Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zur wahlweisen Begrenzung einer Fahrspur.The invention relates to a device for optionally limiting a lane.

Bei auf Fahrbahnen durchzuführenden Bauarbeiten ist es oft notwendig, die Fahrbahn zu verengen bzw. zu verlegen. Beispielsweise kann es notwendig sein, eine Fahrspur einer Autobahnfahrbahn auf die Gegenfahrbahn zu verlegen. Zur Absicherung der verlegten Fahrspur werden Fahrspurbegrenzer an den Rändern der Fahrspur bzw. in der Mitte zwischen benachbarten Fahrbahnen als Fahrbahnteiler angeordnet, die aus einer Bodenplatte und einer von der Bodenplatte emporragenden Gummifahne oder Kunststoffahne bestehen. Diese Fahrspurbegrenzer werden auf die Fahrbahnoberfläche aufgeklebt oder mittels Nägel, Schrauben oder Bolzen befestigt. Da die Fahne mit der Bodenplatte fest verankert ist, läßt sich die Fahne von der Fahrbahn nur gemeinsam mit der Bodenplatte entfernen.When carrying out construction work on roadways, it is often necessary to narrow or relocate the roadway. For example, it may be necessary to move a lane of a freeway lane to the opposite lane. To secure the laid lane, lane delimiters are arranged at the edges of the lane or in the middle between adjacent lanes as lane dividers, which consist of a base plate and a rubber flag or plastic flag that protrudes from the base plate. These lane markers are glued to the road surface or fastened using nails, screws or bolts. Since the flag is firmly anchored to the base plate, the flag can only be removed from the roadway together with the base plate.

Will man eine auf diese Art und Weise mit Fahrspurbegrenzern abgesicherte Fahrspur abermals verlegen, beispielsweise zur Richtungsänderung, ist es notwendig, die Fahrspurbegrenzer zu entfernen und an der neu gewünschten Fahrspurgrenze wiederum zu befestigen. Da dieser Vorgang einige Zeit benötigt (auf die Bodenplatte muß nach deren Lösen von der Fahrbahn Kleber frisch aufgetragen werden und antrocknen gelassen bzw. müssen neue Bolzenlöcher in die Fahrbahn gebohrt werden), ist die Verlegung einer Fahrspur kurzfristig oft nicht möglich.If you want to relocate a lane secured in this way with lane delimiters, for example to change the direction, it is necessary to remove the lane delimiter and fix it again at the newly desired lane boundary. Since this process takes some time (after removing it from the roadway, glue must be freshly applied and left to dry, or new bolt holes must be drilled in the roadway), it is often not possible to lay a lane at short notice.

Insbesondere stellt sich das Problem bei Teilung einer Autobahnrichtungsfahrbahn in drei Fahrspuren, von denen zwei in eine Richtung, z.B. stadtauswärts, und eine in die entgegengesetzte Richtung führen, wenn man zum Zweck der Erleichterung des stadteinwärts fließenden Rückflutverkehrs eine der beiden stadtauswärts führenden Fahrspuren in die entgegengesetzte Richtung umkehren will. In diesem Fall müssen vor Einsetzen des Rückflutverkehrs in einer sehr kurzen Zeitspanne die zwischen den in unterschiedliche Richtungen führenden Fahrspuren angeordneten Fahrspurbegrenzer um eine Fahrspur versetzt werden.In particular, the problem arises when dividing a freeway directional lane into three lanes, two of which lead in one direction, for example out of town, and one in the opposite direction, if one is for the purpose of facilitating the flowing into the town Return traffic wants to reverse one of the two lanes leading out of the city in the opposite direction. In this case, the lane delimiters arranged between the lanes leading in different directions must be offset by one lane in a very short period of time before the return flow traffic begins.

