Description

DISPOSITIF ANTIVOL POUR CÂBLES ENTERRES NOTAMMENT DE SECTIONS DIFFERENTES  ANTI-THEFT DEVICE FOR CABLES INCORPORATED IN PARTICULAR FROM DIFFERENT SECTIONS
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de lutte contre le vol d'un ou plusieurs câbles enterrés, notamment de sections différentes. Le dispositif est assujetti à un ancrage pouvant être notamment constitué de vis, pieu, tige métallique complétés ou non de fils d'ancrage déployables. L'invention a pour objectif d'empêcher le vol de câbles enterrés en agissant, lors d'une tentative de vol, d'une part comme un double frein, en rendant les câbles assujettis solidaires entre eux et en les faisant participer à l'action antivol et, d'autre part, en favorisant la coupe du ou des câbles. The present invention relates to a device for controlling the theft of one or more buried cables, in particular of different sections. The device is subject to an anchorage that can be constituted in particular by screws, piles, metal rods, with or without deployable anchoring wires. The invention aims to prevent the theft of buried cables by acting, on an attempted flight, on the one hand as a double brake, making the secured cables interdependent between them and by involving them in the anti-theft action and, secondly, by promoting the cutting of the cable or cables.
On connaît des dispositifs qui, pour rendre plus difficile une tentative de vol, renforcent la résistance à la traction effectuée par le malfaiteur sur le câble enterré.  Devices are known which, to make it more difficult to attempt theft, reinforce the tensile strength performed by the perpetrator on the buried cable.
Ces dispositifs proposent, par exemple, d'assujettir le câble à un manchon de section plus importante ainsi que décrit dans les demandes de brevet WO2009/019618, WO2013/124761 et FR2944160, soit de le boulonner à un parcours en chicane dans une goulotte enterrée ainsi que décrit dans la demande FR 2982713.  These devices propose, for example, to secure the cable to a sleeve of larger section as described in patent applications WO2009 / 019618, WO2013 / 124761 and FR2944160, or to bolt to a baffled path in a buried trunking as described in application FR 2982713.
Ces différents dispositifs ont en commun d'accroître la résistance à la traction du câble faisant l'objet d'une tentative de vol en le fixant à un dispositif extérieur, par exemple un manchon ou une chicane d'un caniveau. Ils ont comme principaux inconvénients de ne fonctionner que par inertie et d'être longs à poser. Pour améliorer la prévention du vol de câbles enterrés, les inventeurs ont décomposé en différentes étapes le mode opératoire d'un vol de câbles enterrés:  These various devices have in common to increase the tensile strength of the cable undergoing an attempted theft by attaching it to an external device, for example a sleeve or baffle of a gutter. Their main drawbacks are to operate only by inertia and to be long to pose. To improve the prevention of the theft of buried cables, the inventors have decomposed in different stages the operating mode of a buried cable flight:
1. Le malfaiteur creuse un trou au droit du câble, 1. The perpetrator digs a hole in the cable,
2. Il coupe le câble et en attache une section à une allonge qu'il fixe à un véhicule de traction,  2. It cuts the cable and attaches a section to an extension which it fixes to a traction vehicle,
3. Le malfaiteur utilise alors son véhicule pour tirer sur l'allonge et arracher une section de câble la plus longue possible et s'enfuir avec le câble ainsi extrait,  3. The perpetrator then uses his vehicle to pull the drawbar and pull out a section of cable as long as possible and escape with the cable thus extracted,
4. La tension exercée sur le câble est telle que celui-ci est rompu le plus souvent à plusieurs centaines de mètres ou quelques kilomètres de l'endroit où il a été coupé. Le malfaiteur peut ainsi emporter attaché à son véhicule des longueurs importantes de câble pouvant aller de quelques centaines de mètres à plusieurs kilomètres.  4. The tension exerted on the cable is such that it is broken most often several hundred meters or a few kilometers from the place where it was cut. The perpetrator can thus carry attached to his vehicle long cable lengths ranging from a few hundred meters to several kilometers.
