The invention aims to provide anexcep tionally simple and inexpensive, yet a desirable and attractive streetmarker which may be easily positioned and anchored upon a street-bordering curb or at or near the line usually occupied by a curb. v 7
With the foregoing in view, the invention resides in the novel subject matter herein after described and claimed, description being accomplished by reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a'perspective view'of the marker showing the curb in dotted lines. 7
Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional View through rial retained by said curb, and a portion of the street.
Fig. 3 1s a transverse sect1onal view show ing another manner of using the marker.
' gral, laterally projecting, longitudinal anall The preferred details of construction are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and while these details will be specifically explained, it is to be understood that within the scope of the invention as claimed, minor variations may be made. 1
The numeral 5 denotes a horizontally -elongated block formed from concrete, metal or other desired material, said block having a. flat lower side 6 adapted to rest upon a curb '7. At one longitudinal edge, the block 5 is provided with an integral, downwardly projecting, longitudinal flange 8, constituting an anchor. One vertical longitudinal side 9 of this flange is flatand is'adapted to abut the inner side of the curb 7. The other vertical longitudinal side 10016 the flange 8 is also flat, and this side is provided with an inte choring'rib 11, said rib being disposed at the lower edge of said flange.
Above the flat lower" side 6, the obverse and reverse sides 12 and 13 of the block 5, preferably converge upwardly, and one or both of these sides, may carry a sign 14 giving the name of a street, the letters or numbers embodied in the sign being preferablyv raised and formed integrally with the block. The upper longitudinal edge 15 of the block is preferably flat and horizontally disposed.-

mar-b, it'is simply necessaryto dig out some of the earth E or other material retained by the curb, for reception of the anchoring flange 8. The device is then so positioned that its surfacesfi and 9 snugly rest against the curb T, and some of. the removed earth or other material E is then solidly replaced, embedding the flange 8 and insuring efi'ecti've anchorage of the device. When so anchored,
the street name is very conspicuously displayed, the inclination of the outer'side 121;:
of the. block 5 serving not only to dispose said name in a plane-at substantially right angles to the line of V1S10l'l whenglancing do'wnwardly,but also giving suflicient clearance to prevent wheel hubs from striking the parking or travelmg near the v While the invention is intendedprimarily for mounting on a curb as above described,
it may merely rest upon the ground with the flange 8 embedded in the latter, asyillus 'trated in Fig. 3.
- I claim 1. A marker elongated'sign-beaiing block having. a-fiat lower sideadapted to rest upon arcurb, one
comprising a horizontally longitudinal edge of said block being pro.-
vided with an integral downwardly projecting longitudinalflange adapted to be embedded in the materialretained by the curb, said flange being flat at one vertical longitudinal side to abut the curb and being pro-vided on its other verticallongitudinal side'with an integral laterally projecting anchoring rib, said rib extending longitudinally of said flange at thelower edge of the latter. V
2. A structure asspecified in claim 1; the obverse and reverse longitudinal sides of said block being fiat and disposed in upwardly converging relation above said flat lower side.
In testimony whereof Iafiix my signature.
