Description

The invention relates to a

Road marking posts. Well-known road marking posts do their job in the warm Season of the year, but they fail in winter because they are driven by both snowdrifts and through the masses of snow piled up by snow plows and snow blowers on both sides of the streets are covered. The responsible administrative authorities are therefore forced to close the roadsides before the onset of winter to be provided with additional snow symbols. These snow signs are either wooden poles that support the Be stored in their own storage areas during the summer,

or freshly cut tree trunks, which still have a wreath of branches at the top, the latter form being restricted to secondary roads.

For storage, painting, impregnation of wooden bars, or for cutting and Limbing the tree trunks is created every year.

^ - recurring costs. Further costs arise because the snow signs or pointers distributed along the roads with trucks and several workers and used and must be removed again in spring. Because the distance between the snow pointer is straight It is easy to understand that after the According to calculations by the responsible authorities, the setting of the snow pointer annually per kilometer is around DM 90.00 Costs incurred, with the cost of storage

P etc. are not yet taken into account.

The object of the invention is

to reduce this effort considerably and to create a road boundary post, which can be used equally in summer as in winter and thereby the storage or manufacture as well as the attachment and removal of snow _{pointers largely 718} 909834/0131 - 3 - "■

superfluous »in particular should also« the use of trucks and in several workers switched off * Finally, the incentive to steal should also be the snow pointer can be reduced, which, according to previous experience, is not uncommon as firewood to be abused "

The invention achieves these objects

in that the post is at least upwards has opening cavity which encloses a telescopically upward pull-out snow pointer.

This limits the annual effort _; that in autumn the snow pointer is pulled out of the road marking post by a road attendant and pushed back in again in spring. This results in costs amounting to around 5,9ό of the costs previously incurred, which could save around DM 60,000,000.00 annually in the Federal Republic of Germany, for example.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the snow pointer is in several telescopic " extendable sections divided.

• According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the post and the Snow pointer is provided with latching means that come into engagement when the snow pointer is pulled out Another advantageous feature of the snow pointer is provided with a stop at its lower end, which is adjacent to a counter-stop on the post when the snow pointer is sucked out.

Another feature is there

in that a cap-shaped extension is provided at the upper end of the snow pointer, which when the snow pointer is inserted at the upper end of the post rests

It proves to be particularly advantageous if, near the upper end of the Schneeseigers, a bore that crosses it is used in this Acceptance of interchangeable auxiliary characters attached is · This means that special instructions for snowploughs etc. can be given not only in winter, but also in the summer in the event of accidents or construction work

Warning signals that are visible from afar should be attached to the extended snow pointers.

Finally there is one more

An advantageous feature of the invention is that the lower end of the post is designed as a longitudinally slotted hollow cylinder which terminates in a conical extension, an annular groove running around the area of the upper edge of this extension and furthermore a post-like base fitted with its upper end to this hollow cylinder is. By this ^L Au3gestaltung the post can be relatively easily pushed onto the base, wherein the longitudinal slot allows the necessary expansion and the conical widening facilitates the fitting, while the annular groove and its corresponding part of the base, an annular bead, a forpschlüssige Connect. When the post is pressed on, the conical surfaces of the post and base lie against one another, which results in a stable fit. If the post is hit in the event of an accident, it is pushed off the base again.

In the description that follows

The post 12 is provided in its lower cylindrical section 22 with a longitudinal slot 24, which a temporary widening of the post 12, which is preferably made of plastic, is necessary. At the lower end of the post 1.2 η it is provided with an inner, conically widening annular surface 26, which corresponds to a corresponding conical surface 28 on the head 30 of the stick 18, over the annular groove 32 is provided over the conical surface 28 an annular bead 34.
