Abstract

1. Carrier element or post which, on its own or in a combination, can act as a post of the type seen on the sides of roads, streets and highways, a vertical element to be set up in or on the ground to support or have suspended from it one or a number of devices of various shapes and functions, such, for example, as a sign to make a signpost, or again, for example, luminous devices, to form a lamp-post or lamp standard, a direction post and/or again, which, when used in combination with vertical and horizontal carrying elements, may form a structure made up to a basic module (1b) itself forming a carrying element combined, or combinable with one, two or three other modules identical except perhaps in length, each additional module forming with the preceding one(s), a carrying element and using one or more means of connection (12) and carrying elements capable of being subsequently combined with other carrying elements to form a structure by one or more other means of connection (18), characterized by the fact that each basic module (1b) is a section in the form of an isosceles triangle extending into a regular rectangle of which the two sides of the angle (alpha) of the isosceles triangle form the combining faces (2, 3) and of which the two parallel sides (10, 11) include over their whole height a wide dove-tail shaped slot (9), making it possible at the facing angle of each basic module (1b) with its neighbour to slip in an angle section connecting piece (12) provided on each outside face with a dovetail-shaped guide-block (12'), the dimensions of which correspond to those of the slot (9).

Description

La présente invention est relative à un élément porteur destiné à servir seul ou en association avec d'autres éléments porteurs, poteau du type que l'on rencontre au bord des routes, rues et chemins, élément essentiellement vertical à fixer dans ou sur le sol et destiné à porter ou à y suspendre un ou plusieurs dispositifs de forme et fonction diverses comme par exemple un écriteau en vue d'obtenir un poteau-indicateur, ou encore par exemple dispositifs lumineux en vue d'obtenir un poteau ou potence d'éclairage, un poteau de signalisation lumineux et/ou encore utilisé en des associations d'éléments porteurs verticaux et horizontaux pour former la structure d'un bâtiment ou d'un objet.The present invention relates to a load-bearing element intended to be used alone or in combination with other load-bearing elements, post of the type that is encountered at the edge of roads, streets and paths, essentially vertical element to be fixed in or on the ground. and intended to carry or hang thereon one or more devices of various shape and function such as for example a sign in order to obtain a signpost, or even for example light devices in order to obtain a lighting pole or bracket , a luminous sign post and / or also used in combinations of vertical and horizontal load-bearing elements to form the structure of a building or an object.

Les éléments porteurs et plus particulièrement les poteaux actuellement connus, sont constitués par un élément d'un seul tenant, élément plein ou encore profilé creux fermé dont le gabarit est généralement identique sur toute sa longueur ou encore simplement légèrement conique de manière à s'amincir vers son extrémité éloignée du sol de sorte que le gabarit est souvent bien supérieur à ce qui est nécessaire pour l'usage auquel il est destiné.The load-bearing elements and more particularly the posts currently known, consist of a single-piece element, a solid element or even a closed hollow profile, the size of which is generally identical over its entire length or even simply slightly conical so as to become thinner. towards its end remote from the ground so that the template is often much greater than what is necessary for the use for which it is intended.

L'élément porteur ou poteau, selon la présente invention, remédie à ces inconvénients tout en ayant en plus des avantages qui lui sont propres; il se caractérise en ce qui'l est constitué par un module de base formant par lui-même un élément porteur ou poteau et module associable ou associé à un, deux ou trois autres modules ou des multiples de ces nombres de modules identiques, à l'exception éventuellement de la longueur, chaque module supplémentaire venant former avec celui ou ceux déjà prévus un élément porteur ou poteau et ce par un ou plusieurs moyens de liaison, et élément porteur pouvant ensuite être associé avec d'autres éléments porteurs pour former une structure et ce par un ou plusieurs moyens de liaison.The carrier element or post, according to the present invention, overcomes these drawbacks while also having its own advantages; it is characterized in that it is constituted by a basic module forming by itself a load-bearing element or post and module which can be associated or associated with one, two or three other modules or multiples of these numbers of identical modules, with l with the possible exception of the length, each additional module coming to form with that or those already provided a load-bearing element or post and this by one or more connecting means, and load-bearing element which can then be associated with other load-bearing elements to form a structure and this by one or more connecting means.

