Pavement Marking System With Pavement Marker Dispenser Having Curvilinear Feed Tube for Improved Marker Spacing
A pavement marker dispenser for a pavement marking system dispenses retroreflective markers for a roadway with more accurate marker spacing. The dispenser includes an elongated feed tube that houses a generally vertical curvilinear stack of pavement markers. The feed tube has top and bottom openings to respectively receive and dispense the markers in a downwardly vertical direction. The feed tube has a nonlinear curvature along its length to produce the curvilinear stack of markers so that a downwardly vertical stacking force imposed on a bottommost marker to be dispensed is reduced. The feed tube has first and second curved portions so that the nonlinear curvature is generally serpentine in shape. A disc actuator having a pushing arm extends perpendicular to the feed tube to push the bottommost marker in a rearward and downward direction into the delivery chute, which dispenses the markers.
