choques del dispositivo objeto de la presente invención disminuyendo la fuerza de rebote del motociclista tras el choque con la pantalla de absorción de choques, asi como permitiendo un redireccionamiento de la trayectoria del motociclista accidentado. Preferentemente, los elementos de unión podrán comprender, al objeto de tener una capacidad de deformación elástica, al menos un tirante en forma de V, estando dicho tirante unido a la pantalla de absorción de impactos por sus extremos y a un poste vertical por su parte central. Esta disposición permite una mayor absorción del impacto, y evita el toque directo con los postes de sujeción del pretil o con elementos rígidamente unidos a éstos.Preferably, the shock absorbing screen will be attached to the vertical post through a element with elastic deformation capacity. This will reduce the effects of the motorcyclist crash against the shock absorption screen of the device object of the present invention by decreasing the rebound force of the motorcyclist after the crash with the shock absorption screen, as well as allowing a redirection of the trajectory of the rugged motorcyclist. Preferably, the connecting elements may comprise, in order to have an elastic deformability, at least one V-shaped brace, said brace being connected to the impact absorption screen at its ends and to a vertical pole at its central part . This arrangement allows greater impact absorption, and avoids direct contact with the fastening posts of the parapet or with elements rigidly attached to them.
Preferentemente, el tirante estará unido al poste vertical a través de dos piezas con forma de U situadas a ambos lados del poste que estarán unidas a una placa agujereada que se situará en la cara del poste opuesta a aquella a la que se sitúa el punto de unión del tirante con el poste vertical. Esta disposición proporciona un medio de fácil instalación del dispositivo de protección en pretiles ya existentes.Preferably, the tie rod will be attached to the vertical post through two U-shaped pieces located on both sides of the post that will be attached to a perforated plate that will be located on the face of the post opposite to that to which the point of connection of the strap with the vertical post. This arrangement provides a means of easy installation of the protection device in existing prets.
