Abstract

PCT No. PCT/CH91/00202 Sec. 371 Date May 27, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date May 27, 1992 PCT Filed Sep. 24, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/06247 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 16, 1992.A parking prevention means comprises a housing (1) containing a power supply, a controller signal receiver unit, said signals controlling a motor coupled to a shaft (8) bearing a movable part (2) which the motor moves from a substantially horizontal position to a substantially vertical position and vice-versa. The movable part comprises one or more legs (3) which are substantially nondeformable and also includes means enabling the shaft to impart its rotational movement to the movable part, whereas rotation of the movable part caused by an external force does not result in associated rotation of the shaft.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'interdiction de parcage.The present invention relates to a parking prohibition device.

La réservation d'une place de parc pour véhicule automobile est un sujet qui a déjà donné lieu à de multiples propositions. Ces propositions peuvent être distinguées selon deux critères principaux.The reservation of a parking space for a motor vehicle is a subject which has already given rise to numerous proposals. These proposals can be distinguished according to two main criteria.

Le premier critère a trait à la commande à distance du dispositif. En effet, certains dispositifs supposent une intervention manuelle de l'utilisateur, alors que d'autres prévoient au contraire un moyen de commande à distance.The first criterion relates to the remote control of the device. Indeed, some devices assume manual intervention by the user, while others provide on the contrary a remote control means.

Le deuxième critère concerne l'effet de signalisation ou l'effet d'opposition physique.The second criterion concerns the signaling effect or the physical opposition effect.

Pour une large part, les dispositifs proposés se contentent d'indiquer, le plus clairement possible, que le conducteur en quête d'une place est prié de la chercher ailleurs. Si l'automobiliste impatient décide de violer le signal, les caractéristiques constitutives des dispositifs concernés visent surtout à ce que le dispositif survive à la violation.For the most part, the proposed systems are content to indicate, as clearly as possible, that the driver looking for a place is asked to look for it elsewhere. If the impatient motorist decides to violate the signal, the constituent characteristics of the devices concerned aim above all to ensure that the device survives the violation.

L'autre groupe est évidemment constitué de dispositifs conçus pour être physiquement le plus inviolable possible.The other group is obviously made up of devices designed to be as physically inviolable as possible.

S'agissant de dispositifs opposant une certaine résistance physique, la question à résoudre est principalement d'éviter qu'une violation n'entraîne une détérioration du mécanisme de déverrouillage. En effet, lorsque tel est le cas, le dispositif interdit l'accès de la place aussi bien à tout tiers qu'à son légitime ayant droit.In the case of devices offering a certain physical resistance, the question to be resolved is mainly to prevent a violation from causing a deterioration of the unlocking mechanism. In fact, when this is the case, the system prohibits access to the square for both third parties and their legitimate claimants.

Pour les dispositifs prévoyant une commande à distance et une résistance physique, un deuxième problème se pose: la protection des éléments électroniques indispensables, ainsi que des batteries d'alimentation, si elles sont prévues. En effet, électronique et alimentation sont confinées dans le boîtier du dispositif, ce qui, en général, en diminue la résistance à l'écrasement, notamment si la roue d'une camionette ou d'un camion passe sur le dispositif.For devices providing remote control and physical resistance, a second problem arises: the protection of essential electronic elements, as well only supply batteries, if provided. Indeed, electronics and power are confined in the device housing, which, in general, reduces the resistance to crushing, especially if the wheel of a pickup truck or a truck passes over the device.

Finalement, selon la philosophie adoptée, avec ou sans commande à distance, les dispositifs connus visent soit à empêcher coûte que coûte toute violation, soit à préserver autant que faire se peut le dispositif si une violation a lieu. Les premiers risquent la destruction ou la détérioration, les seconds ont un effet dissuasif purement psychologique, qui diminue avec le temps et l'expérience des contrevenants.Finally, according to the philosophy adopted, with or without remote control, the known devices aim either to prevent any cost at all costs, or to preserve the device as much as possible if a violation takes place. The former risk destruction or deterioration, the latter have a purely psychological deterrent effect, which diminishes over time and the experience of offenders.

