Abstract
A reflector device that is an improved private property line marker comprised of a slide-over, reflective device for property fences. The reflector device comprises a body component that is configured in multiple shapes and configurations, such as square, circular, cross-shaped, triangular, etc., with a hollow interior cavity, allowing the body component to be slid over a fence post, wire, stake, etc. Further, the body component can also be configured in a flat design, allowing the device to be secured to a tree or other object. The device can be adapted for use with any boundary marker and may be any color but is preferably purple or orange. Furthermore, a purple or orange reflective material is applied to the body component. Thus, the device would be visible in at least two directions, and up to four directions.
Claims20
A reflector device that provides a user with visible property line markers to identify a property line, the reflector device comprising:
- a body component;
- wherein the body component comprises a hollow interior cavity, allowing the body component to be slid over a fence post;
- and
- further wherein the body component comprises a reflective material which gives the body component visibility, especially in low light conditions.
A reflector device that provides a user with visible property line markers to identify a property line, the reflector device comprising:
- a body component comprising an exterior surface and an interior surface;
- and
- wherein the body component is configured in multiple shapes and configurations, such as square, circular, cylindrical, cross-shaped, or triangular;
- wherein the body component comprises a hollow interior cavity, allowing the body component to be slid over a fence post, rail, slat or stake, and to prevent rotational movement of the body component relative to the fence post, rail, slat or stake;
- wherein the body component comprises open, opposing ends, that allow access to the hollow, interior cavity;
- wherein the body component comprises a reflective material which gives the body component visibility, especially in low light conditions;
- wherein the body component is covered completely over its exterior surface with a layer of the reflective material;
- wherein the reflective material is purple or orange;
- and
- further wherein the body component is friction fit on the fence post, rail, slat or stake, allowing for easy insertion and removal.
A method of identifying property lines via visible property line markers, the method comprising the following steps:
- providing a reflector device comprising a body component with a hollow interior cavity and comprising a purple or orange reflective material;
- choosing a specific configuration for the reflector device based on the shape of the fence post to be used;
- sliding the specific configuration of the reflector device over at least one fence post;
- and securing the reflector device to a tree or other object.
