Fahrbahnmarkierungen gehören heute zu den unabdingbaren Voraussetzungen eines geordneten und sicheren Verkehrsablaufes, insbesondere eines Strassenverkehrs-Ablaufes. Hiermit werden dem Verkehrsteilnehmer wichtige Informationen über die Fahrbahnrichtung und Grenzen vermittelt. An diese Fahrbahnmarkierungen werden hinsichtlich der Erkennbarkeit bei den unterschiedlichen Licht- und Wetterverhältnissen sowie der Lebensdauer erhebliche Anforderungen gestellt. Zur Verbesserung der Sichtweiten, insbesondere aber unter Berücksichtigung difuser Lichtverhältnisse und/oder bei Nässe, sind die Markierungen mit Glasperlen versehen.Road markings are one of the essential prerequisites for an orderly and safe traffic flow, in particular a road traffic flow. This provides the road user with important information about the direction and limits of the road. Considerable requirements are placed on these road markings with regard to their recognizability in the different light and weather conditions and the service life. The markings are provided with glass beads to improve the visibility, but especially taking into account diffuse lighting conditions and / or when wet.

Bei den bekannten Markierungen bildet sich bereits bei einem relativ dünnen Wasserfilm eine die Retroreflexion erheblich beeinträchtigende, spiegelnde Oberfläche.In the case of the known markings, a reflective surface which significantly affects retroreflection is formed even with a relatively thin water film.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Behälter zum Auftragen der Kaltplastikmasse zu schaffen, mit welchem auf einfache Weise eine mit entsprechend kanalartigen Drainagen versehene Fahrbahnmarkierung unabhängig von der Breite und Länge wirtschaftlich hergestellt werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide a container for applying the cold plastic mass, with which a road marking provided with corresponding channel-like drainages can be produced economically regardless of the width and length.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass der Behälter oder eine entsprechend ausgebildete Bodenplatte des Behälters mit einer auf die Breite der herzustellenden Fahrbahnmarkierung abgestimmten und im wesentlichen quer zur Transportrichtung orientierten Anzahl im Abstand zueinander angeordneter Löcher versehen ist.According to the invention, the object is achieved in that the container or a correspondingly designed base plate of the container is provided with a number of holes spaced apart from one another which is adapted to the width of the road marking to be produced and is oriented essentially transversely to the transport direction.

In Fig.1 ist als bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel eine in perspektivischer Seitenansicht dargestellte Einrichtung 100 zur Herstellung von Fahrbahnmarkierungen dargestellt. Die Einrichtung 100 umfasst im wesentlichen einen teilweise dargestellten Fahrgestell-Rahmen 10 mit daran angeordneten Achsen, einen entsprechend angeordneten Aufbau 15 mit Sitz 16 für eine Bedienungs-Person (Fahrer) sowie ein Gehäuse 17 für ein nicht dargestelltes Antriebs-Aggregat.
   Auf dem Gehäuse 17 ist ein teilweise dargestellter Behälter 18 zur Aufnahme von Glasperlen angeordnet. An dem Behälter 18 ist in nicht näher dargestellter Weise eine Leitung 19 angeschlossen, welche mit dem anderen Ende an ein pistolenartig ausgebildetes Gebläseorgan 20 angeschlossen ist. Die mit nicht dargestellten Mitteln aus dem Behälter 17 geförderten Glasperlen werden über die Leitung 19 in Pfeilrichtung 22 dem mit einer Düse 21 versehenes Gebläseorgan 20 zugeführt und von diesem mit entsprechendem Luftdruck auf die in Fig.1 als Teilstück dargestellte Fahrbahnmarkierung 1 geschossen.
   Im vorderen Bereich der mobilen Einrichtung 100 erkennt man die eine, vordere Achse 11 sowie ein entsprechend daran gelagertes Rad 12, wobei das andere, an der Achse 11 gelagerte Rad nicht dargestellt ist. Die an der Achse 11 angeordneten Räder sind in nicht näher dargestellter Weise über ein entsprechend damit in Wirkverbindung stehendes Lenkrad 13 lenkbar.In FIG. 1, a device 100 for producing road markings is shown in a perspective side view as a preferred exemplary embodiment. The device 100 essentially comprises a partially illustrated chassis frame 10 with axles arranged thereon, a correspondingly arranged structure 15 with a seat 16 for an operator (driver) and a housing 17 for a drive unit (not shown).
A partially illustrated container 18 for receiving glass beads is arranged on the housing 17. A line 19 is connected to the container 18 in a manner not shown, which is connected at the other end to a blower element 20 designed like a pistol. The glass beads conveyed from the container 17 with means not shown are fed via the line 19 in the direction of arrow 22 to the blower element 20 provided with a nozzle 21 and are shot by the latter with the appropriate air pressure onto the road marking 1 shown in FIG.
In the front area of the mobile device 100 one can see the one, front axle 11 and a correspondingly mounted wheel 12, the other wheel mounted on the axle 11 not being shown. The wheels arranged on the axle 11 can be steered in a manner not shown in greater detail by means of a steering wheel 13 which is operatively connected to it.