Comme illustration des dispositifs proposés, on citera par exemple le brevet français publié sous no 2,124,197 et le brevet belge no 904,603 pour ce qui concerne des dispositifs de pure signalisation. Le brevet suisse no 664 587 illustre un dispositif de signalisation à commande à distance pourvu de moyens pour la préservation du dispositif en cas de violation. Finalement, le brevet canadien no 1,177,299 montre des dispositifs à action manuelle présentant des moyens d'absorption des chocs involontaires.As an illustration of the devices proposed, mention may be made, for example, of the French patent published under No. 2,124,197 and the Belgian patent No. 904,603 with regard to pure signaling devices. Swiss Patent No. 664 587 illustrates a remote control signaling device provided with means for preserving the device in the event of violation. Finally, Canadian Patent No. 1,177,299 shows manual action devices having means for absorbing involuntary shocks.

Cette liste ne se veut pas exhaustive mais simplement représentative des divers types de propositions connues.This list is not intended to be exhaustive but simply representative of the various types of known proposals.

D'une manière générale, on peut retenir que, s'ils sont conçus pour survivre à une violation, les systèmes connus s'emploient à esquiver une mise en charge par le véhicule contrevenant et cela tant lorsque le véhicule entre sur la place réservée que lorsqu'il en sort. Il en résulte que les auteurs des violations ont peu à redouter de leur comportement, les organes des dispositifs d'interdiction étant conçus pour ne pas les endommager. Cela vaut tout particulièrement lors de la sortie du véhicule, moment auquel une réelle résistance du dispositif d'interdiction pourrait conduire à un effet de lift auquel les dispositifs connus ne résistent pas.In general, it can be remembered that, if they are designed to survive a violation, the known systems work to dodge a charge by the offending vehicle and this both when the vehicle enters the reserved space and when he leaves it. As a result, the perpetrators have little fear of their behavior, the organs of the prohibition devices being designed not to damage them. This is particularly true when leaving the vehicle, when real resistance from the prohibition device could lead to a lifting effect to which the known devices do not resist.

La présente invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif permettant de remédier en grande partie aux inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus.The object of the present invention is to propose a device making it possible to largely remedy the drawbacks mentioned above.

A cet effet, il est proposé un dispositif d'interdiction de parcage selon la revendication 1.To this end, a parking prohibition device according to claim 1 is proposed.

Le dispositif d'interdiction de parcage comprend un boîtier renfermant des moyens d'alimentation, un organe récepteur de signaux de commande, lesquels actionnent un moteur couplé à un arbre portant une partie mobile que l'action du moteur fait passer d'une position sensiblement horizontale à une position sensiblement verticale et vice-versa. En outre, le dispositif comporte des moyens autorisant l'abaissement forcé de la partie mobile en cas de violation et assurant son rappel vers la position verticale, ces moyens étant conformés de façon que la partie mobile agisse comme une béquille soulevant le véhicule contrevenant lors de son retrait, sans qu'il en résulte un dommage pour le dispositif.The parking prohibition device comprises a box containing supply means, a member for receiving control signals, which actuate a motor coupled to a shaft carrying a movable part which the action of the motor causes to pass from a position substantially horizontal to a substantially vertical position and vice versa. In addition, the device comprises means authorizing the forced lowering of the movable part in the event of a violation and ensuring its return to the vertical position, these means being shaped so that the movable part acts like a crutch lifting the offending vehicle during its removal, without resulting in damage to the device.

On décrit ci-après un exemple de dispositif selon l'invention en se référant au dessin dans lequel:

