Patent ID: 7758278

Claim:
A parking curb system comprising: a parking curb having one or more cylindrical channels extending in a vertical direction through a height of the parking curb, wherein the height of the parking curb extends vertically from a lower surface of the parking curb to an upper surface of the parking curb; and a means for anchoring the parking curb to a substrate, wherein the means for anchoring the parking curb fits within the one or more cylindrical channels, wherein the means for anchoring comprises at least a parking curb anchor rod and a plate fitted around the parking curb anchor rod so that the plate is perpendicular to an axial length of the parking curb anchor rod, the parking curb anchor rod being designed to fit within the one or more cylindrical channels and the top surface of the plate being designed to fit adjacent to the lower surface of the parking curb and an upper surface of the substrate, wherein the parking curb has a recess configured to fit the plate into which the plate fits when coupled to the parking curb, the recess extends transversely from side to side of the bottom of the parking curb, wherein the recess has a recess width that is less than a bottom width of the parking curb such that the recess is surrounded on each of four sides by a boundary defined by a lip integral to the bottom of the parking curb, and wherein a combination of the plate and the parking curb prevents movement of the parking curb anchor rod due to forces applied by the substrate.
