Abstract:

A railroad crossing gate has an arm that is capable of swivelling axially when a force is applied, rather than breaking. The gate arm is substantially resistant to breakage caused by high winds and contact with the tops of vehicles. In addition, a broken gate arm is easier to replace than in a traditional railroad crossing gate. In a preferred embodiment, the improved gate arm is attached to the gate mechanism through a swivel bracket, and is maintained in a preferred orientation by gravity.

Abstract:

A polishing lace comprising a roll of thin fabric having a central axis and a free end. The roll of thin fabric is impregnated with a cleaning and disinfecting compound. A thin object, such as the spoke of a wheel of a motor vehicle is cleaned by forming at least one loop around the spoke and pulling the ends of the impregnated ribbon back and forth to clean and polish the spoke. Preferably a second not impregnated fabric take is utilized to remove any polish residue from the spoke. A container holding a roll of the polishing lace has a scissors portion for cutting off a length of tape from the roll.
