摘要： A flexible support is constructed by mechanically laminating a plurality of relatively wide, thin, elongate flexible members together. The members are preferably formed of spring steel, and each individually is quite flexible due to the thin configuration. Preferably, each of the members is curved about its longitudinal axis to provide additional rigidity. The members are used to support traffic delineators, road signs, and/or other objects as desired, with the strength and resiliency required being adjusted by adjusting the number of individual members comprising each laminated support. The flexibility may be further adjusted by placement of one or more tension adjusters at one or more points along the length of the laminated support, with the attachments for the tension adjusters also being used to secure the laminations together. The fasteners used may be installed through holes formed through the support, or may pass laterally about the sides or edges of the support. The tension adjusters may also be used for securing signs or other objects to the support, and/or for the attachment of additional brackets extending laterally from the support for holding additional signs or other objects. A cap may also be installed for holding a street sign or other object at the upper end of the support, if so desired. The present flexible support is particularly well suited for use in displaying road signs and the like, with its construction allowing it to flex over when struck, and to return to its upright position afterwards.
