Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

La présente invention concerne le domaine général de la signalisation et plus particulièrement un support pour la fixation d'un poteau de signalisation.The present invention relates to the general field of signaling and more particularly to a support for the fixing of a signal pole.

L'invention trouve une application privilégiée mais non limitative dans les panneaux de signalisation routière.The invention finds a preferred but non-limiting application in road signs.

Technique antérieurePrior art

Dans le domaine de la signalisation notamment routière, on connaît bien des panneaux de signalisation constitués d'une plaque métallique de forme quelconque, triangulaire ou ronde par exemple, procurant un subjectile recevant sur la face frontale un décor tel qu'un symbole ou un pictogramme montrant une signalisation routière, par exemple. Ce type de panneau de signalisation est de manière classique associé à un montant vertical du type poteau, avantageusement tubulaire, ancré dans le sol ou solidaire d'un support fixé sur le sol. Cet ensemble ainsi constitué est disposé au bord immédiat d'une voie de circulation et permet d'indiquer de façon claire une direction ou encore un lieu, par exemple.In the field of signaling including road, are well known signs consisting of a metal plate of any shape, triangular or round for example, providing a substrate receiving on the front a decor such as a symbol or pictogram showing road signs, for example. This type of sign is conventionally associated with a vertical post-type upright, preferably tubular, anchored in the ground or secured to a support fixed on the ground. This assembly thus formed is disposed at the immediate edge of a traffic lane and allows to clearly indicate a direction or a place, for example.

Toutefois, ce type d'ensemble représente un danger pour la sécurité des passagers embarqués dans un véhicule lors d'un impact de ce dernier sur ledit ensemble. En effet, la majorité des accidents corporels sont liés au comportement inadapté lors d'un choc des obstacles latéraux, tels que des arbres, glissières ou poteaux, implantés au bord immédiat d'une voie de circulation.However, this type of assembly represents a danger to the safety of passengers on board a vehicle during an impact of the latter on said assembly. Indeed, the majority of bodily accidents are related to inappropriate behavior during a collision of lateral obstacles, such as trees, slides or poles, located at the immediate edge of a traffic lane.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, il existe plusieurs solutions.To overcome this disadvantage, there are several solutions.

La première solution consiste à implanter les ensembles poteau et panneau de signalisation hors des zones de danger, c'est-à-dire à 4 ou 5 mètres du bord de la voie de circulation. Toutefois, cette solution, qui est facile à mettre en oeuvre, rend la signalisation peu efficace car peu lisible dans la mesure où elle éloigne les panneaux de la voie de circulation et de ses usagers.The first solution is to install the pole and sign assemblies out of the danger zones, that is to say 4 or 5 meters from the edge of the track. of circulation. However, this solution, which is easy to implement, makes the signaling inefficient because not very legible insofar as it removes the panels of the taxiway and its users.

La deuxième solution consiste à implanter les ensembles poteau et panneau de signalisation derrière une glissière de sécurité disposée le long de la voie de circulation. Cette solution est très efficace mais nécessite la mise en place d'une glissière de sécurité particulièrement onéreuse et représentant un réel danger pour les conducteurs de 2 roues en cas de sortie de route.The second solution is to install the post and signal panel assemblies behind a guardrail positioned along the taxiway. This solution is very effective but requires the implementation of a particularly expensive safety slide and a real danger for drivers of 2 wheels in case of road exit.

Enfin, on connait aussi une troisième solution consistant en la mise en place du poteau de signalisation sur un support à sécurité passive (SSP), également nommés "fusibles". Cette solution est par ailleurs autorisée par l'arrêté du 9 Avril 2015, publié au Journal Officiel du 18 avril 2015 , qui marque notamment la fin en France des démarches administratives pour les gestionnaires des routes et insiste sur la nécessité d'installer des supports fusibles sur tout le réseau routier français afin de lutter contre l'insécurité routière et de minimiser la gravité des accidents.Finally, there is also a third solution consisting of the establishment of the signaling post on a passive safety support (SSP), also called "fuses". This solution is also authorized by the decree of 9 April 2015, published in Official Journal of 18 April 2015 , which marks the end in France of administrative procedures for road managers and insists on the need to install fusible supports throughout the French road network in order to combat road safety and minimize the severity of accidents.

