Abstract: A cable marker includes a flag for connection to a support stake, wherein the flag has a center portion for connection to the support stake and includes a first side portion having an exterior display surface for an identification sign and a second side portion having an exterior display surface for an identification sign. By using a first side portion having an exterior display surface with an identification sign and a second side portion having an exterior display surface with an identification sign, the problem of not knowing the type of underground line being identified by the marker is avoided.

Abstract: A cable identification system for locating and identifying an elongated cable includes a first elongated tape member and a second elongated tape member joined together at a hinge angle. The elongated marker is provided with a plurality of longitudinally spaced slot portions and a plurality of longitudinally spaced tab portions. The elongated marker has a lower vertical portion with about a 180° hinge angle and fixed connection to a cable and an upper portion with a selected hinge angle for extension thereof either above a ground level of a backfilled trench in a vertical direction, or below and parallel to the ground level of the backfilled trench in a horizontal direction.

Abstract: An inground marker for a subterranean object, such as a septic tank, includes an imitation paving stone molded from a plastic material in the general shape of an inverted rectangular pan having a substantially planar top surface. The top surface has a recessed area or depression in which an insert bearing a message indicating the presence of a subterranean object is secured.

Abstract: A warning sign for mounting on a structural member, such as a cross arm of a utility pole, has an elongated U-shaped support member and a warning message disposed thereon. The warning sign is installed on the structural member by a utility worker at ground level by pushing it upward onto the structural member, about which it locks and cannot be easily removed. The support member and warning message are preferably extruded from high-density polyethylene which includes ultraviolet (UV) inhibitors.

Abstract: A warning sign for a utility pole includes a layer manufactured in curved or tubular form. The warning sign returns to such form when flattened having acquired a memory of that form through manufacture. A tool for installing the warning sign about a utility pole is also described.

Abstract: A utility pole identification system in which alphanumeric symbols and a replaceable bar code insert are incorporated into a tag which is affixed to a pole, with the symbols and bar code used to display information concerning the pole and/or utility equipment supported thereon. The information thus encoded in the tag can be read by utility inspection/maintenance personnel.

Abstract: A reflective warning and locating collar for fire hydrants, pylons or support posts to improve their visibility and identity, the collar having a support member defined by a flexible extruded web having flanges along the longitudinal edges to define a channel slot for receipt of an elongate flexible reflective member in web form slidably receivable within the channel, the ends of the reflective member and support member having a plurality of alignable apertures for receipt of a fastening member.

Abstract: A tamper-resistant marker is formed of metal sheet material from a substantially planar blank thereof having a perimeter and two faces. The marker has a flange extending therefrom about the perimeter in a direction substantially perpendicular to the faces. The marker also has indicia with raised portions on one of the two faces, the raised portions being raised in a direction opposite to that of the flange. Methods of manufacturing the marker and of mounting it on a surface are also disclosed.

Abstract: A tamper-resistant marker includes a blank of metal sheet material in the form of a plane having a perimeter and two faces. A flange extends about the perimeter in a direction substantially perpendicular to the faces. One face of the metal blank has a rim raised in a direction opposite to that of the flange and forming a depression on the face. A label bearing a message to be posted using the marker is disposed in the depression and covered with a coating of polyurethane forming a dome over the label.

Abstract: A supplemental reflective and informational member securable within the C-shaped channel of existing traffic sign posts to provide additional reflective safety warning, extend the life of the traffic sign function from fading due to UV sun rays and to provide information of a safety, directional or commercial nature.

Abstract: A sign and method of manufacturing same to impart information or warning to an individual, the sign having three distinct levels, each level of a separate color, the selective removal of a portion of one level revealing the color of the second level and the continued removal of the second level revealing the color of the third level, thereby forming a sign with a three dimensional message, the third or lower most level preferably being of a color translucent to light so as to enhance visibility or warning when backlit by natural or artificial light, the middle layer preferably being black in order to impart a text message, and the first layer or upper layer being of a high visibility color, preferably white.

Abstract: A reflective mounting member mountable to a traffic sign post to augment the warning capability of the sign post or to provide a text message, the sign post being defined by a rear wall, divergent side walls extending from said rear wall and terminating in opposing planar flanges thereby defining a U-shaped longitudinal channel, the mounting member having a U-shaped channel formed therein such that it mates about the exterior of the U-shaped channel of the traffic sign post and is mounted thereto.

Abstract: A supplemental reflective and informational member securable to a mounting member positionable within the C-shaped channel of existing traffic sign posts. The supplemental reflective and informational member can provide information of a safety, directional or commercial nature.

Abstract: A process for die cutting a sheet of thermoplastic material imprintd with information or data of limited spatial displacement therebetween wherein the data is sequentially die cut in alternating rows and lines in a plurality of registered die cutting stations until all such pieces have been die cut generally in like sizes or pieces and wherein each piece is in residual attachment to the sheet of thermoplastic material.
