Description

Road separation barrier.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a barrier of road separation, and more specifically to a usable barrier both in beaconing and in separation of tracks, as well as for signs or accesses prohibited in works, regulation of the road traffic and the like.

The object of the invention is to achieve a barrier that is foldable, flexible, adaptable and low weight.

Background of the invention

The barriers that are used as a means of beaconing or separation in tracks can be of various types, being able to cite as more common the classic metal barriers to frame mode with bars and extreme support feet, of so that these types of barriers suffer from a series of problems and inconveniences such as its high weight, cost, lack of stability, etc.

Another type of barrier is known that is concrete and that although they are logically more stable, its high weight makes them difficult to manipulate, not being suitable for beaconing and provisional signaling.

Finally there is another type of barrier, made of plastic and therefore of low weight, being its dimensions or size similar to concrete barriers. Saying barrier type - it has the advantage of having a reduced weight and can be stabilized by filling them, for example, with water, although the most important problem derives from its high occupation when not in use, which presents problems at the time of transport, storage, etc.

Description of the invention

The recommended barrier has been conceived to solve the problem described above, based on a simple but effective solution, since materializing in plastic or similar lightweight material, it has a bellows or panel structure of bee, so that it is extensible, accordion type, achieving a very significant reduction in length, being able to estimate that a barrier of up to six meters in length can be reduced to 22 cm in length when picked up, that is in Inoperative storage and / or transport situation.

The barrier thus constituted presents the great advantage of its volumetric reduction when not in use, with the consequent advantages both in transport and in storage and even handling.

On the other hand, the barrier besides being structured as a bellows, it has the peculiarity that in Its ends are equipped with two rigid frames, which can be also of plastic but logically rigid, so that those two Racks feature an adequate locking system between ends which will keep the folded position of the barrier stable in inoperative situation. In addition, additional elements will be available that ensure the stability to the sliding of the barrier, as well as the stability of the extreme parts in a barrier situation deployed

As a preferred embodiment, it is envisioned that the two racks count each of them, with a stem and a hole, so that the rod of a frame is facing to the hole of the other frame and vice versa, with what in the folded of the barrier the stems of the two racks are housed in the holes of the same, that with respective extreme heels they will keep the folded position of the barrier stable in inoperative situation.

On the other hand and as is conventional, the barrier it can be complemented at one or both ends with means of coupling for continued assembly of barriers, and thus form a stretch of multiple barriers to delimit two zones with a certain number of meters, and whose attachment means or coupling can be complementary angular profiles that they hook each other and keep a barrier to adjoining

It also has the advantage that being the bellows type barrier, allows not only its extensibility rectilinearly, but also establish arched paths, by example to close an arched edge enclosure, to kill a corner, etc.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that then it will be done and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization thereof, is accompanied as an integral part of that description, a set of drawings in where illustrative and not limiting, it has been represented the next:

Figure 1.- Shows a representation schematic corresponding to a perspective view of the barrier carried out in accordance with the object of the invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a schematic view of the barrier represented in the previous figure, according to an elevation lateral in intermediate folding situation.

Figure 3.- Finally shows a detail in side elevation of the interconnection between two barriers.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As you can see in the referred figures, the Road separation barrier object of the invention is constituted by a structure (1) as a bellows or bee panel, which enables its extensibility and folding, as represented in the Figures 1 and 2, so that this barrier structure (1) presents at its ends two racks (2) of remarkable rigidity, each of which has a rod (3) and a hole (4), which in the Extensibility of the barrier does not constitute an obstacle to the use of that, while in folding, the stem (3) of the frame (2) faces and locates in the hole (4) of the frame opposite, so that by means of corresponding plugs (5) or similar elements, keep the barrier folded, being able to appreciate in figure 2 said partially folded barrier and facing the ends of the stems (3) to the holes (4) corresponding, so that in the total folding the caps (5) act as a clamping element of the barrier in a folded situation, with a minimum volumetric occupancy that allows easy manipulation and more importantly, an occupation of space minimum in storage as well as in transport.

Finally say that the referred barrier can include elements (6) for engagement with another similar barrier, such and as depicted in figure 3, and thus form a succession continued of barriers assembled or interconnected with each other to form a road separation of a certain length.

Claims (3)

1. Road separation barrier, which is intended for use as a means of beaconing or separation of tracks, or for other uses, and is preferably materialized in plastic, is characterized in that it has a bellows structure or bee panel. 2. Road separation barrier, according to claim 1, characterized in that it optionally includes at its ends external coupling elements for assembly with other similar barriers, as well as auxiliary closing elements in inoperative situation, anti-slip elements and elements to ensure the stability of parts extreme 3. Road separation barrier according to claim 1, characterized in that the ends of the barrier structure include rigid frames, each of which is provided with a rod and a hole, such that the rod of a frame the opposite frame hole is faced and vice versa, said confrontation establishing the location of the end of each rod in the respective hole, to keep the barrier folded through the collaboration of external plugs.
