Abstract

The invention relates to a path or road barrier for vehicles, having a foundation which can be inserted into a depression of the driving surface and in which a recess is located. A bollard barrier part ( 30 ) is arranged in the recess of the foundation ( 10 ), and the path or road barrier is to prevent vehicles with a preferred travel direction in particular from passing through, said travel direction being oriented against the bollard barrier part ( 30 ) as the impact direction ( 15 ). The bollard barrier part ( 30 ) is made of two or more panels ( 31, 32, 33, 34 ) which can be handled separately from one another, said panels ( 31, 32, 33, 34 ) being arranged parallel to one another. The impact direction ( 15 ) is oriented against an impact face ( 35 ) of the bollard barrier part ( 30 ), said impact face being arranged perpendicularly to the panels ( 31, 32, 33, 34 ).

Claims (76)

1 . A path or road barrier for vehicles, comprising:

a foundation, which can be inserted into a depression of the driving surface,

in which foundation a recess is located,

a bollard barrier part that is arranged in the recess of the foundation,

for vehicles with a preferred travel direction, which is oriented as the impact direction against the bollard barrier part,

wherein the bollard barrier part is built of two or more panels, which can be handled separately from one another,

wherein the panels are arranged parallel to one another and wherein the impact direction is oriented against an impact face of the bollard barrier part, said impact face being arranged perpendicularly to the panels,

a quiver apparatus which is arranged in the recess in the foundation and into which is inserted the bollard barrier part with its panels,

and wherein the quiver apparatus has at least two recesses, which are arranged in the impact direction one behind the other.

2 . The path or road barrier for vehicles according to claim 1 ,

further characterized

in that the impact face of the bollard barrier part is formed by narrow sides of the panels of the bollard barrier part that are arranged adjacent to one another and parallel with respect to one another.

3 . The path or road barrier for vehicles according to claim 1 ,

further characterized

in that the impact face of the bollard barrier part projects from the foundation perpendicularly upwards and is oriented upwards increasingly in the impact direction.

4 . The path or road barrier for vehicles according to claim 1 ,

further characterized

in that each panel of the bollard barrier part has material recesses in its face, preferably bored holes or other shapes,

in that the impact face of the bollard barrier part forms, at the same time, the edges of the panels that face towards the vehicle,

in that the back face of the bollard barrier part forms the edges of the panels facing away from the vehicle, and

in that the impact face and the back face are joined to one another through at least one stiffening strut.

5 . The path or road barrier for vehicles according to claim 1 ,

further characterized

in that one reinforcing element or a plurality of reinforcing elements of the quiver apparatus is or are inserted into the foundation adjacent to the quiver apparatus, as rails.

6 . The path or road barrier for vehicles according to claim 1

further characterized

in that, as material for the bollard barrier part and/or the quiver apparatus, a steel, in particular a high-strength steel, preferably a crane structural steel, a bainitic steel, or a martensite phase steel, or, alternatively, a composition with fiber composite materials is used.

7 . The path or road barrier for vehicles according to claim 1 ,

further characterized

in that, for resiliency or shock-absorption of the panels, resilient and/or shock-absorbing elements are arranged inside of the quiver apparatus.

8 . A path or road barrier for vehicles having a foundation, which can be inserted into a depression of a driving surface, and in which the foundation has a recess;

a bollard barrier part that is arranged in the recess of the foundation;

wherein for vehicles with a predetermined travel direction, the vehicle is oriented in an impact direction against the bollard barrier part;

wherein the bollard barrier part is built of two or more panels;

wherein each bollard barrier part has an impact side that is narrower in width than a joined side thereof;

wherein the panels are arranged parallel to one another; and

wherein the impact direction is oriented against an impact face that is formed by the impact side of the bollard barrier part, and said impact face being arranged perpendicularly to the joined sides of the panels.

9 . The path or road barrier for vehicles according to claim 8 ,

further characterized

in that a quiver apparatus is provided, which is arranged in the recess in the foundation and into which is inserted the bollard barrier part with its panels.

10 . The path or road barrier for vehicles according to claim 9 ,

further characterized

in that the quiver apparatus has at least two recesses, which are arranged in the impact direction, one behind the other, and wherein each panel includes separate panel legs accommodated in respective at least two recesses.

11 . The path or road barrier for vehicles according to claim 10 ,

further characterized

in that the impact face of the bollard barrier part is formed by the panels of the bollard barrier part that are arranged adjacent to one another and parallel with respect to one another.

12 . The path or road barrier for vehicles according to claim 8 ,

further characterized

in that the narrow sides of the panels of the bollard barrier part that are arranged adjacent to one another and parallel with respect to one another.

13 . The path or road barrier for vehicles according to claim 8 , in that the narrow side of each panel forms an arcuate impact face.

14 . The path or road barrier for vehicles according to claim 8 ,

further characterized

in that the impact face of the bollard barrier part projects from the foundation perpendicularly upwards and is oriented upwards increasingly in the impact direction.

15 . The path or road barrier for vehicles according to claim 8 , further characterized

in combination with a vehicle that is oriented in the impact direction against the bollard barrier part.

16 . The path or road barrier for vehicles according to claim 8

further characterized

wherein each of the two or more panels are of the same size and shape.

17 . The path or road barrier for vehicles according to claim 8 ,

further characterized

wherein the impact face is formed by the narrow impact sides of the respective panels.

18 . The path or road barrier for vehicles according to claim 17 ,

further characterized

wherein the entire impact face is formed by only the narrow impact sides of the respective panels.

19 . The path or road barrier for vehicles according to claim 8 ,

further characterized

wherein each panel has separate panel legs connected by a stiffening strut.

20 . A path or road barrier for vehicles having a foundation, which can be inserted into a depression of a driving surface, and in which the foundation has a recess;

a bollard barrier part that is arranged in the recess of the foundation;

wherein for vehicles with a predetermined travel direction, the vehicle is oriented in an impact direction against the bollard barrier part;

wherein the bollard barrier part is built of two or more panels;

wherein the panels are arranged parallel to one another;

wherein the impact direction is oriented against an impact face of the bollard barrier part, and said impact face being arranged perpendicularly to the panels;

wherein the impact face of the bollard barrier part forms, at the same time, the edges of the panels that face towards the vehicle,

wherein a back face of the bollard barrier part forms the edges of the panels facing away from the vehicle, and

and wherein the impact face and the back face are joined to one another through at least one stiffening strut.
