Description

Élément séparateur amortisseur pour Ia réalisation de barrières de délimitation ou de protection.Damper separating element for the realization of delimiting or protective barriers.
La présente invention concerne un élément séparateur ou plot destiné à former une barrière : celle-ci résulte de la juxtaposition les uns à la suite des autres de tels éléments séparateurs par une liaison articulée. Cette barrière est destinée à la délimitation de voies de circulation routière ou de pistes de sports mécaniques, d'aires de stationnement, de quais, de pistes d'aérodromes, etc., ainsi qu'à la protection des usagers, autrement dit des conducteurs, piétons, pilotes, ou spectateurs, notamment par la retenue des véhicules en cas de sortie de piste.The present invention relates to a separator element or pad intended to form a barrier: the latter results from the juxtaposition one after the other of such separator elements by an articulated connection. This barrier is intended for the delimitation of traffic lanes or motor sports tracks, parking areas, wharves, airfield runways, etc., as well as the protection of users, in other words drivers pedestrians, pilots, or spectators, in particular by restraining vehicles in the event of a runway excursion.
L'invention concerne aussi un procédé de fabrication d'une telle barrière et des éléments séparateurs revendiqués qui la constituent.The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such a barrier and claimed separator elements which constitute it.
On a proposé, dans le document WO 99/53145, une barrière destinée aux mêmes applications et qui est constituée d'une pluralité d'éléments séparateurs juxtaposés les uns à la suite des autres et reliés par des sangles souples les traversant. Ces éléments séparateurs présentent une section longitudinale oblongue et comportent une extrémité cylindro-convexe et une extrémité cylindro-concave destinées à former une emboîture articulée avec l'extrémité cylindro-concave et avec l'extrémité cylindro-convexe, respectivement, d'éléments séparateurs voisins, identiques ou semblables. Une particularité de ces éléments séparateurs réside dans le fait qu'ils sont dotés d'un corps creux renfermant un volume d'air sensé remplir la fonction d'amortisseur.It has been proposed in WO 99/53145 a barrier for the same applications and which consists of a plurality of separator elements juxtaposed one after the other and connected by flexible straps through them. These separator elements have an oblong longitudinal section and comprise a cylindro-convex end and a cylindro-concave end intended to form a socket articulated with the cylindro-concave end and with the cylindro-convex end, respectively, of adjacent separating elements. , identical or similar. A particularity of these separating elements lies in the fact that they are provided with a hollow body enclosing a volume of air intended to fulfill the function of damper.
L'amortissement fourni par une barrière constituée de ces éléments séparateurs est cependant moyennement efficace, étant donné que lesdits éléments séparateurs manquent de résistance mécanique. En effet, ceux-ci sont peu appropriés à résister efficacement à des chocs violents entraînés, par exemple, par la sortie de piste d'un véhicule de compétition du type formule 1 : l'éclatement de l'enveloppe de l'élément séparateur est, dans ce cas, inévitable, ce qui réduit à néant sa capacité d'amortissement. Ainsi, si les éléments séparateurs et la barrière articulée proposés dans le document WO 99/53145 sont utiles pour la délimitation de voies de circulation routière et la protection des pilotes et des spectateurs dans certaines compétitions de sports mécaniques telles que les courses de karts où les engins sont légers, ils sont peu efficaces dans le cadre de sports mécaniques impliquant des véhicules puissants et plus lourds, tels que, par exemple, les automobiles, les motos, les camions et plus particulièrement, les voitures de formule 1.The damping provided by a barrier consisting of these separator elements is however moderately effective, since said separator elements lack mechanical strength. Indeed, these are not appropriate to effectively withstand violent shocks caused, for example, by the exit of a race track race of the type of formula 1: the bursting of the envelope of the separator element is in this case, inevitable, which reduces to nothing its depreciation capacity. Thus, if the separating elements and the articulated barrier proposed in WO 99/53145 are useful for the delimitation of traffic lanes and the protection of pilots and spectators in certain motor sports competitions such as kart races where The machines are light, they are not very effective in the context of motorsports involving powerful and heavier vehicles, such as, for example, automobiles, motorcycles, trucks and more particularly, cars of Formula 1.
L'invention propose de solutionner ce problème par la réalisation d'un élément séparateur dont les propriétés mécaniques, et plus particulièrement les performances d'amortissement et de résistance aux chocs, sont grandement améliorées.The invention proposes to solve this problem by producing a separator element whose mechanical properties, and more particularly the damping performance and impact resistance, are greatly improved.
