Abstract

The method involves using a hollow shock-proof body (2) of weather and ambient influence resistant material suitable for accommodating the lower end of the part of the object to be fixed and that either directly encloses this part or enables it to be fixed or has an internal holder so that the part can be lowered to the desired point in a base and easily removed and replaced in the future. Independent claims are also included for the following: an arrangement for fixing all types of object, e.g. along motorways and roads and for the use of a hollow body for attaching all types of object.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Befestigung von Gegenständen jeglicher Art, die entlang von Straßen, Autobahnen oder Wegen zu deren Begrenzung oder Absicherung, zur Regelung des Verkehrs, zur Vermittlung von Informationen, zur Beleuchtung von Straßen oder Wegen, zu Reklamezwecken und dergleichen angebracht werden, eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung dieses Verfahrens und die Verwendung dieser Vorrichtung.The invention relates to a method for fixing objects of any kind, which are mounted along roads, highways or roads for their limitation or protection, for the regulation of traffic, for the conveyance of information, for the illumination of streets or paths, for advertising purposes and the like, an apparatus for carrying out this method and the use of this device.

Gegenstände, die am Straßenrand zur Begrenzung bzw. Absicherung der Fahrbahn dienen, wie beispielsweise Leitpflöcke, Randsteine und dergleichen, werden derzeit in der Regel dadurch befestigt, daß diese direkt in den Boden versenkt oder durch Einbetonieren fest mit dem Boden verbunden werden. Bei Leitpflöcken, die bereits mit einem Sockel ausgestattet sind, wird dieser Sockel ebenfalls direkt in den Boden versenkt. Handelt es sich bei solchen Begrenzungen um Gegenstände aus Holz oder Plastik, wie beispielsweise Pflöcke in runder oder eckiger Form oder Brüstungen, werden diese ebenfalls direkt und endgültig in den Boden versenkt oder durch Einbetonieren im Boden verankert; danach ist es nicht mehr möglich, sie auch nur zeitweilig wieder zu entfernen.Articles that serve to limit or safeguard the roadside at the roadside, such as Leitpflöcke, curbs and the like, are currently usually secured by the fact that they are sunk directly into the ground or firmly connected by concreting with the ground. In the case of Leitpflöcken, which are already equipped with a base, this base is also sunk directly into the ground. If such boundaries are wooden or plastic objects, such as pegs in a round or square shape or parapets, they are also sunk directly or finally into the ground or anchored in the ground by cementing; After that, it is no longer possible to remove them even temporarily.

Zur Befestigung von Leitschienen sind mehrere Methoden gebräuchlich. Entweder werden die Leitschienensteher direkt in den Boden, die Straßenbefestigung, eine Seitenmauer, einen Mauervorsprung oder in den Fahrbahntrennsockel aus Stahlbeton einbetoniert oder beispielsweise mittels eines Luftdruckhammers in den Boden getrieben. Die Leitschienensteher können auch auf einer Stahlplatte aufgeschweißt sein, welche ihrerseits wiederum, wie normalerweise üblich, auf einem Unterbau aus Beton mittels spezieller Dübel fixiert wird.For fastening of guide rails several methods are common. Either the Leitschienensteher be embedded directly into the ground, the street fortification, a side wall, a wall projection or in the roadway separation base made of reinforced concrete or driven, for example by means of an air hammer in the ground. The Leitschienensteher can also be welded on a steel plate, which in turn, in turn, as usual, is fixed to a concrete substructure by means of special dowels.

Nach den oben angeführten Methoden werden im wesentlichen auch Verkehrszeichen, Hinweistafeln, Reklametafeln und dergleichen entlang von Straßen befestigt. Die oben angeführten Methoden haben den Nachteil, daß bei Beschädigungen der genannten Gegenstände, wie beispielsweise Leitpflöcke, Randsteine, Leitschienen oder Verkehrszeichen, aufwendige Reparaturarbeiten ausgeführt werden müssen, die in der Regel einen großen zeitlichen und materiellen Aufwand erfordern. Beschädigungen entstehen hauptsächlich durch Verkehrsunfälle, treten aber auch bei der Schneeräumung durch Schneepflüge oder beim Mähen durch Rasenmäher von Seiten- bzw. Mittelstreifen von Fahrbahnen oder bei Muren- oder Lawinenabgängen häufig auf. Weitere gravierende Nachteile sind darin zu sehen, daß diese Gegenstände, wie beispielsweise Leitpflöcke, Leitschienen, Hinweistafeln oder Verkehrszeichen, in Situationen, in denen dies erforderlich oder zumindest vorteilhaft wäre, beispielsweise bei der Schneeräumung, beim Mähen oder bei Verkehrsumleitungen, nicht kurzzeitig entfernt und ohne großen Aufwand wieder angebracht werden können.According to the above-mentioned methods, traffic signs, billboards, billboards and the like are also substantially fixed along roads. The above methods have the disadvantage that in case of damage to said objects, such as Leitpflöcke, curbs, guardrails or traffic signs, expensive repairs must be performed, which usually require a great deal of time and material. Damage is caused mainly by traffic accidents, but also occur when clearing snow by snowploughs or mowing by lawnmowers from side or median strip of roads or Muren- or avalanches. Further serious disadvantages are the fact that these items, such as pegs, guardrails, signs or traffic signs, in situations where this would be necessary or at least advantageous, for example in snow removal, mowing or traffic diversion, not removed for a short time and without great effort can be reapplied.