Weiterhin erkennt man im vorderen Bereich der Einrichtung 100 einen mit mindestens einem Auslaufstutzen 26 oder 26' versehenen Behälter 25 zur Aufnahme einer Kaltplastikmasse. Dem ersten Behälter 25 ist ein zweiter Behälter 27 zur Aufnahme eines Härtemittels zugeordnet, von welchem über eine nicht dargestellte Dosiervorrichtung das Härtemittel in den ersten Behälter 25 eingebracht wird. Die Zuführung des Härtemittels erfolgt unmittelbar vor dem Austritt der im wesentlichen fliessfähigen Kaltplastikmasse aus dem Behälter 25, so dass eine optimale Vermischung des Härtemittels mit der Kaltplastikmasse gewährleistet ist.Furthermore, one can see in the front area of the device 100 a container 25 provided with at least one outlet connection 26 or 26 'for receiving a cold plastic mass. The first container 25 is a second container 27 for receiving assigned a hardening agent, from which the hardening agent is introduced into the first container 25 via a metering device (not shown). The hardening agent is supplied immediately before the essentially flowable cold plastic compound exits from the container 25, so that an optimal mixing of the hardening agent with the cold plastic compound is ensured.

Wie in Fig.1 weiterhin dargestellt, ist seitlich an dem Fahrzeug-Rahmen 10 ein Tragrahmen 35 angeordnet und mit nicht dargestellten Mitteln befestigt. Der Tragrahmen 35 umfasst im wesentlichen in parallelen Abständen zueinander angeordnete Träger 36,36' und 37,37' und ist zur Aufnahme einer zum Auftragen der Kaltplastikmasse ausgebildeten Vorrichtung 75 ausgebildet. Die Vorrichtung 75 umfasst im wesentlichen einen dem Auslaufstutzen 26 entsprechend zugeordneten Behälter 40, an welchem bodenseitig eine relativ zum Behälter 40 verschiebbare Verschlussplatte 60 zugeordnet ist. Dem Behälter 40 ist ein Rührwerk 30 angeordnet, welches von einem damit in Wirkverbindung stehenden Antriebsorgan, beispielsweise von einer entsprechend ausgebildeten Bohrmaschine 31 oder dergleichen rotierend angetrieben wird. Das beispielsweise am Fahrzeug-Rahmen 10 angeordnete und befestigte Antriebsorgan 31 ist mit nicht näher dargestellten Mitteln in den Hohlraum 40' des Behälters 40 absenk- und wieder herausziehbar.As further shown in Figure 1, a support frame 35 is arranged on the side of the vehicle frame 10 and fastened by means not shown. The support frame 35 essentially comprises supports 36, 36 'and 37, 37' arranged at mutually parallel distances and is designed to receive a device 75 designed to apply the cold plastic compound. The device 75 essentially comprises a container 40 corresponding to the outlet connection 26, to which a closure plate 60 which is displaceable relative to the container 40 is assigned on the bottom side. Arranged in the container 40 is an agitator 30 which is driven in rotation by a drive element which is operatively connected to it, for example by a correspondingly designed drilling machine 31 or the like. The drive member 31, which is arranged and fastened, for example, on the vehicle frame 10, can be lowered and pulled out again into the cavity 40 'of the container 40 by means not shown in detail.

