A bollard system having a bollard, a carrier device, a lock plate, and a cover plate is provided. The bollard may be rotatable between a deployed configuration and a stowed configuration. The carrier device may have a recess adapted to carry the bollard in the stowed configuration, and may be adapted to be recessed within the ground. The lock plate may be adapted to maintain the bollard in the deployed configuration. The cover plate may be carried by the carrier device and adapted to cover a portion of the recess. The cover plate may be moveable between an opened position and a closed position. When the cover plate is in the opened position, the bollard may be rotatable between the deployed configuration and the stowed configuration. When the cover plate is in the closed position, the cover plate may be configured to be flush with the ground.

The present invention relates to a mechanically expandable and collapsible traffic warning device safety marker comprising a base member, a controllable linear motion machine assembly and a battery with its connecting components which are contained within the base member, a collapsible body member, and an actuator switch member. The controllable linear motion machine assembly is controlled by an actuator switch member that enables the collapsible body member to mechanically collapse and expand upon user interaction. The controllable linear motion machine assembly mechanically retracts the collapsible body member to a nested position within the base member for compaction upon the user pressing the actuator switch member resulting in the mechanically expandable and collapsible traffic warning device safety marker to be easily stored within a compartment of a vehicle and mechanically expanding the expandable and collapsible body member conveniently to a ready for application condition.

An intelligent cone comprises a base; a cone section; at least one light; a 360 degree motion sensing system; a fan; and at least one hardware processor; and one or more software modules that are configured to, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, receive information from the sensing system indicating that a person is approaching the intelligent cone, activate the at least one light as a warning to the approaching person, and operate the fan to dry a spill or moisture that is creating a safety issue.

Traffic cone assemblies include a first wall portion disposed at an acute angle relative to a longitudinal axis to at least partially defines a hollow interior of the traffic cone assembly. The first wall portion includes polyvinyl chloride as well as first, second and third plasticizers each in an amount of 10-20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of polyvinyl chloride. The first wall portion also includes a heat stabilizer in an amount of 1-5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of polyvinyl chloride, and a first colorant in an amount of 0.5-2 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of polyvinyl chloride. Additionally, or in the alternative, traffic cone assemblies include a body section and a base section. The body section includes with first, second and third wall portions. Methods of manufacture are also included.
