Shaped block for separating the traffic routes of different road users, with a first and a second longitudinal side, two transverse sides arranged at the ends in a longitudinal direction, and a usable surface arranged between the longitudinal and transverse sides above a zero level, wherein the shaped block, at least in sections, has a cross-sectional profile which runs crosswise to the longitudinal sides above the zero level, with an asymmetrical height progression of the usable surface, and which at the first longitudinal side, starting at the zero level, runs approximately in the shape of a quarter-circle with a first radius, in the direction of the second longitudinal side, around a first centre of curvature lying at the zero level, wherein the cross-sectional profile at the second longitudinal side runs from the zero level to a set height perpendicular to it, and then runs, approximately in the shape of a quarter-circle with a second radius, in the direction of the first longitudinal side, around a second centre of curvature that is arranged at the set height above the zero level between the longitudinal sides, wherein the second radius is greater than the first radius, and wherein the cross-sectional profile runs between the approximately quarter-circular progressions, connecting them, in a straight line at an angle of inclination to the zero level.

Description

Shaped block for separating traffic routes of different road users The invention relates to a shaped block for separating the traffic routes of different road users, in particular to separate a cycle path from a roadway for motor vehicles, and a separation between the traffic routes of different road users, in particular a separation between a cycle path and a roadway for motor vehicles, that is formed with such shaped blocks.
In practice, different shaped blocks are known for marking a separation between lanes to be used by different road users, e.g. for separating cycle paths and footpaths, or cycle paths and roadways for motor vehicles, In the case of familiar shaped blocks, however, often relatively sharp edges and/or relatively steeply ascending elevations are provided, sometimes in combination with longitudinal grooves or other raised markings which represent a significant falling hazard, especially for cyclists.
The object of the invention consists in providing a shaped block of the generic kind and a separation to be constructed with it, which on the one hand is clearly perceived by a motorist upon contact, but which on the other hand does not entail any significant danger of falling for a cyclist. According to the invention, this object is achieved by a shaped block for separating the traffic routes of different road users, in particular to separate a cycle path from a roadway for motor vehicles, with a first and a second longitudinal side, two transverse sides arranged at the ends in a longitudinal direction, and a usable surface arranged between the longitudinal and transverse sides above a zero level, wherein the shaped block, at least in sections, has a cross-sectional profile which runs crosswise to the longitudinal sides above the zero level, with an asymmetrical height progression of the usable surface, and which at the first longitudinal side, starting at the zero level, runs approximately in the shape of a quarter-circle with a first radius in the direction of the second fongitudinal side, around a first centre of curvature lying at the zero level, wherein the cross-sectional profile at the second longitudinal side runs from the zero level to a set height perpendicular to it, and then runs approximately in the shape of a quarter-circle with a second radius, in the direction of the first longitudinal side, around a second centre of curvature that is arranged at the set height above the plane of reference between the longitudinal sides, wherein the second radius is greater than the first radius, and wherein the cross-sectional profile runs between the quarter-circular cross-sectional progressions, following on from these preferably seamlessly and connecting them, in a straight line at an angle of inclination to the zero level.
Although the shaped block could be designed to be partially hollow above the plane of reference, or to a certain extent in the form of a shell, the shaped block is usually produced as a solid block and furthermore usually extends below the zero level, so that a base portion is provided for laying. The wording of "approximately" the shape of a quarter-circle refers to the fact that that the corresponding areas of the cross-sectional profile do not necessarily extend over exactly 90°, but preferably over slightly less than 90° in the case of the profile section with the first radius, and over a little more than 90° in the case of the profile section with the second radius. in order to allow a seamless transition to the straight profile section located between them, with the respective difference from 90° corresponding to the angle of inclination of the straight profile section. The first radius can be in the range of 5 mm to 30 mm or from 8 mm to 12 mm or 10 mm. The second radius can be in a range from 20 mm to 100 mm or from 30 mm to 50 mm or 40 mm.
The set height can be up to 50 mm, 40 mm, 30 mm, 20 mm or 10 mm. A width between the longitudinal sides may be 200 mm to 400 mm or 250 mm to 350 mm. The angle of inclination at which the straight profile section of the cross-sectional profile runs relative to the zero level can be 5° to 25° or 10° to 20°. A length of the shaped block between the transverse sides can be 200 mm to 600 mm or 245 mm to 505 mm.
The transverse sides can be flat, or they can be provided with profiling, slants or undercuts to allow a favourable connection of shaped blocks that are laid abutting one another in the longitudinal direction. The cross-sectional profile can be rectangular below the zero level, and it can have a flat underside, the distance of which from the zero level can be 20 to 150mm or 70 to 120 mm. In the laid state, the shaped block preferably separates a cycle path surface, which preferably runs at the height of the zero level but alternatively can run above or below it, from a roadway surface which preferably runs at the height of the zero level but alternatively can run above or below it.
In order to facilitate precise laying, it can be envisaged that the shaped block is equipped on a first transverse side with a fitting projection and on a second transverse side with a fitting recess complementary to the fitting projection. Thus, in the laid state, the fitting projection of a shaped block engages into a fitting recess of an adjacent shaped block and vice versa, so that a row of shaped blocks laid adjacent to one another lies with their ends neatly against one another in each case, without any unwanted lateral offset arising during laying or subsequent use.