Comme représenté aux figures 1 et 7, le dispositif se compose d'un boîtier 1 réalisé dans une matière résistante. A l'intérieur du boîtier prennent place un organe de commande capable de recevoir des signaux 21. Cet organe de commande met en marche un moteur 22 dont l'axe 23 est couplé à une came 24 qui actionne une bielle 25 reliée à un arbre 8 au moyen d'une seconde came 26. L'arbre repose dans des orifices pratiqués dans les parois du boîtier et dépasse de celui-ci de part et d'autre. Sur les tronçons de l'arbre 27 qui dépassent du boîtier sont disposés des manchons 4 en forme de capuchons sur lesquels sont fixées à leur tour les jambes 3 qui constituent la base de la partie mobile 2 du dispositif. Dans son utilisation normale, soit sans violation, la commande à distance 21 active le moteur 22 qui fait tourner l'arbre 8 sur lui-même jusqu'à une position préférentielle d'équilibre stable déterminée par la came 24 de l'axe moteur 23, la partie mobile 2 du dispositif étant alors mise en position verticale. Un ressort 28 maintient la bielle 25 dans cette position préférentielle. Lorsque le propriétaire de la place de parc pourvue du dispositif revient pour y parquer son véhicule, il actionne à nouveau la commande à distance et le moteur, agissant sur l'arbre, ramène la partie mobile dans une position horizontale.As shown in Figures 1 and 7, the device consists of a housing 1 made of a resistant material. Inside the housing take place a control member capable of receiving signals 21. This control member starts a motor 22 whose axis 23 is coupled to a cam 24 which actuates a connecting rod 25 connected to a shaft 8 by means of a second cam 26. The shaft rests in orifices made in the walls of the housing and protrudes from it on either side. On the sections of the shaft 27 which protrude from the housing are arranged sleeves 4 in the form of caps on which are fixed in turn the legs 3 which constitute the base of the movable part 2 of the device. In its normal use, ie without violation, the remote control 21 activates the motor 22 which rotates the shaft 8 on itself until a preferential position of stable equilibrium determined by the cam 24 of the motor axis 23 , the movable part 2 of the device then being placed in a vertical position. A spring 28 maintains the connecting rod 25 in this preferred position. When the owner of the parking space provided with the device returns to park his vehicle there, he actuates the remote control again and the motor, acting on the shaft, brings the movable part back to a horizontal position.

Si une violation a lieu, le véhicule contrevenant imprime sur la partie mobile du dispositif unc force tendant à lui faire regagner sa position horizontale. En raison de la position d'équilibre stable décrite, l'arbre ne peut pas tourner sur lui-même et autoriser ce mouvement. Le mouvement de repli de la partie mobile a certes lieu, mais grâce à un arrangement permettant à un ou plusieurs ressorts, logés dans les jambes de la partie mobile, d'absorber la course de la partie mobile. La partie mobile s'efface ainsi sous la progression du véhicule, mais le sommet de la partie mobile s'appuie contre le dessous du véhicule de toute la force du ou des ressorts. Il en résulte que lorsque le véhicule contrevenant amorce sa tentative de retrait, la partie mobile pivote selon l'axe de l'arbre et constitue une béquille capable de soulever le véhicule. Le dispositif comporte ainsi un avantage appréciable en condamnant le véhicule contrevenant à rester sur place sous peine d'être endommagé. Le dispositif, par les mesures constructives qui lui sont propres et que l'on détaille ci-après, supporte parfaitement ce traitement sans aucun dommage. L'originalité du dispositif résulte de ce que les moyens mis en oeuvre pour lever et abaisser sans violation la partie mobile, ne sont nullement affectés en cas de violation, le mouvement de repli de la partie mobile étant alors entièrement pris en charge par d'autres moyens.If a violation takes place, the offending vehicle prints a tensile force on the moving part of the device. to return it to its horizontal position. Due to the stable equilibrium position described, the shaft cannot turn on itself and allow this movement. The movement of withdrawal of the mobile part certainly takes place, but thanks to an arrangement allowing one or more springs, housed in the legs of the mobile part, to absorb the stroke of the mobile part. The mobile part thus disappears under the progression of the vehicle, but the top of the mobile part bears against the underside of the vehicle with all the force of the spring (s). As a result, when the offending vehicle begins its attempt to withdraw, the movable part pivots along the axis of the shaft and constitutes a stand capable of lifting the vehicle. The device thus has an appreciable advantage in ordering the contravening vehicle to remain on site on pain of being damaged. The device, by the constructive measures which are specific to it and which are detailed below, perfectly supports this treatment without any damage. The originality of the device results from the fact that the means used to raise and lower the movable part without violation, are in no way affected in the event of violation, the movement of withdrawal of the movable part being then entirely taken care of by other means.

