ABSTRACT:
A safety or traffic marker is capable of providing a continuous physical border between two locations. A housing, or one of several adapters, are employed in a conventional traffic cone to dispense an elongated strip of tape therefrom. In one embodiment, the housing is physically incorporated into the interior of the marker, and is adapted for easy insertion and removal of a tape or safety material dispenser. In order to achieve easy insertion of the tape dispenser into the housing, the upper portion of the marker is split into separable sections. Since the marker is fabricated from a deformable material, the upper portion can be manually separated into an opened position for insertion of the tape dispenser therein. Hook and loop fasteners may be used to fasten together the two sections into a closed position. Adapters may also be used in conjunction with conventional traffic markers for creating a continuous physical border between two or more locations.
