- this problem is solved by means of a marker made of rigid material highly resistant to inclement weather, which gives offering no resistance in case of collision by a vehicle and returns exactly to the initial position automatically.
- the marker according to the invention is therefore made of less expensive material and can solve the problem posed above.
- the anticollision road edge marker comprises a reflector support of the tubular type divided into at least two portions connected by an elastic swivel joint comprising a first sleeve which is fixed coaxially and internally in a rigid fashion to one end of the first portion and projects slightly from said end, as well as a second sleeve which is fixed coaxially and internally in a rigid fashion to one end of the second portion and is recessed slightly in said end.
- Said sleeves are equipped with engagement means comprising for example a projection and indentation pair opposite to one another, which reciprocally engage said sleeves so as to define a precise relative position.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a road edge marker of the type with a support for a reflector (cat's eye) whihh indicates the road way.
- It is well known that road way edges are marked laterally by red reflectors on the driver's side and white ones on the apposite side. The reflectors must maintain a precise position so that the driver can see their reflection; so that it is very important for the reflector support to be in position as well.
- Known supports of the rigid type obviously stay in position, unless they are hit by an automibile or the like or are moved in any way, in which case manual intervention is required to return them to their position. In fact, given the large number of road way markers and the extension of the road system, the manual intervention to bring the road markers back consumes a very high proportion of the working hours of the road maintenance crews. Therefore, while the rigid markers are economical to manufacture, they involve high maintenance costs.
- To solve this severe problem, flexible markers have been made out of rubber material, which return automatically to position in case of collision or displacement. However, these flexible markers have high manufacturing costs, since to maintain their flexibility for an acceptable period while exposed to atmospheric agents, they must be made of specially treated synthetic rubber. Even then however, their duration in inclement weather is fairly limited and so they must be replaced frequently. Therefore from an economical point of veiw, this type of flexible marker has not resolved the problem posed above.
- According to the present invention, this problem is solved by means of a marker made of rigid material highly resistant to inclement weather, which gives offering no resistance in case of collision by a vehicle and returns exactly to the initial position automatically.
- The marker according to the invention is therefore made of less expensive material and can solve the problem posed above.
- According to the present invention, the anticollision road edge marker comprises a reflector support of the tubular type divided into at least two portions connected by an elastic swivel joint comprising a first sleeve which is fixed coaxially and internally in a rigid fashion to one end of the first portion and projects slightly from said end, as well as a second sleeve which is fixed coaxially and internally in a rigid fashion to one end of the second portion and is recessed slightly in said end. Said sleeves are equipped with engagement means comprising for example a projection and indentation pair opposite to one another, which reciprocally engage said sleeves so as to define a precise relative position. The sleeves are also attached to an elastic member, for example a caoutchouc tube or a spring, so that said first and second portions of the support are kept in alignment as long as the first and second sleeve are engaged to each other, while in case of collision or the like, the two portions are allowed to go out of alignment because of the elasticity of the elastic member, which then brings the marker back to its initial position by means of its elastic return and the engagement means provided on the sleeves.
- The invention will be descrived below in detail with reference-to the attached drawings, in which:
- figure 1 is an exploded view of the elastic swivel joint of the marker according to the invention;
- figure 2 is a sectional view of the joint in its normal rest position;
- figure 3 shows the joint is its position when out of alignment and illustrates its operation;
- figure 4 is an example of an embodiment of the road marker according to the invention;
- figure 5 shows the marker of figure 4 in the non- aligned position;
- figure 6 shows another embodiment of the road marker; figure 7 shows the marker of figure 6 in the non- aligned position;
- figures';8 and 9 show another embodiment of the joint according to the invention; and
- figure 10 is a preferred embodiment of the point.
- Figures 4 and 5 show how the road marker according to the invention comprises a support consisting of a
point 1 and apost 2 which supports a cat'seye reflector 3. The two portions of the support consisting ofpoint 1 andpost 2 are connected to one another at the point indicated with 4, by means of swivel joint which allowspost 2 to go out of alignment with the point, or even to lay against the ground, as shown in figure 5, and then to return to its proper position as shown in figure 4. - The joint is described in detail with reference to figures 1 to 3. In these figures, the two portions of the support to be connected at the joint are indicated respectively with 5 (lower part) and 6 (upper part), which in the road marker shown in figure 4 correspond to the
point 1 and thepost 2. - The joint includes two sleeves, a lower one 7 and an upper one 8, which as shown more clearly in the section in figure 2, are fixed to the
respective parts - The
sleeves tapered projections 11 on thesleeve 7 and ofcomplementary indentations 12 on thesleeve 8, which are placed in correspondence with a diametral position of the sleeve. Therefore the sleeves are engaged on contact in a determined position, which is fixed by the engagement between theprojections 11 and theindentations 12. Obviously, the engagement means 11 and 12 may be of a different shape, sicne the only important aspect is that the engagement ensure a very precise relative position for thesleeves reflector 3 of the road marker. - As shown in figures 2 and 3, one of the sleeves, for
example sleeve 7, projects slightly above therespective portion 5, whilesleeve 8 is slightly indented in itsrespective portion 6 of the support. This arrangement facilitates the exact alignment of portions-5 and 6 of the support. - Inside the
sleeves small rubber tube 13, which is fixed to both sleeves 7, 8 by means ofpins rubber tube 13 is a preferred embodiment of the elastic means, which in any case may be realized in various whys, for example by means of special springs. - A natural rubber or caoutchouc tube vulcanized at 200 C has been found to be an elastic member of good performance.
