Abstract:
An apparatus for securing a road tube to a roadway is disclosed. The apparatus may comprise a locking component configured to engage a portion of the road tube. The apparatus may additionally comprise a base assembly configured to be secured to the roadway. The base assembly may include a planar base, a first side portion extending from the base, and a second side portion extending from the base. The first and second side portions may define a channel therebetween. The channel may be configured to receive the locking component. As the locking component is moved into the channel, at least one of the first and second side portions may be configured to move the locking component toward the base to secure the portion of the road tube therebetween.

Claim (Index 20):
An apparatus for securing a road tube to a roadway, comprising:\n a locking component configured to engage a portion of the road tube, the locking component includes a main portion disposed between third and fourth side portions, wherein the main portion includes spaced-apart first and second walls, the first and second walls are parallel to each other and each of the first and second walls includes an end, the locking component further includes a third wall connecting the ends of the first and second walls, wherein the first, second, and third walls define a cavity that is configured to receive the portion of the road tube; and a base assembly configured to be secured to the roadway, the base assembly including a planar base, a first side portion extending from the base, and a second side portion extending from the base, the first and second side portions defining a channel therebetween, the channel is configured to receive the locking component and, as the locking component is moved into the channel, at least one of the first and second side portions are configured to move the locking component toward the base to secure the portion of the road tube therebetween, wherein the first and second portions of the base assembly include first and second inverted inclined surfaces, respectively, wherein the third and fourth side portions of the locking component include third and fourth inclined surfaces, respectively, the first inverted inclined surface is configured to contact the third inclined surface, and the second inverted inclined surface is configured to contact the fourth inclined surface when the locking component is received in the channel such that, as the locking component is moved into the channel, the first and second inverted inclined surfaces move the locking component toward the base to secure the portion of the road tube therebetween.
