Definitions
- the invention relates to a connecting structure for a traffic pole, such as a lamp post, composed of two pole parts, comprising connecting pieces which can each be connected to a pole part in such a manner that the connecting pieces and pole parts are in line with one another, which connecting pieces are each provided with an end face and a connecting part which can be connected to a pole part, a mounting flange having recesses opening into a periphery thereof and a mounting face, which mounting face is turned away from the associated end face, as well as clamping members which are accommodated in recesses which are aligned with respect to one another and which are supported on mounting faces which are turned away from one another in such a manner that the end faces of the connecting pieces are pushed together.
- a connecting structure of this type is known from GB-A-1,087,073 and US2005/0284999 .
- both pole parts have external, more or less square or triangular flanges, respectively. Cutouts are provided on the four and three corners, respectively, of these flanges, in which bolt connections are accommodated.
- the bolt connections clamp the flanges together at a predetermined force. This clamping force is such that the pole remains intact under normal circumstances, but can shear under the effect of collision forces.
- the upper section of the pole is thus able to yield and can then fall over.
- the aim of such a procedure is to limit the collision forces to which a vehicle colliding with the pole is subjected. The passengers in the vehicle are thus subjected to accelerations which are less high, thereby reducing the risk of injuries.
- the drawback of this known pole is that the attachment means which are provided externally may be dangerous. They form projections which may penetrate into a colliding vehicle, so that the vehicle may be decelerated considerably as a result of hook effects. As a result, passengers run the risk of still being injured. In addition, due to the fact that they are arranged externally, the attachment means are exposed to weather conditions, as a result of which the reliability thereof in the long term cannot be reliably ensured.
- a further drawback is the fact that the presence of the flanges on the exterior of the pole may form an obstacle when providing a so-called ground-level protection and/or an obligatory base-part protection and/or the protection for that part of the pole which extends into the ground, which protection, according to the regulations, has to extend approximately 25 cm above ground level.
- Another drawback is also the fact that the directional sensitivity of the known connecting structure is relatively high, depending on the direction of mounting between the connecting pieces.
- This object is achieved by the fact that the recesses open into the inner periphery of the mounting flanges.
- Providing the recesses on the inner periphery of the mounting flanges has the advantage that the exterior of the connecting structure does not have any irregularities or sharp edges, so that the danger of a cutting action or hook action is significantly reduced.
- the parts which are critical to the correct functioning of the connecting structure can be more readily protected against outside influences.
- the base-part protection which extends across the connecting structure ensures that the respective parts are invisible from the outside.
- the advantage thereof is also that poles provided with such a connecting structure are less susceptible to vandalism.
- the recesses flare out, for example in accordance with a V shape.
- washer discs are preferably provided between each mounting face and clamping member. These washer discs may also be designed in such a manner that they flare out, viewed in the direction of the inner periphery of the mounting faces. The effect of these flaring shapes is that, viewed in the peripheral direction, it becomes less critical where a vehicle collides with the pole. This effect is reinforced by the use of a relatively large number of clamping members, for example 8, 10 or 12.
- the connecting pieces each have holders which project with respect to the mounting faces of the mounting flanges, between which holders the washer discs are accommodated.
- two adjacent holders can then determine a holder space for the associated washer disc, which holder space flares out in the direction of the inner periphery of the mounting flanges.
- the washer discs which shear off under the effect of collision forces can readily be guided.
- the holder space in which the washer disc is enclosed provides greater stability to the connecting structure during normal use, so that the pole is able to withstand normal loads, such as those caused by the wind and the like.
- the mounting faces at adjacent recesses form steps.
- adjacent washer discs of a connecting piece can be at different levels.
- a friction means such as one or more friction rings, may be provided between the mounting faces, which results in a low, controlled friction.
- two rings lying on top of one another are provided which cause a reliable and long-lasting nominal shearing force between them.
- the connecting pieces may each have a reinforcing flange at a distance from the end face.
- the connecting pieces, at their ends which face one another, may each comprise a collar which projects with respect to the sleeve and which determines a stop for a pole part which can be placed over the sleeve.
- the connecting pieces may comprise a sleeve, in which case the mounting flanges are situated on the inside of the sleeve.
- the connecting pieces may be rotationally symmetrical and are preferably made of aluminium castings.
- a connecting piece may be provided with a reinforcing flange at a distance from the end face. Said reinforcing flange is preferably at the level of impact, in such a manner that the collision forces can reliably be passed on to the end faces without the connecting pieces breaking prematurely.
- the connecting pieces may be rotationally symmetrical.
- alignment means may be provided for aligning the connecting pieces and the recesses with respect to one another.
- a friction means such as one or more friction rings, may be provided between the end faces. At least one of the friction rings may have recesses which open into the inner periphery thereof, in which recesses a bolt is accommodated in each case.
