Abstract: A safety warning flag assembly for use with highway trucks provides for a foldable placard which is attachable to the front end of a highway truck. The placard, attached longitudinally along the front bumper is foldable along its longitudinal length. When closed, the placard essentially becomes part of the bumper. When opened, the placard displays a warning sign to oncoming traffic. With the placard in its open position, a flag receiving fixture attached to the placard allows a conically shaped flag and flag holder to be received within the fixture. In an alternative embodiment, the flag fixture is functionally adapted to receive the flag from various angles such that the flag can be flown at its most effective angle for warning traffic of the approaching wide load. In another alternative embodiment, the flag fixture may be attachable to other parts of the truck and may be used in conjunction with the warning placard.

Abstract: Upright and pendent sprinklers for attachment to a supply of fire extinguishant each include a nozzle defining an opening for directing a stream of extinguishant, a deflector for deflecting a portion of the stream generally radially outwardly from the axis of the nozzle opening, and a framework or yoke for supporting the deflector in fixed spaced-apart relation to the nozzle. In the upright sprinkler, a second deflector is provided for deflecting a second portion of the stream generally downwardly concentric with the axis of the nozzle opening. The second deflector includes a downwardly facing concave surface bounded by an outer downwardly directed discharging lip. The second deflector is located intermediate the nozzle and the first-mentioned deflector.
