Vehicle restraint system

Abstract

A vehicle restraint system for delimiting roadways includes guide barriers ( 1 ) which are detachably placed next to each other. Each guide barrier ( 1 ) includes a housing-like base body ( 3 ) which can be set up on the ground ( 2 ) on pedestals ( 24 ). A pedestal ( 24 ) includes a metal main body ( 25 ) and a ground-facing elastomer body ( 26 ) connected to the main body ( 25 ). The pedestal ( 24 ) can be detachably fastened to the main body ( 3 ) by way of a connecting element ( 27 ), wherein the connecting element ( 27 ) interacts with an abutment ( 29 ) on the main body ( 25 ). In particular, rubber-metal elements or buffers are used as pedestals ( 24 ).

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 .- 14 . (canceled) 
     
     
         15 . A vehicle restraint system for delimiting roadways, comprising:
 guide barriers which are detachably placed one after another, each guide barrier comprising a housing-shaped base body constructed to be set up on a ground surface, and   a pedestal comprising a metallic main body and a ground-surface-facing elastomer body connected to the metallic main body and an abutment, said pedestal constructed for detachable attachment to the base body with a connecting element cooperating with the abutment on the main body.   
     
     
         16 . The vehicle restraint system of  claim 15 , wherein the main body and the elastomer body are fixedly connected with each other. 
     
     
         17 . The vehicle restraint system of  claim 15 , wherein the connecting element is a threaded bolt and the abutment is a threaded bore disposed in the main body. 
     
     
         18 . The vehicle restraint system of  claim 15 , wherein the connecting element is a threaded nut and the abutment is a threaded bolt disposed in the main body. 
     
     
         19 . The vehicle restraint system of  claim 15 , wherein the main body has a thickness and the elastomer body has a thickness, wherein a ratio of the thickness of the main body to the ratio of the thickness of the elastomer body is between 1:1 and 1:10. 
     
     
         20 . The vehicle restraint system of  claim 19 , wherein the ratio of the thickness of the main body to the ratio of the thickness of the elastomer body is between 1:2.5 and 1:5. 
     
     
         21 . The vehicle restraint system of  claim 15 , wherein the main body is made of steel. 
     
     
         22 . The vehicle restraint system of  claim 15 , wherein the elastomer body is made of rubber. 
     
     
         23 . The vehicle restraint system of  claim 15 , wherein the elastomer body has a hardness of at least 50 Shore. 
     
     
         24 . The vehicle restraint system of  claim 15 , wherein the pedestal has a circular horizontal cross-section and the abutment is arranged in a center of the main body. 
     
     
         25 . The vehicle restraint system of  claim 15 , wherein the main body and the elastomer body have matching horizontal cross sections. 
     
     
         26 . The vehicle restraint system of  claim 15 , further comprising runners extending in a transverse direction underneath the base body wherein the pedestal is arranged underneath a runner. 
     
     
         27 . The vehicle restraint system of  claim 15 , further comprising at least one weighting body is arranged in the base body. 
     
     
         28 . The vehicle restraint system of  claim 26 , wherein the pedestal is mounted on a slot of the runner.