L'objectif est atteint, selon l'invention, avec un élément séparateur présentant une section horizontale oblongue et comprenant une enveloppe, de préférence en matière plastique, souple ou flexible, dans la partie médiane de laquelle est logé un renfort central ou noyau creux, de préférence métallique, réalisé sous forme de fourreau aplati s'étendant d'une extrémité à l'autre dudit élément, ladite enveloppe et ledit renfort central tubulaire délimitant des espaces remplis ou destinés à être remplis par un matériau amortisseur.The object is achieved, according to the invention, with a separating element having an oblong horizontal section and comprising an envelope, preferably of flexible or flexible plastic material, in the middle part of which is housed a central reinforcement or hollow core, preferably metal, in the form of a flattened sheath extending from one end to the other of said element, said casing and said tubular central reinforcement defining spaces filled or to be filled with a damping material.
La résistance mécanique et les capacités d'amortissement de l'élément séparateur se trouvent ainsi hautement accrues. Une barrière équipée des éléments séparateurs selon l'invention permet d'encaisser et d'amortir des chocs violents, tels que ceux pouvant se produire, par exemple lors des sorties de piste, dans les courses automobiles de formule 1.The mechanical strength and damping capabilities of the separator element are thus greatly increased. A barrier equipped with the separating elements according to the invention makes it possible to absorb and dampen violent shocks, such as those that may occur, for example during runway excursions, in racing cars of formula 1.
Selon un mode d'exécution préféré, l'enveloppe et aussi, de préférence, le noyau creux aplati de l'élément séparateur revendiqué sont remplis d'un matériau amortisseur, de préférence constitué par une mousse plastique, par exemple par une mousse de polyéthylène.According to a preferred embodiment, the envelope and also, preferably, the flattened hollow core of the claimed separator element are filled with a damping material, preferably constituted by a plastic foam, for example by a polyethylene foam .
La présence de ce matériau souple dans l'élément séparateur améliore encore l'amortissement de chocs et réduit, par conséquent, les risques de dommages que peut entraîner un heurt violent, résultant, par exemple, de la sortie de route ou de piste d'un véhicule. Selon un mode d'exécution avantageux, l'élément séparateur selon l'invention comporte au moins deux passages ou orifices superposés ménagés dans chacune de ses extrémités, lesdits passages autorisant la traversée dudit élément par au moins deux liens superposés, de préférence constitués par des sangles souples ou par des bandes métalliques flexibles permettant de le relier à un ensemble d'éléments séparateurs identiques ou semblables disposés les uns à la suite des autres pour la réalisation d'une barrière articulée.The presence of this flexible material in the separator element further improves shock absorption and therefore reduces the risk of damage that can result from a violent impact, resulting, for example, from the exit of road or track of a vehicle. According to an advantageous embodiment, the separator element according to the invention comprises at least two superimposed passages or orifices formed in each of its ends, said passages permitting the crossing of said element by at least two superposed links, preferably constituted by flexible straps or flexible metal strips for connecting it to a set of identical or similar separating elements arranged one after the other for the realization of an articulated barrier.
Selon un autre mode d'exécution, les extrémités du noyau creux aplati sont agencées pour permettre la fixation d'au moins deux et de préférence, de trois attaches métalliques flexibles superposées, de préférence exécutées sous forme de bandes plates, permettant de relier les éléments séparateurs entre eux.According to another embodiment, the ends of the flattened hollow core are arranged to allow the attachment of at least two and preferably three superimposed flexible metal fasteners, preferably in the form of flat strips, for connecting the elements. separators between them.
Selon un mode de réalisation intéressant, les éléments séparateurs selon l'invention comportent, chacun, une extrémité cylindro-convexe et une extrémité cylindro-concave, de sorte qu'ils peuvent être aboutés et emboîtés les uns à la suite des autres par lesdites extrémités qui forment une emboîture articulée ou articulation cylindrique avec l'extrémité cylindro-concave et avec l'extrémité cylindro-convexe, respectivement, d'éléments séparateurs voisins.According to an interesting embodiment, the separator elements according to the invention each comprise a cylindro-convex end and a cylindro-concave end, so that they can be joined and nested one after the other by said ends. which form an articulated socket or cylindrical articulation with the cylindro-concave end and with the cylindro-convex end, respectively, of neighboring separating elements.
