Abstract

Kerb with cylindrical opening (18) made on the front side which extends on the inside all along the length of the kerb is used for connecting the kerb with another kerb by inserting a fastening part on the both ends of the kerb and as an opening where a cable can be inserted. The canal (7) in the bottom part of the kerb which extends along its entire length is used as a drainage for the generated water from precipitation and snow melting on the streets. The elliptical opening (10), which is symmetrical to the vertical axis of the kerb and is set in parallel in relation to the upper edges in used in practice for setting of fluorescent road signs and devices for navigation of autonomous vehicles. The carve (12) on the upper side of the curb serves for placing a module with a solar collector and led panels for road lighting.

Description

KERB

Technical field to which the invention relates

The invention belongs in the category of Construction or more precisely in the area of details during construction of roads and like traffic areas and their gutters, kerbs, under the section of Kerbs and Gutters. In accordance with the international patent classification the invention can be identified with the mark E01 C11/22.

Technical problem which is solved with the invention

This invention solves the problem with street drainage and conducting a greater amount of accumulated water into a separate drainage canal in the kerb. With the possibilit for double-sided setting, the kerb gets a function as a border barrier which can be used at parking spaces too. This^■ invention also solves the problem of setting elements for .lighting of the road and setting panels for signalization and navigation.

State of the art The kerb beside its basic purpose of splitting the road and the sidewalk, has numerous additional functions, for example: disabling parking of motor vehicles on the sidewalks and green surfaces, providing a structural support to the asphalted ends. The kerb also can be used as a drainage canal of the generated precipitation water and the water from the melting of snow in the streets.

The most common way of production of a kerb is published in the European patent 0819197. The part of the kerb which is used for draining the water is actually a canal that is located at the front wall of the kerb and has many openings through which the water enters into the canal. The constructive solution of this kerb does not allow implementation of grooves on the side parts as well as openings on the top surface which are enabled with this invention, which are used for setting up of elements that would be described later, and which increase the functionality of the kerb.

Furthermore, regarding the present condition of the technique, the German patent application DE199823210222 should not be overlooked. This technique shows a kerb with basic purpose for drainage of water and presents a solution for this problem, but completely different from this invention and the abovementioned invention in the present technique. Namely, for the purpose of draining the water there is an inner opening on the long edge along the entire length of the kerb in which a pipe for water drainage is installed, which additionally complicates the production or maintenance of the kerb. It is worth noticing that this kerb has a continuous groove which goes along the side of the wall and is intended for setting of luminescent tape for lighting the road.

This feature is characteristic for the existing invention too, but with the presented invention the groove is with limited length which gives the option not only for setting of the tape, but also for signalization panels, devices for navigation of autonomous vehicles and/or solar collectors.

With both of the abovementioned existing technical solutions and their constructive performance, the greater complexity in their production is visible in comparison with the presented invention, which leads to increasing the price of th production and maintenance of the kerb.

After this short description of the state of the art, the difference in the performance od the kerb and its functional advantages which it has in relation to the already known technical solutions is clearly visible. A technical solution that emphasize all functionalities and additionally solves the problem with water drainage as in the present invention is not known to the inventor before.

Detailed description of the technical solution

As an addition and help for better understanding of the technical description and the characteristics of the invention, in accordance and with an appropriate example for practical embodiment of the invention listed below, the following drawings are submitted:

Figure 1 - axonometric view of the kerb where all its basic characteristics are visible, Figure 2 - side view of the kerb,

Figure 3 - view of the kerb from the top,

Figure 4 - front view of the kerb,

Figure 5 - front view of the kerb in its functional position in a practical performance, Figure 6 - view of three connected kerbs in their practical performance.

As it can be seen on figure 1 , the kerb's base (1 ) is a rectangular body and includes the top part (2), two side parts (3) and two front parts (4). The left bottom part (5) and the right bottom part (6) of the both side parts are cut where the top part of the front sides (4) of the kerb protrude in relation to the side parts (3) of the kerb. A canal is drawn along the entire length of the lower part and symmetric to the longitudinal axis of the kerb (7).

The side parts of the kerb which are shown in figure 2 are rectangular, where the connection of the bottom and the side part is done with a cut (8) with a circular arc (9) in the upper part of the cut. In the upper part of the front sides there is an elliptical opening (10) which is symmetrical with the vertical axis and parallel with the edges (1 1 ) of the top side.

Figure 3 shows the kerb viewed from above where- the top part of the curb is rectangular and has a carve in the middle (12) which is symmetrical to the vertical axes where the carve at one side continues and coincides with the edge (13) while at the other side it ends at a certain distance (1.1 ) from the edge (14).

Figure 4a shows the kerb viewed from the front where the at bottom end is a canal (7) in the form of a cylinder which is symmetrical with the vertical axis and where the left side (15) and the right side (16) of the canal are narrowing and approaching one another while in the upper part they are connecting and form a semicircular arc (17) with an appropriate radius of curvature. On the vertical axis on the upper part on the front side there is a cylindrical opening (18) which stretches along the whole length of the kerb. The curvatures of the edges on the long edge are also shown in this figure where the tilting to the left is characteristic (19) viewed from the longitudinal axis it is greater than the tilting done on the right side (20).

Bellow follows a detailed description of one performance and embodiment of the invention where its use, as well as emphasis of the difference in the functionality and advantage over the other inventions is better understood.

Figure 5 shows the kerb in front view in its operational position in one practical performance placed between the pavement (21 ) and the sidewalk (22) where its role as a border barrier is visible. In the abovementioned elliptical openings (10) set in the top part on both side parts of the kerb are placed fluorescent pathways (23) which are used for lighting the road and the sidewalk. In the bottom part of the canal on the ^' while length of the kerb there is a possibility for setting up a collector (24) through which the accumulated precipitation water and the water from snow melting is collected and flows through the canal.

On figure 6 are shown three kerbs which are connected to each other where the cylindrical opening (18), which is made on the front side and goes all through the length of the kerb, serves as a connector of the one kerb with another, by inserting a part for fastening of two ends of the kerb. The cylindrical opening (18) that goes along the whole length of the kerb serves as an opening through which a cable can be inserted.

The canal (7) which is made in the lower part of the kerb and stretches along its whole length serves as a drain of generated water from precipitation and the melting of snow in the streets, where the water collects in several places which are formed were two kerbs connect (25) and it later flows through the canal and into the sewage drains.

The elliptical opening (10), which is symmetrical to the vertical axis of the kerb and is set up parallel to the top edges in practice is used for setting of fluorescent pathways ^•as-well-as-dev-iees-isr-navigat-ion-of-a^

side of the kerb is used for setting of modules with sun collector and led panels for lighting of the road.
