ABSTRACT:
A mounting rail extends longitudinally along a vehicle. An installation head is mounted on the vehicle in a position fixed relative to the rail and adjacent to a first end portion of the rail. The head has a setting station from which road markers may be dispensed down onto a roadway. A glue dispenser assembly is slidably mounted on the rail. The assembly includes a dispenser with a nozzle, an anchor, and an anchor actuator. The assembly has a forward index position on a second end portion of the rail. The actuator is operable to move the anchor down into engagement with the roadway to prevent movement of the assembly relative to the roadway. A return actuator is connected to the assembly to allow the assembly to slide along the rail when the anchor is down and to positively move the assembly forwardly along the rail to return it to the index position.
