Such elements are generally fifty to eighty centimeters high and are either made of concrete or molded plastic. A system for marking and separating motorway lanes comprising such plastic elements is described in patent FR 91 06364 in the name of the company SODIREL.

Lesdits éléments sont de faible hauteur et comportent une partie centrale d'une section droite d'une forme générale trapézoïdale, se prolongeant de part et d'autre par deux plages de moindre inclinaison, qui forment les bords latéraux des éléments.Said elements are of low height and comprise a central part of a cross section of a generally trapezoidal shape, extending on both sides by two areas of less inclination, which form the lateral edges of the elements.

Lesdits éléments dits "bas" sont d'une hauteur sensiblement égale à la hauteur de deux anneaux superposés additionnés de deux fois l'épaisseur de la semelle desdits organes d'assemblage et la hauteur desdits organes n'excède pas la hauteur desdits éléments. Lesdits éléments bas comportent au moins deux larges gorges transversales qui s'étendent sur leur périphérie supérieure.Said so-called "bottom" elements are of a height substantially equal to the height of two superimposed rings added twice the thickness of the sole of said assembly members and the height of said members does not exceed the height of said elements. Said bottom elements comprise at least two large transverse grooves which extend on their upper periphery.

Dans une autre variante d'exécution, le dispositif comporte des éléments séparateurs d'une section droite d'une forme générale trapézoïdale, lesquels éléments dits "hauts" comportent à leur base un évidement longitudinal d'une section droite correspondant à celle des éléments bas, pour les recouvrir en les superposant. Lesdits éléments hauts comportent en outre deux larges nervures transversales qui s'étendent à la périphérie interne dudit évidement et qui coopèrent avec lesdites gorges des éléments bas, afin de réaliser le positionnement et l'encastrement desdits éléments hauts et bas.In another alternative embodiment, the device comprises elements separating a cross section of a generally trapezoidal shape, which so-called "high" elements have at their base a longitudinal recess of a cross section corresponding to that of the low elements , to cover them by overlapping them. Said high elements further comprise two large transverse ribs which extend at the internal periphery of said recess and which cooperate with said grooves of the low elements, in order to achieve the positioning and embedding of said high and low elements.

Lesdits éléments hauts comportent à leurs extrémités des anneaux d'assemblage, dont les anneaux de chacun des éléments sont décalés en hauteur, de telle sorte qu'après assemblage, les anneaux d'un élément sont superposés aux anneaux de l'éléments voisin, lesquels anneaux sont passés autour des balises fixées auxdits éléments bas.Said high elements have at their ends assembly rings, the rings of each of the elements are offset in height, so that after assembly, the rings of an element are superimposed on the rings of the neighboring element, which rings are passed around the tags attached to said bottom elements.

Le diamètre interne des anneaux est légèrement supérieur au diamètre externe des balises et les anneaux inférieurs sont situés dans la position montée des éléments hauts et bas à proximité des corps cylindriques des balises. Celles-ci comportent à leur périphérie supérieure un film réfléchissant et, dans la position montée des éléments "hauts" et "bas", la partie supérieure des éléments "hauts" se situe sensiblement au niveau du bord inférieur du film réfléchissant des balises.The internal diameter of the rings is slightly greater than the external diameter of the beacons and the lower rings are located in the mounted position of the high and low elements near the cylindrical bodies of the beacons. These comprise at their upper periphery a reflective film and, in the mounted position of the "high" and "low" elements, the upper part of the "high" elements is situated substantially at the level of the lower edge of the reflective film of the beacons.

