Abstract: A movement-indicating vehicle tire includes a tire body of some color, having a tread and a pair of opposed sidewalls, and a contrasting colored safety spot located on the tire body. In a specific embodiment the safety spot is located on the tire tread. In another specific embodiment, the safety spot is located on a tire sidewall. In another embodiment a vehicle wheel has a rim, an outwardly facing surface of some color, and a contrasting colored safety spot located on the outwardly facing surface. Rotation of the tire and wheel causes the safety spot to provide visual indication of vehicle movement.

Abstract: This patent is for a system for marking on large surface materials that aids in the material use and application where fasteners are applied through the surface, other materials are attached to the surface, or the large surface material is to be cut into a smaller parts. The markings are a coordinate pattern or patterns that can be attached to, printed on, or overlaid on a surface such that the markings give a visual surface location reference which aids in surface material applications. In operation the location marking(s) show relative location places where a fastener may be applied, another material may be placed, or a cutting plane may be done more accurately. The markings may be precise for a specific application or relative from surface edge-to-edge or/and top to bottom according to the material use.
