Abstract
Reflective, self-supporting road signaling device comprised of a support piece (A) and a signaling plate (B). The support piece (A) is made of a rigid triangular element with a clamp fastening onto the upper part of a vehicle window to support the signaling plate (B). As for the signaling plate (B), it is comprised of a long rectangular piece with a large positioning area for the reflective element (8). To ensure the signposted vehicle is easily seen by traffic on its same side, a reflective arrow changing color between red and white, with the arrow vertex as far as possible from the vehicle that carries it, is used.
Claims4
Reflective, self-supporting road signaling device comprised of two key elements:
- (A).—Support piece,
- (B).—Signaling plate.
- The support piece (A) is made of a rigid triangular element (1) with a main side (2) that has two square attachment parts (4) comprised of two flat sides with L-shaped lips (10) placed in a vertical and parallel manner.
- As an upper side extension of the rigid triangular element (1) and with the same width as the upper side, there is a fastening clamp (3) defined by three planes. The first plane is parallel to the upper side of the rigid triangular element (1). The second plane is a continuation of the previous one but in a slightly vertical plane running parallel to the inclined plane of the rigid triangular element (1). The third and last plane is a continuation of the previous plane and forms a slight curve later diverting some 30° from the inclined plane of the rigid triangular element (1) towards the outside.
- These three planes comprise a clamp (3) which fastens onto a vehicle window to serve as support part of the signaling plate (B).
- The signaling plate (B) has a long and light rectangular piece of reduced thickness which serves as a support piece (7). This support piece (7), in addition to having a large positioning area for the reflective element (8) on both surfaces, has in one of the minor side ends a widening (9) bearing two bolsters (5) on its upper and lower parts. The bolsters have vertical and parallel flanges (6) with a size enabling these parts to slide inside the attachment parts (5) to maintain the signaling plate (B) in its operational position.
