Abstract:
A parking space sign system that is placed in a parking space at the interior end and includes a U-shaped flexible bracket defining a base and two opposing arms projecting from the base, a pair of frame mounts adapted for mounting to the projecting arms, at least one sign panel having indicia thereon for placement in one of the frame mounts and an end cap for each end of each frame mount to secure the frame mounts to the flexible bracket. The flexible brackets are preferably made from a rubber-based material used for tires.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, an electric vehicle charging station comprises a body attached to a base, wherein the base is operably connected to a deflector mechanism, wherein the body moves from a rest position disposed along a major axis of the electric vehicle charging station to an impact position, with an articulation angle disposed therebetween, upon an impact having a force greater than or equal to 5 kiloNewtons.
Abstract:
A post sleeve provides a substantially permanent base for supporting a post for a fence or sign, and from which one post can be removed and replaced with another post. The sleeve includes a concrete body that is poured on site, using a sleeve core prepositioned in the post hole, and around which wet concrete is poured. After the concrete is cured, the core is removed, leaving a post sleeve cavity configured to receive a post. The core can be rigid, or can include a flexible shell and stiffener. A preformed post sleeve top can be attached to the sleeve core and positioned therewith in the post hole, to become a permanent part of the post sleeve, once the concrete cures. A drain is attached to the core, and remains in the sleeve when the core is removed, and can be a percolation chamber, or passage extending below the sleeve.
Abstract:
A cable marker pole system is described for marking the location of buried utility cabling. The cable marker pole system includes a base for embedding in earth or concrete, and a two-part pole assembly that couples with the base. The two-part pole assembly includes a spring coupling the two pole members to allow the pole assembly to flex if struck. A sign is attached to the top of the pole assembly to indicate what is buried.
Abstract:
A road restraint system part is made of polyolefin material having an energy absorption of at least 10 kJ/m2 at +23° C. and at least 5 kJ/m2 at −20° C. (determined according to ISO 179/1eA with notched specimens).
Abstract translation:道路约束系统部分由聚烯烃材料制成,其在+ 23℃下的能量吸收至少为10kJ / m 2,在-20℃下具有至少5kJ / m 2(根据ISO 179 / 1eA确定,带有凹口 标本)。
Abstract:
A self-aligning pivotable delineator pole preferably includes a first post, a second post, a first retention tube, a second retention tube, a first coupling member, a second coupling member and an extension spring. A first end of the extension spring is retained in the first retention tube. A second end of the extension spring is retained in the second retention tube. One end of the first post is preferably joined to the first retention tube with the first coupling member. The second post is preferably joined to the second retention tube with the second coupling member. The other end of the first post is inserted into the ground or retained in a weighted base. If a person or an object contacts the second post, the second post will pivot relative to the first post and return to its original position, after the contact ceases.
Abstract:
Apparatus is disclosed for forming a serial array of temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs), which are disposed upon a single, common release liner, into a collated and nested array of the temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs) such that the collated and nested array of temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs) can be supplied to apparatus for dispensing and applying the temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs) onto pavement surfaces. In accordance with a first embodiment of the apparatus, the plurality of temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs) are formed from a single temporary raised pavement marker (TRPM) extrusion, the extrusion is cut, and subsequently, the markers are mounted upon the single, common release sheet or release liner which has a plurality of adhesive patches previously disposed thereon. The assembly, comprising the plurality of temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs) and the common release liner, is then formed into a collated and nested array. In accordance with a second embodiment of the apparatus, a plurality of pre-formed temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs), having adhesive patches already disposed thereon, are serially deposited and adhered onto a single, common release liner, and subsequently, the assembly, comprising the plurality of temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs) and the common release sheet or release liner, are formed into a collated and nested array.
Abstract:
A safety marker includes an hollow frusto-conical body; a base having an bowl-shaped main portion and a resiliently flexible skirt for yieldably stabilizing the marker against tipping relative to a supportive surface, the body being connected in upstanding relation to an inner portion of the base and concentric therewith, the base being formed to clear the cone defined by the inside surface of the body, the bowl being sufficiently large relative to the body and the base being weighted sufficiently that the marker is self-righting, the skirt being sufficiently flexible to be deflected against the bowl for preserving the self-righting capability of the marker. A flag supported relative to the body is movable between a deployed position projecting from the body and a storage position extending proximate the outer surface of the body, the flag being biased into the deployed position, whereby the storage position is attained and maintained in the stacked condition by the adjacent marker and the deployed position is attained and maintained upon unstacking of the adjacent marker, identical counterparts of the safety marker being stackable with the outside body surface of one marker being in proximate contact with the inside body surface of an adjacent marker.
