Abstract
A reflective pavement marker having a structural body and at least one retro-reflective face. The pavement marker having angled sides, each having a designated lower impact region, and a slanted finger grip region. The marker further having a base sealing sheet with texture outside surface, the at least one reflective face has an abrasion resistant coating and the marker can be colored in a single or multiple colors. At least two guide pins are received in corresponding guide pin slots, to facilitate joining two marker halves together.
Claims8
A multi-sided retro-reflective pavement marker for providing visible marking within a multi-lane roadway surface, comprising:
- An opaque colored, partially hollowed, structural body formed of polymeric material including two angular sides, two slanted finger grip slots, at least one transparent face having a plurality retro-reflective elements, lower horizontally-protruded, impact regions and a base having a recessed area having at least two guiding pin slots, a sealer sheet with a textured base with at least two guide pins and energy directors for agglutination to said recessed area of said pavement reflective marker.
A multi-sided retro-reflective pavement marker having an inclined, transparent, retro-reflective face and a structural body including a plurality of internally positioned, load-carrying walls;
- wherein said reflective face having a planar exterior with multiple raised bumpers defining reflective cells, each of said cells having an interior surface with a plurality of light reflecting cube corner elements, said structural body having a vertical back defining the multiple hollow cavities, a planar top surface with a 1st tongue and groove elements, in side by side relationship, a base surface having a 2nd tongue and groove elements, wherein said structural body further comprises two multi-angular sides each of said sides having two tilted angular faces defining a lower, protruded impact region and further including half of a finger grip slot with a slanted angular surface at least one of said finger grip slots having a guiding pin, whereas the opposite finger grip slot has a guiding pin slot, such that two similar pavement markers can be assembled in back-to-back relationship via said tongue and groove and guide pin assemblies.
