Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a curbside protector that can avoid damage to the vehicle's body when it hits the curb. The protector has a stable base made of concrete or natural stone and an elastic attached part on the top. The attached part has a compressible section on one side, which can compress and deform when hit by the vehicle's body. This reduces the distance between the stop and the vehicle's access and minimizes damage. The compressible section has a hollow chamber that can change shape during compression, making the protector elastic in the horizontal direction over a longer distance without damaging it. Additionally, an elastic lip can be provided on the compressible section to move back into its original position after compression.

Problems solved by technology

However, if the bodywork of a bus nevertheless abuts against the surface of the second curved section, damage may occur.
When a vehicle hits the attached part, damage may occur because the attached part is rigidly anchored and has slight elasticity only through the material.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]FIGS. 1 and 2 show a curbstone which has a base body 2 made of a dimensionally stable material, in particular concrete or natural stone, and an attached part 3 made of an elastic material, in particular of a rubber material. The curbstone 1 can be installed at a stop for buses or trains, with a “front” facing the road in the installation situation, and an upper side 13 on the attached part 3 forming a tread surface for the passengers.

[0018]The base body 2 comprises a lower section, which has a substantially vertical front side 4, which is installed below a roadway. Above the front side 4, a substantially horizontal surface 15 is formed, onto which a tire of a vehicle can travel in order to access the stop. The horizontal section 5 opens into a concavely curved section 6, which converges into a surface 7 inclined to the vertical, which has a track steering function for approaching tires, so that a bus driver can approach the stop as precisely as possible. The inclined surface 7...

Abstract

A curbstone in particular for a stop has a base body of a dimensionally stable material, on the upper side of which an attached part of an at least partly elastic material is fixed at least in sections. The attached part has a compressible section on at least one side; wherein the attached part, adjacent to the side with the compressible section, has at least one hollow chamber, the shape of which can be changed when the section is pressed together. As a result, the risk of damage to the bodywork is reduced by the attached part.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a curbstone, in particular for a stop, comprising a base body of a dimensionally stable material, on the upper side of which at least partially an attached part of an at least partly elastic material is fixed, as well as a stop for buses or trains.[0002]WO 2011 / 128270 A1 discloses a curbstone for a stop which is produced as an integral moulded body and has on a front side a first concavely curved section and an inclined surface for the track steering of tires of approaching buses. A second concavely curved section is provided above the first concavely curved section which avoids damage to the bodywork of a bus when the latter approaches a stop and the bodywork is arranged particularly deeply. This curb-stone has proven itself and allows a good boarding situation. However, if the bodywork of a bus nevertheless abuts against the surface of the second curved section, damage may occur.[0003]DE 40 37 859 A1 discloses a cur...