Afin de mieux comprendre l'invention, on la décrit maintenant de manière exemplative par rapport à un dessin annexé, qui représente:

  • à la figure 1, une vue en coupe horizontale d'une association de quatre modules de base d'une forme simplifiée;
  • à la figure 2, une vue partielle de profil d'une association de deux modules de base d'une forme simplifiée;
  • à la figure 3, une vue partielle de profil d'une même association de deux modèles de base d'une forme simplifiée qu'à la figure 2 mais se terminant de manière différente;
  • à la figure 4, une vue en coupe selon la ligne I/I de la figure 2;
  • à la figure 5, une vue en coupe horizontale dans un module de base présentant un profil préférentiel;
  • à la figure 6, une vue en coupe horizontale dans une association de quatre modules de base du type représenté à la figure 5;
  • à la figure 7, une vue en coupe horizontale dans une association de deux modules de base du type représenté à la figure 5;
  • à la figure 8, une vue partielle en arraché dans quatre modules de base du type représenté à la figure 5, formant un poteau vertical associé à deux autres modules du même type placés horizontalement de manière à former un départ de coin d'une structure.
In order to better understand the invention, it is now described by way of example with reference to an attached drawing, which represents:
  • in Figure 1, a horizontal sectional view of an association of four basic modules of a simplified form;
  • in FIG. 2, a partial profile view of an association of two basic modules of a simplified form;
  • in Figure 3, a partial profile view of the same association of two basic models of a simplified form as in Figure 2 but ending in a different way;
  • in Figure 4, a sectional view along line I / I of Figure 2;
  • in Figure 5, a horizontal sectional view in a basic module having a preferred profile;
  • in Figure 6, a horizontal sectional view in an association of four basic modules of the type shown in Figure 5;
  • in Figure 7, a horizontal sectional view in a combination of two basic modules of the type shown in Figure 5;
  • in FIG. 8, a partial cutaway view in four basic modules of the type represented in FIG. 5, forming a vertical post associated with two other modules of the same type placed horizontally so as to form a corner start of a structure.

En se référant à ces différentes figures, on a représenté par (la, figures 1 à 4), un module de base de forme simplifiée, par (lb, figures 5 à 8), un module de base de forme préférentielle, qui tous ont de part et d'autre d'un angle (α ), un plan droit et régulier (2, 3) qui vont former faces d'association, angle (α ) de 90° dans une association complète possible et comme représentée de quatre modules (la ou 1b) de base, mais qui pour - rait être différent et par exemple de 120° dans une association complète possible de trois modules (la ou lb) de base, c'est-à-
dire que l'angle (α ) sera de

Figure imgb0001
Referring to these different figures, there is shown by (la, figures 1 to 4), a basic module of simplified form, by (lb, figures 5 to 8), a basic module of preferential form, which all have on either side of an angle (α), a straight and regular plane (2, 3) which will form association faces, angle (α) of 90 ° in a complete association possible and as represented by four modules (la or 1b) basic, but which could be different and for example 120 ° in a possible complete association of three basic modules (la or lb), that is to say
say that the angle (α) will be
Figure imgb0001

Chaque module de base (la ou lb) constituant par lui-même un poteau ou élément porteur, est fixé au sol, de toute manière connue, par exemple enfoncé et planté dans le sol bétonné, boulonné sur ou dans une plaque ou un bloc lui-même enfoncé dans le sol etc... ; dans le cas d'une association de modules de base (la ou lb), chacun de ceux-ci va s'appuyer sur un autre par l'une ou ses faces d'association (2 ou 3).Each basic module (la or lb) constituting by itself a post or supporting element, is fixed to the ground, in any known manner, for example pressed and planted in the concrete ground, bolted on or in a plate or a block it - even sunk into the ground etc ...; in the case of an association of basic modules (la or lb), each of these will be supported on another by one or its association faces (2 or 3).

Afin que le module de base (la ou lb) supplémentaire prévu à un ou plusieurs autres modules consolide l'association, il est prévu de relier chaque module de base (la ou lb) prévu à son voisin par un moyen de liaison, une simple cornière droite (4) pour les modules de base (la, figures 1 à 4) en forme comme représentée, de simple triangle rectangle-isocèle, cornière (4) dont, comme visible à la figure 2, on ne prévoit généralement que des tronçons de cornière(4). On prévoit de fixer les cornières (4) aux modules de base (la) associés par exemple au moyen de boulons, vis etc... , non représentés.So that the additional basic module (la or lb) provided for one or more other modules consolidates the association, it is planned to connect each basic module (la or lb) provided to its neighbor by a connecting means, a simple right angle (4) for the basic modules (la, Figures 1 to 4) in shape as shown, of simple right-isosceles triangle, angle (4) of which, as visible in Figure 2, generally only sections are provided angle (4). Provision is made to fix the angles (4) to the associated base modules (la) for example by means of bolts, screws, etc., not shown.

