The present disclosure relates to vertical markers placed in the ground to show property boundaries so that snow-removing ploughs or other vehicles do not damage curbing, drain covers and other areas of property. Many types of location or boundary markers are used in golf courses or on sidewalks. They are poles stuck into the dirt, or socket-and-pole systems, or poles on spring supports that allow the poles to bend when hit, and then flex back into place. An example of a driveway marker is U.S. Pat. No. 4,926,785, disclosing a marker post system.
The present embodiment is a property-boundary marker for driveway or curb that comprises 1. a hollow, elongate tube to hold vertical elongated elements that indicate boundaries during snow removal; 2. an installer piece that screws the hollow tube into the ground; 3. an optional cantilevered extending arm. An advantage of this system acts as a curb marker during snow-removal and prevents damage to curbing, drain covers and other areas by clearly marking property boundaries, protecting the property from damage by snow ploughs or other vehicles.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved method of marking property at the curb or property limit so that snow ploughs or other vehicles do not damage or drive upon a property.
The present disclosure relates to vertical markers placed in the ground to demarcate property boundaries so that snow-removing ploughs or other vehicles do not damage curbing, drain covers and other areas of property. The disclosure illustrated is a driveway or curb marker with a hollow, elongate insert, an elongate installer, and an optional cantilevered extending arm. These parts make up a system for marking property so that snow-removal ploughs do not damage curbing, drain covers or other areas.
As understood by one skilled in the art, the formal principles of the present disclosure are not restricted to a specific property marker and may apply to any property markers of similar structure. For the purpose of clarity a given example property-marker device is shown and described.
These and other non-limiting features or characteristics of the present disclosure will be further described below.
The following is a brief description of the drawings, which are presented for the purposes of illustrating the disclosure set forth herein and not for the purposes of limiting the same.
A more complete understanding of the components, processes, and apparatus disclosed herein can be obtained by reference to the accompanying figures. These figures are intended to demonstrate the present disclosure and are not intended to show relative sizes and dimensions or to limit the scope of the disclosed embodiment(s). Although specific terms are used in the following description, these terms are intended to refer only to particular structures in the drawings and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. Like numeric designations refer to components of like function.
The embodiment is illustrated in
200 is an exploded view of the second iteration, with no pole. The optional, pivoting cantilevered extending arm 230 is inserted into the elongate tube 110. The cantilevered extending arm has a vertical support 236, a horizontal support 234, and a hollow receptacle 232 into which any pole (not shown) can be placed.
The present disclosure has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments. Modifications and alterations will occur to others upon reading and understanding the preceding detailed description. It is intended that the present disclosure be construed as including all such modifications and alterations insofar as they come within the scope of the appended claims or the equivalents thereof.
