Abstract: A highway divider including a plurality of butt-joined divider members which each has two side walls which are oppositely concavely curved in vertical cross-section. The side walls are uniformly curved over the entire height thereof. The divider members are stiffened by at least two spaced-apart transverse webs. The longitudinal edges of the side walls end tangentially in a common horizontal plane. The upper longitudinal edges of the side walls are connected to an underside of a connecting pipe which has a plug at one end thereof and plug socket on the other end.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided in which a support table and clamp arrangement serve to hold a panel in position while a surfacing sheet already applied to the major face of such panel, is applied around radiused edges of the panel. The apparatus includes a turntable to support a panel in raised position relative to the support table when the turntable is being rotated to enable successive edges of the panel to be presented to the apparatus without removing a panel from the turntable. The turntable can be located on a carrier movable laterally towards and away from the clamping arrangement.

Abstract: Apparatus for applying a surfacing sheet such as a plastic sheet, veneer or the like to an optionally radiused edge of a panel, or to a column or the like, in which an applicator bar which is, optionally heated and is preferably flat, is urged against the surfacing sheet to press it onto the surface of the panel column or the like. Means are provided for ensuring that lateral movement of the applicator bar takes place relative to the panel or column to stretch and smooth the surfacing sheet onto the surface of the panel or column. The applicator bar is preferably carried on an arm arrangement held between two spaced rotatable end supports and the biasing is carried out by a number of spaced pneumatic or hydraulic piston and cylinder assemblies acting transverse to the arm arrangement. The biasing means is preferably carried on a frame member carried by the rotatable end supports.