Si l'on a prévu une association de quatre modules de base (la, figure 1), on utilisera à chaque coin (5) une cornière (4) ou un certain nombre de tronçons de cornière (4); par contre, si l'on n'associe que deux modules de base (la, figure 4), il est possible de se limiter à un moyen de liaison comme une cornière (4) au seul coin (5) existant, ou au contraire, d'encore prévoir à la face libre de chacun des deux modules de base qui vont se retrouver dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre, une plaque de liaison (6) et bien entendu éventuellement une série de plaques de liaison(6), les plaques (6) pouvant être plus ou moins longues ou larges de manière à couvrir partiellement ou totalement l'ensemble formé par les faces libres en prolongement l'une de l'autre.If an association of four basic modules has been provided (1a, FIG. 1), an angle (4) or a certain number of angle sections (4) will be used at each corner (5); on the other hand, if only two basic modules are combined (1a, FIG. 4), it is possible to limit oneself to a connecting means such as an angle (4) at the only existing corner (5), or on the contrary , to still provide on the free face of each of the two basic modules which will be found in the extension of one another, a connection plate (6) and of course possibly a series of connection plates (6 ), the plates (6) being able to be more or less long or wide so as to partially or totally cover the assembly formed by the free faces in extension of one another.

Si l'association est constituée de modules de base identiques (la), ceux-ci peuvent être de longueurs sensiblement différentes les unes des autres (voir figures 2 et 3) et l'un (l'a, voir figure 3) se terminer en forme de potence; mais ils peuvent être cependant tous ou deux ou trois de même longueur, se terminant en forme de potence etc...If the association consists of identical basic modules (la), these can be of length substantially different from each other (see figures 2 and 3) and one (a, see figure 3) terminate in the form of a gallows; but they can however be all or two or three of the same length, ending in the form of a gallows etc ...

Comme visible, ces modules de base (la) sont utilisés comme poteaux pour y fixer par exemple des écriteaux (7) schématiquement représentés et/ou encore former potence (l'a, figure 3) pour y suspendre un dispositif d'éclairage (non représenté) mais bien d'autres utilisations sont à prévoir, comme plaque d'indication, de signalisation, feux de signalisation etc ...As can be seen, these basic modules (la) are used as posts to fix there for example signs (7) schematically represented and / or even form a bracket (a, FIG. 3) to hang a lighting device there (not shown) but many other uses are to be expected, such as indication plate, signaling, signaling lights etc ...

En se référant aux figures 5 à 7, on a représenté des modules de base (1b) qui présentent un profil en coupe plus élaboré qui permet de prévoir des moyens de liaison qui peuvent être utilisés sans vis ni boulons, c'est-à-dire sans aucun moyen mécanique, comme d'ailleurs sans soudure, mais par simple emboîtement.Referring to Figures 5 to 7, there are shown modules of base (1b) which have a more elaborate cross-sectional profile which makes it possible to provide connecting means which can be used without screws or bolts, that is to say without any mechanical means, as also without welding, but by simple interlocking.

Pour ce faire, chaque module de base (1b) est pourvu de haut en bas, sur sa partie droite de chaque côté, d'une large rainure latérale (9) en forme de queue-d'aronde; pour ce faire, le module de base qui, par les deux faces d'association (2 et 3) côtés de l'angle (ex), forme, comme représenté aux figures 5 à 7, un triangle rectangle-isocèle, se prolonge en rectangle droit dont chacun des deux côtés parallèles (10, 11) va comporter la large rainure en queue-d'aronde (9). Au coin de rencontre (8) de chaque module de base (1b) avec son voisin, on prévoit de glisser par le haut (ou le bas) dans les rainures (9) voisines, une pièce de liaison, profilé en cornière (12) munie sur chaque côté extérieur d'un patin (12') en forme de queue-d'aronde dont les dimensions correspondent à celles de la rainure (9).To do this, each base module (1b) is provided from top to bottom, on its right part on each side, with a wide lateral groove (9) in the form of a dovetail; to do this, the basic module which, by the two association faces (2 and 3) sides of the angle (ex), forms, as shown in Figures 5 to 7, a right-isosceles triangle, is extended by straight rectangle, each of the two parallel sides (10, 11) of which will have the wide dovetail groove (9). At the meeting corner (8) of each base module (1b) with its neighbor, provision is made to slide from the top (or the bottom) into the adjacent grooves (9), a connecting piece, shaped as an angle (12) provided on each outer side with a shoe (12 ') in the form of a dovetail whose dimensions correspond to those of the groove (9).

