Definitions

  • the invention relates to mounting arrangements for masts, for example, traffic lights or traffic signs are attached.
  • masts are currently attached with the help of dowels to concrete blocks that are present in the ground, or they are in concrete blocks, for. B. Foundations, concreted. Since the masts for traffic lights, sign bridges or the like are in the immediate vicinity of the roadway, it often happens that a car drives against the mast. In the case of smaller vehicles, for example cars, there is a risk that the vehicle will be severely damaged, with the risk of injury to the occupants. If, on the other hand, a heavier vehicle drives against such a mast, for example a truck, either the dowels are often torn out of the concrete block or this itself is torn out of the ground.
  • the mast attachment cannot be repaired by replacing the dowels, but must be made again.
  • the same applies to masts to which other objects are attached provided that the masts are in the area of the road are located. For example, this also includes the masts for lamps.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the attachment of masts in terms of safety and damage.
  • the mast attachment should be able to be repaired simply by replacing the dowels after a vehicle has impacted the mast.
  • the invention proposes a fastening arrangement with the features of claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims, the wording of which, like the wording of the abstract, is made by reference to the content of the description.
  • the fastening arrangement is usually carried out by means of dowels which are widened. If the expansion of the dowel is done by moving an expansion body into the dowel sleeve, the dowel can be designed so that the pretensioning force required for the correct attachment of the mast is achieved when the expansion body has not yet been completely moved into the dowel sleeve is.
  • the dowel rod which can be, for example, a screw bolt or a threaded rod, is screwed onto a nut is something is pulled out in the direction of action of the dowel. If the load remains in a frame that does not yet fully expand the dowel, the nut can be tightened after removal of the load, so that the attachment can be restored.
  • This possibility of the dowel giving way means that the mast also dodges somewhat, so that damage to the motor vehicle that has been driven against the mast can be kept within limits and the risk of injury to the occupants is low.
  • the dowel is designed in such a way that the sleeve element detaches from the wall of the hole in the axial direction when a certain even higher pull-out force is exceeded. In this way, a threshold can be set up which, when exceeded, results in a further movement of the dowel rod.
  • the sleeve element has a stop acting in the axial direction for the expanding body. This stop can serve to limit the movement of the expansion body relative to the sleeve element, so that a further increasing pull-out force then occurs the connection between the dowel sleeve and the wall of the hole acts.
  • the sleeve element and / or the wall of the hole has at least one projection which is pressed into the other element when the dowel is widened.
  • the projection is designed such that it is sheared off when a certain pull-out force is exceeded. If the projection is attached to the outside of the dowel sleeve, this shearing leads to the fact that a new dowel can later be inserted into the hole, which has the same function as the first dowel.
  • the hole is designed in such a way that it has a constriction in the region of its outer end which is dimensioned in this way is that it allows the unexpanded dowel to be inserted.
  • the invention proposes that the narrowing can be dimensioned such that it does not allow the expanded dowel to be pulled out. In this way, a further threshold can be set up, which is effective when the pull-out force is even higher.
  • the narrowing at the end of the hole has a funnel-like transition to the cylindrical part of the hole.
  • This funnel-shaped transition also makes it possible to remove the dowel again when the expansion body is pushed back by holding the sleeve in place. The funnel shape then allows the sleeve to narrow so that it can be pulled out.
  • the sleeve element has a device on which it can be held from the outside of the hole. This holding on makes sense if you want to push the expander back, then pull the sleeve element and then the expander out of the hole.
  • the invention makes it possible to design the fastening arrangement so that not only is the load for the occupant of a motor vehicle kept within reasonable limits, which drives against the mast, but also gives the possibility of fastening in almost all cases by exchanging the dowels renew.
  • the hole into which the dowel is inserted can be formed, for example, by a cavity in a concrete block. It is also possible for the hole to be formed through the inside of a metal tube.
  • the invention proposes to use several holes, each with a dowel, for fastening masts.
  • the invention also proposes a dowel for fastening masts or the like, which is designed as described in the present application.
  • the invention proposes the use of a dowel as described herein for fastening masts for traffic lights, signs, sign bridges or the like.
  • the dowel be fastened with a pretensioning force which is dimensioned such that the fastening remains intact if a certain load is placed on the mast. If this load is exceeded, the expansion body of the dowel is moved further into the dowel sleeve while moving the dowel rod. This leads to the mentioned flexibility of the fastening and thus the mast, which thereby converts part of the impact energy of the motor vehicle into the deformation of the dowel.
  • the mast can be properly re-attached by retightening the nuts on the dowels. If the load is even higher, the dowel sleeve is moved relative to the wall of the hole.
  • the loads at which the further movement of the dowel by pulling the expansion element into the sleeve element and then sliding of the sleeve element in the hole, and the load at which the dowel rod tears, are determined so that on the one hand the fastening in many cases by retightening the nuts can be repaired, and on the other hand, the occupants of a vehicle causing the load are not harmed.
  • the invention also proposes a method with the features mentioned in claim 21.
  • Fig. 1 shows an exploded perspective of the manner in which a mast 1 is attached.
  • the mast 1 is welded onto a plate 2.
  • the steel plate 2 has a square shape and increases the footprint compared to your mast 1. Their thickness can be chosen so that the plate 2 does not deform significantly under load. However, the plate can also be designed so that it bends under a certain load (flexible plate).