L'objectif des SSP, tels que celui décrit dans le modèle d'utilité allemand DE 20 2004 019569 , est d'absorber l'énergie générée par un choc avec un véhicule de manière à se casser, se déformer ou s'éjecter lors dudit choc afin de ne plus constituer un obstacle pour le véhicule : ce dernier n'étant plus stoppé dans sa course et les conséquences en termes d'impact pour les occupants dudit véhicule étant alors fortement réduites. Les SSP sont classés selon au moins les trois critères suivants : la vitesse maximale d'impact, la quantité maximale d'énergie absorbée et la direction de l'impact.The purpose of SSPs, such as the one described in the German utility model DE 20 2004 019569 , is to absorb the energy generated by a shock with a vehicle so as to break, deform or eject during said shock so as not to constitute an obstacle for the vehicle: the latter is no longer stopped in its race and the consequences in terms of impact for the occupants of the vehicle being then greatly reduced. SSPs are classified according to at least the following three criteria: the maximum impact speed, the maximum amount of energy absorbed and the direction of impact.

Ainsi, on connait déjà un SSP comprenant un mât muni d'une partie inférieure fusible, en forme de structure en treillis en aluminium, ancrée au sol et apte à se déformer et à céder lors d'un choc. Ce mât, qui fléchit pour absorber l'énergie puis se sectionne à sa base, n'est pas projeté et retombe sur le lieu de la collision garantissant la sécurité des passagers du véhicule accidenté et des voitures circulant autour de l'accident. Toutefois, ce type de SSP est particulièrement onéreux à réaliser et encombrant en hauteur, la structure en treillis mesurant environ deux mètres de haut.Thus, we already know an SSP comprising a mast provided with a fusible lower part, in the form of an aluminum lattice structure, anchored to the ground and able to deform and to yield during an impact. This mast, which flexes to absorb energy and then cuts off at its base, is not projected and falls back to the crash site ensuring the safety of the passengers of the accident vehicle and cars circulating around the accident. However, this type of SSP is particularly expensive to produce and bulky in height, the trellis structure measuring about two meters high.

Sur la figure 1, on a représenté le support 1 à sécurité passive, selon l'invention, posant sur le sol 2 et supportant un poteau 3 dont l'extrémité supérieure reçoit un panneau de signalisation 4 constitué d'une plaque 5, classiquement métallique, procurant un subjectile recevant sur la face frontale 6 un décor 7 tel qu'un symbole ou un pictogramme montrant une signalisation routière, par exemple.On the figure 1 , there is shown the passive safety support 1, according to the invention, resting on the floor 2 and supporting a post 3 whose upper end receives a signaling panel 4 consisting of a plate 5, conventionally metallic, providing a substrate receiving on the front face 6 a decoration 7 such as a symbol or a pictogram showing road signs, for example.

On décrira ci-après le support à sécurité passive lors d'une utilisation sur un sol horizontal. Il va de soi que le sol sur lequel est disposé ledit élément support 1 pourra également être plus ou moins incliné, les termes vertical et/ou horizontal, haut et/ou bas seront alors à adapter à l'inclinaison dudit sol 2.The passive safety support will be described below when used on horizontal ground. It goes without saying that the floor on which said support member 1 is arranged may also be more or less inclined, the terms vertical and / or horizontal, up and / or down will then be adapted to the inclination of said floor 2.

