Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for securing a road entry.
  • JP H06 71515 U are road barriers including concrete elements having horizontally extending through holes fitted with detachable poles.
  • GB 2 434 393 A shows a barrier system for restricting vehicular access consisting of a support with an elongate hollow arm mounted on it to enable linear reciprocal movement by means of a motor.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a solution to at least one of the aforementioned and other disadvantages.
  • the invention relates to a device for securing a road entry as defined in claim 1. Also a set of such devices is defined in claims 12 and 13.
  • the profile can be simply and quickly extended out of the concrete block to block the road entry. To clear the road entry again the profile is retracted in the other direction (toward the concrete block). Preferably this extending or retracting can be done by one person, manually, without extra help.
  • the device for securing a road entry can be temporary or permanent.
  • the concrete blocks are movable using any transport.
  • the concrete block can already be placed beforehand while the road entry is still open. Once the road entry needs to be blocked, only the profile needs to be extended over the road entry.
  • the profile is supported by the concrete block.
  • the profile is positioned horizontally extendable in the longitudinal direction 1 of the concrete block.
  • the profile is extendable on two roller bearers that are positioned in the longitudinal direction of the concrete block.
  • the profile is extendable on both sides of the concrete block.
  • the profile is extendable through the concrete block both on the left and the right. In this way the concrete block can be placed both on the left and right of the road entry.
  • the profile is extendable from the concrete block with a free end over a maximum length L-l. L is the total length of the profile and 1 the length of the concrete block in the direction in which the profile extends.
  • the profile is extended to its maximum when the one end touches the concrete such that the profile is always supported by two roller bearers.
  • the concrete block is made of reinforced concrete. This strengthens the device for securing a road entry and prevents the concrete block from shattering or the profiles from coming loose in case of impact.
  • the reinforced concrete block is provided with a housing in the form of a steel bar in which the extendable profile is mounted.
  • the concrete block has a broadened base and can be narrower at the top.
  • the profile is made of steel.
  • the concrete block must have sufficient mass to be able to offer resistance against a crash impact on the profile.
  • the profile is an I-profile that is positioned extendably via roller bearers.
  • the middle leg of the I-profile is hereby positioned horizontally, whereby the two end legs are positioned vertically.
  • the letter I of the profile is thus 90 degrees turned in cross-section.
  • the I-profile is also very strong in terms of construction and offers the most efficient security against bending or breaking.
  • the free end of the profile is fitted with an interlocking.
  • the interlocking ensures that the free ends of two extended profiles are interlocked with each other such that they will not come loose in case of a possible impact or cannot be retracted. In this way a road entry is interlocked by two concrete blocks, one on each side of the road, and two extended profiles.
  • the free end of one profile is interlocked with another concrete block. In this way a road entry is secured by only one concrete block with an extendable profile.
  • each concrete block is provided with a profile that is extendable toward the other.
  • the free ends of the profiles that extend toward each other are provided with means that interlock with each other.
  • such means consist of on the one hand a V-shaped receiving piece and on the other hand a straight piece that is received between the legs of the V-piece whereby both are interlocked by a locking pin.
  • the interlocking needs to meet one important requirement: not tear or come loose in case of a collision impact. Furthermore, the interlocking must not be manipulatable.
  • the V-shaped part on the first profile comprises two plates provided on the middle bar of the I-profile, whereby the plates are provided with a tip on their end that is bending away from the other one, whereby the first plate is welded on top of the middle bar and the second plate is welded underneath the middle bar and whereby the other I-profile is placeable with the end of the middle bar between both plates.
  • the means that interlock into each other comprise the following parts: a locking pin and corresponding openings for the locking pin in both V-shaped parts of the first profile and in the end of the second profile; whereby the locking pin is provided at the top with an interlocking part A comprising a flat plate provided with a welded part; and the profile with V-shaped part is provided with a complementary interlocking part B comprising a flat plate provided with a welded part; and the flat plate is provided with an opening for the locking pin, which on locking aligns with the openings;
  • both interlocking parts are provided with an upstanding edge in the form of a semicircle and together form an upstanding edge in the form of a circle; and both interlocking parts are provided with a vertical upstanding edge in the middle of the virtual circle, whereby the upstanding edges lie against each other on interlocking.
  • the device is also provided with a circular caplock provided within the circumference of the upstanding edge of the circle that is formed by both interlocking parts when the locking pin is mounted in the corresponding openings of the closed profiles.
  • a groove is provided centrally in the caplock to receive the vertical upstanding edges.
  • the caplock is optionally provided with a lock.
  • the profile is provided with a stop at the other end of the concrete block.
  • the stop prevents the profile from sliding through the concrete block such that the profile would come loose from the concrete block.
  • the free end of the profile is supported on a support block.
  • Such support block can be a slightly lighter concrete block on which the profile can support and be interlocked.
  • Such support block can be used to support one or two profile ends.
  • the concrete block is provided with two recesses on the bottom for a lift fork.
  • the concrete block is provided with a central recess on the bottom to anchor it to a post or vertically to the ground.
  • the concrete block is then put on the post or another vertical solid structure, such that the concrete block certainly cannot move. That offers an extra security.
  • the post can also be used to safeguard the correct positioning of the concrete block.
  • a second set of concrete blocks with interlocked profiles can be provided immediately behind or at a distance of, for example, 5, 10 or 20m from a first set of concrete blocks with interlocked profiles.
  • the concrete blocks and/or profiles positioned behind each other can possibly be interlocked with each other.
  • two concrete blocks can be used for one profile, whereby the profile can extend through both concrete blocks and be supported.