Le résultat de l'invention est un système évolutif et adaptable, permettant de résoudre les problèmes liés à la séparation des flux de circulation, afin d'éviter aux véhicules d'emprunter une voie à contre-sens de la circulation ; de séparer les flots de circulation opposés ; de séparer un chantier autoroutier du flux de circulationThe result of the invention is a scalable and adaptable system, making it possible to solve the problems associated with the separation of traffic flows, in order to avoid vehicles using a lane in the opposite direction to traffic; to separate the opposing traffic flows; to separate a motorway site from the traffic flow

Le concept modulaire du dispositif et les moyens d'assemblage rapides des éléments entre eux, permettent de mettre en place, dans des délais très courts, de tels systèmes séparateurs de voies, en les adaptant aux situations de séparation du trafic : par exemple une ligne de séparation formée de séparateurs bas équipée de balises hautes, espacées selon un pas variable, soit une ligne de séparation formée de séparateurs hauts et comprenant des balises intégrées, l'ensemble formant une barrière de sécurité.The modular concept of the device and the means of rapid assembly of the elements together make it possible to set up, in a very short time, such lane separation systems, by adapting them to situations of traffic separation: for example a line divider formed of low dividers fitted with beacons high, spaced at a variable pitch, a separation line formed by high dividers and comprising integrated beacons, the assembly forming a safety barrier.

On se reporte d'abord aux figures 1 et 4 à 7. Le dispositif séparateur selon l'invention, se compose d'éléments 1 mis bout à bout et reliés les uns aux autres. Ces éléments 1 dits "bas" sont de faible hauteur, par exemple de l'ordre de dix centimètres et sont réalisés en caoutchouc par exemple d'une matière résultant d'un mélange de caoutchouc naturel et d'élastomère de synthèse de récupération. Ils sont d'une section droite d'une forme générale trapézoïdale et comportent ainsi une partie supérieure trapézoïdale isocèle s'étendant dans le sens longitudinal et d'une extrémité à l'autre et deux plages de moindre inclinaison 1b/1c reliées de part et d'autre de ladite partie 1a et qui constituent les bords latéraux des éléments 1, tel que représenté à la figure 1.Reference is first made to FIGS. 1 and 4 to 7. The separator device according to the invention consists of elements 1 placed end to end and connected to each other. These so-called "bottom" elements 1 are of low height, for example of the order of ten centimeters and are made of rubber, for example of a material resulting from a mixture of natural rubber and synthetic elastomer recovery. They are of a cross section of a general trapezoidal shape and thus comprise an isosceles trapezoidal upper part extending in the longitudinal direction and from one end to the other and two areas of lesser inclination 1b / 1c connected by hand and on the other side of said part 1a and which constitute the lateral edges of the elements 1, as shown in FIG. 1.

Lesdits éléments comportent en outre deux larges gorges transversales 1d qui sont réservées dans lesdites parties 1a et plages 1b/1c, prévues pour caler dans lesdits éléments bas, d'autres éléments dits "hauts" qui seront décrits plus loin. Lesdites gorges 1d sont perpendiculaires à l'axe longitudinal desdits éléments 1. Ceux-ci, obtenus par moulage, sont évidés et comportent à leur partie inférieure, de fortes cloisons ou nervures transversales 1g (figure 11) qui délimitent des évidements 1h/1j.Said elements also comprise two large transverse grooves 1d which are reserved in said parts 1a and ranges 1b / 1c, provided for wedging in said bottom elements, other elements called "high" which will be described later. Said grooves 1d are perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said elements 1. These, obtained by molding, are hollowed out and have at their lower part, strong partitions or transverse ribs 1g (FIG. 11) which delimit recesses 1h / 1d.

Lesdits éléments 1 comportent encore des anneaux d'extrémité le/1f décalés en hauteur, dont l'un 1e, est situé à la partie inférieure d'une extrémité de l'élément et l'autre 1f, est situé à la partie supérieure de l'autre extrémité, pour se placer en position d'assemblage des éléments 1 en superposition et à proximité de la face supérieure de l'anneau 1e de l'élément voisin 1₁ (figures 6 et 11). Lesdits anneaux 1e/1f comportent un évidement cylindrique central 1e₁/1f₁ dans lequel débouchent des encoches diamétrales de verrouillage. Les encoches 1e₂ de l'anneau 1e sont au nombre de deux et sont alignées sur un axe XX₁ formant un angle α par exemple de 45°, avec l'axe longitudinal YY₁ de l'élément. Les encoches 1f₂ sont, elles, alignées sur ledit axe longitudinal YY₁.Said elements 1 also include end rings le / 1f offset in height, one of which 1e is located at the bottom of one end of the element and the other 1f is located at the top of the other end, to place itself in the assembly position of the elements 1 in superposition and near the upper face of the ring 1e of the neighboring element 1₁ (Figures 6 and 11). Said rings 1e / 1f comprise a central cylindrical recess 1e₁ / 1f₁ into which open diametric locking notches. The notches 1e₂ of the ring 1e are two in number and are aligned on an axis XX₁ forming an angle α for example of 45 °, with the longitudinal axis YY₁ of the element. The notches 1f₂ are themselves aligned on said longitudinal axis YY₁.