Sur la figure 1, on peut voir le boîtier 1, qui comporte un mécanisme permettant de lever la partie mobile 2. Les jambes 3 de la partie mobile prennent ancrage sur l'arbre, non visible sur cette figure, par l'intermédiaire de manchons 4. La partie mobile 2 est ici représentée dans sa position active et peut se replier en entourant le boîtier jusqu'à être parallèle à la surface supérieure de celui-ci. On distingue aussi un orifice 5 pratiqué dans le manchon 4. Cet orifice se trouve dans le prolongement de l'arbre.In Figure 1, we can see the housing 1, which has a mechanism for lifting the movable part 2. The legs 3 of the movable part are anchored on the shaft, not visible in this figure, by means of sleeves 4. The movable part 2 is here shown in its active position and can be folded around the housing until it is parallel to the upper surface thereof. There is also an orifice 5 formed in the sleeve 4. This orifice is located in the extension of the shaft.

La figure 1 présente le dispositif tel que vu de face si l'on se trouve devant la place de parc concernée. On se rend ainsi compte qu'un véhicule violant l'accès appuyerait sur la partie mobile 2 jusqu'à la rabattre presque complètement.Figure 1 shows the device as seen from the front if one is in front of the parking space concerned. It is thus realized that a vehicle violating the access would press on the mobile part 2 until it almost completely folds it down.

Lorsque, ainsi engagé sur la place de parc, le contrevenant fera marche arrière pour se retirer, le sommet de la partie mobile, qui est maintenue en contact avec le dessous du véhicule grâce aux ressorts décrits aux figures 3 à 5, se trouve en position d'agir comme un levier. Toute la force qui résulte de cette résistance est transmise à l'arbre selon son axe grâce aux mécanismes illustrés aux figures 3 à 5.When, thus engaged in the parking space, the offender will reverse to withdraw, the top of the movable part, which is kept in contact with the underside of the vehicle thanks to the springs described in Figures 3 to 5, is in position to act as a lever. All the force that results from this resistance is transmitted to the shaft along its axis thanks to the mechanisms illustrated in Figures 3 to 5.

La figure 2 illustre un étai latéral 6 qui se présente comme une sorte de sabot ancré dans le sol par de solides goujons 7. L'étai latéral, qu'on montre ici en coupe partielle pour faire observer en situation ses particularités, possède un évidement en forme de couronne dont la forme constitue sensiblement l'empreinte du manchon 4. En effet, et c'est là l'important, une protubérance 5' correspond exactement à l'orifice 5 déjà décrit. Comme cet orifice constitue le prolongement de l'arbre, l'arbre dispose d'un soutien extérieur qui partage les charges auxquelles il est soumis, contribuant ainsi à transmettre ces forces au sol sur une base plus large que le seul boîtier. Il est également prévu de munir le dispositif d'un étai différent de celui illustré à la figure 2. Dans ce cas, l'étai épouse simplement le contour extérieur du manchon 4, sur sa moitié inférieure, comme un simple étrier.FIG. 2 illustrates a lateral forestay 6 which is presented as a sort of shoe anchored in the ground by solid studs 7. The lateral forestay, which is shown here in partial section to show its particular features in situ, has a recess in the form of a crown, the shape of which constitutes substantially the imprint of the sleeve 4. In fact, and this is important, a protuberance 5 'corresponds exactly to the orifice 5 already described. As this orifice is an extension of the shaft, the shaft has an external support which shares the loads to which it is subjected, thus helping to transmit these forces to the ground on a wider base than the single housing. It is also planned to provide the device with a forestay different from that illustrated in FIG. 2. In this case, the forestay simply follows the outside contour of the sleeve 4, on its lower half, like a simple stirrup.

