Bike lane delineators

Abstract

Bike lane delineators that separate bike and motor vehicle traffic lanes. The bike delineators may include reflective members, alternating colors and hollows.

1 . A bike lane delineator, comprising:
 a body comprising a base, a front portion, a rear portion, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall; and   a plurality of reflecting members protruding from the body.   
     
     
         2 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 1 , wherein the reflecting members comprise a spherical segment protruding from the body. 
     
     
         3 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 2 , wherein the body includes a plurality of retention cavities and the reflection members are located in the retention cavities. 
     
     
         4 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 3 , wherein the reflection members are retained by an interference fit within the retention cavities. 
     
     
         5 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 3 , wherein the reflection members include a front portion and a rear portion, wherein the front portion is translucent and defines the spherical segment and the rear portion includes a reflective material. 
     
     
         6 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 5 , wherein the rear portion of the reflecting member is positioned in the retention cavity of the body. 
     
     
         7 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 6 , wherein the reflecting members are located in the first sidewall. 
     
     
         8 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 6 , wherein the first portion and the second portion of the body include alcoves and the reflecting members are located in the alcoves. 
     
     
         9 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 1 , wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall are convex. 
     
     
         10 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 7 , wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall are symmetrical. 
     
     
         11 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 1 , wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall are asymmetrical. 
     
     
         12 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 9 , wherein the first sidewall is convex and the second sidewall is planar. 
     
     
         13 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 10 , wherein the second sidewall extends at an angle of about 70 deg to about 90 deg relative to the base. 
     
     
         14 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 1 , further including a plurality of bores through the body that are configured to receive a securing member. 
     
     
         15 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 14 , wherein the bores are located in the first sidewall and the second sidewall. 
     
     
         16 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 13 , where at least one bore is located in each of the front portion and the rear portion. 
     
     
         17 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 14 , wherein the bores are located in the first sidewall, the front portion and the rear portion. 
     
     
         18 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 1 , wherein the body include hollows. 
     
     
         19 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 1 , wherein the body includes a plurality of sections separated by channels. 
     
     
         20 . The bike lane delineator of  claim 19 , wherein the sections have alternating colors.