The fitting projection can be designed in the form of a conventional tongue and the fitting recess can be designed in the form of a conventional matching groove, which can be oriented in such a way that in the laid state their longitudinal directions are vertically aligned.
The object of the invention is further achieved by a separation between the traffic routes of different road users, in particular between a cycle path and a roadway for motor vehicles, which is formed with shaped blocks according to the invention.
It can be envisaged that the separation has a lowered section to allow cyclists to cross the separation easily. wherein within the lowered section the cross-sectional profile runs at a height of fess than 50%, 30%, 20% or 10% of a maximum height of the shaped block above the cycle path surface, over a length of 1 metre to 4 metres or from 1300 mm to 3200 mm, or at the height of the adjacent cycle path and/ or at the height of the adjacent roadway.
It can be envisaged here that the lowered section has at least one central block with a minimum height above the zero level, and on either side of it a lowering block which forms a gradual transition between the cross-sectional profile of a shaped block according to the invention and the central block.
Several dropped sections, or dropped sections at regular intervals, can be envisaged, wherein the distance between them can be, for example, between 30 metres and 50 metres.
In the case of the shaped block and/or the separation, it can be envisaged that the usable surface adjacent to the first longitudinal side, for example in the area of the quarter-circular section or up to the middle of the straight section, has coloured and/or raised or sunken first markings which can be, for example, raised, rounded or polygonal knobs or recesses or also longitudinal or transverse grooves. There is also the possibility that the usable area adjacent to the second longitudinal side, for example in the area of the quarter-circular section or up to the middle of the straight section,
has coloured and/or raised second markings analogous to the first markings. The first markings can differ from the second markings. The invention is explained below on the basis of an embodiment, wherein reference is made to a drawing in which Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a shaped block according to the invention, Fig. 2 shows a top view, Fig. 3 shows a side view of the first longitudinal side, Fig. 4 shows an end view of a transverse side and the cross-sectional profile, Fig. 5 shows an enlarged representation of the transverse side, Fig. 6 shows a sectional view of a separation, and Fig. 7 shows a top view of the separation with a lowered kerb.
The shaped block 1 shown in Figures 1 to 5 in different views has a first longitudinal side 2 and a second longitudinal side 4, the mutual distance between which determines a width B of the shaped block, which is e.g. 250 mm. A length L of the shaped block between transverse sides 6 arranged at the ends and running crosswise to a longitudinal direction is e.g. 495 mm.
Extending between the longitudinal sides 2, 4, above a zero level 8, is a usable surface 10 of the shaped block 1. The usable surface 10 follows on from a cross-sectional profile 12 which runs crosswise to the longitadinal sides, above the zero level 10 [sic] and which, in the area of the longitudinal sides, is designed in the shape of a quarter-circle, and between them it is designed to run in a straight line and at an angle of inclination angle in relation to the zero level.
With reference to Figure 5, the cross-sectional profile begins at the first longitudinal side 2 at the height of the zero level 8 and runs in the shape of a quarter-circle in the direction of the second longitudinal side 4, around a first centre of a circle or centre of curvature 14 with a first radius 1, which is 10 mm in the illustrated embodiment. The first centre of curvature 14 lies at the zero level 8 at a distance from the first longitudinal side 2 corresponding to the radius r.
In the area of the second longitudinal side 4, the cross-sectional profile 12 initially runs from the zero level 8, perpendicular to it, to a fixed height h, which in the illustrated embodiment is 10 mm, and then passes into a quarter-circular course in the direction of the first longitudinal side 2 with a 5 second radius R, which here is 40 mm, around a centre of a circle or centre of curvature 16, which lies at the set height above the zero level 8 and at a distance from the second longitudinal side 4 corresponding to the second radius R.
The two quarter-circular sections of the cross-sectional profile 12 are connected by an inclined straight section 18, which preferably seamlessly adjoins the two quarter-circular or almost quarter- circular sections which extend over slightly more or less than 90°, connecting them.
Fig. 6 shows a schematic sectional view of a separation 24 and thus of a shaped block 1 in the state of use or in the installed state, wherein on the left in the illustration, a roadway 20 for motor vehicles adjoins the second longitudinal side 4, and on the right a cycle path 22 adjoins the first longitudinal side 2. The surface of the roadway 20 and the surface of the cycle path 22 lie at the zero level 8. Below the zero level 8 or the respective roadway surfaces lies an unrepresented base or installation section of the shaped block, such as follows, by way of an example, from the sectional illustration according to Fig. 4, with a rectangular cross-section below the zero level 8. The cycle path 22 can be separated by a kerb 30 from a footpath 32 or similar.
Fig. 7 shows a top view onto the separation 24, which has (at least) one central block 26, the top of which preferably runs at the same height as the surface of the cycle path 22, in other words at the zero level 8 of the shaped blocks 1, or slightly above.
Laid on either side adjacent to the at least one central block 26 is, in each case, a right- or left-lowering stone 28, which has a cross-sectional profile that changes in the longitudinal direction, to form a gradual or smooth transition from the cross-sectional profile 12 of the shaped blocks 1 to the central block(s) 26.
