The invention relates to a street banquet slab according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

The street banquet is a strip adjacent to a roadway lane. Unpaved street banquets often break out on the side, which subsequently also damages the edge of the road. As a result, repairs to the roadside and the street banquet are often necessary, such repairs increasing the maintenance costs of the infrastructure and causing traffic jams.

In order to additionally fasten the street banquet, street banquet plates are known, which are placed next to the edge of the road on the street banquet in order to additionally support the road edge and to protect the street banquet.

A disadvantage of such street banquet slabs is that they are used for the

Reliable support of the roadside and not to be moved by vehicles driving up, have a large mass, which makes laying much more difficult and the use of cranes and the like is also required.In addition, gaps form in the curve area between two adjacent street banquet slabs, which reduces the retention capacity of the street banquet slabs is and these can be moved more easily.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a street banquet slab of the type mentioned at the beginning, with which the disadvantages mentioned can be avoided, with which a good support of the road edge is possible even in curves and which is easy to install.

According to the invention this is achieved by the features of claim 1.

This results in the advantage that the connecting means on the side surfaces form the street banquet plates together, which means that the individual street banquet plates can be made with a small mass, but the street banquet plates are nevertheless strongly prevented from shifting. Because of the small possible

2.23

35867

Mass, the street banquet slabs can also be laid by hand, which considerably reduces the effort for laying. Due to the inclination of the side surfaces to one another, whereby the individual connecting device can optionally be connected to the same connecting device or to the other connecting device of the adjacent street banquet plate, the street banquet plates can be placed either straight or following a curve in both directions, and still remain connected to one another, with gaps between adjacent street banquet slabs can be avoided. As a result, the edge of the carriageway can be reliably supported, in particular in curves or in the area of roundabouts, in which the carriageway edges are often exposed to increased loads.

The subclaims relate to further advantageous refinements of the invention.

Reference is hereby expressly made to the wording of the patent claims, as a result of which the claims are inserted at this point by reference into the description and are considered to be reproduced verbatim.

The invention is described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which only preferred embodiments are shown by way of example. It shows:

1 to 7 show preferred embodiments of a street banquet plate 1 for supporting a roadway edge, comprising a first side surface 2 and a second side surface 3 opposite the first side surface 2. A street banquet plate 1 is a plate which is intended to be placed on a street banquet to support the side of the road, i.e. the edge of the road, so that it does not break out under load. The street banquet plate 1 has the two opposite side surfaces 2, 3, it being provided that two adjacent street banquet plates 1 make contact on the side surfaces 2, 3.

It is provided that the first side surface 2 is arranged obliquely with respect to the second side surface 3. In this context, oblique means that the first side surface 2 and the second side surface do not run parallel to one another, but are tilted relative to one another, the tilt axis running perpendicularly when viewed in the operating position. In particular, it can be provided that the side surface 2 and the second side surface 3 each run vertically.

It is also provided that the first side surface 2 is a first

Connection device 4 and the second side surface 3 a second

Connecting device 5 has that the first connecting device 4 and the second connecting device 5 each have at least one tongue 6 and a groove 7 which is formed essentially opposite to the tongue 6, and that the first connecting device 4 and the second connecting device 5 are designed such that they are optional can be connected to the first connecting device 4 or the second connecting device 5 of an identically designed adjacent street banquet plate 1. The

Connecting devices 4, 5 are configurations of the respective side surface 2, 3,

4.23

35867 which are intended to counteract at least shear forces along the side surface 2, 3 between two adjacent street banquet slabs 1. As a result, a force exerted on a street banquet plate 1 is transmitted to the adjacent street banquet plates 1, as a result of which it is held in its position.

The at least one spring 6 of a street banquet board 1 is intended to engage in the groove 7 of the opposite street banquet board 1 and vice versa, whereby both street banquet board 1 can be connected to each other. The fact that the groove 7 is essentially opposite to the tongue 6 means that there is play between the groove 7 and a tongue 6 arranged in the groove 7. This game makes assembly easier.

In particular, only one tongue 6 and only one groove 7 can be provided per connecting device 4, 5.

Alternatively, several tongues 6 and 7 grooves per

Connection device 4.5 may be provided.

