ABSTRACT:
A flexible traffic standard which includes an anchor support assembly consisting of a hollow cylindrical tube and a driving point, and a resilient standard assembly comprising a tempered spring steel strap, the bottom end of which is disposed within a rigid tube, and a resilient tubular cover which encloses the strap and tube. The resilient standard assembly is disposed within the hollow cylindrical tube of the anchor support assembly and is secured by means of a pair of compression bolts. A rain boot prevents water from running down into the tube and a rain cap prevents the entry of water through the top of the flexible standard. The tempered spring steel strap which forms the resilient core of the device is reversely folded at its midpoint, to form a pair of upwardly extending resilient arms which are laterally outwardly offset by means of a twist in the spring steel at the midpoint reverse point. Straps are utilized as spacers to maintain the spring steel strap arms in properly spaced apart position with respect to one another so that the resilient tubular cover is snugly fitted about the arms.