Lesdites encoches 1e₂/1f₂ comportent deux bords latéraux équidistants de leur axe XX₁/YY₁ et leur extrémité est délimitée par un bord courbe parallèle au bord interne de l'évidement central 1e₁.Said notches 1e₂ / 1f₂ have two lateral edges equidistant from their axis XX₁ / YY₁ and their end is delimited by a curved edge parallel to the internal edge of the central recess 1e₁.

L'anneau 1e est décalé en hauteur par rapport à la base 1k de l'élément 1, l'anneau 1f est décalé sensiblement de la même valeur du bord supérieur 1a₁ de la partie 1a de l'élément 1₁ (figure 6).The ring 1e is offset in height relative to the base 1k of the element 1, the ring 1f is offset substantially by the same value of the upper edge 1a₁ of the part 1a of the element 1₁ (FIG. 6).

Lesdits anneaux 1e/1f sont parallèles entre eux et à la zone d'appui des éléments constitués par leur base 1k.Said rings 1e / 1f are parallel to each other and to the support zone of the elements formed by their base 1k.

La liaison des éléments 1/1₁ entre eux est obtenue au moyen d'organes d'assemblage 2 cylindriques, adaptés pour être engagés avec un léger jeu, par exemple de un demi millimètre à travers les évidements circulaires 1e₁/1f₁ des anneaux 1e/1f.The connection of the elements 1 / 1₁ between them is obtained by means of 2 cylindrical assembly members, adapted to be engaged with a slight play, for example of half a millimeter through the circular recesses 1e₁ / 1f₁ of the rings 1e / 1f.

Chacun des organes d'assemblage 2 comporte une semelle débordante coaxiale 2a située à sa partie inférieure et qui se place dans l'espace réservé entre l'anneau 1e et la base 1k de l'élément 1 et à proximité de la face inférieure dudit anneau 1e. Ledit organe 2 comporte en outre à sa partie supérieure deux oreilles diamétrales 2b, lesquelles sont d'un même contour que les encoches 1e₂/1f₂ des anneaux 1e/1f, mais sont de dimensions légèrement inférieures pour permettre leur passage à travers lesdites encoches.Each of the assembly members 2 comprises a coaxial projecting sole 2a situated at its lower part and which is placed in the space reserved between the ring 1e and the base 1k of the element 1 and near the lower face of said ring. 1st. Said member 2 further comprises at its upper part two diametrical ears 2b, which are of the same contour as the notches 1e₂ / 1f₂ of the rings 1e / 1f, but are of slightly smaller dimensions to allow their passage through said notches.

Lesdites oreilles 2b se placent dans l'espace réservé entre l'anneau 1f et le bord supérieur 1a₁ de l'élément 1₁.Said ears 2b are placed in the space reserved between the ring 1f and the upper edge 1a₁ of the element 1₁.

L'organe d'assemblage 2 comporte encore des tenons de blocage diamétraux 2c qui coopèrent avec les encoches 1e₂ de l'anneau 1e de l'élément. Comme les oreilles 2b, lesdits tenons 2c sont d'un même contour que lesdites encoches 1e₂ et sont de dimensions légèrement inférieures à celles-ci. Ledit organe comporte par exemple et de part et d'autre, deux tenons 2c superposés, dont l'un supérieur a sa face supérieure sensiblement au niveau de la face supérieure de l'anneau le, alors que l'autre, inférieur, a sa face inférieure sensiblement au niveau de la face inférieure dudit anneau.The assembly member 2 further comprises diametric locking pins 2c which cooperate with the notches 1e₂ of the ring 1e of the element. Like the ears 2b, said studs 2c are of the same contour as said notches 1e₂ and are of dimensions slightly smaller than these. Said member comprises, for example and on either side, two superimposed studs 2c, one upper of which has its upper face substantially at the level of the upper face of the ring le, while the other, lower, has its lower face substantially at the level of the lower face of said ring.

