Abstract
Description
La pressente invention a pour objet un support de panneaux de signalisation'et, plus particulièrement, des supports du type repliables pour des signalisations temporaires notamment. The object of the present invention is a support for traffic signs and, more particularly, supports of the folding type for temporary signs in particular.
Des supports de ce genre sont couramment utilisés sur les routes de toutes sortes et autoroutes, pour avertir d'un danger ou signaler des travaux, accidents, ou autres. Le document FR-A-2 179 353 décrit un support de panneaux de signalisation et analogues. Ce support comprend essentiellement un châssis sur lequel sont accrochés au moins un panneau, et une embase reposant sur le sol, sur laquelle le châssis est articulé et entre lesquels on trouve une jambe de force qui permet d'immobiliser le chassis par rapport a l'embase, dans une position qui est sensiblement verticale. Such supports are commonly used on roads of all kinds and highways, to warn of danger or to report work, accidents, or the like. Document FR-A-2 179 353 describes a support for traffic signs and the like. This support essentially comprises a frame on which are hung at least one panel, and a base resting on the ground, on which the frame is articulated and between which there is a strut which makes it possible to immobilize the frame relative to the base, in a position which is substantially vertical.
Pour la signalisation de travaux sur autoroutes par exemple, ces supports sont transportés dans des remorques spécialement aménagées, qui comprennent des cases de rangement horizontales ou verticales de l'ensemble desdits supports. Ces remorques sont bien souvent des remorques de construction légère, dont le poids total en charge est limité à 3,5 tonnes. For the signaling of works on motorways for example, these supports are transported in specially fitted trailers, which include horizontal or vertical storage boxes for all of said supports. These trailers are very often light construction trailers, whose total laden weight is limited to 3.5 tonnes.
Les supports existants sont généralement réalisés en tubes ou barres d'acier et leur poids est de ce fait relativement important, de l'ordre de 20 kg. Le poids du support contribue a sa stabilité. Toutefois, il est souvent insuffisant pour assurer une bonne immobilisation du panneau face aux contraintes du vent notamment. Les supports sont la plupart du temps-lestés au moyen de sacs de sable posés sur 1 'embase. Existing supports are generally made of steel tubes or bars and their weight is therefore relatively large, of the order of 20 kg. The weight of the support contributes to its stability. However, it is often insufficient to ensure good immobilization of the panel in the face of wind constraints in particular. The supports are most of the time ballasted by means of sandbags placed on the base.
Sur une remorque d'autoroute, le nombre de supports est limité par leur poids. On a highway trailer, the number of supports is limited by their weight.
Un premier but de l'invention est de diminuer le poids de ces supports pour d'une part améliorer la capacité des remorques existantes et, d'autre part, réduire de façon notable la fatigue des utilisateurs chargés de la mise en place de ces supports. A first object of the invention is to reduce the weight of these supports in order on the one hand to improve the capacity of existing trailers and, on the other hand, to significantly reduce the fatigue of the users responsible for the installation of these supports. .
Par ailleurs, les supports tels que présents dans le document signalé au-dessus, sont d'une utilisation peu pratique. En effet, ils comportent, entre l'embase et le châssis porteur, un tirant qutil est nécessaire de manipuler lorsque l'on déploie le support ou, lorsqu'on le replie. Il s'en suit une perte de temps non negligeable lors de l'installation de ces supports ou lors de leur recupération, compte-tenu du nombre souvent très important d'implantations a effectuer sur une autoroute, pour signaler un chantier par exemple. Furthermore, the supports as present in the document indicated above are of impractical use. Indeed, they comprise, between the base and the supporting frame, a tie rod which it is necessary to handle when the support is deployed or, when it is folded. It follows a significant loss of time during the installation of these supports or during their recovery, given the often very large number of implantations to be made on a highway, to signal a site for example.
Un autre objectif de l'invention est donc de simplifier l'utilisation daces supports pour les rendre plus faciles a déplier et a replier et surtout pour que ces opérations puissent s'effectuer dans un minimum de temps, et sans pour cela augmenter de façon considérable leur prix. Another objective of the invention is therefore to simplify the use of other supports to make them easier to unfold and to fold and above all so that these operations can be carried out in a minimum of time, and without thereby considerably increasing their price.
Le support selon l'invention est constitué d'une embase et d'un châssis d'accueil articule sur ladite embase les deux sont reunis au moyen d'une jambe de force en forme de compas et l'ensemble est réalise en matériau leger. The support according to the invention consists of a base and a reception frame articulated on said base, the two are joined by means of a strut in the form of a compass and the assembly is made of light material.
