Abstract: A weighted sign post base which may be formed in various weights and has a central portion made of resilient material, such as compression molded rubber, having a universal sign post mounting hole molded into the center of the base. The universal sign post mounting hole is uniquely shaped to create a friction grip sufficient to secure the sign post to the universal sign post base upon insertion of the sign post into the universal sign post mounting hole, thereby eliminating the need of any mounting hardware and allowing speedy erection of the sign.

Abstract: A utility cover system which includes an outer frame having an opening defined by an inner tapered edge, and a wedge cover plate formed of a resilient material having an outer tapered edge that fits within the opening of the outer frame. The outer frame preferably has an inner segment and an outer segment, wherein the outer segment is thinner than the inner segment. The cover plate is sufficiently flexible to be removably positionable into engagement with the outer frame by passing through the outer frame opening.

Abstract: A utility cover system and method of covering and sealing an access cover for a utility entrance within a road surface. The utility cover system includes an outer frame having an opening defined by an inner edge, and a wedge cover of resilient material having an outer mating edge that fits within the opening of the outer frame. The wedge cover is removably positionable to cover the access opening by passing through the opening defined in the outer frame.

Abstract: A utility cover system for preventing water and silt leakage into a utility entrance within a road surface. The utility cover system includes an outer frame having an opening defined by an inner tapered edge, and a wedge cover having an outer tapered edge that fits within the opening of the outer frame. The outer frame preferably has an inner segment and an outer segment, wherein the outer segment is thinner than the inner segment.