L'embase 10 est avantageusement une plaque annulaire comportant une pluralité de premiers orifices 101 la traversant de part en part, ces derniers étant aptes à coopérer avec des organes d'ancrage appropriés, non représentés, tels que, par exemple, des chevilles chimiques ou auto-expansives ou encore des crosses d'ancrages, pour fixer solidement ladite embase 10 sur le sol 2 (Cf. figure 1). Pour des raisons de répartition uniforme des efforts mécaniques, lesdits premiers orifices 101 sont avantageusement répartis sur l'embase 10 uniformément le long d'un premier cercle E1.The base 10 is advantageously an annular plate having a plurality of first orifices 101 passing through it from one side to the other, the latter being able to cooperate with suitable anchoring members, not shown, such as, for example, chemical pins or self-expanding or anchoring butts, for securely fixing said base 10 on the ground 2 (Cf. figure 1 ). For reasons of uniform distribution of the mechanical forces, said first orifices 101 are advantageously distributed on the base 10 uniformly along a first circle E1.

L'embase 10 comporte en outre une pluralité de deuxièmes orifices 102 la traversant de part en part et étant aptes à coopérer avec les tiges de liaison 13 pour permettre leur fixation sur ladite embase 10. Pour des raisons évidentes de répartition uniforme des efforts mécaniques, lesdits deuxièmes orifices 102 sont avantageusement répartis sur l'embase 10 uniformément le long d'un deuxième cercle E2, avantageusement différent du premier cercle E1 et encore plus avantageusement de diamètre supérieur à celui du premier cercle E1.The base 10 further comprises a plurality of second orifices 102 traversing it from one side to the other and being able to cooperate with the connecting rods 13 to allow their attachment to said base 10. For obvious reasons of uniform distribution of the mechanical forces, said second orifices 102 are advantageously distributed on the base 10 uniformly along a second circle E2, advantageously different from the first circle E1 and even more advantageously of diameter greater than that of the first circle E1 .

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, les tiges de liaison 13 sont filetées et les deuxièmes orifices 102 sont pourvus de taraudages 103 (Cf. figure 4) afin de permettre le vissage de l'extrémité inférieure de chaque tige de liaison 13 dans l'embase 10.According to a preferred embodiment, the connecting rods 13 are threaded and the second orifices 102 are provided with threads 103 (see FIG. figure 4 ) to enable the lower end of each connecting rod 13 to be screwed into the base 10.

Toutefois, les tiges de liaison 13 pourront être fixées par un tout autre procédé ou moyen permettant d'obtenir une liaison encastrement démontable ou non entre lesdites tiges de liaison 13 et l'embase 10. Ainsi, les tiges de liaison 13 pourront être fixées par soudage ou encore collage, sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention.However, the connecting rods 13 may be fixed by any other method or means for obtaining a detachable connection or not between said connecting rods 13 and the base 10. Thus, the connecting rods 13 may be fixed by welding or gluing, without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Le flasque supérieur 11 est également une plaque annulaire comportant une pluralité de premiers orifices 111 et une pluralité de deuxièmes orifices 112 le traversant de part en part. Pour des raisons évidentes de répartition uniforme des efforts mécaniques, lesdits premiers et deuxièmes orifices 111,112 sont respectivement répartis sur le flasque supérieur 11 uniformément le long d'un premier et d'un deuxième cercles F1,F2, le deuxième cercle F2 étant avantageusement différent du premier cercle F1 et encore plus avantageusement de diamètre supérieur à celui du premier cercle F1.The upper flange 11 is also an annular plate having a plurality of first orifices 111 and a plurality of second orifices 112 passing therethrough. For obvious reasons of uniform distribution of the mechanical forces, said first and second orifices 111, 112 are respectively distributed on the upper flange 11 uniformly along a first and a second circle F1, F2, the second circle F2 being advantageously different from the first circle F1 and even more advantageously with a diameter greater than that of the first circle F1.

Les premiers orifices 111 sont aptes à coopérer avec des organes de fixations 14 adaptés, tels que, par exemple, des boulons, pour fixer les moyens de préhension 12 sur ledit flasque supérieur 11.The first orifices 111 are able to cooperate with suitable fastening members 14, such as, for example, bolts, for fixing the gripping means 12 on said upper flange 11.