The first connecting device 4 and the second connecting device 5 are designed in such a way that the first connecting device 4 or the second connecting device 5 can optionally be connected to the first connecting device 4 or the second connecting device 5, as a result of which each side face 2, 3 of the street banquet plate 1 can be connected to any one Side surface 2, 3 of an identically designed street banquet plate 1 can be connected. Because of the inclination of the side surfaces 2, 3 to one another, the street banquet plate 1 can therefore be strung together along a straight line but also along a curve. In particular, it can be provided that the first side surface 2 including the first connecting device 4 can be brought into alignment with the second side surface 3 including the second connecting device 5 by an imaginary rotation about a vertical tilt axis.

This results in the advantage that the street banquet panels 1 together form a composite through the connecting devices 4, 5 on the side surfaces 2, 3

23.5

Form 35867, whereby the individual street banquet panels 1 can be designed with a low mass but a strong retention effect of the street banquet panels 1 against displacement is achieved. Because of the small mass that is possible as a result, the street banquet slabs 1 can also be laid by hand, which considerably reduces the effort required for laying. Due to the inclination of the side surfaces 2, 3 to one another, wherein the individual connecting device 4, 5 can optionally be connected to the same connecting device 4, 5 or the other connecting device 4, 5 of the adjacent street banquet plate 1, the street banquet plates 1 can either be straight or a curve in both Lay on following directions, and yet remain connected to one another, wherein gaps between adjacent street banquet slabs 1 can be avoided. As a result, the edge of the carriageway can be reliably supported, particularly in curves or in the area of roundabouts, where the carriageway edges are often exposed to increased loads.

The street banquet plate 1 can in particular be made of concrete.

Alternatively, it can be provided that the street banquet plate 1 is made of plastic, stone or recycling material.

It can further be provided that the street banquet plate 1 is formed in one piece.

It can preferably be provided that the first side surface 2 and the second side surface 3 are connected to one another by means of a first end surface 8 and a second end surface 9 opposite the first end surface 8, the first end surface 8 preferably being parallel to the second end surface 9.

The street banquet slab 1 can in particular be a, preferably flat,

Have support surface, wherein a vertical of the street banquet plate 1 is in particular perpendicular to the support surface.

In particular, it can be provided that a floor plan of the street banquet plate 1 essentially has the shape of a trapezoid, preferably an isosceles trapezoid. The floor plan is the projection along one

6.23

35867

Vertical of the street banquet slab 1. The floor plan can in particular the

Surface of the contact surface of the street banquet plate 1.

The two side surfaces 2, 3 and the two end surfaces 8, 9 can preferably extend vertically upward from the support surface.

In the isosceles trapezoid, the two side surfaces 2, 3 are of equal length. This results in the advantage that it is possible to arrange the street banquet slab 1 in such a way that the end faces 8, 9 are arranged on one side along a common plane and can thus contact a straight edge of the road without gaps or spaces.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the first side surface 2 and the second side surface 3 are connected to one another by means of the first end surface 8 and the second end surface 9 opposite the first end surface 8, the first end surface 8 being longer than the second end surface 9 Difference in length of the end faces 8 results in the inclination of the side faces 2, 3 to one another.

It can further be provided that the first side surface 2 is arranged obliquely with respect to the second side surface 3 by an angle of at least 2 °, in particular at least 4 °, particularly preferably essentially 5 °. The angle between the first side surface 2 and the second side surface 3 is the deviation from the parallelism of the two side surfaces 2 to one another. The tilt axis of this angle runs along the vertical of the street banquet slab 1. This means that a maximum of 45 street banquet slabs 1 can be followed by a 90 ° curve, making it easy to follow a curved street.

The angle between the side surface 2, 3 can in particular be the angle between a first plane of the first side surface 2 and a second plane of the second side surface 3. These levels can be the level of the respective side surface 2, 3 from which the spring 6 projects and the groove 7 enters. In particular, it can be provided that the first level through the two edges of the first side face 2 with the two end faces 8, 9, and the second level

7.23

35867 is spanned by the two edges of the second side face 3 with the two end faces 8, 9.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the first side surface 2 and / or the second side surface 2 includes an acute angle of a maximum of 89 °, preferably a maximum of 88 °, with respect to the first end surface 8.

In particular, provision can be made for the first side surface 2 and / or the second side surface 2 to form an obtuse angle of at least 91 °, preferably at most 92 °, with respect to the second end surface 9.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the first side surface 2 is arranged obliquely with respect to the second side surface 3 by an angle of at most 10 °, in particular at most 6 °. As a result, the road banquet slabs 1 can follow a curve with a gradation of 10 ° or less.

