Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an extruded section of aluminum, its alloys, or other material suitable to be extruded, constituting a modular support element particularly suitable for urban furnishings and precisely for supporting, with anchoring with possibility of removal, traffic signs, module and various services forming street fittings and urbanistic equipment.
  • the equipment and the fittings both fixed and movable, which constitute a normal street furniture, are formed by a plurality of separate elements, such as lighting posts, various types of street barriers, posts and various types of supports for traffic signs and advertising placards, garden-seats and litterbins, flower-pots, as well as other fittings for supporting signs and particular services.
  • the whole of all of these fittings and equipment normally constitutes a type of particular furniture for streets and squares which, whilst can be regarded as agreeing with the function it must perform, not always, better, nearly never, is able to confer to the environment a rational, agreeable from the aesthetical point of view, appearance.
  • the street lighting and the (vertical) street signs are generally accomplished by using fixed posts or poles, with lamps and signs stably anchored at certain heights so that, in case of changes of the ligthing field, or of more correct positioning of the advertising messages or of street signs, it is always necessary to move the supports, or install additional supports in the desired areas; this, in practice, can cause a not much acceptable distribution of the fittings from an aesthetical point of view, especially in certain areas, such as, e.g., the historical city centres, and the like.
  • a purpose of the present invention is hence to provide, and place at disposal of the municipal administrations, and of other concerned boards, a particular modular section, substantially having the shape of a hollow post or support, structured in such a way as to result multifunctional, in the meaning of allowing any equipment, tools or services normally used for the street furniture to be supported, by anchoring with possibility of removal, and at the desired heights, with self-explanatory advantages, both economic and practical, as well as aesthetic and ornamental, over the systems of the prior art.
  • Another purpose of the invention is to provide an extruded section, substantially of aluminum and its alloys, for use in street furniture, so conceived as to receive a plurality of modules, and/or modular equipment, of various types and for different purposes, for example architectural and engineering purposes, and also such as to result highly reliable, unalterable over time, and suitable to be realized in the most suitable dimensions as required by the expected use.
  • a multifunctional modular section particularly suitable for street furniture and similar uses, which section is constituted, according to the present invention, by an extruded hollow body, of aluminum, its alloys or other suitable material for extrusion, of long shape, and such as to substantially constitute an element having the form of a post or of a similar support having a cross section constant, or gradually varying from one end to the other end, on the outer surface of said hollow section longitudinal grooves or raceways being provided, angularly spaced apart from each other, deep­set into the same section, and having a substantially dovetail-shaped, arched or prismatic cross section, such as to constitute continuous means for the anchoring, with possibility of removal, at heights variable at will, and by means of brackets or bolts having their head shaped according to the cross-­sectional shape of the said grooves, of tools and services for street furniture, such as lighting lamps, street signs and advertising placards, traffic-divider and pedestrian barriers,
  • said hollow section has a substantially ring-shaped, preferably quadrangular with well-rounded corners according to equal bending radii, cross section.
  • the multifunctional cross-section, modular section of the instant invention is substantially constituted by a long-shaped tubular body 1, of constant thickness, obtained by the extrusion of a metal material, such as aluminum or its alloys, other metal alloys having similar characteristics, or also other materials suitable to be extruded, such as plastic materials, or the like.
  • a metal material such as aluminum or its alloys, other metal alloys having similar characteristics, or also other materials suitable to be extruded, such as plastic materials, or the like.
  • the external appearance of the section results hence that of an aesthetically agreeable and smooth-surfaced post or support.
  • the constant cross section of the section is annular or substantially circular in shape; in Figs. 1 and 3, said section has the shape of a square, with the four corners rounded according to long bending radii R, equal to each other, so that the section assumes the appearance of a cylindrical body partly flattened in correspondence of four equidistant zones, indicated with the numerals 2, 2a, 2b, and 2c in Fig. 1.
  • a groove longitudinal relatively to the section, is provided; thereby, four grooves result, one groove per each flattened zone, which are indicated by the numerals 3, 3a, 3b and 3c.
  • Each groove is substantially constituted by a length 4, 4a, 4b and 4c, having the same thickness as of the same section, and shows a substantially rectangular inner area or hollow 5, 5a, 5b and 5c of reduced length relatively to that of the respective hollow.
  • the lengthwise extension of the grooves or raceways is substantially equal to the length of the post; they can also be shorter, if required, as well as have different dimensions, for possibly different use requirements. Furthermore, three of said grooves, spaced by 120° from each other, or also a smaller number thereof, can be provided.
  • a type of bracket or bolt 6 is provided (Fig. 2), constituted by a threaded stem, with a T-­shaped, lozenge-shaped head 6a at an end.
  • the head 6a has such a size as to allow it to be introduced, according to its smaller section 6b, into the groove 4, passing through the inlet 5, whilst its rotation by 90° inside the hollow 3, to the purpose of accomplishing its latching inside the same hollow against its drawing out, is allowed by the lozenge-shape of the same head.
  • stem 6 can be accomplished in an arched or anyway orientatable shape, so to allow a wider range of possibilities of positioning and orientation of the hanging tools.
  • the section 1 can be provided with grooves with their inner hollow having the shape of an arc of a circle, as indicated with the numeral 7 to exemplifying purposes in Fig. 3; in such case, the anchoring bolt 6b (Figs. 3a and 3b) is provided with a head 6c which is still flat, but of substantially semicircular shape, so to allow the same head to rotate inside the interior of the arched hollow of the groove 7, and its stopping to be accomplished by contrast against the inner edges of the opening 5.
  • the anchoring bolt 6b (Figs. 3a and 3b) is provided with a head 6c which is still flat, but of substantially semicircular shape, so to allow the same head to rotate inside the interior of the arched hollow of the groove 7, and its stopping to be accomplished by contrast against the inner edges of the opening 5.
  • the practical use of the above disclosed section can be carried out by positioning it vertically or horizontally, or also with various inclinations, and this in accordance with the function the individual services and tools must perform in a given environment with the advantage of allowing, by means of combinations of more sections and different tools or pieces of equipment, the obtainment of particular aesthetical and ornamental effects matching the characteristics of the environment the furniture is intended for.
  • the selection of such a highly light and unalterable material as aluminum and its alloys for the modular section of the present invention has shown to be particularly suitable for aesthetically and functionally matching all of the tools (parapets, barriers, garden-seats, etc.) and of the services (lamps, signs, and still others), which are essential for the best use of the landscape and for fulfilling the requirements of public communication and information.
