Definitions
- the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a security barrier as well as the security barrier produced by the implementation of the method.
- the invention will particularly find its application in the metal construction industry for the manufacture in particular of barriers intended to contain crowds at public events.
- barriers are generally made in mechanically welded construction from bent tubes to form a frame, the interior of which is lined with bars and at the bottom of which the feet are brought by welding to ensure the balance of the assembly.
- German patent DE-B-2142240 a transportable barrier in particular intended to support a signaling beacon.
- the barrier is constituted by two U in metal tube embedded in one another joined by clamping sleeves.
- the U placed outside constitutes the vertical uprights and the top rail of the barrier while the U placed inside reinforces the vertical uprights and constitutes the bottom rail.
- each end of the U is folded in staggered rows to form identical and symmetrical feet on each side of the barrier.
- the object of the present invention is to present a method of manufacturing a safety barrier in which a reduced number of parts are used, and which does not require a manufacturing step in which the support support feet are brought back of the barrier.
- the manufacturing method of the present invention makes it possible to obtain a safety barrier, which will find its use in particular to constitute a free obstacle to the movement of vehicles or pedestrians by forming a rampart of adjacent barriers joined together, which allow the said square gates to get worse with other gates of the same type and which also allow relative rotation at a closed angle between the gates assembled consecutively.
- the barrier of the present invention will have indisputable advantages over existing barriers of the prior art, in terms of transport and storage of the barriers thanks to stacking squared, as well as at the level of their use by forming an adjustable rampart without the feet of neighboring barriers constituting an obstacle to free rotation and, moreover, having perfect stability.
- the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a security barrier.
- Safety barriers find their application in particular to obstruct the free movement of vehicles or pedestrians.
- Said barriers are generally provided with hooking means which make it possible to form a continuous bead of barriers to ensure a rampart making it possible, for example, to surround a danger zone.
- the safety barriers 1 as illustrated in FIG. 1, generally consist of a tubular frame 2 encircling separation elements 3 which can be a mesh and more often bars 3.
- the barrier 1 is kept in balance on the floor via feet 4 and 5.
- the frame 2 is generally formed by two lateral uprights 6 and 7, a top rail 8 and a bottom rail 9. Furthermore, the frame 2 is equipped with hooking means 10.
- the safety barriers are made by mechanical welding of tubes.
- the cross section of the tubes can be of any shape, however, generally, the circular section is retained.
- the present invention may be applied regardless of the shape of the section of the profile chosen, however for reasons of lightness and strength, it will be preferred to use a tube of circular section.
- At least one of the feet 4 or 5 is formed by bending one end of the tube used to make one of the uprights 6 or 7 , and by bending the end of the tube used to make the bottom heald 9 and by fixing said tubes.
- legs 11 and 12 are thus formed which form the foot 4, said legs 11 and 12 being arranged on either side of the barrier and thus provide it with a balanced.
- foot 5 by bending the end 13 of the tube used to make the upright 7 and bending the end 14 of the tube used to make the base rail 9.
- the legs 13 and 14 form the foot 5, arranged on either side of the barrier 1.
- the manufacturing process of the present invention it is possible to apply the forming of the feet for the confection of the foot 4 or of the foot 5 or the confection of the feet 4 and 5. It is preferable to provide the barrier 1 with two feet 4 and 5 protruding on either side thereof which provides it with better stability, however, one of the legs could be made by extending the end of the upright 7 without bending to form a right leg.
- the manufacturing method of the present invention consists of shaping the frame 2 and the feet 4 and by bending a tube 15 to form the top rail 8 and the uprights 6 and 7 and also at least one end 11 or 13 of said tube 15 to form a tab 11 or 13 of feet 4 or 5.
- a second tube 16 is formed on said tube 15 which forms the bottom rail 9 and of which at least one end 12 or 14 is curved to form the other tab 12 or 14 of the foot 4 or 5.
- the frame and the legs 4 and 5 are formed by bending a tube 15 to make the uprights 6 and 7 and the upper beam 8 and the two legs 11 and 13 of the legs 4 and 5 and by fixing the beam lower 9 formed by a tube 16 bent at each end to form the legs 12 and 14 complementary to the feet 4 and 5.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a safety barrier 1 seen from above provided with two projecting legs 4 and 5 on either side thereof.
- the tube 16 intended to form the bottom rail 9 is bent so that it comes to be fixed between the uprights 6 and 7.
- the tab 12 is welded to the inner face of the upright 6 as illustrated in FIG. 4. A certain offset is thus created between the tabs 11 and 12 and 13 and 14.
- the ends 11, 12, 13 and 14 of the tubes 15 and 16 bent for making the uprights 6 and 7 and the bottom rail 9 are bent so that the legs 11, 12, 13 and 14 thus formed have an offset during the fixing of said tubes 15 and 16.
- This implementation makes it possible to entangle the barriers 1 as shown in FIG. 5.
- the offset of the legs 11, 12, 13 and 14 of the feet 4 and 5 of the barrier 1 makes it possible to slide the barriers 1 together. in the others as illustrated in FIG. 5.
- This possibility of stacking squares of the barriers 1 one inside the other is particularly advantageous for reducing the area occupied on the ground when the barriers are stored.
- the frames 2 of the barriers 1 can be juxtaposed since, due to the offset of the legs, these no longer constitute an obstacle for the passage of the legs of the neighboring barrier.
- the ends 11, 12, 13 and 14 of the tubes 15 and 16 used for making the frame 2 are bent so as to form legs 11, 12, 13 and 14 of feet 4 and 5 of different dimensions at each end, as shown in Figures 6 and 7.
- This particular implementation makes it possible to obtain feet 4 and 5 of different size while maintaining good stability of the barrier and horizontality of the beams, furthermore allow a neighboring barrier articulation at any angle, even a very closed angle.
- the rotation of a barrier 17 relative to a barrier 18 does not present any obstacle since the foot 19 of the barrier 18 which, for example, corresponds to the feet of smaller size, can rotate between the legs 20 and 21 which constitute the foot 22 of the barrier 17, of larger size.
- the manufacturing method according to the preferred embodiment thereof allows many advantages to be obtained such as free rotation of the barriers with respect to each other and also stacking squared of the barriers.
- the safety barrier 1 of the present invention is characterized in that at least one of the legs 4 and 5 is produced by folding the two ends 11, 12, or 13, 14 of the tubes 15 and 16 used for making the frame 2 .
- the feet 4 and 5 are formed by lugs 11, 12, 13, 14 projecting from either side of the barrier 1 and the lengths of which are different for each foot 4 and 5 as illustrated in FIG. 3.
- the angle of divergence with respect to the uprights 6 and 7 of the legs 11, 12 and 13, 14 of the legs 4 and 5 is different for the manufacture of each of the legs 4 and 5.