Les tenons de blocage ont pour fonction d'immobiliser en rotation l'organe 2 dans l'anneau 1 de l'élément et sont orientés selon un décalage angulaire par rapport auxdites oreilles 2b. Par exemple, les tenons 2c et les oreilles 2b sont situés sur deux axes à 90° l'un de l'autre.The locking pins have the function of immobilizing in rotation the member 2 in the ring 1 of the element and are oriented at an angular offset relative to said ears 2b. For example, the pins 2c and the ears 2b are located on two axes 90 ° from each other.

Ledit organe 2 comporte également à sa périphérie extérieure située entre lesdits tenons 2c et sur la hauteur de l'organe qui s'étend entre les faces externes des tenons : la face supérieure des tenons supérieurs et la face inférieure des tenons inférieurs, des nervures parallèles entre elles et juxtaposées, d'une section droite triangulaire 2d, lesquelles nervures sont en saillie et pénètrent dans la paroi interne de l'évidement 1e₁ de l'anneau le lors de la mise en place en force de l'organe 2 dans ledit anneau. Ces nervures ont pour fonction de solidariser l'organe 2 audit élément 1.Said member 2 also includes, at its outer periphery situated between said tenons 2c and over the height of the member which extends between the external faces of the tenons: the upper face of the upper tenons and the lower face of the lower tenons, parallel ribs between them and juxtaposed, of a triangular cross section 2d, which ribs protrude and penetrate into the internal wall of the recess 1e₁ of the ring le when the member 2 is put into force in said ring . These ribs have the function of securing the member 2 to said element 1.

Ledit organe 2 est creux et ouvert à ses deux extrémités, de telle sorte que son corps principal est tubulaire. Il comporte encore à l'intérieur dudit corps, deux tenons internes diamétralement opposés 2e et situés à la même hauteur, lesquels sont délimités par deux bords latéraux parallèles entre eux et un bord d'extrémité parallèle à la paroi cylindrique interne dudit corps.Said member 2 is hollow and open at its two ends, so that its main body is tubular. It still features inside said body, two diametrically opposite internal studs 2e and located at the same height, which are delimited by two lateral edges parallel to each other and an end edge parallel to the internal cylindrical wall of said body.

La semelle 2a, les tenons 2c, 2e et les oreilles 2b sont tous parallèles entre eux. Par exemple les tenons internes 2e ont la même orientation que les oreilles 2b. Lesdits organes d'assemblage 2 sont réalisés par moulage d'une matière plastique rigide, telle que par exemple du polychlorure de vinyle. La semelle 2a est évidée à sa partie inférieure, les oreilles 2b à leur partie supérieure.The sole 2a, the studs 2c, 2e and the ears 2b are all mutually parallel. For example, the internal studs 2e have the same orientation as the ears 2b. Said assembly members 2 are produced by molding a rigid plastic material, such as for example polyvinyl chloride. The sole 2a is hollowed out at its lower part, the ears 2b at their upper part.