Zudem ist die Beseitigung von Schäden, wenn beispielsweise Leitpflöcke oder Leitschienensteher ersetzt werden müssen, zeitraubend. Das bringt die von Verkehrsteilnehmern häufig zu beobachtende Gefahr mit sich, daß beispielsweise Straßenbegrenzungen an wichtigen Stellen für längere Zeit fehlen oder in einem für die erforderliche Absicherung ungeeigneten Zustand verbleiben. Zudem sei bemerkt, daß alternative Systeme, insbesondere solche, die z.B. Pfosten auf nicht herkömmliche Weise auf einer Stahlbasis und diese wiederum mit speziellen Dübeln auf einem Betonbett verankern, folgende Nachteile bergen:

  • a) sie bieten nur beschränkt Sicherheit, da sie bekanntlich bei horizontalen Schüben (Verkehrsunfällen) nachgeben können
  • b) im Falle einer Senkung des Fundaments können die Stahlplatte und die Dübel nicht mehr ohne Veränderungen an derselben Stelle angebracht werden.
In addition, the elimination of damage, for example, when Leitpflöcke or Leitschienensteher must be replaced, time-consuming. This brings with it the danger frequently observed by road users that, for example, road boundaries at important places are missing for a long time or remain in an unsuitable state for the required protection. In addition, it should be noted that alternative systems, in particular those which, for example, anchor posts in a conventional manner on a steel base and these in turn anchor with special dowels on a concrete bed, have the following disadvantages:
  • a) they offer limited security, as they can give in horizontal push (traffic accidents) known
  • b) if the foundations are lowered, the steel plate and dowels can no longer be fixed in the same place without alteration.

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung mit denen die oben genannten Nachteile vermieden werden können. Denn sie gibt der Straßen- und Autobahnverwaltung die Möglichkeit, jederzeit wenn nötig einzugreifen und die oben genannten Gegenstände auch nur zeitweilig zu entfernen; zudem ist eine Stoßfestigkeit gewährleistet, die größer als jene herkömmlicher Systeme ist. Die bis dato angewandte Methode ist aus folgenden Gründen besonders nachteilig:

  • a) der große Zeitaufwand für Entfernung und Ersatz
  • b) die Entstehung verkehrsbehindernder Baustellen
  • c) die Unwirtschaftlichkeit.
  • d) der Tatsache, daß Leitpflöcke nicht zeitweilig entfernt werden können, wenn immer es nötig ist, z.B. zum Mähen des Rasens längs den Straßen.
The invention relates to a method and a device with which the abovementioned disadvantages can be avoided. Because it gives the road and highway administration the opportunity, anytime necessary to intervene and even temporarily remove the above items; In addition, a shock resistance is ensured which is greater than that of conventional systems. The method used hitherto is particularly disadvantageous for the following reasons:
  • a) the large amount of time for removal and replacement
  • b) the emergence of traffic-obstructing construction sites
  • c) the inefficiency.
  • d) the fact that ladders can not be temporarily removed whenever necessary, for example for mowing the lawn along the roads.

In den Patentschriften AT-B-391503, US-A-3709188 und DE-A-3733973 werden im Boden verankerte Hülsen beschrieben, die unter anderem zur Befestigung von Verkehrszeichen, Ampeln und dgl. dienen. Die im Stand der Technik beschriebenen Vorrichtungen und Verfahren weisen jedoch die Nachteile auf, daß sie nur auf Objekte mit rundem Querschnitt angewandt werden können und die oben bereits ausführlich beschriebenen Probleme nicht lösen.In the patents AT-B-391503, US-A-3709188 and DE-A-3733973 described in the ground anchored sleeves, which serve, inter alia, for the attachment of traffic signs, traffic lights and the like. However, the devices and methods described in the prior art have the disadvantages that they can only be applied to objects with a round cross-section and do not solve the problems already described in detail above.