Bei einem nicht dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel kann die im wesentlichen den Behälter 40, das Rührwerk 30 und die Bohrmaschine 31 umfassende Vorrichtung 75 auch dem zwischen den beiden nicht näher bezeichneten Längsträgern des Fahrzeug-Rahmens 10 angeordneten Auslaufstutzen 26'zugeordnet werden.In an exemplary embodiment not shown, the device 75, which essentially comprises the container 40, the agitator 30 and the drilling machine 31, can also be assigned to the outlet connection 26 ′ arranged between the two longitudinal beams of the vehicle frame 10, which are not described in any more detail.

In Fig.2 ist als Sprengzeichnung und in perspektivischer Seitenansicht die Vorrichtung 75 zum Aufbringen der Kaltplastikmasse dargestellt, welche im wesentlichen das um eine nicht dargestellte Achse in Pfeilrichtung R rotierend angetriebene Rührwerk 30, den Behälter 40 mit angeformtem Bodenteil 50 sowie die Verschlussplatte 60 umfasst.
   Das mit nicht dargestellten Mitteln in Pfeilrichtung Z in den Behälter 40 eintauchbare und in Pfeilrichtung Z' wieder herausziehbare Rührwerk 30 umfasst eine mit der Bohrmaschine 31 in Wirkverbindung stehende Welle 32 sowie mehrere im unteren Bereich der Welle 32 angeordnete und befestigte Rührblätter 33. Die Rührblätter 33 sind in axialer Richtung sowie am Umfang der Welle 32 versetzt zueinander angeordnet. Die einzelnen Rührblätter 33 sind zur Stabilisierung weiterhin durch einen daran befestigten, spiralartig nach oben gewundenen Draht 34 oder dergleichen miteinander verbunden.
   Die einzelnen, wendelartig an der Welle 32 angeordneten Rührblätter 33 sind derart ausgebildet, dass bei der Rotationsbewegung des Rührwerks 30 ein ausreichender Druck auf die von dem Stutzen 26 in den Behälter 40 geleitete Kaltplastikmasse ausgeübt und somit ein optimaler Austritt aus dem Behälter 40 gewährleistet wird.
   An dem Behälter 40 sind beispielsweise zwei korrespondierend zueinander angeordnete Tragelemente 41 und 42 befestigt, welche durch entsprechende Streben 41',42' an der Behälterwand 40'' abgestützt sind. Weiterhin erkennt man einen am Behälter 40 befestigten Tragrahmen 45 mit im Abstand zueinander angeordneten Führungsschienen 43 und 44, welche im vorderen Bereich durch einen Träger 46 miteinander verbunden sowie durch entsprechende Streben 43',44' an der Behälter-Seitenwand 40'' abgestützt sind. In den beiden Führungsschienen 43 und 44 ist die Verschlussplatte 60 in Pfeilrichtung X' verschiebbar angeordnet.
   Der Behälter 40 umfasst im wesentlichen, wie in Fig.4 dargestellt, ein oberes Behälterteilstück 50' sowie ein unteres, in der Gesamtheit mit 50 bezeichnetes Behälterteilstück. Das obere Behälterteilstück 50' besteht im wesentlichen aus der leicht konisch ausgebildeten Behälterwand 40''. Das untere Behälterteilstück 50 hat eine Bodenplatte 48, zwei Seitenwände 47,47' sowie eine Vorderwand 49 und eine Rückwand 49'. Die schräg nach oben orientierten Wandteilstücke 47,47' und 49, 49' sind einerseits an der Bodenplatte 48 und andererseits an der im wesentlichen kreisringförmigen Behälterwand 40'' angeformt.In FIG. 2, the device 75 for applying the cold plastic compound is shown as an exploded drawing and in a perspective side view, which essentially drives the one rotating in the direction of the arrow R about an axis (not shown) Agitator 30, the container 40 with integrally formed bottom part 50 and the closure plate 60 comprises.
The agitator 30 which can be immersed in the direction of the arrow Z in the direction of the arrow Z and pulled out again in the direction of the arrow Z 'comprises a shaft 32 which is operatively connected to the drill 31 and a plurality of stirring blades 33 arranged and fastened in the lower region of the shaft 32. The stirring blades 33 are arranged offset to one another in the axial direction and on the circumference of the shaft 32. The individual stirring blades 33 are further connected to each other for stabilization by an attached spiral wire 34 or the like which is wound upward.
The individual stirring blades 33 arranged helically on the shaft 32 are designed in such a way that when the agitator 30 rotates, sufficient pressure is exerted on the cold plastic compound guided into the container 40 by the connecting piece 26, and thus an optimal exit from the container 40 is ensured.
For example, two correspondingly arranged support elements 41 and 42 are fastened to the container 40 and are supported on the container wall 40 ″ by corresponding struts 41 ′, 42 ′. Furthermore, one can see a support frame 45 fastened to the container 40 with guide rails 43 and 44 arranged at a distance from one another, which are connected to one another in the front region by a carrier 46 and are supported on the container side wall 40 ″ by corresponding struts 43 ′, 44 ′. In the two guide rails 43 and 44, the closure plate 60 is arranged to be displaceable in the direction of the arrow X '.
The container 40 essentially comprises, as shown in FIG. 4, an upper container section 50 'and a lower container section, designated as a whole by 50. The upper container section 50 'essentially consists of the slightly conical container wall 40''. The lower container section 50 has a base plate 48, two side walls 47, 47 'and a front wall 49 and a rear wall 49'. The Wall sections 47, 47 'and 49, 49' oriented obliquely upwards are formed on the one hand on the base plate 48 and on the other hand on the essentially circular container wall 40 ''.

