Abstract

Plate is made of a orange plate with seven windows cut on the plate for each of the numbers. The windows are placed so as to form a digital '8'. Each window is covered by an orange flip-over wipe so that if the wipe is unfolded, the window is completely blocked and the black plate behind the orange plate can be seen through the windows when the wipes are folded. There are three groups of windows on the first row to form the numbers of the code meaning danger and four groups on the second row to form the code associated with the material.

Description

Plaque d'identification modulaire, de danger et de matière, pour citerne de transport de matières dangereuses. Modular, hazard and material identification plate, for transporting dangerous goods.

L'invention a pour objet, une plaque d'identification modulaire, permettant un changement facile et rapide du numéro de code de danger et du numéro de code de la matière dangereuse transportée dans des citernes. The subject of the invention is a modular identification plate, allowing an easy and rapid change of the danger code number and the code number of the dangerous substance transported in tanks.

La législation sur le transport de matière dangereuse en citerne prévoit qu'il soit possible d'identifier le danger et le produit transporté, grâce à deux numéros codifiés, que cette identification soit mentionnée à l'extérieur du véhicules sur des plaques de couleur orange et que les chiffres, de couleur noire, soient en relief ou découpés, afin de maintenir l'identification en cas d'incendie. The legislation on the transport of dangerous substances in tanks provides that it is possible to identify the danger and the product transported, using two coded numbers, for this identification to be mentioned outside the vehicle on orange-colored plates and the figures, black in color, be embossed or cut out, in order to maintain identification in the event of a fire.

Ainsi, pour les citernes qui sont affectées aux transports de quelques produits, les transporteurs utilisent généralement des plaques ayant des numéros imprimés en relief. Thus, for tanks which are used for the transport of a few products, the carriers generally use plates with numbers printed in relief.

Pour les citernes qui sont susceptibles de transporter de nombreux produits et, pour pouvoir composer tous les numéros nécessaires, les transporteurs utilisent des plaquettes, comportant un seul chiffre et les disposent côte à côte sur un support prévu à cet effet, ce qui permet de composer plus facilement tous les numéros réglementaires. Néanmoins, pour pouvoir composer tous ces numéros, il est nécessaire de disposé d'un jeu de plusieurs dizaines de plaquettes par compartiment de citernes, et comme il existe des citernes à plusieurs compartiments, il est courant que le jeu de plaquettes dépasse deux cent pièces, ce qui est lourds, coûteux et encombrant. For tanks which are capable of carrying a large number of products and, in order to be able to dial all the necessary numbers, the carriers use plates, comprising a single digit, and place them side by side on a support provided for this purpose, which makes it possible to dial more easily all regulatory numbers. However, to be able to dial all these numbers, it is necessary to have a set of several tens of plates per tank compartment, and as there are tanks with several compartments, it is common that the set of plates exceeds two hundred pieces which is heavy, expensive and bulky.

Le but de l'invention est de pouvoir composer tous les numéros souhaitables à l'aide d'une seule plaque de conception particulière, sans avoir recourir à des jeux de plaquettes évitant ainsi tous les inconvénients décrits précédemment. The object of the invention is to be able to dial all the desirable numbers using a single plate of particular design, without having to resort to sets of plates thus avoiding all the drawbacks described above.

Pour atteindre sont bût, l'invention prévoit une plaque, dont le recto est de couleur orange, pourvue, pour chaque chiffre du nombre à composer - de sept fenêtres, découpées dans cette plaque orange, et prévoit encore; - que chaque fenêtre a une forme digitale ; - que la disposition de ces sept fenêtres représente un 8 digitale ; - que chaque fenêtre représente une arête de ce 8 digital; - que chaque fenêtre soit pourvue d'un volet pivotant ; - que le recto de ces volets soit de couleur orange, semblable à celle du recto de la plaque orange à fenêtres ; - que le recto de chaque volet soit pourvu d'un relief ayant une forme et une épaisseur semblable à sa fenêtre respective de telle sorte que chaque volet puisse s'y insérer pour l'obturer et la masquer; - que les articulations de pivotement des volets du pourtour des chiffres soit disposées au bord du plus grand coté de la fenêtre ; - que l'articulations de pivotement du volet du centre de chaque chiffre digital soit disposée au bord du coté inférieur de cette fenêtre ; - que la moitié supérieure de cette plaque orange soit pourvue de trois lots de sept fenêtres afin de pouvoir composer trois chiffres du numéro du code de danger; - que la moitié inférieure de cette plaque orange soit pourvue de quatre lots de sept fenêtres à fin de pouvoir composer les quatre chiffres du numéro du code de la matière; - que cette plaque orange à fenêtres soit apte à s'insérer dans des glissières en forme de U, disposées sur trois bords d'une autre plaque de couleur noire, pour la supporter et immobiliser ses volets . To achieve this, the invention provides a plate, the front of which is orange, provided, for each digit of the number to be dialed - from seven windows, cut out from this orange plate, and still provides; - that each window has a digital form; - that the arrangement of these seven windows represents a digital 8; - that each window represents an edge of this digital 8; - that each window is provided with a pivoting shutter; - that the front of these shutters be orange, similar to that of the front of the orange plate with windows; - That the front of each shutter is provided with a relief having a shape and a thickness similar to its respective window so that each shutter can be inserted therein to close and hide it; - that the pivot joints of the shutters around the figures are arranged at the edge of the larger side of the window; - that the pivot joints of the center flap of each digital digit be placed at the edge of the lower side of this window; - that the upper half of this orange plate be provided with three lots of seven windows in order to be able to dial three digits of the number of the danger code; - that the lower half of this orange plate be provided with four lots of seven windows so that the four digits of the material code number can be dialed; - that this orange plate with windows is able to fit into U-shaped slides, arranged on three edges of another black plate, to support it and immobilize its shutters.

