A WARNING DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE
A warning device for a vehicle comprising a number plate support portion for supporting a number plate. The warning device further comprises a warning indicator. The number plate support portion is movably attached to the warning indicator. The number plate support portion is moveable from a first position covering the warning indicator to a second position revealing the warning indicator. Further, the warning device comprises a number plate support portion pivotably attached to the warning Indicator such that the number plate support portion and the warning device fold together and fold apart when the number plate support portion is moved between the first position and the second position.
Flag lighting systems attachable to flagpoles
A lighting attachment for a flagpole includes at least one reflector that directs light from a light source to illuminate front and rear faces of the flag. In one embodiment, the reflector has at least one concavely dished parabolic surface. In another embodiment, the reflector is held in a sleeve that rotates about the flagpole in response to flag movement. In still another embodiment, a swivel connector is fastened to the top of the flagpole and a lower lighting unit to illuminate a flag is rotatably engaged around the flagpole. In yet another embodiment, a rotatable flag bracket is held in an outer groove of a sleeve of the finial attachment, and a finial globe is illuminated by a light source. The housing for the lighting attachment and/or the finial attachment may include at least one power source, such as solar panels and associated energy accumulators (e.g., batteries).
SPINNING INDICATOR FOR PROSPECTIVE PASSENGERS AT TRANSIT STOPS AND METHOD OF USE
A spinnable indicator for transit stops has a disc having a front side and a rear side, the front side having a reflective portion and a non-reflective portion, and a mounting bracket, wherein the disc is spinnably coupled to the mounting bracket, the mounting bracket mountable to a pole or beam. The reflective portion creates high visibility at night. In one method of use, a prospective passenger approaches a spinnable indicator, and, when a bus or other transit unit is approaching, spins the spinnable indicator. The reflective portion on the front side of the spinnable indicator alerts the driver that a prospective passenger is waiting transit.
Shimmer Disc Or Image Apparatus And A Method Of Use Thereof
A shimmer disc or image apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a support member, at least one shimmer disc or member, and engagement means provided on or associated with the support member and/or shimmer disc or member for engaging the at least one shimmer disc or member to the support member in use to form an engaged position. The support member, engagement means and/or the at least one shimmer disc or member are arranged such that when engaged, at least part of the at least one shimmer disc or member is movable relative to the engagement means and/or support member in use. The at least one shimmer disc or member is arranged such that at least part of the same is able to flex in use and/or is resiliently biased to the engaged position in use.
Reflective decorative assembly
The present invention is an assembly and method for providing a reflective decoration assembly that includes a frame having a pair of opposing frame edges and a plurality of first frame supports, where each frame support is arranged in a plane with at least two other first frame supports, is arranged in a plane defined by the pair of opposing frame edges, has a portion between the pair of opposing frame edges, and is substantially parallel to at least one other first frame support. The reflective decoration assembly also features a plurality of second frame supports, each being arranged in an intersecting configuration with at least two of the first frame supports. Disc attachment posts have a first end attached to the frame and a second end separated from the first end, the second end having a disc retaining head thereat.
Reflective decorative panel
A reflective decorative panel is provided, which comprises a monolithic base that is a module of the panel and cantilever elements made integral with the base. Movable reflective elements are arranged on the cantilever elements by using holes. Connecting elements for connecting the modules of different reflective decorative panels are provided on edge sections of the base. Each connecting element is made stepwise: with a first protrusion and a second protrusion on one side, and with a protruding element extending from the first protrusion on another side such that there is a groove under the protruding element. The connecting elements are configured to rigidly connect the panels due to the entry of the protrusions and grooves of one panel into the reciprocal grooves and protrusions of another panel. The reflective decorative panel simplifies the process of assembling connectable panel modules and increases the reliability of their connections.
