Apparatus or systems are disclosed for forming a serial array of temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs), disposed upon a single, common release sheet or release liner, into a collated and nested array of the temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs) such that the collated and nested array of temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs) can be supplied to apparatus for dispensing and applying the temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs) onto pavement surfaces. In accordance with the first embodiment of the apparatus or system of the present invention, the plurality of temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs) are formed from a single temporary raised pavement marker (TRPM) extrusion, are subsequently mounted upon the single, common release sheet or release liner which has a plurality of adhesive patches previously disposed thereon, and the assembly, comprising the plurality of temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs) and the common release sheet or release liner, are formed into a collated and nested array, whereas in accordance with the second embodiment of the apparatus or system of the present invention, a plurality of pre-formed temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs), having adhesive patches already disposed thereon, are serially deposited and adhered onto a single, common release sheet or release liner, and subsequently, the assembly, comprising the plurality of temporary raised pavement markers (TRPMs) and the common release sheet or release liner, are formed into a collated and nested array. |