D'autres avantages et caracteristiques de l'invention, apparaîtront a la lecture de la description suivante, en liaison avec les schemas annexes, donnés a titre indicatif, et dans lesquels - la figure 1 est une vue generale en perspective du support selon l'invention en position deployee - la figure 2 est une vue de côte de ce support, en position deployee egalement et, en traits mixtes fins, en positionintermédiaire et en position repliée - la figure 3 est une vue de dessus du support selon l'invention en position déployee ; - figure 4 est une vue de face du support déploye. Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will appear on reading the following description, in conjunction with the annexed diagrams, given for information only, and in which - FIG. 1 is a general perspective view of the support according to the invention in the deployed position - FIG. 2 is a side view of this support, in the deployed position also and, in thin phantom, in the intermediate position and in the folded position - FIG. 3 is a top view of the support according to the invention in deployed position; - Figure 4 is a front view of the deployed support.
Le support est constitue d'un chassis 1 destine a recevoir un ou plusieurs panneaux de signalisation de forme triangulaire, circulaire, carree ou rectangulaire de la gamme trois ou cinq selon le-cas. Ce châssis 1 est articule sur une embase 2 qui repose sur le sol. Ces deux elements sont reunis par un compas C constitue de deux biellettes 3 et 4. The support is made up of a chassis 1 intended to receive one or more triangular, circular, square or rectangular signboards from the three or five range as appropriate. This chassis 1 is articulated on a base 2 which rests on the ground. These two elements are joined by a compass C made up of two links 3 and 4.
L'embase 2 a une forme rectangulaire ; elle est constituée de profils d'alliage d'aluminium et repose sur le sol, en quatre points. Cette embase comprend deux longerons 5 et 6 qui reposent sur deux traverses 7 et 8 dont les extrémités sont recourbées legèrement vers le bas pour constituer les points d'appui sur le sol. The base 2 has a rectangular shape; it is made of aluminum alloy profiles and rests on the ground at four points. This base includes two beams 5 and 6 which rest on two crosspieces 7 and 8, the ends of which are slightly curved downward to form the support points on the ground.
On remarque, à l'extrémité avant des longerons 5 et 6, des roulettes 9 qui facilitent le déplacement du support sur le sol. Note, at the front end of the side members 5 and 6, rollers 9 which facilitate the movement of the support on the ground.
Le châssis 1 est également constitué de profils d'alliage d'aluminium. Il comprend tout d'abord un profil plié en arceau avec deux branches latérales 10 et 11 qui, sur une moitié de leur longueur sont parallèles entre elles, puis convergent jusqu'à la branche supérieure 12 ; ce châssis se présente sous la forme générale d'un U retourné qui est articulé aux extrémités de ses branches 10 et 11, sur l'avant de l'embase 2. Les articulations 13 du chassis 1 sur l'embase 2 se situent en retrait par rapport à la traverse 8 qui sert de piètement. The chassis 1 also consists of aluminum alloy profiles. It firstly comprises a hoop-folded profile with two lateral branches 10 and 11 which, over half their length are parallel to each other, then converge to the upper branch 12; this chassis is in the general form of an inverted U which is articulated at the ends of its branches 10 and 11, on the front of the base 2. The articulations 13 of the chassis 1 on the base 2 are set back relative to the cross member 8 which serves as a base.
L'embase 2 comporte encore, entre les longerons 5 et 6, sensiblement à mi-distance des traverses 7 et 8, une entretoise 14 parallele auxdites traverses, soudée sous les longerons. The base 2 also comprises, between the side rails 5 and 6, substantially midway between the crosspieces 7 and 8, a spacer 14 parallel to said crosspieces, welded under the side rails.
Le châssis 1 comporte également une entretoise 15 soudée entre les branches 10 et Il, à mi-hauteur, et un montant vertical médian 16 entre cette entretoise 15 et la branche supérieure 12 dudit châssis. The chassis 1 also comprises a spacer 15 welded between the arms 10 and II, at mid-height, and a vertical median upright 16 between this spacer 15 and the upper branch 12 of said chassis.
Le compas C est articulé à chacune de ses extrémités, sur l'entretoise 14 de l'embase 2 et sur le montant 16 du chassis 1. L'articulation 17, sur l'entretoise 14 est constituée d'une simple chape. La biellette 4 du compas
C est articulée dans cette chape. Cette biellette se présente sous la forme d'un profil tubulaire en aluminium.The compass C is articulated at each of its ends, on the spacer 14 of the base 2 and on the upright 16 of the frame 1. The articulation 17, on the spacer 14 consists of a simple yoke. The compass link 4
It is articulated in this yoke. This link is in the form of a tubular aluminum profile.