Dem gegenüber trägt die Erfindung der Tatsache Rechnung, daß es auf dem Markt Leitpflöcke und Leitschienensteher mit verschiedenem Querschnitt von unterschiedlichen Herstellern gibt und die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung und das Verfahren in allen Fällen zur Anwendung gelangen kann. Der beanspruchte Hohlkörper unterscheidet sich auch dadurch, daß er vorzugsweise niveaugleich mit Bodenhöhe oder auch unterhalb des Boden abschließt, wobei man unter Boden die Fahrbahn, eine Mauer oder den Fahrbahntrennsockel aus Beton usw. versteht. Dies ist besonders wichtig, da der Hohlkörper keine Behinderung darstellt und im Fall einer zeitweiligen Entfernung den Verkehr und Arbeiten auf der Fahrbahnoberfläche nicht behindert. Des weiteren unterscheidet sich die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung und das Verfahren von den oben angeführten anderen Systemen auch dadurch, daß Leitpflöcke und Leitschienensteher jeglichen Querschnitts und jeglichen Materials einfach montiert und abmontiert werden können. Diese Gegenstände werden regelmäßig einfach eingeschoben oder herausgezogen, ohne daß dazu besondere Überwurfmuttern, Klemmhülsen, Verschraubungen oder ähnliche Befestigungsmittel angebracht und wieder entfernt werden müssenOn the other hand, the invention takes account of the fact that there are on the market Leitpflöcke and Leitschienensteher with different cross-section of different manufacturers and the device of the invention and the method can be used in all cases. The claimed hollow body also differs in that it is preferably at the same level as ground level or below the ground, where under ground, the roadway, a wall or the roadway separation base of concrete, etc. understands. This is particularly important since the hollow body does not interfere and, in the case of temporary removal, does not hinder traffic and working on the road surface. Furthermore, the apparatus and method of the invention differs from the other systems cited above in that ladders and guardrails of any cross-section and material are simply assembled and disassembled can be. These items are regularly simply inserted or withdrawn without the need for special union nuts, collars, fittings or similar fasteners must be attached and removed

Die FR-A-2 718 481 offenbart eine Vorrichtung, die zur Befestigung von Gegenständen unterschiedlichster Art und Bauweise im Untergrund (Fundament) dient. Diese Vorrichtung besteht aus einem gegenüber Witterungs- und Umwelteinflüssen resistenten, stoßfesten Material gefertigten, an der Unterseite geschlossenem, konisch geformten Hohlkörper mit einem kreisrundem Querschnitt größeren Durchmessers, innerhalb dessen konzentrisch ein Hohlkörper mit einem kreisrunden Querschnitt kleineren Durchmessers befestigt ist. Der Hohlkörper wird an der für die Befestigung des Gegenstandes gewünschten Stelle im Untergrund verankert, wobei der innere, konzentrisch angeordnete Hohlkörper kleineren Durchmessers einen Teil des zu befestigenden Gegenstandes in sich aufnehmen und diesen umschließen kann, so daß dieser Gegenstand an der gewünschten Stelle im Untergrund befestigt und auch auf einfache Weise wieder entfernt werden kann. Eine Abdickung des an der Oberseite nach Entfernung des zu befestigenden Gegenstandes offenen Hohlkörpers ist nicht vorgesehen.FR-A-2 718 481 discloses a device which serves for the attachment of objects of all kinds and construction in the ground (foundation). This device consists of a resistant to weathering and environmental influences, shockproof material manufactured, closed at the bottom, conically shaped hollow body with a circular cross section of larger diameter, within which a hollow body is concentrically fixed with a circular cross section of smaller diameter. The hollow body is anchored to the desired location for attachment of the object in the ground, wherein the inner, concentrically arranged hollow body of smaller diameter can receive a part of the object to be fastened and surround it, so that this object attached to the desired location in the ground and also can be easily removed again. A thickening of the top at the removal of the object to be fastened open hollow body is not provided.