La liaison des éléments 1 entre eux est réalisée avec rapidité par fraction de tour. On engage d'abord l'organe 2 dans l'anneau inférieur 1e pour encastrer ledit organe dans l'évidement central 1e₁, en passant d'abord les oreilles 2b dans les encoches 1e₂ et en plaçant ensuite dans celles-ci les tenons 2c après rotation de l'organe 2, d'une fraction de tour, par exemple quatre-vingt dix degrés ; on engage ensuite l'élément voisin 1₁ en faisant passer la partie supérieure de l'organe qui comporte lesdites oreilles 2b dans l'évidement central 1f₁ et les encoches 1f₂ ; on descend l'anneau supérieur 1f pour le mettre en position superposée au contact de l'anneau inférieur le, de telle sorte que les oreilles dépassent la face supérieure de l'anneau supérieur 1f et on aligne les éléments 1, 1₁ en faisant tourner d'une fraction de tour l'élément 1₁ pour l'aligner avec l'élément 1. Dans la position alignée, les oreilles 2b se placent au-dessus de l'anneau 1f et entre lesdites encoches 1f₂, réalisant ainsi le verrouillage desdits éléments 1, 1₁.The connection of the elements 1 to each other is carried out quickly by fraction of a turn. First engage the member 2 in the lower ring 1e to embed said member in the central recess 1e₁, first passing the ears 2b in the notches 1e₂ and then placing in them the pins 2c after rotation of the member 2, by a fraction of a turn, for example ninety degrees; then the neighboring element 1 engage is engaged by passing the upper part of the member which includes said ears 2b into the central recess 1f₁ and the notches 1f₂; the upper ring 1f is lowered to put it in a superimposed position in contact with the lower ring 1c, so that the ears extend beyond the upper face of the upper ring 1f and the elements 1, 1, are aligned by rotating d 'a fraction of a turn the element 1₁ to align it with the element 1. In the aligned position, the ears 2b are placed above the ring 1f and between said notches 1f ainsi, thus achieving the locking of said elements 1 , 1₁.

Compte tenu de la large plage de verrouillage existant entre les encoches 1f₂, les éléments peuvent être alignés suivant des courbes de grand rayon, tout en restant parfaitement assemblés.Given the wide locking range existing between the notches 1f₂, the elements can be aligned along curves of large radius, while remaining perfectly assembled.

Selon l'invention, les organes d'assemblage 2 sont creux pour recevoir des balises 3 de délimitation des voies routières. De telles balises sont, de façon connue, cylindriques et d'assez grande hauteur par exemple de l'ordre de un mètre, et comportent à leur partie supérieure un film réfléchissant 3a s'étendant à la périphérie d'un rétreint. Lesdites balises comportent à leur partie inférieure un corps cylindrique 3b de plus grand diamètre et coaxial, lequel comporte également un film réfléchissant 3c s'étendant à la périphérie d'un rétreint dudit corps 3b. Celui-ci est d'un diamètre sensiblement égal à celui des anneaux 1e/1f.According to the invention, the assembly members 2 are hollow to receive beacons 3 for delimiting the roadways. Such beacons are, in known manner, cylindrical and of relatively great height, for example of the order of one meter, and comprise at their upper part a reflective film 3a extending at the periphery of a constriction. Said beacons comprise at their lower part a cylindrical body 3b of larger diameter and coaxial, which also comprises a reflective film 3c extending at the periphery a constriction of said body 3b. This is of a diameter substantially equal to that of the rings 1e / 1f.

Au-dessous dudit corps 3b, les balises 3 comportent une partie cylindrique 3d d'un diamètre externe légèrement inférieur au diamètre interne des organes de blocage 2.Below said body 3b, the tags 3 comprise a cylindrical part 3d with an external diameter slightly smaller than the internal diameter of the locking members 2.

Ladite partie 3d comporte deux bossages de verrouillage 3d₁ diamétralement opposés, lesquels sont délimités par une surface périphérique d'un diamètre légèrement inférieur au diamètre interne des organes de blocage 2.Said part 3d comprises two diametrically opposite locking bosses 3d₁, which are delimited by a peripheral surface with a diameter slightly smaller than the internal diameter of the locking members 2.

Lesdits bossages 3d₁ jouxtent une gorge 3d₂ capable de recevoir les tenons internes 2e desdits organes 2.Said bosses 3d₁ adjoin a groove 3d₂ capable of receiving the internal studs 2e of said members 2.

