Abstract: A bollard assembly is formed from a bollard that resides in a tubular socket. The socket has an internal core that is separated from the tube walls by annular recess. The lower end of the bollard is received within the recess. Lifting elements inside the bollard engage the upper surface of the core, and are internally biased in favor of extension. A locking system prevents extension of the lifting elements. When the locking system is unlocked, the pressure of the lifting elements against the core causes the bollard to rise out of and slightly above the socket, without external assistance. Once raised, the bollard may easily be removed from the site of the socket.

Abstract: A method of adding a plurality of customizable event timers to a food freshness printer or smart printer is disclosed. The customizable event timers are added by the operator for the purpose of sounding an alarm to indicate an elapse in time and/or printing labels at a predetermined interval. When the event timer expires and the user acknowledges the audible tone, the user has the option to restart the timer for the next event or delete the timer. Further, the event timers enable the user to either display a message or print a set of labels when the timer expires.