In der DE-U-29 621 405 ist eine Bodenhülse zum Verankern von Stangen, insbesondere Schneestangen beschrieben. Die Bodenhülse besteht aus einem Rohr mit kreisrundem Durchmesser, welches in einen trichterförmigen Aufsatz mit darauf angeordneten Klappen zum Verschließen der Bodenhülse mündet. Der trichterförmige Aufsatz mit größerem Durchmesser ist in erster Linie deshalb erforderlich, um den nötigen Platz für die geöffneten Klappen zu schaffen, wenn sich diese beim Einführen der Stange in die Bodenhülse nach innen öffnen.In DE-U-29 621 405 a ground socket for anchoring rods, in particular snow rods is described. The bottom sleeve consists of a tube with a circular diameter, which opens into a funnel-shaped attachment with flaps arranged thereon for closing the bottom sleeve. The funnel-shaped attachment of larger diameter is therefore primarily necessary to provide the necessary space for the opened flaps, when they open when inserting the rod into the ground socket inwardly.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Befestigung von Gegenständen jeglicher Art, die entlang der Fahrbahn von Autobahnen und Straßen oder entlang von Wegen jeglicher Art, auf oder neben Plätzen zu deren Begrenzung bzw. Absicherung, zur Regelung oder Kontrolle des Verkehrs, zur Vermittlung von Hinweisen und Informationen, zur Beleuchtung von Straßen oder Wegen, zu Reklamezwecken und dergleichen üblicherweise angebracht werden, zu schaffen, bei dem auf eine einfache Art und Weise die Befestigung des Gegenstandes an der gewünschten Stelle im Fundament und, falls erforderlich auf ebenso einfache Art dessen Entfernung ermöglicht wird. Zudem sollte das Verfahren eine einfache und automatische Handhabung und Anordnung zum Verschließen der Öffnung des zur Befestigung des Gegenstandes benötigten Hohlkörpers an dessen Oberseite nach Entfernung des im Hohlkörper befestigten Gegenstandes bereitstellen.The invention is therefore based on the object, a method for fixing objects of any kind, along the roadway of highways and roads or along paths of any kind, on or next to places to limit or safeguard, to regulate or control the traffic, for conveying clues and information, for illuminating roads or paths, for advertising purposes and the like are usually provided to provide, in a simple manner, the attachment of the object at the desired location in the foundation and, if necessary, in an equally simple way its removal. In addition, the method should provide a simple and automatic handling and arrangement for closing the opening of the required for fastening the article hollow body at the top after removal of the fastened in the hollow body object.

Zu diesem Zweck wird ein Verfahren gemäß Anspruch 1 und eine Vorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 2 vorgeschlagen.For this purpose, a method according to claim 1 and an apparatus according to claim 2 are proposed.

Der oder die zu befestigenden Gegenstände umfassen vorzugsweise unter anderem Straßenbegrenzungen aller Art, wie Leitpflöcke, Kabel-Grenz- oder Schneepflöcke beliebiger Höhe oder entsprechende Begrenzungen aus Holz, Metall oder Plastik, Brüstungen, Einfriedungen, Leitschienen, Verkehrszeichen, Hinweisschilder, Halterungen für Straßenbeleuchtungen, Reklametafeln usw. Bevorzugt eignet sich das Verfahren zum Befestigen von Leitpflöcken aus Holz, Metall oder Plastik, wobei die spezielle Form dieser Pflöcke keine Rolle spielt und diese beispielsweise einen kreisförmigen, ovalen, drei-, vier- oder mehreckigen Querschnitt aufweisen können. Ganz bevorzugt eignet sich das Verfahren zum Befestigen von Leitschienenstehern. Dabei können diese Leitschienensteher alle üblichen Formen aufweisen. Solche Formen sind beispielsweise T-Form, U-Form, IPE-Form, HE-Form oder dergleichen.The article (s) to be fastened preferably include, but are not limited to, roadside barriers of any kind, such as pegs, cable boundary or snowploughs of any height, or corresponding wood, metal or plastic borders, parapets, enclosures, guardrails, traffic signs, directional signs, street lighting fixtures, billboards etc. Preferably, the method is suitable for attaching guide posts made of wood, metal or plastic, wherein the special shape of these pegs is irrelevant and they may have, for example, a circular, oval, triangular, quadrangular or polygonal cross section. Most preferably, the method is suitable for attaching Leitschienenstehern. These Leitschienensteher can have all the usual forms. Such shapes are for example T-shape, U-shape, IPE-shape, HE-shape or the like.

Derzeit werden Leitschienesteher auf die folgende Weise aufgestellt: sie werden endgültig in eine Mauer oder im Fahrbahntrennsockel mit Beton eingegossen weshalb zu deren Entfernung der Beton aufgebrochen werden muß. Bei der hier vorliegenden Erfindung wird dagegen der Steher am unteren Teil zunächst in einen Hohlkörper eingeführt und dann erst einbetoniert. Damit wird vorteilshafterweise erreicht, daß der Steher jederzeit auf einfache Weise herausgenommen und wieder eingeführt werden kann, wodurch auch die Leitschiene selbst abmontiert und ausgetauscht werden kann.Currently, guardrails are erected in the following way: they are finally poured into a wall or in the roadway base with concrete and therefore the concrete has to be broken to remove them. In contrast, in the present invention, the stay at the lower part is first introduced into a hollow body and then only set in concrete. Thus, it is advantageously achieved that the post can be taken out at any time in a simple manner and reintroduced, whereby the guide rail itself can be removed and replaced.

