    COVERING ELEMENT Covering element and method for covering the environment of a stationary traffic object arranged along a road and arranged in a ground, in particular a traffic sign post, traffic light posts or lamppost.
    Mowing machines are used to mow the verge along traffic roads, in many cases self-propelled mowing machines or mowing machines that are towed by a tractor or similar vehicle. These mowing machines may be provided with one or more rotating mowing units. Such mowing machines are relatively large and not very manoeuvrable. The same often applies to the mowing units attached thereto. This makes it difficult to mow near roadside upright traffic objects such as traffic sign posts, traffic light posts, lamp posts and the like. This means that in practice it is necessary to switch to manual mowing in the vicinity of such obstacles.
    A drawback of this manual mowing is that it can often lead to dangerous situations for the persons involved (i.e. the mowers) because the traffic objects are usually located on the verge, close to the road and the traffic therefore passes these persons at a very short distance. Roads sometimes have to be completely or partially closed to allow mowing. Furthermore, mowing manually means a relatively large labor cost item, which makes the total maintenance costs of the road higher.
    The object of the invention is to at least partially obviate at least one of the drawbacks mentioned.
    According to a first aspect, a covering element of the type mentioned in the preamble is provided for this purpose, wherein the covering element comprises a substantially disc-shaped concrete body which is provided with a continuous axial opening which is designed to enable the concrete body to be fitted around the traffic object, wherein the concrete body has a top and wherein over at least a part of the top the concrete body slopes downwards radially outwardly from the axial opening.
    The concrete element can be placed on the ground in such a way that it extends around the traffic object (eg the traffic sign post). At least a part of the top side of the concrete element slopes downwards, viewed from the opening, radially outwards, so that rainwater and/or dirt falling on the top side is discharged. Grass or weeds therefore do not have the opportunity to grow on the top almost at all. At the location of the covering element around the traffic object, it is therefore in principle no longer necessary to mow.
    As will be explained later, the concrete element can be designed such, for instance have a cross-sectional shape, that mowing machines are relatively easy to use.
    ° BE2021/5239 being able to mow around the concrete elements. This also benefits the efficiency of the mowing process.
    The axial opening in the concrete traffic object may be provided centrally in the concrete body, but this is not necessarily the case in all embodiments. The axial opening can also be arranged eccentrically, for instance in cases where the traffic object is close to an obstacle that limits the available space around the traffic object for covering the ground.
    In certain embodiments, the concrete body may have a cylindrical shape, with a height in the axial direction which is less than the diameter of the base of the cylinder. The cylinder may have a substantially round, in particular a substantially circular or oval cross-section, but differently shaped cross-sections are also possible, for example - but not limited to - a disc-shaped concrete body with a polygonal cross section.
    The covering element is preferably made of concrete. Concrete is structurally strong and also has a sufficient weight to ensure, even with small covering element(s), that it remains stable on a substrate, without the need for special measures such as fasteners. This means that the covering element is self-supporting. In certain embodiments, the concrete body is made of water-permeable concrete material. Such a (porous) concrete body can discharge rainwater in an even simpler manner than covering elements manufactured from impermeable concrete material.
    By using concrete formulations that are particularly resistant to the influences of water and/or weather, such as concrete formulations that are used in dyke reinforcement, an extra durable covering element can be obtained.
    The concrete body may be monolithic (i.e. constructed in one piece). Such a body is, however, in some cases more difficult to place, especially in cases of existing traffic objects, since it is not always possible to simply place the traffic object in the opening or to arrange the concrete body around the traffic object. Moreover, the weight of such a monolithic covering element is relatively high, so that extra heavy lifting provisions have to be taken into account to get such a covering element in place. According to further embodiments, the covering element comprises a number (preferably two, but this number can also be greater) concrete covering element parts placed abutting or placed against each other, which together - when placed on the ground - form the concrete body. Such covering element parts can be so heavy that they remain stably resting on the substrate after placement, but also be so light that they remain relatively easy to handle, for instance during placing of the covering element. A further advantage of a version with several
    > BE2021/5239 cover element parts, with their axial recess, they can easily be placed around a traffic object already installed in the ground, without the traffic object having to be temporarily removed and/or disassembled.