La biellette 3 est constituée d'un assemblage de deux profils plats d'aluminium. Cette biellette 3 ainsi formée est articulée en 18 sur le montant 16 ; les deux plats de cette biellette sont disposés de part et d'autre du montant 16. Au niveau de l'articulation centrale 19 du compas C, les deux plats de la biellette 3 sont disposés de part et d'autre de la biellette 4. La biellette 3 s'entend au-delà de son articulation 19 avec la biellette 4, sur une longueur de 10 à 15 cm environ le long de cette biellette 4, et elle comporte une butée'20 qui prend appui sur le dos de la biellette 4 pour verrouiller la position du support 1 par rapport à l'embase 2, dans une configuration sensiblement verticale, comme il apparaît sur les figures. The link 3 consists of an assembly of two flat aluminum profiles. This link 3 thus formed is articulated at 18 on the upright 16; the two dishes of this link are arranged on either side of the upright 16. At the central articulation 19 of the compass C, the two dishes of the link 3 are arranged on either side of the link 4. The link 3 is understood beyond its articulation 19 with the link 4, over a length of approximately 10 to 15 cm along this link 4, and it comprises a stop 20 which bears on the back of the link 4 to lock the position of the support 1 relative to the base 2, in a substantially vertical configuration, as it appears in the figures.
On remarque, figure 2, représenté en traits mixtes fins, le châssis 1 en position intermédiaire lors de son déploiement ou repliement et, toujours représenté en traits mixtes fins, on voit apparaltre la partie superieure du châssis 1 qui déborde, à l'horizontale, de I'embase 2. On remarque sur cette figure 2, que le chassis 1 s'intègre totalement entre les longerons 5 et.6 de l'embase 2 ; le chassis I repose sur la traverse 7 et l'entretoise 14. Note, FIG. 2, shown in thin dashed lines, the chassis 1 in the intermediate position during its deployment or folding and, still shown in thin dashed lines, we see the upper part of the chassis 1 appearing protruding horizontally, of the base 2. It can be seen in this FIG. 2, that the chassis 1 is completely integrated between the longitudinal members 5 and 6 of the base 2; the frame I rests on the cross member 7 and the spacer 14.
En position repliée, le châssis 1 est de préférence verrouillé sur l'embase 2 au moyen d'un crochet 21 escamotable, a ressort par exemple. In the folded position, the chassis 1 is preferably locked on the base 2 by means of a retractable hook 21, for example with a spring.
La branche supérieure 12 du chassis 1 sert éventuellement de poignée pour la manipulation du support. The upper branch 12 of the chassis 1 possibly serves as a handle for handling the support.
On remarque encore, figure 4 notamment, les points d'ancrage 22 et 23 situés respectivement sur les branches latérales 10 et 11 du chassis 1 ainsi que des points -d'ancrage 24 disposés sur l'entretoise 15 et le montant 16. Note also, in FIG. 4 in particular, the anchor points 22 and 23 located respectively on the lateral branches 10 and 11 of the chassis 1 as well as anchor points 24 arranged on the spacer 15 and the upright 16.
On peut encore prevoir, selon le type de panneau, des crochets 25 disposés en façade, sur le châssis 1, à la partie inferieure des branches 10 et Il. Depending on the type of panel, it is also possible to provide hooks 25 arranged on the front, on the chassis 1, at the lower part of the arms 10 and II.
Le support selon l'invention peut consister en des mode les de dimensions differentes ; ce support réalisé en materiau leger, au moyen de profils aluminium par exemple, ne représente qu'un poids de l'ordre de 10 a 12 kg pour le plus grand modele, c'est-à-dire un poids reduit de moitie par rapport au support classique realise en acier. The support according to the invention may consist of modes of different dimensions; this support made of light material, by means of aluminum profiles for example, represents only a weight of the order of 10 to 12 kg for the largest model, that is to say a weight reduced by half compared to with classic support made of steel.
Le déploiement du support ne requiert que le déverrouillage du loquet 22 et le pivotement du chassis I autour des articulations 13. Lors de cette manoeuvre, les trois points d'articulation 17, 18, 19, du compas C, s'alignent et le depassement de cet alignement permet le blocage automatique de la position verticale du châssis 1 par rapport a l'embase 2. The deployment of the support requires only the unlocking of the latch 22 and the pivoting of the frame I around the joints 13. During this maneuver, the three points of articulation 17, 18, 19, of the compass C, align and exceed of this alignment allows the automatic blocking of the vertical position of the chassis 1 relative to the base 2.
La stabilité du support est assurée par l'embase et son ancrage au sol est obtenu au moyen de lests non représentés, posés par exemple, sur l'entretoise 14, afin d'accroître la résistance au vent. The stability of the support is ensured by the base and its anchoring to the ground is obtained by means of weights not shown, placed for example, on the spacer 14, in order to increase the wind resistance.