Die Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe, eine Einrichtung zu schaffen, die es ermöglicht, in einer kurzen Zeitspanne und ohne großen Material- und Kostenaufwand Fahrspuren zu verlegen.The invention has for its object to provide a device that makes it possible to move lanes in a short period of time and without great material and cost.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Mehrzahl von Markierungs-Sätzen gelöst, die jeweils aus mindestens zwei auf der Fahrbahnoberfläche befestigten, z.B. aufgeklebten Bodenplatten und einer in eine Ausnehmung einer der Bodenplatten einsetzbaren bzw. entfernbaren Fahne gebildet sind, wobei die Fahne jeweils von oben oder von der Seite her in die Ausnehmung einer Bodenplatte einsetzbar ist und eine Verbindungseinrichtung zum leichten und schnellen Lösen der Fahne von der Bodenplatte vorgesehen ist und wobei die Markierungs-Sätze derart an benachbarten Fahrbahnen angeordnet sind, daß mindestens eine Reihe von Bodenplatten ohne Fahnen jeweils entlang einer Fahrspur und eine Reihe von mit Fahnen ausgestatteten Bodenplatten entlang einer weiteren benachbarten Fahrspur vorgesehen ist.This object is achieved according to the invention by a plurality of marking sets, each of which is attached to the road surface from at least two, e.g. glued-on base plates and a flag which can be inserted or removed in a recess of one of the base plates, the flag being insertable into the recess of a base plate from above or from the side, and a connecting device for easily and quickly detaching the flag from the base plate and the marker sets are arranged on adjacent lanes in such a way that at least one row of floor plates without flags is provided in each case along one lane and a row of floor plates equipped with flags is provided along another adjacent lane.

Erfindungsgemäß kann man zwecks Änderung einer Fahrspur die Fahne schnell aus der Bodenplatte entfernen, wobei keinerlei Manipulationen, insbesondere keine Manipulationen mit einem Werkzeug erforderlich sind, und ebenso schnell und wiederum ohne die Notwendigkeit von zeitaufwendigen Manipulationen in eine bereits auf der Fahrbahn an der gewünschten Stelle befestigte Bodenplatte einsetzen, wodurch nur eine kurze Zeitspanne zum Versetzen einer Fahrspur notwendig ist, so daß auch ein Versetzen einer sich über mehrere Kilometer erstreckenden Fahrspur ohne wesentliche Verkehrsbehinderung möglich ist.According to the invention, for the purpose of changing a lane, the flag can be quickly removed from the base plate, with no manipulations, in particular no manipulations with a tool being required, and just as quickly and again without the need for time-consuming manipulations in an already fastened on the road at the desired location Base plate use, whereby only a short period of time is necessary to move a lane, so that it is also possible to move a lane extending over several kilometers without significant traffic obstruction.

Aus der DE-A - 25 22 935 und der DE-A - 30 33 660 sind Straßenmarkierungsnägel mit an Bodenplatten lösbar montierten, Reflektorteile tragenden und von den Bodenplatten emporragenden Markierungsfahnen bekannt. Die Markierungsfahnen sind hierbei nachträglich an den bereits auf der Fahrbahn befestigten Bodenplatten befestigbar und von diesen lösbar, jedoch sind die Verbindungsmittel zwischen Markierungsfahnen und Bodenplatten kompliziert gestaltet und können nur mittels eines Werkzeuges oder umständlicher Manipulationen betätigt werden.From DE-A - 25 22 935 and DE-A - 30 33 660 road marking nails are known with marking flags detachably mounted on base plates, bearing reflector parts and rising from the base plates. The flags can be subsequently attached to and detached from the floor slabs already fastened to the roadway, but the connecting means between the flags and floor slabs are complicated and can only be actuated using a tool or laborious manipulations.

Aus der EP-A2 - 0 134 607 ist eine Leiteinrichtung zur Baustellensicherung mit einer Ständerplatte bekannt, in die ein Ständerprofil eingesetzt ist, wobei das Ständerprofil mittels mechanischer Mittel formschlüssig in einer Ausnehmung der Ständerplatte verspannbar ist. Auch hierbei ist ein Lösen des Ständerprofiles von der Ständerplatte mit zeitraubenden Manipulationen verbunden.From EP-A2 - 0 134 607 a guiding device for securing the construction site with a stand plate is known, into which a stand profile is inserted, the stand profile being able to be positively clamped in a recess of the stand plate by means of mechanical means. Here, too, detaching the stand profile from the stand plate is associated with time-consuming manipulations.