Dans le cas où l'association de modules de base (lb) en comporte quatre et que l'angle (α ) est de 90° (voir figure 6), on va utiliser également seulement quatre profilés de liaison en cornière (12). Dans le cas où l'association de modules de base (1b) n'en comporte que deux (figure 7), outre un profilé de liaison en cornière (12), on prévoit, pour les raisons déjà indiquées, dans l'association de deux modules de base (la), un autre profilé spécial (13) pontant, par delà les faces libres en prolongement des deux modules de base (1b), ceux-ci, par leurs côtés d'association libres, profilé spécial (13) comportant également, côtés latéraux, un patin (13') en forme de queue-d'aronde dont les dimensions correspondent à celles de la rainure (9) et dans laquelle l'on va glisser le patin (l3').In the case where the combination of basic modules (lb) has four and the angle (α) is 90 ° (see Figure 6), we will also use only four angle connection profiles (12). In the case where the association of basic modules (1b) comprises only two (FIG. 7), in addition to an angle connection profile (12), provision is made, for the reasons already indicated, in the association of two base modules (la), another special profile (13) bridging, beyond the free faces in extension of the two base modules (1b), these, by their free association sides, special profile (13) also comprising, lateral sides, a shoe (13 ') in the form of a dovetail whose dimensions correspond to those of the groove (9) and in which the shoe (13') is to be slid.

De même, lorsque l'on utilise un module de base (1b) seul comme poteau ou élément porteur, on prévoit également un profilé spécial (14, figure 5) pourvu de deux patins (l4'); ce profilé spécial (14) n'est pas utilisé, bien entendu, comme élément de liaison d'une association mais uniquement pour refermer à l'arrière le poteau ou élément porteur constitué d'un seul module de base (1b) et lui donner une esthétique parfaite; l'on prévoit que la face extérieure et visible de ce profilé spécial (14) comme (13) sera rainurée ou martelée de sorte à éviter que l'on puisse y faire adhérer facilement des affiches.Likewise, when a basic module (1b) is used alone as a post or support element, a special profile (14, FIG. 5) is also provided, provided with two pads (14 '); this special profile (14) is not used, of course, as a connecting element of an association but only to close the post or support element consisting of a single base module (1b) at the rear and give it perfect aesthetics; it is expected that the outer and visible face of this special profile (14) as (13) will be grooved or hammered so as to avoid that it can easily adhere posters.

Comme visible à ces figures 5 à 8, le module de base du type préférentiel ne se limite pas à une partie (1b) en forme de triangle isocèle prolongé par un rectangle droit à côtés latéraux (10, 11) et permettant une association avec d'autres modules identiques, mais le module va au-delà du côté transversal (15) reliant les deux côtés latéraux (10, 11) se prolonger symétriquement en une autre partie (17)creuse. Il faut noter que la partie (1b) ne doit pas nécessairement être creuse. Cette partie creuse (17) du module de base du type préférentiel va être utilisée pour le passage, par exemple, de câbles ou y fixer différents accessoires et cela dans le cas où le module sert de poteau de signalisation routière. Mais cette partie creuse (17) est, comme visible à la figure 8, destinée à permettre une association de modules de base du type préférentiel permettant d'obtenir une structure porteuse; en effet, on peut glisser à l'intérieur de cette partie creuse (17) soit l'une soit l'autre branche (18', 18") d'une équerre de coin droite et symétrique (18') ce qui va permettre une liaison de coin et une association d'un module de base vertical avec un module de base horizontal. La forme et les dimensions en profil de chaque branche (18', 18") sont correspondantes à celles du profil intérieur de la partie creuse (17).As shown in these Figures 5 to 8, the basic module of the preferred type is not limited to a part (1b) in the form of an isosceles triangle extended by a right rectangle with lateral sides (10, 11) and allowing association with d 'other identical modules, but the module goes beyond the transverse side (15) connecting the two lateral sides (10, 11) extend symmetrically into another hollow part (17). Note that the part (1b) does not necessarily have to be hollow. This hollow part (17) of the basic module of the preferred type will be used for the passage, for example, of cables or attach different accessories to it and this in the case where the module serves as a road sign post. But this hollow part (17) is, as visible in FIG. 8, intended to allow an association of basic modules of the preferred type making it possible to obtain a support structure; indeed, one can slide inside this hollow part (17) either one or the other branch (18 ', 18 ") of a straight and symmetrical corner bracket (18') which will allow a corner connection and a combination of a vertical base module with a horizontal base module. The shape and dimensions in profile of each branch (18 ', 18 ") correspond to those of the interior profile of the hollow part ( 17).

On va donc pouvoir réaliser, au moyen d'un seul et même type de profilé et par simple emboîtement, tant une association d'éléments et obtenir un élément porteur complexe qu'une association d'éléments et obtenir des éléments porteurs simples ou complexes qui, associés, vont former une structure porteuse.We will therefore be able to achieve, by means of one and the same type of profile and by simple interlocking, both a combination of elements and obtain a complex bearing element than a combination of elements and obtain simple or complex bearing elements which , partners, will form a supporting structure.
