Abstract: Improved reflective pavement marker is disclosed having a unitary hollow structural body molded in situ about at least one pre-formed retro-reflective lens plate. The unitary structural body has a base surface partially sealed with a compatible sheet includes exterior surface with multiple protruded grooves. An alternative structural body can have a sealed base surface including multiple protruded and recessed grooves with at least one inclined face having a recessed area for receiving a pre-formed lens plate attachment. The planar base surface of said unitary structural body includes an impact absorbing hollow cavities extending along the sides of the inclined reflective faces and incorporate multiple of protruded rectangular grooves.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method are provided for fabricating a one-piece, polymeric raised reflective pavement marker. The apparatus includes a polished cavity segment which have an inclined angular disposition with respect to the mold base horizontal and vertical surfaces; and a core segment having the same inclined disposition correspondingly to the cavity segment, said core segment having at least the top portions polished which can be integrally formed including the electroformed molding used for embossing a precision pattern of prismatic or micro-prismatic cube corner reflective elements. In another preferred apparatus, the entire upper, inclined portion of the core can be made of two parts, a body segment and a polished electroformed segment that is firmly mounted and fixed onto a designated raised regions of the core's body segment.

Abstract: A reflective pavement marker is used for delineating roadways, having at least one retro-reflective face, including a plurality of cube-corner reflective elements. The marker may comprise two similar portions agglutinated to each other along a vertical back wall of each marker and along an upper resilient segment, such as a handle bar, having beaded periphery edges, that facilitate agglutinating one marker to another, to form a bi-directional pavement marker. An abrasion-resistant, coating can be provided upon the reflective surfaces of said marker. The marker can be made from abrasion and ultra violet radiation resistant polymers, in either single or dual color segments.

Abstract: Improved multi-sided reflective pavement marker is disclosed having an integrally molded hollow structural body and two retro-reflective lens means for attachments. The lens means integrally includes retro-reflective cube corner elements within cell like areas defined by a periphery wall and multiple of partition walls. The hollow structural body having two tilted multi-angular sides, each with low impact regions and a centralize recessed means being adopted to define a finger grip area, a planar top surface, a sealed base surface including impact absorbing hollow cavities and further including multiple of recessed grooves, said structural body further includes two inclined front and back faces, each face having a recessed area defined by a periphery wall and including multiple of load carrying partition walls toped with wedge shaped energy directors for attaching said retro-reflective lens means.

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.

Abstract: A reflective pavement marker can be fabricated utilizing a typically used housing (shell) reinforced by agglutination of a one-piece, monolithically formed, hollowed structural body. The hollowed structural body is having a sealed, textured base surface and an upper, two sides and two face surfaces defined by load carrying partition walls forming multiple hollow cavities. This type of hollowed structural body can effectively replace various structural fill systems or any other multi elements structural body used in fabricating a reflective pavement marker. The hollowed structural body is generally welded or agglutinated directly to the interior of a housing (shell), and to portion of the apexes of the cube corner reflective elements within said reflective faces of a housing. This type of hollow structural body can be formed to fit any single piece housing fabricated with integrally molded retro-reflective faces.

Abstract: A retro-reflective roadway marker is generally comprised of a one-piece housing, having integrally molded retro-reflective faces.The reflective faces having outside surfaces with abrasing reducing raised members and inside surfaces of light reflecting elements that are preferably formed from three mutually intersecting surfaces.In one form the reflective elements within the housing are integrally molded with partition walls, dividing the reflective elements into small cells, each cell with a plurality of the reflective elements functioning independently without being encapsulated by the filler material.
