  • Patent number: 4486117
    Abstract: A flexible traffic standard which includes an anchor support assembly consisting of a hollow cylindrical tube and a driving point, and a resilient standard assembly comprising a tempered spring steel strap, the bottom end of which is disposed within a rigid tube, and a resilient tubular cover which encloses the strap and tube. The resilient standard assembly is disposed within the hollow cylindrical tube of the anchor support assembly and is secured by means of a pair of compression bolts. A rain boot prevents water from running down into the tube and a rain cap prevents the entry of water through the top of the flexible standard. The tempered spring steel strap which forms the resilient core of the device is reversely folded at its midpoint, to form a pair of upwardly extending resilient arms which are laterally outwardly offset by means of a twist in the spring steel at the midpoint reverse point.

  • Patent number: 4373464
    Abstract: A resilient traffic standard or bumper includes a dome of resilient material having a central tubular section oriented orthogonally to the support surface and within which tubular section is disposable any one of a number of different types of standards. The outside of the central tubular section is surrounded by a compression spring which helps to restore the resilient dome to its undeformed shape after it has been impacted by a vehicle. The entire structure is anchored to the support surface through the bottom of the central tubular sections. A plurality of resilient domes are stackable and securable together for anchoring to a wall to function as a resilient bumper.
