Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an auxiliary tool for traffic guide posts, particularly traffig guide posts provided with light reflectors.
  • traffic guide posts are positioned along streets and highways, which posts support light reflectors capable of reflecting the light in the dark.
  • Each post consists of a molded shell made of a synthetic material. The posts are driven into the ground along the edge of the road, and are spaced from each other of about 20-30 meters.
  • the plants and the shrubs growing in the ground near the posts are periodically trimmed by means of mowers, to prevent them from hiding the light reflectors.
  • a general traffic guide post 10 consists of a tubular member 12 of a synthetic material having a triangular profile and provided with light reflectors 14 capable of reflecting the light in the dark, which are mounted at the top of the post.
  • Post 10 is intended to be positioned at the edge of a road 16, toghether with other posts of the same type spaced from each other of about 20-30 meters.
  • Post 10 is vertically supported by an auxiliary tool comprising a tube 18 of a synthetic material, such as reclaimed polypropylene or polyethylene.
  • Tube 18 is insertable into a hole 20 which has been previously digged in the ground 22.
  • Tube 18 is open at its upper end to define a mouth 24 for receiving the post inserted therein in a vertical direction, as well as at its lower end 26.
  • Tube 18 has a triangular profile with beveled edges, and is provided with three side walls 18a, 18b, 18c which are sized for matching internally with the outer profile of post 10 in order that the post is received in the tube with a substantially close fit.
  • Mouth 24 is provided with a overhanging lip 28 for sustaining the tube at ground level when inserted in the ground.
  • the lower end 26 of tube 18 is curved inwardly in 26a to define an abutment for the insertion end of the post.
  • Saw-toothed transverse ribs such as 30 are externally formed on the side walls 18a, 18b, 18c for restraining the tube in the ground when the post is pulled out.
  • Longitudinal ribs such as 31 are formed on the inner surface of each of side walls 18a, 18b, 18c, for the scopes that will be clarified below.
  • the height of tube 18 is 1/3 of the height of post 10.
  • tubular support 18 will be 450 mm high.
  • the auxiliary tool also comprises a molded plug 32 of a sinthetyc material, preferably rubber, which is insertable into the upper end of tube 18 in order to close mouth 24 when post 18 is not inserted.
  • Plug 32 has a triangular bottom 34 with rounded corners, as well as a peripheral wall 36 defining a triangular profile which matches externally with the inner profile of tube 18, so that the plug may be slightly forced into mouth 24.
  • a pin 38 rising from bottom 34 may be grasped for removing plug 32 from the tube.
  • hole 20 is digged in the ground, the depth of the hole being substantially equal to the height of the tube.
  • tube 18 is inserted into the hole, and then the ground surrounding the tube is compacted in order to firmly fix the tube in place.
  • post 10 may be inserted into tube 18 through mouth 24.
  • plug 32 is inserted to close mouth 24, in order to prevent stones, sand, and the like, from falling into the tube.
  • Longitudinal ribs 31 have the scope of reducing the contact surface between the post and the tube, so that the post may be inserted without effort even when the ground, e.g. when wet after rain, pushes laterally on the side walls of the tube which, consequently, becomes narrower.
  • tube 18 and plug 32 can be easily manufactured enbloc by molding.
  • tube 118 is profiled to receive traffic guide posts 110 having a flat rectangular profile.
  • the tube has a corresponding flat rectangular profile with two opposite, main side walls 118a, 118b which are sized for matching internally with the outer profile of the post, which is provided with light reflectors 114.
  • the above embodiment is similar to the first one in that the mouth has a overhanging lip 128, the lower end of the tube is curved inwardly in 126a, saw-toothed transverse ribs 130 are externally formed on main walls 118a, 118b, and longitudinal ribs 131 are formed on the inner surface of each of side walls 118a, 118b.
  • the tool of this alternative embodiment also comprises a plug 132 which has a rectangular bottom 134 with an extraction pin 138 rising therefrom, and a peripheral wall 136 which matches with the inner profile of the tube.