    In particular, a cover element portion may have a contact surface with which it contacts an adjacent cover element portion. A recess can be provided in the contact surface, wherein recesses of covering element parts placed against each other together form the continuous axial opening. The recesses make it possible to place a first cover element part on a first side next to a traffic object (with the traffic object partly in the first recess, and to place a second cover element part on a second, opposite side next to the traffic object, with the traffic object partly in the second Together, the covering element parts then form a covering element arranged around the traffic object. This makes placing the covering element around a traffic object, in particular if the object is an existing traffic object already arranged in the underground, relatively simple and fast.
    The contact surfaces between the cover element parts can be completely flat, but can have a certain varying shape. In certain embodiments, the contact surfaces comprise alignment means for keeping the cover element parts aligned relative to each other. These aligning means can in particular be designed to prevent mutual lateral sliding of the covering element parts. The cover elements then remain stably in place. These aligning means can for instance be formed by projections and corresponding recesses provided in the end edges of the cover element parts.
    The contact surfaces between the cover element parts may be provided with a protective layer such that when two contact surfaces are placed against each other the two respective contact surfaces have a connection such that they adhere to each other to a certain extent, thus preventing substantial contamination and/or plant growth occurs between the covering element parts.
    The covering element parts are, for example, of substantially arc-shaped design. The ends of the arch form can then be placed against each other so that the whole can be arranged around a traffic object and form a substantially annular concrete protection.
    In certain embodiments, the cover element parts associated with a particular cover element have substantially the same shape and dimensions. This simplifies the manufacture of the cover element and may in some cases lead to a reduction in transport costs. In other embodiments, the cover element parts are
    ° BE2021/5239 of different design, for example a separate left-hand cover element part and right-hand cover element part.
    As mentioned before, the concrete covering element is provided with a continuous axial opening (usually a central opening but the opening can also be located at other positions) through which, in use, the traffic object protrudes. However, there are different types of traffic sign posts such as bottle posts and tubular posts, different types of lamp posts, traffic light posts and the like with different shapes and cross-sectional sizes. The said continuous axial opening is therefore preferably adapted to these shapes and dimensions so that there is relatively little or no space between the obstacle and the inside of the concrete element. When the traffic objects have a round cross-section, the openings are also round (e.g. circular or oval). There are different internal sizes, so that for different pile thicknesses there is always a version of the concrete element that closely encloses the obstacle. The perimeter of the concrete element can also be round (circular), but other perimeter shapes are also possible.
    In embodiments of the invention, the underside of the concrete body is substantially flat so that the body can be stably supported on a flat surface. The covering element comprises a concrete body, which consists either of one part or of two or more (concrete element) parts. The concrete element parts can further be arranged in a receiving space previously excavated in the subsoil (which may or may not be provided with a sand bed).
    When the underside of the concrete element has a flat design, it can rest stably on (the sand bed on) the substrate. at least the bottom of the receiving space arranged in the underground. The top of the covering element, at least the part along the circumference thereof, preferably extends at the same height as the surrounding substrate.
    In embodiments of the invention, the outer side along the periphery of the concrete body comprises one or more, in principle vertically upright side surfaces of considerable height, for instance side surfaces which are at an angle of at least 87 degrees with the flat underside. The number and shape of the side faces here depend on the circumferential shape of the concrete element, so that the side faces connect to the top and bottom. As noted earlier, the concrete element parts can be arranged in a receiving space excavated in advance in the underground. In that case, the ground around the concrete element parts can be supplemented, if necessary, so that the side surfaces of the body rest against the surface surrounding the side, which forms the edge of the receiving space. The concrete cover element is relatively flat and buried and has a high weight, making it stable and not likely to shift. Separate fastening means of the covering element to the obstacle and/or the ground can thus be dispensed with. The cover element may contain
    ° BE2021/5239 (traffic) sensors are installed (e.g. fully or partially embedded), as will be explained later.