La figure 3 permet d'observer un arrangement permettant de transmettre la force résultant d'une violation selon l'axe de l'arbre, de façon à permettre la transmission desdites forces au sol sans aucun effort mécanique interne. On reconnaît le manchon 4 dans l'intérieur duquel une cavité abrite un passage pour une courroie 10 réalisée en matériau souple, mais très résistant et non extensible, tel la natte de Kevlar ou de fibre de verre. La courroie 10 se présente sous la forme d'une bandelette dont la partie médiane est fixée à l'arbre 8 par une vis 9 et dont les extémités sont emprisonnées entre deux mâchoires de serrage 11 reliées par des vis de serrage 12. Les mâchoires 11 possèdent une marge d'appui sur laquelle butent des ressorts 13. Qu'on appuie sur la partie mobile vers l'avant ou vers l'arrière, la force d'opposition engendrée par l'extension d'un ressort et l'écrasement de l'autre est transmise axialement à l'arbre. Comme l'arbre ne peut pivoter sur lui-même en raison de la position de parcours maximum de la came qui le commande, le manchon 4 pivote autour de l'arbre, ne rencontrant que la résistance relative des deux ressorts. Le jeu opposé des ressorts permet à la partie mobile de retrouver sa position verticale neutre sans que cela implique d'un quelconque mouvement de l'arbre donc de la mécanique d'entraînement du dispositif.Figure 3 allows to observe an arrangement for transmitting the force resulting from a violation along the axis of the shaft, so as to allow the transmission of said forces to the ground without any internal mechanical effort. We recognize the sleeve 4 inside which a cavity houses a passage for a belt 10 made of flexible material, but very resistant and non-stretchable, such as Kevlar or fiberglass mat. The belt 10 is in the form of a strip, the middle part of which is fixed to the shaft 8 by a screw 9 and the ends of which are trapped between two clamping jaws 11 connected by clamping screws 12. The jaws 11 have a margin support on which springs abut 13. Whether the moving part is pressed forwards or backwards, the opposing force generated by the extension of one spring and the crushing of the other is transmitted axially to the shaft. As the shaft cannot pivot on itself due to the position of maximum travel of the cam which controls it, the sleeve 4 pivots around the shaft, meeting only the relative resistance of the two springs. The opposite play of the springs allows the movable part to return to its neutral vertical position without this involving any movement of the shaft, therefore of the drive mechanics of the device.

Sur la figure 4, on aperçoit une deuxième variante d'un arrangement permettant une transmission des forces externes selon l'axe de l'arbre. Cette fois, un seul ressort 13' est mis en oeuvre, ce qui offre la possibilité de lui donner une amplitude de course plus grande. On reconnaît les mêmes composants que sur la figure 3. De plus, cet arrangement comporte une bague de fixation 16 pourvue de rainures 14 destinées à collaborer avec des ergots 15 aménagés sur les mâchoires 11 qui fixent entre elles les extrémités de la courroie 10. En effet, lors du montage du dispositif, on fait coulisser les ergots 15 dans les rainures 14 jusqu'à ce que les ergots 15 affleurent au dessus de la surface supérieure de la bague 16. A ce moment, on fait pivoter la bague, respectivement les mâchoires, d'un quart de tour de manière que les ergots se trouvent en regard des crénaux 17 et pénètrent dans ceux-ci. Le ressort étant ainsi armé, les ergots ne peuvent plus ressortir des crénaux sous l'action contradictoire de la courroie et du ressort.In Figure 4, we see a second variant of an arrangement allowing a transmission of external forces along the axis of the tree. This time, a single spring 13 'is used, which offers the possibility of giving it a greater range of travel. The same components are recognized as in FIG. 3. In addition, this arrangement includes a fixing ring 16 provided with grooves 14 intended to collaborate with lugs 15 arranged on the jaws 11 which fix the ends of the belt 10 between them. Indeed, during assembly of the device, the lugs 15 are made to slide in the grooves 14 until the lugs 15 are flush above the upper surface of the ring 16. At this time, the ring is pivoted, respectively jaws, a quarter turn so that the pins are located opposite the teeth 17 and penetrate therein. The spring being thus armed, the lugs can no longer come out of the slots under the contradictory action of the belt and the spring.

La figure 5, fort schématique, permet de constater qu'un effet similaire à celui décrit à propos des figures 3 et 4 peut être obtenu à l'intérieur même du boîtier en assurant la liaison entre la came de l'arbre et l'arbre au moyen d'un ressort dont l'une des extrémités est solidaire de l'arbre et l'autre de la came de l'arbre qui est reliée à une bielle fixée à son autre extrémité à la came de l'axe du moteur. Dans ce cas, lors d'une violation, il y a rotation de l'arbre, mais sans que celle-ci soit répercutée à la mécanique motrice, le mouvement de l'arbre étant absorbé par le ressort.Figure 5, very schematic, shows that an effect similar to that described in connection with Figures 3 and 4 can be obtained inside the housing by ensuring the connection between the cam of the shaft and the shaft by means of a spring, one end of which is secured to the shaft and the other of the shaft cam which is connected to a connecting rod fixed at its other end to the cam of the motor shaft. In this case, during a violation, there is rotation of the shaft, but without this being passed on to the driving mechanics, the movement of the shaft being absorbed by the spring.

