Abstract

A module manufactured in colors which are not altered by use as they are inherent to the constitutive material thereof, in order to conform—with a succession thereof—traces delineating lanes, restricted areas, indicative arrows and other graphisms applicable to traffic signaling on roads, streets, gas stations, parking lots, etc., said module having a troncoconical conformation and a very reduced height, the upper base thereof having a diameter significantly lower than the one of the bottom base, in such a way that the enveloping face thereof is substantially a downward annulus slightly inclined towards the outer perimeter, the center thereof having a vertical orifice with a beveled upper entrance, wherein the milled head of a screw is hold, in such a way that the module is fixed on its bottom base supported onto the surface by passing the clamp screw through said orifice so as to insert the opposite end thereof into another orifice made on the road surface, provided with an expandable anchor screw, a bit or a similar anchor means, thus assuring on the basis of said conformation, constitutive material and anchor means, that ongoing traffic stepping thereonto will not cause any transversal forces resulting in alteration of positioning and coloration thereof.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A signaling point module for use on the road surface such as the one used for conforming traffic signaling traces or other signaling graphisms by attaching same onto the surface, characterized in that it is manufactured with a resistant material, said module having a troncoconical conformation and a very reduced height, the upper base thereof having a diameter which is significantly lower than the one of the bottom base, projecting the enveloping face thereof as an annulus slightly inclined in a radial sense between the edges of both bases and having within the center a vertical orifice with a beveled upper entrance defining the attachment for the milled head of a clamp screw, passing through said orifice so as to connect by the opposite end thereof in a holding means inserted into an orifice made onto the surface prior to the installation thereof. 
   
   
       2 . A signaling point module for use on the road surface in accordance with  claim 1 , characterized in that the module has at least a monolithic fitting, preferably cylindrical, stemming perpendicularly from the bottom face thereof in an eccentric way with respect to the orifice though which the screw passes. 
   
   
       3 . A signaling point module for use on the road surface in accordance with  claim 1 , characterized in that the attachment means onto the surface is a plurality of screws distributed within a concentrically circular trace, passing through orifices of monolithic fittings, preferably cylindrical, stemming perpendicularly from the bottom face thereof. 
   
   
       4 . A signaling point module for use on the road surface in accordance with  claim 1 , characterized in that the means for holding the clamp screws, are expandable anchor screws. 
   
   
       5 . A signaling point module for use on the road surface in accordance with  claims 1 , characterized in that it has a constitutive material of a color chosen for the visualization thereof. 
   
   
       6 . A signaling point module for use on the road surface in accordance with  claim 2 , characterized in that the means for holding the clamp screws, are expandable anchor screws. 
   
   
       7 . A signaling point module for use on the road surface in accordance with  claim 3 , characterized in that the means for holding the clamp screws, are expandable anchor screws. 
   
   
       8 . A signaling point module for use on the road surface in accordance with  claims 2 , characterized in that it has a constitutive material of a color chosen for the visualization thereof. 
   
   
       9 . A signaling point module for use on the road surface in accordance with  claims 3 , characterized in that it has a constitutive material of a color chosen for the visualization thereof.