    When using the concrete covering element buried in the ground, a further advantage is that less wear will occur because the covering element is less exposed to air; weather; and the influence of vehicles, animals, and passers-by will be exposed.
    In embodiments of the invention, the height of the one or more vertically upright side faces is greater than half of the total height of the concrete element, i.e. the height in the center of the concrete element, and preferably at least two thirds of the total height. Such a height ensures that at the burial depth described above, viewed from the side, the largest part of the concrete element, preferably at least two thirds of the concrete element, is located below the height of the surrounding subsoil.
    When using the concrete element buried in the ground, the burial depth is preferably such that the one or more vertically upright side surfaces lie substantially entirely below the height of the surrounding subsoil, wherein the entire side surfaces preferably lie against the subsurface surrounding the side and preferably the top of the side surfaces is level with the surrounding substrate.
    Because the vertically upright side surfaces are situated against the surrounding surface on the side, the concrete element will not shift quickly when buried in use. Horizontal forces that are exerted on the concrete element despite the buried use of the concrete element will be counteracted by the relatively large horizontal forces which can be transferred to the surrounding subsoil by the one or more sides of the concrete element. Vertical forces will be less easily exerted on the concrete element, and will moreover experience resistance from friction between the concrete element and the surrounding substrate. The possibility of turning the concrete element upwards by raising the concrete element on one side is also strongly limited because the side surfaces and the bottom surface of the concrete element are more difficult to reach and because there is essentially no room for rotation on the opposite side of the concrete element. of the concrete element.
    The measures described above make it possible to install the covering element stably in the ground so that no coupling whatsoever is required between the covering element and the traffic object. In certain preferred embodiments, the covering element is therefore in principle constructively free from the traffic object.
    A number of concentric regions may be defined on the top of the cover member around the through axial opening, the outermost region along the periphery of the concrete member having a top with a smaller angle of inclination (0) than the one or more radially more inwardly. localized areas. The angle of inclination (0) becomes
    ° BE2021/5239 defined as the angle between the direction of the imaginary plane through the relevant part of the top of the concrete body and a direction of an imaginary plane transverse to its axial direction. This means that the covering element has a relatively flat design on the circumferential edges. Especially when the cover element is fitted so deeply into the ground that the circumferential edge is approximately at the same height as the ground, the ends of mowing units (e.g. a mowing wing) of the mowing machine can pass over the gently sloping part of the top of the mowing without any problems. cover element to be moved. When approaching the obstacle too close, the laterally projecting element hits the rapidly sloping part of the top of the concrete element, giving the operator of the mower a signal that the obstacle is about to get too close. In other words, in certain embodiments, the cover element includes a mowing area along the circumferential edge of the concrete element and a warning area extending more radially inwardly. In this case, the top surface between areas with different angles of inclination can in each case comprise a rounded intermediate area. This reduces the possibility of damage to the cutting unit and further reduces the possibility of mud and dirt accumulating on the top of the cover element.
    Said angle of inclination (0) in the circumferential region is preferably in the range from 0 to 10 degrees, preferably in the range from 1 to 5 degrees, for example 2 to 3 degrees. The angle of inclination (02) in a more inwardly adjacent region is in the range of 10 to 70 degrees, preferably 20 to 50 degrees or in the range of 30 to 40 degrees.
    In a particular embodiment, the concrete body from the through-axial opening radially outwardly comprises successively a first portion with a maximum average thickness and a small average inclination angle, a second portion with a smaller average thickness and large average inclination angle, and a third portion with a minimum average thickness and small average angle of inclination. The second part can, for example, have a kink shape in profile.
