CA 2632252

A surface-mounted base for a breakaway signpost. The base is configured as a sphere so as to present no edges that may be impacted by a vehicle and includes a sunken socket ensuring that no metal shards project above grade after a post is damaged. The base is provided with recessed slots for retaining securing bolts therein. This arrangement prevents the securing bolt heads from being contacted by the undercarriage of a vehicle or mower and plow blades of maintenance machines. The slots also allow for rotation of the base during installation ensuring correct orientation of the signpost. Reflective or florescent materials can be attached to the recesses to enhance night visibility.

Base de poteau montée à la surface et à caisson de sécurité. La base est de forme sphérique afin de ne présenter aucun rebord pouvant faire impact avec un véhicule, et comprend une douille évidée pour assurer qu'aucun tesson métallique ne soit projeté en élévation lorsque le poteau a été endommagé. La base est munie de fentes évidées pour y retenir les boulons de fixation. Cette disposition empêche les têtes des boulons de fixation de toucher le dessous de carrosserie d'un véhicule ou d'une tondeuse et les lames de charrues des machines d'entretien. Les fentes permettent également la rotation de la base lors de son installation, ce qui permet d'assurer la bonne orientation du poteau d'indication. Des matériaux réfléchissants ou fluorescents peuvent être fixés aux évidements afin d'améliorer la visibilité du panneau de nuit.