Die Leitschienensteher, seien sie IPE-, HE- oder U-förmig, können bei einer nicht erfindungsgemäßen Ausführung in einen Hohlkörper eingeführt und anschließend kann eine horizontale Schiene montiert werden. Diese Stahlteile haben ein großes Gewicht und geben somit genügend Stabilität. Der Druck oder die Schubkraft, denen Leitschienen oder ähnliches ausgesetzt sind, wird bei Verkehrsunfällen immer horizontal, bei Murenabgängen von oben nach unten ausgeübt. Die Schrauben (siehe Beispiele 5 und 6, Abbildung 5 und 6) sind für die Nivellierung, und ordentliche Wartung von Bedeutung, und müssen nicht geöffnet werden um den Steher aus dem Hohlkörper zu entfernen. Sie können jedoch bei der Montage als zusätzliche Stütze benutzt werden.The Leitschienensteher, whether IPE, HE or U-shaped, can in a non-inventive embodiment in a hollow body and then a horizontal rail can be mounted. These steel parts have a large weight and thus provide sufficient stability. The pressure or the thrust, to which guardrails or the like are exposed, is always exercised horizontally in traffic accidents, and from top to bottom in the event of mudflows. The screws (see Examples 5 and 6, Figures 5 and 6) are important for leveling, and proper maintenance, and do not need to be opened to remove the post from the hollow body. However, they can be used as an additional support during assembly.

Der zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens mit dem Fundament fest verbundene Hohlkörper besteht aus einem festen, gegen Umwelt- und Witterungseinflüsse jeglicher Art resistenten Material, wobei Eisen als Material bevorzugt, rostfreier Stahl besonders bevorzugt ist. Ganz besonders bevorzugt eignet sich verzinkter Stahl. Je nach Art und Größe des zu befestigenden Gegenstandes ist auch die Verwendung von Hohlkörpern aus stoßfesten Kunststoffen möglich. Kunststoff eignet sich beispielsweise zur Befestigung von Leitpflöcken aus Plastik oder Holz. Die Wandstärke des Materials wird so gewählt, daß der Hohlkörper gegenüber Stößen widerstandsfähig ist, insbesondere gegenüber horizontalen Stößen (Schüben). Insbesondere bei der Befestigung von Leitpflöcken, Straßenbegrenzungen, Leitschienenstehern und dergleichen wird das Material so gewählt, daß der Hohlkörper selbst widerstandsfähiger als der zu befestigende Gegenstand ist. Bei der Verwendung von Stahl sind hierfür Wandstärken von 0,20 - 20,00 mm geeignet, wobei Wandstärken von 3,00 - 10,00 bevorzugt und 3,00 - 5,00 mm besonders bevorzugt sind. Der Hohlkörper ist an der Unterseite geschlossen, wobei die Unterseite vorzugsweise eine solche geometrische Form aufweist, die das Eindringen in das Fundament erleichtert. Beispielsweise kann die Unterseite flach, oder konisch geformt sein oder in einen Kegelspitz auslaufen.The solid body connected to the foundation for carrying out the method according to the invention consists of a solid, resistant to environmental and weathering influences of any kind material, iron being preferred as material, stainless steel is particularly preferred. Most preferably, galvanized steel is suitable. Depending on the type and size of the object to be fastened and the use of hollow bodies made of impact-resistant plastics is possible. Plastic is suitable for example for the attachment of Leitpflöcken plastic or wood. The wall thickness of the material is chosen so that the hollow body is resistant to impact, especially against horizontal shocks (thrusts). In particular, in the attachment of Leitpflöcken, road boundaries, Leitschienenstehern and the like, the material is chosen so that the hollow body itself is more resistant than the object to be fastened. When steel is used, wall thicknesses of 0.20 to 20.00 mm are suitable for this purpose, with wall thicknesses of 3.00 to 10.00 being preferred and 3.00 to 5.00 mm being particularly preferred. The hollow body is closed at the bottom, wherein the underside preferably has such a geometric shape, which facilitates the penetration into the foundation. For example, the underside may be flat, conical or leaking into a cone point.

Die Oberseite des Hohlkörpers in Gebrauchsstellung ist abdeck und verschließbar. Dazu ist der Hohlkörper mit einer in seinem Innern, bereits befestigten und durch einen Federmechanismus zu bediendenden Abdeckplatte, d.h. einer federgestützten Abdeckplatte, versehen, die ein Öffnen bereits durch leichtes Andrücken des zu befestigenden Gegenstandes bei dessen Einsetzen, und ein automatisches Verschließen bei dessen Entfernung gewährleistet.The top of the hollow body in the use position is cover and closed. For this purpose, the hollow body with a in its interior, already attached and by a spring mechanism to serving end cover plate, ie a spring-mounted cover plate provided, which ensures an opening already by gently pressing the object to be fastened during its insertion, and an automatic closing at its removal.