    The covering element may further comprise a sensor arranged on or on the concrete body. This sensor is preferably wholly or partly embedded in the concrete material. The sensor may be provided with a passive wireless transmitter and/or receiver for wirelessly transmitting a measurement signal to an external receiver for further processing or processing. wirelessly receiving signals, for instance control signals with which the sensor can be controlled and/or measurement signals from neighboring sensors for forwarding the measurement results from one sensor to the other. The sensor can be designed as a passive sensor, which means that it obtains its electrical supply from the received electromagnetic radiation, such as radiation resulting from mobile telephone traffic. For example, the sensor may be a temperature sensor for outputting a measurement signal representative of the local temperature in or near the
    † BE2021/5239 cover element. This temperature can in turn be representative of the temperature of the road surface. Information about this temperature can be important for the road authority, for example to determine whether there is a risk of slippery conditions.
    According to a second aspect of the invention, a method for covering the environment of a stationary traffic object, in particular a traffic sign pole, traffic light poles or lamppost, is provided along a road and arranged in a ground, the method comprising placing it on or in the placing the covering element defined herein on the substrate. In certain embodiments, the method also comprises making a recess in the ground around the position of the traffic object and placing the covering element in the recess such that the circumferential part of the concrete body is substantially at the same height as the top of the substrate.
    The method may further comprise placing a first cover element portion adjacent to a traffic object, and then placing a second cover element portion adjacent to the traffic object, opposite the first cover element portion.
    According to a third aspect of the invention, a road with at least one lane and a shoulder is provided, to which road stationary traffic objects are added which are arranged in or near the verge, wherein around at least one of the stationary traffic objects is at least one of the covering elements defined herein is provided.
    Further features, features and details of the invention will be elucidated from the following description of some embodiments thereof. Reference is made in the description to the accompanying figures, in which: Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a road in the verge of which a traffic sign has been placed, with an embodiment of the covering element described herein arranged around it; Figure 2 shows a partly cut-away detail view of the traffic sign with covering element according to Figure 1; Figure 3 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a cover element part; Figures 4A and 4B show the covering element according to figures 1-3, respectively in a position just before and a position immediately after the covering element parts have been placed around a traffic object; Figure 5 is a side view of a further embodiment of the covering element in the substrate; and Figure 6 is a side view of a still further embodiment of a covering element arranged in a substrate.
    Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a roadway (W) on the side of which a traffic object 1 is anchored in the ground (O). In the embodiment shown, the traffic object 1 comprises a traffic sign 3 which is attached to the top of a vertical pole 2. The pile 2 is fastened to the subsoil in a known manner via a foundation block or via a similar fastening means, such as the fastening means shown schematically in figure 2.
    17. In other situations, the traffic object may be a traffic sign post, a traffic light post, a light pole or lamp post, a crash barrier, etc.
    The traffic object 1 is placed on the verge (B) right next to the road edge. There is only a short intermediate distance between the edge of the road and the traffic object 1 . Grass or weeds grow around the traffic object 1, which must be mowed now and then. It is common practice to grow grass in the area around the traffic object with the grass extending all the way to the traffic object itself. The short spacing then prevents mowing with a mowing machine in an area around the traffic object so that mowing in that area has to be done manually or requires that the road be completely or partially closed so that the mowing machine can move onto the road.
    Both cases are undesirable, as explained earlier.
    In order to make mowing the grass or weeds in the said area around the pole 2 of the traffic object 1 easier and/or safer, a covering element 4 according to an embodiment of the invention is arranged around the pole 2 in the situation of figure 1 . This cover element 4 is also shown in more detail in figures 2-5.
    The covering element 4 is arranged in an excavation previously made in the subsoil. Provided in the center of the covering element 4 is a continuous axial opening 11 through which the pole 2 of the traffic object 1 has been pushed. The cover element 4 further has a largely flat (but slightly inclined) top side which is approximately at the same height as the top side of the substrate (O) or just above it. Mowing will not be necessary at the location of the covering element. If the covering element is sufficiently large, in the case of covering elements with a circular cross-section a diameter and in the case of elongated covering elements a minimum width and length of at least 40 cm, such as 50 cm to 55 cm for road signs, and at least 70 cm, such as 80 to 85 cm with light towers, this gives the mower (eg depending on the minimum turning radius of the mower) sufficient possibilities to maneuver around the cover element and to mow the grass around the cover element.
