  • Patent number: 9968953
    Abstract: A ground marking system includes a position signal receiver configured to receive a position signal and generate current position information based on the position signal. A paint supply is configured to discharge paint onto ground beneath the paint supply. A first actuator is operatively connected to the paint supply for linearly moving the paint supply in both a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction. A second actuator is operatively connected to the paint supply for controlling the discharge of paint from the paint supply. A memory device stores predetermined positional data. A processor is in communication with the position signal receiver and the memory device, and is configured to control linear movements of the first actuator based on the current position information received from the position signal receiver and the predetermined positional data stored in the memory device, and adjust a position of the paint supply.

  • Patent number: 5244172
    Abstract: A temporary sign support stand that is mountable to a concrete barrier in a manner that affords high resistance to toppling from high winds or wind turbulence caused by vehicles passing close by. The support stand comprises an inverted U-shape saddle and a support on the saddle for supporting a post for a sign or other member. The width of the saddle is adjustable to accommodate different widths of concrete barriers and provision is made for anchoring the legs of the saddle to respective sides of the concrete barrier, thereby to securely hold the support stand to the concrete barrier.