Les deuxièmes orifices 112 sont aptes à coopérer avec des organes de liaison 15 pour permettre la solidarisation les tiges de liaison 13 sur ledit flasque supérieur 11 et assurer ainsi la liaison entre ce dernier et l'embase 10.The second orifices 112 are able to cooperate with connecting members 15 for securing the connecting rods 13 to said upper flange 11 and thus ensuring the connection between the latter and the base 10.

Chaque organe de liaison 15 est tel qu'il assure une liaison du type rotule entre la tige de liaison 13 associée et le flasque supérieur 11. Pour cela, chaque organe de liaison 15 comporte des rondelles à portée sphérique 151 disposées sur la tige de liaison 13 associée de part et d'autre du flasque supérieur 11 et des organes de serrage 152, du type écrous par exemple, maintenant lesdites rondelles à portée sphérique 151 en position contre les faces supérieure et inférieure du flasque supérieur 11 (Cf. figure 4).Each connecting member 15 is such as to provide a connection of the ball-and-socket type between the associated connecting rod 13 and the upper flange 11. For this purpose, each connecting member 15 comprises spherical washers 151 arranged on the connecting rod 13 associated on either side of the upper flange 11 and the clamping members 152, type nuts, for example, maintaining said washers 151 bearing in position against the upper and lower faces of the upper flange 11 (Cf. figure 4 ).

Les liaisons rotules entre la tige de liaison 13 associée et le flasque supérieur 11 permettent au support 1 à sécurité passive selon l'invention de fléchir avant de casser lors d'un choc de manière à accroître sa résistance mécanique sans avoir à augmenter de façon importante les dimensions des pièces constituant ledit support 1.The ball joints between the associated connecting rod 13 and the upper flange 11 allow the passive safety support 1 according to the invention to bend before breaking during an impact so as to increase its mechanical strength without having to increase significantly. the dimensions of the parts constituting said support 1.

Pour des raisons évidente de réduction des coûts de fabrication, les embase 10 et flasque supérieur 11 ont avantageusement les mêmes formes et dimensions, et les premier et deuxième cercles E1, E2 de l'embase 10 sont respectivement identiques aux premier et deuxième cercles F1, F2 du flasque supérieur 11. Par ailleurs, pour les mêmes raisons, les embase 10 et flasque supérieur 11 ont évidemment le même nombre de deuxièmes orifices 102,112 respectifs et ces derniers seront disposés de façon que chaque deuxième orifice 102 de l'embase 10 soit coaxial avec le deuxième orifice 112 correspondant du flasque supérieur 11. De plus, de manière avantageuse, les axes desdits deuxièmes orifices 102,112 sont parallèles entre eux.For obvious reasons of reducing manufacturing costs, the base 10 and the upper flange 11 advantageously have the same shapes and dimensions, and the first and second circles E1, E2 of the base 10 are respectively identical to the first and second circles F1, F2 of the upper flange 11. Furthermore, for the same reasons, the base 10 and the upper flange 11 obviously have the same number of respective second orifices 102, 112 and the latter will be arranged so that each second orifice 102 of the base 10 is coaxial. with the corresponding second orifice 112 of the upper flange 11. In addition, advantageously, the axes of said second orifices 102, 112 are parallel to one another.

Avec cette configuration avantageuse, les tiges de liaison 13 seront alors disposées de manière à avoir leur axe longitudinal perpendiculaire à la face supérieure 104 de l'embase 10, lesdits axes longitudinaux étant parallèles entre eux (Cf. figure 4).With this advantageous configuration, the rods of link 13 will then be arranged so as to have their longitudinal axis perpendicular to the upper face 104 of the base 10, said longitudinal axes being parallel to each other (Cf. figure 4 ).

