Description

A DELIMITING BARRIER OF INFRASTRUCTURAL ZONES FROM A SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the technical sector of delimiting barriers of infrastructural zones from the surrounding environment for delimiting communication carriageways such as for example motorways or railways.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
A delimiting barrier for infrastructural zones from the surrounding environment for delimiting communication carriageways is known from document DE 41 26 239. It comprises a plurality of plates, comprising a first plate and a second plate, which are distributed along an extension direction of the barrier and which are supported by corresponding support means, in the form of uprights which prolong perpendicularly in height. The first plate and the second plate are fixed to a respective upright by connecting means and have respective end lateral portions reciprocally superposed in a transversal direction to the extension direction of the barrier.
The connecting means, in turn, comprise an L-shaped first blocking element and a second L-shaped blocking element, transversally facing the first blocking element, for blocking the end lateral portions of the first plate and the second plate to one another. Further, the connecting means comprise a screw for blocking the first blocking element and the second blocking element to the upright.
With the aim of fixing the first plate and the second plate, in the known barrier the first plate, the second plate, the first blocking element and the second blocking element each comprise a through-hole: by inserting the screw in the through-holes the first blocking element, the first plate, the second plate and the second blocking element will be fastened to the upright.
With the aim of ensuring a correct distribution of the tensions on the first plate and the second plate to an adequate blocking pressure it is important for the first blocking element and the second blocking element to have a certain abutment surface against the first plate and the second plate.
Given the conformation of the first blocking element and the second blocking element of the barrier, the only solution for effectively increasing the abutment surface is to increase the overlapping surface between the first plate and the second plate.
However, this implicates an increase in costs (given a same final length of the barrier more plates will be needed) and a less attractive appearance of the barrier, especially in the case of transparent or translucent plates.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In the light of the above, the aim of the present invention consists in providing a delimiting barrier for infrastructural zones from the surrounding environment for delimiting communication carriageways which obviates the above- mentioned drawbacks.
The above aims are obtained by three different embodiments of a barrier according, respectively to claims 1 , 5 and 7.
With the use of a single profiled plate element having an S-shaped transversal section, the barrier of claim 1 increases the abutment surface of the connecting means against the plates due to the presence of the interposed portion between the first plate and the second plate. Therefore the barrier of the invention does not require an increase in the overlap between the first plate and the second plate with the aim of increasing the abutment surface of the connecting means to distribute the tensions better.
A further advantage of the above-described embodiment of the barrier is that it can include fixing means that are not visible to a person moving along the communication carriageway along which the barrier is arranged. This advantageously enables obtaining a barrier having considerable aesthetic appeal and wherein the fixing means, not being directly reachable from the communication carriageway along which the barrier is arranged, also function as an anti-theft device.
The barrier of claim 5, owing to the use of the first shim element and the second shim element, enables conforming the first blocking element and the second blocking element as simple flat plates, and increasing the abutment surface of the first blocking element and second blocking element without increasing the overlap between the first plate and the second plate.
The barrier of claim 7, owing to the use of blocking elements conformed so as to contact both the first plate and the second plate, enables increasing the abutment surface of the first blocking element and the second blocking element effectively without increasing the overlap between the first plate and the second plate.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
With reference to the tables of drawings, reference numeral (1) denotes a delimiting barrier for infrastructural zones from the surrounding environment for delimiting communication carriageways object of the present invention.
With reference to figures 14A-19, a first preferred embodiment of the barrier (1) of the invention is described.
In accordance with the first embodiment, the barrier (1) comprises a plurality of plates, comprising a first plate (2) and a second plate (3), which are distributed along an extension direction (X) of the barrier (1) and which are supported by corresponding support means (4), in a form of uprights (4) which are prolonged perpendicularly in height, which first plate (2) and second plate (3) are fixed to a respective upright (40) by connecting means (5).
The first plate (2) and the second plate (3) have respective end lateral portions (2a, 3a) reciprocally superposed in a transversal direction (Y) to the extension direction (X) of the barrier (1);
The connecting means (5) comprise: receiving means (50) of the end lateral portion (2a, 3a) of the first plate (2) and the second plate (3) in a form of a single profiled plate element (51) having an S-shaped transversal section which enables defining a first receiving seating (52) and a second receiving seating (53), transversally distanced from one another, for receiving respectively the end lateral portion (2a, 3a) of the first plate (2) and the second plate (3); fixing means (54) for fixing the receiving means (50) to the upright (40).
The above-mentioned barrier (1) not only increases the abutment surface of the connecting means (5) against the first plate (2) and the second plate (3) because of the particular conformation of the receiving means (50), but also reduces production costs: the receiving means (50), being in a single body, enable a reduction in production costs.
In particular, the support means (4) in the form of uprights (4) are arranged perpendicularly with respect to the extension direction of the barrier (1). The uprights (4), however, can be perpendicular or inclined with respect to the ground.
Further, the fact that the single profiled plate element (51 ) defines the first receiving seating (52) and the second receiving seating (53) enables a simplification and an increase in rapidity of mounting a barrier (1), further reducing costs.
The profiled plate element (51) is preferably defined by: a first end portion (60), frontal and longitudinally extended, which engages the front face of the first plate (2); a second end portion (61), rear and longitudinally extended, which is opposite the first end portion (60) and which engages the rear face of the second plate (3); an intermediate longitudinal portion (62) which engages the opposing faces of the first plate (2) and the second plate (3); a first transversal connecting portion (63) between the first end portion (60) and the intermediate portion (62) which defines the bottom of the first receiving seating (52); a second transversal connecting portion (64) between the second end portion (61) and the intermediate portion (62) which defines the bottom of the second receiving seating (53).
The fixing means (54) of the receiving means (50) to the upright (40) can comprise stem means (55). In particular, with reference to figure 17, the stem means (55) comprise a first stem element (55a) and a second stem element (55b). For example, the fixing mean (54) can be a bolt and screw system.
The stem means (55) can be fixed to the second end portion (61 ) of the profiled plate element (51) and the upright (40). With the aim of fixing the first plate (2) and the second plate (3) to the upright (40), it is advantageously not necessary to include holes or recesses or grooves in the first plate (2) and the second plate (3). In the above-described embodiment, the fixing means (54) of the barrier (1) are not visible to a person moving along the communication carriageway along which the barrier (1) is arranged. This advantageously enables obtaining a barrier (1) having considerable aesthetic appeal. Further, as the fixing- means (54) are not reachable from the communication carriageway along which the barrier (1) is arranged, the fixing means (54) also function as an anti-theft device.
