Claims4
A pavement marker comprising a base member, two opposite resilient members and an upright member, said base member comprising a substantially planar base section that extends under said upright member and adapted to receive and retain said resilient members, said resilient members spaced apart from one another and adapted to retain said upright member in an upright position and allow for limited pivotal rotation in response to a force applied to said upright member, and wherein said upright member comprises a reflective surface and wherein said base defines a transverse groove and said upright member further comprises a rod-shaped section and said groove is adapted to receive said rod shaped base section and allow for limited pivotal movement within said groove wherein said resilient members comprise resilient pad members, said resilient pad members received in said base member and oriented in a plane generally parallel with the said planar base section of said base member and said resilient pad members define a lateral slot into which said rod shaped base section of said upright member is received and where said resilient pads engage said upright members in response to a force that is applied to upright members and said resilient pads help support said upright member in upright position.