Ainsi avant que la plaque orange, objet de l'invention ne soit insérée dans les glissières de la plaque noire, il est possible d'ouvrir ou de fermer des volets, pour composer les chiffres nécessaires à l'identification, puis de l'insérer dans les glissières de la plaque noir, faisant ainsi, apparaître en noir, les numéros désirés. Thus before the orange plate, object of the invention is inserted into the slides of the black plate, it is possible to open or close shutters, to compose the numbers necessary for identification, then to insert it in the slides of the black plate, thus making the desired numbers appear in black.

Un des avantages de cette invention est caractérisé en ce que quand ces volets pivotants sont repliés contre le verseau de la plaque orange, ils ouvrent leur fenêtre respective, laissant ainsi apparaître, en noir, un ensemble de formes digitales noires, formées par le noir de la plaque à glissières et les fenêtres de la plaque orange , ouvertes grâce à leurs volets rabattus contre son verseau, et cet ensemble de formes digitales noires, visibles au travers des fenêtres ouvertes, constitue les chiffres des numéros du code de danger et du code de la matière contenue dans la citerne ainsi étiquetée. One of the advantages of this invention is characterized in that when these pivoting flaps are folded against the aquarius of the orange plate, they open their respective windows, thus revealing, in black, a set of black digital shapes, formed by the black of the slide plate and the windows of the orange plate, open thanks to their shutters folded against its aquarius, and this set of black digital shapes, visible through the open windows, constitute the digits of the numbers of the danger code and the code of the material contained in the tank so labeled.

Un autre avantage de cette invention est caractérisé en ce que quand ces volets sont dépliés et fermés, leurs reliefs mâles s'insèrent dans leur fenêtre digitale respective pour la fermer et la masquer. Another advantage of this invention is characterized in that when these flaps are unfolded and closed, their male reliefs are inserted in their respective digital window to close and hide it.

Pour immobiliser les volets pendant le transport, un développement de l'invention qui en tient compte est caractérisé en ce que jeu de coulissement de la plaque orange entre les glissières de la plaque noire est tel qu'il immobilise les volets lorsque la plaque orange y est insérée. To immobilize the flaps during transport, a development of the invention which takes this into account is characterized in that the sliding clearance of the orange plate between the slides of the black plate is such that it immobilizes the flaps when the orange plate is inserted.

Pour faciliter l'ouverture de volets du pourtour de ce 8 digital et empêcher qu'il ne se superposent entre eux, un développement de l'invention qui en tient compte est caractérisé en ce que l'articulation de ces volets est disposée au bord du plus grand coté de la fenêtre digitale de telle sorte que ces volets s'ouvrent vers l'extérieur du chiffres à constituer. To facilitate the opening of flaps around this digital 8 and prevent them from overlapping with each other, a development of the invention which takes account of this is characterized in that the articulation of these flaps is arranged at the edge of the larger side of the digital window so that these flaps open towards the outside of the figures to be created.

Pour éviter toute dégradation de toute la face orange des volets, relative au frottement conte la plaque noire, lorsque ceux-ci sont ouverts et que la plaque orange est insérée dans les glissière de la plaque noire, un développement de l'invention qui en tient compte est caractérisé en ce que de la face orange de chaque volet, émerge un petit bossage empêchant ainsi que toute la face orange des volets ne puisse frotter et se dégrader contre la plaque noire. To avoid any deterioration of the entire orange face of the flaps, relating to the friction against the black plate, when these are open and the orange plate is inserted in the slideways of the black plate, a development of the invention which takes account thereof. account is characterized in that from the orange face of each flap, a small boss emerges thus preventing the entire orange face of the flaps from being able to rub and degrade against the black plate.

Ainsi, quand la citerne contient de la matière dangereuse, l'insertion de la plaque orange, avec certaines de ses fenêtres ouvertes grâce à leur volets rabattu contre le recto de la plaque orange, permet de voir, au travers des fenêtres ouvertes, plusieurs parties de la plaque noire représentant un ensemble de digits noirs formant ainsi les digits des chiffres des numéros du code de danger et du code de la matière dangereuse contenue dans la citerne ainsi étiquetée. Thus, when the tank contains dangerous material, the insertion of the orange plate, with some of its windows open thanks to their shutters folded against the front of the orange plate, allows to see, through the open windows, several parts of the black plate representing a set of black digits thus forming the digits of the digits of the numbers of the danger code and of the dangerous material code contained in the tank thus labeled.

Ainsi, lorsqu'une citerne doit être étiquetée, le conducteur ouvre ou ferme les fenêtres qui correspondent au numéro du code de danger et au numéro du code de la matière puis insère cette plaque orange à fenêtres dans les glissières de la plaque noire. Lorsqu'un produit différent sera chargé dans la citerne, le conducteur retirera la plaque orange, changera la disposition des volets et la réinsérera dans les glissières de la plaque noire. Thus, when a tank must be labeled, the driver opens or closes the windows which correspond to the number of the danger code and the number of the material code and then inserts this orange plate with windows in the slides of the black plate. When a different product is loaded in the tank, the driver will remove the orange plate, change the arrangement of the flaps and reinsert it in the slides of the black plate.

Cette invention s'applique principalement aux citernes de transports de matières dangereuses.This invention mainly applies to tanks for the transport of dangerous goods.
