Definitions

  • the present invention relates to road markings in the shape of mutually spaced ribs arranged substantially across the direction of the road. These ribs consist of a plastic material and are mixed with and especially on the surface provided with glass beads so that the markings shall reflect light and to be clearly visible in darkness.
  • Road edges markings in the shape of ribs that extend across the longitudinal direction of the road are known since some decade ago. These ribs have a length of about 6-8 cm and they are spaced from each other by approximately 10-12 cm and they have themselves a width of about 3 cm. They have a maximal height of 4 mm and they are produced by a thermoplastic material with mixed and/or on the surface arranged glass beads. Besides the fact that the road edge markings are fairly well visible they also bring about a humming noise if a car comes too far out on the edge and drives on the ribs. The road edge is consequently marked in a good way.
  • these ribs are at the inner side provided with a longitudinal strip in the direction of the road by the same material as the one in the ribs.
  • the reason that this strip has been arranged by the ribs is that when a snow-plough which moves forward on the road it will be lifted up the strip adjacent to the ribs so that the ribs are not damaged. If the strips were not there the ribs could easily be damaged or completely scraped of by the snow-plough.
  • a marker strip provided with grooves, is known from US 4 575 278 A.
  • the above problem has been solved by bringing about a road-marking comprising mutually shaped ribs arranged substantially across the direction of the road which is characterized in that the ribs for preventing abrading by a snow-plough and allowing free water-passage between them form an angle in relation to the longitudinal direction of the road of 25-65°.
  • the angle is the one that is formed between the longitudinal direction of the road and the distal side of the rib seen in the driving direction of the road.
  • the angle is the one that is formed between the longitudinal direction of the road and the front side of the rib seen in the driving direction of the road.
  • the ribs should according to the invention have a length of 10-50 cm and a distance from each other of 1-6 cm, preferably 3 cm.
  • the ribs are made of a plastic material and comprise glass beads, at least on the surface.
  • the ribs should according to the invention have a width of approximately 3 cm and a height of maximal 4 mm whereas the material which has a shape similar to cones between the ribs should have a maximal thickness of about 0,5-10 mm.
  • FIGURE DESCRIPTION
  • Figure 1 shows the present road-edge marking having ribs 1 and a protecting strip 2 at that side of the ribs 1 which faces inwards to the road.
  • the direction of traffic on the road is shown by the arrow. Since the road is cambered water 3 will be collected towards the protecting strip 2 and finally flow over said strip and flow off between the ribs 1. Thereby the ribs 1 will be partly drowned in water and the light which is intended to be reflected from the ribs 1 will be strongly weakened.
  • Figure 2 shows the ribs 1 according to the present invention which ribs are obliquely arranged in relation to the longitudinal direction of the road with an angle ⁇ which can be between 25 and 65° preferably about 42°.
  • ⁇ which can be between 25 and 65° preferably about 42°.
  • the ribs 1 will overlap each other in the cross-direction of the road so that when a snow-plough is moved forward in the direction of the travel it will rest on at least two ribs 1 whereby abrading of the ribs will be prevented.
  • the water which streams towards the road-edge will, as appears from the small arrows, flow out between the ribs 1.
  • the figure 3 shows the same direction on the ribs 1 as in figure 2 but there an intermediate material has been arranged between the ribs 1.
  • This material which has a shape comparable to cones, comprises preferably reflecting glass beads 4 which also are present on the surface of the ribs 1.
  • the angle ⁇ in figure 2 may also be the angle between the front side of the ribs 1 and the road whereby the ribs thereby will be turned to the right in the figure.
