Description

Signaling support.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification refers to a support for signaling whose essential purpose is to provide a lift base for portable traffic signs provided with a vertical mast or for structurally elements analogues, so as to minimize space in a cluster of a plurality of supports according to the invention in order to facilitate its storage and transport; another object of the invention being that the support provided by it has a greater stability than conventional supports for state signals of technique

Background of the invention

Signaling stands are known that allow the support of portable traffic signals provided with a vertical mast, as well as the support of others structurally analogous elements to the referred signals laptops

Conventional supports of the state of technique used for the aforementioned purpose usually consist in a simple metal crosshead with a central element in which insert or screw the corresponding mast of the traffic signal laptop; which presents inconveniences related to the fact that the support stability is usually insufficient, since would require excessively long arms of the mentioned crosshead to determine a good lift; existing in addition drawbacks that these conventional media lack ease of stacking because the shape of its structure prevents small occupations of space when grouped pluralities of supports with a view to their storage or their transport.

Description of the invention

To achieve the objectives and avoid drawbacks indicated in previous sections, the invention It consists of a signaling support that facilitates support of portable traffic signals provided with a mast vertical and structurally analogous elements.

Novelly, according to the invention, the support of it is constituted by a first horizontal tube in "U" and of divergent branches that is supported on the ground; by means of a second horizontal tube in "U", of branches divergent, with its central part arranged on the central part of said first tube and with its free ends angled to form legs that are supported on the ground; and through a vertical tube and straight in which the referred signal mast is attachable or analogous; This vertical tube is in solidarity with the area internal center of said first tube and, at a higher height and with diametral opposition regarding this solidarity, to the area internal central of said second tube.

According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the mentioned three tubes are metallic, said tube being vertical open at least superiorly, so that the aforementioned Mast coupling is done by simple insertion; in so much so that the aforementioned solidarity consists of a first welding point connecting said vertical tube with the first horizontal tube and at a second welding point that connects the vertical tube with the second horizontal tube.

With the structure described, the support for signaling of the invention it has the advantage that provides a much more stable support base than that of conventional supports of the state of the art, since its first horizontal tube has a whole continuous support side in the corresponding ground, strengthening the lift with the legs of the aforementioned second tube, which when being remarkably far apart of the first tube facilitate great stability.

However, the main advantage of the support of the invention consists in its characteristic of facilitating a large space minimization when multiple media are grouped in transport or storage functions, since the space that is between the legs of the second tube and the rest of the structure allows the coupling of other supports with a small occupation of space, which is facilitated by the "U" shape of divergent branches of the two horizontal tubes.

On the other hand, according to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the metal structure of the support gives a weight which improves the stability and ease of connection of the three constituent tubes by two simple welding points. So, Another advantage of the invention is that it can be manufactured with great simplicity and a relatively low cost.

Then, to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive report and being an integral part of the same, some figures are accompanied in which with character illustrative and not limiting the object of the invention.

Description of an embodiment of the invention

Following is a description of a preferred embodiment of the invention referring to the references of the figures.

Thus, the support for signaling of this example of the invention allows the support of signals from portable traffic 7 like the one seen in figure 1.

The actual support of the present example is constituted by three metal tubes 1, 2 and 3 that they can be seen exploding in figure 1 and mounted in figures 2 and 4.

One of the tubes is a first horizontal tube 1 in "U", with its divergent branches and supported on the ground.

Another of the referred tubes is a second tube horizontal 2 "U", of divergent branches, with its central part arranged on the central part of said first tube 1 and with its free ends bent to form legs 4 supported on soil.

The third and last of the constituent tubes of the support of the present example is a vertical tube 3 of straight constitution, open at its two ends to facilitate in one of them the coupling by insertion of the signal mast 7.

In the present example, this vertical tube 3 is in solidarity with the inner central zone of the first tube 1 and the internal central zone of said second tube 2, the unions corresponding to different heights and with opposition diametral, as depicted in figure 1; being also said junctions a first welding point 5 and a second point of welding 6, as can be seen in Figure 2, although in others examples of the invention could carry out the corresponding solidarity through other means such as screws.

In addition to the broad and stable base of support that facilitates the support of this example, by virtue of entire support face of the first tube 1 and legs 4 of the second tube 2, the support of this example, allows grouping a plurality of units with a minimum occupancy of space, as you can can be seen in figure 3 and by virtue of the spaces between the legs 4 and the rest of the support structure, as well as under of the divergence of the branches of the two horizontal tubes 1 and 2, which determines a very advantageous feature of the support of this example with respect to conventional ones with a view to its transport and storage.
