  • Patent number: 7621691
    Abstract: A longitudinal, channelizing traffic separator system has interlocking D-shaped curb sections with a recessed delineator post mounting receptacle formed in the top side of interlocked sections at an interlock joint. The receptacle will releasably retain a quick-release delineator post. Tapered nose-end sections may be longitudinally aligned with interlocked curb modules at the beginning and end of a sequence of curb modules. The curb sections and nose-end sections have both longitudinal ribs and lateral plates beneath the top side to transmit top side loads to a support surface such as a roadway or bridge.

  • Patent number: 7195422
    Abstract: A recessed delinator base for disposition in grooves in a highway or traffic support surface has a body member with leg portions attached to the body and extending outwardly therefrom. The body has a circular notch formed therein to accept a traffic delineator knuckle assembly. Within the notch and extending upwardly from the bottom thereof are a plurality of spaced apart studs. Each stud has and enlarged head portion. At least one detent receiving hole is provided in the bottom of the notch for accepting a detent lock pin for securing the knuckle assembly from rotation once placed within the recessed circular notch in the base. The ramping or sloping legs urge a clearing implement to slide along the top-most portion of the body member thereby avoiding engagement with the knuckle attachment studs when the support surface is cleared or cleaned.
