Road stud with improved fixing structure

Abstract

In accordance with the present invention, there is a road stud with an improved fastening structure made up of a one-piece main body having a top surface made up of reflective lenses and handling cavities, and a base with two longitudinal anchoring channels of angled walls that are divided by cross-sectional supports that increase their compression strength and improve the adherence of the epoxy glue or bitumen inside each anchoring channel, wherein at least one QR Identification Code is placed on top of the main body.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A road stud with improved fastening structure comprised of a one-piece main body having a top surface and a base; wherein the top surface of the main body shows:
 at least one housing area on at least one of its longitudinal sides for the placement of the at least one reflective media,   at least two handling cavities at their opposite cross-sectional ends; and   wherein the bottom surface of the base has:   a plurality of side openings distributed at both longitudinal ends of the base;   a plurality of edges distributed over the entire bottom surface of the base; and   at least two longitudinal anchoring channels that cross, from end to end, the entire bottom surface of the base; characterized in that,   each longitudinal anchoring channel is divided by at least one perpendicular cross-sectional support that increases the compression strength of the road stud and improves the adherence of the adhesive to the interior of each anchoring channel; and   a plurality of primary and secondary tensors defined by vaulted cavities that are distributed in the central part of the bottom surface of the base, and that comply with the function of increasing its thickness in order to balance the impact strengths.   
     
     
         2 . The road stud of  claim 1 , characterized in that the inner walls of the longitudinal anchoring channels and of the perpendicular crossbeams are angled walls to improve adhesive adhesion. 
     
     
         3 . The road stud of  claim 1 , characterized in that the side openings of the base are separated from each other by perpendicular supports with angled walls. 
     
     
         4 . The road stud of  claim 1 , characterized in that the top surface of the main body of the road stud has at least one QR Identification Code. 
     
     
         5 . The road stud of  claim 4 , characterized in that the QR Identification Code is located within at least one handling cavity. 
     
     
         6 . The road stud of  claim 1 , characterized in that the top surface of the main body of the road stud has rounded edges that reduce the impact stress exerted by the vehicle tires on the road stud. 
     
     
         7 . The road stud of  claim 1 , characterized in that each housing has a stepped perimeter frame inside for the placement of the reflective media. 
     
     
         8 . The road stud of  claim 1 , characterized in that each reflective media has visible edges for greater reflectivity. 
     
     
         9 . A road stud with improved fastening structure comprised of a one-piece main body having a top surface and a base; wherein the top surface of the main body shows:
 at least one housing area on at least one of its longitudinal sides for the placement of the at least one reflective media,   at least two handling cavities at their opposite cross-sectional ends; and   wherein the bottom surface of the base shows:   a plurality of side openings distributed at both longitudinal ends of the base;   a plurality of edges distributed over the entire bottom surface of the base; and   at least two longitudinal anchoring channels that cross, from end to end, the entire bottom surface of the base; characterized in that,   each longitudinal anchoring channel is divided by at least one perpendicular cross-sectional support that increases the compression strength of the road stud and improves the adhesive adherence to the interior of each anchoring channel; and   at least four longitudinal channels with a pointed end to cover the largest possible area of the bottom surface of the base are distributed in the central part of the bottom surface of the base of the road stud to increase the compression strength of the road stud.   
     
     
         10 . The road stud of  claim 9 , characterized in that the inner walls of the longitudinal channels of the base of the road stud are angled. 
     
     
         11 . A road stud with improved fastening structure comprised of a one-piece main body having a top surface and a base; wherein the top surface of the main body shows:
 at least one housing area on at least one of its longitudinal sides for the placement of the at least one reflective media,   at least two handling cavities at their opposite transverse ends; and   wherein the bottom surface of the base shows:   a plurality of side openings distributed at both longitudinal ends of the base;   a plurality of edges distributed over the entire bottom surface of the base; and   at least two longitudinal anchoring channels that cross, from end to end, the entire bottom surface of the base; characterized in that,   each longitudinal anchoring channel is divided by at least one perpendicular cross-sectional support that increases the compression strength of the road stud and improves the adhesive adherence to the interior of each anchoring channel; and   at least four rectangular channels with a pointed end and at least four triangular-shaped openings are located in the central part of the bottom surface of the base of the road stud to increase the compression strength of the road stud.   
     
     
         12 . The road stud of  claim 11 , characterized in that the inner walls of the longitudinal channels of the base of the road stud are angled.