Le transport et la manutention des éléments séparateurs sur le lieu d'installation des barrières peuvent cependant être rendu difficiles lorsque ceux-ci sont remplis d'une matière amortisseuse, comme c'est le cas pour les éléments séparateurs proposés par l'invention : leur poids est en effet sensiblement supérieur à celui, par exemple, d'éléments séparateurs comprenant seulement un corps creux.The transport and handling of the separating elements at the place of installation of the barriers can however be made difficult when they are filled with a damping material, as is the case for the separating elements proposed by the invention: their weight is indeed substantially greater than that, for example, of separating elements comprising only a hollow body.
Le procédé de fabrication des éléments séparateurs selon l'invention se propose d'écarter cette difficulté afin de faciliter la manutention et le transport desdits éléments.The method of manufacturing the separator elements according to the invention proposes to eliminate this difficulty in order to facilitate the handling and transportation of said elements.
Ce but est atteint au moyen d'un procédé de fabrication remarquable en ce qu'il consiste à produire un élément comprenant l'enveloppe et le renfort central creux en usine, par exemple par rotomoulage, tandis que l'introduction de la matière souple dans l'espace intérieur libre dudit élément séparateur est réalisée, par exemple par injection, sur les lieux d'assemblage et de positionnement de la barrière, après la mise en place des liens souples ou flexibles assurant la liaison des éléments.This object is achieved by means of a remarkable manufacturing process in that it consists in producing an element comprising the envelope and the central hollow reinforcement at the factory, for example by rotational molding, while the introduction of the flexible material in the free inner space of said separator element is made, for example by injection, at the assembly and positioning of the barrier, after the establishment of flexible links or flexible connecting the elements.
Ce procédé est particulièrement avantageux dans le sens où il facilite la manutention et le transport des éléments séparateurs jusqu'au lieu destiné à accueillir la barrière. De même, le travail de positionnement manuel des éléments séparateurs les uns à la suite des autres, avant leur assemblage par l'insertion des liens souples ou flexibles pour former la barrière, sera moins contraignant.This method is particularly advantageous in that it facilitates the handling and transport of the separating elements to the place intended to accommodate the barrier. Similarly, the manual positioning of the separator elements one after the other, before assembly by the insertion of flexible or flexible links to form the barrier, will be less restrictive.
Les buts, caractéristiques et avantages ci-dessus, et d'autres encore, ressortiront mieux de la description qui suit et des dessins annexés illustrant un exemple intéressant, quoique nullement limitatif, de mise en œuvre de l'élément séparateur et de son procédé de fabrication selon l'invention, et dans lesquels :The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages will become more apparent from the following description and the accompanying drawings illustrating an interesting, albeit by no means limiting, example of the implementation of the separator element and its method of manufacture according to the invention, and in which:

On se reporte auxdits dessins pour décrire un exemple de réalisation avantageux, quoique nullement limitatif, d'un élément séparateur amortisseur et d'une barrière de protection ou de délimitation réalisés selon l'invention.Referring to said drawings to describe an advantageous embodiment, although not limiting, a damping separator element and a protective barrier or delimitation made according to the invention.
Cet élément séparateur amortisseur 1 comprend une enveloppe 3 souple présentant une section horizontale oblongue et dans la partie médiane de laquelle est disposé un noyau ou renfort central creux 2 réalisé sous forme de gaine aplatie par exemple de section rectangulaire et s'étendant pratiquement d'une extrémité à l'autre dudit élément 1 , ladite enveloppe souple 3 et ledit renfort central tubulaire aplati 2 délimitant des espaces remplis ou destinés à être remplis par un matériau amortisseur 11.This damping separator element 1 comprises a flexible envelope 3 having an oblong horizontal section and in the middle part of which is disposed a core or hollow central reinforcement 2 made in the form of a flattened sheath for example of rectangular section and extending substantially from one end to the other of said element 1, said flexible envelope 3 and said flattened tubular central reinforcement 2 delimiting spaces filled or intended to be filled with a damping material 11.
L'enveloppe 3 peut être exécutée dans une matière souple et flexible, de préférence non frangible, par exemple en polyéthylène basse densité qui, outre ses qualités susmentionnées, possède la propriété de se déchirer proprement en cas de rupture, en évitant son craquèlement ou sa fragmentation. L'épaisseur de l'enveloppe peut varier en fonction de la destination des éléments séparateurs ; elle peut, par exemple, être comprise entre 5 et 8 mm.The envelope 3 may be made of a flexible and flexible material, preferably non-breakable, for example of low density polyethylene which, in addition to its aforementioned qualities, has the property of tearing cleanly in case of breakage, avoiding cracking or cracking. fragmentation. The thickness of the envelope may vary depending on the destination of the separator elements; it may, for example, be between 5 and 8 mm.
