Abstract: A medication recordkeeping device comprised of a label or sheet with a plurality of characters identifying at least one subject upon which a friably removable mask covering obscures each of the characters. The label or sheet is adapted to be fixedly applied to a medication containing vessel wherein each time an individual unit of medication is consumed, the friable removable mask is removed from a character in order that the underlying subject will be exposed so that a visual recored will be kept of the medication consumed. The characters may be dates, numerals or dosage amounts corresponding to a patient's needs or the particular requirements of a medication.

Abstract: Each web-forming unit is configured to snap into an identical adjacent unit so that a plurality thereof form a web which flexes at the joints. Each unit has an article-supporting arm thereon upon which a long, narrow item may be hung and displayed. The web is mounted on rotatable drums so that the web may be advanced around the drums to successively bring forward articles supported on the arms.

Abstract: A stud insertion and mounting device with a threaded bore formed axially through a tubular body. The bore has an open end and a closed end in which an abutting and locking means is positioned at the closed end to abut the stud for rotatably threading said stud into a suitably tapped receiving hole. A means for releasing the abutting and locking means from the mounted stud is provided, upon which when the device is rotated, the device is unthreaded from the mounted stud. The abutting and locking means may be a cylinder with a chamfered end or other shape. The device may be rotatably driven by a conventional pneumatic source or by hand through a conventional socket or open-ended wrench.

Abstract: A self-righting roadway marker support for a flexible boundary or roadway marker has a hollow anchor sleeve sunk into a supporting surface, a mounting collar secured to said anchor sleeve, a pivot strut extending through and upward from the collar, a compressible coil spring to resiliently urge the strut into contact with the collar, and a spring stop which selectively limits the extent to which the coil spring may be compressed. An oblong, radiused or chamfered aperture formed in the collar cooperates with a spring-mounting eyebolt to prevent the strut from rotating when deflected. A tool is also disclosed for installing the marker support. The force required to deflect the support assembly is set to be less than the force that would destroy or permanently set or deform the boundary marker.

Abstract: An improved multi-level vehicle parking facility including a device for emitting an audible sound, preferably a well known song, on each parking level, with a visual display specifically identifying the audible sound emitted on each such level. Each level has a different audible sound emitted thereon and is identified on the corresponding visual display to facilitate recall of that level to an individual parking a vehicle thereon. In a preferred embodiment, the song is that of a city or other geographical area and the sign identifies the city or area.

Abstract: A retroreflective relatively flexible laminate sheet construction has a thermoplastic web with a smooth light-receiving first side and a second side coextensive with said first side. A retroreflective pattern is formed on the second side. A slurry of granular material is deposited on the second side to cover selected portions of the formed pattern with remaining portions of the formed pattern devoid of the granular material, and said slurry is dried or cured to produce a well-defined pattern. A layer of backcoating material is deposited on the second side to overlay the granular material, the backcoating material contacting the thermoplastic web where no granular material has been deposited, thereby encapsulating the granular material between the second side and the backcoating layer. An added, outer layer provides additional weather protection for the thermoplastic web. Methods are detailed to manufacture the laminate, and compositions of backcoating mixtures also are disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus and system for mounting articles to a supporting surface by a mounting bracket, having engaging fingers formed thereon to register with an engage corresponding sockets extend into the article to be mounted. A system is also disclosed with a mounting bracket having parallel arms away from the supporting surface, said arms corresponding to sockets formed upon the article to be mounted.

Abstract: A self-cleaning pavement marker adapted to be installed in a groove below the plane of the driving surface of an associated roadway to provide a retroreflective light signal visible to an oncoming vehicle. The marker comprises an integrally formed elastomeric body adapted to be positioned in a longitudinally extending groove cut in the roadway surface. The body includes an upper portion for receiving a retroreflective lens means. The lens means is effective a retroreflect light impinging upon its front face from an oncoming vehicle back toward the vehicle. The upper body portion of the marker is depressible between a normal position wherein the lens means is positioned below the plane of the associated roadway to retroreflect light impinging on the front face from an oncoming vehicle back toward the light source, and a depressed position caused by the force of a vehicle tire passing over the upper body portion.