Die Öffnung kann dadurch geschehen, daß die Abdeckplatte mittels einer Feder innerhalb des Hohlkörpers in senkrechter Richtung parallel zu den Seitenflächen des Hohlkörpers frei beweglich ist und entsprechend beim Einführen des Gegenstandes gegen die Wirkung der Feder in die Richtung des unteren Endes des Hohlkörpers in Gebrauchsstellung bewegt wird und sich beim Entfernen des Gegenstandes selbsttätig durch die Kraft der besonderen im Hohlkörper befindliche Feder bis zu einer an der Oberseite des Hohlkörpers befindlichen Sperre verschiebt und diesen so verschließt.The opening can be effected in that the cover plate is freely movable by means of a spring within the hollow body in the vertical direction parallel to the side surfaces of the hollow body and is accordingly moved during insertion of the article against the action of the spring in the direction of the lower end of the hollow body in the use position and moves automatically upon removal of the article by the force of the special spring located in the hollow body up to a located on the upper side of the hollow body lock and closes it so.

Die senkrechte Führung der Abdeckplatte im Hohlkörper wird vorteilhafterweise dadurch erreicht, daß die Abdeckplatte seitliche Führungsbolzen aufweist, die durch in der Seitenwand des Hohlkörpers angebrachte Schlitze gleiten. Die Feder wird im Inneren des Hohlkörpers an einer im unteren Teil des Hohlkörpers eigens dafür vorgesehenen Aufsetz- oder Befestigungsvorrichtung angebracht, während sie gegen oben von der fixierten Abdeckplatte blockiert wird. Aufgrund ihrer Mechanik drückt die Feder immer nach oben gegen die Abdeckplatte. Bei der Entfernung des vorher befestigten Gegenstandes drückt die Feder die Abdeckplatte bis zum Ende der Führung nach oben, wodurch das Eindringen von Fremdkörpern verhindert werden kann. Wenn dann der zu befestigende Gegenstand eingeführt wird, wobei dieser die Abdeckplatte im Hohlkörper von oben nach unten drückt, wird die Feder (unter leichtem Druck) komprimiert. Automatisch gleiten Abdeckplatte, Feder und Gegenstand im Hohlkörper nach unten. Die Feder steht dadurch fast immer unter Druck. Damit sie also auf Belastung immer reagiert und funktionstüchtig bleibt, muß die Feder folgende besondere Eigenschaften aufweisen:

  • a) sie muß eine starke Windung aufweisen.
  • b) sie muß eine große Schubkraft aufweisen; diese muß allerdings kleiner als diejenige Kraft sein mit der der Gegenstand in den Hohlkörper eingeführt wird;
  • c) in der Komprimierungsphase darf sie nur einem Teil ihrer Druckbelastbarkeit ausgesetzt sein.
The vertical guidance of the cover plate in the hollow body is advantageously achieved in that the cover plate has lateral guide pins which slide through mounted in the side wall of the hollow body slots. The spring is mounted in the interior of the hollow body at a specially provided in the lower part of the hollow body attachment or fastening device while it is blocked from the top of the fixed cover plate. Due to its mechanics, the spring always presses up against the cover plate. In the removal of the previously fixed object, the spring presses the cover plate up to the end of the guide upwards, whereby the penetration of foreign bodies can be prevented. Then, when the object to be fastened is inserted, pushing the cover plate in the hollow body from top to bottom, the spring (under slight pressure) is compressed. The cover plate, spring and object slide automatically downwards in the hollow body. The spring is almost always under pressure. So that it always responds to load and remains functional, the spring must have the following special properties:
  • a) it must have a strong turn.
  • b) it must have a high thrust; However, this must be smaller than the force with which the object is introduced into the hollow body;
  • c) in the compression phase it may only be exposed to a part of its compressive strength.

In den Fällen, in denen der Hohlkörper den unteren, zur Fixierung des zu befestigenden Gegenstandes bestimmten Teil nicht direkt umschließt, sondern einen größeren Umfang aufweist, wird in der Oberseite vorzugsweise nur eine Öffnung im Umfang des aufzunehmenden Gegenstandes ausgespart und der Gegenstand mit der oben beschriebenen Methode blockiert.In the cases in which the hollow body does not directly surround the lower part intended for fixing the object to be fastened, but has a larger circumference, preferably only one opening in the periphery of the male object is cut out in the upper side and the article with the one described above Method blocked.

Höhe, Durchmesser, Umfang und Form des Hohlkörpers können den Erfordernissen entsprechend beliebig gewählt werden und hängen in erster Linier von der Art und Größe des zu befestigenden Gegenstandes ab, wobei hinsichtlich der geometrischen Form im Prinzip keine Einschränkung besteht. Die Höhe des Hohlkörpers beträgt in Abhängigkeit des zu befestigenden Gegenstandes beispielsweise von 20,00 cm bis 200,00 cm. Vorzugsweise beträgt die Höhe von 20,00 bis 50,00 cm. Ganz besonders bevorzugt wird eine Höhe von 25,00 cm bis 35,00 cm. Der Querschnitt kann beispielsweise kreisförmig, oval, dreieckig, quadratisch, recht- oder vieleckig sein.Height, diameter, circumference and shape of the hollow body can be chosen according to the requirements of arbitrary and depend in the first line of the type and size of the object to be fastened, with respect to the geometric shape in principle there is no restriction. The height of the hollow body is, for example, from 20.00 cm to 200.00 cm depending on the object to be fastened. Preferably, the height is from 20.00 to 50.00 cm. Very particularly preferred is a height of 25.00 cm to 35.00 cm. The cross section may, for example, be circular, oval, triangular, square, rectangular or polygonal.