Afin de permettre la mise en place des balises 3 dans lesdits organes 2, les bossages 3d₁ sont d'une largeur légèrement inférieure à la largeur des encoches 1f₂ des anneaux supérieurs 1f et à l'espace laissé entre les tenons 2e, la gorge 3d₂ est d'une largeur et d'une profondeur sensiblement supérieures à l'épaisseur et à la largeur des tenons internes 2e.In order to allow the placement of tags 3 in said members 2, the bosses 3d d'une are of a width slightly less than the width of the notches 1f₂ of the upper rings 1f and the space left between the tenons 2e, the groove 3d₂ is of a width and a depth substantially greater than the thickness and the width of the internal studs 2e.

La position des gorges 3d₂ est donnée par la mise en appui du corps 3c sur les oreilles 2b de l'organe 2 où lesdites gorges sont au niveau des tenons internes 2e. La mise en place de la balise est opérée de la façon suivante :
   - elle est présentée par le dessus des éléments 1, 1₁ et des organes de blocage 2 ; sa partie 3d est engagée dans lesdits organes 2, les bossages 3d₁ étant passés à travers les encoches 1f₂ des anneaux 1f ; la balise est ensuite mise en appui par son corps cylindrique 3b sur lesdites oreilles 2b des organes 2 et verrouillées dans ledit organe en la faisant tourner autour de son axe, d'une fraction de tour par exemple un quart de tour, pour que les tenons internes 2e s'engagent dans lesdites gorges 3d₂.The position of the 3d₂ grooves is given by the support of the body 3c on the ears 2b of the member 2 where said grooves are at the level of the internal studs 2e. The positioning of the beacon is carried out as follows:
- It is presented from above the elements 1, 1₁ and the locking members 2; its 3d part is engaged in said members 2, the bosses 3d₁ being passed through the notches 1f₂ of the rings 1f; the tag is then supported by its cylindrical body 3b on said ears 2b of members 2 and locked in said member by rotating it around its axis, by a fraction of a turn, for example a quarter turn, so that the studs 2nd interns engage in said 3d₂ grooves.

Selon l'invention, et de manière à mettre en place à volonté des séparateurs bas ou hauts, le dispositif est complété par d'autres éléments 4 de plus grande hauteur, destinés à être superposés sur lesdits éléments 1 bas précédemment décrits, afin de former une barrière de sécurité.According to the invention, and so as to set up low or high separators at will, the device is completed by other elements 4 of greater height, intended to be superimposed on said elements 1 low previously described, in order to form a security barrier.

Lesdits éléments 4 (figures 8 à 11) sont obtenus par exemple par roto-moulage d'une matière plastique telle que, par exemple, du polychlorure de vinyle et sont de plus grande hauteur que lesdits éléments 1. Ces éléments dits "hauts" sont d'une section droite trapézoïdale isocèle (figure 10) et de même longueur que lesdits éléments bas 1. Ils comportent à leur base un évidement longitudinal 4a, dont la section droite correspond à celle desdits éléments bas 1. Pour des raisons d'uniformité, lesdits éléments hauts 4 comportent à l'extérieur deux larges gorges 4b qui correspondent aux larges gorges 1d desdits éléments bas 1 et au droit desquelles sont réservées de larges nervures 4c de même contour que les gorges 1d des éléments bas 1, mais de dimensions sensiblement inférieures. Lesdites nervures 4c sont réservées à la base des éléments 4 et forment des reliefs transversaux dans ledit évidement longitudinal 4a pour coopérer avec ledites gorges 1d desdits éléments 1, et réaliser le positionnement et l'encastrement desdits éléments hauts et bas 4/1.Said elements 4 (FIGS. 8 to 11) are obtained for example by rotational molding of a plastic material such as, for example, polyvinyl chloride and are of greater height than said elements 1. These so-called “high” elements are of an isosceles trapezoidal cross section (FIG. 10) and of the same length as said bottom elements 1. They have at their base a longitudinal recess 4a, the cross section of which corresponds to that of said elements bottom 1. For reasons of uniformity, said top elements 4 have on the outside two large grooves 4b which correspond to the wide grooves 1d of said bottom elements 1 and to the right of which are reserved large ribs 4c of the same outline as the grooves 1d bottom elements 1, but of substantially smaller dimensions. Said ribs 4c are reserved at the base of the elements 4 and form transverse reliefs in said longitudinal recess 4a to cooperate with said grooves 1d of said elements 1, and achieve the positioning and embedding of said top and bottom elements 4/1.