    In the embodiment shown, the covering element 4 is built up from two substantially arc-shaped covering element parts 5 and 6. Both covering element parts 5, 6 are with their end ends 7 and 7, respectively. 8 against each other and together form the disc-shaped covering element 4 in the position placed against each other.
    BE2021/5239 The diameter of the through-axial opening 11 provided in the center of the cover element 4 is slightly larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the pile 2, so that the cover element 4 can be fitted fairly closely around the pile 2 (see fig. 2). This reduces the risk of grass or weeds growing in the annular gap between the cover element and the traffic object.
    Figure 3 shows a cover element part 5,6 in more detail. The front end 8 is provided with aligning means for aligning and keeping the covering element parts aligned relative to each other. The aligning means comprise a projection 9 on the front end 8, while the front end 7 is provided with a recess or notch 10. The shape and size of the projection 9 and the notch 10 are adapted to each other. When the cover element 5,6 is fitted against another cover element, the projection 9 will be positioned approximately fit within the recess 10, which is shown in more detail in Figures 4A and 4B. When the cover element parts 5,6 are arranged against each other in this way, mutual displacement of the cover elements in a transverse direction is no longer possible and both cover element parts 5,6 remain neatly in place.
    In the embodiment shown in figures 3,4A,4B and 5, the cover element 4 comprises a relatively thick central part 12, an intermediate part 13 positioned radially outwardly with respect to the central part 12 and a peripheral part 14 arranged radially outwardly. The radially outer edge 15 of the circumferential part 14 is rounded towards the outer side 16 of the concrete element.
    As shown in figures 2, 3, 5 and 6, the outer side 16 of the concrete element in various embodiments consists of one or more vertically upright side surfaces of considerable height which connect to the circumferential part 14 of the top and the bottom, whereby as for example, the outer edge 15 is circular, the outer side 16 will consist of a single cylindrical side face. In these embodiments of the invention, the height of the one or more vertically upright side faces is greater than half of the total height of the concrete element, i.e. the height in the center of the concrete element, and preferably at least two thirds of the total height.
    As has already been noted, the top side of the covering element 4 is designed to be inclined for the greater part downwards. The angle of inclination à, between the top side of the circumferential part 14 and a horizontal direction 19 (ie a direction perpendicular to the axial direction defined by the opening 11) is here relatively small, preferably in the range between 0-10°, with even more preferably in the range of 1-5°, such as 2-3°. This means that rainwater that falls thereon will flow downwards in the direction of the peripheral edge 15 and subsequently end up in the subsoil. In a similar manner, the angle of inclination a 1 between the plane of the intermediate part 13 and a horizontal plane 19 is made steeper, for example in a range of
    10-80°, preferably 20-60° or 30-40°. Here too, the rainwater will flow downwards when it lands on a top side, but the angle of inclination œ is greater than that of the circumferential part 14, so that when a mowing unit threatens to end up at the intermediate part 13 of the covering element 4, it tends to abut the intermediate portion 13. This has the consequence that an auditory and/or tactile signal is issued and the driver of the mowing machine is warned that the mowing unit is close to the traffic object. Furthermore, especially at greater angles of inclination, it can be ensured that the mowing unit cannot move further in the direction of the post 2, so that the post is, as it were, protected against damage.
    In the embodiment shown, the intermediate part 13 is drawn with an essentially constant angle of inclination à. However, in other embodiments, not shown, this angle of inclination will vary. In certain embodiments, the angle of inclination, for instance viewed from the central opening 11, first increases sharply so that a kink, in particular an S-shaped kink, as it were, is realized in the transverse profile of the concrete element. These embodiments have the advantage that the driver of the mowing machine when he comes too close gradually receives more and more optical and/or tactile feedback about the mowing machine approaching too close to the traffic object 1 and can therefore make adjustments more gradually.