Unter Fundament im Sinne der Erfindung sind beispielsweise die befestigte Fahrbahn, der Gehweg oder Platz selbst, der befestigte oder unbefestigte Rand- bzw. Mittelstreifen von Autobahnen, Straßen oder Wegen, das Straßenbankett, eine Seitenmauer oder Mauervorsprung zu verstehen. Die Versenkung und feste Verbindung des Hohlkörpers mit dem Fundament kann vorteilhafterweise dadurch geschehen, daß der Hohlkörper direkt in das Fundament getrieben wird, beispielsweise mittels eines Luftdruckhammers, oder in dieses eingemauert oder einbetoniert wird. Ausschlaggebend ist, daß eine solide und definitive Verankerung erreicht wird. Bevorzugterweise ist der obere Rand des Hohlkörpers niveaugleich mit dem Fundament. Die Außenoberfläche des Hohlkörpers ist vorzugsweise nicht glatt geformt, sondern weist zur besseren Verbindung des Bodens oder des Betons mit dem Fundament ein Rippen- oder Rautenmuster oder Aussparungen auf. Die Aussparungen werden beim Versenken im Fundament mit dem umgebenden Material ausgefüllt und verbessern dadurch die Verbindung des Hohlkörpers mit dem Fundament.
Die Befestigung des Gegenstandes kann in einfachster Weise dadurch erfolgen, daß die Innenmaße des Hohlkörpers so gewählt werden, daß dieser den unteren, zur Fixierung bestimmten Teil des Gegenstandes direkt umschließt und auf diese Weise fixiert. Als unterer, zur Fixierung bestimmter Teil des Gegenstandes ist im Sinne der Erfindung der untere Teil des Gegenstandes selbst, oder eine Halterung oder ein Steher, an dem der Gegenstand montiert werden kann, zu verstehen. Bei Leitschienen oder Brüstungen dienen für diesen Zweck beispielsweise senkrechte Steher in T- oder U-Form, IPE oder HE, an denen die Leitschiene oder Brüstung montiert wird. Bei schweren Gegenständen, wie beispielsweise Leitschienen, kann es zur Fixierung des Gegenstandes im Hohlkörper erforderlich sein, Schrauben zu verwenden. Leitschienen oder größere schwere Gegenstände können bei einer nicht erfindungsgemäßen Ausführung mit im Hohlkörper selbstbefindlichen Schrauben am Hohlkörper befestigt werden (siehe Beispiele 5 und 6, Fig. 5 un 6).Bei anderen Gegenständen kann es zweckmäßig sein zusätzlich Keile aus Holz oder Kunststoff, oder eine Manschette zur Befestigung zu verwenden (siehe Beispiele 3 und 4, Fig. 3 und 4). Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird der Hohlkörper an dessen oberen Rand mit einer geeigneten Dichtung (siehe Beispiel 1, Fig. 1) versehen, die dazu dient einerseits das Eindringen von Wasser zu verhindern und andererseits durch die Beschaffenheit des Materials, aus dem die Dichtung besteht, den im Hohlkörper befestigten Gegenstand zu fixieren. Geeignete Materialien sind beispielsweise Gummi oder Kunststoffe mit genügender Stoßfestigkeit.Under foundation in the context of the invention, for example, the paved roadway, the sidewalk or square itself, the paved or unpaved edge or median strip of highways, roads or paths to understand the street banquet, a side wall or wall projection. The sinking and firm connection of the hollow body with the foundation can advantageously be done by the hollow body is driven directly into the foundation, for example by means of an air hammer, or walled or concreted into this. The decisive factor is that a solid and definite anchoring is achieved. Preferably, the upper edge of the hollow body is level with the foundation. The outer surface of the hollow body is preferably not smooth, but has a rib or diamond pattern or recesses for better connection of the soil or of the concrete with the foundation. The recesses are filled when sinking in the foundation with the surrounding material, thereby improving the connection of the hollow body with the foundation.
The attachment of the article can be done in the simplest way, characterized in that the internal dimensions of the hollow body are chosen so that it directly surrounds the lower, intended for fixing part of the article and fixed in this way. For the purposes of the invention, the lower part of the article itself, or a holder or a post on which the object can be mounted, is to be understood as the lower part of the article intended for fixing. In the case of guard rails or parapets, vertical uprights in T or U form, IPE or HE, for example, are used for this purpose, on which the guard rail or parapet is mounted. For heavy objects, such as guide rails, it may be necessary to fix the article in the hollow body to use screws. Guide rails or larger heavy objects can be attached to the hollow body in a non-inventive embodiment with selbstbefindlichen screws in the hollow body (see Examples 5 and 6, Fig. 5 and 6). In other objects, it may be useful in addition wedges made of wood or plastic, or a Cuff for attachment to use (see Examples 3 and 4, Fig. 3 and 4). According to a further embodiment of the invention, the hollow body is provided at its upper edge with a suitable seal (see Example 1, Fig. 1), which serves on the one hand to prevent the ingress of water and on the other hand by the nature of the material from which the seal consists of fixing the object fastened in the hollow body. Suitable materials include rubber or plastics with sufficient impact resistance.