Des essais pratiqués avec des véhicules de divers modèles montrent que, réalisé selon l'une des variantes exposées aux figures 3 à 5, le dispositif est capable de soulever l'un des essieux du véhicule contrevenant sans subir la moindre détérioration, cela grâce à une transmission des forces selon l'axe de l'arbre. L'ensemble des forces résultant d'une tentative de retrait du véhicule contrevenant est transmis au sol sans qu'un quelconque effet de torsion ne mette en danger la structure fonctionnelle du dispositif. La transmission desdits efforts au sol est encore facilitée par l'action des étais latéraux. La variante illustrée à la figure 4 peut être considérée comme préférentielle.Tests carried out with vehicles of various models show that, produced according to one of the variants shown in Figures 3 to 5, the device is capable of lifting one of the axles of the offending vehicle without undergoing the slightest deterioration, this thanks to a transmission of forces along the axis of the tree. All the forces resulting from an attempt to remove the offending vehicle are transmitted to the ground without any twisting effect endangering the functional structure of the device. The transmission of said forces to the ground is further facilitated by the action of the lateral stays. The variant illustrated in Figure 4 can be considered preferential.

La figure 6 montre un bloc énergétique qui se présente en l'espèce comme un cube dans lequel des piles usuelles du commerce 18 sont logées. Il doit être clair que la forme représentée du bloc énergétique est purement indicative. La matière utilisée pour la réalisation de l'enveloppe cubique qui accueille les piles sera choisie avec des propriétés non conductrices, mais surtout avec une résistance à la compression. En effet, comme le bloc énergétique est placé au centre du boîtier, il participe très activement à la résistance à l'écrasement de celui-ci. Les dimensions de l'enveloppe sont choisies de manière que les piles disposent d'une petite marge de liberté, afin précisément qu'une faible déformation de l'enveloppe ne détruise pas les piles.Figure 6 shows an energy block which is presented here as a cube in which the usual commercial batteries 18 are housed. It should be clear that the represented form of the energy block is purely indicative. The material used for the production of the cubic envelope which accommodates the batteries will be chosen with non-conductive properties, but above all with a resistance to compression. Indeed, as the energy block is placed in the center of the box, it participates very actively in the crushing resistance of the latter. The dimensions of the envelope are chosen so that the batteries have a small margin of freedom, so that a slight deformation of the envelope does not destroy the batteries.

