Definitions
- Damper separating element for the realization of delimiting or protective barriers.
- 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.
- the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such a barrier and claimed separator elements which constitute it.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 .
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a separator element traversed by three flexible links or flexible;
- FIG. 3 is the front view of the separator element
- FIG. 8 is a top view showing an articulated barrier resulting from the assembly of several separator elements.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- the separating element 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- the flexible strips 10 may also be constituted by metal strips, for example by a steel strip or the like.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- a flexible damping material 1 preferably consisting of a plastic foam, for example by a polyethylene foam
- 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
- 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.
- one or more orifices 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.
- 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.
