ABSTRACT:
A ground-penetrating marker apparatus includes a sign-supporting assembly which includes a frame-like receptacle portion adapted to receive an information-bearing card. A spike assembly is connected to a bottom portion of the sign-supporting assembly, and the spike assembly is adapted for penetration into a ground surface. A cover assembly is connected to a top portion of the sign-supporting assembly for protecting the receptacle portion of the sign-supporting assembly from rain. The sign-supporting assembly includes a floor portion, a back wall portion supported by the floor portion, a front wall portion supported by the floor portion, and two side wall portions connected between the back wall portion and the front wall portion, all of which together define the receptacle portion of the sign-supporting assembly. A holder assembly for a writing implement is connected to a rear portion of the sign-supporting assembly. The bottom portion of the sign-supporting assembly includes a threaded well, and the spike assembly includes a threaded upper end adapted to be screwed into the threaded well of the sign-supporting assembly. A hinge assembly connects the sign-supporting assembly with the cover assembly. The cover assembly includes an L-shaped cover member connected to the second portion of the hinge assembly. The L-shaped cover member includes a transparent panel portion which permits viewing an information-bearing card in position in the receptacle portion of the sign-supporting assembly.
