Road marking machine and method
First Claim
1. A road marking machine, particularly for forming a traffic regulating line, comprising a chassis movable along a road to be marked;
- first applying means on said chassis operative for applying a plurality of first separate strips onto a road to be marked, so that when said chassis moves along the road the first strips applied onto the road follow one after another, said first applying means being adapted to so apply said first separate strips to the road that each two adjacent first strips applied to the road are spaced one from each other along the movement of the chassis so as to constitute therebetween an elongated gap on the road; and
second applying means on said chassis adapted for applying at least one second strip different from said first strips in said gap between said two adjacent first strips so that said second strip is aligned with said first strip along the direction of the movement of the chassis and at least partially covers said gap on the road to thereby constitute together with said first strips a traffic regulating line, said second means being adapted to spray a predetermined substance of said second strip onto the road and into the gap between said first strips.

Abstract
A compound machine for mechanically forming traffic dividing and regulating lines on a roadway pavement, comprising a motor driven vehicle adapted to travel along a desired direction on said pavement, the machine being implemented by a first apparatus supplied and adapted for forming spaced line segment by applying on said pavement spaced lengths of a multilayer road marking prefabricated tape material, and by a second apparatus supplied and adapted for forming painted marking line lengths aligned with and in the intervals between the spaced road marking tape segments, whereby a discontinuous marking line including alternatively arranged tape segments and painted segments is formed on the roadway pavement.

11. A method of marking a road, particularly with a traffic regulating line, comprising the steps of applying to a road to be marked a first sequence of first strips following one after another, so that each two adjacent first strips are in alignment with and spaced from each other by an elongated gap;
- and applying directly to the road a second sequence of second strips different from said first strips and following one after another, so that at least one second strip is applied to the road into said elongated gap between said two adjacent first strips to be aligned with said first strips along the direction which the machine takes along the road and to at least partially cover said gap and to thereby constitute together with said first strips a traffic regulating line, said step of applying said second strip constituting the step of spraying a substance of the second strip onto the road in the gap between said two adjacent first strips.

13. A method of marking a road, particularly with a traffic regulating line, comprising the steps of applying to a road to be marked a first sequence of first strips constituted of prefabricated tape material and following one after another, so that each two adjacent first strips are in alignment with and spaced from each other by an elongated gap;
- and applying directly to the road a paint so as to form a second sequence of second strips also following one after another, so that at least one second strip is applied to the road into said elongated gap between said two adjacent first strips to be aligned with said first strips along the direction which the machine takes along the road and to at least partially cover said gap, to thereby constitute together with said first strips a traffic regulating line composed of the alternating strips of prefabricated tape material and paint.
