Abstract

Bollard to transform an existing conventional, in normalized, characterized because it is constituted by a hollow body (1), which externally has no edges and presents some measures that comply with existing regulations, while the interior gap is enough to give fitted to a conventional bollard (2), on which this bollard is fitted.

DESCRIPTION

Bollard to transform an existing conventional one into a standardized one.

Object of the invention

As its own title indicates, the object of the invention is an element that makes it possible to transform a conventional, non-standardized bollard into another that complies with Order VIV / 561/2010, of February 1, which develops the technical document of basic conditions of accessibility and non-discrimination for the access and use of urbanized public spaces, in which the bollards installed in the areas of pedestrian use, which must have a height between 0.75 and 0, should be typified. 90 m, a minimum width or diameter of 10 cm and a rounded design without edges. In addition, they must be of a color that contrasts with the pavement in the whole piece or, at least in its upper section, ensuring its visibility at night hours.

The scope of the invention is the industry sector that deals with manufacturing or marketing all kinds of street furniture products, in a generalized way.

Background of the invention

Currently there are a wide range of bollards or bollards made of metal or plastic materials, generally manufactured by molding, for the most part are bodies of revolution but have a broken or irregular generatrix, so they offer a multitude of edges. In addition, many of these bollards have a height of less than 0.75 m, which is why, although they offer total resistance to collisions and strong or moderate impacts, produced by vehicles that attempt to access the restricted areas, they constitute a serious danger for pedestrians, particularly in case of agglomerations, since not seeing them the pedestrian can stumble on any of these obstacles and cause a strong blow or leg injury.

These reasons have probably been those that have led the Ministry of Housing to regulate these elements of urban furniture, but in the cities and towns of Spain there are many thousands of bollards that do not comply with the regulations, although with the primary function of preventing Vehicle access to certain areas.

of these bollards that we call conventional, for other standardized ones it would imply an unapproachable cost for many municipalities.

Description of the invention

The bollard object of the invention solves this problem, since with its implementation it would not be necessary to replace the existing conventional bollards, but it would be sufficient to place this bollard on top of each of the existing conventional bollards, fixing it on it or to the ground, to convert a conventional standardized bollard.

The bollard of the invention is screwed to the ground at the periphery of the existing conventional bollard. It can also be adhered to the conventional bollard, for which the inner hollow of the bollard of the invention has a similar shape to the existing conventional bollard, slightly oversized to accommodate the adhesive product used, which can be glue, cement, paste or polyurethane , depending on the material in which this bollard is manufactured.

This bollard can be manufactured in any metallic material, such as stainless steel, also in a plastic material, such as polyurethane, or even natural or artificial stone.

This bollard has a hollow body that externally complies with the regulations indicated in that it has no edges and has regulated measures in it, while the inner hollow is sufficient to accommodate a conventional bollard. To meet the visibility conditions at night hours, at least one photoelectric cell that feeds a small battery of a circuit with a twilight switch that feeds a series of LEDs located around the body is provided on the upper face of this element of this bollard, in conditions of low visibility. Optionally, reflective elements have also been placed in the body that forms this bollard.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being made and in order to facilitate the understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached to the present specification in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

Figure 1 shows elevation views and profile of a bollard (1) to cover a bollard (2) and provide a standardized configuration.

Figure 2 shows a perspective view of this bollard (1), partially sectioned to see the conventional bollard (2) hidden inside, in position before being fixed to the ground by bolts (5) or similar elements.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in the referenced figures, the bollard that makes it possible to transform an existing conventional bollard into a standardized bollard consists of a hollow body (1), which externally has no edges and presents measures that comply with existing regulations, while the hollow The interior is sufficient to accommodate a conventional bollard (2), on which the bollard (1) is wrapped and fixed on the ground by means of bolts (5). For this purpose, the body (1) has a lower base (11) that has a plurality of holes (12) through which it is screwed to the ground at the periphery of the existing bollard (2).

As can be seen in the figures, the body (1) has on the upper side one or several photoelectric cells (3) that feed a small battery of a twilight switch that feeds, under low visibility conditions, a series of LEDs (4) located around the body (1). Preferably, the upper cover or base (13) of the body (1) has a lateral inclination, which allows it to be oriented to the south to achieve optimum lighting conditions and a better recharging of the batteries.

Once the nature of the invention has been sufficiently described, as well as an example of a preferred embodiment, it is stated for the appropriate effects that certain modifications may be made as to the materials, shape, size and arrangement of the elements described and these may be modified. , provided that this does not imply an alteration of the essential characteristics of the invention that are claimed below:
