A description is given of a bollard designed specifically for signalling in places through which, road traffic passes, both in cities, towns and villages and on roads and motorways. The bollard comprises two separate elements, of which one provides lower anchorage to the ground, and is stiff, and the other is the section of the bollard itself, and is elastic, flexible and capable of being fitted to the lower element by means of a bayonet configuration. In the rapid recovery version, the upper flexible element incorporates an inflatable pneumatic ball inside. The whole bollard has a lid that can be fitted to the lower anchoring element when the upper one has been removed, this lid being shaped to remain flush, coupled, to the surface of the ground.
Removable pneumatic bollard for signalling with hidden anchorage, specifically a bollard conceived and designed for signalling in places with flows of road traffic, whether inside cities, towns and villages or an roads or motorways, unique because it has two separate, independent elements (1,6), which can be fitted to and removed from each other, and which is anchored to the ground by a lower positioning element (6), and consists of a generally cylindrical body, with hollow interior, open at the upper base, equipped with claws or supports (9) which fix it to the ground and which project from the body (6) in diametrically opposed positions, running upwards in parallel with the latter, the body (6) having a pair of openings that begin at the edge of the perimeter of the upper base, in diametrically opposed positions, and follow a predetermined course to create a bayonet type harness, while the other element (1), with an upper position, is the bollard element itself, and consists of a generally prism-shaped, flexible body, made from elastic material, which incorporates an interior fitting (8) of a height approximately equivalent to that of the lower anchoring element (6), and from which two diametrically opposed nubs project radially, shaped and configured to be housed inside the slots (3) of the lower element and to complement the bayonet harnessing system, the upper body also having a pneumatic inflatable ball (2), for the rapid recovery of the upper section (1) in the event that it is bent due to an accident, to which effect the pneumatic ball has a lower section (12) housed in the internal metallic fitting (8) of the upper element (1) of the bollard.
Ballard according to claims 1 to 4, unique because it also includes secure closure (4) which keeps both elements (1, 6) fitted together as an operational bollard.
