Definitions
- the present invention relates to a modular and scalable barrier to define a protection zone and in particular to protect public works sites or the like, comprising a series of vertical frames each provided with at least two feet and connected to each other at their ends by means of articulation.
- Barriers of this kind are known which are made of self-stable metal frames by means of four feet and which are generally called "Vauban barriers".
- One end of the frame has two superimposed horizontal tabs, pierced with an oblong hole, while the other end has two hooks provided with lateral studs to fix on the legs of the neighboring frame by forming a bayonet type assembly which constitutes a vertical axis joint between the two adjacent frames.
- the present invention aims to avoid these drawbacks by providing a modular modular barrier which can be adapted to requirements in a simple and inexpensive manner, and which can be used conveniently on construction sites, in particular from the point of view of its folding for transport. and its adaptation to unevenness.
- the modular barrier according to the invention is characterized in that the articulation means connecting two adjacent frames are removable and include a connecting element comprising two parallel tubular parts rigidly connected together by a longitudinal core and arranged to surround each a vertical cylindrical upright of the corresponding frame so as to be able to pivot around this upright, at least one of the two tubular parts being also sliding along the upright.
- the connecting element may comprise two shells made of stamped sheet metal which are assembled opposite one another to form the tubular parts together.
- these two shells are joined to one another along a vertical plane passing through the axis of each upright and have substantially the same transverse profile, composed of two bowls connected by a flat central part forming the 'soul of the element with the flat central part of the other shell. They can be fixed to each other by removable means.
- one of the tubular parts can be divided into two sections separated by a longitudinal interval for the passage of a crosspiece fixed to the corresponding amount of the frame.
- the connecting element comprises, at its lower end, a lateral arm for support on the ground, this arm extending substantially on one side of the barrier in a vertical plane perpendicular to the plane passing through the two axes of the uprights.
- Said lateral arm can comprise a stamped sheet metal profile arranged horizontally and welded to the lower end of one of said shells and the respective lateral arms of two consecutive connecting elements can be directed towards opposite sides of the barrier.
- the barrier according to the invention comprises, on its two end posts, a pair coupling elements arranged to be coupled to each other, at least one of these elements being sliding along the respective upright, and each of said coupling elements is composed of two pressed sheet shells assembled by removable means and forming a tubular part surrounding the corresponding upright.
- the two shells forming a coupling element can be similar and form a female slide in one of the elements and a male slide in the other.
- the modular barrier shown in Figure 1 has four identical metal frames 1 (numbered 1a to 1d) each comprising a tubular arch provided with an upper bar 2 and two uprights 3 whose lower ends form feet 4, a lower cross member 5 welded to the two uprights, as well as an upper cross member 6 also welded to the uprights. Under the cross member 6 is welded a relatively wide folded sheet to carry reflective fields 7 signaling at night the presence of the barrier, in particular on a road construction site.
- the frames 1 may for example be made of galvanized or lacquered steel, but any other suitable material can be envisaged.
- the frames 1a to 1d are arranged one after the other in the form of an articulated row, each of them being connected to the next frame by a connecting element 10 which surrounds the adjacent uprights 3 of the two frames so as to be able to pivot around each upright, and in particular to rotate 360 ° around one of them.
- the barrier shown comprises three of these elements 10, each provided with a lateral arm 11 for supporting the ground in order to improve the stability of the barrier, in particular when it is deployed in a straight line or almost.
- Each arm 11 has one or more holes 12 allowing it to be fixed by plugs planted in the ground.
- the barrier forms in plan a closed polygon, the two end posts 3a and 3d being assembled in an articulated manner by means of a pair of coupling elements 13 and 14 each mounted on one of these uprights and arranged to be easily coupled and uncoupled.
- the same elements can be used to couple the end of a barrier according to the invention with an end of another similar barrier in order to quickly form a longer barrier, which can be arranged in a polygon either open or closed.
- a combination of barriers having a different number of frames makes it possible to adapt the protection perimeters to the needs, for example, elements of two, three, four or five frames.
- FIG. 2 shows a variant in which the visibility of the barrier in night conditions is further improved by the mounting of a marking sheet 16 provided with a reflecting field 17, welded under the lower cross member 5 of the frame 1a.
- a marking sheet 16 provided with a reflecting field 17, welded under the lower cross member 5 of the frame 1a.
- each frame of the barrier can be equipped with such a sheet which forms a flip-flop and protects the perimeter of stones and other objects rolling on the ground.
- Figures 3 to 6 show in more detail the connecting element 10, which is particularly arranged to be able to be manufactured at low cost, assembled and disassembled easily, and to allow a difference in level between two successive frames while keeping their adjacent uprights 3
- the element 10 essentially consists of two symmetrical shells 21 and 22 made of stamped sheet steel which have, in their upper part, the transverse profile illustrated by FIG. 6, with in each shell two shaped parts bowl 23 connected by a flat central core 24.
- the two shells 21 and 22 are fixed to each other only by assembling their cores 24 one against the other, by means of bolts 25, so that the opposite bowls 23 of the two shells surround the uprights 3 with a slight clearance.
- the outer edges 26 of the shells are free opposite one another, which simplifies manufacturing and assembly, but they could obviously ment be provided with assembly lugs.
- the bowls 23 form a square profile around each upright, but any other profile such as a circular or hexagonal profile can be envisaged in a stamped sheet metal fabrication.
- each shell 21, 22 has only one bowl 23, the core 24 and a sidewall 27 of the second shell, so as to allow one of the uprights 3 to slide freely.
- the other upright 3 is blocked in height by the crossmember 5 of which it is integral, the latter passing with a slight clearance between the two superimposed pairs of bowls 23.
- the foot 4 of one of the frames connected by this element may have a drop H down relative to the foot of the adjacent frame, for example if element 10 is at the edge of a sidewalk.
- Figures 3 and 5 also show the side arm 11 which is also made of stamped sheet metal and which is welded to the shell 21 and reinforced by means of two triangular vertical plates 28. Apart from its anchoring holes 12, this arm may include a passage for the foot 4 of the frame.
- the lateral arm 11 extends only on one side of the element 10, and moreover the respective lateral arms of two consecutive connecting elements are directed towards opposite sides of the barrier, which makes it possible to have all the arms directed inwards when the barrier is folded in accordion to transport it. Thus, the arms do not have any additional bulk compared to the frames.
- the assembly by bolts of the connecting element 10 allows a user to very easily adjust the length of a barrier according to the invention, by adding or removing frames 1.
- each shell of the element 13 has a bowl profile 31 around the upright 3a, a flat core 32 pressing against the core of the opposite part, and a hook profile 33 forming a female slide with the opposite identical profile.
- the element 14 also includes the bowl profile 31 and the core 32, but the latter is provided with a simple rim 34 forming with the opposite rim a male slide capable of engaging by sliding in the slide formed by the hooks 33.
- Each element 13, 14 can slide freely along the respective upright and, in the normal position, it rests on the lower cross member 5 of the dial.
- two barriers can be assembled end to end. When the two elements 13, 14 are engaged, they keep the uprights 3a and 3d parallel, but allow them to drop in one direction or the other, as well as a rotation of the two elements 3a and 3d over 360 °.