Aus der EP-A1 - 0 125 817 ist eine Einrichtung zum Verlegen eines Spurteilers bekannt, wobei der Spurteiler aus in Form einer Gliederkette aneinander angelenkten, auf der Fahrbahnoberfläche aufliegenden, erhabenen Teilen gebildet ist. Diese Teile können mittels einer bogenförmig gestalteten Aufnahme von einer Seite einer Fahrbahn auf die andere Seite der Fahrbahn verlegt werden. Nachteilig ist hierbei, daß ein einfaches Verlegen des Fahrbahnteilers nur dann möglich ist, wenn dieser mit der Fahrbahn nicht verbunden ist, d.h. lose auf der Fahrbahn aufliegt. Im Falle des Verklebens müssen die Teile erst von der Fahrbahn gelöst und nach Verbringen in die neue Position wiederum mit der Fahrbahn verklebt werden, was umständlich und mit Wartezeiten verbunden ist.From EP-A1-0 125 817 a device for laying a track divider is known, the track divider being formed from raised parts which are articulated in the form of a link chain and rest on the road surface. These parts can be moved from one side of a carriageway to the other side of the carriageway by means of an arch-shaped receptacle. The disadvantage here is that a simple laying of the road divider is only possible if it is not connected to the roadway, ie it lies loosely on the roadway. In the case of gluing, the parts must first be removed from the road and after being moved to the new one Position in turn to be glued to the road, which is cumbersome and associated with waiting times.

Aus der GB-A - 1,560,288 ist ein Straßenmarkierungsnagel bekannt, der in eine an der Fahrbahn vorgesehene Bohrung einsetzbar ist und gegenüber dieser durch ein dübbelartiges Verbindungsmittel fixierbar ist. Auf den Markierungsnagel ist eine Hülse aufsetzbar, die jedoch als Fahrbahnteiler nicht verwendbar ist, da sie nicht überfahrbar ist.A road marking nail is known from GB-A-1,560,288, which can be inserted into a bore provided on the roadway and can be fixed relative to it by a dowel-like connecting means. A sleeve can be placed on the marking nail, but it cannot be used as a road divider since it cannot be driven over.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß Verbindungseinrichtung als sich von mindestens einer Seite der Bodenplatte quer in die Bodenplatte hineinerstreckende, nach oben offene Nut und als am unteren Ende der Fahne korrespondierend zur Nut vorgesehener Fortsatz ausgebildet ist.A preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the connecting device is designed as a groove which extends transversely into the base plate from at least one side of the base plate and is open at the top and as an extension provided at the lower end of the flag corresponding to the groove.

Zwecks einfacher Manipulation ist vorteilhaft jede Fahne mit mindestens einer als Griffloch dienenden Ausnehmung versehen.For the purpose of simple manipulation, each flag is advantageously provided with at least one recess serving as a grip hole.

Zum schnellen Ein- und Ausbau einer Fahne ist zweckmäßig zwischen der Nut der Bodenplatte und dem Fortsatz der Fahne eine Schnapp-Sicherung vorgesehen, die von einer sich quer zur Nut bzw. zur Fahne erstreckenden Erhebung an einem dieser Teile und einer korrespondierenden Einbuchtung am Gegenstück gebildet ist.For the quick installation and removal of a flag, a snap-lock is expediently provided between the groove of the base plate and the extension of the flag, which is formed by an elevation extending transversely to the groove or the flag on one of these parts and a corresponding indentation on the counterpart is.

Aus der FR-A - 1.150.240 ist ein Fahrspurbegrenzer mit einem in die Fahrbahn einsetzbaren Stein bekannt, der eine zur Seite hin offene schwalbenschwanzförmige Nut aufweist, in die eine Fahne von der Seite her einschiebbar ist. Da der Stein, um überrollt werden zu können, so weit in die Fahrbahn versenkt werden muß, bis die Nut mit ihrer Seitenöffnung unterhalb der Fahrbahnoberfläche liegt, ist es erforderlich, zum Ein- bzw. Ausbau der Fahne den Stein aus der Fahrbahn herauszuheben, wodurch er für eine wahlweise Begrenzung einer Fahrspur ungeeignet ist.From FR-A-1.150.240 a lane delimiter with a stone that can be inserted into the roadway is known, which has a dovetail-shaped groove that is open to the side and into which a flag can be inserted from the side. Since the stone, in order to be able to be rolled over, must be sunk into the carriageway until the groove with its side opening lies below the carriageway surface it is necessary to lift the stone out of the road to install or remove the flag, making it unsuitable for optionally delimiting a lane.