- a connecting piece may have a reinforcing flange at a distance from the end face.
- the connecting pieces may be identical.
- the pole parts may be connected to the connecting pieces by an adhesive connection.
- the area of the pole parts adjacent to the connecting structure and the connecting structure may be covered by a base-part protection.
- the invention also relates to a traffic pole having pole parts which are in line with one another and which are connected to one another by a connecting structure as described above.
- the pole parts are connected to the connecting pieces by an adhesive connection. This prevents local weakened sections being formed by, for example, welding, which may give cause corrosion and fatigue phenomena.
- One of the pole parts or the so-called base part is designed to be installed on or in a foundation, in such a manner that the connecting structure is situated at a slight distance above the ground level of the area in which the foundation is situated, which is preferably approximately 5 cm.
- the connecting structure Since the flanges and the clamping members are situated inside the connecting structure, the latter may be designed in such a manner that the peripheral contour thereof is identical to the peripheral contour of the pole parts. This results in a very uniform appearance, which is not susceptible to soiling and does not have any dangerous protruding parts.
- the lamp post 1 illustrated in Fig. 1 comprises a lower pole part 3 and an upper pole part 2, which are connected to one another by the connecting structure 4 according to the invention.
- the lower pole part 3 has its foundation in the ground 5, the upper pole part 2 carries a lighting fixture 6. Nevertheless, the connecting structure 4 can also be used with other poles, which are at risk of vehicles colliding with them.
- Fig. 2 shows the connecting structure 4 on an enlarged scale.
- the connecting structure 4 comprises two connecting pieces 7, 8 which are identical in the illustrated exemplary embodiment.
- Each connecting piece 7, 8 has a connecting part 9 which can be attached to a respective pole part 2, 3.
- each connecting piece has a collar 10 and end faces 11 which are turned towards one another at the collar 10. Between the end faces 11, a friction ring or a couple of friction rings 12 may be provided which may produce a certain shearing force.
- each bolt connection 13 comprises a bolt 14, a nut 15 and washer discs 16 under the head of the bolt and under the nut 15.
- These bolt connections 13 are accommodated in the V-shaped recesses 17 which expand towards the inside and which are provided in each connecting piece 7, 8, namely in the inner mounting flange 18 thereof.
- At least one of the friction rings 12 is provided with undercut recesses 24 on the inner periphery.
- the shank of a bolt 14 can be inserted or pushed into these recesses 24, and subsequently held therein. This results in a certain stabilization of the bolt connections 16 which prevents the bolt connections from being displaced as a result of, for example, vibrations.
- the recesses 24 are designed in such a manner that the bolt connections 16 can be forced out of the recesses under the effect of a collision.
- Each mounting flange 18 has a series of mounting faces 19 for the bolt connections 13, in particular for the washer discs 16 thereof. As can be seen in Figs. 3 and 4 , the washer discs 16 are also designed to flare out. Furthermore, the flanges 18 are provided with so-called holders 20, which protrude relative to the mounting faces 19. The mounting faces 19 which are adjacent to one another are situated at different levels, viewed in the axial direction of the connecting structure 4, as can be seen in the perspective view of Fig. 4 and the side view of Fig. 2 .
- two adjacent holders 20 determine a holder space 21, the bottom of which is formed by a mounting face 19.
- a correspondingly shaped washer disc 16 fits into this holder space 21 and on the mounting face 19 in a tight-fitting manner.
- the flared shape of the holder space 19 and of the recesses 17 in this case ensures that, in relative terms, it is not critical where a vehicle hits the connecting structure 4, viewed in the peripheral direction, with regard to the shearing direction. As has been discussed above, the relatively large number of bolt connections 16 is important in this connection.
- the connecting pieces 7, 8, and in particular the recesses 17 thereof, may be aligned with respect to one another by means of alignment means 22, such as a tenon-mortise joint.
- alignment means 22 such as a tenon-mortise joint.
- a reinforcing flange 23 may be provided on the upper end of the upper connecting piece 7, by means of which the collision energy can be withstood in such a manner that correct shearing can be achieved.
- the connecting structure 4 and the adjacent sections of the pole parts 2, 3 may be covered with a so-called base-part protection 26.
- the latter can be provided without any problems as the connecting structure 4 does not have any parts which protrude outside the contours of the pole 1.
- the connecting structure 4 is hidden from view, so that the risk of vandalism is reduced to a minimum.
- the connecting structure 4, in particular the end faces 11 thereof are at a height of approximately 5 cm above the ground.
- a very low stump 3 remains in the ground after the upper pole part 2 has sheared off, which stump presents only a very low-risk danger to the colliding vehicle.
- a height of 5 cm is so small that the vehicle cannot be decelerated thereby and cannot become caught behind such a low stump.