  • In the area of each corner 3 of the plate 2 there is a hole 4.
  • the plate 2 is fastened to the frame 6 shown below in FIG. 1 with the aid of dowels 5, only one of which is shown in FIG. 1. This frame 6 is concreted.
  • the tubes 7 contain four mutually parallel tubes 7 to be arranged, the inside diameter of which is smaller in the area of the upper end than along the remaining length, the widening taking place in a funnel shape.
  • the tubes 7 are welded in the corners of a frame 8 in the region of their upper ends.
  • the frame contains four angle profiles 9 which are butt welded together in the region of their ends.
  • the corners are reinforced by inclined webs 10.
  • the tubes 7 are connected to one another by angle profiles 12, these angle profiles likewise forming a frame.
  • This frame 6 is concreted so that the upper level of the horizontal flanges of the Profiles 9 and the ends of the tubes 7 is formed, is flush with the top of the resulting concrete block.
  • the plate 2 is placed on the frame 6 and fastened to the frame or the pipes 7 with the aid of the dowels 5 proposed by the invention.
  • a pull-out force is calculated until the mast should stop.
  • the dowel is selected so that it causes this pull-out force with a certain tightening torque for the given diameter of the tube 7.
  • the dowel is then inserted into the tube or first fixed to the plate 2 with its dowel rod and then inserted into the tube 7.
  • the mast is brought into the final position and provisionally fixed. The dowel then assumes the position shown schematically in FIG. 2.
  • the dowel contains a dowel sleeve 13, which is designed, for example, by longitudinal slots in such a way that it can be expanded by an expansion body 14.
  • the cone angle of the expansion body 14 and the dowel sleeve 13 can be chosen so small that the spreading force is slowly increased by a large movement.
  • a dowel rod 15 is connected to the expansion body 14, the axial movement of which pulls the expansion body 14 into the sleeve element 13 of the dowel.
  • the dowel rod 15 can be a threaded rod, onto which a nut 16 is screwed from the opposite side of the plate 2.
  • the dowel rod 15 could be a screw that has a head on the outside of the plate 2 has and which is screwed into an internal thread of the expansion body 14.
  • the dowel sleeve 13 contains at its end facing the outside of the tube 17 a plate 18 provided with a through opening, which thus forms a base for the sleeve element 13.
  • the stop 23 can also be achieved by narrowing the sleeve 13 at the sleeve end, for example by compressing or bending the sleeve and / or increasing the wall thickness.
  • the sleeve element 13 contains on its outside at least one rib 19 which extends wholly or partly over the circumference and which can have a sharp edge 20.
  • Fig. 2 shows the dowel in an unexpanded state. If the nut 16 is now rotated, the expansion body 14 is drawn into the sleeve element 13, which leads to the rib 19 being pressed into the inner surface 21 of the tube 7. This indentation can be facilitated if the rib 19 has a sharp edge 20. The nut 16 is further rotated until the tightening torque mentioned above is reached. This situation is shown in Fig. 3. Here the rib 19 has buried itself deep into the wall 21 of the tube 7. In this position corresponding to the maximum desired load on the mast, the expansion body 14 has not yet moved completely into the sleeve element 13, but preferably only by less than half the possible path.
  • the load on the mast 1 is significantly lower than this corresponds to the tightening torque of the anchor. This also applies if a vehicle hits the mast at low speed. Now occurs a case where the Load on the mast 1 exceeds this limit load, for example because a motor vehicle drives to the mast at a higher speed, then a pulling force occurs on the dowel rod 15, which leads to a displacement of the pull rod 15. This means that the expansion body 14 is moved further into the sleeve element 13, since the sleeve element 13 is connected to the tube 7 in a non-displaceable manner by the projection 19. This further movement may lead to the position shown in FIG. 4, where the expander body 14 rests with its front end face 22 on the plate 18 forming a stop.
  • the mast can now be released from the attachment to the frame 6 by unscrewing the nut 16 or the screw 17. Then, with the aid of a device, not shown, the sleeve element 13 can be held in place and the expansion body 14 can be pushed further down into the tube 7. Then it becomes possible to pull the sleeve element 13, which is no longer expanded by the expansion body, outwards through the front end 25 of the tube 7. Now a new dowel can be inserted into the tube 7 so that the old mast can now be re-attached or replaced with a new mast. The only small restriction must be made that the initial positioning of your new dowel must be chosen so that its rib 19 is not located at exactly the same location as the rib 19 remaining in the tube.
  • the sleeve element 13 with the expansion body 14 inserted in it remains attached to the constriction 25 which is formed at the outer end 24 of the tube 7.
  • the transition 26 between your cylindrical part of the tube 7 and the constriction 25 is conical or funnel-shaped.
  • the dowel can be removed in the same or a similar way as in FIG. 5.
  • the dangers for the occupants of motor vehicles are reduced and at the same time there is the possibility of reusing the frame 6, which remains unchanged in your concrete block, for fastening the mast.
  • the dowels can be removed from your frame 6 as described above and a new mast can be attached to the frame 6 with new dowels.
  • Fig. 7 shows a simplified design of the anchor. This dowel expands against the conical thinning of the pipe. It is a kind of undercut dowel. In the case shown here, too, the function described, namely the re-spreading under a certain load and the tearing off of the dowel rods under a higher load, can be fulfilled.