Sur la figure 6, la face du cube présentée est la face inférieure lors de la mise en place du bloc énergétique dans le boîtier. Le boîtier, que l'on voit mieux sur la figure 7, comporte en son centre un logement 30 destiné à recevoir le bloc énergétique. Ce logement constitue en quelque sorte l'empreinte du bloc énergétique. La face illustrée sur le dessin de la figure 6 sera donc tournée vers le sol. A supposer qu'une alimentation extérieure soit possible, il va de soi que l'on pourra remplacer le bloc énergétique par une alimentation convertissant le courant. On prendra alors soin de veiller que le conteneur de l'alimentation exerce la même fonction de support central que celle du bloc énergétique décrit. On reconnaît quatre piles 18, mises en contact en série au moyen des lames de contact 19 agencées sur la face interne de l'enveloppe cubique. Il convient d'insister tout particulièrement sur le fait que les lames de contact sont situées, comme le dessin l'indique, sur la face interne de l'enveloppe cubique. Cela a pour conséquence qu'une fois le bloc énergétique mis en place dans le boîtier, les lames de contact sont non seulement séparées de la surface inférieure interne du boîtier mais en sont séparées d'un intervalle au moins égal à l'épaisseur de l'enveloppe. Cette mise en retrait des lames de contact a pour but d'écarter le risque de court-circuit qui découlerait de la présence de dépôts ou de liquide au fond du boîtier, résultant par exemple de la condensation. De cette façon, les éléments contribuant au contact des piles entre elles ou avec les bornes prévues du boîtier ne sont en ni en contact avec la face inférieure interne du boîtier, ni même situés à proximité immédiate de cette surface.In FIG. 6, the face of the cube presented is the lower face when the energy block is placed in the housing. The housing, which is best seen in Figure 7, has at its center a housing 30 for receiving the energy unit. This accommodation constitutes in a way the energy block footprint. The face illustrated in the drawing in FIG. 6 will therefore be turned towards the ground. Assuming that an external power supply is possible, it goes without saying that the energy unit can be replaced by a power supply converting the current. Care will then be taken to ensure that the food container exercises the same central support function as that of the energy block described. One recognizes four batteries 18, brought into contact in series by means of the contact blades 19 arranged on the internal face of the cubic envelope. Particular emphasis should be placed on the fact that the contact blades are located, as the drawing indicates, on the internal face of the cubic envelope. This has the consequence that once the energy block is placed in the housing, the contact blades are not only separated from the inner bottom surface of the housing but are separated from it by an interval at least equal to the thickness of the 'envelope. The purpose of this withdrawal of the contact blades is to eliminate the risk of short circuit which would arise from the presence of deposits or of liquid at the bottom of the housing, resulting for example from condensation. In this way, the elements contributing to the contact of the batteries with each other or with the terminals provided for the housing are neither in contact with the internal underside of the housing, nor even located in the immediate vicinity of this surface.

On relève finalement un logement 20, configuré de manière à collaborer avec une partie mâle 29 correspondante présente sur la face inférieure interne du boîtier ainsi qu'on le voit sur la figure 7. L'accouplement mâle 29 femelle 20 a pour but de ne rendre possible qu'une seule manière de mettre en place le bloc énergétique, précisément celle qui permet de s'accorder avec les lames de contact que comporte la partie supérieure du boîtier.Finally, there is a housing 20, configured so as to collaborate with a corresponding male part 29 present on the inner underside of the housing as seen in FIG. 7. The purpose of the male 29 female 20 coupling is to render possible only one way to set up the energy block, precisely that which makes it possible to agree with the contact blades that comprise the upper part of the housing.

La face supérieure du bloc énergétique est tout à fait similaire à la face inférieure que l'on voit sur la figure 6, à ceci près qu'il n'y a ni lames de contact 18, ni logement 20.The upper face of the energy block is quite similar to the lower face that can be seen in FIG. 6, except that there are neither contact blades 18, nor housing 20.

Les avantages du dispositif selon l'invention sont d'offrir un dispositif d'interdiction de parcage qui non seulement signale mais s'oppose à toute tentative de violation, non lors de l'engagement du véhicule, mais lors de son retrait. Bien entendu, ces avantages sont obtenus sans détérioration du dispositif, cela même avec un angle d'attaque perpendiculaire au dispositif, soit de profil, ce qui n'est pas usuel. Comme corollaire, les véhicules piégés ne pouvant se retirer normalement, le dispositif est appelé à devoir résister au poids du véhicule transmis par l'une de ses roues sur la surface supérieure du boîtier. Ici encore le dispositif selon l'invention fait preuve de robustesse, en présentant une résistance accrue au centre du boîtier alors même que cet endroit recèle les piles ou batteries qui, elles, ne peuvent en rien participer à l'effort sous peine d'être gravement détériorées, voire détruites.The advantages of the device according to the invention are to offer a parking prohibition device which not only signals but opposes any attempted violation, not when the vehicle is engaged, but when it is withdrawn. Of course, these advantages are obtained without deterioration of the device, even with an angle of attack perpendicular to the device, or in profile, which is not usual. As a corollary, since trapped vehicles cannot withdraw normally, the device is called upon to have to resist the weight of the vehicle transmitted by one of its wheels on the upper surface of the housing. Here again the device according to the invention shows robustness, by presenting an increased resistance in the center of the case even when this place conceals the cells or batteries which, they, can in no way participate in the effort under penalty of being severely deteriorated or even destroyed.
