Guard to Prevent Curb Damage
A curb guard is provided having two parts which are slideably engageable with each other such that a spacing between the parts can be selectively varied and then fixed in position while also providing a holder or anchor for an indicator pole, with the holder or anchor positioned at a border of an area to be plowed. The curb guard can be easily inserted into grass or dirt located on one side of curbing and placed over such curbing to allow the indicator pole to be positioned at the boundary of the plowing area.
APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING ACCESSORIES ON A SUPPORT SURFACE
Apparatus, systems and methods for providing one or more accessories on a support surface include a base releasably engageable with the support surface, a housing configured to carry at least a first accessory and be releasably engaged with the base and an elongated carrier rod configured to carry at least a second accessory and be releasably engaged with the base.
Stanchion apparatus for umbrella and crowd control rope line
A cylindrical two-piece pole stand assembly that automatically locks together upon insertion of a pole is disclosed which has a permanently set in-ground sleeve base formed of a length of tubing with a top end and a bottom end. A crowd control and umbrella stanchion made from a length of tubing has an outside surface with a diameter that allows for a sliding fit into or onto the sleeve. The crowd control and umbrella stanchion includes a locking mechanism for locking the crowd control and umbrella stanchion to the sleeve base. The crowd control and umbrella stanchion has a pair of upper loops welded on opposite sides of an upper portion of the crowd control and umbrella stanchion which provides a single stanchion upright which allows for the attachment of crowd control ropes or chains and also provides for the insertion of an umbrella pole to allow for an umbrella to be secured in the same location as said stanchion uprights.

High Speed Hig Performance Delineator System
A traffic delineator system having a flexible delineator body member, a base member, a cylindrical load-collar attached to the body member at a first end and having a second end with rigid tapering threaded shoulder members to be releasably interlocked within a receiving space in the base member. The collar has tapering side walls with a varying thickness from a first end to a second end.
POLE SUPPORT
There is disclosed a pole support for removably supporting a hollow tubular pole, wherein the pole has a latching recess provided along its length. The pole support includes a housing defining a socket that is open at its operative upper end for receiving the pole. A latch is located within the socket and is mounted on a pivot to be pivotally movable between a latched position and an unlatched position. The latch has a latching arm extending on one side of the pivot and a ballast arm extending on an opposed side of the pivot, wherein a centre-of-weight of the latch is located off-centre from the pivot in the ballast arm so that ballast arm normally biases latch under gravity into its latched position.
