The device forming the subject Amatter of -this application is a rubbersign intended to be used on the surface of ayhighwa in connection with traltlc signals, the liexibility of the sign permitting it to bend 'Whenstruck accidentally, to the end that the vehicle striking the sign may suffer no damage, and to the end that the sign itself may not be broken. -One object of the` invention is so l0 lto mount the` sign that it will bend under impact, without cracking or tearing. at the place where it bends; and another object of the invention is to provide novel means for anchoring the sign in the highway. l5' It is within the province of the disclosure ,to improve generally andto enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the invention appertains.
With the above and other objects in .View
ceeds, the invention resides in the combina tion and arrangementof parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood. .that changes in the prec-se embodiment ot' the invention herein disclosed, may lbe made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the inven.
tion. 3o In thedrawings'z'- structed in accordance with the invention;
Figure 2 is a top plan;` I Figure 3 is an end elevation; Figure 4 is a, cross cut` onthe line 4-4 of `Figure 1, with the pavement andthe anchoring material as'added details? I e The body 1 o'f the sign is in the form of a plate of-hard rubber which is flexible enough The lower part 2 of the plate 1 is ,parallell l sided, but the upperpart 3 of the plate' is tapered in width toward. its upper edge, to enhance its iexibility. The upper lcorners 4 of the plate 1 are rounded off .to `,save the plate from damage. The lower'part 2 'of the plate .1 is mounted ina base made up of two blocks 5 of Acushion 'stock rubber vul- I .canized or Secured otherwise to opposite sides of the lower part of the plate 1. The
.blocks 5 fare softer and more flexiblethan the late 1, and, consequently, the plate 1 can bent back and forthin the direction which will appear as the description pro-V proaching Figure 1 shows in elevation, adevice con* sothat it can be bent rand twisted repeatedly.
of the arrows A in Figure 4, without'caus-v ing the plate to crack where it .bends (at .11)
at the'upper edges of the blocks, 5. lThe plate 1 carries any kind of an inscription v10,
the word Stop being 'merely indicative of any desired marking. -Arecess 7 is'formed in the highway 8 and the lower part 2 of the plate, along with the base blocks 5, is placed in the recess, and then a quantity ot' anchoring material 9, which ma y be asphalt, 1s poured into the recess 7 on each side of the base of the sign. The anchoring material 9 coalesces, as shown at12,. through staggered openings 6 in the blocks 5 and in p the lower part 2 of the plate 1,- and this afords a very good 4anchorage for the article.
The body 1 and\the base 5-5'of course are not on y flexible, but resilient, as well, so that they will resume the normal position and shape'attributed to theml in the drawings, after they have been bent or dis torted, by impact or otherwise.
The letters which form theinscription 'shown at l0 preferably are made of a phosphorous compound mingled with carborun- .2. A'sign constructed in,ac,cordance with claim 1 and vfurtherl characterized by the factthat the plate tapers in thickness from -the base toward the upper edge of the plate,
thereby to enhance the resiliency ot' thc'v sign'constructed in accordance with claim 1 and further characterized the fact-that the base and the part of the plate that is therein are supplied with anchoragev openings. f
In testimony that I, claim thev Jiorcgo'ing as my own, I have hereto aitlxed my signature.