La présente invention propose de remplacer les systèmes antivols classiques de typé statique par un dispositif dynamique, en ce sens qu'il ne se contente pas de résister simplement à la traction qu'il subit, mais qu'il utilise la force d'arrachage fournie par le malfaiteur au cours de la tentative de vol pour offrir une protection supérieure. Cette force d'arrachage est en effet utilisée pour d'une part renforcer la résistance à l'arrachage du câble et d'autre part pour permettre une rupture prématurée de ce dernier. The present invention proposes to replace conventional static type anti-theft systems with a dynamic device, in that it does not merely resist the traction it undergoes, but uses the pulling force provided. by the perpetrator during the attempted theft to provide superior protection. This pulling force is used to reinforce the resistance to pulling cable and on the other hand to allow a premature rupture of the latter.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet ainsi d'empêcher l'opération de vol de câble ou, à tout le moins, de limiter au maximum la longueur du câble volé. Son action va rendre rapidement et définitivement l'acte infructueux soit en empêchant le voleur d'arracher le câble parce que sa résistance à la traction est trop forte soit en permettant au câble de se rompre à une distance la plus courte possible du véhicule du malfaiteur ce qui minimise le bénéfice du larcin.  The device according to the invention thus makes it possible to prevent the cable flight operation or, at the very least, to limit the length of the stolen cable as much as possible. Its action will quickly and definitely make the unsuccessful act either by preventing the thief from pulling the cable because its tensile strength is too high or by allowing the cable to break at the shortest possible distance from the perpetrator's vehicle. which minimizes the profit of the larceny.
La présente invention a ainsi pour objet un dispositif antivol pour câbles enterrés caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une pièce en forme d'accordéon formant au moins deux plis comportant des parties planes, chaque pli formant un logement individuel apte à recevoir un câble, chacune des parties planes étant percée d'un trou traversé par un ancrage.  The present invention thus relates to an antitheft device for buried cables, characterized in that it comprises an accordion-shaped piece forming at least two folds comprising plane portions, each fold forming an individual housing adapted to receive a cable, each flat portions being pierced with a hole traversed by an anchor.
Suivant l'invention les plis de la pièce en forme d'accordéon pourront être de tailles différentes, Préférentiellement au moins un pli sera pourvu de bords tranchants.  According to the invention the folds of the accordion-shaped piece may be of different sizes, Preferably at least one fold will be provided with sharp edges.
Par ailleurs, l'ancrage pourra être notamment constitué d'un pieu ou d'une vis torsadée ou d'un élément lisse destiné à être enfoncé dans le sol. De façon à améliorer la résistance à l'arrachage, l'ancrage pourra être pourvu d'au moins un fil d'ancrage qui, préférentiellement, sera déployé dans le sol,  In addition, the anchoring may in particular consist of a pile or a twisted screw or a smooth element intended to be driven into the ground. In order to improve the tear resistance, the anchoring may be provided with at least one anchoring wire which, preferably, will be deployed in the ground,
Enfin, l'ancrage qui pourra être préférentiellement métallique, pourra traverser la pièce en forme d'accordéon en son milieu, De façon à faciliter sa déformation au cours d'une tentative d'arrachage des câbles, la pièce en forme d'accordéon pourra comporter des plis souples.  Finally, the anchor which may be preferably metallic, can cross the accordion-shaped piece in the middle, so as to facilitate its deformation during an attempt to tear the cables, the accordion-shaped piece can have soft folds.