  • the concrete block is provided on its side (underneath where the profile extends) with a coupler, i.e. a cylindrical recess with internal thread to connect the concrete blocks to each other in a fixed way.
  • a method for securing a road entry via a device comprises the following steps:
  • a method for quickly clearing a secure road entry via a device comprises the following steps:
  • FIG. 1 shows a preferred execution with two concrete blocks 2 of a device 1 according to the invention.
  • Each concrete block 2 is placed on the side of the road entry.
  • Each concrete block 2 comprises a (partly) extended profile 3.
  • a concrete block weighs for example 3,500kg and comprises 1,438m 3 of concrete.
  • each profile contains interlocking means 6, one in the form of a V-shaped receiving piece and the other in the form of a straight piece that can slide between the legs of the V in the receiving piece when the profiles 3 are extended against each other.
  • the other end 4" of the profile 3 is fitted with a stop 5 such that the profile end 4" is stopped at the concrete block when extending.
  • Figure 2 shows a cross-section in a longitudinal direction of the concrete block 2 according to line II-II of figure 1 .
  • This shows how an I-profile 3 is positioned extendably via two roller bearers 7 provided at the ends of the concrete block 2.
  • the roller bearers are provided with rollers that run directly on the centre piece of the profile 3.
  • the concrete block 2 contains two recesses 8 at the bottom of the concrete block for the teeth of a lift fork.
  • a recess 10 is also provided in the bottom centre of the concrete block to place the concrete block 2 over a post or for vertical anchoring 9. The post is anchored in the ground 11.
  • Figure 3 shows a cross-section in transversal direction of the concrete block 2 according to line III-III of figure 1 .
  • the profile 3 is supported by the roller bearers 7.
  • the concrete block 2 is provided with a recess 10 for a post 9 or vertical anchoring with the ground 11.
  • FIG 4 schematically shows a preferred embodiment of an interlocking mechanism 6 of two profile ends 4'.
  • the interlocking comprises a V-shaped receiving piece on the first profile end and a straight piece on the second profile end that can slide between the legs of the V-shaped receiving piece when the profiles 3 are extended against each other.
  • the interlock is such that the holes 12 have to be aligned opposite each other such that the locking pin 13 fits in the holes and thus interlocks both profiles.
  • FIG. 5 schematically shows an execution of an alternative support block 14 for support of the profile ends 4'. The free ends are thus extra supported.
  • Figure 6 schematically shows a preferred embodiment of an interlocking 6 of two I-profiles 3 according to figure 4 .
  • the one I-profile 3 (left profile in this example) is provided with a V-shaped part 15, 16.
  • two plates are 15, 16 provided on the middle bar 17 of the I-profile 3.
  • the two plates 15, 16 have a tip 18 on their end that is bending away from the other one which increases the space between the plates toward the end of the plates.
  • Plate 15 is welded on top of the middle bar 17, plate 16 at the bottom of the middle bar 17.
  • both plates 15, 16 are attached and reinforced to the middle bar 17 via two bolts/nuts 20 in the provided openings 21. Consequently, the attachment is prevented from tearing in case of a possible impact.
  • the other I-profile 3 (right profile in this example) extends with the end 4' of the middle bar 22 in or between the V-shaped part 15, 16.
  • the end 4' of the middle bar 22 is provided with a welded plate 23.
  • a corresponding opening 24 is provided for a locking pin 25.
  • both profile ends 4' are extended into each other, until both I-profiles touch or almost touch each other, the openings 24 fit into each other and the locking pin 25 can be put through.
  • the locking pin 25 is provided at the top with an extra interlocking part A consisting of a flat plate 28 provided with a welded part 26, 27.
  • the profile 3 with V-shaped part 15, 16 is provided with a complementary interlocking part B that is welded on the profile 3 via a flat plate 31.
  • the flat plate 31 is provided with a welded part 29, 30.
  • the flat plate 31 is also provided with an opening 32 for the locking pin 25. On locking, the opening 32 is aligned with the openings 24.
  • Both interlocking parts A, B comprise an upstanding edge 26, 29 in the form of a semicircle and together form an upstanding edge in the form of a circle. In the one part the semicircle is interrupted to make room for a lock 35. Both interlocking parts are also provided with a vertical upstanding edge 27, 30 in the centre of the virtual circle. These upstanding edges 27,30 lie next to each other on interlocking.
  • a circular caplock 33 is provided within the circumference of the upstanding edge 26, 29 of the circle formed by both interlocking parts A, B.
  • a groove 34 is provided centrally in the caplock 33 which is slid over the vertical upstanding edges 27, 30. Subsequently the caplock 33 is locked with a lock 35, such that the lock cannot be opened without a key or code.
  • the locking pin 25 can be attached via a welded ring 36 and chain to a welded ring 36 of a profile 3. Indeed, the pin 25 is the only loose part in the whole.
  • Both profile ends 4' are provided with a handle in the form of a cylindrical rod to extend or retract the profiles. This is done manually and can easily be done by one person.
  • a bump stop 5 is provided to cushion the impact of the extension.
  • a crash test was carried out on a device for securing a road entry consisting of two concrete blocks with a distance of 11m between each other and two interlocked steel I-profiles of 140x140.
  • Each concrete block had a size of 2.18m by 1.10m by 1.10m and weighed 4 tonnes.
  • the lorry weighed 7.5 tonnes and drove at an incoming speed of 48 kph on the device for securing a road entry. 2 seconds after impact the lorry came to a standstill 13m behind the device for securing a road entry.
  • the interlocking of the profiles remained intact.
  • the profiles were bent around the lorry and the concrete blocks had moved to each other slightly.