Le renfort 2 est avantageusement exécuté en métal, de préférence en acier, pour offrir une bonne résistance mécanique aux chocs. Il peut présenter une épaisseur et une largeur variables en fonction de la destination des éléments séparateurs ; à titre d'exemples seulement, il peut présenter une épaisseur de l'ordre- de 2 à 5 mm et une largeur de l'ordre de 1 à 10 cm. Il s'étend approximativement sur toute la hauteur de l'élément.The reinforcement 2 is advantageously made of metal, preferably steel, to provide good mechanical impact resistance. It may have a thickness and a width that vary depending on the destination of the separator elements; by way of example only, it may have a thickness of the order of 2 to 5 mm and a width of the order of 1 to 10 cm. It extends approximately the entire height of the element.
Le renfort central 2 est incorporé à l'enveloppe 3, lors de la réalisation de cette dernière, par exemple par un procédé de rotomoulage connu en soi.The central reinforcement 2 is incorporated in the envelope 3, during the production of the latter, for example by a rotational molding process known per se.
L'élément séparateur 1 ainsi obtenu, possède, par exemple, une hauteur de l'ordre de 1200 mm, une longueur de 1500 mm et une largeur de 600 mm.The separator element 1 thus obtained has, for example, a height of the order of 1200 mm, a length of 1500 mm and a width of 600 mm.
L'enveloppe 3 comprend des bases inférieure et supérieure comportant, par exemple, une large nervure oblongue 4 ; ces nervures 4 ont pour intérêt, d'une part, de renforcer la rigidité de ladite enveloppe 3 et, d'autre part, de pouvoir intégrer, par exemple, un logo ou autre signe distinctif.The envelope 3 comprises lower and upper bases comprising, for example, a wide oblong rib 4; these ribs 4 have the advantage, on the one hand, to strengthen the rigidity of said envelope 3 and, on the other hand, to be able to integrate, for example, a logo or other distinctive sign.
L'enveloppe 3, c'est-à-dire l'élément séparateur 1 , comprend une extrémité cylindro-convexe 5 et une extrémité cylindro-concave 6 présentant un rayon identique, raccordées par deux grandes faces latérales planes et parallèles 7. De la sorte, il est possible d'abouter et d'emboîter une pluralité d'éléments séparateurs identiques ou semblables 1A, 1 B, 1C, ... , 1N, les uns à la suite des autres, pour constituer une barrière de délimitation ou de protection, les extrémités cylindro-convexe 5 et cylindro-concave 6 de chaque élément séparateur intermédiaire formant, ainsi, une emboîture articulée ou articulation cylindrique avec l'extrémité cylindro-concave et avec l'extrémité cylindro- convexe, respectivement, des deux éléments séparateurs identiques ou semblables entre lesquels il se trouve placé.The envelope 3, that is to say the separating element 1, comprises a cylindro-convex end 5 and a cylindro-concave end 6 having an identical radius, connected by two large flat and parallel lateral faces 7. In this way, it is possible to abut and nest a plurality of identical or similar separating elements 1A, 1B, 1C, ..., 1N, one after the other, to form a delimiting barrier or of protection, the cylindro-convex and cylindro-concave ends 6 of each intermediate separating element forming, thus, an articulated socket or cylindrical articulation with the cylindro-concave end and with the cylindro-convex end, respectively, of the two identical or similar separating elements between which it is placed.