La présente invention a également pour objet une plaque antivol destinée à constituer une pièce en forme d'accordéon d'un dispositif antivol te! que décrit précédemment, On décrira ci-après, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de la présente invention, en référence au dessin annexé sur lequel :  The present invention also relates to a burglar plate for constituting an accordion-shaped piece of an antitheft device te! DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As will be described by way of nonlimiting example, an embodiment of the present invention will be described below, with reference to the appended drawing, in which:
- La figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective d'un ensemble de câbles qui sont pourvus d'un dispositif antivol suivant l'invention,  FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a set of cables which are provided with an antitheft device according to the invention,
- La figure 2 est une vue en perspective d'une pièce en accordéon mise en oeuvre dans le dispositif antivol suivant l'invention,  FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an accordion piece used in the antitheft device according to the invention,
- La figure 3 est une vue schématique en coupe verticale d'un ensemble de câbles qui sont pourvus d'un dispositif antivol suivant l'invention,  FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic view in vertical section of a set of cables which are provided with an antitheft device according to the invention,
- La figure 4 est une vue schématique en coupe verticale d'un ensemble de câbles et d'un dispositif antivol suivant l'invention qui sont enterrés, montrant la création d'un volume de terre et de métal résistant à une force d'arrachage.  - Figure 4 is a schematic vertical sectional view of a set of cables and an antitheft device according to the invention which are buried, showing the creation of a volume of earth and metal resistant to a pulling force .
On a représenté sur les figures 1 à 4 un exemple de réalisation d'un dispositif antivol suivant l'invention qui comprend essentiellement une pièce en forme d'accordéon 1 et un ancrage 5 de celle-ci dans le sol.  FIGS. 1 to 4 show an exemplary embodiment of an antitheft device according to the invention which essentially comprises an accordion-shaped piece 1 and an anchorage 5 thereof in the ground.
Dans le présent exemple, la pièce en forme d'accordéon 1 est constituée d'une plaque métallique qui est pliée, de façon à former une série de plis 2 comportant des parties planes ou sensiblement planes 2a. Chacune de ces dernières est percée d'un trou 4 de façon telle que les trous des différentes parties planes 2a se trouvent alignés suivant un axe yy' une fois le pliage de la plaque effectué, ainsi que représenté sur les figures 1 à 4. Préférentiellement chacun des trous 4 sera percé au milieu des parties planes 2a. In the present example, the accordion-shaped piece 1 consists of a metal plate which is folded, so as to form a series of folds 2 comprising flat or substantially planar portions 2a. Each of the latter is pierced with a hole 4 so that the holes of the different flat portions 2a are aligned along an axis yy 'once the folding of the plate is performed, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4. Preferably each of the holes 4 will be pierced in the middle of the plane portions 2a.
Dans la forme de réalisation représentée sur les figures 1 à 4, la pièce en forme d'accordéon 1 est réalisée à partir d'une plaque métallique dans laquelle les trous 4 sont percés à intervalles réguliers, et la forme en accordéon est ensuite obtenue par emboutissages successifs sur des moules de la profondeur choisie pour avoir la taille des plis 2 souhaitée de façon à accueillir des câbles 3 de sections éventuellement différentes.  In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 4, the accordion-shaped piece 1 is made from a metal plate in which the holes 4 are pierced at regular intervals, and the accordion shape is then obtained by successive stampings on molds of the chosen depth to have the desired size of the folds 2 so as to accommodate cables 3 of possibly different sections.
La pièce en forme d'accordéon 1 peut, par exemple, être réalisée à partir d'une bande d'acier de l'ordre de 80 cm de long et posséder des plis dont les parties planes 2a auront une longueur de l'ordre de 10 à 20 cm et une largeur de l'ordre de 8 cm, et les trous 4 seront réalisés sensiblement au milieu des parties planes 2a et auront un diamètre de l'ordre de 28 mm.  The accordion-shaped piece 1 may, for example, be made from a steel strip of the order of 80 cm long and have folds whose plane portions 2a will have a length of the order of 10 to 20 cm and a width of the order of 8 cm, and the holes 4 will be made substantially in the middle of the flat portions 2a and have a diameter of about 28 mm.