- Therefore, in the road marker's normal position (figure 2) the two
portions portions rubber tube 13 remains well protected, even though as a very small piece its cost is extremely low. - In case of collision or of a reciprocal shift (disalignment) of
portions 5 and 6 (figure 3), the rubber tube.13 gives easily and bends, allowing practically any reciprocal position of theportions portions sleeves - The joint shown in figures 1 to 3 may be placed in the most suitable position of the marker. In figures 4 and 5, the joint is located between the
point 1 and thepost 2, so that the marker is made up of two portions. In this case the lower sleeve of the joint has a flange 16 (indicated with slotted lines in figure 1) which serves to drive the point into the ground using an appropriate device. - Figures 6 and 7 show another embodiment of the marker according to the invention, in which there are two joints in the positions indicated with 17 and 18. In this case the support consists of three parts, that is a
post 19, alower arm 20 and anupper arm 21 which supports thereflector 3. Thelower arm 20 is connected to apoint 22. This embodiment has the advantage of keeping thereflector 3 away from thepost 19, so that the splashes of water and mud which reach the post have difficulty reaching thereflector 3. Figure 7 shows the marker folded atjoint 18. Obviously, it may also be subject to deviations atjoint 17. - Figures 8 and 9 show another embodiment of the joint for road markers according to the invention, in which the elastic memeber of the joint consists of a helical spring.
- As in the preceding embodiments, the joint comprises an
upper sleeve 27 and alower sleeve 28 equipped respectively withprojections 42 and indentations 43 to fix their relative positions. In analogy with the preceding embodiments,sleeve 27 receeds into the upoer portion 45 of the post, and sleeve 28 protrudes with respect to the lower portion 46 (figure 9). The lower sleeve in equipped with aflange 44. - Inside
cavity 33 ofsleeve 27 andcavity 34 ofsleeve 28 are arranged respectively anupper plug 26 and alower plug 29, equipped withlongitudinal grooves spring 25 is compressed between anabutment 48 integral toupper plug 26 and a free bearing 24. - A flexible, tracction-
resistant cable 31 is fixed at the top to ascrew 47 which can be screwed into anut 23 resting aganinst the other side of thesupport 24 ofspring 25. -
Cable 31 is preferably a strand of galvanized or tinned steel. -
Pins lower portions 45 and 46 respectively 36 passing through an opening 40 inupper plug 26 and another opening 38 inupper sleeve opening 39 inlower sleeve 28 and an opening 41 inlower plug 29. - The
cable 31 is fitted in thegrooves 32 of theupper plug 26 and in thegrooves 35 of thelower plug 29,winding apulley 30 at the lower end ofplug 29. Thescrew 47 passes through an opening of thesupport 24 and is engaged bynut 23, which thus fixes thecable 31 in position and in engaging with thescrew 47 causes a certain degree of compression of thespring 25. - The operation of this embodiment of the joint is analogous to that described for the previous embodiments, in that displacement of the upper portion 45 of the post with respect to the
lower portion 46 leads to compression of thespring 25 which tends to bring the two portions of the post back into alignment, and moreover into the exact position established by the engagement of theprojections 42 with the indentations 43. - This embodiment moreover allows the reflector post to be brought back to the exact position desired, even when the upper post 45 is rotated 180 with respect to the
lower post 46 and theproj.ections 42 and indentations are engaged backwards. This situation leads to the inversion of the cat's eye reflector's colour on the marker. - In the present embodiment this position would not be stable, since it would cause the
cable 31 to cross with conseguent compression of thespring 25 which immediately brings the marker back to the correct position. - As can be seen, in this embodiment as well the members of the joint are completely sealed from the external environment, so that their duration for very long periods is ensured.
- Obviously this embodiment of the joint may be realized even without the
pulley 30, even though it does improve the efficiency of the operation. - Moreover, this embodiment is particularly strong and the elastic return produced by the spring is much smoother than that with the caoutchouc member.
- In addition to the shape illustrated above the point of the marker may also be shaped like a spade so that the point may be inserted simply by tapping it in; a preferred shape is shown in figure 10.
- As shown in figure 10, the point consists of two egual pieces of sheet metal joined face to face, for example by means of spot welding.
- Thus the point has a generally spade - like shape, preferentially indicated with 50, and a
tubular sleeve 51 which may also comprise the lower portion of the marker which contains the lower sleeve of the joint. - Laterally the
spade 50 presents a saw tooth profile indicated with 52, which provides resistance to attempted extraction of the point from the ground. - A
hook 53 may be provided near the point of the spade to increase resistance to extraction. - The surface of the spade is moreover equipped with openings which facilitate packing of the spade in the ground where it is fixed.
- With this shape point, the marker can thus be placed in operation simply by tapping it into the ground, with no need for digging a hole first, therefore reducing installation costs.
- The marker according to the invention conforms to article 92 of the Italian Highway Code.
- Preferably in the embodiments shown, the reflector support is a cylindrical section since in this way the supported reflector in lesse eposed to splashes of water and mud which may strike the support. Therefore, the present invention allows realization of a relatively low cost, long- lasting marker which maintains its operational position even when disturbed and which, even if it does not return to its exact initial position after a collision, may be fixed manually with great facility. Furthermore, the material exposed to the elements may be selected so as to be long-lasting, while the more sensitive parts remain protected.
- The portions of the support may be selected as desired, so that the same joint may be used for reflectors applicable to walls, guard-rails, bridge parapets and the like.