Toutefois sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention, les axes longitudinaux des tiges de liaison 13 pourront être orientés différemment et par exemple ne pas être parallèles entre eux.However without departing from the scope of the present invention, the longitudinal axes of the connecting rods 13 may be oriented differently and for example not be parallel to each other.

Ainsi, selon une variante de réalisation non représentée, les axes longitudinaux des tiges de liaison 13 sont inclinés et convergent en direction d'un point unique, ce dernier correspondant avantageusement au centre de poussée du vent agissant sur le panneau de signalisation 4. Toutefois, cette variante est délicate à mettre en oeuvre car il n'est pas aisé de déterminer avec précision la position dudit centre de poussée.Thus, according to an alternative embodiment not shown, the longitudinal axes of the connecting rods 13 are inclined and converge towards a single point, the latter advantageously corresponding to the center of the wind pressure acting on the traffic sign 4. However, this variant is difficult to implement because it is not easy to accurately determine the position of said center of thrust.

En outre, le support 1 comporte des moyens de préhension 12 fixés par les organes de fixations 14 sur le flasque supérieur 11 et aptes à coopérer avec l'extrémité inférieure du poteau 3 pour le fixer sur ledit flasque supérieur 11. Ces moyens de préhension 12 comportent deux coquilles 121 munies chacune d'une empreinte interne 122 dont la forme est complémentaire à la forme extérieure dudit poteau 3 et destinées à être disposées en vis-à-vis et serrées l'une contre l'autre par des organes de fixation 123 adaptés (Cf. figure 4), tels que, par exemple, des boulons pour enserrer l'extrémité inférieure du poteau 3.In addition, the support 1 comprises gripping means 12 fixed by the fasteners 14 on the upper flange 11 and adapted to cooperate with the lower end of the pole 3 to fix it on said upper flange 11. These gripping means 12 comprise two shells 121 each provided with an internal cavity 122 whose shape is complementary to the outer shape of said post 3 and intended to be arranged facing each other and clamped together by fasteners 123 adapted (cf. figure 4 ), such as, for example, bolts for gripping the lower end of the pole 3.

Pour accroître la compacité du support 1, les moyens de préhension 12 sont fixés en-dessous du flasque supérieur 11 de sorte à être disposé entre l'embase 10 et ledit flasque supérieur 11.To increase the compactness of the support 1, the gripping means 12 are fixed below the upper flange 11 so as to be disposed between the base 10 and said upper flange 11.

Comme décrit précédemment, les tiges de liaison 13 sont de préférence des tiges filetées au moins à leurs extrémités et de manière avantageuse, sur toute leur longueur.As previously described, the connecting rods 13 are preferably threaded rods at least at their ends and advantageously over their entire length.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, le support 1 selon l'invention comporte au moins trois, et de préférence six, tiges de liaison 13 reparties uniformément le long des cercle E2 ou F2 afin de garantir une résistance aux chocs multidirectionnelle.According to an advantageous embodiment, the support 1 according to the invention comprises at least three, and preferably six, connecting rods 13 distributed uniformly along the circles E2 or F2 to ensure multidirectional impact resistance.

L'homme du Métier n'aura aucune difficultés pour dimensionner les différents pièces constituant le support 1 selon l'invention et les jeux nécessaire au bon assemblage de ces dernières entre elles et notamment le jeu entre les premiers orifices 111 du flasque supérieur 11 et les organes de fixations 14 pour permettre la fixation des moyens de préhension 12 sur ledit flasque supérieur 11 tout en permettant l'enserrement du poteau 3 entre les deux coquilles 121 en les serrant l'une contre l'autre.The skilled person will have no difficulty in sizing the various parts constituting the support 1 according to the invention and the games necessary for the proper assembly of the latter between them and in particular the clearance between the first orifices 111 of the upper flange 11 and the fixing members 14 to allow attachment of the gripping means 12 on said upper flange 11 while allowing the clamping of the pole 3 between the two shells 121 by clamping them against each other.