Fig.5 zeigt in Ansicht das untere Behälterteilstück 50 des Behälters 40 und man erkennt die Bodenplatte 48 mit den daran angeformten und schräg nach oben gerichteten Wandteilstücken 47,47' und 49,49'. Weiterhin erkennt man den seitlich am Behälter 40 angeordneten Tragrahmen 45 für die entsprechend darin in Pfeilrichtung X' verschiebbar geführte Verschlussplatte 60.5 shows a view of the lower container section 50 of the container 40 and the base plate 48 can be seen with the wall sections 47, 47 'and 49, 49' formed thereon and directed obliquely upwards. Furthermore, one can see the support frame 45 arranged on the side of the container 40 for the closure plate 60 which is correspondingly guided therein in the direction of the arrow X '.

Der Behälter kann in Draufsicht im Profilquerschnitt beliebig, beispielsweise vier- oder mehreckig ausgebildet sein, wobei der innere Profilquerschnitt vorzugsweise rund ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch werden aushärtende Materialanhäufungen in den Eckbereichen vermieden. Eine bevorzugte Ausbildung des Behälters ist in den Figuren 2 und 4 bis 6 dargestellt.In plan view, the container can have any desired profile cross section, for example four or polygonal, the inner profile cross section preferably being round. This avoids hardening material accumulations in the corner areas. A preferred embodiment of the container is shown in Figures 2 and 4 to 6.

In Fig.6 ist der Behälter 40 in Draufsicht dargestellt und man erkennt den Tragrahmen 45 mit der in der geöffneten Stellung dargestellten Verschlussplatte 60 und den seitlich am Behälter 40 angeordneten Tragelementen 41,42. Weiterhin erkennt man in Fig.6 die mit einer ersten Reihe 51 mit Löcher oder Bohrungen 51' sowie mit einer zweiten Reihe 52 mit Löcher oder Bohrungen 52' versehene Bodenplatte 48.
   Die erste Lochreihe 51 hat beispielsweise neun in gleichmässigem Abstand zueinander angeordnete Bohrungen 51' und die zweite Lochreihe 52 umfasst acht in gleichmässigem Abstand zueinander angeordnete Bohrungen 52', wobei die Bohrungen 52' der zweiten Lochreihe 52 versetzt zu den Bohrungen 51' der ersten Lochreihe 51 angeordnet sind.The container 40 is shown in a top view in FIG. 6 and the support frame 45 can be seen with the closure plate 60 shown in the open position and the support elements 41, 42 arranged laterally on the container 40. 6 also shows the base plate 48 provided with a first row 51 with holes or bores 51 'and with a second row 52 with holes or bores 52'.
The first row of holes 51 has, for example, nine holes 51 'arranged at a uniform distance from one another and the second row of holes 52 comprises eight holes 52' arranged at a uniform distance from one another, the holes 52 'of the second row of holes 52 being offset from the holes 51' of the first row of holes 51 are arranged.