Par exemple et tel que représenté à la figure 10, lesdites nervures 4c sont réservées sur les parties de l'évidement qui se placent en regard des larges gorges 1d des plages inclinées 1b/1c de l'élément 1. Lesdits éléments hauts 4 comportent en outre des anneaux d'assemblage destinés à coopérer avec les balises 3 afin que l'ensemble élément bas 1/balise 3/élément haut 4, constitue une barrière de sécurité et de séparation des voies autoroutières, tel qu'illustré à la figure 3.For example and as shown in FIG. 10, said ribs 4c are reserved on the parts of the recess which are placed facing the wide grooves 1d of the inclined areas 1b / 1c of the element 1. The said high elements 4 include in addition to assembly rings intended to cooperate with the beacons 3 so that the bottom element 1 / beacon 3 / high element 4 assembly constitutes a safety and separation barrier for the motorway lanes, as illustrated in FIG. 3.

Lesdits éléments 4 comportent donc un anneau inférieur 4d à une extrémité et un anneau supérieur 4e à l'autre, lesquels anneaux sont d'un diamètre externe sensiblement égal au diamètre externe du corps 3b des balises et des anneaux 1e/1f des éléments bas 1. Leur diamètre interne est légèrement supérieur au diamètre externe des balises 3 pour permettre de placer lesdites balises dans lesdits anneaux 4d/4e, lesquels sont décalés en hauteur et parallèles entre eux.Said elements 4 therefore comprise a lower ring 4d at one end and an upper ring 4th at the other, which rings have an external diameter substantially equal to the external diameter of the body 3b of the tags and rings 1e / 1f of the bottom elements 1 Their internal diameter is slightly greater than the external diameter of the tags 3 to allow the said tags to be placed in the said 4d / 4e rings, which are offset in height and parallel to one another.

Tel que représenté à la figure 11, l'anneau inférieur 4d est à un niveau tel que lorsque l'élément 4 est placé sur un élément 1, l'anneau 4 se place à proximité de la face supérieure du corps 3b de la balise.As shown in Figure 11, the lower ring 4d is at a level such that when the element 4 is placed on an element 1, the ring 4 is placed near the upper face of the body 3b of the tag.

L'anneau supérieur 4e est, lui, à un niveau tel que dans la position de l'élément 4 donnée ci-dessus, sa face inférieure est à proximité de la face supérieure de l'élément inférieur 4d. Dans cette position, les éléments superposés 1/4 forment un mur de séparation d'une hauteur de l'ordre de quatre-vingt centimètres. Leur partie supérieure 4f se situe sensiblement au niveau du bord inférieur du film réfléchissant 3a des balises 3.The upper ring 4e is itself at a level such that in the position of the element 4 given above, its lower face is close to the upper face of the lower element 4d. In this position, the 1/4 superimposed elements form a separation wall with a height of the order of eighty centimeters. Their part upper 4f is situated substantially at the level of the lower edge of the reflective film 3a of the tags 3.

De façon connue, lesdits éléments 4 peuvent être alourdis en les remplissant d'eau. Un orifice obturé par un bouchon amovible est prévu pour réaliser le remplissage.In known manner, said elements 4 can be made heavier by filling them with water. An orifice closed by a removable plug is provided for filling.

Bien entendu, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, les parties qui viennent d'être décrites à titre d'exemple, pourront être remplacées par l'homme du métier par des parties équivalentes remplissant la même fonction. Par exemple, et dans un autre mode de réalisation, les gorges transversales 1d qui jouent un rôle d'avertisseur sonore, pourront être remplacées par des bossages en relief, pour coopérer au blocage des éléments hauts.Of course, without departing from the scope of the invention, the parts which have just been described by way of example, may be replaced by a person skilled in the art by equivalent parts fulfilling the same function. For example, and in another embodiment, the transverse grooves 1d which play the role of horn, may be replaced by raised bosses, to cooperate in blocking the tall elements.