Les trous 4, qui peuvent avoir une forme quelconque et notamment carrée, rectangulaire, ou circulaire, sont destinés à recevoir un ancrage qui, dans le présent mode de mise en œuvre, est constitué d'un pieu 5 qui traverse chacun des trous 4 de la pièce en forme d'accordéon 1 et est planté préférentiellement verticalement dans le sol.  The holes 4, which may have any shape and in particular square, rectangular, or circular, are intended to receive an anchor which, in the present embodiment, consists of a pile 5 which passes through each of the holes 4 of the accordion-shaped piece 1 and is preferably planted vertically in the ground.
Dans des variantes de mise en œuvre de l'invention, l'ancrage 5 peut bien entendu être constitué de tout élément en mesure de traverser les trous 4 et de venir se planter dans le sol de façon à ancrer l'ensemble, et peut ainsi notamment être constitué, outre le pieu mentionné précédemment, de vis torsadée, d'élément lisse etc ..,  In alternative embodiments of the invention, the anchor 5 may of course be made up of any element able to pass through the holes 4 and come to be planted in the ground so as to anchor the assembly, and may thus be in particular, be constituted, in addition to the aforementioned pile, twisted screw, smooth element etc ..,
Chacun des plis 2 constitue un logement individuel destiné à recevoir un ou plusieurs câbles 3 que l'on souhaite protéger. Avantageusement les plis 2 pourront être de tailles différentes de façon à être en mesure de recevoir un nombre différent de câbles et/ou des câbles de sections différentes. Dans un mode de mise en œuvre intéressant de l'invention la pièce, en forme d'accordéon 1 est constituée à partir d'une plaque de tôle métallique qui est gaufrée. Une telle disposition permet d'une part d'augmenter le caractère tranchant des bords de la pièce en forme d'accordéon 1 et d'autre part d'améliorer sa souplesse et donc sa capacité de déformation sous l'effort d'arrachement. Ce mode de mise en œuvre de l'invention améliore ainsi la capacité du dispositif antivol à sectionner les câbles lors d'une tentative d'arrachement. Each of the folds 2 constitutes an individual housing intended to receive one or more cables 3 that it is desired to protect. Advantageously, the folds 2 may be of different sizes so as to be able to receive a different number of cables and / or cables of different sections. In one interesting embodiment of the invention the part shaped accordion 1 is formed from a sheet metal plate which is embossed. Such an arrangement makes it possible, on the one hand, to increase the sharpness of the edges of the accordion-shaped piece 1 and, on the other hand, to improve its flexibility and thus its capacity for deformation under the pulling force. This embodiment of the invention thus improves the ability of the antitheft device to cut the cables during a tear attempt.
On comprend que, lors de l'enfoncement de l'ancrage dans le sol et notamment du pieu 5, les câbles 3 se trouvent serrés et solidarisés entre eux, si bien que, lorsqu'une personne mal intentionnée viendra exercer sur au moins l'un des câbles une traction en vue de l'extraire du sol, la résistance à l'arrachement se trouvera fortement augmentée par rapport à la situation antérieure où la force d'arrachement était exercée sur un câble unique.  It is understood that, during the depression of the anchoring in the ground and in particular of the pile 5, the cables 3 are tight and secured together, so that when a malicious person will come to exercise on at least the one of the cables pulling in order to extract it from the ground, the tearing resistance will be greatly increased compared to the previous situation where the pulling force was exerted on a single cable.