Die Erfindung ist nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert, wobei Fig. 1 eine Frontansicht eines Fahrspurbegrenzers und Fig. 2 eine Seitenansicht desselben in Richtung des Pfeiles II der Fig. 1 zeigen. Die Fig. 3 und 4 veranschaulichen jeweils einen Autobahnabschnitt mit Gegenverkehrsbereich bei einer Baustelle, wobei Fig. 3 den Gegenverkehrsbereich mit zwei Spuren in die eine erste Richtung und einer Fahrspur in die entgegengesetzte Richtung und Fig. 4 nur eine Fahrspur in die erste Richtung und zwei Fahrspuren in die entgegengesetzte Richtung zeigen.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, in which Fig. 1 shows a front view of a lane limiter and Fig. 2 shows a side view of the same in the direction of arrow II of Fig. 1. 3 and 4 each illustrate a highway section with oncoming traffic area at a construction site, with FIG. 3 the oncoming traffic area with two lanes in one first direction and one lane in the opposite direction, and FIG. 4 only one lane in the first direction and two Show lanes in the opposite direction.

Die in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellte Ausführungsform eines Fahrspurbegrenzers weist eine von oben gesehen rechteckige Bodenplatte 1 auf, die als niedriger Pyramidenstumpf ausgebildet ist. Die Unterseite 2 der Bodenplatte ist mit einem Gitterrücken 3 versehen, der die Haftung eines Klebers, mit dem die Bodenplatte auf einer Fahrbahn aufgeklebt werden kann, vergrößert. In den schrägen Seitenflächen 4 der Bodenplatte können Rückstrahler 5 eingegossen sein. Die Bodenplatte 1 ist vorzugsweise aus Gummi oder Kunststoff gefertigt.The embodiment of a lane limiter shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a rectangular base plate 1, seen from above, which is designed as a low truncated pyramid. The underside 2 of the base plate is provided with a mesh back 3, which increases the adhesion of an adhesive with which the base plate can be glued to a roadway. Reflectors 5 can be cast into the sloping side surfaces 4 of the base plate. The base plate 1 is preferably made of rubber or plastic.

In eine Ausnehmung 6 der Bodenplatte 1 ist eine Fahne 7, die vorzugsweise aus Gummi oder Kunststoff gefertigt ist, eingesetzt. Zur Halterung der Fahne 7 in der Bodenplatte 1 dient eine Verbindungseinrichtung, die in der Bodenplatte 1 als T-förmige oder schwalbenschwanzförmige, nach oben offene Nut ausgebildet ist. Die Nut 8 ist zumindest nach einer schrägen Seitenfläche 4 der Bodenplatte hin offen und erstreckt sich parallel zur Längsseite der Bodenplatte 1 quer durch deren Oberseite 9, so daß die Fahne 7 in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles 10 in die Bodenplatte 1 von der Seite her eingeschoben bzw. in der entgegengesetzten Richtung aus der Bodenplatte 1 entfernt werden kann, ohne daß die Bodenplatte von der Fahrbahn entfernt werden muß. Zur Verbindungseinrichtung gehört weiters ein am unteren Ende der Fahne 7 angeordneter T-förmiger oder schwalbenschwanzförmiger Fortsatz 11, dessen Querschnitt korrespondierend zum Querschnitt der Nut 8 ausgebildet ist. Die Fahne 7 kann ebenfalls mit rückstrahlenden Einrichtungen 12, beispielsweise mit einer rückstrahlenden Folie, versehen sein.In a recess 6 of the base plate 1, a flag 7, which is preferably made of rubber or plastic, is used. To hold the flag 7 in the base plate 1 is a connecting device which is formed in the base plate 1 as a T-shaped or dovetail-shaped groove which is open at the top. The groove 8 is open at least towards an inclined side surface 4 of the base plate and extends parallel to the long side of the base plate 1 across its top 9, so that the flag 7 in The direction of the double arrow 10 can be inserted into the base plate 1 from the side or removed in the opposite direction from the base plate 1 without the base plate having to be removed from the road. The connecting device also includes a T-shaped or dovetail-shaped extension 11 arranged at the lower end of the lug 7, the cross section of which is designed to correspond to the cross section of the groove 8. The flag 7 can also be provided with retroreflective devices 12, for example with a retroreflective sheeting.

