Vehicle stopping device

A vehicle stopping device having a panel of material with a split extending from one end of the panel toward an opposite end of the panel, a tactile surface formed adjacent to one of the panel and adapted to attach to a tire rolling thereover, and a reinforcement sash affixed to the panel of material and extending in a partial loop around the split seam. The reinforcement sash has a first end affixed adjacent to the tactile surface and a second end affixed to the tactile surface on an opposite side of the split seam from the first end. The panel has a width dimension suitable for extending across a roadway. The tactile surface extends across this width dimension. The panel is capable of being folded into a concertina. The tactile surface can be either an adhesive applied onto a top surface of the panel of material, an adhesive retained within a plurality of blisters affixed along a forward edge of the panel of material, or a plurality of barbs extending upwardly from the top surface of the panel of material.

I claim:

1. A vehicle stopping device comprising:

a panel of material having a split extending from one end of said panel toward an opposite end of said panel;

a tactile surface formed adjacent said one end of said panel, said tactile surface adapted to attach to a tire rolling thereover; and

reinforcement sash affixed to said panel of material and extending in a partial loop extending around said split.

2. The device of claim 1, said split extending longitudinally along said panel of material, said split having an end spaced from said opposite end of said panel of material.

3. The device of claim 2, said split extending for approximately 3/4 of a length of said panel of material, said split located in a middle of said panel of material.

4. The device of claim 2, said reinforcement sash having a first end affixed adjacent to said tactile surface, said reinforcement sash having a second end affixed adjacent to said tactile surface on an opposite side of said split from said first end.

5. The device of claim 4, said reinforcement sash extending in parallel relationship to said split on opposite sides of said split, said reinforcement sash extending around said split spaced from said opposite end of said panel of material.

6. The device of claim 4, said reinforcement sash having a V-shaped connector at said first end and a V-shaped connector at said second end, said V-shaped connectors respectively having a wide portion affixed to said tactile surface.

7. The device of claim 1, said panel having a width dimension suitable for extending across a roadway, said tactile surface extending across said width dimension, said panel foldable into a concertina.

8. The device of claim 1, said tactile surface comprising an adhesive applied onto a top surface of said panel material.

9. The device of claim 1, said tactile surface having said adhesive contained in a plurality of blisters, said plurality of blisters adapted to release said adhesive when crushed by the tire rolling thereover.

10. The device of claim 1, said tactile surface comprising a plurality of barbs extending upwardly from a top surface of said panel of material.

11. A vehicle stopping device comprising:

a panel of material having a forward end and a rearward end;

a tactile surface formed adjacent to said first end of said panel material, said tactile surface adapted to attach to a tire rolling thereover; and

a reinforcement sash affixed to said panel of material and extending in a partial loop over said panel material, said reinforcement sash having a first end and a second end affixed adjacent to said tactile surface.

12. The device of claim 11, said panel of material having a split extending from said forward end toward said rearward end, said reinforcement sash extending around said split.

13. The device of claim 12, said split having an end spaced from said rearward end, said reinforcement sash extending parallel to said split around said end of said split.

14. The device of claim 13, said split extending approximately three quarters of a length of said panel material, said split located in a middle of said panel of material.

15. The device of claim 14, said first end of said reinforcement sash positioned on an opposite of said split from said second of said reinforcement sash.

16. The device of claim 15, said reinforcement sash having a V-shaped connector at said first end and a V-shaped connector at said second end, said V-shaped connectors respectively having a wide portion affixed to said tactile surface.

17. The device of claim 11, said panel having a width dimension suitable for extending across a roadway, said tactile surface extending across said width dimension, said panel foldable into a concertina.

18. The device of claim 11, said tactile surface comprising an adhesive applied onto a top surface of said panel material.

19. A vehicle stopping device comprising:

a panel of material having a forward end and a rearward end, said panel of material having a dimension suitable for extending across a roadway, said panel of material foldable into a concertina;

a tactile surface formed adjacent to said forward end of said panel of material, said tactile surface adapted to a tire rolling thereover; and

a reinforcement sash affixed to said panel of material and extending in a partial loop over said panel of material, said reinforcement sash having a first end and a second end affixed adjacent to said tactile surface.

20. The device of claim 19, said panel of material having a split extending from said forward end to said rearward end, said reinforcement sash extending around said split, said split having an end spaced from said rearward end, said reinforcement sash extending parallel to said split and around said end of said split.