Cette résistance à l'arrachement est encore augmentée lorsque, comme représenté sur les figures 1, 3, et 4, on dote l'ancrage 5 de fils d'ancrage déployables 6 qui viennent constituer un frein supplémentaire s'opposant à la force de traction exercée par un malfaiteur. Dans un mode de mise en œuvre de l'invention, la pièce en forme d'accordéon 1 possède au moins un pli 2 dont les bords sont tranchants. Ainsi, lors d'une tentative d'arrachage, la pièce en forme d'accordéon 1 se déforme sous l'effet de la force d'arrachage, et les bords tranchants de celle-ci viennent sectionner le câble 3 logé dans ledit pli 2 ou, à tout le moins, l'entailler fortement, et ceci avec une puissance de coupe qui augmente avec ia force d'arrachage exercée par le maifaiteur. On peut, suivant l'invention, faciliter la déformation de ia pièce en forme d'accordéon 1 en réalisant celle- ci de façon telle qu'elle comporte des plis 2 souples. This tear resistance is further increased when, as shown in Figures 1, 3, and 4, the anchor 5 is provided with deployable anchoring son 6 which is an additional brake opposing the pulling force exercised by a malefactor. In one embodiment of the invention, the accordion-shaped piece 1 has at least one fold 2 whose edges are sharp. Thus, during a tearing attempt, the accordion-shaped piece 1 deforms under the effect of the pulling force, and the cutting edges thereof cut the cable 3 housed in said fold 2 or, at the very least, notch it strongly, and this with a cutting power which increases with the pulling force exerted by the maifaitor. According to the invention, it is possible to facilitate the deformation of the accordion-shaped piece 1 by producing it in such a way that it comprises flexible folds 2.
On remarquera que, ainsi que représenté sur la figure 4, lorsque le dispositif suivant l'invention est enterré, dans le sol, la surface 10 de la terre qui le recouvre ainsi que la terre qui se trouve à l'intérieur des plis 2 forme un volume 8 de terre et de métal qui joue un rôle de frein s'opposant à toute tentative d'arrachage des câbles 3. Il en est de même pour l'ancrage 5, complété éventuellement de fils d'ancrage 6, qui forme également avec la terre qui l'entoure un volume 7 de terre et de métal qui joue le rôle d'un deuxième frein s'opposant à toute tentative de retrait des câbles 3.  It will be noted that, as shown in FIG. 4, when the device according to the invention is buried, in the ground, the surface 10 of the earth covering it and the earth inside the folds 2 form a volume 8 of earth and metal which acts as a brake opposing any attempt to tear the cables 3. It is the same for the anchor 5, possibly supplemented with anchoring son 6, which also forms with the surrounding earth a volume 7 of earth and metal which acts as a second brake opposing any attempt to remove the cables 3.
On comprend que le dispositif suivant l'invention assure essentiellement deux fonctions antivol lors d'une tentative d'arrachage, à savoir d'une part une augmentation de la résistance à la force d'arrachage des câbles et d'autre part une rupture prématurée de ces derniers.  It will be understood that the device according to the invention essentially provides two anti-theft functions during a tearing attempt, namely on the one hand an increase in the resistance to the tearing force of the cables and, on the other hand, a premature rupture. of these.
La présente invention est également intéressante en ce qu'elle permet de proposer à un utilisateur de réaliser iui-même la pièce en forme d'accordéon 1 de façon à lui permettre de réaliser des plis 2 de la dimension qu'il souhaite en fonction du diamètre spécifique et du nombre de câbles qu'il souhaite protéger. On réalise ainsi une plaque antivol qui est constituée d'une bande de tôle en acier gaufré qui est percée suivant sa longueur d'au moins une lumière, destinée à être traversée par l'ancrage. Le gaufrage favorisera la pliure de la bande par l'utilisateur de façon à lui permettre de réaliser la pièce en forme d'accordéon. Dans une variante le gaufrage pourra être remplacé par de petites ondulations réalisées suivant le sens transversai de la bande ce qui favorisera sa pliure ultérieure pour constituer la pièce en forme d'accordéon.  The present invention is also of interest in that it makes it possible to propose to a user to make himself the accordion-shaped piece 1 so as to enable him to make folds 2 of the desired size as a function of the diameter and the number of cables he wants to protect. Thus, an anti-theft plate is made of a sheet of embossed steel sheet which is pierced along its length with at least one light, to be traversed by the anchor. The embossing will favor the folding of the band by the user so as to allow him to achieve the accordion-shaped piece. In a variant, the embossing may be replaced by small corrugations made in the transverse direction of the strip which will promote its subsequent folding to form the accordion-shaped piece.