In den Fig. 3 und 4 ist das Umstecken der Fahnen auf einer Autobahnfahrbahn 19 mit Gegenverkehr dargestellt. Eine der Fahrbahnen ist z.B. durch eine Baustelle 20 für längere Zeit blockiert. Je nach Verkehrsaufkommen soll die Gegenfahrbahn 19 zwei Fahrspuren 21, 22 stadtauswärts und eine 23 stadteinwärts oder eine Fahrspur 21 stadtauswärts und zwei Fahrspuren 22', 23 stadteinwärts aufweisen. Zu diesem Zweck sind an den beiden Rändern 24 der mittleren Fahrspur 22 Bodenplatten 1 der erfindungsgemäßen Fahrspurbegrenzer befestigt, beispielsweise aufgeklebt.3 and 4 the repositioning of the flags on a freeway 19 with oncoming traffic is shown. One of the lanes is e.g. blocked by a construction site 20 for a long time. Depending on the volume of traffic, the oncoming lane 19 should have two lanes 21, 22 out of town and one 23 in town or one lane 21 out of town and two lanes 22 ', 23 in town. For this purpose, base plates 1 of the lane delimiters according to the invention are fastened, for example glued, to the two edges 24 of the middle lane 22.

Gemäß Fig. 3 ist die stadteinwärts führende Fahrspur 23 zu den stadtauswärts führenden Fahrspuren 21, 22 durch jeweils in die Bodenplatten 1 eingesetzte Fahnen 7 deutlich sichtbar abgegrenzt. Zwischen den beiden benachbarten stadtauswärts führenden Fahrspuren sind lediglich Bodenplatten 1 ohne Fahnen befestigt, welche Bodenplatten 1 als Markiernägel dienen, die zum Zweck des Überholens überfahren werden dürfen.3, the lane 23 leading into the city is clearly delimited from the lanes 21, 22 leading out of the city by flags 7 inserted into the base plates 1. Between the two adjacent lanes leading out of the city, only base plates 1 without flags are fastened, which base plates 1 serve as marking nails which may be run over for the purpose of overtaking.

Sollen beispielsweise zur Aufnahme des in die Stadt rückflutenden Verkehrs zwei Fahrspuren 22', 23 stadteinwärts zur Verfügung gestellt werden, werden die zwischen den Fahrspuren 22 und 23 angeordneten Fahnen 7 aus den Bodenplatten 1 entfernt, wobei die Bodenplatten 1 auf der Fahrbahn 19 verbleiben, und in die zwischen den benachbarten Fahrspuren 21, 22 angeordneten Bodenplatten eingesetzt. Dieser Vorgang kann, da die Bodenplatten 1 an Ort und Stelle verbleiben, schnell und einfach durchgeführt werden, beispielsweise von einem Auto aus, das die mittlere Fahrspur 22 (bzw. 22') entlangfährt. Auf diese Art und Weise ist es möglich, in kürzester Zeit einen Fahrspurwechsel über lange Fahrbahnstrecken vorzunehmen.If, for example, two lanes 22 ', 23 are to be made available in the city to accommodate the traffic flowing back into the city, the flags 7 arranged between the lanes 22 and 23 are used removed from the base plates 1, the base plates 1 remaining on the road 19, and inserted into the base plates arranged between the adjacent lanes 21, 22. Since the base plates 1 remain in place, this process can be carried out quickly and easily, for example from a car which travels along the middle lane 22 (or 22 '). In this way it is possible to change lanes over long lanes in the shortest possible time.

Zum einfachen Manipulieren der Fahnen 7 weisen diese jeweils mindestens eine die Fahne durchsetzende Ausnehmung 25, die als Griffloch dient, auf. Zur Lagesicherung der Fahne 7 in der Bodenplatte 1 ist im Boden der Nut 8 eine sich quer zur Nut erstreckende Erhebung 26 angeformt, die mit einer am Fortsatz 11 der Fahne 7 vorgesehenen, zur Erhebung 26 korrespondierenden Einbuchtung 27 zusammenwirkt und gemeinsam mit dieser eine durch Verschieben der Fahne 7 gegenüber der Bodenplatte 1 leicht lösbare Schnapp-Sicherung der Fahne gegenüber der Bodenplatte bildet.For easy manipulation of the flags 7, these each have at least one recess 25 which penetrates the flag and serves as a grip hole. To secure the position of the flag 7 in the base plate 1, an elevation 26 extending transversely to the groove is formed in the bottom of the groove 8, which interacts with an indentation 27 provided on the extension 11 of the flag 7 and corresponding to the elevation 26 and together with this one by displacement the flag 7 with respect to the base plate 1 forms an easily releasable snap securing of the flag with respect to the base plate.