Selon le mode d'exécution avantageux retenu, à titre d'exemple, pour l'exposé et l'illustration de l'invention, chacune des deux extrémités 5 et 6 de l'élément séparateur amortisseur possède au moins deux et, de préférence, trois passages ou orifices, respectivement 8 et 9, de préférence, superposés et espacés à des intervalles réguliers, et de forme rectangulaire verticale, disposés dans le plan vertical médian P-P de l'élément séparateur 1 : ces passages ou orifices 8 et 9 permettent la traversée de l'enveloppe 3 et du renfort 2 par trois liens souples ou flexibles, avantageusement et, de préférence, constitués par des sangles ou par des bandes plates 10. Ces bandes ou sangles peuvent avantageusement présenter une largeur de l'ordre de 50 mm et sont disposées de sorte que leur largeur se trouve placée dans un plan vertical ou sensiblement vertical, comme le montre notamment la figure 1.According to the advantageous embodiment chosen, for example, for the presentation and illustration of the invention, each of the two ends 5 and 6 of the damping separator element has at least two, and preferably three passages or orifices, respectively 8 and 9, preferably superposed and spaced at regular intervals, and of vertical rectangular shape, arranged in the median vertical plane PP of the separator element 1: these passages or orifices 8 and 9 allow the through the envelope 3 and the reinforcement 2 by three flexible or flexible links, advantageously and, preferably, constituted by straps or flat strips 10. These strips or straps may advantageously have a width of about 50 mm and are arranged so that their width is placed in a vertical or substantially vertical plane, as shown in particular in Figure 1.
Les sangles souples peuvent être exécutées en fibres ou textiles synthétiques, tels que polyamides, polyesters ou autres, et elles sont dotées, dans ce cas, d'une certaine capacité d'étirement jouant un rôle dans l'amortissement des chocs.The flexible straps can be made of synthetic fibers or textiles, such as polyamides, polyesters or others, and they are provided, in this case, with a certain stretching capacity playing a role in shock absorption.
Les bandes flexibles 10 peuvent aussi être constituées par des bandes métalliques, par exemple par un feuillard d'acier ou autre.The flexible strips 10 may also be constituted by metal strips, for example by a steel strip or the like.
Les orifices 8 ou 9 sont disposés l'un à proximité du bord supérieur de l'élément, un autre à proximité de la base de celui-ci et le troisième à mi-hauteur dudit élément. De la sorte, lorsqu'elles sont en place, les sangles ou bandes plates 10 couvrent toute la hauteur de la barrière et on supprime ainsi toute tendance à la rotation des éléments ou vrillage de la barrière en cas de choc. Les sangles ou bandes plates 10 permettent de relier une pluralité d'éléments séparateurs identiques ou semblables 1A, 1 B, 1C, ..., 1 N, emboîtés les uns à la suite des autres pour la réalisation d'une barrière articulée de délimitation ou de protection (figure 8) dont la conformation peut être adaptée rapidement et facilement aux besoins.The orifices 8 or 9 are arranged one near the upper edge of the element, another near the base thereof and the third halfway up said element. In this way, when they are in place, the straps or flat strips 10 cover the entire height of the barrier and thus eliminates any tendency to the rotation of the elements or kinking of the barrier in case of impact. The straps or flat strips 10 make it possible to connect a plurality of identical or similar separating elements 1A, 1B, 1C, ..., 1N, nested one after the other for the production of an articulated barrier of delimitation. or protection (Figure 8) whose conformation can be adapted quickly and easily to the needs.
Suivant une variante de réalisation (non illustrée), les extrémités du noyau creux aplati ou renfort central 2 sont agencées pour permettre la fixation, par exemple de manière amovible, d'attaches métalliques flexibles, de préférence exécutées sous forme de bandes plates, permettant de relier les éléments entre eux et dont les extrémités sont conformées de façon complémentaire, pour permettre cette fixation. La fixation de ces attaches métalliques flexibles sur deux éléments successifs peut, par exemple, s'opérer par boulonnage ou autre moyen d'assemblage.According to an alternative embodiment (not shown), the ends of the flattened hollow core or central reinforcement 2 are arranged to allow the fixing, for example in a removable manner, of flexible metal fasteners, preferably made in the form of flat strips, making it possible to connecting the elements together and whose ends are shaped in a complementary manner, to allow this attachment. Fixing these flexible metal fasteners on two successive elements can, for example, be done by bolting or other means of assembly.
L'élément séparateur 1 comprend enfin un matériau amortisseur souple 1 1 , de préférence constitué par une mousse plastique, par exemple par une mousse de polyéthylène, remplissant l'espace libre entre l'enveloppe 3 et le renfort 2 ; comme le montrent les figures 6 et 7, L'espace interne du renfort 2 peut également être rempli de ce matériau amortisseur souple 11 , notamment dans le cas où ledit renfort 2 possède une largeur supérieure à 5 cm.The separating element 1 finally comprises a flexible damping material 1 1, preferably consisting of a plastic foam, for example by a polyethylene foam, filling the free space between the casing 3 and the reinforcement 2; as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the inner space of the reinforcement 2 may also be filled with this flexible damping material 11, especially in the case where said reinforcement 2 has a width greater than 5 cm.
