Definitions
- the present invention relates to a safety road barrier consisting of one or more longitudinal insets made of hard rubber or similar material.
- Such insets in the form of a curb, can be applied either within the slots formed by the outlines of the barriers themselves already in use on roads and highways, or else, in the course of manufacturing, on the contoured steel band intended for the construction of the barriers themselves.
- said improvements do not include any type of horizontal inset, suitable for contributing to the absorption of the shock or else for limiting the damage to the motor vehicle due to the impact between the vehicle and the barriers, with even the possibility of starting a fire because of sparks originating during the friction between them.
- reflective horizontal insets have never been provided to continuously indicate the limits of the roadway, dangerous curves, humps, service areas, but single reflective elements are used mostly along with vertical support posts.
- the present invention can therefore be considered the right solution for the above, since it is proposed as a technically complete safety barrier, which can even be constructed merely by reworking the barriers already in use.
- the invention relates to an improved safety road barrier, characterized by the fact of comprising one or more longitudinal elastic elements, that cover the barrier only partially, and which are applied to the barrier so as to achieve a more gradual absorption of the force of the collision of the motor vehicle in the case of
- Said elastic elements are composed of one or more horizontal curbs made of rubber or similar material, suitably contoured and applicable to existing safety barriers, either, with various contours, to steel bands that are variously contoured for barriers of new profile, in any case always respecting the usual project parameters including absorption, rupture load and the deformation limit imposed by the regulations in force in the individual states in matters of traffic safety for motor vehicles.
- Figure 1 shows a view of the cross section, with respect to a barrier according to the present invention, obtained by applying a longitudinal curb onto a contour sheet metal safety barrier of known type, that is already in use;
- figure 2 shows a view of the cross section of a new possible horizontal barrier made of sheet metal, equipped with a double longitudinal curb made of rubber, fastened with threaded vertical elements;
- figure 3 shows a view of the cross section of a barrier similar to that in figure 2, in whose horizontal
- FIG 4 shows a view of the cross section of a further variation to the contouring of the barrier, equipped with a double horizontal curb made of rubber with a swallow-tailed connection
- figure 5 shows a view of the cross section of a barrier with contouring similar to that of figure 4, but equipped with a single rubber horizontal curb, still equipped with a swallow-tailed connection but with a large section with respect to the previous case
- figure 6 shows, purely as an example, a section of a barrier of a known type, to which a protective elastic horizontal curb has been applied
- figure 7 shows, still as an example, a barrier of the new type, equipped with a double horizontal curb, according to the present invention
- figure 8 finally, shows a view of the cross section of a barrier made of concrete with two longitudinal curbs applied to it.
- the present invention provides for the execution of horizontal curb 1 with a contour conforming to the profile of barriers 2 of known type, and therefore applicable to those already placed in use, by suitable means, thus obtaining a more functional barrier.
- the invention provides for the execution of safety barrier 4 with a profile in which two horizontal housing casings 5
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET are made, such as to allow for the application of as many rubber curbs 6, to be suitably fastened with vertical threaded elements 7.
- the invention according to a first variation as referred to in figure 2, provides for the application of horizontal curbs 8 of which the part intended for the dynamic absorption of the shock exhibits tubular contour 9.
- Said tubular part allows for an initial deformation upon shock without affecting the actual barrier itself and thus can further limit eventual material damage to the motor vehicle.
- the invention provides for the use of barrier 10 with a contour similar to the previous one but with curbs 11 and corresponding casings 12 for a swallow- tailed connection, thus with greater stability of the latter in case of collision.
- a further variation of the invention consists in the production of a barrier similar to that which is represented in figure 14 , but which is equipped with single casing 13 and corresponding rubber longitudinal curb 11 with a swallow-tailed attachment, with a larger section in comparison to the previous case.
- the assembly of barriers 17 mentioned above provides for the use of stanchions 15 in metallic contour and corresponding threaded elements 16, as
- both the rubber curbs and the reflective strips are also applied on concrete elements 20, by suitable systems of fastening ⁇ uch as expansion bolts, adhesives (not represented) or by a swallow-tailed connection.
- Figure 8 illustrates precisely one of barriers 20 thus obtained, with two longitudinal curbs 21 applied to it and fastened by the system just cited.
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET system of fastening can also be applied either onto barriers already placed in use, and on barrier elements in the manufacturing process.
- a further embodiment of the invention is indicated in which the longitudinal elastic curbs, no matter whether it is a barrier made of sheet metal or is one made of concrete, are made with a type of rubber whose mixture contains elements suitable to conferring it with an effect of fluorescence.
