Abstract: A flexible marker holding and dispensing device. An elongate shaft includes a proximal end and a distal end extending away from the proximal end. A handle is connected to the proximal end of the elongate shaft. A trigger component protrudes from the elongate shaft at the proximal end near the handle. A flexible marker engaging mechanism is housed within a portion of the elongate shaft and is in communication with the trigger component.

Abstract: A traffic cone system includes a base, a sleeve, and a retainer. The retainer substantially secures the sleeve relative to the base. A member such as a spring may be inserted into the sleeve make the sleeve stand upright. The member may act in concert with the retainer to secure the sleeve relative to the base. The system may be used to refurbish damaged traffic cones or may otherwise be retrofitted to existing traffic cone components. The system may alternatively be used to build new cones.