    In certain embodiments, the concrete cover element 4 in longitudinal section can define, for example, a profile with a "kink". For example, the concrete element has a relatively large height around the opening, radially outwards the height then decreases only slightly (small angle of inclination, central part of the concrete element), then follows a "kink" (large angle of inclination, middle, rapidly descending part of the concrete element). the concrete element) after which the height decreases only slightly (slowly descending circumferential part of the concrete element, with a small angle of inclination). The transitions between the successive parts are typically slightly rounded.
    The cross-section of the central opening 11 of the covering element 4 may differ per application. In certain embodiments, this diameter is between 250 and 260 mm, preferably 255 mm.
    Also the width of the top surface of the covering element 4, which consists of the central part 12, the intermediate part 13, and the peripheral part 14, can differ per application. In certain embodiments, the width of the central portion 12 is between 125 and 135 mm, preferably 130 mm, the width of the intermediate portion 13 including the upper rounded transition is between 60 and 70 mm, preferably 65 mm, and the width of the circumferential part 14 including upper rounded transition between 90 and 105 mm, preferably 98.5 mm, the total width of the top surface preferably being 296 mm.
    The height of the covering element 4 can also differ per application. In certain embodiments, the height of the cover element 4 at the central part 12 above the lower il BE2021/5239 rounded one is between 100 and 120 mm, preferably 110 mm, the height of the cover element 4 below the intermediate part 13 above the underlying rounded transition between 80 and 100 mm, preferably 90 mm, and the height of the cover element 4 at the circumferential part 14 at the circumference above the rounded outer edge 15 is between 70 and 90 mm, preferably 80 mm.
    The rounding of the outer edge 15 may comprise a chamfer of between 2 and 3 mm, preferably 2.5 mm. At the top at the connection with the top side of the covering element, the front ends 7, 8 can have bevels of between 4x4 and 6x6 mm, preferably 5x5 mm.
    Figure 6 shows an alternative embodiment of a covering element 21 according to the invention. In the embodiment shown, the covering element 21 has only a peripheral part 22 and the intermediate part 13 and the central part 12 are omitted. In this embodiment, the angle of inclination à, between the top side of the cover element 4 and the horizontal direction 19 (i.e. in the embodiment shown a direction parallel to the bottom surface 23 of the cover element 21) is between 0 and 30°, preferably between the 0 and 10°. In this way, rainwater and dirt falling on the top of the covering element will be discharged outwards again in radial direction, so that the chance of vegetation forming on the covering element is reduced.
    The cover element is preferably of a flat design, which means that the thickness or height (i.e. the dimension in the axial direction) is many times smaller than the width (i.e. the dimension in the radial direction). In the embodiments shown, the covering element has a flat round shape, also referred to herein as a disc shape. In those embodiments, the cover element has a round shape in cross-section, for example the shape of a circle or oval. In other embodiments, however, the cover element has a cross-sectional shape that is different. For example, the cover element may be plate-shaped, in particular plate-shaped with a polygonal cross-sectional shape. Such a polygon can be a triangle, a quadrilateral, etc. When the covering element is for instance used to cover the ground around a crash barrier, the element preferably has an elongate shape, even more preferably a rectangular shape. In this case, each covering element can, of course, again be provided with only one axial through-opening for arranging the covering element around one upright of the crash barrier, but the covering element can also have two or more such through-through axial openings. In a particular preferred embodiment, the mutual distance between adjacent through axial openings is equal to the intermediate distance between adjacent uprights of the crash barrier so that one covering element can be easily arranged around two or more uprights of the crash barrier.
    It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments thereof described herein.
    The protection extends to any covering element, any path provided with such a covering element and any method for applying such a covering element which fall within the scope of the following claims, within the scope of which many modifications are conceivable.