Ein weiterer Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung von Gegenständen jeglicher Art, die entlang der Fahrbahn von Autobahnen oder Straßen oder entlang von Wegen, auf oder neben Plätzen jeglicher Art zu deren Begrenzung bzw. Absicherung, zur Regelung oder Kontrolle des Verkehrs, zur Vermittlung von Hinweisen und Informationen, zur Beleuchtung von Straßen oder Wegen, zu Reklamezwecken und dergleichen üblicherweise angebracht werden, bestehend aus dem oben näher beschriebenen Hohlkörper.Another object of the invention is a device for fixing objects of any kind, along the Lane of highways or roads or along paths, on or near squares of any kind to limit or safeguard them, to control or control traffic, to convey clues and information, to illuminate roads or paths, for publicity purposes and the like be composed of the above-described hollow body.

Ein weiterer Gegenstand der Erfindung ist die Verwendung des oben näher beschriebenen Hohlkörpers zur Befestigung von Gegenständen jeglicher Art, die entlang der Fahrbahn von Autobahnen oder Straßen oder entlang von Wegen jeglicher Art, auf oder neben Plätzen zu deren Begrenzung bzw. Absicherung, zur Regelung oder Kontrolle des Verkehrs, zur Vermittlung von Hinweisen und Informationen, zur Beleuchtung von Straßen oder Wegen, zu Reklamezwecken oder dergleichen üblicherweise angebracht werden.Another object of the invention is the use of the above-described hollow body for fixing objects of any kind, along the roadway of highways or roads or along paths of any kind, on or next to places to limit or safeguard, for control or monitoring of traffic, to convey hints and information, to illuminate streets or paths, for advertising purposes or the like are usually attached.

Ein wesentlicher Teil der Erfindung ist in der Tatsache zu sehen, daß die Gegenstände bei Beschädigung auf einfache Weise entfernt und ebenso einfach wieder angebracht werden können, ohne daß das Fundament geöffnet werden muß.An essential part of the invention is to be seen in the fact that the objects can be easily removed in case of damage and just as easily re-attached without the foundation must be opened.

Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, daß die genannten Gegenstände beim Mähen von Seiten- oder Mittelstreifen von Fahrbahnen oder Gehwegen oder bei der Schneeräumung kurzzeitig entfernt und nach Beendigung des Mähvorgangs bzw. der Schneeräumung ebenso einfach wiederangebracht werden können.Another advantage is that the said objects when mowing side or median strips of roads or sidewalks or during snow removal can be removed for a short time and just as easily can be reassembled after completion of the mowing or snow removal.

Schließlich ermöglicht die Erfindung in vorteilhafter Weise die Möglichkeit die Halterungen von Leitschienen in ihrer Höhe beliebig zu verstellen und die Höhe damit an den Straßenverlauf anzugleichen. Ein weiterer beachtlicher Vorteil ist darin zu sehen, daß beispielsweise Leitpflöcke oder Leitschienen bei Unfällen, Veranstaltungen, Baumaßnahmen oder anderen Fällen, in denen eine Umleitung des Verkehrs kurzzeitig erforderlich ist, leicht entfernt oder, falls bereits erfindungsgemäße Hohlkörper an anderen Stellen im Fundament vorgesehen sind, unmittelbar an anderer Stelle wieder angebracht werden können, so daß diese einer Umleitung des Verkehrs nicht im Wege stehen oder der Verkehrsfluß problemlos in eine andere, vorbestimmte Richtung geleitet werden kann.Finally, the invention advantageously makes it possible to adjust the height of the supports of guide rails as desired, and thus to adjust the height to the course of the road. Another considerable advantage is the fact that, for example, pegs or guardrails in accidents, events, construction or other cases in which a diversion of traffic is temporarily required, easily removed or, if already inventive hollow body are provided at other locations in the foundation, can be reattached directly elsewhere, so that they do not interfere with the diversion of traffic or the traffic flow can easily be directed in another, predetermined direction.
