Description
La présente invention a trait à un dispositif simple, efficace, permettant une identification visuelle, permanente, de l'état d'une structure en bois, poteau notamment, après réalisation d'un contrôle périodique.The present invention relates to a simple, effective device, allowing a permanent visual identification of the condition of a wooden structure, post in particular, after carrying out a periodic check.
Il est bien connu, voire notamment le FR-A-2 707 759 (correspondant à l'US 5 567 871 au nom du Demandeur) que les poteaux ou autres structures en bois, utilisés notamment pour les lignes de téléphone ou lignes électriques, doivent être contrôlés périodiquement pour vérifier leur état afin de décider des opérations d'entretien et/ou de remplacement si cela est nécessaire.It is well known, or even in particular FR-A-2 707 759 (corresponding to US 5,567,871 on behalf of the Applicant) that poles or other structures in wood, used in particular for telephone lines or power lines, must be periodically checked to check their condition in order to decide on operations maintenance and / or replacement if necessary.
L'un des problèmes qui se pose après de tels contrôles réside dans l'utilisation du diagnostic réalisé, notamment en vue d'informer rapidement et efficacement le personnel en charge de l'entretien. Par ailleurs, après contrôle, il est également nécessaire de pouvoir être informé sur l'échéance à laquelle doit être réalisé un nouveau contrôle, cette échéance pouvant être plus ou moins proche en fonction de la qualité physique et/ou mécanique du poteau ou de la structure.One of the problems that arises after such checks is the use of the diagnosis carried out, in particular with a view to rapidly informing and efficiently the personnel in charge of maintenance. Furthermore, after verification, it it is also necessary to be able to be informed about the deadline by which must be carried out a new check, this deadline may be more or less near in depending on the physical and / or mechanical quality of the post or structure.
Or on a trouvé, et c'est ce qui fait l'objet de la présente invention, un dispositif simple, efficace, qui permet l'identification visuelle donnant simultanément l'état de la structure contrôlée, ainsi que le délai dans lequel un nouveau contrôle doit être effectué.Now we have found, and this is what is the subject of the present invention, a simple, effective device that allows visual identification giving simultaneously the state of the controlled structure, as well as the period within which a new check must be carried out.
D'une manière générale, le dispositif conforme à l'invention se compose d'une part d'un support d'informations et, d'autre part, d'un moyen de fixation directement sur la structure contrôlée et il se caractérise en ce que :
- le support d'informations se présente sous la forme de plaques réalisées dans une gamme de couleurs différentes et comportant en leur centre un orifice pour le moyen de fixation ;
- le moyen de fixation est constitué par un clou enfichable dans la structure contrôlée au travers de l'orifice que comporte la plaque, la tête dudit clou comportant sur sa face apparente, réalisée dans la masse, une mention permettant d'identifier au moins l'année au cours de laquelle a été effectué le contrôle ;
- au moins la face visible des plaques comporte, également formée dans la masse, une mention indiquant soit que la structure contrôlée est dangereuse et doit être remplacée, soit le délai fixé pour un nouveau contrôle, lesdites mentions étant disposées selon une couronne non masquée par la tête du clou, autour de l'orifice (3), chaque plaque (1) comportant plusieurs fois la même mention, selon une disposition symétrique par rapport audit orifice (3).
- the information medium is in the form of plates produced in a range of different colors and having in their center an orifice for the fixing means;
- the fixing means is constituted by a nail pluggable into the controlled structure through the orifice that the plate comprises, the head of said nail comprising on its visible face, produced in the mass, a mention making it possible to identify at least the year during which the check was carried out;
- at least the visible face of the plates includes, also formed in the mass, a mention indicating either that the controlled structure is dangerous and must be replaced, or the time limit fixed for a new control, said mentions being arranged in a crown not masked by the head of the nail, around the orifice (3), each plate (1) having the same mention several times, in a symmetrical arrangement with respect to said orifice (3).
Dans une forme de réalisation préférentielle, la plaque support d'informations se présente sous la forme d'un disque circulaire en matière plastique colorée dans la masse, les informations étant réalisées en relief sur les deux faces.In a preferred embodiment, the support plate information is in the form of a circular disc in matter colored plastic in the mass, the information being produced in relief on the two sides.
De manière pratique, ces plaques seront réalisées dans une gamme comportant au moins trois couleurs différentes, rouge, orange, vert par exemple, mais cela n'est pas limitatif.In practical terms, these plates will be produced in a range with at least three different colors, red, orange, green for example, but this is not limiting.
L'invention et les avantages qu'elle apporte sera cependant mieux comprise
grâce à l'exemple de réalisation donné ci-après à titre indicatif mais non limitatif et
qui est illustré par les schémas annexés dans lesquels :
Si l'on se reporte aux schémas annexés, l'invention se présente donc sous la forme d'un support d'informations, désigné par la référence générale (1) et d'un moyen de fixation désigné par la référence générale (2).If we refer to the attached diagrams, the invention therefore appears under the form of an information medium, designated by the general reference (1) and of a fixing means designated by the general reference (2).
Le support d'informations est de préférence constitué par un disque comportant en son centre un orifice (3). Le moyen de fixation est constitué par un clou dont la tige (4) est destinée à être enfichée dans le poteau contrôle et dont la tête (5) comporte sur sa face visible, en relief, une indication sur l'année où est effectué le contrôle, 97 par exemple. Les supports d'informations se présentent sous la forme d'une gamme de disques de couleurs différentes, quatre d'un point de vue pratique, par exemple rouge (figure 2), orange (figure 3), vert clair (figure 4) et vert foncé (figure 5). Sur chacun des disques est portée une mention dans l'état de la structure et le délai nécessaire pour un prochain contrôle. The information medium is preferably constituted by a disc having in its center an orifice (3). The fixing means consists of a nail whose rod (4) is intended to be inserted in the control post and whose head (5) has on its visible face, in relief, an indication of the year when performed the check, 97 for example. The information carriers are presented in the form of a range of discs of different colors, four of a point in practical terms, for example red (figure 2), orange (figure 3), light green (figure 4) and dark green (Figure 5). Each disc has a mention in the state of the structure and the time required for a next check.
Le support rouge (figure 2) sera utilisé pour être apposé sur une structure en bois dont le contrôle est tel qu'elle implique un changement immédiat.The red support (figure 2) will be used to be affixed on a structure in wood whose control is such that it implies an immediate change.
Les supports orange, vert clair, vert foncé indiquent respectivement que les structures sont en plus ou moins bon état en indiquant le délai prévisible pour un nouveau contrôle, par exemple trois ans, cinq ans, huit ans.The orange, light green, dark green supports respectively indicate that the structures are in more or less good condition indicating the expected time for a new control, for example three years, five years, eight years.
Ces disques sont de préférence réalisés en matière plastique et les inscriptions qu'ils comportent sont en relief. Ils sont donc pratiquement imputrescibles. Par ailleurs, les mentions sont disposéesde préférence selon une couronne, ce qui permet de les lire facilement quelle que soit l'orientation du disque après qu'il ait été apposé sur la structure contrôlée.These discs are preferably made of plastic and the the inscriptions they contain are in relief. They are therefore practically rot. Furthermore, the indications are preferably arranged according to a crown, making it easy to read them regardless of the orientation of the disc after it has been affixed to the controlled structure.
Un tel dispositif de conception particulièrement simple est non seulement très facile à être mis en place, sa fixation par le centre favorisant par ailleurs son maintien contre des poteaux cylindriques.Such a particularly simple design device is not only very easy to put in place, its fixing by the center also promoting its support against cylindrical posts.