On a indiqué précédemment que selon un exemple de mise en oeuvre du procédé de l'invention, on propose de réaliser, dans une première étape, un élément comprenant l'enveloppe 3 et le renfort central tubulaire aplati 2, en usine, par exemple par un procédé de rotomoulage, tandis que la seconde étape consistant à remplir l'enveloppe 3 et le noyau creux 2 d'un matériau amortisseur 11 est réalisée, par exemple par injection, "in situ" c'est-à-dire sur les lieux d'assemblage et de positionnement de la barrière, après mise en place des liens souples ou flexibles de liaison 10.It has previously been indicated that according to an exemplary implementation of the method of the invention, it is proposed to produce, in a first step, an element comprising the casing 3 and the flattened tubular central reinforcement 2, at the factory, for example by a rotational molding process, while the second step of filling the casing 3 and the hollow core 2 of a damping material 11 is carried out, for example by injection, "in situ" that is to say on the premises assembly and positioning of the barrier, after establishment of the flexible links or flexible connection 10.
Pour l'exécution de cette deuxième étape, les éléments séparateurs sont d'abord disposés les uns à la suite des autres, puis les sangles 10 sont insérées à travers chacun d'entre eux, autrement dit à travers les passages ou orifices 8 etFor the execution of this second step, the separating elements are first arranged one after the other, then the straps 10 are inserted through each of them, in other words through the passages or orifices 8 and
9, de sorte qu'elles traversent longitudinalement le renfort 2 et l'enveloppe 3 de chaque élément séparateur 1 , les extrémités dudit renfort présentant, à cet effet, une ouverture commune ou des ouvertures individuelles, permettant le passage des sangles entre les grandes faces verticales de ce dernier.9, so that they pass longitudinally through the reinforcement 2 and the envelope 3 of each separator element 1, the ends of said reinforcement having, for this purpose, a common opening or individual openings, allowing the passage of the straps between the large vertical faces thereof.
On introduit enfin le matériau amortisseur souple 11 dans l'élément séparateur 1 par injection à travers un ou plusieurs orifices (non représentés) ménagés dans l'enveloppe 3, de préférence dans sa paroi supérieure. Lorsque cela est souhaité, un ou plusieurs orifices (non représentés) sont ménagés dans une des parois dudit renfort 2, de préférence dans sa paroi supérieure, pour permettre la pénétration dudit matériau amortisseur souple 11 jusque dans l'espace intérieur dudit renfort 2. Cette injection est réalisée, de préférence, sous pression afin que l'amortissement assuré par le matériau amortisseur souple 11 soit optimal en cas de choc.Lastly, the flexible damping material 11 is introduced into the separator element 1 by injection through one or more orifices (not shown) formed in the envelope 3, preferably in its upper wall. When desired, one or more orifices (not shown) are formed in one of the walls of said reinforcement 2, preferably in its upper wall, to allow the penetration of said soft damping material 11 into the interior space of said reinforcement 2. injection is preferably carried out under pressure so that the damping provided by the flexible damping material 11 is optimal in the event of impact.
On conçoit qu'il est possible de monter, aisément et rapidement, des barrières ou des portions de barrières constituées d'une pluralité d'éléments, par exemple d'une trentaine d'éléments assemblés les uns à la suite des autres, les portions de barrière ainsi obtenues pouvant être elles-mêmes assemblées au moyen de tendeurs connus en soi.It is conceivable that it is possible to mount, easily and quickly, barriers or portions of barriers consisting of a plurality of elements, for example thirty or so elements assembled one after the other, the portions barrier thus obtained can themselves be assembled by means of tensioners known per se.
Grâce à la jonction des éléments séparateurs au moyen d'une articulation cylindrique ou genou, ces derniers peuvent avoir des inclinaisons variées les uns par rapport aux autres, de sorte qu'il est possible d'installer rapidement des barrières de protection rectilignes ou courbes ayant des rayons plus ou moins courts, par exemple en fonction du tracé des pistes ou circuits. Thanks to the junction of the separating elements by means of a cylindrical articulation or knee, the latter can have varied inclinations with respect to each other, so that it is possible to quickly install rectilinear or curved protection barriers having more or less short rays, for example depending on the layout of the tracks or circuits.
