Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a safety and warning delineator.
  • Delineators are known being constituted by rods which have a certain height and bear reflector panels of adapted colors and sizes prescribed by the highway code; luminous delineators for critical points are also provided which must ensure uniform lighting and avoid dazzling.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a safety and warning delineator which combines, in the same item, the characteristics of an ordinary delineator and of a luminous delineator, is particularly adapted for critical points and in case of fog or other atmospheric events and/or in case of danger, and can be installed directly on the ground or coupled to metallic or concrete guardrails.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a safety and warning delineator whose indications can be controlled remotely according to the environmental and danger conditions that must be indicated to users.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a structure which is simple, relatively easy to provide in practice, safe in use, effective in operation, and has a relatively low cost.
  • a safety and warning delineator constituted by two vertically elongated symmetrical half-shells which can be coupled frontally to each other, characterized in that it comprises, at a lower end thereof, means for fixing to fixed supports and in that at least one reflector element and at least one luminous delineator element are arranged on the front surface of one half-shell, said luminous delineator element being provided with an antiglare light source circuitally connected to a power supply unit which controls the frequency and power of the supply according to environmental and/or danger conditions.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates a safety and warning delineator according to the invention.
  • the delineator 1 is constituted by two half-shells 2 and 3 which are substantially symmetrical, are produced by molding materials such as plastics, are peripherally provided with respective lips and complementary lips 4a and 4b (see Figure 5) for interlocking, are vertically elongated and can be coupled frontally to each other by means of screws 5.
  • the half-shells 2 and 3 are vertically elongated, end in an upward region with an inclined profile 6 and with rounded corners 6a and 6b and have a cross-section (see Figure 10) shaped like right-angled trapezoids having corners 7 which are in turn rounded and have dimensions which are elongated in the direction of the altitude of the trapezoids.
  • the half-shells 2 and 3 are cut, at the base, along an inclined plane which descends toward the shorter sides of the trapezoidal cross-sections and are open for interlocking insertion and fixing, by means of at least one through screw 8 of a connecting segment 9, to a fixed support:
  • the segment 9, as shown in Figures 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b and 3 can be the end part of a post P which is designed to be driven directly into the ground, or can be the end part of a bracket S1 for fixing to a metal guardrail 50 or ( Figure 2d) to a bracket S1 for fixing to a concrete guardrail 60.
  • the first half-shell 2 On the front surface of the first half-shell 2 there is at least one reflector element, in the specific case two reflecting elements 10a, 10b arranged one above the other, whereas a reflecting element 10c is fitted in the second half-shell 3; the elevation from the ground, the dimensions and the color of the reflector elements 10a, 10b are prescribed by highway code standards.
  • Each one of the elements 10a, 10b is circular or polygonal in shape and can be inserted and locked in a respective seat 11 (see Figures 7-8) provided in the surface of the half-shells; the seat 11 has a recess 12 which is shaped so as to match the element 10a, 10b for heat coupling, or optionally coupling by means of an adhesive, of the element 10.
  • the seat 11 has, at the center, a complementary stud 13 with a hole 14 for an optional screw 15 for coupling the center of the refractor element 10.
  • the reference numeral 16 generally designates a luminous delineator element provided with a dazzle-free (antiglare) light source 17 which is circuitally connected to a power supply designed to be remotely controlled by a monitoring network, optionally a temporary or emergency network, which is capable of driving the frequency and power of the supply according to the environmental conditions (fog, smoke, ash, snow, etcetera).
  • a monitoring network optionally a temporary or emergency network, which is capable of driving the frequency and power of the supply according to the environmental conditions (fog, smoke, ash, snow, etcetera).
  • the light source 17 is advantageously constituted by a circular or polygonal disk 18 covered by a plurality of very small lamps 19 of the type known as LED, which provide considerable assurances in terms of antiglare, durability and functional strength: moreover, the breakage of some of the lamps does not compromise the operation of the system, offering assurances of maximum safety.
  • the element 16 is provided with means for adjusting the relative orientation with respect to the half-shell which comprise a recessed seat 20 of the first half-shell 2 having a certain depth and having, at the center, a conical raised portion 21 ending with a pin 22 and in which the inlet is closed by a transparent disk 23 which can be fixed to the half-shell 2 by means of screws screwed into corresponding perforated studs 24 which are distributed around the seat 20.
  • the disk 23 is centrally provided with a complementarily shaped pin 25 which can be coupled to a central hole of the disk 18 being designed to cooperate with the pin 22 in order to support the disk 18 with an adjustable orientation.
  • the disk 18 is provided with two perimetric notches 26a and 26b which are mutually spaced by 90 degrees and can be engaged by mushroom-shaped heads 27 of respective adjustment bolts 28 which are screwed into respective studs 29a, 29b which are formed peripherally to the seat and are mutually spaced by 90 degrees.
  • the notches 26a and 26b have a helical shape so as to allow, by rotation, easy fitting on the mushroom-shaped heads of the bolts 28.
  • the bolts 28 have, on their head, a notch 30 for actuation by means of a screwdriver and have an annular recess for an annular gasket 31 of the type known by the trade-name O-Ring for forming a seal against the respective cylindrical seat: the actuation of one bolt 28 or the other allows to adjust the angle that the axis of the disk 18 forms with respect to the horizontal and vertical plane in order to arrange the disk 18 in the ideal lighting condition with respect to the direction of travel of the vehicles: it is thus possible to provide correct linearity of the light beam produced by the delineators installed in succession.
  • the gasket 31 due to its particular concept, ensures, besides to a watertight seal, that the setting of the disk 18 is maintained even in the presence of vibrations caused by the passage of vehicles.
  • the seat 20 On the bottom of the seat 20 there is provided a hole 32 for fixing a grommet 33 for the power supply of the light source, and the seat also accommodates a small connecting printed circuit board 34.
  • the invention achieves the intended aim and objects, and in particular a safety and warning delineator is provided which combines the characteristics of an ordinary delineator and of a luminous delineator and is adapted to indicate critical points or for luminous guidance and in case of fog or other atmospheric and/or dangerous events: the delineator according to the invention can be installed directly on the ground or coupled to the metallic or concrete guardrails and its indications can be remotely controlled according to environmental conditions and dangers that must be indicated to users.
