APPARATUS FOR MARKING THE LOCATION OF A UTILITY FIXTURE
20190169806 · 2019-06-06 ·

A device for indicating a position within the ground of a utility fixture, such as on a construction site, includes a resilient body that is able to be secured around an open end of the utility fixture. The resilient body may be secured to the utility fixture using hose clamps. The resilient body supports a pole that extends upward of the resilient body and indicates the location of the utility fixture. When pressure is applied to the pole, such as if a vehicle inadvertently runs over the pole, the resilient body deflects to temporarily displace the pole horizontally. Once the pressure is removed, the resilient body returns the pole to the upward disposition. The resilient body also prevents the ingress of debris into the utility fixture.

IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO PROTECTOR BOLLARDS, BARRIER POSTS AND BARRIER RAILS
20240200291 · 2024-06-20 · ·

Protector bollards, barrier posts and barrier bails are commonly used to protect structures from accidental collisions from vehicles operating in the area. However, they are regularly damaged by such collisions, and once they are damaged the protection they provide is much reduced, and repairs are often complex and expensive. The inventions provide bollards, posts and rails that include resilient members that are designed to absorb the energy from typical collision impacts without being permanently deformed. The use of resilient materials, and the allowance for a degree of flexure, allows the bollards, posts or rails to move to some degree while absorbing the collision loads, and then to return to their original shape or orientation without the need for expensive repairs.
