Definitions

  • the invention concerns a manufactured article for marking areas adjacent to carriageways for vehicles, particularly in the dark, that is, for example, a kerb, a bollard, or barrier, delimiting pavements, flower-beds, traffic islands and roadside areas in general, or inserted in the roads themselves, having at least one marker element that is activated by the lights of passing traffic.
  • Prior art comprises pavements, flower-beds, or traffic islands in general provided with demarcation consisting of a manufactured article made up of sections of kerb, made of natural or artificial stone, or other suitable material, that however do not have - with the exception of the possibility of painting them with black and white stripes - any luminous-type markers, which are more effective, consisting for example, of reflectors aligned transversely which signal their presence particularly at night, or with precarious ambient lighting conditions in general.
  • the base of the barrier has to be wider than its upper part: in this way the path of the vehicles cannot interfere with the said marker elements.
  • a manufactured article provided with at least one marker element which is refractive, reflective, or provided with its own light source, aligned transversely in such a way that it may be easily seen by the driver of the vehicle that emits the light, even in the absence of ambient light and also at high speed, positioned, moreover, in such a way that it may not interfere with the path of the vehicle, even when the said path touches the said manufactured item and which does not require support elements for it to be held in position: it being possible for the height of the said manufactured items to be very modest, for example, of the order of a few decimetres, and projecting even just one decimetre, as in the case of kerbs for pavements, flower-beds, or carriageway dividers used in urban and non-urban areas or for other possible destinations, such as those of suburban road networks, those of residential, industrial areas as well as those in the vicinity of motorway junctions.
  • the invention resolves the said technical problem by adopting a substantially parallelepiped manufactured article, even with curvilinear or broken-line axis, advantageously made of a cement mix or using a reinforced plastic material, for example, with glass fibre, whose manufacturing method, in the case of the cement mix, is selected from a group comprising the forming of the said manufactured article by pressing and, generally more advantageously, by vibration; the manufactured article being inserted in the ground from which it does not project very far, for example, of the order of ten centimetres: the opposite face being buried, or covered by gravel, bitumen, natural or artificial stone, generally up to its summit; such a manufactured article being provided with, on the side facing the traffic, one or more cavities, on whose base, inclined with a transverse component, is in whichever way attached at least one marker element which is refractive, reflective or provided with its own light source, for example a reflector, a reflective, luminescent surface, in whichever way achieved, in such a way that, despite being recessed with respect
  • the advantages offered by the present invention are: the possibility for the position of the manufactured article delimiting pavements, flower-beds, traffic islands and other raised objects by the sides of carriageways for vehicles, such as motorcars, motor vehicles, bicycles, to be made visible particularly in the absence of ambient light: this as a result of the light emitted by the said vehicles, even if travelling at high speed and in foggy conditions; lack of interference of the marker element with the path of the vehicle; insertion of the marker element in a protected position; elimination of supports; reduced cost.
  • Figure 1 is the front view of a section of manufactured article as described, having, for example, the function of pavement kerb, provided with a rectangular reflector at each of its extremities;
  • Figure 2 is the plan view of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is the vertical transverse section III-III of a manufactured article as in Figure 2 at the left-hand extremity with the manufactured article installed;
  • Figure 4, as in Figure 1, is the front view of a manufactured article, but with a pair of rectangular reflectors positioned symmetrically with respect to the vertical centre line of the said section;
  • Figure 5 is the horizontal longitudinal section V-V of Figure 4;
  • Figure 6 is the vertical transverse section VI-VI of Figure 4;
  • Figure 7 is a front view as in Figure 4 but with a pair of trapezoidal reflectors;
  • Figure 8 is the horizontal longitudinal section VIII-VIII of Figure 7;
  • Figure 9 is the vertical transverse section IX-IX of Figure 7;
  • Figure 10 is a front view as in Figure 7, but with a pair of round reflectors;
  • the figures show: 1, the manufactured article, for example, consisting of a section of kerb 1 m in length, buried up to trace 2 on its face adjacent to the carriageway, provided with rectangular reflectors 3 fixed in the sunken cavities at the upper part of the extremities of the said face, having sides 4 and base 5; 6, ( Figure 3) the carriageway for vehicles delimited by the manufactured article 1 back-filled with material 7, homogeneous or heterogeneous, constituting the pavement, flower-bed, or other area, be it raised or not with respect to the carriageway 6; 8, ( Figure 7) trapezoidal reflectors; 9, ( Figure 10) round reflectors.
  • the base 5 of the two cavities at the extremities of the section of kerb 1 in Figure 1 being in the form of a chamfer, protected from above by the wall 4 above it, whereas in the case of the two opposing cavities positioned close to each other in the kerb 1 in Figures 4, 7, 10 the line of the base 5 consists of a broken line with at least two segments, one angled with a marked transverse component for attaching the reflector, and the other with shallower angle to allow the passage of the light emitted by the passing vehicles in the direction of the said reflector in a direction which is tangential to the said base.
  • the manufactured article may be identified as an isolated element such as a bollard or even one or more barriers placed on the ground.
