ATTO RNEY WILLIAM A. i-invns, or WIGHITA, KANSAS, assrenoa; YMEsnE Assrenranntrs, T
TION OF KANSAS STOP SIGN Application filed August-14, 1926; Serial No. 129,113.
This invention relates to the 'general class of signals, but particularly to stop-sign sig lnals, that is to signals which will indicate to drivers of Vehicles that a stop or retardal; tion of speed mustbe made a road or street intersection. V v
Stop lines are ordinarily indicated by a I painted line on. thepavementof'the street.
Traffic soon obliterates this line so it becomes necessary to. frequently repaint it.
My invention consists of a flexible sign or, panel-indicating caution orthat a stop should be made at the intersection of the street orroad. The sign consists of a base adapted to, be embedded in the ground, the base carrying a panel which has aninherent flexibility of such nature-thatit will tend to this protects the legend whenl the wheelsqof the vehicle run overithesignaland it further has the advantage that the letters canfbe easilyrepainted should occasion demand.
" The invention will bebetter understood.
I by reference tothe following description {in i connection with the accompanying drawings inwhichzb W r r [sign constructed in accordance with my in- The figure is a' perspective View of a stop vention, theinaterial in which the signal is 'embedded being shownin section.
The ,qrade 'line of thestreet is indicated. at 1. There agroove 2 in the street which receives the base 3 of the sign. The base is preferably rectangular and it carries an up- I THE STANDARD TRAFFIC MARKER.COI VIPANY,'OF WICHITA, KANSAS, A GORPORA-q standing. panel at slightly tapered in cross .sectionwith' a bead eat its upperedge, the
thickness of which is substantially equalto thethickness of theaportion 6 of the panel which is carried by .thebase; Thesignis curved at the juncture of the base with the panel 4 as indicated-at 7 and 8 conforming in curvature 1 of the. bend in shoulders ,9 {and will be no tendency tobreak or crack. On the side-Wall of theportions 1lof the groove 2 are bending shoulders 12 and13 making" v d :5 bent over due to'pressure there will be no i. abrupt bend which would tend tocrack it. Thefindicia' indi'catedby, the word Stop theportion 11: flared sothat when-thelsig'n is may be variedbut in each instant I prefer to have the letters 14 sunk below the surface:
of the-sign so that in the event that ajvehicle wheel passes over the panel the letters will not be marred. :As heretofore pointed out the -sin'king' of *the letters has the added advantage thatitheymay be easily repainted, since the edgesfof the sunken letters act as guides for the'brush} Thesign may be made of a single piece as a new article of manufacture of any appropriate lmaterial which has an. inherent flexibility and an. inherent tendency back into shape, but I prefer to use vrubber or rubber and fabrics From the foregoing it will be seen that thev signfcan be easily embedded in the road-[ bed,ybutc'an be of such length and of such height thatany motor vehicle can straddle it r without bending; itoverqbutshould it be bent 'i over it "will immediately spring back into the p to spring I o '55 I 10 so that 'Wllflill sign is bent over there Y position shown inflthe drawing. Since it stands. above the surface of the ground itwill s5 belvisiblefroin' a considerable distance and- I should the vehiclestrike it'no injury will} result to either the sign or the vehicle. 1
What I claim andjdesire to secure by Let-=1 1. As an article of manufacture, a stop sign comprising a substantially rectangular rub- 7 her panel having longitudinal flanges along its lower edge and indicia on the'rnaj or portion of the panel.
2. As an article of manufacture, a stop sign comprising a substantially rectangular rubher panel having a longitudinal integral enlargement along its lower edge so that the lower edge of the panel is enlarged on both sides of the panel. In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