It can particularly preferably be provided that the first end face 8 has a length of at most 50 cm, in particular at most 30 cm, particularly preferably at most 25 cm. This short length in comparison to conventional street banquet slabs results in the advantage of low weight, among other things. Since the design of the street banquet slabs allows either straight or curved installation, the short length also has the advantage that the course of the street can be followed very flexibly.

In particular, it can be provided that the first end face has a length of at least 13 cm, in particular at least 20 cm.

It can preferably be provided that a maximum depth of the groove is 3 cm.

It can further be provided that a distance between the first end face 8 and the second end face 9 is between 20 cm and 50 cm, preferably essentially 33 cm. As a result, 1 guide post can be arranged in the street banquet next to the street banquet slabs.

It can particularly preferably be provided that a mass of the

Street banquet plate 1 is a maximum of 60 kg, in particular a maximum of 40 kg, particularly preferably a maximum of 20 kg. With this small mass, the

8.23

35867

Street banquet slab 1 can be easily laid by hand.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the mass of the street banquet plate 1 is at least 10 kg.

In particular, it can be provided that the contact surface of the

Street banquet plate 1 is parallel to a cover surface 10 opposite the support surface. This has the advantage that an essentially flat and passable cover surface 10 is formed regardless of the row arrangement of the street banquet plates 1.

In particular, a thickness of the street banquet plate can be between 10 cm and 14 cm, preferably essentially 12 cm. The thickness of the street banquet slab corresponds to the distance between the support surface and the top surface 10.

Furthermore, it can be provided that at least two recesses 11 are formed on the cover surface 10, a web 12 running from the first side surface 2 to the second side surface 3 and arranged in the middle running between the at least two recesses 11. The depressions 11 cause vibrations which are clearly perceptible to the driver in a vehicle traveling onto the street banquet slabs 1, as a result of which the driver can be signaled that he has left the road. The centrally arranged web 12 ensures that a snow plow or the like is guided over the depressions 11 and does not get caught on the depressions 11, and in this way the snow plow and / or the street banquet plates 1 are damaged.

In particular, it can be provided that the depressions 11 are open at the edges with respect to the end faces 8, 9. In this way, water can simply drain from the wells.

With the connecting devices 4, 5, it may already be sufficient that the spring 6 is designed as an extension with sliding surfaces, wherein when a shear force occurs on the side surfaces 2, 3, two adjacent road banquet panels 1 are moved apart by the adjacent ones

Street banquet panels 1 is counteracted. The extension with sliding surfaces can in particular be designed as a wedge or hemispherical extension.

23.9

35867

It can be particularly preferably provided that the first connecting device 4 and the second connecting device 5 are designed such that a connection of the connecting devices 4, 5 is form-fitting against shear forces along the respective side surface 2, 3. In this way, when shear forces occur, there is no sliding between tongue 6 and groove 7, but tongue 6 and groove 7 alone counteract the shear forces in a form-fitting manner. Forces impinging in the direction of the side surface 2, 3 can be transmitted from one street banquet plate 1 to the neighboring street banquet plate 1. An example of connecting devices 4, 5 designed in this way is shown in the preferred embodiment in FIG. 7, in which the spring 6 is designed as an extension with a rectangular plan, the flanks of which are parallel to the end faces 8, 9.

It can also be provided that the tongue 6 and the groove 7 are undercut. The undercut not only allows forces to be absorbed along the side surfaces 2, 3, but also tensile forces between two adjacent street banquet panels 1. This makes the strings work together

Street banquet boards 1 like a drawstring, the individual

Street banquet boards 1 reliably held in place by the adjacent street banquet boards 1. An example of connecting devices 4, 5 designed in this way is shown in the preferred embodiment in FIG. 6, in which the spring 6 has a flank running parallel to the end faces 8, 9 and an undercut flank.

It can particularly preferably be provided that the tongue 6 and the groove 7 are designed as dovetail connections. In the dovetail connection, both flanks of the spring 6 are undercut. An advantage of the dovetail connection is that it can absorb particularly high tensile forces. An example of such connecting devices 4, 5 is shown in the preferred embodiment of a street banquet plate 1 in FIGS. 1 to 5.

Furthermore, a street banquet plate arrangement 13 is composed of a plurality of street banquet plates 1 connected to one another, comprising at least one straight section 14 and / or at least one curved section 15, with the at least one