Die beiden in der Bodenplatte 48 vorgesehenen Lochreihen 51 und 52 sind quer zur Transportrichtung X der Einrichtung 100 angeordnet, wobei durch die beliebige Anzahl der ersten Lochreihe 51 im wesentlichen die Breite der streifenartigen Fahrbahnmarkierung 1 gegeben ist. Die zweite Lochreihe ist entsprechend angepasst.The two rows of holes 51 and 52 provided in the base plate 48 are transverse to the transport direction X of the device 100 arranged, the width of the strip-like lane marking 1 being essentially given by the arbitrary number of the first row of holes 51. The second row of holes is adjusted accordingly.

Bei einer nicht dargestellten Variante besteht die Möglichkeit, in der Bodenplatte 48 eine entsprechende Ausnehmung vorzusehen, in welche eine mit entsprechenden Lochreihen versehene Platte auswechselbar eingesetzt werden kann. Durch die Auswechselbarkeit der entsprechend gelochten Platten besteht die Möglichkeit, unter Verwendung eines einzigen Behälters 40 ohne besonderen Aufwand unterschiedlich breite Fahrbahnmarkierungen herzustellen.In a variant not shown, it is possible to provide a corresponding recess in the base plate 48, into which a plate provided with corresponding rows of holes can be exchangeably inserted. The interchangeability of the correspondingly perforated plates makes it possible to produce roadway markings of different widths using a single container 40 without any particular effort.

Die beiden Lochreihen 51 und 52 mit den versetzt zueinander angeordneten Löchern 51',52' gewährleisten beim Austritt der Kaltplastikmasse die Bildung der Fahrbahnmarkierung 1 mit unterschiedlich ausgebildeten Wulsten und kanalartig ausgebildeten Drainagen.The two rows of holes 51 and 52 with the holes 51 ', 52' arranged offset to one another ensure the formation of the road marking 1 with differently shaped beads and channel-like drainages when the cold plastic compound emerges.

Fig.3 zeigt einen in Draufsicht und etwa im Massstab 1:1 dargestellten Ausschnitt der mittels der Vorrichtung 75 entsprechend strukturiert und profiliert hergestellten Fahrbahnmarkierung 1 und man erkennt unregelmässig und in Abständen zueinander aufgebrachte Wulststreifen 2 sowie dazwischenliegende und kanalartig ausgebildete Drainagen 3, durch welche ein seitliches Abfliessen des Wassers gewährleistet wird.
   Die spezielle Ausbildung, d.h., die Länge und Dicke der Wulststreifen 2 ist abhängig von der in Pfeilrichtung X orientierten Fahrgeschwindigkeit der Einrichtung 100 und von der Drehzahl des Rührwerks 30 sowie von der Ausbildung der Löcher 51' und 52'. Die einzelnen Löcher 51' und 52' sind vorzugsweise Bohrungen mit in der Grössenordnung von 5mm bis 8mm liegendem Durchmesser.3 shows a section of the road marking 1, which is correspondingly structured and profiled by means of the device 75, and is shown in plan view and approximately on a scale of 1: 1 and one recognizes irregularly and at intervals spaced bead strips 2 as well as intermediate and channel-like drainages 3 through which a lateral drainage of the water is guaranteed.
The special design, ie the length and thickness of the bead strips 2 is dependent on the driving speed of the device 100 oriented in the direction of the arrow X and on the speed of the agitator 30 and on the design of the holes 51 'and 52'. The individual holes 51 'and 52' are preferably bores with a diameter of the order of 5 mm to 8 mm.
